Lincoln High School - Totem Yearbook (Seattle, WA)

X I to the Class of '40 which has been responsible for producing this attractive issue of Totem Annual! Recognition is due particularly to those boys and girls on the staff who have given many hours oi thought and efforts to its production. As their fellow students leaf through its pages, iew will give even a passing thought-much less a Thank you -to those who toiled to prepare an annual of which the student body is justly proud .... Is such service worthwhile? Ask the editor and the business manager and their assistants and I think they will tell you that it is, that it has yielded to each of them large returns in happiness and lasting satisfaction ,... It some find school uninteresting and dull it is generally because they see in it nothing but lessons to be learned and to be recited. They see no connection between today's task and the tomorrow that seems to them so far away. There are countless opportunities in Lincoln, as in any large high school, for participation in the life of the school that will give new interest and zest. Athletics, dramatics, debate, photography, radio, stage force or traffic squad, music or committee work-these are but a few of the long list of special subjects and activities from which a student may choose. There is no good reason why every student should not be able to find something that will add pleasure and profit to school days and to all the years that follow. 14

BUT IT'S SOME- THING DEEPER THAN A FEW WORDS ON A PRINTED PAGE-IT'S AN ALMOST INDEFINABLE SOMETHING THAT GIVES EACH OF US. YOU. AND ME. AND THE GIRL BEHIND YOU IN STUDY. AN IDENTITY-SOMETHING THAT MAKES US MORE THAN NAMES ON FILE CARDS IN THE OFFICE. IT'S A FEELING THAT GOES A LITTLE DEEPER THAN THE SURFACE RIVAL- RIES AND MISUNDERSTANDINGS. THIS THING THE DICTIONARY CALLS RECOGNITION OF RIGHTS. WE KNOW IT AS THE UNSPOKEN BOND WHICH EXISTS AMONG THE FACULTY. THE STUDENT LEADERS-AND US.
