Tribute to the Faculty Abraham Lincoln in some ways was not as for- tunate as students of Lincoln High for he did not have an untiring faculty to aid him in his educa- tion. . 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-

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. T. 112.-
