Lincoln High School - Lincolnian Yearbook (Tacoma, WA)

rl Ze As a rule, it is customary to dedicate the yearbook to the spirit of Lincoln High and h memories of activities, athletics, and academics each one of us holds for the school. Once or twice in a decade, however, something of such momentous world importance happens that the staff feels the be confined to Lincoln alone. So it was with 1945 when Franklin Delano Roosevelt died: so, we feel, it is with 1948, a year which has already seen talk of a third World war rea er students, to the dedication cannot ch an alarming Crescendo. All students the world over do not have such an institution as a yearbook. That is too bad, because we believe the American high school annual is a product of cooperation, understanding, honest effort and good education. War, on the other hand, is largely caused by the exact opposite of these qualities. If nations Were to concentrate more on teaching their youth how to stage an operetta, play a good baseball game, or publish a yearbook instead of d' , sprea ing the ideology of a next War, such anxiety probably would not exist. The staff, then, hereby dedicates the 1948 Lincolnian to improved education of all peoples, free of intol- erance and propaganda, as a means toward universal peace.

azecaafwl It is indeed hard to enumerate all the many small and insignincant parts that go to make up Lincoln. There are so many pieces that tit into the complete picture in our minds. A sophomore may recall the view from the balcony. A hush envelopes the audience, but as the operetta action moves to one side of the stage, the mass change of position of balcony patrons thunders through the audi- torium. Some remember with particular vividness the basketball games-the shrieking, the tenseness and the vic- tory. Somehow, defeat is usually forgotten and only victory remains. To others, favorite classrooms and friends reserve a spot in their memories. i lt's all like a giant jigsaw puzzle-each piece important, no matter how small. We have three years to Ht the pieces of our high school life together, During that time one may discover that some parts are harder to find than others. The one marked l'study is sometimes carelessly mislaid, much to later anguish in tests. Others will have no room for the one labeled extra-curricular . But if We look hard enough and long enough, we should find all the parts to make the complete whole. In a sense, this is but a trial puzzle, for the rest of our lives lie ahead-the parts to be fitted together also. Seen in that light, thislannual becomes a guide and a reference to the placement of pieces in the over all structure of high school life and later life, too,
