EDITOR'S
NOTE:
Fellow students, what at first seemed impossible
has coir.e to pass. Our book suffers from the common
impositions brought on by war, but teaches us a
valuable lesson in accomplishment under handicap.
It is, indeed, with much pride that I have worn
the badge of custodian of the memories you wish to
perpetuate.
We, who have attempted here to bridge
the years between our coming in and our going out,
have felt a sense of inadequecy to the fulfilling of
this sacred task. We have, however, spared no effort
to vividly recapture that which has come to pass
that this compendium of memories might find a
place among the most priceless treasures life bestows
upon you.
Excellent reminiscing,
GALAMISON.

GREETINGS:
T h e s e are d a y s when hope is being reborn within the hearts o f millions o f

L i g h t s that had been snuffed out seem n o w not

O t h e r lights that w e r e burning d i m l y in the
darkness are c o m i n g u p again to illumine the p a t h w a y o f m a n k i n d and, perhaps,
t o guide us a l o n g the w a y to the c i t y o f our d r e a m s .
W i l l this rebirth o f hope end in illusion?
W i l l these lights flicker f a i n t l y f o r

Message from

T h r e e decades a g o —how s w i f t l y t h e y h a v e Red!—-the writer and
his f e l l o w s o f the Class o f 1915 stood w h e r e y o u n o w stand,
waiting
w i t h ardent eagerness the summons to g o out, " n o t k n o w i n g w h i t h e r
. . . "
I t is n o w y o u r D a y .
Y o u r s is a strange, f a t e f u l hour.
W a r clouds still hang
heavily.
Visions o f peace are distorted b y dictates o f imperialism, aggression and
greed.
T y r a n n i e s o f race and class still seek to m a i n t a i n their evil s w a y .
Y o u will not find it a h a p p y w o r l d .
B u t the struggle into which y o u will enter is not w i t h o u t
t u n i t y or hope.
oppor-
H o w e v e r dark the picture m a y appear, all is not lost,
nor can it e v e r be, while G o d abides.
A n d to y o u inalienably, i r r e v o c a -
b l y there remains the p r i v i l e g e o f choosing " t h e w a y that y o u r soul
shall g o . "
M a y y o u r choice be the high w a y , and y o u r g o i n g f o r t h signalize
the d e t e r m i n a t i o n to share, w i t h like-spirited humankind, a great and
courageous a d v e n t u r e f o r a b e t t e r w o r l d .
T o this purposeful end, let
there be action . . . and honor . . . and
fc.ith!
F r o m the pages o f the E t e r n a l W o r d c o m e s a timeless message, at
once a challenge and a b e n e d i c t i o n :
" E e strong and o f a g o o d c o u r a g e ;
b e not a f r a i d , neither be thou d i s m a y e d ; f o r the L o r d t h y G o d is w i t h

I
i
T h e halls resound the echoes that alone remain
O f life that was returned to look upon its g r a v e ;
W h e r e fret the shallow y o u t h of early age.
W here are they now who loved this sacred soil,
L i v e d joyously among the stately pines; and
Laughed a b o v e the green-clad hills that roll and twine
Braiding the hair of seasons into a frame,
For that fair jewel beset within her brow?
A gem of unknown worth, but to those who once
Adorned the noble Orange and Blue, that mantle of renown!
T h e stars clad themselves in grief, to mourn for
T h e bobbing heads, no longer beneath the pillowed sky
Tn boyish pranks, and romping frolic spending
O f a d a y well read . . . the waning hours.
For now the carefree songs of blissful glee
A r e changed into a m o n o d y , and wishful sighs
Replace those merrier notes of laughter.
T h e bell tolls! no longer ringing loud and clear.
A skeleton of the past trods across the green.
A w e a r y few to take a place among the e m p t y seats,
A n d strain to hear the old familiar voices a n s w e r — " H e r e . "
T h i s seat for Stan! T h i s seat for B u d d !
N o t l a t e — b u t gone!
W h y are they late?
Harsh words to fall upon a buddy's ear.
T h e tide moves out each d a y and leaves a thinning number
W i t h i n those breasts a heart is aflame with the smoldering embers
T h a t alone remain . . .
of memories dear.

REMEMBER
. . . ?
T h a t sickly look on the faces of a few youngsters who alighted from a Trailw a y bus . . . Lincoln?
W h e n the pie man traveled with an armed escort, and the persecuted Freshmen, who wanted to partake of his sundry delicacies, had to be satisfied with
paddles and desk glasses?
T h a t memorable "IFood Week" of 1941 when the " C z a r , " in the midst of one
of his inspiring discourses to the " h o u n d s , " found himself alone and surrounded
b y E d Gentry, Jeff Jones, Francis Jackson, and a few others who effected a complete "wash avva.y"?
W h e n M c N e i l l was hurt in the '41 Prep-Sophomore game, and Bill Hunter
decided to lead the Freshmen and Seniors against the Juniors and Sophomores?
Remember the vanishing Sophomores?
W h e n the uppercla.ssrr.en decided to practice a few tonsorials, and Orington
Hall threatened to and did shoot to protect his mop? T h e great Persons reached
for his hip pocket a little late and lost one mustache in the ensuing f r a y !
W h e n the E. R . C. boys made their fateful march? M i n g o , Rollins, and Y a t e s
were escorted to the bath a la pajama, T e d d y Gordon was plucked in the head*
and Rendall Hall was laid waste in the process.
W h e n we used to pick the good ones from " S a v o y " around midnight, and
M i n g o made Lincoln-Ashmun resound with " C o o t i e W i l l i a m s " ?
W h e n the Glee Club Prom came up, you could always count on a good game
o f ball from the Dean? T h e Dean was batting low in those days, wasn't he, Br3'ant?
T h e constant dwindling that was '43 and '44?
W h e n the rabble, assuming such titles as " T h e
"The
Joker," and
"The
Batman,"
started
Jester," " T h e
Penguin,''
the perpetual epidemic of
"Room
JFashaways"1
T h e Championship T e a m in '44 sparked b y our own R u d y Johnson?
T h e hidden brew in Hainey's closet?
T h e Pan-Hellenic Dance in '44 which made all the great lovers show their
hands?
T h e famous " W e s t Chester I n c i d e n t " which culminated in a marathon walk
by Rainer, M c i n t o s h , B o w e n and Blair when a certain party failed to materialize?
Our somewhat disturbing nocturnal schedule?

Spiritual architects, builders o f the K i n g d o m , laborers for G o d ' s
vineyard are these men.
T h e y are preparing for battle on a front at
which man has never known v i c t o r y .
T h e y carry a Gospel more power-
ful than the cannon, a Gospel which in its quietness drowns out the
noise of ecumenical conflict and bids men come t o peace.
I n the hands
of men like these throughout the world lies a large portion o f the future.

These happy men are about to run the last lap of a four-year race,
the brevity of which becomes appallingly obvious only at graduation
time. T h e y have but one message for the departing Seniors whose shoes
they shall fill: "It's goirg to be cold next winter."
W i t h the Junior Class lies a great deal of responsibility.
The
most memorable parting gesture of the Senior Class is the placing of
the M a n t l e upon the shoulders of the Junior Class representative on
Class N i g h t . T h e M a n t l e represents the high principles for which Lincoln stands and, in accepting the Mantle, the Junior Class pledges to
guard and perpetuate, with equal \ igor, the traditions of Lincoln
University.
T h e Class of 1945 will proudly make its investiture this year and
charges that the Class of 1946 keep the Mantle pure and spotless for
posterity.

T h e Freshman Class arrived on the campus more than fifty strong
last September and far outnumbered all other classes. Its members
are, of necessity, affected b y this perilous era during which they begin
their college careers, and m a n y do not expect to corpplete training
without interruption.
It takes courage, indeed, to begin one's college training under
these extenuating war circumstances; for orientation is made exceedingly difficult b y the shadows of "friends and neighbors," comprising
the local draft board, which promenade the halls of Cresson.
T h e hats of upperclassmen go off to these wearers of the green
who know not what tomorrow m a y bring. Tomorrow's Lincoln belongs
to them. M a y they be preserved to watch the sun rise on their C o m mencement D a y .

W e are rapidly arriving at a realization of the fact that an effective system of Student G o v ernment is as important a part of student education as the academic curriculum itself. T h e
student must learn to exercise the democratic principles, both as a follower and a leader, if he
expects to participate as a worthy citizen in the true democracy we hope and believe America
shall some day become.
T h e Student Council this year has made tremendous strides toward this desirable end.
Under the leadership of Dudley Cobham, it has both championed and chastised the student
body in a manner worthy of commendation. America can have great leaders only if its institutions are conducive to the making of great leaders. T h e educational institution is the place
to begin.
" L e t us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair."

A class of only eleven men, a disturbing shortage of funds, wartime restrictions on literary
publications and a scarcity of talent are some of the obstacles which confronted this year's
LION Staff. T h e desires of eleven men to have a yearbook, however, can be as great as the desires of hundreds, and this staff undertook the job.
T h e editor feels greatly indebted to Douglass and Callaway who said, " Y o u write the book;
we'll raise the m o n e y . "
And they raised it.
T h e staff expresses its gratitude to Marshall Allen, a graduate student, who contributed
generously of his time and artistic talents when asked.
Cooperative workers who carry out assigned tasks can make any j o b a pleasure.

T i m e was when having a "nose for news," an insatiable curiosity and literary ability qualified one as a journalist. r Ihe new era of change which lies ahead, however, demands other qualities of the journalist. H e must be a daring, militant, courageous and crusading advocate o f
the truth. T h e rapidity with which the dawning of the " n e w d a y " will come depends upon
venturesome journalists and an untrammeled, unsubsidized press.
T h e "noosies" pictured above are learning the art of moulding public opinion and the value
of taking a stand on issues of importance. T h e Lincolnian
this year has maintained a desirably
high and creative standard of journalism.

T h e Y . M . C. A . Cabinet is responsible for the promotion of Christian activity on the campus. T h e raising of cultural standards is its more secular aim. These objectives are carried out
by means of Forums, Vespers, Conferences, and various other projects.
This year the "Y"
Cabinet promoted the outstanding program when it presented Helena
M a y l e , lyric soprano, and H a r v e y Huggins, baritone, in a Classic Recital at the M a r y D o d
Brown Memorial Chapel. M r s . Anna Wilson was the skilled accompanist who helped make the
evening unforgettable. T h e music of Brahms, Schubert, Puccini and all the rest was artistically
presented by these exceptional performers.

PSI
Epsilon Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity was founded on Lincoln's campus
in December, 1915. For thirty years K a p p a has contributed immeasurably to the life of students through its many varied activities. This has been no less true during the past year, for

During the past year, K a p p a perpetuated several annual events:
the Freshman Smoker,
the Pre-Christmas Frolic in Baltimore, the Kappa Quiz and observance of the National Guide
R i g h t M o v e m e n t which emphasized postwar social and economic planning.

1 he observance of National N e g r o Achievement Week is an auspicious occasion on the

IN APPRECIATION
September last, arriving students found that Lincoln University had secured both a new
dietitian and campus barber.
T h e barber was M r . Clarence
MR.
A N D
MRS.
C L A R E N C E
R E N W I C K
Renwick, and the dietitian, his
wife, Mrs. Renwick.
T h e t w o have not only integrated themselves to the extent that they have become an indispensable part of campus life, but have also set a commendable example of service. Because
of this, the LION Staff is joined b y the student body in this genuine and sincere tribute rendered
/In Appreciation."
T h e feeding of a number of people frcm heterogeneous backgrounds is a tremendous j o b .
M r s . Renwick has managed to please and has manifested both savoir jaire and gentle patience.
M r . Renwick has proved himself the expert tonsorial artist whose ability with the clippers
is exceeded only by his desire to improve the customer's appearance.
In a wartime nation, where service has been neglected because demand is so much greater
than supply, Lincoln is fortunate to have two people who take pride in their jobs and do them
well.
" B u t made Himself of no reputation, and took upon L.im the form of a servant,
and was made in the likeness of m e n . "

F O O T B A L L
S Q U A D
A f t e r a season of inactivity on the gridiron. Coach R i v e r o resurrected the dead L i o n squad
and managed to send a somewhat formidable eleven to battle for the Orange and Blue.
Fresh-
men comprised more than half the team which l e f t a season record of t w o victories, one tie and
four defeats.
T h e most e v e n t f u l game of the season was the homecoming spectacle which ended with
a sound thrashing of the H a m p t o n Institute eleven, 15 to 0.
T h e squad saw its most trying
moments against the superior elevens of M o r g a n State and Virginia State which humbled the
Lions, 58 to 0 and 61 to 0, respectively.
I n both v i c t o r y and defeat the squad manifested a t y p e of courageorsness and fortitude
which Lincoln will never forget.

A premature spring brought an unusually large number of tracksters out early this year,
and Coach R i v e r o feels certain that he has sufficient material to produce a representative
squad.
T h e Freshman Class, which contributed so generously to other athletic endeavors, has
donated several potential tapebreakers to enhance L i o n possibilities.
T h e r e are several veteran threats at large again this year.
Fans will see E d D i x o n who won three events at the '44 Penn Relays and boasts a 9.9
hundred.
R e was also anchor man for the L i o n Championship R e l a y T e a m which led the field
b y far.
Lincoln will present R o y a l Allen who claimed first place in the broad j u m p at the Lfoward
R e l a y s last y e a r with a 21.5 leap.
John Bowen, who ran the third leg for the M e d l e y Championship, and George Cooper,
who placed first in the H o w a r d R e l a y 220, will also contest this season.
M u c h is expected o f the candidate sprinters from the Freshman class.
Some are Bacon,
Huie, B o y d , Patterson, King, Gibbs and Parkins. Training for the distances are W h i t , Allen,
L l o y d , and Bishop, a Sophomore.
T h e track candidates are certainly working hard enough to deserve all the laurels the season
might bestow.
T h e m a j o r i t y of the men are on the cross-country route before breakfast, and
others m a y be seen practicing throughout the d a y .
T h e two great contests to which the squad is looking forward are the Penn Relays and
the C . I . A . A . Open M e e t at H o w a r d .
Good luck.

MEDITATIONS
ON
LEADERSHIP
I wonder if that star is lonely too,
W hich first pervades the sky when it is gray,
T o twinkle in the coming of the night,
T o proclaim termination of the d a y .
T h i s pioneer who challenges the sun,
Y e t dares enthrone himself before the moon,
Is followed b y a million other stars
W h o entrust to his care their life or doom.
W h a t courage this celestial being displays,
H o w bold he is to pilgrimage the night
W h i l e other satellites recluse above,
W h i l e man seeks refuge, and all birds cease fii
C a n he be sure that when the world is dark,
W h e n evil reigns before the morning's break,
T h e followers of his great celestial band
W i l l have no fear and follow in his wake?
W h o is this valiant being in the H e a v e n s
T o dare to show himself, a single one,
T o dare a t t e m p t to carry on the watch,
T h e task that G o d has given to the sun?
Can he combat the sinisters o f dark?
Can he uphold his own in evil's face?
W h a t if the other members of his clan
Should grow afraid and fail to take their place
But he has faith in them and they in him,
A n d though the many do not understand,
T h e y blindly follow him with endless faith,
A n d he in turn holds out to them his hand.
F o r each and e v e r y night that star is there,
T h e n others come to help him vigil keep,
A n d 'ere before the dawn they fade a w a y ,
But he waits for the sun that he might sleep.
