VOL. I, 1909 I7 TPOTEM l +l LITTLE more than a year ago, at the end of the tirst Lincoln High School term, it was proposed by a few enterprising Juniors to establish a Lincoln High School monthly, de- voted exclusively to Lincoln inter- ests. This was the result of be- ing dependent on Whims. the Broadway paper, for spare to set l'orth in print what Lincoln was doing and had been doing.

Energy and originality on the part ol' the stalf soon plaeed Totem. the name chosen for the new monthly suggested by Ilverett Fenton, on the pinnacle ol' lligh School journalism.

Totem had a l'un number. a Junior number. a Football number. a Basketball number. and a Show number. Much ol' the praise due to the sueeess of Totem must go to Mr. Daniel J. Lothrop, the faculty adviser. whose suggestions and interest in the work were a great help to the staIl'.
