Lincoln Westminster Abbey It was cloudy and damp one evening in the year of 2436 when a sky rocket dropped down in front of a large building that looked as if it might have been a school building once upon a time. Two girls got out, walked over to a dilapidated mailbox and gazed upon some faded letters which read "Lincoln High School." One girl said(, in rather an uninterested tone, "Yes I believe I remember by grandmother telling me of her great great grandmother Susie and great great grandfather Dick etlling her of this great place. Oh, yes, it was some place." The girls looked at the building and a chill ran up and down their spines. They approached the doors, which were rusty and looked as if they had not been opened for at least a half century. T CLa..U wtwvtv witkiuiu wc feu lii. i. fa.IT kail... Im not going to like this place, it looks horrible to me. Sure, why not, .we might as well." The two girls opened the door, which groaned and sqeeked with age, and entered a very small hallway. A large silver plate they saw with these words engraved upon it. Entombed in this building are the remains of those who mSde Lincoln what it was and what it should always be remembered for. Due to a mysterious and weird cause, the departing class of 1937 to denounced their relationship it, and then and thereafter some strange object has haunted the building and those who enter it. When they had finished reading this they hesitated a moment and then entered the second set of doors and approached a damp, misty smelling hall. At their right was a door, opened about one fourth of the way, they opened it far enough to get thru and entered a room that looked as if it might have been an office. There in the middle of the floor, was a large tomb. On the top of the tomb was a large framed paper, that had some faded writing on it. Let me take that flash light, I cant read this." The girls flashed the light on it and were then able to read the inscription. Here lies Karl Banks, principal of Lincoln High School, who died because of a sudden loss of his beautiful head of hair." Say, kid, he must have had a lot of hair, don't you think?" Yes, if he died over the loss of it "Wh-awas "It must be the class bell, I suppose that thing will haunt this building forever. By this time the girls were shivering so bad, they could hardly speak. Lets get out of here, I dont like it." Oh you big coward, youre just like that coward Diana, that I read about in that old 1937 Year Book of Lincolns that is up in our attic." Lets go down this halt at our left, but keep that flashlight on, Im scared enough as it is. Okay, if you say so, but honestly the knocking together of mj knees is enough to wake up a mummy." Speaking of mummies, dont step back or you'll bump into me. -5 -t th-a- t? man, died because he ran out of assignments." They kept on walking although they were shaking so bad their steps were a wee bit slow. They flashed the light on the second of a number of mummies, Fern Jude, died because of the lack of students in the hall during classes." The next was R. PartNext ridge, died of starvation." Miss White, died of nervous prostration, next Mr. C. H. Davies, died of the lack of jokes." The next three wltre Richard P. who died trying to find Nita B.

It says, Mr. Boyd Davis, while looking for a penny in the sawdust got his head cut off in the buzz say." Here is another one, it says Mr. Swensen died of chlorine gas. We are just about to the end of this hall, should we go upstairs or not?" Yes we might as well while we are in here. The two girls climbed the stairs to the upper hallway, it too, was lined with mummies, some tall, some skinny and some fat. The first two they examined were Mary Conder, and Don Edwards, both of which died with a broken heart. The next two they approach'd were Grant Blake, and Beth Park, both lied of bankruptcy trying to out do the other guy. Hey, what is that dusty piece of paper there in front of you, flash the light and see what it is. With these orders the other girl picked up the piece of paper unfolded and found a few readable lines which said. . Dear Rudolph: suggest that we make it but a mere But nemenjber friendship. I you very much, ingly yours, Anna Duffin. This is all the girls could make out of the note so they threw it aside and continued down the hall. They had gone but a few steps when their flash light went slowly jjjit surely out. The flash wont work, what do we do now? I dont know, but I suppose we will just have to feel our way ojt of this place. Glendat Glenda! will you please wake up. You have been running rather shakey like around this room and you have torn down two pictures and have broken your looking glass. Come on now get up or you are going to miss the bus. Club Organizations Are Sponsored Senior High Play Is Scheduled For Friday The Lincoln High Tigers opened their 1936-3- 7 basketball campaign December 4, at the Murray High School, where they were defeated to the tune of A long one handed shot from the middle of the floor gave the Murray team theit two point victory. The Lincoln Tigers got off to a poor start, but after thy became accustomed to the strange floor, they soon showed plenty of class. Two minutes before the gun sounded, the score was tied. The closeness of the score shows that the team9 were evenly matched. 38-3- Springville Victorious Springville, December 9, the Red Devils took an early lead over the Lincoln Tigers and held it throughout the game. Twice the Tigers showed a touch of power, but let down again before they threatened the supremacy of the Devils. The Lincoln Tigers are a inexperienced team, but with the league not starting until January, they should have plenty of power. With Jack Conder holding down center position; Reed Gillespie, Frosty Kitchen, Dean Farnsworth, Forwards; Stanley Parity, Tony Ivans, Angus Makay, and Lowell Bigelow in the guard positions, Lincoln Tigers should show up in later games.

The family were converts to and came to America when John was seven. There were four in the family. Brother Allens earliest memory is of an incident that typified his later life but it occured in Wales when he was four. The Mormon Elders were giving a concert and young John, already well known for his singing ability, was asked to sing. He made a successful public appearance in the song, Jesus Loves Me, This I Know. The family were thrilled to sail to America on the fastest boat of its maiden voyage too, that day and they set a record of seven days for the voyage.
