lually the last key that opens the
lock.
It's the steady pull of all together
that wins.
After all, the only shot that
counts is the one that hits the mark.
Because of the inclemency of the
weather on Tuesday evening, the
Parent Teachers Association of the
Lincoln school did not have as large
an attendance as is the usual hap
pening. Several of the number on
the program were not given, due to
the inability of the entertainers to
be present. However, those who
did put in their appearance did it
in very creditable manner. Mrs.
Wieman called the meeting tc order
and upon the conclusion of the read
ing of the minutes Of the last meet
ing by the Secretary, Maud Phelps, a
Junior High School student, gave
the Gettysburg Address. Maud de-
serves a great deal of praise for her
accomplishments and talent. Ella
Green, H. S. Sophomore, sang
when the Sun Sets in Ireland" as
the next number She was very en-
Enthusiastically .encored and she sang
"Caroline" as second selection. We
had not heard Of Elias ability before
and we were pleasantly surprised.
Rev. Jennings of the M. E church
gave very interesting speech on
the "Catacombs." Mr.. Jennings
needs no introduction to the public
because most of us have heard him
before and those who were not there
can realize what they missed. Presi-
dent of the school Board, Mr.. Bryan,
gave a short concise talk on the
schools and the difficulties under
which they are laboring, but with Mr.
Bryan at the helm, we can rest as
sured that Washburn schools need
not take back seat for long. Mrs.
Wieman closed the meeting after
bringing forth some business and
lunch was served. There were, about
.fifty-five people at the meeting, this
being the smallest meeting so far
this year at the Lincoln school.

!. A senior meeting was called, Mon
day, the 18th. The members agreed
to have panel, or the news and
happenings of just the Senior Class
rather than have an expensive an
nual for which the probably
could not pay. A committe was ap-
pointed to make dummy and find
out just what small panel of about
fifty pages would cost. Plans Tor
raising money for the panel were
suggested, but nothing definite has
been reported.
