Guidance Qrzfup Spansors Cum Evnferencvs Guidance! that word whose meaning is, at first, so vague to the student becomes real as he enters room 229 to meet the amiable, helpful counselors there. Did he find it hard to choose a college? Did he need a job? Or, did he just need some P friendly advice and encouragement. Of course, he went for help immediately to room 229 where the guidance department has its headquarters and at least one of the six very able counselors answered his questions and helped solve his problems. One of the departments largest projects this year were the college conferences given to seniors and the Vocational conference given to the whole student body. lt was. indeed a large order to arrange for l7 college representatives to be here at the same time for the college confer- ence and for 40 representatives of industries and professions for the vocational conference. 27- 27,4 ,4 d fylfl! Always with the purpose of bringing about closer relations between the home and the school, Lincoln's Parent-Teacher Association this year carried out a highly successful theme, Progress Toward New Horizons , by the use of guest speakers and panel discussions at their regular monthly meetings. Under the leadership of Mrs. J. W. Yost, president, the P-TA also worked hard to get more publicity for the school activities through features in the newspapers and on the radio. Many. of the student programs now heard on the CltY'S radio stations were brought about by their eH'orts. In order to raise funds for its annual project of buying something of use to the school, the organization sponsored four skating parties, which were all highly successful affairs. Other officers helping Mrs. Yost include Mrs. Fred Lockwood, first vice-president: Miss Louise Van Devanter, second vice-president: Mis. Eugene Hall, secretary, and Mrs- C. D. Collier, treasurer.

X 2 4 ffl?-A-aff: i a. ' Miss Wnsnifnrn Knicks Absent, luis flies Bus strikesf Snow stormsf If it's not one thing, it's six others, all of which tend to make the work of Miss Elizabeth Washburn, attendance chief, more difficult- Taking care of Lincoln's records is a big job, and it is even worse when Tacoma weather and transportation problems play havoc with Abe attendance. However, Miss Washburn still manages to keep a close check on the whereabouts of students who are not in classes when they should be. The Adays absent' and 'times tardy' sections on all report cards show how well her records are kept. Even with her troubles, students and teachers alike can count on Miss Washburn for a helping hand and a friendly smile. Keeping Wnnnrss fnfncf Duty af Mrs. Hissns Dispensing her duties with a warm friendli- ness and a helpful attitude toward all, makes Mrs. Maxine Cissne, chief clerk of Lincoln's sanctum fthe office, that isa, popular with students and teachers alike. She probably has the distinction of doing more odd jobs than anyone else in the school. Besides taking care of Lincoln's finances. acting as a chief source of information for people who enter the office with some question in their minds, sending out numerous bulletins, and keeping the office records straight, she also finds time to act as adviser of Marcetta Ki, the newly formed Abe-etts, and the bowling club. Although, as this shows, she is a busy person, Mrs. Cissne has a friendly and amiable character which one cannot help but admire. ,Mrs Lindsay is Nina 5,Wcisni OHM Klsrk Unknown to most Lincolnites is the im- portant work done by Mrs. Gertrude Lindsay in her capacity as office clerk. Working in the attendance room in the morning and in the main office all afternoon, she has become an indispensible assistant to both Mrs. Maxine Cissne and Miss Elizabeth Washburn. Most of the absentee lists, college transcripts, and daily bulletins which blanket the school every morning come from her type- writer. Eiling, checking up on absentees, and doing general office work for an institution as large as Lincoln hardly give Mrs. Lindsay a minutes rest. Although she has not been at Lincoln as long as the other office workers, she has become a well known and popular Hgure around school.

She always demanded perfection. While thumbing through these pages in years to come, any former Lincolnite's mind will probably dwell somewhat on the above theme, but certainly these will not be his only thoughts! Recalling the swell coach he had while playing football or that club adviser who meant so much to every member of the organization as well as to its success, he will realize what great people they really were, The teachers were always willing to help in any way they could-by giving friendly advice, taking tickets at school dances and games, and performing many other services, over and above their teaching duties, in order to help out their students. He will come to know, too, that a large part of his own personal success, both in high school and in later years, had been duelto the efforts of his instructors at Lincoln, Bringing the reminiscence to a close, he will say quietly to himself, Many thanks to a group of really fine people-the Abe faculty!
