Lumcoilmiam 2 ■ ' C Editorial To Our Friends Ah, dear teachers, many a time have you shaken your heads in despair and grief as you unwill- ingly placed the marks of our indolence on our records. Many a time were you tempted to give us more than our just desserts so that our hearts would not be broken. We feel, however, that we have given you much joy by achieving wonderful things in our scholarship, athletics, and literary undertakings. Dear Teachers, it may seem at times that your labors were in vain, and that we reflected none of your untiring zeal in our behalf. But not so. From you, we have received some of our most wonder- ful impressions and influences and soon, we hope, you will point to us and say that we, who shall have accomplished such wonders in days to come, were some of your best beloved and most capable pupils you ever had the honor to instruct. We leave you for higher fields, but our hearts and best wishes re- main yours forever. And now, most Honorable Juniors, we relinquish our seats to you, both gladly and sorrowfully. May we so have inspired you that you will begin the last stretch of your journey with eagerness and enthus- iasm remembering that at the end of the year, you will reap the results of your labor. We also tenderly leave to your care our beloved advisors, Miss Brydie, Mr. Marsden, Mr. Westmoreland, Mrs. Goss, and Mr. Bluford., knowing that under their guidance you must lead in every activity of the school. If at any time, you prove unworthy of your trust, our spirits shall return and haunt you unmercifully. And you, Sophomores, knowing that you are wiser than we, we have very little to say. But as we remember so clearly our joys and sorrows, we know that you will finish your course even better than we. But to our youngest brothers, The Freshmen, we extend our most heartfelt love, and interest. You have successfully finished the beginning of this wonderful journey. As you travel the remaining three years in the Pullman, Lincoln, under the watchful care of the Conductor, the Faculty, remember that we shall be at the end waiting for you and we shall joyfully aid you make your connections to whatever point you proceed further. We know you shall make finer and better Seniors than we, but there is noth- ing but reverence in our hearts for you. And may the entire student body expend its mightiest efforts to make Lincoln a larger and better school. May you never forget, the prime reason for your attending Lincoln, and may you work faith- fully every day in the endeavor to make yourselves better men and better women of a generation so soon to take its place in the onward movement of world activities. REGINALD F. FISHER, ’25. There have been a great many well-founded criticisms concerning the locality in which our high school is situated. It is true that because of its surroundings, the need of pure air — air untainted by the uncleanliness of irresponsible people, morally and physically, is often felt. The young boys and girls attending Lincoln, however, are given a very good opportunity to show their true caliber. They should be strong enough to successfully withstand the many temptations placed in their pathway. Now is your opportunity to show whether you have the ability to shoulder your responsibilities, for it is a great responsibility to combat these immoral forces. You can win and thereby show yourselves worthy of the clean and wholesome environment due you. Let us think about it and fight these forces of evil together. REGINALD F. FISHER, ’25.
