Under the leadership of Mrs. Ray Killingbeck, the members carried out many successful projects. Welding Links for Lincoln was the theme carried throughout the year by guest speakers and in panel discussions at their regular monthly meetings. One of the major projects for the year was organizing the all-city ski trips which attracted hundreds of teen-agers under adult chaperonage. The trips were to the Milwaukee Ski .-.'. ' tg A - trips a yearly undertaking Other activities for the year were the very successful skating parties, and under the joint cooperation of Club Tyac they sponsored a series of dances.

After stumbling along over a tough obstacle called the war years, when most of their members were serving in the armed forces, a rejuvinated post-war group emerged under the leadership of John Pyfer, pres- ident: John Sharp, vice-president: Shirley Hendrickson, secretary and Willie Sepatowski, treasurer. Two dances head the list of their very successful year, one taking place in late fall or early winter and the other in the spring. These dances afforded a common meeting place for old friends to get together F gg once again. The spring dance had a new fea- ture added this year, a feature which seemed to help put the whole affair over with a big bang. Of course, reference is to the before-the-dance basketball game. The teams con- sisted of 'Aalum stars from years past and some present members of the school. Another sparkling event was the presentation of the Variety Show , the proceeds of which raised S450 for new choir robes. The alumni teamed with the present student body to present this show. The result was an evening of entertainment which will long be remembered by many Wilbur Sepatowski, Shirley Hendrickson, John Sharp. John Pyfer. who attended-

Bryan, treasurer - As the sands of time are slowly washed away, the scene changes from our high school to the den of a successful alumnus. As he glances among his numerous keepsakes, his eyes fall upon his class ring. A mental picture of his final year at Lincoln passes before his eyes. Among his reminiscings are the Prom, football games at the Stadium. the Senior Class play and assembly, brunch. baccalaureate, and all the activities connected with commencement. Highlighting the seniors final year at Lincoln Stairway to the Stars , the annual Senior-Junior Prom, Jan. 23, provided an evening amid glittering stars and blue and white decorations that could never be forgotten. As school opened in the fall, the seniors settled down to business immediately by electing officers. Dave Wood won the presidency and John Eyres was elected vice-president. Others polled to office were Vivian Powell, secretary: Dick Bryan, treasurer: and Herb Klippert, representative to council. Getting off to a flying start, the new officers set upon the problem of dress at commencement. By a vote of the class, caps and gowns were again chosen as graduation garb. But. for a change the girls wore white gowns and caps at graduation and the boys remained in the traditional black. Everyone will recall the hustle around school during Class Spirit Week in January. The seniors led the week with a spirited Miss Shush Contest in which the whole school was invited to participate for the two cash prizes. After many afternoons of constant rehearsing, the acting aspirants of the Class of 1948 emerged beneath grease paint and floodlights to present the hilarious and popular comedy. Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, the annual Senior Class play, on April 30 and May 1. To the delight of the Juniors. Sophomores and faculty members the Seniors presented an entertainf ing assembly on their last day of school. Many outstanding performers of the graduating class were viewed by the audience for the last time on the stage at Lincoln. Before they realized it, the eventful year had come to an end and all that was left was the last min- ute rush, the brunch, baccalaureate, then finally commencement. All good things must come to an end so the class of l948 left its alma mater and went out to make its own way among the hardships and toils of a grown-up world. ,Mc X JG
