The Lincoln Legend Early in the spring of 1906, a party of school board members crossed Lake Union and proceeded north toward the small district of Wallingford. A contest between Fremont and Green Lake devel- oped as to which of the north end districts would get the new school. The fact that the present site couldbe easily reached by the streetcar lines and that it was midway between the two districts, decided the location. Amid logging camps, woods, and mining camps, one of the board members, F.. C. Hughes, mounted an old stump and proclaimed the present site to be the location of the new north end high school, to be called Lincoln High School. Growth has been the mainstay of the school. When Lincoln opened in the fall of 1907, the school, although new, was already too small. lt consisted of thirty classrooms, a study hall, and a single gymnasium used alternately by the boys and girls. Store rooms and locker rooms were speedily con- verted into classrooms to help relieve the over- crowding. The second year, five rooms were loaned from the Interlake Grade School until the opening of Queen Anne the next year. By 1914, the attend- ance had increased and it became necessary to remodel and add to the building. An auditorium, library, and boys' and girls' gyms were added. This did not help the problem of overcrowding much, for in 1920 a ten room annex was added. Before this was finished, fourteen more portables were needed to house the new pupils. When Roosevelt High School was completed in 1922, Lincoln lost some of its district, and the crowded condition was relieved for awhile. This did not last long, how- ever, for in 1930 a permanent addition was con- structed consisting of twenty-two classrooms and a study hall on the south end of the building. in i Activities and spirit got off to a slow start dur- ing the first semester of 1907. Most of the students were freshmen and the rest were seniors who had transferred from Broadway High School. By the end of the next few years, however, many of the now existing clubs were organized. The most important among them were the Boys, Club, formed in 1911 with the assistance of the YMCA, and the Girls' Club, formed in 1909. Student Council was not formed until 1945. One of the most unusual of the activities was the Lincoln Cadet Corps. The Cadet Corps was started in 1909 under the direction of Captain C. Sands. Lincoln had a company of men in training and reserve in case of state or national need. Lin- coln's corps was the best organized in Seattle and brought much glory to the school. In the second semester of the first year, the students of Lincoln found that they no longer desired to be dependent upon the Broadway paper. Funds were collected among the classes and a monthly paper was put out called the TOTEM. The name was suggested by Everett Fenton, and has been a symbol of Lincoln ever since. The name caried over for the schools annual at the end of the year. In 1908, the TOTEM had become so well known that the publications came out weekly. Around the same time that the name of the paper was chosen, so were the school colors. The colors were red and black and have never changed. Lincoln, now among the leading schools in enrollment, and with its large student body co- ordination in a powerful school spirit, has become a name of achievement. High in tradition, and con- stantly maintaining and enlarging its standards, Lincoln will doubtlessly remain a source of pride to its students and faculty, and an object of envy and admiration for others. . :fr 'vrx X P S -,-41 3 'T' 190 8 Graduates -ef-.2 P.a.ph Il. -i-1r.cnj. .-. .... am Baifien Lef Barr: Alice M Bell Raymond E Bcrriil Mary-irte Braden Rath Brigham Lev: H Broun Ethel M Broun Lowell ll Churchell Eredericl-1 A Coates Elizabeth M Danielson.
