Notwithstanding the large number of extras, Principal O. G. Johnson has managed to find room for everybody, and the school has run happily under his guidance, his leadership has been char- acterized by balanced judgment and tactful con- sideration for all parties. As General Adviser for the Torch, the staff feels much indebted to Mr. Johnson for his un- failing patience, competent advice, and hearty co- operation in producing this yearbook. The Staff takes pleasure in dedicating the 1939 issue of the Torch to our able Principal, Mr. Oscar Johnson. ll Administration F. A. Kayser, Mrs. M. F. McKee, Dr. H. D. Wold, Mrs. C. A. Lowell, A. B Halverson, Helen Jones Board of Education The modern world needs Thinkers. The primary purpose of an education is to teach young men and Women how to think. In this age of controversial philosophies of government, of many different religious faiths, of unsettled and unbalanced economic conditions throughout the world, it will take a multitude of THINKERS, Working overtime, to bring about settled conditions, and give all peoples an equal opportunity of enjoying the better things of life. Those gaining most from their education, are those men and women who have not only learned to think, but who have VISION. The Board of Education feels that this class of 1939 has learned the art of clear thinking, and it, therefore concludes that the taxpayer's money expended on their education, has been wisely spent. We hope that among this group, many men and women of VISION will be found, and that there will also be THINKERS of the future, who will leave some mark of distinction for their generation. A. B. HALVERSON, President of Board of Education. HELEN E. JONES Secretary of School Board 6 To the Seniors of 1939 Congratulations to you upon your success- ful completion of your work in the public schools of America, climaxed with a diploma from your beloved Lincoln High School. Your record of achievement will stand through the years as your memorial, be it fair or foul, whatever you have made it. Our heartiest congratulations to you upon your efforts, especially if your efforts represent your best. As you open the door to life's school our very best wishes go with you on the long, long journey across the years. Again you are constructing a memorial for yourself which may also serve as a guide to other travelers along the same road. I hope that you will remember that God smiles on the man or woman. who, through honest toil, attempts to better himself and society. Good-bye and good luck to you! BURRUS E BEARD, A. B. and lVl. A.. S. U. I. S'lPT. BURRUS E. BEARD To the Class of l939 As you close your book on the last chapter of your elementary and secondaiy education, may I leave the following challenge with you? Many nations today are regimenting and training young men and women to .1 fixed pattern like a manufacturer produces machines. The training is so thorough and effective that these human beings respond like a machine responds. Individualism PRINCIPAL OSCAR G. JOHNSON is lost and crushed. Our great free nation is based on individuals. What have you to offer your fellow men as your contribution to society? Another ism you should remember, be- sides individualism, is Humanism. Show an interest in your fellow men, be of service, and there will be no doubt about the out- come of your contribution to those around you. Do not lose the Traditionalism you have gained in Lincoln High School. Be a winner! Have the courage to go ahead when the going gets tough. Accept the congratulations of the faculty and myself upon your graduation from high school. We wish you success and happiness. OSCAR G. JOHNSON, B. S. at I. S. T. C.

There are all kinds of autos, ranging from high powered Packards to the modest Model Ap They are all there, to be guided along the 'fLincoln High Way. To you, the drivers and mechanics of our class of '39, we Wish to express our deep appreciation for having guided us safely through our courses of study. For three years, you have unfailingly steered us straight, helped us climb the hills we chanced to meet, and helped us to avoid all the rough spots. Our class will always be indebted to you for having driven us so skillfully along the way. I io Classes Class Poem Halls of learning, spacious and wide- Open new portholes, give a greater stride. Opportunities came-new ones will come, For there are many victories we have won. Thankful for teachers and for books-and lest We forget, our motto- Do only your best. It urged us on into straighter ways, Clearer thinking and more useful days. Now that we graduate, we are not through With the motto that has proven so true. We will use it in our later years, For with that in mind, we shall have no fears No worthless days and incomplete work, We'll remember our motto and never shirk. V. C.

Whoever would have thought Tub's little sister Ann, would be grown up enough to be graduating this spring, or Merlin's little sister Betty would be standing in line with cap and gown, or the little Boeye boy, Johnnie, besides countless others, will be lost to Lincoln High through graduation? We who started kindergarten together, sat in the little red chairs and tried to distinguish colored balls of yarn, recall our days in Lincoln High as profitable and not lost. Remember when Miss Lane tied Gertie's mouth shut with a paper towel because she was a naughty little girl and talked? Soon we had passed the days of marching up the stairs to the tune of victrola music and entered a wide, beautiful building. And, thrill of all thrills, Franny Hemingway beat up our future master yell leader, Kenny Pringle in a hard-fought, hand to hand battle! Later on, we passed into another hall of learning-senior high school, a building in which the students work harmoniously and study, and have fun on the side. And above all things, how could we forget our wonderful prom! How we hated to tear down our pretty decorations-precious blue and white bits of paper were carefully put away as souvenirs by us sentimentalists. At longblast-we are the seniors! Not stuck-up, we hope, but ones who are proud of Lincoln High, which in turn, is proud of us. Our education has just started, we are thankful for the fine courses, opportunities, teach- ings, and other activities we have received in our course of training. The year, 1939, has made alilasting impression on all our minds as our most happy and profitable year in high school. , 7 In Memoriam . ,ii,.- -' Upon graduating, the senior class experiences ,regret that? .2 there is a vacancy in the long line of seniors. ,Q up , 1 Richard Eggers, our former chum, became ill with pneu- ,, . monia during his freshman year and passedfaway. We t sincerely regret his absence, and therefore desire to dedicate this space to a boy who would most certainly have graduated with high honors. 22 Junior Class Class Pnesident ...... ........

Quill ond Scroll The Quill and Scroll class had the largest enrollment ever in its history this year with 18 in the class. Each student had only two opportunities to be editor. Each Wednesday, The Schools Journal which is edited by the journalism class, appears in the Freeman-Journal. The class has entered various contests throughout the year with several members receiving honorable mention. The entire class attended the Iowa High School Press Association Convention held this fall at Ames. The journalism class is a member of the Quill and Scroll Society, the Iowa High School Press Association, and the National Scholastic Press Association, and is ably directed by Miss Ethel Swanson. Left to right: Arlene Miller, Frankie Jo Pliley, Wayne Maudlin, Bob Yockey, Ralph Clave, Margaret Louise Mitterling and Betty Nelson Student Council The Student Council has charge of many plans for the carrying out of extra- curricular activities. They have planned the chapel programs for the year and had general supervision of the homecoming. The Student Council has also made arrange- ments for the use of a tennis court, and for the enjoyment of various other leisure activities. Early in the fall, each class elected one member and the faculty also chose a member from each class, to the council. A representative at large was also chosen by the classes, and this was Ralph Clave. Officers President ......... ................. ,...,. . .

Commercial Department The commercial department this year has progressed rapidly. The first year students have been learning the fundamentals of secretarial duties. Their work has included letter writing, tabulation, centering, and the making of booklets which con- tain their own examples as well as the directions. The second year group, besides receiving training, has had actual experience doing work for the different departments in th school, as well as much extra curric- ular. This has included the typing of tests for teachers., school ballots, plays, pro- grams for Woman's Club and Citizenship School, a history of Mount Zion Church, and all the letters for the Red Cross Seal Campaign. They have also done considerable clerical work for dentfl clinics in the school. The record for the first semester shows 10.366 pages of extra work.

Normal Training Club The normal training club is composed of twenty-nine members, nine of which are seniors, the remainder juniors. It holds its meetings every two months. Its purpose is to produce a better feeling among the girls through educational programs and social meetings, and to bring to them practical values and uses of education. Through those means they have developed better cooperation and a greater interest in the work and projects of the class room. The club presented a one-act comedy entitled Thanks Awfully, which was enjoyed by everyone. This was given in the Lincoln assembly. Officers President ......... .............

It has also studied how to employ leisure time to best advantage, and the problems of food and clothing in the family. Miss Mildred Moore has directed the work so ably, that the students have been deeply interested, and better living conditions in the homes of the future, are sure to result. ' ' 35 Front Row: R.

These meetings, held every week on Wednesday under the supervision of C. P. Lenz, were carried out as a series of educational reports on biological topics. Everyone took an active part with a keen desire to make this Biology Club life successful. The out- standing feature of the year was a party attended by all the biology classes and held in the basement of the South Building.

In explaining a thoroughbred, Dr. Sayers gave many fine examples of true thorough- breds. Through this talk, he inspired many to nobler and better deeds. Donald-Scott Morrison gave a musical ap- preciation concert. Through his conversa- tion and playing, he showed the evolution of music from the beginning of time, explain- ing and illustrating various rhythms. 3. 4. Misner Players of Omaha presented the play Rip Van Winklev' to the pupils of the W. C. Schools. The play was very entertaining, showing Rip and his home life before and after his twenty year snooze. Carthage College Male Quartet entertained the students of Lincoln High by several voice numbers and a piano solo by a faculty member, accompanist of the quartet. 5. A group of Sioux Indians gave a real demonstration of tribal practices, in in Lincoln Auditorium, which was of historical as well as scenic value. Tribal dances, invoking rain, the worship of the sun, and the death chant, were presented. Perhaps the performance of the ritual of the Medicine Man, at the death of a child, will be most vividly remembered. 3 . wg M ,Q 3 ,ij , ,J E 'Lx fu? -if 4 ic 3 M5 , ' . 8 nf Q vf4rfgfMQ A :P WW. 142.3 Q si' VJ. .

I-loner The membership, consisting of those boys who have been awarded their W, has kept this an organization with a purpose. The importance of good SDOl'tSITl21U5hip- fair play, and willing cooperation, has been impressed upon them. Recent years have brought to this group, boys of splendid physical ability as well as those ranking high in scholastic standing. Its main function is the operation of a check room for' basketball games, and its semi-annual initiation exercises. President ........ ..... ....... J O E SEGER Vice President .......... .........

A squad of seven lettermen and other capable. but light boys worked hard to produce a good team. With a line averaging not over 145 pounds, and a backtield of 150 pounds, the Lynx stood off the threats of many heavier opponents. The team perfected its time plays, and with its deception plays, were able to win three, tie one and lose four games. The out- standing game was the Armistice garne with Clear Lake there. The- heavier Lions pushed us around, but could not stcp our offensive threats which gave uv a well-earned 20-7 victory. Backfield-J. Brandrup, J. Sieger, J. Boeye, J. McCollough. Line-W. Maudlin, M.

Bob had one of the best left handed shots ever to be witnessed on the Lynx floor. His rebounding ability and basket eye, made him a leading scorer. Bob is a senior and will leave a gaping hole to be filled. JOE SEGER-Guard. This was Joe's. second year as a regular. His dribbling was a pleasure to watch. His basket eye was greatly improved and next year will be a real threat. Joe was a great ball hawk, too. JOHN BOEYE-Center. One of the main cogs in the Lynx machine, and a veteran of three seasons was this lad, John Boeye. Noted for both his offense and defense ability, John climaxed his high school basketball career with this his final year. The team next year will miss him a great deal. i X K SAM ADES-Forward. Only a sophomore, Sam has one of the best basket eyes on the squad. Sam is a good fighter and never gives up. He will develop more with the next two years of play. DON ROSS-Forward. Don, also a letter win- ner of last year, gave the foes plenty to talk about with his scrapping ability. Don was one of the best defensive players on the squad., he could take care of the best of them. Don will be back next year after his third letter. JAMES BURNETT-Guard. Chuck was un- doubtedly one of the best ball hawks in the conference. His uncanny ability to gather in rebounds made the bigger boys feel sick. Whenever the game was close, Chuck was always there. This is his first year as a regular and he will be back next year. P A sf VERNON DOTY-Guard. Vernon was a senior and his best came out every time he played. He was one of the most capable reserves because of his basket eye. He will be miss- ed next year. JIM MAXSON-Forward. Jim was also a small lad, but made up for it with his unending determination. He played hard all the time and won his letter. He is a junior. RALPH CLAVE-Forward. Ralph was the smallest player on the squad. But this didn't stop him because he gave his best every time he was called on. He is a junior and will be a needed asset to the team next year. -Z? n PAA41Af' f BUD BRANDT-Center. Bud was the tallest man on the squad. His rebounding ability improved as the year went along. This was Bud's first year on the A squad and he played enough quarters to win his HW. He is a senior. HOWARD PETERSON-Guard. Howard is a WA senior. He played hard every chance he got and will be missed next year. This was his second year on the NA squad. LTER MILLER-Guard, This was Wa1t's second year on the A squad. Walt was a good defensive player and will be back next year to do his best. rbffgviiw W , K AK A Basketball A Squad Summary Three letter winners and a host of other boys turned out at the first call for the 38-39 basketball season. The material being small but fast, Coach Lamson knit a team that Lincoln High was proud of. They finished third in the conference, although they beat the champions and second place winners. The Lynx played by far the toughest schedule ever played by any Lincoln High team. Twenty-three games, against such competition as Franklin High of Cedar Rapids, West Waterloo, Roosevelt, D. M., Dowling, D. M., Sac City, Mason City, and Centerville. Bob Titsworth, a transfer from Blairsburg was a great help to the team the second semester. The team work, spirit and friendliness of all the squad was an outstanding feature and one to be proud of. John Boeye, Bob Titsworth, Vernon Doty, Bud Brandt, and Howard Peterson are seniors. .

The tourney was given to Stratford and the Lynx set about to bring home another trophy. Jewell was the first team to fall before the scrappy Lynx. The score was 40-16. In the finals played Saturday night, Stanhope felt the grip of fear as the Lynx put on the power and won 37-8. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Next in line came the district tourney. Webster City received the bid and was named one of the eight places where the district meets were held. All the school was busy making posters, signs and hanging decorations. The Wednesday came and sixteen high school fives started to battle it out on the Lynx floor. The Lynx took the floor at 9:30 against Rockwell City and came through with a 30-21 victory. Britt was next in line and once again the Lynx pulled from behind to win by a 16-14 margin. Into the district finals went the Lynx against the powerful Rolfe team, coming through with the greatest surprise of the district, a score of 23 to 21 in favor of the Lynx. STATE TOURNAMENT The Lynx entered the state finals as one of the best sixteen teams in the state for the second consecutive year. They drew Sac City in the first round and were eliminated at 3:10 Thursday, March 16. This was the second time Segar and Boeye aimed their shots in the Drake field house. Ross, Burnett, Clave, Miller, and Doty were on the 1937-38 squad, but did not see action. The first time presented a thrill to Titsworth, Ades, Maxson, Peterson, and Brandt. The Lynx, although outclassed by the great Sac City team, received many favor- able comments on their- fight and scrap.

The Webster City school band, under the supervision of Paul McNutt, well deserves an acknowledgement in our year book. This year Mr. McNutt has organized a group of musicians who have presented concerts every six weeks for the enjoyment of the general public. In the fall, the band played at our football games, and we congratulate it on the pep and enthusiasm it aroused among the players and fans. The marching band journeyed to Eagle Grove in October, to take part in the Marching Band Concert where they were classed in Division 2, a rating to be proud of. The concert band entered the district music contest, also held at Eagle Grove. One of the main high- lights for the band was the State Music Festival held in Webster City at which time the junior and senior high bands acted as hosts. The personnel of the band includes members from the junior high through the senior high. Our hats are off to Mr. McNutt for producing such a well organized unit. 62 First Row: C. Chritenson, E.

Junior Class Play A Bear Deception A Bear Deception, a three act comedy, was presented Nov. 18 by the junior class, under the direction of Miss Leola Clark. The scene is in the servants' head- quarters at a summer hotel which is owned by Mrs. Flumm. The servants, Sally, Dick, and Mike conspire to take the hotel away from Mrs. Flumm as Dick is its rightful owner. Mike finally finds the deed which proves Dick's ownership. In the second act the tables are turned and the guests and Mrs. Flumm are compelled to trade positions with the servants. The guests are afraid to leave the hotel because of fear of a lar-ge bear lurking outside. In reality the bear is but Sir Reginald dressed in a bear's costume. Mikie has told Sir Reginald that it is an American custom when wooing a girl to dress as a bear, and live for several days in the woods. Sir Reginald in trying to pay suit to Sally, carries out this advice with results. Y , S In the third eer, Mr. Hewitt, an ex-convict and Otto iieid up the hotel, but Mike saves the situation and everything ends happily. Sally and Dick add the love interest throughout the play. - CAST Sir Reginald .......... KENNETH EGLAND Mr. Gormerly .... WELDON BEIGHTOL Mike ..............................

E RNEST FISCHER Davenport ....,.. . ........., JACK SMITH The play was directed by Miss Margaret Conrardy. The play takes place in the New England states and concerns the will of the late Christopher Bean, an artist. Mr. Bean has left a few 'dirty convases to pay the doctor for his efforts to heal. It was a mild surprise to Doctor' Haggett and his family when an old friend of Bean's dropped in and paid Bean's old. bill, and only took away a couple of pictures as mementoes. It was a bigger surprise when another old friend of Bean's turned up on a similar errand, and the biggest of all when a great New York art critic arrived to pay his respects to the memory of the dead artist. It was overwhelming when they learned that Christopher's daubs were worth a fortune--and how they scurried to find them. There was one in the chicken coop and the daughter of the house had painted some flowers on the back of another, and Abby, the servant girl, had a portrait of herself in her room. A mad scramble ensues with Abby in the thick of it. And always in the scramble, the effect in the charac- ters of those involved is uppermost, always there is the flurry and distress of minds under the turmoil of actiong always through it is the lovable simplicity of Abby, to whom Christopher was an unmercenary memorry of di-stanthappiness.
