Dedicated Te fulfilment ef e Dream We, of the Lincoln Roundup staff of '52, take great pleasure in dedicating our yearbook to David R. Lewis, superintendent of the construction of the new buildings, for working towards the fulfilment of a dream. This dream took shape in 1940, when a new school called Abraham Lincoln High School openedgan un- completed school due to a rearmament program which took all the available steel and other materials. Despite the handicap of no gymnasium-no audito- rium-no little theatre-and no equipped band room, all of which most schools take for granted, students were educated and athletes were developed under makeshift conditions. Through the years this dream has filled the school- a vision of a completed building. Every new class en- tering Lincoln has heard words and promises concern- ing the completion of the building, but as yet, no ful- fillment. In 1948, the Board of Education and Dr. Herbert C. Clish, suprintendent of schools, supported a bond issue which appropriated enough money to finish Lincoln. Then, in 1951, Mr. Lewis came here with carpenters, cranes, nails, and planks. With these, and other mate- rials, he set about to turn our dream into an actuality. Yes, Mr. Lewis, with all gratitude and thanks, we dedicate this book to you, and to the men working un- der you, who are striving towards the realization of our dream.

We gresent The Huundup No! You don't mean that those cuts of the olhcers are lost? What can we do? There isn't time to tal-ce them over again. What happened to the copy for the class activities section? It hasn't been written?? Oh, no!! WRITE IT NOW, AND HURRY! Where are the pictures for the Fall section? We have to have them. These frantic questions and commands, which broke the comparative silence of the third floor each day early in the morning, were voiced by the members of the journal staff they concentrated their efforts on getting the 1951-52 Roundup ready for publication. Their assignment, which has been completed at last, at first seemed to be almost impossible. However, today that staff presents to you, the Lincoln student body, the results of its labors. As the journal was gradually put together and the class watched it develop from a handful of empty pages into a real book, the goals and ambitions of those personally interested in it came into view. With the final cry of let the presses roll the staff sat back and breath- lessly awaited your decision. It is hoped by each member of the staff that this journal will satisfy the requirements of a really great memory book. Although you may never run across many of the people you see pictured in this Roundup, please remember that each and every one had a part in making this past school year one never to be forgotten. We, the journal staff, present the Lincoln Roundup to you in hopes that it will help you recall in future years at least one phase of your unforgettable high school life.
