LINCOLN ACADEMY, 1981 ‘‘Progress and growth are impossible if you always do things the way you’ve always done things.”

ROLL CALL Roll Call 1981 at Lincoln Academy, North and South, found more than the usual ado as some 1,300 students made their way from class to class. More than the after-summer reunion with old friends, and the getting-to-know-you sessions with new acquaintances, was an indication that a very remarkable school year was about to be recorded in the history-book of Lincoln. Patrons of the school district were no longer wondering if Lincoln could make the Magnet concept work. The pessimists were saying: “We didn’t mean it wouldn’t work the first year.” Others with greater vision, like Sharon Jones, a junior, were summing up the Academy this way: “It gets better and better every year!” Many faculty and staff members were saying that there were many positive experiences that had come together to generate a momentum that could take the Academy through a successful year. Making references to some of these experiences, Ms. Pat Hawkins said, “Our high percentage of retention, the fact that we went over our projected non-minority enrollment of 17.5%, by 4%, we are having positive feed-back from parents, and 50% of the present 7th grade class being non-minority, are just a few of the positive factors responsible for the sense of success.” True enough, students pay little attention to statistics about the school; however, the spirit and sense of movement were contagious. There was a new enthusiasm and a new spirit among faculty, staff and students. As one student said, ”... maybe more pride in our school.” Whatever the reason may be, this enthusiasm was to set the stage for an exciting and productive school year. At the close of the first few weeks, the unwritten headlines for 1981 should read as follows: “Lincoln Academy answers ‘present’ to 1981 Roll Call and proudly announces that we have moved the Magnet program in the past two years, and it is our goal to move the Academy ‘one step further’ for the year 1981.” 4
