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.

The History Club, accompanied by Miss Flory, Miss Moore, and several high school students, went on an interesting adventure to Greenfield Vil- lage, Dearborn on January 17. The expedition was very exciting to the group who saw many things which held their attention, such as the Edison laboratory, the museum, the old jewelry shop, the blacksmith shop, the church, and the old time schoo . il-.--1-1 JOURNALISM CLASS VISITS DETROIT TIMES On arriving at the Detroit Times Building on October 22, the Journalism class members found lr. Lloyd waiting to guide them through the building. The fifth floor interested the girls more than any other floor because the new Home Economic Department was located there. Through this department material will be distributed to nT1mes' readers. On the same floor familiar sounds greeted the ears, coming from the teletype machines. These machines automatically record the incoming news. Next the typesetting and the news arranging departments proved to be almost as interesting. Here the morgue was located where articles of all kinds are filed. The next interesting thing that was seen and studied was the department with the large rolls of paper each containing six and one-half miles of paper, four ordinary newspapers wide. In the same department is located a machine that prints, folds, and cuts the paper at the same time, which are then taken on conveyors to distributors. This trip proved to be very interesting and educational due to Mr. Lloyd's clear explanations. In fact, so educational that the members now appreciate the value of the work done daily to give them the news. - LATIN CLASS SEES SHOW On Tuesday, October 22, five students from the Latin III class and Hrs. Kaler went to the R. K. O. Downtoin Theatre to see the 'Last Days of Pompe1i'. They reported a very enjoyable trip which encouraged a further study of Latin.
