CORNERS OF THE WORLD JOIN AT LINCOLN HIGH Angela Moses of India and Runar Vernhardsson of Iceland, better known as "Angie" and 11 Runie, 11 are this year's AFS students at Lincoln High . Leaving India August 6, Angie arrived in Lincoln August 10 to spend the school year with Lois Wolff, a senior at Lincoln High, and her family. Angie is one of 49 AFS students from India who wi 11 spend the year in the United States. One of her first impressions of America was that "the climate and scenery are much like that in Bangalore. I like America a lot." Angie is adapting well to America, although she commented that "Indian food is much hotter and spicier." ADJUS'IMENTS All her life Angie has attended English-speaking schools in India. The biggest adjustment she has had to make has been to the size of Lincoln High. She says , schools in Bangalore and all over India average about 800 students, usually with no more than 30 in a class. There, as in many foreign countries, students remain in one room for all classes and the teacher moves from room to room . All public schools in Bangalore require uni forms. Angie's was a navy pleated skirt, white blouse , navy tie, black shoes, and white socks. Subject matter seems to be the same there as here.

Assembly Schedule Revised for Year A revised schedule will be in force for assemblies presented at Lincoln High School during the 1966-67 school year. It includes both a morning schedule, involving first, second, and third periods, for regular assemblies, and an afternoon schedule, involving fifth and sixth periods, for pep rallies. According to Mr. William Pfeiff, vice-principal of Lincoln High, this new schedule is intended to equalize the time allotted to each period on assembly days. In the past, certain periods have had to consistently bear the burden on assembly arrangements.
