The Lincoln adminisTraTive sTaTT parallels This insoTar as iT is Their duTy To conducT The school in an orderly and eTTicienT manner. T-leaded by Principal B. O.

OuTside groups which conTribuTe much To Lincoln's welTare are The ParenT-Teacher's AssociaTion and Alumni AssociaTion. Below is Principal Beal's prescripTion Tor The parT a sTudenT can Take Tor The beTTermenT oT Lincoln High School and Tor himselT: One oT The greaTesT asseTs any man or woman can possess is a purpose. IT and when a deTiniTe plan is dominanT iT is much more probable ThaT There will be an evidenT inTeresT in any Task To be underTaken wiTh The ineviTable resulT ThaT more eTTorT will be expended and in The end a much higher Type oT work shall be accomplished. This kind oT deTerminaTion on The parT oT any sTudenT makes Tor a decidedly beTTer Type oT ciTizen noT only while in school, buT during The years To Tollow. May iT be ThaT each sTudenT oT Lincoln l-ligh School shall puT TorTh his besT eTTorTs aT all Times In order To adeguaTely prepare Tor Tomorrow. LiTe ahead will be happier and more worThwhile. Much saTisTacTion comes as a resulT oT acknowledged achievemenT. Success is measured by The degree oT accomplishmenT oT predejrermined obiecTives and ambiTions.
