.JUNE Z COMMANDER lose JANUARY SENIOR PARTIES The first event of the January Seniors last season took place on Wednesday evening, October 9, 1955, when about fifty people were present at the class party.

The Seniors had another party the night of their Senior play, 'Rival Masqueraders'. After the play they . went to Mr. Czuchna's home, where they enjoyed dancing and refreshments. .lil.-1-.....- JANUARY SENIOR DANCES The January Seniors gave a Thanksgiving Dance Nov- ember 2l, 1955 when the younger social set of Van Dyke dipped and flltted among orange and brown decorations to the tune of the High Hatters Orchestra. The Senior's choice of beautiful fall colors, and their gay spirit of fun were in distinct contrast to the severe weather outside. A huge crowd was present to insure the success of this colorful dance. ii.i...,11 JANUARY SENIOR PROM Another colorful event, this time suggestive of spring through the use of delicate blue and silver, was the Senior Prom, the last Senior event, held on January 51, 1956, in the school gymnasium. Music that pleased everyone was furnished by the 'T1tans'. .l1 JUNE SENIOR PROM The June Seniors gave a spring prom lay 22, 1956, at Lincoln.

JUNE Z CCMMANDEF2 H lQ36 JUNIOR PARTY After the Junior Play, The Dutch Detective , the class went to Mrs. Ka1er's ho e for a party. All the 11-A's were there besides lr. and Hrs. Kaler, lr. and Irs. McNish, lr. and Mrs. Truax, and Mr. Czuchna. Everyone had a grand time eating and playing games. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The semi-annual Junior-Senior Banquet which was held on Tuesday, January 28, 1956, turned out to be a very success- ful event. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated in the class colors, blue and silver, which, incidently, also were the colors of the Senior Class. Quite a crowd turned out for this affair, considering the size of the two classes. Practically the entire faculty, school board members, and their wives braved the cold. Shortly after the last guests had arrived, all were seated to partake of the roast beef dinner which had been promised them. Raymond Hiller, officiating as toastmaster, introduced the after dinner speakers. First was Mr. May, the treasurer of the School Board. He gave a very interesting and very ln- spirational talk to the group. Short speeches by Principal J. L. Truax and Superintendent A. W. Spring followed. Delton Maple, president of the Junior Class, was next to honor the guests with an amusing bit of philosophy. The last speaker, Orlando Romano, Senior Class President, also rendered an amusing talk. But when he, in behalf of the Seniors, bid edieu to dear Lincoln High, everyone present could hardly keep the tears back. After dinner, each one was ready for dancing. Soon after the orchestra started all were two-stepping it. Dancing last- ed mntil 12:00. Everyone had an enjoyable time.
