Scope and content
ca. 1926. The "Lincoln Letter Lassies." The 1925-26 school year at Lincoln High School saw the formation of this new organization composed of 24 girls, all of them the winners of one or more letters ("L"s) in athletics. The purpose of the group was to promote good sportsmanship and further interest in girls' athletics. The requirements for membership were the earning of at least one letter for sports and a passing grade in 3 out of 4 subjects. The girls performed community service work, as well as enjoying hikes, a tennis tournament and dances sponsored by the group. Senior Margaret Alleman was the president. Other officers included Lois Phenicie, Rosaline Koval, Jean Churchman and Mabel Bennett. (LHS yearbook "Lincolnian, 1926")
