JONES THEONE BRANT Secretary ot' School Board Secretary to Principal -6- To The Seniors What would Abraham Lincoln have donc with the chances for an education which have been afforded you in Lincoln High School these past few years? Yet this man, whose name we revere today, and without whose un- usual character, unparalleled judgment and iarsightedness, and with-out whom we would not have this nation today, entered his great struggle not only for immortal fame, but for actual existence with the greatest educational handicaps of any of our presidents. Commander-in-Chief of the Northern ies? Was it because he was witty? Or because of his stability of character makes his name endure? Web- ster City, and we are constantly reminded of our debt to Abr-aham Lincoln of the union in which we live, for the state in which We live, an-d for the school we are permitted to attend. Let us honor and revere the name as long as we are permiated to live. Success to you. May the inspiration on the influence of the Lincoln statue you have passed daily, these We have much to be thankful for in three years, carry you far. Sincerely, BURRUS E.

JOHNSON The ultimate goal of education is citizen- ship. You reach this goal in one of two ways? Q19 After graduation from high school, you may .receive specialized training in some institution of advanced learning. Having then received technical training. you will establish yourself in a profession or business and become an active citizen in the affairs of that community. C29 After graduation from high school, you may obtain a job or position immediately, either in this community or some other. In either case, you, as an intelligent young man or woman, will be expected to assume the rights and duties of citizenship. Independent thought is the strength of our nation. Be an active citizen and remember that Abe Lincoln once predicted. that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Congraulations on you graduation and may your success be great. OSCAR G. JOHNSON -7- 'Q 'EY The Faculty OSCAR G. JOHNSON Principal and General Adviser of Torch Iowa State Teachers' College: B. S.

Consider that I laboured not for myself alone, yt, , but for all those that seek learning. Such can be said of our entire faculty. It hasqindeed been a N - ' rare privilege to spend our years in. high school under their patient guidance. When our ways become divided and we sail forth into the sea of life, weshall thank our teachersvforgwhaftever 'successfwe shall attain. We, the graduating class of 1940, wish to ex- press our appreciation to the faculty for the many ways in whichwyou have made our sojourn in s Lincoln High both memorable and worth while. 110- Classes SL-J Class Poem The class of '40 stood eager and gay, On the threshold of life commencement day, And a weary old traveler met them there And warned them of pit-falls on 1ife's thoroughfare. The class of '40 stood ready to go, But the old man was speaking, so painful and slow, And they listened, his question was one that he shared With each new detachment, Are you prepared? The class of '40 stood quiet, then dared, To answer as one, We are Prepared. Prepared by our teachers and classmates so fine, Prepared by our motto, 'True to the 1ine.' 'Upward and onward and true to the line,' Through each coming year our motto will shine, To guide us and teach us, inspire us to give A11 that we areg to help us to live. J.

Not that we seniors feel aged and superior, but we get a lot of pleasure out of remembering. Take for instance way back in first grade when those two cutups Mary Ruth and Miriam colored on their desks, a crime punishable by an hour after school. Somehow we passed on to second grade where we didn't need so much help putting on our galoshes, and we began our readin', writin', and 'rithmetic in earnest. Brad reminds us that our football player, Mud Greenley was the best artist in the class in third grade. His painted ships out-sailed all others. And then our first days in Washington Central! Here our memory becomes a jumble of recesses, fox-and-geese, towering freshmen, and valentine boxes, fremember when Willetta got those suckers from a now well-known basketball player?J Will we ever forget those first days in junior high? Our despair over losing the recess period was partly atoned for, by the chapel programs which we were privileged to attend every Monday morning. Upward and onward, and finally we were freshmen! Our graduation was certainly unique-not many classes can boast an honest-to-goodness faint in the midst of their ninth grade completion day play! It was with some forbodings that we Hgreeniesl' entered Lincoln High, but we soon found that for friendliness, no one can beat these Lincolnites! Here we were right at home amidst the strange smells of the chemistry lab Cnext year we helped cook them upj, and thedelicious odors wafting from the cooking room! Then that never-to-be-forgotten junior year. That night in Hawaii for which we worked so hard! One heavenly' night and our junior-senior prom was a memory tucked away with nutcups, programs and Hawaiian leis. Here we are seniors. Now that we've reached this exalted stage in our history we find that along with the triumph of graduation and the expec- tation of full years ahead, we feel a little regret at the thought of leaving behind our happy school days. Always, though, we can remember the good cheer, with malice toward none. -221 v Iunior Class nt .,..........,..................... GEORGE McINTOSH Vice President ..................... .......

Declamatory This year the declamatory work was done by Miss Killerlain, with the humorous division, Miss Schnittjer, the oratorical, and Miss Graves, the Dramatic. Much hard and conscientious work was done in preparation, but at Stratford our entries, though doing excellent work, were eliminated.

The result of this, is a poiition on one of the teams which enter in various contests in the spring to win honors for our high school. Miss Robinson instructs the Hrst year shorthand classes, advanced typ- ing, and the office practice students. Miss Haahr is responsible for the beginning typists. Another thing which the contestants for the teams must keep in mind is that they are not chosen simply for their rate of speedg accuracy is con- sidered more important and Lincoln High prizes more highly an honor in accuracy than one in speed. Much hard work and practice takes place on the part of these students because they aren't allowed to win these positions and cease their workg they must be constantly improving to retain them. -.3 3.- Front Rizir: E.

Home Management Cne of the many valuable things to be learned in our school is Home Management, which deals with vital home problems, such as housing, rent- ing, selecting furnishings, interior decorating, budgeting the income, the selection and making of clothing, and-by no means least-how to plan and prepare a good meal. Under the efficient guidance of Miss Mildred Moore, the Home Manage- ment class has been unusually active this year and this work cannot fail to make the home a better place in the community.

Without it, the com- munity would be either nonexistent or a replica of a western ghost towng a few idly sprawling buildings, grinning a green, ghastly smile at progress. The remnants of lost perspective. In my community, art is not only symmetry of lineg the magic notes of the psrimma donnag nor even the masters stroke of the camel's hair. Art is simplicity. The little things that cement to- gether the ties of human friendship. Little things people sought for centuries, and after finding, utilized, in their pursuit of happiness. Art is a windy fall day, when Autumn sends red-gold, leafy messages flying through the air, and Junior and Sally scuffle through layefrs of leaves as they play safely in well-equipped parks and playglrounds. Or, art is the ringing of church bells on a cold, clear, frosty morning, beckoning with fingers of harmony to the more leisurely groups of two's and threefs as they peacefully wend their way to the village churches. Art is not only the ability to create beautiful things, nor even personal appreciation of that creation. Art is that something that nourishesg that stimulatesg that inspires the individual respond to beauty. Consequently, the members of my community try to make their homes and places of business more pleasurable, not only for themselves, but also for others. They strive for better citizenshipg for a greater civic program, and for a higher standard of living that they may keep pace with the requirements a modern village places upon them. Last of all, in my community, art is the foundation of a person- ality so vital, visitors find it irresistible and never to be forgotten. 146.- Athletics I. was 9- . if :li -, P sf 1 3 t Q , N ,ra x , xizetlifgt Q - -? i-.e,v D 21-6 X xvtx 'X fl -155 T- ' Q:-M 5X -- 1 ix ' Xb Exxx hs f ' -47- w V, wx ,.

LAlVlSON LEONARD SKOGLUND Coach Lamsom came to the Webster City school system in 1929 as junior college bafketball coach and assistant high school football coach. He became head coach ot' high school football, basketball and track teams in 1936, and proceeded to put the Lynx on the Iowa athletic map. His record has been remarkable during his five years as high school coach. His basketball teams have become one of the top threats in the state: taking part in three state tournaments out of five years' competi- tion. Lams has made excellent Webster City football history. A team coached by R. W. Lamson shows polish and each member is filled with the never give up and a team that won't be beat-can't be beat attitude. Skcglund has completed his fourth year as junior college basketball coach. high school baseball coach. and assistant high school football coach. His baseball team turned in a great record this yearg winening the county and conference baseball tourtnamtnts. This year Coach Skoglund developed the most outstanding team in the history of W. C. J. C. basketball. His team won First place in their highly con- tested conference, second place in the Northwest Iowa Conference Tournament, and madc a fine showing in the State J. C. Basketball Tournament. Mr. Skoglund is to bc highly commended in having developed a winning Junior College team of which Webster City is justly proud. First R1 xv: K. Nichols, M.

They put in gruelling early morning practices before school started in the fallg to mold one of the Lynx's most remarkable football teams. The team proved to be fairly light for the competition it was to meet but this matter was overcome by its prevalent dc- ception. The two setbacks our Lynx suffered this year were, by no means, the measure of the Ieam's offense. In both the Clzxrion and Iowa Falls games the Lynx rushes and onslaughts were more brilliant and spec- tacular than their rivals. The extremely heavier lines of these teams proved superior enough to nose out our scrappy Lynx. -50. gh Football Team The team was stunned in early season by the loss of :1 'X spark plug in the person of Joe Q ' Seger, clever running quarter R' PAWERSONY T- 32- back who was forced to the sidelines on account of knee u , injuries.

He was hindered slightly by his knee injury suffered in football: hut, in spite of this, Joe came back to carry on as the spark-plug of the Lynx attack. Joe was featured by spectacular pass work and dribbling. His long set-shots thrilled spec- tators and helped usher the Lynx to a successful season, Joe will be lost by graduation and it will be difficult for the coaches to fill the shoes of this able veteran. JAMES BURNETT-Center. Jim was a spectacular workhorse on this year's team. He was most effec- tive when the chips were down. He battled undaunt- ed throughout every game, Turk was an essen- tial cog on both offense and defenseg a very good one-handed shot from the pivot and angle spots. He was an excellent rebounder and his scoring ability resulted in making him the leading scorer for the Lynx, Jim's teammates elected him honorary cap- tain for the year. He is a senior and his cage ability will he sorely missed next year. DON ROSSVFordward. Don's speed and eleverness combined with his uncanny ability to hit the basket. made Rossie what he is. It was thrilling to watch Don as he repeatedly hit those beautiful swishers. Ile piled up a remarkable scoring record, finishing second only to Burnett. Throughout Don's basket- ball career. he has been a dependable defensive per- former and has received the assignment of guarding th opposition's best man. Ross is lost by graduation and will be missed next year when another Lynx team rounds out. 1 X ..52... a regular and he will be back next year to enlarge his basketball prowess. Sam is small but plays an excellent floor game constantly scrapping for the ball. His basket-eye proved a distinctive asset to the Lynx attack. Next season. we look for Sam to add a grand climax to his brilliant cage career. WALTER MILLER4Guard. This was Walt's first year as a regular. In spite of this, he played the game like a veteran. He was the tallest man on the team and made use of this characteristic for excellent rebounding and great defensive play. His deter- mination was never ending and he should be com- mended for his hard work. developing into a fine basketball player, Walt will leave a gapping hole in the Lynx back court. RALPH CLAVE-Forward. Ralph was the shifty pinch hitter. whenever needed. Though small in stature, he often filled a most important key position. and his services will be missed by the team of 1941, ..,. --se .tt.-lt.t . . JAMES MAXSON-V-Forward. Jim won his second letter in basketball this year. Jim was a wiry fighter when he was called upon. He had a good basket eye from any place on the court and was a dependable ball handler throughout his basketball days. Jim is a senior and will be lost by graduation, LYLE NAYl,ORv-Forward. This was Lyle's first year on the A squad but when he was called upon, he fought. his heart out, for Lincoln High, Lyle is a rangy lad and saw considerable action this year. He is a good shot around the basket and should be a dependable regular on next year's cage team. RICHARD STARK-Guard. Dick came to the squad this year a rugged and improved basketball player. He must be commended for his never-tiring efforts: fighting relentlessly throughout every minute he played. As a senior, Richard won his first letter in basketball, and we say give us more good clean athletes, like Richard Stark. .-5 3-. JOHN OSTLUND-WForward. John is only a sophomore and is sure t obe one of the finest ball players Web- ster City has known. He played a great deal this yearg and when he was on the flood, he handled him- self like a veteran. John is an expert on every type of shot. You'll see plenty of Johhnie in the next two years. ROBERT WHITSON-Guard. As a junior this year, Bob came to the A squad to make a splendid record for himself. He saw a great deal of action at guardg and was a capable rebound getter and a demon on defense. Bob will live up to expectations and make a good all around performer next year. DAN CHASE-Forward. Don is only a junior. He is one of the finest shots on the squad. 1-le earned his first letter this year and will be back scrapping again next year. He is a very aggressive eager and will be an asset in next year's lineup. F We 1 .Eff my 1 r Front Rowi R. Whitson, J. Burnett, J. Seger, S. Ades, D, Ross, W. Miller. Back Row: Coach R. W. Lamson, D.

Basketball A Squad SUMMARY Seven lettermen and a lofng line of other material reported to Coach Lamson this year. The squad was cut several times until it was down to a very small A squad of 13 or 14 boys. The team was small in size but fast this year. The team developed into the speediest and sharpest shooting team known to the Lynx for many years. These aggressive lads burned up all the courts in the North Cent1'al Conference to win undisputed first place without a setback in conference competition. Playing one of the longest and most guelling schedules carded by any prep team in Iowa, the Lynx came roaring home with a remarkable record, having rolled up 22 victories against 4 defeats. Two losses were at the hands of the strong Mason City Mohawksg one by Roosevelt of Des Moines and once by West Waterloo. The 39-40 basketball team was featured by splendid team work, clever ball handling and endless determination. throughout each 32 minutes of play- ing time. These boys deserve a great deal of credit for hard work in de- veloping a team that will be long remembered by Lynx fans. Joe Segar, James Burnett, Don Ross, Walter Miller, Ralph Clave, James Maxson and Richard Stark are lost by graduation this year. D FLEISCHER R LEE .LUKEHART K.

During this period, much development of skill and good sportsmanship is always noticeable. ' The sectional tournament, this year, was held at Jewell, February 28, 29, March 1 and 2, and Webster City Lynx brought home the beautiful sectional trophy. .' ' l On March 7, 8 and 9, the Lynx went into tough competition with the Mason City Mohawks and met elimination at the hands of the powerful team that easily outdistanced all other competitors in the whole state. The Lynx made a most creditable record, having been defeated only at the hands of the Iowa State Champions. Team Work Specials R. W. LAMSON CHAS. ASHBY L. SKOGLUND 156-. Front Row: S.

Band The 1939-1940 season was an eventful and highly successful year for the band. Driving forward under the impetus of a State Class A Championship, and nationally superior clarinet groups, the band purchased new uniformsg portable risers were constructed for daily and concert use, added a new harp, two sousaphones and five string basses to the list of school owned instruments. Major events during the season were seven football parades and exhibitions, three city parade jobs and representatives of the Webster City Elks in their state convention parade. A II division rating was secured in the state marching contest held at Iowa Falls. Other activities were the Tag Day sale for new uniforms, the Globe Trotters Benefit ball game, representation during the summer- months in the city band and entry in state and national Contests. Small groups and soloists from the band were highly successful in state and national competition and entries were made in every solo event and nine ensembles. Several groups presented broadcasts cver radio stations WOI, KFJB and KVFD. Using the system of chevrons instigated by Mr. McNutt a few members of the band earned the highly prized gold medal for outstanding work in instrufnental music and at the same time the band ranking system has caused the band to study both individually and as a group, many of the larger works including Schubert's Unfinished, Dvorak's New World, and Tschaikowsky's Fifth Symphony. Tone poems by Sibelius and Liszt, Suites from Alantis, Coppelia, and Peer Gynt, Headlines and Norwegian Rhapsody, Rienza Siegfrieds Rhine Journey, and Le Soccier Apprenti. An invitation to attend the New York Wo-rld's fair closed the year. -52- Front Row: J. Beard, H. Wcstervelt, O. Kurtz, L. Darnell, K. DcFrancc, B. Erincls, J. Lee, W. Yanney, G. Harris, J.

' Qrchestra The school orchestra under the batcn of Paul McNutt has grown from a band of loosely knit violin players to a well disciplined symphony orchestra with a per- fectly balanced string section. Players for the woodwind, brass and percussion sections are selected from the tlrst chair position in the band. Included in the repertoire of music studied this year are two Beethoven and Haydn symphonies, several Strauss Waltzes, the Bach G Minor Choral Prelude and Fugue and various lighter numbers for string ensemble. Miss Ethel Bjorklund, in- structor of violin, is to be given credit for her private work with the strings. The orchestra presented two concerts during the year, sold tickets for the Hans Muenzer violin recital, assisted in several school plays and was active in assisting with the Band Uniform fund. The string section appeared at the Iowa State Fair during the summer months and smaller sections of the orchestra were heaird over radio stations WOI, KVFD and KFJB. The orchestra entered the district and state music contests and from the entire unit several small ensembles appeared, including the string trio, string quartette and cello, bass and violin soloists. They were successful in district and state com- petition as well as the Iowa Federation of Music Clubs annual state contest held at Ames. an I'm'11 N nn' P. !Xl Nu'l. I.. I-S':1cls 1l, B. Fwxxlu-'.

Junior Class Play Fast moving comedy, replete with action, revolving about the schemes of Buddy Carhart and his two young henchmen, Paul and Shrimpie-that is the story. After Buddy's father donates a hand press to the boys, the three start a weekly publication The Harrisville Town Topics. Havoc results when Lillums, a pretty sixteen year old, splits the ties that bind the three young musketeers, who are confirmed woman haters, when she plays one against the other. b Buddy's father becomes involved in a serious bank shortage and Buddy takes it ulpon himself to track down the culprit, and the end he attains only after a series of hilarious miszldventures. Torch Benefit Play The Torch Benefit Play, Ready Made Family, a hilarious farce, required a cast of ten members, and was ably directed and staged by Miss Barbara Graves. The plot cen- tered around an attempt to break up thc second marriage of Mr. Henry Turner to Mrs. Martin, Inasmuch as both parties have grown children. who possess fertile imaginations, there were many and variouscomplications. Fits, kleptomania, and Simple Simon stunts were ever present to say nothing of the tedious lady who loved to discuss her operation. Plots and counter plots produced general misunderstanding until a divorce was imminent. But the principals eventually began to suspect the whole thing, and soon turned the tables, skillfully upon the young schemers. The young people took it on the chin and soon learned to like the whole situation. Much clever acting and repartee and gales of laughter pervaded the play. The cast, which was selected from all grades of Lincoln High, was as follows: Agnes Martin , MARGARET SELBY Bob ., . , HARRY McKEE Marilee ., ,., .. . ,.....PATTYE JENSEN Gracie LAVONNE LICHTENBERGER Miss Lydia ..

Senior Class Play Spring Fever A very lively three-act play, 'Spring Fever, was presented as the annual Senior Class Play. . The story centers around the home of Mrs. Spangler, who keeps roomers, in the college town of Brookiild. The little town is suddenly stricken with spring fever, and the erstwhile peaceful home is suddenly the scene of amaz- ing occurrences, produced by science students, art students and journalism students, whose aims go to cross purposes with resulting complications that set the whole region agog. The plot contains hair breadth escapes from last minute failures in exams, the mistaken identity of an influential professor, a millionaire father, an aunt from California, and a student who experiments with explosives- and these explosives, of course, blow up at the wrong time! Thrilling and unexpected complications follow, but in the long run the mysteries clear up, Spring Fever has passed its crisis, and Mrs. Spangler's rooming house re- sumes its normal activities.

He turned up at school recently with a large patch over his nose. It seems that said nose got tangled up in one of his father's best cleavers. R. W. CFrank Buckl Lamson astounded the second period study hall by skillfully killing the three blind mice furnished to the study hall by Tom Ingertson. R. W'.'s glory reigned for but a short time as a shy young lady overshadowed his daring by picking up a fourth of the Ingertson mice by the tail and earring it to the front of the room, and handing it to Lamson, who immediately put it to a cruel death. We men contend that high school people of the fair sex should live up to former reputation and flabbergast- edly retreat from the dangerous specie of mammal-the cruel courageous criminal rodentia-otherwise known as the mouse. A few of our most respected athletes came to school, at different times this year, with the most peculiar haircuts I've ever seen. This is no slam at the Webster City barbers as from what I hear, this cutting job was not meant to be a professional clipping. ln fact, I think the cutting was down-2 by some of the most careless' barbers in this vicinity. Why, 'they didn't even use an even edged bowl. If it were a bowl they used, I don't think it would hold much soup. The shearing jobs ranged from a short, jagged shingle to a head shave with an occasional wisp of hair to make the person an outstanding individual. Shucks, Pm gonna tell you what it all meant.- It was nothing more than one of the harsh tactics employed' by the Honour W for its initiation. Note to a. lazy barber: This will prove a very effective method for getting rid of customers for there has. never, in the history of the Honor W, been a repeat jonbi oinm the haircut. Note- to ambitious barber: Put in your application early for trimming these so-called haircuts, because the boys are somewhat self-conscious of the covndition of their- would-be attractive locks. The old poet has said, In the spring the young man's fancy lightly turns to thought of ---J' Well, now look at J. G. and W. M. or even S. A. and P. M. Why, two members of our faculty even had thoughts of ii and found it was a reality. Why, maybe that old boy was right when he said, In the spring the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of LOVE. .75- Pre-State Music Contest The most outstanding event of this sch-ool year was the preliminary state music contest held here April 4, 5 and 6. For three days the halls of Lincoln High and Washington Central, as well as the Methodist and Univer- salist Churches, resounded to the rhythmic beats of vocal and instrumental music. Two thousand, four hundred and seventy-six young musicians gave their all to some form a rendition in the hope that their effort might be awarded with a Division I rating, which would entitle them to a chance at state championship. Webster City musicians made the finest showing in the history of the school and broke the state record formerly held by Iowa City, by winning 24 Division I ratings. Included in these 24, were 136 students-proof that the musical advantages of this school are not limited to a privileged few. The extra training required to produce musicians of such high caliber is offered free and yet the results in ability, poise, and character cannot be bought. ' With this thought in mind, Webster City students and boosters got be- hind this contest and made it one of the most successful in the state. An interesting note was the fact that Ula May West, a junior, belonged to nine groups which, rated Divisionl, while Leone Svenson and Marilyn Zolnosky were each in five of those winning top honors. A complete list of Webster City groups that won the right to go to the state contest held in Storm Lake late in April, was as follows: Girls' glee club, mixed chorus, band, orchestra, girls' sextet, woodwind, quintet, chamber group of brass, string quartet, string trio, chamber group of woodwinds, B-fat.cla1-inet quartet, mixed clarinet quartet, miscellaneous group of strings.
