Lincoln High School 1934 Yearbook

I HE,___, INKS

Foreword

Between these covers lies in printed word and picture a period of life in Lincoln high school, placing within the grasp of those who made it live a memory that will not fade. The book is presented with the hope that the record has been set down with reasonable accuracy and completeness, and will prove to be not only a history of past events, but also a prophecy of future attainments.

Dedication

She is an inspiration and an ever present help not only to those who would fallow science but to all with whom .she comes in contact. Her personal interest in students, intol-erance of def eat and her unfailing patience have caused her to be respected and remembered. Because she greets student idiosyncrasies with complete understanding brought about by her natural in-sight combined with years of exper-ience as an instructor in Lincoln high, the 1934 Links is gratefully dedicated to Miss Mariel Gere, head of the science department.

M. C. Lefler

"Education must keep up with the changing times," says Mr. M. C. Lefler, superintendent of schools and recently elected chairman of the Nebraska educational planning commission of the Nebraska state teachers association. A man's life is the best exemplar of his own teaching and Mr. Lefler's constructive influence is felt in the kaleidoscopic changes in the educational policies in the Lincoln schools.

H. C. Mardis

A new and distinctly cosmopolitan honor has been conferred upon H. C. Mardis, principal of Lincoln high school, during the last year. He has been elected president of the Kiwanis club, one of the leading civic organizations of Lincoln. We congratulate him upon this distinc, tion and say in our turn that to be respected and admired by the students of the school of which he is principal is also no small honor .

Miss Olivia Pound is the girls adviser and as istant principal. Her office is a mecca for girls seeking advice or information . She is always sympathetic and interested in every girl's problem, whether it is a curricular change or search for employment. In Lincoln high for many years she has guided the footstep of hundreds of high school girls.

Olivia M . Pound

For the first time in an office completely his own, Mr. Otto W. Hackman, assistant principal and adviser to boys, has advi ed and disciplined much as before, except for his changed surroundings. It is quite safe to say that Mr Hackman knows more boys than anyone else in school and is in the closest touch with the problems which confront the masculine students.

To the School

We of the class of 1934 are leaving behind us what to man y constitute the happiest years of our lives. Many of us step forth from this high school immediately into the turmoil of life ; others, more fortunate, will spend the next few years in some university or college, preparing for a profession or whatever future lie s ahead of them. Lincoln high school has meant to us something that cannot be put into words. We have made friendships here that will be invaluable to us in later life; we have worked, we have pla yed; we have laughed , we have cried; some have studied while others played ; some have laughed while others have cried; some have loved while others have been alone; we have spent , most of us, these last three years with nothing more serious to worry about than the next day's history assignment. We have had a great deal to say about how glad we'd be to get out of this place, but when it comes right down to leaving, when we realize that we leave hosts of friends here, perhaps never to meet again , there is a curious catch in our throats , a v ague, empty throbbing of our hearts, and our [ 23]

sight is dimmed by a susp1c10us mist. Regardless of what has happened , nearly all of us can look back in the future, on our high school careers and truthfully say, "It was glorious , it was fun , even if we didn't appreciate it then." And so , Lincoln high, the best of good luck and may we meet again.

The Corridors

The hall is seldom quiet , The sound of band instruments , First tuning, then playing, Combine to produce music. The steady click of the lockers

As the locker guard making his round Turns each knob,

• The muffled throb of machinery From the shops, changing Into a roar as the door Into the hall is opened.

Now and then a whistle Resounds along the corridor , Or, perhaps the light tap Of a girl ' s high-heeled shoes.

In the winter the radiators

Sigh and pant , In the spring, fresh, cool Breezes swirl up and down the hall

Gathering paper, chips and dust

In their wake.

Then, a moment of quiet, Machinery has stopped, Band instruments are put away, The clock gives a soft

But audible click

The bell rings

Pupils surge.

DOUGLAS DORT

Class History

Came the dawn one cool September morn in 1931, and seven hundred and eighty wide-eyed sophomores began to trudge through the doors and down the halls of Lincoln high chool along with a paltry thousand juniors and seniors. The only noticeable difference in appearance between them was the facial expression; we sophomores with determined looks and furrowed brows were the only ones who seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation.

For several days this illusion continued, and clutching English, biology and math books, also numerous pencils, erasers and pens, we hurried about with the dire intent of finding that library. When room numbers, football stars and misunderstood assignments ceased to follow us in our dreams, ·we relaxed a trifle and were suddenly aware of our class sponsors ( who have been present, prayerful and watchful ever since) in the persons of Miss Elsie Rokahr and Miss Emma Beekmann.

After the passage of some time we began to draw deep breaths again and lose that look of "sophomori h" awe which even the bravest possesses, and in a quiet moment we elected Louise Magee and Zeno Jones to represent the class of 1934 in the student council; Robert Ayres, class president; Marvin Plock, vice-president; Don Jensen, secretary; Omey Lovell, treasurer; Lawrence Lansing, editor and William Kuiper, sergeant-at-arms.

The second semester we elected Zeno Jones, president; Robert Ayres, vice-president; Paul Amen, sec retary and Louise Magee, treasurer, after which we hurried as quickly as possible from our lowly sophomore state into that of junior.

In this exalted position, our presence became really felt as William Kuiper, John Saunders, Marvin Pl ock, P a ul Amen and other aspirants exhib ited remark a ble j unior prowess in various athleti c circl es. Our class officer were chosen, as 1s the a ge-r ipened cust om , and after the ballots were count ed , Don Jensen w as chosen president, P aul Amen , , ic e-pres ident an d Ja ne Holland and Gene Mette e, ,, , reta ry and tre a ure r respectively.

To gu · us through th e tria ls and tribulations

of the junior play and the olympics we chose Robert Martz and as his colleagues Jane Holland, Marvin Plock and Elizabeth eely as the vice-president, ecretary and treasurer. They attempted to serve not only as dignified heads of the class but as little pillars of strength for the class spon ors who by this time had begun to show the strain. The play Billy was an uproarious success and with Kenneth Myers in the leading role as the erstwhile football hero the audience shook the chandeliers as he searched lispingly for his elusive false teeth, on shipboard with his lady love, Roberta Morgan, bewildered and upset, hovering in the background.

ow for one of the high lights of our career, a feat which should place the class of I 934 in the annals of history. We stepped into the top spot. Everybody up! On May 12, 1933, the tradition al olympics was entered into with considerable spirit by some hilariou.s heathen, their faces painted red and black (namely the seniors and juniors). Anyway, to make a short story emphatic, when we had dug the mud out of our eyes, we found the score 75-45 in favor of the juniors! This was a big gold star on our record !

Those of us who had taken all the scholastic hurdles so far came into the home stretch September

18, 1933. It was the beginning of the end. On the senior color day, November 9, our colors, turquoise blue and pale yellow (yes, that was pale yellow, you skeptics) were flaunted all day long in front of the species called "juniors" and "sophomores."

A light opera palm read, danced and sang itself to a truly gypsy finish with Flora Albin doing the palm reading, Camille Kokesch the dancing, a chorus in gypsy costumes, the Romany songs. Last but decidedly not least ( in volume anyway) the entire cla.,s sang our class song written by Perry Beach and directed by Elizabeth Van Horne.

The luck of Erin was with us when we put Peg o' My Heart on the pedestal as our final dramatic offering to the school, for Flora Albin as the roguish, lovable Peg captivated the entire audience with her winsome portrayal. So, with a flourish we rang down the curtain on our dramas after a capable cast had given the memorable play their very best.

At the head of those who were to depart midst wintry snow and ice ( the January class) were chosen Marvin Plock, president; Karrol Kirby, vice-president; Walter Stroud, secretary; Marvin Griswold, treasurer. Those of us who were to remain till ice cream co n es took the center of the stage, selected for president, Charles Hodge; vicepresident, Elizabeth Neely; Betsy Allen, secretary and as treasurer, Howard Richards.

After a long uphill struggle one hundred and seventy-five of our number were projected into the waiting world on January 26, 1934. Raymond Baars and Vera W ekesser as commencement speakers gave the final orations for the departing seniors.

With the school year waning slowly through February, the month of lost galoshes and colds, we

paused in our flight to do some final vote casting. Jane Holland , as president and Bets y Allen, Elizabeth eely and Howard Richards as vice-president, secretary and treasurer were chosen to take us over the top in high.

March saw the climax of a successful basketball season with the winning of the state championship. This month also saw several seniors with splendid performances to their credit throw the ball through the hoop for the last time for Lincoln high, after which the basketballs joined the moth balls again.

April 10, ninety-eight seniors were elected to the national honor society and f~ted in an assembly. Pat Ash was elected president of the group. Other officers were vice-president, Bi shop Toms; secretarytreasurer , Kathryn Adams.

No senior themes! Faces relaxed and brows cleared as the seniors digested that startling news. Try-outs for senior speakership honors were held in a new way and from them Gwen Williams and Bishop Toms came out victorious.

May day came and went with the usual flurry of "Did you get any May baskets?" But one notice s such things less and less as one grows older.

The Shrine country club on May 4 became the locale for the greater part of the class, sporting ( along with their best bib and tucker) blue and yellow paper hats. In simpler language it was the final social fling, the senior party.

The time is short and because of a slight matter of going to press this history must be concluded here. It is finished and the class of 1934 has written its last words on the paper of experience with the pen of errors but when the ink dries that which remains will perhaps show that the three years of toil to learn have not been in vain.

To be a class spo nsor is t o be tried in fire; t he fire of class plays, committees, olympics, assemblies and other less visible matters. From the blaze Miss Elsie Rokahr has come unscathed. Her patience in deali n g wi t h the n umerous problems which confro n ted us during our three year search for knowledge and her good humored greeting of any and all compl ications have made her doubly deserving of the thanks proferred herein by the class of 193-1-.

Senior Sponsors

Talking to Miss Emma Beekmann, one could never tell by the immediate cheerful interest in her voice and the accompanying pleasant smile that the weight of a class was on her shoulders. But throughout the high school careers of some seven hundred seniors she has been an invaluable adviser not only in t he business of the class as a \, hole, but in the ·individual problems of the students Her genuine concern over the se affairs and her good humor have endeared her to those who now ask her to accept their sincere gratitude.

Among wintry blasts and snow and ice they went hence, one hundred and eighty of them, the "other half" of the class of 1934. The look of superiority ,,·hich they have may probably be attributed to the fact that they got out one jump ahead of the June class.

Qu e en of the May

I walk upon a cloth of gold Spread out there just for me, And all the world's a picture that Was made for me to see.

I sit upon a soft green throne , All studded round with pearls, And watch the dance of water As it dashes, bows and swirls.

I have a troup of dancing girlsThe \villows, graceful, shy. They swing their floating draperies And murmuring, pass me by. My songsters are the bluebirds, who Perform an aria gayMy jesters are the rabbits and The squirrels that romp all day

Yes, I'm a queen, and best of all It 's not "just for a day," For there's the world and here am I And right now , it is May.

Junior Class Office rs

They are the juniors! One of their notable achievements was Tlze Queen's Husband produced this year as the junior play. The comedy literally brought down the house when the plaster fell during a bombardment of the royal precincts.

After making a creditable choice of class ring and colors they feel rather proud of themselves and after trying out the phrase "class of '35" they seem to feel distinguished enough to follow in the seniors' footsteps.

The greatness which is self-inflicted upon the very young is evident in the yo uth in our midstthe sophomores. Hanging happily over the fence at the olympics, they wish audibly for the time when they may participate in that glorious struggle ( poor misguided dears-ignorance is bliss). They attend in a body the party, held each year under the auspices of the student council, which is the crowning sophomore event and exclusively their own.

Many of the maids who wear Locks of fair golden hue When asked if they're really theirs Always answer, "Yes," and swear That they're all their own and I no longer doubt their word, For I've seen one of the "fair" Pay for making her so.

Publications

Editori al

The eighteenth volume of the Links has made a few departures from the usual and ha embarked upon the unconventional, especially in respect to the treatment of the senior pictures and other photography in the book. All panels and pictures have followed the modern trend in running off the pages without margin.

The division pages with their characteristic right hand policy and the other art work throughout the book are the product of the art department under the direction of Miss Helen Wilson and Miss Gladys Dana. Loren Jack on is respon ible for the lettering on the division pages and on the title page.

The snapshots and view of the school u ed in the Links are largely the work of the newly-organized camera club, directed by Mr. Morrison. Mr. Ames and Kenneth Myer contributed several pictures taken during the first semester. Some were al o accepted from the students taken on naphot day.

The taff appreciates the time which Miss Edna Williams and other of the office force have devoted to presenting information necessary to the completion of the annual.

Richard DeBrown has assisted materially by writing pieces for the debate organizations and publication sections. Edwin Maxey helped in preparing the debate article.

For limericks in the adverti ing pages the humor editor is grateful for assistance from George Anna Lehr, Jame Hammond, Robert Martz and Edwin Maxey.

To Mr. H. C. Mardis for his invaluable help a adviser and champion in matters of makeup and determining other policies which could not be at-

tempted without his sanction, the Link board extend their thanks.

Because the group pictures were made in our own campu tudio, room 326, for the first time, the neces ity of taking some of the picture during school hours cau ed sponsors of several organizations extra work . For this con ideration the staff is most appreciative also to all the teachers for tolerating inconveniences caused by the work.

The Links took another step in photography this year. Senior pictures, instead of being made by one photographer a has been the cu tom, were taken by fourteen photographers. This wa decided upon last emester so that tho e agreeing to the regulation could take senior pictures. Dividing the work speeded it up considerably and also seemed to suit the students as they could choose the photographer whom they wished to patronize.

The cover, designed by Burdette Morton, is contructed with the ame right hand policy as the division sheets. The design was elected by a conte t in which twenty-six cover patterns were submitted.

Janet Lau has served diligently compiling lists and helping the regular staff in typewriting.

May it be remembered that it is the students who make the yearbook in collaboration with the staff.

The school at large is the source of the material and to the staff falls the task of chronicling the football game , debates, music contest and dramatic events which would be impossible but for the actual participation of the student body.

It ha been a privilege and a pleasure to assemble this record and it is the earnest desire of all those who have helped to have offered the be t possible yearbook during the time of reconstruction and innovation when it is published.

Handling material for a book which involves over three thousand dollars in the publishing, the Links board and staff members fashion the annual of Lincoln high school. It is assembled by the board from the "copy" submitted by the staff. The united efforts of these persons plus the skilled photography and art work place a thoroughly characteristic year book in student hands the first of June.

Without the Links advertising staff, exertion of the editorial department would be greatly curtailed. Through the advertising secured by this group the book is in large part financed and published. The advertising manager, who is chosen because he has chalked up the largest number of sales, always gains his place through real endeavor. This year Helen Flansburg won the coveted position.

The Advocate

Recording in CO!ilcrete form the news of the preceding week, the Advocate, Lincoln high's newspaper, gives the students a complete and vivid summary of school events. The paper makes its appearance every Wednesday morning, providing a high light in the week. Class elections, sport news, club activities and features of every conceivable nature are "covered" by the reporters and are

written in the accepted style of the press. In order to give many pupils an insight into the responsibilities of a newspaper staff there is an entire change in the editorial personnel each semester. Although the paper does not correspond precisely with professional journalism, it instigates a desire for future study and work in this challenging subject.

The Scribe

With an ever increasing body of interested readers which in 1933 reached a total of 4-00 and with a fame extending out into the state, the Scribe, in its fourth year of publication, has firmly established itself in the life of Lincoln high. Published by the writers club, the book, which comes out every December, comprises short stories, verse and ballads contributed throughout the year by the student body. Strictly a "home product", the Scribe has grown from a small pamphlet to a good sized volume, attractively illustrated by the art department and printed in the school's own print shop.

The staff, selected from the members of the writers club, not only judges and edits submitted material, but handles the business, advertising and circulation, taking complete responsibility for publication with such efficiency that the Scribe has never had a deficit, always at least paying expemes if not actually showing a profit.

Style Card

Based on a careful survey of the present practice in the best magazines and newspapers, the Lincoln high school style card presents in compact form the accepted practice of the school in composition work. While making no pretension to completeness or finality, the booklet contains a brief collection of accepted words and letter forms and terms valuable to a writer of high school articles. The style card is revised at frequent intervals and presented to every student in the school for use during his high school career. Under the direction of a committee from the English department, the latest rev1s10ns came off the high schoql press in May.

Red and Black Handbook

The revised Red and Black handbook, designed to present to new pupils the many and varied opportunities of the school, to serve as a guide to all pupils and teachers in the every-day administration of school affairs and to furnish information about the school and its interests to parents and friends, is an invaluable source of knowledge. Containing pages devoted to courses and credits, school standards of practice, constitution, clubs, floor plans, publications, records of extra-curricular activities, school events, standards of practice for parties, athletics, school songs and yells, the handbook is priced within the reach of every student In it may be found a brief resume of practically any school subject on which a person would wish information. It is published under the direction of the student council and is printed by the Lincoln high school print shop.

Activities

In trod ucti on

The clubs of Lincoln high adjust themselves to the changing interests of its students. Outgrown ones disappear and new ones are chartered for fresh fields of activity, This year has seen the advent of a camera club, a cartoon club , a graphic arts club and a sophomore music club, while two others are at least temporarily inactive.

Clubs for sophomores only are an innovation of the past two yea rs. They enable the new students to take an active part in the programs of the club, since in an organization for all classes more consideration must necessarily be given to the upperclassmen. By taking care of the basic principles of their respective fields, the sophomore clubs make it possible for the older clubs to include higher branches of the art.

Among the clubs promoting different phases of artistic activity are the Orpheons and its sophomore counterpart, Clef, in music, the Mummers and Mimes in dramatics, the Forum in public speaking, the writers club and the art club. The Hi-Y and Girl Reserves are primarily clubs of fellowship. The commercial club and Round Table are clubs of vocational interest. The chemistry , cartoon, home economics, graphic arts , camera and Radiolinks clubs are essentially avocational or hobby groups.

Both knowledge and experience are necessary for skill in photography , and it is the purpose of the camera club to guide its members in this field. Instructive talks are given at the bi-weekly meetings on such subjects as the construction of the camera and technique necessary t <2 obtain a well rounded picture. Every week, technical meetings are held in which pictures are actually developed, printed and enlarged. Some members even do their own retouching and tinting. The meetings are open to all teachers and students interested in photography.

The cartoon club, one of the few clubs organized this year, is composed of an informal group of students interested in the art of cartooning. At the meetings, over which the members alternately preside, the students draw or hear talks about the life and works of renowned cartoonists.

The graphic arts club provides a source of information for students interested in printing. It is a new organization, having been founded the latter part of this year. The meetings have consisted of trips to different printing establishments and speeches on various phases of printing.

The primary interest of the Radiolinks is the study of amateur radio The meetings often take the form of trips to commercial broadcasting stations as well as to local amateur stations. Several members operate their own stations and communicate with all parts of the United States and some foreign countries In preparation for the examination for radio operator's license, some time is spent in practicing the Morse code and in studying the radio laws.

The sophomore music club was organized this spring with a membership of thirty , under the sponsorship of Miss Florence Jenkins and William G. Tempel. Its purpose is much the same as that of the Orpheons , but the limitation of membership to sophomores gives the members a better opportunit y for activity.

Student Council

From the clo sely filled calendar of the student council, the sponsorship of joy night shines brightl y in contrast to the important but less spectacular duties connected with student participation in government which occupy much of the time of this group This organization also keeps the point system up to date and publishes a new handbook vvhen the current one becomes outm o ded.

Desire for membership in the national honor society stimulates student interest in good scholarship and maintenance of high standards of character. The faculty of Lincoln high, selecting approximately fifteen per cent from each graduating class from the students ranking in the upper third in scholarship , consider s serv ice to the scho o l , leadership , initiati ve , cooper ation a nd lo yalt y to the school in selecting the member

This year the national honor soc iety became a permanent organization, electing not only 1934 seniors , but the upper five per cent of the January, 1935 , class. In former ye ars this society was purely an honor group, elected a few weeks before graduation, and no attempt was made to have a continuous membership. Under the new system of choic~,

members are self-appointed by their own cumulative records. Every event of their careers has been mirrored in the report upon which the faculty passes as a reviewing committee. Several meetings were held and definite plans, submitted by all of t he club members, were made for encouraging scholarship and leadership in the school.

The home room representatives, chosen by the home rooms to work with the student council in directing student affairs, have set out to make a name of their own this year. Concerned with cor1ecting the condition of the corridors during lunch periods, certain repre entatives volunteered to patrol the halls during different periods, and the amount of paper on the floors was soon materially decreased.

The representatives also take subscriptions for the school paper, collect cla s dues and distribute school announcement It is the duty of the delegate to give his home room an account of each meeting and to pre ent any controver ial topics for discu sion. The resulting opinions of the student body are thus collected and considered.

Besides the regular bi-weekly meetings, the members engage in picnics, hikes, skating parties, tennis and other ou t door games.

Art Club

The aim of the art club is to see that members are aided by experiences of other in the same fields. During the past year the entertainment ha consi ted of talks given on land cape painting, the deigning of styles and costumes, paintings in oils or water colors, the making of block cuts and etchings and the variou phase of commercial art.

The chemistry club i m reality a club of scientific research, but it is open to anyone intere ted in chemistry. Disbanded in the spring, it is not reorganized in the fall except by student request. However, it has weathered the gale when many other clubs have gone under. Each year demonstrations, usually by univer ity profe ors, are given on liquid air, agriculture and explosives.

The Mimes is a dramatic club in which membership is restricted to sophomores. Several committees in turn arrange for the meetings at which speeches, short plays and variety acts hold the stage. The majority of these are planned and presented by the students. Following the example of its colleague, the Mummers, this club usually gives an assembly play each semester.

The duties of the social worker in the elimination of poverty, war and crime have been presented by numerous speakers who are acquainted with conditions in Lincoln.

The Mummers

The dramatic eason of Lincoln high is ushered in by the Mummer annual play. This year an exceptionally fine production of Green Stockings was presented. Featured in the meetings are short plays, directed and acted by the members and talks on such branches of the dramatic field as make-up, tage lighting, notable actors, play-wrights and recent plays. Following their customary procedure

of pre enting a short play for the assembly, the Mummers gave Hall and Middlemass' dynamic one-act play, The Valiant, which depicted the last remaining earthly hours of a condemned prisoner. This club is the visible beginning for many who later become members of the University Players and in a few instances enter some branch of profe siona1 dramatics.

Writers Club

Everyone has felt at some time the impulse to write. The writers club offers a splendid means of developing this talent for those whom it really interests. In the meetings, stories and poems, written by members of the club, are read. One of the main features of the club is the annual publication of the Scribe. The club always gives an assembly and this year a student dramatization of Gouverneur

Morris' The Despoiler was presented. Founded in 1918, the writers club was the first of the new organizations in Lincoln high. It had, at that time, a restricted membership of fifty. With a present membership of seventy-five and a lengthy waiting list, the writers is now one of the major clubs in Lincoln high.

The Orpheons, believing that proficiency as a musician may be obtained only through practice and experience in performing, helps its members to attain this skill by encouraging the study of good music and by giving each one an opportunity to demonstrate his ability each semester. The meetings never lack interest, since they include not only meal and instrumental solos, but also such ensemble

groups as the girls octet, string quartet and woodwind quintet. Former followers of Orpheus often return to entertain the group and to provide stimulus for young and untried musicians. A musical assembly presented each semester, monthly vesper concerts and the opera are among the important events sponsored by the Orpheons.

Dust

Like a pale dark shroud the dust descends

Draping the world with thin dusky veils.

The moon is a dim icy pool

Gleaming cold and still through the mists Of dirt.

Trees become monsters

Waving arms and moaning into the night

Like lost souls.

Huge vague shapes loom through the darkness,

Menacing ghosts.

Lights peer through the dust-filled air, Small white eyes.

Dust swirls and eddies about

Drifting.

People seeking shelter from the rage

The hollows of their faces filled with gnme Are deathly.

And everywhere 1s the dust.

Debate Tea m

Debate , one of the oldest act1v1t1es of Lincoln high, has gained popularity by leaps and bounds in the last few years and shows great promise of becoming a leading activity in the future, as fiftythree students have applied for advanced debate next year.

Under the leadership of Gerald Kvasnicka one hundred forty-five students participated in organized debate this year, and fifty-six debaters took part in the interclass debate as compared with thirty-two for the previous year.

The idea of debate assemblies was an innovation this year. In one a team debate was judged by the entire assembly who voted by ballot. This type of discussion contest is growing more popular and the cool, clear-thinking debate is fast replacing the fiery libel-slinging type. The great interest in

this assembly resulted in the presentation of the final round in the interclass debate before another assembly audience. The junior winners, Leo Turkel and Hyme Polsky, claimed the tournament by defeating the sophomore victors, Clinton Sturdevant and Clifford Sturdevant. The senior winners, Rosalyn Lashinsky and Herbert Clark, had been previously defeated. This year for the first time the names of the winners were inscribed on a cup.

In the state debate contest held this year, Lincoln high was represented by Bishop Toms, Forrest Blood, Bruce Grant and Charles Campbell. Although the team failed to place in the tournament, they otherwise enjoyed a successful season. Of the sixty-seven debates in which the Lincoln arguers participated this year , forty-seven were no-decision debates , nine were lost and twelve won.

Assemblies

Whether the program includes a missionary from some far country or a dramatic effort from our own midst, the assembly, a pause in the day's routine, is inevitably anticipated.

The following, a review of programs of the yeai-, should restore to the student's mind the ceremony, if enjoyable; the speaker's views, if they proved adaptable; or the know ledge acquired if the entertainment was of an educational trend

M. C. Lefler, superintendent of the Lincoln schools, initiated the season October 4 with a talk on the topic, Peace Be Still. "This phrase can spell magic," Mr. Lefler asserted, "and if properly adapted, is capable of being beneficial in man y situations."

The second assembly of the year featured 0. H Bimson, assistant superintendent of schools, who delivered an address on Short Cuts on October 5. His classification of them included those helpful and those detrimental. In the first group would fall the numerous alphabetical classes so prevalent at the time, in the other one, the actions of restless youths , who, in a rush to get to their destination, break all speed limits.

Deploring the vast amount of money wasted through destruction by fires, Captain A. R. Ferris of the Lincoln fire department delivered his yearly message to the high school on October 12. His was not a laboriously written speech but a steady flow of terse facts illustrating his topic. Touches of humor interspersed through his talk made it the more entertaining.

Dr. Paul Harris, on October 25, as a representative of the National Council for the Prevention of War, illustrated his thought-provoking talk by relating some experiences he had in the World ·w-ar area. With the belief that war cannot be prevented by the preparation for it, Dr. Harris readily denounced the manufacturers of ammunition. The address appealed so strongly to the first assembly group that he was asked to present his views again in the afternoon.

Dr. F. M. Fling on November 9 gave a masterly analysis of the World war debt question. Aided by profusely illustrated map s, the professor made a challenging array of present da y facts. The contrast between his and Dr. Harri s' opinions gave vent to controversies throughout th e school.

Mother Goos/characters sought recognition November I 7. For school color d ay, the old woman who won fame because of her man y children and her one shoe, Jack and Jill, and two gingerbread

men presented the program. The five and twenty blackbirds, girl choristers, also disclosed talents a, football elevens by parodying the approaching Omaha Central-Lincoln conflict. Red and Black prevailed as fashionable hues of the day.

India of today was the theme of the dynamic speech given to both assemblies November 21 and 22 by Miss Lillian L. Picken, who for the past nineteen years has been vitally interested in missionary work in India Surrounded by gorgeous handwoven Indian fabrics, Miss Picken told of the problems .of the missionaries, the tragic living conditions of the lower Indian castes, far-flung governmental units and of the scarcity of food and money in that country.

Twenty-four first team football men received L's, and William Kuiper was announced as honorary captain for the previous season at the pigskin awards assembly on November 28, at which Coach Baller made the presentations.

Girls arrayed in turquoise blue and gold turbans and boys adorned with sashes in the gypsy mode made their appearance on November 29, senior color day. They were the audience in whose honor The

Fortune Teller, a light opera, composed by a class member , was presented. Flora Albin, as the forecaster of fortunes , peered into the future to foretell events in the lives of the January graduating class.

Tableaux vivants vividly depicted scenes of the nativity at the Christmas musicale on December 21. Adding to the impressiveness of the presentation, the choir seated in the balcony, accompanied the changing pictures which through the diffused glow of soft spotlights, brought a breath-taking intangibility. Elizabeth reely and Bernard Dalton were the soloists.

Although last, the assembly for scholarship awards, given January 12 , was numbered among the important events of the first semester. Wentworth Fling, ' 28, and Faith Arnold, '32, returned to their alma mater to speak before the January national honor society assembly. Mr. Fling told of his European travels and Miss Arnold related an unusual experience which happened to her in Sicily. Twenty-seven January graduates-to-be received certificates to membership in the society.

The Rev. Ervin Inglis paid especial tribute on February I 5 to versatile Albert Schweitzer as he told of the famous organist who has been a missionary, professor, doctor of medicine and a collector of Bach concertos. The minister's enthusiasm was so great that listeners went to classes with an extremely clear word-portrait of this ingenious man.

The Despoiler, a student one-act dramatization of Gouverneur Morris' short story, was presented March 14 by a cast of writers club members. Aside from the literary ability attributed to them, the group capably displayed dramatic adeptness.

Dana X. Bible, University of Nebraska athletic mentor, praised the Lincoln high basketball squad's seasonal history on March 20 when the L's were bestowed upon those· of the team meriting them.

A forest - a hunter - and a rabbit were the characters before the spotlight on March 22 when the Templars, Russell Gilman , Donald Jackson, Alfred Ryder, William Miller and Paul LeBar, accompanist, enacted the drama The Three Trees and other light songs. Especially well received by the onlookers was There's a Hole in the Doughnut

A prison interior gave the background to the Mummers' theatrical exhibit, The Valiant, given on March 26. Al~hough a play embodying pathos and almost intolerable suspense, it was skillfullr presented by the dramatic aspirants.

Tational athletic scholarship association honors and sw imming letter s were presented to the aquatic stars at the hands of Harold Lauritsen, head of the department of physical training, on April 6.

Ninety seniors received national honor society membership on April 17. Twelve of them , January 1935 graduates, were named to give continuity to the organization in the fall semester. This newly employed system of selecting five per cent of the 12B class each se mester was explained to the school for the first time by Mr. Mardis before he presented the certificates.

Hyme Polsky and Leo Turkel, juniors, won the interclass debate finals from Clinton and Clifford Sturdevant, sophomores, on April I 9. "Resolved, that the United States enact legislation to prevent

the accumulation of large fortunes by certain families," was the topic under fire.

Judge Bayard H. Payne of the supreme court discussed on April 27 subjects ranging from Huey Long to marriage and the Japanese menace. He declared that if there ever was to be a dictator in the United States it would be a man of the Adolph Hitler type.

Featuring a Lincoln composer, Wilbur Chenoweth, a program of vocal and piano music, primarily those selections of Mr. Chenoweth's composition or arrangement, was heard on May 4. Sidney Pepple's tenor solos were generously applauded. As a finale, Perry Beach, a Lincoln high student, and Mr. Chenoweth played a two-piano number.

A fashion display of one hundred and fifty colorful models was shown for an all girls assembly on May IO. The spectators burst into volleys of applause for various intriguing styles being exhibited. Each garment, from pajamas to evening dress, had been made in the home economics department.

Praising Lincoln's capitol, her marvelous museum and school facilities, Eben G. Fine, of Boulder, Colorado, showed beautifully colored slides of his home state at the assembly on May 11. All of the pictures were taken by Mr. Fine during the thirtyodd years in which he has had the camera as his avocation. He placed on the screen some especially striking views of a moving glacier which he discovered.

With the aid of a television set and a crystal ball, the assembly group was enabled on May 31 to see scenes portraying the occupations of some of the • seniors after graduation, at this, the spring senior program. The use of this device was novel and by a turn of the dial ( operated by Jane Holland) six episodes-the home for aged people , a street exhibition, the school room, a doctor's office, the home and a vaudeville presentation appeared before the astonished audience of departing seniors and remaining underclassmen.

The curtain has dropped on another year of varied entertainment which took place in the Lincoln high school auditorium during school hours. Through the unstinted effort of Miss Jessie B. Jury, the assembly committee chairman, and her corps of workers, students have been fortunate in seeing offerings so wide in their appeals that every taste has been satisfied.

Music

Striking a new note in achievement, Lincoln high school musical organizations of the 1933-3+ season marched forth to outdo all predecessors. Members of choir, orchestra and band did not stop at attainments in large groups, but added to the growing list of small organizations. By broadening the field for vocal and instrumental work, the students, on their own initiative, have shown a desire for the study of good music. In comparison with other schools, they have established their school as a leader in the field of music.

Mr. Nevin, waving his baton over our orchestra and band for the fourth consecutive year, provided an excellent selection of music for study and concert. The orchestra may well be proud of having finished the first movement of the Symphony in Re Minor by the immortal Cesar Franck. The genius composer, who was an organist, filled his work with all beauty and power which might be brought from his instrument. The orchestrations of this dynamic music contain all the depth and tone quality characteristic of organ music.

Others to be lauded for their fine work are Miss Helen Stowell and William G. Tempel. They have made the vocal division memorable. Reaching the first of two high points, the choir, assisted by P aul LeBar at the organ, presented a Christmas program so reverent in atmosphere that a spell was cast over the audience. The lovely soprano voice of Elizabeth Neely carried the solo parts. Even those who lack in appreciation of good music were caught in the web of charm spread by the carefully trained and blended young voices.

Students who have a part in school music should be proud of their position and several have set a new standard in their promotion of small organizations. A select group of girls, the octet, taken from the choir, sang their way into the hearts of fellow students with the result that such a group will probably be maintained in Lincoln high for some time. From the orchestra come the first and second string quartets, whose friendly rivalry only incited a more vigorous will for work. The woodwind quintet, although lacking rivals, mastered compositions which make'' it worthy of praise. So much real talent enters the music departments that many lovely combinations are made pos ible in the high school world of voice and instrument.

During the convention of the Nebraska state teachers association, several of our musical groups entertained, both at the hotels and at the coliseum. Later, the choir, directed by Mr. Tempel and assisted by a selected orchestra, repeated the Russian Fantasy for the national convention of music teachers, held in Lincoln for the first time.

Appreciation · concerts, given by the orchestra once each semester for children in the fifth and sixth grades, again accomplished their purpose of creating an admiration for the works of famous composers The children also had the opportunity to hear a "living" orchestra, and many gained inspiration for achievement of their own in the musical realm The music most popular with them seemed to be The music most popular with them seemed to be the two selections from Debussy's Children's Corner, The Little Shepherd and Serenade for the Doll.

One of the high lights in the busy year of personal appearances was the state contest, with L incoln acting as host to visiting high school musicians from all Nebraska. Local contests, first in the school and then at Geneva, were necessary to select the contestants for the finals. All of the instrumental groups and soloists were given superior rating and invited to participate in the state contest. Vocal groups and soloists were also very successful, most of them returning to compete with winners from other sections of the state. The orchestra was a winner, being the only one in the state to receive a superior rating.

As we put a final entry into our musical diary for this year, we may feel that our contribution to its pages stands out from other We too have set a standard that is hard to reach, but that will, we hope, be upheld in the future.

High School Choir

The choir made several appearances this year, singing for the Kiwanis club, the spring music festival and the June commencement exercises, but the climax was reached in its distinctive performance of The lolly Musketeer. Public approval of light comedy opera had much influence on the selection of this musical drama. The scene is laid in a little French town where the sharp distinction

between peasant and noble still exists. The story involves the love of a peasant maid and a young noble, entangled with the amusing situation created by an older noble in his desire to marry within a very short time. Elizabeth Neely portrayed the young peasant girl, with Walter Reusch appearing opposite her as the young noble.

Ad v anced Orche str a

Four years ago the Lincoln high school advanced orchestra not only gained first place in state competition but also won the national title. Since then, the orchestra ha s had a fine reputation which is nation-wide as well as local. In 1934, our orchestra again entered the state contest, playing the required numbers , the second movement of Howard Hanson 's

Nordic Symphony Number One and the overture Die Geschopfe des Prometheus by Beethoven. No orchestra was declared a winner but each one was classified according to its ability. Our orchestra also played in the spring festival held at Irving junior high. Musical groups from schools all over the city took part in the festival.

Boys ,, Glee Club

Glee clubs, two other selective groups, have completed another year of earnest study and work in voice and harmon y. As a climax they joined with orchestra and choir in presenting the last vesper concert of the season. The girls are directed by Miss Helen Stowell , who contributes much to the vocal department. Mr. Tempel has charge of the boys glee. Most of the members are juniors. The

girls glee entered the state contest and received a high rating. They also sang at the Christma s vesper concert, spring festival, state convention of principals and superintendents and commencement exercises. At the festival the girls sang Ma Little Banjo by Dichmont and To the Spirit of Music by Stephens.

The Lincoln high school band, responsible for the spirited playing of school songs at various games and rallies, has helped our teams on to victory in many a hard-fought contest. The band proved its abilities at an assembly in which it played several selections of extremely different types, from heavy overtures to the light and ever popular ballad, Trees . This organization formally opened its year by playing at the football games and then the basket-

ball games. The more serious part of the band's work was shown in a vesper concert at which it shared honors with the University of Nebraska glee club. The work continued throughout the year, including the spring festival at Irving junior high, a concert at the Shrine country club, and closing with a program presented for the annual Lincoln flower show.

Drama

Dramatics in Lincoln high school have involved a larger amount of student participation in the bst f~w years, partly through the efforts of the Mummers to interest their members in the technical side of play producing, and partly through the increased activity of the woodwork, electricity and printing departments in making scenery, advertising material and programs. Make up, directing, properties and advertising are some of the subjects dwelt upt n.

Miss Frances McChesney has terminated her fifth year as dramatic coach, and for past triumphs and those more recent productions of this year she is to be congratulated.

To advertise the dramatic offerings, symbolism was resorted to. Paper green stockings were distributed for the play of that title; yellow crown~ for The Queen's Husband; hearts for Peg o' My Heart and Cinderella's blue slippers for joy night.

The importance of advertising campaigns has been considerably heightened, as there are no •advance sales of tickets, and the position of advertising manager has become increasingly significant.

The •Cinderella theme prevailed in the annual dramatic and musical show sponsored by the student council. Betty Andrews was chosen from recommendations made by the student body to play the role , and the secret was well kept until the opening night, even though her slipper was displayed for several days previous. Prince Charming in the person of Paul Amen was also selected by student nominations. Various and colorful acts helped to carry out a modernized version of the old fairy tale.

From a sophisticated English drawing room comedy, Green Stockings, to the immortal Peg o' M3 • Heart and then on to a satire from the pen of Robert E. Sherwood, The Queen's Husband, depicting the trials and tribulations of a mythical kingdom, through joy night with its fairy tale background, the Lincoln high school dramatic season faded to a close with the rollicking strains of the opera, The lolly Musketeer.

Musical interludes between acts and before curtains rise were played by small selected groups from the advanced orchestra, directed by Bernard F. evm.

Green .. Stockings

by A. E. W. MASON

An enterpnsmg girl who found herself a t the age of twenty-eight condemned to the life of the spinster relative worked out her salvation in the Mummers play. Celia Faraday, after seeing the happy marriages of two younger sisters, changed her whole future by inventing a fiance who, to her amazement , later became a not altogether objectionable reality.

An English drawing-room comedy , Green Stockings , brought a glimpse of sparkling evening dress

and a battery of effervescent dialogue to the listeners. Particularly well played were the parts of Celia and Mrs. Chisholm Faraday, her sympathetic, fidgety aunt. The comedy parts of Tarver , Grice and Steele were also well done. The performances of the whole cast added to evidence that the Mummers is probably the starting point for man y future actors.

peg o ' My Hea rt

by J. HARTLEY MANNERS

First a book , then a Broadway dramatic success and then a movie, the story of P eg o' My Heart was well known by the time it was presented at Lincoln high school by the class of ' 34.

The incongruity of an aristocratic London family harboring an Irish girl with a tell-tale brogue was the naturally humorous situation in P eg o' My Heart. The Celtic las sie's unfailing optimi sm and

good sense saw her through an almost impossible turn of affair s

Flora Albin in the role of Peg gave one of Lincoln high's memorable performances. She was in no wa y hindered by the brogue , but gave an altogether adept characterization. Also remarkable was William Gant's interpretation of Alaric, the typical Engli sh gentleman .

The •• Queen's Husband

by ROBERT EMMETT SHERWOOD

The double -edged humor of Sherwood 's politi cal satir e was fully a ppreciated from the time the queen's hu sband fir st smiled mildl y at the audience until he shouted at his noble mate with kingl y vehemence. The harass ing days occurred in a mythical kingdom in the north sea. The people were constantl y on the verge o f a revolution which never quite burst into flames while the domineering queen wa s on hand. The queen's discomfiture when on her re-

turn from a trip she saw the mutiny of her husband and daughter kept the audience laughing until the final curtain.

Clement Theobald in the title role was a model of deceptive meekness and depicted the more masterful king of the la st act with equal competence. The queen, portra yed by Janet Caldwell, was as dignified and t y rannical as any woman of imperial lineage might be.

The Ma il Plane Lands

A huge shape wings its way

Through the wind swept heavens,

Tiny specks of red and green light

Its only herald.

A humming drone becomes louder and As the plane hovers over the field

The beacon , a ribbon of light , Embraces its quivering form.

It lands, a great bird louder. Bound for a time to earth and humanity. The powerful motor becomes silent. A few moments pass. Once more

The raucous challenge is thrown

To the night and space, The drone becomes a distant murmur, The lights, mere pin points Of brilliance.

The pilot 1s m space Alone.

High in the air, in the dust and dirt, Little torn trousers-tiny old shirt, Dirty and coarse, when they should be fine, High in the air , on an old clothes-line.

Weak, hungry cries that will never end, Women with shoulders that ache and bend, Striving to lessen the moan and whine, Washing out clothes for an old clothes-line.

Ah , in this dirty , terrible place, I see through my tears, another wee face, Sweet little clothes , so dainty and fine, U oder the trees, on a clean white line.

Isn't it pitiful, God of love,

Why they have hidden your sky above, Hidden your Sun and your Stars divine , ,vith small, drab clothe on an old clothes-line?

Oh could they see our pretty white trees , See the soft garments float in the breeze, Dear God, my thanks , that these aren't mine, Ragged , wee clothes on an old clothes-line.

With the hoarse caw of crows,

With the tiny hum of mosquitos' wings , With the sound of wind, far away, in the tree tops, With all the noisy silence of the woods

The brooklet blends its undulating laughter. Tinkling, glinting, gliding through the spotty shadows of the willows,

Winking at Apollo and Apollo smiling back , Rushing through the narrows, dancing in the hallows,

Fluttering lazily upon the silver sand, The streamlet wanders onward, swiftly now , Then tiring, meanders slowly for awhile as if to rest,

And finally , dashing over a rocky little ledge, Spread out into a unny pond Where dragon flies are sparkling.

Getting to School on Time

The procedure of getting to school on time differs slightly in relation to one's grade. Of course, in grade school one arises at approximately seven o'clock, is dressed by one's parents and driven to school in plenty of time. This method is by far the best. However, high school students seem to have developed an aversion to being dressed by their parents; furthermore, the parents themselves don't particularly relish the idea. Therefore after a great deal of scientific research, deep concentration on the subject and the performing of many truly noble experiments we have formulated the following set of rules, which, if one is ultimately to reach the top, must be rigorously obeyed. In one's sophomore year it is advisable to arise at seven o'clock. This may be varied five or ten minutes either way without visibly affecting the schedule, especially toward the close of the second semester. In the junior year, after one has become a trifle more proficient, one may sleep until 7 :30. The senior year the limit should be 7 :45. (This is written primarily for seniors, but may be altered accordingly if one is an underclassman.) Now we are ready to begin.

About one week before the semester star t s a senior should build up a set of firm resolutions to arise every morning at 6 :30, take a cold shower, run once around the block, be ready for breakfast promptly at 7 : 1 5 and leave for school not later than 7 :40. The second day the run around the block may be omitted, and · because of the time saved here one may sleep fifteen minutes longer. The sleep generally does one more good anyway

After the fourth or fifth day the cold shower may be dropped, an omission which permits one to sleep until seven. For the next few weeks, then, the following routine should be inflexible. Arise at 7 :oo or 7 : I 5 ; breakfast about 7 :40; leave for school at 7 :55 and arrive there at 8: 15. That gives one plenty of time and there is no sense in getting to school too early anyway.

As the semester progresses, one sleeps a minute or two longer every morning until, beginning with the last eight or ten weeks, the method of procedure is the following. Arise at 7 :45; make desperate but rapid search for clean shirt; finding none d~cide that the one you have worn for the past week will do for just one more day; mutter a few unprintable words as you discover that two of the remaining five buttons have mysteriously disappeared during the night; put on socks with holes in the toes; stuff your foot into one shoe and clump all over the house, shouting at the top of your voice until you find the other shoe, mysteriously enough, reposing quietly under a chair downstairs; get your tie which

is hanging on a doorknob in the basement; your coat from the doorknob in your room; always look all over the house, not just in one or two rooms, but all over the house, for the comb before you look in your own pocket, then decide that your hair doesn't need combing-it would just get mussed up again in gym class-so w~y waste time? By this time you should have the family in a fine fit of dementia.

The next step in the procedure is to stroll calmly down to breakfast and announce blandly that you'll probably be late again this morning. Prop the morning paper up in front of you and read it through slowly. Gulp your breakfast as rapidly as possible, casually finish the paper, grab your coat, leave at least two carefully prepared assignments and one book on your desk, slam the door as you leave and run as fast as possible for the first block. After that let your run gradually slow to a dogtrot, a rapid walk and finally a disinterested amble and lastly, stop to watch a dog chase a cat up a tree. Decide you have plenty of time and stroll leisurely along for the next block. Notice a student running and another and another. Hurry up a bit, a little slower for a moment, now faster, faster-perhaps it wouldn't hurt to run a little-of course you have plenty of time, but it's good exercise running, and just in case ...... ! Break into a dead run for the last two blocks, throw your coat into your locker ( It won't shut, but what's the difference?) sprint down the hall, around the corner, up the stairs three or more at a time, yank open the auditorium door just as the clock ticks and the bell starts to ring. Thank Heaven you sit near the back! Leap around the corner of the back row of seats; collide more or less forcibly with two other rushing students and flop into your seat, exhausted but smiling, just as the bell quits ringing. And to conclude in good taste, turn easily to your nearest neighbor and remark, "Well, I made 'er!"

To do this successfully call for years and years of practice and perfect timing, but don't be discouraged-it can be done. Ask any senior!

The Wind

It searches for cracks by the windows And shrieks as it tries to squeeze through; It shoulders its way 'round the chimneys And whispers and laughs in each flue. It snatches the dust from the roadways And tosses it into the sky, Defying all things that oppose it, Challenging creatures that fly.

ROSALIE BREUER

The Coyote

Low over western hills, The flaming sun is nesting. The bones of long dead kills Are shadowed; earth is resting.

Then from a dark ravine

In a lonel y silent place, A lithe gray form is seen

Lope with a noiseless grace.

Merging into the dusk

As it slinks from its hidden den , It shys from a windblown husk And then slinks on again.

Soon at the trail's edge, By a cow's skull bleached and white, With nose thrust forth like a wedge , It probes the breeze of the night.

But not one scent is strange

To this dweller of the waste, And soon across the range It lopes with restless haste.

The earth is deathly still Save for the night wind's moan, When a weird sound seems to fill The air with a ghostly tone.

Flung out into the night, From the crest of a sandy dune And re-echoed from the heights'Tis the coyote's howl to the moon.

An Excavator

You are a worker , thumping and creaking, panting in short gasps lowering yoµr one arm of steel, cables for muscles , then groaning as you labor, your load of earth to lift. Turning on your unwieldy pivot, moaning in distress dropping your burden , with a sigh of great relief, yet urged on again by your inexorable master, dominant~'riding your back, whipping you to work again, despite your bearded age.

Morning in a Tourist Camp

As I hop over the turnstile onto a hard packed, winding dirt-path with young weeds pushing up here and th ere on its brown surface, I cannot help noticing the rather odd, obscure bits of beauty sprinkled around in this small tourist camp , lying at the backdoor of our city high school. The trees with their untrimmed branches newly laden with green leaves and the long uncut, unkempt green clumps of grass lend a wild look to the early mornmg scene .

Over to the right by a towering hedge of lavender lilacs, stands a veritable gypsy wagon with a gray body, bright, red-spoked wheels and dainty ruffied curtains showing through small square windows bordered in red and flaming orange. The pleasing smell of crisp bacon is wafted through the air mixed with the pungent taint of wood smoke spiraling up from a stubby black smoke-stack which juts out from the colorful wagon at a precarious angle. A small girl in a faded pink dress and two small boys in ragged overalls are washing the egg yo lk off their stained, cheerful little faces in a white pail, s tanding in the tall grass beside one of the shiny red wheels.

As I pass on over the weathered automobile bridge w ith its splintered timbers and twisted steel sides, I hear the slow trickle of the miniature, dirty brown creek gurgling beneath, and I see growing far down on the steep muddy bank by the water's edge, a small, fresh bunch of purple violets which peep astonishingly through their dark green leaves, thriving amid aged vinegar bottles and rusty, disfigured tin cans.

Coming in sight of the sunny yellow bricks of school, I turn for a last glimpse at the dwarfed tourist cottages , lined up in a row beside the gravel road leading into this travelers' haven. Sitting beside one of the small, modern cabins is an old woman, combing her long, recently washed, silverywhite hair in the morning sunshine and probably thinking it is good to be alive.

DEAN McGRATH

The Ch ina Boot

'.Irs. Connors ruefully surveyed the broken remains of the little boot.

"Betty, I can't think of any possession that I have that I prized more highly-and it can't be replaced ,-ever."

"But mother, why should it mean so much? It's only a gaudy china shoe-you can get them at the dime store, or I imagine you could twenty years ago. Really though, I'm awfully sorry I broke it. I didn't mean to be so clumsy." Betty looked at her mother, wondering why she treasured the little trifle so much.

"That's undoubtedly where it came from, but it meant a great deal to me. It meant that my first year as a teacher hadn't been a failure."

* * *

Mr. Ellers scrutinized the tiny figure in the chair opposite him. "But my dear little Miss Peters, that is the worst district in the county. Teachers with years of experience have failed there. Why, those Dunning boys would run you out in a week. You wouldn't be able to stand it. Some of the pupils are older than you are, and-"

"Please, Mr. Ellers, give me a trial. I may be only eighteen and I may be tiny, but maybe that would be a help." Janet Peters leaned forward and pleaded with her voice and her eyes. "Maybe these boys would feel sorry for me and want to help me. Please, sir, I do need the position so!"

Certainly, thought Mr. Ellers, it would be worth a try. Hard-boiled school-mistresses had been of no avail, and the fragile little bit of a girl might inspire pity, and a spirit of protectiveness. Yes, it was worth a try.

Aloud he said, "Very well, the pay is $37.50 a month. And now about those Dunning boys. There are six of them in the family. Lou is next to the oldest and he is the ring-leader. They are all witty, clever and mischievous as old Nick----" * * *

It was the first day of school. The diminuitive teacher stood behind her desk, wearing her hair done up and a long dress for the second time in her life. Outwardly, she was very calm , but her heart sank as she looked at the faces of the forty strangers whom she had been hired to teach.

She glanced about for the six boys who would answer the description of the "Unholy Terrors", as the Dunning boys were called. They were not in the seats that had been pointed out as their selfappropriated places. Apparently they were starting their campaign against the new teacher without first looking her over.

The business of the day was started. Still no appearance was made by the mischievous sextet.

Suddenly, about an hour before lunch, a rhythmical stamping of feet was heard on the steps and coming across the porch of the schoolhouse. The door flew open and Janet stood gazing at a tall boy. His arms were akimbo and he had a deep frown on his face. In his hair was stuck a long, pheasant feather.

He peered at Janet for some moments and she returned his gaze. Finally his face cleared and became almost a blank. He made a peremptory gesture behind him and moved forward into the room. Five boys followed him, and at last they stood in a row before the astounded teacher. All had their arms folded and not one took his eyes from the teacher's face.

Janet returned their look imperturbably, determined to let matters take what course they would. She had heard of the ingenious pranks of the "Terrors", but she had not expected such a dramatic entrance.

After a long moment the tall boy spoke. "I'm Lou. This here's Herbert, Otto, John, Ted and Walt." As he spoke he made a motion toward each of the boys in turn.

Janet made a slight bow but did not speak. In truth, she was wondering just how she was going to get them to their seats. She finally decided to do nothing at all.

othing was necessary. Lou made another imperious gesture, and the boys marched to their seats from which they continued their scrutiny of the teacher.

Janet went on with what she had been saying as though there had been no interruption. She was secretly relieved that everything had gone off as well as it had and that she had shown no surprise or emotion of any l~ind. However, she was glad that she could get away from those staring boys when the time came to ring the bell for lunch.

Hoping to get better acquainted with some of the girls, Janet took her lunch and joined them at the brook which ran behind the schoolhouse. The girls had a good deal to say about the Dunnings. They related in detail all of the tricks they had played on the teacher who had preceded Janet. They told how they had broken all of the windows and finally carried the unfortunate teacher to the road and warned her not to come back.

Hearing these things, Janet determined to find some way to raise money and buy basketball equipment. Just as she was formulating a plan, she realized that it was time to recall school. She rang the bell and waited outside until all of the children had gone in.

When she entered the room, she was horrorstruck-but she said in a mildly puzzled tone of voice, " ow who could have done that, I wonder?"

The blackboard at the front of the room wa~ covered with bits of melon and juice. On the floor in front of it were many cantaloupe rinds. They had been thrown at the board and the juice had run down over it.

Janet wa~ dismayed-she had no idea what to do. Something propelled her up the aisle. She picked up the pieces of rind and put them into the wastebasket. Then she turned to the class and gave them wo~k which would keep them busy for a while.

She went out of doors to the pump and wet some pieces of cloth. Going back into the room, she washed the board as far as she could reach. Then she turned again to the class and called Lou up to her desk. He came with a defiant smile which faded when he heard her request.

"Lou, would you mind washing that board the rest of the way? I can't quite reach it."

Silently, Lou took the cloth and cleaned the resr of the board. As he finished, Janet said, "Lou, if you know who did this, tell them not to throw any higher than to here," and she pointed to the place which was as high as she could reach. "You see, I'm not very tall and if they don't throw any highe: than that, I can do the cleaning myself and I won't have to bother you again." Smiling serenely, she nodded him his dismissal.

The tall boy looked down at her with a light of understanding in his eyes. With her heart full of misgivings, she watched him and saw that light replaced, or rather augmented, by a smile of appreciation and admiration. He saw through her ruse, and he was man enough and intelligent enough to admire her ingenuity. * * *

It was the last day of school. The annual picnic lunch had been duly disposed of at the p1cmc grounds beside the creek.

Janet was walking to the schoolhouse to take a last look and to remember her struggles of the year. The Dunning boys' devilish spirit had broken out from time to time in spite of her victory over Lou's habitual dislike of teachers, but had been appeased somewhat by the purchase and use of the basketball equipment;

Janet's thoughts centered about Lou. He was an unusual boy; she wished she had really gained his affection. She considered herself something of a failure. She could have tried harder to direct his brilliant mind into other channels than those of mischief-making. There were so many things she could and should have done.

Passing one of the schoolhouse windows and glancing in, she halted suddenly in amazement.

Lou, the unapproachable scoffer of "sissy" traits, was standing before her desk. Carefully he re[ 113 J

moved from within his shirt front and placed upon her desk, gingerly, almost tenderly, a tiny blue china boot. After glancing quickly, even furtively about the room, he assumed his usual air of defiant carelessness and walked from the building.

Requiem

Down through the ages resound

The spirited notes of trumpets, The clash of mace on helm and targe.

Death! Desolation!

The moans of the wounded and dying, The cries of widows and orphans Plead in each note for peace

Peace on earth

Good will among men.

Blood soaked battlefields, Graves in whose dark portals

Unknown bodies lie mouldering; Grim testimony of times

When neighbor contended against neighbor In deadly strife.

0 God, Lord and Giver of life, Command this awful strife to cease, Turn human hearts against wars of hatred And encourage neighbor to say

To neighbor

"Thy tran gressions are forgiven" So that peace reigneth

Over the whole world forever.

Swimming

Whether it is the splash of the inexperienced, the clean dive of the accomplished life saver, the desire for physical fitness or credit that furnishes the attraction, the swimming pool is the rendezvous for numerous mermaids in classes the year round and after school in the spring and fall.

Maxine Titler , senior, who placed first in three events besides earning one second place was the individual high sconir of the fall swimming meet held on ovember 27. Dorothy Conn and Martha Jackson shared second an<l third olaces while Ruth Fulton came out fourth. Maxine's first places were in the resting back for form, front and back dives; her second, in the underwater swim. Ruth Pratt and Dorothy Charleston of the Y.W.C.A. were the two judges of the meet. Life savi ng emblems were awarded to four girls the first semester: Cora Fox, Chellys Mattley, Ada Buckner and Helen Gaddis.

In the class relay the junior team composed ofChellys Mattley, edra McReynolds, Cora Fox . and Esther Keller was victorious over the se ni or team of Blanche Ridnour, Dorothy Conn , Frances Fish and Ruth Fulton.

Basketball

A three-way round-robin interclass tournament was introduced this year replacing the original single round-robin classic which annually terminates the girls basketball season.

The chief contention was , as usual, between the seniors and the juniors. ,The juniors with little difficulty had won the first of the three games 21-11 The crucial point in the second game found the juniors holding a 5-0 a dvantage at the half. To the seniors loss of the game meant loss of the championship, but at the end of the game the seniors were on top with a one-point margin 10- 9.

The seniors, spurred on by their close second game victory, forced an early lead in the third and deciding game. With Mary Fox closely guarding Mar y Janet Smith, junior sharp-shooter, they came out victorious as the final game ended 16-13.

While the juniors were on the short end in the number of games won, they held a seven-point advantage over the seniors in a combined total of tallies for the six games played.

The sophomores, although they could not claim a game, put up a good fight and several times threatened their upperclass mates.

The class of '34 leaves an enviable basketball record behind them. As juniors the y were the "class of the floor ," while as sophomores they held their own in a three-way tie

Feminine voices shouting the familiar, "First bat! Pitcher! Second bat!" may easily be heard almost any Tuesday and Thursday after school from the girls playground.

Interclass competition, games between the graduates from the various junior highs, as well as the usual team competition made up the program of the girls after-school baseball. Miss Lillian Story inshucted the group in the technique of the game. The girls were especially favored this year, the weather permitting them to play outdoors almost every night.

Te nn is

Forty-eight would-be Wimbledon players registered for after-school tennis this spring. Because of the heavy enrollment, two classes were organized which met at the municipal courts two nights a week. Miss Lillian Story instructed half the group on Mondays and Wednesdays; Miss Marie Snavely, the other half on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Ruth Fulton, defending champion of the previous year, defeated Idella Iverson in the finals of the fall elimination tournament to retain her championship crown. Catherine Cahill and Constance Allgaier reached the semi-finals. Those who entered the tournament were Catherine Cahill, Idella Iverson, Ruth Fulton, Martha Jackson, Lucille Priessman, Frances Proudfit, Constance Allgaier and Rebekah Oldfather.

The regular spring tournament drew many new and old contestants, and the large number in classes this spring showed a marked increase of interest in this widely acclaimed, much enjoyed summer sport.

Arch e ry

Attempting to compete with Dan Cupid and Robinhood, feminine archers displayed a great deal of interest and enthusiasm in a comparatively new high school sport-archery.

Ruth Wilcox, junior, became the Lincoln high school fall archery champion when she out-shot Eleanor Eiche 1-3-3-5-7-9 in the elimination tournament which brought to a close about six weeks of steady practice on the girls playground east of the school.

In the semi-finals Mary Fox lost to Ruth by one point wl}ile Eleanor eliminated Nedra McReynolds. Competition was very keen, over thirty archers matching their skill of arm and eye in an endeavor to hit the one round spot-the bull's eye. A similar tournament was held in the spring which also drew a large numbei;. of bowmen.

Classes were' organized both in the fall and spring. The fall classes were under the supervision • of Miss Marie Snavely, while Miss Lois Foley of the university instructed in the spring. [ 117]

Hiking

Clay pits, Bethany grove, Roberts park and Capital Beach attracted about a dozen girls weekly in the course of the season's Saturday hikes. Starting early every Saturday morning, weather permitting, they spent the entire morning on foot, bicycles or roller skates, returning in the early afternoon. This is one of the ways in which points were earned toward L's.

Beth Burr and Chellys Mattley were chosen by the G. A. A. to lead the group during the two semesters.

Basketball

Compiling an unbroken string of 1 7 consecutive victories, Lincoln high school's 1933-34 basketball squad topped off a successful season with the annexation of the state championship. The only blot on the Links' schedule was defeat at the hands of Creighton Prep in a post-season encounter.

Inaugurating the campaign with a 36-1 7 win over Hebron, the Links next tromped York under foot 36-18, and then invaded Omaha, returning with a win over Central, 37-18, and a tight squeeze over Abraham Lincoln, 37-35.

With Dick Bradley and Bob Parsons running up 14 points apiece, the Red and Black enjoyed a rout at Jackson's expense , 43-15.

Geneva, St. Joseph Benton and Omaha Tech were the next three victims of the Capital City basket tossers. Lincoln basketball stock took a sudden rise when Hastings was added to its list of impressive victories in a thriller, 30-23.

Crete , ancient rival in athletic circles, suffered its worst setback under Coach Klein's regime when the Ballermen went on another scoring rampage to humble Crete , 41-16

St. Joseph Central succumbed to a severe attack of Red and Black field goals to become the tenth m a row.

The trio of conferen ce opponents remaining on the schedule , Omaha Tech , Central and Abraham Lincoln were brushed aside, Abraham Lincoln being the only one to put up a battle. Dick Shaw , Bluffs forward, and Richard Bradle y, rangy center, waged a scoring duel , Shaw getting 19 points and Bradley, 22. This victoi;.y left Lincoln high with a thou sand per cent standing in the Missouri V alle y conference and consequentl y undisputed po ss ess ion of the crown.

The clima x of the season was re ac hed when Coach Baller's basketeers traveled to Grand I sland and [ 119]

subdued the Third City clan , 30-23 , in a thrillpacked melee of state wide intere st.

Beatrice and Jackson were decisively taken int o camp to complete the arranged schedule of I 7 games without a single reverse , a feat hitherto unaccomplished by any Lincoln high basketball squad.

A post-season game with Creighton Prep, however, proved disastrous. Creighton Prep, defeated only once during the season by Abraham Lincoln , caught Lincoln not quite up to snuff and ungently plastered a 26- 19 defeat upon the Red and Black

Meeting Falls City in the first round of state tournament play, the Links came through with a 35-20 decision. Bob Parsons led the attack with 7 field goals. The next night Fremont hoopsters threw a scare into the Lincoln fans , but a prolonged rally in the last half resulted in a 22-14 victory In the semi-finals the Red and Black encountered Columbus, 1933 state champions, but the slow style of play employed by Coach Mielenz' Discoverers availed them nothing and they also fell prey to the Lincoln ball hawks.

The finals found Lincoln and Crete once more facing each other on the maples , Crete by virtue of a victory ov er Grand Island in the semi-finals. Exactly six weeks previous, the Links had beaten the Kleinmen and evidently the impression still remained , for when the final gun popped , the Red and Black once more ruled triumphantly over the Red and Blue and another trophy emblematic of the state championship was added to the L. H. S. trophy case.

Captain Robert Parsons , three-year letterman , Richard Bradle v and Paul Amen were placed on the first all-tou~nament selection for their sterling performance s. C a ptain Par so ns wa s al so given allstate recogniti on.

Football

Sweeping through a fall campaign, marred only by one defeat an:i a tie, the 1933 Lincoln high school football team maintained its reputation on the gridiron, and in so doing, tucked the transMissouri valley conference championship under its belt , going undefeated in conference competition for the second straight year.

Opening the season with Wymore, a team which held Lincoln to one touchdown the previous year, the Ballermen outclassed their opponents in all departments of the game to emerge from the fray with a decisive 53-6 victory. Long runs by Plock, Kulper, Amen and Rohrig were features. Marvin Plock headed the scoring jamboree with 19 points.

The Links caught a Tartar in Beatrice , Coach Latta's Orangemen holding them to a scoreless tie. Lincoln marched down the field three times within the lo-yard line, but fumbles halted two of the drives. Andrews' punting repulsed Lincolnite advances so frequently that it became a dangerous offensive weapon. Jensen, center, and Schneider, guard, stood out on defense for Lincoln. Later in the season, Beatrice took Grand Island into camp and finished undefeated, although tied twice.

Held almost completely in check by a stout Lincoln line which allowed St. Joseph Central only 23 yards from scrimmage, the Joetown eleven took the short end of a 3 l -6 count. Bill "Moose" Kulper had a big afternoon, scoring three of the touchdowns.

Finishing with a belated fourth quarter rally, t he Red and Black managed to eke out a narrow one-point victory over Abraham Lincoln Marvin Plock's 63-yard jaunt in the final four minutes put the Links in a scoring position, from which, aided by Amen and Plock, Bill Kulper went over. With ardent Red and Black rooters praying devoutly for victory, John Saunders came through with the necessary one point when on a fake kick he plunged over the goal line.

Flashing into the mid-season form, the Ballermen continued to brush aside all obstacles in the pigskin path with a decisive 21-0 win over Omaha Tech. This practically assured Lincoln of another conference title, Omaha Central alone remaining on the Links loop schedule. Next came a highly touted orth Platte team seeking revenge for its crucial defeat in 1932. Unimpressed, Coach Baller's touchdown getters calmly proceeded to collect three counters to the Platters' one, thus necessarily postponing the westerners' ardent desire for vengeance

Marvin Plock, speedy halfback, whose long runs were a constant threat to opponents , pulled the Crete game out of the fire with a Frank Merriwell finish when he scampered around end for 61 yards and six points in the final two minutes to offset the Kleinmen's two-point advantage , incurred when Amen was tackled behind his own goal line.

Continuing to bowl over the opposition , Lincoln encountered Omaha Central in the final conference game, and when the dust cleared away , the scoreboard read 33-0 , Lincoln. Marvin Plock again led the touchdown parade with four markers, two of them on 67- and 78-yard runs. Amen also scored on a 39-yard jaunt.

All hopes for a second undefeated football season were rudely shattered by Grand Island's powerhouse Immediately upon the kickoff the Third Cit y gridsters took it upon themselves to impede Lincoln ' s goalward progress and then added insult tu injury by pushing over four touchdowns while limiting the Ballermen to one. Lincoln's six points came as a result of a fumbled ball behind Grand Island's goal line which Bob Mills, elongated end, promptly wrapped himself around. The Links were knocking at the door of another touchdown in the closing minutes, but the commanding lead piled up by the Manderymen in the hectic first half was too great to overcome. Don Jensen turned in a great defensive performance, making nearly half the tackles singlehanded. It was the first time in thirteen years that a Grand Island team had scored on the Capital City clan.

As in former seasons, Lincoln contributed a good share of the positions on the all-s t ar teams Bill Pfeiff, guard; Robert Mills, end; William Kulper, fullback; Marvin Plock, halfback; Donald Jensen, center; and Sam Schwartzkopf, tackle; were given recognition on the all-Missouri valley conference team . William Kulper, Marvin Plock and Donald Jensen were also placed on the I ebraska State Journal football all-state honor roll. THE

SCHEDULE

Reserve Football

Although winning but two games on the schedule, the reserve football squad coached by Ralph Andrews, nevertheless accomplished its main purpose in furnishing opposition to the first team in practice scrimmages and teaching up-and-coming footballers the fundamentals of the pigskin sport.

Track

Coach Lauritsen's track and field team, although not so well-balanced a squad as the 1933 aggregation, brought into the spotilght two stellar weight performers in Bob Mills and Bill Pfeiff. In early season performances Mills continually bettered the state record, as did Pfeiff in the shot put, and the two Lincoln mainstays climaxed a nearly finished season when they waged a shot-putting duel in the state meets May 12. Pfeiff tossed it 49 feet 7 inches to crack the old record in the preliminaries and then the record changed hands twice between both putters, being raised each time until Mills on his final heave tossed the iron pellet out into space to land on the good green earth 5 1 feet 6 inches from the circle. By their sterling efforts, both Mills and Pfeiff earned the right to travel to Wyandotte high school in Kansas City to participate in a Central States track and field carnival with other high school luminaries.

Lincoln finished third in Group III; Gothenburg winning it and Aurora finishing second. The final reckoning stood: Gothenburg , 19 1/3 points; Aurora, 1 2, and Lincoln , 11 ,½. Pfeiff in the discus and Evans in the pole vault along with Mills and Pfeiff in the shot accounted for the 11 ,½ tallies.

Lincoln tracksters placed second in Beatrice in a triangular affair with Crete and Beatrice and took Crete in a dual meet three days later to officially open the season. Lincoln copped two more seconds in the Southeastern Nebraska meet at Beatrice and at the Hastings relays, won by Beatrice and Curtis Aggies respectively.

Consistent point winners through the season, other than Mills and Pfeiff, were Gene Mettee and Herman Rohrig, sprints, and Sterling Schmitt, broad jump and discus

. Swimming

Although seriously hampered by lack of competition , since Tech and Central temporaril y abandoned swimming , the Lincoln high aquatic squad produced as fine a group as ever splashed water in the Links pool.

During the sea son Lincoln met and defeated Beatrice , Fremont and Hastings in seven meet s. Since the Nebraska h igh school ath letic associ a tion had voted to cease swimming, golf and tennis

championship s, the University of Nebraska took it upon itself to sponsor an invitational swimming meet. Coach Lauritsen's splashers easily outdistanced the field , taking first in every event but the 200-yard rela y. Burt on Amgwert won both the 50- and 100-yard free st yle a nd Pete Hagelin lowered his previou s record in the 100 -yard back stroke.

Tenn is

Evidently the Creighton Prep jinx carried over from basketball into the tennis world for in the state high school tournament the Prep racquet wielder s annexed both the singles and doubles championships. Don Green vanqui shed Merlin Mason , Red and Black representative , seeded number 2 in the finals , while Hough and Houser took the doubles. The Lincoln doubles team of Earl Schauppner and Harr y William s advanced as far as the semi-final s where they met defeat at the hands of Nehawka racqueteers.

Other engagements on the tenni s schedul e 111 • eluded meets with Beatrice , Jackson and the Missouri v alle y conferen ce and greater Lincoln league t ournament s.

Baseba ll

With a nucleus of four lettermen around which to build a team, Coach Ralph Andrews inaugurated his first season as baseball coach with two victories each over Hickman and Elmwood, a win over Cathedral and two setbacks caused by the bats of Alvo apple-knockers and the arm of Pitcher Del Fifer. THE SCHEDULE

Golf

Lincoln golfers again came through to complete a highly successful season in golfing circles with a state high school championship. In the state meet Gordon McEntire and Herman Strackbein made the finals an all-Lincoln affair by battering their way through stiff competition and stiff winds, McEntire upsetting Carroll Wages, York star and medalist. Herman Strackbein then proceeded to try t o make the state golf championship a family tradi• tion by succeectfng his older brother Pete, 193 3 champ, t o the throne, by virtue of a + and 2 triumph over McEntire.

The only defeat during the season was s uffered in a match with Beatrice.

Olympics

All the pent-up energy of the junior and semor classes burst forth May I 8 in the annual Olympics in a dusty atmosphere of classic vengeance with the seniors carrying off the honors. The class of '34 rolled up 87 points to 45 for the juniors. In humbling the juniors, the graduating class accomplished the rare feat of winning two olympics, having defeated the seniors in I 933.

The proceedings were nip and tuck until the tug-of-war when the seniors took things into their own hands, winning all the mass events.

In the mass events in the process of give and take, injuries were bound to occur. The casualties were all minor, however, there being only two seniors and two juniors who suffered injuries worthy of mention in the sack rush and pole rush.

The juniors started off with a bang, Ray Zimmerman, also a member of the Lincoln state league baseball team, winning the baseball throw by inches over Senior Dick Bradley.

The count became even up when Senior Catherine Cahill won the girls baseball throw.

Zimmerman's arm collected five more points in the football throw, but Senior Vivan Everett came right back with a first in the girls basketball throw to make it ten points apiece for the two classes.

Warren Frederick edged out a victory in the 40yard dash for the juniors but Vivan Everett promptly retaliated in the girls 40-yard dash with first place for the seniors.

Senior Gene Mettee took the 7 5-yard dash which Iris Lincoln of the juniors offset with a win in the girls 60-yard dash to make the count 20-20.

The juniors forged ahead when both the boys and girls carried off the shuttle relays.

Gene Clare regained five points for the graduating class by a fall over George Snyder in the lightweight wrestling and pulled an iron man stunt in repeating his previous victory with a fall over Sam Schwartzkopf in the heavyweight wrestling division. In turning the trick Clare gave away forty-five pounds to Schwartzkopf.

The archery compet was won by Liona Easton and Natalie Rehlaender representing the junior class, and Howard Taft furthered the underclass-

men's cause with a decision over Edward Maser in the lightweight boxing to run the score up to 40 for the juniors and 30 for the seniors.

Clair Dailey, fighting to uphold the senior colors for the first time, scored a knockout over persistent Sam Schwartzkopf while the senior group of Ridnour, Everett, Cahill, Lee, Fulton and Fields stretched out the farthest to appropriate five points in the girls progressive broad jump. The score thus became tied for the final time at 40 points apiece.

The tug-of-war spelled the beginning of the end. The seniors under the able and vigorous exhorta• tion of Howard Richards, senior leader, pulled as a unit to best the juniors, and the senior girls having been told to "go thou and do likewise" swelled the seniors' total to 60 points by outpulling the junior Amazons.

The seniors continued on their triumphant path to glory when the squad of George, Wahl, McDowell, Bookstrom, Hardy and Houchin subdued the second year aggregation in the lightweight battle royal.

The junior sextet of Garrison, Dean, Gartner, Fuenn:ng, Mayne and Rubino, however, wasted no time in ejecting the seniors in the heavyweight battle royal.

Then came that noble invention of torture, the doctor's delight-the notorious sack rush. The end of I.½ minutes of earnest endeavor to even class scores found the seniors in possession of three sacks and the juniors of one, the decision therefore going to the seniors along with IO points.

The final event, the traditional color rush with the seniors defending the flag fastened to a twelve foot pole and guarded this year by Bill Kuiper, resulted in numerous bruises and 12 points for the seniors after 6 minutes of successfully repulsing the juniors.

The 12 points gathered in the color rush boosted the seniors' sum total to 87 while the Juniors received for their hard work 45 points.

A pleasant memory for the seniors to graduate with and as for the juniors-better luck next year.

Such disillusionment-first we find out there ain't no Sandy Claws, then no fairies, Mr. Groundhog done us wrong this year, and the Advocate now informs us that George Washington didn't even chop down a cherry tree, but then again mebbe he did. Abe Lincoln got his start on rails. Is there an axe in the crowd ?

HAW! HAW! HAW! HA! HYUK! A twitter, a laugh, and even a bit of a chuckle. Such a school. Now they're organizing a home nursing class for boys. What is this yo unger generation coming to?

TIME: 2 :30 p.m. May 24, 1934.

PLACE: High school oval, Lincoln high, Lincoln, ebraska.

TEMPERATURE: 115¼ in the shade - - - and no shade!

Well, now that we're all out here, I see where I'm going. Right down behind that scoreboard should be some shade, and am I sleepy! Boy, this feels good. It's really cool here compared to any other place on the grounds, and outside of a few bugs - - -.

"Hey-y-y-y. You down by that scoreboard. Come here, quick." Yeh, Laurie, I'm a-comin'. Hang on, boy, I'm a-comin'. Yeah, I'm ahurrying, Laurie. You - - - - what? It wasn't me you were talking to? It was the guy behind me? Yeah, you sure fooled me, Laurie. Yeah, the joke's on 11).e. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Well, if that isn't one of the' most stupid, inane things to - - - - - -. Who, me? Oh, I see, on account of I was lying in the shade down there instead of taking a big-hearted interest in athletics I can do - - - - what? a mile! Four times around this blamed track. Okay, Laurie, but it's just because I gotta have this credit to graduate next January. If it wasn't for that I sure wouldn't kill myself like this. No sir! Well, here's once •. around. That means I have a fourth of it done. ot bad. Wonder why I couldn't cut right through this gate and across the field. As long as I pass Laurie four times I'm all right. Think I'll try it. Whoops, he's looking right at me.

Okay, Laurie ol' boy, I just wanted to get a drink anyway. What's that? Get goin? Sure, I'm gettin' goin'. Right now! Wonder what Laurie thinks the swimming pool is for? I'll bet they were just playing when they put it in there. Sure, that's it. If it was really any good, would any sane man keep us out here in this blamed heat when we could just as well be in swimming? I ask you. And I answer you. No! A thousand times no. I told you this heat would get me. Let's see, is this the fiftieth or sixtieth time I've passed Laurie. · It is the fourth, bigolly ! 'Ray for our side. It took me how long? Oh. Yeah. Not bad. Twenty-five minutes to run a mile. Too bad I'm not on the track team. Look, Laurie. I'm all wet. Can't I please go swimmin'? Yeah, I'm all wet. So. So what? So, now that I'm all warmed up I can go play baseball. All right, all right, all right. You win! But just wait. When I get my measly ~wo hours credit - - - - It's a fly, and it's mine! Look out, you dumb ox, I've got that one. Why, you clumsy fool! Ouch. Whaddya mean knocking me down. Aw, shut up! Now look at me. Water running off of me in streams, and then I've gotta lie down and roll in the dirt. Ouch, you sap, don't do that! Yeah, I know I'm sunburned. You would be to!
