The Best One Yet! S-O-U-L. We got soul! ‘‘You’re stepping on my dress!' The word Homecoming conjures up images of togetherness and celebration. The corridors of Lincoln Academy were draped in blue and gold, and plastered with pictures of tigers eating eagles. The pep assembly stirred the feeling of competition for the impending football game. A gala array of paraders marched down Woodland Avenue exhibiting a portion of the talent that Lincoln Academy has in abundance. The always exciting football game was followed with the crowning of the King and Queen and their court at halftime. Afterwards, the band played Backstabbers . Homecoming activities were culminated with the dance back at L.A.. which was packed with jubilant fans! But Homecoming is more than celebration. For some, it is a time for a resurgence of pride in school. For others, it is a time to put talent on display. Still, others expend their best effort in being the most enthusiastic fans. There’s always a place and a task for everyone. Homecoming, this third year of Lincoln Academy, was the best one yet! Both North and South Campuses were in high gear! Spirits soared and bubbled over as the L.A. Blue Tigers tromped over the Central Blue Eagles, 19-0! Lincoln Academy returned home triumphant, as we had taken ’one step further’. 15 Royalty, regally attired The time has finally come . . .

Halloween Festivities As Kansas City carried on a normal business day, Lincoln Academy, North was being invaded by beings not of this world. On October 30, the Drama department threw a Masquerade Jam to earn money for their up-coming projects. Thanks to Ms. Rivette and her classes, the halls were filled with cowboys, space creatures and Shakespearean characters, all heading for the masquerade in the gym. Prizes were offered for the best costumes. The decision was tough, but Lance Malone was declared the winner in his space bounty hunter costume, and Ronald (Flip) Mize took second place in his Incredible Hulk disguise. As the North Campus was being overrun by witches, the South Campus was going pumpkins! A contest was held through the MST’s to determine the best jack-o’-lantern. Pumpkins resembled everything from businessmen and cowboys to cats and space creatures. Everyone involved had lots of fun in the 'designer pumpkin’ display of talent. 17
