 During the year an Honor Roll was maintained in Grades V to VIII Rooms II to IS. To have ones name inscribed on the Honor Roll, a student must stand at least 85 per cent in every test. The tests are divided into six sets during the year. A good many scholars make the Honor Roll for one or more series of tests but the num- Der who stay On for the whole year is very small. Grace Bouton, Charles Goulding, Ellwood Weise. Eugene Mag ner, Rose Selignan Adeline Grabber, Bessie Joyce are the only ones who succeeded in doing this and they de- serve especial mention.
 The graduating class presented the school with handsome library table and $3000. The money is to be in- cluded in a fund that will be raised next year for a Lincoln Memorial tab let. During the year the scholars of the different rooms purchased ten large U. s. flags and twelve school flags. All but two rooms now own their own flags so that now there is an added interest to the flag pledge and salute which are given every Mon- day morning.
 Last week Mr. Lawson photogra ph- ed the different athletic teams. The school was very successful in athletics this year. The First Basket Ball team and the Second Senior Baseball team stood at the head of their leagues each having won II games and lost none. The Second Basket Ball team also was at the head of it's division and the First Senior Baseball team stood second. This is the second time teams have won from all other school teams in the city.
 There are between 20 and 30 new ap- plicants for next years drum corps. The prospect is very bright for a drum corps in 1912 that will surpass the corps of 1911.
 The scholars of Room 17 presented their teacher Miss Beach, with a beautiful gold handled silk umbrella as a token of their good wishes for a pleasant vacation.
 On Thursday a large number of the teachers celebrated the close of school by a shore dinner at Savin Rock In- asmuch as Lincoln School has always been quite a Matrimonial Bureau, number of the mothers acted as chap eronS.
