Like that of all pioneers, our way has been rough and rugged, but our faith in you, our schoolmates and townsmen, has enabled us to push on. XYe have planted THE PINE BURR in rather hastily-prepared soil. Wie ask you to water this little plant, for by your help only will it continue to grow. Wie ask the town of Lincolnton to remember that we are her children, so do not View us with a critic's eye but pass our imperfections by. For the Class of '23 there will be much toiling and rejoicing. But remember, lt's the songs ye sing and the smiles ye wear that make the sunshine everywhere. 5
