I I MR. FERGUSON When the students of Lincoln High first entered Lin- coln this year, there was a noisy buzzing of conversation. Among the things most talked about was this question: I wonder how things will be with Fergie as principal. Every- one knew him as the friendly and well-liked counselor and teacher at Lincoln but never as the principal, Mr. Edward Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson graduated from Spring Arbor Seminary, Spring Arbor, Michigan. He received an A.B. degree from Wayne University and a degree of Master of Arts from U. of D. He feels that Lincoln students should have a more business-like attitude in school. Mr. Ferguson also reports continued planning for extra-curricular participa- tion and more student activities. In September when Mr. Ferguson first began his new duties as principal, he gave this message to the Lincoln Students: I wish to express special greetings to our new ninth graders, to students new to the school district, and to our ex-service men. You may feel strange for a few days, but when you become acquainted with Lincoln High, its teachers, your fellow-students, and all that our school stands for, we know you will be proud to be one of the gang.
