OUR MR. BAKER Some believe a school a pretentious building with Gothic arches or Doric pillars or Byzan- tine facades. Some believe a school an assem- blage of ambitious and studious young people, some believe a school a group of instructors. and some believe that a school is all of these, but few know that the building, the students, and the teachers could never make a real school without an able director-a principal. Lincoln High School is a real school because she has been more than fortunate in having Mr. Joseph H. Baker direct her energies, her development. Whatever the years may bring -a new building, better students, more in- structors, whatever honor may be hers, she will owe them all to her good friend and counsellor, Mr. Baker. The teachers and the students bring this message of sincere apprecia- tion to their much loved friend. May he find happiness in the years ahead, and in the mem- ory of his years at Lincoln High School.

PHE QUILL .1 Dear Friends at Lincoln: When our thoughts turn to annuals and graduation, we know that we are approach- ing the end of the year. I am approaching the end of this year with peculiarly mixed feelings, because it is to be a very different ending than any other I have experienced. It is to be not only the end of another year, but it is the end of my twenty-lifth year of teaching, and the end of my work as principal of Lincoln High School. I had been plan- ning this change before Lincoln High School was established. When 1 was offered an opportunity to become the head of a new school here, I laid aside all other plans and ex- pected to stay until the new school was well organized and settled in a line new building. The new building is still a castle in the air, but it will soon begin to come down to earth and the man who is to succeed me must be here to show it where to land, what class rooms to build, where the corridors must run and how the great auditorium, study halls, and gymnasiums must be placed. I can not stay until the long task should be completed, so I am leaving before it starts. Your histories tell you that during the presidential campaign of 1864, when the country was in the turmoil of the Civil War, the great Lincoln, whom we delight to honor, said, It is not well to trade horses when you are crossing a stream. The last five years have' been short and happy ones although they have been years of hard work for you and me. ln all the time to come I shall look back upon them as some of the plcasantest of my life. My interest in Lincoln High School and its work has been too great to die and I shall always be looking for news of you and your school. I shall rejoice with you in your successes and be sorry for your defeats. I hope that you will always work for the good of the school that Lincoln may be honored among schools and her graduates honored among the men and women wherever they may be. I hope that as the classes succeed each other each may prove better than the one before as they go out from this school led by the ideals and 'prompted by the spirit of that great char- acter for whom it was named. Milwaukee is now talking a Lincoln memorial that will cost a hundred thousand dollars, but that is nothing compared to the memorial to him built in the lives of the students. I hope that when you and l wander back here as old men and women we shall find such a school that we shall be proud to say that we were here and laid the foundations for that great school. And now just one word more. My successor will be a stranger to you. Make him welcome, help him to become acquainted, show him the true spirit of our slogan Link on to Lincoln and support him in all the things he tries to do for you. Yours very sincerely, H. BAKER.
