ASSEMBLIES RAISE SPIRIT Lincoln's Assemblies for the 1972- 1973 school year included four programs along with several pep assemblies pre- sented by the cheerleaders. Through pep assemblies, cheer- leaders tried to raise school spirit and encourage Cardinal fans to attend the upcoming game. The student body was also familiarized with the football, wrestling, and basketball players and new cheers. Cheerleaders for the 72-73 season were jo Ann Peterson, Mary Bablick, Kathy Kemper, Laurie Hammerstrom, Patty Wart- gow, and Sue Gremban. Assemblies that entertained the stu- dent body included a presentation of the early 20's. Dress, speech and modern conveniences were demonstrated. The Walthens Family of Belgium performed several acrobatic stunts in an assembly November 1. Muscle co- ordination, balance and strength are a must in doing acrobatics. American Poetry Dramatized pre- sented various poems of modern and clas- sical poets. The final assembly program was Trio Candido , two men and one woman who played harmonicas. Songs varying from Home on the Range to If were played. Assemblies for next year include a juggling act and a Negro piano player and singer.

LHS CHOIR AND BAND Concerts are what the choir works for throughout the year. They held four major concerts consisting of a fall concert, Christ- mas concert. Spring Concert, and a Pop concert. Among the major concerts a few preview concerts were held to give the people in the community an idea of what the choir was doing in class and between concerts. Under the direction of Mrs. Bast the Swing Choir and Madrigal group also per- formed in the concerts. This gave the con- certs variety, as the groups sing a different type of music than the Concert Choir or the Girls Choir. Concerts were made a visible spec- tacle too with thehelpof the Art Club. They diligently decorated the gym for the choir performances.

SISSY OF GERMANY Sissy Grieb, our foreign exchange stu- dent from Germany, added interest to Mr. Warshall's German I and II classes this year. She gave the students first hand knowledge about her country's language and customs. Sissy was our first exchange student from Germany and also the first exchange student to help teach a class. In German I the class is taught the basics of the language. They learn to con- struct sentences and to converse using sim- ple phrases. German II students had the good for- tune to have Sissy as a member of the class. She helped the class to converse with as little English as possible. With the help of our foreign exchange student both classes were able to over- come parts of the language barrier. (ABOVE LEFT) Sissy visits with her friends before school and at noon. They talk of the things that they have in common. Sissy enjoys sitting in the Home Ec Room and telling of her life in Germany compared to ours.
