ENTER TQmBSBH DEDICATION r Dr. Armstaad © (frubb Armstead Otey j attended four town school High School: at Boise ia for a year. DAILY He ci 192B U' jlorn in Chanute, Kansas, in 1903. In four years of high school he schools in four different states. After enrolling in his home- attended Manitou High School, Manitou, Colorado; Hyde Park i jpBoise High School, Boise, Idaho. He received his high school diploma instead of continuing his education immediately, he worked at odd jobs time was spent with a survey gang and as a reporter for the BOISE JBIAN. 'Us job as a reporter after he enrolled at Princeton, and during the summer of acting city editor of the BOISE DAILY STATESMAN. In 1925, five years after from Boise High School, he took his A.B. at Princeton University with a major Ic Languages. From Princeton he went to William Penn Charter School in Phila- teach French. Meanwhile, he also did graduate work at the University of Penn- He was instructor in Romance languages for ten years at William Penn Charter f and during this time he took his M.A. and Ph. D. in Romance languages at the [niversity of Pennsylvania. jr Grubb arrived at Lincoln in 1937. He combined the duties of registrar and instructor in IJIomance languages. He served as registrar from 1937 to 1939. In 1940 he relinquished this position to become librarian while continuing to teach. He served as librarian from 1940 to 1949 when he gave up that position to devote his full time to teaching. Some of the members of the class of 1958 who had their careers in college interrupted by several years in the armed services met Dr. Grubb in his first years as an instructor. Most of us, however, met him four years ago and many of us have had several courses in the Romance languages under him. These four years of college have been the most enriching experience of our lives thus far and it is with one voice that we say Dr. Grubb has done more th n his share to make them so. As freshmen the frequency of his exams frightened us. As sophomores we began to understand the merits of his system. As juniors and seniors we have gone back to reap the benefits of his wide experience in the field of teaching and advising. It is with sincere appreciation for everything that we dedicate to this very modest and un- assuming gentleman the 1958 Lion. Dr. Armstead Otey Grubb, we deem ourselves fortunate to have known you. 4 ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY Administration Building: Office building for the President, Deans of College and Students, Registrar, Public Relations, and Business Manager. Armstead O. Grubb Acting President Dear Graduates of 1958: The cliche would have it that you are about to go out into a cold, cruel world. It is. however, hardly necessary to point out that it is the selfsame world with which you have grown tolerably well acquainted in the twenty-one years, more of less, of a not wholly cloistered or cotton- wooled life, and while coldness and cruelty are unmistakably two of its aspects, it is not al- together lacking in either hospitality or kindliness. Well, whatever the world is like, it is a place where courage and honor and charity are more than ever prime virutes, so prime that in this Atomic Age there cannot even be survival without them. Nobody is a perfect exemplar of these qualities, but they are substantial ingredients of the Lincoln spirit which you have imbibed at the source and now embody, and I think you well fortified. It is with an ulterior motive that we shall follow very attentively what you and your prede- cessors are doing, for the good reason that your accomplishments are ultimately the measure of our worth as an institution, a measure more accurate and final than the rating of any accredit- ing agency. But mostly we wish you well because we know and like you and have faith in you. May you grow, but without ever letting new commitments remove you entirely from us; further mature, but without losing that freshness of spirit which is so attractive too in the later decades; succeed, but without of necessity valuing the triumph more than the quest. Godspeed to you all I You bear with you our heartfelt good wishes. Sincerely, A. O. Grubb The class of 1958 will go out into a world in which there is increasing opportunity in industry, government and business. The demands of the professions, so long entered by large numbers of Lincoln graduates, are great. It is my belief that your training at Lincoln University will enable you to take your places in the world with rewarding satisfaction in an enviornment of free and open fellowship and competition. Many of you will want to or must pursue your education further. It has been said that any formula for individual success begins and ends with a man’s enterprise. A definite purpose, abundance of enthusiasm, positive thinking and a basic interest in helping others - these are essentials for success. Applied to your further ed- ucation and living, you cannot fail to make a positive contribution to improving human understanding. H. F. Grim Dean of the University Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. These words of Jesus are the words we need to hear in a world that is broken into fragments by hatred and prejudice. This prayer reminds us that we cannot forgive until we have known what it means to be forgiven by our God. Only as we are set free can we bring freedom to others. It is the purpose of our University to point men to the roots of true freedom by asserting that If the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. May your lives be the best evidence of the truth of these words. Andrew E. Murray Dean of the Seminary 8 To the Class of 1958 Men of Pi, I salute you! Four years ago you crossed the Rubicon uttering these famous lines . . .alea iacta est, the die is cast. Today you rejoice as you reach the summit, as Caesar on an- other occasion, in saying Veni, Vidi, Vinci . . .1 came, I saw, I conquered. But as you stand on the brink of another commencement . . .the end of a venture in faith . . .look down into the valley and see there mankind you must serve. With gratitude for the sacrifices made by your parents, friends and our Alma Mater may you join the ranks of loyal alumni and continue your search for truth, remembering always we'll raise the standards to the sky. Leroy D. Johnson Dean of the College TO THE CLASS OF 1958: What can one man do? This query of despondency has probably been uttered at some time by every man who is sensitively concerned with the succession of a crises in a world that has always been in turmoil. One should not despair. The great achievements of mankind have had their beginning in the creative intelligence and action of The Christ, a Luther, a Socrates, a Newton, an Edison. The history of civilization is replete with illustrations of one man standing for truth and righteousness and decency putting to flight the forces of ignorance and evil.

Our student-teacher relationship has developed be- yond mere formality; we have in the course of four years become friends. And it is always difficult for friends to part. Shakespeare phrased it most eloquenti' when he wrote, Parting is such sweet sorrow. But we part in purely a physical sense only, for the bond of attach- ment between you and Lincoln - and consequently me - is strong enough to survive the distance between us. As you have entered to learn, you will go forth to serve, and I shall glory in your service to your fellowman. It has been a pleasure to work with you these four years. Sincerely yours, H. Alfred Farrell 18 il Herman Wilson President You're our envoy, lead the way and we'll precede Deborah Redd Secretary Of all those arts in which the wise excel Natures' chief masterpiece is writing well.

This is the slogan of our col- lege newspaper. Here at Lincoln the power of the press is felt through- out the community through the efforts of the Lincolnian staff. The Lincolnian brings to the community an accurate report of current events on campus, controversial points of world importance, sports and literary works. The editor-in-chief of the Lincolnian says that college newspapers are a part of the challenge that faces the students of Lincoln Univer- sity and other educational institutions in determining their future. Published monthly, it is not merely a news periodical but an instru- ment of education itself. 39 ♦ ♦ ♦ LION It is Justifiable to see that a mere mention of the names of this small group is but a small reward for their conscentious work.

A small group of students came o answer this call. This group proceeded with ig effort to produce the '56 Lion.

All college campuses should include in their list of organizations some that are based on scholarly achievement and are honorary and national in scope. Lincoln not only has some but has contributed one such organization, Beta Kappa Chi, to this list. It grew from an honorary fraternity at Lincoln University into a national honorary scientific society. The purpose of Beta Kappa Chi is to stimulate and promote interest in scientific education and guidance of undergraduate training in all fields of science and to dedicate a reasonable position of time to graduate study for greater efficiency and better service in the different scientific fields. It also grants a small reward in recognition to those students who have completed meritable three years of scientific study while maintaining better than average grades. OFFICERS President. . . .

Changes in ideas and methods of promotion of such ideas produce needs for changes to accommodate these developments in our lives. Because of our rapid development we have found a need for organiza- tions to suffice these needs. Several such organizations have been created here at Lincoln; the Chem- istry Club is one. It is said new things promote interest and this interest is evident from the progress of the Chemistry Club. Its objective is to allow persons interested in this field a chance to gain some advanced knowledge on the graduate level. One of the requirements of members is a research paper on some phase of chemistry at least once during the school year. It has extended its functions to group and panel discussions for the general interest of the campus community and field trips for its respective members. OFFICERS President. . . .

Another one of our younger and growing organizations is the Lincoln University Biology Club. Last year it had grown so rapidly that its membership had nearly doubled in number and it had surpassed every other club of its kind. This year it is still maintaining the pace that was set last year. It is this club that has produced our doctors before and it is this club that will produce them again. The goals of the Biology Club are to give the students of the biological sciences a more practical knowledge of the science by discussions, lectures by prominent individuals and field trips to various localities.

Like many of the other clubs its organization stemmed from the profound interest of the professors and students of the Social Science Department. Its purpose is to give the social science students additional theoretical and practical knowledge of the social sciences through field trips, lectures and panel discussions. Like other organizations related to courses, its objective is to improve the performance of the students in the field. OFFICERS 45 President. Secretary Advisor. . George Fisher Charles C. D.

Woodson Historical Society was organized at Lincoln University in the autum of 1956. The society is open to all students who are interested in the study of history. Senior members of the society inaugurated a tutorial pro- gram in the freshman history courses which proved to be very successful. Speakers from the surrounding area have addressed the group on local history, and in the future the society hopes to have authorities in the different fields of history address the society and the student body. The society is ably advised by Dr. Thomas Jones. OFFICERS 46 President........... Vice President. . . . Secretary -Treasurer Chapman Bouldin Fletcher Bryant Richard Lee ... POLITICAL SCIENCE CLUB LEFT to RIGHT: T. Spaulding, C. Lundy, H. Mirreh, R. Smith, A. Clarke. The Political Science Club was organized in 1954 by the political science majors under the guidance of Dr. Moses Lukaczer. Its objective was to promote a better understand- ing of various political problems and give the students of the field a chance to gain a more extensive knowledge of the field. The club propagates their aims by sponsoring panel discussions and lectures by prominent speakers. Some of these discussions included such topics as The Need for Successful Integration in the South and Sputnik and its Meaning to You.

ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA 1st ROW, (Left to Right): C. Lundy, D. Schuette, M. Riley, J. Warden. 2nd ROW: N. Scott, C. Collins, H. Wilson, G. Fisher. The Lincoln University Theta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Philosophical Society is the other of the organizations based on scholarly achievement. Designed to promote the ideas of humanity, it brings before the students a series of programs, guest speakers and panel groups from the philosophical sciences. Like Beta Kappa Chi it also grants a small reward in way of recognition to those students who have completed at least twelve hours of philosophy with average grades. The members of this group have been so interested in their field that they have taken it upon themselves to sponsor another similar organization, the Philosophy Club.

PHILOSOPHY CLUB STANDING, (Left to Right): W. Miller, G. Wilson, C. Collins, H. Wilson, C. Sims, H. Mirrch. SEATED: N. Scott, C. Lundy, J. Warden, M. Riley. The Philosophy Club is one of the campus organizations that is so similar to another that a distinction between them is rather difficult. The distinguishing factor between the Philosophy Club and Alpha Kappa Alpha Honorary Philosoph- ical Society, Theta Chapter is only in the requirements for becoming a member. Alpha Kappa Alpha requires high scholarship and the Philosophy Club requires only profound interest. In ideas and presentation its functions are the same as Alpha Kappa Alpha. There is even a stronger bond between the two for the Philosophy Club is sponsored by Alpha Kappa Alpha. An analysis of these two clubs reveals that the study of philosophical sciences is a well developed and well covered field here at Lincoln.

NEWMAN CLUB The Newman Club, a club of Catholic fellowship and culture, is one of Lincoln 's religious organizations. The very existence of the New- man Club illustrates that Lincoln has not declined in its stress on re- ligion as a basic part of a student's background. It is organized to deepen the spiritual and enrich the temporal lives of its members through a balanced program of religious, intellectual and social activities, to assistthe students whenever possible and to weld the Catholic student into a unit. Under the excellent counseling of Mrs. Gladys Renwick, the club has become a foremost instrument for forming beneficial friendship on an interracial plane.

It too is an example of the preservation of the religious heritage at Lin- coln. It is a club of Episcopalian culture and fellowship. It is or- ganized to promote a better understanding of the spiritual aspects of the Episcopalian Church. The meetings consist of discussion periods in which the conversation concerns rituals and all new developments in the Church during the year. The club’s advisor is Father Davis. 51 ... Y. M. C. A. CABINET SEATED, Left to Right: W. Grant, A. Clarke, N. Scott, C. F. Baron, R. Anderson, C. Lundy. STANDING: Nor man Edwards, Mr. E. Wimbish, I. Wootson. The Lincoln University Y-Cabinet is an affiliated branch of the Young Men's Christian Association of the United States. Its purpose is to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and com- munity high standards of Christian character and to promote the cultural and recreational activities of the University. The Y-Cabinet sponsors many activities on campus. The emphasis on cultural activities has reached a new high. This emphasis has come about because of a trend to over-emphasize the Christian character. Among the activities sponsored by the Y-Cabinet are programs for the community that include movies, open house, recitals and col- laborations with colleges in the surrounding area.

STUDENT SENATE LEFT to RIGHT: R. Jay, J. Anderson, R. E. Anderson, H. Wilson, W. Barrick, C. Bouldin, J. M. K. Warden,C. Sims. One of the most prominent organizations on campus is the Student Senate. It is set up as a legislative body that represents the students. An analysis of the Student Senate shows that it is very representative of the student-body since it contains a cross-section of the campus. Moreover, like other organizations the Student Senate sponsors chapel programs, recitals and weekends. This year it was instrumental in obtaining many conveniences for the student-body, such as washing machines, dryers and pencil sharpeners for the various dormitories. Officers President...........

Lincoln is perceptive in seeing the possibility of filling mankind's hopes and longings for world peace through brotherhood. She also understands it must be through a special kind of educa- tion, an education designed to effect understanding based on brotherhood. To do this an in- ternational community would have to be established. In attempting to attain an international community, she has enlisted the enrollment of students from every race, creed and culture. A need for our present International Students Association, whose purpose would be to act as a harmonizing element between the members, was created. The organization has now fulfilled the need and extended its functions not to the original pur- pose alone but into one that includes programs that enhance the community both in various social and cultural aspects.

In the past the Lincoln Players have traveled in the East, presenting productions and building good will for the University. The club successfully presented three one-act plays to a capacity audience in the campus’ Little Theater, and immediately turned its attention to a three-act play entitled, The Prisoners.” A member of both the Intercollegiate Dramatic Association and the American Educational Theater Association, the club extends to every member of the campus the opportunity to take advantage of his natural talents. 55 WHO’S WHO IN AMERICAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES LEFT to RIGHT: J. Warden, W. Barrick, R. Jay, C. Sims. Often through observation it can be readily seen that a few students forget that they are scholars first and fraternity men, athletics and members of other various activities second. The Lincoln men pic- tured above were chosen for one of the highest honors at Lincoln- representatives of Lincoln University in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. These representatives were chosen for exhibiting highest qualities in service, scholarship and high potential future usefulness to society. We, your fellow students, commend you, Warren Barrick. Richard Jay, Coiet Sims, James Warden and Herman Wilson, on your selection to Who’s Who. 56 GLEE CLUB 1st ROW: F. Berry, A. Armstrong, N. Norton, L. Titus, A. Reynolds, j. Jones, R. Taylor, W.

'First of all - Servants of all - We shall transcend all - This is the motto of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the first predominantly Negro Greek letter organization in the world founded at Cornell University in 1906. Nu Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha was also a first, the first fraternity organized on Lincoln's campus, its' charter date November 12, 1912. The aims of Alpha Phi Alpha are inscribed in the Fraternity hymn. These aims are manly deeds, scholar- ship and love for all mankind. Principles and ideas remain only theoretical items of no practical value if no earnest work is devoted to them. This can not be said about the men of Alpha. In the past Nu Chapter has made many outstanding contributions to give these ideas and principles actual practical value. It has given Medallion Awards to an outstanding humanitarians sponsored Alpha Weekends open to the entire campus, sponsored Easter programs for the community youngsters and numerous other events. Recently, Nu Chapter sponsored a recital for the surrounding areas. One really can see the truth in the saying from the prayer, The House of Alpha, GOODWILL IS THE MONARCH OF THIS HOUSE.

Cottingham, F. Bryant, S. Kinsey. Founded on May 24, 1948, Beta Sigma Tau became the first inter- racial, intercultural, and social national fraternity to be established in America. It is impossible to speak of fraternity and brotherhood without speaking of Beta. Since it was founded at Lincoln University on April 7, 1949, it has affected the attitude and standards of all fraternities throughout the United States. The purpose of Beta Sigma Tau is to achieve a well integrated collegiate life without discrimination of any sort. Officers President.........................................

Achievement is the fundamental purpose of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, which was founded January 5. 1911, at Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana. Kappa Alpha Psi now comprises over 200 undergraduate and graduate chapters throughout the United States and boasts of a membership of over 17,000. It strives to obtain for all its members all the benefits which can accrue from participation in a modern college brotherhood. Epsilon Chapter, founded in 1915, has throughout the years held fast to the high ideals of Kappa Alpha Psi. This is exemplified by its sponsorship of an Annual Oratorical Contest for Freshmen and a Guide Right Week Program and by the active interest its members take in all phases of campus life.

PHI BETA SIGMA LEFT to RIGHT: I. Wootson, W. Miller, J. Young, H. Grimes. This organization was founded in 1914 at Howard University, Washington, D. C. The founders were A. Langston Taylor, Leonard F. Morse and Charles I. Brown. The ideas and purposes promulgated first by the founders are embodied in the motto: Culture for Service and Service to Humanity. This principle has become a reality for the Sigma men of today. An example of this can be seen from the roll of distinguished brothers like George Washington Carver, K. N. Nkrumah, Prime Minister of Ghana, and Hulan Jack. Borough President of Manhattan. Besides the emphasis on brotherhood the fraternity presently is engaged in a program that concentrates on aiding small businessmen by instructing them in advertising, marketing, etc. The International Pan-Hellenic Council, to which most college fraternities belong, was initiated by Sigma. In presenting affairs and achieving various goals. Sigma is aided by its legally connected sorority, Zeta Phi Beta.

The advent of Beta Chapter on Lincoln University's campus oc- curred February 13, 1914, in the residence of our fraternity sister, Mrs. Lottie Wilson, who for her loyalty to the cause of Omega, was accepted into the brotherhood as a real member, and is the only woman ever to receive this recognition. Beta Chapter especially felt itself honored this year through the reunion of Sister Wil- son with one of the four founders. Dr. Edgar A. Love, a Methodist bishop. Senior brothers, who three years ago pledged themselves to Omega's four cardinal principles. Scholarship, Manhood, Uplift and perseverance, are Robert Wren, Frede- rick Boulware, James Watson, Addison Taliaferro and Ronald Haley, all of whom look forward to careers in the medical profession. Brother Martin Riley aspires to divinity school; Brother Stanley Jones intends to become an electrical engineer; and Brother Richard Greene will enter the dental profession.

Rather than being a governing body that dictates to the individual fraternities, it is a correlatory body between the fraternities and the administration and an advisory body to the fraternities. The Council is made up of four members from each fraternity: the president, dean of pledges, treasurer and one lay representative. Like other organizations, it sponsors various activities, but it differs in that all of its activities are for Greeks only. Usually included in its activities are Rush Week and a Pan-Hellenic Week end. Officers President .... Secretary . . . . Treasurer . . . .

The lone tally for Lincoln was made by Samuel Essandoh. On October 30 in their second outing the Lions were overwhelmed by Elizabethtown by a score of 6-0. The team could not seem to click to- gether as a unit, something vital for a team to do. Finally, on November 5 against Philadelphia Textile and at home, the Lions won 2 to 1. This time the Lions clicked as a team and the talents of Samuel Essandoh, Harold Taylor, Joseph Renner, and Pompi Ellis led to the victory. All the scoring in this contest came in the first half as the Lions displayed amazing speed and team - work. 69 CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM 1st ROW: Brown, R. Betz, Coach Jones, J. Anderson, W. Bethal. 2nd ROW: M. Riley, D. Rice, G. Neal, H. Wilson. Lincoln's cross-country team opened against St. Joseph's, La Salle, Temple and Haver- ford in early October. The Lions placed third with 86 points. Lincoln defeated Bowie 15-46 on October 12, and Ed Williams, Martin Riley and Norman Campbell placed 1,2, and 3. Lincoln continued her winning ways on October 15 against Church Farm School. The Preps” won the meet with Ed Williams, first; Norman Campbell, third; and Raymond Betz, fourth. West Chester State Teachers' course of 5.2 miles was a little too much for the Lions, and they lost 22-36. On October 26, Lincoln won 18-59 over Howard and Bowie State Teachers College. James Kimani set a new Lincoln record of 19:23 over the old one of 20:12. Lincoln played Elizabethtown College on October 30 and the final score was 26-31. Lincoln also ran against Bainbridge with a score of 18-40. Kimani was pushed to a new meet record of 18:41 and led Lincoln to victory over Cheyney when they visited Lincoln. The last meet was for the C.I.A.A. title at Howard University. Since Cheyney was not a member of the C.I.A.A., the Lions, who placed second to Cheyney, won the C.I.A.A. cross-country championships. Ed Williams was elected captain for next year. 70 BASKETBALL TEAM 1st ROW: G. Williams, B. Smith, G. Jefferson, E. Harris, W. Walker. 2nd ROW: Coach Smith, R. Cato, A. James, T. Ellis, J. Burgette. Led by Captain Ralph Cato, George Williams, better known as Cal and Tae Ellis, this year's team gave the student body something to cheer about. Many times the team showed that it could play winning basketball. While the team, not overly blessed with great shooters or rebounders, it certainly gave all that it had when the chips were down. Capt. Cato proved to be a dapable leader on the court. His cool manner was a driv- ing factor which kept the team together. Cal was always a hustler; he was con- stantly ball-handling and making a nuisance of himself for the opposing team. Tae Ellis, one of our big men, really carried the brunt of the Lincoln attack, constantly in double figures and high man on rebounds. The team was ably helped by some good freshmen notably Edward Harris and Lennic Closson. These two preps pounded through some valuable points for the Varsity five. Coach Robert E. Smith, while not proud of his team’s record, has hopes of fielding a winning team. 71 WRESTLING 1st ROW: W. Thompson, J. Godet, D. Rice, R. Johnson, R. Joseph, L. Tuner. 2nd ROW: J. Lafayette, D. Kendrick, D. Gardner, R. Smith, A. Taliaferro, C. Wilson, C. Dickerson. Led by Captain David Rice, the grapplers of Coach Robert Gardner gave a good account of themselves. Helped immensely by some aggressive freshmen, the team gave great promise for a championship season. Captain Rice was his usual self. A never-say-die guy, he could be seen many hours after classes perfecting some new holds which he had learned. Donald Kendrick, another senior on the squad, was also a very hard worker. Rice and Kendrick were the back bone of a team dominated by freshmen and sopho- mores. The team won all of its matches in the C.I.A.A., but did not do so well outside the Conference. In the championship matches held at Lincoln on February 28 and March 1, the Lincoln Lions placed third. To Captain David Rice, who retained his championship in the 137- pound class, the senior class offers well-earned congratulations. The same go to Donald Kendrick for his active participation on the squad. 72 TRACK TEAM 1st ROW: L. Billups, E. Williams, A. Trappier, C. Dickerson, I. Brown, M. Riley, E. McNeal. 2nd ROW: R. Hall, P. Cupid, R. Brown, A. Powell, L. Bethal, R. Crawford, A. Sherod, Coach Ellis. 73 BASEBALL TEAM 1st ROW: R. Beane, B. Dudley, B. Smith, A. Harris, R. Terry. 2nd ROW: R. Smith, D. Jay, F. Kelly, R. Lati mer, W. Hamm, E. Parker, W. McKelvin, W. King, C. Lee, F. Hargett. Baseball practice has been greatly curtailed by the uncooperativeness of Dame Nature. The weather this spring has been the worst in many years, and consequently the team has had little opportunity to work out-of-doors. Its activities have been confined to the cramped facilities of the Grim Gym. Leading candidates for positions are the returning men, notably led by Captain Arthur Harris at short stop, Richard Lee at first, Billy Ray Smith in left field, and Jonnie Lati- mer at second. The team's pitching seems to have improved, thanks to William Hamm, Bennie Dudley and Richard Lee. With some help from many promising freshmen, the team should win a fair share of its games. 74 Although bad weather hampered early spring practice and played havoc with team morale, the tennis team somehow managed to get organized in time for the first game on its schedule. The team is composed of lettermen from last year's squad, George Williams, Bernard Roebuck, James Burgette and James Watson, and newcomers Charles Collins, Bob Carter, Leonard Lockley, Winston Blackett and Chrispin Renner. George Williams is captain of the team. To date the team has emerged victorious in only one of seven outings. This victory came against Cheyney State Teachers on April 15. Bob Carter and Leonard Lockley were winners in singles, and the first and second doubles team, composed of Roebuck and Burgette and Renner and Blackett respectively. The team has lost to Millersville STC (twice), Rider College, Morgan State (twice) and Howard University. 75 Iff, ... VARSITY CLUB 1st ROW, (Left to Right): J. E. Burgette, J. Anderson, T. Ivey, R.

Success, which is one of the main objectives striven for in campus organizations, was with the Varsity Club this year. President Smith led the members of the club through a profitable Homecoming Festivity. The dance sponsored by the club during the Howard-Lincoln Classic was equally successful. The club’s approximately twenty -five active members gave to Conestoga High School the recognition plaque for winning the Annual High School Track Meet. John Haines was awarded the club’s outstanding freshman athletic trophy and the club's president, Robert G. Smith, proved to be the outstanding senior athlete and was the recipient of this award. Addison Taliaferro, Jesse Anderson, Coiet Sims, ”Tae” Ellis and President Smith were the senior members of the club who received jackets in recognition of their participation in their particular sport and excellent work with the club. Charles Mikell, who was forced to leave school, was also awarded a jacket as a token of appreciation for his meritorious work with the club. The Varsity Club was conscious of the presence of alumni and undertook the responsibility of announcing campus events which were of interest to them. Success was evident here when at the Homecoming and the Howard-Lincoln games the members of the club met alumni who were inspired to come by the in- vitations they received from the Varsity Club. The club has plans for greater and better achievements for the ensuing year. Officers President. . . . Vice President. Secretary. . . . Treasurer. . . . Robert G.

Let me stand with a smile by the side of the road and cheer when the winners go by. When these words were written, the author paid tribute to both winner and loser. Yet, behind every winner and every loser there is one thing in common - the coach. At this point tribute must be paid to the men responsible for the Lincoln teams fielded during the year. They are Manuel Rivero, athletic director and head coach of baseball; Robert Gardner, head coach of football and wrestling; Robert E. Smith, head coach of basketball and track. This year the Athletic Department was gifted with two able assistants in the persons of Robert G. Smith and Theodore Ellis. 77 -3r Siazers , 3.

Many can remember the month of September, 1954, as one in which an ambition, an oft used phrase, became reality. They went to college. The year spent in Lincoln-Ashmun is to be numbered among the most eventful. During the period, we were not only visited by the State police because of the flash flood in the building, but also by the full fury of nature in the form of Hurricane Hazel. Mother Nature, however, was not alone in the un- leashing of relentless destruction. Having become Lincoln Men by means of the traditional Wood Night ceremony, many attained the status of Most Noble Greek while still freshmen in college, an event unprecedented in recent Lincoln history and achieved by methods hence referred to as the Old School. As the second year began, the verdant freshmen emerged with new confidence and assurance. Simultaneously, we became integrated into the student body and began to asset our individuality. We be- gan to think seriously of our futures and participated fully in campus activities and as our junior year commenced and ended, the class of 1958 could point with pride to the many accomplishments of its members in all branches of collegiate endeavors. The climax of our college life was close at hand when we became seniors, the traditional leaders of the campus community. Amid the activity of class organization, we tried, with renewed effort to in- crease our accomplishments and looked with mixed emotions upon our last Homecoming, our last Christmas dinner, and finally our last class and final examination. We leave grateful for all that Lincoln has done for us, and confident in our future as adults in the world community. William Gaskill Class Historian 85 LITERARY PAGE Time Time is always present--never past But we are fading individuals, Time we ever feel but never steal Time is its' own eternal destiny. Martin Riley Lincoln Vale of my boyhood years For sweetest memories dear One day I had to leave thee I wept the parting tear. Here to Lincoln I came The vale was far behind Where first I trained my body But here I'll train my mind. Vale of my formative years! Sweet years of joy and mirth I’ve come to love thee Lincoln Glen of my second birth. Herman Wilson On Graduation We have come far and learned much And it's but a short time before We'll leave. Our tasks were such That we conquered much more Than anyone would ever believe That it was possible for us. A group of adolescents to achieve. Off our heels we’ll shake the college dust But our whole-hearted gratefulness to all Might express our slight bereavement As our unspoken hearts all call To those responsible for our achievement. And every senior knows he's sage When he analyses himself And knows that there's a heritage For all of those that are left. George J. Williams 86 ACKNOWLEDGMENT Will we ever see the day when we are called seniors? This question was on the lips of all of us when we entered Lincoln four years ago. Now everyone is looking back and saying how fast the time has gone by. If we had it to do over, this time we would take this or that. Is that not the way everyone looks back on things when he knows that the end is rapidly approaching. We are all sorry to see these days come to an end but we are excitedly looking to see what the future holds for all of us - this future that we have been hearing about for the past four years. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the many people who helped to make this book possible. Without their help we would not have such an enjoyable book. To the literary editor, George Williams; photography editor. Norman Edwards; sports editor, Addison Taliaferro; and business manager, David Rice, thanks. To those two people who carried the weight of success or failure upon their shoulders, the capable typists, Deborah Redd, associate editor and Warren A.
