School Life, Community Activities Combined . . . As a bugle call began each day at Lin- coln Northeast, so the school bell ringing at 3:15 every afternoon brought it to a close . . . For many students school activi- ties had just begun, for there were club meetings to attend, plays or assemblies to rehearse, work to do for a special class such as stagecrafts, or athletic practice or competition . . . For others there was a quick trip to a local drive-in to share cokes and conversation with fellow classmates . . . Many students belonged to Keentime or Project or bowling clubs or Job’s Daugh- ters . . . Several students had part time work around town . . . Lincoln community work and activities were a big part of our lives . . . 10
