,Mn 162111 Hvmplcfes 22 years at lincoln Friendly, cooperative and far-sighted are ap- propriate words to describe Burt O. Beal, who has been serving Lincoln High School for twenty-two years' Mr. Beal has always had an unbroken record of attendance until this year when he was over- come by a severe case of the flu which kept him away from his post for almost a week, l-lowf ever, twenty-two years without an absence due to illness is an excellent record. It was in the fall of l9Z5 that Mr, Beal first came to Lincoln as an instructor in boys' physi- cal education. During the eleven succeeding years he served as director of athletics. 'lien of those years he was also vice-principal. Then in the fall of 1938 he took over the duties of his present position when W, C. P. Meddins left on a Sabbatical Leave. Undoubted- ly Mr. Beal will have many more years at Lincoln filled with happiness and good luck. Mr. Beal has carried with him into the office of principal from his athletic career the spirit of fair play and good sportsmanship which go hand in hand with athletics. These principles all help him in making fair decisions which are always for the good of the whole student body. It would be impossible to enumerate all the different things Mr. Beal handles each day in his inner office, but mainly he carries on con- ferences with teachers, students, parents, busi- ness men, school officials and salesmen who have some connection with school business. Plus this, he handles disciplinary cases, visits classes, schedules and helps Mr- Hardie manage school events such as dances, class plays, musical events, assemblies and other functions. Yes, Lincoln is, indeed, grateful to its prin- cipal.
