"Lincoln Central" was a newspaper creation. The school is Lincoln High School and has always preferred to be called "Lincoln High". When the second large Lincoln public high school, Northeast, opened in 1941, several state newspapers tried to push "Central" to match Omaha naming convention. Lincoln High students and administration were always united in opposing Central but it was the late fifties before they finally got all of the state's newspapers in line on the topic. BTW, you named the Links correctly in the 1951 ratings.
Love these!
