ZKULIS5 7 960 ji ,SZl!8lfLfgf C0lflfLlfl'LQlfLC8lfVL8lfLf Commencement is not an end, it is abeginning. This statement is real and meaningful to the seventy-four classes which have preceded us. Thousands of men and women have used the training and experiences which they received at Lincoln as the basis for and impetus to greater experiences and achievement. Through the years, Lincoln graduates have distinguished themselves and rendered services in all phrases of social living. They have taken their places in Medicine, in Law, in the Arts, in the Sciences, in the Armed Services, in Crafts, and in Public Service. Many members of the Class of 1960 are children and grandchildren of former Lincolnites. In addition to the blood kinship of parents, grandparents and relatives there is a thread of kinship based on similar experiences which runs through the seventy-five years. We like to think that during their high school years our older sisters and brothers were happy, carefree youngsters who met and coped with like problems, like frustration and like temptations. We like, all new freshmen, found adjustment to new surroundings in a large high school abit difficult. We were green, wide-eyed and frustrated. We felt alone and unwanted. However, this natural state passed quickly because our teachers and schoolmates were friendly and helpful. As we became used to our new surrounding, we began to take an active part in the varied activities designed for our desirable growth and development. Our sophomore year was filled with activities and achievement. Nine of us became Probationary members of the National Honor Society We were members of the dramatics club, the science club, the language clubs, the band, the chorus, the orchestra. Our boys played spectacular B team football and basketball. Everyone expected a great deal more from us in our junior year and they, of course, got it. We worked harder to bring special recognition to the class. Danella Malone won Second prize in the annual Science Fair. Jamesetta Carter, Clarice Arnold, Charlotte Wise, Audrey Dibble, and Danella Malone became members of the 100 Girls' club, and Frances Jones, Clarice Arnold, Bobbie Kirk, Barbara Cooper, Jamesetta Carter, Sandra Alexander, Audrey Dibble, Sarah Stuckey, Cecil Williams, Marcia Cason, Doris Johnson, and Charlotte Wise made the Homr Society. The Junior play was exceptionally good and the Junior- Senior prom was unforgettable. Our Senior year was hectic. There were so many things to do. Bythis time we were accustomed to hard work, but most of us even worked harder so there would be no question of our marching with the class on graduation night. All of the usual senior activities - Senior play, senior day, class day, baccalaureate and commencement - are memorable and we shall treasure them forever. We shall cherish the memory of our teachers for they are the ones who inspired, motivated and guided us in the right direction. The Seventy-fifth graduating class is proud of the many achievements of its predecessors. Also, it is indebted to those industrious men and women for they in their own way have given us inspiration, courage and determination. They have shown us that Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time,
