ent aaemmemf RALPH EDD1Nos Student Body President Slaafeat burned! Zimczxea 'gang eafalz 1-icziudtiea Clirnaxing a busy year's activity for Lincoln's student council was the trial court established in April. One more important step had been taken in the student body's all-important march toward student government. Through exchanged visits with the Bremerton student council, where a student court has been successfully operating for some time, the group got the idea for a court at Lincoln. Other important ideas for the improvement of Abe student government were also acquired during the visits with Bremerton. It's your court, emphasised Ralph Eddings, student body president, it's up to you to develop it. Numerous assemblies were presented by the organization for other schools. Junior high schools were entertained and an attempt was made to acquaint them with Lincoln, One of the most important functions, of course, was the annual exchange assembly presented under the direction of Vice-president Jack Maddex. Any spare time that was available was consumed with various activities around school: the council dance, scholarship fund contribution, Mclean-up Week and many others. On behalf of the student council, commented Ralph on completing his reign as council president, HI want to thank Mrs. Somerville, our adviser, for her priceless assistance and enduring patience, to the faculty and administration and to the students, themselves, for their fine cooperation, It has been an honor and a pleasure serving you.

Chances are, the first sound one will hear on is. , F ,gwuawwk 776644 Wmidaaea Keepa ada On 2500 rife Stawlemfa Who is Miss Shush? 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. Since January l946, Nlrs. Lindsay has been the schools efficient assistant office clerk. When a prospective employer calls Lincoln for information regarding the school record of a student, it is Mrs. Lindsay who looks up the facts. When a student transfers to another school, it is she who sends his record along. Other jobs, such as typing letters and checking records, are done by Mrs. Lindsay, Busy from morning till night, is her job in a nutshell.

7704. Summa!! clawed fzacgha Seen running between the council room and her own small guidance office in 229 many times a week, is Mrs. Ruby Somerville. She could well be called one of Lincoln's busiest faculty members. Here is the job of advising the Student Council. She also guides officers of the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes. As problems arise each day to confront the council, a customary phrase to be heard is: Let's ask Mrs. Somerville for her help and opinion. The fact that she gives this assistance so willingly is one of the many reasons for her ever-increasing popularity among those who know and come into contact with her. AHL 2:4 1: R. Eddings.
