FEATURE An ever-changing forum of special events confronted the stu- dents of Lincoln College this year, challenging their intellect, testing their athletic skill, or just supplying them with enjoyment and diversion from study. , j From the opening Convocation, through the first and then the second semester, and right up to the final and perhaps most sig- nificant occasion of the year, Commencement, activities ranging from the Winter Olympics to the Pajama Dance to the Spring Formal were held. First, as always, came the nostalgic and happy Homecoming celebration. InDecember, theWinterOlympics spot- lighted the strong-minded and strong-willed LC students, testing their athletic prowess. And finally, the climax, the apex of the winter at Lincoln, the Christmas Dance, came and whirled its way to a great success. A highly successful Parents' Weekend and an informative, helpful Business Day brought parents and visitors to the LC Campus. Throughout the year, musical concerts studded the Lincoln calendar. Folk singing, piano, and orchestra were represented, but the brightest jewel was the Ramsey Lewis Trio, appearing under the auspices of the Lincoln Student Senate. Facts and phenomena in both history and science were ex- hibited during the Spring. The History Fair, sponsored by the Logan County Historical Society, included exhibits of historical relics from nearly every period of American life. Frogs, foxes and turtles, first alive, then dead, were three of the most interest- ing Science Fair exhibits. The exhibits covered many of the major branches of science, including mathematics, biology, chemistry, and physics. Spring fever of many LC students gave vent to the Pajama Dance, and the following weekend the Spring Formal arrived in all its splendor and dignity. And finally, when all was done, came the crowning touchs- Baccalaureate and Commencement. With a flourish and a hand-S shake, Lincoln College bestowed degrees upon 178 graduates., sending them out into an ever-changing, ever-challenging world. 5
