Open Lockers Become Lincoln High Problem A dozen times a day you hear the old hue and cry, ''somebody stole my books,'' etc. With theJmilding crowded with new pupils it is the easie.at thing in the world to leave your locker open. Pupils new to the school ·forget that during passing periods these open lockers are accessible to everyone. Because of the fine system of locker guards, however, few lockers can be touched during class periods. ~fter school, however, the lockers are open to everyone and a careless pupil may find all his books · gone, come morning. After one week of inspection, a new record was set: the girls :received almost twice as many warning notices as did the boys. (After a pupil leaves his locker open five times, he receives a warning from the office. If he disregards the warning, he becomes a disciplinary case.) One boy's locker was left open nine times in the first week. The girl's record was seven times. .All together the boys left 115 lockei:sopen and the girls ~IJ. Please remember that th1i locks, hall guards, and locker inspections are for your benefit and if they receive the proper cooperation, the theft of articles in !Jincoln high could be stopped at once. Keep your lockers closed and you '11 keep your belongings.
Activity Ticket Purc~e ls Way of Serving School Hitler__call.s it loyalty, forcing children from the ages of 8 to 16 to train with the arms of war; Mussolini likewise caJls it loyalty, making mere youngsters learn to ride motol'cycle~ over rough terrain. This, however, is not America's idea ~f loyalty, American loyalty is expressed in many way1:1: to the nation, state, community, town and ·always to the school.. _ · Students express their loyalty for Lincoln high in many ways. Some play football, others, baseball, basketball or track. This is school spirit;. this giving all one can to enable the school to stand at the top. Not only is this true inathletics, but ir,t music, debating, drama, journalism, art ·and cheer leading. Many persons, on the other hand, have no way of expressing their loyalty for Lincoln high s_cho9l, but to appear at the games and roqt for the team. Some persons -are not talented in music, athletics, or debate. but all can turn ~mt for all games, see the plays and read the Adyocate. To those who would do something for Lincoln high, the ACTIVITY TICKET is merely an economical convenience. It is a means oLa lai·ge saving, and. :permits more participation. '110 pupils, however, who have no . other way of doing something for the school, this is their chance for service. 'rhen ... too, it is necessary for the teams to have equipment; the bands, uniforms, and the school, many articles which it needs. All money made .:from activity tickets is used to buv things for the school which are of use to man~.

Several semesters ago the Open Forum column was started in the Advocate. Itii purpose is to give t.he students a chance to express publicly their opinions and c~iti cisms of matters pertaining to high school life.
This .message is meant . primarily for ·the sophomores, hut it holds true for every J,incoln hig·h student. 'rhis is your school paper! We feel that as time goes on, you will consider it one of the necessities of your &chool life. It. is our wish to make it so. It will contain information about coming· events and activities. It will tell you what your student council is doing'. lt will tell you about the clubs~what they are and what they do. It deals with every phase of your school life. 'l'he Advocate isn't our paper-,..it is your paper. We will w~lcome gladly arty constructive criticism you may have to offer. Feel frM to make.suggestions. If you kn<>w of :featm•cs we should have and don't, tell us about them. Our goal is to make the Advocate the finest school paper in the country. N.1

This is one way of bringing lluch matterii to the attention of the faculty and the student council.

To the Editor: Several times this semester I have either been late to class or had to run to be there on time, because of the congestion at the southeast halls. Pupils wlll stand and talk, or stop arid wait to walk with a friend which makes everyone go around them. This should be 15topped. If the pupils want to talk to someone can't they stop where there isn't IQ much traffic ? Margaret Stoddard

a very liutnan boy should go· on your "must read" list. Are you interested in the best book Of the month? Then read "Alone" by Richard E. Byrd, bet· ter known as Aditiiral Byrd. This i~ a dramatic tale of his five months alone in an unknown land, untouched before him by a human being. Al! a bit of variety from the book, a good play is the spice of reading, especially if it is a fast comedy such as "Tovarich" by Ja<)ques Deva. This side-splitting complication Of two penniless members Of the Russian nobility earning an unacqustomed living as .servants ran for years in Paris 11.nd London, played at the Plymouth theatre in New York and was succe&sfully screened, starring Claudette Colbert and Charles Boyer. A bit of seasoning is ''All This, and Hea.ven Too,." by Rachel Field, a good murder story which also rates in the best seller ranks. It is a drama of one of the most notorious murder cases in France, which proved that truth is stranger than fiction. TWo sky-high sellers are about adventures in the air. One, the "Last Flight," by the headline h•roine Amelia Earhart, is her last gay stoty ot her grea.test flight which ended in her tragic disappearance. The other, "Listen, the Wind," Anne Morrow Lindbergh's own adventure of experimenting with the problems and dangers of pioneering in the air. Ruth Harkness' "The Lady . and the Panda" is her qwn exciting tale of. bringing back the first giant panda in c~ptivity. Another adventure story by a woman, Isak D!nesen, Is "Out of Africa."

Now that school has started many Lincoln high pupils reveal what they have done through the summer nionths, some jui!t staying home, while others have gone as far as from one coast to another. ·Colorado was visited by Ramey and Mary Ellen Beachly and Betty Ann Fullagar. Ramey spent a month at Camp Chief Auray where he won honors · in the horse show arid Mary Ellen and Betty Ann· stayed at Estes park. Betty Weiss visited for three . weeks in California and went to Catalina island in the famous glass bottom boat. She saw boys dive for coins and beautiful shells which they sold to the tourists. Another island visitor was Robert Schriener who spent two weeks on Madeline island where he saw a great number of deer. Arvella Schnase took her sun1mer vacation in Yellowstone pa1·k and the Black Hills. Other Black Hill visitors were Patsy Cole, Margaret Stoddard and Martha Simon. Eidon Ford, senior, spent his summer months vacationing along the western coast. He plans to make his permanent home in Seattle, Washington, upon completing his course in Linc11ln high. Bob and Wanda Smith took a. trip early in the summer to Washington, D. C., and New York. In Washington they saw many1of the Important bulldings and in New York they attended the Fair. Paul Stoesz, junior, returned to his home in Lincoln after a three weeks trip to the San Francisco World's Fair. On the return trip, he took the southern route, seeing the Grand Canyon and Boulder dam. While returning from an all day auto trip with his family, Jack. Stewart, Lincoln high pupil, experienced what was an apparently unidentified and unnoticed cloudburst except to ·those few who had
either the good or bad luck to witness it, according to their place of refuge. The deluge, just east of Columbus, Nebraska, was of auch & proportion as to completely stop all moving vehicles in its path and to limit visibility to a scant ten feet ahead. Upon scanning the next day's paper he found no notice of it. Thus the mystery of the shower. Nancy Green, junior, and Louise Putney, sophomore, spent four weeks in the Black Hills. The girls cljmbed Mt. Harney where North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana can be seen. Joan Null visited her aunt. and uncle in · Los Angeles for two weeks this summer during which time she attended the San Francisco World's Fair. Arriving just in time for school, Ralph Sears returned Sunday evening from Colorado where he has been vacationing since July 4. Ralph claims that Roamers Rest, near Sedalia, Colorado, is the best place to spend a vacation in the world. He has spent the last seven aummers there. Gilbert Ryder spent a pleasurable two weeks with his parents fishing and boating at Longshore Acres, Vining, Minnesota. Phyllis Duncan spent two weeka of her summer vacation in Denver Colorado, and vicinity. ' Duke Eberhart spent a nice quiet summer at home. Outside of going to a few fires, watching a man almost drown and scraping his knees on the bottom of East Hills swimming pool; he claims nothing happened. He didn't mention the fact that he played Legion baseball and .jumped over a fence only to alight with one toot in a cove~lesii .manhole partly filled with water which slowly seeped through his freshly cleaned baseball pants.

High Temperatures Result in Record School Dismissal Stifling w e a t h e r Wednesday, September 13, caused Lincoln high school to close almost an hour early, while Thursday, classe• were dismissed shortly after noon and Friday, at noon. Though schools have closed be· cause of cold weather, this is the first time in Lincoln school history that they were dismissed on account of the heat. Pupils accepted the news with whoops of joy when told by their teachers that school was out. The cafeteria and nearby lunch rooms lost considerable business Thursday for school was dismissed just when the last lunch period was to begin.
Virginia Ford ls Governor of First Girls State McGlasson county, where the . nationalists and federalists are the two leading parties and all state offices are held by girls, sound:!! rather queer, but it is all a part of the 1939 Cornhusker Girls State, sponosred by the American Legion auxiliary. This was t h e first girls state. to be held in Nebraska. The purpose of Girls State is to bring to Nebraska girls, through actual practice, a knowledge of the way governments are run, how officers are elected, how court13 hold their sessions, h o w laws are made and enforced, and the duties of state officers. According to Virginia Ford of · Lincoln high, who was elected governor of 1939 Girls State, "There is a great· deal of responsibility and work, along with the honor of being governor. However it was not all work. We went boating, swimming, hiking and had games. We had primary and general elections and each political party had its own convention. Regular trials were held at the courts. All this was done with the help of men who knew about such affairs." When asked what impresses her most, Virginia said, "The good sportsmanship of all the girls. There were. no hard feelings and everybody had a good time."

Reading from left' to right, the new facutly members are : Mr. Rogers, Miss Wallace, Miss Barker and Mr. Miyyiken. Miss Nancie Jane Wallace is a new member of the English department." ' Miss Wallace was greatly impressed by the ability of students to find their places so quickly and without much confusion. The business-like attitudes of students and their grown-up views towards life have won over Miss Wallace. In an attempt to become acquainted with her pupils she asked each one, to write a short note or letter to her, expressing their likes and dislikes. One sophomcre expressed his view broadly; he likes nothing in particular and everything in general. Well, it takes all kinds to make up a class.

Being an arr·e~t· footba~ fan, she is eager fot the football season to start. In the isolated northeast cor", ner of , the building in room 140, \l;'ilbert Rogers was found rear?anging his desk. With p~.pers and books surrounding him, he took time out to say a few words. Mr. Rogers was impressed by the good organization and attitude of faculty and students. He r elates tha t his classes are interesting and he is surprised at students' knowledge of language. It isn't good to be hard on stuc;ients in hot weather, but Mr. Rogers doesn't want to become too easy, or his students will class him as a "cinch" teacher. After a lengthy session of nail
roaming, Maurice Milliken was found in room 224 making out seating charts for his classes. The ' size and well kept appearance of Lincoln high appealed much to Mr. }(;[illiken. The students have unpressed him as bei.Qg an intelligent, active group. Because of his hall-roaming, Mr. Milliken has been christened "Floater," which is the traditional n a me for new teachers who have classes in many rooms in the building.

Mural Plans For Cafete.ria

Planned and Executed By L.H.S. Students Under Miss Wilson Plans are being ma.de to provide murals for Lincoln high's cafeteria, designed and executed solely by the more talented artists of the school. A special class of these students has already_been formed under the supervision of Miss Helen Wilson, art department head~ and at the present the members are discussing t~es of mu~ rals desired and will engage in intensive research. Miss Wilson is contemplating a trip to Kansas City for information, as this city is somewhat well known for its murals done by high school artists. Those familiar with the murals of the Student Union building of the U,niversity of Nebraska can well understand how such a project can greatly benefit the cafeteria. As this is the first time anything of this type has been attempted plans are rather tentative, but it is hoped that the proposed murals will greatly aid pupils planning a career in art, as well lS adding to the attraction Of the :afeteria itself. Pupils will have the chance to draw from live models, who will probably be chosen from the gymnasium classes. They will also be given opportunity to hear lectures and do other extra-curricular activities to aid them in this study. H. C. Mardis suggested this ac· tivity last year. The class itself will decide the subject of the mural, and whether doth or the wall will be used for the paint· ings. "It is an experiment in trying to give the advanced drawing pupils a chance to do more figure work," stated Miss Wilson. ·

Band Emblems To· Be Distributed After several years of discuss· ing the possibility of having letters for band members, the debate has come to a close and the letters, black four-inch old English L with a lyre on a background of red, are being distributed. "Eligibility for letters," stated Bernard Nevin, director of the Lincoln high band, "is computed on the following basis : "A band letter m a y be awarded by the band director to any pupil who has been a satisfactory mem· ber of the advanced band for not less than one semester. The band member is lo pun:hase ti1e em!J!em fo1· thirly cents . ., "This emblem may be worn on any type of black, red or wh1t.e sweater, in the same position as the athletic letters are worn . This letter may be worn as long as the pupil is a member in good standin g of the adva nced band, or has an hororable discharge from the band, whether in school, withdrawn or graduated. The letter will be recalled by the band director for unsatisfactory service, withdrawal from the band during a semester or withdrawal from the band by request, in which case a full refund will be made of the purchase price."
Nevin to Attend Legion Convention As the r esult of a recommenda.· tion from the Lincoln Symphony orchestra, conductor Leo Kucinski, Bernard Nevin, Lincoln high direc· tor of band and orchestra, left for Chicago, Illinois, Friday night to direct the Monahau Post Band of Sioux City, Iowa, for the National American Legion contest. "I am to conduct a fifty piece band in the contest next Monday a fternoon," stated Mr.Nevin before he left. "There will be very keen competition: thus we have a schedule of practices from Saturday morning to Monday morning." The band will play the " First N0rwegian Rhapsody" by Christfan2en. which is the required number, and -~- warm-up march, "_Euryanthe" overture by Weber, for their selected n u;nber.
Modern History Classes Tracing Backgrounds of Their Families To · discover where their ancestors were in the time of Julius Caesar, members of Mrs. Grace Hyatt's modern history classes traced their geneologies. After searching through old family Bibles, records and the like, they uncovered many interesting f:>.cts, among them being the fact that Bill Ingles tracei: his ancestry on his mother's side to Charles Martel, the grandfather of Charle· magne, Egbert, king of W essex, and Governor Bradford, the first governor of Massachusetts. Bill said, "I couldn't find anything on father." Donald Smith's first great ancestor was Phillip I, born in Wittenburg, Germany, the place in which Martin Luther taugh"t and placed the famous ninety-five theses on the door of the castle church.
The great-great grandfather of Phyllis Holbrook fought with Napoleon Bonaparte, while t wo of her great uncles were Rober t Morris, financier of the Civil war, and Williani Jennings B ryan. Until the depa.rture of his grandfather early in the eighteenth century, Roy Johnson's male a ncestors on his mother's father's side were of an eigllth generation · heredity line as Royal Guards of Stockholm. Elizabeth Evans traces her ancestry to Henry VIII of England and to Admiral Vernon, after whom Mount Vernon, George \Vashington's beautiful _home, w as named. S oldiers of 'iVilliam the Conqueror of Normandy a r e J eanne Kinnie's most interesting ance$tOr!'; besides those who ca me to A merica on t he Mayflower.

1\'liss M1u~rav To Conference Twenty-Sixth Annual Mississippi Valley Conference in Omaha Miss Ethel. Murray attended the twenty-sixth annual ' Mississippi valley conference on tuberculosis in Omaha, September 20. The conference was open to all doctors and nurses east ::. nd west of the Mississippi. Dr. Y. B. Rice Speaks. Although all of the speeches were very good, Miss Murray was especially interested in that. of Dr. Thurman 13. Hice. Di-. Rlce is professor of bacte1·iology anC: pt1tlic health at the Indiana university school of medicine. The doctor has written several textbooks, one of which is used in Lincoln high's health department. , Another interesting speaker was the doctor who answers the questions sent into Hygeia magazine. He compared the type of questions sent in several years ago with those sent in at the present time. In 1934 the greatest number of questions w as on books, the s econd largest, diet, and third, care of the scalp and hair. In 1934 the largest number is on food, second, on skin. Cancer is tenth on the list and tuberculosis is seventeenth.

Mrs. Lucille Hellmers Returns From. War Scene, Sees Paris Black-out Mrs. Lucille Hellmers, member of the last year's English depart· ment, and her brother, Laurence Lampert, former Links, returned home September 20, after a threem onths tour of Europe. They bicycled through England, Belgium, Holland and Germany and traveled by !.r ain in Switzerland, Italy and France. The ongina l plan "''as to travel on a motor scooter, but the cost·,. of shipping was equivalent to another pa8sage. Mrs. Hellmers and her brother lodged at hostels which are hotels for youth of Europe. In England the hostels are comfortable thatched cottages; in Germany, new beautiful brick buildings called Jungendherbergs and the hostels in Switzerland are lovely chateaus situated in the Alps. To encourage · youth to travel, the cost of a n ight's lodging is very low. In an swer to the question or the Europeans' war f eeling, Mrs. Hellmers replied, "There w as a l·ways ta lk of war, but no one really thought it would m a terialize until the German-Russia n pact w a s sig·ned. I left Paris ahead of the evacuation so I did not see the children leave. I did witness the black-out, h owever, an d it is all that is pictured. All windows a re covered with a thick blue paint or heavily shuttered. ,Most cars are driven w ithout lights, but some of the head lights a re covered with blue paint with only a thin line left to guide the w ay. If any light penetrated through the windows of the houses , the police fined the owners. This r a rely happe113 because the fear of being born bed or gassed is so great that
the French people are quite careful. Gas masks are constant companions of the people when they g o out, but if Paris were gassed, they would not be much protection. As yet the gas masks are not perfected and guard against just tl1ree gases." No train or bus transportation w a s ()ffered from Boulogne to Rotterdam after war was declared, so Mrs. H ellmers and her brother traveled by taxi across Belgium to The N etherlands. The H olland officials wouldn't let the taxi through because it h ad no internationa l license plates. They finally rea ched Rotterdam by a Holland bus just in time to make the boat . Their boat, t he S. S. Statendam, w as crowded with Americans leaving Europe. When the boa t entered the English channel the flag was lowered, the pilot changed for an English one who could direct them safely through, a voiding the mines. E ven '·.hen they were not entirely safe, because the position of the floatiµg mir.es could not be determined. When the Statendam was two days out, an S. O. S. was received from a merchant ship that had bi:.en torpedoed by a German subm:r.rine. When they r eached the ship nothing remained but the lumber which it had been carryfog. The entire crew was picked up. 'fhe captain of the sunken hoat reported that a German officer g:.;'t on and warned them, saying he was sorry, but his or· ders we3·e to sink the ship. He gave them two hours to leave, passed 0 11 : dgarettes and brandy, then depart. d. 0

Annual Music Clini Plans Concluded Twenty pupils from the four advanced music classes, five frvm each, will have the chance to go to the annual music clinic of N e• braska at Beatrice, December 8th and 9th. Lincoln high is sending 10 boys and 10 girls who will form the nucleus of the three voice groups: the boys' chorus, the girls' chorus and the mixed chorus. The g-roups will leave Thursday night and will spend most of the time for the n ext two days in re· hearsing for the concert, the ·cli· max of the convention, to be held Saturday night, December 8. Each singer must pay an entrance fee to cover the cost of sheet music a nd a lso the cost of the banquet '1eld Saturday night. Board and room must be paid for by the singer. Boa rd can be ob• tained at low cost and Singers will probably be sent to homes of Beatrice singers. This proc_e dure was followed at the Kearney clinic last year. Musicians from the advanced instrumental groups will be taken to Beatrice also, but as yet announcements have not been made to them.

Newly Elected Officers Need Student Cooperation Today, a new set of class officers takes office, some with previous experience in student government. and others who . must }earn their duties thru experience. These students are your own representatives and wero chosen by the majority of you. Too many persons think that the position of a class officer is merely 11,ll honorary one. On the eontrary, _the positi.on requires the greatest amount o,f service. Many long hams are pt1t in by tl1ese officers after the rest of the school has gone home. Thes_e students are invested with a certain amount of authority and this aL1thority should be respected: Students, you have put these pupils in office. Now it's yom• responsibility see that they receive your 1itmost co-operation. 'l'he big drawback to our 'present political system is that the group of men elected to serve our country, many times cannot pnt aside their petty grievances long enou11;h to co-operate with one another for th.e good of the country. Don't let this happen to our school. The officers are going to do their best to ruP. the school efficien~ly aud fairly, hut they need your help. Let's all pull together and make this term the best in the history of the school.

Residents of Lincoln May Enjoy Night Football The thud of a football, the smack of player against player, and the cheer of the spectators will echo thru the autumn nights in Lincoln this fall. Instead of toili1ig in the sun, the Links gridsters will meet their opponents uni:ler the lights or the Lincoln oval. They will play on a field as light as day, illumniated by 70-1,500 watt bulbs. · 'l'his plan, the dream of many former Links and now a reality, will enable. business men and e.x;-Links to -follow the fortunes of the team. Heretofore, persons who work during the afternoons have been able to see only the university games. Now they willhave a chance to see Lincoln high's team a.~ well. Night football will offer a recreatio11 in the eve1iing after the softball and baseball seasons have ceased. Persons living near .Lincoln can motor in for the games and many parents will have the opportunity of seeil'1g the team in action for the first time. 'l'he' advantages of night football to the teams are many. Players 11-re relieved ' of the heat of an afternoon ganie and it will give t he teams a chance to fix a _schedule -satisfactory to all, as games can be schedl.lled. withol.~t in· terference with scl10ol classes. 'l'hen too, spectators are not obliged to watch the games with the sun iil their eyes. Night football will be a boost to Tjincoln high and the city of lJincoln as well. Be sure to. attend all of the games.
Many Cars Show R~sults Of 'Jitterbug' Driving The condition and appearance of an automobile commonly refleGts the character · of its O\VMr; but often it symbolizes the traits of carelessness in others. To what else may be ascdbed these battered fenders, dented bodies, torn ht\mpers and bent runnip_g boards'/ It _is this carelessness and indifference, that we wish to combat and rectify through thiseditorial. Hurry-skurry and helter"skelter races the ''jitterbug, '' dashing and slashing i11to tight places, side-swiping the curb. 'rhe -action of iuany drivers, or perhaps we should say wouldbe drivers suggests _that. they care little for their own car and less for some one els~ 's. How can a self-respecting, considerate, thoughtful person swing i:t1t.o the curb, indif~ ferent to defacing another's automobile, as well as_ his own? Oile seldom walks down a busy business street where parking space is at a. premium without hearing the tinny clatter of scraping metal. 'l'his often occurs in backing out. The driver .just keeps on backing till he jerks free from the other car, arid then he jitters along wih.out leaving a clue as to his identity. It is time that we curb this reckless .practices of scraping and running. Cannot each one of us take just a split-seeond longer pro· perly to gauge our distances and avoid this damage tn anothe1·'s property and to our own sense of responsibility~

Toonerville Trolley a Reality According to D elor es · Schwenk er, there is a: Toonerville trolley other than the · one in the comic strip. This trolley runs from Sva .Junction, Michigan, t9 the - Tahquame· non river. It is made _u p of· eight open cars wi th a.n engine 'in the middle. Since the engine is ex· tremely small, the train must - go over steep inclines in shifts. The engine. pushes on-e part ovel' t he incline arid then comes back for the remaining half. The t rain has a normal capacity o! two hundred ' persons, but there are always more cw;tomers. '.!'he ove-r flow sits on the roofs of the cars and dangle their feet over t he side. A speed 0! five_ miles per hour is the limit. As the track runs thru dense forest, occasionaJ deer may be seen. Blueberries and red_ raspberries grow beside the t_rack in abundance. An ambitiou.s person or a berry_ lover may . hop oft the train and p ick a few· berries while the trolley is still .speeding on its way.

This comparatively new writer later lived on an orangf: ranc}:I where s he writes tales ot the people · and their strange C'.JSt oms around this part of Florida.

Old Mexico Destination of Lincoln Students After Visiting Thirty of Our United Stales After having traveled through thirty of these United States in f ormer years, Shirley and Harold Grossman, students of Lincoln hig h school, and their parents visited Old Mexico last summer. At Lar edo, Texas, a tov.11 located on the United States border, they secured the ·necessary identiffcation cards allowing each person. a limited stay in Mexico, and then proceeded to cross the Rio Grande river by bridge. There the Mexican customs officials looked through all of their baggage, seal· ing and okaying it. Mexico City, their destination, was still 960 miles away. The one and only highway is constructed of rocks with a stingy asphalt covering. One can drive 100 miles without seeing a town or a filling station. The four spent their first night and second day in Monterey. This old Spanish town was founded in 1596, and is very picturesque. L eaving Monterey the route runs through the beautiful Huajuco Canyon. Farther along this road one could see corn and sugar
growing country, but there was also much waste land. Some of the houses were made of sticks placed side by side and had thatched roofs. There were houses of clay wit.h tile roofs, for tile is very cheap in Mexico and also the so-called organ houses, with walls of growing cacti that look like organ pipes. Each house has nearby a .cooking shed which has no chimney, nor do any of the hot1ses. Since the Tropic of Cancer had been passed ninety-five miles before Valles, a railroad center, the party spent a h'ectic night in almost unbearable heat. The n ext day they drove on seventy miles to visit a Sunrlay market in Tamazunchale. During the drive they met Mexicans o! all ages with heavy packs on the~r backs. A strap is put around the load and up around the forehead, causing some of the people to be badly bent. Not a hitch hiker was seen. All Mexicans on the road carried large knives for protection against wild anima ls. There are only two classes of Mexicans, the rich and the poor.

The themes for each month begining with October, a re, welcome the freshmen, play the game, celebrate Christmas, go to parties, at the tournament, attend assembly, graduates and go to work. Address all entries to H. V. Church, Secretary, 5835 Kimbark ave., Chica go, Ill.
Schedule of Stainp Club Is Indefinite Arvid Johnson, ·' spon.sur of tl1e stamp club, has not yet decided upon 'the schedule i of meetings. This is his first semester as stamp · club adviser and if there is a club this semester , it depends upon the a ssistance of last year's officers.
Art Cluh in Need Of New l\ilemhers The art club is planning a campaig n to gain new members for the club. The club has dropped considerably in the last two years. A series of programs has been planned for the coming year. Miss Lyda Dell Burry of the University of Nebraska art department w ill give a program on dress design. Terry Townsend, well known artist of Lincoln , will talk on commercial art. At the first meeting the club will discuss the "Booster Campaign" and will be given a test on composition. Pupils interested in art and w ho like good art programs should see Miss Helen Wilson. Turney Sharrar or Roy Erickson about requirements to join the. club. Pupils are asked to bring any pictures they have that are original to 129 any time between 8 :008: 15 or immediately after school. They will be judged and the candidate w ill be notified as soon as a decision has been made.
Lincoln High Atf ected By Second Great War War affected Lincoln high, when Miss Ethel Bryant received a letter from the Walter H. Baker company, stating that "The Shorter Shakespeare, Third Series," was not in ~tock, and that there was difficulty in obtaining these book~, which are made only in England. Since it is impossible to wait, it has been decided that the teachers themselves would obtain paper bound covers, ancl using "The Shorter Shakespeare" as a pattern, would make their own cuts of the plays.
-IN THE CLASSES A major shock came to modern history students in 310 the other day. They learned that their marks would be read aloud every week. Maybe this will spur them on to better effort. A stretch period in every cla,•~ is the. recommendation of the fourth period h ygien e class. The class finds that after a minute or t wo of standing up and stretching they can work so much better! lf each teacher in every class would allow this period of relaxation, the work accomplished afterwar·rls would compensate the loss of study time .. This suggestion WR.S approved by Miss Ethel Murray, hygiene teacher. That the present European. wur really started w ith the Congre~s of Vienna in 1815, is the opinion of Ralph Hansen's fifth period modern history 2 class. rt will t,e remembered that at t he Congress of Vienna the countries were taken from one ruler and g·iven to another for "compensation." Th1s created a t urmoil in Europe frow which it never quite recovered. Then came the World war and afterwards the "Treaty of Versailles" in which Germany W'lS disarmed and t erritory taken from her. Roth's "Contes des Provinces," a book of short stories about E.fe in France, is the present subject of discussion in Mrs. Bernice Tebbetts' French 3 class. Folll'th period American histo;y class of Miss Carrie Roberts shou1d be glad that there is history beiPg made these days. Thursday these pupils evaded a test to hear the P resident's .address to his special session of Congress. Girls are better estimators th:1n boys according to Miss Mamie Short who has conducted in h~r physics 1 class a series of contests in which three boys and three girls each estimate the length of an object, its >olume or its weig·nt. The average of the boys' estimates and girls' estimates are then found and the girls usually come up witil the nearest corTect answer. Current history scrap books is a project in Miss Florence Jenkins' American history 2 class. The s crap books emphasize America's r elationship to the European situ;:i... tion. Because of propaganda in the news, pupils are urged to be dis~ criminating in the labeling of their clippings. Miss Jenkins said that the project is working successfully. Miss Gladys Dana, art teacher , during the first few days of school allowed her elementary design classes to wander a bout the building .drawing interesting objects containing good shadows. Mids Dana has already a fine exhibit of pencil drawings done in the mornings from 8:45 until 11:00.

Secretary of the club is Dorothy Stuart and Betty Jane Ryon is treasurer, while Cassie Tapley is editor. Sponsors of the club this year are Mrs .. L oretta Babich and Miss Blodwen Bynon.
Discussions 1-Ield By W1riters Club Members of the writers club attended the first meeting of the year last Wednesday, discussed "Why I Like to Write" after Jayne Lynn a nd J ane Watkins gave personal views on that subject. Many felt t.hat they wrote for self-expression, prestige or an undefined urge. The chairman, William Bouwsma, suggested that he wrote to help himself think clearly. Members decided to put Hersch.el Webb in charge of purchasing a new gave] to replace the one which so mysteriously disappeared las.t spring. Try-outs started last Thursday and will continue until Friday, Sept. 29. All those desiring membership in the club are u rged to bring their manuscripts with a recommendation from an English teacher to Mis§ Elsie Cather in 204 or Miss Nelie A. Putney in 309.

Their present President is trying to establish a middle class, and has already formed labor unions. Not much has been done about raising wages, but the working hours have been reduced from twenty-tour to eight hours. There are laws requiring c;hildren to go to school, but the Grossmans' witnessed ten year old boys blowing glass in a glass factory. The life span of these boys is,.not more than twenty years, for after that, they contract tuberculosis. bn the ·last stretch through beautiful mountains, into Mexico City, wraps had to be worn. High spots of the capital city were the National Palace, which dates from 1692, the Palace of Fine Arts, the National Pawn Shop, and the Floating (Xochimilco) Gardens, located a few miles out of the city. They are called the Floating· Gardens because of a peculiar kind of tree that holds the land abOve the water, and when or if one of these trees should <iie, the rich soil that the tree holds disappears and water replaces it. The pyramids at San Juan Teotihuacan were also visited.

FORMER LINKS Robert Rausch, Lincoln hii:;h graduate, started a business of his own with the small fairs during the summer mon.ths. He had abont twelve dollars invested in the business. Robert started to · sell snow eones, which was a mixture of chip ice and flavoring. After he went out a few times he thought it was too late in the season tar that type of article, so he finished his business by selling hot dogs. Robert plan11 to enter the University of Nebraska this fall and tal'e a pre-med eour!!e. Lewis Day, ciass of '39, lt'ft Lincoln Sunday night, September 17. He is taking his pre-medic work at Johns Hopkins university in Baltimore, Maryland. Melba Coe, '39, is working for the Downey Insurance company. Wanda Johnson, '39, is employed in the t oll room of the Lincoln Telephone company. Harry Hall, junior, went to Chicago the early pa.rt of last we?.k, planning to stay a week.
Miss Lois Hiatt Predicts New Fashions For Coming Season Miss Marjorie Tye's home economics 4 students had the pleasure · of having Miss Lois Hiatt, dress consultant at Miller & Paine's, tell the class, last Wednesday, about the new fall fashions. Miss Hiatt spent a week and a half in New York last summer and attended the Ames Parrish Fashion clinic where she studied the fashions for the coming year. According to Miss Hiatt, school clothes wi!J be m.a de up of plain and plaid skirts. s w e a t e r s especially "Sloppy Joe's" and other sport clothes, while the "date dress" will be that of grandmother's time with a bustle. The full· ness of the skirt can either bs · made by gathered fullness, gores, or a slight flare. Presses with such fullness in b!!,ck will be straight in front. The usual sleeve length is just below the elbow and one will be able to wear bracelets and four button length ·gloves with this type. Black Leads Color Scheme There are definite colors that will paint the fall color picture this year. First is black with second in importance being fur brown. Spruce green comes next and a mo!!s green which will be very popular. Next is a wine shade. Blue as always will be worn this year and will b,.; comet blue !!-nd viking blue. One thing Miss Hiatt made special note of, was to be sure and wear the right shade of makeup with these colors. The three prominent colors to be used only in accent are military red, moss green, and teal, which is not quite as ·green as last year. Walking Shoes are blunter and wider, while the most popular dress shoe will be pumps, in either suede, alligator or kid. The hosiery will be lighter this fall and most colors keyed to go with brown. Handbags are to be more f eminine and smaller and will match the shoe.s. The gloves will be simpler with the important length being four buttons. Scotch Influence in Hats Hats will be more practical and fit better than before. Some ol the hats will have the Scotch influence. Queen Elizabeth 's wardrobe has been a
definite influence on the
style of evening dress. One type of formal will have drop shoulders with ruffles across the front. tight. bodice and a flared , graceful, full skirt. Another will be the bustle dress, which has the plain front and the bustle which can be taken off. Third type is the formal dinner dress with swE'et heart nec klloo, slightly padded shoulders, small tight waist flaring into a graceful soft sj{irt. The sleeves will be long and tight. After telling how the modern girl of today will dress, Miss Hiatt showed several outfits brought from Miller & Paines, among them being skirts, sweaters, bags, hats, dresses, housecoats and angora. mittens and anklets.
Willard Heuke, former Lincoln high student, got a promotion from carrier-salesman to stereotype a pprentice with the State Journal. Willard is learning the stereotype trade which is making matric~s from the type and casting stereotype .p lates for the big . newMpaper presses, as well as plates used <'fl the Journal job printing department presses. In this dep;irtmeut there i& also electrotyping tror.1 wax plates.
Latin Instructor Teaches With Arm in Sliug · Miss Jessie B. Jury, wher1 stepping out of a car onto a crushed rock driveway, fell and broke her left wrist, September 16. Fort.unately it was not her right arm, so she is able to continue teaching, even though her left arm will have to remain in a sling several weeks.
Lorrin Peterson, class of '39, has j oined the United States army and is s tationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky. After taking an examination he hopes to become a ra<l!o operator at one of the naval bases. Henry P. Brown, former student of Lincoln high a nd now a corporal in the United States army, stationed in Scofield Barracks, has earned recognition as an athlf'te, having won eleven major awar:is in baseball and basketball, according to the Cannoneers Annu,al. He has captained his team in baseball three times· and been. manager of the football t eam one season. He · was recently elected vice-president of the Gunners club.

"We had three air-raid warnings and our protection was in a cellar, which, I think, was the only cellar in a house in London," she laughingly added, "and that was because the house was built by an American." "Supporting the cellar ceiling," she continued in her delightful English accent, "were iron pillars which were to prevent the ceiling from falling, in case a bomb was dropped. All the food packages were made air-tight with adhesive and beds and blanketii we1·e bl'ought down. It was just like "' one-room house and was fixed up to last at least twelve hours. The longest we had to stay was two and a half hours. The attic walls were covered with lime wash to prevent the incendiary from penetrati1J,g. "During the war scare, news was was broadcast every half hour. Because they had been livin~· under ~uch a liigh tension the deto·

It's beginning to fall down." Uniforms worn by all of the girls are a dark green tunic, a light green blouse, black or brown shoes and a black hair ribbon. No · jewelry was allowed to be worn. Studies taken by all girls during the week were Latin, French, algebra, geometry, chemistry, physics, biology and house-craft. The house-craft was one year of "cookery" and one year of "needlework."

Get Penna11ts Sixteen ·Rooms Have Perfect Records Three Weeks Straight Although the school is crowded with new pupils, more home rooms received prompt pennants at the first distribution of the year than for some time, Because so few were tardy, the demand tor the pennants was so great that new ones had to be made. Sixtetm home rooms have the perfect· record of no tardiness so far this semester. They are 105, 107, 109, 117, 120, 141, 203, 204, 205, 212, 226A, 304, 313, 314, Aud. 8, and 9. Home. rooms receiving pennant1 for two weeks .are: 100, 133, 135, 137, 201, 207, 208, 209, 214, 215. 217, 221, 225, 226B, 226C, 227, 302, 305, 307, 31-6, 317, 325, 326A, 3271 and auds. 1, 3, 7, 10, and 11. The home rooms having no tai-· diness for one week are: 101, 102, 103, 121, 125, 130, 140, 220; 303, 309, 310, 400, 401, 402, 403, Aud. 4 and Aud. 5. The members of the student council place the pennants where they will be noticed by anyone entering the room.

SmokingJimt To Be "One·o f Gang" ls Foolish "'Oh, come on, don't be a sissy! . All the :fellows ani.oke." or- "They don't do. yo~ any harm, why. don't ·you try- one." Many parents' get this answer: 1 ' Oh, gee, I bought them with · my own money. Why al1 th~ :fellows smoke and you've got to do it to be: one o:f the gang." Thus the smoking problem jg represent"ed by 1onie young persons: Smoking weeds or :fags, as they are .qommoilly called, is supposed to show qualitie!l o:f manliness. Not to smoke is to be :branded a ''sissy!' Motlt of these statements are pure farces. First, what q'ual~ty of man1ihess does it show to droop :about with a .cigarette danglin g from. your lips. Wpy of eourse you all enjoy that pretty yellow stain on yom fingers and that pl.;asz.l.I :.: NlOl' on .your. b reat.h. Secondly, -would you brand the_ football team ''sissies'' ~ The
n.:..:J.jority of them do ncit l\Se tobacco. A11d too, Coach Beechner forb ids its nse during football season and. recommends that high 1chool students leave it alone. T_h e university also forbids it during trliining ·p eriod. The school board prohibits the use . of tobacco on the high school grounds by 1.1,ny hig-h school atud~nts._
Third, all this talk .a bout it not hurting you.- Of course _if your aim in- life is to end :up with a. li~p arid coU.gh-·-··-. Tobacco ha~ a narcotic property, . nicotine, whieli' is very harmful. Nicotine is very -poisonous and if taken .in pure f orm will cause seven illnel!S and even death. It _has been p-roved that nicot ine is injurious to the lungs and thus tends to shorten a person's win.!. Also it is harmful to digestion: and irtitating to the throat. Ont..side -of all this, of com'Ml, cigarettes are per~ fectly hatmless. And fourth, careful study will show the effects ·of tobacco. Young people who smoke brand themselves as merely ignorant and are t o be pitied. There is no such · situation th1,1t requires anyone to smoke to be in style. The only young people who smoke are those who wish to seem grown up and do not realize that "instead, they.are making themselves seem ridiculous. · They are merely playing ''follow the leader" with the group who think smoking is 1mart._· · And lastly, the cost of smoking must be taken into consideration. No high 11chool student can afford to. smoke. True.. they cost only 12¥2 cents a pack but if you smoke only 3 packs a week, most steady !Jrnokers use more, this will cost 37% cents or $1.50 a moil.th. 'l'his is $18 8. year, and who can afford that 1 So don't be led into a practice that will do' you only ha.rm. Have backbone enough to say, "No, thanks, I don't smoke. ''
TrWJ,s and Tribulations Of New Students Lem 'me see, "number -312 " . Yep,- that 's it, 312, Spanish. :Boy! ·I b,ope I can find it in this :mob.

This stairway goes up but where is 312 Y There's 311, 312 must be nex t door, but how do I get. on that side of the half'? There goes a couragoous fellow across, say! . bigolly he made it. If he can do it l can- I hope~ Here goes. ' I'm halfway across and goiug swell. I '11 bet this is the way they ·train their football players--" Hey lookout! " - there goes my pencil on the floor and not even a thin person could bend over_ in th~ crowd. I might as well f ollow the pencil. OH! I almost had it that · time, but somebody kicked ·it again. . Gee ~hiZ, I must be on the other side of the building by now, but there cometi room 312 ; I'd bett~i' grab the door knob when I go by. One, two, three! I made it, but I don 't hive :my pencil, it's :probably down taking :physiMl education about now. Oh well, I found 312 and I didn't like .t hat penc.iJ aB;;,huw.- 0:Very much."

BETWEEN THE COVERS Negro singers were recently brought to the limelight when Marion Anderson was denied permisl[lion to give a concert in a hall owned by the Daughters of the A merican Revolution in Washington, D .

New Stt1dents Enter School l..oud Speaker And Air Conditioning Are Features One Misses~ Several students from long distances who entered Lincoln high for the first time this fall find much to commend here, but ·miss many features of their former .wchools. From Ogd.in, Utah, comes Ruth Staffo!'.d, a junior, tellinJi:" of a. brancl new building erected just last year. "It's built along very modern lines and is larger than Lincoln high though it has about half as many students," said Ruth. "Instead of sending call slips around to the rooms as you do here, a loud speaker system has been installed . in the office. When a person is wanted in the office the prindpal or whoever calls, speaks through a microphone and it is broadcast into the room. On top of . all that the building is. air conditioned." Texas Student Enters L. H. S . Jennie Frazee, a former student at Breckenridge high school in San Antonio, Texas, entered Lincoln high as a sophomore this fall. At Breckenridge there are six periods a day. However, a senior, up on his studies, m ay go home .t he last period. The s chool is a three y ear hig h school start ing with the nint h gra de and ending with the eleventh. Jean Watson, from Medford h igh 1chool, in Oregon, en tered Lincoln high as a junior this year. "If I h a d stayed in Medford I could ha ve g raduated n ext spring," .she commented, "because if you wor k hard they will a llow you to t a ke three s em esters work dur ing the time it ordinarily takes for two sem est ers."

London Children, Study Road Rules
Dr. Patterson Speak~s Here
Rules of the road are taught early to the children of Tottenham, suburb of London. The playground of these children is a specially design e d three-quarters-of-a-mile stretch of .model highway. This highw ay., equippe d w ith tr affic lights, belisha beacons and pedestrian crossings, is just a simple form of ABC's to them and develops road sense in a child when he is old enough to remember and young enough to lear n. '!'he man responsible for this is G. E. Paris, superintendent of parks for Tottenham. He design ed the model highw ay for children in Lordship Recreation ground, Child roa d casualties.have dropped nea rly half, and he attributes the change to the road sense children learn under this sch eme. The childr en are allow ed to ride their vehicles free of charge, and if they do n ot own a car or bicycle there a re thirty cars and eighteen bicycles a nd tricy cles for ren t a t a half-penny an hour.

Two Former Students Give Vocal Selections At Double Assembly Dr. Charles Patterson of the University of Nebraska addressed the two assembly groups on the subject of "Right and Wrong." Be· fore his speech several vocal se~ lections were given by Miss Louise Stapleton, to group 'A' Wednesday, and by Nate Holman to group 'B," Thursday. Right, Wrong Tests SuggeSted. Dr. Patterson gave four tests for telling right from wrong. ' He said that good is the healthy thing; bad, the unhealthy, and that the laws of health are ·the laws of nature and therefore universal. "No one can break the laws o! n ature and escape the ·conse· ' quences," he stated. In sportsmanship, which is a. t es t, the p erson who is unwilling to f ollow the rules he wants others to follow is the poor sport. Another test f or telling right from wrong is that the person who does that which is wrong wants to conceal that which he is doing fr om oth ers. Wrong Doing Is Foolish. I n speaking- of the test, intelligen ce, Dr . P atterson stated it in the sla ng exp ression, "Don't be silly.'' He sa id t hat to surrender opportunities to develop the mind or to g ive up your reputation for pleasure of s hort endurance· is fool· ish. I n conclusion he spoke of looking ahead a nd seeing that your old age is happy a nd secur e. Before introducing the speaker H. C. Mar dis g-ave instructions regarding em ergency exits. ·'

Two courageous, attractive girls. Katherine Elliott and Marjorie Alexander, enrolled in Miss Ethel Murray's first period hygiene class last Tuesd<tiY morning. Both girls have been home bound for several years because of a physical disability and have studied at home under the supervision of ·Mrs. Hayden Hughes, home bound teacher. They are unable to walk with· out help so two of the boys in the second period class assist them. They help them to the car after first period. Marjorie has been home bound since sixth grade due to a heart disorder and Katherine was afflicted with infantile paralysis. The girls are thrilled and happy, according to Miss Sarah T. Muir, about this new experience of going to sch ool. Marjorie has a brother, James Alexander, who is a junior this year. at Lincoln high school " One of my dreams had come true when I. was told that I could enter school last week. I have seen m a ny former classmates of the .h ome bound s chool since I have entered Lincoln high school. It is a g rea t privilege to be able t o be in this class.

Cherry and Gray _Will Travel to Lincoln for Second Night Tilt of 1 ~39 Pigskin Season
With the thoughts of victory still in their minds, the Cherry and Grey of Scottsbluff invade the stronghold of the Red and Black Friday evening after decisive victories over Greeley, Colorado, and Torrington, Wyoming. The "Bearcats" will take the field against the Links with 10 lettermen in the starting lineup. Missing from this year's Scottsbluff team will be Eldon Gueck, 185 pound fullback, and Sam Neeley, twice all state halfback from last year's team. Links Heavier. In the matter of wetgnt the Red and Black wil claim an eight pound advantage per man, although Hooper, 242 pound left tackle, brings up the line average considerably. In the backfield the Links will be 25 pounds superioi·. Prospects Good. Prospects for a good season are excellent at Scottsbluff and enthusiasm is running high. The Bearcats are playing one of the toughest schedules in the state as are the Links. The toughest games !or the westerners will undoubtedly be the Lincoln, North Platte and Cheyenne, Wyom'ing, games. Veteran Night Players. While Lincoln is in its first year of night football Scottsbluff has had about ten years of football under the lights. If this experience means anything, Lincoln high is in for one of its toughest games in recent years and the victor of this game may well be the Nebraska state champion& for 1939.

.Football Season ls Busy Time For Hutton Wray Hutton Wray, equipment manager for Lincoln high, is one of the busiest men on the campus. Besides checking out baskets for clothes to all the sports classes during the day, he ·a lso issues equipment and baskets to approximately 100 football players. He has charge of all the equipment, including the medicine and tape, for which there is a great demant during a football season.

Reserve 'A' Squad Defeats 'B', 7-0 Scoring on the seven th play of the first quarter, th e reserve "A "' squad edged out a 7 to 0 victory over the "B" squad Thursday aft ernoon . Playing in the oval, the "A" squad scored soon after th6 kickoff. Hawkins skirted right end fer 15 yards. One plunge and a pa;;s from Chapin lo Hawkins was good for 13 yards. Two reverses a nd a pass put the ba ll on the 1 yard 1ine from where Chapin crashed over for the only score. He then threw a strike to Wismer on a reverse for the extra point. Seconds Resist. After that a s t ubborn "B" squad defense put a damper on all other scoring threats. The second quarter was lusterless except for White's blocking of Salisbury's kick , which was nullified by a penalty. The remainder of the game was a see-saw back and forth with the exception of an "A" squad threat late in tbe fourth quarter. A series of plunges carried the ball to the 1 yard line but a fumble cost them a score. Outstanding in the game was Vance Salisbur y 's ball carrying and fine defensive work in backing up the seconds line. Healy's defensive work was also good. Klein, White and H awkins were outstanding for t he "A" squad with Wismer's. kicking a standout .

First Meet for Diver; Takes Third Place That old adage, "P ractice makes perfect," was proved this summer at the swimming meet held at Camp Minis Kuya. The day before the meet William Ingles, junior, decided he wanted to place in the diving. T he fact t hat he had never dived before did n ot stop him. He started to practice, and for a whole day did nothing but dive, until bystanders wondered what he was made of. The meet finally came off and after some fairly nice dives, "Bill got hot." He pulled off a perfect one and a h a lf, and after that no one could stop him. Bill finished t hir d behind Roger Moore w ho took second and Dale Myers, first.
Sports Chatter While shivering in the cold of football practice the other evening some players watching the game built a fire on the field with hopes to keep warm, but their h opes were stunt ed when Beechner made them put it out. During the game a player got a cramp in the s tomach which caused a yery painful ache. When asked by Coach :Mueller what he h ad for s u pper the moaning player replied, "plenty," which w as probably the reason for the pain. Former L incoln high students saw active scrimmage on the Nebraska frosh team T uesday afternoon, September 27. Fred Metheny, last year's Lincoln h igh star, was in the starting backfield. Another former Links, Bob Sauer, was stationed at the cent er post. Eugene Irick, last year's all-state guard from Lincoln high was also seen on the first eleven. The frosh scrimmaged against the varsity eleven a good share of the afternoon. The frosh team is expecting big things from these Lincoln high candidates.
Bob Johnson, a guard on the L incoln r eserve football team, has been out of practice because of a broken nose received while playing against Lincoln high first team last Tuesday.
Fall Track Is New Lincoln Idea Candidates for the Lincoln high track team and the new traclt mentor, Joe Toman, held a brief meeting in the gymnasium September 25 during which T oman spoke g enerally on the track situation at Lincoln high. Fall track, an innovation at Lincoln h igh, should prove an invaluable asset to the state championship team, Toman asserted, and a ll boys interested in the sport should take a.dvantage of this as a limbering-up period, a preliminary to the more strenuous winter wor k. Toman a lso made clear the point t hat track is not merely for t he privileged, talented few, but a sport where three and even four men can be used successfully at <llle p osit ion. Last year's letter·men will be assigned small groups of five or six boys to coach and to watch their general progress.

Welch was referred to as a
"strike-breaker" because he hailed from another state.

Need of Driver Education Felt in Lincoln High For years, boys and girls look forward to the day when they are sixteen and Gan get their "drivers' li•~enses ". The traffic law of Lincoln states nowever, that it is unlawful for a person u~1der the age of sixteen to drive and that he must have a driver's license iri order to drive lawfully. Many young persons are thus denied the privilege of driving for quite some time. Then, too, many others s1ip through their examinations without knowing many of the real driving rules and how to cope with problems with which they may come face to face while at the wheel. The required driving to pass the test cannot bring out many of. the problems of traffic and thus tur~s loose irr~ -sponsible driYers to make a bigger traffic hazard. To provide a better trained grnup of drivnur co un t n ·, we nre rl t o give them exnericw ~ hefo:~e we tum them loo-se as licensed

drivers. Manv states now have a plan of safety education. which is taught in the high schools. In Illinois alone, over 600 schools now offer elective courses in driver education and training. These schools sponsor courses which are taught by experienced drivers who give the students first hand information about driving. In 38 othe1· schools in Illinois, duo-control cars are furnished to give the students actual experience in traffic conditions. In order to have such a plan in Lincoln high, it would be necessary to hire another teacher and furnish another classroom. There would be also the problem of the cost of the cars and their upkeep. Nevertheless, the problem has been given considerable consideration. A new class room could be fixed up in a welllighted corner of the basement and an instructor hired for two or three times a week, if money were available. There is a ''crying'' need for such a class in Lincoln high and it would be of much benefit to the students and residents of Lincoln. After completing a course of this kind, the young drivers would be able to handle a car in most emergencies. The day this class is put into effect will be a "red letter" day for Lincoln.

"Dutch Dates" Solution To Boys' Feeble Finances "Dutch dates" should go over with success in Lincoln high. Many of the boys who support themselves or receive small incomes can~ not afford ''dates'' but would like to have them. Because of these financial conditions, a number of girls miss out on the good times they otherwise would be having. This situation can easily be remedied by the girls paying their own way. Activity tickets are a good opportunity to start "Dutch dates." Matinee parties are also. Don't be offended if you are asked for a ''Dutch date" this week-end. Accept and find out how much fun you will have. Mr

Miss Leavitt Gives Fashion Tall~ to Club Darling Shop Presents Style Show Modeled By Four Lincoln High School Students A style show by the Darling Shop, using four Lincoln high students as .models, was the feature of the second meeting of the home ·economics club meeting Monday. Miss Evelyn Leavitt, who was graduated from Lincoln high two years ago and is now in the University here, presented the show with the aid of Jerry Oppenheim, manager· of the store. The four girls chosen to model were Jeannette Bolar, Martha Cook, Joyce Junge and Phyllis Robinson. Object of the fashion parade was to show what the smart girls are ·wearing this fall and it began with a light weight wool dress in grey with a peter-pan collar. It had a suggestion of a bustle and was followed by several more dresses suitable for 1School. Velvet 'Date' Dresses Shown. "Date dresses" have got away from the idea they should be frilly and are more sport y. Several of these frocks were shown in velvet with different colored trimmings to give them an added warmth in color. Several coats with box shoulders were shown while the last were two formal dresses, one being a strapless gown. After the sho;wing of these garments Miss Leavitt closed her talk by giving a few a dded facts about winter fashions. Everything is to be fitted through the waist while skirts are going to be full and have about twenty-two pleats. At the close of the fashion show Helen Christopulos, president of the club, announced that the next meeting is to be a picnic in Antelope park.
Students Consume Many Sandwiches Sanawlches consumed daily in Lincoln high's cafeteria number 180, Mrs. Helen Pierce said in a recent interview. Of the four kinds of sandwiches served, cheese, toasted cheese, meat and peanut butter, the meat sandwiches seem to be the best Ii ked. Twelve pul Ima'. loaves of bread and two pounds of butter are requ ired to make them. Potato salad ranks number one in tlie salads. In the des serts Mrs. Pierce said, crearl" pie and chocolate cake are the most popular. The combination of peas and carrots lead the vegetables, with corn, a close second.
ROBBINS (Continued from P age 1.) had successfully concealed a pistol while being serached, secr·etly 8tuck the muzzle in Robbins' stomach and pulled the trigg~r. Once, twice- five times the trigger was pulled before Robbins managed to hit the holdup man on the head. The bandit fell from the car but in doing so .he threw the gun at the officer and hit him in the face, barely missing his eye. For the moment this one bandit escaped. However Robbins succeeded in taking the other two men to headquarters. By the next morning all four were in jail. One proved his innocence, but t wo of them received t en years a piece and the third r eceived a sentence of fifteen eyars, an additional year for every time he pulled the. trigger. Later the pistol was found. De· tective Robbins took the gun in to the firing range and pulled the trigger. This time it fired! He told of the case in which the Marshall boy was killed. In this case he and his partner chased the outlaws in a police car. They cha' 'd the crooks from Fourteenth and 0 streets to Prairie Home where a tire was shot off the bandit car, which overtur1v~d. Here one of the bandits was killed and the other two captured. Between Fourteenth and 0 111treets and Prairie Home the two cars exchanged shots freely. One of the shots fired from the bandit car at Twenty-seventh and 0 streets, struck and killed the Marshall boy who was on the sidewalk at about Twenty-fourth and 0. Two bullet holes seven inches apart in the window of the police car were found later. One bullet went to one side of Robbins head, the other bullet to the other!

Miss Jennie Piper Visits Newly Restored Williamsburg, Virginia Colonial Leader Williamsburg, Virginia, which has been recently restored, was most interesting to Miss Jennie Piper, history teacher, on a recent trip south. The ,.restorat ion of colonial Williamsburg was undertaken by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. as an endeavor to restore accurately and to · preserve for all time the most significant portions o! a historic and important city of America's colonial h istory. Williamsburg was the capital of Virginia from 1699 to 1779 and was center of leadership and influence in the colony in the period preceding the American revolution. The restoration is an educational un dertaking and it is carried on with the utmost authenticity. Up to the present time, sixty-eight colonial buildings have been rebuilt. Five hundred and fourteen modern buildings have been torn down; thirty-three shops and stores h ave been erected tO provide a suitable business district and a number of old gardens have been restored . T he buildings are being used, the houses are lived in and Williams and Mary college, second oldest in the U. S., receives students from ai'l parts of the country. A visitor buys a ticket for $1.50 which enables him to visit

Barney Oldfield Is Guest of Club Bar;1ey Oldfield was the guest speaker at the open meeting of the Round Table on October 5. Questions were submitted to Mr. Oldfield who answered them as best he could. When asked what stars he had met and liked the best his answer was, "Clark Gable, w ho is such a natural fell ow an d Tyrone Powers because of his fire-ball personality ; a lso Maureen O'Sullivan and Marjorie Weaver because of their ·charming off scr een personalities." Another question was what he thought to be the best picture of tthe year. His reply was, "Goodbye Mr. Chips." Mr. Oldfield mentioned that about twenty-six a.ctors faced the problem of going back to Europe with reserve commissions . David Niven is planning to fly back to England October 10, while Charles Boyer, who 'ras making a picture in France wh'en ~':le war broke out, is now a staff official in the Maginot line. Mr. Oldfield finished his t alk by telling of a fifteen minute program "Sv:ing Session" that he plans to share with B etty Backman, Nebraska university junior, which will concern the happenings about the campus and Lincoln high schools. The meting came · to a close when Bob Frampton, president, announced plans f or a party for members on October 19.
English 13 Holds First Discussions The first round of debates in English 18 took place last week using for a subject the state question : resolved, that the federal government should own and operate the r ailroads of the U:r:ited States. Between sixteen and eighteen pupils partieipated in the debate. A ccording to class vote on Friday, including that of Gerald K vasnicka, t he best team was : Frank O'Connell and Robert Chambers, receiving six points. Second place was tied for by the t e am of Marjorie Rollins and Billy B ouwsma a nd the team of Virginia Ford and Robert Dewey, both teams receiving five and onehalf points apiece.
Chemisll·y Cl uh Dropped •t The chemistry club will not organize .this semester, or at least not until enough students ask for it, it was revealed by Miss Mariel Gere Friday.
five int eresting places : The capital, the governor's palace, the jail, the Raleigh Tavern, a forme r private home, and the Ludwell Paradise house. All were rebuilt except the private home and it, was so soundly built and little altered that there was little work done to restore it. In each one of these p laces there is a hostess in char ge, dressed in colonial costume who takes t he visitors through the building. These hostesse11 are taken to their buildings in an old colonial coach every morning at nine o'clock. The coach is drawn by t wo beautiful black horses driven by a negro coachman and a footman who opens the door and assists the ladies, There is one restored h ome where food is served in the colonial manner, th.e kind of food that Washington, Jefferson and Patrick Henry liked when they came to Williamsburg. Mr. Rockefeller had students at work for years bot h here and in England looking up old records to be sure that everything is just as it was in colonial times. In the library in the governor's palace, the books are the same editions as those t hat were there before the palace burned and every book listed in the governor's list has been replaced.

The weather Miss Rokahr
described a s perfect for it was never too hot or too cold. After her six weeks of study was over Miss Rokahr, her sister and Miss Wible tour ed the country by car. A typical Mexican town visit ed was Palsborough. It is an old Spanish village which dates bac k to when t he Spanish first ca me to Mexico. The majority of the homes are one story patio style, with red tile roofs. The narrow crooked s treets are paved wi t h cobblestone. In the rPnte r of. th~ b u~iness district t he plaza is located. He re all the wares from groceries to pottery ar e s old on market day. Another interesting custom is the Thursday n igh t promenade. All the Mexican boys and gir ls go d own own on Thursday n ight and parade the s treets, the goal being for the boys to choose a , girl they would like to go with. They rarely speak until they find t he right girl. .W hen this happens, the boy follows her, and if he suits, she invites him to her home, thus a beautiful friendship is formed, The next meeting of travel club is October 23, in room 135. Miss Rokahr will continue telling a bout strange Mexican customs. All students interested are invited.

Most of her art s t udents, Miss Wilson believes, will follow this avenue if they regard art as a profession and not as a hobby. Miss Wilson asserts that most of the work of her pupils is done in pastel and water colors of still-life s t atuary. The most difficult thing for beginners in the field of art is the mastery of the elements of drawing,

He showed his pigeons especially to Miss Lucy Geiger's third period biology class of Which he. is a member. "I started with just ordinary barn pigeons' but now I have thirty-six homing pigeons. All but about 1,'our of these I raised my· .eelf," continued Harold. Eight pigeons were entered at tlre state fair from this lot. Harold won three first prizes and a 1econd on his entries. Two of the pigeons were to take a trial flight from Lincoln high after the lunch period. _Before lunch Harold had already let a pair loose. Taking the. r ema.ining pigeons to the window he threw them out, such as one would a ball. These pigeons then took' to their homeward flight.

Blocked Kick Proves Margin of Victory for Subs; final Score 2-0 Eking out a victory by the margin of a safety, the reserves seconds defeated the reserves .first squad 2 to 0 on Municipal field, Thursday afternoon. In a hard fought battle marked by rugged defensive play by both squads, the seconds chalked up the only s core of the game late in the first half when John Goe mlocked Dale Wismer's punt, which then rolled over the goal and out of bounds for an automatic ·safety. Try Aerial Attack. The. "A" squad was able to gain consistently only_ on its pass combination of Chapin to Bottorff, who clicked for five passes of 10 . to 25 yards each. All first team threats in third and fourth quarters were either nullified by penalties or fumbles. Late in the third quarter, the "A" squad started to move on a combination of passes and erid sweeps which took it to the secondi;' 10 yard line. Then Dean smeared Chapin for a 15 yard loss and a fumble cost 10 more. Blocking Weak. Coach Toman expressed dissatisfaction with the blocking on the part of both teams and their in· a _bility to gain yards on line plays. However defensive work was good and "".ill cause trouble for some of the reserves' opponents this season. . Outstanding defensive work was shown on the part of Bob Dean, a "B" squad guard, who was in on play after play. Fine work was shown also by Salisbury, Bergsten, Crawford and Hall.

Sports Chatter In the September 27 issue of the Advocate was mentioned the fact of a posible n ational football record for L incoln high, but the weekly magazine, "Life," comes up with a high school team in Massillon, Ohio, that has won four consecutive championships. This is one more than the record Lincoln high is shooting for. What is it that Mr. Nevin has up his sleeve for the band and the baton twirlers? It's something f or the Sioux City game. Come to t he Sioux City game and find out what surprise the band and baton twirlers have. James Townsend entered Lincoln high this fall semester from Bethany high. He is playing football for Lincoln A squad and also played football with Bethany high. Bob Gillaspie, starting end on the football team, was out tempora~ily because of a black eye. Although it is a slight bruise he is watching it very closely. Elmer Kehm, tackle on Coach Beechner 's football team, is probably the most improved p layer on the team. Kehm has gained a little weight this' summ er, a nd he has been blocking and tackling much harder than last yea-r. El· mer has gained speed and experience and he will be well worth watching this season. Bill Jennings, better known ~s "Willie," as an all-around athlete, is unsurpassed. He is one of ~ne few boys in the history of American Legion junior league baseball ever to make a mythical. "ali• state" team three years in a row; having another year to play an·i a good chance of making it four. F or the past two years he has been on Lincoln high's baseball nine. He has called signals for the football team, having lettered last year. B esides this, he holds down the forward position on the bas· ketball five, being a letterman in that also. Former Lincoln h igh lettermen to the number of seventeen hold down positions on the Nebraska varsity which numbers fifty-nine players. Omaha is second with thirteen and Gra nd Island is third with nine.

Hare and · Hound Race Ne'tt Idea 1
One of a series of hare and hound races was run October 5 by the fall track ·team. Two of last year's letter men went ahead and marked a trail through Antelope park by d ropping pieces of paper as markers. The object of the game was to 'follow trail until a white sack was found. The person w ho was first to find the sack received twenty points. At a distance of not more than 150 yards frc •. t the sack the letter men lay in hiding. The first person to see them and catch them before t hey reached the gymnasium received twenty pints. After the sack had been found a ll who wanted to could return and receive points according to t he or der they came in . At end of each game the two boys who had largest total of points are tra il markers or Ha.res the· following week. This Hare and Hound race will continue through this fall as long ag the weather permits.

Bearcats A.t tack. Undaunted, t he Bearcats began a march of their own. Van Decar, Scottsbluff halfback, got off a beautiful 75 yard punt which rolled out of bounds on the Links 10 yard line. D ebus booted the ball back to the Links 38 and the Bearca.ts began to click. Larry Baumgaertel threw a strike to H eyde for 17 yards and a fir st down. Van Decar t ··ied t he end ·for a slight gain and the B aumgaertel rifled another pass, this time to Hannah for another first in 10 on the Lincoln one. Wright then tried the middle of the Lincoln line, but was short by inches. On the next play however Wright crashed over to put the Bearcats back in the ball game 6 to 3. L.inks Retaliate.

Student Council Holds Convention In Ponca City ''Emma Seifert and I were the very first of the delegates to ar· rive," stated Virginia Ford in reference to the student council regional convention, which took place jn Ponca City, Oklahoma, from Thursday evening to Saturday noon, October 12-14. .Delegates were present from Nepraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa and Arkansas. "The Thursday evening program consisted of a play entitled 'She Stoors to · Conquer,' which took place · in the Ponca City high school auditorium, for which the cast was chosen from any in . the school who wished to try out. ''The play was exceptionally well ar _ted and, as a. whole, was very w.i'ill received," Virginia said. •After the play we went to our rooms in private homes. The boys, for whom rooms were not a.vailable, stayed at the fire depart:rnent." Friday morning, the delegates convened in a general meeting in the auditorium for the sole pt1r· pose of discussing the student council as a whole. After lunch, special sectional meetings were held, where individual topics, such as finance, good citizenship and the handbook were discussed.

Students Hear Safetv l.1aws For-Bicvcles Lieutenant Bennett, Traffic Supervisor, Speaks at Double Assembly Thursday Lieutenant Richard Bennett, head of the traffic division of the Lin coln police force, spoke to assembly groups A and B, Thursday. He explained the new bicycle ordinance, which is to go into effect next month, and t old the requirements oi' this law . Lieutenant Bennett and Se!!lgeant Knadle_ also of the police force, were introduced by Constance McCauley of the student council. Bicycle Ordinance Helpful. .. Bennett explained that this or, dinance would eliminate thefts and protect bicyc_le owners. Last year six hundr ed bicycles were stolen which is an average of about two bicycles a day. The bi· cycles now are going to have a license plate six by two and a fourth inches which will resemble car licenses, only on a small scale. These w ill- be put on by the· police department. If traffic mies are violated warning tickets· will be given and if several tickets are given to a person, he w ill be or·der·ed to appear in court and the judge will have the power to suspend licenses, p lace a fine, or have the bicycle taken away fr.o m the the owner :for a period not to ex· ceed six m onths. Riding· double and riding on the sidewalks of the downtown disc tricts are prohibited under the new ordinance. Also every bicycle must have brakes .and be in good mechanical condition and s hould be equipped with a rear fender, have a head light with a w hite light pointing straight ahead and a reflector two inches· or · more in diameter. Tests To Be Held Here. Pupils may have their bicycles tested at the h igh school. There will be a twenty-five cent license f.oo.
The local pullt:e ;:;Lat!Ol• w Ji!

Screams, a Dagger, a Brown Envelope, Just Portion of "Blood Money" Thrills A brown envelope, sudden darkness, a scream, a dagger, -all this and much more wi.11 ·keep the people on the edges of their seats at the Mummers' play, "Blood
Money". And what's this? Another peek at the _ script .discloses two persons, adrift at sell, in a small boat; mysterious radio messages and a furtive figure lurking be· hind the cabin door of a yacht. Every glance at the script of this play discloses more and more of the thrills and excitement that await the audiences of November 3 and 4. Late hours mean little to the members of the tentative cast that is rtow under rehearsal. Their families by now have .accustomed themselves to the fact that their son or daughter· will not get home until 5:30 or 6:00 o'clock, However their hard work is not in vain, for alrell.dy the first and
second acts have taken definite shape. All those involved in renearsa.ls say that from what they saw the play Is one of the· best the Mummers have ever put on. C. E . E vans is already working on the scenery for the play. The yacht scene will be new to the school. At the regular Mummers meeting, Thursday, it was suggested that part of t he net proceeds be given over to help buy new band uniforms instea\! of giving it all to the student emergency fund. H. ·c. Mardis was consulted and then a special meeting was called Friday to vote on the issue.

Mail orders are now being received and should be addressed · to the Lincoln high au-

Advocate Owes Fine Pholographs To Leslie McAdams, Former Links F r om the roof of Lincoln high school, Leslie McAdams, former Lincoln high s tudent , took t he p icture of ~he Scottsbluff band which appeared in last week's Ad· v acate. In order to take the_ picture it was necessary to climb out of a third story window and onto t he .roof. Taking up the Advocate which had been sent to him he pointed to the picture and said, "It turned out better than I t h ought it would. I think I'll send it to the Agfa film company." McAdams is a free-lance photographer _a nd spends most of his time taking pictures. He sends some of Ms unusual pictures in to th_e Associat ed Press which later sends them to magazines or use:; them in its own papers. He · uses a regular newsman's camera which is a four by five
speed graphic and is just like a. large candid ca mera. An unusual p icture of a high school football · game might sell to a local paper for $2,50, w hile an ext raordinary shot , such as an airplane crash, might bring in as much as $25.00. P ulling open a drawer he t ook out a J;iandful .of negatives and hurriedly hunted for a pictur e he had ta.ken of the auto races. The first picture sho'Wed two racers crashing together. The second showed the driver of the car lying on the ground with a fractured skull. "I didn't send those in because they were too horrible to look at," he said. "Those negatives are about a four-weeks accumulation," he commented, pointing to the drawet• chuck full of old prints. " You can imagine what you would get in a year. T hose that aren't used a re sold for six cents a pound."

Good Citizenship ls Emphasized In Council Meeting Many factors ent ered · into the discussion of good citizen ship which t ook most of the time at the student council meeting Wed• !J.esday . R espect for p roper ty is emphasized. The · school is in a g ood c.ondition now. The walls in the en tire school have been w ashed recently for the first t ime in ma ny years. The custodians clea n t he halls ever y night and desks a r e . kept in good s hape. If due re· s pect of t he building is paid, t houghtless a ct s that will destroy the condition of the sch ool, will be abandoned, The s t udent council a s a whole agree tha t destruction to walls and desks. are a cts of thoughtless· ness, w h ich could be overcome. Some students that a re n ervously inclined a r e likely unconsciously to pick a t a desk with a compass point and not rea lize until da m · age is done w hat t hey were r eally doing. Respect for authority a nd respon sibility to other s as well as yourself is also a m a rk of good citizenship, was a conclusion d rawn by the council. Students should be p roud of Lincoln hig h · school and in t his p ride boost the bea uty of t he school by h elping t o keep it clean.

Americans Enjoy Privileges Unknown in Europe While all Europe is ablaze with a second world war, with children being evacuated from cities and schools, with young men trom sev· enteen on learning the rudiments of war, boys and girls in the United States have freedom and privileges unknown to the young , people of Europe. We can play football, baseball, and track;. attend the movies, and attend school. Many times we do not appreciate the priv· ilege of attending school. We feel that it is an imposition to make us go to school. ],3ut compare our opportunities with t hose of boys arid girls in Europe. The girls spend most of the day helping make bandages and the older ones learning to do men's jobs in the :factories. The boys help build bomb-proof shelters a;1d learn what to do during an air raid. Childr en march to school with gas masks slung over their ghoulders; with their minds filled with warn· ings and cautions. At night t here is no music and gay lights ; no movies or dances to attend. EYen automobiles cannot be driven more than absolutely necessary. The towns are blacked out; nmsie and public gatherings are for bidden because t hey create a target for enemy bombers. Food and gasoline are limited and only those with ur,gent business may drive a car any distance. Contrast this situation with the life of comparative safet y we have he-re in America: Dur· ing the day, we can-enrich our minds and pre~ pare for· our life vocations in ·scho~l. After school, clubs, athletics and free t ime beckon to us. On ·week -ends there are radios, movies, and dances to .attend. Many students do not realize that when they skip school or take a prejudiced attitude toward it, they are hurting themselves more than &nyone else. With so many unemployed in our country, every~ne must make the fullest oppor tunity of his chance for education. So don 't feel sorry for yourself but remem-· ber how lucky you r eally are. We don 't live under a shadow in America ; we 're in the sun.

Bicycle Safety Laws Will Improve Traffic Conditions A serious problem has existed in L incoln for aorne time. This has to do wit],1 cyclists who ~ndanger pedestrians in cr owded districts downtown and are a. traffic problem everywhere. The city council has now passed an ordinance prohibiting ''bike ' ' riding in certain districts and requiring a license ior every bicycle. Many students £eel that it is a waste of time and money. to require licenses. However th!! police depar tment believes that these lice!).ses will do "worlds of good" and statistics back them up. Denver , Colorado, has required bicyele licenses for several years which re· quires registering t hem at a cost of 50 cents. This has reduced t he number of.bicycles stole'n yearly by as much as 80 per cent. Many other cities now have r igid laws.,.oncerninr cyclists, The police department will t ab the trouble to visit the schools in order to register these bicycles. When t hey are taking all t his trouble, the l east t he riders can do is to cooperate with t hem. It will help the most to stamp out needless accidents if you do your part to help the police department. It's you they'r e trying t o help. 'l'hey gamer no revenue off the license$ or registration. All this is for your protection. With your assistance bicycle accident~ can be greatly l;'ed"Ueed in Lincoln. I

To t he Editor : In the October 11 issue of the Advocate a n article was printed describing t he experience of John S. Welch while he was working a s a "strike breaker" in t he Curtiss-Wright a irplane factory 'It St . Louis, Missouri. The article states he was termed a "strik-:l breaker" because he hailed fr om outside the state. Thi11, I believe, i!I used erroneously. A worker is termed a "strike breaker" because he attempts to work in a factory in which t he regular employees have struck. They do so in protest at too low wages or too long hours. It is hardly fair to them to have other s come in and take their jobs , thu s defeating the purpose of the strike. The employer would hardly take any steps to alleviate the co~di tion of the employees if he could find other ml.!n to t ake their places. -DANIEL BERND. To the E ditor : I have h eard a g reat deal a.bout the Red and Black handbook but I have never seen one, nor have I seen a.ny per son who has. What is the price of these handbooks, w hat do they contain and where do you get them ? -EDGAR BARRATT.
J. S. Wallace
Editor's note : These handbooks were last printed about four years ago. Lincoln high would like to print them again, but under present conditions, it i11 impossible to do so in our own print shops and we cannot a fford to print them elsewhere. We have no more of the handbooks a t present; al! soon as financial arrangements can be made, we shall issue them again. They contain information about t he various cur1'iculum:11, clubs; E. C. A. point s, school events, a copy of t he school constitution and other general in formation which is of particular interest to new student s and sop homores.
J . S . Wallace of t he printing depar tment at Lin coln high ha11 t aken up the hobby of carving book-ends and o ther trin kets out of stone. The stone is a labaster and comes from Colorado quarrie11. Mr. Wallace uses plain wood cutting tools and files to cut the stone. The price of the s tone is f our and a half cents a pound. First the object is r oughly drawn and then cut out on a band saw. Files and wet and dry emery pape r are used to smooth t he stone down to a very high sh ine. The grain of the stone aids very much in t he design of the obj ect. Up to date, Mr. Walla ce has m ade four s ets of book ends and a pen and ink s t and.
Finds New Hobby Of Carving Stone

• • • Went to the dentist the other day. Quite an· ordeal, yes, quite an ordeal. With plodding, drooping :feet we tromp down.·to the building. Enter the building, stop to think what ghastly machines of torture it houses. Step into the elevator- -whee !- -lost : one stomach with good two bit lunch. Get out on the wrong floor we hope. l\'ope, no such luck. Staring us right in the face is a dooP with the letter Dr. X Traction and Dr. I va G~ttam. '\Ve now hear two little voices; one says make a 60 yard dash to the elevator--the other- - well let's don 't think about it. In we go. A nurse all dressed :in white-you know, like a. ghost- tells us to come right in. Shucks ! Thought we 'd get t o r eact about the last presidential election in the magazines. With a broad grin t he doc motions us to take the chair- yeah! t he death chair. Glancing aru.und for means of escape we see drills, chisels, hammers, etc. By now a set of teeth are chattering together, keeping time with a pair of knees.We open wide-- ying !--iri comes the doc, hamIUElr in hand. There goes one too th to the happy hunting ground. The doctor sUl'ely must think these teeth are dumb. He keeps pounding something in the cro'wn. Wow, a blast of hot water-trying to make a tongue omelet. .After approximately 72 ·hours or so of torture we find that we're alive! Zing- -we are gone. We 're snre we didn 't hear the doc say anything about 3 :45 Thursday. We make a quick dash to the c.a r. Step on the star ter.,Oww- sounds like a drill. We must quit now or somebody ;will get the impr ession that we had an unpleasant time.

To the Editor: When I attended the Scottsbluff. L incoln game I wa.s a.mazed at the striking uniforms their band had for such a. small town. Now when a band as g ood as Scottsbluff can come and show up as they did, I think it's up t o us to do .somet hing about it. I h ave talked to quite a few of the ·pupil!! and they agree that it would be a. good plan !or the pupils of t he school to h elp contribute for n ew band uniforms. If we could start a line of n ickels as t hey did in Scottsbluff, or even a quarter, for tho11e tha t could, it would help so much. Tht re are 2,763 pupils now en rolled in Lincoln h igh ·and I k now t hat t hey would be willing lo contribute something. . Even t he 11maliest bit would help to bring our school up to and above t he s tandard of the :smaller towns t hat come t o Lincoln . - WANDA SMITH.

BETWEEN
THE COVERS A coffee farm deep in t he N gong hills of Africa is t he setting of " Out of Africa," a narra tive of th e African native. This farm was a lso t h e home of t he a uthoress, I sa k Dinesen, who is in r eality the Ba roness Karen Blixen. Far different is the native of her w r iting from the cannibalistic creature in war paint of the civilized man's colorful imagination. Among t he Kikuyu tribe very few individual ch aracters emerge. One, K aman te, a shepherd boy, queer in his p hilosophy of isolated life, became chief of her manor. Imagine a native N goma, a big dance entertaining at least 15,000 black skinned g·uests, having all t h e chara~ter of a country fair but with a more wildly p ict uresque flavor. Instead of popcorn and the country fair 's tz-aditional hot dog, there is snuff passed around to the mothers and daughters a nd wooden spoons filled with sugar t o the youngster s. Instead of a maidenly scream for a lad who has made a home r un, there is hear d a strange, weird shriek from a dark skinned girl for a male dancer w ho has swy.ng his spear ovez· his head in som~ fine m anner. Among t his interesting collection of experiences in dark Africa , there is the long session of the K yama, the native court of elders, dat ing back from the life of t heir cannibal an ces tors, a nd t he explanation of t he professional l etter writer who is so common among the illiterate natives. With his limited knowledge of penmanship, t his w riter is the sole means ot correspondence between t r ibes and the outer world.
FASHION FLASHES Looking a t footwear this fall, it is noticed that saddle shoe11 !!till rank as a favorite. Many gir ls h ave them in black or brown suede wit h leat her trimming. Alligator shoes, or alligat or trimming on shoes proves to be smart this season. Purses of matching alligator or a!lig·ator t rim, complete a n outfit. Moss gr een is a favorite fall color and many girls have been seen in the hall with skirts, blouses and sweaters of this color. Velvet a nd plaids are popular, and outfits are made up of plaid skirts a nd velvet jackets. H igh waisted skirts w ith a matching belt, or nat ur al colored leather belt are g·ood this s eason. Many girls are now wearing bows at the back of their hair. These bows ar e made mo!ltly of velvet, a nd wide and fair ly large. Girl11 of Lincoln high seem to think cotton lisle stocking!I quite t he "thin g." Reme mber back in g rade school our mothers had to fight wit h us t o get us to wea r t hem, but now, because ot fa<t and not our m others' wishes , t he gir ls are raving about "the darling lisle iit ockings." They're attractive w ith skirts and sweater s, but think what a "knockout" they would be with a skating skirt out on the ice. E lizabeth Evans, Marjorie Mengshol and J oan Shaw were a mong the first to be seen about the halls wearing them.

Long Service ls Credited to 'Dad' W. H. Salsbury, known to most of the Lincoln h igh students as just plain "Dad," has served Lincoln high school pupils f aithfully, w ith candy, gum &nd a pplt.s f or eighteen years. Dad can be found in any k ind of w eather, hot or cold, on the southwest walk in back of Lincoln hig h school. He is seventy-six year s young now. Dad origina ted the "self-service" system. You take what you want, d rop your money in the tray and that 's a ll there is t o it. J ust r emember t he :ru~xt time you see the familiar wheel cha ir , with the candy counter on front and a kind, friendly old gen tleman in· it. it's Dad with hi.!! e\•erla:11ting, "Thank yo u ever 110 much."
The game between Lincoln high a nd Scottsbluff was t he first America n football game to be seen by Myra Colberg·, a new student who r ecently arrived from London England. ' R ugger, t he .Englishman's foot· ball game, is quit e different according to Myra. "In rugger, playe rs form .a circle upon one which has been drawn. The ball is placed in the middle, and wtten a whist le is blown, the players all dash for It. The ball is continually passed from hand to hand, as it is con• s idered a. foul when the ball i.s held over a certain leng th of time in one'11 hand. Players are n ot a llowed to bring their opponents t o the g round by get ting in front of them a nd pushing, or tackling or tripping them f r om behind," st ated Myra. Neither rugger nor soccer play. ers wear safety helmets. A pair ot shorts, a shirt with short sleeves, and special boots with long wool socks undereneath arc the only a rticles worn by the players. This plainly shows that Eng• lish football is not as rnugh a s the .American game. The ball may be only touched by the hands or feet in E nglish rugg·er, w hereas in 11occer, it is t ouched b y t he head a.nd feet. Both rugger and soccer fields a r e smaller than the A merican foot ball field. Soccer i11 scored by goa ls only, while rugger il5 scored by points. Rugger , frequently called rugby by Americans, was tirst pla yed in t he town of Rugby, which ii located in northern ICngland. "The game between Oxfor d and Cambridge universities was t he best E ng lish toothall game I have seen," s tated Myra, " During our games, 11pectators sing old English country 11ongs and negr o splritual11, such as 'Old Black Joe' &nd 'Way Down Upon the Swannee River' lllld community singing is always done," related Myra. Grown-up11 are mor~ common at football gamee in Engla nd t haq children and no childr en under te n yea rs of age ue a llowed to a ttend games. "Just before the game st arts, everyon e risl!S and we s ing t he national anthem , 'God Save the King·; " continued Myra. Confetti and cowbells a r e not a llowed a t rugger l'&mes and candy, n uts, etc., are not 11old. A lso, pop corn is not sold in England and is not commonly knqwn of. -·· "Our crowds are very boi11ter • ou.s. as they ar e here in Amer ica," concluded Myra.

Discussing t he railroad problem it was pointed out that while t he railroads carrying 66 2-3 percent of the country's f reight and p ass engers t hey receive only 33 1-3 percent of its transporta tion bill. Railroads also must maintain their tracks and t erminals on top of their t axes while the waterways pay no upke ep (wihch comes out of t he people 's taxes) and only ve ry s m a ll t axes. It was also stated tha t 28 percent of our national income is spent for t ransportation which adds 20 percent to the cost of goods. Government owne rship wa s expla ined a nd was recom m ended by the speakers. Consolidation . was given as one remed y, but it was feared that t his would n(jcessit ate so much governmen t supervision t hat it would lead to government ownership, P ointing out t hat something must be done, it was stated t hat at t he present time 33 1-3 percent of the railroads a re ba nkrupt a nd another 33 1-3 percent are in receivership. The genera l op1mon was that govern m ent ownership wo uld be forced upon the railroads if their probl.em is n ot solved.

Scholarshio Is Discttssed H. C. Mardis States That Fine Students Succeed in·College Scholarship was the main subject discussed by H. C. Mardis at the fifth lOB assembly Tuesday. "Our records show every ,year that if students learn proper study habits in high school and succeed in high school, they are t he people who succeed in college. Conversely, pupils with poor r ecords here, sel" dom learn how to succeed in university," relat ed Mr . .Mardis to members of the lOB class. Average Load 20-23 Hours. The normal "load" carrie.d by students is from 20 to 23 hours a semester. Normal study required is one-half hour outside of class for each subject requiring p reparation. Total out side study time on the a verage is one and one-half to two hour s daily. The distribution of marks based on the last 50,168 marks is 1- 7,4 percent, 2- 15.1 ·percent, 3- 23.2 per cent, 4-26.1 per cent, 5-13.2 percent, 6~9. 8 percent, and 7- 5.2 per-cent. These marks. are for the last three or four semest ers. Tests and examinations as directed by teachers are d aily-on prepara tion, units-at end of unit of work, semester- for achievement . Relative importance of each of the above mentioned is determined by the t eacher in charge. Six w~eks Repo\ts Explained. Every week, reports are sent to the office if the pupil involved is doing 6 or 7 work. ';['his is a factor iri whether the student is able to remain eligible for extracurr icular activities and a lso the report is forwarded to parents. Every six weeks, pupils r eceive six weeks reports. These are for the benefit of the pupil and pa rent. At the end of the semester, ea ch pupil r eceives semester r eports; final reports, which are of impor tance to pupil, parent and office; To. be eligible for a thletics, debate, music 9ontests, plays, club or class office, one must pass three 5hour subjects the current semester and maintain this record during the activity. The r emainder of the time wrui spent on discussing the comparison in schola rship · r ank of former L inks in the University of Nebraska, to other former seniors of various high schools;
Links to ·Pick Photographers To secure for the 1940 Links an ample supply of pictures of first semester events, staff photographers will be chosen by the try-out route, according ' to t he decision ·of the Links board, consisting of Miss Sara h T. Muir, chairm an, F rank Kane and Miss Elizabeth Grone. Entrants should take two uictures of achoo! life, one of which is to be a scent of the north entrance and should .include action pictures of students. The other is to be a scene of student activity inside t he building; in laboratory, classroom or corridor. Miss Grone, the cam era expert of this faculty board, will be in charge of try-outs and photographs must be left in room 318 by November 6,
Emma Seifert and Virginia Ford Tell, Of Council Convention After hearing the way other l!chools are conducted, -· a nd the way the pupils of Ponca City boast of t he beauty of their high school, Virginia Ford an-d Emma Seifert are proud, · to be the students of Lincoln high school. Building is Beautiful. In the 'repor ts of the studf!nt council regional convention· given at the council meeting Wednesday, both Virginia and Emma gave descriptions of Ponca City and· the high schdol. Among their remarks was that Ponca high school was a beautiful one and everyone seemed to boast its attractiveness. They also stat ed that the high schooi has an enrollment of 800. · The audit~rium has handsome carvings and decorations in the ceiling. One point they noticed was that some of the rooms had fireplaces in t hem. None of the rooms had clocks installed except the office. Good citizenship was empha sized at the convention. The school has & . flag made Up Of .the school · colors, which is given t o the home room with the most citizen points. They may keep the flag one month and then it is given t o the home r oom, which has the most points, :for· ihe f oH<:>wing mvnth. Some ·ot the factors entering into the choosing of the home room are promptness, largest sale of activity t ickets, the most cars ent ered into their yearly parade., and the least number of absentees. Two 'best citizens' are· chosen each month and they also have an important part of the choosing. Amendment Improves A correction IB to be made pert,aining .to the amendm_ent stated in the "Student Council H.olds Convention ill P onca Cit.y" story of October 18. The convention -is to be held . in t he· north one year, in the central part the next year, a nd in the south the next , making it possible for the states in that region to attend . the convention more frequently. An example to prove that this is necessary is found in Nebraska. Although there are ninety student councils in Nebraska, only t hree were represent ed. Of nearly four hundred delegates, eight were present from N ebraska.

Benzol Is Cause Of Stifling Odors Any stifling odors in the first floor west cor ridor this week or next can be blamed on the benzol used t o clean the t ypewriters in room 113. The chemistry 1 a b o r a t o r i e s usually have a monopoly on nauseating odors, but now must con- -, . cede their odoriferous superiority t o th_e t yping room. · Plain alcohol, and also a paste mix tur e have been used before t o . clean the typewriter keys, but did not g ive such satisfactory results as t he benzol. The typing· students themselves · do the cleaning.
Courses in Journalism Promotes Citizenship High school students should be encouraged to enroll in journalism courses and be on the publication staffs, according to the Chi-isUan Science Mon itor of Sep tember 19. This is not indicating tha t the stu~ dent s are expected t o wor k on a newspaper after. they graduate; it is just for developing qualities of the st udent and to help h im become an int elligent citizen who will be a ble t o realize the prepara tion necessary f or the articles which ·a ppear in . newspapers and be able to interpret them correctly.

Club Activities Offer Many 0 pportunities A re all the clubs and extra-curriculan activities in Lincoln high wor.th while~ This is the question of many persons. Many pupils belong to one or more clubs or participate in some outside activity or sport, while a few d o not. One of the main objectives of all extra activities is to provide some means of occup~ ing the pupils' leisure time and. to make . it more worth while as well as provide entertamment. .All who have an active part in an activity, whether it be a club or an athletic team, receive a great deal from it. From a club .one may gain useful knowledge and spend enJOY· able hours. From an athletic team a person receives training in developing both mind and body. . In both club and team the fellowship of other8 is gained. Why not join a club and &pend your leisure hour;; wi lh ;;o ur :friends and .~ ;ill re.cein useful information? Lincoln high school has many to offer.
Amount of Damage Done Needn't Gauge Holiday Fun In many countries, Halloween is an im· portant festival and the day is de".'oted to merry-making and having a good time. In many places in the United States, however, Halloween has become the time to settle old iscores with one's enemies and to see how much destruction can be done. Halloween or hallow-Even, as it is called because it is the eve of the age-old Christian festival of All Saints on November 1, began more than thirteen centuries ago. It was a time in which to celebrate and have fun. Nowadays, things have changed in many places. Many persons think that fun can be had on Halloween only by tearing up someone 's property. The amount of fun one has ishouldn 't be guaged by the amount of damage he does. Is vour idea of a good time on Halloween to speiid the night in jai11 It can easi~y h appen to boys who are deliberately l?okmg for mischief. Many harmless pranks m . the be· ginning turn into ~angerous acts which. er,i· danger someone's life or safety. .All th1~ is caused by thoughtlessness. Stop and thmk how you would feel if someone tore up your fence, or waxed your windows. Many towns have a much more serious crime problem on Halloween than has Lincoln . In some cities the police force is tripled and the jails filled on Halloween. Because of i ts parties for tbe boys and provision of ent~r· tainment, Lincoln has much less trouble. with juvenile crime. This year the .American Legion is sponsoring. a party in the Lincoln high oval preceded ·by a march through the streets. If you want to raise the roof and have a lot of: fun, attend this party. Don't be heedless of others property and rights but consider how you would feel if ~t happened to you and you had to pay. Don 't take a chance on spending the night in jail, for some prank which began as a harmless joke. Plan to be safe this year and really have some fun.
Spic and Span Building Will Impress Visitors They're right under your nose, so you must have seen them, yet you probably don't take time to think about it. Near ev ery drinking fountain is a big wastebasket marked with t'be l egend saying "Remember me". But some students are inclined to be careless and drop their eandy papers and gum wrappers on the floor, Every day, many visit ors are in the halls of Lincoln high. They will notice immediately any stray papers on the floors. Custodians sweep the building at night, but they cannot keep the school clean during the day; that is the students' job. A few seconds each day on the part of every pupil would keep the hall spic and span. The very same Mcl\amara came up to us and said, "Speaking of chemistry, confiden· tially, it stinks.''

OPEN FORUM To the kditor :
In the last issue of the Advo• cate, Wanda Smith gave some excellent ideas on how to raise money for new band uniforms. I wish to supplement a few of her ideas. When Scottsbluff rode into town their band made Lincoln high the laughi!'\g stock of the state. As they appeared in their brilliant uniforms, Lincoln came marching behind them in the most tacky, ri1oth-eaten uniforms these eyes have seen in many a day. Loyal Lincolnites felt like weeping. Here are some ideas on how to i·aise money for our much needed new ·uniforms. 1. The "Nickel Line" of Scottsbluff seems most impractical. Lincoln is so much larger than Scottsbluff that the situation might get out of hand. 2. Place boxes on each corner of all floors for contributions. 3. Ask clubs to give or pledge an amount that they can afford. 4. Ask for contributions from leading business men. 5. Have pictures taken of our band and compare ~hem with other well-uniformed bands. 6. Have these pictures in windows of all stores and boxes near· by. If the school makes this a city· wide drive instead of just a hig·h school drive, then maybe our band ·can buy new uniforms. There has been some talk of purchasing a portion of the uniforms but most people ·want them all at once. They'll look better and wear bet· ter. Bouquets aplenty · go to the Mummers for their gift of half their play proceeds for uniforms. I suggest that the student council be placed at the head bf the drive~ Come on everybody, let's get go• ing! Marjorie Mengshales;

take advantage of this opportunity. Starting the car and backing come in the first lesson. The pupil is to practice every day for fifteen · minutes. The theory is "practice makes perfect." Drills consisting of starting and stopping when a whistle is blown are also featured. Parallel parking and traffic driving are included in the school. P aper cartons are used to represent cars when t he people are learning to park parallel. The backing drill seems to be the most difficult of all. New drivers are required to back in and around broomsticks which are placed at a very difficult angle. The last lesson in the $eries concerns stopping and starting on a hill. The driving school is concluded with the statement, "Correct driv· ing depends upon the correct use of the clutch."
War Necessitates Return to Slates
Ex-Links Wriies From School In New York
What would the pupils of Lin• coln high school think about re• turning to writing on slates? Due to the recent war in Europe, there will definitely be a. shortage in paper pulp shipments from Norway. Although there are millions of dollars worth of pulp in storage in this country, precaution must be taken in the use of it. School supplies, history _paper, drawing paper, etc., although important, would be one of ·th~ first cut from the necessity list. If ·this happens, schools would have t o find some other article on which t o write.

The entire nation is becoming more conscious of the need to promote safety. In Lincoln high last year a. traffic school was conducted under the direction of the Lincoln police department. This same program was held in the. evening so that older people might profit by it. Washington state is t rying t o pr•omote safety by holding driving schools throughout the state in the hope of solving t his g reat national problem. Miss Effie Noll, commercial teacher, discovered this new movement while on her vacation t -is summer. Every year hundreds of thousands of persons are either killed or injured only because of some careless driving. In view of this fact, the state sends out specially t rained men to conduct these driv· ing schools. ·Classes are held once a week and at different times during the day, so that everyone may
When the teacher is talking in any class, the favorite form of amusement .of the pupils is doodling. Doodling is the art of drawing wom;letiul pictures and doing another thing at the same time. Duke Eberhart's favorite form of doodling is filling in "o's". "Bud" Daniel is a man of curving lines. One would gather that Joe Hoffman has marrying for money in mind, the way he scribbles those dollar signs. Hampton Williams is a circle drawer, and Harold Gies likes to see men dangling from the gallows on his history book. H is type is called the hanger upper. Isadore Diamond is a house builder, building great mansions on his notebook. Howard Luedtke is a blower upper. He is always blowing up banks in his doodling time.
To the students: 'Door peekers " a re my pet peeve. Every period several escape from their classes with passes to one place or another. Returning, t hey pas!! by a friend's classroom door. Standing outside for a min· ute or two they wave wildly t o a chum inside, meanwhile disturbing the whole class. · You "peekers" should get a bird's eye view of yourself. If you did, I am sure you would feel as silly as you look. -BARBARA TRUE.

The Nation Becomes Safety Conscious As School Teaches Driving Rules •
Approximately $1;400 was spent on new books J-:tst year. The receipt books cost about $20 a year, and · the maps, which sell to-,: orte cent, except World and European maps which come in two sizes, the large selllng at two cents and the small size at one cent. About .16,000 maps are ordered each year arid about 14,000 will be sold. Each of these maps must be counted separately both by the auditor of supplies and by Mr. L;Lndegren, who, when he ·counts them, puts them in bunches of 25 and 50, in order to make class distribution more easy. The fore-mentioned supplies are the only ones that go through the bookroom. The art, library and office suppli~.s are handled separately by those individual depart· ments.
Believe it or not, sixty-five books can be read in a short twelve weeks summer vacation. Phyllis Holbrook did this feat just to make up for lost time. When asked how she managed to read such a great number of books, averaging about five books per week, Phyllis replied that she merely read a littlE_; every day, and she added assuringly, that she never forced herself just to make a record, but read because she en· joyed it. "It didn't even affect me," answered Phyllis when questioned if the reading had harmed her eyesight. ' "I e:ven helped mother in the morning and got my daily exerci11e in," the pupil stated. Books were chosen, not by title, but according to authors. Two of her favorites were "Song of Years" and "Live Alone and Like It." "I can't even re~mber them all," bemoaned this reader who possesses a very speedy reading time. When questioned if she would t ry such· a: feat again and whether she would advise others to· try it, Phyllis answered, "If they have good strong eyes I would advise it, because ymi learn a lot." As she · left, Phyllis mentioned that she red.d the "funnies" for recreation.·
"Going to school here is just like living in a big family except that bells call us to meals and dasses," wrote Rena Forsythe, former Lincoln high student who is now attending E mma Willard school in Troy, New York. 'The school is very beautiful and has a campus of about 80 acres on which there are about seven or eight buildings. The school day starts with chapel· which usually lasts about twenty or thirty minutes. Classes begin at nine o'clock and last unt il two-t h irt y . There :ir e six periods, two being study periods, which last forty-five minutes. Rena admitted that the work was much harder there than at Lincoln high because t hey only have recitation in classes and must do all their homework outside of the class. Rena's final comment. was, "I like the school very much but wouldn't have missed Lincoln high for anything."
BETWEEN THE
COVERS Can anyone Imagine one lone man deep inland in the immense Ross Ice Barrier on the South Pole where -t he temperature drops to 75 degrees below zero ? Admiral Byrd tells · of such an adventure that was his in his last book, "Alone." To study the blustery cold weather of the three month winter, Admiral Byrd, true to his ad· venturous spirit, remained alone on the Barrier. This Barrier was about 150 miles between the South P ole and Little America. The explorer philosophizes as he exists in his lonely underground cave, wondering at the fact that he was the only mortal soul ever to breathe on this untouched spot in this civilized earth. He thrills and exalts at the privilege that has not as yet been g ranted to any other man, of watching the blazing aurora. This long P,eaceful night was suddenly disru~ted by an evil in the form of carbon monoxide poi· soning. The vivid accounts of his unbearable pain, discomfor t and loneliness suffered until the joyous arrival of his expedition are heart stirring. The whole narative leaves imbedded in your heart the feeling that home and a normal life is the most enjoyable existence. A South .Pole pictu:r" book is available at the school's library. This illustrative book was contributed by Miss Helen Dunlap · from the New York's world's fair. Other books by Admiral Byrd are ."Discovery," "Little America" and "Skyward.'' Around Lincoln high school the thought of elevators has only been used to fool the "freshies.'' But according to t he Topeka high school paper, elevators really ex• ist in some high schools, for they have one for those to ride in who have statements from their doct ors saying they are unable to climb stairs.

Miss Knippel has found rJhe ls capable of doing with one arm what other people do with two and besides typing can play the p iano, swim and do almost any type of secreta rial work, which is the course she is t aking in the university. How to Dress for Business. The other guest was Miss Mary Provost, style consultant at Miller and Paine's, who talked on the f a shion picture for 1939 and how to dress correctly for the office. She displayed a black dress With several completed cha nges of a ccessories. The first thing for the · business woman, according to Miss Provost, is to be n eat and immaculate. The ideal dress is one in black which can be used as the basic dress for any number of outfits. A few costume effects will change the whole appearance. By a dding jewelry, c ollars and cuffs or a j acket, a few clothes may do the wor k of many.
Rural School's Progress Slow A most .startling sta tement was made, according to the Lincoln J ournal ,at a meeting of a ·s ubc omrnittee of the st ate planning boarrl'11 f'du cat ion al sur vey committee. T his flat assertion was, "Rural elementary schools in the state have m a de no m a terial progr ess · since 1900." C. Ray Gates, ch airma n of t he committee, gave his· address befo r e fifty prominent Lincoln educators who discussed means of getting the committee recomm en dations into law. Recommended to the state planning bo~rd and t o the Governor were these three l egis· la tive assignments: 1 . broader t ax base 2. enlarged school districts 3. a program of st ate aid to education subsidized by federal aid. After citing inequalities in Ne· bra ska's educational syst em, par· ticularly bet ween schools in the w este rn and eastern sections of the state, Gates declared that some of Nebraska's 7,000 odd s ch ool dist r ict s have 300 times the t ax able w ealth of poorer d istricts at th~ other end of the scale. ·In some of the r ural districts, pupils must attend school without adequate chairs, books, heating equipment and sewage facilities.

It is n ecessary to take examinations in eight differ ent subject s, pass in f our ~nd obt ain what is k nown as a "creditable" to pass on the w hole. Referring to the war she says, "We were very u pset when war was declared on Se pte m ber 3. N o light must be seen from out side the house. We put black paper over t he windows, and the glass on light s of motor vehicles is painted black so that only a small light is visible."

Judge E, B. Chappell spoke briefly and lat er led a discussion before the junior chapter of the B;i-Y on law and the courts Wednesday. "The law is misunderstood because p eople do not understand t he courts," Judge Chappell asserted and plunged into an explanation of local courts and 't heir functions. Ther e are three types of courts in Lincoln, the judge explained t he munieipal judge, which h a ndles all traffic v iolations and cla ims beneath $1,000; the district court which has j ur isdiction over almost ever y conceivable ttpe of lawsuit, and the supreme court of Nebraslf'a. Judge Cha ppell attacked the pl"es ent jury system in this s tate which excuses dentists, pharmacists, firemen, 'p ost a l employees, preachers and lawyers l'rom jury duty and leaves "nothing bu t farmers a nd businessmen." "Th e law is· an exact science like p hysics, mathematics or zoology," t h e judg e s tated and named some of the technical L a t in terms t hat lawyers find im m ense delight in using .

The Links knocked at the Beatrice goal line late in the second quarter and could not be denied. "Willie" Jennings slipped around end on a r·e verse to put the ·ball on the Orangemen's 38 yard line and on the next play whipped a southpaw pass to Debus who eluded a would-be tackler and scored standing up.

Beatrice turned up a trio o! good backs in Burroughs, Plath and Plebuck who did most of the Orangemen's work. The Orangemen's defeat ends the competition between the schools as Beatrice's r,ontract is up this year and will not be renewed.

pieces of an unbreakable transparent material at the ends which are lighted up by specially made small flashlights fitting in the handle with a spring between them. When ~he ends are turned, the lights go on and produce the effect when whirled of a six-inch band of light.
Proof that the proverb, like father like son, holds good can be found on this year's reserve foot· ball team where there are two sons of the men who run Nee braska's football teams. The sons are Dean Bottorff, whose father is in charge of all equipment; and Lawrence Jones, a center, whose father, Major Lawrerice Jones, is head coach at the Cornhusker school. Joe Toman, reserve football, thinks both of these boys are excellent pro,spects.

Thompson, assistant principal of Jackson high school, in paying this tribute, stated, "Only \ heaven, we aften hear it said, 'ca~ make a teacher.' Whether this b~ true or not, ac-
quaintance with Miss Pound leads one to feel that heaven or some other fortuitous agency has had a hand in shaping her career.

If she were starting her work again, Miss Pound asserted that her first efforts would be to organize the social life of the school so that activities would contribute to the main aim of education. She stated further that she would spend at lea st two· thirds of her time in watching the health, scholastic .standing, financial needs, and social conduct of individual girls.

Little Change In Pupil Poll Questionnaires Show Slight Difference In Student Opinion Not much change of opinion concerning the U. S. foreign policy was found in the poll taken by the Advocate this semester, despite the fact that war has been declared since the last poll was taken. Of the girls 82,9 percent and 74,8 percent of the boys still contend that they will not fight except in case of invasion. Questioned as to when the U. S. should intervene in the European crises, 3.7 percent of the girls thought that the U. S. should enter to protect t he rights of European democracies while only 4.3 percent of the boys agreed; 13,3 percent of the girls and 11.1 percent of the boys thought intervention was necessary to protect American interests abroad. Display of Force Advocated. On the subject of whether or not the United States should take an active part in foreign affairs, 4.3 percent of the girls and 16.6 percent of the boys advocated a display of force; 19.2 percent of the girls and 16,2 percent of the boys suggested economic sanctions; 25.9 percent of girls and 26.6 of boys felt that diplomacy . was the best course. But in direct contrast to the 17A percent favoring isolation. in last semester's poll, 48,8. percent of the girls and 42,2 percent· of the boys think that we shOuld not take an active part but adopt a policy of isolation. Twenty percent of those interviewed felt that the U. S. should have ample forces to take an aggressive stand in affairs abroad, but 40.7 percent of the girls _and 32,5 percent of the boys are not so aggressive and suggest only ample protection for her dependencies. Of the girls 51.1 percent and 48.8 of the boys considered ample protection for the U. S, proper sufficient. Only one boy and girl felt the U. S. should have no armaments. Insult not Worth <l War. One girl would fight to avenge an insult to an American abroad, but no boys thought that it was worth the struggle. Eleven percent would fight if Germany seemed to be the victor, and even if Russia or Italy entered the war on the side of Germany, only 9 percent would fight ; 38 percent of the girls and 28 percent of the boys would go to war if any dependencies by the U. S . .were attacked, but the large majority of 58,5 percent of the. boys and 56.2 percent of the girls would deem it necessary to fight only if the U . S. proper were invaded.
Bicycles Concern Student Council Bicycles are the present concern of the safety committee of .· the student council under the direction of Constance McCauley. First of the tasks the committee will attempt is to illustrate the bicycle ordinance. Pamphlets ate also to be distributed to pupils in . Lincoln high who own bicycles.

Frank Marsh, Jean Saui and Marilyn Hays are new members of the safety project. Volunteers to this committee are welcome.

20o/o of Federal Criminals Are of High School Age One of every :five persons arrested for a federal offense is of junior high school age. This was the startling statement made by Lt. W. H. Drane Lesttr, of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It is a well known fact that the number of offenses committed by persons under twenty has been rapidly increasing in recent years. But for Lt. Lester, who is second only to J. Edgar Hoover, to come forth with such an appalling statement is certainly of sufficient importance to arouse the country thoroughly. He doesn't mean children picked up fol' petty thefts ; he means those actually arrested for breaking federal laws-serious charges which hardened criminals go to great lengths to avoid. This is undoubtedly one of the most ~erious problems which America faces. What is happening to the morale of our high school students~ What is the underlying factor - the cause of this wave of really serious juvenile deiinquenc,r 'i

Alley Cat Disturbs Cast of "Blood Money" at Practice A . mouse-gray little alley cat, aptly christened Captain Oscar Blood by the cast of "Blood Money" was the culprit that dis· rupted play practice several days ago.

The . characters, deep in the throes of a dramatic cross-exami· nation, broke character and for several minutes all laughed uproariously.

that such a situation can exist, pa1·ticularly in the face of all the newly developed methods and opportunities which the present generation enjoys. To what lengths are we going to let this condition go? How can we stop i.t ? Lt. Lester's answer is, "Debunk the criminal!" Of late years, movies, newspapers and to some extent radio, have vied with each other in building up public enemies. They treat each succeeding act of violence with increasing glamour and publicity. They portray the gangster as a daring, dashing hero, to whom every day brings another thrill, and ·whose life is constantly packed with excitement and opportunities for bravery, a less tru statement . has never been made. A criminal's existence isn 't thrilling. Every minute he lives is filled with terror-terror that he won't go on living. E ven in the most secure hide-out, he never knows when the police may walk in. He never knows when one of his gang may turn against him and "talk," or perhaps decide to get his own revenge. Exciting-,.-ooh, yes, but maybe even a commonplace life is to be preferred to dodging bullets and being unable to relax a constant vigil, ~ven for a moment, with life itself at stake.

America's Finest Heritage ls American Education
If there is a genius in Lincoln high school, please see Eldon Ford about getting Russian thistles out of his pants.
This week marks the annual American Education week-a movement to acquaint the American people with the fine educational facilities which our country offers. It 's ironical to try to compare our kind of education with the variety offered in Europe today-how to march in perfect formation and the most efficient way of murdering your nei.ghbors. Particularly is it ironical ·when you r ealize that Germany has always been considered the home of great scientists and scholars; that doctors didn't consider their training complete until they had studied in Vienna, the capital of a country which today does nDt exist; that before the Renaissance, Italy was the only center of culture in a half-savage Europe; that France has always been recog·nized as the perfect model for everything beautiful and elegant and truly educated; that E ngland, for centuries, has had some of the renowned men of the ages living within her borders, because she alone offered the freedom to write and think which their own countries denied. America celebrates a national educatiO)l week while Europe tears down a culture that has been its greatest heritage for centuries, destroying it in a war which already involves three of these great nations. The fourth stands waiting to determine which side will offer her the greatest share of the booty before she decides which is in the right. American education is the greatest single gift our country offers its people. It stands for unbiased knowledge, free to all, restricted to none. It guarantees us a land of ableminded citizens capable of thinkii1g for themselves. An education is the only acquisition which no one can ever take away from you. Enemies may rob you of your fortune, of your reputation, of your happiness, your very lifG itself, but the only thing they can never d amage nor depreciate, never diminish in any degree, is the one thing obtainable in the United States to all.

Former Student Returns From Abroait After Five Years of Study for Degree Brightly colored polo shirts, jitterbugs and swing were all strange to George Stauss, who for the past five. years has studied in Vienna and received his Ph. D. degree in 1939. Mr. Stauss graduated from Lincoln h~h in 1930 and received an A. B. at the University of Nebraska. "When my mother sent me one of your polo shirts," exclaimed Mr. Stauss, "my friends in Vienna didn't know what they were used for. They asked me if it was used to .wash dishes with or if they were for small children to wear on the streets. The only time 1 wear it is when I go hiking in the mountains." When asked what he thought of the jitterbug he said, "I had heard a great deal about the American 'jitterbugging' but I was never quite sure what it was. When I arrived in New York I decided to see just what they were. When
Chemisty Fire Only False Alarm! Shucks! i:1re! Fire! But don't be alarmed; the building didn't burn down and you won't be forced to quit going to school. This fire was a small blaze In one of the waste basins In the chemistry .laboratory,_ Wed· nesday during fourth period. A careless student apparently dropped a match in the basin and the papers, sulphur and other chemical.s blazed up. An assistant quickly somther~d the blaze by· covering the one. basin with another. Because of the burning chemicals a rather strong odor pre· vailed throughout the building. Small blazes like this one are common in chemistry laboratory, although one that could have been serious was caught just in time last year. By chance Miss Mariel Gere happened to come back to school about six o'clock and put out a fire in one of the storerooms which had already spread to the woodwork.
Former Textile Designer Before Many Classes Student work of the University of Kansas was exhibited in Miss Gladys Dana's and Miss Helen Wilson's class rooms last week.

Miss Ketchan, once a designer for a textile mill, talked to the English, speech, debate, modern language, Latin and art divisional meeting at th'? convention. In her speech entitled, "Art and the Community," she· expressed the everyday value 1 and the very wrong viewpoint the average public has of art.

"The girls in Budape;t are the most beautiful ·in the world," he said. "I wish I could 'ake everyone of you to Budapeit: and Hungary. Hungary is the most beautiful country I have e•er · been in." When the political ssues in Europe were spoken of he said, "I'd rather not talk about it. The newspapers and radio e)llarge greatly on the situation.

New Links Give Candid Opinions .Of Linc1ln High "The boys it Lincoln high seem so short to ne." This was the first impressicn Dorothy Kloepper, who with her sister, Adelaide, has transferred f:om Web~ter Groves high school il St. Louis, Missouri, got as she attended this school for the first time Tuesday, October 31. Dorothy vas editor-in-chief of her school Japer, the Echo; she was a menber of the student council, national honor society, Webster Groves pep club and girls glee club. "Occasionally, girls in St. Louis wear sport dresses, but most of the time, they wear sweaters and skirts. And they all wear flatties," continued Dorothy. The presence of flags in every room of L. H. S. struck Dc.~'othy as being unusual. She remarked that all the rooms of her former school didn't have flags. "I believe the biggest change I must get used to is the long pe· riods. Ours were 50 minutes and school, which convened at 9, was dismissed at 3 o'clock. Lincoln high is a lovely building and I'm going to like it here," concluded Dorothy. Anna Mae Shea, formerly ot Central high school in Omaha, seems to find Lincoln high quite different from Central. She stated that after going to Central high ther e doesn't seem to be much freedom here. For instance at Central whenever there is a mass meeting you just go in, if you want to, and sit down most any place; while here you have to go to assembly and sit . in an assigned seat. "But even though there isn't as much freedom I'm sure I will get accustomed to it and like it here as much as I did at Central."
Working right along with the presidents and first ladies of the land, is another indispensable person that you never hear about, the White House secretary.

She ia the one who keeps track of the numerous appointments of the president's wife. In fact she is the one who sees that the affairs behind the scenes at the White House run smoothly. This is just a small portion of the hectic day in the life of a White House secretary as told in tJ.e book "Presidents and First La!ies," by Mary Randolph, who wai, a secretary herself for seven year1:.

Lincoln Teacher . Sall! Service In World War Mis11 E t hel Murray, hygiene teacher, was a nurse in the central part oi France during the last World war. She worked at base hospital number 49, Allerey, France. Most workers of that hospital were from Nebraska. She first rendered s ervices at Fort Dodge for four mont.hs and then eight months in Frar1ce. Miss Murray was in charge of an observation ward for a short time and during the rest of the time was night supervisor of all the 23 wards. In the hospital were 2,bOO patients. There· were 100 nur ses, 300 enlisted men and 50 do~tors in the unit. The rest of the nurses arrived after the Armistice had been signed. Going over, the boat following Miss Murray's was torpedoed and went down just two hours off the Eng lish coast. All boats traveled on the water. without lights. One boy had a disease which could not be diag·nosed and wa.s not expected to 1:-ve. Contrary to the· doctor's· opinion he survived and· is so grateful to' Miss Murray for her kind care that he comes trom North Dakota to visit her ':!-~: each year. After the war the soldiers of high school . and university age came home and took up ,•ocational training. · One of Miss Murray's biggest .thrills was meeting her sist.er unexpectedly at the station ne::i.r Labule, France.

·F. B. I. Agent At Convention Inspector Lester Says Every Fifth Criminal Of High School Age That one out of every five criminals on the rec.o rds of the federal bureau of investigation is of high school or junior high school age was an astonishing fact brought out by Inspector W. H. Drane Lester, of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in an address on "Modern Trends in Criminology" · at the Nebraska state teachers asaociation convention. Crim~ Given False Glamor. Inspector Lester blames the romantic and thrilling, but untrue background generally given to crimmals, for much of this. "To prevent crime, we must debunk the criminal, and show him up for the· dirty, sniveling coward he usually turns out to be," Inspector Lester said. Good parents, and regard for . law and order are most responsible for making good citizens of American youth. ''Work hard, study hard, play hard, and live cleanly," was Inspector Lester's advice to boys who aspire to being G men. "Work of the F. B. I. is 99 percent brain work, and only 1 percent bullet," declared the inspector. "F. B. I. agents prefer not to be called the G-men, but the F . B. I., because this stands not only for Fed.e ra! Bureau of Investigation, but for their code, 'Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity.' " F··. B. I. Requirements High. Eighty-four percent of the F. B. I. men are college graduates, and all are either lawyers or certified public accountants. No new men who have not graduated from college are accepted now. Besides being . lawyers or public accountants, those trying out for positions in the F. B. I., must have had two years of business experience, and tntist be from twenty-five to thirty-five years old. The applicants' complete histories from their birth certificates on, are investigated. Only one out of every five thousand· applicants is selected. There would be no criminals if everyone made a pledge, not to any special person oi: organization, and not written out and signed, but a pledge to himself, according to Inspector Lester. ... Thi:; is the pledge : "I solemnly promise to do my best to be a lawabiding citizen."
PERSONALS James and Robert Buxton, sophomore and junior, entered Lincoln high frqm Dixon high school, Dixon, Illinois. Wi~one Schmidt, sophomore, has been absent from school for several weeks. Wimone's absence ha.a been due to an operation. Because of a dislocated shoulder, which tore a ligament loose in her right arm, Mary Jo Gish, sopho· more; is wearing a sling. While on a hunting trip Sunday, October 22, ·Robert Lynn, junior, •hot himself in the foot. Robert had wounded a pheasant, and was holding it under his right foot so he could kill it with his pistol. Just as he fired, a gust of wind blew him off balance. The slug pierced his foot just above the instep, and was flattened against the sole of his boot. Robert missed two days of school because of this injury. More Education, Less Dictation. Ruth Stoehr, junior, . came to achool last Thursday, with two bandaged knees. It seems that she tried to avoid a car, which was coming quite fast, but tripped c,ver a piece of iron in the street. The car stopped .in time, but she did receive a. deep cut in one knee where the piece of iron had · pierced it and the other knee was akinned badly. Josephine Welch, a Lincoln high achool junior ·who has been correaponding with Beatrice's cheer leader, Roberta Stuart, for nearly a year, saw her for the first time at the Beatrice-Lincoln football game recently.

'Blood Money', Mystery Play, Success As Presented By Mummers of L~H.S. Propaganda that fell from the sky at the Mummers play advertising assembly last Wednesday proved itself authentic at the two performances of "Blood Money" Friday and Saturday nights. "Blood Money" by George Mid• dleton, produced under Miss Elizabeth Barker's direction, turned out to be -one of the best plays ever given at Lincoln high school. A mystery with a . plot . centering about a brown envelope containing 100,000 dollars, a lovely heroine, a handsome h ero, Mr. and Mrs. Villain, and a comical chink, ''Blood Money" held its large au• diences' interest until the last humorous speech. Betty Hertzler's wonderful per• formance as the heroine, Julia, drew enthusiastic praise from the audiences. Betty, possessing a very lovely speaking voice, drew the plot together by her convlnc• ing .role. Jimmy Bolton, played by Dale Burleigh, was a true leading man.

Former Students Meet Again at ·Football Game Two ex-Links met at a football game far from home, recently, according to a letter received by the A.dypcate from I rving W. McMichael, '36, a private in. the Army Air Corps at Hamilton field, Cal• ifornia. He met Lowell E. English '33, ·who is now a second lieutenant in the ·United States Marine Corps at a football game in San Pedro, California. "Lieutenant English was head coach and quarterback of the battleship U. S. S. Nevada 's football tea m," stated McMichael who added that h e was m erely a spectator. In repetition of · the game with Kansas State in 1937 when· he kfoked the winnirtg field goal, h is u. s; S. Nevada football team defeated the U. s. S. Pennsyl- . vania's team 9-6 by virtue of Lieutenant English's field goal.
Goldie Carter at Girl Reserves "If you have personality it d oesn 't make much difference what else you have. Persona lity is t hat char m which helps . in mak· jng friends and getting jobs," Miss Goldie Carter of Omaha who spoke a t the all girls assembly, told the g irl reserves, Tuesday, October 24. "The way you impress p eople is your personality and can be developed by hard work. Some personality is- inherited · since . hea lth _ and .environment contribute to it," continued Miss Carter. Miss Carter conCluded by saying, "Being natural is the important part iii personality. Stick to your own , i4eals and be an individual, not just one of the mob.''

in Annual Foray There is little hope for our fine feathered friends when Lincoln high students get out their guns and start out for the Nebraska sandhills or some other prospective hunting spot. Many are "master" hunters from the Red and Black. Victor Brenning brought in three pheasants, Don Tucker also , brought in three; Gayland Glass followed up with two; Bob Garri· son shot one. Willard Henke is either a good shot, or lucky; he shot seven pheasants and three rabbits. Lawrence Meyers made the feathers of two pheasants fly; he also got. a rabbit. Jerry Dorn, class of '35, shot the limit, five a day, in twenty minutes. Among the pheasant hunters who "let the bird get away," but were able to say they had some hunting luck was Bill Todd who came back ·with a pigeon and a hawk. Wilber Wright (and others) got eighteen jj3.ck rabbits and an owl. Max Egley got one rabbit. Dale Schappaugh's hunting trip was hardly worth the t wo pheasants he got along with a ba d case of cockle burrs and a torn pair of pants. Bob Lynn got some pheasants, but shot himself in the foot. Lawrence Freeburg hunted in the Nebraska sandhills where pheasants, as well as Russian thistles, were numerous. Joe Toman and Harry Kuklin, Lincoln high teachers, went hunting last week. Joe took his trusty gun with him while Harr y thought he would tr y his luck with a bow and arrow. Joe shot s everal pheasants with his gun while Harry didn't get a thing with his bow and arrow. However, they each returned with sevetal birds to ehow for their efforts.
Floy Vance, junior and gpod prospect for the coming tennis t eam, visited relatives in Chicago over his vacation. Roy visited the aquarium where he saw fish that ranged from five millimeters to five feet in length. He also visited Soldier's Field where the la st Dempsey-Tunney bout was held. Roy played basketball with friends in the J olliete high school gymnasium. a gymnasium as big as 'the Nebraska coliseum. Portia Eitel, sophomore, re· turned to school Monday after a three and one-half weeks absence, which was due to an appendix operation.
Sports Chatter Albeit (Abbie) Klein has de· veloped into one of Joe Toman's most consistent point makers on the reserve football squad this year. "Abbie" already has seven points this year, kicking two field goals and one extra point in the game against Fremont reserves. Kicking isn't the only thing "Abbie" can do, however. He is a star on defense as well as offense. Bill Jennings, Lincoln quarter1 back, is not the only great athlete in his family. Coach Morley Jen· nings of Baylor university is his second cousin and Bill Jennings, Oklahoma university quarterback, is his uncle. Oklahoma's Bill Jen· nings has given Lincoln's Bill Jennings some very valuable information and after each Lincoln game, Bill receives congratulations by telegram from his noted uncle. Hooded "parkas" were the main talk Tuesday night in the locker mom. Coach Beechner told the players that he h ad ordered 33 knee length wind-breakers, which should be available for the Omaha Central game. The garment is 48 inches long, all red with black h elmet and is blanket lined. The outer cloth is made of waterproof material with whipcord letters spelling "Lincoln" across the back.

. Mary Ellen Beachley, junior, had the luck of interviewing Wilber Johnson, a Baylor cheer leader, after the Nebraska game. "The hospitality and sportsmanship has been great during our stay in Lincoin," he saiq, "In fact it has been more enjoyable here than any place I have visited. The only Texas stadiu,m that compares with the Nebraska stadium is the Texas university stadium." He also said that the enthusiasm of Nebraska fans surpasses that of any other Baylor opponent. He was impressed with the performance of the band a nd the cheering section during the game and between halves. When asked about the game Wilber said, "Nebraska has a good team, but it is too bad that you folks couldn't have seen the Bears a t their best for thls seemed to be an off day for them." In closing he declared, "! don't believe there will be a return game but you folks all come down to Texas to see us play next year."
Continuing their drive for, a third consecutive championship, the powerful Red and Black aggregation smashed a stubborn Omaha South team 13 to 0 at Omaha, 'October 27. It was the Links first victory in the Missouri Valley conference. The Southsiders threatened a couple of times in the first period. Early in the first quarter, they moved to the 21 before Reichel intercepted Furst's pass on the 1 yard line. The Links then initi,.. a ted a drive in the same period that was halted 14 yards short of

Reserves Score. The reserves got the jump on the Viewman when Dale Wismer crashed over from the six inch line for the only score of the game. His plunge climaxed a drive in which Eddie Hall and Dick Cha pin played the leading roles, Connie Healy, assisting nobly in tne biocking department. Hall started things off with a pass to Elmer Maser who fought his way to the opponents' twentyfive yard line. Chapin then skirted his own left end and with Healy clearing the way reached the twelve from where Hall, on a double reverse, made it another first down on the one foot line. T"vo plays 18.tP-r

Girls Sports Lincoln high Annie Oakleys switched their guns for bows and arrows during the archery tourna· ment, October 19 and 20. The girls obtaining the four highest scores were Annajean Ray, first; Mary Margaret Bumstead, second; Maxine McBride, third, and J ane Johnson, fourth. Mary Margaret, Jane and Annajean will receive letters in archery because they placed among the four high in the tournament last spring. Girl golfers to come out on top in the tournament last Monday were : First, Jean Hazen w ith a score of 39 on six holes; second, third and fourth, respectively, Merriam Mann with 41, Jo Anne Kinsey with 43 and Betty Nye with 44. Since Merriam, Jean and Betty placed in the tournament last spring, they will receive their golf letters. If the cold weather hadn't been a hindrance the girls would have made better scores. For all girls interested in participating in the swimming meet to be held November 16, try-outs will be h eld after school November 14 and 15.

Kick otf
"Buddy" King set up the next touchdoVvn by intercepting a Tech pass and running it back 40 yards. The Maroons intercepted Debus' flip but then fumbled and Charley Gordon recovered on the 33. Debus plowed for'4 yards and on the next play cut back through his right t ackle and raced 29 yards unmolested for a touchdown. His kick was again wide as the quarter ended. Second Team Scores. As the fourth period opened Coach Beechner sent in the second team who continued what the first team had begun. With Lebsack and Weygint showing the way, the subs smashed 70 yards to the 6 yard stripe from where Arky Vaughan sliced over for the score. .Soon after the kickoff, the Ma· roons tried the air lanes from ·d eep in their t erritory and Newman Buckley pulled down Vanati's toss on the Tech 22. Jones and Leb· sack crashed for 11 yards where King tossed to Bobby Weygint alone in the end zone for the final t ally. Lebsack's placekick was wide. The Links rolled up 19 first downs to Tech's 3 and garnered 368 net yards to the Maroon's 98. The defense continua lly k ept Tech on its heels. Especially pleasing was the work of the subs who themselves accounted for 2 touch· downs. Debus, Reichel, Weygint and Jones were the big guns for the Lincoln backfield while Gordon and Kahm looked good in the line. Conti, Lester, and Wiles were T ech's best .

Former Links Writes of School In Wisconsin His Milwaukee, Wisconsin, high school building is twice as large as Lincoln high and h a s a.n enroll· m ent near the 2,300 mark. So writes Alan Jordan, former LinKs, who is now attending the Milwaukee school. On~ of the many unusual things in this new ·school is t he loud speaker system which is connected. in every room and every morning the announcements are read from the office. The football stadium is shaped like a horseshoe and will seat ?..:ti· proximately 13,000 people. The s chool cafeteria is very large and while students are eating they can enjoy the music of a nickelodeon and Alan writes that a goodiy share of the students "jitterbug" to the music. In reference t o the Milwaukee football field Alan writes, "The field is composed of bluegrass and that makes a very soft landing for the players. One of the few complaints I ever did make about Lincoln high vks that •terrible stretch of land enclosed by the stadium.' All the fellows used to term it 'Beechner's Woodpile.' 1 must be wrong though because it d oesn't seem to stop the flow of championship t eams, in fact, I be· lieve the reason for Lincoln's high scoring teams is the fact that the boys don't want to stop until they are past the chalk marks and 'those terrible splinters.' "
Prowlers Raid Lincoln High Supply Room Wire protection has been p ut over the stadium locker and supply windows since Sunday night, October 26, Halloween pranksters did some early mischief. One foot ball helmet valued at $7.50 was stolen and a dozen milk bottles were also taken. Other llupplies were left untouched. The thieves have been apprehended by the city police and articles re· turned. The thieves gained entrance by breaking out a window in the east stands.
a score when Matulka blocked Debus' try for a field goal. Links Score Twice. the third canto, the Red and Black gridsters carried the ball to the Omaha South's 2 yard line, but lost the ball on a fumble. In the fourth quarter, however, the Links football machine did not stall. Jen• nings returned a punt to the Packers 39 yard line and on the next play Debus whipped a pass which Keszler pounced on after it bounced out of Mocklestrom's hand and then raced the last ten yards for ·the initial score. Debus' placement was perfect for the extra point. Later in the final quarter, Jennings returned Furst's punt t o the Packers' 36 yard line. Reichel and Debus each picked up 11 yards around opposite ends of the line. King and Reichel collaborated to pick up 12 yards in three plays and a couple of plays later Debus crashed over from the 1 yard stripe for the final m11rl:e1·. M~ tulka broke through to spoil De· bus' attempted conversion. Links Statistics.

Large Crowds Vi,sited Lincoln High' s Many Exhibits at Annual Open House Proud parents totaling the number of 1,510 attended the first se· mester open house held last Thursday and conversed with teachers while students looked on with pride. This was approximately 405 ~ore visitors than came last se• mester. Student .council mem.b era and home room representatives served as guides while parents climbed the many stairs, wonder· ing why more of their children didn't have heart trouble. The science department was provided with nine snakes, two pigeons and six guinea pigs. Kent Baker and William Cozad also offered entertainment as they held the snakes, one as long as .five feet, coiled around their necks and arms.' They are some of a collection of Kent's which he ha.s caught himself throughout Nebraska. In Miss Annetta M. Sprung'111 room Barbara Ernesti and Josephine Welch portrayed French peasants while French records played. The cafeteria displayed a noon meal while the home hygiene room showed various hospital treatments and instrumenUI. The chemistry laboratories displayed regular class room work with Mary Ann Maahs and Everett Elden assisting Miss Mamie F. Short.
Different jobs were run on the two printing presses and samples given to about one hundred spectators drifting through the print shop Thursday evening at Open House. Harold Stoehr, Kenneth Gerlach, and George Elias worked under the supervision of Mr. Wallace. They kept the presses going the full hour and a half. It took a little while to get the first press running because the ink was a bit thick, thus causing the paper to fly · into the rollers. However, when the proper amount of oil was added things ran rather smoothly the rest of the time. Canned :foodstuffs, such as jellies, jams and preserves were displayed by Mrs. Katherine Henninger's home economic classes. Correct table setting and charts showing proper etiquette on the street as, well as at table were arranged !or Open House visitors. Four girls "Information, please" guided and answered all questions asked. Interesting books, one of which each girl reads and reports on weekly, were available for parents to get a.n idea of home and school life. Mrs. Henninger sajd that 11he would have liked very much to conduct a cooking experi· ment . but this was not possible.

France. Twenty of these boys are sleeping peacefully some· where in France today. The flag is about twenty feet long and nine feet wide, has a red border, and white center. Two hundred and fifty-five blue stars are sewed in the field of white. Some years ago this flag was loaned to the American Legion for a parade and was not re· turned for a number of years. But now it is back at L. H. s. and is displayed once a year on Armistice Day.

Dienst ·Speal{s To Assembly On Ar'm istice Boys Glee Club Sings At Double Observance Of Education Week And Close of War That observance of Armistice day is necessary to remind this generation, which did not live. in 1918, of the horrors of war, u rged by Charles F. Dienst, deputy state superintendent of public instruction and overseas veteran, in an address last Thursday before a group B assembly. Mr. Dienst spoke In observance of national education week and of the twentyfirst anniversary of the Armistice. "We have a distorted picture of war and militarism," Mr. Dienst declared. He said t hat real war is not fine marching in nice uniforms. "We die many times in a war," he stated. "War is misery and hardship unbelievable; t he whole story of it is one of tremendous suffering." Describes Spirit of Vengeance. After describing the bitter spirit of vengeance which prevailed throughout Europe after the World war, Mr. Dienst declared, "We must be careful how we condemn those who drew up the treaty of Versailles, but why did they, Orlando of Italy, Clemencea u of France, Lloyd George of England, and Wilson of the United States not make a grander trea ty -one which would have precluded the present war? With their background, I am surprised that the treaty was not in a higher type of idealis m." " The

Downtown Stores Visited By Class
Prices Have Risen Since Diocletian Age; Now Htlircuts Cost Four Times as Much
To study the sales ability of the sales clerks was the object of Glen E. Dorsey's class, when it visited downtown business establishments, including a mercantile store, a furniture store and a filling station. After the trip, the boys gave reports on how the clerks responded to questions, asked about their company's product and also the clerks' sales technique. Several similar trips are to be made during the semester. Since the trip Mr. Dorsey has given a talk concerning the making of a newspaper. Careful · con· sideration was given to the .work of Iinotype operators. Although there are no printers in this class, the students are anxious to study various vocations.
With prices what they are today and salari• ·s what they were during the Didt."}etion Age, people would have ia hard time existing according to Frank Frost Abbott in his book, "The Common People of Ansient Romr,." A barber living in that age, 1 eceived 9 cents per man. Of course, all the fancy green, red and purple hair oils, tonics and. other dressings, were omit ted in those days. Perhaps a barber is justified in charging the present 4Y prices but after & whiff of hair upon which these applications have been made, one is inclined to doubt it.

Senior Class Day Origin Dates Back Many Years
eof To9aY marks one of the i~portant events Lineoln high sehool- semor class day. Throughout the years, it has come down to. us as one o:f our traditions-the one d11-y which .6 eniors can truly call "their ~ay." It all started 'way baek around 1917, JUSt after our present building had beei; completed. The pupils were pro~d ?:f their new sehool, especially the auditorium; then probably the finest in the city. They wanted to d? some· thing special:-Something worthy o~ this beau· tiful new auditorium. And the sen1-0rs wanted to experiment with a new idea; they w1J;nted to give the members of. their class a chan7e to display their respeetive talent~. The t~o ideas were combined. Result-the first semor class day. The program was a gala event; colored balloons after being released from the staa-e, .floated upward to bob gaily against the ceiling. · And frow. those eolorful balloons, ou:r modern class day has descended. We have eularg~d upon the idea so that to us senior class day is not entirel; for the seniors to dem.onstrate their various talents but also a tr1bute1 a trjbute to those who, today, wear the blue· and ,vhite which marks the climax of their thirteen yea.ts of work. Today the rest of ~he student body singles them out for ~h e brief . momei:it of recognition which is theirs on this- their day!
Music Departm.ent Offers Ample Opportunities to All
emusicWe groups, hear a good deal about the sp~eial which perform for
var10l~s
functions, but little is heard about the music department as a whole. It has been so ar~ r angd as to offer a more than adequate co_ur~ e for all types of interest. To many, music is ·only another r equirement for gr aduation, ~nd the class which they choose, only the easiest way of making that two-hour credit. Unfortunately nature did not intend for many of us to become famous as singers, but that does not affect in any way our appreciation of music, for that is something which m@st people have to cultivate. After all, music itself is only a series of tones which are pleasing or distaste:ful to us, according to what we are used to hearing. Most people dislike opera because they don't understand it and are unfamiliar with it. They enjoy familiar folk songs, just because they are familiar :i.nd because they know before they hear the piece, just what emotion it is goin g to convey. The love for music is a precious gift. A :few rare geniuses are born with . it. But most o:f us acquire it, perhaps in eal'ly childhood by an immediate association, perhaps later in life, in order to be considered "cultured" or perh aps never. But no one is born with a dislike music. When you hear someone say, ''I just don't like symphony concerts,'' he only means, ''I've just never been educated to symphony concerts." Music is like any other kind of edu• cation. It's waiting ior those who want it.

Traffic .Offenders May Be Found Inside Lincoln High. e Having trotlble plowing through t he hails
these days? Well, you aren't the only one ! Traffic signals would help. But, since that is a little out of the question, maybe a little common sense will do as well. Offenders of traffic rules ·come in assorted t ypes and sizes. You've probably s.een some of them; t her e is the four footer, who gets tangled under your feet, and the six :foot three; who practically knocks you do\vn. Then too, there's the high-brow individual, who steps all over you and calmly says, "So sorry, " and continues down the hall with hi& nose in the air. We can't overlook the people, known as the late-to-classes, who bolt through the hall and into their classes at the last minute, nearly tea.ting the place apart. Let 's avoid broken bones, blaek eyes, and general body cuts and bruises by slowing down a little, and trying to be a lit tle more eonsiderate of the other per1on. If you are one of t hese t ypes, blow a whistle, toot a horn, or, best of all, reform.

OPEN FORUM To the Editor:. The possibility C>f makifig · the race track into an ice rink sounds vague and f~l'·fetched to me. Carrying out this idea would be ex:pensive as well as difficult.. Re· moval of the cinders would be a difficult job and a great expense. As for the popularity of this I do not know, but until this question of its popularity is answered, no steps could possibly be taken. What· will be your answer? Betty Logan. · To the Editor: In answer to Mr. Simmons• clever quip ·in last week's open forum, I would like to set forth a few choice remarks. :i: am a member of the Lincoln high band and verr "p roud of it no matter what the uniforms resemble. (I have heard maiiy references to certain eimilarities which I shall not men· tion here for .obvious reasons.) The assembly which Mr; Sim· mons refers to was used only to illustrate what a grand spirit could exist in the band if some· time the members could appear in a uniform. to . do them justice. The insinuation that our band tnight be purposely playing off. pitch in order to ·get new uniforms seems to me, at least, to be. an open insult to .lj.ny Lincoln high pupil with an ounce of self respect. In closing,, I would like to al!k Mr. Simmons how he wbuld like to wear a uniform at least twenty years ago, one. that ·looks , like something badly in need of moth· balls. t;::onnie· McCauley. To the Editor: Would the stµdent body like a pP.rmanent candid camera day? · 'l'here has been . some m ention of 111etting aside two days, one each semester, for official candid cam· era days. Every student has some sort of camera· ani'i last spring when a day was set apart for Links picture day, all sorts of cam· eras were seen. Some exception• ally goo<l pictures came out from classes. There is no better reminder of school dayS- than actual pictures of' classes and t eachers. This can be made a success if pupils will co-operate with the teachers. By tha t I mean. to ha ve so many minutes set apart from each period especially for the purpose of taking shots. After that the class would return to its normal basis.

Read Date Lines to Get Clear, Accurate' View of European War, Editor Advises· To get a clearer and more .accurate picture of the ·European war from the newspapers, look at the date-line (at the top of the story..;_ letters tell where the story came from) ; see which country releil.sed the story, and then read stories from both, Paris, Berlin, and Lein.; don, · is the advice of Ray McCon• nell, . night editor of the Nebraska State Journal. "But read stories from all cap• itals each day; · don't read them from one place on day, and from another on the second day, or you will be in the war yourself on the third," cautioned Mr. McConnell. ''Watch the credit line (this tells which news service, AP, UP, or INS, supplied the story) , the date line and the by·line of the story and then forget it; don't get excited." Propaganda is news that isn't fit to print, ·according to Mr. Mcconnell. "All of you have heard the word propaganda many ti~es, but most of you don't really know what it is," said Mr. McConnell. "Propoganda is usually distorted news, but not always. Often the most powerful propaganda is the truth, There are two kinds ot propaganda;. the official statement, arid stories like the City of' Flint incident." The latter is by far the hardest to appraise, because it ia so of ten true·. "A newspaper has to p1$.y iip stories like these, or people think

·COVERS Do you ever tire of the inevitable description in a good fiction book '? Do you wish yoq could r ead a book with just conversation and still g et the drift? If so, why not go up to our library and pick out a good play. There are several. "Tovarich/' by Jacques 'Deval, is a pla y of a Russian Grand Duchess and Prince consort Whose greatest desire is to become an efficient hoilsemaid and butler. In the years 1919 to 1925, when the Tsaric r egime in Russia had been overthrown and the present c ommunistic government s et up, the Grand Duchess Tatiana Pe· trovna and ·the Prince Mikail Ouratieff were wandering over Europe in exile. Tatiana and Mikail, t rying only to f orget they were the Grand :Duchess and prince consort and wishing to serve their employer s f lawlessly, told the kindly . bourgeosie famiiy and daughter that they were the· servants :for the Duchess and prince. I t wa sn't long before . the irresistable pair had won over the son and daughter and was teaching them Russian, dt•ink· ing vodka and playing poker tog ether. The villain of the book was the commissar Gorotchenko who was after the four billion. francs the Tsar had given to Mikail and who in the end did get it. All i?i a ll if, you want to r ead a gay, fast-moving, humorous book, be sure to read Tovarich. It has been broa dca.St on the radio several times, and was a. mo· tion picture before that. It waa one of the most popula.r plays in E u rope for years. Other plays in the library ate "Pr ide and Prejudice," "Miss Eliza.beth Bennet," "Victoria Regina," " Our Town," "Eliza beth the Queen," "Arms the Ma n"· and "Barr ett of Wimpole Street."

it's queer. If a paper didn't say anything about such a story, or merely mentioned it, people would thirik the paper wasn't such a good one; and didn't print the news very well," Mr. McConnell declared. There was much news that ''wasn't.fit to print," according to Mr. McConnell, printed about the Athenia disaster and about Ad· miral Roeder's warning that the Iroquois would be st.mk. It was said that the Athenia was sunk by Britain, making it appear that Germany had sunk it, and it was said that Germany did it especially brutally, and there are numerous other stories. "All these were either to get us aroused against Germany, or get us aroused against Britain, or just get us aroused," he said. Many people call the newspaper office to verify reports of which they have heard the very last part on the radio; µsually they get these extraordinarily garbled. "One night someone called up, and inquired, 'Have you got an extra out?' We answered, 'No.' 'Why not?' he asked, and we .said . 'Why?' 'Hayen't you heard,' he returned. 'Secretary ·Hull has been murdered and, I think, all the rest of the ca:t>inet, too!' We never di<l figure out where he got that, but he prabably heard that Cordell Hull shot a hole-in-one on a golf course, or something equally remote," stated Mr. McConnell. A story came from Germa ny recently about a German plane shot down· in Germany by Eng·

lish, and of the German pilota having · his arms torn from hie body, his eyes. torn out, and his legs chopped to pieces by the English. Such a story is pat. ently propaganda for, even grant• ing that the British would inutl· late the man, it is extremely unlikely that the British would have landed in Germany merely to mil· tilate a German pilot whose plane they had shot down. "You can't depend on pictures, either. Pictures can lie. Every day we get numbers of pictures that are pure propaganda handed out by the propaganda ministries,'' Mr. McConnell continued. ·They have received shots of pie• tures that are exactly identical at intervals ever since Hitler started annexing territory. One of these is simply a picture of long shelves of beautiful shining cans, which might have been taken in a grocery store irf Lincoln for all one sees in the picture. It is labeled "Germany's Food Supply." This l,s supposed to show that no block· ade is doing any good in stopping the sending of supplies to Ger· many. "A newspaper has to watch ita stories first to see whether'they are true or not, and second to try to see what possible ulterior motive a country could have for re· leasing a story," Mr. McConnell concluded. "Probably the best thing we can do is to run every• thing that appears to be factual, · and let the reader decide what is right."
'Boy's Town' Has Nothing On Netherlands Nebraska's famous "Boy' a Town" has its counterpart ' in & similar community in North Bra• bant, the s outhernmost province of the Netherla nds, according to a recent Christian Science Monitor. Nebraska's Boys Town came into exist ence eleven . years before the one in Holland, which was organized in 1928 after a meeting of the boys of Ossendrecht, a nearby town. The Dutch Boy's Town is like Boy's Town, Nebraska, governed by the bOys themselves, who have built it up from practiCally worthless land to a completely equipped farm with livestock, a meadow, and an orchard of 1,500 trees.

350 Present At Meetings On Vocations Girl Reserves Sponsor Vocational Guidance Class; Club Members Preside Over Groups Vocational guidances classes, or· ganized by Girl Reserves, met No• vember 6 with great success ac· cording to the club sponsors, Miss Edith Ellis and Miss Lucy Geiger. Three hundred and seventy-five girls :'C!gistered, and three hun0red and fifty attended. Miss Beatrice White of a local electric ·company spoke on secretarial and stenographic work in a group presided over by Betty Diefenrlerfer. Miss White pointed out the need for ordinary intelligence and accuracy in office work. Shar· mg time with Miss White was Mrs. Elma Limprecht from a woman's :ready to wear shop who talked on aa.Iesmanship. She emphasized the necessity of having a pleasing per• •onality if one wishes to get any kind of job. Agricultural College Speakers. Mrs. Lewis Anderson and Miss Mary Guthrie of the Agricultural College spoke on homemaking and. clothing design respectively. Miss Guthrie told the girls that training for dress designing should be available in otlJ.er parts of the CO'l!ntry. She also stated that dress designing required a great deal of talent both in art and sewing. Mrs. Anderson led an informal discus•ion on home making and gave "four reasons why home making is the most interesting thing in the world." Marllouse Bryson Presided. With Lucena Churchill t aking charge, Mrs. Norman Walt, society eqitor at the Lincoln Sta r spoke on journalism and Miss Norma Carepnter talked on advertising. Mrs. Walt told of her tra ining for her work 11,nd stated that promotion was up to the individual in his fi.el<i. Mi~.'l C'll.'-'I'~".t:.~>: emphas ized the need of experience and the vaiue of personality in dealing with people. Music lovers and radio f ans gathered in room 131 with Katherine Rice as leader. Mrs. Lillia n Helms Polley from the University of Nebraska and Mrs. John Pfanning, better known as "Jane Tucker" at KFAB spoke. Mrs. Polley explained that everyone needs music no matter what profession he chooses. Mrs. Pfanning tried to impress the fact that radio is not nearly as glamorous as it is thought to be. Nursing Coursei Suggested. Mrs. Gladys Smits, head of the nursing staff at Lincoln General hospital, was the speaker for the group interest ed in nursing which was in charge of Marjorie Rol· !ins. Mrs. Smits gave the fundamentals of nursing ·and suggest ed courses to take in high school. She emphasized the need of a good education, good heaith and g ood character. Virginia Stuermer, presented Miss Levicy Hill of Teachers College and Miss Anna Jennings, a Ii· brarlan. Miss Hill spoke of the opportunities of the teaching profession and Miss Jennings stressed the necessity of a good education and many of the same qualities n eeded in a teacher. Mrs. Edith Belle Lewis of Ben Simon & Sons spoke on cosmetology in a group conducted by Mar· jorie Brotherton. The ~peaker out· lined the steps in the education of a cosmetologist and gave the necessary duties. She also strflssed the importance of promptness in this profession. Geor gia Walker's group featured the speakers, Miss Kady Faulkner of the University of Nebraska and Mrs. Dorothy Ellors of Miller & P aine's. Miss Faulkner t old the group what they might expect in the way of pay, opportunities and education. She stated that it waS' the "most satisfying" and yet the most disheartining vocation there was to choose." Mrs. Ellars stressed the point of experience in mercantile work and stated that one had to begin at the bottom. Both Miss Faulkner and Mrs. El· lors advo.c ated a university in place of ah art school for a young artist to get his training.
Orpheons Asked To Boost Vespers Filling the house to capacity at the Lincoln high vesper concert, was the subject of Miss Helen Stowell's message to the Orpheons at their meeting last Wednesday.

PERSONALS Mary Kay Marsha~!, s~nior, was injured by an explosion in chemis~ try 1 where an experiment which required the melting of granulated zinc was being performed. The crucfole she was using blew up, causing the zinc to splatter over her face and into her eyes. The explosion was due to the fact that she forgot to boil the crucib!I) in water, after heating salt peter in it. She was sent home and re· m ained there for several days. Her eyes are kept bandaged al· though her condition is not serious.
Student Discovers Valuahle Stamp That he owned a stamp worth two hundred and fifty dollars was the amazing discovery of Paul Stoesz, a junior, and member of· the sta mp club, when he was checking over the previously un• catalogued stamp in his 1940 stamp catalogue. This stamp which was printed in i910 and according to the stamp collector's ja rgon is "a coil stamp perforated 12 vertically and watermarked single lined U. S. P. S.," is dark p urple and shows a likeness of our first President. The reason it is so valuable is that only a few of its kind were used at Ora ngeburg, New York, and if it had been left on a letter showing the actual cancellation of Orangeburg, it would be worth $1,200. Paul thinks that he received the stamp in some trade a t the school stamp club and the reason it wasn't noticed. at the time was that it wasn't catalogued until this yea r. This stroke of luck has raised the value of Paul's stamp collection considerably because up until now his most valua ble stamp, in the collection he has been making for eight years, was worth only $7.50. Stamp collectors met in 132 Monday at 3:15. Members talked and traded stamps. Arvid Johnson plans to hold open meetings every first and third Mondays.

Medford Students Favor Advocate According to a letter received by Jean Watson, the staff of the Hi· Times in Medford high school, Medford, Oregon, thought the Ad· vocate was one of the best edited and arr anged high school papers they had ever had the p rivilege of reading. Paul McTuat, the editor, said, "I have never seen a better paper in a ll three coast states. Of course our school is smaller than Lincoln high, but even then it is very sup~ rior to ours."

Universities Plan Federal Training Universites will have more to do with the training of government official, predicts Leonard D. White, former United States Civil Service Commissioner, according to a story written in a recent paper. "There is. need for much experl· mentation tor the education of Public service employment," stated Dr. White. "The service itself changes from decade to decade and it is difficult to foresee any single standard pattern which universities can .follow. Ea.ch institution of higher learning wiU make its spe· cial.contribution in one form or another." Dr. White emphasized that the university attempts to.prepare men and women for political and civic leadership rather than for "spe· cific administrative .positions."
IN .THE CLASSES Original cartoons w e r e Mrs. Ruth Dodge's . assignment last Monday in her A~erican history 2 classes. Ev.e ry pupil drew one or more cartoons on subjects taken from the units studied. They were valued for their idea rather than for the art wol'k. The result was an overwhelming turnout. The cartoons submitted were .discussed and shown in class'. Ju.s t in .case that you have been wondering whether or not there is a new kind of shorthand, by seeing some of your friends write as · if they were· nervous, set your hearts at ease. It's only Miss Bonnell's period 5 German class, who are diligently trying to learn how to write the ·aerman script. Selections from a play concerning the. private life of Cicero, r ead by Miss J essie B. Jury, in her Latin 5 class, showed students that not all human a ctivities were so stiff and. classical. as is sometimes supposed. 'rhe play, written in Latin, concerned a household scene in the home of Cicero and · involved the famous orator~ his wife, and his children. Bed ma.king is the general topic under discussion and experimenta· tion in Miss Ethel Murray's home hygiene .c lasses. ··The two beds in the rear of the classroom, .which usually stand idle, are receiving an excellent work-out, and the pupils are receiving important principles in the correct making of a bed. If skilled bed-makers do not result, it will not be from lack of thorough instruction. J osephine, Napoleon, and Simone, three gaily dre_ssed French dolls, were introduced .b efore the French. 1 class recently. These dolls, illustrating the clothes. worn in different parts of France, were broug ht to America by Miss Annetta. M. Sprung, who was In Europe, two years ago .. They were afterwards named by a French class. Josephine and Napoleon came from · Brittany and Simone is from Alsace-Lorraine. Appendectomies. being so popular, it was a surprise when Miss Ethel Murr~y found that her fourth period home economics class members .were all awaiting the day when th.e y could talk about "my· operation" as far as appendix. are concerned. Miss Murr a y said it was the first class she had had in which none of the pupils have had their appendix t aken out. After much tinkering and ar~ ranging of the radio, Mrs. Ruth Dodge's f ifth period class listened to the Columbia School of the Air last Friday. After the program pupils of the class discussed the p rogram. Learning a few of the. fundamentals of marching and drill routines seemed to interest the girls · in Miss Lillian Story's first period gymnasium class greatly. D ue to a shortened period on an assembly day, the class lacked t he necessary time for their usual games, and showed approval when Miss St ory instructed them in marching. The girls are now able to. march forward and backward, · and execute the four t urns; right face, left face, right about face, and left about face.
Average Person Sleeps One Day In One Semester If a person ·were to sleep all at
once, the time that he sleeps in a semester during school hours, the average person would sleep for 40 V2 hours. Here's how it can be done. Home room period-About three minutes a day is equal to fifteen m inutes a week or 270 minutes cir four hours and thirty minutes a semes· ter. First period: On the average o! four minutes a day or six hours a semester. Second period: Two minutes a day,. ten minutes a week which is three hours a semester. Third period: About two minutes a day or three hours a semester. Fourth per iod: Five minutes a day or thirty minutes a week which is nine honrs a semester. Fifth period: He is really tired so he averages about ten minutes tl;lis period. He does this In sev· eral different ways: Closes his eyes and sleeps sitting up, or .he lays his head down on the desk. So fifth period he sleeps fifty min· utes a week or fifteen hours a semester.
Professor Werner Speaks to 1-Ii-Y Prof. 0. H. Werner of the University of Nebraska gave a talk on "Boy and Girl Relations," after th.e tri·chapter Hi-Y supper held Tuesday, November 7. Following his talk he answered questions submitted by the club members. Before the supper Reverend Donald Litrell gave grace. Willian: Goe gave devotions on "Benefits We Get Fr'om the Church." It was 'announced that the an· nual Hi-Y father and son banquet would be held November 28. Competing In a somewhat ama· teurish and disorderly pie-eating contest, were Ed McNamara and J ohn Goe, who succeeded in finishing first in spite of the "sharp competition," became the champion, smiling through the considerable amount of pie which adorned his face.
Physiology Pupils Rate Themselves On Health Points Ancient Greeks, famous for their good health, meet some .dose rivals for their record in Lincoln high school, according to statistics t aken from person~.l health ratirig char ts in Miss Lillian Mania's p hysiology 1 classes. Of seven points on which they scored themselves a large majority of the students rated them· selves excellent on four points. The other three points were rated good by many. Although no long lines of pupils waiting to wash their hands are seen in Lincoln high at lunch time, the students rated themselves good on "Care of the body." One of the importa nt sub~items under this group was . "Washed my hands before eating." Bouquets go t o the physical edu· cation department for their work t his year as an enormous majorit y of these "modern Adonisles" rated themselves excellent on "physical activity." . When ..teachers see a pupil ·nod· ding and .drowsing in class they n eed not wonder if he is getting enough sleep because only five students out of four classes rated themselves poor on "P r o p e r amount of sleep." The rest considered that they had the sufficient amount and rated themselves either either good or excellent. "Food" and "Prevention of. in· f ection" were r ated good. "Thinking and feeling" was rated excel· lent.
Ushers for the November 12 vesper concert a nd guides for Open House received their instructions at the regulao. meeting of the home room representatives on Novem• ber 8. The service committee under the guidance of Margaret Weld reported satisfactory progress. Jean Austin, chairman of the Monitors, explained that 226 is being kept open in the mornings and after school for the benefit of the student body. Barbara Smiley said the scrap book committee cuts all articles cut of the Advocate Which concern representa tives and pastes them in a scrap book which is open for inspection. In the next few meetings the school constitution. will be discussed. Facts learned in these discussions will be relayed to mem· bers of the home room.
Cheers, Songs Follows Trials of Offenders In Pep Assemblies "Pomp and Circumstance" interspersed with laughter, was th'! setting of the skit given by Pep• pers in a double assembly Friday, November 10. The sketch was in• traduced by Virginia Ford· Who warned students as to what to ex• pect in the play. Students were warned that "they too might be tried someday, or placed in the dungeons of Lincoln high school." The whole performance was done in rhyme and rythm accompanied by the tapping of feet. Mr. Rangeler was tried for being off-key. His penalty as delivered by Judge Ghita Hill, was to sing a song. He promptly . ren• dered his own version of "Dark T o w n Strutters Ball" which brought down the house;

The second offender was Elmer Kehm, played by Barbara True. After considerable heckling by the clerk, Dorothy Browne, it was de• cided by the jury that the victim should "Trip the light fantastic.'" This was done, in an excellent im• itation of a football player. The next culprit, brought in by policemen, Jeanne Schroeder and Betty Jo Leadley, was the ne'll' coach, Harry Kuklin. He was. ac· cused of avoiding introduction to L. H. S. st udents. Kuklin protested that he "was too bashful" The jury apparently agreeing a s t heir verdicts were always in rhyme, decided he should show L .H. S. students how to "hold that line." He did just this in a rather surprising manner, by pulling out a clothes line. Elmer Sprague was accused of trying to be the noisiest boy in Lincoln high. He was asked to yell for t he pupils.

Links Near State Title; Red and Black Whip Sports Central Eagles By Chatter Score of 19-0 Beechnerites Destroy Eagles Title Hopes; Capital City Squad Outplays Central With a mythical state championship in sight for the third conaecutive time, the powerful Red and Black gang blasted Omaha Central's title hopes 19-0 under the lights Friday night. Scoring in the first, second and fourth quarters, the Links outplayed a gallant Central team in every department. The Eagles, led by one of the finest fullbacks seen here this year in Hronek, rallied desperately in the third quarter but lacked the sconng punch. Links Score Early. The opening gun was still echoing . when the Links gl1dsters chalked up their first score. Soon after the kickoff "Bud" King slashed off his ·left tackle to the Eagles 7 before he was caught from behind. Big Howard Debus picked up 3 yards in a couple of smashes and Hank Reichel's plunge was good down to the 1 yard line. On the fourth down King was called on and he cracked the Eagles line for the initial marker. Debus' second kick was wide after a penalty, 10 the score remained 6-0. Central's kick, later in the quarter, was partially blocked and the Red and Black took the ball down to the Central 40 yard line before Debus' pass was intercepted by Central. Debus Scores Easily. Taking the ball soon after the .s econd quarter opened, the Links marched 70 yards for a score, on .a.

of

and
plunges. Reichel opened the drive with a 20 yard jaunt around his left end, followed by "Willie" Jennings going around the other way for 12. After an incomplete pass and a couple of plunges, Debus tossed a perfect pass to Reichel who went t 0 the Central 15 yard line. Reichel was hurt on the play and Wilbur Lebsack replaced him. King plowed for 8 yards and Jennings made it first and 10 on the Eagles four and a half yard line. On. the following pla y Debus easily rammed across for the second tally. A pass, Debus to King, was incomplete for the extra point try. Jennings was injured on the play and "Bobby" W eygint replaced him. "Mel" Johnson recovered a fumble. A few plays later and the Links carried the ball to the Central 40 yard line as the half ended. Central Marches 76 Yards. The third quarter was devoted to a brilliant exhibition of ball carrying by Hronek who personally carried the ball from his own 10 yard line to the Lincoln 14. But one person couldn't do it alone and the Links finally stopped him on their own 14. Debus Scores on 30 Yard Dash. Lebsack set up the pins for the final touchdown by intercepting a pass on the Red and Black's 30 yard stripe. On the next play, Debus, who was the game's standout, slashed 37 yards before he was caught from behind an the Eagles 33 yard stripe. After a 2 yard effort by Jennings, Debus again grabbed the ball and behind perfect blocking raced 32 yards to cross the double stripe standing up. His kick was then perfect to make the final score 19-0. The second team then took over and played Central to a standstill for the final few minutes. Howard Debus was again the offensive standout for the Links with plenty of help from King, Gordon, Lebsack .a nd Keszler. Hronek was the shining star for Central and was abetted by Caniglie, Parsons, Westerling and Pomodoro. The Lineups: -Cent ml K eszler •.• • •••• • • . .le. . . • • • . • • Westering LincoJn-

Trichnella Spiralis Physiology Topic In Class Report That Trichnella Spiralis, a parasite which lives in the bodies of pigs, rats, and human beings, inhabits the bodies of 12 out of every 100 persons was the statement of Mary Derrick, member of Miss Lillian Mania's physiology 1 class, in a recent report. "Human beings acquire the parasite by eating pork that is not thoroughly cooked. After the parasite reaches the intestines, it lodges in the muscles where it stays," Mary said. "Because of the expense connected with the inspection of the pork, our government cannot guarantee any pork as safe.'' the student declared. "The only sure way of knowing if the pork is infested is through microscopic inspection." , Only one sure protection against the disease is known, that is thorough cooking of all pork. Mary stressed the fact that one should never eat pork that looks pink. "Nearly all of the people who die from this disease never know they have it, as the symptoms are confusing. The only way to know for sure if a person has the disease is by a blood test," Mary declared. The class looked at the parasite which Mary got from L. V. Skidmore of the Agriculture college. The parasite was in a small piece of a diaphram of a rat.
Five Pupils Join Student Body Entering Lincoln high for the first time last week were Doris Tautfest from Spearfish, S. D., and Gloria Giles from Kansas City, Missouri. Both girls are used to a much smaller school and think it will take a little time before they get used to this school. In Spearfish the school hours are from 8 :4i in the morniing until 3:45 in the afternoon, while in Kansas City pupils attend school from 8:30 to 3:05. "Our home economics room.'' explained Gloria, "is very modern with stainless steel top stoves and on every desk is a miniature electric mixer." They also use a broadcasting system from office to rooms and their floors are wood blocks. Also entering were Sylvia Hall from Chilton, Wisconsin; Frank Langenheim from Chicago, Illin ois, and Harold Michael from Racine, Wisconsin.
National Safety Council Distributes Warnings Have you noticed the little cards posted on the bulletin boards and eli:iewhere in your classrooms? These are made and distributed by the National Safety Council and include drawing with little notations which serve as warnings and r e minders for J>Jpils and visitors to be careful in all kinds of traffic while driving a motor vehicle or traveling otherwise.
Class Sees Newspapers On Lindbergh's Flight Headlines at the event of Lindbergh's flight to Paris depended upon the policies of the newspapers that wrote them, Miss Sarah T. Muir's i:iewswriting classes found out when a collection of papers of that date was shown. The classes saw h eadlines from many of the leading newspapers of the ccuntry and compared them. Carl Gettman '37 is an apprentice in the photo engraving department at the Nebraska State Journal. He has already served two and one half years of his apprenticeship.
Frank Mueller, coach on Lincoln high's staff, during the summer managed the Lincoln Blues, the American Legion junior league representative from Lincoln. This team, with the exception of one player, is made up of Lincoln high boys. They were defeated in the eastern half of the Nebraska tournament at York by the Omaha McDevitts, national champions. Mr. Mueller is the only manager in Legion ball that formerly played on a Legion team. Edward Schwartzkoph '37 Is doing some fine line work for the Nebraska football team this year. Though only a sophomore Eddie has started in four games and played as much as any other guard on the squad. He was a member of the Li~oln high track and football team in '36. Ed and his brother Sam are at the present time the only two former Lincoln high footballers on ·the university first string line. Dick Chapin, reserve halfback on the "A" string, has really done quite well for himself this year, Besides making some touchdowns he has become quite well known for his basketball pass. Dick really has it down pat. He just runs up to the line and passes the football like it was a basketball. He knows that either Connie Healy or Elmer Maser, "A" string ends will be there. "Chapie" is also quite an exclusive runner and what he lacks in size- he weighs only 148 pounds- he makes up for in fight and fire. Harry H. Kuklin, '32, instructor of North field football and head coach of the swimming, golf and tennis teams at Lincoln high,. attended Lincoln high school for three years competing in one major sport, swimming, in v..1ich he lettered every year.

He secured his master of arts degree at Peabody college in Nashville, Tennessee, in '37 and also took one year of advanced graduate work at Peabody toward his Ph. D. degree. The first r eal casualty the Lincoln reserves have had this season occurred last Monday night, when Jack Bernstein broke a rib in a practice g·ame between the seconds and the third teams. Jack wm probably be out of football for the rest of the year. Bob Gillespie is one of Lincoln's best bets to place on the al/-state honor roll. Bob is a hard charging end and always gives passers and punters a headache that lingers on for the rest of the game. The "Thin Man" is one of the best pass-snaggers in the state and the passing combination of Debus to Gillaspie is one that seldom fails to make a gain. With the "Horse" pitching and the "Thin-Man" catching, Lincoln high should smash Grand Island quite handily. Chick Thorne, junior, who plays on the Lincoln reserves, received "a severe charley horse" during the inner-squad game November 6. The injury caused him to miss two days of school and he will not be capable of playing any more football this season. One of Lincoln's main factors in their stellar defense has .been the shining play of Lester Buckley, senior guard. Combining skill, speed, and a fighting spirit Les always plays hangup ball. Starting his football career in his sophomore year as a tackle on the Reserves he graduated to the first team as a junior. He lettered in his junior year although he failed to letter on reserves because he was too small. When Les teams up with Melvin Johnson, the two of them present as formidable a pair of down-field blockers as will be I found on any team.

Statistics Show Fine Record Set By Team
Band Entertains ·At Half Period The Lincoln high school band proved itself worthy of much acclaim in the half-time period of the Omaha Central-Lincoln game last Friday. The band and the girl twirlers lined up at opposite ends of the playing field and marched toward each other playing "Victory March·" In the center of the field the band made a series of half obliques which gave a circle effect. In the next formation each girl twirler took a place in the band's ranks and at the drum major's signal each row of the band made a swinging in opposite directions which created an arrow effect. A counter-march and a left turn found the band facing the Lincoln stands and playing a collection of tunes called "Old McDonald." In this selection, the instruments carrying the melody marched through the band to the front where they "shined" in good fashion. After a performance like this, Lincoln should be proud of a fine band.
Young Policemen 'W7atch Cyclists Bicycle policemen, fourteen . or fifteen years old,. and a court conducted by a fifteen-year-old judge enforce the bike laws in Mankato, Minnesota.

More serious violators are punished by having their bikes taken away for fifteen days to two months. Licenses are required at 35 cents for the life of the bicycle.
Peppers Not to Sit . In Squads at Games Peppers decided at their meeting Friday, November 10, that they would not sit in squads at the football games, but that the attendance would still be checked. However squads will still be in existence for giving special announcements. Plans for ):he next rally sketch) were discussed .and many sugge~t!ons were given.

By actual count, the room which is three feet by twelve feet, contains twenty pairs of shoes, seven large boxes, two chairs, three dozen gymnasium and swimming suits and assorted junk. All girls assisting Miss Morgan and Miss Story dress in "the cubbyhole." The eleven girls in the Monday, Wednesday, and Friday fourth period, the smallest girls gymnasium group floor class, last week divided into two teams. The captain of the Fighting Five is Winifred Nelson, and the captain of the Greenbacks is Marian McDonald. In the fourth period Tuesday and Thursday class, Jane Johnson was chosen leader of tile Z. Z. Z.'s (Zig Zagging Zephyrettes) and Joyce Smith and Betty Coulter were elected co-captain's of the Dizzy Dames. Adois for now. See you at the swimming meet.

Link" Reserves Tackle Tech Strong Line Expected To Spell Defeat For Junior Tech Gridders After scoring decisive victories in the first three games this season the Lincoln reserves will journey to Omaha tomorrow for a game with Omaha Tech reserves. The reserve goal line has yet to be crossed as Coach Toman's line has clicked to perfection in their victories over Bethany, last years greater Lincoln league victors, by 21 to O; Fremont reserves 41 to 0, and College View by a 6 to O margin. Boasting one of the finest kickers in Lincoln in Dale Wismer and a good passer in Eddie Hall the Links should have little trouble in stopping the Tech outfit. The Links also boast some fine linemen in White, Klein, Deffenbaugh, Goe and Healy. The probable starters for the Links : ends, Maser and Healy; tackles, Boehmer and Goe; guards, White and Klein; cp~t.,,., Deftenbaugh; backs, Wismer, Hall, Chapin and Nelson.
When Lincoln high's football machine is rolling along toward another state championship, blocked only by Grand Island, it is time to take notice of the accomplish• ments of this years team. The Links have far outplayed their opponents with the exception of Sioux City with the totals showing the Red and Black stars lead· ing in all departments. The team has piled up 114 first downs to the combined total of 49 for their opponents. The backfield has a total to be proud of in 1,567 yards gained rushing or about 224 yards per game while the line points with pride to the oppositions total of 650 or about 93 yards per game. The Links have run up 2,164 net yards to 882 for the visitors of which 667 has resulted from passes. The other teams have gained 305 yards via the air lanes against the capitol city boys, The Red and Black has completed 38 passes this year for an average of .391, several of which resulted in touchdowns. Big "Howie" Debus has compiled a total of 64 points this season with 8 touchdo;vns, 10 points after touchdowns, and 2 field goals. The other scorers on the teams are Bud King, 30; Willie Jennings, 24; Bob Gillespie, 12; Bobby Weygint, 6; Hank Reichel, 6; Arky Vaughan, 6; Mel Kezler, 6; Wes Maser, 6; Step Jones, 6, and Wilbur Lebsack, 1. This is a grand total of 167 points to the op• ponents grand total of 24. With several all state prospects on the team, the Links are looking forward to a successful conclusion of their season. A strong defense · has allowed only 24 points, 18 of which went to Sioux City, while a. powerhouse backfield has collected 167.

Football Casualties Lowest in Years
Sophomores Lose To Jackson Subs
\
Ex-Links Sought For Screen Test
Coach Harry Kuklin's northfielders dropped their second game of the season to the undefeated reserves of Jackson high to the tune of 6 to 0, Wednesday at the Wesleyan bowl. Except for the one Jackson scoring opportunity late in the last quarter, when the belated Jackson attack began to click for constant gains through the Kuklin coached line, the game was a complete toss up. A 60-yard run in the first quarter by Yakel set up the pins for the only scoring chance for the sophomore team. But the Sophs could not puncture the Jackson line to score. Ted Schultz and Lamont Shaw looked best for the northfield attack, while barey was the whole show for the Jackson sustained march in the last quarter.
Verdeen Clough, '38, received a personal letter from Darrell F. Zanuck, producer of moving pic· tures at Hollywood, California, stating that he was selected as being one of the ten best looking boys to be found on the University of Nebraska campus and offering him a chance to come to Hollywood and take a screen test. Verdeen is not attending the university, but is working as an assistant to a zoologist in the university museum. "Well, I think somebody is playing a joke on me," said Verdeen. "However, I will not at present even consider makuig the trip to Hollywood." While at Lincoln high he had a. high scholarship rating and took a try at the swimming team.
Towels used in one day in the sports classes and by the football squads range from 225 to 250. Hutton Wray, equipment manager in the oval, issues these articles and has to be sure each is returned. Soap is issued with all towels. The fees that are paid each semester are used for the cleaning of approximately 1,125 to 1,250 towels per week.
William Stratton, former Lin· coin high student who moved to Liberty, Nebraska, the first week of school, is on the first string basketball team. He enjoys attending a school with an enrollment of 200 pupils. "It is easier to get acquainted and you know practically all the students," he says, "but I miss my friends in Lincoln high."

Tryouts will be held today after school from 3 :15 on for positions on the student board of the Links, school yearbook. All who applied ang expressed interest in these positions received questionnaires and will appear before the Links sponsors, Miss Sarah T. Muir, Miss Elizabeth Grone and Frank Kane, individually today to discuss their answers. · Four Chief Positions on Staff The four major positions on the Links board are those of editor, responsible for planning, general editorial scheme of the book: managing editor, responsible for page make-up, conferences with printer and photography; associate editor who reads all copy and handles biographies, and the business manager who makes plans for financing the book. The questionaire asks the applicant what position appeals most to him and asks him to comment on numerous suggestions, many of which were discussed at the recent National Scholastic Pre s s a s sociation convention which Miss Grone attended. "Too much of a tendency has developed to leave out editorial copy, lack of it leaves readers in doubt about the meaning of the book. School life in its relation to city, state, and national life should be increasingly stressed; classes and their informal activities should be set forth and interpreted and-administration and · faculty personnel, policies and achievements should have a place," are among points to be considered.

Latin Guests Laud Octet's Singing According to Miss Harriett E. Towne, director of the Child Welfare of the board of education, the girls octet which sang at the breakfast for the Latin-American group, were greatly appreciated and two of the visitors commented with characteristic Latin enthusiasm. "The music was lovely, but I especially noticed the loveliness of the girls, so young and radiant," said one. The other one stated, "I too have enjoyed the singing as it really was fine." The women, who were here for the purpose of promoting friendship between the two countries, were very interesting to talk to, said Miss Towne, as they had mastered the English language but gave it an accent which she most enjoyed.
L. H. S. Students Almost Heroes Had you taken the word of Harry Becker and Donald Bauer . last Tuesday, you would have marveled at their bravery and courage. According to their story they were quite the little heroes, having captured two bandits. Monday night, two men .tried to break into a local grocery store, but were unsuccessful. Don and Harry saw an opportunity for a good story, so they agreed to spread their version of the attempted robbery. By third period that day, the story had spread all ovn the school that Harry Becker and Dona ld Bauer had seen two men break into a store. They chased them for a block, overtook them, and a desperate battle resulted. The police came just after Harry and Don had beaten them up, and took the culprits away. Harry even displayed a bruise over his eye where he said one of the bandits slugged him during their battle. It came out later that Harry got the bruise in a football game. When a student was about to write it up for the Advocate, they decided . the story had gone far enough, so they told the truth about the attempted robbery.

Mural Designs To Be Shown Art Instructor Displays Drawings Suggested For Cafeteria Walls Portraits and mural designs, some of which may be copied for the cafeteria, are to be put on display in the office of Miss Elva McFie, art supervisor of the board of education, around the last of November. These drawings were m ade by Miss Helen Wilson's drawing classes and also were used for her open house exhibi· tion. School Life ls Theme The pupils got their ideas for the sketches by going to other classes while in session and actually drawing the students. It has been decided that actual school life instead of pioneer times is to be used for the murals in the cafeteria and that they wiJI not be drawn by one pupil but by those whose drawings are pickec!. Those having posters which will go on display are: John Carnahan, Hazel W oodsome, Dorothy Black, Edith Schuckman, Ruth Grant, Ronald Doan, Rich8_rd Holm.,s, :Marylyn Aivord, Mildred Penner, Betty Gille, Rachel Ann Lock, Harriett Wilson, Bill Coch, Geraldine Barr, Arlene Way, Faye Pickrell, Billy Goggins, Dorothy Rea, Robert Delaney, Bettie Wheeler, Roberta Meyers, Anna Mary Mourey, Charles Otoupalik and Audrey Lahr.

Others may also be added later.
Art Club Plans An Exhibition An exhibition of work of the art club will be held in the near future according to plans made at the meeting Thursday. Links photographs were discussed and plans were made to frame some lithographs which were presented to the club some time ago. A committee composed of Junior Strawn, Rachel Ann Lock and Robert Wilson was chosen by President Turney Sharrar to arrange for these frames. Another committee was assigned to lay plans for a picnic to be held shortly and was composed of Roy Erickson, Barbara Ernesti, and Joanna Radke. The next meeting will be assured · a good speaker as it has been arr anged to have a representative from a well known advertising firm come and tell of the management of such an office.
Puvils Report On N.S.P.A. Convention
Six Advocate delegates and two Lincoln high teachers who attended the eighteenth annual National Scholastic Press association convention in Chicago, November 9, 10 and 11, are giving reports on their trip and convention meetings to journalism classes. This year's convention was the largest yet held, with 2,464 delegates and advisers from 27 states and 330 schools present. Twenty-five Nebraska delegates, from Omaha, Lincoln, Kearney, Grand Island and North Platte attended. Miss Belle Farman, Advocate adviser, Miss Elizabeth Grone, Links adviser, Quentin Allen, Patty Peterson, Joanna Radke, Annajean Ray, Ralph Sears, and Turney Sharrar represented Lincoln high. Delegates Report to Newswriters. Miss Grone and Miss Farman reported to English 8 classes and the student delegates reported to the English 17 class. Many suggestions concerning makeup of high school newspapers, photography, editorials, news stories, feature stories, and headlines, were transmitted by Miss Farman. Brought out in the discussion was the so-called gossip column which has been causing much comment. Miss Farman stated that if the news will hurt anyone's feeling it is not a good policy to print it. Banquet Convention Highlight. Miss Farman and Miss Grone both described the final banquet, the highlight of the convention. "Between 1,500 and 2,000 people were present," they declared, "and between 50 and 60 waiters were needed to handle the serving. F~·r the dessert an individual large paraffin statue of Liberty, placed on a base of ice cr€8Jn. on an il-
luminated col01-e<i moulct, was carried In to each table by a waiter, while the lights were dimmed." Both teachers saw Maurice Evans' production of "Hamlet."

Houdini, Canine Escape Artist, Added To Cast of Senior Play, "You and I"
Pupils Oppose -Alberty.
With Houdini , latest addition to the cast of the senior play, "You and I", are Polly Parmele, Daniel Bernd and Paul Toren, part of the Friday night cast. Hello, Mr. and Miss L. H. S. ! Flash! Houdini; the latest addition to the cast of the senior play, "You and I," is shown here meeting Polly Parmele, Daniel Bernd and Paul Toren, with whom he will co-star in Friday night's pre· sentation of the play. However, as can be. seen, this iii not Houdini. the magician, but Houdini, a theatrically trained polke dog. Houdini, so-called, because, like his great namesake, he can't be kept tied up belongs to Prof. Enid Miller, head of the speech department at Nebraska Wesleyan university. Houdini spent one summer touring Nebraska with the "Plainsmen Players" of Nebraska Wesleyan. and had a pqrt in tt,cir play,
In recognition of his dramatic talents Houdini was made a member of national Theta Alpha Phi, an honorary dramatic fraternity. As far as is known he is the only canine member of the fraternity. In his spare moments 'Houdini" has been known to be very mischievous. Once when left alone, tied in the basement, he used his mysterious talent for freemg himself and then proceeded · to tear up some pillows. When tound he was serenely sleeping amongst the scattered feathers. Another time he was locked in a coal bin, so he just jumped the seven feet up to the window and then went right on through the glass pane. Of course he was a

Forum to Hold Alumni Meeting Letters containing a brief summary of the year's work were sent to alumni living out of town and those living in town received post cards inviting them to attend the .special alumni meeting of the Forum which will be held at 7:30 on Tuesday evening, November 28, in room 326. This will take the place of the regular Monday meeting. It was decided at the November 13 meeting that the president, Donald Meyer, is to appoint a Joy Night committee.

Alteratio11 Poll Shows Majority Favors Present Grading System When queried on a proposed change in the grading system at Lincoln high, the poll of public opinion taken by the Advocate this week on that question,. shows that 57. 7 percent of the 300 pupils questioned do not want any change made. These 300 are a cross section of the school, selected as typical of the student body in background and age groups. If the grading system were changed, however, 26.8 percent of thise interviewed suggested the system of marking a pupil's work satisfactory or unsatisfactory with a special mark for those who pass the course with honor. Exactly 44.7 percent would prefer a system oi gradmg from· O to 100 with the passing mark at 60 or 70. A third alternative of marking a pupil's work satisfactory or unsatisfactory was prefered by 10.9 percent, while 14.6 percent suggested a using a 4 point scale1 system ABCD. One person said that his system would induce pupils to study more. but that the main trouble was that the pupils don't know how to study. Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory In answer to the question whether ·marking a pupil's work satisfactory. or unsatisfactory would make him do less work and get less out of a course, 49.9 percent agreed that it would, while 45.9 percent thought that this system would make the pupil do more work and get more out of a course. One boy thought that this system would make a pupil do less work and get more out of a course. Evidently in favor of a standard system of marking, 62.1 percent agree that it will perform this duty, with 29.9 percent in the negative. High Marks for Extra Credit Answering in the affirmativ<', 84.5 percent of the pupils were in favor of the system of giving higher marks tor certain amounts of extra work done and for the system of giving extra hours for high marks and reducing hours for low marks. However 49.5 percent voted against the double issue. One person criticized the type of work done for extra credit and stated in answer to the last question, that high marks do not come from learning any more, but from getting along well with the teacher. This pupil thought that "high marks are little more than grades, of tact, diplomacy, -sociability, etc."
Lowest Numbered Bicycle License Goes To Student With Highest Mark in Test Pupils receiving highest marks in a special bicycle law test, to be given at the police department for those who wish it, will be given licenses having the lowest numbers. This test is a much more difficult test than the one to be given here at the end of the week. Records of the marks received in the test this week will be filed at the police department for future reference. According to a poll taken last week about 1,072 Lincoln high students used bicycles while 428 rode them to school daily. This means that almost one-third of the

It was voted at the Safety Congress in Atlantic City, New Jersey, that Lieutenant Bennett's plate would be used as the national standard for bicycle license plates. According to the traffic division of the Lincoln police department, 77 accidents have been reported this year involving bicycles up to the date of October 31. There were no fatalities but 3 persons were injured. Up to this same date seven pedestrian accidents have occurred where two persons were seriously injured.
Council Holds Contest; Seel\:s Definition Courtesy Is Fifth Item On Citizenship Rating; Competition Open To All Students Because a fifth item, courtesy, is to be added to honesty, de• penadibility, initiative and leader· ship, on which traits citizenship rating is now based, the student council is sponsoring a contest to procure a good definition ot courtesy. This definition will be printed on the citizenship report blanks. All English classes will take part in the contest and anyone else in school may submit his definition through the students coun4 cil or office box. A joint comittee made up of faculty and student council members will judge the definitions. Deadline Is Next Wednesday The contest closes Wednesday, November 29, at 3:10. The De• cember 13, issue of the Advocate will announce the winning defini· tion and give recognition to the winner. The definition of courtesy should be similar in style to those already on the citizenship report blanks. An original definition is preferred. If one is quoted, credit must be given to the author. All English classes will discuss the meaning of courtesy as applied to school situations, after which each pupil will submit a definition as part of his regular class work. Qualities Are Defined Citizenship records made by all faculty members for the permanent files in the office now rank pupils in four qualities which are defined on the record as follows: Honesty- Uprightness in all dealings, with regard for the rights and property of others, under all circumstances. Dependability-The trait of doing any assigned task promptly and without supervision. Initiative-Independence in finding, attacking and carrying out desirable problen1s and

Nevin to Conduct lolva Symphony Bernard F. Nevin, supervisor of instrumental music in the Lincoln public schools and conductor of the Lincoln high school orchestra, has been invited by Leo Kucinski, the regular conductor of the .Sioux City Symphony orchestra, to be guest conductor at a vesper concert on the evening of November 27, in the performance of Nevin's composition, "Fantasy." The Lincoln Symphony orchestra, of which Mr. Nevin· is a member, first presented Mr. Nevin's "Fantasy" in 1935. In 1938 the orchestra again played it from an entirely new orchestration which was accepted as Mr. Nevin's master's thesis under Noelte at the Northwestern university. The "Fantasy" has three sections "Andante," "Allegro" and "Andante." Andante ends with a coda in a moderato tempo. The whole number runs approximately twelve minutes. Although the Sioux City orchestra has been practicing on the music for a month, Mr. Nevin is going to attend only two rehearsals, on the Thursday and Sunday nights before the performance which is on Monday evening at 8 o'clock in the beautiful Orpheon tlleater in Sioux City, Iowa.
Teachers Revise History Course In the interest of revising curriculum, a round table of social science teachers met Thursday. A panel of six social science teachers from' Lincoln schools, includ· ing .E. B. Phillips of Lincoln high, brought up points which they wished discussed by Dr. S. T. Mccutcheon, curriculum adviser of Ohio State university when he comes to Lincoln, November 21-22. Dr. Mccutcheon has approximately thirty schools of all types and sizes which he supervises. This work with progressive schools has been going on for six years. He gladly accepted the invitation of Lincoln schools to stop off and help analyze the system.

True Sportsman Takes No Needless Chances A true sportsman never takes any needless chance, but takes. every prec1tution to prevent any serious accident. One should never :forget for a moment that firearms are always dangerous even though unloaded because many times it's the supp-:>sedly "unloaded" guns that cause serious accidents. When you go hunting, here are ten rules issued by the Game, Forestatioi: and . Parks Commission that you should strictly observe, and insist that all other members of your party observe. . 1. Never permit a loaded gun in an automobile bus or other conveyance. 2.' Never point a gun-loaded or unloaded-at a person. Too often it is the ''gun that wasn't loaded" that kills. 3. Don't run with a loaded gun. 4. Unload your gun immediately '.3-fter use. 5. Keep the safety on when gun 1s loaded. 6. Always look in the cham?er for. shells di er unloading. Even mechanical • eJectors make mistakes. . 7. Be sure you can see the bird or a~1imal at which you are shooting. Never shoot blmdly into brush or trees. 8. Don't drag your gun by the barrel behind vou through a fence or out of a car. Remember the business end of the barrel is always dangerous. 9. Keep your gun clean. Even a thread in the rifling of a high powered rifle may shatter it when fired. 10. Know your hunting laws and regulations.
Courtesy Now Becomes Necessary Requirement Honesty, dependability, initiative and leadership are the qualities on which, up to the present time, the citizenship ratings ~ave been based. One purpose of citizenship ratmgs is to furnish information to employers wh..i wish character references on their would-be employees. Therefore these ratings should be of importance to all pupils. . Of course, honesty is by far the most important because if the pupil is not hone~t, whatever other good traits he may have, will be rendered pretty worthless by this one bad one. But honesty isn't all that matters, for de• pendability is very nearly as important. The two are almost synonomous for a dependable person is an honest one and an honest pr.rson is generally dependable, but not always. M~ny people who would never dream. of steah_ng even a penny's worth will not hesitate to shirk their work if their boss or t eacher isn't there. The instances are rare indeed, when a man's work is so exceptional that he is tolerated, even though he can never be r elied on to do what he is told. F'or the average person, such a situation is non-existant. Which brings around the question of initiative-being able to go ahead on your own -disregarding orders if necessary. That often involves some mighty difficult d ecisions, which sometimi>s have to be made in a split second 's time. Of course, people wh.o will carry out their orders to the end, if need be, are oftirnes necessary. But more likely the individuals that are called for are those who are able to think for themselves. The fourth requirement is leadership. This does not entirely mean whether or not the incb"Jidual has. leadership qualities, so much as it means what kind of leadership, he exerts. Is it something beneficial which is for his own good and others, or will it be detrimental, doing more harm than good 1 These are the qualities on which teachers mark the citizenship of their pupils. But no>v, a new quality is to be added-courtesy. And although it at first seems less important than those other four traits, a little thought brings the realization that it 's not so much less important after all. For discourteous conduct does about as much as anything to lower others' opinions of an individual. So it is that a fifth requisite is added; one which grows more important with each passing year. From courtesy in business, even on the part of the least paid clerk, to courtesy on the road, that is today's trend. The time element may have been of primary importance, but now it seems to be taking a back seat to the newer idea-courtesy.

T o the Editor: It seems that the adjective 'candid' is coming into more and more popular misuse. Many people, after looking at my camera, ask me, "Is it a candid camera?" Some time ago I heard in a radio advertisement: "Hold it for the candid camera man!" {click ). In last week's Advocate I saw on the first page a n otice concerning "candid camera shots" (all of which had. been carefully posed l on the bulletin board, illustrating the bicycle ordinance. In the Open Forum column a "candid camera day" was proposed, in which a few m'..>tutes of each period would be set aside for photography. All of the above are examples of how not to use the word "candid." In photography, the word "candid" is synonymous with "unposed." H ence, as Mr. Ferris said at the last camera club meeting, "There is no such thing as a candid camera." One is correct in using the word in expression such as "candid photographs," "candid pictures," or "candid shots" but never in reference to a camera or a camera man. I find that candid photography in the classrooms is like whispering; if practiced with moderation it will get by without causing a disturbance in the class. In fact, the perfectly executed candid snapshot will be noticed by no one except the photographer. -George Werner. Dear Editor: In schools in other cities there are clubs for the foreign language students such as a Spanish club for those taking Spanish and a French club for those taking French. I think this is a good idea for Lincon high school. I don't }<now whether there are too many clubs already in Lincoln high school or if this has been tried before. I t hink these clubs would broad~ en the views and maJ{e~ better spoken foreign languages. In the meetings, the members could discuss the country of special interest to the club and could also get speakers. The members could also put on a play in the special lang uage, as Spanish, French or German. Dorothy Smith.
Spanish Class
Visited by Foreigners To learn to fly is the ambition of the four Spanish boys from the Lincoln flying school who visited Miss Marguerite Gundermann's Spanish 3 class Friday. The boys were from Columbia, South America and Central America and had read advertisements in Spanish magazines about the Latin-Quarter in the Lincoln Flying school and decided to come here to learn to fly. One of the boys could speak English fairly well, so he answered all the questions the students asked him. Miss Gundermann spoke to the others entirely in Spanish as they could speak and understand very little English. They read the lesson in Spanish for the class and helped the students in the pronunciation of some of the more difficult Spanish words. The boys like the United States but say that the climate is too changeable. They have two seasons rather than four; prices are lower in South America with the exception of gasoline, which is higher. Girls do not participate in sports and are built much smaller than American girls but look very much like the girls in the United States.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, the War ls Getting Quite Bad, Isn't It? What am I thinking of-the idea of two Thanksgivings ? Well, t his is being the way I see it. Ther e are some fellows over in Europe, one who is calling himself Adolph and another being called Johnny Bull, who are having a disag reement. It seems that Johnny thinks little Adolph is stepping on his corns and since t hey aren't having a good fight for more t han 20 years, t hey decided to make something of it. Since they are both being great big "sissies" or maybe they aren't wanting to get their hands dirty, they're get ting some fellows whose only request is for a lit tle peace and quiet to come and fig ht it out . Then there are being also a couple of guys calling themselves Joe and Benito who are sitt ing on a fence which is seeming t o me to be dangerous because the way I am seeing it if one of them gets knocked off the fence he is going to be getting up one very mad fellow and this will be making one mess t wo messes. Also t here are a bunch of little

Bv Strange Animal
·" Is it a dog ? " No. "Is it a pig?" No. "Well, what is lt," exclaimed Edwin Brownson and Robert Bishop, students of Lincoln hig h, whi le driving down J street between Thirty-seventh and Fortieth one night th is fa ll about 10 o'clock. The animal was trotting up a terrace. The boys stopped the car with. the head lights shining on this "goon-like" creature, got out, and headed it back into the street where th ey could get a close look at it. When t hey got this pig- like an imal which moved like a tractor, into th e street, it fell down as if it were dead. Bob stepped on its rat-l ike tail to see if it would move, but no, not a quiver. The boys t hought it might be playing possum so they got back into t he car. At the same moment t he car was started the seem· ingly lifeless animal rose and ran into the bushes. The boys do not know for sure, but think the an imal was a wild possum.

The Lati n department gives more "l's" than any other de· partment in Lincoln high? Last year's football team, composed of seven "All-Confer· ence" men, and a host of fine linemen and backs, was sparked to its second straig ht state championship by one of Nebraska's outstanding bac ks, Howa rd Debus ? More "7's" are given by the mathematics department, with 9.46 per cent failing? Miss Olivia Pound, girls' advisor at Lincoln high, was honored at a banquet during this yea rs State Teachers Convention? There are over 110 clocks in Lincoln hig h school? Miss Sarah T. Muir, head of the Engl ish department, Is vicepresident of the National EducatiQn Association?
Almost $30 ,000 Required for Maintaining School Each Year, Custodian Reveals Would you believe that it takes $29,606.55 a year to operate your school? This is one of the st artling facts of interest to Lincoln high students disclosed in an interview with Edwin Geistlinger, chief custodian. Comparative costs fer a year run as follows: fuel-$4,959.20, light and pmver-$4, 701.41; water - $1,199.48 and custodianal supplies-$2,015.72. The above expenses plus salaries make the grand total. To show that the organizing and managing of the cleaning is not easy, he explained the simple appearing, yet complicated job of the daily sweeping. Compound is used on the automobile shop, basement, and to hold dust down in t he corrido;:s, while oil treated mops are used on cork class room floors. Neither 'oil nor compound can be used on the marble so a third method must "be employed. Wet sawdust is used since it is the only thing which will not discolor the marble. It was found that 5 gallons of
fellows living close t o Joe who are getting t ough because t hey t hink J oe is leaning towards Adolph's side of t he fence but J oey isn't liking t his and is get ting r eady to cloud up and rain all over t hese f ellows, who are too t r uthf ul for t heir own safeness. But coming back across the ocean I a m seeing a brave fellow being called Dies who is set ting h imself up as number one t ermite ext erminator. So besides this we only are having t wo worries left. One of wh' ch is who is going to get the state football championship and the other is being something to t he effect of t wo Thanksgivillgs. Therefore, I am thinking all we can do a b o u t the f i r s t is hoping always for the best and as for the president's idea of a coup le of Thanksgivings instead of one, maybe he is being having something there because after looking around us we a re discovering we should be doubly t hankful for living in the United States instead of in Europe where if we were being lucky we would just be thankful we were living.
oil for treating mops is used a month, 12 cans of compound, and 12 cans of sawdust, also about $600 worth of towels are used a year, and at least $24 worth of disinfectant. These are only a few of the exp enses. Mr. .Geistlinger was of the opinion t hat t hese figures could be cut considerably t hrough the cooperation of the s tudent body. It would help greatly if students would be more carefu l about throwing waste paper about the building and campus. Besides cutting down expenses, it would im~ prove the appearance immensely. It seems many Lincoln high students feel it necessary to leave their initials in various places over the building. It takes a great deal of time and money t o rectify such acts. In conclusion Mr. Geistlinger stated, "This Is a wonderful building you have here and I am proud to be the head custodian. Ther efore, may I ask the co-operation of every student in keepingthe building in good condition s;) that it may be as beautiful in years to come as it is today."
N. Y. A. Gives Students Work Although the quota for this semest er 's N. Y. A. students is 102, 105 are being employed. This work is for students who otherwise would not be a ble to attend school. In t he cafeteria, 25 students are employed, 36 for Edwin Geistlinger, head custodian, 8 in the girl's gymnasium dressing room, 1 in t he green house, 3 in the school bank, 2 in the main office, 2 in the library, 1 in t he study hall and several other assistants. These students who work receive 25 cents an hour. A time report is made each week and is handed in t o the timekeeper. "Pupils are doing good work in helping teachers a nd custodians, and are very sincere and really are anxious t o do all they can," stated Miss Dorothy .B eever. Miss Beever is the N. Y. A. timekeeper and assigns students to their jobs. This is the fifth year t hat Lincoln high school has conducted an N . Y. A. project. The most a student may work in one month is 24 hours and the least he may wor k is 12 hours. The payroll is made out the 11th of each month and checks are mailed directly to students.
BETWEEN THE
COVERS Have you ever read a book t hat has such a definit e rhythm to it t hat you could tap your foot in time to it ? T.h at's t he way Anne Morrow Lindbergh's, "Listen! The Wind," · is written. Perhaps the rocking motion of t he plane, as she and her husband flew across the Atlantic ocean, lent itself to her writings. At any r ate it is said that t he book could be set to music because it has such a definite rhythm. Mrs. Lindbergh is not only an accomplished writer, but also was the radio operator and co-pilot for her husband when they made their flight a round the north Atlantic in 1933. Tho the entire flight took six mont hs, Uds book tells only of . the h ardships and experiences for ten days. Starting with their arrival in Porto Praia, a village in the Cape Verde islands, she t ells of the difficulties pulling out of the port because of the lack of wind. From P orto Praia, Mr. and Mrs. Lindbergh flew t o Dakar. After t hree unsuccessful attempts to get off to South America, Mrs. Lindbergh and hel:' husband flew thru the night fnr ten hours while she tapped out messages on t he r adio set every hour and half hour to P an American and t ook over the controls when her husband got t ired. She tells of the joy felt when they finally took off from Dakar and how secure a nd snug she felt inside her cozy little cockpit where she could curl up a nd eat a sal)d• wich as she sent off messages to Brazil. If you want to travel but can't, why not go with Anne Morrow Lindbergh and her husband on a. flight around the North At lantic?
OUT OF THE MAIL According to the school paper of Manual Training high school, the pupils of three high schools in Peoria, Illinois, have the privilege during school. Officials of a motor company have present ed t he schools with a: new P ontiac to be used in t hese classes. The car has dual equipment, t hat is, t wo clutches, two brakes, and other parts. From the Hide Park Weekly of Chicago, Illinois, comes the fol~ lowing advice for g um chewers, To become an artist, follow these pointers : Place the gum in your moutn and move your molars over it until it has reached a cert ain st at e of flexibility. Then take your thumb and index finger and pull, holding onto one end of the gum with your ivor ies. If you can stretch your gum out t o about five feet in length and succeed in returning it to your mouth without getting it a ll over your eyes, ears and nose, you have passed the course and deserve your degree. The st udents of the Nort h Cent ral High School in Spokane, · Washington have brought in the use of the t hree "R's" for bicycle riders. The first "R" is Registration while the second is Recogni• t ion and comes with the registra• t ion. The third "R" is Regulation and means the making of proper laws and enforcing t hem.
Louise and Lucllle Baker, juniors are probably the most identical t wins in Lincoln high school. The teacher s in classrooms have a hard time telling them apart, so one is usually seated on one side of the r oom and the other on the other side.

THE ADVOCATE
THREE
Home Economics Club Chicagoans Consider Nebraska /u1nping Off Place, Delegates' Experiences Show Visits Fur Store; Coats Observed Fur Samples Shown; Alaskan Seal Fully Explained; Cleaning, Cutting Demonstrated The home economics club paid
a visit to a local fur store where tnio:y not onl~· saw fur pelts of all
kinds but fur coats being made and cleaned. The store has its own cold storage vault which is kept at the freezing point. Cold air tends to revive the furs back to their natural state and to keep the tanned leather from getting hard. The vault is large enough to hold from three to four thousand coats .at one time and the cost is only two percent of the value of the fur piece. Shown Sample of Furs The group saw samples of practically every kind of fur that is used for coats. Nebraska itself has skunk, raccoon, opossum, wolf and silver fox which are raised on farms. Otter was formerly found 1n this state, but the best today comes from Canada and the Pacific northwest. The United States not only exports, but impor ts furs as well. From Russia come caracul, a type of lamb, Russian sable and pony, which is from a wild animal about four to four and one-half feet in h eight. Fisher, which is quite expensive and unusual with long rich black hair, comes from Germany and Russia. Treaty Made Concerning Alaska Seat One of the most interesting stones told about furs is the one concer:r.lng the Alaskan sea1. It seems in the past, fishers and hunters w ere killing the Alaska sea l without any thought of the future until the United States government had to m ake a treaty with Russia and J apan which gave the United States the right to control the killing of the Alaska seal. In return for this Russia and Jap an are a llowed a certain p ercent of the number killed ea ch year. Only s~ais reaching the age of two y ear s are killed and in this way the government has brought b ack in full quantity a h erd which wa s almos t los t. These Alaska seal p elts a re handled only by one company which h as its house in St. Louis a nd each pelt h as a government sta mp. Fur compa nies are a ble to buy the Alaskan seal pelts direct from the government at public auction twice a year . This Alaska seal ls the only real s eal, as t he Hudson seal is dyed muskrat, w hile the northern seal is dyed r abbit from N ew Zeala nd and Australia. Group Observed Coats Being Made The club next visited the fact ory where they saw the full process of a fur coat coming to life. Men first ma t ch and cut the furs making zig zag c rosses which ar e sewed, doved fashion, and do not show.

Lincoln Plays Grand Island With .Title At Stake Red-Blacl~ Risl{s Undefeatecl
Numerologist Needed By Lincoln Gridsters The old question of whether 13 Is lucky or unlucky will probably be debated by all who are ·interested in Lincoln high school's football game with Grand Island November 24. Coach Roy Mandery of Grand Island high school Is in his thirteenth year of coaching. He had winning teams in 1933 and 1936. As to 1939? 1?? Lincoln high will have to prove that thirteen is unlucky and go out on the field to fight and win!
State Record In Pia ying Twice Beaten Grand Islanders Links Play Final Game Of Regular Season; Ten Seniors Will Wear Colors For Last Time Eager to reveuge last years 28-0 defeat suffered at the hands of th~ Links, the Third City team from Grand Island invades the terrltory of the Red and Black Friday afternoon. The Links can clinch the state championship by
G. A. A. to View Demonstrations Different ways of walking, skipping, and running which are
whipping the twice beaten Islanders who have had only a mediocre aeason. Ten Seniors in Lineup.
Wearing the Red and Black for the last time will be twenty-one aeniors, ten of whom are in the starting lineup. Of the first string, only Bud King will return for football next fall. Links Outweight Islanders.
Boasting a heavy team, the Islanders first string will, however, be outweighed about 11 pounds per man. The starting lineup will average 161 while the line weighs 165. The team's average is considera,bly lowered by Wenger, starting quarterback, who tips the scales at 129. The Links will average about 173 in the line and the backfield is an edge heavier at 174. Grand Island, howeyer, is capable of putting a starting lineup· on the field that averages 202 pounds per man. In reserve are a 254 pound guardsman and two tackles weigh.~ ing 208 and 238. Grand Island Has Fair Season.
• . The Islanders have had only a fair season, beating Superior 13-0, Columbus 20-6, Kearney 19-0 and Fairbury 26-13, but dropping two games, to Hastings 14-7 and Creighton Prep 28-0. However, Coach Ro:v :Mamfor:y ha;i t he team all steamed up with the hope of bqrsting Lincoln's hopes of the state title. The Third City lads will be hampered by the loss of Kindrick Beck, top notch back. Bill Marlett and Sam Mehring also may not see heavy duty because of in· juries. The Links have three men on the injured list: Mel Keszler, Henry Reichel and Spunky Spomer. However, all are expected to be in shape for the game. Coach Beechner, who e"outed the "Islanders" said, "That Grand Island has possibly one of the largest lines in the sta,te and can be compared to Fordham's Seven Blocks of Granite of a few years back. "But," he added, "If our boys play as good ball as they did against Omaha Central, I think we can win."
Sports Chatter Richard "Spunky" S p o m e r, tackle on Coach Beechner's foot• ball team, bruised his leg just below the knee during the Omaha Central game. At first "Spunky's"' injury was not believed serious, and the physi;ian said it was only a muscle bruise, but since then
it has been getting worse and the chances are, he will play in the Grand Island game, on November 24, the finai game of the football season for Lincoln. Bob True, junior, is one of the contendants who will be battling it out for a first team basketball berth. "Tootsie" is big, fast, and a dead shot on baskets. He played last year on the reserve basketball team, and steady practice at the Y. M. C. A. combined with hi::t natural form should earn him a po:oition rm the firs': te,tm.
Harry Kuklin is an amateur but expert telephone pole climber as well as a candid camera wi?:ard. He was seen clambering up one of the poles in the oval Wednesday, third period, just to get a picture .:;f his sp9rts class scrimmaging. Harry got his picture, but suffered many splinters, it is feared. Joe Toman, Lincoln high coach and former physical education instructor at Lincoln high, was a middleweight wrestler at the Uni.versity of Nebraska during hi~ sophomore, junior, and senior years. He was in the class of '29 at the university and won second place as a wrestler during the Big Six meet. In the National Collegiate meet he won fourth place.

Close Season Remain Undef1eated Untied and Unscored Upon for Third Time Climaxing a perfect season with a 7 to 0 victory over the Omaha Tech reserves, who are reserve champions of.Omaha, Joe Toman's Lincoln reserves kept intact their perfect record of being unbeaten, untied and unscored upon, for a period of three consecutive years. Reserves Unscored On.
This years reserve team boasted balanced power and a great defensive line which held all oppo• nents at bay. Colleg1i View, the only tearn to get ins) de the Lincoln 20 this season, m2.rched to the 4 yard line where a valiant goalline stand kept the double stripe uncrossed. The backfield, not to be outdone, has score::! a total of 76 points in furnishing the teams offensive punch. Elmer Maser, end, for half the season led the gre~.ter Lincoln league with 12 points, scored against Bethany. Connie Healy, playing the other end, was one of the most consistent players on the squad, being an able pass snagger and very dependable on defense. John Goe and "Pookey" Boehmer, the tackles, besides being the bulwarks of the line, and checking many an enthusiastic back at the line of scrimmagE·, were con· stantly charging the opposition's punters and passers. Guards Save 13 Points.
Holding down the guard positions were two of th1l scrappiest guards in Lincoln, Dean White and Abbie Klein, who as well as holding down their po1:itions contributed 13 points, unusual for guards. Klein collec·:ed on two field goals and an 1lxtra point, while White won his teammates acclaim by scoring ::he winning touchdown in the Tech game on a trick play. D y n a m i t e Jim Deffenbaugh', center, and Dale Nelson, fullback, teamed up behind the line to nullify the few mistakes made by the line, one of the boys being in on nearly every tackle. Dale Wismer, ace back, made his contribution in the kicking department, getting off an 80 yard punt from his own E:nd zone in the College View game. Dick Chapin, halfback, helped baffle the opponents with his clashing end runs while Ed Hall, quarterback, passed and ran his team to many of their first downs as well as being a capable field general.

Links Seconds Remain Undefeated and Have Not Been Scored On; May Play Deshler Pushing over the lone score in the third quarter the Links re· serves defeated the Omaha Tech reserves 7-0 at Tech field last Thursday to stay undefeated and unscored on. Prior to the game, the Tech seconds were undefeated and held the Omaha reserve championship. The Reserves may play one more game at Deshler, Nebraska. The first half was just a see· saw with neither team making a serious threat. The reserves got as far as the Tech 30 yard line as the half ended. Reserves Score in Third.
Showing increased pep and fire, the Links reserves took the ball soon after the kickoff when Jim Deffenbaugh intercepted a Tech pass and ran it back to the Omaha 40 yard line. With Dale Wismer crashing the line and Dick Chapin skirting the ends, the Lincoln subs carried the ball to the Tech 10yard line before the advance was stopped when a pass to Dean Bottorff was incomplete and the Tech subs took the ball on their 20 yard line. After attempting three rushes. the Tech reserves attempted a punt which John Goe broke through and blocked, giving the Links subs the ball on the 10 yard stripe.

Lincoln Sophs Whip Southsiders The Lincoln high sophomores chalked up a 13 to O win at the expense of the College View reserves at the Southsider's gridiron, Thursday. The highly keyed band Of northfielders played their best game of the year to avenge a 19 to 0 setback suffered earlier in the year at the hands of the College View substitutes. The sophomores, using a series of plunges, passes and end runs, advanced to the reserves two yard line where "Duggy" Doyle plunged for the first marker, thus giving the sophomores a six point lead as the half ended. The sophomores' second touchdown came in the third quarter when Yakel broke loose for a forty-five yard jaunt around end to score, standing up. The pass from Fox to Hawkins was good for the extra point to make it 1~ to 0.
L.H.S. Boys See Hockey Contest' Harold Lovell, Joe O'Conner, and Pinky Montague, former Links, journeyed to Omaha last Wednesday to witness one of the fastest hockey games in the middle west. The game was played in the Ak-Sar-Ben building between the Omaha Knights and the Tulsa, Oklahoma Wildcats. It was a rough and tumble affair all the way through and three men were carried out unconscious. This was the first game Joe or Harold had ever seen, but Pinky is an old hockey fan. The boys plan to attend more games at a later date. The Knights won the game by a score of 6 to 1.

The transmitter is run on a 200 watt frequency band which has been tested to reach a radius of 18 miles. The club had planned to visit W9EKK, an amateur station operated by Mike Kelly.

The Maroons failed to penetrate the Capitol City boys 30 :yard line as their vaunted aerial attack failed. The Reserves from Lincoln made several threats, but could find their scoring punch only once. Looking good for Lincoln were Jim Deffenbaugh, Da le Wismer, Eddie Hall, John Goe and Dale Nelsen, who all played the whole game. Dean White and Connie Healy also were exceptional. Crosley and McMullen were Tech's best. Elmer "E. R ." Maser, first string end on this years undefeated Reserve team, wins the title of hard• luck player of the year. In the Re· tierve victory over Bethany, Elmer scored two touchdowns to take the conference scoring lead, but broke a finger in the attempt and was out for about a week. Last Thursday, during the Tech game Elmer supposedly sprained his ankle. He left the game but walked around after returning home and was apparently none the worse. However, he arrived at school Monday with his foot in a cast and the news that he had suffered a fractured sprain.

Christmas Parade Is Pompous Procession " Most all the time, the whole year round, There ain't no flies on me, But just 'fore Christmas I'm as good as I .kin be." Eugene Field. Harken, boys and girls, it's '!letting close to Christmas, so take your cue. That Christmas Is near Is ascertained by the fact that the afternoon of December the first, one may behold, weav]Jlg down "0" street of our fair city, the annual Ch r istmas pa geant parade. Sponsored by the chamber of commerce in conjunction with the city recreational departmen t, this pompous procession yearly inaugurates officially the yuletide shopping season in Lincoln. James Lewis of the city recreational depa rtment was the originator of the idea. He presented it to the chamber of commerce who readily accepted it. That was six years ago and since it has been as much a part of Christmas in Lincoln as the word itself. Lincoln high school's band has usually been one of the features of t he parade. Each year many of the students participate for their own amazement . Always presented the day after Thanksgiving the parade is designed to bring to mind t he fact that there are but twentyfour more days till Ch ristmas -unless Roosevelt c hanges it.

National Honor Society ls Recognition f01· Ability The national honor society is the one organization Lincoln high offers, which is based mainly on scholarship. Not entirely, fo.r the other factors of citizenship, extra-curricular activities and service to the school also figure in the requirements for rµembership, but the most important is scholarsh~p. Unlike ~~ny clubs which only require pupil to have ab1hty, the national honor society requires him to have made good use of that ability for his entire stay at Lincoln high. Fortunately each of us has his own part!cular ·aptitudes. Our world would be. dull ~n deed if some of us were not mechamcally mclined others athletically and still others artisticahy or scholastically. Each ~f. these r~ ceives its particular kind of recogmt.10n ~nd it is impossible to say that any one field is superior to the other. So it is that the national honor society pro:vides special recognition for schola~shi~. Those who were admitted have done a fme Job and they deserve the congratulations and esteem of their classmates. But for ihose who didn't quite make the grade, and to those who are talented alo:i~ a different line, there are equal opportumties. Lincoln high offers nearly every type of opportunity and life itself offers many more to those who are willing to work for what they want.
Appreciate Democracy; Peace Should Be Ours To all who heard him, the talk concluding a series of lectures by Prince Lowenstein at the University of Nebraska recently, bore the evidence of being a message from a misunderstood notion and it was evident that he was speaking not only for himself but for the majority of the European peoples in advocating an unselfish and lasting peace. Teachers and pupils of Lincoln high who were present at the final lecture will not soon forget the courageous message which he presented. He made an emphatic plea for the United States to reman a neutral combatant and the voice of the world's conscience. 'rhis peace message from an European, makes a person stop to think. If one who has witnessed the loss of one's country and seen the gradual death of one's principals, can, still ask for a lenient peace for his enemies, surely this should influence those who are working for peace in our country. It should be something to remember when this war is over and the :new peace is made. We, the students of a democratic school ahould appreciate the ideals of a democracy and as young Americans, we should begin working now and strive in the future for world unity, and a world democracy, so that all may know the blessings of liberty.
Thanksgiving's Importance ls Hidden by Confusion In spite of all the confusion, Nebraska actually will celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow. Ever since President Roosevelt issued his proclamation, the resulting confusion has bewildered the country, President Roosevelt gave his reason for the change as being to help business, but so far it seems as though the radio comedians have been the only ones to benefit. But in. spite of the now slightly worn-out jokes on the subject, the situation really does have a serious aspect. No matter what the business men who inspired the change seem to think, Thanksgiving business is the result, not the cause of Thanksgiving day. The Pilgrim Fathers might have been rather perturbed if they could have forseen the commercialization of their sacred day. Of course the actual date of Thanksgiving day has never been made a law. It is a law that we celebrate such a day, but the date of celebration has always been established by Presidential proclamation. It was during the Civil war that President Lincoln chose the last Thursday in November. reestablishing after a long a.bsence, a precedent begun by George Washington. That precedent continued until this 1939. Most Americans aren't sufficiently sentimental to care whether they eat their turkey on the twenty-third or on the thirtieth of November, but at least we all hope the president and the governors will get together by next "7QJV"

OPEN FORUM To the Editor: Why doesn't the school have a supply shop, is a question that has arisen among many of the pupils. It would be a great help for those with poor memories. If they ran out of notebook paper or lost their pencils, they would be able to secure t hem at school. Another case in which a supply shop would be a great convenience, is that it would save pupils, who very seldom do down· t own after school, from making a trip especially to buy notebook paper, pencils, lead or erasers. I t hink this would be a good idea and certainly a convenience. BARBARBA DWORSKY. To the Editor: I should like to make a correct ion, if I may, on the outcome of the Hi-Y pie-eating contest held recently between Ed McNamara and John Goe.

There are n umerous reasons why it is impossible to have language clubs in Lincoln high. These reasons have been given severa l times, but they don't seem to be very well known. One reason is that they have been tried before in previous years, but because there were so many other clubs competing for time, it was almost impossible to g et t ime to work out worthwhile programs. So, it was decided that more pupils would get t he benefit from such activities by incorporating them in the regular classroom work. Almost every language teacher intersperses some games, songs, travel talks or short plays from time to time into her work and thus brings to the st udent s some outside activity connected with the language. If you are interested in a for· eign language, you may get the .same activities in a foreign lan• guage class. GEORGIA WALKER.
OUT OF THE MAIL Students of Roosevelt high school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, saw two exhibitions of television, one on cartooning, arid the other on the use of sound films in television. The schools of Witchita, :Kansas, are entering in an interschool traffic contest to be held all over the city, a ccording to the Messenger. Tl:\e traffic violations for every student are 'to be listed by the police and a report given once a month. The loosing school each month will be p1·esented with an old car which must rest on the school's lawn until the school climbs out of the bottom position. When the contest is over the winning school will receive a safety p laque. The school library of Pierre, S. du Pont h igh school in Wimlington, Delaware, had a miniature book fair, .the theme of which was "Books Around the World." The exhibit was in the form of a me· dieval fair wit h booths and the library was aided by the work shop, and art a nd sewing departments to make it inipressive. The Beaver of Dillon, Montana, has at last found the question which is absolutely supreme as far as coherence goes. The question is, "If it takes a horse-fly a year to drink a barrel of rainwater, how long will it take a frog with a wooden leg~o kick an elephant's car full of toothpaste?"

(Could this be where the cust om of a Thanksgiving day football game began?) But America was not the first country to have a day of Thanks• giving in celebration of the completed harvest. The ancient Romans and Greeks had harvest festivals. A h arvest festival banquet of the Greeks would have lacked the turkey so cha racter· istic of our Thanksgiving.

brains, fresh cheese, and honey, cooked in rich broth, and served up in a fig leaf wrapper was one of these. At the Roman festival, which lasted a week, on the final day of the celebration, all the com· mon people gathered in t he race course, where the nobility threw nuts and other trifles to them. The Druids in England, the people of Leyden, Holland, all had special harvest festival days. In pre-Reformation days in England, i1! was the custom for every person in the congregation t o take a loaf made of new wheat t o church on Lammas-Day. In .Canada, near Bay St. P aul, when the last sheaf was harvested, it was taken to t he master of t he house, who then invited all the harvesters to dinner and a dance a nd celebration followed. Quite a .bit different from our idea of a Thanksgiving meal, their din· ner consisted of mutton, milk a nd pancakes with maple sugar. Baron of beef, boar's head, and plum pudding were generally forsaken for the less "superstitious" and more American turkey, Indian pudding, and pumpkin pie in the colonies.

in the order of their importance down t he t able t oward the foot. In the middle of the last cen• tury, P ark A venue people k ept open house Thanksgiving day, much as they do on New Year's now. One, known as "Turner, the generous," dispensed a "peculiai'!y seductive eggnogg" which was sipped through a straw. A box of "·cigars was given to any guest who could drink three of t hese eggnoggs. Fifty years ago, getting a Thanksgiving dinner was a much more strenuous process t han it is t oday. One cookbook recommends t hat "if you live in the city and have no hens of your own, it is best to buy eggs as you want them. For most cakes you will need from fourteen to eighteen eggs, so look t o your supply before you start your cake." One of those cake recipes began, "Take a dozen fresh eggs, a pound of butter, two pounds of loaf sugar, a pint of heavy cream- " Women hadn't begun dieting then. Now, the Thanksgiving t utitey "has driven the Christm::-.s goose from all tables ; and on t he other hand the mince pie of Christmas shares the honor of completing the Thanksgiving indigestion with t he pumpkin pie which once · monopolized the work." But Thanksgiving isn't all food; this nation, which has the only s·p ecial Thanksgiving day, . has

Ma ny Greetings. On a double sheet of illustrative stationery sh owin g points of in ter est from St. Joseph, Missouri, " W h e r e Western Democracy Meets Southern Hospita lity" came a gr eeting from D. H. Timmerman, executive secretary of the cha1:.1ber of commerce, Si!lce Franl~lin Ham ilton is now at Ca:n bridge, Ma ssa chusetts, ent ering his first year a t law, his m other wrote for him as his reply coald not be here for t he m eeting. She quot es him as writing from Harvard that the east is all right to get an education in, but for a place to live, give him the west. The first woman heard from was Miss· Ruth Dia mond, departm ent of physical education · for women at the Municipal university of Oma ha. Otho K. De Vilbiss, '24, who is now secret a ry to the Governor of Nebra ska, expressed his r eg rets that he could not attend the reunion. From the Department of Justice at Wash ington, D. C., comes a lett er from Wendell Berge, special a ssistant to the Attorney General. Mr. Ber ge writes, " Our principal activity this fall has been a nation-w ide investigation of unlawful restrains of trade in the building and construction indust ries. It is our belief t hat if the a rbitrary restraints on competl· tion, wit h whfch the building ind ustry is shot t hrough, are rem oved, it will materially redu ce building costs and en courage n ew construction.'' "In my opinion the student activities t hat ! r emembered in high school were of fil.r higher q uality t han those in college," w rites Charles Ledwith, attorneya t-law, Lincoln. "The present active members should not be too h opeful of finding a successor or counterpart t o the Forum in college. College students seem not to have the time ·for a nything organized along the lines of"" the Forum. It has been brought forcibly home to me how few indeed of the younger lawyers have had adequ ate training and backgr ound Pi public speaking. Oftentimes I think how valua ble is t he experience that I gained in Forum."

21 Graduating Seniors Play Final Game For Lincoln High; Three Teams See Action Blasting a helpless Third City team Unmercifully', the :Red and Black gridsters ended their season in a blaze of glory by trampling Grand Island 54-0, Friday night. Spumed on by a chill fall wind, th~ Lin~s mythical champions scored frequently in every quarter but the first. This is the third successive mythical state championship won by the Red and Black. Outside ot tossing a couple of passes, Grand Island showed no real power, and the beefy line offered little trouble for the hard charging Links linemen. Grand Island scored only three first downs to the 21 chalked up by the Capital city gang. After a slow first quarter that was dulled by fumbles, the Links began to click. In the opening canto, Debus, Jennings and Reichel brought the ball t\) the Grand Islll.lld 20 when Howard Debus tumbled and the Islanders recovered. Links Score Often. Early in the second period the Links began their scoring parade. King smashed for 30 yards straight through the line and Reichel added 10 more. King again took the ball and plowed 15 yards to pay dirt, but fumbled and recovered on the G. I. 3. He then broke center for the initial tally. Debus contributed an extra point on a place kick. "Willie" JenrJngs set up the pins for the second counter by carrying an Is!ancier punt back to its 22. .Tarring Buddy King then split center for twenty yards before he was knocked out ot bounds. Henry Reichel then did his bit 9n an off tackle play and, with King booting the -placement, the s~ore re1d 14-Q.

Soon after the kickoff, J ennings scooted back 85 yards to the Islanders 26 yard strip and on the next play, Debus smashed straight through tackle to score standing up. His placement was perfect
the ' opening plays of the fourth quarter. Jones, Vaughan and Lebsack collaborated· to carry the ball to the 21 yard line from where Jones raced off tackle for 21 yards and the tally. Wes Maser made a beautiful one-handed stab of w'eygint's pass for the extra point. Seniors Finish Game.
At this point in the melee the graduating seniors returned to the frey to complete their high school career. After a poor punt King again broke away for 25 yards t o the 21. Jennings thert took a reverse from Debua and eluding several tacklers scored the seventh touchdown. Swarmed by a host of Lincoln linemen, Johnson's punt was blocked and Bob Gillaspie, recovering the ball, wiggled his way 32 yards for the final score. Debus added another place kick to make the final score 54-0.
Mel Johnson helped prolong the 11Iaughter by recovering Scott's blocked punt on the Islanders 10 yard stripe. King's plunge was good for two and Jennings crossed the last chalk line to boost the acore to 33-0. Debus whipped a bullet pass to King for the extra point.
Islanders Never Threaten.
During this time, the outplayed Islander team never even threat· ened. Its aeriar attack didn't click and the running attack was con· sistently bogged down. The whole Links team turned in a grand performance which was high-lighted by two juniors. King and Jones.

Courtesy Contest Reveals Excellent Spirit of Student Body "Cou rtesy is the yardstick Of conduct, divided into inch es of r e• spect and yards of consideration which measure the character." This definition written by Shirley Kushner, senior , is an example of the fine work that was done in English classes by the studen ts, who were all required to writ e their definitiens of courtesy. The pupils sh owed a fine s pirit of cooperation and t he committee is v ery p leased w ith t he r esult s. A pproximat ely 1800 definition s w ere submitted. .As so many w ere excellen t , a few excellent ones may be p ut before the st uden t body for a vote. There were some extremely humorou s definitions, but since this is a cou rtesy contest, the committee decided to p ract ice politeness and consideration of oth· ers in not printing these.
Som e d efinitions showed real thought which shows that even t h e discussion of courtes y ha!! a desir· able effect up on the s tudents. Many p upils are volunteering their services to the g rowing citizenship group which s tarted wit h a n ucleus of five from the student council. With a growing interest in cou rtesy and consider a tion, perh aps, event u ally all Lincoln high s tudents will become " cour tesy conscious."

Cup Gets Annual Polishi11g; Contest Open to All Pupils Giving an annual polishing to the Faulkner cup, the Forum throws a new light not only on the cup, but also on the oratorical contest, which this year, for the first t ime since its origin, will be open to all students in Lincoln high. The cup which was given to the Forum, oratorical club, by· E. J. F'aulkner, Sr., when his soh was president of the club, is awarded to the contestant best delivering any oration of his choice, original or otherwise, on any timely. topic of the past or present. Originally' the contest was open only to members of the Forum and was intended primarily to arouse their interest in oratory. Because of this requirement, many who would otherwise have competed could not qualify, since outside work or other necessary aft~r school activities kept them from attending club meeting. With no qualifications other than a limit on the quality and the length of the speech, u1an3 o:f the would-h!l orators of 'the ;school
will now have a chance to show their ability :who otherwise could not compete. Opening of the contest to all increases the interest of the whole student body and will make the competition more truly represent· ative of the school. Perhaps in years to come the Faulkner cup contest will become as much a school affair as other competition wit hin the school and between Lincoln high and other schools.
300 Students Can't Be
Wrong, or Can They? Of course, a courteous boy isn't "sissy," -or ninety-nme per cent of about 300 pupils representing a cross-section of the school are . on the wrong track. And if fifty million Frenchmen can't. be wrong, why should that very definite majority be incorrect 1 Yet a walk through the halls convinces one that either .this fact is true or courtesy is a plague to be avoided like the measles. According to the poll, it is not among the teachers that courtesy is lacking, but among the pupils, for the results· show that more think-pupils are not as courteous to one another as to teachers, pupils do not return the courtesy rendered them by teachers and teachers are as courteous to pupils as they are to one another. Th~ reason for this may be, as many stated m the poll, that not enoug·h direct instruction in etiquette is given in public schools. But directly contradicting themselves this same majority stated that one can be courteous without observing t he rules and instructions of Emily Post and other books on correct conduct. "Courtesy is the yardstick of conduct, divided into inches of respect and yards of consideration which measure the character '' is one of the many good definitions submitted in the recent courtesy contest. According to this definition and the students themselves pupils seeking. to be courteous do not need instructions in etiquette, they merely need to apply respect and consideration to their conduct in regard to others.
'You and I' Puts Feather In School's Hat Yes, ''You and I'' is over and not only is it a feather in the hat of the senior class, but also in the hat of the school as a whole for last Friday and Saturday nights pupils of Lincoln high proved that they could shake off their "junior .high school complex" and also adapt themselves to innovations. Not only was the type of play far. different from the usual plays, but a new type· of character made his initial appearance on the Lincoln high stage-Houdini. This adds another feather to the school's cap, for most -0f the whistling was confined to the casts themselves in their portrayal of the various characters. The new plan of closing the doors after the curtain went up was doubly successful jn that it was easier for the cast to make · them· selves heard and enabled the audience to en• joy a really :fine comedy. Congratultaions all around are in order, not only to the fine casts, executive and busi· ness staffs, but also to a very fine audience.

SHORTY REFORMS ~~ ~6ur.msy '"' -rne. YA~D511c.~ OF CONDUCT Dl\JIDcD
The new leaf has been turned (you 're on page 'two' now) and your new dispenser of idle prattle, tattle, and babble is none other t han that scintillating, coruscating-ME. Of course I have that optimistic, cheerful, hilarious assistant of mine-Overcast Osca.r-subordinating me as usual. Here, Oscar, come on over and :ineet the boys. (He's a little bashful so I doubt if he '11 even look at youse girls) . " Hello, everybody, ulp, gosh I didn't know there was any girls here or I wouldn't have coi.ne. It 's a lovely d ay, though, isn't it., but it '11 probably rain before noon." Thank you, Overcast. (That 's a pretty big 5peech for him t6 give all at once. )
* * * * Well, well, here I am down th.is far in the colyum already and I haven't done much yet. I must t ell you about Miss Betty Barker and her public speaking class. It seems that a student had just finished his speech about dogs. Our teacher commented, ' 'I don't know whether or not it's t he Barker in me, but I. like dogs.'' Then one Bright Pupil reflect ed, " Do you like trees too1"-Get iU referring of <iourse to the bark. * * * * I shouldn 't be t elling on Overcast Oscar but this is too much to let pass. It seems that he went t o a frienl 's wedding last week. I asked . him if it was a very big affair and he said, " Why I lined Up twice to kiss t he bride and no one even not iced! " Oh, he's not so bashful sometimes as you think-but then he did blush when he said it. * * * * Did you ever hear the one about the ship captain during the storm ? He says to one pas• senger, "If this storm keeps up I'll have to heave to." Passenger : " Me too." Wow that one was a fugitive from a slaughter house-it smelled. • * * • By the looks of all these girls around t his school wearing gold footballs one would think t hey were the ones that played the football this fall. (Also a look a.t the girls t hemselves confuses one.)

Here 's a cute little poem which we (Oscar and I) thunked up : Big words have always stumbled me Animadversion, transubstantiation, gee! There's levoduction, lucubration, and lobation, Pediatrician, coadination, .a nd coagulation. Some guys that I hear use big words I'd like to knock as high as the birds. I 'll bet that'd teach those guys a leshun (pun) And stop all this etomological pro gres~ion. Os.car-r ! ! Pick me up. Somebody just hit me with a brick ! * * * * Say, if you fed a cow soap, would she give ~liavi ng

* * * .. Some girl named Stoddard just now came rushing in here and shouted at me, " What did t he ocean say to the ship as it passed by 1" Well, of course I didn 't know what an ocean could say so I answered, " I don;t know." Then she yells, "It didn't say anything - it just waved! " and she slammed the door and left.
..
I hear that the chemistry class considers one of the uses of carbon (in' this case the diamond form) to be for mat rimonial purposell. I disguised Oscar and stood him up in the hall t o get some comment on things and such. This is what he told me he had overheard: Two girls talking about the assembly previewing the senior play-First girl: " 'l'hat surely was a swell assembly, but I couldn 't hear the boy speaker.'' Second girl : '' You silly! that's what made it a 'teaser'." One sophomore to another upon getting those grades last Tuesday- ' ' I know at least twenty who got 7 's in my histor y class.' ' " More than that failed in my English class. Something is surely wrong with these teachers! " "Gee! touch me, I passed! " There was once a little moth who entered a wool eating contest. She outate the other little moths and Won the pr ize. Later she ent ered other contests and won them also. By this time she had entered city, state, and district contests, but now was her big chance- a chance to enter the national wool eating contest. Well, she started eating and ate four yards of wool. She was so full she didn 't think she could eat another inch but she managed to eat ·one more yard. Finally she had eat en so much that she began to cry. Did you ever see a. mothball ! I

You wouldn't knock the jokes I use Could you but see t hose I refuse.
* .. * * The other day Oscar's girl friend went down to \vatch t he paper being printed but she fell into the press. Well, Oscar just laughed and laughed, for he knew she wasn 't the type. · Oscar says a bore is a person who t alks so much about himself that you do not get a chance to talk about yourself. I guess I've lost another pupil said the professor as his glass eye rolled down the sink.

Well, say I, "Enough of this drivel-more anon (next week to be exact.) Until then I'll leave you with what the grocery store scales 1aid to the dust-" Get out of my wei gh !" Boy oh boy! ! that 's original too.

OPEN FORUM To the Editor: Boys who play north field and reserve football after school on the fi ld north of the .school hav e to 11tand the torture of get ting stuck by stickers which cover t he field and also falling on rocks which should not be there and which sometimes cause bruises. If this field were dragged by a d ragger or harrowed, as the field in the oval, it would help the boys a lot. The small field east of the school is also covered with stones. This field is use.d by the girls gymnasium classes and the boys sports classes. After games in the oval the field ·b ecomes very hard and skins the legs and arms of the players who practice there. Some of these burns, received by the boys, may cause infection. Most small schools in the state have a better surfaced field than ours, even though it may be a cow pasture covered with weeds rather than rocks. Why can't Lincoln high spend that m oney that they use on water for the field to put in some kind of gras11 such as buffalo grass ? BILL CRAWFORD. 0
Lincoln High Girls Return From Deep South With Many Interesting Tales
For some time now t.he question of new band uniforms has been in the limelight here at Lincoln high school. Many ideas, schemes, etc., have been submitted for raising money, and $545 has been .raised, but yet we hear that there a re some who say nothing has been done. All the proceeds of .the mid-year concert, which is to be held Sat urday evening, January 20, are to go toward new uniforms. The ticke ts a re to be t wenty-five cents each and will go on sale soon. You may be interested to know that the Kearney band ,about a year ago, 11pent $3,000 for 100 uniform!!. The exact a.mount our uniforms will cost has not yet been det ermined. Everyone should now under" stand the necessity of new uni· forms and now everyone will have a chance to help expand the uniform fund by buying tickets for the mid-year concert and encou r· aging their friends to do the same, HAROLD GROSSMAN.
BETWEEN THE COVERS Do you kno.w that it is nearly always a college graduate who ia eligible to become a G-Man? That there are fourt een different f ed· eral law enforcement agencies? That the U. S. Post Office ln~pec tc;irs make more major arres ts than almost any other branch of the service? All these and many more questions are answered in "Oin' G: M:en'; by Irving Crump and J ohn W. Newton. The G·Men are equally at h ome in' thickly populated center s or off in the broad expanses· of the count r y and they deal equally well with the. cunningness of modern crimi· .nals or the · craftiness of the Indians, as shown in a recent murder case on an Indian reservation, which stopped a blood feud be· tween the Yavapais and the Navajo Indians. T.ne inaide 1torie1 are brought . out of the Urachel kidnapping, the army arson plot, of Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson, of the Machine· Gun women and of the sinking of the "Rose Murphy ."

Where north met south at Vicks· burg in one of the bloody battles of the Civil w ar the f eelin g still runs high against the Yankees, commented Harriet and Mar ga ret Hayes who have just returned from a trip through the south.

INTO lNOIE.S OF Q.E.s plCT
it, the play " You and I ," presented by the senior class, had a very ap· preciative audien ce, great ly imp roved over some of the preceding plays. Perhaps because of t his ver y a ttentive audience, or' perhaps because of t he fine select ion a nd coa ching of t he ch aract ers, this play proved to be one of the finest performances offered in :inany a day. The type of play itself was a n innovation. It was a modern comedy . In t he way of new idea s a new t ype of a ctor was introduced. The addition wa s H oudini, t he po· lice dog, who lived up to all the ideals of a true t rooper . Th e only d isapointment w as that one saw so little of h im. The pla y itself concerned a frust rated businessm an (D a n Bernd, F riday night, and William Bouws ma, Satur day night), his wife (Sue Bagley, Marjorie St oneman), t heir son ( Paul T oren, Al· v in Lugn), and h is fi ancee (P olly P a rm ele, Jane Wat kins ). One of the fine points of the presentat ion was that t here w as just one main plot; n o involved idea which would k eep the audien ce wonder ing wha t it was all about . F ine support was g iven by J ean S chleuning a nd Lois Scofield, alt ernating as the maid, Rober t S ch aufelberger and Earl Lamp· s hire in du al roles, J ack R okahr a nd Paul Rehmer, and of course, H oudini. An exce1lent piece of com edy r elief w as provided by J ean and Lois as a servant with v isions of "higher things" a nd by J ack and P a ul as a bachelor w ho appr eciated t he a dvantages of being free. Bob an d E arl g a ve smooth p erfor m ances as a blust ering soap m agnate. Congratulations are a lso in ord er for :the executive s t aff. The plan of closing the door a fter t he curtain went up seem ed t o work very well. For once one could settle down and enjoy himself ins t ead of being jostled a rou nd by late arr ivals. Entertainment was provided be· fore the play a nd dur ing int ermission!:! by t he Lincoln hig·h orchestra. Those concerned in designing and making the scenery should be complim ented. The effect in the artist's studio was very good a nd puttjng on a ceiling a dded much. Although there were a ctually no steps leading t o the l!ltudio, the actors made realistic the action of ascending and descending. The portraits are a pr oduct of C. 0 . Morrison's camer a and en· lar ger. Af ter enlarging t he p r ints he tinted them.

Printing presses in the printing shop of Lincoln high school were without power, third, fourth, and half of fifth period Wednesday afternoon. The cause of the work coming to a standstill was a short in an electric cable which caused it to burn out. Then the idea came up to let the boys run the press. Pumping the presses all third period without rest worked up an appetite, so when lunch time came the boys were ready to leave in a hurry. This is the second time the power has been cut off, but the first time it was off only a few minutes. The boys who pumped the pre.Jses are Allen Wilson, Harold Stoehr, Edward Beltz, Kenneth Gerlach, Harold Gies and Donald H anneman.

She stated it was only those who w ere either minus a few brain cells or had a junior high complex that laughed during a diamatic scene, cried thr ough the f unny ones or whistled when someone walks onto the stage.

Dan Fahrenbruch, former Links, proved himself quite a prophet when he wrote home August 26, 1939, a short time before hostili ties began in Europe. According to Dan there was a cha nce of "complete dissolution o! Poland- and a final complete division of the nation between Rus• sia, the new ally, and Germany."

From Tannent·erg field in Ho~ henstein to Konigsberg, Fahrenbruch saw three battalions of r eaerve units on march toward the Corridor line. The equipment was all new.

Who Said Cinderella's Slipper Was Glass? Everyone young or old has heard the story of "Cinderella and Her Glass Slipper," but did• you ever stop to think why Cinderella wore such an uncomfortable and non-durable shoe as a glass slipper? The story was originally an old French tale, but as it passed down. through the thousands of years, it was misinterpreted. The original story told of Cinderella's slipper as "vair" meaning soft leather, but as time passed the French word "vair" soon went out of use. When the Frenchman was translating the story he couldn't find " vair" in the dictionary so he thought it was written incorrectly. The nearest word to it was "verre" meaning glass. Now every America n child learns the story of Cinderella losing, not her soft leather slipper, but the beautiful glass slipper for the Prince Charming to find. "This proves how much can be misinterpreted," explained Gilbert Rogers to his Spanish 3 C ( ;J~S..

"It was thrilling," she quietly admitted, "but I doubt if anything will come of it." Before s he returned to Lincoln with her father, the scout asked Vera to have some recordings made of her voice and to send them to Hollywood at once. On being asked ·when she expected to carry out the final r equest she carelessly replied, "Oh, when I get around to it."

"Germany has its beauty too, such as the crops, flowers, forests and buildings." The old Senate Chamber was a sight to behold, He enjoyed going to a reception at the "Rat shaus." The building itself was beautiful with great paintings and miniature models of great ships hung from the ceiling. The cleanliness of Germany was very surprising to Mr. Fahrenbruch. "All possible material is used to fullest extent. There were t owns which were very backward like Lubeck, no running water, toilets were of buckets which were picked up every morning by the city garbage service. The homes, though old, were clean. One could, see rows of little red house.s with rough wood joists and timbers, rot ted window sashes, old arche1 in homes with little light."

"It is· much better t o enjoy and do the things we can have and do, than to lament and wish for things beyond our r each. Opportunities correspond in direct ratio with the ability t o a ccept a nd use them." Another important factor is t o have confidence in your own abilities and n ot be afraid to try t hem out. It is n o disgrace to fail. The disgrace comes when one fails to profit from the mistaki!s. Reiy on yourself, don't be just a carbon copy of some one else,.she advised. In closing Miss Tye reviewed the paints that go to mak e success and they included using one's own special talentst having confidence In one's own ability, being one's self, having faith in one's job, doing the very best possible, co-operating and being happy. Miss Tye believes that happiness .and satisfaction are the main purpose of life and that success after all is just p ersonal satisfaction.

Links Open Basketball Season Against Central' Team Is Made Up Of Seven Lettermen And Ex-Reserves Central Squad Hard Hit by Graduation, Only Three Lettermen Returning This Year Lincoln high's basketball team will get off to a flyin'g start when it meets Omaha Central next Friday in the first game of the 1939· '40 season. The game will be played at Omaha. If height and experience count, this year's squad can look for a good season as the team has seven returning lettermen and a number of the boys top the six foot mark. Team Good Against Reserves. In a scrimmage with the reserves last Saturday the squad showed strength on both defense and offense. However, the basket 11eemed to be too small for the ball on free throws. Floyd Wilkinson, the 6 ft. 4 in. center, showed remarkable improvement. Also contending for the center position is Robert True, who played on the reserves last year. Five men are possibilities for the forward spots, Henry Reichel, RCJbert Campbell, Robert Weyglnt, Lawrence Vaughan and Merlin James. James, up from last year's reserves, has been doing exceptionally well. Reichel and Weygint lettered at this post last year. "Willie" Jennings, who played forward last year, has switched to guard. Howard Debus, Ray .' Wilkinson, Harvey Lauer, "Step" J~nes, and "Bud" King are other contenders for guard posts. Debus, Lauer and King lettered last year. LeRoy Blazek will manage the squad this season. Central Plays Early Game. As .Central plays Omaha North tonight the team will meet competition before It plays the Red and Black. However, Lincoln is a more experienced team, as Central has only three returning lettermen.

Graduation Takes Heavy Toll in Ranks Of Championship Winning 'Dream' Team Led by ten graduating seniors, the Lincoln h igh school foot ball squad annexed its third stra ight state championship t his fall. The Links, in playing a top notch s chedule, ran rough shod over all opposition, stumbling only on t he Sioux City Central Maroons. The Links were ranked champions by both the Lincoln papers and the Omaha W orld-Herald sports staff. Ranked second by the Lincoln papers was Scottsbluff which received a 22-6 defeat at the hands of the Red and Black. Led by a powerhouse backfield which ran up about 200 points, and defended by a hard charging line which allowed the enemy only 24 points, the Links were easily the top team in the state. This year saw an exceptionally fine line performing nobly in every game. All seven of the forwar d wall are graduating and it will be difficult to repla ce them. This year the forward wall was composed of the f ollow in g boy s; me1 n..esz.ter, n u1u1ng u u w11 I.Ile
left end position, sco.red a Links touchdown this season to account for 6 points. Besides being on the receiving end of several passes, he has been an outstanding defensive player all year, according to Nebraska sports writers. Harvey "Hook" Lauer, playing his second year as regular left tackle, t urned out fine ball this year. Harvey broke up play after play and st rengthened the left side of the line considerably. Melvin Johnson, regular left guard, was one of the team's most valuable blockers. He was seldom
taken out on defense and w a s an excellent downfield blocker, leading many a scoring play. Mel recovered more than one fumble, being alw ays at the right place. Charley Gordon, as the pivot man, developed into a grade "A" center and was one of the best defens ive players on the team. From his position backing up the line he proved invaluable in stopping opposing backs t ime after time. Charley was one of the hardest w orking pla yers on the team and spent long hours working on snapbacks. Lester Buckley, who started e very game as right guard, made up what he lacked in size and weight by fire and det ermination. Su bmarining larger opponents time a fter time he was consist ently in the opposition backfield and few gains were made through h is p osition. Elmer ."Arkansas" K ehm, was easily the most improved player on the tea n-i as the aeas on wore on. VJlc:J.,L ,5 1U6 t;Ut:::lU.Y

of the finest in the school's h istory. These. four ba cks ·ran up a t otal of about 200 points and generally ripped up opposing lines. Big Howard Debus, fullback, was easily one of the finest athletes in the st ate this year. He amassed 73 points to lead the team In this division and was an all around triple threat. His punt ing and passing were s uperb while h is plunging left little to be desired. He was an extremely h ard r unner and blocker as well. On defense, too, he proved h is mettle, s topping opposing backs for short gains. William Jennings, the ace signal ca ller, proved himself a v aluable quart erback on many occasions. Modesty on the field was his on ly fault as he let the other backs take the ball over for many of the scores. His long suit was running the ends a t . which he excelled.

Cou11cil Treats Point System Reasons for Decisions To Be Forwarded To Faculty Possibility of rating on the point system important class commit· tees which continue from y ear to year was abandoned by the student council at the meeting Wednesday. The reasons for this decision will be forwarded to the student af~ fairs committee after i:he next meeting. The question about lowering· the present rating of the class officers with the exception of the treasurer, was discussed further. Two ideas have been offered, the first, that the points of the class officers and the club officers be compar· able. F or instance, at present the senior cla ss president receives four points, the vice president, three and the s ecretary and treasurer, two; while in the club, the presi· dent and vice president r eceive three and the other officers, two. This way the points for · the class president would be lowered one point, the others would remain the same. The other possible way of rating is three points for all · class officers. Investigation ls being made by the council members on how much time is spent by club and class officers in comparison. The council hopes to reach a decision on this point at the meeting today in order to send it to the student af. fairs committee for approval. It would then be in effect next semester. The council is still accepting ideas for keeping the school clean. Anyone who wishes to make suggestions along this line, leave ther:n in the council box in the office or give them to Don .Meyet'.
Choir and Octet To Sing on Air Choir and the girls octet will go on the air next Friday noon when they present their Christmas program before .the Kiwanis club's luncheon open meeting. The· program will be heard over ·KFOR. Plans are being made to have recordings made of the numbers given during the broadcast, and to have the transcription over KFOR on Christmas eve. The same numbers have be.e n given by .the choir for the Chris.t mas program held in the auditorium for vespers December 10.
Petition to Be Presented A portion CJf a nation-wide movement for the formation of student governed dramatic organizations in the nation's high schools; con~ ceived to give any pupffinterested a chance for self-expression, -is afoot in Lincoln high school and will be supported by a proposed petition to .be presented soon to H. C. Mardis, principal. The "Little Theater," as the organization would be known, pro· poses to present in the Lincoln hig h school auditorium, student produced and acted. plays, for the benefit of all students interested in s eeing such plays, with no ad· miss ion cha rge. Not just for those interest ed in the a cting of the pla ys, but also for those interested in producing and directing, tl:ie "Little Theater" would be open to any student who sought admission. Although a faculty adyiser would be selected, in the operation and direct ing of the play, the stud.ents would have complete charge. The leaders of the movement expect at least one hundred signers.

Alvin Lugn and George Werner took the best photographs in their respective divisions in the earner& club contest according to Terry Townsend, commercial artist, who judged the pictures at the camera club meeting Friday. Alvin Lugn's picture in the salon division had the best texhlre of any In the show, said the judge. It was a picture of the Plymouth Congregational . church. His comment was that the photograph is very satisfying, very good arrangement and clear tone; the only fault being that the sky was a little too light and the masking stopped just a little too abruptly. The picture he chose as second best was a character shot by Bob Jerner, with very good composition, good subject, but just a little too grey, probably just a few seconds under exposed. Third place he gave an action shot of a train by Bryce Alberty, a good composition, very strong and simple subject, but not quite enough dark sky. Werner Wins Miniatures. George Werner placed first in the miniature division with a shot of two candles ; very interesting, very good composition, good lighting and one of the best If not the best in the exhibition. Mr. Town· send chose as second best a picture by Jean Hazen taken of a pond; very good composition, very good picture but not quite enough contrast. He gave third place to Jean Hazen on a landscape view; good view, very good framing. Mr. Townsend stated that his choice is only one man's opinion and other judges may have a com· pletely different idea. His definition for a. good picture was: the nerson shoulrl let his eve wander lil; mi;et aii 'tli.e cha racters ·-a.n·d guests; after meeting them all, the eye should just naturally wander out. Popular Vote Differs. C. O. Morrison states that this exhibit was the largest and most successful than any Lincoln high exhibit he has ever seen.

Every year, the familiar cry is heard, "Everything is becoming commercialized, even our most sacred holidays. These holidays no longer have the same meaning, their original purpose is lost in the rush for profit by the business world." Huwe~.. there is one part of Christmas which has never changed through the ages. Beautiful music has been associated with the celebration of the birth of Christ, since, traditionally, the first Christmas carol was sung by the angels in heaven, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good ·will ·toward men." Singing of carols originated in England, where waits went from door to .door singing their :rp.erry songs. In Russia, . "Kolyado songs" were sung; in France, the "Noels," Germany, the "Kristhe· der" and Mexico, the "Posodas." The fifteenth century saw the beginning of carols. They were kept alive in little villages and towns all over Europe until the seventeenth century. Then, Puriantism with its strict repressions forbade public singing of carols. "However by this time they were so deeply entrenched in the hearts of the people that they
More and more, the singing of carols is being <lpserve.d in the Unit~ ~ta._tes. c)Ur m0st popular cai.Ols . are from oi.iJ.er i.:i.iid.s.· one of the most beautiful and simple of Christmas melodies, "Silent Night," was written for the little church of Arnsdorf near Salzbury, Austria, when the organ became unfit for. use a short time before Christmas. Father J osef Mohr, in· spired by the beauty and stillness of the night before Christmas eve, wrote the words. The music was written by Franz Guher. Christ· mas Eve . this song was sung in the little church of Arnsdorf and today all over the world this song has become as important part ot Christmas as the giving of gifts. Music is truly an international language. Most of our traditional hymns were written in the eight· eenth and nineteenth centuries. Many were written by men, inspired by the beauty and joy of Christmas. People hearing this wonderful music remember the true meaning of Christmas. These songs will .Jive forever.
:ommittee Outlines Plan of Action
Students Opinions of Courtesy Recorded In the Advocate Poll of Public Opinion
Following an explanatory speech by Ardis Lyman, describing the duties and obiigations of the newly formed addition to the courtesy committee, a lively discussion was conducted with many unique:.ideas propounded at a meeting December 12. The number of members will unc. doubtedly exceed 100. They will not be recognizable as they will carry n.o means of ·identification. Principal object of this new committee is to stop the "unintentiona l a cts of discourtesy"· of thoughtless st~ dents, by setting a good example and by reminding those guilty of a discourteous act, to use better judgment the next time. Some of the various acts .c onsidered· discourteous are running in the halls, dropping paper everywhere but in. the wastepaper baskets, going _up or down the wrong side of the stairs, etc. The committee's job is to lessen, if not entirely eliminate, these practices. Another meeting will be called Immediately after Christmas vacation. Mem bers of the committee are asked to keep tab of the number of offenses they either prevented or reminded the offenders of.

Previous to this year teachers have been exempt from federal in· come tax because they were employed by a governmental unit. The "public salary tax act" of 1939, approved by the President on April 12, 1939, now makes employees of both the federal govern· ment, the state government and subdivisions thereof subject to income tax; Single individuals who have a net income of $1,000 or more or a gross income of $5,000 or more and married individuals living with wife or husband whose joint net income equals $2,000 or more, or whose gross income is $5,000 or more are required to file tax returns.

Cooperation Very Fine Bicycle Testing Begins; Homer Sweet First Cyclist to Register "Although the Monday's regis· tration was fairly slow, the co• operation of Lincoln high . cyclists wa s very fine," stat ed Ed Beaty, in charge of bycycle registration here. Number of Tests Below Par. Approx imately forty-six bicycles were tested and only four were turned dl)wn, the main reason for r efusal being general poor mech• anism. The average number of m achines t ested a day is 130-140, but due to shortage of help and the small number of those present, this was cut down consider ably. The first student to register was Homer Sweet, sophomore, who received the number 2435. Mr. Beaty was assisted · in the testing by Dale Harris · and Le Verne Franson.
Band to Have Flashy ·New Uniforms Soon Yes, fellow students, the band will have new uniforms soon ff everyone buys a t icket for the mid-year concert to be given January 20.

The main thing now Is to sell out the house for the mid-year concert. "I have studied the possibilities of several different types of uniforms and I now have In mind one particularly flashy and snappy looking uniform," stated Mr. Nevin. Mr. Nevin went on to say, "I can tell by the reaction I get from my bands that new uniforms would be quite an in· ducement to the players as far as playing goes. In the future when a prep-band member is advanced to our advanced band he will feel rewarded In more than one way."

Toss of Ball and Cheers Of Crowd Open Season The ball is tossed; the crowd cheers, and another Lincoln high basketball season is on its way. P erhaps the team will consistently win games and come finaly to the state tournament, even to the championship; certainly the games will be well played-well won or well lost. Whether actually a member of the team or not, every student has a part in its success. The same enthusiasm and sportsmanship which has been shown throughout the football season is expected of every boy and girl. Bands playing and crowds cheering, it is an easy thing to leave a game victorious for the home team with high spirits. But if the team has gone down in defeat before a superior opponent, the same ovation shoould be shown for a game ·well played. ".All honor to him who shall win the prize "The world has cried for a thousand years, ''But to him who fails, and still fights on, ••1 give great honor and _glory and tears.'~
What's Good for Goose Is Good for Gander, Pupils A door opens and you step into th e most imporiant room in France-the office of the general of the Allies' armies,-Maurice Gustave Gamelin who,-according to an article in a. recent Harpers magazine,-"holds more power than any Frenchman since Napoleon,in whose hands are the destinies of France, England and all the stop Hitler bloc.'' This man who controls the strings which guide the lives of every soldier fighting for the .Alies' cause and every man, woman and child who is a citizen of one of these countries, cannot afford to be wrong. His every action must be the correct move. Gamelin therefore rarely accepts opinions of others, but does his own thinking on every subject, reads at every opportunity-in fact he spent much time reading and thinking every night up to the outbreak of the war. "You must read and read much," he demands of his staff and troop commanders, ' 'always with a p en or pencil in your hand. An officer should h ave the most varied kind of culture for our functions touch on all sorts of national activities.' ' If it is necessary for officers of a great army to be read in order to · equip them· selves for overcoming the onslaught of a ruthless dictator, surely reading will help the student to meet the simple battles which he encounters in every daye life, to understand the facts he learns in classes and more clearly and thoroughly to prepare his lessons. Lincoln high has one of the best school libraries in the state and with the many new books which are being added this y ear, t~e pupils have litile excuse for not reading at least a few good books every semester. With the coming of a two-week vacation ·every student will have an opportunity to learn what is so int riguing about hooks that a great general fighting a great battle expects each of his officers to read.
Europe Prepares for War; America, for Christ.mas While the inhabitants of England, France, Germany, Finland and many of the other European and Asiatic countries now at war with one another are preparing for battles and air attacks. the citizens of the United States are preparing themselves for the same cause-a battle wih Christmas shoppers and an air attack by good old Santa Claus. While fathers over there leave their homes-some never to r eturn and others' to come back with painful ·wounds and more painful memories, fathers h ere leave only to bring back lar ge mysterious bundles. While in E!!rope, children are sent to the country to be protected from the dangers of urban warfare, children in Am erica are sent to grandmother's farm to enjoy more thoroughly a jolly holiday season. With three distinct wars raging in the world, we here in the United States can celebrate ·with double enthusiasm the birth of a great Savior, the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, for we are indeed privileged to be free from the ravages and tragedies of those wars are causing. In a world in which peace no longer reigns and goodwill has been forgotten, we can onlv pray that next Christmas will bring . ";Peace ... on earth and good.will toward men. "
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1939
Hey, do youse guys and youse gals realize that there are but four more days till old Santa Claus comes oozing down t hat chimney of yours?! 1 You'd better be finishing up that shopping of yours. The whole thing has Oscar and I a little nuttier than usual. Oscar believes he has the toughest shopping problem on record! What do you get a little girl .whose dad owns a dime store ¥!1 Hi Betty! (That 's Oscar's and my girl.) Also a present for my brother has me plenty worried.....::last year I gave him the measles. Speaking· of last year-I gave Gloomy Glenn (that's Overcast Oscar's little nephew) a few handkerchiefs. Well, he was riding on the street car next day and he had a terrible cold. He sat there and sniffled and sniffled. Finally, a lady next to him said, "Heavens, my dear boy, don't you have a handkerchief?" To which Gloomy just replies, "Yes, but I don 't loan it to strangers!" Somebody told Overcast that Santa is going to use a dog team instead of his usual reindeer which had to come down froin his Arctic kingdom this year. To which Oscar merely mumbles. "That's a lot of 'mush.' " (And don't tell him nor any of the sophomores that there is no Santa Claus or it would break their hearts-sh, sh.) Getting closer to school we hear .from a reliable source that while students of Miss Wallace's English class were taking a test on active and passive voice, one girl gave as her answer, "active voice is when the subject receives the action and the passive voice is when the subject does the acting. Illustration, passive-" the cow kicked the girl." Illustration, active_.:." the girl kicked the cow." I still like poetry that has a beautiful thought to it as this bit doesThey r eached the end of the pathway thin; He held the gate and she walked in. She tried to thank him but didn't know howFor he was a farmer and she was a cow. Then too there is the type that has a moral to it. ExampleHow fat she are, she used to wasn't The reason is she daily doesn't. If she would exercise each day By from the table a-pushin' away She'd have a figure like you and I The boys then wouldn't pass her by. That type is all right but there is also the sort concerning two lovers that needs some attentionIt was in a restaurant they met, Romeo and Juliet; He had no cash to pay the debt, So Romeo 'd and Juliet. Says Don Tucker to his caddy last sum· mer-"Well, son, how do you like my game ~ " Caddy: "Oh, I suppose it's all right, but I like golf."

The other night at basketball practice Coach Beechner said, "Come over her, Lauer, and get in this scrimmage l'' "Gee, coach, I'm a little stiff from bowling." "\Vell, I don't care where you're from, get in and scrimmag·e." Here are bright sayins by Blue Benny (Oscar's boy back from Birmingham ) : The moon affects the untied more than it does the tide. A pessimist is one who puts limburger cheese on his upper lip and thinks the whole world is bad. · Alone in the moonlight is more fun if you aren't. Horse sense is a form of stable thinking; no stall. When a girl is sixteen she is good looking. When she is twenty-two she wrinkles. When she is thirty she has gray hair. At thirty-fiv e she turns into a blonde and starts all over again. By the looks of all these comic books now circulating around school, one would think we were back in junior high. Here are some conversations I've been hearing around the building. They are anonymous. ' 'Who's there~'' "Nobody." "vVho else~" "Does John talk to himself when he's alone ~ ''
"I don't know; I've never been with him when he was alone." "I wonder where all the summer bugs go in the winter." "Search me l" "Oscar, what do you think of this idea of swinging the classics~'' "Why, by all means, it's plenty oke by me if the cats want to dog the longhaired stuff, hack it off the cob, and send out with a solid piece of jive.'' ' ' Why, 'pon my soul! ! ! Et tu Oscare ! 1!'' Hundred and third girl: "What do you have this yeriod 7" Hundred and foo-th girl: "Hy-giene." P asserby: ' 'Hello.'' Here 's a section o:f Static that I '11 try to make p ermanent- if you want it. Fanatic Filosophy From Famous FoolsHalter H inchell: Always remember the dimmest lights have the greatest scandal power. Hi Ho (the sag·e of Chinatown) : Most girls beauty is only skin dope. Pierre Jones (famous French stylist) : The girls are not going to wear shorts any longer next year. Gregory Groan (Greek goody goody man): To the-·age of sixteen a lad is a boy scout, from then on he's a girl scout. Here's Another "In the Classes" Miss Roberts: Howard Schmidt, show me Armenia on the southeast coast of the Black Sea. (Howard points to northeast coast) : Here. Miss Roberts : Why, Howard, don't tell me yon don't know the direction on the map! Howard: I don't have my compass with me. That floored me and the editor has just floored me too. I'm taking his "23 Skidoo" hint seriously so ''good bye.'' Merry Xmas•.
Milan Lambert, Popular Pianist, To Leave City
By the time that the newspapers start printing the number of shopping days until Christma s, the minds of little children throu ghout the country a re f illed with visions of shining new toys under a sparkling Christmas tree. That
Milan Lamber t, popular pianist and org a nist of Lincoln, is t o leav e Lincoln soon after Christmas to pursue his career on t he Pacific Coast. This was disclosed in an int erview of Mr. Lambert re• cently. Born on a farm in Smith Center, Kansas, h e did the chores as any farm boy ha d to do. He began playing t he piano at the age of sev en. U nlike most child ren he had to be literally torn from his piano so he could milk the cows, or feed the hogs. "While I was in school I pr acticed fou r hours a
means the toy industry becomes a pretty gigantic one. "Dolls are still the most popular for girls," stated Jeanne Petersen in a report g iven to Miss Fern Housman's period 5 industrial geography class. Electric trains are the most popular for boys, and these are priced all the way up to $75. Abou t $10,000,000 are spent each year for trains and 20 percent ot this isn't for children, but for adults who make minia ture trains a hobby. A German dollmaker, Bernard Lipfer t, who came to America in 1912, designed the facial expression of many popular dolls, as the Shirley Temples, Dionne Quintup· let dolls and many others. "Nuremberg is famous for its tin soldiers," said, Berthadine Blada in a report to the period 5 class. Just after the World war, military toys were very unpopular, but they have gradually reg ained -their popularity. The present war seems to have had no effect. Ninet y percent of all the doll furniture m ade in the United States comes from Massachusetts. This year, most foreign countries are decreasing t heir Christmas festivities, but in previous years, Switzerland and Austria led the world in producing hand-made wood carvings which were really too expensive to be called toys. Japan was noted f or its tiny nlckn acks and France for its very beautiful dolls.

and Gauls _c elebrating the winter s olstice, or coming of winter. At these festivals, called in Rome the Saturnalia, when slaves ate at their master's t ables aid doors were left unlocked, and in Gaul the Jul, when huge bonfires were burnt in honor of Thor, there was much merry-making and feasting. Early Christian missionaries however, prohibited this gayety as being unsuited to the character of Christ. But the old festival was not discarded entirely. There were s till feasts and entertain· m ent declared to celebrate the birth of Christ. From the Roman Saturanlia we derive our custom of giving g ifts at Christmas a nd from the Gallic Jul, our modern Yule log. Santa Claus was introduced in the middle ages, supposedly f rom San Nicolaus, the Bishop of Myra, who gave money and gifts to the p oor. In Germany he became Kris Kringle from Christkindlein, or Christ child and in Siame he was known as Father Chris tmas. The Christmas tree has been ascribed to Martin Luther who used it to illustrate to his children the beauty of the winter. The Christmas card is l survival of the cheery custom ot shouting a merry Christmas from h ouse to house. early Christmas m orning. All t hese customs, however, have come to mean but one thing t o people through out the world, Merry Christmas!

OPEN FORUM T o the E ditor: I have a suggestion to. make which may seem trivial and unworthy of any recognition. But so long as Lincoln high students are "improvement-minded" at t h is time, I may as well get it off my chest. I think the girls gymnasium should have a new blackboard! E ver since I entered Lincoln high, gymnasium students have been stra ining t heir eyes t rying to s ee and understand the marks which were hardly vis ible. At p r esent there is a large open gap in the center of the board, and the rest is so cracked with age that it's pitiful. I think the girls would be willing to contribute a little toward it, and I'm sure the grades would improve. After :o.11, how can anyone remember the rules of a game if she never knows them?

Field Nurse Relates Experiences As 'Interesting and Romantic' "Interesting and romantic" w as the way Mrs. Bettie Cosandier, field nurse f or t he Nebraska Tubercu losis Association, described her work. Tuberculosis was considered by the ancient s as the greatest health hazard of m a n. It was first discovered in 440 B. q. by Hippocrates. The germ, however, was not found until 1882. When the medical world h eard of this wonder· ful discovery, they declared, "Now that we k now the cause we w ill rid the world of it within t en years." This has not been done, but much has been done to m a ke this s tatement true. Organizations for doing a way with the dread disease are found all over the world with 1,580 state and local organizations in the United States alone. These organizations sell Christmas stamps to pay for the care of patients of tuberculosis in sanatoriums. From these sales $5,000,000 is m ade annually in the United States, with L incoln contributing the sum of 5:4.000. T his vear the stamp~ are red, white and hlu8 v."ith a pic ture of an angel of mercy. The design was made by Rockwell Kent, who was paid $1,000 for it. The board in Nebraska, which is made up of 21 members, has g one into t his work voluntarily
Junior Journalists Risk 'News Fever' In Visit to Paper Newspaper m en it is said are born, not mr.de, but pupils of the four English 8 classes were exposed to one of the world's most communicable disease when they witnessed the composition of local newspapers last Tuesday and Wednesday. At 60 words a minute, the world's fastest a ging commodity, news, p oured through a teletype mach ines of the Associated Press, United P ress and Inter national News Service. The groups saw copy continu• ally being rushed across the semicircular universal desk where the final judges of what the paper prints were seated, t hen fired into a battery of linotype machines and into the h ands of eagle eyed proof readers. W ith lead at 650 degrees fahrenheit in the va t the most revolu· tionary invention in the product ion of the printed newspaper was being performed. Fifty-two pound cir cular lea d plates, each a pag e of t he finished paper were c.as t and lowered quickly into the base· ment of the plants, and int o their places on the rollers of the giant presses. None were thrilled m ore than t hose who saw the tremendous press, which t akes ink, and paper, and transmits it into a printed, cut and folded newspaper, start to roll lazily at first, but gain momentum rapidly.

E very fourth person between the age of 15 and 45 dies with tuberculosis the direct cause. She went on to say, "If the children of today a re educated the parents of tomorrow wlll be informed." It was found in a su rvey of H avelock h igh school that a pproximately one child in five was infect ed with t uberculosis. Also, out of 427 p eople tes ted, 87 s howed signs of the disease. She pointed out, "Only the person infect ed with tubercle bacille becomes ill with the disease. Contrary to com m on b elief, tuberculosis is not h eredi· tary. It cannot be passed fr0m child to child. It is, almost invariably, passed from an adult to the child." There are living in t he Unit ed States 500,000 known victims of tuberculosis, a nd last year the deaths attributed to this disease amounted to 64,000. Mrs. Cosa ndier put emphasis u pon the fact t hat the examinations, tests, and x-rays are paid for by the amount from t he sale of tuberculosis stamps a lone. She said, "We are not helped in any way by either the Red Cross or the Community Chest."
Officials Express Greetings to School To every m~mber of the great family of pu pils, teachers, clerks and custodians who make up Lincoln hig h, I wish the happiness. of a Christmas season which wi ll reflect that Christian and democratic atmosphere of peace and goodwill denied to so many less fortunate millions in many other parts of the earth. -H.

Studying Snakes Hobby of Student Studying the ways and lives of amak es is the hobby boasted by Kent Baker, Lincoln high student. Kent discussed his am azing hobby a t the regular m eet in g of the p et club Tuesday, December 12. Kent ha d a few of h is live snakes on exhibition at the meet ing a nd h andled them all for those present t o view. Two of the snakes were put into the fish acquar ium; the one swam freely about but the la rge snake objected and tried in vain to es cape. Most of the belief s of a iding snak e bites, such as, draw ing the venom f rom the wound wit h the mouth and the use of alcoh ol, according to Kent, are of no u se. A poisonous snak e can be detected from a non-poisonou s one, if you aren 't too s cared to look, by n oticing the pupil of the eye and the nostrils.

Fountain Pens Are Most Commonly Lost Article According to Ervin Landegren Lost something? If so, why not go to the lost and found department. Perhaps you will find it. So far this year a surprising number of articles have been turned in, but never claimed. It was determined in an interview with Ervin Landegren in charge of the book room that the most common of all lost articles are fountain pens, which already this year number 25. Second in popularity are gloves, 6 pairs and 14 odd ones. Keys seem to be among the popular los;ses also, for 12 key rings now lie unclaimed. Other losses include coin purses, handkerchiefs, compacts, combs, finger nail files, all types of jewelry, and even clothing. Many books also find their way to this department. More than 400
books are lost each year, 200 permanently, 200 being returned to their r ightful owners. Because English is the most popular subject, more English books are lost than any others. Up to this t ime 17 English books, 5 foreign language, 9 science, 4 mathematics and 3 history books have not been claimed. Many composition notebooks have also been turned in. When asked why he did not try to trace the owners of the books, since it could be done through the name and number in the back, he replied that time would not pas· sibly permit this, Aside from having charge of the lost and found depart ment, Mr Landegren also t a kes care of the checking in and out, all text books and supplies to instructors. All fees are collected and all receipts given through this department.
Caesar's Death, Clef Club Play
Puupils Bring Gifts For Less Fortunate
Calpurnia, Mob, More Mob, Still More Mob, Brutus, Sooth Sayer, Mark Antony and Street Cleaner; such were the names used by a group of Clef club· members, in an adaptation of Julius Caesar's most dramatic death, given at the December 13 meeting. Julius Caesar, portrayed by J anice Marx, was stabbed by Brutus, whereupon Caesar's wife, Calpurnia, displayed her grief by wearing a piece of red tissue paper, representirig h er broken h eart. All lines were sung to tunes ot well known songs. Among them was, "I'll Be Glad When You're Dead, You Rascal You."

Amate~r Radio Is
Pleasing Hohhy J ohn L eacock addressed the Radiol!nks on composition and uses of the army a mateur r adio network at a m eeting Monday, December 11. "I believe amateur radio is one of the finest a n d most interesting hobbies a boy m ay h ave, and in ' spare t ime it is a fine thought to know that you h ave your station right near you," Mr. Leaco".!k b ega n. In 1919 Mr. Leacock put his first s et together from old parts he had g athered and among thos e was a coil from an old Model T Ford. "In those days you didn't have to ha ve a license in order t o h ave an amateur station," Mr. Leacock In 1928 Mr. Lea cock e nter ed the amateur army system. W LM. in Washington , D.

Hotel l(itchen Observed Preparing of Turkeys For Large Banquet Seen hy H. E. Ch1h That turkeys are cooked and made into separa te servings the day before a large banquet was learned by the home economics club as t hey visited the Cornhusker hotel at their December 11 meet ing. About an hour or so before the dinner, the servings are p ut ·in a steam oven where they remain t ill they are ready to be served piping hot. Dish Washing in Modern Style. Special note was made of the different k inds of automatic washing machines, which· irt-::luded a separat e one w ith brushes for glasses. Di~hes washed in these m achines do not h ave to be dried. but slide off into wooden· trays waiting for them. After seeing the main kitchen the clul> proceeded to view the storage rooms where not only m eats and fruits but canned goods are stored. The hotel ha s its own laundry where everything but shirts are done. A piece of laundry is sent once a month to a firm to be checked to see if the right amount of bluing and so forth is being used. The hotel a lso has its own b akery a nd mak es its own ice but does not make its own ice cream because too many designs are needed. The concern making the ice cream uses the hotel's formulas. Must Pass Inspection. State inspectors check t he hotel once a month while all employees must pass a physical t est for clea nliness, a main factor in h otels of t oda y. A ccording to the manager, r unning a hotel is just the same a s running a home, only on a much larger scale. Many of the hot el's problems a re the same a s those found in the h ome.
Asse1nhlies llave N·avy Films For identical assemblies , Decemb er 13 and 14, g roups A and B saw several filrns about the Ui1ited States .navy that had been put out by the government. "An E gyptia n A dventu re" was the first film. It was a comical story of t wo American sailor s who g a ve t heir hard earned wages to a n E gyptian sheik who promised to find them a fortune in jewels and buried treasure. "On t he Far Eastern Station," was second, a story of our military ba se on the Philippine islands. The A merican game of baseball is g r adually running down t heir favorite sport, brought over from old Spain, of cockfighting. An effi. cient organization of P hilippine scouts adds to our m ilitary organization in t hat count ry. The third film was "Mak ing Craftsmen," h ow our government teaches recruits the making of weapons and ships, the base being class work and drafting . From their draf ting they dra w pla ns and s tar t the actual construction.

This is your brainy reporter worming his way once more through the daily doir~'s in our classes. Since we are well read ("Gone With t he Wind" and t he funnies being our favori.t es ) our pet retreat is the library. There we found Miss Emma Snyder's plant and an imal book exhibit. These are a gr eat boon t o those lads and lassies seeking extra ·credit readings in bioiogy a nd zoology. The boys and girls of Mrs. Kath- · erine Henninger's fifth period cooking class will be war y of door t o door magazine subscription salesmen after hearing Mrs. Viola E rickson of t he Better Bu sin ess Bureau .talk on "Consumer's E duca tion." Mrs. Erickson's b.u siness is to investigate false and misleading statements. Things are poppin' around the building, especially in Miss Gere's fourth period chemistry class. It seems Armand Hansen and Everett Eyden, in the process of making hydrogen, .removed part of t he necessary apparatus and t ouched a glass t ube filled with hydrogen to the flame. Results, besides the sound effects, w ere three broken glass tubes and one casualty (Armand Ha nsen's pocket was minus fifteen cent s.) "Anybody h ave the Ka iser's h at ?" We couldn't imagine who had ever seen it for we once rea d in a history book that the Ka iser's residence is in Holland. ·we were enlightened with the fact that the Kaiser 's hat was a novelty inkw ell and one of the many war r elics shown in Mrs. R uth Dodge's
American history 2 classes. Dans la class F rancais (Miss Annette Spr ung 's F rench 5 class to the souls who can't understand the tongue of P aris) we were amazed by the fast flowing "ees" and "ous" pouring forth from the front of the class. The potential F renchmen were learning how to ask f or coffee, dismiss . waitresses a nd meet !1t!W lady f riends (men are included ) in short conversational s cenes. Singing is always a sweet diversion and is getting more than its share of popularity. Among the unusual places to hear music is Miss Nelie P utneys' American literature class. Th e pupils try out old American folk songs. We know of finger p1·inting to k eep tab on criminals, but were d oubtful in finding foot print s tracking up note book papers in Miss E la ine Smith's physiology 1 classes. The main object was t o see if the pupils' shoes w ere being fitted correctly. The latest war in Europe is bothering m ore people than Hitler. The war has complicated matt ers for American History 2 students who are finding it ba d enough to study the last W orld wa r. Miss Jenkins' classes a re taking up t he latest E uropean controversy in relation with the last one on the subjects of neu t rality, peace pact and em ba rgo.

COACHES CORNER The Lincoln high school basket· bali squad got off to a good start by defeating Omah a Central at Omaha last Friday, December 15; The t eam has a f ine spirit and if w e can improve steadily, we should have a fairly good season. The Lincoln squad will be a little taller than usual and, I believe, they will have one 'o f the hardest playing teams we h ave had h ere in many a day. Here's h oping that our ·team may be able to find the basket and play great basketball. P lan now to att end all .o f t he home g anies, R. W. B EECHNER.
Would you like to develop a 'per· sonality? Dr. Link, in a clipping posted on the bulletin board in the g irls gymnasium, tells how t o do it. H e says, "All kinds of group activities in which people work or play t ogether are good for: the developm ent of the personality. In the excitement of ·the game, in concentrat ing on the play and. rules, they will forget themselves; And when a person forgets him· self h e is likely to taik naturally and to the point." So girls , de· velop your persona lity by coming out and participating in some sport. On the bulletin boa rd In the girls gymna sium- dressing room is ~

Elections May Be Combined Suggest T:hat Seniors Be Allowed to Vote For Council Members Possibility of combinlng the class and student council elections as recommended by the faculty committee on student affairs, was discussed by the student council at the meeting Wednesday. By combining the two elections, it will be necessary to have only one . major election. The proposed plan is that the candidates for clas• offices will be on one ballot and the council candidates will be on another. This applies only to spring elections, at which time voting is like city elections, with precincts, voting booths and secret ballot. Voting at mid-year w ill take place in class rooms. The Student Affairs committee also suggested that Article 6, Section 2, of the student co-operative government constitution, which ba rs the seniors from voting for student council members, be stricken out, to make elections comparable to actual elections in adult life. Clmng-e in the point s ystem has bi~c!l a~pp1· oved.

Board of Education A pproves Recent Plan For Distributive Curriculum To the eleven courses of study now being offered in Lincoln high, a new one, a distributive course is to be added, according to a plan recently approved by the board of education. This will provide training for retail selling in stores of all types. The subjects taken in the sopho• more year will be similar to those in other courses, but in the junior and senior year the pupils will attend only the first three periods of school and the remainder of the day will be spent gaining firsthand experience in an actual selling position. The students will be placed by the instructor in Lincoln firms which have offered.positions for this purpose, and they will receive pay for· their work. A n ew ~nstructor with special trainhig antl experience in t his line is being engaged. Similar to Present Course. Although at the present time, a diversified course under Glen Dorsey's instruction is offered, somewhat similar to the new distributive course, the former does not deal specifically with retail selling as the new course does. The diversified course will continue, but those who are n ow enrolled in it and who are receiving instruction in store salesman• sP,ip will be transferred to the new curriculum. If possible, t he course will be instituted next semester, and those eligible will be incoming s ophomores or present 10-Bs. Curriculum Set Up.

G. A. A. Spends Profit On Durable Improvements Since few clubs in J,incoln high schopl have activities that are sources of income, such an organization, one in which the memb ers use their own energy to make money for their club, is worthy of attention, especiall y when much of the money is used fo r t hings t hat will be of lasting· value to the school. For many years the girls athletic association has spent time and unlimited hard work in selling candy, pop and popcorn ~t foo tball 11.nd basketball games. Since only a two-cent profit is made on .ach article sold, it takes boundless energy on the part of t he G. A. A. girls to accumulate. •nough to buy anything that is at all expensive. For instance, to purchase the camera used in the girls' posture class, 1,200 bags of .pop oorn had t o be sold. That 's a lot of pop corn. Archery, Paddle t ennis, and other sports 1tports equipment whi~h will be of use t o the achool for years, have been made available through the G. .A. A. Lunches and the purchase of glasses ior n eedy girls have . been financed. The G. A. A. is indeed worthy of commendation for these contributions to Lincoln high aehool, of which few p eople are aware.

Lincoln high faculty and pupils visited many different spots in the United States during the Christmas holidays. Miss Olivia Pound spent the Christmas holiday in New Orleans, Louisiana. She saw the plantation· home, one of the few old southern homes in existence, near New Orleans, of Henry Clay, who is famous for his much repeated phrase, "I would rather be right than be president." New Year's E ve Canal street, which used to be a canal and is now surfaced over, was a place of much celebration. Miss Doris Steeves traveled to Indianapolis and to Chicago where she saw Constance Bennet~ in a legitimate play. Miss Elsie English also went to Chicago where she saw the Ballet Russe. She also visited Benton Harbor; Michigan. Arvid N. Johnson drove to Chip• pewa ·Falls, . Wisconsin, wher e he fished through the ice, two times, and according to Mr. Johnson, caught 32 fish ·the first time and 30 t he second. He had to stir the hole in the ice to keep it from freezing.

To the Edltol': Because . it is a recognized fact that the appeara nce and conduct of the young girl applying for a job greatly influence the employer's decision, many high schools are organizing charm clubs. The purpose of such a club is to develop those desirable qualities ·such as personality, charm, grace, poise, manners, good t aste in choosing a wardrobe, the knack of using make-up· most effectively and so forth. Beauty technicians and lecturers are asked to club meetings so .that they might h elp the g irls with per sonal problems. Although Lincoln high has an abundance of clu bs, I am sure the organization of a charm circle would be heartily w elcomed by the maiden population . Winifred Nelson.
Fire Drills Should Empty Building 1n Short Time " It can be done," said Otto W. Hackman when ask ed if the school can be cleared in less tha n three minutes. A state law requires that this, and' all other such buildings, have a fire. drill at least once a month. Occasionally a fire marshall rings the alarm_ without the knowledge_ of anyone and all of t he drills are timed. P upils have been asked to w alk out of the building at a brisk pace and to keep . moving when out of the building so that those behind t.h em w ill ·not be slowed up and in case of a n emergency t hese · last persons out can leave the building eafely~

Of a Poulterer From working for an oil company to selling poultry compounds is quite a wide jump, but such w as t he case of Howard Robinson, a former student in Lincoln high school and a graduate of Shelbyville high in Tennessee. .One has to watch his "P's and Q's" even in the poultry business according to Robinson, who r ecently visited Lincoln. He confirms his statement by the following incident. "One day I had been doing quite well. Everyone seemed t o have sick hens. Maybe it was a n epidemic or something, but anyway , I finally got to one place where all the chickens were healthy. The woman who came to the door said, 'Why no, we don't have any sick hens, but we do have a hog who's not feeling up to par. Would you have anything for him ?' " Robinson thought quickly. Surely if a tablespoon would cure a hen, a whole box would cure a hog. So, feeling proud of his good r ea soning, he completed the sale, directing the customer ac· cordingly. Upon informing his employer of his good salesmanship, Robinson's satisfaction decreased very rapidly. It seems that, although t he poultr y compound is excellent when prescribed for · chickens, a very small quantity will kill a hog. H e n ever learned of the fate of the hog; but tried to believe t hat "no news is good news." Robinson has but r ecent ly started into a business of his own, now being the manager of the "Just-Rite Poultry Supply Co." with a staff of five employees. Per haps it is t r ue tha t experience is the best teach er. Robinson was in Lincoln as the guest of J ohn S. Welch, also a former Lincoln high !tudent.

Looking back over the years, Mr. Diet ze find~ it hard to believe that the music in the Lincoln schools has grown from that small group who gave the best they had to make a success of the band. "I am told that t he coming concert is to raise money to buy uniforms. I think that each student in L . H. S. should make it his duty to get back of t h is and t alk it up at home. Let all of us do our part to fill the auditorium," he declared. Where are t he boys in the first band t oday? August Dietze, baritone, heads a .1ocal music .store and Faye Garrison, bass, now residing in Salina, Kansas, has since done considerable concert work as a pianist. Whereabouts of other players is 'unknown. Mr. Dietze wishes there could be a reunion and "the boys" be the first t o see the band of 1939-40 in their new uniforms. " F or all the lads of 1910-I wa nt to extend the best wish es to all the lads of 1939-40 and again, let's get back of this concert a nd get these new uniforms," are his closing words.

At Assembly A, B Groups See Educaiional Films on Driving A and B assembly groups were treated to three reels of film January 9 and 10. First. reel, "Testing' the Drink· ing Driver," was a film proving how accurately the police could now check up on drunken drivers. The old way was not positiv e and could not be· proved. The . new way, instead. of having the driver walk a straight line and testing his breath, is taking chemical te.sts on a, breath, b. urine, c. Tests Are Scientific.
· These chemical tests help exonerate the innocent and convict the guilty. The second picture was a colored. film taken of the police laboratories in Lincoln. Although a man claimed he was sober the tests proved that he had been drink_ing. Safe Cycling Illustrated.
The third film, "On Two Wheels," stressed the importance of being careful while riding a bi~ cycle. The rules it stressed were: 1. Ride alone. 2. Use no other power other than your own. 3.

"I will not," Prof. Gregg s tated, "tell you whether you should or should not smoke. I will merely show you the facts and let you draw y<rur own conclusions." Mr. Gregg compared the to bacco industry, a n industry which the people of the U nited States support by buying $9,000,000 worth of cigars · and cigaret tes daily, to the annual production of wheat !lnd corn in the United States, which combined would not p ay for the a mount of tobacco used daily by Americans. Mr. Gregg cited the cas.e of a prominent western N e b r a s k a farmer w ho built a large lake stocked with fish with the money he had saved f rom abstaining from the use of tobacco, as an example of the expense of smoking.

At half-time Lincoln led by a 13 to 9 count, but going into the final quarter, Hastings had pulled up on the Links and were only one point behind, 16 to 17. A basket by Hartman put Hastings into the lead, but Willie Jennings came right back with two buckets. Three points made by l:<~ul!er of Hastings, brought the count to a 21 all deadlock. With less than a minute to go Hastings was hold· ing a margin of 25-24. In a last desperate chance, Weygint and Ray Wilkinson made three points, but this effort was one point short. Again Floyd Wilkinson was the only offensive threat Lincoln could offer, leading both teams with a total of 11 points.

Sports Chatter Harry Kuklin, coach of Lincoln high's swimming team, swimming class, northfield football, arid instructor of the combination of sports-gymnasium classes, has been elected the second vice president of the Nebraska state physical education association. He will be in charge of the membership, of which he is chairman. Weight lifting, the modern form of a sport as quaint as that of the Greeks and the Romans, is gaining a brawny following among Lincoln high's male population. Followers of the sport assert that the modern version demands not brute strength, but combines poise, balance and power with science. Several weight-lifting clubs have been organized besides the .Lincoln Y. M. C. A., which pioneered the sport in Lincoln. Fred Metheny, former Lincoln high quarterback, now a member of the University of Nebraska freshman football squad,· is· an ardent weight"lifter, finding it an excellent conditioner !for football.

New Football Rules Make Slight Changes Commenting on the four changes in national interscholastic football i·ules, Coach Ralph Beechner said that they would make little difference in the game next fall. "Spectators will not notice very much change except an 'opening up' of the game by the rule that the touching of a forward pass by a second eligible receiver will not result in a dead ball," remarked Coach Beechner. Heretofore if a forward pass was touched by a receiver it could not be advanced. by a member of the same team. This rule will result in more passes was Coach Beechner's opinion. Briefly the other rules are: That on an illegal shift the referee will call the ball dead as soon as he observes the infraction; on any down but fourth, the penalty, for a pass grounded in the end zone or touched there by an in· eligible player or for interference there, will be from spot where play began; and lastly that a penalty for a foul which occurs dur· ing a rushing play will be from either where the foul happened or where the ball is dead depending on the choice of the offended team.

Plain Clothesmen Not :Reality ., "Old Dame Rumor" is again busy as we hear, quite confidentially, there are plain clothes men at Lincoln high. Thrilling, of course, but not quite true, accord· ing to H. C. Mardis, principal. "Dut to co-operation with the Works Progress Administration, Lincoln high school has been able to get some service that, otherwise, it would be J,mable to get,'' said Mr. Mardis. "There are three people on duty ii1 the corridors, assist in keepb.g them in good order. They are to return lost artides to the owner!' There is .one library assistant to help clip newspaper and magazine articles, that can be, used by students in reference work, and do other types of library help. "We are hoping to obtain one additional person soon, who will be able to assist in the dressing rooms in the oval and in the sorting and checking of athletic and physical education equipment," re• marked Mr. Mardis.

Concert Given Approval of Music. .Lovers Two Offerings Rate Encores; Annual Mid· Year Concert Profits As Yet Undetermined As part of a drive that is to net them enough money toward buying new band uniforms, ·the Orpheons climaxed a week of intensive salesmanship on the part of all of its members by presenting the midyear concert last Saturday ev~ ning, January 20, in the high school . auditorium. The program was well received by the audience. The duetists, Ruth Ferguson and Bob Smith, and the choir presented encores. Ruth and Bob sang "Moon, Love" while the choir rendered "Lullaby on Christmas Eve," the being taken by Ruth Ferguson. Willard Robb, flute soloist, gave an excellent performance, playing "Concertina for Flute" Op. The se· lections offered by . the girls octet were much enjoyed also. In the finale, all groups appeared on the stage together, making an impressive appearance. Roy Johnson took the solo in "When a Foeman Bares His Steel,'' and was ably supported by the choir, girls glee, boys glee, girls octet, and the orchestra. The band-day sketch, which was offered Monday, January 15, was written by Patty Peterson . and Connie McCauley. The school also held a feather-day last week, Wednesday, when red feathers with black "I's" on them were sold for a minimum price of five cents. The sale of these feathers continued thr u the week and were sold at the basketball. game last Friday n ight. The profit from this. sale has not yet been determined, but will probably evceed seventy-five dolars.

Chemistry Club Hears Professor The first meeting the chemistry club had the honor of having Prof. F. E. Frankforter of the Univer· sity of Nebraska, speak on the science of metallurgy, which is the study and science of extracting the pure metal from the ore. Professor .Frankforter also explained the use of the X-ray in the precision building of vats and the hugh smelting furnaces used in this·. field. He told how alloys were discovered and how the present day chemist makes use of them. If the pure metal alone is not strong enough or does not live up to every specific specifications, they combine some pure metals and get the metal they want.. The meeting was held in room 320 where cocoa and sandwiches were served.
4nalysis Shows How Student Fund ls Expended; Also Sourc~ of Money How the student fund is expended · and the source of the money is shown in an analysis or the. last five years made by H. C. Mardis, principal. Joy Night with a .four year aver· age income of $534.00 contributes the largest amount. The next most important income is the senior class contributions, which was well over the $150.00 mark. The program since 1930 has been the completing of the oval debt, $2,000.00 for auditorium and stage curtains, which are paid for, other curtains costing $326.00 also paid for. Trophy cases recently built cost $552.99, this money also . came from the student fund. Lincoln high is now saving for a public address system, complete for the whole school, which is stan.d ard equipment in all new schools. This improvement, it is estimated, will cost about $3,500.00. A preliminary survey of the bullding . has been completed by radio engineers .and estimates :are j)Eing made with the hop-a that this project may be carried o;;t >n the near future . Nurmai titfHmciitwrea, For governmental use, such as the purchasing of emblems, $18.00 was the average spent. Just $10.00 "'all the total spent by salety,
cleanup and open house committees. Home room· banners etc., consumed' $9,00. Almost every year newcomers to Lincoln high school are given a party, at the end of which ice cream and cookies are usually served; $8.00 was the average for such a party. Another necessary expenditure of $35.00 was for the Christmas and other assembly programs. Eight dollars was paid out for visual equipoient, slides, screen etc., this does not include the equipment got for the music classes. To help beautify the schools' halls $20.00 was spent on new pictures to hand in the corridor. Engraving and framing done amounted to ·$5.00 and activity printing totaled $8.00. F:'ive dollars was expended on a public address system. The student fund spent $10.00 for identification pictures of students wnich are. piaced in a permanetli. file by ihe . school :and ~15.00 "Was spent on ci:;-"Tilpics. For tra-;eiing, etc., the debate teams needed $7i'dr0 a year , the natwnai honor society :;;pent $4.QO, aiso $15.00 was spent for a scho· larship medal. Miscellaneous, such as a. ticket booth and a ha ll thermometer which is used alter•
natively for showing home room competition when the sale of acttvity tickets is in progress and to show the number of tardiness in rooms during the semester, totaled $25.00. · All the above, listed on the analysis as Normal Expenditures, average $273.00 annually The five year total of money spent on the bandfrom this fund is $473.00, for state and district music contests, the three yea.r total was $592.00. To complete payment on the oval wall fund $221.00 was expended. A 16 mm. movie projector was purchased for $193.00 and for the stage $151.00 was spent, which is ear marked as 15 percent of all net stage income arid not included in the item of general income. The student· fund is used as a rotating fund for the stage fund as noted above, for play tickets, arm bands and replacement of other items, and for several hun· dred doliars each year in advances to organizations and in handling express C. 0 .

Registratign Proceeds Home Economics 3, Art Appreciation Overloaded Beca:µ13e most Lincoln high student s seem to know definitely what courses they desire to take next ·s emester, Miss Olivia Pound, Miss Dorothy Beever, Miss Edna B. Williams, Mrs. Jeannette Kyk er, an extra h elper, and others connected with registration for classes are now having a "breathing spell." "Registration is going unusually well," Miss Pound, girls' ad· v iser, declared. "However, we are having a little difficulty in finding room in several classes for some students, especially second semester senior s who desire to take typing · 1." Miss P ound revealed that r egistration for classes in .art appreciation and · home economics 3, a course in sewing, is also too large and will have to be cut down. Advising students who wish cha nges to wait until a few days after the start of next semester, Miss Edna B . Williams, registrar, warned, " Shifting courses is very complicated, and a lot of work, so rE>q11est changes only if it is absolutely necessai·y."

Parts of this letter are reproduced in the following: "To the staff of the Advocate : congratulations on your very interesting paper! I received a .copy of the Advocate thru the courtesy of my correspondent, Marcellie Prosse.r, who is a student in your school. My friends and I think that your school newspaper is one of the best we have ever read. We wish to thank the staff, faculty, and students of Lincoln high school, for editing such a splendid paper. After reading column after column, we felt as tho we were in Nebraska attending your school. The credit extends to the description of what was done and is being done In your school. •Aloha Nui Loa" Signed: BETTY SHIMIZU, Student Body Secretary.
Miss Jury Links 1940 To Uprising in 63 B. C. "Strange as it seems, affairs of 63 B. C. parallel closely those of today," pointed out Miss Jesse B. .Jury to her Latin 5, period 4 class. The class, studying the orations of Cicero against Catilene, noted the similarity between the Catilar ian conspiracy· of 63 B. C. .and the "Christian Front" conspiracy of 1940. Both conspira cies planned to kill important men and destroy gov-ernment strongholds and both conspiracies had the same end in view: to take over the government.

If one wants to be remembered after he is gone, why should. ll. 't he be rememhered :for the good he has done and not the bad 1 Engravers who engrave their initials on the Jrl.arble railings do not think of the results that might eome from a single impression ma.de upon a block of marble. Marble is like a. block of ice, when several small dents are put in, it easily cracks. 'l'his is just the way the :marble bannisters will crack; when too many a:utographers sign their ''John Hancock'' to the •'document of destruction o:f pub lie property." Do those who take the opportunity of de!!troying, foresee what their own school will . }()gk 1_1,lte in a few years'? Their schoo.l wi 11 ·have it eobweb of cracks running f1.·orn edge t•f •dge, floor to ceiling and door to door, as il' Nebraska had experienced its first earthquake. .A pupil does not take into consideration that he may he1p those to come to I,incoln high a.ppreeiate the fact that foncoln high is the only school in the city to have marble side walls and bannister1 as well as marble floors and stairs. foncoln high has doubled its value since its completion in 1915, according to an esti· 1hate made for insurance purposes, therefor the atudents of Lincoln should try to keep their" building from deteriorating by destructive 111.eana.
Unity of American People ls Greatest Safeguard When the President of the United States opened the last session of the seventy-sixth eongress with his message on the state of the 11nion, he declared one of the fundamentals of democracy to the national unity. He said, "We cannot afford to face the future as a dis1mited people.'' 'l'oday, as we watch Europe plunge itself lower into the misery and destruction which war never fails to thrust on its unfortunate victims, we are again thankful for the great oceans which surround us and the entire country prays that by some miracle \Ye may escape being forced into that whirlpool of disaste.r. Surely the one kind of government which could best safeguard us, best save us from this 'might makes right' idea which seems to dominate today's world, the greatest protection, internal or external, which can possibly be afforded us, is democracy. The executive of the greatest democracy on earth says his country cannot afford to face the future as a disunited people. If there eould be one single thing which could best guarantee our democraey, our neutrality, out" gurvival in a world gone mad, it would be one united people in this great United States. H there is any way to survive the pit.falls of dictatorship and the resulting slavery to a power('.razed mind, it will be through a united American people. It is this lack of unity which ~as been the base of all Europe's wars. It was a complete lack of unity which caused us as a .colony to break away from England in 1776 and again a disunited people fought each other in our. great Civil war. Our high school students of today have the benefit of this experience and the advantage of being native .Americans free from the petty prejudices of their fathers. Let Europe have her hatreds; she has known nothing else. But .America was settled for the purpose of liberty and peace. Our people live here, not from force, but from choice. That is why our people have a common bond. It is the job of today's youth to realize this vision. ·We are not French or Germans, northerners or southerners, but Americans all, and for that reason America should live and prosper after Europe has driven herself into oblivion through .ler discgrds and hatreds.
To the Editor: It seems to me as if there aren't very many students at Lincoln high who know quite a few of their fellow classmates, since this is such a large school. To remedy the situation why not have one day in each semester, preferably at the beginning, called "Get Acquainted Day?" I am sure that· many students would like to have the chance to walk by one of their ideals in the hall and greet them with a cheery "Hello" without being embarrassed. Also the newer students would have a chance to become better acquainted, not only with the school, ·but with the students as well. This would make them feel .more at home and you wouldn't always hear, "This school is too big, you don't get to know anyone." There is also a tendency for students to go in just one certain group, not allowing anyone else to join their fun. Maybe this wouldn't be so prevalent if students had a chance to get acquainted with more people. They would associate with a greater number and thus have more friends and interests. Won't other students write and tell how they feel about this situation? ELSIE LORENZ. To the Editor: Why is attendance at assemblh.:.O,

Lyle A. Welch Will Direct the Newly Organized Public Scho<il Band for Boys Great improv~ment in the future high school bands will be a direct result from encouragement of young boys in instrumental music by a Lincoln public schools boys band which has been organized under the direction of Lyle A. Weleh. This band is for any publie school boy, from kindergarten through the ninth grade, that owns an instrument and has the desi.r e to play. The boys are divided into two bands. The "A" division is made up of boys who have had some instrumental instruction and play quite well. The "B'' band is fo,r boys who have had very little in· struction and those just beginning.

compulsory in Lincoln high school? I suppose the question has been discussed before, but I can't find a logical reason· for the present system. Every time we have an assem· bly, there are four groups of pupils in the school; those in the au di· torium who are interested in the program, those who are not; and those in their home . rooms who would be interested in the program in tile auditorium, and those who would not. Last semester a plan was tried, having pep assemblies attended by activity ticket holders only. I didn't attend these, but I heard that there was a relatively small group, but that the spirit was very strong. As it i!l now the group is only partly interes~ed, and the ~heers are very weak. The Peppers are doing a good job to create interest in football assemblies, but there are still many who would do a better job of promoting "school spirit" by remaining in their home rooms. As for the other assemblies, wouldn't it be more courteous to the speaker to have one attentive group, rather than two less inter· ested groups. Some students wl10 have less desirable seats may be trying to hear what the speaker is saying, but can't because of the whispering and shuffling of books which the home room teacher does not .see. The problem in the old saying, "You ·can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink" is easily solved by letting the horses go to water if they want to go of their own accord. The present corollary to this would be, "You can send a pupil to assemblies, but you can't make him listen." A recent Advocate interview revealed that Central high in Omaha uses this system, so technical difficulties in supervision and administration shouldn't be so great that it can't be done here.

Stuart Goldhergh Wins First Prize in Contest Stuart Goldberg, sophomore, won first prize and $15 with his essay, "Lincoln-1872 to 1939, Its Growth and Development," in the recent "Seventy·two Years of Progress" essay contest sponsored by the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce. Stuart's essay was termed as best portraying the story of the uninterrupted progress in this city. Virginia. Lewis of Teachers high school won second place and $10, with her essay, "Seventy-two Years of Progress in Lincoln." To Jim Shrepel of Everett · junior high school went third place and $5.
To join the "B" band the boya don't have to be able to play at ali, just own an instrument. Since the organization of the. boys band, .. musical representation in the ·schools has been increased 100 percent. The boys do quite a. lot of public entertaining. They have played for every luncheon club in the city, every hotel, t h e A . A. U. meet, teachers convention, park concert, 'the Chamber. of Commerce and a school radio broadcast. The band wiU not parade until it is outfitted with uni· forms. Practice is held twice a. week; on Wednesday and Saturdays. During the summer Mr. Welch gives the boys lessons, free of charges, in homogeneous groups that is im1tnict ion by :sections.

Anyone with a droir of salt in his blood, whether he is sixteen ()r sixty, will find "Seven Seas on a Shoe-string" an excellent book. Another book written by Irving Crump is "Our Firemen," telling of the work 'of the engine companies, the fire boats, the rescue companies, the salvage corps, high pressure, and the complicated fire alarm system of the modern city fire department. Men battling against the sea in moments of disaster is the theme of Karl Baarslag's new book, "Coast Guard to the Rescue." ;He writes his book, keeping in mind the slogan of these daring men of the Coast Guard, "You have to go out, but you don't have to come back." The United States Coast Guard is the far flung line of man's itncient battle with t he sea. Its stations stand along a coastline of very great length. Its cutters patrol the seas. In the air, great Coast Guard patrol and ambulance planes are flying daily on errands of law enforcement or of mercy. These books are, indeed, a fit· ting tribute to the courage and efficiency of Uncle Sam's public protection departments.

Because 85 per cent of all mental impressions are received through the eyes, and because eyes, once gone, can never be re· placed, adequate lighting in the schools is one of the most important of modern problems. This statement is the basic point around which Oscar P. Cleaver's article, "Light Saves Sight" is built. Many schools throughout the country have poor lighting facilities, blaming their neglect upon financial inability. But such economy, according to Mr. Cleaver is just a repetition of the old ''penny"wise-pound-foolish" theory and the eyes of students as well as teachers are suffering for it. Some schools have recently installed the photocelectric cell equipment. By this modern method, the moment the daylight fails to illuminate the room properly, an "electric eye" automatically turns on the lights. Other )ess expensive methods have also been adopted, and tests show that with proper lighting, pupils learn more readily and respond more accurately.

a.memlrnent as accepted states that the fifty members of the club are to be composed of not less than twenty boys and. not less than twenty girls and that the remain• ing ten are to be chosen by im· partial try-outs. The program which followed t he elections consisted of a school room scene. The act ended with the teacher giving each of the graduating Mimes members a Dippy-Ploma. Those in the sketch were Joyce Crosbie, Shir ley Davison, Marie Turner and Hazel Prichie. Graduating from the club are Mary Ann Greenwood, Jean Rotten, Mary Lou Holtz, Janice Marx, Alice Wenzlaff, Dorothy Lemon, Betty Lou Kemp, Mary Ann Hedstrom and Jack Blankenship.
Former Student Stresses Need Of Education

Value of a high school educa· tfon is stressed by a f-ormer Lincoln high student in a letter to O. W. Hackman, assistant principal, "I have applied for a position with a very large company. In applying .for this position, my life history has to be revealed. Also, in order to get this position, a. high school graduation is necessary." "I have been married three years and have done fairly well working in dry cleaning establish· ments, but want something better. If my application passes the rigid test, I will start to work for this company March 1. If I do, I ex• pect to stay in their 1ervice in· definitely. "By the way, Mr. Hackman, if any of your young students think a high school education is not necessary, show them this letter fo.r an example."

Lawrence Tibbett Refused Members hip In Los Angeles High School Glee Club Lawrence Tibbett, who wlll appear before a Lincoln audience at St. Paul churcll, January 29, wasn't good eno~gh to make the glee club at Polytechnic high school in Los Angeles. This was stated by Herrald deGross, vocal teacher and former opera singer, now of Lincoln. Mr. Tibbett is a member of the Metropolitan Opera company and a great national favorite. '""ikr. deGross studied voice in America. At an early age he sang in a choir as a sopI'ano. Havin g graduated from the University of Iowa with a law degree, he was employed by the Savage English Grand Opera as a claim agent. On hearing him sing, the producer immediately fired him · as claim agent and hired , him as a singer. He was understudy to the leading baritone. Later he went to Europe to study. On his return he sang with the Boston Opera and. the Royal Opera at Montreal'. He then went to Los Angeles where he met Basil Ruysdael and William Tyroler, with whom he began to teach.. It was then that he first came in to contact with Lawrence Tibbett. Mr. deGross .said that Tibbett was more interested in dramatics than voice. He studied with the Ruysdael studios for two years. Not only had he a marvelous voice but he was a good student. He worked ha.rd and a.s a result became the great success he is today: At one time Tibbett took part in Shakespearean plays pr6duced. by Tyrone Power, father of the present m·ovie star. He sang very little then. "Lawrence Tibbett is probably the greatest singer this generation will ever hear," Mr. deGross said. "H1i ha.1 a wonderful personality

but was not. properly typed in moving pictures," Mr deGross added. He said that Tibbett should h·ave been typed in more romantic roles. His dramatic abilities and poise are important factors in his singing career. They have helped him to live the many and different roles he portrays. "His delineation of the various parts that he has to portray covers the gamut of human emotions," Mr. deGross continued. Tibbett always had the desire to return to the teacher who pre·vented him from entering the glee club and tell her that he wasn't good enough for her glee club, but he was good enough for grand opel'a. He did accomplish this, but it was all in fun.

Ancient Roman Coin Owned by Miss Pound An ancient Roman coin minted in the time of the Ro· man emperor Diocletian, is the rarest and most valuable coin in the collection of Miss Olivia Pound, assistant principal an'tf-. adviser to girls. Miss Pound has also a tiny silver piece minted in the reign of Chark< : I of England which she was given when just a child by a university professor. "The coin was the prize which he offered to give me if I could beat him in a foot race and he let me win easily, though I fell several times. Later we examined it· through a miscroscope and discovered its value." The collection contains many rather valuable early American pennies issued between 1870 and 1880.

94 Seniors, More Than H<ilf of January
Class of '40, Born Outside of Lincoln Ninety-four students, more than half the graduating clasi!, were bore outside of Lincoln. Listed among t.'le out-of-town birthplaces are ten different states: Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. How· ever, twenty-'five towns · in Ne-. braska ·also have native represen· tatlves in the class. According to answers to the senior graduation questionnaire put out by the Advocate, 75 o.f the 184 graduating students are going either to colleges or taking up post graduate work. Fifty-four are planning to take up work immediately, while 9 others are. to worll; while . attending college. A number of studen'ts have positions waiting for them, while others have no definite job a.s yet. Instead 01' the usual university or work, the unusual occupation of Clyde Dean is. that of becoming a pi;ofes:;iional baseball player for the New York Giants. Clyde W!!S a members of - the United States All-American baseball team that toured Europe in 1938.
Seventy-one of the students have one or more former Links in their immediate far,1ily. Topping the list in number is Marguerite Meyer, whose five sisters, May, Glenola, Lorraine, Irene and Lucille, were graduated from Lin· coln high. After three years of senior high school, the compiii!d opinions of the students indicate that English, mathematics, history, science and bookeeping, in order of number, have been the most beneficial. Looking· into the future, gradu· · ates' choice of vocations run in great variety from engineering to teaching. . The. most popular vocation for the boy and the girl are engineering and stenographic, respectively. Most unusual oc: ~.upations chosen by the class inclu d·~ Dorothy Aden, pharmacist; Keith BrU:hl, forestry; Jack Frickel; airr-\ane pilot; Ruth Haist, police woman; Robert Koon, vocalist; Marjorie srhuman, morticia n; Don Wieder'span, professional hockey pl::.yer, and Mary Zimbelman, language interpreter.

In The
Classes Br-r-r our constitutions are busy thawing out from the weather and examinations. But our curiosity is still warm and circulating. Choradates preserved in alcohol are not a kind of pickled food we hear, but specimens of animals with backbones used in Miss Lucy Geiger's zoology class. Amphibeans (frogs in our native tongue) , reptiles and fish made up the different types of specimens. Mammals and birds of vertebrae group (we humans fall in this group) were also _studied. Your reporter stumbled (hard to keep one's balance under the heavy load of examinations) over a pending "Battle of Sexes" in Mrs. Ruth Dodge's American history 2 classes today.

Horses are rare since t he dairies started using t r ucks but prehistoric horses are rarer. To see the latter, Mrs. Gladys Temple's fifth pe~iod biology class paid a visit to Morrill hall last Wednesday. Incidentally they chartered a bus for the trip. Adenoids and tonsils (nasty things) are being studied by Mrs. Elaine Smith's physiology student s. The Lincoln clinic loaned the class a model of the above-mentioned organs for demonstration use. 1 Hap's Glorified Ham burgers satisfy that hunger. Open late at 320 No.. 13 Street.- Adv. Sitting in 306 our ever-wandering attention was drawn to something on the hall ceiling which resembled a fish bowl; one of the light fixtures filled with water. After deep thought (ours usually stick to the surfac~) it dawned upon us in a. radiant splash of brilliancy that the roof had sprung a leak, furnishing interest for passersby. We even find labor saving devices in the class. One person in Ralph Hansen'!! modern history 1 classes is assigned to cover t he news each day, giving a more complete resume of daily happenings. The Lyceum club recently held two unusual meetings on broadcasting. One: a radio play arranged for by Mar garet Bumstead, entitled "A Crazy Nation," portrays the excitement caused by the first car in Scotland. The second meeting was a real broadcast which came over a broadcasting set arranged for by C. 0. Morrison. Members of the class read original short stories. George Howard, master of ceremonies, and George Wood, commercial announcer, made the program more entertaining. Jerry Weast brought some records and these were heard between the stories. Well, the semester's fast becoming your reporter's untaunted obsession and bids farewell with: On to your fate In your next classe.~ That yoU' do await My lads and lasses .

Overcrowded Due to the turn out of so many u niversit ies, the law and medicine profession is becoming definitely _. overcrowd ed, a ccording t o L. L. Coryell, president of Coryell and Son.

"E lectrical engineering is coming," says Mr. Coryell, "and when it comes there aren't going to be any engineers t o t a ke care of it. Due to t he fact that rural electrification . and television a r e rapidly gaining popularity there have t o be men t o take care of it."

The Orange and Black quintet from Sioux City boasts two returning lettermen and a six foot four inch center-from another school. It has dropped three of its first eight games, one of its victors being Omaha South. It is rated above Sioux City Central, who won a close game from the Links Saturda y. Central Has Revenge Motive.
The . next foe, Omaha Central, will possibly come to Lincoln for revenge ··as it stumbled on the Links 29c22 December 15. However, if statistics mean anything, the two teams should be f a irly even, as both have lost to Omaha South by nearly the same margin. Britt of Central, who was the high scorer in the g ame against Lincoln, still is the leading scorer and stand-out player. Crete. H as But One Defeat.
The week's rest will then be int errupted when the Crete Cardinals, who .h ave been defeated but once this season, journey t o Linc oln to play February 2. Coach Bob Gibb's Cardinals tripped Bethany 38-22 Saturday. Their height plus the good playing cf Redman and Vifquain contri-· buted to the victory. Foehlinger Still Leads South,

Kimsey To Get Private Flier's License " Gee, -what a thrill," exclaimed L avern Kimsey, Lincoln high •chool · senior, thirteen yea rs ago w hen he made his first trip up in an airplane.

"I think this is one of the most promising occupation s for a young man to enter at the present time," d eclar ed Lavern when asked what chances he had in the Army Air Corps. Lavern said that he guessed the reason why he liked this work so well was because h e's been around a irplanes a good deal of his life and his father is in this kind of work. In finshiing Lavern said, ",An airplane fu rnishes a thrill that can b e ·found in no other place."

Cash will be given for a ll accepted pictu res which should be of the ink prints variety.
"Die Staalmeister," or the procession of horses, or even the picture of refreshing blue water lapping against the sandy rock, I wouldn't miss it so much. Of course, my eyes would i.:act Lo the light spots on the wall where they 11aa hung. Perhaps, once, after their departure I would have remembered how peculiar the burgamasters seemed in white frills, how one grey hodse apparently had five legs or how the cold blue water refreshed me as I passed. Yes, once, like lightning, the fact that they were gone would dart through my preoccupied mind. But it isn't the pictures. They're still in place. It's a woman. A woman I did not appreciate until she departed. She was not just any woman, as these pictures are not just any pictures. Within her existed a quality of understanding and kindness that was so a part of her being that only after she has gone can I notice it. I took her so much for granted. Now, though, I remember. She gave her all to us. She understood our every whim. She smoothed the rough spots in our Jives so as to give us renewed strength. Tirelessly she slaved for us. Never from her lips came an unkind word, from her eyes anything but a radiating smile. To make the road easier for us, seemed her aim . And what of us? We, we drank up her energy and gave nothing in return. So, today I observe a silent plea for forgiveness. And now, in feeble words I t ry to make up for my apparent lack of appreciation yesterday.

Better Living ln Future Made Possible By the Frank Phillips Foundation That the Frank P hillips youth foundation, to train leader s for boy a nd girl work throughout the state, is a step t oward the education of youth, for better living conditions in tomorrow's world, Mrs. R. L. Cochran, wife of the Governor of Nebraska, the chairman of the foundation committee for Nebraska , asser t ed in a n interview . "The crying need is f or trained leaders, as is demonstrated by the findings of a planning board which has ma de a study of youth resources," stated Mrs.· Cochran, Frank Phillips, who g ranted the m oney , was born on a farm in Greeley county, nea r Scotia, Nebraska. He has felt that the con dition of the world now must be improved and that hope for t he f uture rests entirely upon the
youth of t oday. Okla homa and Kansas have previously been given money with which t o carry out girls' work. Nebraska has r eceived $35,000 to be used in furthering Boy Scout work and $15,000, which will be used in Girl Scout, Girl Reserve and Camp Fire Girl w ork. Two methods will be used in training leaders. Seven hundr ed women i:iave received t raining in summer school sessions in ten cent ers throughout the state where facilities for su ch t raining have been established. Field workers have been working constantly in other centers. "The training of leaders is a slow task, and cannot be accom· plished in one day," was the fact emphasized by Mrs. Cochran at the close of the int erview.
Death Talies Edna Williams Suddenly Lincoln High Registrar, Beloved hy Students and ]<'acuity Alike, Succombs Afi.,.. He~rt Attack After more than a 'iuarter of a century of devoted, faithf ul service, a period in which she endeared herself to st udents and faculty of the Lincoln school system, Miss Edna B. WilliiJ.ms died suddenly, Saturday morning, J a nuary 27, of a h eart attack. Burial was Tuesday, January 30, at Wyuka cemet ery.
The Faculty In the passing of Edna Williams the pupils and teachers of Lincoln high school have lost a devoted friend and willing helper. In all the years she was with us I never heard anyone criticize her. She was so kind hearted and self-effacing that both pupils and faculty un wittingly took more of her time and strength than she should have given. Almost every night she carried home piles of records to work over, after a day of harrassing details and c'o nstant Interrupt ions. Pupi ls found Miss Williams so kindly and sympathetic that frequently they would confide in her when no one else 'in the school could f ind out their troubles. The lovliness of her «Dirit was all-inclusive. She was r ... nrl of animals and all sorts of wild life. She loved fine music and beauLirul +hinas. Hers was a rarely sensitive soul. Olivia Pound.

The board n ow has authority to issue $330,000 in Jonds and collections will be mal.e for it on a f ourth of a mill lasis and it has been e s t i m a t e t approximately $190,000 more wil ~e needed to ins ure construction of the schools. Advocates of the n ew school had estima ted that it would take 25 years to retire t hi bonds, under t he fourth of a milladditlonal levy, but others said 22 vears would be needed. What the election really amounts t o is whether voters will authorize continmtion of this same levy for the iecessary t ime t o retire the tot al issue of $520,000. It is believed :4 or 35 years will be needed.

A sound system for Lincoln high school has been a pproved by the board of education and will be ready for use in March or April. Use Programs in Class. The system, which is t o provide a radio speaker in every room in t he building with the main control in the office, will enable t he school to take advantage of many educational opportunities which have never before been available. Although radio programs have been used for teaching purposes,.., borrowed radio s ets placed in t he rooms using t hese programs have been the only means of t ransmission. In a ddition to the class room o pportu nitie ~ 1 t will p1ovidf', 1 t. w1l_ l a lso make possible the broaucast of daily bulletins from the <>ffice. At present only a bout half the pupils a re able to attend assembly programs, because of limited auditorium capacity. Under the new system, messages from prominent speaker s ca n be heard by the entire school. Ca n Se rve Special Groups. Controls can be operated in such a w ay that a ny program useful to a certain course can be switched to the room or rooms desir ing it without being heard in the rest of the r ooms. The system will cost $3,055. The sum of $2,055 is in the student act ivity fund. Thes e are m onies realized from plays and other sources of volunta ry efforts plus class donations. The additional $1,000 will be provided by the board and will be r epaid as fast as th e activity f und permits. The equipment furnished by R. C. A. Victor , costs $2,055; over seven miles of cable will cost $500 and inst alla tion costs $500. R. C. A. engineers will begin immediately. It was explained that a complete check of r adio programs is to be part of the librarian's duties and in the future programs of interest to a certain group will be communicated to the interested persons, who would request t he mam office to "pipe in" th~ program.

l.1incoln High School Student Possessor Of Letters Written During Civil War In his letters t o his wife, E lizabeth, George Woodruff, veteran of Civil war and great uncle of Reid and Da rrell Devoe, gives a complet e a ccount of the war from beginning to end. He was in the 115 Regiment and fought on the side of General Grant. In his let ter to Elizabeth, April 19, 1863, at Vicksburg, Miss., h e said, "Our forces ran the blockade of Vicksburg t he other n ight with eight gunboats and four transports and lost one, but it goes to show that their ea rthworks and batteries are not enough to stop us Northerners. If it was the land w e were fighting for, we would come home, but we have a country and a country's honor to sustain." I n a letter t o his wife, Ma y 30, 1863, at Vicksburg, he wrote: "We are on a deep ravine a nd we have two lines of infantry a nd a rtillery, one in front and one in the rear. There is a constant firing all t he time. We ha ve captured 15,000 to 18,000 prisoners . Our loss w as two wounded and two killed. Smith

On July 8, 1862, he said, "Our men are dying like flies and the stench is awful. I shall never forget it . A few such things are the horrors of war. Two weeks ago last Sunday, the rebels were h aving a m eeting in t he Baptist church. The minister wound up by praying for the Southern confederacy, its officers and army and was pronouncing the benediction as a shell came down through the roof, killing the minister and killing and wounding thirty persons. We have a log cabin to Jive in now. Won't you come in and take tea ? Richmond is sick a nd t he name Vicksburg is poison to us. The cavalry brought in 100 r ebels who were on pat rol duty.

Realization of the fact that he is actually planning to learn :rp.a.y ~e.lp considerably in a critical moment of mdec1s10n whether to stu~y or not. And there are many such moments m youth. During their high school yea.rs, tnol!t stlldents decide on their future vocation, and take courses lMding toward the fulfillment of these ideals. Such courses are to be had for the asking at Lincoln high, and many students learn much from them; Others merely attend class for the credit hours and work toward no definite goal. If high school is your last step in school work, don't stop there. EverJ'. day rush_ to your work with the question m your mmd, ''What will I learn today 1''

:Remarks to this e££ect are heard a.t every appearance · of Lincoln high school's staunch rooters, the Peppers. . After a struggle of three years, the Peppers, at last, are getting the applause they so deserve. When many students sit at home by a fire waiting for the news Of Lincoln high 's 11.thletic ventures, these same Peppers are attending the game in a body, alternately freezing or meltiitg according to various plays and scores. If the tide turns against the Red and Black, the PepperS lead encouragement with snappy yells, bolstering the moral of players and spectators. Through contact with other stout supporters, a. Pepper learns to cheer the ''under-dog'' and smile at defeat. If · you want to be known as a loyal supporter the team, buy an activity ticket for only $1.10 and cheer the team on to st.ill greater success!

Courtesy Campaign ls Rewarded Ior Efforts During the past few months, Lincoln high
hail been Mnducting a strenuous campaign for
better manners. The fight was lead by the stu.dent council and courtesy committee who sponsored a. courtesy contest to bring the idea of good manners to. the attention of every student · in the school. Through their efforts, a noticeable effect was brought about toward the end of the last semester, when on the last day much less paper than usual appeared on the floors in the halls around the l<>ekers. . Now brand new semester has begun and, a1though it is late for ma.king resolutions, the whole school might well make a. resolution to make this the mC'.lst courteous seinester Lincoln high has ever seen. Although the newly selected courtesy slogan is now on the citizenship card, let's not let it exist ther e alone.

If Lincoln high would start this practice, perhaps other schools in Nebraska would also start putting on infantile paralysis drives one week each year. The money given by the students would not hurt their pockets very much for such a worthy cause as this. I am sure that the students in Lincoln high Would be glad to help.

The subject of what the boy friend should wear is being discussed by some Lincoln high girls this year. It s eems they are getting tired of having their "da tes" show up in a plaid shirt and what used to be cream colored pants, but for some reason have turned black. It us ed to be the boys who tried to tell the girls wha t they should wear, but now days the girls are turn ing· the t a bles a nd have decided to tell the boys what t o w ear. One girl thinks it would be a good idea to say, "What are you going to wear?" when asked for a "da te." So boys, ·here's some tips on what t he well- dressed boy is wearing this season. J<' avorite colors are green, brown and tan, and don't forget, those Joe College stripes are just the socks to set off those new high waist ed sla cks, and your wardrobe is not complete without multi· colored tweeds and striped ties.

The Death of Betty Von Brickett
E8·ad ! Geniuses Are
Not Lacking at L.H.S. Someone once said "Geniuses are born, not made." If this is so, perhaps the first word spoken would indicate a genius or an Imbecile. The first word of Bob Adams was "auto." Perhaps this indi· cates great foresight, for that subject .is Bob's main thought today. Then there are the per. sons who show love of animals, Duke Eberhart just Uid "cow" and Marjorie Mengshol said "k!tty." These probably will become members of the Hu· mane Society. Paul Schaupbach realized at that tender age that "a boy's best frl'end is his mother," for he said "mom." But there's Rems Heiny who disagrees for he thought "dada" the more important. Finally there are those in this division whose words probably meant' something. Betty Jer· ner•s· "goo" meant any number of different 'items; while Dolores Schwenker's "all gone" must have been a polite way of saying "more." And Jack Kennedy said "oh" which must have meant anything. So you see this is the intelligence of our junior class at the tender age of 14 months.
Lincoln Student Receives ·Letter From Phillipines Robert Horan, whose father is a major in the army, lives in Rizal, Philippine lsla nds, inside Fort McK inley. Bob attended Lincoln high in his sophomore y ear. On his wa y across Bob saw a coastgua rd cutter stop the ship to take a W a shington :senator back to Washing·Lon for a special s ession of congress concerning the neu· trality act In a letter to Darrell Devoe, junior, Bob said, "I attend s chool . just outside the fort. Half the class are natives; the others are sons and daughters of officers inside the fort. School is from seven in the morning to twelve noon because of the unbearable heat in afternoon. Our vacations start in April and last till the first of July." Bob's only objective to his new home is that one must be eighteen before he can drive and all driving is on the lefthand side of the road. It takes approximately 27 days to receive a letter from the Philip· pines.

Photo-Enthusiasts Look at Slides Kodachrome and Dufay color slides were shown on the screen by C. 0. Morrison at a special meeting of the camera club, Fri· day. The slides were scenes on the Missouri riv er, at Arbor Lodge, at Lincoln high school and from points of interest in Lincoln. These slides were in vivid and true to life colors. The developing process is a long process which is performed only by experts. The business part of the meeting consisted of a readiiig of the club constitution by George Werner and a discussion of the clubs participa tion in the Lincoln hobby show. The meeting was tnen closed by the president, Helen Bennett

There is no excuse for Lincoln high school students to be dis· courteous in the future. The school library at last has in its possession four interesting, new books on etiquette. "Manners for Moderns," by Kathleen Black, is the catchy title of the first of the new eti(luette books, and is small enough to be used :for a boy's pocket reference. Appropriate cartoons by North Young add greatly to the book's general interest and appearance. Cleverly written, and up to the minute on information, this book should be a boy's first stepping stone on the rough road to good manners. Ideal instructions on getting and holding a job are but a few of the numerous points for young men and boys to be found in "The Correct Thing" by William Oliver Stevens. "In the Drawing Room," "Calls," "Sports," "Letters," and "Tl'aveling" are but a few of the interest· ing topics in this lively book. Two inter esting new books on etiquette for girls are, "Let's Set the Table" and "The Young Hostess." First of the two, by Elizabeth Lounsbery, goes far in curing din· ner time jitters by showing a dia· gram of the position of the silverware to the bewildered guest, and offering many helpful hints to the frantic hostess. "The Young Hostess," by Beat· rice Pierce,. tells how to skim over embarrassing moments at your luncheon, how to entertain your "gang," and what t o wear on pie· nics, in a most interestin g style. Cand y pulls are loved by Rll high school students and this book has many new suggestions for novel stunts and candies. Skillfully touching each of the pet peeves of a young hostPss, Miss Pierce proves an etiquette book need not be a bore in oraer to "g et " its point acr oss.
They're More to Be Pitied Than Blamed As you walk down the hall you hear such things as, "Now where could those stairs be?" "I'm sure this is 312 because 311 was right next door," and "Let me see, where was that room yesterday?" You have probably guessed by now, these are the bewiltered of the new sophomores. Everyone she>uld have pity on them. Don't for. get; you were a sophomore once. Once finding the room, they rush in for fear of losing it and alos to see which of their friends might be in that class. Getting seated where everything seems fine, they seem all settled when someone mentions Spanish. With a look of amaze· ment they look at their program card and find they're in 312 when they should be in 321 . Grabbing up their things they rush out the door and down the hall with everybody hurrying to beat the bell. Upon reaching 321 there seems to be no seats and it looks as if they are going to have to sit on the floor. Then fortunately they see a seat up in front by the teacher's desk. All settled now they sink In their seat and dread the end of the period when they must go through it all over again. After a few days of this, they have hopes of finding themselves at home at last.

Censored letters from England have made their appearance at Llncoln high. Myra Colberg, junior, has . seven of them which her father, who resides in London, . has sent her. The letters, from Greece, Norway, Holland, Spain and Den· mark, have all been split open at the side. After the contents were examined, a huge label with the words "Opened by Censor" was stuck on the envelope and the letter was then permitted to pass. Myra brought the letters to school to show them to Miss Annetta Sprung's French 4 class.

Mimes Announce
New Dramatists The Mimes, sophomore dramatic club, try-outs were held Thursday, February 1, 1940, and fifteen new members were announced. Because of the revision of the constitution, which limits the number of boys and girls, only boys were considered for membership. New members are: Bill Holbrook, Milford Epp, Robert Lesch· er, Bob Jones, Charles Taylor, Ted Tolle, Jim McEachen, Elda n Miller, Pace Woods, Dean Forke, Reid Devoe, John Coukling, Earnest Trumble, Richard L a hr and Lowell Anderson. 'l'he Mimes functions for the sophomores only and is sponsored by Miss Ethel Bryant and Mrs. Irma Coombs. The club meets on the first and third Thursday of every month in 326 at 3:10 p. m., the next meeting being on February 15. Many pupils remember the performance, "Twelfth Night," which the Mimes of last semester put on for the benefit of the English classes and "A" and "B" assemblies.

If. some time you flick the dial of your radio to a national hookup and hear a pleasant-voiced young ma.n energetically orating on the deliciousness of a certa in breakfast food or on the ability of a certain tooth-paste to give you that "personality smile," you m a y be listening to a n alumnus of Lincoln high, Bob Moon. Bob, who graduated from Lincoln high in 1936, got his start in radio at 16, when he announced a short Bob Ripley program over KFOR. He waR promoted to the announcing staff of KFOR when he was 18. One year ago in September, the west beckoned and Bob transpla nted himself to California where he became a staff announcer for the Columbia Broadcasting system. A future in radio seems assured for Bob now , and he is beginning to establish a reputation for top-flight announcing. Three former Links were recently ekct ed to Beta Gamma Sigm a , honorar y business administration fraternity. Those so honored were B eatrice.

OUR SPECIAL
Automobile shops . in Lincoln high have some new and very fine machines and testing equipment loaned to them by a local auto· mobile company. These machines are used mostly for night school every F riday night. Machines Test Automobiles. This includes eight testers on one unit. They are, compression guage, used to test the compression of the cylinders; performance tester, tells of the engine performance and ·braking effort ; coil meter, used to test coils whether they are good or bad; exhaust analyzer, tells how the carburator is set; fuel-pressure guage, used for testing fuel pump ; tachometer, used to tell how fast the engine is idling in revolutions per minute and condenser tester, used for testing condensers for good and dead. Another machine is called a syncrograph and is used in testing distributors. This machine will test t he distr ibutor and tell its weak points as if it were under actual driving conditions a nd can be adjusted to factory specification~.
The battery analyzer is a machine that tests batteries for weak cells, and low current capacity in the battery. The rectifier or battery cha rger will hold six batteries and charge them in about 48 h ours. Mechanics Are Enrolled. The night school class is held every Friday night from 7 :30 t ill 10:00. Members mus t be mechanics who have had a minimum of five years experience and they pay a f ee. Lesson sheets are given to each one to study and then t hey are given a test. About 011e h our is spent on lectures and d iscuo. sion, the other time spent on shop practice and using the new equip· ment.

Links Win Three and Lose One; Meet Beatrice Next Beechnermen Split Wins In Their Reserves Drop Links Down East and Central; Weekend Tussles, Squeeze By Crete Dorchester Break Five Game Losing Held Scoreless Till Finish of But Make Poor Showing Against South Fourth Quarter Streak With Narrow Victory Wilkinson Shines As Lincoln Downs Crete, Both Teams Play Bangup Ball
Revised BaskethaH Schedule Released
Playing greatly improved ball, a revamped Link's crew put the clamps on the Crete Cardinals by a score of 36-35 Thursday at Whittier. The game was filled with thrills, spills, and chills during every minute of play, with neither team getting more than a four point lead all evening. Both teams were dead on the basket, but the Beechnermen pulled ahead in the last quarter by virtue of missing nary a free throw. Going to the shower rooms at the half with Lincoln leading 15-13, both teams came back with the in· tention of winning. Floyd Wilkinsen made a set-up, followed closely by Vifquain's four points. Floyd then made a beautiful one-hander, and brother Ray made a free throw, the foul being on Vifquain, which made the score 20-17. From then on it was a nip and tuck battle with both teams tied as many times as an old shoe string. At 33 all, Ray Wilkinson, Merlin .James, and Bobby Campbell put in their gratis shots to ice the game for Lincoln. Floyd Wilkinson was high point man with 12 points, and Hareth of Crete next with 11. For Lincoln, it was the Wilkinson brothers, while Vifquain and Hareth sparkled for Crete. The summary: Crete Loetterle f Rodman f Stastny f.g Kohel c Hareth g Vifquain g

Track Champions Practice Steadily •' With temperatures h o v e r i n g about the zero mark and Jack Frost a more frequent visitor than "Old Sol,'' Lincoln high school's state track champions aren't letting any grass grow beneath their frosty feet. Every day a squad, comprised of veterans and hopefuls, practices at the· University of Nebraska's indoor track lay-out under the watchful eye of assistant "Charley" Stout. Melvin Johnson turned in the best time of the year in the 440 yard dash when he breezed around in 58.2 seconds, minus the company of "Buzz" Roberts, who started with him, but came down with. a turned ankle on the second turn. Bob Leonard has shown the fin· est form in the high hurdles to date and should ably replace such fine "timber toppers" as Jordan and Nickerson, lost by graduation.
Three L.H.S. · Boys in A.A.U. Aquatic Meet Three Lincoln high school boys participated in the annual Midwestern A. A. U. swimming meet at the Omaha athletic club, January 13. These boys braved a severe snowstorm to make the meet successful. Bill Snyder, junior, was the busiest of the trio, taking a second in the 200 yard freestyle a nd a fifth in the 50 yard freestyle, besides swimming on the relay representing the Y. M. C. A. · Warren Emery and Stanley Wentz, junior and sophomore respectively, made up the rema inder of the group from L.H. S. Warren placed third in the 200 yard breaststroke while Stanley got a fourth in the 50 yard free. Outstanding swimmer of the meet was 12 year old Ralph Grabish of the Lincoln Y. M. C. A. who beat out three high school swimmers from Omaha Tech to · get a. second in the 150 yard backstroke.
School Broadcast Saturday at 10 All students and patrons of Lincoln high school are urged to tune in on the regular Saturday morning broadcast presented by students at 10 o'clock. The student council and the home room representatives will present a sketch about the orientation of sophomores into Lincoln high, making out of curriculums, registering, their first assembly and what takes place at the lOB assemblies. There will be a bl'ief summary of Lincoln high news and music by the girls octet and a boys quartet.
For the benefit of all the basket· ball fans, this revised schedule has just been issued: Home. Feb. 10-York Feb. 17-0maha Tech Away. Feb. 9-Beatrice Feb. 14-Jackson (Coliseum) Feb. 23-Kearney Regional Tournament, March 6-9. State Tournament, March 13-16.
Sports Chatter Charles Cook, junior, is unable to attend school because of a throat infection. Cook is a member of the Lincoln high swimming team and swims in the 220 yard freestyle. James "Step" Jones, fast guard on Lincoln's basketball squad, reported for practice Monday night after being ineligible since the first game. He lettered in football this fall and is a promising candidate for the track squad. His return to the cage squad should strengthen Coach Beechner's Red and Black quintet. Wilbur Lebsock, letterman in· football and track, will be one of Joe Toman's main hopes this year in defending the state track title. Wilbur specializes .in the broad jump and can be called on to run the dashes and in the relay. Don Tucker is the only golf letterman to return to this year's team. There were many golfers who threatened the first team last year. These are Paul Hyland, Toin Hyland, Richard Spomer, Tom Dowark and Bob Vose, who will probably do the same this year. Paul Hyland won the junior city city tournament last year. Johnny Betz, last year's number one man will be inelitrible ·this fl.Pr:'c..ch:>."t'

For many years boxing in mgn schools has been considered too dangerous a sport. However, some boys have obtained some figures showing that there are less accidents in boxing than in football, basketball, or track. The equipment costs very little, and the present coaching staff could. easily handle this extra activity. Dale Doty and Alvin Kirkendall both juniors, fought in the semifinals of the Golden Gloves at Fremont, January 22. They both received medals for their performances. Alvin Kirkendall also fought in the finals at Fremont, January 29. Charles Hoffman, Truman Clare and Charles Reacock, all ex-Links, fought in the district finals at Fremont. Truman Clare is the only boy from Lincoln that won his bout. He has yet to fight in Omaha before he receives the title of state champion in the 175 pound class. Charlie Ewell, scrappy guard on Joe Toman's reserve basketball team is one of the most consistent scorers on the team. "Romeo" can always be counted on for the few baskets that often provide theh winning points. Charlie is also a reserve leterman in both basketball and football. Dick Chapin, flashy halfback on last years reserve football team, has been forced to quit track be· cause of a job. n football Dick was ver yfast, a shifty runner, and an able blocker. His speed would prob· ably have come in handy on the track team.
Winning Streak Too Good to Last Links Go ·Down In Humble Defeat Playing ragged ball and unable to hit the hoop, the Red and Black cage squad went down in defeat to Omaha South Saturday night at Omaha. The 34-23 defeat broke Lincoln's three-game winning streak and enabled the Packers of Omaha. South to advance to lead the Missouri Valley Conference race. Sanstead, South's Center "Hot". Jim Sanstead, South's tall blond center, banged away at the hoop for 12 points, most of which were one handed pivot shots which the Red and Black quintet merely watched swish through the net. Late in the fourth quarter Lincoln's Floyd Wilkinson was put out of the fray via the foul route, while throughout the game, Lincoln's main offensive threat was Bud King who managed to collect 7 points. Links Journey to Beatrice Next. The Links journey to Beatrice Friday night to take on Fred Shirey's Orange quintet, which last Friday night took a 43 to 29 pasting from the high flying Jackson five who at present are on top of a ten-game winning streak, being undefeated so far this season.

Reserves Down Crete Seconds Eddie Hall continued to set the offensive pace for Joe Toman's undefeated Lincoln Reserves Thursday night, pouring seven points through the loop in a well earned victory over Crete Reserves 33 to 21. Besides Hall, a trio of Lincoln players s'tood out, two of which were playing their second reserve game, being moved up from the sophomore team. The boys were Tom Hyland and the two newcomers, Cliff Wilson and Bob Keller. For Crete it was Mooberry that was practically the whole show. The Lincoln Reserves led all the way, being ahead 18-12 at the half.

Recreation, Youth Groups Plan to Hold Evening Meetings At School Buildings Recreation groups and youth clubs are meeting at the various school buildings and recreational center s in the evenings, according to a statement mal by James C. Lewis, director of Lincoln's recreation committee. Havelock high school is already in use and both gymnasiums in Lincoln high are scheduled every night. "Our present game center near Lincoln high is at the Muny pool bathhouse," said Mr. Lewis, "which has been revamped for that purpose. Although the youth clubs have restricted memberships, any six people may get together and start a new one." All sorts of games are played, the most popular of which seems to be table tennis, chinker checks and shuffle board. Several dances also have been planned for the fu· ture,

Lincoln reserve basketball team, dicking almost to perfection, downed. a mediocre but fighting Dorchester team 41-5 January 30 there. It was the reserves sixth consecutive win of the season. The reserves offense was led by Ed Hall, who garnered 12 points. The boys played a fine defensive game allowing Dorchester one lone basket, Which came in the last two minutes of play. Dorchester was allowed one lone free-throw the first half, while the reserves amasse.d 19 points. The quintet that started the game went into the third quarter and made eight points, allowing Dorchester one point. Then the second five went in and made 14 points to the opponents three points. In six games the reserves. have made 194 points to the opponents 104, making an average of 32 points per game for the reserves as compared to 17 points for the opponents. Summary:
The game center is open from noon· till eleven o'clock at night, the greatest numbers being present right after school, and from seven till ten in the evening. Con· sidering its limited funds, Lincoln ransk well with other cities of similar size, and is promoting a worthy cause. "Economy is shown everywhere. Money is actually saved. By giving children a place to go, some· thing to do, we keep them oil the streets and out of trouble. "We have not been .bothered by poor conduct. There is no drink· ing. The gatherings are chaperoned by regular emplayees, WP A employees, or by volunteers, and everyone has behaved very well. Yes, I think we are spending our time in something gainful," stated Mr. Lewis.
versity of Nebraska and former all-American football star, presented diversified moving. pictures of the trip of the American track team which toured Europe la.st summer, and portions of both the Nebraska-Baylor and the Nebraska-Missouri football games of 1939, at the January 30 meeting of the Hi·Y. Mr. Weir remarked on the masterful, relaxed running form of the famous Finnish distance runner, Maki, protege of another great Finn, Nurmi. Maki. who fought for the F'innish cause against Soviet Russia is in the United States ai raise money for relief. The American team which swept through every meet with ease, was coached by Mr. Weir ' and composed of such stellar stars as Jef£0 .. A•• ~f' ~bnford_ Rideout of North Texas State Teachers col· lege and C~horan of Indiana. Their most prominent triumph occurred in White City stadium, London, when before 54,000 people, only one nation other than the United States, managed to win a first place. Highlights. of Nebraska's 20-0 defeat of Baylor and Pitching Paul Christman's masterful passing against Nebraska in the Missouri game. were sho'\\'11.

Former Links Is Nebraskan Editor To head the · staff of the Daily Nebraskan (University of Nebraska's daily paper) are two former managing editors of the Advocate, Richard De Brown and Arthur Hill, who will hold the positions of editor and business manager respectively. Also chosen were Clyde Martz as managing editor and Lucile Thomas as news editor. Mr. Martz was a managing editor and Miss Thomas a news editor when on the Advocate staff. Paul Svoboda, also a news editor, was graduated from Lincoln high in 1938. He came from Linwood, Nebraska, and spent only his senior year in Lincoln high.
Links Swinuning Pool Remodeled The swimming pool had its face lifted last week by having two of the ladders (used for climbing out of the pool) removed and the other two placed on one side, instead of on the end as they were. This change was necessary because the ladders are a hinderance to the members of the swimming team when making their turns at either end of the pool. In addition to having the ladders changed, lane markers running the length of the pool were painted on the white tile bottom. Coach Kuklin had the team work out at the university ,pool at the coliseum while the llepairs were made.
Link's Pocket Second Straight Victory, Third Win of Season Sporting a second half scoring festival, the Links pocketed their second straight and their third win of the season, trouncing Omaha Central, 35 to 25, on the Whittier maples Saturday, January 27. It was also the Links' second victory over the Central high's quintet. Wilkinson brothers netted all but three of the Red and Black's last half total. Ray flipped in fourteen while Floyd had nine. Central high's star center, Britt1 was the whole show for the Oma.hans, garnering four buckets be· sides contributing some neat floor piay, Starting slowly, the Links held a 13 to 12 halftime margin, and capitalizing on their greater height, the Red and Black spurted to a decisive victory. In the prelim, the Lincoln reserves downed the Swanton cagers 34 to 21, after trailing 10 to 9 at the . half. Abbie Klein and Darwin Blazek led a second half rally, connecting for eight and seven points, respectively. R. Schnell and Sipak collected 19 of Swan· ton's 21 points_ The sumrnary: Linr,,.1u wug

.Girls Sports Lubb dup, lubb dup are the sounds that Dr. Janet Snow Forbes .and Dr. Grace Loveland are hearing via the stethoscope. The girls in the physical education classes are getting medical examinations, and this will probably continue for two or three weeks. In the meanwhile, the ones who have already been examined have a nice time scaring· the others. In the gymnasium some girl was saying to her friend, "they make you jump, hop and skip until you ar<i really tired!" , Did you hear that a new social dance class was being held on Tuesde.ys for beginners? It isn't only for the girls, but boys as well. Also, the one that was started last semester is still going strong on Thursday evenings. Miss Grace Morgan teaches these classes and Bob Ellsworth, University of Ne· braska student, is the accompanist. Don't be afraid to join, you'li enjoy it and learn how to dance too! Just remembered that Miss Morgan said, "We are starting. out the new semester with no new black· board!" Well, it seems that this .w ill give the girls an eye examination, too. Girls, if you want to see your heroes pfay, why not buy an ac· tivity ticket and go to the basketbal! games?
Underdogs Led By 'Big Bud' Kiug With Able Help From Wilkinsons Hitting the basket with regu· larity, Coach Beechner's Lincoln high quintet finally broke its five game losing streak, upsetting Sioux City East 40-37, .January 26 here. Starting the game with a re• juvenated line-up · and decidedly the underdogs, the Red and Black five bounced away to 14-9 lead at the end of the first quarter. Behind at Intermission.
Leading 24-17 with two and onehalf minutes to play in the first half, the Lincoln five let down for a few seconds and went down· stairs ·at the intermission, behind 25-24. The Links came back strong in -the thi.rd quarter to gain a lead ·they managed to maintain throug·hout the remainder of the game. For Lincoln it was the Wilkin· son brothers l;tnd Bud King who really stood out. Mathers, who led the offensive with 15 points, and Dirr, playing his last game for Sioux City, were outstanding for the Raiders.

Mother of Two Lincoln High Students Tells of Poverty in Bolshevist Russia Born in Russia, of a poor peasant family and of German descent, the mother of two Lincoln high students relates her picturesque experiences. "As a small child, things '3eemed to go along quite well, and. we always had enough to eat. But in Iate.r .Year.<; when the Tsar r eg im e was overthrown, there usually very much." Her parents had died before she was sixteen and so she lived with her brothers and sist ers. After there was no more Tsar the money which was valuabl~ during his regime was used as wallpaper. "Why in fact," continued this interesting woman, "in the year 1921 for one loaf of bread you had to pay 6,000 dollars paper money_ This was because the money was so worthless." People's property and money was taken away by the Bolshevists and dire poverty was everywhere. Finally she found out that her aunt was going to America again. Her aunt had visited it before and her uncle was already in America working. He sent them the money
First Fire Drill Takes More Time Than Usual The first fire drill of the second semester was held January 31. The building was emptied in about three and a half minutes, which is a little longer time than it usually takes.
Girls Should Try An After-School Game If you want something else to while away the time why not go to after-school basketball games, where Miss Lillian Story teaches you the fundamentals of basketball. It's a rousing game and lets you keep that school-girl figure. These games are on Mondays and Wednesdays.
and they prepared for the journey. However, it was all carried on secretly because the Bolshevist government wouldn't have allowed them to get out of the country. They took a train to the nearest border town and one night, they got safely across into Latvia. From then on they didn 't ha.ve to worry an y more. In Riga, the capital of Latvia, they received their passports which were sent from america, by her uncle. "However we couldn't continue on to America at once because we became dreadfully ill from not getting enough food. We ~tayed in a hospital in Rigt for four months. "At last the day came when we could 'continue with our journey, and we visited Germany, England and other countries. But we never lingered at one place long." She said that they were told that streets in America were paved with gold. "But it didn't matter that they really weren't," said the now proud American citizen smiling, "the most beautiful sight I ever saw was the. Sta.tue of Liberty, when the ship was slowly coming into the New York city harbor."

However, 1940 brought an In· crease of seventy-one over the old number. Absences figured more evenly than did tardiness. The percent present In 1939 was 95 while In 1940, during the cold month, the figure slipped to. 94.

Vocational Tests Used in Lincoln Vocational tests for all English 3 classes are a new project in Lincoln high. There are approximately 330 sets of questions designed to find into which vocational group a student belongs. There are seven general groups including scientific, computational, musical, artistic, literary, social service and persuasive.

For example, if he is high in scientific a11d computional interests, it is evident that he would be fitted for an engineer's profession. The test, it was explained, has nothing whatever to do with ability, but simply with the person's own persona.I preferences for two things. Neither is there any time limit on the test. Since it is a comparatfvely new test, being copyrighted in 1939, it will be tried here and if proved successful will be given to all incoming· 10 B's.

Preparatory Aviation Course Suggested If one should stop to think about i( he would realize that the field in aviation is and has been rapidly increasing, and that trans.·portation by air is to be much more comm0n in the future. At the present day many or some persons feel that it is not safe to go up in an ajrplane, bu:t statistics show that in the last ha1f of the year of 1934, of the approximate _38,822,000 miles flown during unscheduled flymg operations, . including experimerttal, exhibition, . pleasure and other activities, there were only 855 fatalities which includes pilots, co"pilots, students, passengers, aircraft crew, ground personnel and spectators. This amounts to. 45,406 miles per accident, while in ~he Slime year the scheduled operations are still safer, with 592,802 miles per accident. Moreover, newer equipment 0£ 1939 makes aviation still more safe. Some time, somewhere pilots, co-pilots, airplane· mechanics and many other persons employed in aeronautics, have to be trained, tested and re-tested :for such serVice and since Lincoln high school is not just a place to keep students out of trouble, but is a pface to tl'ain students in their chosen field to make them. a success in the future, why couldn't there be had among the ·other courses, a type of preparatory aviation course 1 . As a result L. H. S. would tmdoubtedly produce some of the best pilots.
Snowballing Can Result In Serious Injuries This is the time of year when you walk out-of-doors and, if you didn't know that this was the United States, you would think you . were in the midst of an air raid, A shower of snowballs greet you from every side ·and after you have been hit a time or two, you are positive summer is the best time of the year. . "Snowballing" is a lot of fun and can be \ a harmless sport. In the grade schools and ju11ior high schools of this city therEi ate rules strictly forbidding the throwing .of snowballs; but in Lincoln high the students have been treated as adults and are merely asked to throw them away from the school and other students. This request is honored by most of thl'l pt'l6ple of !,incoln high; however, the few who receive sonie strange pleasnre ot1t of hitting some unsuspecting passer·by with an icy snowball 8hould think twice the n·ext time they are so inclined. Persons have bee.n known to lose the sight of an eye or their hearing as the result of a snowball not to mention the numerort;; black eyes, scratched faces a.nd bruised limbs. Recently a Lincoln high girl was injured when she was hit in the faee with a srtowball. Her glasses were broken and it could _have been worse. A snow ball thrown into the window of a passing car may cause the dt•iver t6 lose control of his car and the result tuight be disastrous. 1f each member of thll student body will co-operate with the board or edu<ltltion and the school faculty a serious accident may be averted~

Woman. WOMAN-She's an angel in truth, a dem<m in ·fiction-, A woirlan 's the greatest of all contradiction; She's afraid of . a cockroach, she'll scream at a mouse, But she'll. tackle a husband as big as a house. S.he ;ll take him for better, she '11 take him for worse; . . She '11 split his head open and then be his nurse; . And when he is well and can get out of bed, She '11 pick up a teapot and throw at his head. Shll's faithful; deceitful, keen sighted and blind; She's crafty, she's simple, -she's cruel, and she's kind. She '11 lift a. man up, she '11 cast a man down, She'll make him her hero, her ruler, her clown. , You fancy she's this but you find that she's that, For she'll play like a kitten and fight like a cat. ln the morning she will, in the evening she won't, ..And you 're always expecting she will but she don't.

"You have the best time of your life at the. age of twenty. F()Ur years ago he was heard to say, "You have the best time of your life at sixteen." Guess his age.

Perhaps some of the pupils ot Lincoln high have looked out an east window afid . noticed a wide strip of dry land stretching' from the school to the boiler room. This reporter noticed it and im• mediately ilet out to dl!icover the source of the mystery. 'ind Geist• · linger, head custodian, started me on an interesting adventure. Going into the base;ment and through a maze of passages, turning on light switches as we proceeded, we finally arrived at the · source of that mysterious strip of dry land, the heat tunnel. About six feet high and seven feet ·wide, it stretches 300 feet in a straight line from the school to the boiler room. Traveling beneath a long row of light bulbs· (the reporter had to stoop in order to walk along), we reached the halfway mark, shown by a scissor jolrtt In the heat pipes. 'l'l'lLs joint keeps . the pipe from breaking when It expands and con-. tracts. The heat got greater as we pursued our trail and. at last we. were greeted by a cool blast of air from the Miler room. No, I'm not crazy, the air from the· boiler room was .cool, although two 150 horsepower
boilers were generating heat for the building, detting down to · stati1tios; it was explained just how much coal ls burned to keep the school warm. When the temperature outside 1B about zero, about eightelln o:r twenty tons of coa.J. are used each day. On a day like last Thursday (when your r~ported visited· the tunnel), With tha mercury at about 20 degrees abov~ zero, more than. · ten tons of coal are burne.d or abOut seventy tons a week. Al· ready this winter, fifteen ea.rs of coal have been us~d and a car contains 45 tons. This means that 675 tons, or 1;850,000 poundil have been burned so far this winter, with more to come. Among the things which hli.Ve effects on the 'heating are wind velocity and out· side temperature. Teachers, don't open your win- . dows wh!!n it is too warm, for this · throws · the whole beating system off, The rooms. are heated by a central system and warm. a.Ir is blown into them by one fan. If windows In one room are ·open, the warm afr leaks out and lllake11 less heat go .into .t he otJter rooms. If you ever tried to blow up twe be\. loons · with one hose and one of them was punctured; all of Ute air went out of both of them. This is the way the heating system works. Now, the mystery of the everdry strip of land la cleared.

Dodd Death Recalls Letter Ambassador Wrote to Teacher About Lincoln The recent death of William E.

Dodd in 1937. Miss Beekmann was ·a student of the former ambassador when he was chairman of the department of history at Chicago uni· versity while she was studying for her master's degree. In his letter, which answered a card mailed from Gettysburg to him at the .A.rnerioan embassy in Germany, Dr. Dodd said in part, ''Washington, where historkal documents are so many and some of them saddening to those of us who have had hOpes that our great people would finally become a real democracy- the interei:!ts artd freedom of the common man, being major objectives.

A.pproxlrrllttely 1,000 Ltttcoln ed. ucators and guests gatheted at the Lincoln high aUdltorlUM 'I'hUrtiday, February 8, to hear a lecture entitled "Educating 0Ur11e1ve• for the New World" by Albert Edward Wiggam·, widely known in the fleld of psychology science. Declaring, ''All we need ht the world is a change in the attitudes of mind" and "The · oniy pe<>ple who ever made any progre11s in the world were the open minded ones," Mr. Wlgg'atrt challenged the people to have a "splrlt ot compromiM'' ·and a "passion for education." Continuing he said that the wotld is underl"oing a tevolutlon .of renewal and recovery and the last halt century has aeen more scieti.ti!ic advii,ncement;. than ·. any other stage in history. · Education is Twci·F'old. "Education should do two thiiigs to a person: it should fill his bead with all pos111!:1le bifori:riatlo~. it ean absorb and it should te11,ch 'hirit how to utillze those fil.ct.!I," stalM the psychologist. "'You must organize knowledge around a ctntral theme toward a great goa.t·; These remarks led up to distinguishing art ed*ated person from Im uneducated bne.· lie cla.aslfied the uneducated person into three groupjj, the .extremely ignorant ntan who. is too dumb to be harmful,. the· persoli8 who know. more but do little thinking and. the · half-educated group. ''A. half ·educated person .l• the tnost dangerous: it la he who develops the idea that. he has some invincible scheme, aueh a1 communism, socialism, faclsm, nazism and all others which are destroying mankind." The . educated•. per1on kMpa his mind tolerantly open on every que1tion, .trtea to find . out the. btst method of learning, and exa.tnlnes without ridicule, the great dr1\'lng· and orgaril:zing ideas ot our tlmo, even thOugh they di.Uer with his opinion.

Most of the students are pleased with the school. Walter Gardner from Shattuck· said, "I think Lincoln high $Chool is swell. At least you are not running the chance of getting demerits here as one does in a military school." Walter explained that one hundred merits are given to each student at the first of each fall term and if the students lose all of their merits they are expelled from the school. "Teachers at Shattuck are from famous colleges such as Colgate, OxfOrd and Chicago," he pointed out. "Their method!! of teaching are almost like Lincoln high's." From Santa Ana senior high ·school in Santa Ana, California, cames Jack Bracelen, The build· ings and equipment there, are more streall'i.lined and modern than in Lincoln.

In Home Economics Students Hear Preview Of New Spring Styles Mrs. Marie E . Lea<lley, buyer for Hovland-Swanson's, gave a p review of the spring styles to :Mias Marjorie Tye's home econ omics 4 classes F ebruary 6. She was accompanied by J . A . Wylie, . d epartment manager, who also spoke. According t o the speakers, g ray t ops the list in colors if definitely accessor ized with bright a cces• sories, preferrable hot pink. All pastel shades are good and navy blue with kelly g reen is very smart . They u rged all girls to use their imaginat ion and combine many colors in t heir spring wardr obes. P rinted dresses with sweaters are very popular and all dresses h ave a very definite feminine touch. The fullness has all come t o the front and Mrs. Leadley gave her assurance that this would not make the girls look larger. Fad Outcome of Air Raids. N ext to gray as top color, pockets head the list in fads. Big pocket s, liC:tle pockets, pockets on for mal dresses, . pockets on skir t s, pocket s everywhere. The very large ones called "Cash a nd Carry" originated during the air raid scares in London as a convenience t o the En glish citizen. Cfas mal!ks and lunches could be t ucked away into these ready for immediate use. Accessories Make the Outfit. The r oller type hat is still very · popular with only a lit tle change. The crown is flatter and it is definitely dipped in front. Wedge shoes are very smarf and the open toe and heel model will again head the shoe style list. According t o Mrs. Leadley, no girl need wear the same dress t wice in succession, for with a little careful planning and one basic garment which can be interchanged with other accessories and clothes she can make three or four inst ead of one costume, inexpensively. Shoes, bags, gloves and h ats should be planned so that the · ba gs and shoes are t he basic costume color wh ile the gloves a nd .nat a ud t he · bright, different tone •

In February 14, 270, a Cath· olic priest died in Rome, most certainly not a notable event, one Catholic priest among thousands of them. But this one priest, Saint Valentine, iived by love and peace. He followed t he teachings of Christ by loving his brothers. Valentine was especially be· loved by the young people Of Rome, where he lived. He aided them, and taught them how to live In kindness and pea ce. By thus doing he incurred the anger of the Roman Emperor, Claudius. Cast In prison by the angry ruler, Valentine fina lly died, lonely and old. All through the ages however his memory has lived. The youl:h of Rome decided to meet to honor this simple man, and to set one day aside each yea r to· his memory. The c ustom grew and ex· panded until now even in our own day we still commemorate his memory. Truly It is mod· ern ized and some times joked about, but the idea still survives 1,670 years aft er his death ..

THE ADVOCATE
Links Meet Jackson Tonight; York, Beatrice Dropped Red and Blacl~ Meet Winter and Company In Annual Tussle U. of N. Coliseum Host to Top Notch Game of Week; Links in Shape "There'll be a hot tim.e in the old town tonight." The truth of this statement will surely be carried out tonight for Lincoln meets Jackson at eight o'clock in the University of Nebraska coHseum. This game will be a thriller of the old school and if Lincoln can . stop Waldo Winter & Co., it will accomplish something no other team has done this season. Winter's under-basket work and all~around play has branded him as all-state center this year. Red Neihart, John Bottorff and Vince Cutshall will also cause Lln.~oln plenty of trouble. Close Game Last Year. In last year's fray, Waldo won the game for ~he Cardinals by a close 29 to 22 scOTe. Tom Rice, Floyd Wilkinson a nd Fred Metheny were the meteors from Lincoln while Jimmy Owen and Waldo Winter were Jackson's threats. Leading at the half by a score of 13-7, the suburbanites led throughout the fray and started th2 fourth quarter with an 18-14 lead. The game was filled with fouls, 25 to ·be exact, the most spectacular being Neihart's . flying block of Metheny . School Spiritsare High. Spirits at both schools are very high, with all loyal Lincoln followers looking for ·an upset, and Jackson fans predicting the thirteenth straight. Looking at the respective records, J ack son ha s the advantage of 13 victories to the Becchnerites 5 wins.

However, don't sell Lincoln short, because Floyd Wilkinson has improved two-fold over last year when Waldo Winter ran rings around him. The Peppers of Lincoln plan a " pep" assembly and an extraordinary card section at · the game while t he students of J ackson have been trying to organize a boys p ep club, and both t eams are send· tng their bands. Coach "Cy" Yordy of Jackson was associated with Lincoln high · school last year when he coached Lincoln's reserve basketball team. Tickets for the Jackson-Lincoln game Wednesda y, F ebruary 14, will go on sa le toda y. They will be sold today only in f ront of t he cafeter ia during lunch per iods, also in room 117 unt il 4:00. The price is twenty-five cents to both students and facutly. At the game they will be sold for forty cents; Activity tickets are not good for the price of admisaion. Fir st gam e is at 6:30 between Lincoln reserves a nd Jackson re-. 11erves. The second gam e between L incoln "A" t eam and J ackson "A" team begins at 8:00.

Sports Chatter . Harvey Kaufman, junior, has checked out for track. This is good news for Coach Joe Toman and the team who will be defend• ing the state track title. Harvey, who will run the 440, was seen by one of the other track men as he led his sports classmates in a 440 race. Harvey has an unorthodox style of running which seems to give him more speed. Nicholas "Nick" Francis and William "Bill" Pierson are planning to attend the National A.A.U. basketball tournament to be held at Denver In March. They will travel by motorcycle. Bill Edwards, ex-Links of '38, has really been going places on the swimm'ng squad of the University of Nebraska. He never failed to place in a meet while swimming for Lincoln high and now in university he has taken either first or second place in every meet this year. He received two firsts in the meet against Kansas state, and a first and second in the meet against Minnesota. "Rollie" Allman, a junior, swam for the Lincoln Y.M.C.A. in a dual meet with the Omaha "Y" juniors Feb~uary 3 at the Y. M.C.A. "Rollie" made hims~ lf very promine nt in the. meet by swimming three events. He tock a third in the 40 freestyle-;-a ·t cfurth 1rr i:ne· •mr y ara freestyle, and swam in the 160 yard freest.rle relay. The Lincoln "Y" lost ttie meet, 29 to 28. Hampton Williams, promising shot putter on . Joe Toman's track tea m, has moved into number two spot in the shot put ring. Hamp'ton has been putting the shot around 40 feet, consistently, and is second only ~o Howard Debus, who led Lincoln to a state championship in 1939. William is a big , f ast a nd rugged boy who, with a little more p ractice, should g o places on this year's track and football t eams. Howa r d Debus, who has bee n out of the spotlight since the end of the football season, is planning on resuming his position by going out for track by the first of March. Howard, who has lette red in football, ba sketball a nd track, did not join the basketball team this year as he usua lly does since he has bee n working and also decided he would like to start track before the basketball season will be over. Don Ba uer, a junior, is planning . to go out for baseball this coming spring. Don, aft er pla ying four yea rs of American Legion bas eba ll, is a consistent hitter, and a good outfielder. When called upon, Don can also handle t he pitching duties. He should be a great aid to Coach Frank Mueller's baseball team. Roy Brehm, '40, has joined the Foreign Service and is awaiting his tra nsfer from Lincoln to the west coast. F rom the coast he will be tra nsferred to the Haw aiia n Islands where he will begi n his regular duties. While attending Lincoln high, Roy lettered on the trac k team under Cy Yordy. Wrestling at the Y.M.C.A. is becoming a popular sport among the boys at Lincoln high school. A few boys w ho have made the Y.M.C.A. wrestling t eam are Jack Beers, Jr., and "Ken" Miller, Sr. , in the 160 pound class and P a ul Musser; Jr~, a nd Roger H ag em an, Sr., in the 150 pound class. Jack Beers and "Ken" Miller were on 4 the t eam last year, and took s everal trips to Iowa and Omaha a nd small towns near Lincoln. Both boys lettered in wrestling and gave g ood perform·a nces in all their meets.

The Lincoln quintet held the lead all evening, but not until the third stanza did Lincoln really apply the heat and bring the score to 42-19.

Ins ertion of Tom Hyland into the team's line-up soon after the game started helped some, but not enough to pull the team through. Bob True st arted a one man r ally in t he third period, but it fell short. The r eserves did manage to pull up to 18 all, goinig into the fourth quarter. The reserves made only one point the last quarter while Cathedral made four. Ca· thedr al's defense seemed to baffle the r eserves who couldn't seem _to penetra te it and were forced to t a ke long shots t o make' their points a s they w ere ineffective at the free throw line. Goebel .and Lococo who each m a de six points were best for Cathedral while Wilson and True were best for the reserves with five a nd s ix points r espectively.

Paul Hyland Does Giant'.s Task in Game With Dukes
In a hysterical basketball game, Ralph Beechner's Red and Black quintet from Lincoln high, came· back into the win' column by nos· ing out Beatrice 32 to 31, at Beat• rice last Friday night. F. Wilkinson was the main point maker for Lincoln, .getting five field goals and five free throws, while Buddy King came through with four field goals. Floyd's work under the basket was the de· ciding factor. Lincoln held the lead at the end of every period, but Beatrice was ahead at some time during each of the first three quarters and the score was 24-all ·at the concluding chapter. The late tie was broken by F. Wilkinson's six points to make the score 32-28, but Dick Plebuch and Charles Plath reduced it to a sin· gle point. F. Wilkinson and Buddy King sparked for Lincoln while Plebuch and Plath shone for the Orangemen; The game was marred by twen-. ty-two personal fouls being called on both t eams.

Washington Made Himself Worthy of Advantages • Memory of Geor ge Was hington, first president of the United States, ''Father of our countr y," statesman, soldi er, surveyor, and one of the best all-ar ound geniuses the United States has ever known, ling ers on in the hearts of true America ns. For how can liberty . minded, peace-loving people forget him 1 This man of p atriotic splendor possessed a character few men have ever had: a character season ed by sixty-seven years of st ruggle and con tact with all w alks of life, pleasure and hardships. His power of address- -its consideration and simplicity-won him the esteem and devotion of others. Washington's ancestors were eminent in politics and r eceived a fair education. H is great-grandfather w a s known in V ir ginia a s Colonel John Washington, a m a n of circumstance. Making himself wort hy of his advantages, and coming from something, George Washington became m or e. Although h e was very sensitive, he could be jocular in the very hear t of crisis. A.s a boy he was en ergetic, had a grave spirit which w a s partly due to necessit y, w as a r espectedumpire of school-ground disputes and a romantic follow er of the fair sex. He had brown hair and stead y bl u e-gr ay ey es. 'vVlien his sch ool-da y s ended, his ednP-ati on had j ust he gun: H is work in surveying with his brother Lawrence w a :!i remarkable, and as a woodsman, George had no superior. On Janu ary 6, 1759, '\Vashington was married to Martha Custis, who brought to him and Mount Vern on a consider able fortune. Although there are few r e cords of her life, her discretion has come down to us. :Fo~ty years of married life for George and his wife were characterized by cons tant mutual d evotion, reliance upon each other when apart, and affection while together. . Tomorrow, · one hundr ed and thirty million descendants of the "F'ather of our country" will celebra te hi s t w o hundred and eighth birthday anniversary. To this natural le ader, a man of moderation with a brain that worked by slow firm steps to draw a conclusion; to a possessor of indestructibe enduran ce of spirit and body, to this . inspiring human, George Washington, the nation as a unit dedicates itself.
Havelock Schools Using New Marking System • Experimentation with a new grading system has been approved by the Lincoln board of education and is now being tri ed at the Havelock schools. 'l'his g ra§ing sy st em compares :a student's work with lils ability, shows whe1;e his work is strong, and points out where mor e effort is needed. J. E. Loder, principal of Havelock juniorsenior high schools, in a letter to the parents declared, "One parent voiced this idea recently when he said, ' I prefer to receive a statment telling me that my boy might have ·a great future in public speaking if he had the chance and worked on it, developing his ability; than to be told that he rates a "2 " in English'." Referring to the grading system, Mr. Loder continued, "We believe the ultimate purpose of the school is more nearly that of helping your child become as fine as it is possible for him or h er to be r ather than to r a t e, gr ade , or classify him or her. Although this way of grading rP.quir es more time, teachers have voiced their appr oval for it brings a closer relationship between the schools a nd p arents." Undert aking of such a p r ocedure a t Lincoln hi h would m eet with various d ifficulties b eIr.

Forum To whom it may concern: The foremost topic of argumentative interest for this and the previous semester has been the moral support the school body has and should give the athletic activities ; and the attendance of assemblies for the conducting of the spirit in a definite co-ordinated channel. The opinions of several members of the school have been printed in previous editions of the Advocate and have aroused re· sponses in the minds of the readers. One of these was voiced in the letter written. and submitted by Beverly Hancock, printed in a recent edition. In the said letter she state.• that athletic activities and support of them do not interest her; and the compulsory attendance at such assemblies disgusts her with the restrictions placed by the faculty. Since the matter is personal with herself, no further mention need be made concerning it; but it is permissable to continue the discussion of several statements in the previously mentioned letter. A direct reference was made to the subordination of brains for the advancement of brawn. This is not true as such activities as the honor society, scholarship membership, debating schedules, various dramatic and musical productions, and other activities of intellectual consequence are awarded f ront page space. Yet that news which is of the greatest interest to the largest percentage of the student body must take the back page. I am referring to the wide scope of athletic activities participated in directly by a large number of athletes and indirectly, because of their willing support, a very large percent of the student body. Eminent doctors and psychologists state that group participation (in this case vested in the support of school athletics) during adolescence promotes co-ordination that will be of unestimable value in future life. The support of such activities will likewise establish within the individual an ability of co-operation and participation in community projects with which everyone will at some time be connected. The use of opportunities offered during the adolescent stage shows int elligence; the a._.':eptance of those which are contained in activities that have no personal appeal or satisfaction shows far sightedness. Sincerely yours, Betty Jane Blackburne. Editor's Note: Letters with about 50 signa· tures have been received concern-e ing this topic and innumerable oral comments have been made to staff members. H. C. Mardis, principal said that only if study , rooms could be provided, could assemblies be voluntary. This would apply to all assemblies, but such an arrangement would be impossible in a school of this size. To the editor:

Grammar Is Key to World Peace According to L.H.S. Student Solution to world peace is grammar, according to Bob Chambers, senior. He puts this responsibility on the grammar teachers. "People are essentially alike and their customs do not vary so· much from each other but the ·· one outstanding difference between the peoples of the war Id lies in the language that they speak. This lies at the bottom of the whole thing and so our problem is to fuse 'the languages of the world together. They have tried other ways, for instance the inventing of a new language of which an ex- · ample is Esperanto, but these have failed because they have to be learned as a foreign language. They cannot just grow on a people. We must make a conscious effort to learn them and the people of the world seem unwilling to make this effort. They are too lazy and we cannot change them. No, we must fuse · the languages together slowly so that the people will not notice it. "Languages will fuse together
Foreign Pen Pals Prove Big Success Alice Wenzlaff, junior, hopes to be able to convince her pen pal, Madge Donaldson of Ireland, that there are no blackouts in America. In a letter to Alice, Madge writes, "I am fifteen and l go to the Limavady Academy. It has six forms, I, II, III and so on. I am in form IV and I go in for Junior Certificate in June. "Limavady is a small town with about 2,000 inhabitants; you wouldn't lose yourself in it. It means, 'The Leap of the Dog.' It · has a very interesting history." A town with a name like that could have a very interesting history. Alice thinks that she will learn more of its history in future letters. "I wonder do you have blackouts? I expect you will. We are rationed today and I'm not looking forward to it. "I live in the country and just behind my house is. a wood. In the summer time it is absolutely chocked full of bluebells with ferns growing thickly among them. Really, it looks lovely."
themselves if we let them. Live languages are always adopting each others words anyway. The main thing that holds the languages apart are the word order and the differences in grammar. They ,cannot !leem to give these up. T)iese barriers are artificial but seem to be quite strong. Who is holding up these artificial barriers, who is preventing languages from fusing together, who is keeping the people of the world from understanding each other, who is making it possible for dictators to plunge the world into war and chaos, who but the grammar teachers who force the language of nations into narrow boundaries and with the language, the minds of the nations into these sa'me narrow boundaries? Grammar teachers who are not only economically and politically ruining the world, but are throttling its artistic talent into the narrow limits of a narrow language; nar· row in proportion to what it might be. Grammar teachers, the ruin of the world is on your heads."

Would you like to cross the worlcl_ on a motoreycle? Robert Edison Fulton, Jr., did, and tells the story of his trip across Europe and Asia on a specially-fitted Douglas motorcycle in his book, "One Man Caravan." Across France, the Balkans, and Turkey he travelled, over the Syrian desert from Damascus to Bagdad. Later the author can• non-balled from Bombay to Cal· cutta. For two thousand miles he. 11 traversed the muddy interior of ) China. Then Japan and horn~ )c:./~< with but six blOw outs and ha"" ing run out of gas but once. · Fulton was attempting no stunt, He chose a motorcycle because walking or bicycling was too slow, and travel by car or train could not bring him into close contact with the people he desired to see. A most amusing incident occurred between Bulgaria aru:l Yugoslavia when the author was allowed to go into one country and his machine into the other, but neither into the same. His style in relating how he got out of "no-man's land" is entertaining. Lovers of travel fiction will fine! Mr. Fulton's humorous style delightful.
Students Reveal Interesting Vice Versa Styles What would Lincoln high students year if they were of the opposite sex? "I'd probably wear a shirt with the collar placed over a long sleeved sweater, dark corduroy pants and maybe a tie," said Jane Watkins. When asked if she would wear bright socks, Jane remarked that she would be inclined to be conservative. If Jack Frost were a girl, he could be seen walking around the school with silk hose and cubafl heels on. Jack prefers dark colored dresses, but if a skirt was necessary, he would choose a short flared one to be worn with a fluffy sweater. Jack wouldn't wear a hat unless it was essential. "Because it would be hard to get used to a dress, I would wear a purple and orange plaid . pair of slacks to school," stated· Bobby Miller. To complete this outfit, he would wear a loose .s hirt of a "conservative color like red." As for shoes, Bob said he prefered the saddle type of the shade to the darker side. In his hair, our smart senior, would wear a hair ribbon of baby blue to make his outfit complete.

Has 'Baby-Talking' \ 1'ea<:her Started Fad? )
Have you heard about the teacher who demonstrates what he wants his pupils to do? Well if you haven't you should be in Gilbert Rogers' second period Spanish 4 classes. Last Thursday Mr. Rogers wa s explaining the difference in the Castillian Spanish and the Spanish that was taught in Lincoln high. He said that the Castillians pronounce their. e's as s 's instead of the as we do in Lincoln high. He said that one day while he was teaching Mexicans he g ave a page number and· used th sound instead of the s. As a result all the pupils started to laugh. When they were asked what was funny they said they thought Mr. Rogers was talking "baby talk." If a new phase of "baby talking" starts going a round, you can give Mr. Rogers credit for it.

Attendance, Topic Of IOB Assembly.. Attendance was the topic of the third sophomore assembly held Tuesday, February 20. H. C. Mardis explained all the facts in the proper attendance of each student. He explained the _school provision for each child. Included in this were the books and equipment furnished by the school. Also compulsory attendance of each student was explained. Another factor in this assembly was the explanation of the conditions on which a school student m a y work, the hours he may work, the age he must be, or the hours he may work for his age.

The girl wrote that no Finnish woman between the ages of sixteen and _sixty may leave the country. Some men who are in Sweden who have sweethearts in Finland insist that they change places with them so that they can come to Sweden. "Mr. Roosevelt has been like a father to us and tried to be it to all nations, and the European countries are like bad boys who will fight in spite of what the Papa is saying," writes the girl. "I do not understand why on earth do they need to fight each other when we could have such a good time otherwise."
"Here in Stockholm all electric lights are on like they used to. In Finland all cities are dark a s night or as dark as the Negroes in darkness," relates the girl.
Invisible Suzybelle · Perplexes Students Some people are beginning to th ink that either they are going crazy or Betty Abbott is, be· cause it ~eems that Betty is going around acting as if she is holding something in her hand. Well, it's like this. Last summer sometime or other, Betty brought an invisible person to life, and named it Suzybelle. It so happened that Suzybelle went on a vacation and was forgotten until the other day, when we got word she was coming back and is going to stay forever. Now she and Betty say they are not going to go away from each other again.

Mr. Polley bought three primary colors and a brush and took his equipment to the basement, placing a small board in the vice on which to practice his painting. He mixed his colors with a putty knife. As subjects for his paintings Mr. Polly prefers landscapes. His first painting was of a mountain. At the bottom of the mountain is a small road. In all of Mr. Polley's

In regard to .questions on mod· ern furniture, Mr. Lotto explained that modern furniture is just simplified old styles, developed because of the demand for cheaper and sturdier structure. The modern can be made cheaper, because it takes less wood than the elaborately carved older styles and can also be made quicker.

Elva McFie Shows . How Individuality Is Expresl\Ed In Sewing. Encouragin~ girls to take up sew ing as a way of expressing their personality, Miss Elva Mc· Fie, art supervisor in Lincoln schools, spoke at the Girl Reserve meeting Monday. In her first topic, "A Girl and Her Clothes," Miss McFie stated that making and designing one's own clothes is not only practical and . lots of fun, but gives one a. wider variety in colors, styles and materials, besides a chance to express her own individuality."Don't have your clothes overpower you or accent your bad qualities, but have them bring out your good qualities," she advised. Miss McFie showed a gray wool jacket and a chic blalik spring coat, econqmically made from a. man's suit jacket and coat. Another interesting example was a quilted robe made from scraps of silk and rayon. "The individual makes or breaks 'the room," was the leading state· ment of her next topic, "A Girl and Her Room." "Put your personality into •your room," she said. In regard to ·the furnishings she warned, "Don't crowd the room; instead have your room give off a feeling of restful· ness and orderliness."

tracing
the history down thru the ages from the important events of today is becoming quite popular with her pupils. • A languid lizard holds forth in room 401 and gazes with the interest of a phsycoanalyst at the students attending Mrs. Gladys T emple's science classes. A description of the singular serpent includes his serene but ugly "pan" and his short legs which can ha-1ly touch the bottom of the pool water in the glass den where he lives. • • New guards and safety devices have been installed recently on the 'most dangerous of the power machines in the Lincoln high woodwork shop. Every precaution has been taken to prevent accidents. • "To be, or not to be: that is the question." Thus speaks Jack Kennedy in Miss . Bessie . Fisher's foL1rth period English 12 class. The class is reenac ting Shakespeare's the na~e l~ad. Chairs are - tu;·ned around and the whole class is · on edge as each breathlessly waits his turn to demonstrate his actin,, ability. " • Ray Boehmer was elected president of the third period Monday, Wednesday and Friday chorus class of 80 voices directed by Miss Helen Stowell. Connie De Claris is vice president; Barbara Duncan, secretary; Ione Lipps, editor; Don Payne, librarian, and Eugenia Simms, accompanist. • Jane Newman was elected president of Miss Helen Stowell's second period, Tuesday and Thursday chorus class. George Lyberis was chosen vice president; Patricia Riddle, secretary ; Jean Bryant, reporter, and Dorothy Tilton, pianist. • Effect the present foreign situation has had on the cultural side of European countries was the topic discussed in Mrs. Bernice Tebbets' second period French 3 class. Several members of the class decided to buy subscriptfons to "Le Petit Journal," a French newspaper published in New York City, New York. • A mattress made of sponge that can be cleaned by pouring water into the holes on the bottom side and letting it run slowly thru the mattress, and drip out the right side was shown to the girls in hygiene classes last week. Miss Ethel Murray, the instructor, said these mattresses cost around $60 apiece. A glass brick, which is the latest material for building, was also shown. • Comparison of the state capitol and one large pyramid in Egypt, was proved to Ralph Hansen's second period modern history class. After a little hasty figuring the area of the pyramid was approximately three and one-half times larger than the area of the capitol, and about 100 feet higher. These a re the results of several pupils' mathematical ability and not scientific measurements.
Initiation of new members- into the Mimes was the important event in the meeting Thursday, February 15. The new members, fifteen boys, for their initiation dramatized fairy tales including "Red Riding Hood," "Cinderella," "Little Miss Muffet" and the "Three Little Pigs ." An announcement regarding Joy Night and the naming of the committee for the next meeting completed the meeting. The committee is made up of the following: Marian Coombs. chairman, John Conkling, Lowell Anderson, Lucia Ann Hassler, Bob Jones, Virginia McDonald, John Dishman and Charles _Taylor.
Babcock Explains Symbols to Club Using the Hi-Y emblem, the tri• angle, which he called the most ancient of all symbols, as the foundation for his talk, Dale L. Babcock spoke before the Hi-Y at the clubs' meeting January 6 on symbolism. "Throughout all antiquity, to both Pagan and Christian religions, the triangle has been a holy symbol, signifying morality and perfection," Mr. Babcock stated. The crusaders of the Middle Ages, true to their chivalrous be· liefs, W'Jre the cross, a derivation of the triangle, as a sign of their willingness to accept Christian martyrdom, the speaker said. Mr. Babcock also touched b1·iefly on the relation between sex and religion. Frank O'Connell reported that two acts would be sponsored for Joy Night.

Wilkinson Boys Garner 25 Points; Game Marred By Disagreement
Jumping into the lead at the beginning of the game, a lead which it never relinquished, Coach Beechner's improved Lincoln high basketball squad revenged a 50-28 pasting administered early in the season/ by thumping Omaha Tech in a clurt battle on Whittier floor Saturday night, Feb. 17. Playing before a crowd that filled the bleachers, Lincoln looked good in outclassing the strong Tech squad. Floyd and Ray Wilkinson, Lincoln high's brother combination, who have led the Li~ks in its strong comebac~were again the two main offens~e cogs in Lincoln's now formidable quintet. Floyd hit the hoop for 14- points While Ray rang up a total of ·11. The clash between the two Missouri Valley members was marred only by a disagreement between Sammy Vacanti, fiery Tech guard, and Floyd Wilkinson of the Red and Black squad. Both players were ejected from the game midw ay in the fourth quarter. By defeating Tech, Lincoln climbed into third position in the Missouri Valley conference race. The only Links to make field goals beside the Wilkinson boys were King and Campbell. The Wilkinson boys in scoring 25 of Lincoln's 31 points also played an outstanding floor game. Tech's main cogs were Vacanti, Young and Brown.

New Basketball Contact Made With Falls City
•
Coach Beechner announced Thursday the signing of . a twoyear home and home basketball contract with Palls City. The Red and Black squad will journey to Falls City March 1. Falls City will come to Lincoln, February 28, 1941, for a game on Lincoln's maples. After contactine- about twelve schools for a game March 1, Beechner announced that McCook declined an offer because of its heavy schedule. Falls City was seen in action here a few weeks ago when it went down in defeat at the hands of Jackson. Until that defeat it was ranked third best team in the state by the news:papers and last year wort the class . "A" championhip.
Track Hopefuls On Injury List Among the hopefuls for the 1940 Lincoln high track team are Bob Leonard, an up and corning high hurdler who is laid up with a sprained back at the present but is expected to be back with the team soon; Bill Pierson, one oi the fastest low-hurdlers Lincoln has seen for some time; Melvin Johnson and Max Fensler, who are quickly developing into fast and untir· ing quarter milers. In the half-mile, Turney Sharrar and Herman Greenwalt carry the honors; while in the mile, Charles Porter, Ed Brownson, and Bill Cook are becoming an unbeatable three. In the field events, Howard Debus will enter in the shot-put, discus-throw, pole-vault and javelin-throw. Demorest Cole and Jim Johnson are up and coming hopefuls in the pole vault, although Johnson has a bad ankle at the present. Jom Cradit will probably be the leading high jumper. Bill Pierson, Wilber Lebsock and Reipald Murray are the main broad jumpers.

Iron Man's Club Organize at 'Y' The Iron Man's club of the Lincoln Y . M. C. A . is the first of its kind here in Lincoln. Its members, many of whom are in Lincoln high, work out three times a week systematically with weights. According to Jack Sampson, the instructor, who is the A. A. U. champion for his weight, gains in body weight of ten up to fifteen pounds within a three month period of training are not unusual. Paul Arthaud, Harold Harvey, Paul Musser, Bruce Allen, Don Labovitz, Norman Walker, and Ray Boehmer are now training for the Midwestern A. A. U. weight lifting championship to be held in early M?-Y· This club has gone far in disproving the opinions of persons who contend that weight t raining and the sport of weight lifting makes one muscle bound. These boys have been using weights to enable them to be better in such sports as football, track, swimming and wrestling.
lfter School League Has Three Way Tie
the first score didn't come till about thre·e minutes had gone by. Lincoln scored first , but after the first quarter Waverly led practically all the rest of the game .

to tie the count. Bob True had a chance to break a 19 all tie with but five seconds to go, but failed. Then in the extra period Keith Kyles dunked in the winning basket.
Kyles and Mocroft were the whole show making all of Waverly's points while Lincoln's scoring was quite evenly divided. Wilson and True were the only two who managed to make more than one basket. They each made two. Waverly Kyles t Mocroft f Smith c Pierce g

State Swim Meet Mav Be Revived of
A plan to re~ve the now nearly dead state higl school swimming meet, is explailed by Pete Hagelin, ex-links, 1\ebraska university swimming ·coa<h and director of the state meet 1et for March 16. No state meel_was held last year because Omala Tech withdrew after 11 membe-s of the team were disqualified f or swimming with the Omaha atiletic club outside of prep compettion. Beatrice and Lincoln, the oily other entrants, felt there woulc be no true victory for either of tiem if they met again in a stae meet; therefore the state meet 1as called off. Hagelin wans to run the state meet in t wo di'isions, one for t he stronger team1 and the other for individuals frm smalier towns. In this way eeryone will be assured of as ne.r a fair chance as possible. ' Coach Hagtln says t here can be no revivafof the state meet unless everyoe works for it. He suggests tha schools without pools work ou at the Y. M. C. A., pools a s Nebr ska university used to, and enter i. t he state meet.
Cliff Wilson after a successful season of resrve basketball, will be out for trak this spring. Cliff, who is a har• worker and is always in tra1ing, has a good chance to ma~ the first team. He will speciaJiz,i in the 440 and dashes.

The highly argumented battle of centers, between Floyd .Willti.11son and Winter, failed to materialize as Floyd was completely baffled by Waldo's origin!j.l and effective style. "Slats" was one· of the best prep ball handlers ever to plant his canvas covered feet ·On the . coliseum court. He worked well in every depart ment and held center Wilkinson to one basket all night. Links Score F irst. Although Lincoln high made t he first point, and held a three point lead at the· end of three minutes, it failed to hold the lead, where it counts, at the end of the fray; and seldom held the upper hand all g a me t ime. Jackson "went down under" w ith a half-tim e lead of 11-8 and coming up, never relinquished the lead that it struggled so hard to maintain in the first half. Twirlers Perform at Half. Five dancer-twirlers from Jackson high school; Mona Van Camp, Marylouise Blish, Carol Martin, Peggy Lemon and Aloha. Gist, :provided half of the entertainment during the h alf time. They were dressed in white satin uniforms, with gold braid, drummajor hats and white boots. Their act consisted of tap-dancing and twirling to the music of t he J ackson high school band. The game did not live up to the expectations of the 2,500 odd spectators, although the Links never gave u p and were r_apidly closing the gap as the game ended. Jackson Too Hot for Links. Lincoln, had it displayed the brand of ball tha~ beat York, . would probably have brought the laurels back to L. H . S., but J ackson and Winter proved much too effective for the baffled Links, Paul Hyland displayed the best defensive floor game of either team as time after time he w9uld 1-teal the ball from a basket bound Cardinal. He was ably aided by Ray and Floyd Wilkin!)on. Floyd, trying to hold down Winter, fouled out and was closely followed by Brother R ay via the s ame route. Harvey Lauer, improving with every game, was- h igh for Lincoln with seven points · and put up a good defensive battle. Winter, Powell Best. For Jackson it was, of cou rse, Winter, Powell and Vince Cutshall '•'h<> disi>layed t he ability to down Lin coln.

Dude Ranch Is Theme Chosen for Joy Night Jo.y Night season is here again, and the air has been charged with expectancy and filled with wonder at what the theme will be this year. In '37 a Swiss Inn was the setting, in '38 a Hawaiian atmosphere wa$ created and last year the Latin Quarter of Paris was brought to life in Lincoln high's auditorium. This year a Dude Ranch near the Mexican border will be "it." Miss Helen Dunlap, chairman of the faculty committee, said that approximately fifty try-out applications had been received. This is an unusually large number, as approximately only thirty-five tried out last year. Probably more were received this year than last because the theme gives more pupils a chance to put on an act and no need for special costumes will be present. Try-outs will be held . tonight and tomorrow night. The more acts, ·the merrier.

Eight-Year Old Correspondence Course Discloses Another Letter From England "Lots of love a nd happiness for t he coming year- and peace" are the closing words of a letter writ· ten to Miss Helen Bauer of Lincoln by Miss Ruth Brown of Liverpool, Eng la nd, a · correspondence w hich dates back a bout eight years w hen addresses were excha nged in E ng· lish . classes at Lincoln high school. A lthough the war has slowed up delivery considerably, the mail still goes through. Miss Brown has . t wo brothers w ho were in t he Royal Guard ; they are both in the w a r n ow. The younge r of the two- has r ecently been promot ed to Lance Corporal. "The snow here is about five feet· high and everyone is enjoying himself very much. There is quite a lot of skating going on. You wouldhar dly know that there is a w ar but for t he knitting which is being done an dthe uniforms decorating all the theaters a nd the da nce halls," quoting f r om ~he le tter . The E ng lish have been rationed with a few such things as butter, sugar a nd meat. " I w as nevr fond of m eat so I won't miss at at a ll. The only t hing that will worry me is t h e b utter. It w ill be awful if they decide to ration stockings like th~y are doin g in German y , but ifs ha rdly likely," w rites Miss Brown. Ther e h as also been a rationing of paper . The people have t o sig n for n ewspapers t o save unnecess ary was te. T he p eople depend on
the radio or "wireless' as they -::all it, for their news. Americ:an programs relayed t o them seem t o be among t heir favorit es. Miss Brown states t h at they are greatly amused at the propagan da program, German "The announcer w hom w e call Lord Haw-Haw· is supposed to have a n Oxfor d a ccent, but he is probably anoth er _h ouse painter." At the beginning of the war the Eng lish people t hought it was only the German government t hey we re fighting , bu t now they ~re con· vinced it is the German people as well. The Can adian soldier s ha ve arr ived and brought with t hem a popular song of the day, "Roll Out the Barrel." Two n ew war son gs, which a re s ung by everyone, have ·been composed; they a re "Remem· ber" and "Somewhe1·e in F r an ce With You." The people a muse them selves by going to the movies, for, if they couldn't enjoy t h em selves at the movies, they would be very low spirited. The people seem bitter when they see the young " chaps" leave a rid not k now ing if they w ill ever come back. A ccording to Miss Brown the English delight in ridiculing Hitler; they ref er to h im as " Old N ast y." After any event or party the people sing "God Save t he King " a nd give three cheers for t he army, with a lot of unearthly sound s intended for Hitler.

'Remember Me' Pleads For Better Trea.tment "Remember me?" It's your waste paper eon• 'ainer having his little say. At times he's been oft-neglected and it just doesn't seem fair. The "Remember ·m e" basket is ther e for the purpose of taking care· of all waste paper, g um, and other discarded articles, and it looks as though he's been punished awfully lately. He's all bent up and on occasions gets pulled right out into the eorridors. Evidently, some students have the wrong· impression and think tha t "Remember me" is a. t arget or something else to throw at. "Remember me" has asked the Advocate to let you all know that he Is very sensitive and likes to look neat like the rest of us. In the cafeteria, there are a few bad pupils who like to annoy "Remember me." It would be better if these pupils walked up to their dear little friend and discarded l.heir lunch paper properly. Little "Remember m e" also declared, "All my cousins around town feel the same way about it, 10 please be kind to them and save a lot of work which others would have to d o." "Remember me" has served Lincoln high for quite a while now, ·so let's be fair and r eward him for his fine service to our school.
Youth Reveals Problems In Recent Questionnaire Although there have been alarming statements m ade about the younger generation , a recent ques tionnaire in dicates youth's p i·oblems are not those which adults feel are major issu es. Five points, according to Haydn S. Pearson, writing for the Christian Science Monitor, w ere broug ht out frequently in this cross section of a secondary school. Being interrupted n eedlessly when studying, playing or working was the main objection. Since it is important that youth learns to concent rate, the objection is justified. Failure of p arents to give serious con sideration to youth's opinions and ideas was point number two. Honest conside ration to expanding thoughts would .relieve many a situation . Pupils desire improved studying facilitiel!I a nd wish parents wouldn't thoughtlessly e mbarrass . them. Lastly, stude nts w ant be tter family spirit, and in general to have good times a s a family group. Due to the fad a dults are preoccupied with many worthy a nd necessary projects, children have been neglected; but in times wh ich are tense and impredictable, youth deserves a part of parents• ll!MU'Jie1 a nd time in recreation, litud1 and pla,y.

He hopes to get a.job for about "$4,000 a year back East," and
failing that he will quit tha world and join the army. He t hinks the younger generation is going to the dogs; his favorite song is "In the Mood," and he is president ot the student council. John Provost, senior, leaned nonchalantly back in h is chair and began to speak, "I'm probably no angel," he said, "but there are a lot of things done that I don't do." Quoting E merson, the blond, curly-haired president said, "When ·'*' duty whispers. 'Lo t hou must,' Youth replies, 'I can.'" This, he thinks accurately covers the modern-day situation. Youth may be "going to the dogs" but when something difficult comes along t he reply is, "I can." The Scotch in him came out a.s

Covers Seppala, A laskan Dog Driver.
Autobiography and biography are combined in " Seppala, Alaskan Dog Driver," by Elizabeth Rick· er. A definite plot makes it s appearance, and holds · the reader's interest until the very last of its absorbing pages. Brought up in a fishing village on a'.1 island off the coast of Nor· way, where for countless generations his forebears had wrung their living from the sea, Leonard Seppala experienced the hardships and hazards of a fisherman's son at the tender age of nine. Unlike American boys, Leonard was considered a "man" by hi• father at eight, and at nine, he was wedded to t he sea. Still a boy, he t ook the long, tedious trek to America like his famous forebears, the Norsemen. The Yukon called him, and thru the days of the Gold Rush he turned his willing and capable hands ~ a hundred and two dif· ferent jobs. Dogs fascinated Seppala, and his
he moaned, "I paid $3 for a fishing license, but didn't catch a thing while I wa.e in Minnesota this summer." Besides fishing, while in Minneaota John also did a lot of 8erf riding and "jitterbugging.'' In regard t o " jitterbug" dancing John said, " It's all right if it isn't indulged in too much and is done a t the proper place." However, he doesn't like it as well as just dancing because one tires too much. Having recently com e from the matinee part y and "twirling to" "In the Mood," John puffed, "Yes, my favorite song is 'In the Mood.'" If a girl is going t6 click with this lad she must have good manners, be· a good dancer, not be af· fected, jolly, and be a cute dresser. Any pr eference to blondes and brunettes? It makes no difference
as long as "the hair is pretty and has a nice face to go with it." Sticking to the old favori te of our fa thers, J ohn licked })is lips and said, "Chocolate. ice-crea m hum ! And root beer milkshakes, Hum! Hum !" They seem to be his main substa nce list ening to t he boy. "Porkroa st is okay, too; the way my Mother fixes it," the st u•dent council president admitted. In conclusion, John said, "In comparison with a good m any schools a round the counrt y, we rate very high. '.'There are a good many things that we, a nd the student council members, do and a good many hours of work put in for the .g ood of the entire school that the students do not realize." So here's a t ip to you , the student body. Sla p the old boy on the back now and then and cheer him a long.
Young Motorists Involved in 12.5o/o Of Accidents
Leap Year Lover Of Old Had Law To Back Offer
"Twelve and one-half percent of the drivers involved in automobile a ccidents on t he highway in Oc· tober, 1939, were of high school age," stated Captain Weller of th& Nebraska state highway patrol. "These drivers should ~ l ne best. They have the advantages of a better eyesight. " iuore .a lert mind anrl ~ oetter knowledge of tr.:.rLlC laws.'' He continued to say that the majority of these a ccidents were caused by a f ailur e to exercise good judgment. I n 1938 t here were 210 traffic fatalities in Nebraska out of 3,740 reported accidents, while in 1939 there are 3.686 reported a cidents with 249 deaths resulting, t o date. The captain remarked that the increase in deat hs was undoubtedly due to an increase in highway traffic. "Our· survey shows t hat reck· less or careless driving is the most common violation ," said Captain W eller .

Wear Anything, Girls ; But Make It Crazy As grandparents shake their heads and say, "What is the young er g en er a.tion c o m i n g to? ", high school clothes fashions proceed to get a little more far fetched every day. It was about 1938 when clothes began to go a bit to the "screwy" side.. Girls suddenly started wearing shirt.I with the signatures of all their f r iends em broidered on them. Along with them came the beanies, those ha ts t hat were a lmost microscopic in size. A little later came t he charm bracelets with everything from a s ilk hat t o an ironing boa rd att ached . Last Christmas it was ver y fashionable to wear bells, t he more t he merrier. At p resent, any gadget is considered "cute" just so lon g as it is the on ly one t o be found in ·t he school.
Lincoln High Small Town With Many Characteristics Whether you realize }t or not, Lincoln high is r eally a small town, with the pupils a nd faculty t he r esidents a nd city officials. Now when you t hink of a town, you naturally think of the main street. Lincoln high _h as its main st reet , "The coridor run ning from east to west past t he clock presented by "class of '13.'' Every m a in street h as cert ain cha racteristics . and no matter how large or small t hey appear to be, they make up t he personality of the town. On the Il:\ain sireet , over the constantly banging doors Of the audi· torium are t he fahta!'tic posters advertising coming plays (brown envelop, dagger and Chinaman) ; t he · bulletin board where ·boys stop and pretend t o be interested while t hey wait for their _girl friend to catch u p with them {or vice versa ); the long "waiting line" by the telephone in t he office, and the trophy ca.ses where the boys gather a round for t he eter nal "session." There :is t he abundant waste paper on t he floor, in spit e of the s uggestive writing on the sides of t he waste baskets. (One wonders it a target should not . be put behind t hem, and the inscription "If at first you dQn't succeed, try, t ry again," p ut on :in g'Old letters ). Then there i8 the beautiful ma rble steps a nd pillars which w as put in in spite of t he fact that there was a protest, "Marble i11 too good for just kids." These ch a racteristics help to inake up the personality of our little "town ," but t he gratif ying note of t he whole t hing is that when any Li-ncoln high student is a;;ked, "Are you proud of your 'town'?" the answer is a.lmost invariably, "You're dar n t ootin'."
Many Interesting Exhibits Comprise Coin Collection "Can y ou imagine dollar biHs al most as big as note book pa per ? " A ccording to Envin Landegren bookroom a ttendant, there were such bills and, he added, two of these bills in h is eohi collection are dated 1886. Asked about li<>llle of h is other valuable coins Mr. L andegren cont inu ed, "I have a h a lf dollar dated 1918 with Illinois Exposition en· graved on it; not many of these were made.

Caddying Takes Education Not Taught in Schools During all seasons of the year t here a re a number of Lincoln high s tudents w ho make caddying their occupation and hobby. Although the compensa tion for their service• is comparatively low, t h ese sun brqwned boys lug bags t hrough all weather , not for the money alone, ·but for the experience which on ly a. caddy can get through direct contact w ith the game. L a st summer a group of these boys hiked to Beatrice, Nebraska, to work at the state tournament. During th.,\r s:t.ay. nf a b o ut a w eek,
they . had quite a. fast time of it. Ca ddying during t he day and s hows, dances during the night. From Beatr ice the party expected to take in the National Open and t he Trans ·Mississippi tournaments which w ere to be held in other states. But at the end of the week all w ere broke so only one thing remained to do. Home they came w ith memories that will live forever. Tournaments are the joy of any eandy. The wr ite-ups in the pa pe rs, new personalities, and t he t hrill of pulling for the man whose fate somet imes rest s in t he palm of his caddy's lland. Many is t he time when t he iron m en of golf, with their years Of experience have turned taut with pressure for some advice and condolence to the youth w ith his bag. Although sorne people may t hink caddying is simple and un· skilled labor the fact is it takes m ore education t h an high school can furnish.

American Legion l!tands tor, Sam Reynolds spoke a.t the group A assemby, Wednesday, February ~1. 011car Bennett, of Wesleyan ll11iversity, o.pened the program by singing ~wo war songs, "Time for Making Songs Has Come" by Rogers and "Au J>ayn'' by Holmes. For an encore he sang the nur&el'y rhyme, "Sing A Song of Sixpence." Country Worth Defending. "The legion believes in peace \hrough preparedness," said Mr. Reynolds. "The boys who went to war twenty-one years ago learned many things," he said, "but. probably the most important of wbat they learned was that if their country was worth de.fending three thousand miles away, it is worth defending at home." Mr. Reynolds went on t:o tell how thousands of American boys would be here t-0day, if they had gone across the seas prepared for what was ahead of them. Many of them did not even know how to handle a rifle. "lit is an organization to prevent t+ie disaster from happening &gain, 110 that thefr sons, if they have to fight, will fight prepared. That is what the American Legion .8toanda :for," he e-xplained. War· 11 Not Fun.
..We .o f the American Legion don't think it's fun t-0 go to war/' aaid Mr. Reynolds. "We lived in the mud, filth and horrors of war, 'but we believe that we have S-Omeiiling worthwhile to defend and preparedness is the best way." Mr. Reynolds closed his speech 'by honoring George Washington 1aying, "We do not honor G€orge Washington because he was a great e-0ldier or a great statesman, but because of the fine heritage he 1Eft lor you b-Oy11 and girls today."

Blankenship, as the announcer, all gave fine preformances. With the actors in the adjoining room and a counterfeit _radio in front of the club, the play achieved realistic effects. This type of a program for club meetings is rather new and proved very st1ccessful. The business part of the meeting consisted of the voting of a sketch for Joy Night. Two plays "tere presented, one read by Jayne Lynn, and the other by J a.nice Ma~x. The 24 new members- were also introduced to the club.
Teacher Turns Tables On Amazed Students By turning the tables on her fifth period geometry class, Miss · Ruth Hall demonstrated her ability to act the part of a nitwit pupil. A member of the class was chosen as teacher and Miss Hall was said nitwit. Things went merrily along until some "unfortunate" dropped a pencil. When the "nitwit" (Miss Hall in disguise) kicked it, laughs were as long as smiles were wide. However, peace was soon resumed and Miss Hall went back to her task of teaching some thirty odd pupils why two lines were propor· ti on al.

If one's history teacher forsakes history for mathematics, it may not be entirely becaurse he wishes to broaden his knowledge in the field of mathe· matics. If one's English instructor spends his spare time brushing up on his multiplication table, it may be that he contemplates spending the remainder of his life studying Einstein's "Theory of Relativity," but probab ly there is a greater reason. For a new law, passed last year, specified that all persons engaged in the teaching profession, receiving over a certain salary, should . pay a federal in· come tax, and the date for th is tax return to be filed is March 15. Although there is no state income tax in Nebraska, .. 11 •inmarried persons making $1,00o or over or married persons making $2,500 or more, must file a federal income tax return.

"Ide" and "Ate;" Very Important to Chemist "Ide" and "ate" are just word endings to some persons, but to a chemist they mean a great deal, as was shown quite violently to the members of a chemistry 2 class recently. An experiment called for sodium chloride which when mixed with sulphuric acid produces hydr oeloric acid gas, but an unsuspecting student made a mistake and t ook sodium chlorate. When the sodium chlorate became mixed with the acid an unstable substance was formed which decomposed into two gases causing a deafening explosion. Although no casualties and . little property damage was reported, the explosion will be remembered whenever 'the endings "ide" and "ate" are discussed.

RESERVES FINISH BY DRUBBING TECH
The Lincoln reserves wound up a. successful season last Thursday afternoon at the Irving gym by downing a scrappy Tick Tack Tech outfit to the_tempo of 28-17.-Tech scored first but the ReBerves slowly forged ahead to have an 8-5 advantage at the . end of the first quarter. Then, using a dazzling burst of buckets, the seconds garnered a halftime lead of 18-8. Hindered by a court of icy-slickness, neither team showed much ability in floor-play, although · the Reserves had far the better passing attack, with Tech's passea often going wild. For the reserves, Abbie Klein and Ed Hall provided the · necessary ·scoring punch, while the "law of averages" caught up with Dick Chapin who connected for 8 points. Abbie Klein was high point man of the game with four baskets and three gratis heaves for a total of eleven points. Summary: T~incnln

After all these years, the blackboard in the girls gymnasium has been removed from what we thought, was its eternal resting place. Fond memories come to-us when we think of how we strained our eyes to figure out what Miss Grace Morgan and Miss Lillian Story were drawing on it. Awakened from a trance one day, the greatest shock we had ever received was when a: teacher was drawing (between the cracks and holes, oi course) a diagram on this antique and we heard her speak of love. What's this, was our inaudible thought. But it was only tennis she was talking about. Everyone h "P"'" mat before spring sports start, a new black· board will make its appearance. And then when (we wonder when) it comes, there might even be a blackboard warming, according to Miss Story. Now, not ori1y have the captains been chosen, but also the teams for the interclass bask.etball tournament. The members are:
Jean Franklin Fern FrE!eman
A.rdyce Kargo, Captain 3h1rley Brigham Bobbette Burke Bet ty Coulter Betty Jean Franklin: Lucia Ann Hassler Leatrice Meskil Alice Louis e Putney Maxine Sheldon Harriet Turner Marian Weber Lois Wilkinson Eunice Blatny, coach SENIORS. · Jane .Johnson , captain Frances Diet ze Kathryn Galloway Merriam Mann Annajea n Ra:v Ruthann Rob ertson
J ean Schleuning Donna Jean Hall Emma Schneider A lberta (Betty) J oyce Smith McLeod A1ta Bussear Betty Logan • Verna. Mae Scha!fE!r Helen Goodman, coach Stella Specht Jean Whedon Ma,ry Jean Westcott, coach
Coaching the teams a:re the cadets from the university. The tournament began Monday, February 26, and will end on Wednesday, March 13. It will be a double round - robin t ournament which means that every team will play every other team twic• Simple explanation, isn't it? The games will be officiated by the coaches. ·The schedul_e for the games is posted in the girls gymnasium. Come out and .see these games. They should be int eresting, especially when the lOB's play the seniors! Every member of the squad must attend every scheduled game to qualify for an emblem or letter. Those who were not chosen on the squads may still attend practices an_d games to make enough times present so as to earn some credit. Some girls must be getting spring fever already for we hear that Stella Mae Specht, Marjorie Heuser, Patricia Blood and Mary Beth "Red" Miller, juniors, are planning to go out for Miss Lillian Story's baseball team. Stella, after having played a year on the Earl Woods baseball team and last spring on Lincoln high's baseball team, should be able to handle the pitch ing duties. "Red" _is a consistent hitter and and A-1 first baseman. Marge and Pat can well fit the duties of catcher and left fielder, respectively. If any one else wants to get on the team, just let Miss Story know.
Slides Illustrate "How to Study" Featured by the use of illustrated slides, in the sophomore assembly of . Tuesday, February 27, was an explanation of "How to Study." H . C. Mardis had gathered tog·ether material on studying and had it illustrated. Explained in this_ we1·e such facts as the. time to study. Each student should have a certain time every evening in ·which to study and also a quiet place to study where no one will disturb him. The student should also have h is time scheduled so as to have a definite time for sleep and also eating. Illustrated slides are rather a new idea to Lincoln high and made the assembly more interesting.

Morrill Hall Gallery, Will House Work of Famous Painters Collected by Kirsch Opportunity to see one of the finest and largest arts exhibitions ever to be shown in Lincoln is given pupils of Lincoln high at Morrill hall until March 25. Tuesday, March 5, all pupils of art classes were permitted ·to go, accompanied by Miss Helen Wil11on and Miss Gladys Dana, teachers. Fifteen Galleries Contribute Collected by Dwight Kirsch, chairman of the University department of fine arts, from fifteen noted art galleries in New York, the collection is sprinkled with 11uch famous works as 'Dempsey and Firpo' by the late George Bellows, the full life portrait of Katherine Cornell, and the Grant Wood painting, 'Arnold comes of age'," explained Miss Elva McFie, supervisor of art in Lincoln schools who arranges for school groups to attend. The exhibition shown by the Nebraska art association merged with the art department of the university, is showing more than 170 pieces, ranging from portraits to water color, and from sculpture to casts. Plans .f or Future "In time the Nebraska association hopes to have its collection, originating from the H a ll contributions, separated from that of the university and to ha ve its own building," explained Miss McFie. Because the board of education p ays a fee to the art association, pupils in schools are allowed to visit the exhibition in groups.

Jr. Hi-Y Explores Mysterious Tunnels Underneath the Halls of Lincoln High Winding their way beneath the high school through long and narrow passageways was the experience of tt1e Junior Hi-Y chapter Wednesday, February 28. Meeting at the Hi-Y . building, they a ll joined togeth er at the high school in the custodian's office and Iva.n F. Edison led the group through the different passageways. First stop was the swimming pool system where the water is constantly running in and out and heated to the r ight temperature and is also checked four times a day. Mr. Edison next explained how the air is circulated in the school. The air is drawn from t he outside by fans which are located ar.ound the school and drawn in and washed by tiny fine sprays of water which take all the dirt out-. Mr. Edison said it was surprising h ow much dirt is collected during this process. Everything is kept surprisingly clean and spotless throughout the whole system and it is kept in perfect working order. Next the group was shown the tunnels made of brick which are practically square and very low in some places which carry all the s tea m to the radiators a nd the m ain tunnel connecting the boile!' room with 'the high school. Mr. Edison stated that all these passageways lead to the different
rooms and when the lights are off it is easy to become lost. In the boiler room, built away from the high school so as to make an explosion or accident unable to effect the school itself, .one notices how huge the f urnaces are. It takes a pproximately 15 to 18 tons of coal a day to heat the high s ch ool in the winter and at the present time there are 60 tons of coal on hand. The fur nace is cleaned out once every summer by hand as it takes about one week for the furnaces to cool off. During the day it is one man's job to do nothing but feed coal to the every hungry m ouths of the furnace. The fire is banked at night and is built up again about four o"clock in the morning. On one side of the walls are automatic graphs showing how much heat goes up the chimney and how even the heat keeps every day. After returning from the heating pla nt, everyone went to the attic located on fourth floor where Mr. Edison showed the t wentyseven fans which blow the stale a ir outside. From the attic the boys went to t he roof and there they saw t he air ducts from w hich the old a ir is drawn. Many classes are shown through the building, physiology classes especially. Seeing this elaborate system is part of an education itself and is well worth anyone's time.
in the student council meeting Wednesday. J oh n Provost, president, reminded m embers that prompt pennants should be put up each F r iday evening, without failure and said, further, that this system of puttihg the number of tardinesses on the blackboards in each home room had greatly decreased the number of tardinesses. Time sheets for the new semester were started and a few student council members had to compute the number of hours spent in work again because the original time sheets of last semester were misplaced. The chairmen of com• mittees w ere reminded to hand in their reports each week.

That parents of half <1 dozen Tampa, Florida, high school youths were . perturbed when their bewildered offspring came home with hair sets, permanent waves, henna rinses, and other products of Milady's beauty parlor is to say the least. Think what the parents of Lincoln high students would do if "Buddy" King had a henna rinse, Bobby Weygint <1 wave set, or Elmer Kehm a permanent wave. Said C. Phil Peters, principal of Plant high school, where the deeds were done, "What boys do to their hair with the permission of their parents is outside my jurisdiction. It seems silly but I hope they never do anyth i r. g worse." We wcnder who will be first in Lincoln high, to venture within 'the walls of a beauty parlor for his sartorial dressing, in piace of the old-fashioned barber shop where the twicetold tales are heard.

Colleges Change Entrance Tests A constant change has been coming over the college entrance examinations dur ing the last two or three years, according to Miss J essie B . J ury, college. entrance adviser. This change, which concerns the type of examinations to be given for entrance, is decidedly for the better. The examinations now stress comprehension of the subject as a whole, not particular points, as the old system did. The college examinations formerly required a very particular knowledge of the subject before entrance, based on specific assigned work. Languages and mathematics are particularly affected by the requirement of more comprehensive rather than restr icted knowledge. Although almost all large schools are affected, Annapolis and V.1est Point still maintain the traditional type of test. Many schools use the tests f or placement of a pplica nts according to ability and preparation.
Faculty judges were David Sell, Hugh Rangeler, O. W. Hackman and C. E. Evans and the Misses Helen Dunlap, Marguerite Gunder• mann, Elsie Rokahr, Lillian Monia, Helen Stowell, Lillian Story, Annetta Sprung, Olivia Pound, Grace Morgan and Marjorie Tye. Student judges are Mary Lou Holtz, Con• nie MCcauley, Emma Seifert, Mary Jo Latsch, Nancy Green, Betty Lee Cronn, John Provost, Robert Schaufelberger, Don Meyer C.nd Turney Sharrar, as well as Al-:lis Lyman, Roxana Brown, Gil· bert Ryder an<'. Paul Toren, members 'lf the central student com• mittee. Call girls were Virginia Ford and Dor'.>thy Ca:nahan; stage hands, Eoward H~ll and John Eberhardt, a.nd tjme keeper, John Safford. Bryce Alberty is head of advertising. Profits from this year's Jo: Night will be used for the ne\1 sound system.

Time marches on in one sense, but in .anotter it has never walked a step. In an editorial on class spiri:, the Advocate of '16 says, "fhe student who sticks to his smaller groups and limits himself to his own narrow ideas, misses the best part of school life, the broadening of his acquaintanceship and the development of qualities that mean success."

Sound System Situations Have Great Promise Soon a s ound system will become a definite part of t he school.

In the first place, a sound system will allow great possibilities for training young h opefu l r a dio announcers.

Chief Anderson Gives W aniing to Bicyclists Warning was given by Chief Anderson, of the Lincoln police force, that as soon as streets become less hazardous the new bicycle laws would be put into effect. Many Lincoln high students 9hould be affected by ihis warning. As yet there are some students who have not obtained their new licenses. Approximately seventy-five· per cent have their licenses and the remaining twenty-five per cent do not. The cost ls relatively small and there is a personal satisfaction in knowing tliat you are on the right side of the law. Don't be one of the last who must dash down to the pol ice station and get a license. Something might happen and walking to school for the next week or so might not be so very enjoyable.
G'lr'l Reserves Hear M)'Ta Colberg, Ruth Vance, Betty Gage. J.,s a :re1n:llt of hobby question-
nmea given 1o all Girl Reserves members, t:hree girls, Ruth Vance, :Myra Colberg, and Be- t t y Gage, were chosen t-0 display and discuss
tihetr hobby .collections at the Girl Jteserve meeting March 4. Oddities in Ruth Vance's collec· Wolll were two elephants from ]ndia, both hand-carved. One, al· most microscopic in size, was carved from ivory. The other, whittled from sandlewood, had a atrange oriental scent. Her other two ooUections were napkins, 90 1n altl, which she had classified in ten divisions, E ast er, Christmas, etc., and framed pictures. Girls Shows European Dolls. :M.yra Colberg, who recently eame :l!rom England, delighted the girls with her charming English accent as she e~plained her foreign doll collection, bought during a European cruise in 1928. Her collection consisted of dolls in their native garb from Germany, Denmark, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Hungaria, Switzerland, ;Egypt and Great Britain. Interesting point in this display was the tall Finnish doll, which 11he explained, "The Finns are tall so they make their dolls tall," the highly decorated Spanish Madonna, curiously described as being made by hermits in the mountains, who come down once a year with five or six such dolls which they have made during the winter, and last of all a British grenadier from her own country. Since she has come to t he United States she is collecting dolls from each of the mtates, but the only examp1e of this 11he showed was a doll, from New England made to portray Jo in "Little Women." Betty Gage displayed miniature living room furniture from her model home, which started several years ago as a . doll house. One miniature curiosity was a tiny baby grand .piano, which, when wound up played a silvery tune. Other interesting articles were a phone and phone book, desk and waste basket, cream bookcase filled with. removeable books of painted wood and a tilt top table, all built on a miniature scale. Girl Reserves, Hi-Y conference
and interest group plans made up the rest of the program , with singing lead by Betty Nye . Katherine Rice, Lois Lawson, Mary Derrick and Elizabeth Foster have been newly elected to print the music sheets for the meetings.
Chinese Surpasses Otht>r Languages in Complexity For students who think Latin e>r French is complex take a look 11.t the Chinese language. Every word in Chinese is a single s yllable, and one word may have many different meanings. The simple word "shih" may mean history, corpse, army, tent, officer, ten, or any number of different things, according to the tone in which the word is spoken.

Girls Have Few Outside Activities That thirty-five percent of the girls in Lincoln high school have no outside activities in the school, church, or community was one im· portant fact brought out in the meeting of the leisure committee Tuesday, February 27, in 203. Different opinions w ere expressed and it was recognized that those who d id not wish to join in extra-curricular activities could not be f orced to. C. 0. Morrison is the chairman of the committee and other faculty members present were Miss Doris Steeves and Miss Sarah T. Muir. Students who participated in the meeting wer e Emma Seifert, Bryce Alberty, Gilbert Ryder and Dorot hy Carnahan, representing the student council, and Jack Zumwinkel, Bobbette Burke, Jane Watkins a nd Winifred King, who were delegates from the home room representatives.
Printing Classes Do Helpful Work Ballots for the election of class officers were printed in James Wallace's printing classes, which do all school printing. The Irving News is printed every two or three weeks. Office call and pass slips, health and enrollment cards, pro· grams for a ll occasions including class plays. Joy Night, Vesper con· cert. a re also pr inted d uring class periods. Names on the ballots for class officers are rotated so that every candidate's name appears at the top of the list an equal number of times as the ot her candidates. Thia gives each candidate a fair chance because some persons just mark the first names when voting. There are five presses and about 3 ,000 slips or copies can be printed per hour. The Advocate is not printed in the print shop because of lack of right kind of presses.

A. D. Stoesz Says Soil Conservation Will Continue to Help Agriculture and elose together and the n ext best are the ones which are made with ploughs about every ten or t welve feet. Dr. Stoesz stated furt h er that by the u se of contour strippin g a fa rmer could have his crops on sloping ground and still not lose the m oist ure. This met hod is the s yst em of having a strip of corn or some other crop and then a strip of pasture alt ernately throughout the field. "A good way to preserve the moisture from snow is to leav e corns tubble about a foot high in the field and in t his manner hold the snow that falls, equally distributed over t h e f ield," stated t he nurseryman. Mr. Stocsz said that there a r e 200 men in the office at Lincoln and about 1000 throughout this
r egion of five stales. T he United S tates, Alaska, and Hawaii are divided into ten regions with each of these regions m ade u p of m en w ho specia lize in either a dm inis· trations, agr onomy, engineering, s oils, clerical work, forestry, or n urseries. "Man y meteorologists believe the dry years t o be due t o a cycle," declared Dr. St oesz, "but others disagree, so in reality there is no sure reason for t his drouth. " A s to vocational chances in soil conservat ion work, Mr. S toesz said, "Due to the fact tha t the problem of land us e is receiving more and more attention, and that land is constan tly changing, I ses no reason why there should not be quit e a n opportunity in thi..s lin e of work."

The place of t he blacksmith in m odern life was the t opic of a speech given by Leland J ohnson in Gerald K vasnicka's t hird period debate .class. Leland pointed out that the black smith still has a very definit e place in the r ura l districts of t he coun try where the shoeing of horses and r epairing of farm machinery is a part of daily life. He showed h ow d<?wn through t h e years t he blacksmith has been a poetic an d legen dary figure g reatly admired by everyone, as a ttested in Longfellow's f amous poem. " The Village Blacksmith." It is easy t o understand t he part the smit h y has played when one considers the fact that it was he w ho furnished the f ir st metal eatf.ng u.t ens ils to our forefat hers, he explained. " So," concluded Leland, "I believe the blacksmith h as a place in t he present, just as he had in the past, and that he will keep this place no matter what t he future brings."

Bob Anderson, government ln• structor at the Lincoln Flying school, entert ained t he Hi-Y at the club's meeting Tuesday, F ebr uary 2 7, with tales of his adventures and thrills as a student pilot, and a s an inst ructor. Mr. Anderson, w ho received his training at the nav al f lying ba se at P ensicola, Florida, traced the prog ress of a can didate pilot f rom the earliest s tages of dual flying, up through t he seaplanes, dive bombers, flying boats and finally into the combat s quadrons. T he combat squadrons, t he young f lier explained, are composed of s mall, exceedingly m aneuv erable F4 B4 fighter s. "An eng ine in front a n d a f€ather on your coattail," is t h e way many men designate the fly· ing of this type of com bat plane, Mr. Anderson said. One type of f lying guaranteed to rid life of all boredom was catapault wor k, the speaker expla ined. In this type of flying, seaplanes are hurled from a 40 foot catapault off into space a t terrific speed, a ttaining 60 or 70 k nots an ohur when t hey leave the r unway. Mr. Anderson asser t ed that avi· ation is a rapidly enlarging indus try and cited t he military and civilian orders which have r ecently jammed almost every air plan e manufacturer in the U nited State11 as an example of this fact. "Any industry growing as fast as aviation is bound to create a demand f or skilled m en," he asserted, "and as soon as the present war is over, aviation will p robably aga in be dumped into t he civilians' laps." Charles Anderson presented t h e playlet to be given for J oy Night try-outs and Frank O'Connell gave devotions.

That there is a good chance for soil conservation work to go on helping agriculture for quit e a while is the belief of Dr . A . D. Stoesz, head of the nursery branch in this region for the United States Soil Conservation service. "There are three units of men seeding t he wastelands at the present t ime and each unit seeds one~ hundred acres each day," declared Mr. Stoesz when asked as to how soon the work would begin helping rebuild t he land. Besides this seeding, he ex· plained that contour furrows and small dams were being used. These furrows are in reality small terraces which catch the moisture that falls and keep it in the field. He said that the best f urrows were the ones that were very small

Tigers Overcome· Red and Black Led by a fully-recovered Bob Heinzelman and functioning as amoothly as an electric cloc.k, Falls City overcame a struggling Lincoln high team 42-29 last Friday night at Falls City. Coming to the dedication of a new 175,000 dollar auditorium were some 1200 fans, the largest crowd ever to see a basketball game at Falls City. The Tigers took an early lead f r om the effects of Capt. Heinzel· man's gratis toss and basket, and held it through~ut the fray. As the half-time gun went off Lincoln trailed only by a small 15-11 margin. Five Baskets in Five Shots. Starting the second half with a burst of buckets, five baskets in as many shots, Falls City widened the lead to 25-15. Falls City was led in the scoring department by Don J ames, with twelve points, Bob Heinzelman with eleven, and Dick Heuttner with eight. Floyd W ilkinson stole the show offensively for Lincoln with twelve points and was aided defensively by Paul Hyland and Buddy King. The summary:

Modern Counterpart Of Thundering Herd The bell rang! Everybody jumped as though he had been shot and piled out of the door at such speed that it might have been considered a mark of' insanity if those present hadn't known that this was not the case. In the rush that ensued, students from one room tried to drive straight down the hall while students from another class attempted to rush pell· me\\ across the hall and down the stairs. The results were re markable. There were no bro· ken bones or similar disasters. (After all, a scratch can't be counted.) After all, it takes a lot of food to keep up the rangy frame of a large Lincoln high student and since it was lunch time he must hurry for fear he would get nothing to eat.

T o t he Edit or : S t udent government is a ticklish business in Lincoln high. Various reasons have been given for t his, but h ave had m ore opinion to them t ha n fact. As I see t he situation, it appears as a ch ain in five links including: parents, student body, home room repr esentatives, student council, a n d faculty. The weak link in the ch ain , I believe, ls the repr esen tatives.

These seventy-five r epresentatives of the home rooms amount t o only about one thirty-fif th of t he total n umber of s t u dents h ere in L in coln h igh ! Either t h e home room representatives do nothing at their meeting s or s ome of them just don't wa nt to r eport what ha s happ en ed.

Fire DriU Requires Below AYerage Time Lincoln high had its second fire drill of the semester recently and the drill took about 3 1-3' min· utes.

If each student would read the notice under the clock, and walk faster and not push, the school could be cleared sooner.

Sure, and all ye good Irishmen will be after wearin' yer shamrocks come Saint Patrick's day next Sunday, but will ye beknowin' why7 To put it in a bit pla iner English, there is many a good Irishman in America who carries on this old custom of wearing his shamrock, but really hasn't the slightest notion why._ If anyone happened to see the British coat of arms he would probably find on it the thistle, rose and shamrock, the national emblems of Scotland, Eng I and and Ireland, respectively. The sham. rock was chosen by I reland after Saint Patrick, . beloved patron saint of the Irish, used it as being symbolic of the Trinity. It is blue-green in color. and each leaf is divided into three leaflets. The plant has several other names but .is most widely known as the shamrock.

42 Years Ago That an inter-scholastic footbaU league had been 11'.Jrmed w as the big· story of the A dvocate for March, 1898. "The league was for med," the Advocate sta ted, "in the teeling that it would stimulate more interest in the game .and would. also tend to hold ~hose schools to their contract who have a tendency to withdraw at the last moment, a.s was the· case last year with a well known high school."

Beechnerites Drop Teachers, Crete; Trip On Jackson Red And Black Drop Teachers And Crete; Earn Right To Enter State Tournalllent This W eel~ Jackson Again Proves Too Much For Weak Offense Lincoln Offers
Lincoln Meets Schuyler In First Game
Playing without the aid of 6 foot 6 inch center, Floyd Wilkinson, thus being weakened in offensive attack, Lincoln high was uliable to keep up with the pace set by Jackson high and took the short end of a 31-18 count, last Saturday night at Wesleyan. This game, the Lincoln regional class A final, was the lal't possible blemish ·,to Jackson's unmarked slate, before it shows its wares in the state tournament which Jackson has never won, although it has been runner-up three times. Lincoln was weak on the freethrov.i line as the· players missed 16 out of 22 of their gratis shots, while Jackson, with the Goddess of Accuracy smiling down, dumped in 13 of 18 attempts. Thirty-two fouls were cailed and three players left the game via the foul route, plus the ejection of Ralph Wolfe, Jackson forward, who planted his foot on the prone anatomy of Lincoln's Paul Hyland. The game got off to a slow start, the quarter time score being but 3-2 Jackson, and the halftime 15-9. After halftime the Cardinals got started and the fourth quarter started 26-12. From then on Jackson' s Waldo Winter sank enough of his many setups to total ten points while Vince Cutsha ll potted nine. For Lincoln it was Paul Hyland, Ray Wilkinson and Bobby Campbell who were all Lincoln had to offer.

It was 32-9 at the start of th~ last stanza and the Red and· Black, during the last quarter, garnered eight to Teacher's three points. Ray Wilkinson, Floyd's "little" brother, was the best for Lincoln with fine underbasket work in addition to 13 points, while brother Floyd potted but foui·.

Tennis Tea1n Has New Equipment V\7ith
new shoes, racquets re-
strung, and new balls bought, the Lincoln high tennis team is eagerly awaiting the opening of the tennis courts as Harry Kuklin announced that the season will not open until the city courts are open. Until then the tennis team will practice indoors. To ·the ears of the team, sadly cqme the dull notes that the swimming team will. have his attention for _the next two weeks, then tennis will come. Very doubtful until today, Dick Dubuque, last year's only returning letterman, decided he would again play with the tennis team. Other promising tea m members are Carlyle Hummel, who won the inter-tennis championship last fall, and his toughest competitor, Roy Vance.

Sports Chatter
Mr. Kuklin, who is coach of both the golf and tennis teams, has been trying to contact Kearney, Beatrice and York with the idea in mind of having golf, tennis and track meets with the schools. All teams would travel together. Harlan Culwell '39 was third in an 880 yard race at the University of Nebraska and the University of Oklahoma dual track meet Saturday night, March 2, at the Nebraska indoor track. The race was between four Nebraska freshmen and was not part of the regular meet. Abbie Klein, a junior, who played reserve football and basketbell will try his luck on Coach Frank Mueller's baseball team. Abbi~ is a consistent hitter and plays the outfield positions well. Mrs. Frances Rein's period 2 class has finally found a speedster who can type 60 words per minute. The speedster is Wilbur Leb· sack. Wilbur is a football letterman and is not only fast on a typewriter but also on the ground. He is now out for Joe Toman's track team doing the broad jump and dashes. He is also an "Eddie Duchin" on the piano. Eugene "Bud" Irick, '39, who was starting g·uard on Coach Beechner's mythical state championship team of 1938. is one of the many candidates for guard position who has checked out for spring practice at the University of ' Nebraska. "Bud'' has built himself up to 175 pounds and has been taking blocking practice for over a· month at the university. He also earned his numeral sweater for playing freshman football. George Henry Sauer '30, football, .baseball and track star and a

former president of the L club, is now the head footbal.I coach at the New Hampshire university 1n Durham, New Hampshire.

Dick McMahon, Lincoln's ace breaststroke swimmer, s1icceeded in swimming his event in 1 :13 which betters the old pool record of 1:16.6 by 2.7 seconds. In his usual top form, Marshall breezed through the 100 yard backstroke in 1 :07.8 and set a new pool record.. hTe old pool record was 1 :09.5. Not centented however with shattering records in their own events, these two combined their efforts with the able assistance of John Safford and made a new medley relay mark of 1:52. Meet captain was Bill Snyder who swam and won the forty freestyle. Another first plac e was taken by Lincoln' s Perry Branch, who churned the century freestyle in 10:2.8.

Last summer "Verne" played in the Lincoln junior golf tournament and did very well for himself. In the first game of the regional tournament with Teacher's high, the Links should have been right at home in a. game whjch was mare of a football contest than a basketball. game. Bud King twice was the victim of bad spills-. ·once Bob Danley of Teachers, threw a swell side body block i11to King and sent him rolling. Later in the fray Danley went out on fouls, the fourth one being called when he collided with Floyd Wilkinson. In this collision he suffered a chipped bone in his fore-arm.

By winning eight games and losing eight, the Red and Black wound up its regular season with a percentage of a little better. than .500. This record does not include wins or losse!I in tournament games. The Lincolnites revenged an early-season defeat by Tech by winning a hard-fought game at the Whittier court late in the season while Omaha Central was stopped both times that Lincoln met it. Lincoln lost three games by a three points or less margin.
The Links will fight for honors along with Tech, and ' possibly Beatrice and Fremont, in a contest which promises to be a thriller. The Red and Black has yet to win a state championship, as Tech has always had superior reserve power, but if that alone can turn the tide, then this may be Lincoln's year, for Coach Kuklin proba bly possesses more reserve strength than any other Lincoln team has ever had besides having very capable first string performers. To Lose Six Seniors. Several long standing records are expected to fall in a meet which will see six seniors taking their last dips for the Red and Black. Those swimming for the last time are Bill Sn~der and John Safford, free atylers; Dick McMahon and Eldon Ford, breast• strokers; Bruce Pendleton, back• stroker diving.

east high school building will be voted on at the primary election April 9. Lincoln voters have already raised the mill levy and authorized 330 thousand dolla rs, but the g overnment failed to appropriate any more money. P a rents of school children and all taxpayers are permitted to vote on the issue. The new building, which is to situated one mile from each of the three suburban communities, University Place, Bethany and Havol,llock, is greatly needed because all of the old buildings are overcrowded and in poor condition. It will also relieve congestion at Lincoln high beca use many students from those communities attend Lincoln high.

School Previews Sound System At Joy Night
of the largest in any school in the country as well as=1he first of its kind in Nebraska. Purchased with student activities funds, it is the · latest improvement in the auditorium improvement p r oject w hich has been carried on by the classes and the council for lhe last fifteen years. The major improvemF!nt~ '_at present are the curtains and draperies. Th.o t wo all-wave pushbuttontuning radios will provide the benefits of many available educa.t ional brnadca.£ts.._for dii<t.ril:mtion .. fci ..a ny of the - il6 · loudspeakers to be located! in rooms throughout the building. An automatic recordcha nging phonograph unit built into the handsomely styled walnut control ·console permits recordings to be played for more than thirty minutes wit hout attention, t o the speaker-equipped locations. The console contains over l25 switches, six powerful amplifiers, ait electric clock, a volume indicating meter, and employs a total of fifty r a dio tubes. It will require approximately 38,000 feet of special cable to connect all the loudspeakers. Both the radios together with the record-changing phonograph and loudspeakers were demonstrated in a double assembly Tuesday, March 26. Robert. A. Haines, RCA engineer for the Sidles Company, who is supervising the installation gave the demonstration. The first the public will have an opportunity to observe t he new sound system in use will be during the forthcoming oy night, April 4, 5 and 6. Microphone announcements from school authorities may be sent to individual rooms, or to the .e ntire school simultaneously. The duplica tion of assembly programs, previously a necessity because of the inadequate se,ating capacity, will be eliminated with the use of the sound system to send progams to all classes unable to be accommo. dated in the auditorium. Many other supplementary uses of the new equipment are planned, according to Mr. Mardis, who said the installation will provide facilities that will do much. fo increase administrative efficiency and enrich curricular activities. Under normal conditions foreign stations may be reached by which the history classes will profit. The radios will also benefit t1,1e music and language classes.

a recent questionnaire which wa s submitted to all sen~ors . In a nswer to the question, "Do you think the annu al senior party should be held this spring?" 96.5 per cent answered in the affirmative, while · in the question, "In case a senior party is held, do you pla n t o attend if it is at all possible for you to do so?" 92.5 per cent answered in the ·affirmative. As in pr evious years, the pupils who graduated in January, 1940, will be eligible to return for the party. For the first time, all 12B's are permitted to attend the· party so as they may take part In the activity while still in school. Thus, the senior party this year wili be open to graduates in January and June, 1940, and January, 1941. This gives a total of about 980 pupils. · In the past five years only about 20 per cent of the class has att ended, while this year if 90 per~ cent attend who plan to, the committee would have to plan for 880 pupils. by

Miss Olivia Pound, girls' ad- · viser and assistant principal of Lincoln high, paid t ribute to the former Spanish teacher in a recent announcement to the Advocate. "It is seldom that Jt public s chool is fortunate enough to keep on its staff for so many years so valuable a t eacher as Miss Hullhorst. Because of her breadth of scholarship and teaching ability she made her classes interesting. She could always be depended on to handle school responsibilities capably and without friction. Her long and devoted serviee ha s contributed toward giving Lincoln high school its notable place among the schools of the state." H. C. Mardis, principal, says: "In the r etirement of Miss Hullhorst from active duty as a. teacher, Lincoln high school is losing not merely a very capable and well trained teacher, but is losing one of the personalities which really makes a school. Any institution has individuality to the extent to which its persorlnel contributes to the fine traditions already established. Miss Hullhorst is a .woman who has always merited and received the respect and friendship of pupils and teachers with whom she has come in contact."

Two ·mice ran up the dock,
At last, Lincoln high pupils have a chance to help their government. By better inform· ing his parents on how important their co· operation with the census taker is, a pupil can be of service to this, his nation. · This month a census taker will call at yom door. A well informed person of the house· hold should be ready to answer all questions. Th@ questions · will be on such s1\bjects as the
The clock struck one
birth place, education, occupation and other items. · Then there are questions on the house, how big it is, how old, its state of repair, about the water supply, the lighting and the heating. He will want to know if you own the house, its value, whether or not there is a mortgage and the amount of interest paid, or if you r ent, the amount paid. If the house is in the country the census taker will want to know about . the crops and livestock. If it is hard to understand how the census will affect you, other than taking a little of your time to answer questions, one should th.ink of the facts he can learn. 'l'he people on larms may be able to better their crops, by iEarning from it what to raise. Those who are planning on building new homes can find out fre>m what material most houses are built, how the majority are he.a ted and the way they are lighted. · .

Second Annual Girls' State To Be Held at Kiwanis Are any of you Lincoln high girls interin the duties and tasks performed by the government 1 Girls that are interested and able to meet the qualifications have a chance to be selected_as Lincoln's representatives at the Cornhusker Girls' State. .It meets for the &econd time at Camp Kiwanis June 8 to 13 this year. It was modeled from Boys' State and has the same objects and ideals. By establishing this Girls' State, it is believed that many girls can create a greater interest and sense of responsibility toward their government. Mrs. Gladyce Simmons is the president of Cornhusker Girls' State. Only one girl is chosen from a town except Lincoln and Omaha. Girls attending this state must be members of the junior class in high school;' _have a good charac.ter and be healthy. Scholastieally, they must be in the upper half oi their class. Each one should have qualities of leadership, and be able to take back to many in her community the interest and sense of responsibility in government which she will be able to learn there. There will be 100 girls from towns in 1\ebraska accepted for this junior democracy in pra-~tice. ~sted

To the Editor: Why can't everyone, who de· sires to, belong· to the M1.1mmers or the Mimes? .I believe that only tl:wse who are genuinely interested try out for these dramatic clubs and so, if thry do want to take p11-rt in that activity they should be allowed to. After all, the clubs may be able to teach them some• thing, and too often some club!! limit their members to only a cer• · tain group. Jane Fleming. Editor's Note: There are 50 members in the Mimes and the Mummers t ake in up to 100 me_m· bers. That is as large member" ship as a. club could have and accomplish its purpose. Students selected for these clubs are t he ones who show the most ability in their try-outs and will probably g et the most out of the club.

Unsatisfied With Weather? Wait a Few Minutes·
Any person· visiting Lincoln high would think the school had apparently gone western with the many brightly colored ba ndanas advertising Joy Night. Everyone ha11 an idea of hill own on how it should be worn. The most popular way for girls to wear bandanas is around the waist, on the , head, and around the neck. The boys have a clever idea of t.heir own, wearing them .as neckties. More than 500 ban· danas have been sold, yellow seeming to be the most popular color. Other bandanas are colored red, orange and green.

To the Editor: Since the last matinee party was such a success why can't we have them at least every two weeks and perhaps every Friday'. My reason: for saying the last one wa.11 such a success is the tickets were sold out before all the lunch periods were over· Friday and the student council had to turn away more than 25 at the door. Besides I did not see anyone who was not having a good time. Since. the council is allowed to sell only 200 tickets, the school can .not make a lot of money, but in my opinion they h.a ve enough other activities to make money for the 15chool to leave the matinee parties an affair purely for the students' enjoyment and entertainment. Everyone says the younger gen· eration is "dance crazy." Why doesn't this school give t hem what they want and give it to them m ore often? This might even help keep them from going out to danoe halls which should not be attended by high school boys and girls. So, student council and faculty advisers, hear my call for more matinee parties! Betty J. Bintz. To the Editor: Why doesn't Lincoln high school have an "Etiquette Bureau" to help the pupils solve some of their problems on dress and manners which confront them many times 7 i think it would be a good idea tor some teachers who are inter· ested in this subject to be the ad· visers on it. I think many pupils would like this and take a great interest in it. What are some opinions of other students? . Eleanore Baker.

Council Members Scrutinize, Comment On Abilities and Inabilities of Teachers ~ ~ .

In the general. op1mon of four student council members interviewed, a good personality makes a good teacher. If she has a good personalit y, she will have. no trouble in getting her subject across to the pupils and getting co-op· eration from the pupils. Bryce Alberty thinks, "Good co· operation from pupils depends on the teacher knowing her subject and heing able to present it. · Most teachers should have their ma· teri11.l more organized than they
do. They 11hould set an example :for the pupils to follow." Marylou Holtz is of the opinion, "A good sense of humor and tact are the moat essential qualities a. · teacher should possess." She also feels there is too little an understanding of the pupil shown by the majority of t he teachers.

Unusual Plants In Greenhouse The Sun dew plant, in the greenhouse off room 402, is living in a bed of peat moss. This plant, of about an inch in dia meter, has petal-like leaves which are cov· er ed with tiny red tentacles. These tentacles if given a chance will capture insects and the plant di· gests them in its inner t ract. Among plants assembled t here is .a vine Buginvillea· plant hoard· ing red flowers. The vine is about three feet tall extending from the table to the top of the gl,ass roof. Miss Mary N. Bardwell is start· ing an avocado pear tree which she hopes will grow. There are eight · fern plants to be used, Miss Bardwell says, for assembly decor ations. ·Other plants are two banana trees and one rubber tree.
Dr. Robert J. Stein Tells Aims
the school principals , the real project 01· actually analyzing the personal question has not yet been st arted. The consultant is a definite help in solving_ the emotional p roblems of the student. Some of the problems grow out of the shock of a child finding he is no longer an individual, but a member of a group at the age of 5 when he st arts his school life. The most prevalent causes are either those pertaining to social relationship or emotional feelings. In aiding the students, a blank form has been printed. The consultant, Dr. Stein, prefers to call his work the student adjustment clinic. I n order that Dr. Stein may know his student, this blank is filled out by the teacher, p ar· ent or principal who asks for t he analysis. In many cases the pupils themselves request his aid.

It ,concerned a dashina-· hero, a beautiful lllaiden and a real automobile which was driven all over the stage. More than 121'.i atudenta and ' members of the faculty took . part in Joy Night. A minstrel show was presented with . the afr of professionals. The faculty stunt proved to be the big card of the. evening, the students liking it better than any other act. The act was writ ten by :Mrs. Alberta B. Andersen and Mrs. Grace Hyatt. It depicted s. meeting of the faculty at which resolutions were adopted abolish• ing grade slips, school on Monday, tardy slipil and other school restrictions. It was also deCided to have matinee parties on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. .A.Il teachers were compelled to have their hair bobbed. Altogether .Joy Night in 1925 was a night of gaiety and fun for all.

On this blank the pedagogical · a chievements, the work the pers on does in respect to his mark, the intelligence and special ability, educational tests and social trait s of the student are recorded. Usually this data is sufficient, but if not, Dr. Stein will talk to the person who requested the analysis. The next step is to meet the stud ent and see how the personalities of the doctor and those of t he student "clash." "Everyone has more abiHty in some one field or another so by this chart we hope to find that ability a nd to strengthen it," he declared. Spending t wo hours a day with the public schools. teaching at the Universit y of Nebraska and main· taining his own practice keeps Dr . Stein busy. An alumnus of Lincoln high, Dr. Stein graduated from the medical school of the University of Nebraska. He in· terned a t Albany, New York, and was a consultant in psychiatry for the Rochester, New York public l!chools.

The graph show~ that the e!x weeks a verage of tardinesses tor boys is 524 and. the six weeks av· erage for girls is 217. Figures for each week are as follows first week; boys 75, girls 32; second wfek; boys 161, girls 7 4; third week; boys 104, girls 32; fourth week; boys 105, girls 21; fifth week; boys 59, girls 17; sixth week boys 95, girls 41. "Some boys are late ," 1tated Mr. Hackman, "because they either work late the night before or have early morning paper routes. Most of them are late, how· ever, because they don't get out of bed in time or fool around and don't get start~d to s~hool in time. "Ther e is too big a difference and the graph is to show the boyl!! when they are late," said Mr. H ackman, "in· order to make them try to get hei:e a little earlier."

In regard to interviews, Miss Carpenter gave ·this advice: "Don't resent personal questions; don't undersell yourself, and don't tell your troubles. Fifty per cent of the chance for the job is in your approach, l!<> be neat in appearance, and above all have faultless posture, and a pleasing voice." Miss Carpenter said that references are preferable to letters of recommendation, and a qualification sheet left with the employer for future reference is a decided asset. "There is a job for you if you really want one," she concluded. . On the program committee for the next meeting are Genevieve Hand, Florence Bauer and Betty Harris .
Mens' Glee Club Sings at L.H.S. Singing of "Fight for the Scarlet and Cream" ushered in the double ass.embly Monday, March 25, in which the University of Ne· braska Men's glee club, directed by William Tempel, former Lincoln high vocal music instructor, and accompanied by Paul LeBar, participated. "Land Sighting," by. Grieg, a song of the sailor, and the rejoicing after liiome distant spot of land, was sung by Lynn Meyers, baritone, soloist. "Swabian Love Song" was presented next and was sung a · cappella. Greeted with loud. applause was the octet's singing of "Sahardak." The song itself with lilting tune and onomatopoetic words was amplified by the antics of the eight men. The oct et was compelled to repeat the chorus when they heard the response. "Climbin' up the Mountain," a Negro spiritual, was also sung a cappella. The closing number was "Fight Nebraska Fight," by O'Hara, a newly composed "fight" song. The group, about thirty voices, left that afternoon for a trip, over Nebraska where they will sing to various groups.

Feet were examined in the boys and girls gymnasium before spring vacation to enable those who have skin infections to clear them before school again commenced. Those who were found to have the foot diseases were again to be inspected after the recess to be sure that they were rid of them. The inspections were carried on by Mrs. Mary Mapes, nurse at Lincoln high school. The libr ary has been brightened by the jonquil plant given by Miss Carrie Roberts. Miss Bardwell also sent a begonia which she said was too large to be used in t he. greenhouse and she believed it would be enjoyed in the library where more pupils have the opportunity to see it. At a m eeting of the Orpheons, March 14, there was a short business session and then a two-act play was presented. Those in t he cast were Melvin Johnson, Phyllis Holbrook, June Helmstader, and Betty Ann Fullag'ar.
Classes Given Scientific Tests Tests on -scientific thinking are to be given to the pupils in m od· ern problems, physics, chemistry, algebra, geometry and biology classes under the direction of H. C. Mardis, principal. These tests are not meant to find out what the subject matter of a problem is, bu't are intended to see how a pupil can attack and analyze a problem the scientific way. This is primarily to fin d out what subjects help in developing this scientific sense. There will be another test in June to find out how much the pupil has progressed and thus find the scientific value of a subject and the scientific content of a pupil's mind.

Eugene Loss of Lincoln high ha d fuis 1hriilling experience when he and his father went prospect ing il'l t he White Moun tains of Colorado on their sum· mer vacation. "When we g ot a-bout half way u.p, we had to leave the car a.nd start 11hoveling snow," E u gene said, "so you see, I had a ch ance to do my snow shoveling in the m iddle of the summer." E ugene a nd his father d id their gold p rospect4ng in a stream too amall to use sieucebox to get lhe g old, ao they had to use ihe .panning method. They camped near an old deserted mine which still con· tained gold, Dtlt which was impoasible t o get at because of poisono\ls fume11 in the interior of the ·shaft. For his Jabov, Eugene g ot only a few gold nuggets, but he had a lot of :f\ln and a unique e!!tperience. "The gold nugget11 eould be traded in, down at l he g eneral store, for bacon and beans which w as our standard a fternoon meal," E ugene sa id, "b ut I strn have a few o! th em at home to remind me of the trip."

When the s m oke cleared a way l:aturday night at · the University of Nebraska coliseum, Creighton Prep of Omaha . w as crowned champion of tke thirtieth annual 11tate high s chool class A basketb all tournament by defea ting Lincoln high, 31-16. A Lincoln hig h squad, w hich rose from the bottom rung of the ladder tO the top, was knocked back down a notch by losing a game, which until t wo minutes of the fourth qua rter· were g one, was a nip and tuck battle. The magnificent warriors from Lincoln high put up a battle w hich showed the spirit the teams from Lincoln high have. Score Tied at Half, 7 -7. 'I'hree thousand five hundred fans Were on hand to witness the " kill.'' When the first half was over and the score was knotted 7-7, everyol(le of the fans was perplexed. The Lincoln five was f oiling the Jay quintet's most potent weapon, the. fast break. Harvey Lauer, who coHapsed at the end of the game and was carr ied to the dressing rooms, was fighting his heart out, as w as his running mate Paul H yland. The Red and Black was still in front with the third quarter h a lf wa y gone, when Bob Duffy, Creighton's fla shy center, sank the basket which signaled Lincoln's downfall. This set up the pins for the power• ful Bluejay t eam, who from then on poured it out mercilessly. George Dunn led his. m a tes in the spree which plowed Lincoln under. The Red and Black quintet fought to the last ditch, never giving up. Links F ight To the Last.

PHO'IOS
Lincoln .high's basketball squad this year established an ' impression never' to be forgotten in the Nebras1<a cage circles. May we give our compliments to a team which never gave up · and surely showed the kind of sportsmanship the name Lincoln stands for in athletics. Most people would have laughed . In your face before the tournament started, if you had told . them that Lincoln would go to the fina ls in ttie state tournament. Only Coach Ralph Beechner, who told his players a month before the tournament started that they would reach the finals, and the players themselves vowed that they would.

Students Aid In Experiment Evaluation of Supplies Carried on by School Faculty Committee Co-operating with the faculty committ ee in evaluation of different equipment ·and s upplies in t he Lincoln school system, t he type· carrying on experiments. T hese experiments are not contests, bu t are a part of the regular class work. The facult y committee is a branch of Superintenden t Lefler's r ound table. One of t he projects of this committee is to evaluat e. the different makes of t ypewriters and how they rank in h elping the p upils to gain in speed and accuracy. This pI'oject comes under t he t itle of the " P upil· Progress St udy." In Lincoln high, the typewriting 2 p upils w ere chosen for t h is test because the enrollment is greater in t his course t han in any other advanced typewriting courses. 24 Students Working. D uring the da y, 24 pupils work on each of five makes of mach ines. At first, t he plan was to h a ve each pupil type on one mach ine f or a while and then c hange to another m ake but now ther e is not enough time for that so the pupils just stay a t one m achine. The pupils are arranged in groups- each gr oup working on a d ifferent make of ma~hine . Though the pupils in the groups do not have the same speed and accura cy scor es, singly, t he typewr iting abil· ity of the groups are essentially the same. The papers of the p up ils will be check ed by t he com mittee and t he progress of the p upils will be noted. This p roject will be continued for six weeks. Althoug h this is not t he only project of the committee of which Miss A1ice B. Beynon is a member, it is the only project i'.!l which . the pupils of Lincoln high school are, participating.

Debate Team Makes Commendable Record Debaters this season, as in the past, have proved themselves most successful. Recently they were victorious in the district debate, .w hich means that they are eligible :for the Btate debate, to be"held April 11 and 12. Lin· com high can be proud of the record made by its orators who have worked hard to gain. medals, debate cups, individual scholarships and a plentiful supply of honor for their
school. The team got off to a good start by win· lling the Midland invitational debate at Fremont, February 2 and 3. Next they were victorious at Hastings, February 16 and 17. They met their first defeat at Doane, February 23 and 24, when Wymore was victorious in the ~mi-tinals.
Girls also have a good, hard working de· hate team. They have traveled to many of the places where the b oys have gained honor. Midland saw the girls' team as well as Doane and Peru. The girls s<in1etimes debated 1'\"ith the boy' as a team, and sometimes as a team of theiir own. Th~ question in the debates was "Resolved: That the government should own and operate the railroads." These students deserve a great deal of credit for their untiring efforts in working for their sehool. Debates take a lot of outside preparation, and Lincoln high · debaters gave thew time, which rewarded them with the district finals victory. Members of the assembly group A will today have an opportunity to hear the debate team debating· on the question, "Resolved: That the policy of increasing the power of the federal government should be discouraged." The Advocate has arranged for the members of the audience to vote for the affirmative or negative as they see fit. For many, this will be their first opportunity to hear a school debate and it is hoped that it will inspire them to attend the state debate toul'nament held in Lineoln at the Student Union April 11 and 12.
Vocation Should Be Your Basis for Registration What shall I be 1 What vocation or career ·shall I follow 1 These questions are very promin~nt in the minds of high school students, and if not they should be, but do high school students stop very o£ten and think, what must I be1 What MUST I do1 Registration starts soon. Remember when choosing your subjects that it is important to register for something· that will do you some good in the fu. ture, something that will help you in your vocation. Remember your obligation to your parents, and try to find a suitable vocation for which you can start studying now. On April 22, in home rooms this task will begin. The teachers are ready and willing to . help you with your registration, so when they give you their time, make it worth while.
Sound System Proves Its Worth at Joy Night Li-ncoln high 's soun.d system underwent its first critical test, during Joy night, and was unanimously acclaimed a great test. Popular music was played half an hour before Joy night and was used in some of the acts. All in all, the system has proved a good investment. After the Joy night performance, the sound eontrol system was ·on display in room 201: Robert A. Haines, R. C. A. enginer, explained the controls to the crowds which filled the room. Some of the rooms are already equipped with speakers and others are wired for the speakers.

Well children, having come through the first week of writing so called humor without injury to limb or senses, I am encouraged to such an extent that I shall attempt to bring another column of humor. However, I should not be held responsible for the material found herein. After all, children, I am but a high school student who in his attempts at humor is given little encouragement by my public, being greeted by such remarks as, "It stinks," thrown at stories your Column Editor once considered humorous. As I sit here and dictate to my secretary, James Deffenbaugh, in my deep, dark, dank, dim, dreary, dirty, drippy, dangerous, d~ngy, dilapidated, deteriorated, depleted, degraded, demerited, demoralizing, denounced, deoxidized, deodorized, deplorable, descending, destitute, dewy, diobolical, disarrayed, discom· :fortable, and disguised study, (it 's a pretty bad place) I look out over the rolling, ragged, rollicking, rustling, rocky, rank, rancid, rambling, raw, rough, rebelling, rebounding recal· citrant, recessive, recurring, reddish, reflex,ive, registered.

During World War, Students Displayed Patriotum by Voluntary Services April 6 is the anniversary of the entrance of the United States in the World War in 1917. Its ef· rect on high school is evident in the files of the Advocate. An issue of twenty-two years ago has the entire first page devoted to articles concerning patriotism of the students to their country dur· ing the war. The whole school had pitched in and each person in some way was doing his part. Boys of the wood work classes had in the first three weeks of the semester given $30 worth of their time. They had made eighteen combination book cases and book packing ca.ses to be sent to France with the next hospital unit to leave Omaha. The material, $60 of which had been used for the book cases, was donated by a prominent Omaha woman and the books to fill them by the city library. Many boys donated their services to the Boys Working· Reserve sponsored by the United States Department of Labor, the United States Department of Agriculture and the National Council of Defense. Boys bet ween the ages ol sixteen and lwPnf'y-one were enrolled for work rm the· fa t ms or in the shipyards, munition factories or in other factories making things that help to carry on a war. Before each boy was enrolled he was required to have the consent of his parents and took an oath promising that he would perform faithfully the duties for which he was signed. At the time of enrollment he was given a recruit badge and a certificate by the enrollment officer. After six weeks of agricultural work or ten weeks of the other work. the boy . was given a bronze membership badge~ If he did not conduct himself he, of course, did not receive the badge and was dismissed. The farm work was one of the most important industries in carrying on war and it was the boys ·in the middle western states that did the farm work. By enrolling in this service the boys could feel they were rendering a valuable service. Girls of Lincoln high were far from shirking responsibility. On the average of sixty girls wor ked each night making all kinds of . bandages. In one week they made 1,80() bandages. Others were engaged in making knitted garments, convalescent robes, surgical shirts, pajamas, operating gowns, . gauze dressing·s, muslin bandages, comfort bags, fracture pillows and trench candles. Besides these they sent several immense Christmas boxes to the soldiers in which were 100 pounds of candy in hand decorated boxes. From little entertainments by the French and German departments they col· lected over $450 for the Red Cross.
Open Forum To the Editor: Recently a boy was Injured while playing tag in the swimming pool. He was running along the edge of the pool when h,e slipped on the wet tile floor and fell, cutting his head. There have been many accidents of this type be· cause of the tile floor which is very slick when wet. I think it would be a good plan to put some kind of a rubber mat around the edge of the pool. This would prob· · ably solve the problem. JIM HACKER. To the Editor: Why can't Lincoln high school give a better reserve lett er? We don't see any of the boys wearing the letters they have won , and there must be a reason for this. If the boys don't wear the letters, why give them one? I don't blame them, because all the letters are is a piece of thin felt that isn't worth putting on a sweater. After all, the reserve t eams work just as hard, if not harder, than the first teams. I f a boy lett.ers in reserve competition, and fails to letter with the first team in his senior year, a ll he has is a piece of felt and a certificate. Jackson high school gives a good reserve team letter, so why can't Lincoln high? I suggest a smaller "L" than the first team's, made of cheniile, with the word "reserve" on the bottom. HARRY BECKER. To the Editor : In last week's issue of the Ad· vacate, April 3, Betty J . Bintz asked if it would not be possible t o have a matinee party every two weeks. If this were possible we would be glad to do it, but as there are other activities which have first call over the dances, such as athletic events. it is necessary to have the parties whenever possible and therefore we can have no definite schedule. Interest in the matinee parties has waned lately due to the grow· ing popularity of the social dancing classes .which have cut from the attendance the large number who went to t he dances just to learn how to dance. The large number of parties outside of school has also detracted from the group who used to attend the dances. The party of which Betty J. Bintz speaks was an exception, as the tickets are not usually all sold. However, If the demand grows enough, the student council will do all it can to increase the number Of dances. There will be a matinee party this Friday. TURNEY SHARRAR.

"Aviation is my hobby. I should like to own a plane and be able to fly in all my spare time," sayl! Don Me:yer, who doesn't seem to think the University of Nebraska is particularly good and antici• pales going to some university _, with a higher standing that offers more opportunities. Writing is his ambition, with novela as hill. biggest interest. "Most authors starve f<;> r the first ten yean of their career,'' he said, "so I plan to teach philosophy or history i n some university befon going into writing exclusively. "I would nevr;r consider teaching · in a high achoo!," he added.
Between The. Covers "John Brown's Body'' by Ste· phen Vincent Benet, part of a long area of historical. books,' was written twelve' years ago as the American epic. It is a long narrative poem haying as its subject the t houghts, points of view and sympathies · of the people before and during the Civil war. Most of the poem Is free verse, though some is regularly metered and rhymed. It is told from three po.ints of view, that of the histo· rian, telling the story of John Brown and of the Civil war, that of Jack Ellyat, Connecticut-born and frugal, and that of Clay Wingate, an arrogant, high-spirited Georgian. The narrative parts 'of the book are straight forward writing and tense reading. Many passages-are devoted to the mutual hatred of the two soldiers, northern and southern, for war. The keynote seems to be Freedom, worth even such a great price. Ellyat and Wingate, who never meet, represent two widely different ways of life and points of view on that F reedom The other characters, hateful, spirited Sally Dupr e, young Lucy Weatherby, the slave Spade, Me~ lora Vilas, who wanted a mirror because they told her she was pr etty, and the other soldiers, sym· pathizers and lovers, 'north and south, are well drawn and help to make this a true and heroic epic,
beautiful and interesting to be read. "In High Places" by William Brown Meloney, is !lot a great book, but it has enough excitement and interest to hold .the averag$ reader through all of its 218 pages. It Is pure fiction, but there ill no guess to determine just who its characters represent. The fat, gluttonlsh "Leon," the slinking, crip• pied "Tiger," the Jewish surgeon, Dr. -Emmerlich, the "Power" him· self, are familiar enough characters in today's history. The setting is a country in north Europe, where German is spoken, where the swastika is the nation'&! emblem, and where Jews a re persecuted. The story is about a dictator who has but one month to live or else must submit to be operated on by a Jewish surgeon. The conversation between the two Is one of the high reading points. Interesting by-play i.s brought In through the old m an Hans, by daughter Anna, and son Otto. The struggle between father, faithful t o the st ate alone, is very exciting to sa y the least. Some will say that this novt>l is overdone. that it"s dramatic, if a trifle unplea s ant s ubject Is fiction used as propaganda. And others will say it is but making t he be.s t and saying t he least of a terrible condition that ought to be r eme• died: At any r ate, it is a tense, terse, and somet imes t errifying port rayal of life in some country other than ours.
Dr. Earnest Hooton Declares Behavior Of Any Nation Due to People's ldeal,s "Don't let anyone tell you that the behavior of any nation is due aim.o at entirely to its leader. He is merely expre1sing the ideals of the masses," wi;s the statement of Dr. Earnest Abedt Hooton, Har· vard university professor and one of the·. nation's foremost physical anthropologists, speaking Tuesday morning on the anthropology of the European belligerents. Anthropology is the science -dealing with man, his customs and origins, and the methods for improving his future. Dr. · Hooton, who has writte1L. books on the sub· ject of how we, as men, can improve the physi,:al and mental well being of the ~ace, has collected much evidence on the or igins and progress of the European ·races. With the use of slides, he showed the main European social types
in Irela nd, England, France and Germany. "Germany," he said, "has nearly every race in it, but comparatively The few of the Nordic type. typical straight, firm mouth, supposed to indicate strength of character, actually indioates only loss o.f teeth.'' To illustrate the fact that there is no race superiority, Dr. Hooton showed slides of criminals and geniuses in all races. "In spite of the statement to the oontrary," he emphasized, "there are no pure races in Europe. Nor is there any superior race." He concluded by showing Mte pictures of t he so called "men responsible," Hitler, Daladier and Chamberlain, explaining the likeness to any man in their respective countriea.

Wilkinson Brothers To Pitch at Seward; Glass Draws Omaha South Assignment Lincoln high's 1940 baseball sea1on opens Thursday, when the squad travels to. Seward to engage in its first game. The Links will then return home to take on Omaha South Friday afternoon. Coach Mueller said that his · probable pitchers against Seward would be the ;Wilkinson brothers, Ray and Floyd, with Bob Cropp doing relief duties. Bob Kersey or Johnson, will probably handle the catching du-
..
ties. The infield line-up will be: Bill Jennings, first base; Joe O'Connor, second base; La Mond Shaw, shortstop; Eddie Hall, third base. The outfield will find Wesely Maser, Harold Lovell and Charles Gordon holding down left, center and right field respectively. i:hree Rookies Will Start The starting line-up at Seward finds three rookies holding down positions. Shaw and . Hall are sophomores, and Lovell,. a senior who was ineligible last year. There will be a few changes in the lineup against O.:naha South Friday. Coach Mueller said . he would rely upon "Lefty" Glass and possibly Mark Sheffert to handle the pitching duties, with Bud Daniel behind the plate. Mark Sheffert . will start at shortstop, and Floyd Wilkinsou in · right field. Seven Games are Scheduled. If it comes up to expectations, Lincoln high's baseball team should be one of the · strongest contenders for the state tournament this spring. With ten lettermen returning and the most promising recruits in many seasons reporting, the outlook is ·exceptionally bright for Coach Frank J\.foeller. Floyd Wilkinson, Gayland Glass and Mark Sheffert, all returning lettermen, form the best pitching staff in the state. All have had much experience. Wilkinson and Shefert were the mainstays of the Lincoln Blues two years ago and
work Monqay. He will run a three round tournament of which the

Glass, after play:ng Legion ball, pitched last summer for Fairbury in the ~ebraska-Kansas . Ban Johnson baseball league. Bob Gropp, Ray Wilkinson and Allan Wilson are also promising aspirants. Two Catchers Return. Bud Daniel and Bob Kersey are r.eturning lettermen for the back~ stop position. Both have had two or three years experience. Bill Jennings is the returning lett~rmari for first base position. Jennings is a two year letterman and an American Legion balrveteran. Charles Gordon has also had experience at the first base. J oe O'Conner is a · returning letterman for the keystone position. Bob Rubino is also a promising recruit for the second base .job. There is no letterman returning for the shortstop position. The early season workouts have seen Mark Sheffert and Lamond Shaw working at this position. Competition For Third !!lase.

Coach Kuk.Jin is trying for an invitation.al meet at Kearney the twenty-sixth of this month, but so far he has not had an answer to his lett er. He is planning to have the golf team travel with the tracic squad. Some of the most promising boys trying out for the squad are Paul Hyland; Richard Spomer, Tom Hyland, Bob Vose and Tom Dworak. The team plan to accompany the track men wheri they go to York fo r an invitational meet the 27th. Those trying .out for golf are: Bob Vose, William Goe, Don Tucker, Faul Hyland, Richard Spomer, Jack Tilton, Alex George, Tom Hyland, Dan Dietrich, Jerry Nuss, Vernon Strouch1 No_rvel Jacobs, Ward Quilter, Burton Folsom, Bill Schaumberg and Toin Dworak.
Spring Football Drills Abolished Spring football, which was something of a tradition here in Lincoln high school, has been abolished this year because of t he ruling .of the state athletic authorities in a recenJ meeting. The reasori for such a decision was not given out· to the general public, but it was commonly known that it would favor the .smaller schools because of their. lack of funds for such an enterprise. This will be a great disadvantage to Coach Beechner who has a flock of new materia l coming up from t he reserves that Will . need season . iag for the coming campaign.

Opposition Bows To L.H.S. ChaIUpions Junior Play Cast Announced For This Year's Presentation 'The Youngest', April 26 Rehearsals Directed By Elizabeth Barker, Dramatic ·Coach, Are Progressing Smoothly ·
·
Representing a. typical youni::-est member :a .family is Richard Winslow. He is continually picked · on &nd corrected by his family. His desire to become a writer is ridiculed by his brothers who want him to enter their pin factory. Scheming for Richard is vivacious debutante, Nancy Blake. Her ideas come qu1'ckly itnd , she becomes one of Richard's true friends~ Katie is the family maid. The rehearsals have been proJ-ressing smoothly and the cast is working hard under the direction ef Miss Betty Barker, dramatic coach.

Club Honored By Magazine At the request of Student Life Magazine, the travel club decided to · have its picture taken to submit with an article by two members, describing the functions and purpose of the club. Both the article and the . picture will be printed in a future issue of the Student· Life. Guest speaker at the meeting was Katherine Rice, telling about her experiences in :J:ndia, she having lived there for eight years. One of. the interesting facts about the natives is that they never kill animals and even step out of the way of an ant, so as not to kill it. The reason for this is that they think when their relatives die they turn into. animals, and the natives wouldn't want to kill their relatives. Katherine demonstrated how the men wore their turbans, .showed the shoes she had worn while she was in India, showed Indian purses, jewelry, money and several other articles. In conclusion Katherine told about Switzerland, Italy, Vatican City, Wales and the countries her family visited on their way back to the United States.

Charlotte Martin is the mother ef the family who means well but it! swayed too much by her older children, especially Oliver. Oliver Winslow is the oldest and assumes the duties of the father. Everyone of 't he family, except Richard and Alan, . thinks .he does his part well. The part of Mark Winslow i_s a eonceited and sarcastic one: He is very l!elf centered, but is easily awayed by Nancy. Augusta Martin is the oldest and only married <l&t\ghter of the family'. She has a very sh8.rp tongue and is continually picking on her youngest brother, Richard. Alan Martin, lawyer husband of Augusta, is very dignified, very •ure ·o f himself and he is the only one who really .s ympathizes with Richard. Continually cracking jokes is "Muff Winslow, youngest daughter of the family. Way down deep she ls really upholding Richu~s ~~

Advocate Wins Board Issues Year's All-State Rating Next C<ilendar W. Emerson Reck Grants Fifth Straight Certificate to Paper For the fifth consecutive time the Advocate received a certificate for being one of the best high school papers in the state ·in the · annual Critic Service of t he Nebraska High School Press association. This is directed by W. Emerson R eclt, professor of j oumalism at---·-the Midla in· Fremom. -- nd college . - ---High schools submitted three consecutive copies of t heir papers prior to April 5. The Advocate sent in the first three iss ues of the new second semester staff. Other A ll State Schools Besides the Advocate, the Omaha Centr al Register and t he F remont Rustler were awarded All-State certificates, F our schools received first class awards, eight schools .received second class a w ards and one s chool r anked third class. Papers J udged on Points Papers are judged and r ated on a point basis. Of the possible 1,000 points, the Advocate received 810. To r eceive an All-State rating, a paper must have 800 points to its credit; 725•299 points secure a first class rating ; 650-724 points, a secon d class r ating and under 625, third .class rating. Best Ed itorial Page Mr. Reck writes, "The Advocate editorial page is the best in. the state although it could be more interesting and attractive." He critiized this page for using t oo mu<;h "Stat ic" and having . the feature · stories t oo lengthy inst ead of being shorter and giving room f or a greater number of them. Mr. Reck marked the February 21 issue of the Advocate in detail to show just what mistakes. were made and what t hings should be improved. News wr iting was criticized because of stories being too wordy and repetitious and headlines were criticized because they lacked life and were too matter of fact. Of the papers submitted the mimeographed division entries totaled 29, while the p rinted school publications totaled only 16, The inserts in town weeklies numbered three.

Northeast High School Will Offer Advantages There will soon be a new much needed, Northeast high school. Pupils now living in the new ·school· district, who h a v e been ··in the been in the crowded class rooms of Bethany, Havelock and Jackson high schools will enjoy the tnany advantages of Northeast high. At the primary election April 9, voters app.roved by almost a three. to one vote the proposal authorizing the board o:f education to issue additional bonds to erect a new high school building at Sixty-third and Adams streets. . Lincoln high will be affected, not only by losing some stu(l.ents to the new school· building, but it will ulso mean more nearly comparable equipment in athletics, journalism, public performances and. other activities. · The school will be built to accommodate 1,200 pupils and will be equipped w~th the best. £8.cili~ ties, according to M. C. Lefler, superintendent. A swimming pool, fine library, good health Un.it, complet e cafeteria ·s!lrv i"" an<l

Show Good Sportsmanship At School Performances How good a sport are you 1 One 0£ the best opportunities to show just how good a sport you are, is the way you conduct yourself at a school performance. Recently, the students and faculty worked long and hard to put on three entertaining nights of the annual Joy Night. At all three performances the audie11ces were, a s a whole, most courteous and proved themselves good sports. No doubt there were acts which did not please all the patrons: everyone has his own•opinion, but the audiences were at· tentive with few exceptions. A high school audience ·should be able to see a play with a little love in it, without laughing· or making childish re.mark!J. They can_.and have showed ~hat this is possible with their splendid behavior at the senior play. Next week, April 26, the juniors a.re presenting their annual play. For the most part, this play is a comedy, but it .has some more serious moments. Surely pupils of high school age will take this opportunity again to be good sports and r epay the cast and all who have worked hard to make it a success, by being a courteous audience. · A play cast takes about three hours a day, preparation of a play to present for four pleas. from their own f ree time, for practice and ure. You can give them. the satisfaction of knowing that you appreciate this· by giving them your full attention 1tnd being good eriough sports to enjoy the serious as well as the funny scenes iri this coming play.
Arbor Day Now Observed In Most of United States It is generally accepted that everyone knows. what Arbor day is and its significance. But f or matter of record let us repeat th.at this day is a special day set aside £or tree planting. The custom and practice originating in Ne~ braska, has spread widely over the world .. In most of the United States we have lent dignity to the day by making it a national' holiday. Each year t hrough the planting of millions of trees on this da.y, we est ablish a symbol ~or the conservation of soil, water, and wild hfe which all make definite contributions to our economic and soical welfare. No uniform date is set. apart for Arbor day. It varies in the different states owing to the differences in climate. However , Nebra.ska.ns obser ve April 22 as this day. The Nebr aska Board of Agriculture in 1872 was the first to set aside a. day for t he purpose of planting trees, shrubs and vines in places where they are needed. It would be unjust to t he honor of. a great tn.an, if in any article on Arbor Day we fail to mention, that, for the enthusiasm that sp onsored this idea we are indebted to J. Sterling Morton. . His great contribution to this cause, we believe, is generally known, and we will make no attempt h.ere at further discussion of Mr. Morton and the generous amount of history revolving around his early pioneering in Nebrask a, the public schools, and many other civic organizations.
Some of .you will no doubt suspe~t foul play and say that the column was so bad that these certain people made me throw it away. Of course this can only be the opinion o:f riff raff and of people who really don't know any better; I give you my word, children, that was .not the case. It was a wonderful column. (You'll have to take my word for this 'cause you'll never see the other it.) Heh, heh. No· doubt you would like to know who the certain people were-who lost my column. Well, my position in this school will not allow me to diselose this information. Believe me, I wish I could. I would make a scandal in this school never equaled in the history of American high schools. While I am slaving over this column, on this lovely Sunday afternoon, the certain people who are the cause of it all are no doubt out having a good time. It ain 't fair, children, it ain't fair. Fate has dealt me a cruel blow! Sob, sob. All these troubles, trials, and tribulations have brung back to me the memories of my happy boyhood. Ah, the happy kiddies, they have naught to worry about. They ·n eed not worry about who is going to support them. (Look at me, my father does not support me. He just buys my food, clothes, gives me place to sleep, and a little pin money on the side. I do the rest.) They · need not worry about work. (Look at me, I rak e the lawn every spring · and wash the dishes every Saturday. Why doesn't your sister do the dishes, you might ask Y All I can say is, · "applesauee. ,. What is so rare as my loving sister offerin~ to do the dishes for her brother when I have been assigned the task on Saturday morning. But that is no sign that it is as cold in the country as it is in the winter.) Ah, to be a boy again.

· The title of my little lecture is "What This School Needs is Pep." Yes pep,. ah pep. Now according to Daniel Web"ter "Pep" means ahlih-(thumbs through dictionary) brisk energy or initiative, usually with high spirits; liveliness, dash, go--yes -So putting it in sort of a Blang expression I agairt repeat myself, what this school needs is pep! (Gives mathema.tical definition of "pep" found ori chart) Definition equals-what? Well, you figure that out. Now according to some people "pep" may be just another form of breakfast cereal, you know that cereal whose motto is "keep peppy with pep?" I've brought along a box with which to clarify my ~tatement.
(starts to eat pop corn) "Pep" is really a form o.. energy and
energy is what we get out. of food, io in order to have pep we must have or eat the right kind of food 1t the right time not the wrong kind of food at the wrong .time (which would naturally be wrong\ or the right kind of food at the wrong time. or vice versa the wrong kind of food at the right time--of course you follow me or --do you? (Gives process of pep on chart) This is the process of pep. Any person with a normal amount of intelligence can easily figure this out- you see it starts In here and ends up here-so I'll leave the rest entirely up to you. Pep affects various persons in, shall we say, different ways. There is the person that feels very high spirited and goes around illustrat· ing his emotions by going woo woo! There are two kinds of "pep talks." The one kind given by the coach to the basketball and foot· ball heroes, the other kind given by the parents to the children about improving their grades, then around the final appearance of grades comes t.h e time for the children to · pep up the parents about the grades. (Demonstrates the word "pep" on chart.) There was that extra "p" at the end of the word and peace . just seemed to fit in. A modern version of pep is the a - jitterbug. It.is really quite re- ~ _,,., hl"l what' antics these bugs go through in order to keep up their so-called pep! What . has .always interested me is that during a periOd of a subject of some sort, now I ·won't mention any names, but during some sort of a subject, the pupils seem to have lost their previous vim, vigor and vital!ty, but just around five minutes till the close ol. the p eriod there is an unusual display of pep. Interesting phenomenon. "Pep," is really another form of enthusiasm and ambition. The expression used n ow -a -days is "umph." A s I always sayLa.te to bed and early t o riae (yawrui) Makes you unhealthy, poor, and tired. Isn't that what you a lwa ys say?

Amazing! Boys Learn How to Prepare Complete Breakfast in Six Weeks Learning how to prepare ·a com· plete breakfast in six weeks is the accomplishment of the boys in horri.e economics 8 classes. This course is divided into three units each one taking . up a different meal and lasting six weeks. The first unit deals with breakfast, starting with the preparation of fruits, both dried and fresh; then taking beverages, milk, cocoa and other suitable breakfast drinks; next come cooked cereals, bacon and eggs, a.rid different types of toast ; plain, cinnamon and French. Each article :Li! studied, fitted into a menu and at the end of the unit a complete breakfast is pre· pared and served by each couple, the boys working in pairs at & table. This meal, costing ea.ch boy ten cents, . Ort " •ne average DR3eu on a planned menu, the cost fig· ured, and the market order sent in, consisted of half a grapefruit, to.ast, bacon and. eggs or , cooked cei;eal, .,and coco11- prepared as the boys saw fit. These materials used are paid for by the boys. Some of the chefs-to-be, six in number, gave a Bpecial .demon· stration of w affles and pancakes,
coming in before ilchool and mixing the batter, then during class period making the pancakes and serving them. Jn unit 2, luncheon8 are t-aken up, mainly the types of food ap· propria.te for luncheons and how they fit into the menu. The first inquisition goes into the niain dish such as macaroni and cheese, or a like mainstay. .At the present time vegetables are on the want list 8Jld each boy select.I a vegetable and then prepares it in any suitable way he wants. Many of the boys ,11electe.d "frosted fresh" vegetable, which, although their p.rice i11 higher, are ·.much more economical as there is no waste. The vegetables that are liked the most are peas and, believe it or not, .spinach. Next comes salad3 and then. simple desserts, then, as in Unit 1, the boys prepare a complete luncheon.
The third unit at the 00urse hi taken up.· in very much the way as the first and 11econd only it deala with foods appropriate for 1 dinner. Principles In table setting and serving are taught along with the preparation of fooda. Because it is a labOratory course only 48 boys are accepted although twice as many apply. Thia course ia designed to teach boys how to choose foods both from .the lltandpoints Qf health and economy.

To the Editor: In last week's Advocate, April 10, Jim H a cker suggested a rubber rri.at of some kind on the tile floor around the swimming pool, just because some pupil was careless enough to run on wet tile. Of course, If you are going to flirt with danger, you're bound to be caught some t ime. The .assistants in the gY,m classes tell you not to run, so why put matting on the tile for some one who can't follow instructions. Besides, it would be harder to k eep clean a nd give more chances of dirt a nd disease starting. Victor Brooks. To the Editor:· While· the student council is doing a lot to k eep the school clean, students off the g rass, etc, w hy not pay some attention to the cqnd ition and cleanliness ot lockers ? Many. stude!'tS have visiting or ell!e 'permanent mice residents in their Jockers. Others have lockers that are in llU~h ; poor condition that i! they accidentally drop a pencil in their locker , it disappears, not mys· t eriously, just down a rather large hole in the bottom. (Not ventilation facilities, either.) And still, there is the occupant who is . so messy that he or she just can't t ake time to clean out a space about one foot square. Paper s , m aga zines, and old lunches, ha ving long ago acquired the smell of rotten garbage, oc· c upy · the ~tt~.m tloor. Mittens, &Carts and, if the student was in J oy Night, · probably pa rt.s of his or h er costume are a lso in the locker.
the lockera which have such dilapidated Jocks and hinges that it is almost impossible to open the locker without jamming, kicking, or even . trying to pick the lock with a bobby pin . (which fortunately, rarely happens.) A solution to this probiem may be to have a committee investigate every locker · each six wee ks. This could be done by having a special day set aside for Inspection of lookers. Naturally, there would be disadvantages as well a• advantageB; but could they not be worked out until a satisfactory method is developed? .Janice Ogden.
To the Editor : There is, among the t eachers of Lincoln high, a practice that Jiot only imposes hardships upon the pupils, but is actua lly unfair t o them. This practice IS that of giving t ests on a ny particular day that they choose. Not that pupils aren't as well informed. on Wedn esday as on Friday, but that many times more than one test falls on one day. When this happens it is the pu· pil who must pay, because he m~y want to have a good review on the subject. he is t o be tested on. Why, then should he have to spend half the night before reviewing two subjects when either test might just: . as well be on one day a.s the next ? Rega rdless of the theory that pupils should be able to take a · test ort any of his subjects a t any time; we ·all r ealize that some reviewing is .necessary to ma ke a good r ecord in a t est. Would it not be more sensible to have tests a lwa ys given in the order that final .examinations are, first period t ests on Mon day, second · period t est.s on Tuesda y, etc? Of course small daily quizzes n eed not be sacrificed in order to give this added bit of protection to the pu· p~li.
I! thi1 pl&n ie worthy of th• attention of . the faculty, I sincerely hope that it will be taken into consideration. Paul Sehupbach.

The former h a nd book was pocket size and contained important facts concerning school, fac• ulty and clubs.

To prove the fact that your high school' record is invaluable, that boy's record has an influence on the position he is trying to obtain today. In a Jetter received by 0 . W. Hackman, inquiries were made in regard to his conduct in class, his citizenship, and everything that really counts in securing a good jcib. Although it may sound unusual to ask about his character for twenty-seven years ago, in the type of position which is with the federal government, such material is considered.

That Lincoln high is the largest l!lchoel he has attended was admitted by Jean .Estes {a b6y), who hails from Sonoma Union high school i.n Sonoma, California, during an interview last Thursday. "Morino· junior high, in California, is nearly as big as Lincoln high," Jean said. "It. has about 2,500 pupils and, incidentally, it has the largest school cafeteria in the United States." Jean, who has attended 11 schools and has been in every state in the union except Washington and Wisconsin, has never before encountered a school which had a public address system. "Sonoma Union high school, which is about thirty miles north of San Franeisco, has a machine with which the principal makes records of his voice, and then h.a s ·them played in the rooms," Jean · related in a suave voice, "but other than that I have never heard of' a public address system in a 'school." Jean is now fifteen·, and is a second semester sophomore.

Home Economics Club Hears Mr. Ben, Stylist Mr. 'Ben, the hairdresser, spoke at the home economics club Monday, April 8. He demonstrated the proper method to apply makeup and gave some useful hints on harmonizing make-up with natural coloring. A plan, decided upon at the meeting, was that at future meetings of the club a guest speaker would talk, followed by a trip at the next meeting, alternating thus. The style show, which . was pre-sented Tuesday, April 9, in the high ·school auditorium, was spon· sored by the home economic• club.
Home Rooms Compile Promptness Record Auditorium .3 and. 8, 226C, senior home ,rooms, and qlO . junior, and 400, sophomore home rooms, lead the ·parade for not having a single tardy mark against them for the past four weeks.

·Lincoln Looks Good But Falters in ·P inches to Lose By Narrow Margin lleven misplayil afield cost Lineoln high and "Lefty" Glass a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Omaha. llouth Friday, .G lass was in beautiful form, allowing. only three hits ever the nine inning route, which was ™'.o extra innings, and striking out nine South batsmen. Lincoln got its lone tally when llhe!!ert opened ·the last half of the . third inning with a single to right field which started the rally. O 'Connor was safe at ffrst on a fielder's choice as Shelfert was thrown out at second. Glass was •afe at first on Conway's error as O'Connor went to third. Jennings then drove O'Connor home with a 1ingle over second base. South tied the. count in the first ef the ·seventh when Hornig, who replaced Fora .when the latter was injured, singled, stole second, and moved to third on O'Connor's error, then scored .o n a ba ll which was partly a wild pitch and a passed ball. Errors Decide Winning Run.
Omaha South scored .its winJl.ing run in the ninth when Heyde was safe on an error, advanced to second on an infield out, travelled to .third on an infield bobble, and scored on McCauley's sacri· fice fly to left field. Lincoln went down in order in the last of . the ninth. Gla111, Lovell, Jennings Sparkle.
. For Lincoln, Lovell and J ennings·, besides "Lefty" Glass, played outstanding ba ll. Lovell threw a man out at home on a beautiful throw, and caught a line d rive on the r un to double a South base runner off second base. All during the game Jennings played the outstanding game at first base, which he usually turns in, .besides driving in L incoln's lone run.

Sports Chatter Thinking that he had only sprained his ankle during a track team workout while throwing a discus, Bob H olman, junior, proceeded also to throw the shot put and javelin. After the practice was over he also had further exercise by walking home, which was 22 blocks. He later found that he had broken his foot and ankle in four places. This will :inake It nee· essary for him to wear a. cast until the middle of May. Among the players' contracts on hand for the Fairbury Ban Johnson basepall club this year are two Links and one ex-Link. They are Floyd Wilkinson, Gayland Glass and Joe P artington, '39. Spring training will begin April 21 under . the new manager, Von Price. Bob Vogelsang, '33, and Ascension Gonzales, sophomore, r ecently won decisions at Hastings in t he American Legion boxing show. Bob won over Maynard Porth of H astin gs in a 150-pound bout while Gonzales edged out Snuffy Stansbury of York in a 115 pound f ray. Merriam Mann, senior, and J ack Wyman, January se nior , were runners up in the· mixed doubles of the city t able tennis tournament. Golf aspirants have until today to turn in t heir lowest scores to determine the team. Richard Spo• mer, senior, has tur n ed in the b est score to date, an even 80 which he got Saturday. Paul H yland and Bernard Mortenson are n ext w ith a n 82 each. Tom Dworak is third with two 84's. Umpire Soukop, who called the balls and strikes in. the Omaha South game, took th e. worst beating this column h as ever seen administered to an umpire. Once he was k nack ed completely off his feet by a foul ball, a nd on several occasions was hit very hard, either on his mask or stomach protector. ''Lefty" Glass is the hard luck pitcher on the Lincoln high squad, h aving more hard luck than all the rest of the players p ut to· gether. Last Thursday Mueller gave Glass a seventy cent bottle of liniment· to put on his arm. "Lefty" had just got the bottle in his h ands and the bottom of the box fell open breaking the bottle into a thou sand pieces. To t op it off, he pit ched a beautiful three hit ball game Friday, only to be beaten by one run. According to t he latest announcement by Ed Weil'; h ead t rack coach at University of Nebraska , five Lincoln high boys h ave won t heir F ull-Blue nu.m erals, and e ight boys have won their Half-Blue n umerals. To earn a Full-Blue numeral a boy must have at least 24 points m ustered in Intra -squad activity, while 12 .points earns the Half-Blue. Winning Full-Blue a re Gordon Hall, Mel Johnson, Wilbur Lebsack, Bill Pierson and Cob Weygint. Half· Blue winners are Elwood Barnes, George Bronstein, Max Fensler, Bill Koch, Chet Porter, H enry Reich a l and D ale W ismer. A t ennis tourna ment to determ ine the four places on the tea m got under way this week.

Long Lost Book Revealed When Lockers Moved In 1926 someone lost a book and paid the fine for it. Last w eek some lockers were moved in the school, and behind the old lock ers la y that book. It was sent' to the bindery and came back rea dy for use aga in. Every year 4,000 to 7,000 books are sent to the bindery to be fixed. App roximately 25,000 text books a re in the book room during the summer, onethird of which are English books. Books dating as far b ack as 1907 to 1909 are found in t he book room and; though being a little fragile, they a re s till usable. Ervin Landegren is the person who · a lso has charge of all the school papers a nd m aps. Eight thousand to 10,000 m aps are sold to studen ts each year. Mr. Lan· degren a lso spends three weeks, after t he f irst of each semester, in collecting fees. Lost and found articles are found in t he bookroom also. "Call for lost articles more than once," says Mr. Landegren, "sometimes they may not be turned in u n t !l sever al d a ys after t.h e article has been lost." Mr. Landegren h as be en with L incoln high school sin ce 1930, and w orked part time from 1927 to 1930. So many books do not influence his reading. "All I see is the backs of books. I know the names and author s, but other than that I know little about them because I haven't t ime to read." The book room is open from 8 o'clock until 12 o'clock and from 1 o'clock until 4 o'clock every ,11chool day.

The Weather Temperature reached a record IJigh in 107 last week. At least that's what one of the new hall caretakers thought when he took the daily thermometer reading. It seems that several members of the class noticed that each morning for six weeks he'd first gone to the wrong side of the door to find the thermostat; so they rigged up a fake thermometer with the red line run· ning indefinitely towar.d the roof. The joke was on the custodian when he tried to reach the theromoter, but he laughed with the class like a regular fellow. P. S.: He knows on what side to look now.
Ratings to Be Revised Again At 12 Weeks New Marking Method · To Include Excellent, }'ailing, Satisfactory, And Unsatisfactory A revision originated by Miss Florence Jenkins and Miss Eulalie. Bratcher, has been made on the report slips for the twelve weeks' marks. Ratings have been changed to excellent, satisfactory, unsatisfactory and failing. This takes the place of those recently adopted. To make the slip more personal, the pupil's name is used in direct address to the parents. On the back of the report will be eighteen items for the teacher to check. Some of the phrases are changed to better form. Number three, "Be more attentive to the work of the class," has been changed to "Give more concentrated attention in class." Number six, which was "Take part in class discussions" is now, "Take part in class discussions more frequently." Number ten, "Devote more time to study out of class" h·as been changed to "Review frequently.' A sixteenth suggestion has been added, which is -"Make better use of the class period." To the right of each of these sentences is a blank which the teacher fills in at the twelve weeks. It tells in what ways the student has improved. · Thus, the student will not only know which things he has to improve in, but also the ways in which he has im· proved.

Assemblies Hear Junior Play Skit To give an idea of the junior play, "The Youngest," which- is to be presented Friday night, April 26, a. ·group of nine juniors presented a "Who am I" radio sketch, Monday, . tor double assembly. With Elmer Sprague as Professor Zuiz, master of ·ceremonies for the program, the act consisted of questions and answers concerning the junior play. The class consisted of firve contestants played by -Lawrence Jones, Winifred King, Betty Jane Blackburn, Franklin Snapp and Jane Newman; announcer, Bill Todd; engi· neer, Bill Wendland; business manager, Arthur Shmale; Lena, Virginia Koenig, and Oscar, Al· bert Johnson. For A .a ssembly Vera Salzman sang; for the B assembly Elaine Lebsack sang.
.Junior Play Not Outdone by Seniors; Dog and Ca.t to B·e iVeinbers of Cast Not to be outdone by the seniors who · had a large German Poli~e dog in the cast of their last play, the juniors include among their actors, who are going to pesent "The Youngest" April 26, a small dog and a cat. While neither has ever appeared in a public performance before, various members of the cast have given assurance that it is very unlikely that _either will have stage fright, thus_ assuring us of the finest of performances. However, there is another angle. As you very likely know, cats and dogs don't mix. If the cat or dog should get loose behind scenes, a battle will probably be forthcoming. · If this should happen, the cast has been inst:r.1icted as to just what positions to take and will undoubtedly "ad lib" until the fracas can be stopped.
Rehearsals had been going very smoothly, tha:t is until the aforementioned dog. was brought in to do its- part in the play and the mob was given its. chance to work for the "Class of '41. Yes, you've 'guessed, there was much confusion. What with the. dog's whining · and the over enthusiastic mob cheering wildly, the poor · actors didn't have a chance to get a word in edgewise. All this happened without .a cat, . so when "pussy" is added to the cast don't be surprised If you Sile fUr and some hysterical actor,!J in the halls of dear oid L. H. S. some time this week. Mix a dog, a cat, a mob, some actors and some very · hard work all together, and what have you? You've -gtiessed it again, the juniors presenting "The Youngest" April 26 at 8:15.
N. U. Entrance Requirements Being Revised Vocational Committee Aims to Cope With New Occupations By Changing Curriculums · Unifying the high school curric· . ulum and the changing entrance requirements of University of '_l\l'ebraska, is the aim of the faculty vocational committee which has been working on this project since last fall. Miss Alice B. Beynon ls chairman. Because of l:h c inadequac,y of the old curriculum chart, a new revised one 'has been compileif, T .h is committee hopes that with the aid of the _new guide, junior high· pu• piis can arrange their curriculums so.they can go through high school and prepare for university with little or no 'change in their curriculums, majors and minors·. New Chart Helps Pupils. With the ·appearance of new occupations, necessity of revision was intensified. 'l'he new chart aims, for the most part, to give pupils subjects that will help them equip themselves for their c_h osen work and to take care of the eternally changing field of occupa• tions. Sometimes, due to the lack of knowledge of the senior high requirements, pupils may, by using the old chart, take subjects entirely unnecessary for their course. In addition to the other aims of the changed guide it is hoped to help the pre-high school adviser in aiding pupils in respect to their high school course of study. Committee ·Explains Work. In explaining the work of the new changes the committee states, "The curriculum and cours·e taken in Lincoln high school should have direct bearing on the vocational interests and abilities of the pupil, In junior high, pupils have inves• t igated occupational possibilities and tentatively made their own ··--v ocational p1'efE'renge~ __T!J,e fol·__

Sound Film Run For B Assembly A sound film, "The River," was shown to Lincoln high students at a n . assemply, Tuesday morning by a member of the information division of the Farm Security Ad· ministration. This film revealed the destruction of the home!! of thousands of persons, orphaned or made homeless by the relentless . flood waters. The spring and. fall floods were. made especially effective ~y the sound effects-rescue boat whistles, sirens and bells along with music suited to make .o ne natUrally sink into the mood of the scenes flashed upon the screen. But the picture ended in a pro· gressively encouraging note, show· ing the dams, reforestation, crop systems and controlled water tor power, also the model homes set. up for thD!le left homeless by the floods.

Links to Contain Much Advertising In view of the success of a dver· Using in previous books, the Links board has decided to give the business men of Lincoln the opportunity to be represent ed in this year's books. W ith sixteen pages or more of advertising in the annual, the salesmen, John "Duke" Eberhart, William Loeffel, Eleanor Robinson, James Townsend and Rachael Ann Lock, are launching their selling campaign in earnest. The adde d section is the first since the 1936 issue of the Links. Great interest has been aroused over the mystery surrounding the varied - pictures and the numbers adjacent to them on the blackboard of. some rooms. This is the estimate of how many LHS pupils are represented by. p ictures in the Links. Since this estimate is subject to change, the numbers are represented by plus signs indica ting more than is written. Therefore the number 2143 which is r epresented in room 205,. indicated that more than 2143 persons are represented by camera shots. Roy Erickson, Turney Sharrar, Eloise Fricke, Dorothy Black , Bet ty Brinkman, Joanna Radke and James Kelso put the signs on t he board. The second candid camera day, sponsored by the Links was a huge success and many excellent shots have been submitted according to the Links board. Roy Ericks.on has been appointed to the Links staff in the cap a city of an artist. Roy who is doing t he lettering for t he Links, is a member of art club, has been an officer of the club and ha.a participated in Joy Night.

Signs Placed on Campus For Reason: To Be Obeyed "Pl ease. ". Th ese small signs · which you

eourte~y c~mpa1gn, but they are a polite way
of saymg Keep off the grass.'' It should be the ai~ of the student body to ~ave a campus to which they can point with pride and the best way to obtain such a campus is _to use the sidewalks. exclusively. During t~e wmter ~any persons have made a pr~c tice o-f cuttmg corners and ther eby forming a path across the lawn and also breaking down the hedge. Both the path and the broken hedge detract from the school. Ii everyone would vow to take the extra 5teps necessary to go around on the walk especially by the southwest entrance t he gras~ would soon cover the bare spots. "Remember me 's " are very easy solution to this problem. These much neglected receptacles should catch all remnants of lunches and outcast class papers. With the cooperation of student and :faculty, Lincoln high 's Co.mpus will look better than before.
Idea of School Flag Gives New Objective to Students Of what value would a school fla g be 1 First, a school flag would be a standard of the attainments of Lincoln high s chool in education; an emblem . of the powers of Lincoln high school in outside . activities; a sign of t he achievements of Lincoln high school pupi:ls, in the past, in the present, or in the futli-re. Second, from the design of a school flag, a school seal could be adopt ed. Surely our school could easily use a seal to put on various ty-pes of certificates, diplomas and official doc'l!lments 01" papers. Third, a school flag would be an emblem of ottr school of champions, for surely it 1s just that. The procedure of adopting just such a. flag would be quite simple. The design of t he flag- being the most important part-should undoubtedly be very plain and easily r ecogn izable. .A committee of student council members is now working upon t he idea. Surely an agitation on the part of the stud ent body would be a definite aid in securing this objective- a school flag.
Watch Out I or Agents From Quack Schools Students beware! Beware of an agent or an advertisement fr om a ' ' quack vocat ional gchool. " Two Lincoln high graduates, that a re known of, have already encountered representatives of th ese schools. The schools may be found disguised as reputable correspondence schools, private trade institutes, and other ty pes of vocational schools with courses by mail or by night. Their salesm en come with big pr omi11es of jobs- "Thousands of men could be employed now, if employers could get them . 'Ko special 1chooling requir ed. Six months' work at most." The most popular field used now is air conditioning. Ot hers that invite "suckers" are Diesel engines, neon light, television, aviation and many more. If one would ask the advice of teacher, an employment agent, consult a book of vo· cational advice or some other reputable source b efor e "giving his money away " to one of these schools, he would in all probability be r ightfully informed of the falseness in the adv ertisin g for these quack institutions. The school library .._and the Lincoln Better Business Bureau have information on many of these schools. There are more adverti sements for schools of air conditioning than there are advertisements for air conditioning, more people in schools for ma king Diesel engines tlian men employed makin g them. ' ' A re gional educational adviser ' ' is th e name a salesman from one of these schools uses.

"Well children the inevitable has ha_p. pened, James, my secretary, has asked for a. raise, giving for a reason ·that he has more dependents to support now that his dog has had pups.

They Who Sit in Driver's Seat of Our Governing Body Approve Traffic School Traific school is a marvelous idea, agreed Virginia Ford , Nancy Green and Ardis Lyman, members of the student council. Virginia stated, "Since no classes on driving . and driving rules are offered in our . high school, this type of after-school class will enable students to receive training not otherwise offered outside. of the city traffic school, . which is maintained for traffic offenders only." She also added , "Lincoln's effective traffic system and success in carrying it out has put Lincoln on the map nationally as a safedriving city." Nancy Green encourages a.11 to attend mainly because it teaches one exactly what to do m ease of .an accident.
"Too many people don't know the proper procedure to follow when in an accident and ·f or that r eason may lose compensation for an accident which was not their fault." "Many dr ivers do not :realize that an , officer should b@ · summ oned immediately after an accident if it is at all serious. If only of minor significance .it should at least be reported at the police station within a few hours of its occurence." i She a lso added, "Every :road marker is of a d-efinite shape, to meet the emergency. From a dist a nce . it is possible to determine what the sign means by its shape. Not many drivers realize that." Ardis Lyman kels that speed

The installation is about halfway finished now and at the present time coils of wire are projecting through holes in the walls of, rooms ready for attachment. About two-thirds paid for, the sound system will probably take the place of morning announcements. It also will make it possible for the pupils who aren't present at the assembhes to hear everything that goes on. But, in the near future, don't expect to hear a voice suddenly boom out, "Calling all students," for there will be a gong, buzzer or some sort of warning before a broadcast.

The film w,sually mts abowt ten or fifteen minutes and the students fairly swarm into the at1dit-0rium to see the picture which is continued from one day to the nel!-t. This makes it possible for those who work at night t-0 see ~e picture and a:t a !'educed price.

N. U. Professor Is "Find Yourself" Hi-Y Campaign Speaker George Darlingt on, professor of accounting at the University of Nebraska, spoke before t he all boy assembly. Thursday, April 17, on vocations, as part of the annual Hi-Y " Find Yourself" campaign. Impressing the necessity of being prepared for one's selected lifework, Professor Darlington analyzed numerous vocations, the qualifications needed f or success, and the rewards which different positions can offer. Psychiatrists; a ccording to the speaker, play an invaluable part in the correct sel'!ctions of vocations, by scientific , methods carefully testing one's apt itudes. Blanks, describing the six groups into which the participants in the "Fin<l Yourself" campaign will be , divided, were given to each member of the audience. These six groups wh1cn ruus,hly cover almos t all w ell-known vocat1u113 "'re mechanical and trades, arts and crafts, agricultural, Hterary and humanistic, scientific and commercial.
Mud Puppy Hibernates Happily in Room 401 Oscar, the salamander or commonly known as the mud puppy, ill now h ibernating in ,a jar of water, in room 401, the biology class under the supervision of Mrs. Gladys Temple,' along with many other strange and interesting plant and animal specimens. Wh~le Oscar is in the almost death like slee p, he eats nothing, but lives 'off the fat of his body.
When Oscar isn' t in captivity he sleeps most peaceably in the mud of some pond, pool or lake and o h weli, any s lushy-di rt just so he's deep enough down so he does not freeze dur;ng this inactivity. Salamanders' colors are very gay, the body colors bei ng black, red , and orange, a nd decorated w ith bright vermillion dots. A quaint custom of the newt , , is that it only comes out of mud until it rains or gets dampish, then out pops these queer little creature<: !<pr:i•.vling along roads or woodland paths. Years ago people thought that when it rained, these reptiles oame from the heavens.

But the cycle in the aquarium will continue, for the edification and interest of zoology pup ils, because boys have brought new eggs into the laboratory. The proper method of taking the pulse, temperature and respiration was shown '~o the girls of last week's hygiene classes by Miss Ethel Murray, the instructor of the course.

The a verage of the class w as found to be for pulse, seventy-two, for respiration, eighteen and for tem· peratuce 9£.6°.

Mark Sheffert and Bob Gropp set the Teachers down with three hits and
In. a meet featuring the 166 foot
f inch discus heave of Howard Debus, Lincoln high track team more than doubled the score on its
man in each event, won seven first markers and in nine events placed two men garnering a total of 73 points. Jackson, to the surprise of everyone, particularly Havelock, who last week swamped the Cards in a dual meet, was in second place with 32 2-3 points while Havelock and Crete were third and fourth with 27 and 211-3 points, respectively, The first outstanding feature hi;Jh hurdles made by Neihart of • Jackson while the second event to hold the limelight was the Hercu·lean heave by "Husky Howard" that broke all existing high school records. When first measured the distance was 166 feet 1 inch, but at a second measure, supervised by John "Cy" Yordy, the distance proved to be 5 inches farther. Johnson, Linder compete unattached.
Two of Lincoln high's crack track athletes, although competing unattached, which nullified all attem:pts, won their events. Mel Johnson, first of the unattachees, led the pack in the quarter-mile to turn in . the exceptional time of :14.3, while Bob Linder sailed over the bar at 10 feet 6 inches to win the pole vault unofficially. Most nerve-wracking of all, were the half-dozen mis-starts in the century finals which had both spectators and participants in a dither. Marshal Neihart of Jackson, winning first in both hurdle jaunts, high jump and a second in the broad-jump for 18 points, was the meet's high scorer. Lincoln; because of failure of one baton bearer to be at his post, lost a valuable lead in the 880 yard relay to place a poor third.

In the fall of 1941, Lincoln high may have a second great athlete named Debus because Howard's 13 year old brother, "Pete," who now attends Whittier junior high, plans on attending here and is going out for several sports. "Hard luck" Wilkinson is a good name
for
Floyd.
In the second
game of the regional basketball tournament, again.st Crete, Floyd pulled a ligament in his left knee and was on the injured list all during the state basketball tournament although he did play.

In the second inning with t wo men on base, Mark clouted the ball into deep left field for four bases. Lauer came to bat in Lincoln's big third inning with . two men on the bases and proceeded to hit the ball into deep left-center field for another home run. For Lincoln, it was the pitching and hitting of Sheffert and Gropp, and the hitting of Eddie Hall, Chick G<lrdon and Lauer that looked good. For the Teacher's high; it was, as usual, the play of the Danley brothers and Brown which was outstanding. ab r

His record in this event is the best record of any high school athlete in the United States. Debus last year picked up 17 points fol' Lincoln hig·h i;1 the state meet and should do even better this year. His events, in which he should press the records in each of them, are the discus throw, shot put, javelin throw and the pole vault. A discus throw of 159 f eet, 11 inches was sufficient for his selection on the team. T hose listed on the certificate are as follows: 100 yard run: Eddie Morri s, Huntington

Another week of sports activities has gone by, so let's see w hat is in the market for next week. If I'm not mistaken a few people
have
wdtten
letters to
the
editor asking for a table tennis tournament. After very much hard work on the part of the sports teachers, who secured table tennis tables and equipment to hold
a
tournament in Lincoln high, the do u b I es haven't started to play and all of the si ngles haven't been played. It is up to the people who have signed up for these games to get th em played. After all, the gymnasium teachers can't play the game for you. So let's get going and get this tournament over with and see who are the king and queen of table tennis.
Before signing off until next week would like to say that Miss Grace Ann Morgan left for Chicago Tuesday, April 23. She w ill attend the National Physical Education week. Miss Morgan will return Sunday, April 28. Miss Moroan's gymnasium classes are now playing volleyball. These classes are coming along very well. T.here is one less mouse tq get . into the locke rs now and the girls in the Monday, Wednesday and P:-riday, fifih period gymnasium class know the reason. Lillian "Bring 'Em Back Alive" Portsche was playing paddle tennis when she saw the little furry creature start across the floor. Immediately Lillian gave chase and after some clever maneuvering f ina lly caught the elusive creature in her hand . The only '~asua!ties were a number of frightened girls, one less mouse and a slightly bitten finger.
hits and Glass allowed Creighton ony five in a game which should have been much closer, but wasn't due to errors. Prep drew first blood in the first inning after Lincoln had gone down when Nocita.. got a hit and Henningsen walked. They both advanced on a sacrifice and scored errors. Prep scored again in the second when Hanna was safe on an error, was sacrificed to second, and scored on H enningsen's single, Lincoln sc.ored in the third in· ning when Sheffert and Glass wa lk ed and Jennings drove ·shef• fert home w ith a single. P rep scored three runs in the fourth inning on a walk, a fielder' ~ choice, a hit, an infield out and an error. Prep again scored two runs in the sixth inning when Nocita was safe on an error, Henningsen doubled scoring Nocita, and then scored Kranda's long fly. Lincoln got its other· run in the seventh when Phillips walked, ad· vanced to second on a wild pitch, and scored on Glass's hit. Cr e i g ht o n Pre p's whole team looked good while for Lincoln it was "Lefty" Glass and rookie Eddie Hall. Lincoln--

Mies Krallman explained the oral method of instruction as u~ed in Lincoln. It is almost in universal use today as opposed to the manual method of instruction, confined as it is to signs and finger spelling and limiting as it does the student to conversation with other deaf people only. The oral method is built around speech interpretation. Such interpretation has for its foundation lip reading, facial expression, or a combination of both. As a pupil progresses and a desire for speech is awakened, fig-
''A deaf child, because he does not hear the speech of other ·people, does not recognize that speech ls possible and accordingly will make very little effort to. develop it," l!!aid Miss Krallman. "In the early stages ·before education begins, the deaf subject does not even realize the cominon idea that he has a name. Great patience is needed, particularly in the early i!tages, on the part of both the. . pupil and the teacher." There are six students ranging from four to tifteen years of age attending the Lincoln deaf school. Sessions are held daily at the 1>rescott 111chool and the tuition is free-. This · school is supported jointly by the state and the city.

It is such heart-warming words that raise my spirits.
As I hand· over the r eins to a nothe r w riter, my faith is revived by that great old saying, " Keep plugging kid, we don"t think W inchell's .so hot either, and look what he is."

When Seeking Health "May day is health day." This slogan is being used nationally and· the whole month of May is being observed as a health month. In Lincoln high, good posture is being emphasized for its importance to. health. S t art in g today, sluinped shoulders, drooped heads, sunken chests, curved spines, and protrudi~g abdomens better watch out! 1f they are going to try to exist in Lincoln high, they will have a pretty hard t~me. Some of the m~in reasons for incorrect posture are caused by one or more of the foll~wing conditions ( a:s listed by a booklet on good posture and foot health entitled "Stand• ing Up to Life"): 1. Malnutrition and getting over-tired. 2.· Carelessness. 3. Holding one position for too long a time. 4. A wrong mental attitude (lack of self· confidence and self-respect) . fi. Misfitting garments, which continually push or puli the body out of' its right positio.n . . . . 6. Bad eye sight. A nearsighted person usually pushes his head forward to see ·more easily. Properly fitted glasses would improve his posture as well as his sight. . 7, Friot-arch troubles. A flat-footed person rarely walks or stands properly. . Nearly all of the above mentioned conditions could be corrected by a p erson himself. lri some cases the body is too weak to insure prope~ posture, if this is due to u11:derwei~ht it may he corrected when the patient gams more weight. Other conditions can be made right by exercising and forming better sitting, standing and lying positions. Types of shoulder braces and supports are inadvisable as they tend to relax the muscles so that they are incapable of doinng their job when the braces -are removed. Wrong posture. can crowd or misplace the organs within the body and serious conse· quences may develop. ThE) lungs are sometimes hi.ndered by a slumping position so that they cannot expand to their full capacity. With posture posters, an assembly .on the tqpic and a lot of informative booklets in your home room teachers' hands, the campaign gets underway. Do your part in making it successful by co-operating in every way~see that you have good posture for good health.

"They then called a doctor w}lo had t o take eleven s titches over my eye and set my finger." "Wilma was not hurt and wrui of considerable assist ance t o the doctor in helping him administer novicane."

Open Forum To the Editor : I am speaking for m yself and for most of the boys who eat in the Lincoln .high cafeter ia the last t wo lunch periods. The boys hav e 7 tables and the girls have 52. We aren 't k icking about being crowded or anything, at least w_e wouldn't if the girls would stay on their own side. Usually there a re at least two of our tables taken up by gir ls when there is plent y of room on t heir side. If the girls sit where the boys should, t hen t here are always a couple or three boys who hav e to sit with the girls.

Early Romans Celebrated 'May Day' By Honoring Goddess of Flowers 'Gentlemen a nd ladies, We wish you happy Ma y ; We come to show you a g arla nd,
Beca use it is Ma.y Day. - So the E nglish greeted the "Merrie Month of Ma y."

The Rom ans h onored F lora, goddess of flowers, d uring t his per iod of festivity . But May Day, Maypoles, and Morris dancers really thr ived in "Ye Olde E ngland." On Ma y Day eve, r ur al peasants placed a bra nch and bowl of milk on the door step to bring the kind promises of good-nat ured fairies. A peal of t en bells ushered in t he m orn and choristers added to the festivities in Oxford. Then all r anks of people went out "a -Maying,"- to the hills and dales, to pick bouquets, g a rla nds and wreaths. The heig ht of festivity wa.s r eached · in t he crowning of the "queen of May" and the dancing a round t he Maypole. P ersons with sprig s of H awthorne in their hats crowded to these cer emonies.
The Church of England approved of t hese merry activities on May Day but objections were of fered by t he Pur it ans and during t he reign of the Commonwealth all celebrat ing was sup pressed.

To Bewildered Would Be Picnickers and Outers, Recreational Board Is Aid Do you know t hat you can bor· row balls and ba ts for a ga me of "Choose up ·Sides" when you go on a picnic t his sprin g ? Do you know you can h ave someone help you plan entertainm ent for a picnic or a party at no charge? James C. Lewis says he and his staff w ill h elp you do a ny or all of this. Mr. Lewis has a s members of his board, M.' C. Lefler , superintendent of schools, and W. A. R obbins, pr esiden t of t he school board, with J . Stanly Welch a s chairman of the board.

"Though I do believe in compulsory gymnasium for boys I do not think it is n ecessary fo r girls. No person derives m uch good from something he is forced t o take.

Advertising Natural Field for W oinen, Expert Advises Club Copy-Writing and Art Openings for Those Talented or Interested In Business Subjects "Advertising," a natural field for women, where they are readily accepted, was the subject of an illustrated talk given by Miss Bernice Clark, assistant to the advertising manager at Miller & Paine, at the business girls club, April 22. Dividing advertising into two phases, copy-writing and commercial art, Miss Clark went on to explain different branches under each. Among the many fields open for writers is fashion columning and writing for advertising agencies, which is varied and interesting. Retail St<>res Offer Opportunities For those talented in art, pattern staffs, manufacturing forms and retail stores offer great opportunities. Stressing reporting as a good preparation for advertising, Miss Clark continued, "Typing, shorthand and experience in related fields such as printing shops, selling in different departments of stores, together with a high school and preferably a college education make a well-rounded preparation for this field. "Salaries range from twelve dollars a week to sixty thousand dollars a year," Miss Clark said, as 1he concluded, "The rewards are very high, if you are ambitious."

Anybody Can Learn to Drive; Dual Controlled Car Prevents Accidents At the first glance, one thinks he is "seeing things." But it really and truly is a dual control car. As explained by Glen W. McClain, special agent for an insurance company, it is a safety driver's training car designed t o make better drivers and to prevent accidents. "The size of the car is exactly the same as any car, with the exception of the interior," the interv iewer stated. "This automobile uses the airplane industry's method of teaching by dual control. With dual brake and clutch pedals, steering wheels and accelerators, it is possible for the instructor, who sits on the right, to take control of the car if t he pupil, s itting on the left, becomes excited." Traveling over the state of Nebraska, stopping at numerous .schools and clubs in many cities, this car is now widely known, Mr. McClain stated. In the United

Vl' h en asked if it would come to L in coln high, he replied, "We hope to be able to make t he same demonst rations at the school, but so far. nothing definite has been planned." In conclusion Mr. McClain wishes t o emphasize the statement printed in the pamphlet concerning the dual-control car. "A new generation of automobile drivers is growing up in our midst. If those interested in safety education can teach this group t he proper attit ude the driving and handling of an automobile, the accident frequency will be materially reduced."

p ublicity. Miss Carrie K ing; visiting tea cher, spoke of the his tory and activity of her work. Miss King s t a t ed that from almost t he beginning of educational activity :in this count ry the question of t he "problem child" ha d been in the minds of educat ors, but it was not until 190l:i t hat the first organized activity in t his direction was u nderta ken and this by s chool authorities in New York Cit y. Lincoln schools approached this problem and its investigation
as a definite part of their program in 1921. "This investigation is for the pu rpose of being able· to isola t e the p r oblem or cause that is contributing to the maladjust ment and then a ttempt to remedy explained.
~t,'-'
she
Through t he eyes of Miss King and the school faculty, childr en who are maladjusted may be classed as follows: t he child not working up to his capacity, ' child failing in his schoolwork, one who. is retarded ·and becomes a class m isfit and fails to make adequa t e social adjustment, the disobedient and delinquent type and -perhaps
t he most serious of all, the wlth• d ra wal type. Investigation of t he various p r obl ems a~most invariably leads t he visiting tea cher into the home f or t h e a ids t ha t may be obtained by a frank discussion of t he child with t he parents w ith th e further opport unity g iven to t he t eacher to make a personal and p r ivate investig·a t ion a t t his time of t he s ocia l, economic and emotional en· · v ironment in the home. This in· vestigation is follow ed by a diag• nosis of t he case. Plans a r e t hen made· for necessar y changes a nd fina lly an a t tempt is made to put such ch anges into force. Miss King declared, " Child a t titude is mor e 'e asily changed than. a ctivi ty. Any peculiar a ttitudes can be cured m or e easily if t hey are noticed at a n early stage a nd remedial measures taken." A case history of a cer t ain boy reads as follows: He was failing in his s chool work, se emed t o lack intere s t and had withd1-awn f rom
social contacts w ith his fellow stu d~nts. Investigati~n d~veloped tha t unwillingness of his. com panions l o play baseball with him brought about his socia l retirement. -A check ()f their unwillingn ess to play w ith him br ought ou the information that he just couldn't catch the ball.

Lincoln High In Three Games This Week Lincoln's baseball schedule for the next four days shows three games, two at home and one away. Utica comes here today to play its game postponed from last Friday. Bob Gropp has drawn the pitching assignment for this afternoon's fray. Thursday the Red and Black have only a practice session on hand. "Lefty" Glass has drawn the pitching· as sign m en t against Plattsmouth there Friday. From early reports Plattsmouth is supposed to have one of the strongest teams in the state. They have their entire pitching staff returning this ye::.r, a staff which from advanced rumors is good. Saturday, Omaha Tech comes to Lincoln to eng·age the Links. The Techsters have an above average squad this year. Mark Sheffert is going to pitch for the Red and Black.

Baseball Favorite Pastime All Over the World Oh take me out to the ball game. I want to see the sport America likes best, the national game of the United States, baseball. The thrills and spills in sports you hear so much about come largely from this conquering sport. Conquering because it has rapidly spread through the United States and the world. In the Philippine islands baseball was introduced among the Ignorotes as a substitute for head-hunting. Soldiers take the honor for introducing baseball in all parts of the world. It was even thought at one time that an international league on the continent would estblish friendship and help p revent warss. Popular? You said it, even our fine feathered friends like baseball. Did you ever hear about the pigeon that played shortstop for the left fielder in the World Series of 1933 ?The bird had a favorite spot on the field and it refused to move from there in spite of the efforts to chase it away, to the amusement of the onlookers. Oddities in this sport are numerous. Some great players pick up hair pins and treasure them claiming they mean base hits. One well known outfielder ea"St glass bulbs as a pastime. Then there was the player that ran right through the fence trying to catch a fly ball.

cag·o last week. By attempting to climb out of the pool the wrong way, a girl in the Thursday morning swimmini;i class caught her knee in the splash gutter and remained there until first aid came. After soaping the leg and knee for quite awhile she was able to si i p out. At a pool elsewhere a person was caught in much the same way. To remove the person, the tile around the pool had to be removed. I suggest you follow the suggestions of your instructors in how to get out of the swimming pool. Serious accidents can happen and do happen in the swimming pool but don't you think It is mainly due to carelessness? So let each and everyone of us be careful! If it ever stops raining all the girls that are whizzes in golf and tenms should get out their clubs and rackets and start hitting those balls. In the early part of May the golf and tennis tournaments are coming up. Better start getting ready.. The life saving class which is open to all Lincoln . high school girls, is also open to high school girls living in the suburbs of Lin· coin. This class meets every Monday and Wednesday and is under the capable leadership of Miss Bessy Grossman and Miss Mary Jean Westcott. Both are uni;versity students.
Lincoln high golfers won their second match of the season at the York college high school invit~. tional golf meet Saturday afternoon at York. The Red and Black had a total s core of 166 through the efforts of Don Tucker and B emie Mortensen who shot an 82 and 84 respectively. The order for the other finishers was Aurora, 170; Albion, 176; and York. 185. Don Tucker of Lincoln won medalist honors, Parris -Of Aurora was second and Bernie Mortensen took third in a three way playoff. Lincoln also defeated York high school in a dual match by the score of 9 % to 2 Y2. Bernie Mortensen, Don Tucker, and Dick Spomer each won three points and Paul Hyland one-half a point.

Lincoln's play was still a ragged, not-up-to-ability type m spots. Seward came up with numerous freak catches. Lincoln scored two runs in the first inning and Seward came back to make good three runs, two of which were made when Wait, who played more football than baseball, collided with Jennings. The two runs were marked up when Jennings was injured. Seward Scores in Fourth. Seward had its big inning in the fourth, scoring four runs. Lincoln came back to produce one run in t he sixth and four in the seventh to force the game into extra innings. Two of the runs came home when Daniel hit a double with bases loaded.

Latest Fashions Are Displayed In Assembly • Clothing Classes Give Show With 35 Girls By Modeling Several Kinds of Garments
"Oh me, if I could only sew," was the· familiar remark of the girls after seeing the style show presented by Miss Marjorie Tye's clothing classes, Tuesday at an all girls assembly. Stage setting was tha t of a large ivory book with "Fashion Flashes" printed on the cover and at each side was a small white picket fence an.d a deep basket of flowers. As the book cover was opened by two pages, Mary Ellen Beachley and Cecelia Will, dressed iri ,purple and white corduroy military costut1'1es, five book pages were revealed which had the title of the division of clothing at the top. Thirty-five girls modeled their own garments in the following sections: School Dresse•. Jean Bennett Barbara Dworsky Helen Christopulos Maurine Crawford Ada.laide Kloepper Patricia Kimball Vera Mae Johansen A ftemoon Dresses. Iona Jensen Irene Dittcnber Ono Beth O'Connell Roxana Brown B etty Harris Eleanor Jensen Lola Wagner Sult•. Phyllis Robinson Marian Barthuly Barbara Flory Mary Ann Maahs Doris Cratsenberg Margaret Koupal Kathryn J.o nea Play Clothe•. Ann Willmann Ruth Mary French Winitred King Barbata Howley Monica Ann Alberty Jeanne Barney Eileen Brady Graduation Dresses. Edith Boling Joyce J unge L ydia Bastron J a ne Fenton· Alice Bates
A formal dress was modeled by .:Arlene RentZsch. As each girl stepped from the pages, two narrotors, Jane Fenton and Polly Parmele, dressed in white graduation dresses, commented on the garments and accessories, placing special emphasis on why the costume was becoming to its owne r. Although the styles varied from soft feminine ruffles, and :fullness to t ailored costumes, all were in keeping with this year's fashion trends. Pastel colors were used almost entirely which gave the show a "springy'; note. The background of music was furnished by Janet Wetzel. Miss Marjorie Tye, Mrs. Katherine Henninger and Miss Ethel Murray were sponsor s of the style ahow.

Most People Oppress Feet; How're Yours Though feet may lack some of the appeal of a bathing beauty or a sleak handsome masculine face and t hough . Garbo hides hers and Robert Taylor limps, ne'eertheless we poor humans would be in quite a plight without our "tootsies." So much is said in some no~ quite so short shoes now adorning the showcase in front of the office, and should brow-beat even the most avid foot-squeeze into giving his doggies a chance. · In other words, children, · don't squeeze your feet into a size 5 special when they'd better fit the box. One group is composed of the old American school girl standby, the saddle shoe, moccasin and the t ennis shoe, a ll labeled as health shoes. The highheeled shoes, those fugitives from the health books, make up the rest of the display, together · with products of the nineteenth century regime in footwear. A pair of French wooden .kloppers were loaned by Miss Ethel Murray who, incidentally doesn't wear them.

Advocate Reporter Gets Wet News Here is proof that the A dvoca te r eporters a re resourceful. J eanne Bowers was s ent to Miss Grace Morgan's gymnasium class to get news for the Girls Sports column. On her return, Jeanne's ha ir w as extremely wet and stringy. J eanne explained that she had been swimming . When asked the reason why she had gone in swimming, she r eplied, "Miss Morgan was in t he pool, so in order to get my desired infor· ma tion I went into the pool after her."
Miss Morgan Tells of Meeting; Says Physical Instructors Play Main Part F illed with a gr eat rriany n ew ideas which she received at the na tional convention of the American Association for H ealth, Physical Education and Recreation, Miss Gra ce Morgan, who r ecently re turned from Chicago, w as just bursting to tell all and try out all the plans which she obta.i ned. "Books which I had studied while taking physical education work a t the University of Nebraska, we re in evidence at the hotel in t he form of human beings, who were a uthors of the texts. Many of these a uthors were people who a ppea red on the convention program, " she expla ined. She attended meetings · ea ch morning a nd aftern oon which deal t with different phases of physical education . "Campinf;" w as one which w as led by HecJwig S. Dimock. H e told of the ·new advances in camp li:f'.e · for tb e 40's. "First ," he said, "carr'1ps should be made places wheri'~ one can practice democratic Wving . Second, camps should bf: integrated as norma l phases of community life." Miss Morgan alsc1 went to a "dance and wome n's athletic" meeting wh ere girls h ·om five different colleges presen ted the n eeds
of youth to.d ay. Men and women representing such n ational agencies as the Y. W . C. A., C. Y. 0., Girl Scouts and m any others attempted to show how their "particula r organization is set up to m eet t hese n eeds. "They were simply wonderful.'' excla imed Miss Morgan. "They got up before the large audience a nd didn't even t remble!" The m eeting which Miss Morgan enjoyri.t most was "teacher's training ," where a n a ddress was given by R. R. Martin, departm'2nt of sociology, of Hamlin .uni. versity. His topic was "What preparation should physicai' education teachers receive in order to prepare them adequa t ely to function as a factor in the social development of individual students?" "Physical edu cation t ea ch er s are in a position to w ork for three specific outcomes in students," he said. "First, a consciousness of human dignity (to be done by a t eacher who h erself has dignity) . Second, personality traits that lead to right behavior. Third, one who can help students to know how to blend themselves in society." He said that physical education teacher s should help train for dem-
ocratic living, but when winning ill placed first, the p rinciples of democracy are violat ed. Miss Morgan told of a N e· b raska tea where she met many of h er former clas smates who had attended the university. "I was also appointed on a committee of four, ·w ho wer.e to bring flow ers t o the national president," she r evealed. "We went t o h er suite of r ooms on t he twentythird floor of the Stevens h otel. From one side of a room, which was glass, one could get a mag· nificent view of Lake Michigan." "But the hig hlig ht of the whole convention wa s the ba nquet att ended by more tha n 700 persons," said Miss Morgan . "The two outstanding things were first, the music furnished by the e lectric organ thruout t he meal and second the dessert, "Ice Cream Fantaisie Stevens Illuminated." "This in understandable terms," explained Miss Morg an, " consisted of large oval gla ss covers under which was a colored light and on t op w as a two-tiered mold of ice cream of many different colors. All ot her lights in .the ball l'oom were exting uished a nd 100 waiter s wel'e .weaving in and out with these illuminated 'fa.nta isies.' All this was very impressive :"

Student Officials Are Gauge of Student Body May 14 the student body will be called upon to choose students to represent them in governmental affairs. The ones they choose will certainly represent the type of government they want to be carried on. The student council and home· room representative bodies are not sinecures. Each year they are called upon tO give their opinions on vital and important matters, These opinions represent more than just the feelings of the individual members. They should and can represent the feelings of each class, each home room, and each individual in the school. Student council members should represent each type of student in the school as well, not all of them debaters, nor all of them athletes. Representatives voted for by the individual · will be a g·uage of the ideal of that individual. If the better class of voter, whatever it may be, does not vote for the consequently better type of representative, it may be assured th~t the worse type will initiate by its votes their type of representative and administration. Students who stand by their convictions and refuse to agree for convenience's sake alone, students who have ideas whether agreeable to p1,evious ones or not ; these should be the logical choices. Every member of the student council and everv member of the home room representative body has a definite purpose to fill, that of representing his student body as a mediator for faculty and students. It is not an honorary position, nor one to be used as -unfair influence on the faculty for the individual member. · When the home rooms and individuals vote :for their representatives next Tuesday, they will indicate their choices. :May they be good ones.

Open Forum To the Editor: Recently I visited the high school which I once attended, and what caught my eye was that the corridors were free from paper. When I look at the corridors of Lincoln high, I see papers littered here and there, and I feel that we cannot be compared favorably to high school pupils when it comes to being thoughtful. I am sure the majority of us do not throw papers on the floors or under chairs at home. We live there and like to have everything clean; therefore, there is no reason why we should not keep the ·school clean, because we live here part of the day.

Conduct of SchoolAudience Rests With Each of Us In a .review of the junior play in one of the city papers was this paragraph. ''Miss Oltman and Kennedy deserve special notice for overcoming· a severe handicap when they brought their love affair to a climax with the expected embrace-to the accompaniment of laughter, whistles and applause from their schoolmates in the audience. Under those conditions, such theatrical poise as they displayed is truly remarkable.'' This paragraph, written by a Star reporter, appeared in the review of "The Youngest" in the Lincoln Star. It might give the audience an idea of what other people thing of our actions in attempts to "be funny." We should be ashamed that our students can give more mature performances than we are capable of appreciating. · With the recent pl'esentation of the junior play, came more childish behavior and poor sportsmanship on the part of a few in the 11.1-1dience during· the one love scene. We may not realize that we really are all to blame, but a muffled laugh or snicker, that murmured ''oh-oh" to our closest neighr1or, the slightest whistle that escapes us, the whispered remarks as "some technique!" "gee, lvhat a pair!" ''did they do that in all the reheusals ~'' and many others make all the confusion. We think it's only the "show-offs" with loud, pointless remarks, whistling and boisterous laughter that cause the confusion and disgraceful conduct of a high school audience-but it is combined with all of our remarks, however slight or however loud they may be, to make the usual din during a love scene in a school play. Everyone knows that there is a certain amount of cutting to be done by the director on school plays. As yet this has not included love scenes in the plays, because it was thoug·ht that people of high school age had the mental ability to appretiate such scene1:i, as written in the play. However, if we, and that includes everyone, continue to display sueh untalled for discourtesy to our fellow students on the stage the scenes will have to be eliminated.
HR 200 (P; G.). To the Editor: For the pupils interested in events concerning the junior high from which they came, why not dedicate a space in the Advocate for these people. Some very interesting facts could be obtained this way, for instance, they are experimenting. also with different gTading systems. Ne w teachers make news also, because we are wanting to know about them. The civic league officers are important to the school, and some bits of information could be learned from them. All in all, I think it would be nice to know about the other junior high schools, too. Other comments concerning this subject \Vi.ll be appreciated. BETTY CALDWELL. Jriditor's Note: Hereafter the Ad· vocate will devote some space to junior high news if it is of enough interest.
Spooks? Hardly, Just An Inspection Tour! It wasn't the voices in the trees this ti me, but rather voices in the ventilator. It was a quiet setting. The Latin class was working hard on Caesar when the uninterpretable mut· terings were heard. Some blamed the voices on the spirits of Caesar, turning in their graves due to such a malicious translation of the language. Others said it was a janitor talking to the furnace. The incongruous clamor hadn't been heard for some time, the Latin class had been progressing uninterrupted, till a quiet Wednesday the noise started. again. Above the rumbles came a feminine "Daisy" and the mystery was solved. The voices in the ventilator were the vocal interpretations of a physiology cla:.3 on a tour of the cooling i1yst~m.
These Weeks Make Me Weak! By Sanatorium-Bound Oh dear, oh dear, no sooner do we finish one week then another one looms before us. And not ordinary weeks, mind you, no, special weeks. Everybody and everything has to have a special week. Why, it's enough to make a person go crazy, (let alone a half-wit like me) when no sooner do we do one good deed then we must do another. Oh dear, my head fairly swims when I think of it. Why, it was only yesterday (or so it seems to me) that it was "Be Kind to Animal Week." That was the week that caused so much confusion in my house. Not only did I have to let my cat and her kittens sleep with me at night, but I had to be civil to my little brother. Well, that nightmare of a week finally passed. Then ca.me "Health Week." But why do they call it "health" week? By the end of that week I felt as if I'd gone through the mill six times what with all the food they put through my mouth (namely spinach-that poor excuse for iron) and all the criticisms they
Obscure Court Beautified With Tulips and Iris Hidden away in an obscure corner of one of Lincoln high's courts, Miss Effie Noll's tulip bed, is about to blossom forth in colorful array. Miss Noll states that the one hundred tulip bulbs, which she had planted outside 125 in the fall Of 1938 will be blooming by the end of the week. All the tulips are in shades of red, ranging from a delicate· pink to a deep red. The plants are observed with interest by Miss Noll's classes from the time the first sprout pokes through· the ground in early spring until the last bloom has fallen. About 100 iris, which will not be ready to bloom for several weeks, were planted outside 127 as a border for the tulips by Miss Noll last fall. Some of these are choice plants given to the planter by Dr. Foster, ·who together with his daughter, Elizabeth, an L. H. S. student, makes a hobby of cultivating fine iris.
Salamander Eats flrst Meal Since Autumn Oscar, the salamander, gazed sleepy-eyed out of his glass jar into Mrs. Gladys Temple's classroom, for Oscar was hungry. He hadn't eaten since last fall, and here it was the iast day of April,· and he had just awakened. Mrs. Temple rushed to him with . a dish $et for a meal and he got his first morsel of food (an earth worm). Oscar won't be lonely this spring for one· of Mrs. Temple's pupils brought in quite a few animals like him. Although they're small and resemble tadpoles, they really resemble Oscar when he was young, you know, the younger generation. Besides Oscar, there is Eenie, Meenie, Miny (The class is .still hunting for Mo.) And three sixweeks old guinea pigs who are going to be used for vitamin experiments.

Student Builds Midget Racer Llncoln high is going to be represented on the race tracks by a midget auto racer now being built in the automobile shop by Eddie Wolf, a junior. Eddie started building this car last semester and when it is finished this June it will have cost a.bout $50. The car has a regular racing carburetor, racing tires which will last only about five races, a special racing flywheel for more speed, with a high compression head and over-size valves. This might easily be called a junkman"s special because it represents a number. of cars of different makes. Eddie painted the racer red and black The car will first be tried out on the Lincoln dirt tracks, although the car was really built to race on an asphalt track. Eddte will not b€ driving the racer. ·It wm be driven by expert drivers.
threw at me about my posture, clothing, hands and everything in general. And as if those two weeks weren't enough, along comes "National Music Week." Now, let me tell you, if you've never lived in a neighborhood where there's a trumpet on one corner, a saxaphone on the next, a piano in the middle of the block, a bassoon across the street, and, among numerous other instruments, an exceptionally loud radio next door and all doing their hardest to outdo the other, you've lived right-I'm still struggling for life. It was during that music week that we all got out on the back porch and applauded the trumpet player. It just wears me down to a frazzle when I start to think of all the other weeks about which I haven't gone into detail-Forest Conservation Week, Bird Preservation Week, Learn to Swim, (when I got water on the knee), etc., etc., not to mention maid's day off. Excuse me now, I've a "date" with a sanitarium:.

, Whatever Richard Haliburton's merits as a writer may have been, he undoubtedly, added a dash of life to millions of otherwise drab and dull existences with his riproaring tales of far-off mad a·dventure and exci.tement. "The Glorious. Adventure," lacks none of the attractive Haliburton sparkle, lacks none of the carefree treatment of danger which eventually brought its author to his death on a capsized Chinese junk somewhere in the expanses· of the Pacific ocean. It is the narrative of Halibur~ ton's wanderings in the footsteps of Homer's character, Ulysses, throughout the whole mediterran· ean area, to Mount Olympus, home of the gods, to Troy, to the isle of Circe, ·to Caz·thage t<> A thP.ns and the Acropolis, in fact to almost every point, rich in history in the Hellenic world. Not content with seeing those .sights, Haliburton felt compelled to plunge in and swim the swift dark Hellespont as Leander and Lord Byron before him. to run the width of the plain of Marathon a.s· Pheidippides did to warn the Greeks of Persian invasion; to climb the fiery sides of the volcanic Vesuvius. No episode is more moving than Haliburton's solemn pilgrimage to the grave of Rupert Brooke, poetsoldier of England ·whose lonely grave is a tiny niche of Grecian soil, surrounded by olive trees and overlooking the blue Aegean sea. Brooke, long a Haliburton hero who died on a British troop transport near Greece during the World war, was the author of those lines which are the essence of British war poetry. "If I should die, Think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That ts forever England." Come, you who have tired of the security and dullness of the hearth, come and live again with Richard Haliburton. Students! Here's your chance to suggest books 'YOU think the Lin· coin high library should get. The library, as in previous years, is giving this opportunity to teach· ers and pupils alike, who have read some book they Ii ked especially.

Hidden Radio Soothes Class With Music Smooth, clear tones of a tenor's voice floated softly over the room mingled with light, rippling notes of an expertly played grand piano. Gradually the voice became softer and softer until it was barely au· dible. Students in Miss Carrie Roberts' third period history class looked around wonder-· ingly. What was the. cause of all these strange noise1? Every member of the class seemed to be studying ambitiously. The chorus classes were too far away to be heard in that part of the building. The new sound system had not been completed, therefore that was not the cause. By some slim chance could Saint Peter be opening his gates and waiting for ttie class? What could be the answer to all these questions? Solution: One portable 'radio, hidden in Leo Soukup's desk.

Drafting Classes Plan, Sketch Future Homes Plans for supposedly future homes are well on their way. In Arvid N. Johnson's architecture 2 class. After picking an actuai lot here in the city with consideration for size, cost, location, topography, and position of plumbing, sewer and gas lines, the students draw penciled sketches. The sketches must be accurately drawn to sea.le and each size and measurement is checked in various references before they r~.ceive the 0. K. of the instructor. · The drawings are then retraced in India ink upon a special type ot paper. The student is then allowed in the fully equipped blue print room, located in 'the base=1li'~nt: ~iiere after some instruction he proceeds to bl\1e print his drawings. Some of the drawings which have emerged from this room have been good enough to be accepted by local contractors for actual construction. Jobs of the school. car~ p•mt.ry ~hop whic h require drawing and blue printing such as the buildings built at the scout camp are all done by advanced drafting students. The drafting courses offered by Lincoln high have become so popular that the architecture 3 course formerly offered has been eliminated to take care of the overflow.

Club Hears Prof. Collins Astronomer Reveals Many Interesting Facts Concerning Sun Spots With "Sun Spots" as his topic, Prof. 0. C. Collins, astronomer of the University of Nebraska, addressed the chemistry club Friday, May 3. The professor demonstrated
the
solar
phenomenon
commonly known as sun spots, by means of slides projected upon a screen. The most recent encounter with aun spots has been in the foreign broadcast connections. This disturbance in electrical communications is due to the magnetic disturbance on the sun, pointed out the professor. "The sun spots are not permanent and shift as the sun turns," exclaimed Professor Collins. The diameter of the sun is approximately 864,000 miles while the center of the desk is about a half million miles closer than its edges. "The sun is not solid as the earth," said the professor, "But is gaseous in character. Many sun spots are. larger in size than the earth's surface." He· also explained the corona and many of the instruments used· by the astronomers such as the spectroheliokinematograpn, which is a 11pectrograph constructed as to take motion pictures of the sun wave lengths. The professor continued in describing the quiescent or the eruptive prominences which, when photographed, sometimes show 1hapes of animals, trees and figures. "The last meeting of the chemistry club will be held Friday, May 10," stated Bryce Alberty, chemistry club president. "Lee Pelton and Charles Wentz, former Lincoln high students, will speak on the 'Composition of the Atom.'"

coln city library gave an informal talk on books for the teen age at the Round Table meeting May 2. "I give you an urgent invit :;ttion to come in and go down instead of upstairs when you come for a book," exclaimed the librarian while telling of the new young . people's section in the city library, These shelves located on one end of the children's room now contain about 2,200 books of special interest to boys and girls of high school age. "If you're going· to read only a short time, how much better it is to read something already a pproved by students, librarians and instructors," said Mrs. Grant, when showing the n ecessit y of choosing books on an accepted list. Not satisfied, however, with showing the club some bound lists of approved books and inviting them to make use of them, the speaker produced a short list for high school students a lone. This list, entitled "Timely Titles for the Teens," gives the names and authors of several types of books for young people. Iri view of the combat between little reading time and the des ire to read good books, the list is printed below: Of

Walking two abreast in one column to the exit door, a nd then in two columns, the pupils emptied the building in two minutes and fifty seconds during the exit drill home room period, April 30. This is in comparison wit h the t hree minutes fifteen seconds of the last fire drill. This is better in time and order accor ding to H. C. Mardis. The new system of filing out of the rooms in twos, and directly following a desig nated room to the main exit , then going four abreast was used for the first time April 30. Students file in t he same order they go out. The idea will be continued in this manner with modifications. If an alarm is sounded between classes pupils are to use the nearest stairwells, and nearest exit , but maintain t wo abreast on a step and four abreast leaving the outside exit doors.

Classes Slides were shown in all of Mrs. Ruth Dodge's history classes last week comparing Europe's boundaries of the present time and its boundaries before the World war. Mrs. Dodge showed the rapid· movement o! Germany across Eu. rope in the present war. She also gave an extra lecture after s chool for the teachers who want ed very much to see the slides. C. O. Morrison's 3-4-5 period electric cla.sses are getting a real turn in house elec.t rical w 1rmg while wiring up the scout cabin t he wood work shop is building in the Scout camp. To know more about the State Capitol was the object of the. art trip May 5. The students of Miss Helen Wilson's first period art appreciation class went to t he Capitol to study the architecture of this building which set a new style in building. One of the .things that make this building so outstanding is that it represents the Nebraskan people, history and ideals. Bringing the most troublesome ard most common of Nebraska weeds to class has been the work of the pupils in Miss Mary Bard-. well's botany classes the past week. After a . certain weed is brought in, Miss Bardwell gives to the class a report on the weed which includes the habitat a nd control. After much considllfation the class decided the definiti.on of a weed was, "A plant growing where you do not want it to g-row." Miss Helen Stowell's second period Tuesday and Thursday chorus class will have a variety program Thursday, May 9. The chairman, is George Lyberis and the committee Dorothy Imig, Richard Lyman and Walter Simon.

Good Post11re Is Important Pictures Are Taken To Determine Cause Of Incorrect Stature Correction of particularly poor po,sture is m easured in girls physical education clas ses by m eans of pictures in the form of seteontographs. After the first picture is developed, the girl is called in for a conference with the instructor and at this time is given a set of exercises t o do during her class period which will help to improve her posture. These girls are urged to register f or this class a second semester. At the end of this time, a second picture is taken and the improvement is noted. This means of taking care of posture cases is rather new at Lin· coin high school, it having been completed after two years of experimenting by Miss Grace Morgan, Mrs. Mary Mapes and C. O. Morrison. The cost of the entire equipment was less t han t wentyfive dollars and a cost of one-cent for a finished picture, six by t hree inches. Pictures are developed by Mis s Morgan and Mrs. Brown, they having fixed up a dark room in t he sterilizing room. After the pictures are dried, they are cut and mounted on a posture clinic card printed in the print shop. Cards show the g irl' s posture number, her healt h classificat ion, height, weight and posture including head, - shoulders, spine, abdomen, feet .and hips. Space is allowed for recommendations, medical advice (given at the time of the girl's medical examinat ion be· fore entering the class ), exercises given and the results of the exercise t aken. It has been found that the number of girls w ho register for these posture classes has increased and that they are much m ore interested in t he correction of their de· fects since they can see themselves as others see them.

Red and Black Take 9 Firsts To Win Beatrice Meet Lincoln Favored To Defelld Traci~ Title in State Meet Toman's Boys Defend Crown Against Fast Field; Records Expected To Fall in Competition
Expect records to tumble.
Numerous records are expected to fall. Outstanding performance to date has been Howard Debus' record breaking discus throw. Merlin Stackhouse, of Oshkosh, has skimmed the 200 low hurdles in 22:5. Al Brown, Omaha Benson, scorched through the quarter mile in 51 :8 at · the MINK meet
laist week. Marshall Niehart has been a. consistent point getter for Jackson in the hurdles and sprints, and Havelock'a Howard "Pooch" Porter has clicked .off the mile in ~
4:45. Harold •'Mutt" McAferty, Gothenburg speedster, has attained the a.mazing height of 6 feet 5% inches in the high jump, by far the best in the state. McAferty is expected to shatter the state rec· crd by a comfortable margin. Debus and Lebsack lead Lincoln.
With little pressure, Debus has An excellent chance of breaking the pole vault record of 12 feet 6 inches now held by Harold Hunt, present Husker star. Debus has already turned in performances good enough fOr fil'St places in the discus, shot, javelin and pole vault. Wilbur Lebsack of Lincoln, the boy who took six medals in two days at Kearney and York, has an excellent chance of breaking the state record in the broad jump. The present record is 22 feet 10 inches. Lebsack, the most versatile lad on tlle squad, is just as good in the \veights as he is in the sprints, and should garner a few points for Lincoln. Besides Lebsack and Debus, · such stars as Koch, Doyle, Weygint, Cradit, Abbott, Fenster and Johnson are expected to lead the Links to a repeat victory. Scottsbluff was runnerup last year with a total of 28 points while Lincoln had 39, 17 of which Debus collected.
Golf, Tennis Entrants Announced by Kuklin Representing Lincoln high in the state golf meet will be Paul Hyland, Don Tucker, Richard Spomer and Bernie Mortensen while Bob Buxton, Carlyle Hummel, and Dick Dubuque will rep resent the Red and Black in the atate tennis contest. Both teams have superior records so far this season, the Linksmen having defeated York, once, and Seward, twice, while the rac4lUeteers have triumphed over Seward, twice. Defending champion in golf is Morton of Benson and in tennis Ben Miller of Omaha Tech, who will defend his laurels. Dubuque will represent Lincoln l1igh in i;;ingles with Buxton and Hummel carrying the load in dou• bles.

Lincoln scored two in· the fourth and added a pair more in the fifth when Gropp singled after Lovell and Desch got base hits.

Professor Dumond's .speech embodied all the different a spects of America's importance in t he pr es· ent European conflict and t he ·results that her "stay-on-your -sideof-the-ocean" policy will bring. In the op1mon of Dumond, America did secur e h er o bjectives in the last conflict, World War' I, which were briefly t he righ t to be an American citizen, the right of the small E uropean n a tions to live, and freedom of the seas for America. Professor D umond frankly ad- . mitted his belief t hat America should go to w ar, asking, ''What is the use of preserving the body if you lose the mind ? '' "The airplane . has put m an in the position he occupied wit h th e invention of gunpowder ," Professor Dumond said. "Europe faces two of the grea t est criminals since Ghengis Kahn," said Professor Dumond referring t o Europe's destruction twins, Hitler and Mussolini. M. C.

Thinking ls Largest Step Toward Salety in Driving Wherever one. goes, talk is heard concerning the . large number. of accidents a ttributable to ca uses which might have been avoided by a iittle more care. Thoughtless youths, who · mean no actual harm, cause many of these. Intelligent thinking driving would have prevented many of them and even the .most thoug htless of youthful drivers could have cultivated the art of thoughtful driving with a little more guida nce. Educators, leaders of youth groups, automobile m anufa cturers, and other groups directly int erested have realized this. In Lincoln high the traffic school has accomplished one step toward a perfect state of safety everywhere. However, it cannot be accomplished wit h all the .thoughtfulness anyone can give so long as ·some peniist in 1,15ing the au!omobile for dangerous sport. "Honk-o," "auto tag" and. other forms of that now "popular" pastime must not ped1.ist. Thoughtlessness cannot be' an excuse. Willful and selfish dis-· obedie.n ce of laws for p ersonal pleasure must be punished. P arents must. cooper at e t oo. Their interest should be great enoug h to deman d that they do. Youth, loving a thrill, does not realize the peril tha t such games bring . It is not fair f or those who are forced to be out at night to be exposed to these h azards. Public watchfulness ca n do little in these cases. The guilty ones must be found; per su aded, forced if necessary to r egard the ethics of driving. , Thousands of boys and girls a ll over the country will get their first automobile licens es this year. The habits they fo rm now represent the type of driving that will prevail during the future. Only by the cooperation of e very d river a nd pedestrian may all be assured that these h a bits ' k re founded on the basic .p rinciples of safe driving , caution and intelligence.
Lincoln High Adopts Greek CZLStom in Annual Event The ancient Greeks ha d nothing on the Lincoln high school students. Once in four years a vast number of Greeks from a ll the shores of t he Mediter ranean gather ed at Olympia t o see the Olympic g ames. Yet, a day is set aside every year for the Red and Black to g ather in the oval and watch or participate in their Olympic games. The Greeks Olympic games wer e contests in running , leaping, discus-throwing , spear-hur ling, wrestling, boxing a nd the r acing of h orses and chariots. Athletes, musicians, poets and artist s came from a ll parts of Greece and contended for the aim· pie prizes. Let's all show our appreciation this year for the privileg es extended t o us. W e can do this by staying away from the junior high a nd grade sch ools which are in session, by driving ca refully and by entering into the contests with a spirit of fun and good spor tsmanship. The continuation of the Olympics in future y ear s is dep en dant upon the wa y the student body makes proper use of t he privileges granted them. -
Are Lincoln High Youths Imitating Vandals' Habits? Just fifteen h undred years ago in northeast German y a nation of people became not orious as wanton destroyers of beauty and culture until civ· Uizatlon ha d to stamp them out ·of existence. Ever since tha t time t he name h as been u sed as a t erm of reproach 'for those wh o throug h viciousness or ig norance needlessly destroy the property of others. Th e st rain does not seem to be entirely extinct. Some youth of Linncoln, a pparently of high school a g e, have so comp letely forgotten their pledge to transmit this city " better and more beautiful than it was transmitted t o us ," t ha t they are bringing reproach not oi1ly u pon t he pa r ental traiiling of their homes but upon their s chools as well. Such beha vior ins ults the very intelligence of the culprits, who would destroy that which belongs t o others or is common ly owrted and enjoyed by the community . It is t o be hoped that s om e youth of Lincoln lack the int elligence and sense of .fair play t o be t rusted at large, other yout h wit h a g reater sense of civic responsibility will make it th eir duty a nd privilege t o stamp it out, to the end that Lincoln youth in gene ral will n ot sh are t he blame for t he guilt of a few. No self-respecting citizen of Lincoln high school could eithe r p erform or knowingly t olerate some of the so-called pra nks a s reported from our cit y parks. Let 's st amp out s uch uncivilized procedures.

Between The Covers "Of Time and the River," the l!econd qf the gr eat novels of Thomas Wolfe, is a tale of hunger, .of the yearning of youth for that which n ever q uenches its thirst, for desire that burns, and burns and will not die. It is the s t ory of Eugene Gan t, born and bred of the south, w ho wa nders to the coolness of t he north to seek for all t hose t hings he desires. In the stat eliness of H arvar d university Gant settles for a time and attempts to d irect h is gr eat bmsting e·nergy in one direction at one object, to obtain one goal.

"Ver dun," by Ju les Romains, is a cleanly chiseled pictur e of what men underg o in time of war, t he t houghts they think a nd the things they do sunk in t he horror and filth of modern warfar e. It is the narrative of a gTeat pa st world wa r battle and yet it seems strikingly a pictur e of a world a~ain at war In 1940. "Verdun" is a volume in t he grea t "Men of Good Will" series by Romains, but it is in itself a complete work, a panoram a of those wor ld war years which sh ook the earth to its very foundations. The book contains ma ny char acters who sta nd into the picture, appear and disappear; some are cla imed by death and t he " boche ;" some, the pacifists, r e ma in safe outside the a ctual fighting zone ; all creat e separate philosophies of pain and death.

Fo.r um To t he E ditor: While t he conflict in Europe rages, a new war has been declared on a more peaceful front. La st week the J unior Chamber of Commerce issued an ultima tum which .Jvas intended to send liter·· a lly thousands of r esidents of this fair city into an effort to stamp out t he .inost common m ember of t he chicory family, with the Jong ta proot , toothed leaves and glorious y ellow blossoms, namely the dandelion. It seems a great many students do not realize the vast importance of this campaign. The yellow h oodlums who overrun the city every spring must be plucked, life and soul, from the fa ce of the earth , before t hey give seed and retur n stronger than ever . This brings in t he ' question, "How should we . eradicate this enemy from our own Lineal~ high campus ?" I t s eems the student council sh ould lay· aside it s regular business and tackle the problem . About 1930 a plan was put into effect, in which each home room, if it so chos e, staked out a claim on the campus and kept it up. The t ools were · mostly furnished by the s chool a nd a s fa r as we can learn the pla n was quite a success. There were n o a wards offered 'but the student s participated gla dly. If believe that although a plan of this t his plan proved it self in 1930, we kind w ould ·be q uite out of the question now, because of difficul· t ies which have a r isen in the past 10 year s, any plan produce d by t he school council will be r eceived and carried out 100 percent by the stu dent body.

Topic of discussion at the Clef club ~eeting, Wednesday, May s; was the picnic which is to be held at Pioneer's par;k in place of the next meeting, Wednesday, May · 22. Box lunches will be prepared· by the cafeteria and cars will be . furnishelf for transportation. Tickets at 20 cents are to be purchased after schpol this week in room 321. Entertainment was provided at the meeting by four members of the club. E lizabeth Ann Smaha sang " Say It" without accompaniment. Bonnie Rickey gave a report on popular music and also gave a list of the most popular song of each year from 1924 to 1940. Next was a piano solo, "How High the Moon," by Jean Frances Thrailkill. Closing the program, Marian Coombs sang "Love Is .AU" accompanied by Jean Inhelder.
Miss Esther Ostlund Gives Brief Talk; Group Sings Song E lected a s next year's officers were Katherine R ice, president, Betty Gage, vice-president, Myra Colberg, secretary, and Dorothy Christian, treasurer, at the Girl Reserves meeting, May 6. Miss Esther Ostlund gave a brief talk on Oakwood lodge and led the girls in singing camp songs. "Memories of Oakwood" w ritten by Anna Jean Ray, which was given May 4, at a local department store camp style show, was again presented by · E lizabeth Foster, Glenda Reese, Lucia Hassler, Ghit a Hill and Nancy Green. The .girls, dressed in camp togs, g ave r eminiscences over last year's diary of Oakwood. To raise the remaining $2;50 of the $5.00 to be earned by each committee during the year, the program a nd membership committees, held candy sales on May 3 and May 9.

'Pin Cushion' Haircut Vexes StyUsh Femmes "Fuzz" haircuts have beaten our fine feathered friend, the robin, out of being the first sure sign of !<pring. Although many a year 11"' ' " '-he ,;iris spent on :inalyzing this peculia r insect, men (no ot-. fense) they get more and more unexpla inable as time marches on. Why does the fuzz h&ircut appeal to these· Princes of Muscle?. That's easy (1) because it's ·cooler (2 ) no hair to comb in the.. morning and (3) all t he better to scare you with, my dear. Some gentlemen geniuses even go so far as to cultivate said fu:i:z cut throughout the wiii.ter, giving .it a smooth : velvety appearance. Some favor the utterly fashionable (in 1937) high on the head coiffure. Others cater to the back swept curl in front with. the "short stuff" covering the honor able dome. But horrors of all horrors, the most gruesome a nd m ost popular is the pin-cushion style. What do the barbers do with all these sheared locks? Perhaps a new material will soon m ake its bow. They make sheer stockings out of coal, you know. Be fashionable this year, boys. Have that pin-cushion look.
Good Points for All Prospective Peppers One hundred fifty-four girls have signed up to t ry out for the Peppers.

Henry Richard Witte, 74, known to thousands of former and present students of Lincoln high, died Monday, May 6, following a hear.t attack. Many Lincoln high student s knew h.im not as Mr . Witte, but as "Pop" or "Dutch ," the operator of a r estaurant and lunch room at 2100 J st reet. Mr. Witte, who after 50 years in America still talked with the characteristic German "Da" arid "ya" is missed greatly by the boys of Lincoln hig·h school. The morning after his death, the lunch room was not filled with a thr ong of boys as it usually is, and inside there was no. laughing or joy. Old "'Dutch" w~ dead. For twenty-five years he and Mrs. W itte operat ed the · lunch room until, th ree m onths ago, t hey were separated by Mrs. Witte's death. Now "Dutch" has gone to join h er, but they both will always remain ih the hearts and minds of neighbors and of students of Linc.oln high.

Hunt of North Platte in 1937 and sailed the discus 163 feet 2 %. inches to eclipse forever the for· mer 153 feet 31h inch mark. Rushing from one event to the other, big, blond Howard assured himself of gold medals in the shot put with a toss of 51 feet 3 % inches and in the javelin with a throw of 179 feet 4 inches to become the first athlete in the state meet's history to sweep the weight

All the girls that are whizzes at golf or tennis should start practicing up, since the weather is just right for the occasion. The main and simple reason is that the girls tennis and golf tournaments are coming in the near future. So get those rackets and clubs shined up and start working for a crown.
No higher esteem could be held· of a great c9ach by a great athlete than that of Debus who started on his athletic career in grade school.

We Haue Cooperation of Clubs, Why Not Classes? Two of the sports classes. played a baseball game before an audience made up of English 8 classes, Friday, l\:Iay 3, so that the embryonic journalists might report a game during English 8 p eriod. This seems a small act of interclass cooperation, but on t he other hand, such a simple act is not too often seen. Clubs cooperate constantly, plan entertainments together, instruct each other whenever necessary. Al most all extracurricular acti:vities 0V"1:'~;;.:p, Ullt straight regular curricular classes t_?o often remain aloof from cooperation w'ith ·each other and other groups. Classes, especially in this school, have so ro ~ nv "h::i nce<: to work trJ g ethP.r on a common pro ject that it is strange they do not mak e better use of these opport unities,
Lincoln Police Beginning To Check Bicyclers According to a policeman, the Lincoln police, beginning l\fay l , started to hand out tickets to unlawful bicyclers. This policema~ stated that all officers, mainly motorcycle and cruiser officer.s, have received orders to r equire all bicycles without licenses to b e licensed immediately. Any person who puts his car through the testing station :will notice numerous boys getting licenses. The policeman declared, "I do not b elieve that this idea of bicycle license will fade out. Most people believe that. since Lieutenant Bennett has gone that this bicycle business woul~ not last long.'' He continued, ''To my es~imation, it will come in stronger than ever. " If there were any alert eagle-eyed people watching the other day, they would hav e noticed a motorcycle officer and a cruiser checking over all bicycles to see that they had licenses. This wiil prove to anyone that the Lincoln police are now letting boys who ride bicy cles know wh en t hey are in the wrong in any way.
American Youths . Can Help Retain Neutr<dity There is a wa.r in Europe, but this war three thousand miles away not only affects our lives politically and economically, but vitally affects our state of mind. Now that the newspapers are filled with glaring accounts of the atrocities committed by both warring factions, we are apt to become prejudfoed against one side or the other, but it is our duty as true Americans to support democratic principles by avoiding · such prejudices and burning hatred as was found during the last world war. \Ve are· over here and the war is over "there." It is the desii;e of most Americans to i·etain this st atus and it can only be done by remembering t hat we cannot hope to understand fully t he right s and the wrongs of the war and neit her can we pass judgment upon the people who are fighting. When we think of dreadful bombing of civilians, remember that those bombers are obeying the orders of their leaders, not the dictates of their hear ts. Do your part in keeping America out of war by creating friendly r elationships with the young people of every cou ntry in the world l

In al'\ atmosphere saturated with friendliness and understanding, modern magistrates in the United States preside over today's .ju• venile . courts. Standing in the background of the tribunal are probation officers, physicians and psychologists who study the background of the erring youngster and arrive at reasonable and just solution. In most states the industrial school of today is a big improvement over the reform school of yesterday, having homelike cottages and a provision for t raining in some industry to make the child self-supporting in the future. One of these socially-minded men, the 171any times district judge, Lincoln Frost, reminisced over what he terms "the best years of my life." "Perhaps one of my most interesting cases concerned a local high school whose football team was greatly agitated over the seeming loss of their sweaters. The lad suspected of the theft claimed to
have purchased the garmente from another. Not satisfied with this story I adjourned court, tellLng: t he youngster to bring the culprit back with him a week hence. When t he day arrived, both boys were there, their stories agr eeing perfectly. Even then I didn't, like t he tale, but put the apparent sinner on probation . . It was then that the original suspect broke into tears, said he couldn't stand it, the other boy was his accomplice, who had consented to Clear him of his guilt by confirming his story." ' 'But," he Emiled, " this has a sequel. Sometimes afterward a youth stopped me on the street in Minneapolis ; he was the same lad who had stolen the sweaters years before. 'It's fo r tunate you got ahold ·of us when you did,' he said, 'we were stealing, right and left, and,' he added, 'I'm married now and have a job and two children.' " Judge Frost is now at work on an article which will . depict the history of the juvenile court in the United States.

I graduated from Lincoln high in 1938 and I am in the United States navy now. Many people dream of coming to Hawaii, Para-
Two years ago I entered Lincoln high school as a junior. I came from a farm ·near Ulysses, Nebr aska, and it was my desire to take a course in woodwork. After I had entered school and was having a hard time, Miss Pound secured a job for me, working for my board and room as a waiter in a pri-
dise of the Pacific, to bask in the sun at Waikiki and watch hula girls do their " stuff."
A dear old New England spinster, the embodiment of timidity, passed away at a certain town. H er nearest kin, a nephew, ordHed her body sent back to be bur ied in a quiet little churchyard. When he opened the casket he beheld, instead of his aunt l\fary, the majest ic port of an English General in full r egimentals, who had chanced to die at the same time and place. At once he cabled the General 's heirs explaining the situation and r equesting instructions. They cabled back as follows, " Gi ire Genera.I quiet funeral. Aunt Mary buried today with full military honors, six brass bands, and saluting guns. ''

Therefore, because it is too late to have one this year, all you ·sophomores- and first semester juniors who are interested should talk to next semester of ficers and your class sponsors and see if your class can't be the first to carry out this idea. And in the future, maybe Lincoln high will be able to hold a junior party a.s w ell as a sophomore and a senio.r party. ELIZABETH FOSTER. ,

I believe everybody wants new streamlined schools, tb.e walls built with glass brick, so it would be lighter in the building. An up-to-date school n eeds a good system of government composed of three things : (1) tribunal -ten students chosen from school at large (2) fifty students in st udent council and (3) one hundred students in the gener al assembly . Ther e should be new classes and studies, debate, dancing classes, drama and plays, swimm mg classes, and these all should be two-hour subjects. SHIRLEY SHAW.

'Buff,' a Blue Ribbon Collie Count of Buffington Appears With His Mistress, Janet Mason, . At Pet Club Meeting Count of Buffington, a year old purebred collie, was exhibited before the pet club meeting of May 14 by his mistress, Janet Mason. Janet showed Buff in the St. Jo11eph, Missouri annual dog show in the novice class which is for dogs that have never been in a show before or have been in shows but never won a blue ribbon. Much to tile surprise of Janet, Buff placed first in this class. It was her first ahow as well as Buff's and she had entered only for the experience. Janet trained Buff for the show herself. This was rather difficult tor he was n ervous when in a crowd, therefore Janet took him downtown every day after school on a leash until he was broken of this habit. Buff was also afraid to walk up and down stairs, so Janet took him to the Capitol where she made him walk the inside steps and soon_ he no longer had this fear. Janet's ambition is to have Buff win a certificate in the class where the training of the dog is judged only. In the Golden . Spike dog show h eld May 18, "Buff" was adjudged the best local, American bred male in his class. He received fourth place in the working class in the finals held Sunday. His mistress received a silver platter-. Second attraction at the meeting were snakes brought by Kent Baker for observation of the first snake to shed an entire skin while in captivity. Two bull snakes, approximately six feet irt length, were shown to compare the difference between a snake with old akin and . one with a new one. An eye plate was exhibited. This, it was explained, accounts for the atony star e of the snake,

Tree Svmholizes .. Teacher's Traits In memory of Miss Louise Miller, a hackberry t r ee was planted by the class of 1936. Growing rapidly, this t ree now stands 8 feet 5 % ipches and is loca t ed just off the west walk toward the oval. Most h ackberries are noted for their ability to with· stand wear and t ear , and for their ability to come through all kinds of weather, and to stand out extremely well in the summer. This tree, picked by the senior class, is the only emblem to tit the character of Miss Miller as she stood out as being a distinguished teacher of the English department and a prominent citizen, always kind a nd thoughtful. Miss Miller died in October, 1936. Mrs. Mary Map es , school nurse, suffered a s prained ankle when she fell down the steps of the board of edu cation. She has been absent a week an d he r place was taken by Mrs. Ruby Tarr.

Cafeteria Murals Almost Finished Fast on the road to completion are the murals for the cafeteria being painted by Chester Porter, Shirley Spaulding and Jean Sm ith, members of a special art class set up ·for this purpose. It is hoped that these murals will be up by at lea.st the last day of school since the problem of ideas and colors has already been solved. This is the most lastin g produ ct that has ever been attempted b y any a rt class students. Every step of the way, they have tested out t he mate1ials used, to be sure they are on the right trnck. Show card paint is being used, for it is less expensive than oil paint and proves just as durable. School funds a re being used for the tuff-wood (material on wh ich the murals are painted) and the paints and brush es are furnished by the art budget. The tuff-wood cost11 7 ¥2 cents per squa re foot and $15 in all, which is not expensive compared to the fact of how much more interesting the murals will m ake the c af eteria. These murals represent the stud ent body in the class rooms a nd on the athletic field. They have aroused a great d eal of interest among the people in the building.

Donald Hand Displays Golden Spike Costume No, tliat wasn't grandpa. Snazzy promenading' through the L . H. S. ha lls Thursday, that .was Donald Hand giving anyone who cared to notice a preview of what was worn this year at the Golden Spike celebration. Don was decked out in a _black Prince Alber t top coat, which was imported from England, the suit originally costing $150, a collapsible silk stovepipe hat, a bright red plaid 'shirt, tan riding breeches and brown riding boots. The final touch to the masterpiece of dress was the inch long beard running from ear to ear which Don had been carefully cultivating since March. In all this colorful regalia, he reflected the perfect debonair west erner of the gay 90's era. Albert Campbell also dressed up for Golden Spike days Thursday. Albert wore dark blue overall pants, a bright multi-colored shirt, a gay neckerchief, leather wrist cuffs and h one st -to-goodness cowboy boots with real· jangling spurs. At a glance h e looked like a Wyoming cow ,puncher who had hit the wrong trail.

To boys who would like to play baseball this summer, there is a fine chance of playing American Legion ball. Blanks can be secured at the office. These blanks must be filled out and handed in to Frank Mueller, baseball coach. Mueller also has charge of the Lincoln Blues, a team composed of the best players competing in the older boys division of American Legion baseball. This gives a boy a chance to play during the summer and also builds him for baseball in later years. Many boys who once played American L egion ball are now playing in the major leagues. Two of these boys are Bob Feller with tl:ie Cleveland Indians and Phil Cavaretta with the Chicago Cubs; Both of these fellows broke into the major leagues while still in their teens. "Jake" Br uns , has received a full blue numeral and "Vic" Michael received a half-blue numeral. "Tough Luck" would be a. fitting name for Jack Eisele. Jack, when a sophomore, tried out for the tennis team but didn't make it. All duririg the summer Jack practiced every day, improving his game. As the tennis season began this y ear, Jack entered the round robin tournament and was seeded number four man on the team. Jack won his first match and he thought finally his day had come. In the middle of his next match his racket broke, and he had to forfeit. Again winning back his place ·on the team, Jack found out he could not keep up his work and tennis at the same time, so once more .he had to give up his place on the team. Jack is now looking forward to next year. William Lee, a junior, broke his collar bone Tuesday, May 14, in the gymnasium. He was attempting a body block in the battle royal for the olympic tryouts when the accident occurred. Bowling is the newest activity of the Jackson, Bethany, College View and Lincoln sophomore HiYs. Teams have been formed from each Hi-Y and compete regularly. This · league was formed as a re· sult of the Hi-Y Girl Reserve conference. The best bowlers to date are (you guessed or maybe you didn't) from Jackson. Next in line is Lincoln followed by Bethany and College View. Lincoln bowlers rank as follows: Milferd Epp, · Roger Ellis, Wayne Kingery, Jim Hawkins and Bob Shim..
New Type Transmitter Constructed For Football A new type of transmission recently constructed in the electric shop for the football games in the fall shows signs of being a success. It is a transmitter capable of operating on 21/:i meters. It will be used from the yard line where the ball is· placed to th~ score board where a receiver will be erected to receive at that wave length. This .t ype of transmission will do away with last year's t elephone system which was constantly being broken by students cafter the /games when they rushed out to the field before the boys had a chance to take it up.

Students ·Make Roman ~'eapons Latin 2 made models of ancient Roman weapons. Oscar Powell made· a miniature scorpio and some Roman shoes were made by '\Vinifred Nelson·. Oscar was asked to pose with his model for a picture to be in the Links. 3,000 years ago the Greeks a nd Romans used crude weapons, mechanized by hand. Among them a re the '_'balista" and "scorpio." The ballista is a huge weapon effective by shooting large rocks. It could shoot rocks through t hethick walls to destrop property. The scorpio reminds one of a modern bow and arrow; tlle bow being a ttached to a frame. A cord is wound until it releases the arrow from the bow. The range of some of these weapons was 1,000 feet. Frank "Red" Mueller, who announced the Olympics last Friday, has a good speaking voice because he was, at one time, an oratorical cont est winner. In 1929, Mueller was second in the state oratorical contest to Spangler Arlington Brugh- better known ·as Robert Taylor.

You need no opera glass, no ermine fur, no top hat, no press agent. Nothing, that is, but ;i hearty laugh and an itching to hear a song sung. Anyone that likes music, with a libera! sprinkling of comedy ·for good measure, will like the coming opera "Mikado." Now due to the fact that music is the heart of man, it means that almost everybody sort of enjoys music. Everyone likes to laugh at ii funny situa· tion, so that means the comedy part won't keep anyone away. We'll see you at the opera.

Another crown came home to Lincoln when the swimmers, cracking records right and left, splashed past a plucky Omaha Tech team to win. Howard Debus was the mighty roar that echoed through prep track circles as he and his mates swept every meet in which the full team was entered, including the state earnival, to assure their school of its third crown. Last, but far from least, the four man golf team defeated Omaha South for state laurels and Bernie ' Mortensen captured the individual chaµipionship. In baseball, it was the basketball situation over again with Prep taking a Lincoln t eam that su!fered from error-itis.

Neither the New York Yankees nor Joe Louis seemingly have a tighter grip o_n their fields than the seven athletic teams. The 1939-1940 year was an athletic landslide for the Red and Black, with four state championships in football, swimming, track and golf. Two times .this year, in basketball and baseball, L. H . S. has occupied the spot of runner-up and c uriously enough, each time behind another athletic monopolist, Creighton Prep.

Creighton Prep held its jinx over Lincoln again Thursday when it beat Lincoln for the third time this year 4-1. Glass on the mound at Muny for the Red and BlacJt_ was very effective at times, but Prep pounded him for t en hits; Lincoln scored when Desch singled, went to third. on Danze'I error, and scored on Maser's single ·to right field. •Lincoln collected six hits off Marvin Kranda, but was able. to bunch them once, when the batters collected three straight.

To Show How L.H.S. Acl1ieves Aim of Education in All Its Phases, Goal With an entirely new theme and revolutionary a rrangement for a year book, the Links this year Is bringing: to the student body the force of what modern education tor !I- democracy means. A council of noted educators, the Educatoional Political Commission, stated that the chief aims of education are to give the student self realization, economic efficiency, social relationships, and civic responsibility. To show iu what ways Lincoln high school achieves these aims is the goal of the 1~40 Links. Arrangement More Logical.
Logically, the activities of the 11chool such as clubs, plays; musical organizations and publications have been placed with that part of the. curriculum which played Prometheus to them. Following this plan, the class plays, for example, have been placed in the section given to the Classes that prodticeq them, the writers club a!).d Forum, with the English departinent, and the Or· pheons, with the music department. This year's board, John Goe, Joanna· Radke, Patricia Peterson, and Rachael Ann Lock, had a much harder task than previous boards because the or.ganization of the 1940 Links is entirely different fro.m anything tried before. In spite of this difficulty, the distribution of the Links Tuesday was the · earliest in_ years. Unusual Photography.
The copper seal adorning the blue cover and the copper paste _down sheets give a touch of lux~ ury to the book which is other~ wise extremely modern. The _qual· ity of the photography first i_m . presses the reader; the full page cuts which distinguish the introduction are new to the Links. The photograph of the top of the ac!-: ~oJ

a striking frontispiece. A better and cleai·er idea of how Lincoln high is essentially unifl,ed may be gained through the grouping of the classes and activities used this year. Although the dif· ferent studies may seem to have entirely different aims, _they are all working for the democratic purposes of modern education. Since the staff was smaller than before, the work of each .staff member was increased somewhat. Merlin Anderson, James Townsend, Betty Hertzler and Josephine Welch, the four board assistants, Ona Beth O'Connell, writing the ataff division, June Helm:Stadter, classes, Elmer Sprague; languages and social science, Hal Bosserman, home, business, and industry; Norman Herdt, . scienc·e and mathematics, Leeola· Hefti, fine arts, Jean Schleuning and Craig Hubbard, physical education, Paul Stoesz, librarian, Roy Erickson, artist, Mildred Spomer and Leilabeth Hanson, typists, and Mary Fredenhagen,. Donald Wilson, Richard Ray and John Angle, photograph~rs, made up this year's staff.

and audience. characterizations Outstanding came 'from Jack Ro'kahr, Robert Smith and Ardyce Lyman, as Pooh Bah, Ko-Ko and Katisha, respectively. Robert Smith, portraying KoKo, the meek Lord High Exe_cutioner of Titipu, showed himself equally skillful in singing and acting. Jack Rokahr, as Pooh Bah, Lord High Everything Else, gave the part the pompoi.!sness and mock dignity it demanded to the utmost satisfaction of the audience. Ardyce Lyman, with a beautiful voice and splendid acting offered
_humor to the opera .as Katisha, the elderly lady in love with NankiPoo. The "Three Little Maids from School," Ruth Ferguson, Dorothy Huffman, and Gretchen Rosencrans as Yum-Yum, Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo respectively, added to the . performance through their attractive singing. Gilbert Ryder played the Mikado of Japan and was outstanding in his solo, "My Object all Sublime." James McDowell and Donald Rickey as Pish-Tush and the umbrella carrier had small roles,· but did them well. · The chorus was made of the rest of the choir and presented many lovely numbers. Accompaniment was by the orchestra and Paul Le Bar. Two of the most beautiful musical selections were "Braid the Raven Hair" by the chorus of women, and "The Moon and I" by YumYum. Both of these were in the second act. Most popular numbers were "I've Got a Little List" by Ko-Ko an,d chorus of men, and finale in the first act and ''There Is Beauty" by Ko-Ko and Katisha and "The C!'iminal Cried" by Ko-Ko,

Let's Pause MEMORIAL DAY: Does our generation think of this as just another holiday purely for fun and vacation ? LET'S PAUSE _a nd give reverence to the thought of our soldiers who have given the supreme sacrifice to make our country a free democracy. LET'S PAUSE and think of these men who for the love of their country accepted death and thus resolved all doubts and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue. LET'S PAUSE and contem. plate over a quotation from Schuyler Colfax. "The supporters of religion give their lives for a principle, these martyrs of patriotism gave their lives for a n idea." LET'S PAUSE and appreciate our forefathers who had such a vision to form a government of religious freedom and thought, and paved the way for an educational opportunity for every child. LET'S PAUSE and remember the hardship of our sturdy pioneers and their determination to set up a state and city of which we may be proud. LET'S PAUSE and bow our heads in memory of our relatives and friends who are no more with us. LET'S PAUSE in the real meaning of M emorial Day. 0

Change in Point System Approved Approval was given a recommendation by the Advocate and passed by the student council at the meeting of the faculty committee on student affairs Friday, May 24. The term& of the recommendation were that the E. C. A. points of Advocate editorial staff m embers be changed. The news editor and managing editor will receive 3 points instead of 5, the business manager and advertising manager will continue to r eceive 2 points and all members of the editorial staff will receive 1 point. Service ratings for work done on the preparation of citizenship pos ters identification pictures and running of slides for the sopho· more a ssemblies were also allowed. The student council has been asked to suggest the rewording of the article in the constitution on the nominations and elections of class officers. The rewording will have to do with the present system of nominating and electing officers at the end of the semester instead of. at the beginning. The committee also voted to make our rule_for eligibility con- . form to the Nebraska high school activity association ruling and require passing work the preceding and current semester in 15 hours rather than in 3 five hour subjects.

Of Truth Whittier has said, "Truth should be the :first lesson of the child and thelast aspiration of manhood." If everyone were to abide. by this enchanting statement, there wonld be no point . in writing this. But since this is not the "naked truth," and since truth has always been a subject of great contemplation and earnestness, I shall endeavor to combine opinion and pen toward this theme. Persons who unintentionally ellaborate are not true prevaricators. But there ·are those who lie with malicious intent and othei·s from force of habit, fear, ignorance, and pride. Truth is similar to a pearl, in that each is r;ought after, torn, and shattered by various elements. An example of truth may be found in this sttiking incident. .A sinall high school t:el'~'· team along with the coach went to engage m an out-of-town :meet. In the shuttle relay one of the runners of this team dropped the shuttle and thus lost this event for his school. He was so extremely downeast over it that his coach called the team together and asked them to promise the ill-fated runner never to tell which one of them had dropped it. Because of their truthfulness in keeping this secret, they made this boy deeply grateful. There are students who go to class with their work copied from someone else and then falsify about it to their teachers. If those persons but knew they are building barriers to everyone's profits and especially their own, because lying hinders their initiative, respectability and forms. a bad habit. Lying makes me think of this story : ''A peasant with a troubled conscience went to a Monk for advice, saying he had circulate<i a falsehood .concerning another, only to find it was not true. "If you want to make peace with your conscience,'' said the Monk, "you must fill a bag with chicken down, go through every door yard .in the. village and drop into each one of them a fluffy feather.'' The peasant did as he was told. Then he came back to the Monk and announced that he had done penance for his falsehood. ''Not yet,'' :replied the Monk. "You must now return and gather up every feather you have dropped." "But the wind must have blown them all away," said the peasant. · "yes, my son,' I said the Monk; "and so it is with lying: Lies are easily dropped, but no matter how had you may try you can nevet get them back again." . "You need not tell all the truth," said Horace Mann, ''unless to. those who have a right to know it; but let all you tell be truth." A.L. C.
America's Duty Lies in Defending Tomorrow Tomorrow's holiday, Memorial day, is set aside for the purpose of remembering. Remembering the illustriou.s war dead should be one part of this, but its value lies solely in one's ability to remember our duty in preventing another war from taking its toll. As the state of things lies now, the pressing problem is not to "defend" vague principles nor to follow stirring bands and catching phrases into arms, there to sacrifice .more billions of dolars and millions of men to the altars of Mars, but to spend all our energy in saving whatever civilization may have been saved from the last wars. Let us remember; as well as the dead, the living and those generations yet to come. Is not their welfare of .enough worth~

Dear Readers,
We feel like rats. Last Tuesday (May 21) was Duke Eberhart's birthday and that morning we saw a figure sneak into the Advocate office and put a strange looking parcel in wha:t we thought was our box. The girl who turned out to be Dorothy Jean Browne had put the strange box in what she thought was Duke's - box. Naturally we opened the box and found a note saying "Happy bi1ihday" from Guess Who? We thought someone was trying to kid us so we opened the box. Imagine our surprise when we found a box of FRESH CHEESE. Still we thought it was for us (you know some of these pr;tctical jokers). When we had eaten a goodly po1'tion of the cheese we noticed a slip saying "to Duke'' but not before we had offered a piece to Duke. Duke took one look at the cheese and :with tears streaming in his eyes said in despair, "Where did yon get my box of cheese¥" We then explained the situation to him and· he said he would excuse us this time, but not to let i't happen again. Then he decided to open up the box again and have a piece of cheese himself. Well we decided we wanted to leave, but he insisted that we stay. On opening the box he found a big hole in the cheese with a note saying, "Taken by a. poor hungry litle mouse." Well that was about all he could stand so we left in a hurry. We hope he isn't still mad. Duke said, ''I hope the gift wasn't meant to be synonym~us to my character." The moral of this litle story is quote, "Don't be a rat and steal someone else's cheese (Cheese, that was korny).

In a recent test, she asked her modern history ?. ~•---:i..,~g w-n~t _'!'a.i_lro_11ci_ -~:as -~Juih -through Africa by. the EngTisn, ana she received the following answers: (1) The Berlin to Bagdad railroad that runs from Cairo to Capetown.

These cities are both in Africa.

W'hich Ending to This Poem Do You Prefer? Louise Putney, a member of Miss Jessie B. Jury•a third period Latin four class is the author of the following little poem about Caesar: Long years ago when Rome was new, "Dear" Caesar wrote a book or two; Which, throwing votes in his direction, Saved the day for his election. Now, those days are gone and past. Twice Caesar's power did not last, His books, which then did sway the masses Now lull . to sleep our Latin classes. Miss Jury, on reading the line suggested that perhaps a little extra assignment would remedy the sleeping problem and Louise quickly amended the line so that now it reads: His books, which then did sway the masses, Now fascinate our Latin cl asset.
Girls Continue Room Decoration A few more projects have been ·started by girls· who are decorating· the teachers' rest room. Slip covers of dusty rose uphol· stery material are being made for two of the chairs. A new shade for the door is also being made from tan material and will replace the commonly used Window shade. Telephone numqers have been r~typed and placed in colored pa· per folders. These additional proj· ects will be completed before achoo! closes.

After :showing several different demonstrations on the "care and handling of the sick" to the girls in her third period hygiene class, Miss Ethel Murray instructed them to perform any one of the demonstrations that they desired to. The model used for these performances has the weight of a grown person and ls easy to handle, but when the girls used one of their classmates they found it quite difficult. At last school is coming to the end for this session. Anyway, that is the impression one gets in Miss Jennie Piper's modern history classes, for she has started giving her final examination of one hundred questions. Every week she gives about twenty questions to . be handed in, in type or ink. This saves the pupils from having a written examination for memory over all the book at the end of the semester. Claiming to be the first to hear the new sound system in class, the pupils of Mrs. Grace Hyatt's modern history ·class listened ·to the speech of Neville Chamberlain just after he had resigned as prime minister of England recently. News by H. V. Kaltenborn was listened to later. This class was the only room hooked up with the system. Miss Helen Wilson's first pe· riod art appreciation class which meets on Tuesday and Thursday, took a trip to the Nebraska State capital. Each member of the class took notes on the paintings and sculpturing. They will give a re· port on what they saw. Scenes from La Poudre Aux Yeux (a two act comedy by Eugene Labiche and Edoward Martin) written in French have been dramatized by pupils of Miss An· netta Sprung's third period French 4 class Thursday, Friday and Monday, May 23, 24 and 27 respectively. The sce!)es are presented as they would be if they were given in a theater in Paris. Helen Webster as Emmeline, Clara Pappas as Monsieur Malingear, Emmeline's father, and Ruth Sherburn as Madame Malingear presented Scene X of Act I, Thursday. Scene XII Act I was given Thursday by Mary Kierstead in the role of Madame Malingear, Donald Dobry as Monsieur Maling·ear, Charlotte Hill as Madame Rotinois, Robert Sorenson as Mousier Rotinoi2 and Donna Klippert as Emmeline.

Ah! At Last! Elder Agrees Younger Generation Better Off Than Supposed "I don't "think that the young people of today are in as serious straits as some of our elders would have us believe," was the sincere comment of Mr. Littrell, who is finishing his third and last year as the manager of the Lincoln Hi·Y building. Mr. Littrell admits taht he may be a bit prejudiced in favor of the "young ones" because of his vital interest in them but he still believes that the boys and girls of today are just as well, if not better prepared as they were in "days of yore." Don, as he is commonly called, believes that his interest in young people ts somewhat inherited, for his father was a Methodist preacher and was the founder of one of the first Boy Scout troops in the United States. Incidentally Don met his wife, "Tommy," while he
was working with young people. He was working with boys in a summer church league while she was in charge of the girls there. · "I have lived nieighteen different towns in Nebraska and· it seems as if I have attended about the same number of schools;" he continued. "I have attended Morn· ingside college in Sioux City and . I am now on my fourth semester : at Wesleyan.· I have been in the ministry eight years and am plannnig to attend Boston theological seminary next year. I am, as you've perhaps guessed, planning to be a pastor." · Don, a dark, curly haired and quite handsome, participated in sports, football in high schoo.l, he and his brother receiving athletic scholarships to Morningside college. ·
Have You Ever Been Thirsty? Read This Story of Peter; Poor Pete! Ah yes, I remember Peter. Yes, I knew him well. J heard his whole story just before he. . . . Ah yes, I remember his story well. What? You never heard the. story of Peter ? Well, just sit down, I'll tell you. It was a warm April day. Peter was in a gay mood. He had just given a long but very good history report. Whistling a merry tune and with a broad smile on his rosy cheeks, he thought to himself, now for a drink of water and everything will be just fine. His whistle lagged a bit as he rounded the third floor corridor and saw the long line of happy boys and girls waiting to dampen their thirsty esophaguses. Finally the line dwindled down to. where it was Peter's turn. But alas, the minutes too had dwindled away. Just enough time for one cool, refreshing drink, thought Peter. The boys called him Pete because his name is Peter and I thought it would save time to call him Pete, because it takes longer to say Peter than it does to say Pete. ·wen, Pete bent nimbly from the waist and gingerly turned on the knob of the fountain, but thei'e was no water to be ·seen. Just as Pete stood up, the water came up a little, but as Pete stooped down, the water also went down. Then Pete had a problem on his mind: Should he get to class on time or wait and get the drink which he wanted very much now? A low mumble. came from Pete•s lips . as the class bell decided the
gled up. Pete stooped down to de· vour the tiny trickle, but, for some ' reason the fountain spurted over Pete's face and nice clean shirt. This made Pete very angry and he gave the fountain a. hardy sock. The result was a very sore bleeding hand. Pete gave up and started wearily to class. As he rounded the corn, an army tank knocked him over. Oh, no, it was just a great big letterman. Pete, with much effort got to his feet, and, just as he opened his mouth to apologize, the letter man shoved his fist down Pete's throat. Wham! The letter man struck again, this time in the eye. "Egad,'' Pete mumbled, "I didn't know all these letter men carried sledge-hammers around with ;em." Pete then limped to class. Just as he weakly reached for the door, it was · opened by the teacher. There was a dull thud as the corn· er of the door hit Pete squarely between the eyes and caused his nose to bleed like a. fire hose. "Oh, there you are Peter," said the teacher gently.' · Just then a very large ·wet Inkwad hit him on the forehead. This time Peter broke into sobs. Poor Pete, standing there with his wet shirt, black eye, bloody nose and ink trickling down his .face sobbed out between his broken teeth, "Ah shucks! All I want· ed was a little water." The teacher sent him to the nurse's office. Yes sir, I saw Pete stagger to the stairs. Yep! I saw the banana
But Pete again tried the fountain. A faint trickle of water gur-
too. Poor Pete.
Journcilists See News in Making At City Papers
School Emptied In Three Minutes
Learning that there is a great deal more to making a newspaper than. just writing stories the aspiring journalists of Lincoln high visited the Lincoln newspapers last week. Members of Miss Sarah T. Muir's English 8 class and Miss Belle Farman's period 4 class made a tour of the Lincoln Star building, period 3, the Nebraska State Journal. If they were disappointed in discovering that journalists are not romantic characters, the thrill of seeing the huge presses and watching the intriCate linotype machines in action surely made the trip worthwhile. In the newsroom: of the Star the students saw news being transmitted from distant points to editors who even as the news was coming in were writing the headlines to appear on the front page of the paper. The girls were especially inter· ested in the society offices but the boys favored the room where the sports staff was at work. Expertly trained linotype operators start the beginning pro· cesses of the printing of the pa· per. Metal casts of each page are made from which the paper is printed and the huge presses in a basement of the building print the news on paper from rolls of paper as large as your teacher's desk. After the paper is printed the same machine folds and cuts the papers which then are · prepared for distribution.

Between The Covers "After 1903 What" by Robert Benchley is one of those volumes that seems best fitted for an insane asylum, but nevertheless a bit of penning that should crack the exterior of. even the iciest critic. Benchley has written a group of essays on everything from Dreams to the effect of a cold bath and along with some fine illustrations by Gluyas Williams, they make an extremely humorous collection. "Alexander, The Great'' by Lewis V. Cummings, 1s the first step in cutting the veil of. mystery and contradiction that has fJr so long surrounded the Greeit con• queror. This is the chronicle of a man who lived and breathed the pro· fession of a soldier from earliest childhood, who was a cavalry com· mander at sixteen and ten years later: was master of the greatet portion of the known world. At first burning with idealistic fevor to conqueror for Greece, Alexander is turned by the decep· tion and greed that he finds to conquering for personal ambition and gain. "The Aviation Business," by Els· beth E. Frendenthal, gives a clean cut view of aviation, a business that promises to be more momentous than the the Wright brothers who gave it birth ever dreamed it could be. Here is a book depicting the growth of the airplane from 1903 through all the trials, tribu· lations and successes it has suf· fered and achieved. "The Avia• tion Business" is one of those too ra,re pieces of work that combines the factual side with good lively entertainment.

This compares closely with the time of two minutes and fifty seconds taken for emptying the building April 30. The time Friday was quite fast in spite of the fact that a boy on crutches had to get out of the building after the others. It an alarm is sounded between classes pupils are to use the near· est stairwells and nearest exits, but maintain the same formation which they use during classes, two abreast on the steps and four abreast leaving the outside exit doors.

PLAYMATE, COME OUT AND PLAY WITH ME
Teacher in 1892 Had Students Older Than She Since she was only 16 when she began to teach in the small Bohemian community of Touhy, a few miles north of Valparaiso, in 1892,. many of Mrs. Nellie Magee's pupils were older than she was. It was rather hard to control some of them, especially the boys who came in after the corn had been husked and only a few months remained. One of their favorite tricks was to place a stone ,over the chimney, so it would smoke up the room. Mrs. Magee is the grandmother of Oliver and Elmer Magee, sophomore and junior respectively in Lincoln high school. Her parents and grandparents homesteaded near Valparaiso in the 1860's. Her uncle, being a soldier of the Civil war, was given a homestead. Other people had to pay $1.25 an acre. She has in. her possession some of the furniture her grandfather, who was a carpenter, had made and brought to Nebraska in a covered wagon. "I had two pupils, a boy, 5, and a girl, 20, who could not speak a word of English," continued the small white-haired lady, as she fed graham crackers to her young grandson, "so I had to teach them language too." Each pupil then brought his own books to school. Since more emphasis was placed on reading, a child was grad\ld according to the reader was on-first, second, etc.

1918 Car Still Runs and In 'Pink of Condition' Some of Lincoln high's pupils have s9uvenirs of the World war, others have papers carrying news of the armistice, but very few have a car that was built when the war ended. Bob Stump, senior, is part owner of a 1918 model "CrowElkhart. '" The car is in perfect running conui~frin because it has been sitting in a ga.rage since 1924 and with the exception of having to push to start it, and a few minor eniine uifficulties, the owners have little to worry about except gas. Of course they had to overhaul it under a street light one night and it had to be almost completely rewired so it could be driven at night, but when these things were fixed t he car ran beautifully for almost a day. It is back in a garage again but not for long. They have merely turned it in to have Sloppy Joe fix it. They had the car up to 40 miles p er hour but could go no faster because it almost blew away~

Stricken with a plague of underregistration, English 12, Shakespeare, and the creative writing course English 13 were abandoned tem pora r ily. The declining · enrollment of the former has been a ttributed to the appearance of English 19, but cla sses w ill probably be resumed when 19's novelty h as worn off.

Cafeteria Staff Prepares Food For All Tastes How would you like to peel sixty pounds of potatoes at one sitting or bake eight chocolate cakes all at once? The workers in the school cafeteria have to, in order to meet the demand of 1,100 pupils in fin; weather and 1,200 to 1,400 in winter. Chili is the favorite food in cold weather, but n ow that spring is in the air, (or · is it? . it will bring with it a pple salads, carrot salads and all salads in general. "Not so long ago cherry was the best liked pie but now its close rivals are soft cream pies, such as coconut and banana," states Mr. Pierce, chief cook. When preparing a tasty dish at home one puts in a "pinch" of salt, but that same tasty dish at school would require a cup of salt. One need never worry about dashing to the store at the last minute for a can of beans at the cafeteria since all food is purchased in large quantities and the meals are all carefully planned. Seven women work full time and ten women in rush seasons. There is a small per cent of breakage in the cafeteria, although, a few times, it has been known, a tray of plates will be dropped or will fall from a t a ble. Dishes are· replaced generally because of wear.

THE ADVOCATE
Lincoln high's baseball squad suffered a 5-3 setback at the hands of Omaha Tech a t Fontenelle Park in Omaha Tuesday, May 21. Tech opened the scoring in the second inning on two costly Lincoln errors. Tech scorE:d two more in the third inning lj.nd pushed its final tally across in the last of the sixth. Lincoln scored two runs in the third inning a nd a lone tally in the sixth, but went down in order in its half of the seventh inning to end the game. Big gun in the Tech a ttack was John Szczpaniak, who besides hurling the game, smashed out a double and triple in two times at bat. Bill Jennings and Ed Hall led Lincoln's batting attack, Jennings smashing a triple and Hall two singles. Jennings hit a ball clear out of the park but it was foul about a foot, which was a tough break with one man on base. The Tech game marked the finis of competition in athletics for some of Lincoln high's outstanding athletes in the past two years. Bill Jennings, who h~s received seven letters, played his last contest for Lincoln. H a rvey Lauer , Charles Gordon, Don Desch, Harold Lovell, Mark Sheffert, Gayland Glass, Joe O'Connor and Bob Gropp all completed outstanding ca reers.

Floyd Wilkinson Pitching Star Is Ping-Ponger As well as being a center on Lincoln high's basketball team, a pitcher on the baseball team, being placed on the honorary Missouri Valley conference team, winning second place honors in the conference individual scoring, gaining a spot on the thirtieth Annual Nebraska state tournament honorary team, and a second string berth on the Omaha WorldHerald's all state t eam, Floyd Wilkinson, senior, is a "betterthan-average" ping-pong player and likes · to fish wherever there's a stream and even a hint of a fish. Plays in Ban Johnson League. Floyd has more or less anticipated his participation in baseball because he started playing when he was 13. Last summer he played with the Ban Johnson league and has a contract foi::...this summer. Like most boys, Floyd likes everything to eat and has no fa· vorite food. "I like baseball better than basketball" was Floyd's answer to which of the two sports he likes best. As for his plan'l when he grad·· uates from ·high-well-they are still indefinite.
Youths Cooperate With Police · Force Joe Carroll, night captain of the Lincoln police force, said that the low crime rate in Lincoln is due mostly to the splendid co-operation between youths and the police department. Captain Carroll wants to be a friend of the young people. H e invites them to come down to the police station to see how this branch of the government works to enforce laws for public safety. If people knew the laws and the penalties for breaking these laws, there might not be so many violations. The captain relates that most of the trouble in Lincoln is with car thefts. This is a serious problem because it often leads to greater offenses and a life of crime. His advice to youths who are going around with a criminally inclined crowd is to be wise and drop out of the crowd, before it is too late.
Aquaplaning Will Wash Sweat Off Your Brow Do a ny of you plan to · go aquaplaning this summer ? Before you jump into your bathing suit and climb onto that innocent looking board, take a word of profound advice from Burl Martin, junior. Burl is well equipped to "tell all" about this invigorating sport because he has ridden both· the Arkansas river and the Pacific ocean. "The aquaplane is truly a wicked thing," said Burl with a grin, "it has been likened to an· ironing board or a coffin lid, and a coffin lid is just about what it has been for more than one unlucky i1:dividual." When you first attempt to ride this apparatus, it seems all too simple, according to Burl's own experience. "You get along a ll right until a choppy wave hits you," he explained. "Well, after you come up for air and get on again you know it isn't as simple as it looks!" "But don't )('et me wronl!'." Hurl added, "it's a great sport that you can get a lot of fun out of it-that is-a long with the scares arid bruises." "My only advice to anyone who decides to take up aqua planing, is to be sure your insurance is paid up first," concluded Martin.
Golfe"h;, Netters Split at Tech The Lincoln high golf team defeated a strong Omaha Tech foursome Tuesday afternoon on the Dundee golf course in Omaha.

Sports Chatter In the hustle and bustle of baseball and track, the softball team seems to have been sadly neglected; Although it is still in the organizing stage, it has promises of being a popular sport with· in a few years. Ralph Beechner, who is in charge of this sport, said he could schedule only two games for this season, both being with Jackson. Roy Anderson, ex·Lincoln high student, who is now , professional at East Hills Country cluh, stat .. o "that, to become a pro, you must start . a't the bottom as if going to school." Roy was first a caddie for six years and assistant professional for two years and finally made the grade and became a professional Roy said when ., __ • trying to •~M•" now to play golf a person should take lessons from a professional so as not to form any bad habits. Roy stated tha~ most of the good golfers of today started out as caddies. Bud Daniel, first string catcher on this year's baseball t eam, is moving to Casper, Wyoming. He will return to Lincoln about the first of July to play on the Blues, but is going to go to school in Casper next semester. Bud, .while in Lincoln high, lettered two year s on the baseball team and one year on the basketball team. Lloyd Mills, better known as Tiny, first class seaman in the Navy, returned home for a twelveday stay. Tiny graduated with the class of '37. He made quite a reputation boxing for Y. M. C. A. and has won twelve bo.uts in the navy. He will leave June 5, for the West Indies with the fleet. Hoping to B"''" back titular honors 1n the state junior Legion b aseball t ournament, FriJ.nk :Mueller ha s begun to pick boys for Lincoln's entry. Bill , Jennings, first-baseman, Ed Hall, third-sacker, Wesley Maser, a good hitter and a capable ball hawk, Joe O'Connor, shortstop and Lamond Shaw, pitcher and shortstop, are the only returning veterans. Most p romising newcomers to Mue!ler are Bud Daniel, catcher, Bob Gropp and Allen Wilson, pitchers, Bob Rubino, secpnd baseman, and Kevy Phillips, outfielder. All these boys should make the s qua d as all o f the1n h a v e b een on the Llncoln hig h team and Mueller has seen just how the boys play together. The · state elimination will begin early in July.
Amateur Radio Operating Increasingly Popular Hobby, Says Lincoln High Ham "Amateur radio is currently increasing in popularity as an important hobby," are the words of John Brand, a member of the Radiolinks and an amateur who operates his own amateur station. When asked why he had chosen amateur radio as his hobby, John replied, "One day, at the age of eleven, I was fortunate to· visit a man who operated an amateur station. At the first moment I knew I was interested in radio. Some wa y or other the int erest got into my blood and stayed there. Ever since that time I ha ve read about radio in magazines a nd books which I checked out from the city library, a nd thus from those sources I obta ined m y information concerning the building of radios." "I spent three weeks in concen-
tives who wer e in danger. These operators could not accept money for their services which h a:d relieved so many people of their worries. There are about 50 active amateurs in Lincoln and approximately 40,000 in the United States. During the football season John assisted other electricity pupils in running the scoreboard in the oval, reporting the down!! and yards to go to other boys putting the cards up on the scoreboard, via a microphone connected to a plug on the curb of the track. In c01;1clusion John said, "I believe amateur radio is a fine hobby to have during spare time."
trated study before I obtained my amateur license," John went on to say. "To pass this test I had to be able to send and receive thirteen words a minute in the International Morse Code." John then explained how he obtains material for building his set, "Most of the radio parts I get from other hams, ·a name given · to all amateur . operators,. by trad· ing. Parts I couldn't obtain by this method were · received by sending off to radio companies." John usually plans his sets by the diagrams in the radio books, putting together . the different ideas to suit himself~ No amateur can t ake money for services rendered to othei' people. As an example, last spring during the hurricane in the ea st, amateur operators played a large part in informing pe rsons not in the stricken areas about their rela-
That the Advocate is one of th_e finest high school papers ever seen is the opinion of Miss Sally Jarnett and her class of journalisvi at the high school 7'f Ramona, Kansas. "The simplicity but striking formations of the sentences interests me the most," said Miss Jarnett, "a s that is what my class has been striving for all this term." "My class enjoyed the articles about the clubs." continued Miss Jar nett, "because our school is not large enough to have them, and the new sound system is the m ost useful a nd interesting problem ever tried in a high school." A copy of the Advocate had been sent to the high school by a student of the journalism class in Lincoln high in exchange for a copy of the Ramona paper, a mimeographed monthly.

Pupils Receive Letter Awards
Lefty Glass Finishes Pitching Duties at L.H.S.
Jennings and Laue1• Only Three Sports Lettermen in L.H.S.
Lefty Gla ss who finished his col· crful high school career last week, has been the ace southpaw pitcher on Lincoln high's squad. Glass, for three years one of the best pitchers in high school baseball, won two games for Lincoln in the state tournament. Both were masterful exhibitions of pitching. For twenty consecutive innings, the opposing teams did not score a run off of his offer ings. Up to the game with Creighton Prep, Glass had T1''' • a llowed more th" " earned run in seven 6 ames. The colorful "lefthander," a modest athlete who would i·ather get a base hit than eat, will be sorely missed by Lincoln high in the fut11rc.
Recognition was given to the various groups of athletes at the awa rds assembly Monday. Those who received girls athletic awards presented by Miss Lil• ilan Story were: Kathryn Galloway

Leroy lhrie '37, Says World's Fair JVorklnteresting Despite Bad Hours "New Yor k and the World's Fair are everything people say they are!" This is what Leroy Ihrie, '37, has to say about it. He was employed by the American Express Co. as a "chair guide" at the World's F a ir last summer. Leroy, who attended the fair with Orpha Anderson, '37, and several other boys selected from the university, said that it was a n experience he would never forget and even though the work wa s hard and had very bad hours it was interesting at all times. All- chair operators had master passes which entitled them to free entrance into almost every exhibit on the grounds. One of the boys received a $100 tip from the daughter of J. P. Morgan. Tipping is very common in the east and people are sometimes very generous. They lived in an establishment which was directly across the street from the Chrysler building and only a block from the Grand Central station. Going to work by subway meant that they had to leave about one half-hour earlier because it required that much time

Nebraska Coed Is Only Woman' To Edit Sports
bower, the only woman to cover m en's sports, was featured in Robert L. Ripley's "Believe It or Not" column . Covering the Nebraska-Minnesota game in 1938 was the professional debut of Miss Bierbower. While in the Gritner high school she rewrote sports notes that were sent into the weekly paper and this brought about her appetite to write sports. As a freshman in the university, Miss Bierbower used to go down to the stadium to watch the football team practice. Miss Bierbower said that her greatest thrill was derived from covering the Nebraska-Minnesota game, the first time Nebraska won in many years, but as she · looks back at that story she thinks that it is the worst thing that she has ever written. "It is not hard .for a. w oman to succeed in writing sports. The only difficulty for. a woman is that she is not able to interview the athletes in the dressing room as a

to get to the grounds from where they lived. The happy thing about it was that it cost them ·only a nickel. "We got home faster than when we were going to New York," r,aid Leroy. 'It was very easy. We tQok a bus to the Holland tunnel and pointed our thumbs in the general dfrection of Nebraska. We were there only a short time when two fellows pulled up and said, 'hop in,' which we did, We expected a short ride but instead we got free passage to Cedar Rapids, Iowa where the two fellows lived. Omaha was reached in two more rides and then we took the train from Omaha to Lincoln." This was about all Leroy had to say about his trip but he did offer one bit of advice to those few who read this, ·"Don't Hitchhike." He said they were very lucky to get their rides so quickly and easily, but he stated that he· had talked with many boys who had hitchhiked and were stranded in small towns for· months. Leroy hopes to. return to the Fair again this summer but only as a visitor and not an employe.

Discus Record ls Recognized By Committee After a thorough investigation by the records committee of the National Federation of State High School Athletic associations, the 174 feet 2 1h inch discus throw of Howard De bus has been approved and allowed for _a national interscholastic record. This throw was made at the York invita tional nieet this year, and has been bettered by Howard only once, this being a previous throw of 180 feet that was disallowed because of a foul. Says C. W. Whitten, secretary, "The only possible exception to this would be that the record might be exceeded between now and the time of the publication of the guide. I shall have to inform you, however, that I do not think any such achievement is likely to occur." Thus into the books goes the record of one of Lincoln high'• greatest athletes,

First Evenin.O' " Sermon Draws Large Group Higli School Students 'Essentially Religious,' Says Mr. McConnell In 'The Big Parade' That youth is essentially religi-
ous was the statement of the Rev. Raymond A. McConnell Sunday evening at the senior class service in the First Plymouth Congregational church. Speaking on the subject "The Big Parade," the minister stated that every person has something within him which inakes him believe that he is bet· ter than just the amount of money he.is able to earn. Declaring that religion was not cinly attending Sunday school or church every Sunday, but that it was a deep faith in the basic goodness of human beings and God, the . Rev. Mr. McConnell said that a true religion did not stop at churches o~ cr&ds. It was necessary to believe that man wants to be good and not bad because of a few exceptions. The minister

as
idealistic as the American youth," the speaker said, accounting for that fact by the bequeathing of these ideals from the forefathers who suffered and fought in order to pass them down and make some of them come true. Under the direction of Dr. Arthur E. Westbrook, Nate Holman, a former Links, sang the lovely ."If V>'ith All Your Hell.rt"" by Mendelssohn. Martha Vernon, junior, assisted in the playing of the carrillon bells. · About 1,200 persons attended the service.

. LINCOLN. HIGH SCHOOL, LINCOLN· NEBRASKA,
Seniors Voice Startling 0 pinions on Present War in Questionnaire Consulting each of 571 graduatfog seniors, recently devised Ad• vocate qeustionnaire has cast an illuminating light on the attitude of Lincoln high students toward one of the problems which looms largest before them, war. Exactly 92. percent of the boys definitely stated that they would have no participation in a war fought on European soil, while the warrior instinct forged to the top in 7 percent -who would become a part of the European conflict. In defense of the Monroe doctrine, 96 percent of the males of the class of '40 would take a rms t o stem an invasion of South America. Only 4 percent would not deem this reason enough for wa r. To the question, "Would girls he willing to work in factories and fields during war?" Eighty-seven percent of the senior girls answered yes, while 13 percent gave a negative reply. Concerning compulsory military training in Lincoln high, the American ideal of personal freedom again· asser.ted itself as 60 . percent turned• thumbs down to this proposition. But 40 percent would favor such an innovation as military training.
' There were 74 percent of the opinion that the present lunch period is sufficient time, but 26 percent uttered the old cry of "More time to eat." If general public opinion may be judged by the seniors replies, Lincoln high evidently does not overemphasize athletics, as 91 percent of those who a nswered do not believe that "muscle" is receiving too much attention in ou school. In reply to the question "What activity benefited you most in Lincoln high school?" the ~,;p answers were sports, -dubs, dramatics, band and numerous different activities. Eighty-eight percent \Vere opp osed to the placing of all public schools under a federal g~vern ment bureau while 12 percent would favor such a move. Concerning the sponsoring of social functions by the school, 57 percent did not think enough of this was done. The remaining 43 percent answered that enough were already being sponsored. Fifty-eight percent of the senior students believe that clocks in every. room do not breed clockwatchers, yet 42 percent believe they do. .•

To Sponsor News Period New Sound System T9 Be Employed in Morning Broadcast During Home Room The A dvocate is going to answer one of the many questions asked about the school's new sound system next fall when school convenes. It w ill sponsor and head a n~w phase of newspaper work, that of broadcasting news over the sound system. Plans are for a period each morning during hom e room period, devoted to the announcing of such things as bulletins, high school news, and any important · world news of common interest. .This type of work ·will necessitate t he development J.f a. technique now used only in radio. News will have to be gathered and edited in a very. short time and a person, best suited, w ih have to ca:-t it. This will provide an opportunity for pupils wishing act ually to go into radb or newspaper work, for it will accustom them to the pressure under w hich their work must be done. Arrangement for the provision of world news w ill involve several technicalities. However, these will be worked out during the summer and a short news period, which will be of benefit to all, is expected to operate smoothly and completely next fall.

Literary Thrills Aplenty Pack Cover To Cover of Brown and Beige Scribe' Bringing with it a wealth of excellent work in both poetry and prose, the Scribe has appeared and alongside the Links, makes its bow as the waning days of the school year draw near. This year writers club publication is a study in black and white, contrasting the solemnies of war and death with the lighter, sunnier side of every day life. "Scotty McFarland," a poem by Harriet Hayes leads this latter more frivolous group, being· the tale of "wee young lassie of six." "Noseiness" and the interest one befuddled human takes in another equally confused one is personified in "Sister Gives Advice'; by Betty Jean Evans. This is the delightful tale; humanly alive, of the interest a young mother's sister takes on affairs which wholly do not concern her. "The Letter" by Jane Johnson, and "In The Locket" by Betty Schultz are also interesting. Changing to the more somber part of the book, "Conquest" by Melvin Johnson is the cold, gray story of the spite and maliciousness that throb through a small town. "A Warning" by Patricia Putney is good verse as is "Sonnet" by Betty Hertzler. "This Honored Chain" by William Todd .is the tale of a young king's decision to resist invasion. War again raises its name in
a poem, "Question" by Althea Ware which rings of a cynical note of youth about to die in war. Others grouped about the same t heme are "Poland's War" by Imogene Barnes, "War Then and Now," by Herbert Norman. "Birthdf\y" by Jayne Lynn is exceedingly well w ritten, as is "Blue Sapphire·• by James Nickerson. Other pieces are "To a Camera" by Don Wilson; "The Tower" by Dorothy Baruch; "Perspective;" "Loud Silence" and ''Sketches" by Althea Ware; "Macabre Drama and Seeds" by Betty Hertzler; "Rain on Lake Superior,'' "Nebraska Landscape" and "Moods" by Patricia Peterson; "My Radio," "Easter," "On Rising" by Mary Fredenhagen; "These Little Things" by Georgia Walker; "The Choir Master" by Winifred Nelson; "W!!-ter" by Jean Rotton; "The Rose and the Thistle" by Ruthann Robertson; " Lo v e 1 y Things" by Elsie Fischer; "A Hat" by Norm an Capsey; "Lost Dream,'' "Sunlight and Shadow," and Snatches, "Life's Page," "The Charge of the Light Brigade.

L.H.S. Health Defeels Are Less According· to Mrs. Mary Mapes, schom nurse, records show a definite increase in the correction of h~alth defects over last year. R e ports show 249 Lincoln high school students have got new glasses this school year; 71 have had their tonsils removed and more than 1250 have had some sor t of dental wor k done. F urther investigation shows that 2165 have been vaccinated against smallpox and 1447 have had toxin anti-toxin as a prevention against diphtheria.
.Toy Night, t raffic school, E. C. A . records, citizenship activities, tardy pennants, hall g uards, lock er inspectors, matinee pa~ties, club schedule, safet y and clean-up campaigns. These are a few of the activit ies and accomplishments of the student council during this semester. Undoubtedly, three packed houses for Joy Night were the highlight of the council's varied · activities. This w as outstanding because of the fact that it was the first time that Joy N ight ha d been given on Thursday evening as well as on Friday and Sat ur~ day. The participat ion of 250 s t udents and faculty members in this extravaganza on t he Rio Gr ande, added t o its ext reme success. Bryce Alberty and Roxa nna Brown were advertising and business managers. Credit is due the officers: John Provost, president, Connie McCauley, vice-president, a nd Emma Seifert, secretary-treasurer. "Prospects for next year's council are .bright," stated John Provost, "but this years' has been quite co-operative and efficient." Ardis Lyman's citizenship committ ee under the direction of the faculty citizenship commit tee arranged the informat ive display of posters in the main corridor outside 204, last month. The subjects of these posters, init iative, leadership, honesty, courtesy and dependability, were taken from the citizenship rating slips. Prompt pennants and tardy n umbers again a ppeared in home rooms. The dut ies of hallguards and locker ch eckers w ere carried nnt. rn1itP as effi cientlv as in former semest ers. Mary J o Latsch accounted for the success of the matinee parties. A complete record of student s' extra curricular activities is on file in the office. Emma Seifert was chairman of the E. C. A . committee. Anot her a ccomplishment of the . student council was t he second annual traffic school under the direction of Lt. Pau l Shively. Seventytwo pupils received certificates at the completion of this instruction. Arrangements for t his were complet ed by Connie .McCauley, chairman of the safety committee. Sponsors are Miss H elen Dunlap and Miss Marguerite Gundermann.

Oh Dear, Women Do All the Work in Ea.st Africa, lJten Just Take It Easy "Women do all the wor k while the men take it easy," according to a letter received by Charlotte McKnight from her grandmother who lives in Kampala, Uganda, which is located in British East Africa. Mrs. Pierce m oved to Kampala (a city populated with 500 white people) from London last August when war was in,evitable. Kampala, Iii.re' Nebrask a, has red dust storms. At present the dry season is in progress a nd it is very hot. Mrs. Pierce says that life in Kampala is very dull. She attends the theater once a week and sees A m e r i c a n pictures. Ev.e ryone dresses formally for the movies. The natives sit downstairs while the w hite people sit upstair s. Because of the intense heat, t he people do not participate in sports as
we do. The only s port they ha ve is elephant hunting. Before vegetables can be eaten they have t o be disinfected because of the bugs and insect s which get into them. A lso the w a· ter must be boiled before drinking it. Mrs. Pierce says that ser vants are very cheap. Clothes worn by the native are eitner cotton or silk a nd display bright warm colors. The white people buy their clot hes in t he one sh op in Kampala. This shop im ports its cloth es from Canada and a house dress is sold for $3. Fresh flowers have to be Im ported from a town 400 m iles away. Mrs. Pierce says tha t a s soon as the war is over she will move back to London.

Battle-Scarred Sword·Is Relic ·Of French War Imagine a battle in tlie Franco• Prussian war. A bold Frenchman, leaps up, raises his sword, and plunges it into the breast of a hated foe. ' There is no ~finite proof, but this may have been the case with the sword owned. by the father of George Glanz, sophomore. George brought to Miss Esther Montgomery's. first period English 4 class a sword with this inscription, "MRE IMPALE DE CHA'.l'T, · FEVRIER, 1868." This, according to Gilbert Rogers, means "Made at the Imperial Faetory of (Chateaubriant or Chatellerault), Febru!lry, 1868." The sword, which is also a bayonet, has a blade length of twentythree and one-half inches. It has a brass .hilt with a hand print literally worn into it by the long· gruelling hours of fighting. The long, curved sheath has the serial number 053137 inscribed upon 1t. On the hand guard, · which has a very curious shape with a knob on the end, is the number A16439. There are various single letters and numbers on the sword which, according to Mr. Rogers, signifies the man who made it. In addition to the regular markings, there are many dents and cuts on the sheaf of the sword as though bullets or a sword had struck there. It is not a sword of great value, but of intensely interesting value.

Continue Dandelion Drive; Students' Aid Needed Due to droughts and the extremelv hot .summers the real beauty of Lincoln h~s for many years been gr.aduall7 destroyed. People ~s,d to have grass in. their yards without havmg to spend constant time tending it, but now all .that may be s-een in some once· gr·een yards are weeds, the worst of which are little low plants with y ellow flowers known as ditndelions. · A f~w weeks ago, everyone worked hard to get rid of dandelions in a drive sponsored by the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce. Althou~h manY: people worked diligently to rid the city of this tremendous disadvantao·e fewer 0 than one-third of the dandelions w ere destroyed. When that drive was over how manv pupils weut on taking out dandelions 1 Pe;. haps their fathers went on clearine- their··own yards, but the high school students thought that they had finished their share of the work. All Of those who did so well last week deserve a certain amount of praise, but the ones who will continue throughout the summer will win praise from their families and direct or in direct thanks from everyone in the city of Lincoln. Gradually, although it may take years to do, dandelions might disappear from the city of Lincoln through ·the cooperation of this and the future generation. There will be no immediate reward to those who do this v.;ork, but deep in their hearts they should have a feeling of satisfac- tion in the improvement of the looks of the city of Lincoln. Why don't the l1igh school students. with their younger brothers •md sisters, spend some of their spare time helpip.g the whole city rather than doing thing·s which will pull down their own social and community positions ?

After high school, what next 'I The above question is one that every 1enior is now pondering over. Some have made their vocational choice and some say they hope to discover their vocation in their first year in university; others simply don 't know. It has been proved time and time again tha.t the average senior in high school or freshman in university is '\.villing merely to guess with you as to his future. .F'or those pupils it is too late for the preliminary courses that are essential before one can expect success in many of the courses offered by a university. But why are these pupils in this awkward position ~ Merely because they didn't plan for any one vocation, but jumped around learning a little of everything and specializing in nothing. But now take the other pupil who, although not certain what he wants to be, has a general idea what, field it will be in. Perhaps he does 'vell in mathematics and drafting. From this he can become an accountant, bookkeeper, engineer and many other things that require a mathematical mind and a skilled hand. Maybe · his interests lie in science, from this spring 's forestry, chemistry, agriculture, medicine and niany other things that require a · scientific brai11 or at least an interest in the study of nature and its beings. The best thing a pupil can do is analyze himself and find out what he can do and prescribe for himself an education in that general direction in which his talent lies, before it is too late and he finds himJ~41f not ·a success as anJnciividual, but just a creature in the mass of humanity on this world.

Girl Completes L.H.S~ Studies In Two Years The class of '41 lost ·one of its best students when Jose11liine Welch decided to gracJ.uate from high school in two years, instead of the usual three years. ' She is graduating this spring and is a member of the national honor .society. This is an unusual thing for any student to do, as it takes brains and ability which Josephine ob· viously has. However in order to do this Josephine had to sacrifice two summer's vacation in order to attend summer school. Her advice to other ambitious students is, "Don't try it. It isn't fun and you will always regret it." She is taking an arts and science course and has been able to squeeze in many extra curricular activities. She was a Links board assistant, Clef club treasurer, writers club secretary and historian, and belonged to Mummers, Mimes and orchestra. Nevertheless Josephine is still sorry she ever attempted to do this because she has missed .out on so many of the privileges other students enjoy.

THE NIGHT BEFORE MY ENGLISH TEST.
By Louise Putney. The verbs and I fell down the stairs But r~ally didn't mind, Because ,you see, we know that all the Nouns were far behind. The adverbs sang as best they could . To cheer us on our way. But then the nouns pounced on the verbs And quickly ran away. I mustered up the adjectives
And stood them in a row, I captured a 11ubordinate clause Who told us where to go. We ran and ra:n and ran and ran The gerunds spurred us on, And commas plied us all with words But soon they, too, were gone. And then we saw a participle Hanging from a bough And as we turned the corner had Conjunction with a cow. I woke up in the morning bright My head was far from clear. But, speaking of my troubled night My English test was near.
World Changes Troublesome To Teachers While the dictators are pushing human checkers about the checker board ca!Ied Europe, history teachers of Lincoln high are work· ing themselves to mere shadows 'spending sleepless nights trying to design a pattern by which to teach history with their obsolete books. Because the map of Europe changes about as fast as Nebraska weather, map-makers and authors are a bit reluctant for fear the boundaries will change before the plates hit the press. The board of education can. do nothing but sit back and be miserable, because the limited funds provide for a change of books about once every five years. The situation has become so bad that blank maps are furnished for the teacher, who fills in the bound· aries. One teacher became so disgusted that she issued the ultimatum, "For tomorrow learn the terms of the treaty of Versailles, then forget them for the last one was just- violated two hours ago." So the next time during . a class discussion when a city or nation . is spoken of which you know is off the map, hold your tongue .for twenty-four hours and await further developments.

item from a Household magazine Of 1868. "The liberty allowed the average American girl is the wonrler and despair of foreign mothers. '!.We wish to call attention in this paper merely to the habit, comman among young women and girls: of using chocolate to excess. "The chocolate and candy habit with tea sipping, preserves and pastry are quite enough to upset the stomach of the healthiest girl.

Ervin Landegren Wins First Prize Ervin Landegren, the gentleman in the bookroom, won first prize in the city newspapers golf class in the men's adult class held at New Kirk's driving range. For hi11 efforts he received• a wood which he will add to the set of clubs he already hM. He stated, "The lessons a1·e a fine thirig and I think they should be continued." Landegren had been using the baseball ~rip which hindered his swing, but now he is using an overlapping grip which is the standard grip of most of the pro· fessionals. "It gives me more pQwer and flexibility to my swing· arid · I get longer and straighter drives·" continued Landegren. ' 'i'he night that the prizes were awarded the pupils were required to drive out golf balls. At first there· was an elimination contest where three contestants at a time drove out two balls apiece. V\'hen they came around to start giving prizes, Ed Newkirk, the teacher, said that two fellows had tied and they each had to drive three balls out. When Landegren heard he had won, it amazed him for he thought that the other fellows were having it out for first and second. The prizes given were two woods, two irons, a golf bag and several two month's free passes t.o Pioneer's.
So You Think You've Been in Jams?
This Story Will Change Your Mind Maybe you think that you were in a jam the time that you studied the wron~· chapter for a history examination and thought that the battle of Maine had something to do with what happens when your mother catches you in the Marmalade jar, but as someone said, "You ain't seen nothin' yet." Just let me tell you a bout the spot I was in the _day I didn't have my Spanish lesson. R was one of those days that you not only get out on the wrong side of the bed but you have to stop on the way to school so that a regiment of black cats can cross the street in front of you. So just to 11tart the morning off right, I discovered that it was my turn to put several Spanish verbs on the board for the r est of the class to write. Well, with some quic'k guesser:ii I got the first five words on the board and went back to my seat, but in my absence the vacant seat behind mine was occupied by none other than our principal. Now, don't get me wrong, principal!!~ are all righ-;. and as a r..:::.e they don't bother me-Much ~ but on a Monday morning that .I'd somehow forgotten to get my assignment I would much rather have had that crazy little guy with a little black mustache . sitting back there and shouting accusingly at me, "Blitzkrieg im. Blitzkrief im." \ Don't sympathize yet though because as someone else said, "You ain't heard the half of it."
Try This Remedy for A Blank Summer Are you confronted with a summer of bfank time? If so, don't use Dr. Ace's Hi· bernating pills. Excellent time fillers are inexhaustible. If you are athletically inclined, there are good old stand-bys, such as swimming, playing tennis, rid· ing, playing golf. But if you want to be quite individual, why not take up dart throwing, playing badmihton, deck tennis, ·bowling-on-the-green ("Y o u r lawn will do), lawn-checkers, paddle tennis, eather tennis, or even ring,toss. Muscle-seekers might even turn to mowing the lawn, or trimming the hedge, or digging the dandelions. If you would rather stay in· side and not risk your life with the chance of sunstroke, consider some of these: sewing, knitting, painting, sketching, making any number of things with your hands, readin·g , practicing, writing (letters or oth· erwise), or cooking. Of course', if none of these interest you, make use of Dr. Ace's Hibernating pills, andoh well-~eaisant dr.eams.

Things went steadily from worst to whatever is worste_r than worst. First we had a little 15 word test, five of which incidentally were mine, and after a gruelling 15 minutes the papers were ·graded and el professor a.~ked how many pupils got 10 of the 15 correct. In response to this a very generous sprinkling of hands indicated that a number of pupils had studied but it wasn't·my turn. Oh me , not yet! Not until he asked with a I dangerous gleam in his eye if anyone ·had missed as many as 10 words. Then up into the gloom cast air shot a solitary hand among a mass of disapproving frowns. Yep, you guessed. Yours truly again, and to top that off I · had to admit that I'd missed ! of the 5 worcl.s flabbergasted "!" had written on the board. I guess that just about finishes my personal catastrophe except that a little later in the period the teacher asked me three questions abo11t the lesson and I couldn't answer tirree of them. In closing however, I'd like to make one last plea and that is if you find a guy roaming around the halls with his shirt tail out, his hair down in his eyes, plus a week growth of beard and he mumbles something about making· people eat Spanish books, kindly mail him C. 0.

Seniors Insist They Learned Something (???) School being practically over and have nothing to do, I decided to collar some dazed senior and try to find an itemized account of the knowledge he, (or she), had accumulated in his, (or her), three (or four), years in high sch_ool. The result is herewith painstakingly set down ; in a year by year computation. Sophomore year : found out that Caesar is pronounced '(Kyser) not (Sees-er). The shortest ctistance between 101 and the cafeteria is thruogh the boys gym. Never g·et up before 8:00 o'clock. Blondes are -better than brunettes. Junior year: logarithm of (3)33 equal one 1Jeadache. Romanoff was the ruling family of Russia before the "Reds" letter day. Brunettes are better than blondes. Senior year: mastered official pass system and am now master of my fate; a roadmaster Buick will do 90 m . p. h. in second; chocolate-marshmellow-coke is another rare name for T. N. T.

This is the last issue of thti Advocate this year and the last cf the Stati« as far as ~ are concerned; Last Friday · Johnny Provust came to us to tell us that in all his years ( ?) in high school he has never had his name in the Static column so we will endeavor to satisfy what must be a suppressed desire. It seems as if Ruth Ferguson heard some very unusual birdies while attending the senior picnic at the Capitol Beach. At least she dedicated this poem tu he'r cause: I stood by the '' saucer ' ' and Dotty and he; l jumped on, Jim jumped on, we jumped on all three; ''Good lurk" cried the crowd as the turntable turned; "Whee!" it was fun though my hands fairly burned; I stood up and tried to g·et on it once more, I tripped and the saucer threw me on the floor. I ·was knocked out completely; they carried me off. · Oh my head! Oh my hip! It hurt even to cough. John Provost is also popular with the stude11t body.

Buy an Activity Ticket Next Year Attention all you football fans : If you wa nt to see the L . H. s. foot ball team in action next yea r, it would be a pretty good idea to get out a nd work a couple of weeks during vacation a nd earn a couple of dollars. If · you buy an activity ticket next year, it will save you a lot of money. With the Red and Black team defending its thi rd straight state title, many tea ms will be gunning t o overthrow it.

" The dut ies of a nurse," said Mrs. Ma pes, "are varied with the dis trict a nd t h e season.

The m edical inspection r equired by the st a t e law follows the g en e e ral insp ection. The school s pecialist th en exa m ines the eyes, e ars, nos e and t hroat; the dentist, t he t eeth, and the nurses check the v ision a nd eharing.

Adventurous Spirit Outlook for '41 Mermen Bright Of Youth .Makes Although graduation will cla im Boys Criminals "Boys leave home to see th e cou ntry a nd for adventure, and then fall into the clutches of crime," said Harry J espersen , who is t he superintendent of the s tat e r efor matory . Surrounded by a n office of w ellbalanced equipment a nd mounted coyotes~ who seemed to be prot ect ing him, he settled bac k in his chair, to tell t he full story of· crime and. practices in the reformatory. "Most of the boys enrolled in this school are not graduat es of high school, and all t oo oft en, have had little or no education," he asserted. "When the boys a re enrolled we go over the list and seek out students who have little or no education, and encourag e these, to attend classes. One m a y finish a high school course, or t ake up university work, and t he classes are t aught in t he school." More .crimes could be p r evented with the a id of educating the public and with special tra ining and ~ guidance," he a sserted. "Most of t he boys t alce up a trade, which will aid them in later life. Among these are, the machine, shoe and license plate shops, also dairying, farmin~and poultr y r a ising. "Omaha and Lincoln are the two cities which a re most represented at the reformator y, and the most comm on crime commit t ed by t he hQvs is. break ine- a.nd entering , with f orger y, burg la r y, automobile st ealing, and grand larceny r a n king next in order," he explained. Before a f ellow may become a trusty, he is first studied and much r es ponsibility pla ced on hi's shoulders. If he can carry a ll of these responsibilities, much fait h 'is t hen pla ced in him , and he m a y become a t rus ty. "Some of the organizations f or t he . boys r ecr eation are the orchestra, drama tics and diff er ent sport t eams/ ' he said. " In ·celebr ation of a national holiday they hav.e chu rch services in the m or ning; a t noon they ha ve a special dinner, a nd in t he aft ernoon they m a y listen to the foot ball game, or pa r ticipa t e in some ou t door sport." "Ther e is t oo much playing up of a criminal, m a ki ng him seem more like a hero than a criminal," h e added. "Ma n y a t ime, boys in a sma ll t own commit a crime a nd the people f ind it en t ertaining, but later t hey t ir e of th is form of a m us ement, w hen the crim es a dvance bigger and bigg er a nd t hey turn the boys over to the la w."
out standing m en such as Dick McMahon, John Safford, Bill Snyder and Jerry H enderson, pr ospect s for next year 's tank squad tea m seem very bright to Coach H a rr y Kuklin, who has done remarkably w ell in tutoring the Red and Blac k ···swimmers this post season. There is a fine cr op of juniors at t he p resent time who will be back next year , but the most enlighten ing t hing about the wh ole situation is t hat proba bly one of t he finest groups of sophomores ever gathered t ogether is waiting t o jump into first team berths n ext season, some that gave the "jitters" to il few vet erans this year. L ike E d W eir, Coach K uklin is saying, "Wait un t il n ext year ." . Kuklin depended on t hese soph omores for most of his r eserve strength in the state m eet which Lincoln won for the first time this yea r and can undoubtedly count on them to help .pull the L inks t h rough another successf ul season next year.

With the spring sport s completed, L . H. S. students turn their eyes to the fall field of sports where football reigJJ.s. And the question being asked is, " Can Lincoln make it four s t a te championships in a row?" Accordin~ to Ralph Beechner, head football coach, the prospects, as far as material and situation are concerned, are the poorest ever t o greet a Lincoln high tea m. Only three lettermen are certain of returning. These are James " Step " Jones, backfield ;· "Wes" Maser, end 'a nd Bob Kersey, who lettered at guard, but will be at center when practice is. start ed, September 2. . • Coach Beechner stated that the abolition of spring practice and the moving up of t he convening time "for school in the .-fall a re also grea t detriments to a successful season. "Beach" also said t hat although next year's team would l ack the weight and experience of • l ast year's champions, L. H. S. teams' have established a tradition of goOd t eams• and that this m ight be an aid to the boys. The probable roster w hen Lincoln opens against Cr ete , September 27, will be as follows: Backs:
