To speak and to write clearly, convincingly, and effectively, regarding both vivid presentation of thought and correctness of form, to develop a taste and a love for reading together with ability to discriminate between the worth while and the superficial are the aims of the English department. As for mathematics, that study is the key, and applied mathematics the tool. whereby man conquers the universe. Prac- tical preparation for positions as bookkeepers and stenographers is given in the com- mercial department, A mixture of the two courses is also recommended to anyone who wishes to manage intelligently his own business affairs. These three departments are well patronized by our seamen. Others there are who love to study about man. The vastly increased number of human relationships arising from our complex industrial society imposes a responsi- bility of obligation to our fellow men. This is the essential province of the social science study. The complexity of such relationships is enhanced by knowledge and art developed in another department, for the foundation of civilization rests upon the sciences. Our science department endeavors to furnish inspiration and appreciation to tomorrows generation. He who is ignorant of foreign languages, knows not his own. 4Goethe. New comprehension of our own English as well as an understanding of foreign peoples comes with study in the foreign language department. In music and art departments, appreciation for the beautiful is stressed. In the industrial arts department, specialized training in woodwork, auto mechanics, electricity, and machine shop, together with related mathematics, science, and drawing, furnish vocational training. The non-vocational section includes regular shop courses, machine, and architectural drawing. Corresponding to this are courses for girls. The Home Economics division is incorporating a new course in home relations in response to a state requirement. All phases of proper home and family management will thus be studied beginning with the 1934 sophomores, unless they follow a two-year home economics course. Consideration for and care of the human body are emphasized in the physical activi- ties department which includes both physical education and athletics. Nine

She is rightly called the melting pot. Raw materials have been brought to give new blood, new ideas, new enthusiasm. So with her high schools. Lest they grow stagnant, new teachers must come from all ports of education. Lincoln's adminis- tration has been garnered from harbors throughout the United States and even from Europe and Asia, mixing the thrift and industry of the Old World with the conserva- tive philosophy and traditions of New England, the energy and democratic friendliness of the West and Middle West. Most popular are the Pacific Coast institutions. Thirty of our teachers graduated, attended summer school, or did post-graduate work at the University of Washington. The College of Puget Sound ranks second, having helped twelve of our teachers, and Washington State College is third with eight alumni instructing here. Knapp's Business College, Bellingham and Ellensburg Normals, and Whitman College complete the list of Washington institutions. Oregon and California schools have trained one or more teachers, each, in the Linfield College, Oregon State College, or the University of Ore- gon. The College of the Pacific, Stanford, and the University of California are the southern colleges which helped educate out educators. The College de France, Scot- land's Herriot Datt and Leith Technical Schools, the Oriental Summer College at Tokio, Japan, and Cambridge and London Universities have contributed teachers who can, perhaps, insert a little of the atmosphere of old civilization into the one we are build- ing. Eastern United States has sent representatives from Boston University, New Andover, Harvard, Columbia, Wellesley, Vassar, the General Electric Testing Depart. ments of Schenectady, New York, and Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The state universities, normals, and colleges of Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Wisconsin, and Indiana are represented. Rocky Mountain schools have launched many of our pilots. Some nine teachers have arrived from the Idaho State Normal, the University of Idaho, Gooding College, Intermountain Union College, Colorado State Normal, the Denver University, the Colorado State University, and the Montana State College. ,True is the assertion that it takes all kinds of people to make a world. Lincoln's eminence as a high school is largely due to the various sources from which she drew her pilots. Eigh!

Preliminary work as soon as the anchor had been weighed, was to manage the election of yell leaders and class oflicers. Then a peppy Gr-r-r-r Lincoln started Football Night on November 29, an outstanding event held to advertise the Stadium-Lincoln Thanksgiving football game. Pep numbers and dancing composed the program. Standards Week was observed with a sophomore standards assembly and the formulation of standard codes for boys and girls. Two other projects of ship-wide concern were the consideration of a student activity ticket for all school functions and the construction of a letter display case. Climaxing the year's business, a Clean-up Drive was directed, with a cleaner ship and better habits as objectives. The Board was assisted by the Boys' and Girls' Clubs and the three class groups who participated in a competitive campaign. Their activities were to polish the brasses, holy-stone an amorphous substance off the decks, and to pick up plum duff containers. Ten
