4 ' fl aiiawidlud The Foreign Relations Club of Lincoln Vollege is made up of students who are enrolled in one or more of the langiiage classes during- the year. This is another of the active groups holding meetings regularly throughout the year. At the first meeting' of the club, the follow- ing- officers were elected: president, Bonita Grahanig vice-president, Helen Fisher, secre- tary-treasurer, .lean Sheplerg and the adviser, Miss Josephine Hardy. The club meetings were held on every sec- ond and fourth Thursday of the month. During the latter part of November and the first part of December, several members gave brief suin- niaries of the speeches given by the speakers on the Institute of International Understanding- being' held at the Dolleg-e and sponsored by the Rotary Club. Because the speeches given in this series dealt chiefly with our relationships with other countries of the world, they made excellent topics for discussion in the Foreign Relations tllub meetings. The high-spot of the month of December was the Christmas party which was held at 12:00 noon on December 16. This was in the form of a noon luncheon with entertainment following. U At the last two meetings of the club, held April 6 and 27, Hardy told the group about her trip abroad before the First VVorld XVar, describing' the countries visited, the peo- ple, and types of entertainment found there. The yearts activities of the club were cul- minated with a pienie which was held on May 4. - BY GRAHAM Left to Right-First row: Jane Turner, Helen Twomey, Helen Fisher, Jean Shepler, Mary Ellen Langan.

Zfze King ana! .Queen Each year, Lincoln College confers the honor of placing upon the heads of one of its young men and young Women, the crowns and titles of King and Queen of Lincoln Col- lege. This year, tradition was defied, and the queen was crowned at a newly instituted Har- vest Dance in place of the regular May Festivalg and the King was crowned at the regular Gold Diggers' Fling. This year's honors were be- stowed upon Helen Baker and Vllilliam Bill Howell. Helen Baker was crowned queen of the Harvest Dance on October 30, by Jane Turner. She was wheeled to the throne in the campus push cart fwhich had been appropriately deco- rated for the occasionj by Bill Howell and Don- ald Awe. These young men, as Well as Florence Hardin and Helen Twomey, had been elected by popular vote to be the queen's attendants. Exactly four months later, on March 30, and after an exciting campaign to elect the king and his court for the Gold Diggers' Fling, Bill Howell Was chosen to rule over the biggest dance of the school year. After the grand march, Bill and his court of Marjorie Schlots, Roberta Gayle, and Helen Twomey, marched the length of the gym to the throne, where he knelt to be crowned King of the Fling by Helen Baker, president of the Student Uouncil and liaryest flueen. For the occasion Lee Home- broo'r and his orchestra had been obtained to furnish the music in a room decorated to rep- resent a spring garden. And so, with the school year ending, we doff our hats to these, our monarchs of 1944, and cry, Hail to the King and Queen-Long' may they reign ! - By TUnNr:n
