DEDICATION MRS. HEISLER Mrs. Heisler's tasks include: (above) counting lunch tickets: (left) duplicating schedules; and (below) typing out correspon- dence. The 1974 yearbook staff would like to dedicate this Torch to Mrs. Heisler, the secretary at Lincoln High School. Mrs. Heisler was born in Park Falls, and has three children, all of whom graduated from Lincoln: Thomas 26, Janice 25. and Daniel 22. Before working for the school system, she was the City Treasurer and City Clerk's assistant at City Hall. Mrs. Heisler started work as a secretary at Lincoln in February. 1967. working as Mr. Frokjers secretary until Mr. Ross became Principal. Most people think of the secretary's job as being an easy one, but quite the opposite is true. Mrs. Heisler has many tasks in the office too numerous to mention, but some of them include: making out admit slips, report cards, tardy slips, athletic eligibility lists, student class schedules. NYC payrolls, and college transcripts for students: typing out all correspondence for Mr. Ross and Mr. Knutson; keeping permanent records on grades and attendance for every student; and taking care of all the money from athletic events, student activities, and hot lunch. When we asked Mrs. Heisler what her reaction was to the Torch being dedicated to her. she replied that she was flattered and pleased. Going on. she continued. I have a long standing interest in the Torch. Years ago when I was a senior in high school. I was Co-Editor of our Torch. We have all the copies of Torches from 1961 on. when my oldest son was in 7th grade, and we find it very interesting looking back through the copies. 3

In Webster s Dictionary, school is defined as . . a place where instruction is imparted to the young.” Most of the time, though, the formal definition of school is hardly ever thought of because school is much more than that. All rise and face the front of the room is heard every Monday morning amid the moans and groans of 600 odd students who know that this is the start of a new week. Despite the Monday morning blahs, school starts. Some days everything can go like clockwork. You get your proofs figured out for Geometry, type 50 words a minute with no errors, your hair finally looks decent (for once) and the cafeteria serves your favorite meal: pizzaburgers. Then there are the days that you would rather do without, because you discover a run in your nylons and no one has any polish; the coach makes you run 20 laps around the gym because you swore at him; you remember that your term paper is due in two days and you haven't started it; and a new girl is in your class, and she's great competition. But somehow everything worked out for the best. School means a lot of things to different people: hard work, good times, frustrations, and just day-to-day living and growing. Is that what it means to you?

For the first time in three years, a published yearbook has been on time for Class Day activi- ties. Unless anyone has been an editor of a yearbook, he cannot be aware of all the work involved in the organization of pages, photography, and the meeting of deadlines. Due to the lack of interest in previous years, the possibility of not having a '74 Torch was im- pending in the fall. Fortunately for the Lincoln High students, enough interest was displayed to produce a yearbook; thus, the '74 Torch. We personally would like to thank the area business people for their contributions and adver- tising; Mr. Busby, our advisor; Mr. Kittock and Steve Herbst, the photographers in charge of the major portion of the yearbook; the section editors for their long hours of making layouts and organizing cutlines and copy; and all those who helped make the '74 Torch a success. A special thanks goes out to the MacGregor Publishers for their devoted help and Mr. Ross, our Principal, for his belief in our ability to get the job done. We hope you enjoy the '74 Torch and will treasure it in the years to come! Shirley Weinberger, Editor Terri Hecimovich, Junior Editor
