We Set Our Sails The Class of Ianuary, 1945 'Twas such a little, little boat That toddled down the bayl 'Twas such a gallant, gallant sea That beckoned it away! DON BROWN, President THOS. ROBINSON, V. Pres. MARIORIE BALLARD, Secy. H. VAN GINKEL, Treas. On a cold Ianuary morning, the year 1939, 214 little 7B's started sailing the sea of high school days in the halls of Lincoln. Now they have become weather-beaten to the duties of the good ship Lincoln only to leave it by graduation. Many changes have taken place in the school as Well as in the hearts and appearances of the 47 who will leave her to sail the sea of a different life, but who will always remain close to the school of which they have grown so fond. Some left early to become members of the armed forces, others are doing war work, a few quit, and several have transferred to other edifices of learning. Yet they'll glide along, keeping as close together as possible. , May Alma Mater always be proud of her crew of able-bodied seamen! sf 1 -S
