Several years ago, when this business establishment had just began to function, the scene of activity centered in just a few small rooms. Now this busmess concern has grown to inhabit a huge two-story building contain- ing twenty-eight rooms. The cornerstone for the present building was laid in 1923 and the structure completed in 1924. Thus for the past twenty-three years apprentices have been taking in- structions on the various trades and studies offered, and have been gradauted with honors. Yet, despite the many who have passed through the halls of this establishment, the building has retained its modern look and deprecia- tion remains low. Several additional buildings have been added to the campus since 1924. Directly behind it is another huge structure known as the Centennial Building. This was con- structed in 1936. It is used for public and social meet- GENERAL HEADQUARTERS Ts 2 i I —-- JO 4 V P 1 il o 7 R ji pj s' jr A J a - 7 l f L i » o » £ vo S l ► G) K 0 4

Assets: modern headquarters and grounds BROWN AIR PHOTO ings of all kinds. However, during the basketball season it has its most use, holding the enthusiastic fans who cheer on their respective teams. Because it is the largest structure of its kind to be found in the county, the bas- ketball tourneys are held here, drawing a huge number of local as well as visiting spectators. Lincoln High School is well-known for its lovely and spacious campus. With the addition of shrubs and trees great improvements on the landscaping have been com- pleted. The smooth, emerald lawn and arching shade trees provide a welcome haven for employees during their moments of leisure. The campus has also been carefully planned to include many facilities for sports. Among these facilities is a paved tennis court, which is now being taken full ad- vantage of with the revival of the sport. Also high on the list of these facilities stands our track consisting of a runway which lies in an oval shape and is one-quarter mile long. The track becomes the scene of great activi- ty in early spring. However, at the very first on the list of facilities is our well-cared for football field. This grassy rectangle' is one of this section's best. Although the seating is not too satisfactory at the present the committee wishes to report at this time that plans are, and shall continue, being developed for the construction of a completely mod- ern stadium complete with the most modern equipment. Thus is the annual report on the value of the build- ings and campus of Lincoln High School. 5
