The count is two and two on the batter as three unidentified women, attending the "vacation camp" being held at Lincoln High School, enjoyed a rousing baseball game in July of 1925. An annual camp, sponsored by the Washington State College extension service, offered western Washington farm women classes to help them manage their homes and farms including courses in cooking and sewing; they had plenty of time for fun too. The women slept on cots in the school gym and used the classrooms for course work and the playfields and pool for recreation. (WSHS) (TNT 7/28/1925, pg. 1)

Maintaining a sportsmanlike atmosphere at all athletic events and encouraging participation in all sports at all levels were two of the primary goals of the Lettermen's Club at Lincoln High School. Three of the officers during the 1956-57 school year were: (l to r) Jerry Cecchi, sergeant at arms; Dick Pruett, Vice-president; and Roger Coleman, secretary-treasurer. All three lettered in two or more sports during their high school careers. For some reason club president Herm Magnuson was not photographed with the other officers. Photograph ordered by the Lincolnian yearbook. (1957 Lincolnian, p. 107)

Presentation of the Totem Trophy by the Young Men's Business Club was made on November 2, 1963, to Coach John Heinrick of the University of Puget Sound. Seniors Ralph Bauman (#60) and Jack Sather (#23) stand next to their coach. The Loggers came from behind to defeat Pacific Lutheran University 9-7 to claim the Totem Trophy which is given to the winner of the annual match. UPS took home the Totem Trophy for the 13th time in 17 attempts. The tradition of Logger-Lute football dates back to about 1931 and is one of the longest running rivalries in the Northwest. Coach Heinrick was a coach, teacher and administrator at the University of Puget Sound for 30 years. Each year an award is given for the most inspirational athlete in Mr. Heinrick's name.
