boy his age, and he was always a great student. Jack had a great deal of common sense about any matter. lt was very interesting to watch the change in him each summer as his mind and strong character developed. From the time he was very young, he always strongly admired his Grandfather Lincoln. If he found any clipping, or tribute pertaining to Lincoln, he would put it away carefully and treasure it faithfully. ,lack was fifteen years old when his father, Robert, was made Ambassa- dor to England. There was great excitement when they finally left. After the departure, my brother Arthur anxiously awaited the first letter which J ack would write to him from England. This same letter was the first and last letter ever written to Arthur from England, as J ack died very shortly afterward. That falfhe was sent away to school in Versailles, France, where he developed an infection and became very ill. He was then taken to Paris where an operation followed. But it was too late to save him, for blood poisoning set in, resulting in his deathf, If Jack had lived, doubtless with so many of the qualities of the Grand- father whom he revered, Jack might someday have taken an important place in the government. Robert Lincoln, who had been handicapped by his inferiority complex and whose life had been too close to that of his father, did not accomplish the most of which he was capable. But this brilliant, keen-witted boy, who always showed sympathy to all, would have come just at the right time. Had he lived, he would today be about sixty- four years old. This troubled country of ours might have gained another great leader in ,lack Lincoln. DEEDEE ALLEN, 1941 HONORABLE MENTION God Walks By As underneath these trees l lie Some great spirit passes nigh. A sudden quiet fills the air, The leaves are still, as though in prayer, The foolish breezes pause. Instead A soft wind bows each leafy head. Then reverence seems to fill the sky For God is walking by. JANE FAHAN, 1940 mime, 195 9 l59l

Each summer the Robert Lincolns would visit the home of Senator Harlan in Mt. Pleasant, lowa. The children loved these summers for there they led a free and happy life. Everyone in the town recognized the famous Lincoln pony which the children drove about the streets. It was in this town that my family became acquainted with the Lincolns.

He looked extremely distinguished, for his face had the expression of a determined character. He was a blond boy with rosy cheeks, a fair complexion, and beautiful blue eyes.

HIGH SCHOOL PRIZE POEM The Old Chief Grim-faced and silent, Lone survivor of a mighty race, Bright eyes dimmed hy age, Clever brain clouded hy the while 11131175 fire-water, He sits hefore a cainp-fire, Dreaming, perhaps, of olden days - The buffalo-chase, horses swift and sure, Things done in his youth that are lost to hini forever. Degraded by the white inan, left without a tribe, The Old Chief sits alone, Wliile Death Waits, not far away, To restore his lost honor Wllen he journeys to the Happy Hunting Ground. JOAN B. SULLIVAN, HIGH SCHOOL PRIZE DESIGN Sas. X31 JOAN B. SULLIVAN, 1939 Winona, 1 93 9 I 60 I I939
