Page 26 THE LINCOLNIAN juniors This year’s graduating class is—and has been from its freshman year—the largest class in McMinnville High School. Larger by about twenty members than any preceding class of graduates, our number will probably not be equalled for several years to come. Our efforts throughout our scholastic career have been for progressiveness, such as would tend to keep the “Old Mac” spirit alive. In our last year our spirit of aggressiveness has reached a culminating point in the production of the first of what we hope will become an established annual event— that is— the Senior play. Earlier in the year our “be-differ-ent” spirit expressed itself in a Winter “Flunk Day,” which caused a great furor among the lower classes. In the student body activities we have always felt a live interest. Several members of the ’16 class have won recognition as histrionic artists, having appeared in school plays on several occasions. Athletically we have been indispensable, especially in the last year, two of our number having won their letters in each of the three recognized sports of the school. Scholastically our record will bear comparison with than of any class. An examination of grade cards will reveal some luminaries that are remarkable in their merit. As this is the first year that grades for the entire High School course aie to be considered in the choice of Valedictorian and Saluta-torian, the grades of these two will be an accurate gauge as to the general class standing. Our president, Miss Margaret Ramsey, has been ever assiduous in her efforts to promote the common interests of this distinguished body, but our sense of class responsibility has not yet been developed to the point where class meetings become strictly of a parliamentary order.
