24 THE LINCOLNIAN five out of the first eight on the first basketball team. This is the way our boys have “done things” ever since our class entered High School. Our class now numbers forty-six; tho we have gained several each year, a great many have left us, some lost by the way, some to enter Medical Schools, some to Schools of Osteopathy, some to O. A. C., and some have launched into the unknown sea of matrimony. The Seniors wish to express their appreciation to the faculty, for the help and encouragement given them thruout the four years of their High School life. L. M. ’14.

Altho between German and Latin, Geometry and Physics, our time was well filled, still we found the opportunity to enjoy ourselves at the various parties, to take our annual trip to the Lafayette Locks, and also to entertain the Seniors at a reception at the High School building, just before they took their departure into the world. Seniors:—As soon as we got partially used to our high position and were able to walk around without hitting our heads on the ceiling, we met and elected as our Senior officers, President, Ellis Van Atta, Vice-President, Walter Arthur, Secretary-Treasurer, Maude Brixey, and Imperious, Theo. Duncan. On account of our dignity and serious mindedness we did not waste much time frivolously but spent several social evenings together during the year. The second semester the class met and unanimously reelected the officers of the previous semester. The present Senior class has always been well represented in all phases of school life. When the A. S B. was first organized, our class, (then Sophomores) was well represented among the officers by LaVersa McCoskey, President, Helen Cunningham, (then a Freshman but since added to our ranks) Secretary, and Glen Macy as Treasurer. The next year found us again holding the principal offices, with Walter Corpron, President, Glen Macy, Treasurer, and Walter White, Sergeant-at-arms; while this year Glen Macy was elected President, William Snyder, Vice-President, and Maude McGogy, Secretary, but the President and Secretary decided to enter the School of Osteopathy at Los Angeles, so the Vice-President took the chair and Helen Cunningham was elected Secretary. Nor has the class of 1914 lacked representatives on the athletic fields. During our first year there were no interclass contests because of a lack of students to take part; yet all the school teams were made up of members of our Freshmen class with the exception of a few men. The second year conditions were about the same but our Sophomore baseball team was victorious over the rest of the school. While we were Juniors we succeeded in winning all events on Field Day (when the Freshmen were served soup.) We did not go in for much else because all our best men were playing on the first teams and were thus ruled out of interclass contests. In our Senior year we tied for championship in football, but lost out in basketball. We had eleven men out of the eighteen on the first football team, and

McMinnville, Oregon 25 Senior jingles The kindest heart in all the class is “Sid Who even mumps gave to his lass. Old “Bill” Snyder is a merry old soul; With his little wooden hammer he raps control. “Muckle” Ford is good on debate; His assembly speeches are something great. Oh, Loche Mardis, you’re good at guessing, For why the grades when you have no lesson? In size “Snud” Van Atta is almost O (Naught); But yet this size gives food for thought. Oh, a dainty little lady Is our charming Miss McCrady. We know Ruby Miller is not so small; For, zounds! she takes up nearly half the hall. Floyd Osborne, boy, you are a shark On singing Latin like a lark. (?) Dale Porter is the tallest and the nicest boy in class, Oh, Dale, 'tis pity, pity, that you are such an-lobster Frank Fox’s ways are mild,—suggest the blushing maid; And when the girls come near, away you see Frank fade. Miss Dada Rhodes: Her eyes are blue, she has a winning smile; She’ll get your heart yet, my boy, just you wait awhile. Evelyn Macy holds a warm place in our hearts and drives away dull care, I s’pose, Miss Evelyn, it is because you keep yourself so spare. Oh, Misses Antrim, Duncan, Short, you’ll each a teacher be, To pound the kids and make ’em howl; to make ’em dance with glee.
