THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1980 PRESENTS THE LION LINCOLN UNIVERSITY LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, PA. MICHELLE D. HOLDER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF DEDICATION We the class of 1980 take great pride in dedicating our yearbook to two fine professors Dr. Henry Cornwell and Mr. Alexander Gabbin. Dr. Cornwell is the chairman of the Psychology Department. He has been a devoted teacher at Lincoln for 36 years. He always has time to counsel students when needed. This year Dr. Cornwell will retire with the class of 1980. Mr. Gabbin is a professor in the Business Department and is also our class advisor. He has worked with us since our freshman year and has continued through our senior year. He has never missed a class meeting despite his busy schedule. The class of 1980 would like to show our appreciation to two great men by dedicating our yearbook to them. WE'LL MISS YOU !!! A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR TO THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1980 I can remember my first day at Lincoln August 1976, not knowing where to go or what to do. Finally, I met some friends and was able to find my way around the campus. It now seems like we have been in school forever, struggling, and just trying to survive. Lincoln University is one experience; either you make it or you don't. There are so many things you have to deal with: your teachers, peers, the atmosphere, and yourself. I'm proud to say it has been a pleasure learning and sharing experiences with you. Now it has ended. When you leave here remember one thing: BE YOURSELF and live your life to the fullest. Michelle D. Holder ALMA MATER Dear Lincoln, Dear Lincoln To thee we'll e'er be true! The golden hours we've spent beneath The dear old Orange and Blue Will live for e'er in memory, As guiding stars through life; For thee our Alma Mater dear, We'll rise in our might. For we love every inch of thy sacred soil Every tree on thy campus green; And for thee with our might We will ever toil That thou mightest be supreme. We'll raise thy standard to the sky Midst glory and honor to fly; And constant and true. We will live for thee anew. Our Dear Old Orange and Blue Hail! Hail! Lincoln! " A.

Still it contains immense truth, for even at Lincoln what you carry away in terms of your motivation, values, judgment, habits of thought, habits of work, knowledge, and humaneness are the essential outcomes of your years here to help you meet the problems of a world beset with daunting obligations. No doubt you may be slightly aghast over the seemingly stupid problems of this period: why can't we burn all the oil we can pay for; why can't we blow our weak little adversaries off the globe; why can we... We are rich, powerful, right. All of us find it difficult to accept that all affairs are no longer simple, that we must be mindful of the peoples all over the world, that perhaps the most challenging task of your generation will be how to bring the advantages of civilization to all the peoples over the earth without subjecting it to a nuclear holo- caust in the process. To achieve the last will require a triumph of tenacity over adversity. This last theme, too, must be moved to the front. The potential of our science and technology is immense but not limitless. You must be especially sensitive to developments such as we are alreading experi- encing: our right to privacy abraded by the computer, for example. And even more frightening encounters with the dehumanizing potential of technology are evident. May we hope for you a life of sincere, effective involvement, using your skills in the service of our society—a Lincoln tradition since 1854. Avoid the cosmetic, the selfish, the fanatic. Santayana defined a fana- tic as one who redoubles his efforts after he has lost sight of his goals. May your goals be clear and worthy. Very cordially yours Herman R.

DEDICATED TO THE CLASS OF 1980 To school again we must once tread To books, to work, to things we dread. At times this life can be quite dull, But yet it can be wonderful! We learn, we play, we sing and dance. But does this life hold real romance? So yet another year goes by. We're happy, sad, get mad, we cry. But all these changes we go through, are necessary we understand. And they will happen every year until that sheepskins in our hands. Carole V.
