So whof, right? Well it just so happens rhot this is o photo type-setting computer, and with it. the frinr Shop s printing capabilities hove in- creased to the point where they surpass that of all other high schools in the state There are only a few other schools rhot have print shops, most of them in Omaha LHS is the only city school that has one. The FYinr Shop is one of the most useful instructional resources in the school. It prints many items for the office, things like letterheads, envelopes, ond referrals, and also does work for non-profit organizations in the down- town area With the new type-setter, the frinr Shop is limited only by size os to what it can prinr. Ir cannot, for example, prinr something os lorge as the Advocate Probably the most imponant job that the ftinr Shop takes on is the printing of Image Mogazine. This year the shop set the type for the mogazine. as well as printing it. The actual printing is done by real live students in Graphics (o one semester introductory dass) and Junior ond Senior Trades (year-long, double-period courses), under the direction of Mr. Gary Corneer. This is Corneer's fourth year as Bint Shop advisor. Before that, the position was filled by Mr Wayne Osborn, who is now o drafting teacher The Print Shop has existed for almost as long as Lincoln High, ond it is port of the school s heriroge. The first fVint Shop was located in what is now the nurse's office. It was later moved to the present bond room, and then to the Small Engine Shop, in room 144. Finally it was moved to its present locotion in room 145. Print Shop—21

Rhondo Becker Working for you A Srudenr Council is rrodirionolly about os effective os o boll poinr pen that has been sovoged by o pencil sharpener. And StuCo members ore rrodirionolly vain, warped individuals who moke stupid speeches through their noses ond dream of being congresspersons ond taking huge bribes from sinister Arabs. The very opposite is true or Lincoln High. The Sru- denr Council is the most oaive ond effeaive one in Lincoln, ond probably the hardest working. The Council represents the srudenr body with the administration ond in the community. According to Council President Kate Kopischke. the administration really does listen to the Srudenr Counal. Principal Sam Nelson visits the Council every Tuesday, to discuss concerns ond policies The administration consults the Council on every major issue or policy change, ond each of the deportments, like Attendance ond Srudenr Affairs, also meet with the Council. If you don't have a Srudenr Council, you wouldn't have ony communication between the Administration ond the students.' said Sophomore Council Member Thod Potter. Junior Amy Thone felt that most students don't real- ize how much work the Student Council does. Being on Srudenr Counal involves much more than meeting eoch day for fifty minutes. The Council repre- sents the student body on the Community Council, rhe Srudenr Advisory Board, ond maintains contact between rhe students and many other school ond community organizations. The list of events sponsored by the Student Council is truly formidable. They planned dances, presented awards, organized concerts for rhe students, did rhe sound announcements, ond countless other tasks. While rhe busy bee counal members buzzed about. Sponsor Bufford Grosscup took roll ond relaxed The Council s officers ran rhe show, ond Grosscup simply mode sure that things didn't disintegrate into anarchy. Besides Resident Kopischke. officers ore Suzonne Peterson, vice-president; Amy Thone. treasurer; Mike Crosby, secretory, ond Jana Turpin, historian. The Council consists of six sophomores, six juniors, seven seniors, ond three Foreign Exchange Students.
