al' r LINCOLN scHooL WHY LAMBREQUIN ? The class of 1955 has achieved a goal long-sought after by previous graduating classes of Lincoln School. We are presenting a yearbook which, for the first time, is entirely in- dependent of the school literary magazine. During the early stages of organizing our new publication, one of the most serious problems which presented itself was the selection of a suitable name. Our class felt that any title chosen should meet three major requisites: first, it should begin with an L for alliteration with Lincoln, second, it should be associated in some way with our school emblem, Minerva's helmet, third, it should have the strength and originality to survive unchanged in future years. LAMBREQUIN, we felt, was the appropriate choice, for it fulfilled all three require- ments. Lambrequin and Lincoln. both begin with the letter L. LAMBREQUIN has a direct connection with the school shield, for a lambrequin is a scarf which was attached to a helmet to protect it. And because a lambrequin was a protector, to us, it symbolized the enduring qualities which a good yearbook should have. We sincerely hope that LAMBREQUIN 1955, and all the others which follow, will protect the Lincoln helmet by upholding its honor in quiet dignity.
