High School Days Onlya Memory- jack Mase, president, George Yarick vice president, Edwin Lightfoot, secretary, Ronald Bowers treasurer With The Class that Clicks in '46 as a motto, the Seniors put forth their best to carry out this theme. Since they were the first to attend Lincoln for four years in its senior high school rating, this class witnessed the primary development of Lincoln High School, and the many eventful changes which have taken place. During these four years, almost every day was sig- nificant in the making of history, both in affairs at school and in the international happenings of the world. World War ll was finished, Lincoln held a claim to the State football championship, the United Nations Peace Organiza- tion was organized, and the Canton Lincoln Chapter of the National Honor Society was established. These are few of the many points, but they serve to exemplify the importance of this period, To lead the class wisely during the most important year of high school, the seniors elected four young men to serve as class officers. They were jack Mase, president, George Yarick, vice president, Edwin Lightfoot, secretaryg Ronald Bowers, treasurer. Chosen for their ability and all- around personalities, they proved to be capable executives in handling class affairs.
