Dedication Lincoln High School has had an exceptional year, this period of 1938-39, with the largest en- rollment in its history. 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

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
