Pray, Secretary Page 11 The School Board To the pupils of Lincoln High and to any who may read the “Torch,” I want to impress upon you the splendid opportunities and advantages you have in our schools. An education means so much to you and is becoming more essential each day. We are trying to make our schools so attractive that you will want to take advantage of these opportunities. It is in your power to make your lives successful; for it is out of your private thinking that your success must come. Your character is built as your life is lived. In character as in all things, the highest point to be attained is simplicity. I want to leave with you this thought from the poem “Prayer” by Ed- gar A. Guest. I trust that you may remember it in the years to come and that it may help you in all things to lead that nobler and better Christian life. “This I would ask; not that I shall be spared Trials of disappointment, loss or pain, But that my soul with courage be prepared To meet the conflict and to stand the strain.” MRS. WILL L. CLIFTON.
