BURT O, BEAL Dedication For 27 years an educator at Lincoln, Principal Burt C. Beal retires this year with the class of '52, Mr. Beal's career as a molder of intellect and character began in the role of an athletic coach and teacher, advanced to the position of vicefprincipal, and is climaxing 14 years in the princif palship. All this time, nearly half a lifetime dedicated to youth, he has bestowed a friendly smile on all who seek a portion of his seemingly unlimited time. For Mr. Beal's schedule was ever expanded to give audience to everyone's troubles. But Burt Beal's work has been a service not confined only to youth. The community, too, has seen the effects and has lived in the benefits of his labors in educaf tion. A staunch supporter of stu' dent government, a proponent of the sports, music, PTA, drama, and publications programs, Mr. Beal has been the chief factor in the establishment of a b road reputation of brotherhood a n d honesty and fairness at Lincoln. He has taken upon himself the task of instilling in each pupil the spirit of the man Lincoln. So in the coming fall the instif tution, spinning steadily as a great mill stone and issuing forth a rare substance called knowlf edge, shall be in need of another m i g h t y hub about which to revolve. May this axis but have the qualities displayed by Princif pal Beal. It is to the years of sterling and unselfish service g i v e n to Lincoln by Burt C. Beal that this 1952 Lcinolnian is hereby dedif cated.

Vice-Principal Serves In Numerous Capacities As familiar as the huge Douglas Firs that predominate throughout the Pacific Northwest, is the winning smile of assistant principal, William B. Hardie. Along with straightening out the neverending problems of the students and helping confused sophomores through their first week, Mr. Hardie handles capably his other duties of adjusting the school's finances, ordering and distributing sup' plies, assigning special and modified classes. It's Mr. Hardie who makes possible all the many assemblies and dances enjoyed by the students throughout the year. Students soon realize that he has a keen understanding of their needs and enjoyment. In the 18 years he has been teacher and assistant principal he has proved himself the friend of youth and not just a dispenser of discipline. Guidance Staff Leads Almes, to jobs, College Helping the students decide one of the most important steps of a life time, that of a future career is one of the many services rendered by the guidance department. The annual college conference staged by the department attracted 230 seniors. College curricula, expenses, activities and the details involved in attending college were outlined by the representatives from 31 different colleges in Washington and Oregon. Another big undertaking is the annual Vo' cational Conference, where all the students obtain first hand information on two vocations of their choice. This year there were 72 speakers from the business, industrial arts, and profesf sional worlds, outlining 52 separate topics. Vocational interest and aptitude tests were taken, the results giving the students an idea of the work they are best suited and most qualif fied for. Although this hard working department isn't in the spotlight much, they deserve a lot of credit for the indispensible aid they have given the students. W. B. I-IARDIE Mildred Moyer. Bill Hardie.
