GRADUATION T the completion of a four years' course of I-Iigh School instruction afforded the youth of a great city at public expense, it would seem quite fitting and proper that ihe eneliciaries should stand aside for a moment and measure b themselves in the light of public expectations. Looking back over the past four years, there is not one ol those who are about to graduate today, who does not perceive a long array of neglected opportunities, unrealized hopes and am- bitionsg there is not one who would not gladly see some of the pages of that personal history blotted out, and fresh ones, telling of great deeds accomplished, substituted. Yet the sum total of that experience is far from inconsequent, far from discouraging, and even praiseworthy. When we faltered it has been necessary for those in authority to exert a little pressure where it was most needed to impress upon us the necessity of improving our time ahd knowledge. Their work has been well done: their insistence upon thoroughness, accuracy, and detail has borne fruit in the greater efficiency and alertness of the graduatesg and now we are without exception prepared to thank them for the pains they took at times when the easier course would have been to allow us to go our own sweet way. I-Iowever, there is something more than a mere mastery of Algebra and Latin that has been gained from four years' asso- ciation with one's fellows working in more or less harmony toward common ends, and experiencing common difhculties as well as pleasures. It is a spirit of co-operation and mutual sacrifice embodied in the term, LINCOLN SPIRIT, which imbues the members of that body politic, the school, with a loyalty and devotion to its ideals and best interests. The severing of the cords which bind us to the active student life of the school need not still the voice of that Lincoln Spiritf' nor impair the potency of our allegiance to all that is good and true in the institution. No! the students of this School who are about to leave the shelter of its walls and to enter the arena of life's battles, can make an even more valuable return to the commonwealth than mere proficiency in the curricular subjects: for they will carry with them in their journey through life the ability and desire to sacri- fice for ideals and worthy objectsg they will carry with them in their hearts the spirit of the war-cry of the Little Red School I-Iouse on the Hill - ROUSE 'E.M, LINCOLN HIGH! SOUSE 'EM, LINCOLN HIGH! ROUSE 'EM, SOUSE. 'EIVL LINCOLN HIGH! K. C. C. Nino TUTICM

All of the Ads', were collected by Marion Herrick, with the assistance of Wendell Hensphill. Mr. D. Lothrop, as Faculty Adivser, gave a great deal of his time and energy to the Totem.
