F oreword You are about to share with us, the Bumblebees of Lincoln High, the memories of our Golden Yeari We, the Bumblebee staff of 1965-66, have worked diligently in making this book possible. We believe that without labor nothing prospers. Because we know that distant scenes are brought nearer to our understanding by pictures, we have collected for your enjoyment interesting scenes of our school life All of the scenes used will show the worth of good illustrations. Never look at a picture just to see how pretty it may be; always look at it for the increased understanding it gives you of the scene or story it illustrates From the beautiful autumn leaves to the blooming June flowers, this has been the time interval of a typical year at Lincoln. There is a spirited interest in our school from the itty- bitty Freshmen to the mighty, mighty Seniors. There are challenges at Lincoln from our individual academic studies to our many extra-curticular activities. In the following pages we have depicted typical happenings at our home, the home of the 1496 mighty purple and gold buzzing, stinging Bees. The hive has been burst. The Bees are your guides through this picturesque view of Lin- coln High School during our Golden Year. eEDITORS
