FOREWORD FOUR YEARS HENCE The howl of freshmen days, has hardly stopped riming in our ears, and now we find ourselves quite mature and seniors. We came, we saw, and almost completely without reservation, we were con- quered. Lincoln, your open arch with roads of asphalt has captured us. Aging familiar red bricked structures have captured us. and have been home for these four years. Your snow-covered expanses, noble halls of learning . . . . they called and we have answered. We have walked your grassy carpets, and watched the sun glitter on your frame. Upon your walks we have heard the first tunes of spring, and felt the first cold winds of an insuing winter. These impressions will linger as long as we have memories. It was more than this, however, it was the humorous things; water streaming from a half open window upon an unsuspecting head is only one example. Then there were the tough times. The hooks that would not open unless you opened them. Those afl night stands, the smell of coffee floating through the dormitories. All that learning that just would not seep in and your first nickle. We remember especially the football seasons. It took pre- cedence over all and the old grads always seemed to drop in and out of nowhere. They had come back to bring that “ole Lincoln Spirit.” This is Lincoln with her great bountiful heart which she has opened to us. Our Alma Mater has conquered our hearts “and constant and true, we will live for thee anew, our dear old Orange and Blue.” ro TE TS - • Ski - Dedication ......

The year 1954 will long be remembered as one of tremendous import. The ruling of the Supreme Court against segregated education marked another milestone along the path to first class citizenship for millions of Americans. This decision was due, in the main, to the hard work, legal giantism, and to the devotion to cause and duty of one Thurgood Marshall, whose judicial leadership has re- sulted in many similar grand victories in this great struggle for the Democratic Ideal. It is to this man that the Senior Class dedicates the 1955 Lion. THURGOOD MARSHALL N.A.A.C.P. Legal Head DEDICATION % 5
