I School Enters Century II New Concepts Enrich New Erc1 Basic Values As Lincoln High School begins its second hundred years, new concepts in educational techniques have been initiated. The long-awaited variety in course offerings is finally here, ranging from classes in Water-Polo to the The First Ladies of the White House. The three "R's" of last century have received a more modern nomenclature, such as Speed Reading, Creative Writing, and Computer Math. The homey atmosphere of sitting around the hearth with granny, learning the fme art of crocheting has been revised. As of now, knitting and crocheting classes are being offered as well as Accessory Making and Leathercraft. The mastery of skill!~ of Kitchen Klatter have been aided by the popular Barbecueing class for which grills on the patio serve to expedite the learning of the future chefs.
Juniors and seniors have already discovered that to get to school on time one must rise at the crack of dawn and fight to overcome the 7:30a.m. traffic. Without the availability of study halls to catch those extra 40 winks, teachers will soon learn not to expect all students to be bright eyed, bushy tailed, or even awake during classes.
The theme for this year's Coed Counselor Tea was "Falling Into a New Century." The teas, held annually since 1950, welcome the sophomore and new girls to Lincoln High.
The basic values of Lincoln High's curriculum are unchanged; only timely transformations and additions to these century-old tactics have been developed.
It's that time again, the hustle, bustle, and scurry of another school year. The first week has been a challenge for everyone with the innovation of new classes, teachers, and students.
Throughout the years, changes have been made at Lincoln High to conform to the students' requests, but nothing can change the fact of its 101 years except time.
An exciting roster of events and activities will mark the beginning of Lincoln High's second century of existence. Participation and dedication by everyone to Lincoln High will make this year unforgettable.
Seniors Plan Ahead! "The 1972 Links will be the best ever," predicts the Links Board: "When the Class of '72 is included it has to be great!"
As might be ·expected, the Social Studies Department has also come up with short courses (a nine-week period) with Ugly America, the Roaring 20's, Curse the Wealthy, and Growth of the West being offered as well as the ever-popular American History and World History.
Senior picture editor Melanie Noel, urges all seniors to have their pictures taken and turned in to Room 219 before the deadline date, November 18, at which time a $1 engraving fee will be collected.
Not only has expansion of the courses offered a change for Lincoln High, class scheduling has been revamped to on-the-hour and half-hour periods.
Suggestions for the appropriate attire and a list of approved photographers may be picked up in the Counselor office, Room 208.
Tradition has been modified to let in the light of new dimensions, but the enthusiastic spirit of tradition that has been carried on for decacJes will remain unchanged. To all new and returning Links: A Hearty Welcome!
