Presidents’ Nicknames
Let the nicknames of our Presidents form the subject of a guessing contest. These should be written one at a time upon a blackboard and numbered. One minute is allowed in which to guess and write down the name of the Executive to whom the title was applied. The list of nicknames is as follows:
Rail-splitter of the West? (Lincoln)
Hero of New Orleans? (Jackson)

Canal Boy? (Garfield)
Northern Man with Southern Principles? (Buchanan)

Let the best list of answers be awarded a prize.
