Shy-well, ask Stew Newman if his mother could leave him alone today on the first day of school. A bit ot' crying maybe helped mold Stew into his great athletic abilities. Getting to school on time was quite a problem for some of us. Take Ruth Fischer and Betty Ermels, those little girls didn't have strength enough to open the Kinder- garten doorg homeward they trotted after their mothers, to come to school and open it for them at five till nine. Can you remember the birthday treats, the siege of measles, fruit showers on the teachers, and Valentines Day? All of us had the trying time of obeying the order little children should be seen and not heard. Barbara Peterson and Miss Jacobson had several sessions regarding talking without permission, consequently Barbara was seen standing in the corner with a paper towel around her mouth. Onward to the fourth grade. Several strange things occurred in our last year in the South Building. Love notes were passed from row to row by girls who thought Malcolm Lewis and Charles lVloMurray were quite the ideal. Beverly .Shrelogg and Barbara Peterson fought over Malcolm Lewis fthe coming doctorl, while Carolyn Alexander and Velva Silver were against each other over Charley. How did Billy Burns' and Betty Ermels' al'I'air turn out? Bill left the country, that year Washington Central, here we comeg Junior High offered the delight ol' having -ckers and chapel every Monday morning. Completion Day came and now we were to have a try at Lincoln High School, the one and only in our estimation. Yes, green we were, but not for long. In our Sophomore year the Music Contest was one ol' the big events, especially for Norman Stal'l'ord who won lirst place on a trumpet solo at the State Contest. The girls' trio, of which Barbara MoCollough was the soprano, went to the National Contest, and received second. ln our Junior year the play The Obstinate Bride was a great success. 'Charlotte Downard, our leading lady, murmured UNOU at the alter, instead of t'YE.S. While Juniors, the banquet was our main feature and we are right proud of the happiness and good feeling it left with everyone. We worked hard and long and we'll never forget our time with the parachute, hanging from the middle of the ceiling. Now we leave good old Lincoln High, and all the memories of our school days, hoping it will give you the same full measure of joy it has given us.

Both rats are growing, but the one fed on milk and vegetables has grown much faster than the other one. Under the Smith-Hughes program, the Home Economics department con- ducts a lesson on Wednesday nights for ten weeks, for the benefit of adults in Home Making. Over sixty women have attended this course, directed by Miss Jennings and Miss Moore, and the demonstra- tions have been on best methods for food conservation, and for providing the highest nutritional values. This work is of great value to the commun- ity, in these days of food rationing. All lessons are free ot' charge.

Q ' A , 1- JIM PHILLIPS--QB-Senior After three years of football Jim proved himself a great back. He was a strong, shifty, speedy runner, great on defense, and was well known in the state. The team chose hiin as Co-C'ap- tain. 2-BOB MCCOLLOUGH--HB-Senior As a blocking back Bob was -Jut- standingg big and fast on his feet he lead interference on nearly every run- ning play. Big Mac and his fine team spirit will be hard to replace next .zea- son. 3-CHARLES lVICMURRAYAFB4Sr. Chuck suffered an ankle injury early in the yevar and was never at his best till the sc-ason's end. Being a hard blocker and tackler Mac played in every spot where he was needed throughout the season. il-WENDELL VVOODALL-IIEV -Senior Woody proved to be a keen and ac- Curatc passer, and an iinpnirtant cog in a n'ell-working machine. His depend- able playing and fine defensive work will be sorely missed by next year's loam. FOCDTBALI. 5-AGEORGE THOMPLSON-Gyuiard-Sr. The squirt on the squad, George made up for the lack of his size with a great fighting spirit. Whenever the going became tough George bore down and his alertness saved many a game. 6-JOHN HOVELAND-Guard-Junior Starting the season as an end Hove- land shifted over to guard to fill a weak spot. He developed rapidly and being rangy and fast he made a great defensive man. He will help lead the squad next year. 7-BOB HATHAWAY -Tackle-Senior The largest man on the squad Hath began football as an end but shifted to tackle this year. He played nearly the whole season without relief and suffered his only injury in the game with Iowa Falls. 8-BILL CHAUNCY--Tackle-Soph. As a freshman Bill proved to be a game player but suffered an illness and did no-t finish the season. Recovering, he came back this year he plaved throughout the ten game schedule with- out relief, 9-JOHN WILSON-End-Senior One of the two letter winners as a sophomore, Jomhn has played consist- enitly for three years. A strong defen- sive man and a fine pass catcher he leaves a good reputation for future ends to play by. 10-BRUCE WILSON--End-Junior Bruce was one of the few farm boys on the squad this year and had trouble making pfractice arrangements. Being only a Junior this year he will have a full season ahead of him. ll-J UNIOR ADAMS-Center-Junior Playing without glory all year Jun proved to be the main cog of our offensive weapon. In delivering the ball from center he had a perfect rec- ord and his defensive play always clicked. 12-RAY WILSON-Alt. Guard--Senior Though this was his first year out for football Ray made a much needed reserve, and when the pinch came he was always ready. His small size was covered by a fighting spirit. 1-ADEAN RICHEY7EilCli+Sl'fDhU'Il1UTS For a small man Dean made a fine, capable reserve. A fine runner and blocker he carried on whenever ne was need throughout the season. He will be a strong factor on the team of '43. 2--JOHN LACK--Ba ck-Senior Jolm suffered from a wrist injury in the first game with Boone and missed much of the season. Whenever in the game he was a great break- '-iv-v' runner and a constant threat to the enemy. ZSATOM lViCCARTHYvBackASenior Mae was a hard worker with plenty of desire to play football. Anx- ious to serve in any game he proved tio be a worthy substitute and will be missed next year in the reserve list. 4-DON CROUSE?Bacl:-Soqihonio'e Ugh made himself into a 'ine defensive back with determination :ind hard work. With his size and speed he should in his next two years become a fine, capable backfield man. 5-HELMER GANGSTAD-Guard-Sr. The guard position of the firs-t team provided a near competitor in Gang- ster Gangstad but a shift over to end during' the middle of the season :ave him an added duty to perform. 6-BILL HANSON-Guard-Senior His determination to play football was only exceeded by his hatred for Hitler. Bill, though smal.l in stature made himself an excellent example for all the others on the squad to follow. 7-DON MUNSTER-Tackle-Se-iior Don played for the first time this year and he soon eaueht onto the game. Ile was large, forceful, and fast mov- ing, and with his will power inade himself into a strong, capable reserve. 8-CLAYTON PACKARD!-Tackle-Sr. Pack came out late in the sea- son but after a short time developed into a fine back: short and stocky he was a good line plunger, passer and defensive man, who produced results. 9-NORMAN STAFFORD-End--Senior A hard worker with height, speed, and the desire to play, Norman made a place for himself on the te-am, dc- spite the great amount of time he spent on his music. 10-HUGH DOTY--Center Senior Playing a position of great respon- sibility Hugh, by hard practice, de- veloped into a capable center. Husky and stable he held his position, and could be depended upon to do his part whenever needed. LYNX OF 'I-L2 Practice for the Lynx began late in August and the players worked out every afternoon and some mornings until school started, Eleven lettermen were back and ready to avenge a poor season the year' before. A week before the first game the starting eleven began to get their timing and teamwork, and spirit was high. The first game, nonconference, was with the old rival and jinx, Boone, with Boone winning 119 to 6.

DICK NEWMAN-Senior--Center The tallest man on the starting tive Stew was a vital cog in the team. Using! his height to an advantage Dick controlled many rebounds and used his fine basket eye to hit the hoop on set shots from all over the floor.

For the first time in the history of Webster City High School, the Lynx reached the final round of the State Basketball Tournament and finished second only to Mason City, the large powerhouse. Playing together since seventh grade the five seniors developed basketball technique that was shown by their fine passing attack and steady teafn-work. With this as their background they were Conference Champs, winning nine conference games. Webster City defeated Alden, Eagle Grove and Jewell in the Sectional, and Alta. Fort Dodge and Rockwell City in the District, thus winning the right to compete in the State Tournament with Mason City, Davenport, Burlington. Sioux Center, Montour, Waverly and Council Bluffs. The Lynx defeated Burlington in the first round and Waverly in the semi-finals. In the final round battle against powerful Mason City the Lynx were outplayed but never outfought, and their mighty challenge in the first half sent 6,5110 spectitors in the fieldhouse screaming and yelling their ungs out, as the team matched theundefeated Mo hawks point for point, The third quarter found Mason City slowly going ahead and finally winning by 18 points. During the playing season the Lynx were not outstanding, and they were either hot or cold during a game, but at the start of the Sectional Tournament, the teani went to work and showed themselves capable of playing dependable and mutstanding basketball. Coach Bob Lamson, after three tries for the : tate crown in six years, took a team further up the success ladder than ever before--and the Spirts world of Iowa saw the evidence of his fine coaching and steadying influence on the tram. The season was completed when the Runner-Up trophy for 1.943 was presented to the school oy Dick Newman, center and acting captain, and 1 cepted by Mr. Cottrell at a program given in honor of the basketball team. Wendell Woodall achieved top honors for the year t'or making l'irst All-State Team on both I..D.P.A. and Jack North's Register and Tribune t am. Charles MoMurray should receive praise for making the third team and Jim Phillips the sevt Tith. Lick Newman and John Wilson finished with an All-State honorable mention.

Wesselink! Qur Air Corps Contingent The global war and its far reaching consequences were brought home forcibly to Webster City, when just one week before school began, the community was shocked by the announcement that Supt. B. E. Beard had been made a Captain in the personnel department of the United States Air Corps, and was to report for duty at Miami within a week. CAP-I-U B. E. BEARD Fortunately, the plans for organization and general work of the school system, had all been carefully worked out by Mr. Beard, and with a group of faculty members headed by Mr. Kaskadden, all of whom were familiar with the school regulations, the work started and was carried on without a break, until such time as a new superintendent could be chosen. Mr. Cottrell became Superintendent and assumed command with practically the same reg- ulations as those in force under Mr. Beard-a fine tribute to the sound judgment and careful planning exercised by Mr. Beard during his twelve years of energetic and resourceful promo- tion of Educational interests in our community. The stamp of his progressive ideas, will be long noted in our school system-Capt. Beard-Lincoln High salutes you, and bids you God Speedf' Lieutenant W. D. Wesselink, was for four years the Dean of our Junior College, he was ordered to report, as a Lieutenant in the Air Corps, at Miami, on Sept. 16. This order, coming immediately after Mr. Beard's leaving, deprived us of another fine and capable administrator, whose services were of inestimable value, not only to the school, but also to the community. Here, again, Mr. Kaskadden shared the burden, and took on the college mathematics, while Miss Alice Eikenberry LIEUT. W. D, WESSELINK shouldered the executive duties, and became Acting Dean 4 -and has carried the administrative work most effectively, in spite of a very heavy teaching load. Here's a Hail and We are proud to state that we have had for administra- tors, two such strong, capable and patriotic men as Capt. Beard and Lieut. Wesselink.
