'Will thy songs remain' I shall say. I know not. hut this I know that often when I sang I found my eternity. — agore A FTER twenty-six years of service in the Des Moines school system, over fourteen years of that period having been spent in Lincoln, Mr. Henry Andersen died November 16, 1939. Lincoln's most cherished memories of Mr. Andersen are deeply rooted in the little things—his love and understanding of young people; his inspirational appeals and companionship with the athletic teams; his fourteen-year affection for the school. It is said that our only acquaintance with good must be with the good in people about us. We are told there lives no love but the love of those we know as friends and companions. Lincoln students knew both through the life of Henry Andersen.

r MR AARON C HUTCHENS. Principal MR. EMMETT J. HASTY. Vice-Principal Principal Hutchens . . . Want your classes changed? He strives to please. Tell a tale of woe and he lends a kindly ear. Think you have enough credits to graduate? He can tell you. And he can tell the P.T.A. and the alumni association and the board of education almost anything they want to know about Lincoln high, the friendly school where everybody knows each other. Vice-principal Hasty . His name describes the impression he makes as he goes flying down the hall, hot on the trail of jippers. He is the school's athletic manager v ith the state of the coffers always on his heart. He is principal of the adult evening school; he teaches a science class; and he still finds spirit enough to sing a snatch of something as he goes Hasty-ing around the office.
