-'58 CLASS HISTORY-
The history of the class of 1958
is interwoven \vith the history of
Lincoln High School between the
years of 1954 and 1958. Wiiat we
have accomplished as a class,
and of the Lincolin family, are
two aspects of our record at Lin
coln; and each is incomplete
without the other.
As a class, we have been stim
ulated to develop a sincere re
gard for performances of quality;
and out of this regard has come
whatever part we have played in
the making of our school history.
Certainly our contributions to
the school are worthy of men
tion, but we also feel that in the
other areas our performances
like-wise merit consideraton.
To begin with, the class of 1958-
came to Lincoln 54- strong; Sev-
i eral members of our class have''-
won honors f p r eutMandingr
1 achievements. Richard Fikes won
the faculty aw'ard, Joseph- Petti-
ford won the Senior Award, Alex-
^izine Atwater won the • Saiutator
jian award, and as a sophomore
j Richard Fikes won the Sephbmore
! Scholarship award and was Pres
ident of the Student Council. The
i highest Christiam character award
wcLit to James Atwater.
Representing the student body
iby being on the student council
[were Harold Corbett, Hugh
