JUA. lvhaL cUxsl Traditions are what you make them. They can be as simple as standing under the same clock in the main hall every morning, or as complex as Homecoming. We at Lincoln Northeast have chosen to make a myriad of traditions in our first twenty years as a school. We can't say that twenty years is long enough to establish all of our tradi- tions, but it is sufficient for us to lay the founda- tions for the future. We hope that the classes to follow will be able to improve and build upon our beginning efforts. As time passes, some things we do now will fade, but our way of doing them will remain the same. They will form a pattern and give the school continuity. In this book, we hope to share with you some of this unique feeling that is a great part of our Lincoln Northeast Tradition.

i Into our school life we pour that priceless ingredient of our youth—our high ideals, our hopes, and our dreams. Through our high school years we have learned that our hopes for the future can only be realized if we give the best of ourselves to all the things we attempt. Here in our rousing Rocket pep song is embodied the Lincoln Northeast tra- dition of high ideals translated into realistic ex- pectations and performances. The spirit and traditions of a school are built by the entire student body with the cooperation of the administration. This spirit showed not only on the athletic field, but also in the classroom, and in the support of all our dances, plays, and the new student lounge. This was the year we learned to ac- cept situations that were presented to us. Getting used to eight o'clock classes and shorter lunch per- iods was a challenge to all of us. During our years at Lincoln Northeast we have been taught to meet defeat with a renewed effort to do better, and to accept victory graciously and with pride. s
