LINCCDLN comes To IiTel The usual eyebrow-liTTing predominaTes. The escorTs are careTully scruTinized by The seniors, even Though iT would seem To an observer ThaT They are iusT casually looking around. Many a silenT laugh is had by senioreTTes aT The expense oT Their acquainTances. IT is aT This TuncTion ThaT one uncovers The TruTh oT whaT The young lady, who has been exploiTing her escorT's charms in her HisTory and Algebra classes, has said. How can ThaT shorT, undernourished young man ThaT she is here wiTh be The Romeo ThaT she has been raving abouT Tor so long? Ah me! Girls will be girls. The lighTing eTFecTs are changed consTanTly, giving an air oT glamour and mysTery, which adds To The general enioymenT oT all presenT. Finally, The dancers begin To sTroll ouT, all sTill in a romanTic mood. The evening has been a success! AND SO-ADIEU SaTurday evening, and Commencement The mood changes. All digniTy losT by Seniors during Class Day, Class NighT, and The Prom, is recovered. WiTh a Teeling oT pride mingled wiTh sadness, seniors are marching across The sTage oT The New Brooklyn Technical High School, To The sTrains oT Aida, Turnished by our school orchesTra. They are proud To have compleTed Their courses aT Lincoln and are sad aT The ThoughT oT leaving behind all memories oT Their high school days. Seniors never beTore seemed so digniTied. No longer are They silly high school sTudenTs, buT men and women, who are enTering college and liTe. To seniors This is a long-awaiTed evenT. They may have been impaTienT aT Times, and ioyTul when Their hopes were realized and The Time came Tor Them To graduaTe. However, now ThaT iT has come, They Teel loofhe To leave behind Their school and friends. Seniors have led shelTered lives unTil This evening. When They were noT quiTe sure oT cerTain Things, They could Turn To Teachers Tor help and advice. Now They musT go ouT and Think Tor Themselves. They musT solve The worldly' problems ThaT Tace Them. Whom can They Turn To now? They are children no longer, buT grown men and women, who should be capable oT Thinking Tor Themselves. Children one minuTe and grown-ups The nexT, ironical Though This may seem. This is The lasT Time ThaT The class oT January, I937 will ever be assembled in iTs enTireTy, buT The members hope ThaT This is noT The lasT Time They will see each oTher. CommencemenT is noT an end, buT a beginning, a beginning of new and bigger Things, buT seniors will always remember ThaT These Things had Their sTarT aT Lincoln High. STET!
