Dear Lincoln Dear Lincoln: During my year at Lincoln I made many friends. I really think that Lincoln is a great school because the board, the teachers, and the students are sensational. Thank you for what I learned not only during my classes but also between classes, after school or during the school events. Love from Belgium Andree Markus My Friends at Lincoln: I must say that my year with you has been the greatest experience in my life! You have made me feel welcome in your school and in your community. Please call me when you come to Munich - I will try to help you to know MY country.

Carol Holm Senior, Waitress at Lemon Tree Southtown Center. What does your job mean to you? Debbie Benites Senior, Swimming teacher at the Y.W.C.A. What does your job mean to you? VmLm t It means meeting new people everyday, taking over a great deal of responsibility and trying to please every customer so that I make money in tips. A waitress doesn’t usually get very much money so she must make money from tips. The best way to do this is to please the What is this job preparing you for? This job prepares me by teaching me to work with people, and how to take criticism, and to be responsible. It means teaching and watching children of all ages, I especially like 2-3 year olds. I learn how kids learn and how they develop mentally as well as physically, by the way we teach them at the Y. We find new methods from parents also. It also is better qualifying me to work independently and to learn how to associate with kids of all ages. M Mike Benz Senior, Works at Town Drug. Do you find it hard to work and go to school at the same time? Diane Teeters Senior, Hostess at Henrici’s. Is it difficult to go to school and work at the same time? y A conflict always arises between work and school. It always seems when I have a test in class, I have to work the night before. But I always seem to get by. A bad grade in a class is usually from personal neglect to study. I think with many jobs, students find it relatively easy to handle. Teenagers have to work to survive in their future excursions. Why am I working? I need money and the experience. The money for transportation, personal usage, and savings. Experience so I am ready to handle other jobs in the future without complete ignorance. No, I have found that spacing out my time works well. My senior class load is not too difficult. My classes don't really require that much studying. As far as not being able to participate in school activities, I have found no problems. I am president of Abes Babes, I work on the yearbook staff. I can usually work activities around my schedule at Henrici's. I was able to attend all of Lincoln's hockey and soccer games. Hockey and soccer are the only varsity sports which I am really interested in. The only disadvantage in going to school and working, is that I don’t spend much time with my family and my bedroom floor hasn't been seen since September 3. Job Opinion 25

Our cheerleaders have changed appearance. Oh - we're on next. Pep Fests Remember those half hour periods in the middle of the day when everyone got together in the gym to watch the Pep Fests? The first one was the traditional bum on sophomores pep fest, which juniors and seniors thoroughly enjoyed. Diapers and pacifiers were tossed at them, and Dr. Stever even got in the act. At different times throughout the year the bruinettes and cheerleaders traded places for the day, cheerleaders became elves, and sophomores, juniors, and seniors had several races, (the seniors won all of them, of course). The cheerleaders spent hours practicing skits to perform for the school, and the bruinettes worked hard to show us new dances. After the Battle Cry, a tribute to the teams, and the school song, everyone was ready and in high spirits for that night’s games. Show me tome spirit! Pep Fest skits are getting better. Victory lor our teams! Oh! I love you Bear! Is this what goes on in the gym over vacation? Pep Fest 27
