 1 Secretaries M«. Mikkelson registered e LHS student. Once again the laborious and detailed task of registration was upon us. But w© grinned and tried to bear it. We stood in o seem- ingly endless line for a small yel- low card to fill out. Remember how fun it was to bring to mind those so-often used statistics: like what is your doctor's telephone number, what was your mother's occupation before she was a sen- ior in high school, and whom do you contact in case you forgot those important facts. Then came that little stack of forms to fill out and bring back before the end of the year. Insurance blanks, locker combinations, class schedules, lunch schedules, handbooks, ID cards, sports sched- ules, health forms, li- brary manuals and Recipes for Grandma Lumpette's Baked Beans were among the numerous piles of material given to us. Mrs. Thurston typod class schedules. Mrs. Trimble Miss Holbrook And where were we ever going to put art receipts, shop receipts, craft receipts, book receipts, equipment receipts, printing re- ceipts, elevator usage receipts, and student activity receipts? But Lincoln students had no fear; we knew that our ever faith- ful and helpful office secretaries would bring us through another mass-registration without many se- rious casualties. This year we could again report that there were no casualties any more serious than a boy being scheduled into a sixth-hour KNITTING module and one senior girl having a phy ed locker assigned to her in the BOY'S varsity locker room. Mrs. Trimble distributed teacher manuals. Mrs. Mansur Mrs. Thurston Mrs. Mikkelson 12

 He always spurred ui on . . . one way or another. And these were his boys. He was always proud of us . . . especially when we won for him. Ho was dovotod. When wo played, ho rover gavo up hope. He was always roady to givo us the encpurogemor.t wo needed. Whenevor Mr. Cochran spoke, wo listened. The 1968 BEAR is dedicated to Mr. Darrell 'Shorty' Cochran. Most people remember Shorty” as a former football star with the Golden Gophers of Minnesota, bu.t many Bloomington students remember him as a physical education teacher who made his classes so in- teresting that his boys could never forget him. How- ever. he will be most remembered by all for his ex- ceptional coaching and leadership. He inspired players on every team he coached to do their best. He was less interested in their won-loss record than in how they played the gome. He expected enthusiasm and fair play from his players, and he thereby gained their respect. Mr. Cochran left LHS to work for Taylor Publishing Co. Thank you. Shorty, for your instruction, your example and your dedication to all of us. II
