The Editor Speaks
The spirit exhibited by the
members of the faculty and stu
dents in the recent bus drive
proved the famous saying, “To
gather we stand; Divided we fall.”
The Need for a Bus
In recent years ail school activi
ties which required travel such as
trips by the band, footba'I l”am,
basketball teams and other " bool
organizations, had no means of
transportation except Mrs. Weav
er’s bus or the Carolina Trail-
ways. These means of transporta
tion proved very expensive to all
organizations concerned.
The success of the bus drive re
vealed how all the school worked
for one common cause.
The efforts put forth to pur
chase the bus shows the great
pride which is taken in our
school. “Where there is unity
there is strength and from this
combination of unity and strength
comes success.”

When the school doors have
opened.
And the bell has rung,
I go to my classroom
For school has begun.
When the devotion has ended.
And the reO ‘ms been called;
My first c'- History
Right across hall.
When History is over
And I’ve done my best.
It’s time for Home Ec.
There to finish my dress.
My third class is Biology
Room 103,
Then straight to lunch
Where I’m longing to be.
My fourth class is English,
And there I will go.
To diagram some sentences
And so and so.
After English is over
My last class is Band
There to play pur music
As well as we can.
When our school day is over.
And work is all done.
Then we are ready to go
To our very own home.
New Lincoln
I am a new pupil from North-
side Elemental^ School, I have
worked hard for the day to come
for me to come to Lincoln High
School. I am glad that I am here
in the new school, and I want
to help keep it new. In order to do
this we must all work together.
For example, we must not write
on walls and seats, or stick chew
ing gum on seats or trays, or
throw paper on the grounds. If
we do this Linr-'ln High School
will always be new.

Halloween
On my way home, I saw a large
bat,
A screeching owl, and an old
black cat.
Then I met a witch on a broom.
Who was all dressed in a funny
costume.
The witch came riding over my
head.
Then bump! bump!
What r- '>! I fell out of bed.
;■ I a Jean Jones—10-B
The story was told of an Indian
who was given a watch for some
honor. His watch stopped ticking.
He took the watch apart to fine
the trouble, not knowing anything:
at all about watches, he found i
dead bug. He exclaimed, “Uh'
No wonder watch not run, en
gine dead.”
In our Science class we have
been studying about plants and
animals. We decided that we
would like to make homes for
them. First we made an aquari
um. We learned that it takes a
gallon of water to one inch of
fish. We also learned that plants
in an aquarium help to supply
oxygen for the fish. The two
kinds of plants we have planted
were Sagittaria and Elodea. There
are also rocks and shells in our
aquarium. Snails help to keep it
clean.
We also studied about amphib
ians. So we decided to make a
vivarium. We began to collect
materials for it. We got five
pieces of glass, tape, plaster of
paris, a board and made our vi
varium. When we finished it we
didn’t have anything to put in it.
So we decided to take a field trip.
Some of the things we caught
were frogs, fish and salamanders.
We also collected some plants be
cause we learned that plants and
animals could live in a vivarium.
On the way back from our trip
we collected some of the various
rocks found in our community
because rocks was to be our next
unit. Some of the rocks that we
found were granite, quartz, slate,
flint, sandstone and limestone.
The quartz were so pretty that
we thought it would be a good
idea to make sets for rings out of
:it. .
We did not know if the rock we
caUed limestone was really lime
stone or not. So we made a test to
prove it. We poured hydrocloric
acid on it. And it bubbled. There
fore we knew it was limestone.
We learned the names of the
rocks that we did not know from
a collection of rocks we saw at
the North Carolina State-Fair.
We also have a pickle jar ter
rarium. We used a large pickle
jar and plaster of paris to make
it. Then we placed some rich soil,
plants and shells in it. It was very
interesting making home for these
plants and animals. All of us en
joyed our science class very
much.
