Lincoln School Fight Song (We’re Loyal To You Illinois)

The 1923 Vincennes High School basketball team derived the unique nickname of “Alices.” That team played one night at Columbus, where they were dubbed the Cinderella team of 1923. Combining the fairytale of Cinderella with Alice in Wonderland and Alice of Old Vincennes, a sports writer started calling the team, Alices, and it has stuck since. Although school officials have never officially adopted the nickname, the unique nickname has followed Vincennes High School athletic teams through out their history. The mascot, Big “A”, was first introduced in 1983.
