TAKING A STEP rcrward D oors opened this year in both campuses with many new, challenging and exciting ideas for students and faculty. Upperclassmen returned to 1983-84 term with feelings of leadership and a sense of accomplishment of past years and the year that was ahead. “This year I’ve set a lot of goals for myself. I believe with the atmosphere that sur- rounds the school, I’ll achieve all of them,” said Teri Smith, senior. For 366 students, the largest number of freshmen in recent years, it meant stepping into new ways of thinking about their life, achievements and ideals. There were many un- familiar faces, but one face was very familiar to them. That face was of Dr. William Love, previously the dean of South Campus for the past five years. “It is good to have someone already familiar with us,” said Delecia McConnell, freshman. Dean Love’s shoes were filled quite adequately by Ms. Linda Herrin, the first female prin- cipal in Lincoln’s history. Of the academy’s many ad- vancements one was student limitation on the number of absences and tardies they were allowed before a parent-teacher conference was set or automatic suspension. Another addition was U.S.S.R. (Uninterrupted Silent Sustained Reading) a program in which students read or wrote in one class each day. Jaclyn Kennedy Theme 3
