It was school spirit in action, and a keen awareness that The Bumblebee was their bookipossibly their best chronical of 1955 at Lincoln High. The annual queen was Chosen on the basis of the highest percent of sales to students in a particular homeroom section; annual king, from the class selling the highest number of community subscriptions. There were one hundred percent subscriptions from four classes, which resulted in a tie between Velma Ventress, senior; Lena Parish, junior; and Kitty Miles and Patsy Garrett, sophomores. However7 the student body decided the winner by popular election, and Velma Ventress was their choice. Howard Smith, freshman, was elected annual king by a wide margin. These winners were crowned in furmal ceremonies in the gymnasium, De- cember 14-. The court for the occasion was made up of runners-up and their escorts and students from the homeroom classes of the king and queen. The dance carried a yuletide theme and color scheme.

He can now choose from 11 varied curriculum, which includes courses in which manual dexterity can be developed, and in which he can find an avenue for the development of his special talents. Both Homemaking and Industrial Arts departments are housed in modern, newly-equipped sections of the building. The Homemaking department occupies the first floor of the new wing, and has been set up for complete home and family living, including bedroom, bath, living-dining area, and kitchen, as well as classroom space for foods, clothing, personal beauty care, and other home and family living courses.

The Business Department offers courses designed for business and professional minded students as well as for those whn are interested in a personal acquisition of knowledges and skills that can be used as an important help in their home life7 or in any other profession to which they might aspire. The department has grown considerably since its opening in September, 1947. Last year, it was transferred from its one-room headquarters to a two-roum section of the upstairs area of the new wing. One room houses Typing I and II; in the adjoining room classes in bookkeeping7 business law, and commercial arithmetic ithe latter two opened just this yeari, are held.

This class. under the tutelage of Mrs. Audrey Comeaux, deals with the physiological nature of speech. Much time is devciled to presenting correct sounds through an ear training story or poe and to the practice of sounds in syllables, words: word groups, sentences, poems and informal speech. CHORAL MUSIC iiSounds to soothe,' emanate from Music Room 2. as Miss Thomas Conducts music classes. Deep breathing drills on the blackboard are used to develnp the students' tonal quality and correct their pronunciation of words. music classes Music classes at Lincoln High are designed to cover three main objectives: Hi to foster the continued development of music appreciation in all students electing to take music; Oi to further enhance the music training of the students in the perform- ing music groups throug'h the application of choral and instrumental techniques; and Bi to offer an opportunity for the exceptionally talented student to develop his ability as far as is possible. Both the Instrumental and the Choral music departments are housed in modern, recently equipped areas of the building; the Choral Music department occupying two rooms in the upstairs area of the new wing, while band classes are held in class- rooms in the gymnasium.

Perhaps this interest is because the girls7 basketball team is usually a winner, in bath district and in state com- petition. Though there are only three girls? teams in the 3-AAA dis- trict, the 1954-1955 schedule was filled with a corps at about eight formidable op- ponents. The first twelve games were won against all opponents with a a total cumulative score of 365 points against the opponents' 275.
