Donna Road Office Secretary Winifred Wengeler Superintendent's Secretary Books, books, books - the library is full of books, but not only books, for there are hundreds of pamphlets and magazines too. From them Miss Hanft, the li- brarian, helps students find interesting and informative material for recreational and educational purposes. She selects and processes new books, checks out books and periodicals to students, and shelves and files returned materials. , The nurse sent her home because she had a cold. That is a quotation sometimes heard in the halls of Lincoln, showing that Mrs. Race is alert to the health problems of the students. She checks general health conditions and examines students who have been ab- sent from school because of illness. She promotes the vaccination and Mantoux testing in school and urges good teeth care. To add to her many duties at Lincoln, she is also nurse for the public grade schools. The secretaries do routine clerical and secretarial work in connection with the school. 1 ,meds M, , ,,. ww 3 ' v 5. Margaret Biorkman Race School Nurse

Mr. Larson teaches geometry every year, while a course in trigonometry and solid geometry combined is alternated annually with advanced algebra. Of course, the students have been prepared gradually for these advanced subiects all through their school days. In seventh and eighth grade the student is drilled in completing accurate work in arithmetic and comprehensive thought problems. Seventh grade math is taught by Mr. Bale and Miss Batten, while Miss Clark, Miss Sedlacek, Mr. Larson, and also Miss Batten teach eighth grade math. When you enter your freshman year you get your first real taste of higher math. Here you meet Mrs. Blanche Greenland Larson as your algebra or general math teacher depending on your choice of electives. The class as well as the problems will seem absurd at first, but then any- thing new is always difficult. Tackle it to the best of your ability and you will soon catch on. More than likely you will be tempted to choose some of the higher maths as electives in your following years of high school. Did you ever wonder what makes clouds? Most students at Lincoln have wondered about this question or many like it. As a curiosity satisfier and a credit toward graduation and pre- paration for future work, they have chosen electives in chemistry, biology, and physics taught by Dr. Mayer-Oakes and Mr. Ahlquist. ln biology one learns about plant, animal, and human life. In short, it is the study of all living things. Senior science, a combination of physics and chemistry, is offered to those students who were unable to take the other two courses separately. General science, required of all freshmen, and taught by Miss Gantner, is a necessary stepp- ing stone to the senior high science courses. To appreciate higher sciences, one must have a basic understanding of science fundamentals, here offered in Mr. Skiod's seventh and eighth grade classes. During these firstscience courses, the student gets this background mostly about developments leading up to our presentscientific and atomic age. A. C. Ahlquist Ida E. Gantner G. H.
