Apologies To Lincoln Three years and nine months ago the students of the Freshman Class brought forth upon the assembly, a new class, conceived in ignor- ance and dedicated to the proposition that all studies are useless and we know more than the authors. We are now engaged in a great civil war between Seniors and Juniors testing whether rubber bands or erasers are the best missile for warfare. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We are met to dedi- cate a. portion of this playground as the final resting place of those who gave their last ounce of wisdom trying to decipher the answers on their notes. But in a large sense we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men living and those who ought to be dead have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, yet it can not forget what we threw here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated to the Physical Science tests before us that from these who ought to be dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave their last full measure of knowledgeg and here we highly resolve that this school, under Mr. Hendrickson, shall have a new birth of education, and the govern- ment of the students, by the students, and for the students, shall not perish from the curriculum. SENIOR STAFF Jokes Charity Helper: Would you give 10c to help the Old Ladies Home? Ivan Crabtree: What! Are they out again? The ones who think our jokes are poor Would surely change their views, Could they compare the jokes we print With the ones we do refuse. Jim Rutledge: I can go with any girl in school. Eugene Saxe: Yes, but will any go with you? Doc Paul: Where were you with the car last night? David: Oh, just riding around with some of the boys. Doc Paul: Well, you better return this vanity case to the boy who left it in the car. There is meter in poetry, There is meter in tone, But the best way to meter Is to met'er alone.

Clifton Titzer Jim Zenthoefer Margaret Deom Mr. Morlock is a fidgety, nervous man who doesn't like anything but money, won't let his family do anythingg always gripes about his pains and aches, feuds with everyone and won't let his daughter, Mary, 20, become engaged to Joe Lanconi because Joe's father is poor. So when Joe's papa Luigi, comes over to plead his son's case, he's practically booted out of the house. The two old men have a fight and Luigi's bad heart just can't take it and he konks out. The feud appeared over, all is lost, but Luigi gets permission to come back and haunt Mr. Morlock until he gives permission for the wedding. All the family think Mr. Morlock lost his few remaining marbles when they see him out there talking to himself. Luigi kicks Mr. Morlock out of bed, pulls the covers off him, kicks him in the seat, flirts with his secretary. Poor Mr. Morlock, can neither eat not sleep. In his despair, he accidently takes too many sleeping pills. Then it happens. He, too, kicks the bucket. But will not leave until things are settled to his satisfaction, and Luigi says he can't rest in peace until Mary and Joe are married. So round they go again. Lucifer drops in to take Mr. Morlock down below. The family almost rejoices to have him out of the way. Mary makes plans for the wedding, Jessica continues her wrest- ling career, Mrs. Morlock is smiling and Dr. Brown hints at matrimony. Mr. Morlock realizes what a heel he has been just as Mildred, the maid, wakes him up from a restless night on the sofa. A changed man okays the wedding and makes promises to do better in the future.
