Scope and content
Five of the award winning staff members of the Lincoln High School weekly publication "The Lincoln News" and their faculty advisor Homer A. Post, far right, gathered around two desks in April of 1938 to discuss the paper. The student paper for the 5th time in 6 years had been given the Pacemaker All American award by the National Scholastic Press Association. The special designation of "Pacemaker" means that the Lincoln News was judged one of the 10 best high school newspapers in the US. Ralph Spencer (second from left) was editor. His associates are believed to be: (l to r) Bill Duncan; Jean Gustafson, business manager; Hal Berndt (in letterman's sweater) and George Bailey. (T. Times 4/29/1938, pg. 18) (Additional identification provided by a reader)
