Since Lincoln opened in 1923, the student body has more than tripled, the faculty has increased by 400%, the administration has changed three times, and the num- ber of courses offered has risen from ten to seventy-seven. Lincoln began as a junior high the first two years, continuing to have seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students until 1967. The first enrollment numbered about 690 compared to more than 2100 students currently enrolled. Lincoln ' s first graduation was in January, 1927, with thirty-four members. Faculty numbers have increased from 29 to 104. Mrs. Edna Bohl- man, an economics teacher, inno- vated the Weeks scholarship fund. Mrs. Bohlman was an example of the extra time faculty gave to the school by carrying out fund raising projects to obtain financing for 13 college scholarships. In 1934, mar- ried women were asked to resign to help the job market during the de- pression, leaving teaching positions to men and single women. Only three administration changes have occurred in Lincoln ' s history. Nathan Weeks, the first principal, was replaced by the vice-principal Aaron Hutchens. Mr. served for twenty-three years being replaced by Melvin in 1958. Weeks before Bowen The playful faculty of 1927 line up for a picture in front of Lincoln (be- low).
