As we journey through life we will need these very qualities, strength of mind to battle against temptations and physical vigor to accomplish the great things which we have set out to do. The gold represents supreme wisdom, inspiration, goodness, and love. These four qualities combined with strength and vigor are essential for the success and happiness of every man or woman. —Edna Worthington. CLASS FLOWER WE, the January Class of 3926, have chosen the tea-rose as an example for our lives. Whoever beholds this lovely flower is touched by its fragrance and carries away with him a memory of its sweetness. Even after death when the freshness is gone from its withered petals, the scent of the rose clings to it still and leaves to the world a heritage of its beauty. May the January Class of 1926 leave behind it at Lincoln high school fragrant memories of its presence here. —Edna Worthington.

28 T II E UNCO L N L O G Class Poem “Not on the heights but climbing” Ever striving, aspiring, Finally achieving. Already Thru the mist which overhangs the heights We perceive the roads, Winding slowly to the top; Some followed by many travelers, Others barren and narrow paths, Almost deserted. Lingering, uncertain. We see an opening in the crowd, A step, and we are in, Now a part of the unending stream of workers. Some following the paths of their own ambitions, Unmindful of the difficulties of others; A few following the paths of Service Which the others have passed by. Sad is the fate of those Who, in scorn, the paths of Service Passed by, For many are the barriers which lie Across the paths they chose, Making continually their attempts more hard As they along its way are striving Only selfish motives to attain. But they who follow the path of Service, Striving ever In their own simple way, By good deed or kind word, This world to serve, Will receive a guerdon of praise As along this path they are climbing. And when at last they attain the heights At which they aimed, They will find That the joy is not in the achieving, But in the striving As to the heights they climbed. —Henry Heyl.
