Whert Council Bluffs lligh School became Abraham Lincoln High, the school on the hill received more than a great name. Wfe students received an ideal for youthful ambitions-all the virtues of Lincoln to live up to in our everyday life and conduct: the searching curiosity of self-education, farsighted vision, kindness for the less fortunate, self-sacrificing leader- ship, achievement with humility, patient wisdom, and integrity. That the spirit of Lincoln pervades our school is demonstrated in such tangible things as statuary and paintings, shown on this page, and in such subtle and elusive things as a literature student meeting the mind of Lincoln in the Second Inaugural Address, or a boy on the football held learning to measure up to the manliness and leadership of Lincoln.

Amnmaws, Secretary lt is very fitting and proper that this year's annual be dedicated to the man for whom our school is named-Abraham Lincoln. On August 15, 1859, Abraham Lincoln declared that Council Bluffs would be the terminus of a new Pacific railroad. A memorial to Lincoln's visit is located on a high bluff overlooking the Missouri River and bottom lands, but an even greater memorial to this unique man is our high school which bears his name. Abraham Lincoln once said, 'Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it.' Lincoln's words are just as true today as they were a hundred years ago, for he remains a spokesman and a symbol of the highest American ideals. ln a period of unrest in the world and confusion at home we must all - like Lincoln - have the moral fortitude to stand at all times for the things we believe are right.
