2 LINCOLN NEWS Class % pi CASUAL observer on Maple Avenue in the Fall of 1926 on the twenty-first of September, would have seen a steady, almost unbroken string of toiling, sweating, humiliated, but gallant young men, the Class of '30. On they struggled, panting and disheveled— stopping now and then to draw a breath, only to be lashed and goaded on by the threatening presence of the terrible gods, the Sophomores. Our lirst apprecia- tion of the campus was immediately “scrunched” by the amazingly warm reception given us by the Sophs. It wasn’t long before we attempted to organize in order to overthrow the yoke of oppression that so con- stantly beset us. Led by Snowden, we inaugurated a rebellion that went down in the annals of history. Things finally got settled and we held a class meet- ing, elected Dwiggins president and Snowden, student councilman. Several men went out for football and made good; among them were: Temple, Waters, Brooks, Dwiggins, Frazier, Longshore, Carter, Troy, Preston, Sewell, and Jit Taylor. In the annual Fresh- man-Sophomore football classic we found the mighty gods no trouble at all, winning 6-0. Exams found us a rattled but hopeless class. After the whirlwind of Prof. Wright’s math, had swept over us, the storm of Grim’s Biology had subsided, and Boothby’s English avalanche passed, we found our ranks depleted by only four men. A large percentage had made the honor roll. That Spring, ’30 made history by defeating the Cheyney debating team and the Sophomore team in rapid succession. Besides placing seven men on the Varsity baseball team the remaining baseball men won the Intra-mural cup. although we never got it. Derry, George Lee, and Longshore represented the class on the track team. We concluded a successful lirst year by finishing second to the Class of ’28 in Intra-mural track and putting Skinny Lawson and Lank Young on the tennis team. The following Fall our arrival was quite different from that of the preceding year. So enthusiastic and thorough was our hazing that a host of fellows was was given a two weeks’ vacation to cool its ardor. Not- withstanding that, we returned to cut the preps’ hair, and strangely enough, nothing happened. A clean slate was maintained by the defeat of the Preps in the Kampus Klassic, 12-6.’ Troy, Jit Taylor and Taylor made Varsity L’s. In February, Flem- ing joined our ranks, making a total of four new fellows, the other three being Beak Silvera, Ralph Baker and F. B. Jackson. That Spring the track team istor| won the C. I. A. A. championship with Derry Silvera, and Baker being largely responsible. Jiver Jackson, Ole Gal Hall, Jit Taylor and Dick Temple were the main springs of the baseball team. Incidentally, Moby Dick was elected Captain for the next year. We returned in 1928 to find our ranks somewhat depleted, number only seventy-seven as compared with our registration of one hundred and sixteen in our prep year. As upper-classmen, we proceeded to annex the dignity that is synonymous with Juniors. Fountaine took over the duties of instructor in Elementary Latin, Longshore in Biology and Anatomy, Diggs in Caesar, Holloway in English, McFall in Chemistry and Tate in Physics. Pi Gamma Psi led by its President, W. Fountain, staged its Junior Prom in New York City, and it will ever be remembered for its magnificent splendor and feminine pulchritude. September 1929 arrived and the now Noble Seniors returned to Lincoln to wind up their college career in a blaze of glory. Temple, Jit Taylor, Jiver Jackson, Troy, Frazier, Freeman, Derry, Shorty Carter. Pud Waters and George Lee aided Lincoln athletic teams in producing the best record in years of achievement in the realm of sport. Scholastically led by Holloway and Murray, respectively, the Valedictorian and Saluta- torian of our class, we led all other classes in the num- ber of honor men in proportion to class membership. Our social success was ever increased and we helped the Junior class to give a Prom, which I must admit was the best and most exclusive ever given or men- tioned in the annals of Lincoln’s social history. And so comes our Commencement, and the severing of the tie that had help us together through four years of trial and tribulation, triumph and failure, which is the experience of all college men. We look forward to our emergence into the world of men with bated breath. We stand on lip-toe with expectation and hope. We strain our eyes for the first blush of dawn after a night of ignorance as to what is going on in the world. Our hearts beat with courage to solve the problems waiting for us with each unforseen turn of the wheel of life. What this world held in store for the Class of ’30 As it was born on this immortal bed, Is one more riddle that the cryptic earth, Although knowing, chooses to retain unsaid. Perhaps we shall be enlightened at'our class reunion in 1940. HERBERT S. HARRIS, Jr. FOREWORD Within these pages we have attempted to place the thoughts and pictures of those who thru four years' associa- tion have become dear to us. In after years when College duys have become just fond memories we may by turning these pages turn back the years which have passed on into eternity and recall those friends of yesteryeur whom the winds of destiny have scattered to the four corners of the Universe. It has been impossible to record all the events of our college careers or say all of the things about each individual that we would like to, but that would be a Job to which no one is equal. In our small way we have done our best to make this a suitable climax to our sojourn here ut our be- loved Alma Mater. WALTER E. LONGSHORE. Editor-In-Chief.
