Watkins. t of City, Lincoln Southeast Personnel With a total 1 961-62 enrollment of 26,309 students and 1,129 faculty members in the Lin¬ coln Public Schools, it was not surprising that the operation cost reached a high of $12,405,151. Instructional expenses covered salaries of certified personnel, general school supplies, supplementary and audio-visual ma¬ terials and textbooks. Approximately $342.91 was budgeted for each student completing 12 grades in the Lincoln schools. Opportunity was there, the price of learning was high, but the rewards were many. City school board members I. J. Devoe, president, Mrs. Roscoe S. Hill, James Stuart, Steven N. Watkins, superintendent of schools, Robert C. Venner, Robert H. Ammon and J. Arthur Danielson, vice president, attended monthly meetings to discuss school functions. Snowy weather didn ' t keep R. J. Bauer, supervisor of opera¬ tion and maintenance, David Sell, assistant superintendent in charge of business affairs and R. L. Fredstrom, assistant superintendent in charge of curriculum and instructional im¬ provement, from observing the progress of Pound Junior High.

Ardell Language International Club Hours of practice proved successful for Miss Jocelyn Sack and John Cole as they sang dur¬ ing A Night with Rodgers and Hammerstein. For the 15 new faculty members, the first few days of school were bewildering ones. They faced not only an unfamiliar school, rou¬ tine and customs, but also a host of strange names and faces. At the same time, they had to appear calm and collected amidst the in¬ evitable bedlam of a crowd of scholars. This didn ' t last long though. With the help of other teachers and students, they soon felt right at home. The Faculty Reception, held in the early fall, gave old and new teachers a chance to mingle and become acquainted. G.
