Class Learns
About Cows
In our class we have been talk
ing about cows. We have learned
that some cows have plenty of
SPri;e.
When cows come out of the
pasture they go straight to their
stalls, although one of them may
play a trick by licking out of
another’s food.
A cow stomach holds from fifty
to seventy gallons. We learned
that a cow has four stomachs. A
cow has no upper teeth.
Butter fat in milk gives us
energy to walk, run and play.

Going Out For
Sports In A
Great Big Way
By McArthur Alston, '51
The boys are really going out
for sports at Lincoln Hi. The
freshman class even had the
nerve to challenge the seniors tc
a gridiron combat. I call tha'
nothing but nerve! That’s what i
call going out for sports at Lin
coln Hi.
Although the freshman class
played a good game, the senior;
rolled on to victory over them
to a score of thirty-three to six.
This is a game long to be re
membered, especially by the
freshmen.
One thing the Lincoln Hi boys
do is to play the game by the
rules. They play clean! There
were about a hundred spectators
watching the game, so the boys
showed ’em how they regard
the rules of sports.

The 8A and 7B classes are
making great progress in art. For
“Open House” we made paper
marche bowls, earrings, lapel
pins, saving banks, vases, and pot
holders. We are making gifts for
parents now.
Our class is studying a unit
on Christmas music and Christ
mas customs. We are learning
about the origin of some of our
Christmas customs. We are also
learning some Christmas songs
that we did not know.
We are planning to have a big
Christmas party. The class is
well organized, and everyone is
going to participate.
We regret to say we are losing
one of the members of our 8A

moving to Washington, D. C.
The 8A and 7B classes extend
to the faculty and students a
Merry Christmas and a Happy

History of Cows
At first no one thought of milk
ing a cow. The only time the cow
had milk was when it had a baby
calf to feed; sooner or later,
though, someone tried to milk a
cow. Perhaps a baby lost its
mother and the father thought he
would try the same food which
made the baby calf grow strong
and sturdy At any rate, in an
cient times, long before history
was written down, somebody
tried the milk of a cow and
found it good. It must have been
a great event.
If a man had many cows, he
was wealthy, if he had only a
few, he was poor. There was no
such thing as money in those
days of long ago. Men counted
their cattle and sheep to find out
how much wealth they owned.
The Romans changed the word
they used for “herd” just a little
and used it to mean “money.”
When the very first letter “A”
was made, the people made a
picture of a cow’s head.
So you see the cow really came
first.
