S erg eant-at- Arms EDITORIAL Just four long years ago, we the members of the senior class, embarked on the good ship Lincoln High School and set sail on a long journey that eventually was to take us to a land which we were determined to reach, that land being to graduate from high school. As the ship nears the end of the journey some one-hundred-and-fifty of us are still aboard while others who embarked with us have for various causes found it necessary to leave the ship before reaching the end of the journey. Each day brings us closer to shore and we can now see land. In just a few more days our journey will have come to an end. There is real joy in the realization that we are so near the port where we will land; having reached our coveted goal. Still there is a cause for sadness when we think of the fact that we will be forced to part from many of the friends that we have formed while we have worked together here at school. We have formed many lasting friendships with the members of our own class and those of the classes that will continue to sail on the ship and last but not least by any means the Captain and his ' personnel (principals and teachers). These last have kept the ship moving and given us the inspiration to stay until we have reached our port. To these all, we say fscrewell with the promise that coming years will find us loyal to the best ideals we have labored to attain. B. Richard Smith, ’30 Page Three

During other years, we have passed other milestones and there are many others to come. We have long awaited the coming of this time. Now that it is here we have reasons to rejoice and reasons for sorrow. We should be happy to know that we are merely a few out of thousands who started on this journey the same time we did and have fallen by the way side. It should be pleasant to know that our scholastic work and discipline have been so satisfactory that as a reward, we shall pass on to higher planes. We should be glad to know that we are the men and the women of tomorrow and that we shall have a chance to apply the truth that we have learned at Lincoln. We may have reasons for a feeling of sorrow. For when we graduate from Lincoln we leave behind schoolmates and teachers; we must part from our fellow classmates nd friends that we have learned to know and to love Harold. Strothers, Editor-in-Chief. 1930
