Editors Notes This book was compiled by a talented group of people who truly believe in the power of words and pictures, and the impact on feelings and attitudes they can have. Here is an example that I felt would fit; The author of this quotation is unknown. There's a special kind of freedom friends enjoy. Freedom to share innermost thoughts to ask a favor, to show their true feelings. The freedom to simply be themselves. I would like to thank Dawn Braun, and Joy Ford for their cooperation, time and help. Special thanks go out to Mr. Cole (Slim) for his help with the photography. Without these people this book could not have been possible. I hope that you enjoy this book as much as we, the staff do. With this, I say good luck to you all in the future, and See Va In 10 Years RAY BLAKE Co-Editor As we graduate from Lincoln-West, we must remember that the past has taught us much, and the future will teach us even more. Time has passed, and history has been made, and we have marked this time with our achievements and the efforts we have made. May you constantly be reminded through this book of the activities and school functions of 1985-86 as told in these words and pictures. May the school spirit continue to be an everlasting stream of hope and joy JOY FORD Co-Editor 7 C
