R SAVINGS STAMPS 22, 1942, the Kiwanis Key Club, under the able sponsorship of announced that a booth for selling war savings stamps would be the first floor hall of our school. A few days after the announcement, who would have formerly spent their money for candy and cokes now invested their dimes, quarters, and dollars in their future-for we, the students of Lincoln High School, realize that this war is going to affect, drastically, the course of our future lives. As we look at the determined eyes and at the staunch figure of the minute man, pictured on the face of the war stamp, we realize how our forefathers fought to save this democracy for us, and we also realize that soon-yes, very soon-many of our carefree classmates will be fighting with the same determination and staunchness to preserve that democracy for the future. We students have privileges of which the Nazi-held youth of European schools haven't the least conception. YVe have been encouraged to indulge in competitive sports, thereby increasing a feeling of sportsmanship and fellowship, we have been permitted to think for ourselves and to develop alert, inquiring minds, we have been urged to feel good humored and trusting toward one another. America means so much to us in both the little things and big things that make our way of life. Thus, as high school students, we must all do our share to preserve America-our America with its free class-room discussions and its football games and its hot dog stands and its Mickey' Mouse and its Irving Berlin songs and all the other simple, human things that we young Americans have grown to love. mn, E.. 2' :L

VIEWS Lincoln High School Facade High School. To many, these mean a rambling structure with an facade that rises over Crescent Avenue. some, it is one of the impressive landmarks of the town, to be proudly shown to visitors. To others, it is a mere building. But to us students it is something more. It is where we spend four long years of our lives. It is where we go 180 days of the year to learn new things, laugh, play, and make friends. And perhaps it will he even more greatly appreciated by those who know they must leave prematurely to attend to a matter of pressing importance. Since the auditorium was first erected in 1925, a lawn, trees, and shrubs have been added until it is one of the most attractive schools in the vicinity. It is the pride of its students and a worthy monu- ment to learning.
