LHS in government The Student Advisory Board was a group of students who attended bi weekly meetings to PSAB to discuss stu- dent rules dealing with activities and other issues. Special committees were formed to investigate some topics. Lincoln High was very active on the board. The members were: Carol Junge, Mike Fen. Kate Kopischke, Suzanne Peterson, Susan Lococo, Ann Henning and Lori Guthrie. Basically, the Student Advisory Board served as the voice of Lincoln High students who had something to say to the administration. Another government related activity was County Government Day. Fourteen Lincoln High juniors were elected in the beginning of November to take part in the day-long learning session. On November 14, the elected officials went to the County-City building and saw where their county officials worked and what their jobs were. After the tour, the students went to the Legionnaire Club for lunch and listened to guest speaker, State Attorney Gen- eral Paul Douglas. County Government Day participants and their offi- ces were: Steve Peiper, County Attorney; Shelly Searcey, County Judge; Wendy Hanshaw, County Commissioner: Cheryl Cooke, District Court Clerk; Christi Pfeifer, Juvenile Court Judge; Jim Baker, County Engineer; Kim Lamb, Election Commissioner; Mike Jordan, Public Defender; Jeff Horacek, County Sheriff; Cindy McMahan, Registrar of Deeds; Gayle Adams, Civil Defense Director; Rochelle Hitz, County Assessor; Chris Burbach, County Assessor; and Anne Hamersky.

Medical Club explores health fields We all know that the average field trip is enjoyable, exciting and all around fun. Well, if you enjoy field trips you should have been a member of the 1979-80 LHS Medical Club. The interest in the club grew this year to fifteen members. Going on a field trip once a month to a medical-re- lated place served as their meetings. The purpose of the group was to make inter- ested students aware of the health-related professions that are available. Sponsor Mrs. Carol Epp said, It is interesting work- ing with the students involved in this club. It is also interesting to see the different health areas that are changing all the time. 1979-80 MEDICAL CLUB—Row I: Shane Podraza. Martha Hillman Row 2: Rashidah Abdullah. Mrs Joan Huffer.

Formerly known as Coed Counselors, their purpose is to introduce new students to the school. They do this in many ways. Early in the year they held a sophomore orientation. Other activities were giving tours of the school, having student get-to- gethers and during the Alumni Weekend, they were in charge of escorting alumni around the school. Comrade President Ruth Boham reflected on her year saying, My time was well spent. I wish more people would have been involved. 1979-80 COMRADES—Standing: Greg Kats. Ruth Boham.
