Shout 'till the rafters ring; Hear thou this swan-pitched lay to parting men. Stand and drink a toast once again, Farewell to thee our Alma Mater dear, Let every loyal son of David sing. Our love for thee borne in each falling tear Then drink to all the happy hours, In retrospect we gather up the past, Drink to the care-free days; Re-piece the vestiges and weep, alas, The end has come, another world awaits, Drink to the royal line of David, The flux moves on, we mortals must keep pace.

Farewell to thee who now dismisseth us To the trees, to the sky, To sail the hidden shoals of mundane lusts.

We have witnessed events new to Lincoln, and the promotion of athletic interest in the student body has been due (o the won- derful activities of this council. Besides the regular intramural games the council has also fostered independent games. This was intended to allow everyone's participation in physical develop- ment. An enormous amount of enthusiasm was dis- played in Basketball. Besides the four class teams there were six independent teams. The winning class team was the sophomore, while the Celtics were the victors among the independents. In baseball also the classes have clashed and showed ability and worth. To increase interest, the council has given banquets to the winners. Two banquets have been staged this year, and they were gala affairs. There is no doubt that Lincoln is growing in athletics.
