Fifty-eight of us accepted. After dinner we went to the theater. Arthur Floberg and his wife, Mrs. Ada Lamb Floberg, were present. We all had box seats. The theater was a beautiful building of which Arthur was rightfully proud. The talky was The Triangle. the cast comprising Shirley Carlson. the wife; Palmer Horst, the husband: Ruth Magnuson, the other woman. It was very interesting and amusing. The picture was produced by the Russell Ohman Movie Corporation. In the newsreel we were sud- denly confronted with a picture of Astrid Bakkelund Klint, far-fanied artist and Bernard Klint, great steel magnate, just coming back from their honeymoon. The next was Vernette Cedarleaf, poet, and Edyth Allen, novelist. They were the receivers of prizes given in a literary contest. Then came the Follies. and ah, what Follies!

Good-Bye Lincoln were leaving Lincoln High School We surely loved our library Where good old times weTve had, With its score of books; And now the thought of going And then-the cafeteria Makes us feel quite sad. As tempting as it looks. To teachers as well as pupils We'll not forget you, Lincoln, W'dll have to say good-bye; No matter what befalls; We hope we'll have as good luck We had our education In finding friends at High. Within your spacious walls. We've had many pleasures And so we leave you, Lincoln; yRound about this school; You know we must depart, There's the big gymnasium ButFwe leave a fond regret And the swimming pool. Deep down in evlry heart. VERNETTE CEDARLEAF, 9A-4. page fifteen
