GIRLS, ALL TAKE UP
DOMESTIC SCIENCE
Lincoln Junior High School
Enthusiastic In All Lines
Of Work

Almost every girl In the Lincoln
Junior high school has taken up domcs'
tic science work of her own accord, as
this course is optional. And the same
may be said Of the boys in regard to
the manual training. The question as
to whether practical training meets
with the wishes of the 150 pupilsin this
school is answered by this almost unan
imous choice, as both manual training
and domestic science are optional.
Lincoln school also has the distinc
tion of having girl for yell leader
in their athletics, Miss Mabel Gardner,
elected by the students. The schoo
also scores one on the other two junior
high schools in having two boys in the
cooking department Of domestic science,
Russell Everson and Bernard Ryan.
The student body Of this school has
been organized and by popular election,
the following were named; President,
John Null; vice.president, Warren
Brasher; secretary and treasurer, Ma
bel Gardner; sergeant at arms, Vern
Dragcr; yell leader, Mabel Gardner.
The constitution and bylaws for tho
school have not been adopted but will
