PURE WORD These are momentous times. The events of the past year have reached even into our comparitively shel- tered school lives to let us exult in victories won and grieve for relatives, companions and leaders lost. The Allied forces have had unprecedented successes, a President was elected for a fourth consecutive term, and that same President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, passed away April twelfth, but a few months after his election. Peace throughout the world was his dream. lt is the dream of our former classmates, now in the armed forces. It is our dream too. We' realize that our future lies on our own shoulders. When the Peace has come, it will be our task to maintain it. From our ranks will come the leaders of the post-war period. The responsibilities of such a position cannot be met with an inadequate education. For this reason, we have elected to remain in school as long as possible. While obtaininq the necessary knowledge, vnu- rnerous events interrupt the routine of our scholastic endeavors. ln this book, we have attempted to record, as a part of the history of the school, the activities, the social affairs, and the literary achievements of the year, as well as the faces that we have seen in the halls andlin the class rooms. Our theme is Lite in Lincoln. We hope you enjoy your book not only now, but also in that distant time when you may wish to reminisce.

Behind the doors where the bust of Abraham Lincoln gazes into the future, two thousand students are attending classes. For 38 years the sons and daughters of Wallingford and Northend families have bridged the gap between adolesc- ence and adulthood within the walls of Lincoln High School. Back in 1907 when Lincoln was completed, Theodore Roosevelt was president, Henry Ford was beginning his new-tangled contraptions and the Philadelphia baseball team was winning ball games. Through these years, Lincoln has witnessed great events, a furious battle between the nations of the World in 1916, plans for a greater world peace at the Washington Conference in 1922, and then another struggle between nations -the present world war. Boys from Lincoln have qone forth in both wars to fight and die for America and the many teasures it held for them. There are the incidents many graduates remember best-the time a minor fire broke out on stage and the overhead sprinkling system was opened by the heat and all that water seeped down over the stage to the gym below-the time Lincoln won its first track championship-the time a real fire burned out the Northwest rooms and classes were driven from their rooms and met for months in the auditorium, which incidentally became the longest assembly on record. , ' These and other incidents and anecdotes of high school life remind the alumni of Lincoln-that's part of the tradition existing outside the school. And the tradition within the school is even more pronounced for it is in the making. Lincoln has seen a momentous period in the history of the world and before the red bricks are torn down in some distant year she will have seen many more.
