Assemblies prove boost for athletes Pep assemblies proved exciting as the student body showed school spirit and pride. Cheerleaders and Vice-principal Al Graziano spent hours organizing the assemblies to help fire-up the various athletes for their games. Drill Team and Flags once again dis- played outstanding dance routines, while the Lincoln men kept the spirit flowing through various performances. Different contests between classes were held. Seniors, displaying skill and knowl- edge gained from three years at Lincoln, eas- ily won the tricycle race, while tying for first in the obstacle course. Girls once again proved who could drink the most by beating the boys in a (root) beer drinking contest. Joe Gatto captured all male hearts when he won the bathing suit beauty (?) contest. Joe Orcutt came in a close second. During basketball season one could regis- ter to shoot a basket for a prize. Senior Pete Sabbag was the only person to success- fully complete all three baskets. The cheerleaders led the students in cheers to boost the athletes confidence in winning their upcoming events. Compete- tion between classes is always strong. The freshman were very enthusastic, but once again senior pride prevailed. 16
