WE SAY, t'GOODBYE OLD BUILDING The old building shown above, a landmark on the corner of Fifth and Buntin Streets tor over a haltfcentry, is to be torn down this spring to make room for a new and more spacious building. It is with sadness that we say, Farewell, to this old yellow brick structure, for it will always remain in the memory ot over l0,000 graduates as their high school. This old building has served well, tor its gradu- ates have done well tor themselves and their tel- low men in the world. ' Dreams ot becoming senators, doctors, Iow- yers, teachers, ministers, and a thousand others, some fulfilled, others thwarted, have had their inceptions in these hallowed walls. Lincoln High School, whether housed in an old building or a new structure, has always and will always attempt to prepare its graduates for a happy and usetul life. In this preparation for life, Lincoln High School attempts to train the entire individual-the mind, the hand, and the body. The social aspect of training too has never been slighted. The mind is trained in academic classwork, the hand in vocational work, the body in health, gym and athletics, while the social training takes place in all these activities as well as in the many clubs, parties, dances and functions sponsored by the school.
