We first made our appearance by having the privilege of being the first eighth grade class to attend Lincoln High School. During the next few years we became more familiar with the extra-curicular activities our school had to offer. Our junior year we presented the Class of 52 with a banquet and prom with the theme of the traditional Mardi Gras”. We have worked four years to reach the goal which every senior hopes to obtain. Now, we are about to give our final performance. Through the efforts of our Senior Class President, Dave Rockaway; Vice-president. Ken Har- ris; Secretary. Mary McConnell; and Treasurer, Jim Kizer; we have made our fourth year the most enjoyable of all. 6 SENIORS...............................
