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.

I.im:nln's Facult When you who are graduating now came to Lincoln High School as new students, you we.re greeted cordially and helped in many ways as you became acquainted. You im- mediately began to feel the warmth and friendliness of your new school and were happy to realize that although the school was large there was in it a feeling of personal regard for you. Since then you have taken your turn at welcoming other new students, and have. done your part in keeping Abraham Lincoln High School a place where people like to be and where students and teachers enjoy working and playing together. After Education-Business Day this spring one of the guests wrote that the most impressive thing he observed on his visit at Lincoln was, to use his own words, the spirit of friendliness that emanated from everyone, teachers and pupils alike. Another visitor wrote, The outstanding thing in my mind was the enthusiasm and friendly effort to make us feel at home. We are pleased at such comments as these for they show that the spirit of good will in our school is evident to observers. Best wishes to you graduates of Fall 1951 and Spring 1952. You will remain a part of the Lincoln family, and we hope that you will visit us often. The warm interest your school has for you will continue through the years. J. B. HILL Principal
