I I ' ?7emcc4aZ Zed 4 Wieaaczge During these days of stress and strain. at this time when men and women are Hill at ease with reference to the stability of the world situation, when some in our own country have deviated from a genuine loyalty toward American Democracy, it seems appropri- ate that we re-dedicate ourselves to the great principles embodied in the Constitution of the United States of America. that we try to understand and appreciate more fully the great freedoms which are ours to enjoy. Just as it is difficult for the general public, during these uncertain times, to feel secure and confident so is it difficult for high school graduates to know the proper course or directions to pursue. May it be that the path which you choose shall be the one which leads to a most successful career and that each one shall experience a continuous period of happiness marked by a degree of service which will bring about a happy and prosperous community in which you may be called to serve. The inspiration that comes from working and living in this school is closely interwoven with the wonderful beauties of moun- tains, forests and water with which nature has so abundantly surrounded us. May the memories of days spent at Lincoln High School ever be an inspiration to lofty purpose, high ideals, honest thinking. true living and work well done, and may all of us be ever alert to grasp and use any and all worth-while thoughts and acts to the end that we may become better citizens-more worthy, more loyal and with a more wholesome and sane attitude of mind.
