-JUNE Q COMMANDER M i936 ADMINISTRATION The Lincoln High School was organized in 1922 with only the ninth grade in attendance. Its first four year class numbering three students was graduated in 1927. Since that small beginning, the institution has grown to include atthe present time a total of over eight hundred in the junior and senior divisions. Lincoln this year became a class B school in size. With facilities designed to take care of but a fraction of that number, in order to handle the great increase in enrollment, a sharp change of policy became imperative. Thus the school day was lengthenedg the senior high school was placed on a basis whQr9- by half of the students had classes in the morning and half in the afternoon, studying being done at home. Study halls, almost value- less because of extreme overcrowding, were abolished. The junior high school still remained for the whole school day, but with larger periods devoted partially to recitation and partially to supervised N study. Our new addition is at last under way and will be completed in time for the fall semester. A complete program of school work will then be possible. The 'Commander' of this year is presented in a different format than preceding ones, this being the first edition with photo-phinish pictures and pages. Miss Harris and the nCommandern staff are to be complimented on its fine composition and Miss Nelson on the typing. To the members of the January and June graduating classes, I wish to extend my heartiest wishes for success. For their fine spirit I am grateful. I also wish to thank the members of the Board of Education for their co-operation and the faculty for their loyalty, sustained effort and interest. Lincoln may well be proud of its past achievements and look with confidence to those of the future. af Superin
