Des Mobies y Iowa June ig 6 headers of Integrity Face Your Problems and March! Graduation from high school is a step in the right direc- tion. Many problems have been initiated, studied, and developed under the direction of your instructors. It might prove fatal to stop now, but if you continue training in the field of your choice, you will be well paid, whatever the price. Face your problems and march . . . others have gone over the top.— AARON C HUTCHENS, Principal. friends Always JQcp You now belong to a group of high school graduates called Amer- ican Youth. Economic, mental, personal, politi- cal, racial, religious, social, vocational and other problems are yours. The first found- ations of your life were laid in your home, church, and school. May I, in the building of your larger lives, wish that each of you use the best within his command, and remind you that friends always keep.— SUSAN B. HILL, Dean of Girls. SUSAN B. HILL, Dean of Girls enior Student Ideal of Integrity Representing Abraham Lincoln ' s ideals of integrity in business, J. Russell Anderson, director in merchandising and sales classes, is a senior student ideal. J. R., as he is familiarly known to students and faculty, is a graduate of the State University of Iowa and taught in the State Experimental High School of that university. Mr. Anderson ' s past business experience, combined with his present practice in the field of selling, makes his classwork doubly interesting to the student. This same ideal and integrity are carried into Anderson ' s service to Lincoln High school. Classes and groups of senior students under his direction have carried on successful proj- ects in selling, thus rendering a service to the school. On the basis of Anderson ' s recommendation, worthy students have been able to secure employment. AARON C. HUTCHEXS, Principal. J. R. ANDERSON. Instructor in Commercial Subjects
