Grad policies altered This year's board of trustees was made up of President Richard lVlaslow, Vice-President Claudia Landeen and Trustees Frances Abbott, Phillip Dunn, and Donald Riggio, who served as clerk. Senior Stuart Gaffney served as stu- dent trustee, and Superintendent Tod Anton was secretary to the board. As student trustee, Gaffney's main responsibility was to keep the board informed of activities at Lincoln. Gaffney attended a fall conference in San Francisco where trustees and administrators from all over California gathered. Gaffney commented, The best part of the conference was to meet other student trustees and learn how they interac- ted with their boards. Gaffney also attended a spring conference in which he took part in two presentations. The board revised graduation requirements for Llncoln students. As of next year, students will be required to have 60 credits per year in their first three years.

Welin institutes school improvement Principal Dean Welin spent a busy year institut- ing improvements that will lead Lincoln into the l980's and beyond. The major emphasis for this year has been school improvement. This office has been coord- inating the Site Council, which has been responsi- ble for school improvement, said Welin. This has led to a very positive attitude toward improving the school. Welin cited greater awareness of school problems among students, teachers, parents, and administra- tors as a major accomplishment of the year. Activ- ities such as Human Relations Day and lnservice Days were responsible for the improvement. We also focused on preparing for minimum competency testing to fulfill the Hart Bill, said Welin. Students showed great improvement after taking the test in February. When asked about how he liked his job, Welin enthusiastically replied, l enjoy it. lt's a challeng- ing job and the expectations are incredible. The challenge is to pull l90O students, 80 teachers, par- ents, and administrators into one cohesive unit. The kids here are fantastic. l am very lucky to be at Lincoln, and l wouldn't want to be principal anywhere else. Principal ..-. l '11, if G 1 , -, ., 4 H r . '.
