ECQFCQKYGD ' 0 No man is an island, entire of itself, said John Donneg and as truly may it be said that no school is an institution entire of itself. A school is an inseparable part of the commlmity in which it is situated, and of that community's past history, its present activities, and its future hopes. How fortunate are the schools of Portland, Oregon, that they exist in a city which for over one hundred years has believed in and supported public education. How fortunate is Lincoln High School, in particular, that it receives such friendly support from its immediate neighborhood, and that it enjoys the continued and enthusiastically expressed interest and goodwill of its thousands of graduates not only in the community but scattered throughout the world.
