Tennis The skill of shooting a bow and arrow dates back even before the days of Robin Hood and his merry band. The Lincoln High archery club preserves this age old sport every spring as the girls take careful aim and attempt to get a bull's eyef' Besides learning to use these age-old weapons, these skillful Lincolnites have been taught, first and foremost, the safety rules for healthy and happy contests. Mr. Cupid, if you need any lessons, try our archery club. Coach Sharpe, A. Wahnsley, V. Salem, M. Gluck, D. Bower, A. Hegland, C. Winward, L.
