Rabbits, Skateboards, And Hey Dude What Do These English? e To In putting a jigsaw puz- zle together, have you ever noticed the many shapes and sizes you use before the pieces all fit? Well, in the English lan- guage here at LHS, you will find as many shapes and puzzling influences as you find in a jigsaw puzzle. Most of our Eng- lish language originates from a foreign language or country. We have few good ole American-' words, such as: wheels, shades, jocks, babe, etc ... We use many words everyday that we think of as American, but actually are foreign, such as: coyote, wolf, prairie, pumpkin, etc ... But the students here at LHS are working hard to produce an American concept of the Enqlish language. As History? you walk down LHS halls, you will hear endearing terms such as: Hey, Dude by Meredith Kahl; Dah .. Huh ... Dah .. Huh by Curtis Griscom; •| @ by almost every- one; Okie Dokie by those who mean yes; and aaah so by those who just solved an earth-shat- tering puzzle. Of course, this is just a sampling of how the LHS version of the English language is progressing, but each of us should realize that foreign language is a part of our daily lives. LHS students are actually speaking in a foreign dia- lect just by opening their mouths, even if it's only to utter Dah .. Huh ... Dah .. Huh .. HOW that is puzzling. Have you ever dreaded going to a History class because of boring lec- tures, thousands of names, dates, and places, or just because you thought who needs history anyway? Well, al- though we don't have students like Karen Cheatham going on joy rides down the hall on a skateboard this year, we do have students like Sarah Epps who fall asleep in the middle of one of Mr. Kinzer's “brief' lectures. Howev- er, each of us should re- member that we have to learn from the history of yesterday in order to un- derstand tomorrow. This year marks the 200th an- niversary of our Constitu- tion; and in 1988 we will celebrate our 140th year of the Lincoln school sys- tem. Although, many stu- dents here at LHS feel their days are dull and ordinary , their foot- steps, often left in haste will always be remem- bered in the history of our halls. In reserving our own special place in history, we observe Mr. Springer's English class air the preamble of our Constitution over the in- tercom; Mrs. Smith erect- ing an LHS Constitution of our own so that the students could record their own piece of histo- ry; and Mr. Kinzer dress- ing in his ever famous History attire. And of course, at one time or another we all wonder what a bunny rabbit cos- tume has to do with his- tory but only Mr. Kinzer himself could answer that. OO Mflth Lucinda. Is Mrs. Farrell doing one of her ballet steps, again? Hurry up. classl Dan Anastasio is leaving you to eat his dust!

Driver's Education and Typing are two subjects that are very different from our other subjects here at Lincoln High. Dri- ver's Ed. tries to allow us to use our new found typ- ing skills for something other than an accident report. Of course, we hope they succeed. Dri- ver's Ed. could especially help those like Susanna Leming improve their skills, but since her last ditch we are sure she has been steadily improving. Remember I Can't Drive 55.” Did anyone ever?! Well, now we don't have to worry. We can drive 65! riot only are these very helpful subjects, but they are also fun to leam. When asked what he likes best about Driver s Ed., Lynn Gage casually replied, you get to drive around and it's really cool.-' And Jennifer Jones says she likes, getting to cruise town during school. Al- though they are not al- ways fun and games, these are usually the classes in which you can relax. Sometimes, how- ever, they can be really frustating, especially when you are just leam- Does Angela dodge always sing while she's typing? ing to type. Carie Grant remem- bers the beginning of the year, I just cannot han- dle those speed drills!” But your typing errors can be easily corrected. Correcting mistakes is one of the fun parts of typing. Deon Birkes says his favorite things are, the correction tabs 'cause I use them a lot.” What other class than typing can you make critical mistakes without the teacher biting off your head, certainly not Driver's Ed. They seem to value their cars. Scott Bellamy. Vance Patrick, and Stephen hughes can't seem to take their eyes off their work. Brian Carlton is thrilled by his typing skills. Trista Bellamy takes time off from her strenuous activity to give us a BIO smile.
