See to It Lest you Try Aught to Corneal T the entrance of our beautiful high school, four, tall, stately pillars stand. Around these, on the walks below, hundreds of pupils assemble daily to converse together while awaiting the school hour. As we gather thus and discuss our affairs, have you ever wondered how we might appear to others listening and watching us unaware? O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us to see oursels as ithers see usll' as Burns poetically puts it. Fancy that these four lofty columns secretly observe our acts and harken to our words. What tragedies, comedies, faults, and joys they could whisper among themselves during their nightly vigil! Poor pillars! You cannot express your opinions or state your desires. No, you must drink in the flow of our tongues, consume the food of our actions, and attempt to digest them. If thus these supports derived their nourishment, how long would they remain standing? Would they have decayed and crumbled long since with the poisoning diet of our selfishness, pettiness, rudeness, and ignorance? Or would they obtain lasting fortitude built up by our little daily acts of kindness, consideration, and school spirit? Figuratively speaking, what are you contributing daily to these great monuments, the backbone of our Alma Mater?

T imc ll9l Sees and l-lears All, and Will All Reveal INUOLN High School, held in high esteem by each student, is noted for its progressiveness, its school spirit, its architectural beauty, and its opportunity for student character development. A public address system, a course in vocational guidance, and assem- blies featuring professional talent, make our school life more interesting, comprehensive, and up-to-date. Our public address system contacting is used not only for important administrative announce- also for dances, football games, and even World Series every room ments but scores. We students find that vocational guidance is an assistance in teaching us adequately the rudiments of etiquette, leadership, and the planning of our future careers. Our paid assemblies present magicians, musicians, and even unique lecturers as Mr. Monoghan a blind man. The fact that we have a spirit of rivalry and good sportsmanship is apparent by the large student attendance at all sport events. The beauty of our Alma Mater is Widespread. The structure of the school itself, the well-planned landscaping, and the colorful inner court, blend together to form a high school campus of which we may be proud. Being a student of Lincoln High School instills in us such virtues as faithfulness, integrity, a desi1'c for knowledge, and honesty-those sterl- ing qualities of Abraham Lincoln in whose honor our school is named.
