WV 4,,k, K M H f x ,,,,, ,inn ,W A, ,, ,, gt.-1 ii ?1a3txi.:ta ,,4.i. ' Fl A sfiyvfrf ifsrwiifaiavatfi GREETINGS It is a pleasure and a privilege as chief executive of the City of Manitowoc to extend to the graduates of the l929 class of the Lincoln High School the congratulation to which you are entitled upon successfully completing four years of varied studies in the high school. The citizenry in general will be pleased to welcome you into their fold with a sense that you have successfully undertaken the first major activity of what we all hope will be fruitful and useful lives in the community in which you now reside or in which you may choose to live. The United States owes its position in the world to the native intelligence of its citizens and to the educational facilities of the present generation. Your four years of high school work have given you an opportunity to learn the importance of concentrationg they have given you an insight into the tremendous importance of constantly training yourself for the vocation or avocation which you may choose to follow. Officially, and in many cases, personally, the high school graduate is looked upon as the hope of the future. The successful completion of four years of work has shown the necessity for not re- sorting to snap judgement, and it has shown that the things that matter should concern nothing but the mind. lt is all important to weigh things and to arrive at the root of the problem before yielding to persuasion or to the emotions. Q You, who are now entering upon the threshold of manhood and womanhood, know that your four years of high school learning have been merely preparatory for the constant concentration and study which you must continue to follow in all the years of your life. Those years which you have passed through have been fruitful in the forming of personal bonds of friendship, of esteem, and of unswerving faith in your classmates and your future compatriots in the life of the community. Expenditures for education in the City of Manitowoc represent nearly one-third of all the expenses incurred by the city and the expenditures are approved by the vast majority of the cit- izenry as a means of giving the youth ofthe city an opportunity to open life's battle on a basis of equality, second to none in Wisconsin. lt is my personal hope that all of the graduates of 1929 will continue to practice what they have so ably started in pursuing their courses of study to secure the coveted diploma, soon to be awarded. My personal congratulations are extended to each and every one of you. 3 i A winding walk leads up theihill. . . ,, , , ,,,, V. ,.., ,, .. ,,-...,.. YY W, ' - .,.M,. ,, -. , W ,. ...,...,...,.. ....

' ' L 'U'- PUBLIC EDUCATIGN America represents departure from the traditional in practically every field of activity. ln no field is this more pronounced than in education. ln harmony with the principles cherished in the Declaration of Independence and embodied in the Constitution of the United States, the idea of universal free public education for the masses has grown and prospered until today it is heralded as the foundation upon which we must build for our future security. Along with our vast natural resources that have contributed to our phenomenal industrial development, the liberal public school program of America has made possible a degree of happiness and joy in living unprecedented in the world. The members of the Board of Education represent the people in the field of public school education. Knowing that they have the custody of the children for such a large part of their working hours, it becomes increasingly imperative if they are to prove worthy custodians that they provide the best possible educational program which will make provision for high health standards, broad and accurate training of the mind, and wholesome and well balanced character building. The Board of Education stands for the best educational program possibly consistent with the community's ability to pay. They realize that such a program will make a greater Man- itowoc. lt is fitting that this year book should give attention to the industries of Manitowoc. There is a close relationship between industrial growth and education. With the raising of the general level of living, the demands for the products of industry grow by leaps and bounds. What is it that has contributed most to the unusual development of American industry? While there are a num- ber of factors involved, it is conceded by most industrial leaders that Americas educational pro- gram, which gives equal opportunity to the masses, lifting the whole population to higher and high- er standards of living, is the chief factor. There is a direct relation between the growth of the American public schools and the growth and prosperity of our people. May those who are responsible for the schools strive to continue this relation. Board of Education Sunset Fourteen Q . ,, , B , . F if Y Jff5if3i7E?f E?
