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.

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
