Mr. Ross fills the position of Principal at Lincoln High again this year. He sees to that each day the students work with faculty to insure a smooth-running and efficient school. Mr. Frokjer is the Superintendent of Schools once again. He works with the school board and sees to it that the school is run in the most beneficial way. To provide students with the opportunity of the best possible education. Lincoln High is extremely lucky to have a principal and superintendent who care and are willing to give so much time and effort for the benefit of the students. The school board this year has taken care of the mechanics and basics of the running of a school. This year two students, Deb Peters and Ron Hilgart, took part in the discussions at the school board meetings. Meetings were held on the third Monday of every month. At the meetings, school budgets, school funding, and financial status were discussed. Few people realize the importance of the secretaries within our school. Mrs. Heisler, secretary to the principal, takes care of make-up slips, lunch counts and the business end of the principal’s job. Also, recording of student grades and student absentees is part of her job. Mrs. Heisler works hard to support the decisions of the principal. Mrs. Erickson is the secretary to Mr. Frokjer, the Superintendent of Schools. Also located in the Superin- tendent’s office is the bookkeeper, Ms. Jehn. Both these secretaries have furthered school functions. (BELOW) Velda Heisler, Secretary to the Principal. (BELOW) l oretta Jehn, Bookkeeper of Schools.

THE BASIS OF OUR EDUCATION Due no doubt to the strenuous mental exercise of studying for seven hours, students often forget where they last placed their books, or shoes, or folders. It is part of the janitors’ job to deal with these forgotten items as well as many other things that we take for granted during the course of the day. Cleaning up after wrestling, basketball, volleyball, and basketball meets are greatly appreciated by the whole school. Many long hours are spent shoveling snow, painting, and replacing broken equipment at school, also. The cooks provide the students of L.H.S. with delicious breakfasts, noon lunches, and meals for special occa- sions. Hot cereals, toast, orange juice and other foods were prepared for students as well as faculty members at the cost of 10c. We often take their services for granted. Along with food preparation they dust ledges and rails around school. The cooks of L.H.S. are hardworking, and the students and faculty are proud to have them.

Bus drivers trans- ported students to and from school each day. Also, they drove buses to various field trips, wrestling matches, volleyball, basketball, football, and baseball games, as well as track and gymnastics meets and music festival trips. Keeping on schedule and pleasing many people is not always an easy job. The students would like to thank you for your effort. 22 (ABOVE) Cooks: O. Hickey, G. Schneider, A. Balzar, V. Michalski.

The Park Falls area is most satisfactory because it is so close to the many ski resorts, along with the many points of interest to him. Like most people, Mr. Kittock enjoys traveling a great deal throughout the various parts of the U.S. Being a photography teacher, travel fits in just perfectly.
