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.

Every Lincoln- ite will recall this phrase as they reminisce over the days of this school year. After a week of guessing on the part of everyone in the school as to who this five- feet one-inch, dark-haired sports enthus- iastic miss was. most everyone was sur- prised at the close of the contest to find that she was none other than Miss Eliza- beth Washburn, head of the attendance office. Hers is the difficult job of keeping the attendance records up to date by checking on absentees and those who are tardy . . . a big job in any school, but a doubly hard task in a school with an enrollment of 2300. Although her responsibilities are many in number, Miss Washburn is one of the best known and most friendly personages at Lincoln.

These are just a few of the many things that keep Mrs. Maxine Cissne busy beyond the call of her regular office duties. However. in her spare time she can be found helping the girls of Marcetta Ki plan new marches or giving Bowling Club a hand with that tournament coming up. Keeping Lincoln's finances straight, answering numerous telephone calls, and making bulletins make a typical work day for her. Even with all these things keeping her busy she has a friendly smile and a cordial welcome for every- one entering the oH'ice. vw 77614, .ldnalaag Sefwea ,-44 We Gbffiae f-ieadelant entering Lincoln's office is the steady business-like click-clicking of Mrs. Gertrude Lindsay's typewriter.
