Ambitious individuals of each generation inevitably choose peers of past times as their idols and seek to at- tain the heights reached by them. Such universally known characters as Washing- ton, Col. Young, Dunbar, and L’Overture in life and even in death, have been always honored by a lusty band of followers and worshippers. Even Lincoln High School in its few years of existence has been visited by men and women who have left careers and person- alities never to be dimmed by time. Oh, ye Lincolnites, while passing down the corridors of our school how many times have you cast about a casual glance and have met the friendly, ever smiling face of Miss Anna Jones, the staid countenance of Prof. Lee or the conscientious features of Prof. Gresham beaming down Upon ou ? These beloved former teachers and prin- cipals by their past work and untiring ef- forts for our youths developed characters worthy of emulation by the Lincolnite of today. Of course, these individuals are not dead but they are not with us today, so what could be more appropriate than these living images of noble character should now adorn our halls? (May these paintings ever remain an in- separable part of Lincoln and may the faces they hold forever beam down their rays of inspiration into the very souls of every boy and girl who enters the portals of Lincoln! “Lives of great men oft remind us, We can make our lives sublime And departing leave behind us Footprints in the sands of time.” Roland Scott, ’ 27 .
