Lincoln High School met state standards for official accreditation and was placed on the state high school listing. The Luther League gave a reception and program for teachers, concluded by a community sing-a-long. Four vandals and thieves broke into Lincoln School and stole a small amount of change from the office and library. The twenty four member Girls' Glee Club was organized and officers elected. The Cloquet Cooperative Association offered $150 in prizes for the five best essays written on the topic of Consumer Cooperation, with the essay contest being open to Cloquet and Lincoln High School students. Students took part in a magazine subscription contest after seeing salesmanship lessons presented by two salesmen from the Curtis Publishing Company. An election was promoted, with candidates, to be held for Spotlight staff. Both Howard Anderson and Edna Esko represented Lincoln School at the State Fair. Edna Esko took first prize, the highest prize taken by anybody from Lincoln to this date. Walter Johnson took second prize in the Calf Club exhibit at the Barnum Fair.
The start of the school year and enrollment details by classes and schools were given. Interest was high in the new gymnasium. Officers were elected by the classes and Glee Club. It also has some items from the previous school year, such as a Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1926. An article written by Lila Johnson about the trip to the State Fair she and Jane Lindholm and Vieno Oak took by train to represent Lincoln School was printed. Martin Harney's disappointing trip on horseback from Esko to Barnum and the Barnum Fair, to which he had gone in hopes of competing in horse races, was related.
The seniors were guests of the junior class at the first annual junior senior banquet. The play given by community members was a huge success, with gate receipts listed at $117.80, with $72.00 of that going to fund the Boys' and Girls' Club building at Barnum, and the rest going to the school entertainment fund. Further regarding the girls club, there was an article saying that Lincolns records were safe, and that Edna Esko, Lillian Hakkarainen, Mamie Jarvi, Ellen Kivisto, and Ellen Peters would be representing the school at the State Fair in Boys' and Girls' Club work in bread and cake making, as well as other subjects. The Lincoln girls clinched the volleyball championship, and did well in indoor baseball and track.
This issue covers the dedication of a section of Interstate 35, the proclamation of Highway Week in Minnesota, and activities and displays at the State Fair. Minnesota Highways was the official employee newsletter of the Minnesota Department of Highways (1951-1976).
