SPECIAL RECOGNITION FOR Mrs. Mabel Moore For Mrs. Moore, “dedication to teaching , has been an ingrained part of her philosophy and her life. Mrs. Moore’s teaching career has spanned 30 years. She began teaching kindergarteners in Illinois State School for Boys. Upon ending her 7 year hiatus in Illinois, Mrs. Moore immigrated to Kansas City and became a reading teaching at Lincoln High School. Mrs. Moore has left an indelible mark on the minds of numerous young people over the past 20 years while she has taught at Lincoln. She has contributed her time and talent in diverse ways. Along with her teaching responsibilities, she has worked on committees — Textbook and Honor Society. She has sponsored the senior class and a Culture Club which grew out of her students’ desire to further their knowledge of their culture and the desire to share their knowledge with others. Since the Academy's inception, Mrs. Moore has chaired the English Department which includes classes in foreign language, and reading. Having spent 30 continuous years as an instructor, Mrs. Moore summarizes her feelings this way: Teaching has been a rewarding career as I've always had a great affection for children and young adults. Watching minds mature and seeing the wonders of learning never fail to delight me. It has made the past 30 years never cease to be a challenge. Every time a st udent comes back to say “thank you , I feel my time has not been wasted.” DEDICATED SERVICE Mr. Fred Coleman Mr. Fred Coleman, a fifteen year veteran teacher at Lincoln, deserves more than a pat on the back. His service of dedication to youth is an impressive one and includes the following: Math teacher, Chairman of the Special Education Department, Sponsor of the senior class, and chairperson of various committees on instruction and discipline. Since the organization of the magnet program, Mr. Coleman has chaired discussion groups, and shared with the faculty his expertise and experience in individualized instruction. He has also sponsored, through Mutual Support Teams, various charity projects. Most recently, he has co-chaired and worked with the North Central Evaluation Committee — a project to which he devoted many long and tiring hours. Mr. Coleman, in summing up, makes mention of his teaching career as an experience that afforded him tremendous opportunity to work with and for many young people on whom he has made an indelible impression. To Mr. Coleman, Mrs. Moore and other teachers as dedicated as they, the Lincolnian staff pays its deepest respect. It is our wish that many students and teachers will continue to learn from the exemplary and professional careers of two very fine teachers.
