We have contributed greatly to every phase of our high school’s life and although for a while some of the lower classmen ranted us for not making more noise, we have been busy all the while and now every one looks with pride to this year’s senior class. It is nice to know that they could not have gotten along without us. At a meeting last Spring, our class elected its officers for this year— Wayne Shrock, President; Max Nayberger, Vice-President; Elsie Duerst, Secretary-Treasurer, and Pebble Brixey, Sergeant-at-Arms. Each of these officers has performed his duties well and we have had many lively meetings—for a Senior’s life is a busy one. The calling out of the Q. N. G., which affected our whole school so much, made a great hole in our class. Our boys responded splendidly, every one who could possibly go joining Company A. We have had a large part in athletics both on the field and in managerships. I he football team without its Senior players would have ceased to be a football team and what could have been done in basketball without Capt. Martin, Eck, Grob and Ernie? Three of the four debaters representing old Lincoln High were Seniors and Earl Norgard and Ernie Arthur as the first editor and manager of the Lincolnian News, put that paper on its feet. Of course, the officers of the A. S. B. are from the Senior class and many things of importance have been done in the Student Body meetings this year. And so we might go on to tell of the “doings” of the Seniors especially in the play where Margaret Hamblin and Ronald Lewis each scored such a hit. But although we have been so busy, we had a fine party some time before the boys left which will be remembered by all who were present and a few others, too. Professor Oberteuffer has been our class advisor and has helped us decide many times. Soon after Christmas we received our pins and rings and in a little while every Senior boasted one or the other. It has been said that you can distinguish a Senior boy by his pin and his mustache and a Senior giri bv her disregard for rules and both, of course, by the dignified way in which they fill their honorable positions. Several of the boys, principally Verne Fudge, Baylis Fanning, Harry Nunn, and hill Swift, have been tireless in their efforts to get the ciass to order some hair tonic. And they’re not bald, either! We all love our old Alma Mater and will think again of our high school days, many times. And we wish her all joy and prosperity for many a long year to come. —A Senior. 28 THE LINCOLNIAN Senior Class Will We, the members of the Senior Class of 1917 of Lincoln High School, do make this our last will and testament.

Editor Business Manager Dramatic and Music Editor Assistant Editor Art Editor Sport Editor Literary Editor Social Editor Joke Editor We, the Staff of the Lincolnian of 1918, wish to thank Miss Wootton for her many helpful suggestions on our Annual. Miss Wootton has shown her ability along all lines, for which we thank her most heartily. ‘ Here’s three cheers for Betsy.” When our Athletic Editor left us for the war we asked Ernest Arthur if he would not assist us and take Duckies place. Ernie is a Senior. He has taken a great deal of interest in our Annual. We extend Ernie herewith a most heartfelt thanks. We also want to thank Thomas Collard for the cartccns which are used in this Annual. Mr. Middleton, one of our Commercial teachers, has been very willing to typewrite our manuscript. For this great help we thank him with a hearty handshake. To Hicks-Chatten Engraving Company goes our thanks for the use of the cut of the flag that is found on the cover of the Lincolnian. We thank Westerfield Stone for their interest taken in our Annual. They gave us a fair deal and we appreciate it. The Editor.

H. S. as Juniors there were about ninety of us. Now there are only forty-two, due to the measley war and the measley measles. But that isn’t saying anything about those of us that are left. You know there’s a sort of individuality among we Juniors that no other class can attain. The Sophomores (their verdency hasn’t worn off yet) have to look up to us and the Seniors canit quite look down ’cause we are pretty nearly as full-fledged as they are. All we lack is the dignity. And then, too, there is the fact that we are so distinguished. We’ve got two pair of twins and the members of our class have more “cases” on than any other class in the school. And then we are the largest class in school. That amounts to something when it comes to voting. It sure takes President Verne Fudge a long time to count the Junior “eyes” and “nose.” ' Somebody said that “handsome is as handsome does,” and I guess maybe perhaps he was right, so just let me tell you what we’ve done. cu know we are sports clear down to our rubber soles, that’s why we are so well represented in athletics and debates and one thing and another. At our first business meeting we elected the following officers: Horace We terfield, president; Lois Wilson, vice-president; Margaret Smith, secretary and treasurer; James Michelbrook, sergeant-at-arms. Next thing was to boost Herman Wood, Duck Holmes, Frank Crawford, Hump Murray, Joe Eckman and Russel Bickford for the football team. And, say, those Juniors did some splendid work on the field. Made the rest of the fellows move pretty lively anyway. And while we re here just let me say that I never went to a game yet where there wasn’t more Junior girls yelling for old M. H. S. than there’s coat-buttons in an arirv. We put Duckie Holmes, Hump Murray and Joe Eckman on the floor for basketball. And when Uncle Sam gave the call to arms Junior, Senior and Sophomore marched side by side under Old Glory, divided into classes under M. H. S.’s roof but united into one under the Stars and Stripes. Hurrah for the Junior Class! Nine rahs for M. H. S. and a yell fur old Mac., but our hats off to our President, our hearts to our F'lag and our service to our Country! 48 THE LINCOLNIAN McMinnville, Oregon 49 Sophomores 1 he.Sophomore class of 1916-17 is one of the most promising classes of young people that has yet been in the high school. This can he easily proved by naming over a few of the student b xly activities in which they have participated and some of the most prominent members: Thomas Collard is the editor of the well-known Lincolnian News and is also a promising cartoonist; the fact of the matter is Reynolds, the cartoonist for the Journal, is beginning to fear for his job. Miss Lola Essley, another well-known member of the Sophs, is one of the yell leaders and seems to give more satisfaction and show more enthusiasm and pep than any of the previous yell leaders. They also took part in the student body play given this last winter. She took her part so well, as the “Little hrenchie,’ that many did not recognize her. The Sophomores have shown their school spirit in several ways. They gave a candy sale during the winter to make some money to pay the expenses for a class party, but on hearing that the foot-ball manager had gone in the hole they instantly turned over the sum of ten dollars, the total amount made, to the football manager and postponed the party. Another date was set for it but the day before a rally was planned for the same date so the party was instantly postponed again so that all might attend the rally and use their voices with the rest. A masquerade party was finally given and was a great success. Some of the queer figures seen there was enough to make you laugh in your sleep. The officers that served through the year were: Owen Callaway, President; Mary Eck-man, Vice President; Violet Henderson, Secretary. Leslie Farnham was chosen as representative from the Sophomores for the Student Body Council and Mr. Middleton was chosen as class advisor. 1 he Sophomores have gone through the year carrying many honors obtained by some of the members and shown their efficiency and ability to put out the Annual next year. They will endeavor to keep it up to the standard of the Juniors of this year and the years past. They have a very efficient editor in their midst.

W. C. A. Reception The first social event of the school year was the reception given hy the Y. W. C. A. girls to the new girls and the lady members of the faculty. Every' one present enjoyed the track meet between the four rival colleges of the east. The girls were divided into four groups according to the color of their hair and then the fun began. Each college would send out its team for the different events and cheered them on by songs and yells. The events were forty-yard dash, javelin throw, broad grin, shot put and relay race. Each event was hotly contested and caused great sport. Later in the evening dainty refreshments were served by the Y. W. C. A. girls. Annual Reception Saturday evening, October 14th, the annual reception for the faculty and new students was given by the student body in the commercial club rooms. The guests were given programs with seven periods to be filled. The first period was the grand march; second, meeting folks, and third, grand opera piano solo, Flora Maloney, violin duet by Mary and Myrtle Ballard, piano solos by Wanda Nelson and Audrey Dielschnei-der; fourth, cheap vaudeville, take-off on various members of the faculty; fifth, childhood days, Virginia reel; sixth, light refreshments were served in the form of pumpkin pie and cider. The table was decorated with a football in the center and a large 7 to o, the result of the afternoon’s game with Columbia. Seventh, good night, ladies. College Girls—M. H. S. Girls The college girls delightfully entertained the high school girls on October 19 on the college grounds. The amusement for the afternoon was in the form of a track meet, the respective sides being Democrats and Republicans. The Democrats won four of the six events. The girls then played a game of indoor baseball in the gymnasium, the high school wining 5 to 3. Wienies and buns were toasted over a huge bon fire, and at 7 the girls departed declaring that they had spent a most enjoyable evening with the college girls. 56 THE LINCOLNIAN Basketball and Football Reception On Friday evening, March 23, 1917, the business men of the town gave our football and basketball teams a banquet at the Hotel Elberton. Nineteen warriors and their fathers w'ere present. Supt. George W. Hug acted as toastmaster and called on the following to respond: Prof. G. Herman Oberteuffer—“New' Gym.’' W. T. Macy—“Business Men and Athletics.” A. F. Arthur—“Bovs Young and Old.” Mr. Meade—“Firemen’s Tournament.” Earl Norgard—“Football.” Jesse Nunn—“Support Given the Boys.” J. B. Mardis—“Transferring B. B. Energy.” Guy Mardis—“Thanking the Business Men.” Harper Jameson—“Pleasure of Coaching the Bovs.” Ernest Arthur—“Basket Ball.” Mr. Eckman—“Bill’s Father.” Mr. W. E. Martin, on account of his bashfulness, begged to be excused from responding. B. B. Reception The basket ball boys and yell leader were given a banquet at the High School on Saturday evening, March 17. The table was decorated in red and white, the M. H. S. colors. In the center of the table was a basket ball and “MAC,” our mascot. The place cards were large red tulips. Guy Mardis and Billy Martin served, while Ducky kept the ictrola going. The boys say that they have found out that Lois Wilson is as good a cook as she is violinist, and that Miss Wootton can do something besides teach XYZ and geometry; also that Ernest Arthur and Doc Jayne are good kitchen mechanics. 58 THE LfHCOLNIAN Music and Dramatic Girl’s Glee Club The Girls Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Holman, has been a marked success this year. Miss Holman is a graduate of the Boston University and is certainly a capable leader. The club has an enrollment of seventeen members and they are as f Hows: First Sopranos: Laurene Benfer, Elsie Durst, Freda Jeffry, Maurie Leedom, Ruby Stroup, Bergitta Stow, Norma Seitters, Jennie Yocom. Second Sopranos: Sarah Christenson, Eda Baxter, Winona Baxter, Pebble Brixy. Altos: Lulu Van Fossen, Violet Henderson, Julia Price, Arta Hayes, Fern Morris. Pianist: Harry Nunn. The girls have practiced for one hour a week throughout the year and while attendance has not been compulsory the girls have responded nobly. The club has appeared several times in assembly and has always greatly plea ed the Student Body. On the evenings of March 20 and 21, the girls helped furnish the ertertainment at the Star Picture Show and were well received and appreciated. They have also made other appearances in public and their director expresses herself as being well pleased with their development. High School Orchestra J he High School Orchestra, while fewer in number than that of In't year, has been an active student body activity. They have had efficient leadership under the direction of Miss .Alderman, who is a graduate of Reed College and the orchestra shows the result of her training. They have made several appearances in public this year. At the beginning of school they played at several receptions given by the Civic Improvement Club. On March 10, they played at the annual banquet given by the Zeta Chi fraternity (college). They also played at the spring opening at Smith Sisson’s store. The hour of practice has been from eight to nine on Thursday morning of every week. While the greatest difficulty has been in getting the members there on time for the practice hour, still it has been enjoyable and beneficial. The orchestra paid for its music by money earned throughout the McMINNVILLE, OREGON 59 year and each member is the proud possessor of an orchestra pin which is in the shape of a harp with M. H. S. across the strings. So at the end of this school year the members of the orchestra as well as the members of the Student Body and those who have heard the orchestra play wish to express their appreciation to Miss Alderman for her year of service. The members of the orchestra are as follows: First violins—Lois Wilson, Myrtle Ballard, Aileen Dielschneider, Mary Ballard. Second violins—Marian Swift, Harold Boyde, Marvin Harshberger. Cello— Violet Henderson. Clarinet—Verne Fudge. Trombone—Delmer Alderman. Piano—Harry Nunn. Drums—Arthur Webber. Director —M iss Aldetman. Corvallis High School Orchestra Entertains On November 26, the Corvallis High School Orchestra, which made a tour through several of the towns of the valley, stopped in McMinnville, and gave an excellent program at the high school. They came in on the afternoon train and were met by several members of our own orchestra, who took them to the hotel and then to the high school. After looking through our school building and the Junior High they returned to the hotel until time for the evening’s program. While the audience which listened to the program was rather small they were appreciative and declared the entertainment very good indeed. After the program the home orchestra again fulfilled their duty as host and entertained the visiting orchestra at Wright’s. The guests left on the morning train. 60 THE LINCOLNIAN The Junior Troubadours The Student Body has been convinced that it is not necessary to send to Hawaii for Hawaiian troubadors and has taken a great deal of pleasure in the music furnished by this band of students with their ukuleles, banjos, guitars and violins. In February, assisted by various members of the Student Body, they gave an interesting entertainment in the study hall for the benefit of the Lincolnian, the skeleton of the Junior Class. Besides the catchy Hawaiian songs sung and player by the entire group an unusual and pretty number was given in the form of a banjo and guitar duet. Billy Wootton, who was with us, delighted us with his clever readings. Zonweiss Rogers favored us with a delightful solo and Miss Dobie charmed (in the usual way) the audience by her recitation. A clever, amusing stunt on Evolution was given and refreshments served by the Junior Class concluded the evening’s fun. On March 16, the troubadors gave an entertainment in Sheridan. They made the trip in autos and while there put on a splendid program at the high school. On the evenings of March 14 and 15 the club gave several numbers at the Star Picture Show. The group has helped to make several other receptions and entertainments a success and Miss Wootton, who has been their director, certainly deserves credit for the work, time and help which she has given them. Those in the group were: Ukuleles—Grace Evans, Velma Farnbam, Mildred Apperson, Cordes Shipley, Mr. Oberteuffer, Margaret Hamblin, Ronald Lewis, Wanda Nelson, Miss Anthony. Violins—Lois Wilson, Aileen Diel-schneider. Guitar—Leonard Wood. Mandolin, Herman Wood. Piano —Audrey Dielschneider. Other members—Jefferson Nelson, Horace Westerfield, Frank Crawford, Weythe Jayne, Ernest Arthur. Director —Miss Wootton. 62 THE LINCOLNIAN One Girl in a Thousand The play centers around the discovery of some stolen bonds in the possession of Dalton Marshall, who has accused Bob Shannon of the theft. Margaret Hamblin’s interpretation of Nan Daily, a tough shop girl and the friend and protector of the accused Shannon was excellent. Ronald Lewis’ portrayal of Pudge the butcher’s boy was a good comedy. His ease on the stage and stage presence steadied the entire cast. Lola hssley in the role of Gaston, the hero’s valet, acted so cleverly that even her own relatives in the audience did not recognize her. With Prof. Oberteuffer as coach and Fred Muhs as business manager, the play was a great success in every way. The cast which so ably presented the comedy is as follows: Mrs. Daily, Nan’s mother Gaston La Tour, Marshall’s valet Dalton Marshall, the cause of it all Katherine Gordon, an heiress Wm. j. Flint Bob Shannon, wrongly accused Nan Dailv, a working girl Davis, Marshall’s confident Pudge, who is soft on Nan Libbie, a friend of Nan A Ruffian, in Marshall’s pay Clarence Percival De Spoof......................James Michelhrook A cop ............................................Theodore Nelson Minister ............................................Harry Nunn The Ham Actors On January 15, a cast chosen from the memhers of the student body presented at the Star Theater a short comedy called “The Iceman.” The members of the cast were Prof. Oberteuffer, Wyeth Jayne, Jessie Jeffrey and Margaret Hamblin (who was better than Mary Pick-ford, in the eyes of one member of the student body). The proceeds of the evening went to defray the expenses of the Tillamook game. 64 THE LINCOLNIAN A Tribute to Our Alma Mater Alma Mater, fostering Mother, May we never know another; Nothing means so much as you, Except the red, the white and blue. We have seen the shining sun-beams, Thro the darkening shadows gleam, We have felt thy warming kindness, O’er us like surges stream. We have seen the glowing sun-set, Simmering on the western line, ’Tis not half so warm and kindly As the soothing love of thine. Ah! the screaming waves of water, On the wildest, maddest sea; Symbolizes, Alma Mater, That love we have for thee. We can feel our school days closing, As Father-Time mows ’way the years, And our hearts are filled with sadness; We are moved too deep for tears. May your rippling waves of kindness, Flow on and on and on, And disturb a mighty sea of love After we are dead and gone. Like the stars that gleam in heaven, Alma Mater, our hearts you thrill! And tho often dark and clouded, Our love is shining still. McMinnville, Oregon 65 The Awakened Rose Bush Poor unattractive Mary Boyd! She pushed the brown hair, that might have been beautiful, off a brow that might have been less puckered by perplexing lines. A blue linen house dress hung limp from shoulders that sagged slightly, and a white apron hung listlessly over the spot where the blue had been worn to drab. Mary’s eyes—Ah, there lay Mary’s charm! Not the deep, dark pools of the romantic Troubadours, nor the violet depths of the southern author, nor yet the clear gray eyes of the western girl; something more beautiful yet were Mary’s eyes. As nearly and perfectly blue as heart could wish, they laughed at you, called to you, dared and blazed at you. Under the shadow of the long, dark lashes they were blue black, yet when they looked straight out at you their darkness changed to the clear crystal blue of the sea, and the light danced and glistened as the morning sunlight on the racing waves. Mary Boyd drew the corners of her little red mouth down in a cynical smile. “I might be old maidish and nice company for the old ladies, but I don’t see why I can't he pretty and nice company for the young men, she thought. “I could arrange my hair more becomingly, and 1 could buy some of those silly thin dresses girls so admire, and 1 could wear silk hosiery and smart high heeled pumps. And I'd wear real stylish little hats and nobby coats and—but the “and” trailed off into silence, for thouLrht had stirred the dormant girlhood in her and sent her pulses throbbing. Before her dressing table Mary took stock of her defects. She bathed her pale face and massaged it into a glowing pink. She let the mass of dull brown hair down, and brushed it into a cloud of shimmering brown inter-woven with golden light. After careful consideration and several attempts she finally arranged it in a modern girlish fashion, neither high nor low, but just right to set off the dainty tilt of nose and chin. In the bottom of her trunk she found a ridiculously thin waist and a flaring sport skirt. More rummaging revealed silk stockings and white sport shoes. Dressing as hastily as possible lest her sudden desire for prettiness and a girlluxul forsake her, she gave one fleeting glance at her mirror and gasped. Could this be the Mary Boyd of an hour ago who stood looking out over her little garden and contemplating a change? “Why, Mary Staten Boyd, you’re just like my rose garden. In the 66 THE LINCOLNIAN winter it’s so dead and dull and dreary, hut when Spring comes it seems as if the angels have touched each budding branch and lefr a full-blown rose there. You're just like a dream I had one night about a little cloud that floated so dark and foreboding across the sky, but when the sun came out it was all turned to silver. Why, you ugly little grub, you’ve turned into a beautiful butterfly, and you're going to fiit around in the sunshine and breathe the sweetest fragrance from the rarest flowers. I think you better flit to the postoffice first and just play you were getting a letter from Him in tead of ponderous old papers from weak-eyed, bald-headed professors. Catching up a soft wide hat she went skipping out the door down the rose bordered path and out through the garden gate straight into the arms of a very handsome young man—no, not straight into his arms, hut so nearly straight that she had to tilt her head at a dangerous angle in order to see the brown eyes that twinkled down at her. “In somewhat of a hurry, aren’t you? asked the owner of the eyes. “I’ve been wondering who lived in the midst of that ro e garden, and now I find that it's the heart of a rose bud just opening into fullness. Is it Spring in your garden, or what makes the rose so lovely?” And then Mary, because she was Mary, told the nice stranger that ever since her father died she had been alone, and because of lack of interest and ambition had lost her girlhood. “The roses gave me an inspiration, she told him, “and spring dawned in my heart just as it does in my garden, waking the sleeping bush into a fragrant rose. “I’m just going out to see whether these village people know a wakened rose bush even if it is just budding, when they see it.” “Doesn’t everyone appreciate spring when it comes?” asked the stranger. “Well for my part,” remarked Mary, shrugging her shoulders, “It makes no difference whether spring comes or goes, I'm going to keep right on blooming and never be a sleeping bush again.” “Um-m-jum-m” said the stranger softly. And Mary said “Um-m-hum-m” softly just a few weeks later, in the shadow of the old stone wall that shut her garden of roses away from worldly eyes, and gossip. Lawrence Benfer, 'i8. McMinnville, Oregon 67 When Caesar Sees Her During the year ioo B. C. in the early days of Rome there were Two leading factions in the city; the Warriors, who were men of physical strength and action as Mardauis Pompey, Meadius Caesar and Crassus Duckae Ja and the Philosophers as Fugibus Cicero, Brutus Moosae and Cassius Schrockalonum. The former faction resided on the Capitolian Hill in Rome, while the latter faction lived in the Forum. Both factions wished to run the government of Rome in their own way for the good of the people. Up to this time the government had been controlled by Mithridates, king of Asia Minor, but on his death Rome’s government was to be placed with one of the leading factions. Shortly after the king’s death, Cleopatra, a very beautiful and charming young lady from Asia Minor came with important papers from her king pertaining to the governing of Rome. News of her arrival spread throughout Rome. Couriers were sent to the Warriors on the hill and others bore the news to the Philosophers in the Forum. Proclamations were sent to the Warriors by the Philosophers in some other way besides actual warfare but the inevitable clash had to some sooner or later. The Philosophers and their forces were lined up 20,000 strong on the common of Rome as the Capitolian Hill and to the scene of battle. Seven long days and seven long nights the battle raged under the terrible heat of a burning sun. The leaders led their men valiantly. Above the din of the clashing steel and the moans of the injured the voice of Mardius Pompey could be heart shouting ‘ Let’s go; let’s go”! While on the other side Fugibus Cicero thundered forth shouting: The meeting will now come to order.” First one side and then the other were the aggressors and defenders by turns that gradually the ranks were thinned on both sides until there was hardly more than four score and ten men left on either side. Then one by one these too, met their death until at last there were but two left to decide who should champion the cause of the people. Alone they fought amid the groans of the dead and dying on this battle field of pain and misery. Alone they fought, neither barely able now to strike a blow, to champion the cause of the people. The warrior now staggered back‘with one arm hanging limp by his side and saturated in blood while the Philosopher fell trembling to the ground with the dent of a battle ax on his helmet and a terrible gash on his face. Both made an attempt to resume the battle, but Plutius Jupiter appeared in 68 THE LINCOLNIAN the heavens and looked with rage upon the bloody battlefield. His rage increased as he looked upon the dead and dying and he spoke to the two-men saying, “men of mind and words and men of muscle and deeds should not engage in battle against one another but they should join forces if they wish to accomplish great deeds.” 1 hen Plutius Jupiter in his rage over the disobeyance of his doctrine caused the lightning and thunder to come and the earth and rocks parted and the ground was broken asunder engulfing the dead and dying as the two remaining foes and as the earth once more took its form there was eternal peace. A Spectator. “Unfurl the Hag; let the winds caress And lift it in rippling loveliness Over all the wild west—world we claim. By cross and sword in Freedom’s name. From the peaks that gleam o’er Alaskan gloom To the isles of palm and the shores of bloom ; From the sacred rock where the seed was sown To the sunset capes where the Hower has blown, O, Flag of the Union, toss and wave! Millions thy freemen—but ne’er a slave! S. L. Simpsom. McMinnville, orf.gon 69 Lincoln High Knights Greetings to cur absent school-mates, Loving thoughts we are wafting to you; The earnest prayer of each heart is “Mizpah,” For our Knights of the Red, White and Blue. Hark! A cry comes over the waters, That must melt the hardest heart, To America’s sons and daughters To “awake and do our part.” “O, Land of Abundance! Land of the free! We are looking, we are praying to you, May the God who gave you liberty (jive you strength and grace to do.” “To declare that wars must cease— That justice and right must abide— That the “iron ha d” our lands must release, And our loved ones be safe at our side. “Our little ones are crying for bread, Our homes are the altars of Mars, Our brave sons are wounded or dead, Our daughters the “spoils of wars.” “O! Land of the generous heart! Land of the helping hand! We are slaves in this terrible mart. Your aid we implore, yea, demand. “Will you close your ears to our cry And think your own safety to cherish? Beware! T he “War God” will not pass you by— Act quickly, or all will perish.” Hist! The bugle call sounds over our land Sounding to farthest shore; Hearts leap response to its command, To protect the flag we all adore. 70 THE LINCOLNIAN From every walk and call in life. From college and from school, Our hoys respond—loyalty is rife, To break the tyrant’s rule. Piercing: the walls of Lincoln High The thrilling bugle notes came, Pledging our boys to win or die In Freedom’s glorious name. No braver act nor nobler deed By knight was ever won, Than when, in this hour of humanity’s need, Our boys enlisted in the Third Oregon. Not for them was the greed of conquest, Nor of fame with its glitter and show, But a loyal obedience to their country’s behest: “When the call comes we re ready to go.” Laurels for our absent schoolmates, Love and honor we offer to you; I phold the Flag where duty awaits, Lincoln High Knights of the Red, White and Blue.

W. C. A. The . W. C. A., although an organization beginning only in the latter part cf la t year, has become an important school activity. The society was organized last year, and a short time before the close of school the following officers were elected for this year: President, Mary Ballard; vice-president, Myrtle Ballard; secretary, Myrle Stater; treasurer, Lois Wilson. These officers were installed at the first meeting this year by Miss Grover of the College. Regular meetings have been held twice a month, on Monday evenings, at the “Little Brown House” on North A street. The meetings have been led by one of our members with discussion of the topic by the girls or an interesting talk by someone of our town. Our enrollment has been about thirty, and Miss Bechen has been our faculty advisor. It is the plan of the girls to send the new president for the coming year to the Y. W. C. A. conference at Seabeck, Washington, this summer, so we have tried various means of earning money. The candy and sandwich sales have been very successful. McMinnville, orec n 75 L. J. MALARKEY ‘‘Tick” is probably the best football coach that McMinnville has ever had. The reason for his success is he was well liked by every man on the team and he put all his strength, will power and knowledge of football into his coaching. ERNEST ARTHUR Ernie secured games with the best teams in the state, and in spite of the heavy expenses—due to all games but one being played on the home field—he succeeded in closing the year with but a small deficit.

LINCOLNIAN BILLY MARTIN To lead a team such as M. H. S. produced last season was to have been Billy’s honor, but owing to a dislocated knee, received the preceding year in piayinv for the High School, he was unable to take active part. GUY MARDIS-“M” “Goob,” the snappiest quarterback that old M. H. S has had in years, was field captain in the absence of Billy Marlin. Just lo hear him call the signals made you want to get out and wallow in the mud for the glory of Mac. This is his last ye- r with us. PIERRE MEAD- “M” Everyone was glad when “Pete” came back from California If he had not had the misfortune to get blood poisoning in his arm he would have been the best half back that ever wore an M. H. S. sweater. As it was, he showed Columbia how a regular half-back should play. HOMER HENNIGEN--“M'’ Homer is a dark horse center. Very few University players can pass any better from the center than our six footer. This is remarkable when taken into consideration that this is his first year at football. McMinnville, Oregon 77 ■ ARCHIE MURRAY—“M” “Hump,” a second Johnny Beckett when it comes to playing tackle, was given the berth of All-Northwest Interscholastic High School tackle. He is less afraid of a stamping horse than he is of a co-ed, as was shown in the Corvallis High game. HERMAN WOOD—“M” The “demon half-back” of Los Angeles High School, is no other than our own “Hi. ’ In the position of full-back he upheld the name and fame of his brother as an athlete. He, too, had an alibi for not being able to wipe all the teams off the gridiron---his ankle went back on him. HAROLD SHIPLEY-“M” “Ship,” Mack’s minature half back, is a big charge of football dynamite done up in a small package. He is exceptionally good at long end runs and always brought the crowd to their feet when returning the punts of his opponents. HOBERT ODELL -“M” Dark-horse Odie developed into one of the best all around ends that ever played interscholastic football. Besides being a heavy hitter, he was a sure tackier and never knew the meaning of fear. 78 THE LINCOLNIAN EARL NORGARD—“M” “Norgy” is a '‘steady old hoss” when it comes to playing football. While not playirg in all the games, he would patiently sit on the bench and wait for the call to go out and fight. FRANK HOLMES—“M” “Ducky” is always“a rearin’and tearin ’ to go.” He is certainly an artist wi h his toe—f r he would send that ball a sailing between the uprights of the goal-post everytime. He displayed his ability of stopping German 42cc bullets when he intercepted one of Newberg’s forward passes. JOSEPH ECKMAN—“M” This is Eck’s third year of M. H. S. football and his playing has won for him a name in the athletic world. He’s so fast the official photographer could not get his picture —anyway he is one of the fastest ends we have ever had. RONALD LEWIS —“M” By the time his opponent gets around Fat’s one-tenth of a ton, it’s too late to get in the play and the game is won. McMinnville, Oregon 79 LEONARD WOOD—“M” Ironhead was one of the best as well as one of the youngest football players that wore the cardinal sweater this year. He was always ready to go in and fill the shoes of Hi, and he did it mighty well too. VERYL JONES—“M” The word “quit” is not in Johnie's vocabulary, at guard his fighting qualities put those of the Kaiser to shame. The more men he was under the better he liked it for then he knew something had stopped. MEARL SNYDER “Snyder” was always lucky when it came to getting black eyes, but he never took the same without granting his opponent a receipt. He was fast, full of fight, and made good. CLIFTON VAN ORSDAL “M” “Van” the “rook quarter-back” surprised many fans in the way he handled the team who were older at the game than he. He was too light and so could not stand the fire. 80 THE LINCOLNIAN Football “Hello, Bill, when did you blow in? Up from Newberg for dope on the game? Come on up to the Bucket of Blood. We’ll give you what you want.” “Bucket of Blood! How do you mean?” “Come on—the hunch’ll show you. You’d better be careful, though—they’re hard hoiled—they may get you before the game.” “Well, it certainly sounds dangerous, but I’m game. Is it some kind of secret society?” “Sure,” and I led the way up the stairs. I knew the boys were all congregate'! as usual, so I thought I’d fool him a little and make him think we were geting into some really dangerous bunch. So I gave three mysterious knocks, and in a guttural tone gave a countersign, “Drip, drip, drip.” By this time Bill really began to wonder where he was going, but just then the door flew open and the hunch was sure enough there. It wasn’t long before we were giving all the information Bill desired. Iron Head began it. “Do you know our coach? Well, if you don’t, he’s some coach. His real name is Leo J. Malarkey, but he is otherwise known as Tick. He arrived on the scene with his head jammed full of football plays. Our dagoes from the street quit work and started to school and our army came home for a little real training under Tick’s supervision. The season started with hard and fast practice. An appeal for recruits was issued in the assembly and it resulted in a squad of about twenty-seven men, with a general average for the season of about twenty-two, enough for scrimmage every night. The hoys were given four plays, and Tick said that if he could beat the Alumni with tho;e he was sure of a successful season. A.nd the Alumni game proved it.” “Well, say,” spoke up Harry Phillips, “do you remember the Columbia game? Although everyone was satisfied with the outcome of the game, we lost one of our best players. Pierre Meade received a slight scratch, which turnd into a serious case of blood poisoning. We won the next game despite that, and let Forest Grove know we were on the map.” Duck, whose eyes were almost popping out with anxiety to talk, could hold back no longer. “Where does Salem come in? Isn’t it about time you got that in somewhere? Talk about a sloppy day! We didn’t •McMTNTWILLE, OREGON SI score until the second quarter, then we plowed through them, and every time one of our back field men hit them we’d knock them a mile.” “Looking for comps, Ducky? But you sure did some kicking that day all right?’ “No, I’m not looking for comps, hut Til tell you what I had some fun spilling those guys.” “Well, what was the real score anyway? You fellows want to remember that we held them o to O.” Bill wanted to stick up for New-herg, even if he was beginnig to sweat at the prospects of the next day. “Oh, we only beat them nineteen to nothing, hut we’ve improved greatly since.” “Well what was wrong with you th°” when Tbany came up’” Bill was still struggling to keep his own. “We were beaten, hut look at our team, physically out of condition, with a new hackfield and some of our stars on the bench.” “Say, Bill, In the Corvallis game Ducky punted sixty-five yards, making the record kick. We have all reacn to believe tuat rn HAi school in the state has a man who can ccme up to this record. But to come down to fartT on It, it was the best game of the season. The boys ;ill fought well, and although the ball was in Corvallis’ territorv all the time, we couldn’t get punch enough to drive it over. The crowd w as all on its toes when Goob Mardis made a long run and rut the hall within ten yards of the goal. Then the quarterback called an end run, which lost ground, but nut the ball in good play for a place kick. We lo?t the goal and the third quarter ended. Corvallis punted and we steadily drove them hack to the twenty yard line and tried another place kick. One of the Corvallis hoys touched the ball, which made it a free-for-all fumble. Our Irish Hump here showed his Montana cattle coirit by rescuing the pigskin from under a horse’s feet, and McMinnville won the day.” “Say, give us a chance to talk, will you? I've been sitting here like a bump all evening. Let me tell Bill about that Vancouver game: I cleared some money on that. We thought besides losing the game, we’d lose some ca h on it. But great enthusiasm was aroused, the whole school woke up, and the Sophomore class turned over the proceeds from their candy sale. We played Friday afternoon, so had a good crowd. At the end of the first half Tick said that we had the game on ice, so we, nut the Yanigans in, and the game proved to be a good signal practice for the New berg game.” By this time Bill’s knees were quaking, and his confidence in his home team was shaken, by comparison with this overwhelming record. 82 THE LINCOLNIAN He no longer offered any remarks, and as soon as Ernest’s How of eloquence stopped we beat a retreat. He had barely disappeared when Tick walked in. “Well, how you fellows feeling before the game?” “I’ve got a hunch we’re going to skin ’em,” and Goob’s chair came down with a bang. “You know I had a dream last night, and this is the way it’s going to happen. Ducky will start the game by kicking clear behind the goal posts. Then we will try it again, and this time Newberg will put the ball in play, and upon failing to make yardage will punt. We’ll probably fumble and give them a chance to score, hut old Hi Woods will stop them before they get the goal. We’ll have to make some slip to give the crowd a little excitement, you know. This will be Newberg’s last chance in the whole game, and from that time on, we’ll drive it through them. I expect they’ll try some of their classy passing, and old Ducky will connect with them and score off it. In the second half I’ll try straight football on them. We'll probably find a weak spot in their line, and run twenty or thirty yards for a couple of touch downs. Luck always breaks with Newberg, but I feel tomorrow is going to be our lucky day.” “Here, Goob,” broke in Tick. “Come off your high horse. If you think this game is going to be a snap, you’d better join the subs on the bench, and let some one in with a level head. You fellows haven’t won this game by a long way. You want to remember that they played Corvallis a close game, and it was merely luck that we won from them. You kids better get to bed and settle down. You fellows have got to scrap tomorrow as you never scrapped before. If Salem contests Albany we’ll have a clear title to the State Championship, and we can’t afford to lose that through over confidence. Well, so long, see you at the train tomorrow.” And the crowd broke up, some going with Tick, and some going to bed in the Bucket of Blood. Goob’s dream proved a reality. The next day told the tale, and we won over Newberg, our old rival, 38 to o. McMinnville, Oregon 83 Basketball PROF. OBERTEUFFER Coach WM.

The first game of the season was played with Salem, and after trimming them on their own floor the team settled down for a week’s hard training before the trip to Tillamook. That trip not only gave the boys a g od time, but also two games to their credit. On Friday morning they boarded the electric to Hillsboro and from there took “the slow train through Arkansas,” through the mountains to Garibaldi. T his part of the trip through the mountains was most enjoyable to the boys accustomed to the valley scenery, and they succeeded in getting many pictures which not only served as mementoes of the occasion, but as valuable material for annual snapshot seekers. After the game the Garibaldi Athletic Club gave a reception, and although they were defeated they treated the boys royally. From Garibaldi they took the auto stage to Tillamook and there had an easy victory over the fisherman lads. The basketball ability shown by the boys in the games pre-vir us to the big ones just before the close of the season put our team n an even basis with Newherg. They passed through various graduations of success beginning with Forest Grove and ending in a climax with the Corvallis game. Our manager scheduled two games with Newberg which were to decide the championship of the state since these games turned out with a victory for each school, a third game was scheduled to be played on cur own floor. Spectators gathered from all over the valley to witness the game, and never before had such a crowd turned out to witness a game in McMinnville. Enthusiasm waxed high; but despite hard and fast playing on our part Newberg succeeded in carrying off the victory and undisputed title to the championship. Great credit shovdd be given our manager for one of the greatest values of the season; in his able marshaling of our financial forces. It is due to him that at the end of the season the balance show-ed a total of over one hundred dollars in our favor. But without the support of the citizens of McMinnville and their enthusiastic interest and attendance at the games this could never have been accomplished. Not only did they show their interest in the high school this way, but they also established a precedent in giving a joint reception to the football and basketball squads. The boys showed their appreciation and felt that on a whole the athletic season had been a marked success. 86 THE LINCOLNIAN 88 THE LINCOLNIAN Girls’ Gymnasium A short time after school began last Fall the board rented the old Flynn Hall, made some repairs and installed a shower-bath to be used as a girls’ gymnasium. Since then classes under the instruction- of Miss Bech have been held each Tuesday and Thursday. Regular gymnastic work, including marching, drills, Swedish work, folk dancing and games have been given. Much interest on the part of the girls was shown, and with a gymnasium properly equipped at the school the M. H. S. could easily rank with schools much greater in size. A keen interest in basket ball was developed among the Junior High girls, and class games were played. A game was also played with the Sheridan girls at Sheridan the only out of town game scheduled. Mac won in this and the return game. There is much good athletic material among the girls and under proper equipment much could be accomplished. Associated Student Body 1 his past year has been a very successful one as far as our Student Body is concerned. We have adopted a new constitution whcih suits our needs ever so much better than the one which we had. The new constitution embodies many of the points of the old constitution, but gave us the Student Council, which is composed of two Seniors, two Juniors and one Sophomore. 1 he duty of this council is to take up all matters of vital interest to the A. S. B. and present them for consideration. Besides this, by the new constitution the Annual becomes a Student Body enterprise of the Junior class. We had a very successful football team, debate team and basketball team. Closed the athletic year with a balance of in the treasury. We have voted $200 toward the gymna- sium, which we hope to have some time in the near future. 1 he officers are: President, Verne Fudge; vice-president, Fred Muhs; secretary, Muriel Paul; treasurer, Harry Nunn; sergeant-at-arms, William Swift. Student Council—Seniors, Earl Norgard, Gladys Wade; Juniors, Myrtle Ballard, Herman Wood; Sophomores, Leslie Farnham. McMinnville, Oregon 89 Company A, 0. N. G. If all of Uncle Sam’s soldiers are like the McMinnville High School students who enlisted in Company A of 3rd Oregon Infantry, the Germans will soon he subdued and will be glad to be at peace with the world. For he has taken all but three of our football team, all but one of our basketball players, our yell leader and most of our officers. When first the call came nineteen men left, but before another week had passed thirty-one boys had answered the call of our nation. The boys who have enlisted are: Billy Martin, football captain and on basketball team; Mearl Snyder, on football team; George Manning, on football team; Homer Hennigen, in football squad; Frank Holmes, Jr., football and basketball player; Archie Murray, football and basketball player; Joseph Eckman, football and basketball player; Pierre Meade, sport editor of Lincolnian News, football and basketball player; Herman Wood, editor of Annual, junior member of Student Council and football player; Wyeth Jayne, member Lincolnian News staff and yell leader; Leonard Wood, on football team; Frank Crawford, football player; Leslie Farnham, Sophomore member of Student Council; Wayne Shrock, president of Senior Class; Verne Fudge, president of Student Body, member Debate team; Baylis Fanning, tennis manager; William Swift, business manager of Lincolnian News, sergeant-at-arms of A. S. B.; Earl Norgard, member of Debate team, football player, senior member of Student Council; Guy Mardis, on football and basketball teams; Hobert Odell, football player; Russel Bickford, football player; James Michelbook, Harold Shirley, Harry Phillips, Ernest Grenfell, Lester Rees, Alford Nolan, William Rogers, Claude Holbrook, and Donald Allen. Besides sending these 30 men to Company A, we have sent one boy to the navy, Harold Skinner, a member of the Sophomore class. We were all proud of our football team and our basketball team and now we are all more than proud of our soldier boys. go THE LINCOLNIAN The Junior High School The Junior High School of McMinnville was built in 1915 at a total cost of $30,000. The plan of the Junior High was worked out bv Superintendent W. R. Rutherford, who had previously studied this type cf school in California, and McMinnville has the proud distinction of having the first Junior High School in the state of Oregon. How popular this type of school has become is evidenced by the fact that Salem, Albany, T he Dalles, Medford, Eugene and Ashland have already taken up the plan and several other cities are contemplating its adoption. I he Junior High School is designed to meet the needs of the boys and girls in early adolescence. It is run on the departmental plan, which allows the selection of teachers who are expert in their particular subjects. School activities suited to the needs of boys and girls of this age are promoted and encouraged. A splendid opportunity is offered for vocational guidance, especially in the reading courses. The aim is not to have pupils select vocations so much, but to give them an idea of the various vocations and to stimulate their thoughts along the lines of a life career. The Junior High School has passed through the experimental stages, and future efforts will be made to improve and strengthen the courses. McMinnville, Oregon 91 MISS ASBURY MRS. HARTMAN PRC F. R. U. MOORE MISS CHALMERS MISS MURRAY MISS ALDERMAN 92 THE LINCOLNIAN McMinnville, Oregon 93 The Ninth Grade In the ninth grade of 1917 are seventy-nine energetic and spirited students. Most of these are from the last year’s eighth grade class but there are many from other places. At our first class meeting we were introduced to our class teacher, Miss Esther E. Chalmers. At this meeting Wendell Wilson was elected Most High Exalted Ruler; Mary Feeley, Vice-Most High Exalted Ruleress, and Earl Anstadt captured the usually feminine office of Grand Keeper of the Records. The basketball pennant was won for the second time by the class. T hose on the team were Floyd Wright, Earl Anstadt, William Showal-ter, Wendell Wilson and Lynn Vernon. Our class is well represented in the student body and has taken an active part in every school activity. 94 THE LINCOLNIAN life McMinnville, Oregon 95 The Eighth Grade The eighth grade of the Junior High School is composed of fifty-eight lively students under the leadership of Miss Vera Asbury. At our first class meeting Ruth Riley was elected president; Vera Landers, vice-jresident; Mildred Westerfield, secretary, and Jack Burle-son, treasurer. On February 23 we held a “much-enjoyed-by-all” party. The three principal features which constituted the evening’s merriment were games, a program and refreshments. We are well represented in all student body activities and athletics and try to do our part in making our Junior High the best in the state. McMinnville, Oregon 97 The Seventh Grade The Seventh Grade opened this year with an enrollment of 86. The Class Officers elected were Lanore Callaway, President; Grant Osborne, Vice President, Naomi Macy, Secretary; Dorothy McGogy, Treasurer. The class held a party in the Junior High School May 11. After playing a few games the refreshments were served. Everyone declared they had a good time. The class was well represented in Athletics as well as in Student Body affairs. Under the supervision of our class teacher, Miss Murray, we hope that we can help to make the Junior High School a success. 98 THE LINCOLNIAN Junior High School A. S. B. At the first of the year the faculty appointed a nominating committee which named three for each office as provided for in the constitution. The following were elected: President, Floyd Wright; vice-president, Issie Jones; secretary, Ella Henry; treasurer, Wendall Wilson; editor of Junior High School Journal, Delmer Alderman; business manager, Earl Anstadt; property clerk, George Beeler; board of auditors, Edna Prickett, Donald Apperson, Mildred Westerfield. The vacancy on the board of auditors caused by Gerald Crawford leaving school was filled by special election by Donald Apperson. F. D. W. Society The Junior High School during the year has enjoyed many social events. The first of these was a reception for the teachers and new students, held Oct. 26, 1916, at the Junior High School. This was given as a Hard Time; Party, and the many unique costumes caused much amusement. A feature of the program was a trial conducted by ninth grade boys, in which the court accused the different members of the faculty of committing various trivial offenses. The serving of refreshments, as usual, proved to be the most intere;ting event of the evening, as the committee was very generous in serving the ice cream and cake. The next event was the yearly ninth grade class party, given at the school January 13, 1917. The evening opened with a program, in which many took part. One of the numbers was a song, entitled “Captain Jinks,” given by four of the prominent class students. After the program games were played in the corridor, and last but not least was the refreshments. On January 21, 1917, the Girls’ Glee Club gave their party in the Presbyterian Church. Each member had the pleasure of inviting a young gentleman friend. A delightful program was given, then games were played. But the most interesting part of the evening was spent in hypnotizing the guests. After this a dainty lunch was served. The next big event was the eighth grade party, which was a great success. During the program a surprise took place, a song by a ninth grader. This song caused much excitement among our eighth grade girls for quite a time. Great fun was found in the games, which did not last as long as some would have liked. Each member of the class did their best to make the evening an enjoyable one to remember. McMinnville, Oregon 99 HAROLD SHIPLEY, Forward and Captain; JERALD CRAWFORD, Guard; GARLAND HAYES, Forward; HOBERT TRENT, Guard; GEORGE BE1LER, Guard; HARLEY LOONEY, Forward; RAY McCART, Center. 100 THE LINCOLNIAN Athletics At the beginning of the school year it was decided that the Junior High School would not put out a football team but that all the boys would be encouraged to try out for the first team. This resulted in two full teams for the Senior High School. The second team, which was largely composed of Junior High School students, were rewarded for their faithfulness by a trip to Hillsboro where they defeated the Hillsboro High School 39 to 7. Homer Hennagin, Leonard Wood and Harold Shipley made their letter with the first team. The following boys won a place on the second team: Joe Loop, Darrel Hutchens, Floyd Wright, Clifford Ringle, Ray McCart, Frank Essley, Wendell Wilson, Gerald Crawford. The basketball season was a brilliant success. The team met a number of the smaller four-year high schools of neighboring cities for a total of eight games, six of which resulted in wins for the J. H. S. The percentage of games won is better than last year’s, being 7 SO for the season just closed and 666 for last year. T he games played, with their scores are as follows: Junior High 35, Amity High 25; Junior High 45, Dundee 25; Junior High 17, Dayton 21 ; Junior High 25, Tigard 16; Junior High 23, Amity 12; Junior High 16, Sheridan 19; Junior High 30, Sheridan 17; Junior High 13, Sheridan 11. This makes a total of 199 for the Junior High School to 146 for opponents. The individual players have made the following scores: McCart, 46; Looney, 37; Shipley, 76; Trent, 20; Hayes, 18; Beeler, 2. Of this year’s team only Beeler and McCart will be with us next year, so the Junior High will have to develop players from the present seventh and eighth grade teams to fill their places. Here is to a good team next year. The ninth grade won the class pennant by winning two games out of three. The spring athletics will consist of tennis, volley ball, playground ball, and probably baseball. Four teams of playground ball have been chosen with the following boys for captains: Floyd Wright, Lynn Vernon, William Showalter, and Hobert Trent. These teams will play a series of games for a pennant. 102 THE LINCOLNIAN Calendar September 18. School begins and everybody is happy. September 27. First A. S. B. meeting. October 2. Annual Y. W. C.
