'gun-H PRESIDENT DOOLEY Dear Students: How pleasant it will be in a season of years to flick the pages of time back today. This book will help you to recall the freshness and brash- ness of your youth. You will laugh again about the things the Dean never found out, and wonder anew about what you did in class, since learning is transitory and fades with new experiences. Little things sometimes last the best and your freshest memory might be things trivial and insignificant. This, my freshman year at LincolnCollege, has been a most memorable experience. I am thankful that you have been so patient as we tried to solve the problems of this some- times troublesome job. For all of us, faculty, students, and administration, it has been a year of learning together. If your lives are happier as a result of your experience here and if your success is greater because of the train- ing which you have reoeived, then we will be content in knowing that we, in a small way, have helped. X Wa Dear Students: The years, 1956-58, have been the most memorable in the modern history of Lincoln College. This year our freshmen men lived in a new modern dormitory for the first time in Lincoln College history. Also during these years the renovation of University Hall has been vir- tually completed. Our enrollment as this is written is the largest in the history of the College and I sincerely believe we have the finest group of students as well as the largest group ever assembled on the College campus. 'I want to take this opportunity to thank students and faculty alike for the superb coopera- tion which has generally characterized this per- iod. l congratulate the members of the Lynxite staff for the excellent work that has been done on this volume and I know that students will treasure this in years to come as a storehouse of memories of college days that you will want to relive in later years. Those of you who are leaving this June are hereby extended a cordial invitation to return to the campus early and often in the years to come. Best wishes to all of you. 'V . DE AN LOOS frfrflwf'

l L- For nine years a frail white-haired woman listened to the trials and tribulations of more than two hundred girls. The problems ranged from an unco-operative roommate to very serious home problems or troubled romances. The problems might have ultimately been trivial, but at the time they came up they were important to the individuals con- cerned. Even as the years went on, girls leaving Harts Hall did not forget the woman who had given them her time and counsel. Though they left, the majority wrote letters and cards, and occasionally stopped to visit if they were in the vicinity. And until not very long ago she was able to answer them. Ma Hensley is remembered not only by her girls, but also by the boys of Lincoln College. More than one girl had to wait while her date finished talking to the house- mother. Recently when she had fallen down stairs, several boys offered to donate their blood. Her room was bombarded by flowers, candy, and cards from students. lf Ma Hen's girls enter the sitting room of Harts Hall, they can easily visualize her sitting in her tall grey chair, listening to her radio. She is every inch a lady and they are proud to have had her as their part-time mother and hostess. Like a mother she entertained their friends, and made the girls keep the law of the house. But most of all she demanded their respect and admiration. This was the lady of the house, Mrs. Hensley, and it is to her that this book is dedicated.
