Mr. Gills Mr. King Mr. Knox Miss McKnight Mr. Raschella SCIENCE The Freshmen came in contact with general science, which opened the field of scientific thinking. Mr. Raschella's and Mr. Knox's treatment of the subject encouraged their students to pursue the science courses. Biology, as taught by Mr. King and Mr. Williams, presented to the Sophomores the study of living organisms. Une highlight of this course was the dissection of the frog. The more advanced course of physics, the study of energy and its changes, was introduced to the Juniors. A memorable phase of Miss McKnight's physics course was the individual projects in electricity. Practical science, emphasizing application of physical laws, was offered under the supervision of Mr. Wallace. Chemistry was the final step of science in Lincoln High. ln Mr. Gill's lecture periods and laboratory classes Seniors learned the how's and why's of chemistry.

SENIOR HIGH ENGLISH In a more intense study, senior high students enjoyed a pattern of grammatical rules and world literature which carried them farther into the realm of adulthood. Under the supervision of Mr. Brown and Mr. Taylor, Sophomores experienced a radical change in the pattern of their work, which was brought to a close by Shakespf-are's world-famous Julius Caesarf' WCll-kHOIN'll works of American literature occupied most of the Junior's year. The House of Seven Cables, along with the Shakespearian masterpiece, Hamlet,', as presented by Mrs. McKinney and Mr. Latimer, will remain a vivid high school memory in the minds ofthe students. A general review of knowledge in English was undertaken by Seniors. The study of vocabulary, spelling and grammar as taught hy Miss Cresswell and Miss Douglass completed the English requirement. Highlights of the year included the study of their third Shakespearian work, Macbeth, and original literary attempts in the form of poems and essays, which were submitted for national judging competition.

MATHEMATICS The technical advances produced through mathematics are exemplihed in the modern mode of living. To gain the proper foundation for advanced mathematics, Mrs. Wilson and Mr. Mitchell taught the eighth graders the fundamentals of mathematics and elementary algebra. The absorbing study of algebra I alld II was enhanced by the interesting manner in which Mr. Wilson presented the course. Learning the patterns of plane figures occupied much of the Sophomore's time. Mr. Keller and Mr. Smith made the course pleasurable by applying their knowledge of plane geometry in the classroom. General mathematics was compulsory for any Senior who had not taken any high school mathematics courses. The study of solid geometry and trigonometry opened new doors to science and engineering careers and taught the students the basis for advanced studies. Mrs. H. Wilson Mr.M. Wilson
