The Spirit of Education An educated boy or girl is not alone judged by the grades he made, nor the classes he attended; not by the friends he gathered about him, nor the activities in which he participated. Rather, it is the thinking, the sincerity and the spirit that inspired him to do the above things. — Susan B. Hill, Girls ' Adviser. Class Activities W hat did Seniors do socially 300 years ago?

The Senior Railsplitter ABRAHAM LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL Today ' s Administration Greets the Graduates Toddy ' s Challenge Six years of high school, and now what? Out into a world of confusion and unsolved problems. Not a cheerful prospect, but a real challenge that will call for high purpose, strong courage and a real purpose of service to face the present situation and find the solution of its problems. May you do your part in meeting the challenge of the world of today. — N. H. Weeks, Principal. ouccess To You Graduation — Commencement. What a combination ! A good preparation pushing forward combined with ambi- tion and a desire to make good will succeed. A deficiency in one tends to produce a corresponding loss in the other. The same law holds for achievement. Success to you. — A. C. Hutchens, Vice Principal. 2
