Under the fine supervision of Will French the work of the junior and senior high schools has been very closely correlated this year. He is interested in •the welfare of the students and, in his capacity of assistant superintendent of schools, has been reorganizing all the school curriculums, so that they are brought up to date and systemized. His unruffled manner of serenity makes it a pleasure to work with him. He is liked by all the students and they feel free to consult him because he 1s reasonable and fair with them and sees their point of view.
M. C. Lefler
1\1 C. Lefler, superintendent of schools, deserves the esteem in which he is held both nationally and locally. The grade school and junior high school buildings indicate the generalship with which he has planned for adequate housing. These schools and the senior high school as well show h's mastery in the field of the curriculum. Expansion of the industrial arts, the fine arts and the music department has made the senior high school a mecca for students who had previously not been well cared for. When he speaks in his all too rare appearances before the students, his " ords reflect the genuine fondness which guides him in all his work for the boys and gir ls of Lincoln.
Paul Campbell
In the resignation of Paul Campbell this year Lincoln high school is losing one of the most sincere and kindly as5istant principals it has ever had. Mr. Campbell has been a true and good-hearted friend to the boys of the chool and has helped many of them through narrow places. He has realized their problems and trie::I to solve them by giving the boys encouragement and personal advice. He has done a great deal for the ind ividual by trying to induce him to bring up his 5cholastic standing . His interc t in extra-curricular activities, particularl y debate, has resulted in their development. He is especially interested in the relation of the church and the school with the community.
Olivia Pound
As as5istant principal of Lincoln high chool Miss Olivia Pound has full charge of registration arrangements and chief responsibility for all questions of credit adjustment. She has won the fullest confidence of all with whom she has come in contact in her c:ipacity as advi,er to girls. She is responsible for the organization of the girls athletic association and she founded and now sponsors the all girls league council. She confers with the D.A.R. chapter in the making of its annual award. She is always deeply intere5ted in the undertaking of the students and a sturdy help to those who are facing the perplex ities that beset boys and girls.

Spring
Spring is in the air!
Do you not hear the bluebird s: n g, And children's merry voices ring
Do you not hear the rnng of earth, Her song of happiness and mirth?
For spring is in the air!
- Jeanette Fogelson, '28
Class History
"In I 492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue."
Not less than he In historie
The class of '28 arnve lfl r925.
If only Columbus could have been there that day in September to see all the proud freshies stalk into the auditorium with a courage that almost surpassed his! If he had lingered, he might have seen that courage vanish before the superior glances of the student council members. The discoverer, who himself had sailed uncharted seas, would certainly have sympathized with the freshmen, about to set out on an uncertain voyage of four years duration.
But these same children soon proved to those, all too condescending council members that they meant business. In the fall of '25, the officers were elected, which proved that the class of '28 was due for recognition. Herbert Gooch became president; Max Funke, vice -pr esident; Genevieve Kumpf, treasurer; Charles Anderson, £ecretary; and John Stone, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Ruth Price and Miss Lillian Portenier were chosen as sponsors.
Arthur Danielson was elected president the second semester; adine Wells, vice-president; Harriett Whitman, secretary; Mildred Gish, treasurer; Betty Sain, editor, and Robert Danielson, sergeant - at-arms.
The second semester the class held a joint meeting with the freshman girls club and decided to give a hobby show. This was the first hobby show in the history of Lincoln high school, and apparently it was a great success.
This energetic class put on one of the best assemblies of the year, as even the juniors and seniors were forced to admit. The boys octet sang tw o numbers, Ona Jorgenson gave a reading, Harriett Whitman and Ruth Tomson sang several Irish folk songs, Myron Bloom played a saxophone solo, and a group of boys gave a tin soldier drill.
Then came 1926, and members of the class of '28 became sophomores, which translated, means wise focls. aturally officers had to be elected, and again the class -19-
showed its good judgment by selecting Nadine Wells as president; Charles Anderson, vice-president; Russell Trott, secretary; Milton Gish, treasurer; Fred McFarland, editor, and Holmes Congdon, sergeant-at-arms.
Nadine \Vells and Betty Everett were chosen t::i repre,ent the class on the all girls council. Betty Sain and Arthur Danielson became sophomore members of the student council. Later, however, Arthur got in a hurry and was graduated with the class of '27-everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
Herbert Rennell represented the class in debate as an alternate on the school team. In the interclass debates, the sophomores defeated the freshmen in the first round. December 3 I, the sophomores met the seniors, who had previously defeated the juniors, in a debate held in assembly. The sophomore team, Katharine Howard, Robert Rait and Herbert Rennell, again received the decisiof\ ,and carried off the Magee cup, while the seniors were left in the dust.
Katharine Howard was elected president the second semester; Bernice Schellenberg, v:ce-president; Dorothy Kimmel, secretary; Howard Colton, treasurer; Betty Pringle, editor, and Howard Van Sickle, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Portenier left school and Miss Grace McMahon was chosen as sponsor in her place Miss Price and JVIiss McMahon piloted the class through the remaining two and a half years.
Station S O P H ( sophomore cla,s) broad casted in assembly an excellent radio program consisting of musical selections, speeches, readings and bed-time stories ( for the benefit of the seniors). The program was so good that Lauer Ward, the announcer, could scarcely take care of the tons of telegrams of acknowledgements he received. Even President Coolidge was said to have wired congratulations to the class.
Then the sophomores reached the estate of juniors. What a grand and glorious feeling! They now received the respectful consideration of the seniors and could do unto the sophomores as they had been done unto when they were sophomores; but one revenge this class didn't get was on the freshmen. The reason was simple: there were no longer any freshmen!
The class elected Howard Van Sickle junior president the first semester; Milton Gish, vice-president; Dean Schuyler, secretary; Dorothy Ager, treasurer; Howard Col ton, editor, and John Turner, sergeant-at-arms.
On the all girls council the junior representatives were Rachel Bramon, Katharine Howard, Betty Hobbs. and Jean Rathburn who was elected to take the place of Ruth Tomson.
Herbert Rennell, Mildred Dole, Milton Gish, Betty Harrison, Robert Kiffin , and Dorothy Kimmel of the class of '28 were the junior representatives elected to the student council.
The second semester rolled around and so did class elections. Charles Anderson bec_ar~1e president; Winifred \Vebster, vice-president; Robert Kiffin, ecretary; W1ll1am Irons, treasurer; Aleen eely, editor, and Albert Todd, sergeant-at-arms.
During this semester, the class presented its first play, The Youngest. It was the story of a youngest down-trodden on who asserts his rights and becomes the head of the family. The leads were taken by Rex Seaton as the Youngest, and Katharine Howard, who as Nancy Blake tries to make a man of him. Oh , of course there ,vas an assembly to advertise the play with saxophone solos, readings, piano selections, songs and a tap dance.
Edwin Faulkner, the Nelson brothers-Meredith and Leonard-Herbert Rennell and Lauer Ward, all mighty wielders of words, were on the debate squad during thei;
K s
junior year. At the Fremont tournament they worked up to the semi-finals but were defeated there by Hastings. The class of '28 must make its bow to the sophomores, though. They defeated Lauer "\,Yard , Leonard Telson and Robert Rait in the interclass debate.
In the spring came the olymp:cs and, although the seniors claimed the victory, the younger class had one glorious feather in it s cap : by a clever!)' planned attack, the senior colors came down in seve nteen seconds.
Vacation came, and then in a lmo st no tim e a t a ll, the cla of '28 was singing "We are seniors glorious!" Seniors! What a year that word foretells. The lzst and best year of all in the old high sc hool.
The class was divided into two g roup s, the winter and the June en:ors. Rob e rt Suter became president of the winter class; Claude Austin, vice -president; Ludwig Gartner , trea s urer; Richard Armstrong, secre tar y, and vVilliam Irons , sergeant-atarms.
Berne Packer was elected president of the June seniors; Willard Hedge , vicepresident; Robert Kiffin , tre as urer, and Theodore Kiesselbach , sergeant-at-arm,.
Class color day was the first big event of the sc hool year. Every senior girl wore purple paper ruffs arou nd her neck and wrists, and the boy s looked like college presidents in their mortar board caps of purple and white. A one-act fantasy, Three Pills in a Bottle, was given by the seniors as a part of their assembly program. Carl Frolich sang A sleep in the De e p. The program continued with a violin selection by Abraham Hill and a vocal solo by Mildred Dole.
Twelve seniors made up the better part of the student council. They were Don Carr, Rachel Branson, John Turner , the Gishes-Milton and Mildred-Betty Hobbs, Rus ~e ll Trott, Mildred Dole , Theodore Kiesselbach, Duane Boulter, Winifred Webster, Katharine Howard and Aleen eely who replaced Katharine during the second semester. Gwendolyn Hager , Bereniece Hoffman, Betty Pringle, Clara Christensen, and Bernece Lieberman represented the class of '28 on the all girls council.
The senior class, being original, gave three one-act plays rather than the usual one three-act play. Th e Bishop 's Candlesticks was a bit from Les Miserables , The Trysting Place , a delightful comedy by Tarkington, and The Knave of Hearts, a humorous fantasy woven around the rhyme,
"The knave of hearts He stole some tarts."
On January 22, 1928, one hundred and fifty-seven winter seniors were graduated. Twenty of them received membership in the National Honor Society. The Reverend Paul Calhoun delivered the senior sermon and Rose Lee Cohen and Paul Moessner were the senior speakers For their last semester, the June seniors chose Duane Boulter as president; Theodore Kiesselbach, vice-president; Milton Gish, secretary; Jean Rathburn , treasurer; Robert Kiffin , editor, and Richard Travis, sergeant-at-arms.
The class gave a leap year dance. By the way, another distinguishing feature of the class of '28 was the fact that it was graduated in leap yea r.
It is t ime to pull down the asbestos curtain . (What an appropriate gift a new curtain would be for the senior class to leave! That would at least be one thing the underclassmen would thank it for.) Good by, Lincoln high, the class of '28 has done its best for you!
And so the voyage is ended .
Our Senior Sponso rs
To you who have guided us through four years of effort, To you who have been an inspiration in bringing out the be~t that was in us, To you who have encouraged us onward through discouragements to the goal of succe s,
To you, our sponsors, we the cla,s of I928 give our appreciation.
To a Pussy Willow
Ah , timid little Mistress Pussy ·willow, You're hiding in your coat of cozy brown, But I can see you peeping from its cover; I love to stroke your head of fuzzy down.
You make me think that you are hy and modest; Your little gown is sober, amber grey, But glints of hining silver , like rich velvet , Gleam in your fur and make you very gay.

St u d e nt C ou ncil
During the nine years which have elapsed since the founding of the student council its field of activity has broadened extensively. There are many ways in which it is possible for it to serve Lincoln high. This year under the lead~rship of the two fine presidents , Milton Gish and Donald Carr , and with the careful guidance of its sponsor, Miss Elisabeth Wittmann., the council has made 1928 an exceedingly progressive year.
One of the most important pieces of work undertaken was the drawing up of a uniform class constitution. If each class adopts it as its own constitution, all class procedures including elections will be standardized and hence greatly simplified.
A new plan for paying for stage scenery was worked out this year. Each of the five clubs which give performances annually will pay a small rent on the properties in~tead of bearing the initial cost as heretofore. This system will not only divide the burden of expense , but it will also provide a fund for stage improvements.
The student council acted as host to the sop,homores entering in the fall and in Januar y by presenting a program and helping them to register.
The council was responsible for two assemblies during the year. The first wa, the annual color day assembly with all the trimmings that must attend such a frivolous occasion. To advertise the all-school event, joy night , which the student council sponsors yearly, the second assembly was held. Some two thousand spectators witnessed joy night with mirth equaled only by that aroused by previous joy nights.
Then again, the council tried to make the school more pleasant by converting the cafeteria into a hall of victory. This was accomplished by decorating it with old pennants and banners won in athletic contests years ago.
This year the council continued to sponsor the matinee parties, as io the past, with several important changes. A five-cent admission fee was collected in order to provide a better orchestra. The second improvement - the addition of wax for the floor - seems to have materially increased the popularity of these parties.
Showing courtesy to visiting athletic teams was. another duty undertaken by the council. The courtesy committee cooperated with the L club in spreading the spirit of the Red and Black.
A large amount of material has been collected by this years council, to be used in the manual of administration which will probably be published next year.

Home Room Representatives
The home room representative body is the go-between for the students and the student council. Popular vote in each home room is the method by which members of this group are chosen.
The " reps " voted for two amendments to the high school constitution. The first stated that home room representatives are to be elected at the end of the first week of sc hool in the fall instead of during the fourth week. The second amendment provided that the representatives shall serve as hall guides.
The representative s from junior home rooms nominated candidates for the st udent council to fill the vacancy made by a dropping out of a junior girl. The senior representatives likewise chose seve ral candidates to replace senior members of the council who had resigned . In order to eliminate further inconveniences of this sort, the representative body pas sed a resolution to the effect that if there should be a vacancy during the semester, the student who had received the next highe t vote at the last regular election would replace the member resigning.
The "reps" did their bit toward making this years color da y successful by selling pennants, caps, canes and arm bands of red and black. John Stone served as chairman of the organization . Miss Elisabeth Wittmann acted as adviser .

All Girls League Counci l
Collecting old broken toys from the students, having them mended and repainted by the manual training classes, and then distributing them to children in orphanages at Christmas time, was but one of the many ways in which the all girls council has proved itself to be among the mo5t useful of all school organizations. It also supervised the collection of funds for the Social Welfare Society.
The decoration of the stage for athletic assemblies was in the hands of this group of girls, as was the designing of the high school float for the Armistice Day parade. Both semesters an assembly and a party were given for all the girls of the school. In addition to this t he all girls league gave the prologue for joy night.
The league works hand-in-hand with the student council. The girls of the latter body choose the members of the league, six of whom are seniors, four juniors and two sophomores.

THE LINKS could scarcely have gone to press without the aid of many whose names do not appear on the staff page. As in former years, the I 928 <_1nnual has gladly received contributions. The staff has called upon the services of many sen:ors to edit and revise and to verify names and facts. It is impossible to name all who have lent a hand in shaping this publication.
To the art department, Miss Helen Wilson, Miss Gladys Dona and their students, we are indebted for the fine art work which is entirely the result of student effort. As an incentive to encourage students to submit cover designs, a volume of THE LINKS was offered for the best. Helene Gunther received the pnze. The students who furnished the most art work for THE LINKS were appo:nted art editors this year.
Tot only did members of the staff give their services to writing copy which was not definitely assigned, but others not on the staff lent their aid. Among these are Alice Geddes, who edited copy, Mildred Gish and Rasche Myers, who ass:sted in checking the senior biographies, and Richard Burns and orma Odell, who helped by typewriting material in a critical moment.
Mr. Kane's salesmanship cla ses established a record this year by selling the most advertising that has ever been contracted According to the custom, the position of advertising manager and a free volume of THE Lr r Ks were given to the person selling the most advertising. After a close race Helen Dietrich received the awards and Fanny Demehousky came second. For her fine work during the campaign Fanny was awarded a copy of the annual. THE LINKS staff won the subscription contest with the highest salesman on its side.
Bereniece Hoffman was high, selling seventy-six books, while Jean R athburn and Evelyn Engels tied for second place, each selling thi r t y-fi ve volumes .
A volume of THE LI KS was sen t to the family of Harry Fi ber, who died during his last semes t er in high school. He was to have been gradua t ed in June.

Souvenir Football Program
For the third consecutive year, the souvenir football program was put out by Miss Sarah T. Muir 's two newswriting classes. It was a twenty-page booklet measuring seven by ten inches. Two football men in action stood out in black relief against the red of the cover.
The book first sold at the Waite high game and later at the Cn:te contest . The sale and also the printing of the program were under the direction of Foster 1\1atchett, athletic business manager.
Pictures of our opponents from Ohio were included, as were th ose of the members of our own team. The latter also had brief biographies in th e bo:ik. Snapshots illu strating various phases of girls and boys sports accompanied the accounts. The athletic coaching staff, the football reserves, and the basketball, swimming, track , and baseball teams were pictured, as well as the G. A. A. and L clubs.

Athletic Assemblies
To pay tribute to what many considered the greatest football eleven in the history of Lincoln high school, six memorable assemblies were held last fall.
Candidates for cheer leaders tried out in the first rally of this sort, which officially opened the season on October 5. For the first time in m~ny months, the student body had an opportunity to exercise its lungs. What results! W. Harold Browne , football coach, and Earle Johnson, director of physical education in the public schools, explained the newly adopted rules of the game. The schedule for the season was announced. H. 0. Ferguson, who happened to be visiting school at the time, led the students in the familiar chant, Fight, Fight for Lincoln, and Lincoln Will Shine Tonight.
Five days later two very appropriate gatherings were held to celebrate the second victory of the Red and Black over Waite high of Toledo, by a score of 31 to 13. "Don't be overconfident!" was th e warn ing sounded by Will French, the principal , Claude Austin, captain, the coach and George Koster. Nevertheless everyone felt mighty good about the game , and as the team was on the stage for the first time, there wa s much cheering to show appreciation. Glen Case, the new music director , was introduced and led the singing.
The enthusiastic fans were again admo n ished by Mr. French in an assembly which was held ovember 18, that overconfidence is the downfall of many good teams. iVIr. Johnson remarked that to underrate one's opponent was a sure indicat ion of poor sportsmanship. A new organization in the music department of Lincoln high school, the brass quartet, played a special number for this program.
That the boys had brought home "the bacon" was evident from the decorations of the stage, the modestly triumphant mien of the players themselves and the exuberance of the students a t th e last football assembly, held December 2. M. C. Lefler, the superintendent, who was present to add his congratulations, made a short talk on the three G's - Grit, Get and Gumption. Coach Browne reviewed the season and Capta·n Claude Austin introduced the captain elect, Harold Schmi tt.
The first basketball assembly, given on January 13, was also the first athletic rally of the new year. Coach Browne reviewed the history of basketball from its earliest days down t o th e present. He urged everyone to turn out for the first home game of the season and give the te am suppor t .
LI
Ju t before the exciting contest with Crete on February IO, another a embly of this ort ·was held. Again the band was on the stage and played everal pieces, one being Indian Dawn with Reed mith as concert oloist . Happiness and how it m:ght be attained was the topic upcn which Walter J. Kirkbride, head of Roberts Dairy, spoke . Mr. French gave the team encouragement by alluding to apoleon's ,tatement, "Over the Alps lies Italy." Another rally was held 1arch 7 to arouse enthusiasm for the state tournament. Coach Browne and 0. B. Anderson, physical training director of the local Y. l\I. C. A., were the speakers.
Advertising Assemblies
Assembl:es used for advertisi n g purpo,es were the exception rather than the rule this year. Indeed the opera, joy night and TttE LINKS were the only undertaking who e advertising campaigns included assembly programs, as other means were used for heralding plays.
OKM TX!! Horsefeathers! April 9, 1928, will always be remembered as the day that Lincoln high school was visited by the honorable Barney Google in an as - emblr given by the tudent cou n cil to advertise joy night. Barney, alias P orter Cannon, gave a campaign speech, urging the students to give him a helping hand so that he might get to the White House. The campaigners, idney Pepple, Richard Travis, Howard Van Sickle a nd Carl Frolich, sang a rnng entitled The Billy Goat Blues. Then some of the Bill y Goats persuaded Pu zzums, or Clyde Wedgewood, to play on hi French horn. That most famou horse, !lark Plu g, (i n other words Reed Sartor and Wallace Webster) gave a tap dance. The trainer, Sunshine, ( Horace 1unger plus burnt cork) also appeared. To convince Barne\' that he should stay for joy night, Don Carr called upon some of the "Twenty million" to give samples of what they could do. Forrest p:eler began the demonstration with a mouth harp selection. ext, Wilhelmein prague danced for l\1r. Google.
The climax came when four members of the facultv dre sed as glee club girl sang a few songs. This quartet was composed of Mrs. Grace Hratt, Miss Elisabeth Wittmann, Miss Mary Hullhorst and Miss Louise Miller. The head custodian, Edwin Gei,tlinger, played a few numbers on his accordeon. By this time the Exalted Angora had decided to stay, but just as the boosters had finished singing Come and Get a Place for Joy ight, Fannie Bell Finch, none other than 1ilton Gish, ran out on the stage and frightened the poor billy goats away .
Golf links, chain l:nks, a lynx, sausage links and THE LI;'l;'KS \\ ere pictured on posters decorating the tage for THE LIKKS as embly The advertising campaign was officially opened when the first copy of the bock was old to Lauer '\Vard b:, Charles Ander on, circulaticn manager, in a f ketch entit led A Lesson in Buymanship. Bereniece Hoffman, editor-in-chief, was in charge of the program and introduced Mr. French who gave a talk on THE LINKS and its relat:on to Lincoln high school. The enior boy quartet sang a one of their ,election,, a song written br ii Elisabeth '\Vittm ann set to the tune of A 1110119 il ly ouvcn ·rs. Dwight Means, accompan:e:I e n the piano by Harold P eterson, gave a clog dance. Edwin Faulkner, man1g ng editor, told when, where and why everyone should purchase THE LINKS.
Dramatic Assemblies
"We must have more as emblie like thi ", said Mr. French, as the stude nt by con tinu al clapping evinced their approval of the reading East Is f!Vest. This three- act play was read in assembly by Miss Be atrice Hullett of the dramatic department of the University of Tebraska. Program " of this sort are always accepted with delight by th e stude nt body.
The Mummers, in tead of giving an a sembly to rouse interest in their play, waited till later in the seme ter to present a program before the chool. A one-act -90-
comedy, The Unseen, was g iven br Clara Christensen, Rexford Seaton and Jessie Mae Kurk. Swiss songs were sung by Helene Gunther and a reading was given by Berneice De Long.
What was perhaps the most moving of all the plays presented during the year was a one-act drama, The P aliant , given in as8embly the second semester by the 1\1 ummers. George Tracy portrayed the part of the criminal ,Yho chose to remain silent and go to the gallows rather than tell the whole of his story and perhaps go free but hurt someone "·horn his silence shielded. The role of his sister, Josephine Paris , wa8 taken by Jean Piper. Willard Hedge was the warden and Don Carr the ch1plain.
Assem blies by Stu d ent Organizat i ons
Much in the way of varied assembly programs has been furn:shed this year by clubs and other student organizations. A program for all the girls of the school was presented ovember 17 by the all girls council. The University Players gave a comedy ent:tled A Alatter of Choice Songs by Eloise Bradford and reading8 by Grace Pechous completed the program.
A Balloonatic Ballet by a bevy of beautiful boys was the feature of the second all girls league assembly, given March 30 to announce the organization's Balloonatic party. Wilhemein Sprague danced, Frank Wilson played a xylophone solo and Augusta French sang two songs. The last number was a playlet given by Margaret Hullfah and Doris Wilkins.
Each of the classes contributed numbers to an all-school assembly planned by the student council and presented December I 5. Representing the sophomore class, Margaret Hullfish gave a reading and Frank Wilson played a xylophone solo. The juniors offered a girls tumbling act and an animated clog dance by Dorothy McKenzie. As their class contribution the senior boys quartet sang two numbers. The student s were heard to remark that this program was one of the best of the year.
A unique a, sembly was the one given by the Latin classes for the students who were taking that language. AI edicus, a Latin play, was given by members of Miss Ethel Beattie's and Miss Jessie Jury's classes. The pupils of Miss Helen Dunlap sang a Christmas carol in Latin. Another play, A School Cid's D,·eam or Caesar's Ghost, was given by Miss Goldie Applegate's classes Concluding the program, Wentworth Fling gave an illustrated talk on Roman life.
Another all girls assembly was presented, this time sponsored by the girls athletic association. Mildred Gish, Bereniece Hoffman and Betty Willson were the speakers. Several folk dances were given by members of the organization. Miss Olivia Pound awarded four L's to successful girl athletes.
For the first time, the Forum participated in giving an as8embly, and met with high success. The varied program included vocal numbers by Grace Pechous, The Lance of Kanana, a dramatic reading by Paul Calhoun , and an oration, Sparticus to the Gladiators, by Rolland Martin. Following this, a humorous sketch showed Mark Twain being interviewed by a reporter. Philip Brownell took the part of the famous author, and Arnold Kleinebecker was the aspiring young reporter. "Is the Moon Made of Cheese?" was the question investigated by a senatorial committee consisting of Senators Edwin Faulkner, Lauer Ward, Frederick Eiche, Russell Beers and Wallace Fraser. Paul Calhoun, Leonard Nelson and John Hanson, witnesses, were called t '.) the stand to testify in this cheese scandal investigation, which closed the assembly.
Musical Assemblies
Members of Sigma Alpha Iota, musical sorority of the University of ebraska, gave an a ~embly program early in the fir8t semester. A string trio comprising Miss Gladys Beyette, cellist, Miss Blanche Larabee, violinist, and Miss Elaine McBeth, pianist, gave several numbers. Miss Eleanor Larson, soprano, sang
The following day the high school orche5tra under the direction of Charles B. Righter , jr., appeared in assembly. Three selections from the Don Quixote suite were played. Paul N Campbell, assistant principal , gave a complete explanation of the National Honor Society with which Lincoln high school became affilia ted last spring.
Members of the class of I 92 7 returned to school to give an as5embly. Emanuel Wishnow played the violin, Lawrence Tyler , the flute, and Sarah Vance, the harp. Roger Robinson sang several pieces, as did the g:rls quartet. Another alumni assembly was given by members of other graduated classes. Jeanette Ol so n, '22, gave two piano solos; Flo yd Robinson, '23, sang a baritone so lo; Eugene Robb, '26, played on the French horn; Sy! via Cole, '2 r, sa ng two contralto so los; and Dorothy Howard, '24, played two violin numbers.
Three selections from the opera Faust were played by the high school orchestra the next time it appeared in assembly. Don Abbott, a member of the ' orchestra, gave a cornet solo. The Doll's Hous e, by Katherine Mansfield, was read by Blanche Farram, a graduate of the class of '25.
With a Christmas tree on either side of the stage, thirt y-two lighted candles representing the years of Christ's life, along the footlights, and a star shining in the background, the two annual Christmas assemblie5 had their customary setting. For the first, held December 2 r, the glee clubs sang Christmas carols, with the audience joining in on Silent Night, and O Come, All Ye Faithful. The string quartet played a selection and the girls octet sang two songs. The Reverend Benjamin F. Wyland spoke.
Th e Messiah was given the next day by the advanced glee clubs. The soloists were Miss Vera Upton, soprano; Mrs R. 0. Hummel , contralto; George Lessenhop, tenor; and Oscar Bennett, bass. Softly fading strains of Silent Night from afar off the stage ended what was perhaps the loveliest assembly of the year.
Lectures
In having 5ome very interesting lectures this year, Lincoln high school has been exceedingly fortunate. John Curtis, vice-president of the American Legion , was the speaker on Armistice Day. His talk was thoroughly interesting and it inspired in everyone a desire to be patriotic. On the same program the girls glee club, under the direction of Miss Helen Stowell, sang three select:ons.
Oz Black, always welcome, again made hi5 appearance on the Lincoln high school stage. In his chalk talk he drew a series of ten pictures of some of the best known people in and about school. The girls string quartet, a new musical group organized by Mr. Righter, made its debut in this assembly . The quartet consisted of Lucile Aura, Frances Dowling, Laverne Jacobson and Claire Heflin, accompanied by Bernice Schellenberg.
" othing of a small nature registered with Lincoln", stated the Reverend Paul Calhoun of the First Presbyterian church in his address on Lincoln's birthday. He went on to say that if America honors her constitution, she honors Lincoln who preserve d it. The Cornhusker 5tring quartet, Henry Knies , Emanuel Wishnow, Kenneth Loder and Philip Jorgenson, pla ye d several numbers.
Philip Martindale , the chief forest ranger at Old Faithful Camp in Yellowstone Park, spoke of and illustrated the beauties of the park and also told how the forest rangers help protect the animals and guard forest reserve5. Besides being very instructive the talk made many of his hearers long for a vacation and the great outdoors.
In memory of George Wa,hington , "The Father of Our Country", the Reveren:l Edwin C. Palmer , pastor of the All Souls Unitarian Church, spoke in as::embly, Februar y 22, on The JJ,faking of a Nation He stressed especiall y the importance of a good leader and the difficulties which Washington encountered with his small unorganized army. Preceding the speech the Wesleyan girls quartet sang a group of four songs.
The Senior Honorary Society
The Senior Honorary Society is a national organization, a local chapter of which was formed in Lincoln high school for the first time in the spring semester of 1927. Tew members are elected from both the winter and the June graduating class. Miss Margaret Proctor is the sponsor.
To encourage a high order of scholarship is the chief purpose of the society. Requirements for membership are high scholarship, good character , leadership and service to the school. Only those in the upper one -thi rd of the class are eligible to election.
Usually during the last six weeks of a semester, the registrar makes a list of all the graduates, arranging them in the order of their academic standing. Eligibility can thus be determined. Meanwhile, all teachers make a list of students they believe worthy of membership. These suggestions are tabulated according to the frequency with which fhe student has been nominated. A committee composed of thirty teachers of senior subjects is then appointed. The members of this committee meet with the principal al)d each is given a list of the eligible seniors. The balloting is continued until the number is sufficiently reduced. About one -half of those eligible, or fifteen percent of the whole graduating class, finally become members. The two classes, the winter and the June, are considered separately in this selection, and fifteen percent of each become members.
The new members hold a meeting and elect three officers, who remain in office until the members from the following class have chosen their leaders.
From the members of the winter class of l 928 the following officers were elected:
Since 1918 five prizes and awards have been presented to seniors each year, and in 1919 one more was added. The Harry Sidney Dobbins medal, which was first awarded in 1913 by Mr. and Mrs. Harry T. Dobbins, is given to the boy who has best represented the school in interscholastic sports and who is notable for good sportsmanship and scholas tic standing. Two prizes, the Fred Gardner scholarship medal and the senior prize which is offered to the boy or girl who best represents the ideals of Lincoln high sc hool , were established in 1917. In 191& a first prize
of ten doll a rs and a second pi;ize of five dollar s for the b est graduation dress made within a fixed pri ce were offered by the Rotary Club. Miss Gertrude Jones started in 1919 the practice of awarding a cup t o the girl who has best comb ined athletics and scholarship

Attempting to steer away from the "old style" methods of debate as much as possible, Lincoln high school debaters this year have aimed at developing pleasant and vigorous speech rather than the conventional frenzied harangue . Contact with the audience, clear and logical analy is, and extemporaneous delivery may summarize what members of the squad have set as their goals for the year.
During the early part of the season, a 2 to r decision was lost to University Place on a proposition which was used throughout the searnn, "Resolved, that Congress should submit to the several states a new child labor enactment." Meanwhile Un:versity Place continued unbeaten through the majority of the contests of the season; and , while Lincoln did the same, and has won unanimous decisions in everr case, the percentage report till placed the Jackson high team at the top. Should the suburban team lose a debate, then another debate between Lincoln and themselves would be scheduled, to decide the championship.
Perhaps the greatest achievement of the Lincoln team was the progress made at the Midland College invitation debate tourney held in Fremont, February 23, 24 and 25. Entering the meet with practically no material save a few notes, the team fought its way by extemporaneous speeches through the preliminaries of the tourney and went to the finals , where it lost to Blair by a 2 to I decision.
Sixteen teams entered the tournament and the Lincolnites drew Norfolk in the first round. Winning over the northeast Nebraska champions by a 2 to r decision, they went into the second round, where they completed the preliminaries by defeating Beatrice by another 2 to I decision. In the semi-finals Ha tings, the team which put Lincoln out last year, was defeated by a 2 to r count; but in the finals as mentioned before, the locals lost.
The general conduct of the Lincoln team was praised by officials throughout the three-day period, and as the tournament broke up on the morning of Saturday, February 25, John D. Hansen, debate coach, was given a farewell from Midland college with the words: "You have gentlemen on your team".
The members of the team at the tournament were Meredith Nelson, a debater of two years experience; Edwin Faulkner, a former reserve team man; and John Edwards, a one-time orth Platte high school debater. This group made up the regular team. Elwood Thompson and Leonard Nelson attended the meet as alternates.
In addition to the five debaters named above, orman Malcolm, Paul Calhoun, Gordon Wyland, Grayce Pechous, Ruth Grossman and Louise Pearson ere members of the squad. During the latter part of the season two second teams composed of non-
OISH
regulars were formed. Paul Calhoun, Gordon Wyland, Elwood Thompson and Torman Malcolm formed a reserve team, while Grayce Pechous, Louise Pearson and Ruth Grossman made up the girls team
The season was opened early in December when Lincoln journeyed to Omaha and met Omaha Tech in debate. Two debates with Omaha Central in Lincoln followed, and two wi t h Havelock. During the week after Chri~tmas little was done concerning outside debating, for the members of the team concentrated their efforts in studying various phases of debate work.
Next came deba t es with Fremont, Ashland, Plattsmouth and Hebron, as well as the lamentable Universi t y Place debate - the only reverse of the season. Other teams which Lincoln met during the season were as follows : Beatrice, Raymond, Wesleyan P rep, Hastings, Norfolk, Blair, Crete, P leasant Dale and Sutton
The majority of those on the squad were graduated, but Elwood Thompson, Paul Calhoun, Gordon Wyland, Norman Malcolm and Ruth Grossman were left to carry on.

The chemistry club is one of the oldest organizations in high school. Through its influence more students are becoming interested in chemistry every year.
The meetings, always instructive, have been made exceptionally interesting this year by the lectures and experiments of several university professors. The talk given by Professor Haney proved most diverting, as did his astonishing experiments with liquid air.
The chemistry club, in serving refreshments after the meetings, has established a custom which several of the other clubs have adopted. One may become a member by attending three meetings.

The Forum
To foster and promote public speaking in Lincoln high school, the Forum was founded in 1917. This year, however, the club has extended its activities over a wider field. Members have been sent to speak before civic organizations, and some of them entered the state declamatory contest. Interscholastic public speaking contests were also promoted by the club this year. A silver loving cup called th e Faulkner contest cup was presented to the Forum bv E. J. Faulkner. It will have engraved upon it the names of the winners in inter-Forum contests.
Each Forumite is expected to contribute something to the meetings, which makes the programs and discussions lively. The club holds annually a party, a banquet, a picnic and a mock senate or a mock trial.

The girls athletic association promotes girls athletics, develops good sportsmanship and combines health ,.vith fun. Any girl who has earned one hundred points in after school sports, is eligible to membership. The number of points required to win an L was lowered from one thomand to six hundred this semester. This should stimulate a greater desire among the girls to win a letter.
The G. A. A. members take an active part in all school projects. They presented two assemblies and a stunt for joy night this year. They also sold candy at the football and basketball games, at the olympics and during second lunch. A large part of the proceeds from these sales was given over to the wall fund.

The L Club
The L club was first organized in 1924 for all boys who have won a first team letter in athletics. Its aim is to promote the now famous slogan, "A sport for every student and every student in a sport". The members try to set an example by showing good citizenship and good sportsmanship at all athletic events. It welcomes and entertains all visiting athletic teams. •
This year the L club supervised the eligibility of letter men. Through the efforts of the organization it was possible for members to gain free admis~ion to athletic contests.
The members had a private club room which they decorated and maintained throughout the first semester. In the spring a banquet was held for all L club alumni.

The household arts club, whose name clearly denotes its character, joined the home economics association this year, an alliance {vhich will probably prove valuable to the girls who are interested in the domestic arts
At Thanksgiving and again at Christmas time the members prepared baskets of food and gathered clothing, which they gave to needy families. Candy and popcorn sales were held regularly, and the profits donated t o the wall fund.
Their efforts are not entirely spent on charitable projects, for social meetings and parties are held occasionally, as well as instructive meetings at which persons interested in household arts , speak. Any girl who has tak en a subject in the household arts department is elig:ble to membership.

The Mummers
About five hundred years ago there were groups of players traveling about Europe who were known as mummers because they practiced pantomime only. The dramatic club of the high ~chool adopted their name but not their principles, for the spoken drama is highly endorsed and carried on by the Mummers. Membership is determined either by try-out~ in the form of readings and pantomimes, or by one's having had a part in a play.
In keeping with their custom of offering a drama annually, the Mummers this year presented a three-act play entitled The Romantic Age. In addition to this, two assemblies and a sketch for joy night were prepared and given.
The Dyspeptic Ogre and The Valiant, one-act plays, were given as special features at two of the meetings. At a farewell party given for members who were winter graduates, a covered dish supper prepared by the girls of the club, was served.

Round Table
The Round Table, the oldest club in high school, was founded in 1913 under the name of the Bmy Bees. Membership in this organization is open to all girls in the normal training department. Its purpose is to bring together the girls of this department and to study the problems that may come up in their public school teaching. omeone acquainted with these problems usually speaks at the meetings. Programs and games uitable for school entertainment are emphasized. The social festivities of this club include a Chri tma party and a spring p:cnic.
Before la st year the scenery for the school productions was built and shifted by boys who were interested in this ,, o~k , but there was no real organization among them. Since the formation of the stagecraft club, however, this has been handld by an experienced crew.
The past year has been a busy one for the club. Besides the regular scenery work, members built an arch which makes the stage appear deeper, and constructed scenery for balls and dance recitals. Room 2 I 8 was used as the club room in "·hich properties and other stage paraphernalia were kept.
For the success of this years stage plays, some of the credit must go to the members of this club , who have made and managed the scenes with an almost professional touch. •

The Student Club of Gi rl Reserves
The student club of Girl Reserves is a high school branch of the Y. W. C. A. Its aim is "to find and give the best", an d any girl in school willing to try to do this may become a member.
This year the in-coming sophomores were looked after by their student club "Big Sisters". The usual charity work was done. However, a project far more exciting than giving food and clothing to poor families was carried out It was the adoption of a baby girl. Her many volunteer mothers provided her with a new wardrobe a n d are paying her expenses. The student club also sponsored a "Father and Daughter" night , presented an assembly and a stunt for joy night, and gave a party.
Some of the members attended the district convention in Omaha and seven delegates were sent to the Girl Reserve conference which was held during the summer of 1927 at Lake Okoboji , Iowa.

Op er a
Tlie Firefl3 ,, a comic opera by Otto Hauerbach and Rudolph Friml, was presented this year. The scenes are laid in New York City and in the Bermuda Islands.
At the rise of the curtain, Nina, a little Italian street singer, is discovered inging on the yachting pier in Tew York City. The members of a yachting party, _ attracted by her, cause her to be disguised so that they may take her to the Bermuda Islands as a cabin boy.
In the party is an old choirmaster, Herr Franz, who is much attracted to the singer. He is about to adopt ina, but discovers that his protege is a girl, and is grieved and disappointed, for he had hoped to take this supposed boy with the unusual soprano voice, and train him. However, he is finally persuaded to adopt Tina and he hopes to fulfill his dream by making her a great singer.
After a lapse of several years, Herr Franz brings an opera star called Madame Gianina, who is in reality the former street singer, to New York City. Here she is to sing at a party given by Mrs. Van Dare.
The love story of the opera is made up of complications in the affairs of Jack, the hero; Geraldine, his betrothed; and Nina, the firefly girl.
The humor is furnished by Jenkins. His rollicking lines in every act evoked convulsions of laughter.

Ad v anced Glee Clubs
To become a member of the advanced glee clubs is the ambition of many students, and naturally so, for in no other high school organization, perhaps, are work and pleasure so well combined.
The boys and girls glee clubs have sung together on several occasions this year. They appeared on the program of one of the vesper concerts and at the convention of the Nebraska State Teachers Association. Excerpts from the Messiah, which were sung for a Christmas assembly, were repeated for a meeting of the Nebraska association of school boards and school executives. The glee clubs were also entered in the s tate music contest.
The girls glee club alone sang for the Greater Lincoln exposition, the Wooden Spoon and several assemblies.
At the beginning of the semester, Glen M. Case reported a shortage of tenors in the boys glee club. These vacancies were speedily filled, however, and the result was a well balanced chorus. The male quartet, whose members are Sidney Pepple, Richard Travis, Howard Van Sickle and Carl Frolich, were much in deman:I for as , emblies and other programs. Dorothy Johnson is the accompanist.

The junior glee clubs have relatively the same position to the advanced glee clubs as the preparatory orchestras have to the advanced instrumental organization. That is , they afford tra'ning for the senior organizations.
However, the junior glee clubs appear more often in public than the preparatory orchestras. They took part in the Chri~tmas assembly, singing Deep Ri7. •er by Burleigh and Sanctus by Gounod. They formed the nucleus for the chorus of two hundred which opened the program at the mid-year concert. The finale, Com e to the Fair, w as presented on the joy night program by this group. Glen M. Case directs them, and they are acccmpanied bv Esther Ro,enbury, Lois Freeman and Dorothea Morse
Charles B . Righter , Jr.
The music department ha~ a new director this year in Charles B. Righter, jr. He has been here in Lincoln high school for nine years in the capacity of instructor of t he band and orchestra, and attended this school before that as a student, so he is not new to the institution.
Much of the obvious success of the mid -year concert was the remit of Mr. Righter's efforts. The vesper concerts which were presented on Sundav afternoons were arranged by him. He al o had charge of the several musical assemblies.

Advanced Orchestra
Concentration on the scores placed before the members of the advanced orchestra and the development of better technique and interpretation , enabled them to master many more compositions than in former vears. Special emphasis has been placed on solo work with orche8tra accompaniments th:s year. DeBeriot's concerto for the violin and Mendelssohn's concerto for the piano were among those of a difficult nature. The Londonderry Air arranged for the oboe and bassoon, two uncommon instruments, was played for several programs.
The national high school orchestra, which met in Chicago during the week of April 16, drew two representatives from the advanced orchestra, both of whom took first honor~ in their re spective sections. Royce Miles, who plays the bassoon , ar>d Abraham Hill, viola, were the successful contestants.
Talent in the orchestra is not confined to these two , however. According t o \Villiam Lar so n of Iowa State College, who ha s been giving a series of tests to high school orchestras all over the country, the Lincoln high 8chool organization is at the head of the Est. These tests, which are nationally known, embrace rhythm , time, pitch, and tonal memory.
Previous to this year, it had been customary for the band to play for lo ca l l•rncheon clubs. However, since it had so many engagements to fill this year, Will French, principal, suggested that the orchestra assume this undertaking. The Rotary , Liens and Optim sts clubs made appreciative audiences for the se concerts.

The band has become such an essential part of school life that it is hard to conceive of high school without it. Seen on the auditorium st age, it has come to mean assurance of a livel y assembly or rally; at football games and other athletic contests, its presence is indispensable. A large part of the music for the mid-year concert was furnished by this organizatipn.
However, the band does not devote all its energies to activities about school. This year it has played for the state high school executives meeting, the Greater Lincoln exposition and the combination band concert led by Sousa.

Preparatory Orchestra
Consideration of the needs of the band and orchestra has led to the formation of two preparatory orchestras in which pupils are apprenticed for the advanced work. The instruments in th e various sections are not perfec tl y balanced, but this is not essential, because the preparatory classes are primarily for training in technique and interpre t ation. Here one may also learn the art of conducting, for students assist Mr. Righter in direct in g th e orches t ras. These organizations join in .1,1roviding music for the plays which are given throughout the year.

Mid -Year Concert
The Orpheons , in presenting the eleventh annual mid-year con : ert , were even more ambitious than in former years, for the numbers given were much more difficult than tho se attempted before. ,
A chorus of two hundred voices sang first under the direction of Glen M . Case. This group was made up of the junior glee clubs augmented by members of the chorus classe!'. The orchestra furnished the accompaniment.
Fair Ell en, a cantata by Max Bruch, was sung by the advanced glee clubs as the principal part of the program. Solo parts were taken by members of the glee clubs. Again, the orchestra accompanied them. Three selections were sung by the girls glee club, with Miss Helen Stowell directing.
The latter half of the program ,vas devote::! almo!'t " -holl y- 'to instrument a l music. After an intermiss : on the band reopened the program with the Bridal Rose overture by Levallee, which was followed by Con A more by Beaumont. The girls octet sang a group of songs.
The Lincoln high school orchestra concluded the program with Mozart's Jl,farriag e of Figaro, the dance suite from Henry f/III and Ai,e Alari e by Mascagni, in which Don Abbott played the solo part on his cornet.
State Music Contest
Lincoln high !'chool entered seven groups of conte tants in t he state music contest this year, the maximum number which any school may send. Two of these events were solos and the remaining five were group work
Don Abbott who played the trumpet, and Sydney Pepple who sang a tenor' so-lo, were chosen by try-ou t. The group entries were the girls octet and girls glee club, both directed by Miss Helen Stowell; the boys glee club, with Glen M. Case as d irector; and the band and advanced orchestra, both under the direction of Charles B. Righter, jr.
The solo events were held on Friday, May 4, in Morrill Hall, and group events were conducted Saturday in our auditorium
The Hunt
Now from her ocean couch Aurora springs
And with her rosy morning smile, cloud-spattered dawn she brings.
But in half-built Karthage by the Tyrian sea
The huntsmen and youths were up before she.
And down by the gates, the chosen escort
The nets, snares and spears the y carefully sort
Nor of the yelping, keen -scented hounds is there lack
And the Massylian honemen da,h ahead with the pack.
Most noble per,onages at the palace await
Pretty Queen Dido - for , of course, she is late!
In purple and gold, her charger cavorts
And champs at the bit! - and kicks! - and snorts!
At last the Queen comes. Who can but admiFe
Her embroidered cloak- her wondrous attire?
Her hair is fastened with a bauble of gold
And a rich, regal garment does Dido enfold.
And then from the midst of his Trojan allies
Aenea,, the gallant, the handsome , the wise,
Strides forth with stately mien and grace
And as companion to Dido by her s:de takes his place .
-Translation from Virgil's Aeneid
Dawn
A hush pervades the sleeping world,
The last faint stars of night are gone
Save one, which gleams in splendor in the glorious sky.
The rnft, sweet twitter of birds is heard, A soft breeze stirs from over the hills,
And up from other worlds the sun doth rise aflame.

Why G od P ut Ho rns on Tex a s Steers
My father was born on a farm in Nebraska. His boyhood was spent working in the southern part of the s tate, either along the Missouri bottoms or a very few mile, ,ve,t. Those ,rere the days when bushwhackers crossed a nd recrossed the river, hiding in the bluffs by day and rustling cattle and horses by night. Occasionally even a band of Indians would camp up the river or across the country, stealing livestock, begging, drink ' ng and gambling. Those were the days when real adventure was possible; when great herds of cattle were driven acros, the plains, along the river, or fed upon ,tock ranges which are now the center of the richest farming country in the world.
When my father was little more than a boy, he spent many l ong , monotonous hours in the saddle on a cow-pony, driving cattle across the country to be fattened a nd butchered. That wa s hard work then, but it yielded the adventures which we so love to hear.
One incident in particular come, to m y mind. It h appe ned when my father and some others were driving a herd of Texas steers to Peru. The two hundred and fifty steers in the herd were being driven along the last lap of their journey from Tr.xas, to be fattened in the Peru bottoms.
Anyone who has had anything to do with the regular, old-fashioned Texas steers knows that two hundred and fifty steers meant five hundred long, hook-end horns. He also knows that every herd has its lead steer, one who seems to be commonly recognized as the leader of the herd and the determiner of its actions. He generally walkc·d at the head of the herd, guiding its direction. Where he went the herd followed; what he did, the herd did likewise. If he chose to start trouble, the whole herd helped him; if he chose to act like a gentleman, the herd acted like a group of gentlemen. In every re,pect the lead steer was an influenti a l fellow . Some steers could be trained or roped so that they did most of the work of the dr ivers, but others had nasty dispositions.
Of course, to drive such a herd it was necessary to have plenty of men. In open country two men rode at the head of the herd, the others surrounding the side,; but the country my father traversed was fairly well settled. Accordingly, a man rode about two miles ahead of the herd to clear away all dangerou s obstacles or anything which might start a stampede. He also decided upon stopping places for the night.
Early one afternoon, the drivers having lunched, the herd was started on the afternoons journey. As usual , a man had gone ahead to clear the way. He had gone but a few miles when he saw close to the road a ,mall, square house built halfway into the side of a steep bluff. Around the house were many hives buzzing with bees. Behind the house a line of clothes fluttered gaily in the breeze and shimmered in the bright sunlight. Dutifully the driver turned his horse and rode up to the house. A knock on the door brought out an old gray-haired Irish woman.
"Pardon, lady ," began the driver, "but there's a herd of about two hundred and fifty steer, gonna pass here in a few minutes , and it'll be dangerous to leave your warsh on the line "
"Wot?" cried the old woman. "Ye s tand thir an' till me ta tak' in me own warsh? Me a free an' independent woman? Git the likes of yez out o' here an' I'll hear no more from yez ! Ye'll kape yer coos on the road, an' thir's an end to it."
Try as he would, the driver could not dissuade the old woman. So it was that a short while later the herd topped the last bluff. N0w it had advance-:! too far to be stopped. The lead steer had sighted the clothes flapp"ng in the wind and he was making a beeline for them Behind him rushed the h erd.
What was to be done? The lead steer had apparentl y gone crazy over the clothes, and so had .the herd. To try to head them off would be like lying down
in front of a steam roller, and there was no way to scare them. It seemed that there were only two possibilities: to shoot the lead steer, or to wait for the herd to ,tart milling and then rope the leader. It was impossible to shoot the leader, for he was lost to sight in the dust and swirl of horns and hoofs. The only thing to do was to wait.
The herd made short work of the clothes and having had that sport , they started milling. They spread out into a wide circle, dashing around and around the yard and hou,e. Gradually, as the mass of hoofs beat down everything before it, the circle closed in, growing smaller and smaller. With a crash the first b ee-hive went over. Then the second followed, and the third , and so on. Crazed by thousands of bee-stings, the milling herd grew madder than ever, running faster and faster, roaring closer and closer to the little house where the old woman was concealed inside. Suddenly there was a bump, then another, and finally a veritable rattle as the horns of the steers banged and tore against the corners of the house. Splinters flew as the corners were rounded off and the siding was ripped loo se.
Then suddenly a short, fat figure appeared on the little porch. The enraged old woman was violently waving a broom and frantically screaming her cur,es. Every bit of self-control had left her , and now she was almost insane. In a \\ ild burst of anger she lifted her broomstick and brought it down with a terrific whack upon the back of the steer.
Quick as light the steer stopped his flight, and with a jerk threw himself straight at the hysterical old woman. Thud! came the impact. Was she dead? No! There she stood untouched, waving her broom at the head of the maddened steer who had m's ed her and was pawing the ground, twisting his head desperately, and trying to unhook his horns from the posts which supported the little porch-roof overhead.
Yes, it was he! It was the lead steer! And the snakey black noose was tightening around his head and one horn. That ended the affair, for the herd ,vas soon headed for the road once more. The old Irish wcman stood on the porch , still screaming her cruses.
Moral? Well, I suppose that if this story has a moral, it is that when God made ugly tempers in human beings, He also made ugly horns on Texas steers.

A n April Day
A bit of sunsh'ne, a bit of rain
A bit of gloom, and the sun again, Then up from earth, a flowered array. And this we call "An April day."
The song of the bird, the hum of the bee, The buzz of the fly, the buds on the tree, The smell of the loam, the perfume of grass; All this sweet April will bring to pass.
A 10bin's nest here, a wee wren's there, The flicker's hammer, and the catbird's dare, The thrill of joy in the meadowlark's lay; All this we have in an April's day.
The patter of rain, and the thunder's roar, The lightning's flash, and the swift downpour. And the sun tries in vain to hide away, But he can't resist an April's day.
-Alice Geddes, '27

Dreams
"What is so rare as a day in June? " To me that question is not hard to answer-it's a night in January, a night when the wind is strong and getting stronger , when the snow is deep and getting deeper, when the air is cold and getting colder, and I am upstairs in my study, sitting before the large stone fireplac~, watching the flames leap into the air, being fascinated by the glow of the coals beneath th e log s, hearing the music, the huflle of feet , the shreds of lau g ht er which float up from below, and occasionally stroking my big Newfoundland dog, who is stretched out o n the hearth and made lazy by tne heat of the fire.
A I watch the dog respond to the heat , I begin to feel it s effects; it makes me dr ea m. I think of the times I have been on the warm sands of Long Beach , California; of how , o n our first trip s, I used to build sand town 'out of the warm moist sa nd; lat er, of the surf boards. H ow I did enjoy riding behind the motor boats! It would go very nicel y for a while, but then , feeling triumphant, I would bet the driver of the boat th a t he couldn't throw me off. And he would make a sharp curve and I would go down under the cool water and come up sputtering and trying to get him to come back for me, so that I wouldn't have to swim to shore. I think of the times I have sat in a steamer chair on the yacht, the sun beating down on me while I watched the fleecy clouds float across the blue sky or the flags on a near-by vessel gently waving in the breeze.
I slowly come out of these thoughts, and feeling too hot, I move over by the window and watch the snow, driven by the wind I think of da ys of tramping in the wood, of nights of sitting close to the big campfire, hearing the men talk a littl e of game they hot and more of what they almost shot I watch the flames leap far above m y head and break among the tree tops. I can hear the men singing the campfire songs, loud , joyous, happy , carefree, trying to drown out the howl of the ,vinds. The fire dies down, and we roll up in our blankets and sleep before the glowing coals. When we awake in the morning, our blankets are covered ,vith snow; and gee! it's hard to roll out of them! But when the colored cook threatens that those who aren't up in the next ten minutes won't get any breakfast, we all get out in a hurry.
The sound of music takes me out of this dream, and I go over to my chair a nd sit down again. The orchestra downstairs starts to play Home Sweet Hom e. It recalls many last dances. The last dance is always the best dance of the evening. I think of o ne time especially-of a large ship, or a great moon, of two blue eyes; of the s hip's orches t ra breaking from the chords of the Last {IV altz to the firs t note s of Hom e Sw ee t Home; of t he men in their dress su:ts, of th e women in their gay dresses; of the so ft lap of the water on t he sides of the ship, of one girl, of the great mo c n, of two blue eyes, of--, but the door slams downstairs , and I'm again out of my dreams.
It is get t ing late; the par t y is over; the glow of the coals from the fire is very warm; my mind goes back to the hot sa nd s, to the roaring campfire, to the last dance, and I go to slumberland.

Leaves From a Student Notebook
Last night it rained. This morning we enjoyed a beautiful sunrise. I watched it as the rays of light danced from roof to roof, wet by the rain. First a blending of purples and grays, slowly melting into rose, orange and yellow. Higher and higher , more brilliant and powerful each minute How could one blame the ancients for their belief in glorious Apollo and his mighty chariot?
I collected absence slips yesterday. What an object of admiration-or was it only observation-I was! One might think the Prince of Wales was collecting those slips. When I entered a room it was a signal for all eyes to be centered on me. What peculiar scraps of information I received! I hear one tea cher asking her pupils if they know the difference between Santa Ana and Santa Claus. But I may not stay to learn the answer. I am startled in 214 to hear that two alternate interior angles are equal. In 205 and 201 I see the poor children struggling with Caesar and Cicero. I too struggle to keep from laughing at their difficulties. Haven't I experienced these? I finish my rounds a much wiser person than before.
Yesterday I saw a puddle of water in the street \Yhere rnme indu trious p erson had been washing a car. The water had trickled along the curbing for a block or more. I thought how this is like the things we say or do. They may be trivial things, but sometimes they travel farther and wider than we ever dream. Some mention of a friend or acquaintance may develop into gossip and finally reach the ears of that person himself. Our thoughts trickle from one thing to another, like water, following the line of least resistance.
There is nothing prettier and nothing more depressing than leaving dock on a large trans-Atlantic steamer. The boat is literally tied to the dock by the mass of varicolored confetti. Everyone appears gay and happy , but in each heart is that awesome feeling which comes to one setting out on a voyage across the water. As the ste<1.mer slowly moves out, the confetti falls and floats on the tumbled waters. On the dock are waving hats, scarfs and handkerchiefs, till finally the boat drops out of sight.
The smoke stack in the distance stirs one's imagination. Through the mind come thoughts of the "Big Berthas" with which the Germans used to shell Paris. Out of the blackened end, smoke is slowly drifting as if but a few minutes before a projectile had speeded on its way.
The north field from room 203 resembles the bird's eye view of a baldheaded man. At one corner the baseball infield might well be the bald spot on the head. Around this is the grass, which the gymnasium and after-school sport classes have played on until it is brown and bare in spo t s. This is that part of the head of hair " -hich is growing thin. At the edges is the fresh green grass. We shall call this th e hair which bald headed men still have around the ears and on the back of the head.
Tired
I am in library. I have so man y studies to do that I shall do none of them . Let me look around in stead.
There are many lamps ~pringing out of the ceiling; each looks like a huge censor in the temple of a pagan god. Or at least that is probably what they would look like, but it is hard to conceive of pagan gods in library.
The drab colored book racks around the room are filled too neatly with threadbare, uninteresting looking books - books that seem uncomfortable and uneasy , as though the musty knowledge behind their battered covers is preparing to revolt at last, and to burst from the worn bindings in a mad helter-skelter of letters, words, frontispieces and diagrams.
There is a sort of perpetual rustling of papers and fluttering of leaves and scratching of pens - a dry, look-it~up-in-the-reference-books - library sound, vaguely reminiscent of elderly elders disapproving of mischievous boys who titter in church.
Behind the oaken desk, the librarian's assistant is pasting. Always , she seems to be pasting - as though condemned to a pasty purgatory. The odor of pa~te per-
meates the air so realistically and thoroughly that one is positively carried back to the "cut ;em out and stick 'em in" period.
Chai rs scrape discreetly on the floor - someone coughs - a noisy silence prevails - truly - a rubber-tipped paradise.
And the ,tudents? A few timid and harassed boys and girls numbly finger Rritannica or Who's Who. And the rest - some study, some seem to study - and others only look blankly bored.
An Old House Comes To Life
A huge gray stone house, the home of my great-grandmother who is still alive, stands on one of Omaha's highest hills. The house itself, its furnishings and its occupants tell of old friends, of quaint grandeur, and make one dream of gay parties and stately weddings.
My great-grandmother often tells of happenings that took place many, many years ago and gives vivid pictures of the joyous days this old house once knew. And there are other things in the house that tell me of long ago days. The huge square piano, made of ebony, is a reminder of the family's one musician, who now lives in anotner city. The grandfather's clock with its melodious chime sings of happy hours in better times; a small room filled with pictures of wedding parties, young men in uniforms and other people, bring memories of the past; the carved mahogany furniture and woodwork in the dining room, the rare old china, cut glass and silver are reminiscent of many grand feasts and merry-makings.
But with the passing years, time s have changed. Younger members of the large family have moved away or married, and older ones have died at various times. For many years the old house has seen very few entertainmentsJ none of them so elaborate or large as those of former years. The life of the household moves on qu:etly and uneventfully.
However, history repeated itself when on Christmas eve of 1927, once again the old house opened its massive doors to admi t many friends, both old and new. The great hallway with its panelled walls rang with happy voices; there was a clatter of feet upon the shiny stairs; the yellowed keys of the old piano sang once more. The beautiful old linen and long-unused china were set out on the dining table in preparation for the Christmas feast. Upstairs, young girls again posed before the large mirror in the hall. Their light feet ran over the worn carpet and their high heels clattered down the shiny stairs.
There was no need for memories; the whole house had come to life again.
Great-grandmother lit the yule log in the old stone fireplace which bears the inscription "O Ye Fire and Heat, Bless Ye the Lord". It has long been a family custom to light the Christmas fire each year with a piece of the yule log which has been saved from the year before. Oh, I hope there will be a thousand more gatherings in the old house! One can't really frve on only memories.
Youth Speaks
0 my Soul! Hear that you may know What vanishing delights are ours. Live! Because the youth will go And the fresh blossoms will be withered flower~. Quickly speed the arrow from the bowOh, sad that ecstacy should be ~easured into hours!
Jo y Night
Another joyous joy night - the fourth annual one - was held, in defiance of the fates, on Friday, April 13, and again on Saturday; and contrary to superstition, both performances were highly successful.
In a prologue prepared by the all girls league a circus crier urged everyone to come to the entertainment about to begin under the "big top" where a snake charmer, a dancing elephant and a strong woman were side show attractions.
The Show Boat, with Verne Fanton as the skipper, cast anchor for the evening, and offered diver t issement in the way of song and dance. Alfred Lee, no other than Sydney Pepple, sang a solo following several numbers by the senior boys quartet. A chorus of dancing girls was led by Dorothy McKenzie, who concluded with a clog dance. John Wink was the hard-working, black faced handy-man-around-the-boat.
A combination potato peeler and safety razor was fluently advertised by Meredith Nelson in a curtain act given by the Forum. This high-powered salesman "sold" his helpless friend Rastus, otherwise known as Elwood Thompson.
One of the cleverest and most ingenius acts of · the evening was a puppet show written and managed by Wentworth Fling. In this playlet, entitled A Pip e and a Smile, one marionette juggled balls and another executed a lively dance.
A rattling good skeleton dance by Frances French opened the G. A. A. act, in which Jean O'Hagan and Dallis Ma ycock performed as French dolls. Seventeen sailors di splayed their gymnastic powers by forming pyramids. As the conclusion of their stunt, they formed the letters L. H. S.
Humanizing history was the aim of the faculty act, a dramatization of The Jl,Jidnight Rid e of Paul Revere. The heroic Paul, none other than our principal, Will French, set out astride his tru ty steed (W. Harold Browne fore and Arvid Johnson a ft) to spread the alarm. The vigilance of th e· traffic cops caused him much con:ern. He held lightly all warnings of danger ahead until he was informed that Officer Gross was on duty in Concord, whereupon he thought it best to go home . Madelyn Brown represented home room 2q by a military clog dance given as a curtain act. W ·inning Ways of Grandma ' s Days were illustrated by the student club girls dressed in hoop skirts and pok~ bonnets They gossiped over their tea cups and danced a stately minuet.
A playlet entitled The End of the Rainbow was presented by the Mummers. Robert Garmire was the Pierrot who forsook his Pierrette, Alice Wi ·off, to go in search of the pot of gold. He discovered, however , that his companion was his real
treasure. Two xylophone numbers by Frank Wilson, a piano piece by Harold Peterson, and· a vocal solo by Morris Poa,ter made up A Versatile A ct which was much applauded. Electric torches which were twirled through the air simulated Fir e fl,ies, the name of the Hi-Y stunt. Half a dozen Arabian shieks displayed their talent in tumbling. They performed some rather remarkable feats, such as making fancy dive s and flips from a springboard. Porter Cannon, repre,enting the L club, gave, single handed, a playlet, Mince Pie. By donning a derby , he became the hero; a girl's gaudy straw hat made him the heroine; and the part of the villain was achieved by pulling on a small felt hat. Porter proved to be a real rapid-change artist.
The Fair, given by the junior glee clubs, concluded the program. Paul Miles played Joshua , the unfortunate farmer who was dominated by his wife, Miranda ( Gerald Wilkerson). A jazz orchestra conducted by Donald Abbott played a few numbers, and then accompanied Don Tucker and Henry Kellei:, who gave a clog dance. A quartet consisting of Carl Michel , George Green, Robert Teten and Forrest Spieler sang Ke11tuckJ 1 Blues. Evelyn and Lorraine Coffman sang A Shady Tree and A Tin Pan Parade. The grand finale, Come to the Fair , terminated the show.
Clouds
A bank of fairy clouds Piled deep in an opalescent sky. Fleecy white; they are shrouds For flowers that drooped; they did not die.
Flaming, crimson; the sun Stains each cloud, in passing hours, A million color s-every one With the glory of the flowers.
-Alice Geddes
China
Naked coolies sweating in the sun; Tarro\\", crooked street, , dirty and squalid, A sold:er marching by with a gun, Sickly peasants , thin and pallid.
But a purple pagoda is seen afarA meadow of white roses gleams in the light , A Chinese maiden, each eye a star Greets the fragrance of jasmine in the night.

Captain App l e j a ck
The burning desire of a young man for adventure formed the deep plot of the junior play, Captain Applejack. The part of Ambrose Applejohn was skilfully enacted by Verne Fanton. In trying to sell the old Applejohn home, the real estate agent advertises that it had once been inhabited by a notoriously wealthy pirate. Some crooks thereupon attempt to make a\\ ay with the treasure said to be hidden somewhere in the house. Despite his attempt to stay awake one night to waylay the crooks "·ho might come, Ambrose falls asleep. He dreams he is a daring pirate captain who successfully quells the mutiny of his crew and puts to death their leader. Ambrose awakes in time to foil the crooks' clever plans and to discover that the girl he loves is Poppy Faire. This part was played by Elizabeth Freeman. Leota Richardson shO\nd ability in playing the role of a Ru sian dancer who proved to be an accomplice of the crooks.

Football
"The greatest football season played by the greatest football team thus far claimed by Lincoln high school" was the praise bestowed upon the Red and Black gridsters of th e 1927 season. Factors which were responsible for the top heavy scores piled up by the Lincoln machine were the work of a backfield which · apparently slashed the tackles, plunged the line, and circled the ends for long gains at will, and the aid of a fighting line which provided gap:ng holes in the enemy's defense, and formed a barrier through which but two touchdowns were scored, both being made by the po"verful Waite high.
Working with clock-like precision, this team crumpled all its opponents, winning eight consecutive victories and with them the strongest claim to the mythical Nebraska state high school championship.
At the beginning of the season a difficult problem faced the squad as to who would fill the many vacancies left by the graduated players. However, the six letter men who had returned and the wealth of young giants from the second team striving for regular berths solved the problem. Realizing the task before them, the men of the squad drilled hard, charged the sled a little faster, and smashed the tackling dummy a little harder, thinking always of the coming games with Waite high, Omaha Tech, Grand Island and other strong opponents.
A muddy field, which was the scene of the opening game, played at Columbus, did not slow the attack of the Links, who started the season with a rush by pil ing up 26 points to the Discoverers' o . In the first five minutes of the battle the Red and Black team forced its way to a touchdown. Lincoln smashed across the goal line two more times during the first half. Throughout the second period the battle waxed hot, and although the Links scored another touchdown, they were actually outplayed by the Columbus youths who lacked on one occasion just the final scoring punch, when a counter by them appeared inevitable.
Because of the muddy playing field the true ability of the Lincoln gridsters remained unrevealed. They immediately settled down to strenuous training in preparation for the coming conflict with the highly touted Waite high of Toledo.
In one of the years greatest games Lincoln met the Zornmen, and after terrific battering back and forth, the fighting Links pulled out ahead 3 I to I 3. This score is a poor indication of the actual power of the Ohioans. Their hard, lowcharging backfield worried the home team considerably. Several -times they drove
their way deep into Lincoln terr:tory. The wcnderful ability of the Links, on the othr.r hand, to form perfect interference which consis t ently mowed dO\rn the opposing defense, was more than the young ea s terners were able to fathom The Lincoln forward wall charged so rapidly that the visitors were often downed in their tracks.
In the fourth quarter Waite launched a remarkable passing attack, worthy of a college team, and countered two touchdmrns before Lincoln realized what was happening. As the most strenuous, the hardest fought, and cleanest played game of the season the Waite game will be remembered by the Lincoln players. The boys from Toledo proved themselves to be sportsmen of t he highest order, and the Lincoln fans hope that future encounters may be held between the two teams.
The following week the young Brownies journeyed to the York battlefield. After meeting stubborn resistance during the first half the Links came back full force and completely routed the Yorksters. It marked the twenty-seventh ,\.ictory for Lincoln over York in as many meetings. Believing the junior Cornhuskers were overconfident because of the deci,ive defeats thev had dished out to former teams, Coach Gautch's men had planned to upset the dope bucket and take the second city boy s into camp. They rncceeded very well during the first half, allowing the Links to place the pig:: kin beh:n::1 their goal Ene but cn:e. Having pent their strength, the York eleven then weakened. The Links came back with blood in their eyes in the second half and scored a quartet of touchdowns , made possible by the whole Lincoln team funct:oning in perfect style.
Headed by Captain Stone, Crete made its first invasion of L:ncoln soil for a football contest The Links again met stiff opposition during the first half, but as before reached their stride in the second canto and piled up 38 points. Taking advantage of the sweltering heat the Brownies gradually wore down their opponents with battering line charges, breaking into brilliant end and open field runs. Crete remained in a fighting mood to the final whistle, however, and was a prickly threat throughout the game.
Beatrice next acted as host to the Lincoln eleven on October 29, and rereived a sound drubbing largely at the hands of the Lincoln shock troops which started and played most of the game . In the last minute of play the first str:ng was sent in and tallied two touchdowns, showing the powerful offensive which the Lincoln team possessed. Beatrice's backfield attempted to penetrate the Lincoln defense, but the effort was unsuccessful, for the Red and Black backfield ran amuck over and through the opposing team.
Omaha Tech was next to meet the ever victorious Links, who cu11t inued on their rampage, s:::oring three touchdowns in the last h:ilf after a scoreless opening canto . The giant Maroon forward wall baffied the Red and Black during the first half, but Lincoln came into its own early in the third quarter. Displaying the power of their clever offense, the Brownies retained almos t constant possession of the ball. In the second half when the Links always appear to be strongest, they amassed sixteen first downs to their opponents' four, reeling off over two hundred yards to their opponents' sixty.
In polishing off the Norfolk aggrega ti on, their next opponent, by a score of 59 to o, the team again displayed th e same powerful drive which had characterized its seven consecutive triumphs. The re~erves, who started the game and played all the first and third quarters, were far superior to the Torfolk representative . The regulars were n o t needed to roll up a large score, but they were given a good taste of action in order to be primed for the final game.
Lincoln had been pointing the entire season toward the final game which was to be played with Grand Island, the only stumbiing block of the '26 team. \Vith a determined spirit of revenge they swept the third city youths from the list of undefeated teams and clinched the mythical Nebraska state championship.
During the opening period the representatives of Grand Island forted the Links far back into their territory, and for the first time dur:ng the season the Red and
Black was fighting with its back to the wall. But the never-die spirit for which Lincoln football team are famous prevailed , and the Links fought their way for~ard, tur1;1ing the tide of battle. In the second half the visitors staged a brilliant line-plunging attack :\' hich caused concern in the Lincoln camp for a short time , but the rally was short lived. The final score was 26 to o in favor of the home team.
Football Schedule
Reserve Football
The first team understudies , commonly known as the scrubs, played a formidable schedule and handled it like ve t erans . The reserves placed second in the Greater Lincoln League st andings, having been defeated only by University Place ~nd then by a one-point margin.
Capta:ned by Joe Luchsinger, the seconds furnished opposition for the first te am during the practice sessions The "school of hard knocks" was the title bestowed upon them, because of the many bumps they receive from the first te am in these nightly scrimmages. It was always with a sigh of relief that a black-jerseyed player turned in his sui t a t the end of the season.
The reserves will all see plenty of service next fall , as only three of last years team men will return. These understudies are all trained by the same method as their older brothers , the fir st team men, so that the following fall they are well pr e• pared to step into the scarle t jeri ey s

He was j!raduated at mid-year, and dur ing the remainder of the season a squad composed entirely of ne,Y men was entrusted with protecting the honors of the Red and Black , previous state champions.
In the opening tussel, which was played with the York five, Lin coln met little oppos1t10n. The Red and Black forwards were too much for the Gautsch aggregation and rang the hoop for counters with surprising regularity for such an early season game. The Lincoln guards blanked York dur : ng the first half, allowing but one field goal to be chalked up. In the second half the Yorksters fared little better, for they made only three field goals and a free throw. The game , won bv the Links, was just a bracer for the conflict with the Abraham Lincoln team from Council Bluffs.
The outside bovs had little better luck than the Yorksters and were choked in the dust of a 23 to· I 8 tally. Grossman and Trott carried the brunt of the attack, scoring thirteen points. The visitors led 12 to IO at the half-way mark, but the Links found themselves as the last period progressed, and passed the visitors, keeping the lead to the end .
After successfully winning their first two home games, the Links invaded foreiim territory the following week-end. Benedict, the first to fall, presented the Red and Black cagers with a defense which was powerful during the initial period but which collaosed completely during the second half before the accurately-passing Links. Led by Trott in the scoring column, the Lincoln team appeared invincible ·The second and last destination for the week was Columbus, whose cage representatives were added to the string of Lincoln's vanquished. The Discoverers were able to tally but two free throws during the first half while Lincoln countered twelve points. Trott again led the attack with Koster and Townsend featuring in the defense. In the final canto, the hosts of Lincoln came to life and made eleven points, but the large margin rolled up by the visitors in the first half was more than could be overcome.
Crete, runners up in the '27 state tournament , had a veteran team playing, and was the next barrier for the Links to hurdle. Starting with a rush, the Cretans swept the Red and Black goal shooters from their feet in the opening chapter. Their veteran exper:ence was too much for the green Lincoln five, and Crete, holding its early gained lead, was ahead I 6 to I I at the final whistle. In the second half the home team out-scored their opponents. The game was largely a defensive conflict because of the small floor. The guards held the spotlight throughout the fray.
In a rouj!h and tumble tmsel on Friday the thirteenth, the Brownies, still burning from the Crete defeat, braced up and gave the Centralites from Omaha a sound drubbing. In the dying minutes of the contest several brilliant shots by the Links put them safely in the lead. Gish, playing forward, showed up in great shape and with six points was high point man of the game. Haulmaun of Central gave a good account of himself and closely followed Gish with five points.
On January 20 and 2 1 Lincoln again hit the trail, th :s time headed for Omaha to tackle Creighton Prep and the Omaha Tech quintets. In the Friday night game with Creighton, the Links displayed a clever brand of basketball. During the first half Lincoln ran roughshod over its opponents and chalked up a I 2 to 4 lead. In the third quarter the Prepsters came to life and scored six points, while the L=nks were able to rate but two. In the final period the Brownies resorted to a baffiing stalling game and forged ahead into a safe margin. Carveth with his towering height was the outstanding member of the Lincoln team, his six points helping very much in several tight pinches. The following evening Lincoln showed a reversal of form and was swamped under the Maroon tide of Tech. But one field goal was made by the Links
during the entire rnnflict and it came as a long floater by Koster made from the center of the floor in the opening quarter. The first quarter proved itself to be a battle and both teams rang the basket for five points each . In the second quarter Tech added four more to its list v,;hile the Links could manage to cage but two free throws. In the second half the Red and Black countered but two points. The Techsters making their efforts count, placed their tally at 17 points. This defeat was a bitter dose for the Links for it was the first one tasted by them from an Omaha team for several years.
The Browne men dropped a thrilling skirmish to the speedy University Place cagers by the heart-breaking score of 19 to 18. The game was very fast from start to finish but a rally by Baller's proteges was too much for the Brownies. It was the first game for Beany Witte and his aggressive tactics gave the Lincoln five a fighting spirit. The Methodists, who were keyed up for this game, scored, •the first six points. Trott put the Red and Black very much in the running by sinking two field goals, and "\Vittstruck followed with another to tie the score The Links had a four-point lead at the end of the half. In the second half the suburban team started as in the first and piled in four field goals, dazing the Links with their dazzling offense. This was too great an advantage and although Lincoln tied its opponents near the end of the game, they were unable to provide the winning punch and lost out by a one-point margin. •
A trip to Council Bluffs, the purpose of which was to meet Thomas Jefferson high school, turned out to be very successful as the Lincolnites returned home with the heavy side of an 18 to 9 score In the second half Coach Browne relieved his regulars and substituted freely in order to save his men for the game on the following night. Trott and Wittstruck did the best work for their team, with four points apiece.
Back on the home court the following night, Lincoln met its second defeat of the week and the fourth of the season in a disastrous tilt with the lanky and competent Grand Islanders. The visitors played far over the Links heads from star t to finish. The Brownies had the Lincoln fighting spirit, but this could not make up for the well polished attack of the third city team.
A dark cloud loomed over the Lincoln camp the following week as Omaha Tech and Crete were scheduled to invade the capital city. Crete was the first to arrive and with the Tech team witnessing the fray from the sidelines, took the Links into camp for the second time. The visitors had everything their own way the first half and commanded a large lead at the end of this period. In the second period the Lincolnites gradually worked themselves up to a fighting pitch, and in the last quarter appeared as possible victors when they staged a short lived rally. Crete stopped this by taking time out and giving the "hot" Links a chance to cool off . Batty was the important Lincoln man in the tilt. His guarding was conspicuously effective and he scored four points.
Lincoln dropped its fourth consecutive game the next night when the Maroon Techsters downed them 19 to 13. Lincoln, however, played its best game of the season in this defeat and established itself as a strong team. Tech scored the first four points but the Links crept up and were trailing but two points when the first half ended. As the third quarter closed, the Techsters still maintained a one-point lead. Shortly after Witte put the Browne men in the lead with a field goal but Tech, after taking time out, sank three dazers in succession from the middle of the floor. Boulter not only delivered the goods in a pinch, but was also largely responsible for the spirit which brought the Links near to victory after the cause seemed hopelessly lost. Witte also stood out, and with seven counters he tied with the Tech captain for high point honors.
Lincoln fan~, who were now becoming used to the taste of defeat, were not surprised when the Links dropped another game, this one to Central. Coach Browne
tried several different combinations in order to break through the Centralite's defense, but to no avail. During the first half both teams decided to play cautiously and the game was slow, but in the second half they came to life and the metropolis youths forged far into the lead. Batty ,ns the outstanding Lincoln plar e r; he was high scorer for the Red and Black and he displayed remarkable guarding ability.
The jinx of long standing was finally broken the following night when the Links defeated the Hastings Tigers, 16 to I 5. At one time the Brownies commanded an I I to 4 lead and it was thought th e game was cinched, but the Tigers came back ,Yith an offensive which soon gave the Lincoln team plenty to worry about. While the crowd was impatiently awaiting the blast of the final whistle, Hastings crept up until the Links ma:ntained but a one-point lead. At this juncture the Red and Black resorted to a deliberate stalling game a nd held the lead until the end.
The follo\\·ing week the Links sent the St. Joseph team home with the lmr end of a 24 to 20 score. The game was the most thrilling of the season, and the crowd was held in breathless suspense from start to finish. Trott led the Lincoln attack with 8 po:nts, and Batty and Townsend featured in the defense. YVith but four minutes left to play , the visitors boasted of a seven-point lead, but the Links ,nre not willinq; to b~ beaten, and with th e a id of free th rows and under basket shots bv Trott and Gross- · man, the game was tied at 20 all. In th e ex tra period the ice r~mained intact until the last forty-five seconds, when Batty came throu gh with a fairly long shot and placed the Links in the lead Grossman th en cinched the game bv adding t,rn more points just as the period ended. Good , the flashy St. Joseph captain, was the fire for his t eam and with I 3 points, also high point man of the fray.
Lincoln took the third consecutive game the next night when they easily downed the Omaha South, 36 to 13. Grossman was hot and it seemed that all that was necessary to make points was to give him the ball, and he would be sure to ring the hoop. He scored 18 points during the fray, more than anv indiv:dual player had scored in any one game during the year The conflict started slowly and th e Links could acquire but a 9 to 7 lead at the half, but in the final half they scored twenty-seven points to the packers' five.
•
This game ended the regular schedule for the Links. During the season Lincoln won eleven games and lost seven.
Cotner Tournament
In the first annual Cotner College tourn ame11t Lincoln placed second, losing in the finals to Crete. In the first round of play, Lincoln met and defeated Bethany , but in a hair raising game Crete again proved it self superior to the Links and won by a two-point margin after it looked like an apparent Lincoln victory As a reward for second place, the Lincoln players all received miniature silver ba sketballs to wear on their " ·atch cha in s, as well as the ball which ,ms used during the game.
State Tournament
In the first round of the Te braska state tourney , Lincoln , the former titl e holders , were snowed under by McCook, with a score of 19 to 16. This game was the biggest upset of the first round games and was a bitter pill for the Links to swallow . It appeared as if there was a magnet which drew the ball from the Lincoln basket , for time after time the Links missed set-up shots. The ball rolled about the hoop in a tantalizing manner and then lopped off on the outside. The game was not lost because the Links lacked the old fighting spirit, for they ,rere all over the floor at once.
St. Paul won the class A honors after upsetting Norfolk, Crete and Grand Island. The ne\\- Ie braska champions traveled to Chicago for the national tourney but lost two games straight. -141-

R es er v e Basketball
In their sphere of basketball competition, the Lincoln reserves earned their way to a very enviable record. They were able to olace onlv third in the Lincoln league standings, but in spite of this they knocked the Aggie high school from the lofty perch cf league leader s in the final game of the season.
Besides giving Un :ve rsity Place , the team whi ch vanquished the Lincoln first ttam, a bad scare on two occasions, the reserves forced Havelock to an extra period on the latter's court, but lost out in this chapter of the game. The team repeated the performance of the previous years ·reserves , defeating the Omaha seconds by a considerable margin. They also broke even on a pair of tilts with the Crete understudies.
Pat Gillette, the high scorer of the team, was very proficient at locating the hoop from all angles. Zeke vVinterhalter, who held down a center berth on the team, was graduated to a regular position on the first squad where his services proved to be a great aid. Alden Martin, flashy reserve guard, was given a position on the all league team and was an important factor in the reserve victories. The squad as a whole worked very smoothly and often gave the first stringers a good run for their money in the nightly scrimmage sessions.
As on the football team, these reserve players will have a chance to give an account of them£elves o n the first team next year, as only one man returns for the major team.

The squad revenged the basketball team to some degree by defeating the Omaha Techsters and Klein's Crete tracksters in dual events. In the initial meet of the season the squad lost out by a small score in the Hastings relays. As the season progressed, however, the ability of the men also progressed.
Robert Ste'n, c;aptain of the team, ,ns unable to participate this season because of his physician's order. He was reputed as being the fastest man on the team and his services were needed.

Baseball
Baseball, one of the sports rapidly developing in L:ncoln high school, presented a vigorous aspect during the past searnn. Coach Overman was somewhat handicapped by the lack of material, but the season's record was nevertheless creditable to the Red and Black. The games with Omaha Tech and with Central, pla yed in the metropolis, were the most important of the season. The Lincoln ball s luggers were also enrolled in the Greater Lincoln League.
Wrestling
Wre,tling promises to take a prominent place as a form of recreation and entertainment in the Lincoln camp within the next few years. This year the Links easily defeated the Aggies in a dual meet and placed second in the state wrestling tournament.
The Lincoln grapplers then faced the experienced bone crushers of Omaha Tech and lost a hard fought match. Tech, the most formidable team in Omaha, won ten consecutive meet, this year and holds the present city championship.
Under the direction of John Kellog, universit y wrestl:ng coach, a number of the wrestlers were tutored. These men gave a good account of themselves in the state meet, Theodore Kiesselbach taking first place in the heavyweight class. Adam Green placed second in the I 25 pound cla,s; among the I 35 pounders Ray Larson won second place, and in the lightweights Leo Ayers polled a seco nd place.

Basketball
Marian McLaren, speedy forward, was instrumental in bringing the juniors the championship in the girls interclass basketball tournament. However, without the excellent playing of the rest ot the junior team, Marian could have done little. The juniors played their first game with the sophomores and captured the long end of a I 6 to 6 score in a rather slow game.
When the third year class met the seniors, the fray promi i: ed to be a bit warmer, but the fast play;ng an::1 thorough teamwork of the jun:ors established t!ieir supremacy. Naida McLaren made most of the counters for the seniors, while her sister, Marian, led the champ:ons in scoring. The final score was 1 7 to I 3.
The seniors defeated the sophomores, making 22 points agaimt the 7 of the younger class.

L Girls
The cher:~hed ambition of every active G. A. A. member is to earn an L. Fifty points toward this honor are given for attending ten practices of any sport, or for hiking eighty miles during a semester. Six hundred points is the total number required for an L. Four hundred additional points win two stripes, and one hundred more an emblem, which is the highest award given . The se honors signify athletic ability, good sport,manship and fair play.
Six girls were awarded their letters in the athletic assembly held this fall. Mildred Gish , a basketball devotee and olympics star, Virginia Woolfolk, the senior's tavorite in hockey and soccer, Marian McLaren, a first-class athlete of the junior division, France~ French, senior track and swimming champion, and Kathleen Robinson and Dorothy Charleson, junior athletes of excellent standing, all received their L 's.
Several girls completed requirements for letters in the spring These were Bereniece Hoffman, Louise Geist, Irma Adkins, Marvel Stastney, Nancy Rife, Gladys Haagensen, Dorothy Proud fit, Naida McLaren, Helen Kaufman, Frieda Barnhardt, Jean Rathburn and Barbara Windham.
Always keen for field sport,, Bereniece Hoffman, senior, was leader in hockry and soccer. Loui se Geist and Naida McLaren, the older of the invin ci ble McLaren i, ters , ,rere active in basketball. Swimming brought Jean Rathburn, a fourth-year student, into prominence, while Dorothy Proudfit, a senior, preferred the Saturday hikes.
The juniors contributed three worthy players to the baseball field: Nancy Rife , Gladys Haagensen and Frieda Bernhardt, dexterous wielders of the bat. In the basketball contest for the 1928 interclass championship, the junior triumph was insured by the playing of Irma Adkins and Marvel Stastney.

Mixed Sport
A new diversion in the realm of after-school sports, termed "mixed sport", was introduced this fall. A variety of games was included in the program of this class. Nearly every time the class met, the girls played a different game. Magdalene Lebsack was the leader of the group.
Sometimes the girls played a modified form of football, rules for which were worked out by Miss Lillian Story and Miss Katherine Horner, who were in charge of this new sport.
Often the girls played soccrr and many times they took short walks. Some secti o n of Antelope Park was usually the goal of the trampers. They enjoyed the swings, slides and teeter-totters and liked to play games, but the principal attraction was the animals, which never fail to entertain.
As the autumn days drew to a close, basketball took the place of mixed sport and the other fall athletics.
Swimming
About fifteen mermaids took part in the swimm ing meet held in the high schoql pool, November IO Jane Foster won first place, carrying off honors in four events. Bettie Willson placed second and Virginia Foster third. Jane was first in the running front dive, and second in the 20-yard dash free style and the plunge for distance. She was also one of the winners in the class relay
Honors in the fancy diving contest went to Bettie Willson and Jean Speiser. Bettie placed first in the back dive and the 20-yard dash side stroke. Virginia Foster was another of the winners in the class relay and was first in the plunge for distance. For form in the trudgecn she placed second.
Miss Katherine Horner anj Miss Marie Snavely were the judges, and Miss Lilbn E. Story announcd the scores. •
About one hundred girls reported for after-school swimming practices held the first nine weeks of school. Miss Lillian E. Story had charge of the classes. She was assisted by Alice Randolph , Frances Turpin, Frances French , Bettie Willson, l\1ildred Richardson, Dorothy Charleson, Gertrude Holland and Frances Dowling.
Hiking and Skating
Any girl who tramps eighty miles a semester receives t-ift y points of G. A. A. cred ' t. Organized hikes, with Kathleen Robinson as leader, were held Frida y evenings or Saturday mornings throughout the year. Regardless of the weather, girls with knapsacks slung over their shoulders could be seen tramping along familiar highways. One day, returning from a walk , the girls went through Gooch's mill. At the close of this expedition, the guide served cake and cookies to the hungry pedestrians.
Some of the girls covered one hundred miles or over in one semester. The majority of them, however, averaged between sixty and seventy miles. A few of the expeditions were taken by moonlight, but most of them came on Saturday mornings and afternoons
G. A. A. points were also given for roller skating and ice skating. The roller skating season properly starts in the spring , but several girls earned credit in this sport during the winter. Although the season was not very long' this year, many earned points for ice skating. Dorothy Charleson was the leader of this sport.
Tennis
Tennis was such an attractive sport among the girls that Mrs. Cornelia Putney had to teach tennis classes four nights a week The practices were held on the municipal courts, because as yet the school has no tennis courts. Before learning the rules of the game, the girls practiced serving and handling a racket correctly. Many of them became excellent players in the course of these classes . ""

Soccer and Hockey
In the fall a young girl's fancy brightly turns to thoughts of the hockey otick and the soccer ball. About fifty girls came out for soccer, ,Yhich " ·as under the direction of Miss Lillian Story, and thirty-five for · hockey ,vith Miss Katherine Horner as coach. Gertrude Koolen was soccer leader and her assistants were Dorothy Thurlow and Frieda Bernhardt. In hocker, Bereniece Hoffman and Kathleen Robinson ,nre Magdalene Leb8ack's helpers.
At the end of an active season , tournaments were held in both of the8e sports. The soccer ccntest was completed first , and the juniors, victorious in this fray, suffered from a superiority complex which, however, ,ms properly crushed " hen their senior si8ters won the hocke y tournament.

MISS LILLIAN STORY
Miss Lillian E. Story is in charge of physical education for girls She ,ms graduated from Lincoln high school, and before her graduation from the University of l\ebraska she won her N, which signifies good sportsmanship and comme.ndable work in athletics. Miss Storr has done a great deal in furtherin g int erest in the G. A. A., and since she has been here the membership of the club has increased and more girls have taken an active interest in spo rt,.
MISS MARIE SNAVELY
Miss Marie Snavely is teaching physical education in Lincoln high school for the fir,t time. She was graduated from this school and from the University of Nebraska, where she was awarded an N in her sophomore year for exceptionally good work in sports. Many girls have become interested in track and dancing under Miss Snavely's expert d irect ic n.
MISS KATHERINE HORNER
Miss Katherine M. Horner came to the girls physical education department this year from the Kansas State Agricultural College. Miss Horner received there the purple K which adorns her white sweater. This letter is a symbol of di,tinctive work in athletics. She was graduated from the Emporia State Teachers College. She is particularly active in field sports and has aroused he interest of many others in this sort of recreation.

Track
Long before the beginning of the spring sports season, anyone who wandered into the gymnasium saw the jumping standards placed before several soft mats and many girls testing their skill at the high jump. This event is perhaps the most popular of those included in the track schedule. Broad jump , relays and other track events were temporarily forgotten. Then spring, with its long sunny days, brought regular track practice to the fore, with Miss E. Marie Snavely as instructor. Twice a week on the east field one could see girls clad in spring sport clothes running relay races, leaping across the sand-filled pit which was set aside for the broad jump, and taking part in the other track activities. These sports bring thoughts of olymp.ics, so many juniors and seni c rs \.v' ere kept busy training for participation in that great event.
Baseball
"The White Sox are running!"
ever would ~hat cry from the stands cau se a Lincoln high girl to glance ruefully at her hose, for here the girls , as well as the boys, are baseball-wise, if one can judge by the numbers that turned out for this sport last spring.
Vigorous workouts four nights a week were the means Miss Horner employed for getting the recruits into shape. These lively practices served to excite enthusiasm to such an extent and so to increase the batting average of the rival teams that it became necessary to hold a tournament, seniors versus juniors. Prospects seemed bright for both clubs when veteran players trotted out to the diamond. Junior fans cheered lustily as they saw Marion McLaren, Frieda Bernhardt, and Kathleen Robinson at the bat, while senior rooters rose from their seats as Louise Ge:st, Gertrude Koolen, and Mildred Gish took their places.
Frolics
At the close of each sport season, it has become the custom for the G. A. A. to ,ponsor a feast for all who participated in the sports of that season. There are usually three such enticing events during the year. The first was held in the gymnasium when fall athletics were discontinued. Frances Dowling and Rowena Bengston were in charge of the games and contests. Prizes were won by Frances Turpin and Frances French. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing. Wieners, apples and cocoa were served by the refreshment committee. Another fete was held after the basketball season. This and the spring sports frolic both took place out-of-doors.
Dancing
Dancing is a favorite after-school sport among the girls, both because of the actual enjoyment it offers and because of the benefits derived from it - good posture and a lithe, graceful body.
After school in the gymnasium one may see supple bodies swaying in unison to the crisp accompaniments of Miss Hazel O'Connor. In their many colored frocks, the girls form a veritable rainbow. These future ballet stars met twice during the week with Miss Marie Snavely to practice the steps and the positions of aesthetic dancing. During the first semester the beginners studied Grecian dances , while the advanced class whirled to a Russian ,hapsody. Frances French assisted Mi ss Snavely in teaching the beginning classes
C o n cess i o n s
The concess10n manager this year was Bereniece Hoffman, and Bereniece , ever with an eye for business, was not satisfied with selling candy at the football games only, as was the established practice. The girls sold at the basketball games, the swimming meets and during seco nd lunch. Selling candy during second lunch was very profitable since the girls gymnasium was open for dancing at that time , and the many girls who indulged in this recreation required candy, apples and peanuts from the concession stand in the lobb y.
At the end of each season, prizes were given to the girls who sold the most candy at the football and basketball games. For se lling at the football games, Frances French won first prize and Betty Freeman second. Kathleen Robinson won the prize at the close of the basketball seaso n

The girls hi gh jump went to Magdalene Lebsock and Virginia Woolfolk, se ni ors Magdalene eas il y won the girls broad jump, piling up more points in her favor. Both the girls and the boys tu g-a -w ar were won by the ,e n :ors.

OFFICE OF
DR. VAN B. SMITH Osteopathic Physician
LINCOLN , NEBR A SK A
Dr. George M. Laughlin, President, March Twenty-third, 1927.
Kirksville College of Osteopathy and Surgery, • ' Kirksville, Missouri.
Dear Dr. Laughlin:
In advising young men to consider the advantages of the osteopathic profession I speak from twentyfour years of experience.
The opportunities for a successful career in Osteopathy were never better than now. There is a crying need for more good osteopathic physicians in every community. Other professions are over crowded, wasting the time and lives cf at least half the men in their ranks.
The idle or unused time of an osteopath is reduced to a minimum. He is forced and paid to extend to the limit ~is activities, physical and mental, in a well balanced manner. This should prolong his working years far beyond the period of a modern business man's life.
In times of business depression, such as through which we have just been passing, when able men have been forced to part with the business and savings of a lifetime, the osteopath has swung through with no catastrophe to his business, no heart-breaking crisis in his affairs, and with only a slight shrinkage in his income.
The exceptional courses offered by our colleges give an unusual advantage to the osteopathic students, but to be a true success, it is necessary that one have a strong character and a pleasing personality, and be honest with himself and with his clientele.
Fraternally yours, S/W VAN
B. SMITH.

Many's the day I've dreamed of you, Sometimes it has seemed I should almo s t die Many are the times I've thought If you didn't come to my aid; How nice it would be if you were with me, Or when I see you could be with me , To help me exist when it's hot. If only my money I'd paid._
How often I sit all by myself, And think of this wonderful dream. Now you may learn for what I yearnOh for a dish of ice cream!

MOTHER GOOSE MADE EASY
A certain woman who felt heavily the weight of years and upon whom was placed the cognomen of Mother Hubbard once ventured into the immediate vicinity of a cubicle especially de,igned for the preservation of various foods in order that she might obtain for her domesticated carnivorous quadruped , species unknown, an ossified substance, called in everyday parlance a bone. •
But when this certain woman who felt heavily the weight of years, and upon whom was bestowed the cognomen of Mother Hubbard arrived in the immediate vicinity of the cubicle espec ially designed for the preservation of various foods , it was quite devoid of any food materials whatever.
So the domesticated carnivorous quadruped was forced to forego the pleasure of Aetcherizing and masticating the ossified substance, called in everyday parlance a bone, and the woman who felt heavily the weight of years and upon vvhom was bestowed the cognomen of Mother Hubbard was indeed extremely agitated and remorseful.

If all the hou~es turned to blue, And all the gra~s to pink; If daffodils had purple frills, What would this old world think?
Suppose the sidewalks were all bright green, And all the t ree leaves white; What would we do if this were true? And besides , if day were night?
\Vhat if there were no si ll y ones • To write such rhymes as this? Then all the folks would have no jokes, But live in solemn bliss.

If all the saxophones in the world were placed end to end at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean - we might have a little peace .
1 othing is so fatal to a wish as to have it granted.
An atavistic tendency in the modern youth crops up when he anoin t s himself with oil before state occasions.
The obviou s needs no defense.
