ca. 1913. The cornerstone for Lincoln Park High School in Tacoma was laid on Labor Day September 1, 1913, and it opened on August 31, 1914. The Patriotic Sons of America petitioned the school board to change the school's name, and in 1917 it officially became Lincoln High School. That same year the first edition of the school publication "The Lincolnian" was published; from 1914 through 1916 Stadium H.S. and Lincoln Park H.S. shared "The Tahoma" as a joint monthly journal and yearbook. Enrollment the first year was 850 students, of whom 100 were seniors.
