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.
