GOODBYE We came to school, and stayed in sight, We always tried to do what was right, We didn’t ditch class, and stayed out of fights, And we all learned to be Loyal Lincolnites. We spent many a day of joy and pain, But still we all had one good aim; And now as we all have to say goodbye, Our aim is to remember Dear Lincoln High. In behalf of Mr. Cook— A friendly little gent, Our days at Lincoln With him were well spent. In memory of Mr. Ellison, Who was very bright; Said what he meant And knew what was right. And dear Miss Brydie— She was sweet as could be, How one could smile so much Is hard for me to see. And now to our teachers and friends goodbye, Our hearts are burdened, but hopes are high, Accept our wishes and a last goodbye, We’ll never forget Old Lincoln High. —Helen Murdock. DEAR LINCOLN HIGH Upon a hill stands Lincoln High, To be remembered as years go by, For this old class of forty-two, Will wish the very best to you, Dear Lincoln High. When we pass through your open doors, The Juniors will take our place by scores, We hope they’ll strive with all their might, To be very loyal Lincolnites, Dear Lincoln High. And so three years have swiftly passed. We’ve done our best to make them last, For this old class of forty-two, Regrets so much to part from you, Dear Lincoln High. —Marie Sampson. “FAREWELL TO LINCOLN’’ Farewell, dear Lincoln— we all hate to say, But the time has come for graduation day. We have fought by your side through thick and thin, Always making sure that you would win. So this class of ’42 leaves you with a sigh, And will never forget you, dear Lincoln High. —Wilfred Keyes. AN ODE TO LINCOLN Farewell to dear old Lincoln High, Says the class of ’42, To the standards she has led us by, May each of us be true. The time we’ve spent together here Lias meant so much to us, And so in every coming year, We’ll strive to keep your trust. And to the class of ’43, We leave this last request, May you be just as good as we, Or better still, the best. —Yvonne Pollard. SENIOR’S DIARY It can be said after my diary is read, A Senior could have no more to write. But that is untrue. There is plenty to do. You’ll probably be a Senior in a year or two. I come to school Monday, early and bright, I laugh and play with all my might. Then Tuesday comes, my lessons are due, I stare into space and begin to che w. When Wednesday comes, I am caught unaware, I explain to my teacher— he’s very unfair. Thursday is test day, and I’m a mess that day, For an F is my reward. Friday is the last day, a very fast day, Saturday and Sunday come in, too. But then there is nothing at school to do, And Monday starts again in the usual way. My diary is ended with nothing more to say. —Helen Baxter. “A SENIOR’S FAREWELL’’ Farewell, Dear Lincoln, And others who made you so, The time is drawing near When all seniors must go, We ll take what you have taught us As we travel on, For it was you who helped us To mingle with the throng. — Ruby ]ean Hamilton.

C is for closer, in storm or fair weather. 0 is for obedience, to desires, fine and true. L is for leave, which we hate to do. N is for no-better school you could go to.
