THE LINCOLNIAN . Principal's Message g MEMORIES pleasant and amusing will crowd forward at occasional times when an idle moment is given to turning these pages. These memories will be cherished as a legacy of school life. There are, however, contribu- tions of school life which become forever a part of the personality of the graduate. Two of these are habits of industry and systematic use of time. These two attributes constitute most of what can be carried away. Much of fact that has been learned will be forgotten, but if the ability to study and a mastery of the use of time has been acquired, the grad- uate has gained the greatest gift a high school has to offer. Habits of study and industry are difficult to acquire and more difficult to retaing but each senior will testify that he has a greater assurance of being able to accomplish a task and finish it on schedule time than he had when entering high school. The grad- uate who profits most by his training is the one who continues to develop mental capacity by further study and by regularity in the apportionment of his time. Opportunity with- out limit is afforded. Libraries, reading clubs, correspondence schools, extension courses all offer organized material for study. If two books were read each year during the ten years after graduation, in which the life occupation is being mastered, the reader would have the satisfaction of being well informed, and would have retained the great gifts of his high school training period. These yearly excursions would lead where fancy directed. The first year the subject might be world georgraphyg the next ancient people, the third architecture, the fourth city government, minute animal life, philsophy or hygiene the following years, and so on. Besides guarding against losing the heritage of his school training, the graduate has an obligation to his school. He should be alert to the standards maintained. Worthy tradition at Lincoln must be upheld. Quality of curriculum and faculty must not lower. Each graduate may be a potent factor in maintaining and raising the high standards now established, by being active in the Alumni Association and expressing opinion when occasion arises. Memories of faces and personalities, incidents and events, rooms and building, will come occasionally, and habits and attitudes gained during the high school years will be life possessions. These are the contributions your high school has made to your lifeg and we would have you carry always a mental picture of Lincoln High School, as a great institution forever exerting its influence on the lives of boys and girls who may come to know the school as you have.
