I 0 THE LINCOLNIA PREFACE 22355 Qi I I HE 1909 Lincoln Board presents, with this volume, its best efforts to place before you a faithful record of the past year's events. This has been our task. lVe have had our share of difficulties to overcome, but of these we shall not complain. It is a great privilege to dedicate this first Lincoln Annual to our principal, Mr. James E. McKown. If the book had no other merit, this alone should make it a pleasure in future years. That is its mission-to bring to mind the pleasant mem- ories of the happy days at Lincoln. We have endeavored to publish a book of which the school as a Whole should be justly proud. We have attempted to have it contain much to please and little to offend, but we do not expect to suit everyone. A few critical and pessimistic per- sons will, no doubt, find many faults. Some self-important in- dividuals may be hurt because they have not been sufficiently noticed, and others because they have. Anyway, we have done our best, and present to you the result of our labor. Whether We have succeeded or not, we leave to your judgment. In conclusion, we wish to express our sincere thanks to all who have aided in the book's publication, and especially to Miss O'Hearn and Mr. Lothrop, of the faculty, for their kind assistance and advice throughout.

Two di-aunatic clubs have been successful, presenting many plays and bringing about the presen1'a1iou of The Princess, emzlips- ing all former High School plays given in this city. In nth- leties Lincoln has been supreme. Within a period of one year Lincoln rapidly pressed to the front, gaining the nmjority of the Chilll1pi01lSlll1JS, and dClll0llSl'l'2lllllQ the tact tlint rl school does 11ot luwe to be old in years to secure first place in the vari- ous sports. All of this is largely due to our worthy principrll, Mr. James IJ. Mcliown. His success in these past two years has been re- inarkzilmle. We can merely expect and hope that the some suc- cess will attend him in all his i'uture efforts. f'J x I- ..- f 'Q '.f.fN,-
