, !! Thanks!!
The Student Council wishes to
§xpr§§@ it§ extreme gratitude for
the 100% cooperation exhibited
by all classes in putting over its
first Softball League.
We would also like to congra
tulate Mrs. M. D. Fulford upon
being Lincoln High’s first com
missioner of softbaM 7.nd for her
splendid support and cooperation.
We are sure that this softball
league has helped each person
who participated to be better
mentally as well as physically.
Participating has helped to
give us a sense responsibility,
cooperation, and respect for
others.
To the Sophomore boys, the
champs, our heartiest congratula
tions, and we hope that they
have achieved more than just
winning a game or two. For them
we hope success untold in all of
their efforts.

You know all the hooks and
crooks;
But, boy! it is a killer.
When you don’t read your

It was a Must for me.
But when I began to master it.
By studying hard, you see.
It became just like a melody.

We Hofe To Go
The Senior class under the
guidance of Mrs. M. D. Fulford
brings to a close its most, success
ful school year. This is the year
that every student looks forward
to but this is not the case with
the present Senior class. Many
of us are in a state of grief be
cause of the fact that we are leav
ing such a wonderful and loyal
institution.
It is indeed a great honor to
be the first graduating class of the
new Lincoln High .'^•-hool. We
wish to express our gratitude to
all the faculty members who help
ed make this a most joyous school
year.
