Gradually it attracted his attention. and he sought to discover the cause. Some years later James Watt invented the steam-engine, propelled by the same force that had caused the cover to act so peculi'arly. Watt gained his fame on a discovery which he made dur- ing his leisure moments. The foundation of Lincolnts great: . ness is due to the using up of his spare time. N apolean dream- ed hi3 triumphs and fought his battles many years before he took over the French government. It seems only fitting and proper at this time. when vaca- tion days are so near, that we should take lessons from these great men and make use of our leisure moments. Acquire a hobby, or interest yourself in some subject and master it dur- ing your spare time. We cannot all hope to win fame and fortune by mere day dreaming. But we may hope that, when the time comes, that extra bit of strength may boost us a notch above our neigh- bor on the ladder of success. Leisure moments are golden. hJ.

Or means of storing treasure? Are they eager for a steeper hill to climb? Vs'ill they face the tasks of life and gain success? Will they stop at words of praise or flatt'ring jest? Are they going to play the cheat When an easy chance they meet? ' Will they climb to fame or fall to carelessness? The Senim' class is strong and full of pep; They will face the world with grit. and keep in step; Tlmylve in store a lot of pluck, For success cmmea not hy luck; They have courage hacking them besides their hope.

THE SUTHERLAND 5 THE EARLY LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN tAn-mvterf Hommbie Mention in the Lincoln Essay Contest; In a miserable. forlorn, cmdely-huilt log- cabin. on a cold day in the early part of the last century, a little boy was born. This hovel stood on the banks of Nolin Creek in Kentucky, then called Hardin County. and now known as La Rue. N 0 one would have thought that such a little, tender, new- born babe could live, grow, and thrive in such a horrible place as this miserable hut. Great cracks between the rustic logs. where sleet, snow, rain. and Wind carhe in at pleasure, could be plainly seen. The roof was so poorly-built that at night the stars peeped down at the little household. Even though a great fire roared in the crudelyemade fire-place, I- wonder whether or not we could stand the cold that surrounded the Lincoln family on the. night of the twelfth of February, 1809. This baby. a fine, healthy child, was named Abraham. The father of this little man was Thomas Lincoln, born in 1778. His ancestors came from England to Kentucky. Later they removed to Berks County, Penn. The mother's maiden name was Nancy Hanks. Abraham had a brother who died in childhood; he also had a sister, older than himself. called Nancy. Nancy loved her little brother very much, and was very happy when her mother let her rock the little child in the crude cradle. As he grew older his sister stayed patiently by his side and taught him to walk and talk. Little she realized that in helping rear this little brother, she was not only helping her mother but all the people of the United States. At the age of seven, Abehs sehooling commencedr-not in a school such as we attend. with fine hooks and all the com- forts of life , but in a miserable cabin. His books were old. tattered and torn. and his teacher knew little about reading and writing. Very few children went to school at this time. The par- ents, not being educated, did not think it necessary for their children to know any more than they did. Mr. and Mrs. Lin- coln were better educated than most of her neighbors and thought it best for their children to go to school. Abe was very eager to ieam to read. On Sundays Abra- ham's mother read the stories he loved best from the Bible. He once resolved to learn to read them as his mother did. Likewise. he loved the stories told by his father, to the family gathered around the fire-place on a cold night, about 8: THE S U TH ERLA N1; his grandfather and the Indians and his adventures with them. The story Little Abe liked best, perhaps, was the story about his grandfatherls perilous journey to Kentucky. Mr. Lincoln had become uneasy in Kentucky because it was a slave state, and it was considered a disgrace for anyone to work for his living. Therefore. he decided to try to sell his little farm. It wasnlt very easy to get a purchaser for such a small and poor estate. However, after a time a man came along- who said he would buy it. The purchaser had a little money. but he said he would give Mr. Lincoln ten barrels of whiskey, which was worth twenty-eight dollars a barrel, and twenty dollars in cash. Tom Lincoln was not entirely satis- iied with the proposition but decided that the sooner he got into another state the better it would be for him. But ten barrels of whiskey could not be carried in a pocket. Mr. Lincoln was not a drinking man arid he could not sell the liquor where he waei so, if he decided to accept the proposi- tion. he would have to provide a way of carrying the barrels with him. It was a difficult question to decide how he would carry his property over the roadless country. After talking the matter over with his wife, he decided to accept the man's offer of the barrels of whiskey and tWenty dollars cash. As I have already said the cabin of Mr. Lincoln was on the bank of the river. he, therefore. decided to build a flat-hoat and carry his goods down the river on it. Although Abe was but eight years old he was a great help to his father in mking the boat and perparing to leave Kentucky. The boateloaded with ten barrels of whiskey, a few household goods and some carpenterle tools-Thomas Lin- coln pushed into the water. alone. He thought it best to leave his family at home until he found a suitable place for them to we. It was very fortunate that the family was left at home. because when Mr. Lincoln reached the Ohio River his boat was up-set and his cargo and he were thrown into the water. Very luckily some men were near by and rescued him and some of his freight, but most of it was swept away. Thomas Lincoln was not yet discouraged; he started on his way down to Thontson's Ferry, and landed safely in In- diana. There he succeeded in getting a man to guide him into the inner part of the unsettled country. Mr. Lincolnls place of destination was Spencer County. It was very hard to reach this place as a road had to be cut the entire distance. After enduring eighteen miles of difficult walking, the place where the Lincoln Homestead was to be was finally THE SUTHERLAND 7 reached. Having left his goods with neighbors, he started back on foot for his family. His family was waiting and ready to start. It was quite a sight to see the Lincoln family start out for their new home. Mrs. Lincoln and Nancy rode on one horse. while Abe and his father had a horse each. The horses were so loaded down with bundles that only their heads and tails could be seen. Little space was left for the rider. For seven days they proceeded in this manner. stopping only when too tired to go on. At night they all lay on one blanket and covered up. with another. When the end of the seven days came, Mr. Lincoln told them they had reached their new home. There was no house on the spot. just a,clump of trees and brush. The family slept on the ground that night but early next morning Mr. Lincoln told Abe that he must help. He set to work chopping away merrily. Later in the day a neighbor who lived two miles away came to help, and brought good things for dinner. All hands worked hard. Mrs. Lincoln lend- ing her aid when possible. When night fell a rough: shack had been erected. Although there were only three sides to the house. the family lived in it for a year. At the end of this time they had another better made hut built. There was but one mom and no floor to this building. When whiter came again, Abe went back to his studying, with his mother for a teacher. Before spring came. they had mastered their whole library. which consisted of three booksa the Bible, the Cathechism, and the 01d spelling book. Abe could not study all the time. He had to help his father chop wood. and he practised shooting. As at that time - there were no butchers' carts, if a piece of meat was wanted, someone had to go out and shoot an animal from which they could get meat to eat. They lived happily in this manner until the day Abe's mother was taken iii. Evelyone did all that was possible for her. One day she called her son to her bedside and told him to remember all the things she had taught him. and to be a good boy. It nearly broke Abeis heart to hear his mother say this and he did all he could to bring her back to good health. After a few weeks of suffering. however. his mother died. Poor little Abe cried a long time. Prayers were said over the body and then it was buried 8 THE SUTHERLAND under a beautiful tree. This was all the funeral service there was as there was no minister for miles around. Abe grieved sorely for his mother, who was so dear to him. His father tried to comfort him by saying he would get him another book. But books were hard to obtain at that time and it was quite a while before his father succeeded in securing him a book. Soon a young man, who knew how to write, moved into the vicinity and offered to teach Abe. The offer was accepted at once. He wrote all over the stools. tables and even the trunks of trees. One day he wmte his name on the ground in his father's corn field. Little did he realize that some day that name would be written in gold in every state in the Union and that it would glitter with brightness as the world stood. Abe Lincoln learned to write so well that he wrote a letter to a minister asking him to come and preach a sermon over his mother's grave. When' people learned that Abe could write, many had him write letters for them. About one year after the death of his first wife, Thomas Lincoln married again. Abe loved his new mother and in re- turn he gained her love. She, too, was very eager to have Abe go to school. At this time a man named Mr. Crawford moved into this vicinity, and opened a school. Mrs. Lincoln dressed Abe up and sent him to school. Mr. Crawford learned to love Abe a great deal. One reason why he liked him so well was because he was honest. Many times he was tried but always found to be absolutely truthful. Abraham Lincoln could memorize very easily. Sometimes after hearing a sermon preached he would preach nearly the exact words to his school mates. Among these chums he was ' thought of as the peaoevmaker. He would always settle an argument and make peace among his friends. The whole of Abralhamls education amounted to about one year. His parents wanted him to go to school, but they were poor and needed him at home. After he left school he split logs quite awhile. One day a man came and offered Abe a position at ten dollars a week, on a flat-boat. They, Abe and the man's son. were to take the boat down the river and stop at stores with the goods. Abe accepted the offer and the two boys went on their journey. They had many queer experiences. The trip, on the whole, was very successful. Mr. Lincoln again had the moving fever. There were two TH E S U TH ERLAND 9 other families that wanted to move farther west, too. So they all set out. At last they came to the County of Macon; it was in this vicinity they decided to live. Abe and his father built a house on their ten acres of land. Splitting rails to build a fence around the ten acres of land was the great task Abe ac- complished. These were the t'celebrated rails we have heard so much about. Everyone has heard the story of the rest of Lincoln's life. But stop and think,u-uthink of living the early life he did and then becoming the President of the United States. wAnna Williams, '29. LINCOLN, THE EMANCIPATOR iA-im-rded First Prize in the Lined?! Essay Canteen When a young man, Lincoln made a voyage down the great Mississippi to New Orleans where he first saw a public auction of slaves. To the big-hearted, kindly, fellow-loving youth this scene never ceased to be hateful. It pierced his very soul, like a sword cleaving silk, and there left an im- pression, a resolution that if it should ever enter his power to do so, he would free their toils of slavery and oppression, giving them citizenship and freedom. When he came back from this voyage to his new home in Iiiinois he was simply a youth ambitious of an honorable part in the life of the young country, of which he was so just- ly proud. He regarded the liberation of the slaves, which will always be associated with his name, as a part of a larger work, the restoration of his country to its earliest and noblest traditions. Along With Lincoln's self-training, an ambition, Which showed itself early and which was from the first a clean and high ambition. enabled him to work himself up step by step, so that at the age of twenty-five he entered political life. which for him was the door to the Presidency of the great- est republic of the worldi When Lincoln finally reached his hard-fought-for goal. he was faced by two of the biggest issues that ever confronted any former President of the United States. These two great issues were-firet, the preservation of the Union, by rein- corporating the seceded states; and. second, the emancipation of the slaves by peaceful means if possible 01-, if necessary. by forcibly taking them from their owners and making them flee citizens of the United States. 10 THE SUTHERLAND Lincoln did not plunge headlong and blindly into the great task that was before him, because he knew it was a danger- ous one, and realized that theutmost care would have to be taken in order successfully to execute his plans, the results of which would mean so much to a nation and a people. At first Lincoln investigated and studied conditions look- ing at the question from every possible angle-planning, plan- ning as to which way to go about it. Lincoln perhaps was the only American of his time that was sincerely interested in the negroes. He wanted not merely to free the slaves but also to raise them up to a higher standard of living, to educate and drag them out of the rut they had been living in for centuries. At the same time, his love for the slaves did not quench that for the slave owners. He realized their position better than did all the soap box orators , who preached fiery and eloquent addresses as to just how. why, and when shiver;r should be abolished. He realized that if the United States was ever again to be consolidated into one Union any malice or hatred between people living in the different parts of it would make it a very weak and unstable one. His view in this matter is brought out very plainly in a letter which he wrote to a Imlisiana friend in which he said. I shall do nothing in malice; what I deal with is too vast for malicious dealing. The North itself was somewhat divided as to the slave question. In the states farther north there were the extreme republicans and liberators who insisted that the slaves be freed immediately and that if it were not done now another chance like this would never come. Among the Northern border states there were four that were slave states which were fighting for the preservation of the Union. but not to free the negroes. Any hasty action on Lincoln's part would probably have caused a split among the Northern states which might have eventually led to the secession of the Union slave states. ' Lincoln had to reconnoiter his position. He had to be absolutely sure that everything was ready before making any important move. He would have to make it after he had found out whether or not the border states were true enough to the Union, not only to preserve it but also to uphold and enforce its laws. Another matter that had to be taken into consideration was the time when the proclamation should be issued. If it came after a defeat or when the Union was hard put . the proclamation would seem like a. cry of distress instead of a bugle note of liberty. The danger of division in the North THE SUTHERLAND 11' would have been increased and its good effect on the rest of the world would have been somewhat diminished. Conse- quently when Lincoln felt he was well-acquainted with the whole matter he waited for a Northern victory in the wake of which he would be able to issue the Emancipation Proclama- tion. Lincolr?s critics, who had been complaining about Lincolnle policy of gradual emancipation on one side and opposing eman- cipation on the other, were growing more troublesome as time wore on. He had to repress publicly a keen Republican gen- eral who had captured land in South Carolina and declared all the slaves in South Carolina, Georgia. and Florida free. Some bills that were to be passed concerning the confiscation of rebel property were vetoed and prohibited by the President from passing into a law until certain harsh features in them had been omitted. Congresemen grumbled at his respect for the rights of the rebels, whose porpetty had been taken, and sneered about having to ascertain the Royal pleasure before they could legislate . An open letter written by Horace Greeley- to Lincoln complained of his supposed bias for slavery. In an answer to this letter Lincoln explained his views on slavery in a now- famous letter which contains these well-known words: My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union. If I could save the Union without freeing the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone. I would do that. In answer to a deputation of Churohmen from Chicago who commanded him in God's name to mancipate the slaves he said, What good would a proclamation of emancipation from me do especially as we are now situated? I do not want to issue a document that the whole world Will see must neces- sarily be inoperative like the 'Pope's Bull against the Comet'. While to the upholders of slavery he plainly stated that he wouldnlt leave an available card unplayed in trying to liberate the slaves. These answers to his fellow citizens showed Lin- colnts true mind. Finally, Lincoln's chance to issue the Emancipation Proc- lamation came after two long years of waiting, with the battle of Outietam, Shortly after the battle the Emancipation Proclamation was issued declaring all slaves free whose own- are were still fighting the United States Government on Jan- uary 1, 1863. The Proclamation went into effect January last and all the slaves in the territory Were given their freedom. 1-; THE SUT-HERLAND Thousands of slaves now left the South and joined the North- em forces, thus providing an important factor not only in an earlier victory for the North but also in securing peace. People now began to see that all Lincoln had done had been for the good of the Union and the people as a whole. The politicians, both Democratic and Republican. saw where their views had been wrong and that Lincaln had beeh right nut only in freeing the slaves but also in gradual emancipation. After the war. the Northern border states declared the slaves within their boundaries free, thus freeing the last slaves in the United States and finishing Lineoln's great work. At last he had redeemed his boyhood pledge that if ever it wouid enter intc his power to help the slaves he would do it. The blow was well timed, directed by the full force of his sage acity and never hindered by personal ambition. As the years have rolled by. it has become apparent that Abraham Lincoln's service to his country and humanity were not limited to his life-time. for the memory of these achieve- ments continues as strong and inspiring to this generation as to the preceding. -Bernard McGarry '29.

I think every- one will agree with me when I say that wonderful sportsman- ship was shown on the part of everyone concemed. Other activities have come in to take up 0111' interest. A few weeks ago on Saturday, April 213t, the Sophomores, J un- iors. and Seniors hiked to Mr. Davis' farm. It was a splendid hike! Mr. Sun put up his golden umbrella for us! When we reached our destination, we rested our weary bones for awhile. Then-hurray forsupper-pancakes! syrup! Yum, Yum! hot chocolate! bacon! It certainly was good. Mr. Davis was our ' host. Thmqishes. The Sophomores had to do them. After supper, we gathered around the fireplace, sang songs, and ate 4 uh... THE S U TKERLAND 15 toasted marshmallows. A Virginia reel was entered into by all just before we began our ride home. Real fun! Many thanks to Mr. Davis. We certainly appreciate it. The mem- ory of that good time will long remain with us Seniors. Other hikes were planned-one to the reservoir and one to West niountaiuebut the weather proved to be our Waterloo in carrying them out. What then? Tennis! Everyone is doing fine. The Jun- iors are in the court from dawn until dark. They're trying their best to harvest the tennis tournament prizes. Hope you do, J uniors. Good luck to you!

BEETLE OSCARSON BILU' Bill's the only one in the'class that has had a case of swell- ed head. and that kept him from school for two weeks. Course we must acknowledge that the mumps does seriously incon- venience one's poise. but We missed his company at one time and so we jumped at the chance to dig him for it. OIVA KALLIO 0- K. O. K. is the younger of the Kalljo Bros. In the Senior Play he sure cut a swell figure as Merridew with his full dress suit. 22 THE SUTHERLAND I-Iets a Commercial student of note, fast at dictation and on the typewriter. tmaybe elsewhereJ. He must have eaten some Mexman Jumplng beans for he certainly did jump up some in height lately. HAROLD PETERSON PETE If you want to get somewhere in the lower corridor about 11:45 on Winter-momings. stick behind Pete and you'll get there. Coanmetfcml Math is the only appointment Pete has a hard time keepmg on the dot. Football is his long suit and many a foe has wished he hadn't been where he was in some of the livelier games. MORRIS FAIGNANT ttOLB LADY I suppose you know Old Lady. Hats the 13-letter man from North Street, who is very athletically inclined. The High School will lose a lot of bulk when he graduates. Dancing is his ofT-the-field pastime, and no wonder he can take the length of the Assembly hall in two hops. GEORGE ILLINSKI ILINIKI Hinjki is the boy himself when it comes to Commercial subjects or baseball. He put in his 99c worth in helping the '28 class get the titles of smiling freshies, grinning sophs. laughing juniors. and roaring seniors. May 12 meant more to him than an important baseball game. PAUL JOHNSON JOHNNY Johnson is our pitcher in more ways than one. tpictureb. Hi3 speed is noted in three places: on the diamond, at the type- writer.-g'uess the third for yourself. He's always got that grin sunning up his face. His favorite periods were the third in the morning and the first in the afternoon. CECILE LADABOUCHE TUIJY Cecile, our basketball captain. takes a great interest in outside teams and Outside players. When we ask her why. she only blushes; but never mind, Tudy. Pittsford is a fine old town. even though the part you are interested in boasts only of Fords. ROBERT STEELE ' CURLY Steele and his Buick are two things essential for a good time at a class social out of town. From appearances one would think that he is satisfied with being mere chauffeur, but who knows? Curlyts a lucky driver. Why? Cause he's left- handed. NELLIE CURTIS CURT To us. who know her. Nellie isn't quite as shy as she ap- THE SUTHERLAND 23 peats to those who don't. Everyone thinks you're a mannhater but we disagree. We don't know the very latest. but some of the last reports indicated her preference to Rutland. Nellie has no trouble in getting her lessons done on time. BEETLE BORJESSON BERT Bert doesn't like school for two reasons. One is that they won't let him chew gum in peace; the other is a natural aver- sion to school. He's a dandy manager of baseball. What he does see in Sophomore girls. I don't know. Don't ever try to be serious around him. ARNOLD ERICKSON SCO'RP Erickson is one of the big boys of the class, physically anyway. His wise cracks always let in some humor into the gloomytt life in school. The Co-operative store loses-a lot of trade by having him at the counters. He's the boy for tak- ing things easy. ROBERT HAYES CRACKER Heres the statesman of the class. President for five years isntt such a bad record. He's glad he doesn't live in the good old 'days of spelling bees. tso do D. He has a hard time keeping away from the vicinity of the school. Crackerts the craftsman of the class, always tinkering with tools. h WILLIAM VARGA WILLIE Varga lives on Terrace Hill. but that doesn't get him any- where. He didn't show enough of his artistic talent on the Sutherland staff this year to suit us. We all wondered what the cause of his wearing specs was, but I guess his eyesight failed- ALICE JOHNSON PUSSY t'Oh gee whiz. gosh darn it, I haven't done my history! This and many other similar exclamations are heard from Alice ' every day. Alice's love for history is widely known. Although she is a great trial for the teachers P. H. S. will miss Alice and her cheerful prattle. JOSEPH LISTZWAN JOE Joe's the comedian of the diamond. Remember the Rut- land game when he tried to steal from first to third. direct. and the Fair Haven game when he hit himself on the head with a but after drawing a walk. Course we appreciate his sense of humor and his Studebaker. REINOLD SIRJANE GRUMPY Ah! Now we've hit the big lad himself. After the Senior Play tso they 5330 the lower classmen were afraid to speak to 23h -e THE SUTHERLAND Sirjane thinking he had acted natural during the play. But Gt'umpy's the center of attraction when a. gang gets together. BEATRICE PARKHILL B Beatrice wasn't content to graduate with ordinary honors but had to grab the salutatory. She never knew that boys ex- isted in the class, but Dame Rumor reports that she now realizes it and has shown a preference for blondes. We miss- ed her company over the weekends. J ust what is the great attraction near Comwall, Beatrice? TONY SINKUS MIKE If you ever need Sinkus, he'll be at the club. What does he do there? Nothingll Mike loved school so much he came back for an extra year instead 01' graduating with last year's class. Do you want to argue? Consult him. OIVA SALMI SALLY Salmios another boy that decided to end school with a good class and in a good year so he carried his work over to us. We don't see enough of him to grind about. He's there when you need assistance in stage lighting. He's the only class mem- ber that owns a car. RUDOLPH ZECHNER RUDY Zechner is famous for his general usefulness about the school. What can he do to attain title? He can do anything from stage assistance to fixing telephones. We don't see him hanging around the girls much. though we should think that his name would help him make big strides. ANNE DYNAN DA YLIGHT We used to enjoy going to the Library on Monday even- ings some weeks ago. That's all past but the memories linger of Anne's attempts to establish order in those literary halls. ALFRED BACCEI BACHEECHEE If you ever come across a person dramatizing a whole play by himseif to an unresponsive audience. it's Baccei. Bachee- chee made a swell nurse for the Romeo and Juliet burlesque and a fine coon in Peggy and the Pirates . CLARA ZAPPONI ZAP While the rest of us are sneezing Clara is down selling sweets to the sweet C! '2 ?L Nevertheless she's always on hand when there's any fun to be had. J not what are your plans af- ter you leave school, Clara. Whatever they are. we wish you the best of luck. OTILIA BROLIN TILLY When you see a small, smiling girl with her arms filled with books youhll know it's Tilly. Judging from the number THE S U TH ERLA ND 25 that she always has. with her. she must like to study. We hope that you will enjoy teaching children the A1305. Otilia. HAROLD SWANSON DIZ Swanson likes school. He likes his studies. He likes his teachers. He goes to bed early. He stays away from parties and leads a generally mild life. He's a model boy and more should follow his example. iApplesaucei. LEAH TORRI . T0183! Her alarming last name does not imply that she is una patriotic. J udging from the motions that she goes through to answer in class, Leah would make a good cheer leader. Never mind. Leah. we're just jealous that we cannot always be pre pared to answer all questions asked of us. THORA STAHL nFLIP Thora'ei experience of trying to get the seniors to pay their class dues will help her for her work when she attains the position of secretary down at Bay Path. She must like Recs very well, judging from the number of them that she has a monopoly over. V130 MACKIE MACK Seeing a blue streak flying down the corridor does not puzzle the students now for they have solved the mystery. It's only Mackie On his way to give somebody a good lecture for neglecting to contribute material for the Sutherland . How- eVer, his bark is worse than his bite. P. H. S. loses a valu- able editor-in-chief when Mack graduates. PAUL WESTIN HPOLLY Polly's our ambassador. If we want someone to make a trip on behalf of the class he's the boy to do it. He is one of the guys that came to school for an education and he got it, grabbing valedictorian honors into the bargain. WILPAS KALLIO itKELLY Here's our cosmopolitan student. Hels at home in base- ball, football, basketball, dance hall, parties, studiesiw. and with members of the fair sex. Kellyls popularity is an estab- lished fact at P. H. S. and elsewhere. He's a very nice boy. tSomebody's opinioni. HENRY SWAN FEE WEE Peewee would make a dandy flagstaff. He went out for baseball this year and you ought to see him gobble up those flies. An occasional bee Uineri or a butter ifingeri fly gets his goat. It's a wonder his teeth don't catch cold as his mouth is open all the time. 2-16 THE SUTHERLAND CLASS OF 1928.
