That, briefly, is the achievement of the Lincoln faculty this year. When at first thought a student considers teachers as those who assign that tough geometry theorem, give that French translation assignment, or tell him to learn those chemistry formulas, these might be his most prevalent ideas of a teacher, but they are surely not the only ones. It is also remembered that he or she was the one Who stood at the gates at football and basketball games and punched activity tickets, offered to chaperone that club dance, decorated for the P-TA luncheon, and gave that friendly advice when needed most. All this Was done over and above their duties as instructors, and they Would be the last to look for any praise or glory. ln later years, when that successful bus- isnessman, architect, or career Woman, looks back on his high school days, he will attribute much of his success to the hard Work of those Abe instructors. Yes, when the student thinks it over, he realizes that he was the luckiest person in the World to have such a splendid group of teachers.

Council Reorganizes Procedure The hub of student affairs, aptly describes this year's Student Council Whose members have sought to bring about good government and activities at Lincoln. Reorganizing Inter-Club Council was only one of the many projects successfully ac- complished. Due to the councils efforts, Inter-Club is once again able to play a major role in the functioning of student government. As usual, one of the main issues of the year was the extent to which Lincolnites should have student government. ln order to find out the methods and success of this plan in other schools, the Lincoln council was host to a County Conference in October. Representa- tives from Stadium, Clover Park, Bellarmine, Fife, Sumner, and Puyallup were in attendance. Through correspondence with other Washing- ton high schools much valuable information was gathered on this subject. An exchange visit with Bremerton made possible the ac- cumulation of many ideas which proved help- ful to both councils. Three delegates were also appointed to attend a conference on student government at the University of Wash- ington. With the object of helping the Student Court to function more smoothly the council appointed a committee to Work out new reso- lutions for the warrant servers of the Court. Inter-Club aided them in this project. Several delegates also visited Roosevelt High School in Seattle to observe how their student court Was progressing. To bolster their treasury they sponsored a dance, Football Frolicf' in the fall, which proved to be both a financial and social suc- cess. From the proceeds of the dance, a contribution was made to the P, A. fund. The Lincoln scholarship fund was also contributed to. During the past year this group also recog- nized the newly formed German Club and approved an emblem for the projection crew. Along with their many other projects the council found time to carry out all class and student body elections. A council sponsored comic float made its appearance along with other Lincoln entries in the annual Daffodil Parade. Accompaying this entry were a group of Lincolnites dressed in amusing costumes. Much of the success of this group was due to the willing assistance of Mrs. Rubylean Somerville, council adviser. Her advice often helped the members to solve the problems which confronted them.
