When those '53 Seniors at Lincoln studied the medieval period in English Literature and were so interested in King Arthur, I saw that they were an extraordinary class and have been interested in their activities ever since. QYou might wonder where that Old English speech is--Well, who could keep that accent and speech after being around those Lincoln Seniors for as long as I have 'PJ Fifteen short years ago, in 1953, I attended their commencement at Lincoln. Now they are scattered over various parts of the country, so touch my armor in order to be able to follow me, and we shall go on a journey ..... There's ELMER CARTER'S farm. He raises Aberdeen-Angus cattle and is a very prominent farmer in Virginia. Now we are coming to Washington. There's KLAUS BALZER: on his way to the em- bassy.
