Elurrmnrh T PRESENT to you in a tangible, graphic form a small idea of the program of mass aesthetic appreciation which Abraham Lincoln High School has perfected in the last decade is our chief pur- pose in this year's book For four full years here We live in an atmosphere of the best in music and art. Greatly adding to our school's equipment for carrying out this ideal are the Carnegie Art and Music Teaching sets, including libraries of excellent books and records, and an unusual art exhibit. The Carnegie Foundation gifts have been obtained in the last two years by the efforts of Principal G. W. Kirn. Besides approximately 840 reproductions of art in the library gift, and 650 records in the music set, more than 100 reproductions of paintings and statuary, friezes and medallions, grace our halls and classrooms. The aesthetic appe-al of our school is our chief pride. K D

The school administration of Council Bluffs has planned and Worked to make its school buildings veri- table centers of fine arts in themselves. We see this in our halls, beautified With excellent copies of old master- pieces, we see it in the extensive art research library and music recording library, We see it in the emphasis placed on music, art, dramatics, and literature in the curric- ulum. - Little by little We are fashioned into the image of all We have seen and heard, known and meditatedf' says Spalding. If We learn to live with all that is fairest and purest and best, the love of it all Will in the end become our very life. CFD
