Cinderellas Charm Lads at Prom Many a Lincoln lassie found her Prince Charming at the Senior-Iunior Prom, Ianuary l9. For Prince Charmings were nu- merous at Cinderella's gay coming-out party, dancing to the lilting refrains of Louis Gre- n1er's Orchestra. A clock, a stage coach, and silver slippers around the room carried out the Cinderella theme. During the intermission Lin- coln's Prince Charming, Mr. Beal, picked one girl's slipper from a group of lU. He placed it on the foot of its owner, Carrie Person, who then reign- ed as Cinderella over the prom. General chairman for the af- fair was Class President Marion Carson. Mrs. Florence Arm- strong was the class adviser Iuniors Pick 'Goddess' for Prom Amid silver stars and shadowy sil- houettes, many a fair maiden and her admiring escort danced the hours away at the lunior-Senior Prom, April l9. Reigning supremely over the gala occasion honoring the upper-classmen, was the lovely Goddess of the Moon, Rainie Peterson elected from a group of junior girls. The theme, 'lMoonlight Serenade, formed a fitting background for one of the final school affairs seniors were able to attend, and a large crowd, decked in best bib-and-tucker, went to pay homage to the first lady of the dance. Dancing was underway from 8:00 to ll:3U to the snappy rhythms of Chuck Molinari and his band. Various committee chairmen under the supervision of William Hardie, class adviser, and Stan Warp, were: Ruth Iorgenson, decorations, Dorothy X1Var- ter, refreshments, Lois Dahl entertain- ment, Peggy Walker and Bill Rohrs, publicity, Chuck Rohrs, clean-up, Mar- gie Rose, programs and tickets, Art Mortenson, checkroom, and Almira Marchesini, orchestra.

Although the annual is published pri- marily to show school life to which Lincoln students come in contact, it serves also as an autograph album. Every student is happy when the book is finally off the press and in his hands, for the annual is one highlight of the school year to which all look forward. Working continually two semesters were Editor Bonnie Busch and Associ- ate Editor Charles Hora. Planning the book, choosing the staff, and seeing all work was completed were only a few of their well-done tasks. Mr. Homer Post, editorial adviser, and Mr. Loren Ralph, business adviser, deserve many thanks, too, for their constant help and guidance over the staffs. All worked together, aiming to please the students and have a record-break- ing annual.
