LHS Celebrates 5 Lincoln High School celebrated Abe’s birthday in style this year. On February 12, the school opened its doors to over 1200 people who drudged through sloppy, damp, and foggy weather to help celebrate Lincoln's fifth anniversary in the new building and to be present for the unveiling of the refurbished Abe. Every area of the school was open between 1:30 and 4:30. The visitors toiled on the new computers and watched the drama club, debate and forensics members perform. The industrial arts, homeec, business, and phys- ical education departments sponsored various demon- strations. The library, newspaper, yearbook, and tutoring program had displays. The parenting class offered free babysitting, HERO ran a coffee shop, and the EEN Club sold popcorn and pop. The Social Studies Pep Club presented the Atomic Cafe for the adults and cartoons for the kids. The foreign lan- guage department showed travel slides from France, Ger- many, and Mexico. The visitors had the opportunity of a lifetime — a ride on a school bus. Dianne Lau explained her reason for riding on the bus, “I have a five year old who wants to be a bus driver. After the ride Lau said, “It’s really neat they includ- ed this in the schedule of events” Preparations for Lincoln Day began in February of 1983 with Shari Marsden as coordinator. Marsden explained, “Timothy Laatsch and I bounced the idea around various faculty members. We soon decided the idea could become a reality and the planning began.” Comments about the school included, “Impressed,” “Fine building, and “Superb.” Carol Allworden stated, “I think that students are very fortunate to have the facilities that they do. They should take the opportunity to take advantage of them all that they can.” “Through hard work and great cooperation of adminis- tration, faculty, and students, Lincoln Day was a day we can all be proud of, ” expressed Marsden. Visitors to Lincoln had the opportunity to experience several aspects of school life.

Fire On Ice Week Halts Winter Blahs This year 's Fire on Ice was made extra special by a student-faculty basketball game which was held on Wednesday of that week. The on-court action was exciting with the lead changing hands virtually every minute, but the faculty prevailed 54-51 in the end. The off-court action was also intense as the students, with the help of an undying kazoo band, showed tre- mendous support for their team by outcheering the aging but vivacious faculty cheerleaders. The week 's activities came to a close with the Fire on Ice dance, held on Saturday night, January 21, from 7:30 to 11:30. Music was provided by JTR Sound Productions who donned their tuxes for the occasion. Upper left: With spunk and courage.
