Maxine Cissne Mary Ellen Zevenbergcn Elizabeth Washburn, Kay West Qffice WO1' eers Chool Life Hub As each branch is important in the balance of a Hr tree, our office force is one of the most important branches in the balance of the functions at Lincoln. Mrs. Maxine Cissne carries enorf mous responsibility, as chief clerk of Lincoln's office, with calm efficiency. Her congenial easyfgoing manner is well known to all Lincolnites who come to her with problems and quesf tions. As part of her every day job Mrs. Cissne issues permits to leave the school grounds, takes telephone mesf sages, takes care of lost purses and keeps all the office files and records in order. Assisting in the office is Miss Mary Ellen Zevenburgen, a graduate of Lincoln in 1949. The effort put forth by these two office clerks is greatly responsible for Lincoln's smooth running office. Present? Clerles Always Know Twenty years ago Miss Elizabeth Washbiirn began her career as Lin' coln's attendance clerk. Now, with an enrollment of 2,168 students, room 231 is a busy place anytime of the day. As part of her everyday job, Miss Washburn must be able to tell the truth from the prefabricated excuses, she must keep the attendance record of every student straight, and must attend to a daily absentee list. An indespensible assistant is Miss Kay West who works in the attend' ance office during the morning and the guidance office in the afternoon. These two mainstays of Lincoln's personnel cheerfully handle one of the most difficult tasks so efficiently that they deserve a lot of credit for a job well done.

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.

It's coffee and doughnuts fox' the faculty during a busy session. PIi1'1CiPdl,S Message On the occasion of this, my last message in a Lincolnian to the students, past and present, I should like to thank each and every' one for your cooperation, your friendship and your loyalty to Lincoln High School. Even though a period of twentyfseven years has elapsed since I came to Lincoln, yet the years have come and gone so rapidly that it is difficult to fully realize that it is time to say Good Bye. Having seen so many thousands of young people come and go, and to have been associated and acquainted with such grand people does mean vastly more to me than is possible to express in Words, spoken or written. Un the eve of my departure I have a feeling of gratitude and some satisfaction as a result of having had a part in the education and development of those students who have attended Lincoln at any time since my arrival here in 1925. I have reason to be happy if those who have been students at Lincoln have gained and profited to a degree that they feel better pref pared to take their place in society and can make a worthwhile contribution to the com' munity of which they become a part. Being a good citizen in high school, having a determination to put forth every effort to learn, participating in student activities, being kind and courteous-all these valuable attributes are almost sure to mean a valuable man or woman to assume leadership or take a prominent place in the affairs of the nation. These accomplish' ments have been realized by many who have attended Lincoln High School and can become a reality for those attending at the present time. ,Cc Q if
