With completioi:i of the sound system, there .arose, ill the minds of many, this question: "Just what will the sound system do for us?"

Young Students Give Opinions Of School Life "Too Big," "Big but a lot of fun," "Lot different than .ex· pected" are all opinions of the new sophomore heads, all of whom were presidents of their junio.r high schoo~ civic leagues last semester, They ftll approve of the way things a,re rtm at high school with the except'ion of no order in halls, but say thil, can't l:ie helped. "Things are so much different from junior high," they asserted. More freedom and .being classed as one ()f the mob was what they liked. Gi,tting used to eating lunch ~n 35 n~~nutes and coming back to third ~period they thought was the bigg~~s: vi.;~t~::la \o overcoi'ilfi. :;;;_[,ough they approved ot l.i-..; ::!~? of staying at school for lunch. Too much hurry and . the size of their · classes were their only criticism. "There are more chances for social contacts and making new friends," was their belief. All are interested in coming school activities, and all girls are going to fry out for the Peppers, and hope they make it. Members of the sophomore cabinet . are Joyce Stuve, Joe Geist, Whittier; Janice Campbell, Earl Eager, Irving; Rose Phillips, Bill Farrey, Everett; also two lO'As. Betty Williams and Scott Irvine. The sophomores are planning for their first party October 4, ·at which time. talented members of the sophomore class will present the entertainment and stunts. Sponsors are Miss Ethel Beatt~e and Mrs. Gladys W. Temple.
Northeast High ·Now Underway Excavation for the new northeast high school having already started, Monday, September 24, 1940, one of the dozen or so bidders will have the school con. tract in • his hands, M. C. Lef· !er. schpol superintendent, ofticially announced Wednesday. The excavation now in . progress wlll be ready by September 20.
Two members of Lincoln high faculty were singularly honored this summer, Miss Sarah T. Muir being re-elected vice . president of the National Education association, and Miss Ethel Murray be· ing elected vice-commander of the American Legion post 103. This year at the National Education association convention held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, seminars and panel discussions were added to the program. One of these . in which Miss Muir took part, was led by Ev~rett R . Clinchy. "Ed· ucation in Human Relationships'' was the topic discussed. The keynote of t!1e convention was "What· faces the schools in time of .:nternation'a.l distress, " and Miss lv.tilir stated' ''Like many oW.;.c~.~. I believe t he ·safety of rn::r c()untry · rests largely with the schools.'; She remarked that the music at the convention was exceptional and that she had never heard such patriotic and zestful singing of our national air, "The Star Spangled Banner." Altho Nebi'aska as a state has a comparatively low membership in the N. E;'· A. every teacher in the Lincoln system has been a member for the past si~teen y"ars, a record that few cities can equal. Donald DuShane of Indiana 1s the new president of the organiza tion. Miss Murray was e_lected Vice Commander of her American Le· gion post. This honor ·carries with it a special significance since Miss Murray is the · first woman from post 103 to hold any executive office . · Miss Murray was elected vicebership in the American Legion because of her services as a nurse during the first World war and she has been an. active member of the organization for more than twenty years, being a charter member of the Omaha post. Her chief duty as Vice Commander is that of being chairman of all welfare work done by the Legion. "I feel," stated Miss Murray, • "that It is an. honor to belong to . and serve the ' American Legion." ·

0. H. Rimson, After Year's Leave, Sees lVew Educational Trends in Near Future "Modern tendencies are placing stress on less emphasis on subject m atter ; g rade placement; rig id class. schedules ; teacher's m arks; and memory of factual material," according t o 0. H . Bimson, assistant superi.n tendent of Lincoln scho_o ls, Instead, more force ,is placed on child experiences; flexible st:;hedules; real juvenile prob· lems; group conferences and study procedures ; and use of library material. Mr. Bimson returned July 1, from a t en months leave of absence. At the request of the Educational P olicy Commission (a group Of educators formed by t he Nat ional Education association · and the American Association of School Administration) , Mr. Bimson went to Washington, D . c., September 1, 1939, to become a member of a staff of. six educators. The a im of the group was to find out what high schools in diffellent sections of t he -United States were doing in the way of training the pupils to be good ·citizens. Mr. Bimson visit ed 90 high schools and made notations. After completing their visit s, the staff wrote a. book, entitled " Learning -the Way of D emocracy." Published by the Educational P olicy Commission, the book is to. appear this month and will be of much interest to teachers and pupils. During the trip, he paid particular attention to classroom pro· cedure, student activities, s chool administration and general rela· tions of persons in. community to the schools. Mr. Bimson said that there is a high degree of co-operation wit h the schools by the people here in Lincoln. He stated that school

Pupil, Interest Vital
For Democratic Rule On alternate · W ednesda.y afternoons after this, the home room representatives who were elected on September 12 leave their fift~ periods early to attend their meetings. They attend this meeting for two reasons which may bear repeating; first to protect the interests of their own home rooms in common assembly, and secondly to report on the workings and decisions of that assembly to their home rooms. The former will be w.ell taken care of as we have ehosen the best from among us for these offices. Whether the latter is accomplished or not lies with U:s. For no matter how well a congress, a parliament, or an assembly of home · room representa.tives works and no matter how many great ·things are aecompli!!hed by it, it has not accomplished its true purpose unless the citizens, its electors; are interested in it and ate ready to cooperate with it 11t all t imes. It fails in it::; pur p ose if, while a member fa trying to explain a mling, t he p eople in the home r oom are talking among themselves or are reading· or working. It fails in its purpose if the members of the home room must ask their teacher to reiterate every point already given by the representative. We know all the reasons and excuses for not eooperating .with our representative, by not listening to his report, as we have given most of them. ''The speaker is dull, and the facts that he's giving !re likewise; we mu8t do our algebra now, or else-" or the usual excuse, "We just got a book from the library, and we want to see if it's ariy good. Let 's read now ~nd a.sk the tea.Cher what this g;uy's saying later." We've g·iven these and more, and yet on looking back we find that it would not have done us any ha.rm to listen for a few "" minutes to "what this guy's saying.''

Plight of Foreign Scholars Makes Us Appreciate Schools At this time ea.eh fa:ll the atmosphere beeomes heavy with the wails of the poor Ameri~an Mhool b,oy and girl w1:0 have to return, after three months of glorious leisure, to the drudgery of sehO{>l.

Such is the plight o.f the Amel'ican school student. Now in many Europea.n countries the boys and girls do not have to worry about school opening this week or perhaps for many weeks to come. There the schools have been turned into hospitals, relief stations and store houses. !1\-fany have been burned or demolished by enemy bombs. Instead of exit drill bells, :European students hear air raid alarms. No, no one in Europe need worry about attending school at the present anyway. In this country, school has ahvays been ta.ken as a matter of course. Each September, school opens, depriving' the students of their carefree leisure for nine months. l£ something should take away from the youth of America the privilege of daily attending free school, the realization of the value of receiving a free education would quickly come to all.

These boys are pre•law and pre· medica.l students re11pectively, and are visiting the public schools that they might make comparisons with those on the Islands. So far they have found a sim!la:rlty in sys· tems. The Jl:nglish language is particularly required throughout the Hawaiian school!!, due to the conglomeration of languages among the many . r11..ce11.

The Islanders expressed t\teir delight ln finding the Middle· West so hospitable and friendly, giving thltt ali a chief reaMn for locating here. They dlplomatically handled the question of statehood tot Ha.wail, saying that it was generally de•lred by the natives. Whe"n Mk.ed if they liked our climate, Esmond replied M 'd rather be home, and many pupilli say emphatically, at that moment the palm tree11 in tlfe pattern of his gay silk shirt, actualiy bowed ·their heads. The. most popular paiitimes on f:b.e Islands are' diving, swimming and surf boa.rd riding. Most of .the Islands lre made up of l!mgarcane and pineapple plantations; The plantation laborers are paid around $18.00 a WMk, getting also tree housing, water and light. Very few people on the Islands are at present out of work, but there is a W. P . A. for the unfortunate ones.

In how many schools .are the classrooms furnished ai! they are in Lincoln high? If you don't believe that you are attending. one of the best schools in the middlewest, he suggests, stop and compa·u Llncoin high with any. other school that you ~ave attended, seen or read about, and you will always arrive . at the same conclu· sion, that you have the privilege of attending one of the best schools in the middle west.

Returning Squad Men Nail Starting Posts as Beech Puts Team Through Stiff Sessions With eight practice days remaining until the opening of the 1940 season, Ralph Beechner is depending heavily on letter men and squadmen returning from last year's state championship team. Although some reserves are seeing service a~starting positions it is mainly James "Step" Jones in the backfield with Wesley Maser and Bob "Kid" Kersey bolstering the line. Outlook Gloomy. "Beech" is not very optimistic as to the possibility of another 1tate championship, although the line is slightly more aggressive than last year's. The backfield is largely "ifs" with the exception of Jones. Some of the backs up from reserves could make Beecnner smile by developing a little more power in the pinches. This is very likely to happen and with about the same weight average in the backfield as the 1939 squad's and even more in the line L . H. S. could go places. First String Backs Undecided. After the two cuts Coach Beechner has made on the team the first two groups remain about the same, with Dale Wismer, James Jones, Eddie Hall, Dale Nelsen, Ray Boehmer and Vance Salisbury alternating in the different posts in the backfield on the number one outfit. The number two tea m uses Charley Ewell, Jay Thompson, Wilbur Wiedma n, George Howard, Bob Hawkins, George Bronstein and Dick Chapin in the secondary. In the lines where competition is now the strongest, Reinald Murray,. Chick T.horne and .W es Maser are at ends, Gordon Hall, Bill Lee and Dick Goegelin are tops in tackles; g·uar<ls are Abbie Klein , Bob Dean, Bob Kersey and J esse Damian, altho Kersey and Klein a.re seeing the most service; Newman Buckley lea ds the centers followed by Jim Deffenbaugh and Stanley Hamilton. Other linemen a.re Bill Crawford and Jack Beers, guards, Neil McPherson, Clyde Sheldon a nd Bill °Albrecht, tackles, Elmer Maser, Connie Healy, Harry Becker and Leo Beck, ends. These boys play one of the best home .schedules ever offer ed Lincoln fans and should provide thrills for holders of 1940 activity tickets. Lincoln high plays Curtis Aggies this y ear for the first time in history when they meet October
18 at Curtis, and meet one of the strongest aggregations in t he state .!Lt Grand Island, November 16.
Lincoln Blues Win Tournev .;
The Lincoln Blues baseball tea m made up entirely of students and graduates of Lincoln high ·school and coached by Frank Mueller, captured the American Legion state baseball crown, last summer.

After a few days rest, the . team journeyed to York, Nebraska, but were nosed oti.t, 4 to 3, in the finals by Enderlin, North Dakota. Fifteen men were picked by Coach Frank Mueller and .Paul Amen. The students are Bud Daniels, Allen Wilson, Harold Jacobs, Bob Gropp, Bob Rubino, Wesley Maser, Eddie Ha ll, Connie Healy, Kevy Philips, Allen Blum, Bob Jacobsen, and Lamond Shaw. Gradutes are Bill Jennings, Joe O'Connor and Charles Mueller.

Hutton Wray, equipment manager in t h e oval, seriously wrenched his back Wednesday morning, while . lifting a large metal rubbish can. He is at his home and under a physician's care. John Kroons is serving · as a substitute. Six L. H. S. boys contributed their services to the Capital City swimming meet Aug~st 1 at Capital Beach. All won firsts or seconds or thirds in their events which were as follows: Bill Snyder, junior, first, 50 fr-ee, 24.9 seconds (new record); Dick Marsh.all, first, junior, 100 yard breaststroke; Warren Emery, sen ior, second, junior 100 yard breaststroke; Stan Wentz, junior, third, junior 50 yard free, and Warren Myers, junior, first, 100 yard junior free. Three ex-Links who also won laurels in the city swimming meet of August 1 at Capital Beach are Burt AmgWert of '35, former men's champion and leading midwestern swimmer for a number of years; Les Oldfield and Don Hilgert of '38, this year's men's c~ampion.
· Amgwert copped the 50, and 200 yard freestyles, swimming exhibition. in the . 200 because of a lack in entries. Hilgert won both the 100 yard breaststroke an·d 100 yard freestyle and f inished second in the 100 yard backstroke to Les Oldfield, former L. H . S. ace. While footballers were plugging holes - In the line, workmen were · plugging holes in the roof of the school. Students met the stale odor of tar as they walked onto the grounds where workers were boil· ing it for the roof. Sacked inC:o tan bags, the tar appeared to look just like a blocking dummy. Beechner mi,ght have his boys breaking tar bags for a few nights and then look at the nice new uniforms. Eddi'e Hall, . sparkplug on last year's reserves, will help Coach Beechner forget his dream backfield of last season. Tipping the scales about 160 pounds and built under the roly-poly classification of Herman Roh rig, a former Links and now a Nebraska footballer, Eddie has been in shape all summer by helping the Lincoln Blues win the slate baseball championship. "Whoopee! new showers," is the cry echoing from . the oval dressing rooms. Seven new bright and shiny showers have been installed and are now ready for use. Not Jong ago the athletes could be heard complaining, "This shower doesn't work," and "This one leaks." But now their complaining is silenced forever because the new showers are mechanically perfect. Warren West, guard of last year 's squad, is now in H elena, Montana, where he is enrolled in high .s chool and playing fullback for the team there. He weighs about 205 pounds now and is not much taller than before. Dean Bottorff, promising halfback on the Links, will be out of the first game against Crete· because of a fractured ank le he re· ceived in practice last week. Dean played the end position last year, but was transferred to backfield because of the Jack of material in that spot.

The members are: first sopranos, Elaine Lebsock, and Mary Lu Lebsock; second sopranos, Lenore Beck and Martha Davis; first altos, Margaret Capron and Gladys Eisenach; second altos, Ruth Stratton and Lydia Reitz. Many girls try out that have good voices but just don't blend with the group. To obtain this blending of the voices M.iss Stowell had to change some girls to dif· ferent parts. Margaret Capron sang· second alto but was changed to first alto. The same way with Gladys Eisenach. Mary Lu Lehsock sang second alto, but · in· the process of finding someo!le to sing with Elaine Lebsock, Miss Stowell tried Mary Lu and it was a success. Three of the girls were in the group last year'. This group of eight performs at many affairs.

Student'sMural For Lecture Winifred Nelson's Drawing Interests Health Department Photostatic copies of a mural drawn by Winifred Nelson, junior, will be used for display purposes on health lecture tours throughout the state. This was arranged by Dr. P. H. Bartholomew, di· rector of the state board of health. The mural, completed last June for Miss Ethel Murray's hygiene classes, is done in harmonious col· ors, and illustrates many phases of life, namely, . heredity, evolution and reproduction. The work ranges from drawings of simple cell life to a study of the human foetus in its different stages of de· velopment. Used by Health Department. It was exhibited to health department heads, and state medical officers this summer, who were very complimentary in discussing the selection and assembly of the material, plus the artistic aptitude. • Wishing the story of the mural, Dr. R. H. Loder, of the maternal and C h i 1 d Health Bureau, has asked that an article be compiled by Winifred which will be used for publication in health magazines. "I must have used six bottles of India ink in sketching illustrations on that nine by four piece of unglazed ojl cloth," states Wini· fred, who hopes to spend her life in a laboratory, peering through that wonderful invention, the microscope-perhaps as a pathologist.

Good Penmanship Makes Teachers Thank Lucky Stars Do you want your teachers thanking their lucky stars~ Thanking their lucky stars that ~ach pupil is so very careful about his h andwriting 1 Then-hearken! Honestly, it is quite alarming to thumb through the program card files in the office and di/cover the various codes students use, in lieu of a legible script. Grade school teachers,-way back when,~ did their best to impress upon their pupils' minds the· nMessity of a good clear handwriting. Likewise, through junior high school, they were often reminded to improve the art 0£ the use of the pen and pencil. Yet here in high school every teacher has to scrutinize many a daily or test paper in order to make out the marks quite similar to Indian sign language. Many pupils have still not learned the lesson -of good penmanship. Some, in fact practically all persons, grow lax and careless in writing. This can be improved by simple self-determination. Continual practice helps too. So, here is to more beautiful school papers, and fewer pairs of glasses £or the persons who have to read them.

Jaunt of Young Fellows Results In Dire Crash Out of a sea of blackness that .enveloped the city, a 1923 Ford pulled up in front of · a. grinning house. A merry tune was played on the car horns and inside th• house a husky voice was heard t o say, "So long Mom, don't wait up for me." Then a rush-a door slamming-hearty greetings exchanged with the four other boy• - a motor starting- silence ! "Well, where shall we go tonight'?" invited the driver. "Not much doing in this town because of the dance over a.t Harlan," added one of. the boye. Har• lan was a . neighbOring town U. miles away. ''How about going there?" chimed in another, "just to SM what's going on." "No mon, no fun," said the husky voice, "we'd better stay in· town. Besides I'm to be home early. Gotta work tomorrow." "O come on, we'll get you .home early," added the driver," and we won't need any money-plenty of gas·." "Well, I shouldn't do this but if you guys all want to-well. 0. K.," replied the husky voice. "Hooray, we're off!" they shouted in a chorus and started on their way to the t une of happy singing voices. It was almost past midnight Thj!j when t hey started home. night was fun in th~ crowded dance floor. Lots of people are fun when you're young. At 10:00 the h usky voice tried to persuade the boys t o go home, but for them · the evening was young. Going home ther e was much Singing and gay talk, blit during the last few miles it quieted down. The boys were tired. It was pr ett y driving home and it r ested them to lay their heads back and look out t he window at th.e full moon. The. sharp curve ahead could not reveal the approaching car. Approaching too fast- full of boyB and girls-having fun-dr iving carelessly. A loud crash broke the stillness of the. night- then silence. Some• where a frog croaked, an owl hooted.

Analysis of News Is l\lain Concern With nearly two weeks gone since the Advocate began to sponsor a news broadcast, P aul Schupbach explains the policy used in editing the news. "Anything that is news and obviously is not propaganda for one side, party or another may be used. Of course discrimination is necessary at all time When editing news for nothing is morei· deadly than a series of articles or figures t hat really aod nothing to the story. Opinions or communiques may be used, but t hey a r e more times t han not lengt hy and dull, even though important. In o.t her words what is really needed to make a good broadcast Is NEWS!" With a choice of possibly twenty to thirty bulletins every morning, not necessarily on one topic or another, Paul feels that he is able to give the pupils a fair and accurate picture of events, foreign and national. However, he also says, "It is very improbable that a ny news pertaining to foreign events cannot contain propaganda." With this in mind, the pupils of Lincoln high should accept the morning news with a grain of salt . A complete analysis of any news, whether it appears in the newspapers or on your high school news broadcast, will not only prove that every question has two sictes. but will be of aid to you in making more nearly correct deci· sions.
Sound System Is Silent Check-Up Lincoln high school's ·new sound system has proved it self to be an asset worthy of many praises. In fact, some boys might say it would "fill the . bill completely if it could only cook." ~ut for those who are never in danger of being called angels, t he eystem has one drawback. Anyone at the controls may listen into a "~lassroom without being heard. Even the teacher is unawar e that the system is being put into use. Ther efore, t he only way t o play 1 safe Is to get the daily assignment and Mpe the teacher will stand the shock.
Say' ARE YOU HAVING ANY FUN? Well, if you are not, I know some people that are. I r efer fo none other than Chick Thorne, with his bevy of sweet things hanging around him all the time. The reason - could it be his muscle? Bobbette Wendelin is surely having fun, she is having the t ime of her life in that cute little car. Wonder who ow ns it? I alw ays thought red was a sign of danger or fire ; but those little rEd caps on the campus have certainly last year's r egular fellows into glamor boys. Guess i t is ;just the old story- "the moth and the flame."

president of the boys glee club, meeting first period, three days a week
in the auditorium,
took
charge of the nominations of the three other officers in the club last Wednesday. Robert South: worth, Darwin Blazek, and Eel Bronson were elected vice president, secretary-treasurer, and business manager respectively. The nomination did not close without an element of humor, for when Frank Anderson was nomin a ted for secretary-treasurer, he immediately said, "I reject the nomination ." Elmer, president, then s olemnly replied, "Rejection overruled." Results of the ele9tion for choir officers of September 20 are as follows : president, Elaine Lebsock; vice president, John "Duke" Eberh art; secretary-treasurer, J ack Eir ich, and librarian, Tom Moon.

'Wants and Tastes Measure Men' "Boys and men are measured by their wants and tastes," stated Ray Ric_e , former boys work secretary of the Y . M. C. A., new vocational director of the school of commerce, in his talk to the Hi-Y club Wednesday, Sept ember 18. Mr. Rice's theme was "Good Taste." "Taste can be cultivated either good or bad," said Mr. R ice. Culture of a boys home is what will mark him when he starts the worldly trudge alone, was his opinion. "Worldwide friendship has to be cultivated before anything can be done a bout the foreign conflict and to ins ure world peace," he asserted.

"T he Eng lish pilots ha v~ more t r aining than the Germans as they m ust have 50 hour s in the a ir be• fore they are allowed to fly in the. w a r ·as compared to 14 hour s which the Germans must have,'' said the newscaster. "The Ger• m ans have t o fly over 30 miles to Dover from occupied France while the British have to fly from 250 to 500 miles to reach German y." According to Mr. Letson's belief the British government wiil n ot leave London because their de· parture would weaken t he niora le of the E nglish people. A letter which he received from Scotland expressed t he hate that t h e English people hold for Hitler and t heir determination t o crush him. He does not think that Spain will try t o t ake Gibraltar because of the fortifications of the E nglish possession, also t he economic condition of Spain will not allow it. Spain has not completely recoV· ered· from her civil war. "When Germany s ends her planes over to bomb Britain, t he British reports of the da ma ge of the raid are more accurate than th~se "of the Germ ans," said Mr. Letson. Although there is a suf· ficien t amount of supplies in the empire, Britain is dependent upon Unit ed S tates fo r her wa r s upplies because each s ection of the empir e muet have a m ple supplies in case it is ever attacked by t h e Ger• m ans. The new scastei' said t hat if t he Italia ns are able t o ta<{e t he Suez Canal, they would cut off England's lifeline. "R a dio news is headline news." according to Mr. Let son. "One-halt. of tho newF! giyen on' the radio and in the newspaper is propagan da," he stated. The clu b w as told by the KFAB and KFOR newsma n t hat iri a p oll taken in May, 1940, 85 percent of the people received their new s thr ough the radic. while in a poll taken May, 1939, 75 percent of t he people read the events of the day in the newspapers. ~~

Sports Chatter The Lincoln Newspapers' elev· enth annual golf tournament held the latter part of August at Pioneers gorlf course, had many students eri.t ered from Lincoln h igh. Richard Ostermiller was runnerup in the championship flight, Reinholdt George was winner of the second flight while Lee Chapin was runnerup in the second flight. Jack Tilton was the winner of the fifth flight and Bob Lien was runnerup. - The winners and runnerups received medals. E ve ryone down at the oval is glad to see Hutton Wray again. " Hut," ·equipment manager, injured his back during the first week of school while doing some heavy l~fting. Although he walked a little stiffly, he returned Wednesday to take over his regular work. Gordon "Aiky" Hall, right tackle on .Beechner's pre-game first eleven, is one of the few veterans returning · from last year's squad. Lacking only a couple of quarters to letter last year, Hall should be one of the mainstays in th is year's line. Weighing about 180, "Alky" threw the shot for Toman'1 track team last spring and joined the National Guards to keep in training this summer. Northeast high will soon be orie of Lincoln high 's greatest r ivals. With t he new building under construction, the school should be ready for the students next year. Jackson, Havelock and Bethany combined will make up th e n ew sc hool which will m ake it one of the bigg:est in the state. This Will leave College 'Yiew, Cathedr a l and Teachers hig h as the only little schools in t lte city to battle for t he Greater Lincoln league championship. I Tackling dummies, a seven-man sledge and blocking · p(>sts have been p ut up on north field to keep the re serves squad from becoming bored with lack of work. Last year's ·reserves t ea m when wishing to use the equipment now available to them, had to wait until the first team was through. This caused Joe Toman's squad to lose m uch .valuable time in perfecting their blocking. The reason for the new equipment is the cutting of spri.ng practice in · Nebraska and the wishes of Coach Beechne.r to ha ve his squa d well drilled in fundamentals. Bonacum Institute grounds, just south of Lincoln high school, a r e beirig' cleared so that the six-man Cathedral high sch ool · football t eam will have a place to practice. W orkers h ave been clearing and leveling the field w hich is . on the south side .of the building~ All excess dirt, stones and sticks plus the pulled weeds will .be removed. T he team which last year lost on'ly one gam e will h a ve a regulation six-man football field, eighty yards long arid forty yards high. The Dr. P epper st ate softball cha mpions who went to Detroit to pl ay for the national championship last wee k, Were ma de up of 2 1 players and out of these 2 1, 19 w e nt to Li ncoln high. The most commonly known of these were Herma n Rohrig and Ha r ry Wil · Ii ams. T hey h ave played on the state champion team for 3 years now, '34, '37 a nd· 1940. Kenny Gerlach pitched the winning g ame at Om a ha a nd a llowed. only 1 run a nd 1 hit . The team was d efeated in Detroit by Texas 4-0 . Their m a na ge r, Ed Rohri g, a lso attended Lincoln high a nd was o n t he swimm ing team. After one of t he most successful sel!.sons in years, the curtain was r.ling down on the Ban John· s on baseball y ear of 1940, with F a irbury being crowned the n ational champions. The F a ir bury club won four straig ht out of a sch eduled four· out of seven series, on S.t . . Joseph 's home diam ond, to win t he ch am pionship. " Lefty" Gayland Glass and Clyde "Diz" Dean, former Lincoln . pitchers, both took their turns on the mound. Other: former L incoln high athletes who contribu ted their share to the championships were Glen Geor,ge, <...'l yde Au kerman and Bill Kinnamon . Ch arlie "Chick" Ewell, hulahipped seriior quarterback, has s m·prised even the coaching staff with his natural sh iftiness and driving power . " Chick," this year's "miq1cle man," played third string g uard for Toma.n's reserves last year. Bu t after putting on a little weight and gaining his stride, for Beechner a promisin g quar• t er back .
Beech's Skeleton Finally Revealed Coach Ralph Beechner, popular and successful coach, played football .for Lincoln high school during the seasons of '24, '25 and '26. He was an outstanding end and received many honorable mentions for selections on the all state teams. In those days of grow ing u p, Coach Beechner was almost as broad as h e Was long, as his pictures in the athletic office will testify. On Novembe.r 24, 1925, the train carr ying· t he Red and Black footba ll t eam rolled on t o St. Joseph, Missouri. The boys were ready to play their last game of an undefeated season. Through the rumble of voice talking over football plans, the coach, W: H . Browne, now University o:f N ebra ska football a nd basketball coach, was heard to say, "Boys, anything s hort of a decisive victory will lower our prestige in our own state. St. Joseph Central has already gone down into defea t a .couple of times and we are undefeated. This. is the last g am e on_ our schedule this season. I want everyone t o play the kind of game that they wfll be proud of the rest of t heir lives. "If you play a good game a nd are satisfied with the score we'll all be in the mood for a good dinner. So we'll have turkey. But if you play poorly · you'll be in a bad mood and we' ll have hamburgers. "Now Jet's go over that new play again. If it works out as we have planned it you use the play on the given situation as we have outlined it and if it works as we have planned, Ra lph, you'll be ~ut there at a spot all by yourself to receive this pass. AND DON'T YOU MISS. THAT PASS!" t he coach exclaimed in no uncertain terms. "Boy, if you do you can just trot right off the field into the locker room because there will be a substitllte already on t he way in to repoi·t for you." As . all good s tories go the game started and the s ituation developed as Coach Browne ha d outlined t o the players. Even the quar terback remembered to call the· play when the situation arrived. The boys' actions were perfect. Every pass decoy acted his part so r ealistically that even John Barrymore wm~ld have been envious. The · entire St. Joe team were bewildered, a nd lo and behold there stood Beech 30 yards down the field standing ou~ like a sore thumb. The passer drew back and heaved t he pigskin t hrough the air. I t w as a beautiful pass. The ball sailing true to its target, Beech 30 yards down t he field. A s the St. Joe players · and fans real· ized what h ad happened a nd that a possible touchdown was in the making t hey stood up and called warnings to their team to look out for that pass r eceiver. It was· too late, Coach Beechner w as stan ding with outstretched a r ms. You. can all imagine the nervous t en sion under w hlch h e was p laced. Thousands of · thoughts no doubt w en t flitting through his mind and the words of t he coach stood out il.bove a ll the other s in his mind. "Catch that pass or h ead for the locker room." The tension was too much for human nerves to stand. · That ball sailed r ight throug h Beechner's . arms thumping him soundly on · the chest and fell t o the ground. The ball had hardly touched t he g round before Coach Beechner realized he had muffed the play. And r emembering the words of the coach he t urned right around and w it h u ter disgust slammed his headgear t oward the bench an d headed for the locker room show ing more. speed than had been demonstrated by any player dur· ing the entire game.
Swinuniug Class Started hy Kuklin L incoln high boys enjoy for the first time in years a cla ss devoted entirely to t he finer points of swimming; Harry Kuklin tutors this class third period on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. As yet the class has .done very little work out side of t he racing start and mechanics· of strokes. Coach K uklin says, "The length of ti me t he class continues depends entirely upon the interest s hown this year." According to the boys' opinion s, the class . will be here quite some time because they are very enthus iastic as to the possibilities of the class.

B y ·being polite you m ust earn it. Remember your manners when taking a punt; Be courteous, men, and return it. Be careful, as well, of the health of y our foes , Whenever he is running around, and if he is clashing too far with the ball Induce h im to lie on th e ground. The way to induce him to lie on the ground Is to give him a loving embrace, And there after hoisting him high in the air Deposit him on his face. When running. t he end let no man interfere No matter how hard he.. may t ry J ust thrust out you r arm in a courteous way With the heel of your hand in his eye; A line man gets weary of s tandin g all day, · H e's likely to f ret a nd to frown Invite him w ith gest ures that speak tor themselv,es To be at his e a.Se and sit down.

"This training is entirely optiona l with the schools. The t ext books are obtained from · the United States government printing office.

books and inst ructions are given to college .students. " It is rather unbelievable to know that today objections to the study of aviation are few and far between, where only a very few years ago 90 out of 100 people would hav.e opposed su~h high school instruction.

Action on School Flag Felt to Be Imperative In many instances, in former yea.rs the student cpuncil h-a_s -been asked hy the st~de~t body and by t_lie Advocate to plan for a school flag, an ~mhlem tltat would represent the spirit of the ·Lincoln high school. Little ha:s come out of this as the flag problem is a knotty one and all action on it has somehow or other become sidetracked. However, it is hoped that this council will take the necessary. action to make the dream of a flag for Lincoln high, an actuality. The benefits of a school flag are manifold. It can be used on the stage of the auditorium during student programs. It can be carried by the band during their. maneuvers in the oval. Even better, from the flag will come the Great Seal of Lincoln high, which ean be Used Upon correspondence, and upon certain i;rhonl property. The AdYm::ate respectfully offel's at least part It plan for t.b.E- ~aideration of the .s tudent colii:ifiE -We $.uggest that all -p;:',r;;:ons in the school. interested in designing a sehool flag ·.should submit the.ir designs at a given time; say to a committee of art teachers (or others that the enuncil fe~ls could judge such a contest}. 'the person whose flag is rated t,he best should design a flag for the school, the other hand, a g"roup of persons whose . designs &re· chosen. as best could be given. the power, by the student .c<>uncil, of a committee tQ design th:e. flag: This was the gene~al plan, for the drawing of the lunch-room murals. Lincoln now has her murals, lf .a plan such as this established for the designing of a flag, Lincoln will yet hav,; her school flag.

In a driving rain that reduced the playing f}eld to a virtual quagmire and made the grandstand a sea of umbrellas, the annual pigskin fray between the Snudgers and the · Snitchers fumished an estimated crowd of 25 thousand (what f) with all the· thrills of a mud rassle. Play by play description. There was a momentary pause before the flip due to the :fact that there was lack of a coin to flip. A kindly member of the crowd finally came through, the Snudgers winiiing the toss. The Snudgers chose to kick off, doing so how-e,rer from the 30 yard line instead of 40 because of a ten yard penalty assessed when Frank ''Killer'' Kane, one of the deadliest tackles in the conference, tried to sell the referee his own whistle. Greasy Green kieked off, a long spiraling pass, to Toman, who made 14 yards before he was hit and ]iit hard by Hi Hackman. Toman fumbled, Rowdy Rudy Wallace covering it. Sundgers ball first and ten. Mortimor Morrison hit left guard !or two. Mortimor Morrison hit what was left of the guard for two more. Snooky McMullen passed, forcing Mueller to bid in hearts, but it was incomplete. Mueller kicked and got off a beauty to. E. B. Phillips who hula hipped his way for a 35 yard gain. The gain was nullified however · and the ball set back to the Snitcher 45 because of a 15 yard penalty, E: · It Phillips got caught slugging. It was decided there would be no halves, no quarters as the boys were all very rugged and didn't need the rest. On the next play Kuddles Kuklin, on a reverse, made 7 yards, being hit by Butch Bobbitt. Toman passed, to Buck Roger, who made a leaping catch, for a 6 yard gain, first and ten. Slugger Phillips hit center, but was stopped on a tec~ nica.lity. Time was called. H. C. Mardis, water boy, trotted nonchalantly out on the fo~ld to give the boys their refreshments.

Certain Changes Will Enhance Beauty of L. H. S. It seems as though t)le middle west, par~ tieularly Lincoln, Nebraska, is not famous for beautiful campuse:,;. Naturally, the drouth can be COl.l,nttld as a chief cause for this lack of beauty. The co-operation of the pupils is absolutely necessa1j in keeping lawns neat. Certainly candy wr~p~, torn up test papers, and most of all, cigarette .stubs, do not add· to the attractivern:~ss of a high school's surrounding-s. Bnt material changes and additions are neees:sary to lll.ake Lincoln high school 's campus completely beautiful. These · suggestions have been gathered from various student cominents and are directed to those parties whose influence can make improvements. J?irst o.f all, the parking might be graveled or covered with stones~ since it is almost impossible to keep persons from walking across this section of Jarid. Second; new sod for all the lawns both outh, north, east, and west of the sehool. Of course, a beautiful sod field for the oval would be doubly desirable, but upkeep and expense are factors not ti;! be disregarded in this ventur~. Third, a coat of paint or some new covering for the oval walls, which are far from h·a ndsome. ·· These three ideas fire enough for a be·
ginning.

What Book , Worms Consume Are you in need of a good book and rather "up a tree" as to what book to choose? Here are some of those. being read by various pupllR i1u t he school: "The Phantom King" by Hildegarde Hawthorne. "An unusual, interesting book, written in a concise manner. .An excellent filler of inside data on the Napoleonic era."-Kenneth Greenwood. "Rebecca," by Daphne Du Mau· rier. "It has very vi'vid descrip·tioris of the country and charactiers".-Charlotte Hill. "My Son, My Son," by Howard Spring. "A very human story of how parents CH.Jl give up too much for their children. It has a gratifying ending."-leanne Hofacre. "The Citadel," by Lloyd C. Pouglass. ''An exciting book, telling of the struggles of a young docto_r of English.· character who is rather old fashioned in his medical beliefs, and his,. determination always to do the right thing,"Janice Black. "And Ten of Time," l:)y Laura Krey. "An exciting book contain~g everything from adventure to romance."-Nona Miller. "Green Light," by Lloyd C. D,ouglass. "A wonderful story of a doctor who takes the blame for the death of a .patient from a su·p erior doctOr whom he had admired during his in.ternship. He went into seclusion but eventually returned to the profession he ·had pictured himself in since childhood." -Betty Bintz.

Two mice which Miss Helene Schemel's second .a nd fourth period as.sistants, Patricia Blood and Dorothy Carlson, have been playing house mother to, died · last Wednesday morning. These mice were found by Donald Lodge twelve days ago in some orange wrappers in the store where Donald works. They lived for four and one half days. The "petite.s animaux" were fed with an eye dropper. Their diet wa.s milk. The girls were raising them for a physiology experiment. They were to feed one on an alcohol diet and the other on a regular mouse diet, to see the difference between them in size, shape, fur and activity. "C 'Est Mal"

The boys have converted the attic of Furr's garage into a museum which houses their mounts Besides an exhibition room, the boys have a work room where they clean and assemble the bones. In the museum at present they hav;i mounted horse, coyote, beever. sheep, a pelican which they received from California, and many smaller animals. Each year at the Lincoln hobby show the boys have an exhibit. Their main exhibit last year was a horse which · they called Napo· Jeon Bone-apart because the bones were from seven different horses. They hope to have a cow mounted for the next hobby show. The boys have spent their last two summer vacations out in western Nebraska with a group of students and instructors from the university digging for prehistoric animal bones. All three boys plan and hope to be geologists in later years.
Radio Hopef11ls L.H.S. Pupil Aerial To Learn Code Expert Machine-Gunner C. 0. Morrison to Teach International Radio Code To After School Class
Dots and dashes heard in room 127 Thursday, September 26, after school were from a radio telegraph key giving. the letters a, f, h, j, r, t , u, and y to a group of hopeful radio operators of the future. The class is under the direction of C. 0 . Morrison from 145. Their aim is to lea rn the Morse International code and the typewriter keyboard at the same time. The first meeting of the class was in room 113 Tuesday September 24, after school. From now on they will meet on Tuesdays and Fridays after school in room 127. The classes will continue until the k eyboard has been learned. At each meeting two keys are learned on the typewriter and .in the code. If pupils have had either typing or the code they are that much ahead, but a person is able to learn ·both at the same time. Mr. Morrison said that the importance of learning touch typewriting with the code was impressed upon him during his active service with the Naval Reserves this summer. A received message must be typed as received, five copies made, and routed immediately to the officers concerned. In a time of national emergency, r a dio operators who are able to act as experienced army and navy will be Taking lessons in portrait communication's men photography from William Mor- needed more rapidly than will be possible to trail;l them.

From H amilton field, California, thirty miles north .of San Francisco, Don Campbell, senior, flew in one of the army's largest bombers to Nicholas field, Hawaii. Don j oined the army air corps, September 25, 1940. Flying to Hawaii in what Don calls "a flying fortress" was of course one of the major events in his brief, but eventful, army enlistment. The plane was of a Bl 7B type and at present is the largest in service in the army, having a cruising range of approximately 3,000 miles, and a capacity load of bombs totaling somewhere near eight or nine thousand pounds. The crew consists of eight men, all of whom have been especially trained to fill some important post on the ship. With its total load of men and bombs, the "flying fortress " is able to attain a top speed of 275 miles per hour. However its cruising speed is more near 225 miles per hour .... In other words the bomber is built to travel very nearly 3,000 miles at three and three fifths miles per minute, and if necessary it can push its speed up to four and seventh twelths miles 'per minute. Don was a qualified expert aerial machine gunner and received an honorable· discharge in order tha t he might return to Lincoln and finish his schooling here. He does not plan to return to the army upcin his graduation from Lincoln high this spring, but wil[ go directly to Wisconsin to work in an office.
Girl Reserves At Joint Supper Girl Reserves cabinets of the six high s chools in Lincoln met at the Y. W. C. A. for a supper Thursday. Each school had one dish to make and certain duties to perform. Lincoln high girls made the salad, set the tables and made name cards for the girls as they came in. These cards were in the shape of the Girl Reserve symbol and contained the name of the girl, her office and school. After supper the girls retired to the deck room in the basement where they played games. This was followed by violin solos by Ted Swartz, J ackson, and a talk by Miss Mollie Heath Conn, state Girl Reserves secretary, who spoke on "Girl Reserves in the World of Tomorrow." The meeting was closed with the singing of "Follow the Gleam:"

Girls Octet Elect Officers for Semester
"Hats off, the band is passing by." Friday when the band, decked out in brilliant new uniforms, passed blaring in front of the stands, the crowd felt it almost necessary to take off their hats lest they were swept from their heads by the gusty wind from the shin ing instruments or by the beaming rays from the brilliant uniforms. The formations were almost a.s thrilling as the game itself. The drum major fed his troops, as one might calf them, as any good major should. With the major and majorettes leading and the rest of the band making the formations, there was no doubt that the spectators had all they could watch,
In The Classes It seems that the "old" saying that three's a crowd is very, very wrong, as a music appreciation class, fourth period, Mondays. Wednesday, and Friday found only three members answering to the call of the bell, two boys and a girl. Meeting thus cosily three times, amusing themselves with the piano and phonograph in 326, the class hopefully awaited recruits. Finding none forthcoming, Miss Helen Stowell was forced to disband the class, much to the displeasure of all, who thought three hours credit just for musically amusing themselves was very fine. Dale Wisner was elected president of Miss Helen · Stowell's third period chorus class, Monday, September 16. Other officers are, vice president, Fred Miller ; secretary, Dorothy Baxter; librarian; Richard Finney, and editor, Her.man Schmidt. Booth Tarkington's famous play, , " Beauty and ~Jacoben," was aired by the members of Miss Eliza beth Barker's English 20, dramatics class, in two productions Thursday and Friday. Each member of the class chose some character whom he wished to portray; then in the middle ·of each production the actors changed so that every person had taken some part. These productions were put on for the benefit of the members of the class only, but Miss Barker stated that they hoped to put some plays on for assemblies. The class, so far, has spent most of its efforts on characterization and what is known as "blocking" or choosing the dramatic moments in a play. Before the semester is finished, however, they will read plays, study some of the Broadway productions, acting, producing, directing and ma ke-up.
Hi-Y Hears Wendell Groth Splendid Record of Oz Black Given Praise By Lincoln Business Man ' 'Perhaps the most interesting t hing about Mr. Oz Black is that when he has an idea which would be worthwhile or helpful to others he follows it through," stated Wendell Groth in a brief talk on Oz Black to whom the Hi- Y meeting was devoted Wednesday, Sep• tember 23. "Mr. Black; while attending high school and college, decided to be a preacher, but he soon set out to accomplish the same ends by a little different method. Not by being a clergyman, but by becoming a ·businessman, and spreading his goodwill through friends and his everyday contacts." "Now an adviser, Mr. Black started with the Hi-Y back in 1927. He has become closer to the club and its members than any other man since," asserted Mr. Groth. Supper and community singing under the direction of Artemus Brown and Gilbert Ryder, preceded the speech. Social chairman, Jack Tilton, announced that the first party would be a barn dance, which will take place in several weeks. Dale Babcock gave devo• tions. Members of the alumni chapter present were John Provost and Dee D ePutron.
Miss Rokahr Relates Mexican Adventures That Mexico is a land of con- · trasts, not only in people, but also in scenery and in climate, was stated by Miss Elsie Rokahr, speaker at a meeting of the travel club Monday of last week. During her yisit at Guadalajara, Mexico, she and a group of six· teen students made an excursion to a typical Mexican ranch. Amid the pealing o·f church bells and music rfom an orchestra, they were greeted by the ranch-owne:.and a band of peons on horseback. "Mexican women," she said, "are exceedingly dextrous in balancing large jars of water and heavy baskets on their heads. In fact they Cl}rry almost everything on their heads." The last three weeks of ller va cation she and Miss Josephine Wible spent moto.r ing to p'laces of interest in JM:exico.

WhoKnows! Nebraska May Lead in Cotton Flash! Miss Helene Scheme!, physiologl teacher, discovers new crop for Nebr.aska farmer. This summer she raised five cotton plants that grew to be more than 2Y2 fee.t tall. "It all started because of my niece and nephew in Fairbury who are interested in cotton and wanted to know inore about it." "One of my pupils brought in a cotto'n plant that came from Arkansas," .Miss Scheme! said; She plucked several of the seeds and planted them iri a flower pot. Five of them came up. These she transplanted to the out-of·doors where they thrived until the grasshopper season. The grasshoppers ate two plants before Miss Scheme! noticed them, but she soon made short work of the two and one-half inch pests. . "The cotton had- a flower like a pink hollyhock," declared Miss Scheme!, "and one plant has 12 cotton balls." If one day you see Miss Scheme! walking down the hall in a ·new cotton blouse, you'll know the answer, that cotton blouse is a product of her cotton plant.

Here is a bit Of evidence, One day, a pupil,. out of hjs usual eeat, announced to the teacher, "I have decided to change my 11eat.'' The teacher replied, "We don't do things that way in here:' "I don't see why not," said the young American, "Isn't this a democracy?" "Yes;" answered the teacher, "and since a democracy is based on the. group, perhaps the group ahould settle your case... Whereupon the boy was asked to state· the reason for his arbitrary action which he explained was simply "to change his environment.'' And when the group overwhelmingly voted that "John" 111hould conform to the standard of his .society, he graciously moved to his original seat.

THE ADVOCATE
Caesar's War Implements Interest the Curious A model of a war implement used in Caesar's time is being exhibited in Miss Doris Steeves' room. The machine was used to throw large boulders at the enemy. Cannons of today are used for about the same purpose. The machine was made by Don . Patterson and Albert Johnston. A small doll garbed in Roman ciothes will attract the girls. She is about four inches high and is wearing a white robe and veil. Parvae Solae, or the small shoes, were made from leather by Winifred Nelson. The slate and writing implenments were used by the school children of long ago. The slate is covered with soft wax. The pencil, which is a pointed stick, makes a mark on the wax when it is pressed upon. fn this wa)' the Romans were able to write.

the initiation of the new mempers of the Mimes who took part in unrehearsed, presentations of various childhood stories and nursery rhymes which included the reciting of "Mary had a little lamb" with various emotions at the first regular meeting Thursday. Dean Forke, acting chairman, introduced Alice Wenzlaff, a past president, who spoke briefly on th•) club's standards and the duties of members. Miss Ethel Bryant and Mrs. Erma Coombs, sponsors, were also introduced and Bixteen members were nominated for offices. These will be voted upon at the next meeting, October 17. Tho11e nominated were: Alene Babich, Barbara Emerson, Dean Forke, Jeannette Fristoe, Joan Gellatly, Tom Griffin, Shirley Hinds, Richard Lahr, Robert Les. cher, Dorothy Meuhlhausen, Ben McKennan, Betty Jo Packard, Doro.thy Reilly, Joan Steinbrecker, Charles Taylor and Betty Williams.
Heart specialist, Dr. Arthur L. Smith, intrigued students of the ~ird period physiology classes with his lecture on "Heart Beat" last Wednesday, October 2. Doctor Smith used X-ray photographs . lighted from behind. The sound system then amplified real heart beats", both of Robert Glenn, and from records of diseased hearts in every stage. The effect of tobacco, coffee and cola (also containing caffeine) was emphasized in truth when the stimulated heart beats raced so fast it seemed that organ must burst. · "Too violent exercise, especially the mile and two mile foot race, should never be run by high_ school students," he declared. Basketball is dangerous for players with weak hearts was another point Doctor Smith emphasized.

With a discussion of swinging the classics, the second semester meeting for th~ second semester of the Round Ta.b le went int o "full sw ing." The discussion which grew rather hea ted as various members stated \ehir opinions, was Jed by the vice-president, Howard Stacy. In connection with this was a discussion of t~ contemplated m usical organization for swing music. The meetin g was closed with conversation on the topic "Should the America' s become more depende.n t upon ea ch other in the present crisis."
HOTEL DHAMBURGER
Miss Bess Steele, instructor of arts and crafts at the agriculture college, spoke at the art club meeting, Thursday. She brought many examples of peuter, German silver, aluminum and brass novelties she has col• lected from the Minneapolis trade school and Provincetown, Cape Cod.
"Peuter is easy to work with," she sa.id, "and sodering the pieces together is very easy after you know how." Miss Steele showed several examples of etchings done on peuter plates. This is done by applying a resistant to th;: plate in the desired design and then putting on an acid which eats away the metal except where the resistant is. When the desired depth is reached by the acid it is removed, leaving a very pleasing effect. Built up designs are also sodered on the peuter plates, vases and paper knives, making them very attractive. Among her exhibits was a necklace of gold and silver, set with opal matrix. The links were all hand made. There also was a sir.all wood box trimmed in brass which she bought in P a ris several years ago. It was a shining example of the tedious hours the Europeans spend on their work. However, she does not recommend metal crafts a.<1 an occupation but it makes a very pleasant and worthwhile avocation or hobby.

English Classes Learn hv., Radio How the radio system can be used to assist different English classes was discussed at the first meeting of the English depart· ment. H. C. Mardis told of the possible use of records and of the broadcasting material sent to him. He discussed "American S.c hools of the Air," a manual on broadcasting in American schools. "Education," a magazine on radio broadcasting was covered by Miss Sarah T. Muir in the 'discussion. Miss Emma Snyder who was present has taken steps in keeping of the radio log which as yet is not complete, but with co-operation of · various radio stations will soon be. Gerald Kvasnicka, whose English class listens to the news broadcast each day at twelve o'clock, said, "I think the pupils not only get a great deal from the news itself but it also creates enough interest so that the pupils try to find out more about it outside of school."

New Members Perform With Original and Amazing Results Initiation of new members was held at the writers club meeting of October 2. The new scribes were allowed 20 minutes to accomplish one of three feats, to write an original piece of copy, to give an impersonation of some famous person of literature, or to tell about some book they read and what they thought of it. While the new members we".'e preparing their part of the. program, some of the old membe_rs entertained. Janice Marx played a solo on the piano, Phillis Overman gave a scene which she im· agined might have taken place in the play "Pygmalion" and Hereschel Webb read some lines from "Hamlet." A book review of "Miss Bishop" was given by Virginia Lee White, new member. Erm a Tyrell read an original poem. "Breakdown" was the title of the poem writte!l by Marjorie Egger; Robert .J onett gave a review of the book, "Enter Smith."

Two Pupils Enter Eastern School It seems ·the Lincoln high's loss is Mount Hermon's gain, when it comes to the loss of Jack Zurn• winkle and Ramey Beachly. Zum• winkle entered the Massachusetts school early this fall, but Ramey Beachley didn't leave until Sep• t ember 30. Up until that time, he attended Lincoln high. Beachly had registered too late to be admitted this semester, due to the limited number of boys in the school, which is 550. ·He had given up all hope. of going when he received an air mail letter from the school. The school is located in the north-centval part of Massachu-. setts, about· 50 miles from Spring• field anct about five miles from Noh hfleld. . Northfield is a school for girls in which Betty Zumwinkel, Jack's' sister, is again taking up ·. her studies for the third year. Jack and Ramey are both jun· iors.

Tail lights, headlamp.>, is:isur· ance, licenses, and other paraphernalia, are the requirements for all dogs entering our high school. This concoction was set up by the. head custodian, Edwin Geistlinger, who says, "If a pupil is going to be bitten, the dog must at least receive credit." "The insurance protects the dog from the ill effects of chewing into you, and it also pays his dependents in case he ·dies." The headlamps and tail lights are just to let the , pupil know that he wants by, thus saving him all the trouble of barking and causing an uproar.

:erof. Clarence J. Frankforter of the University of Nel:)raska, spoke Friday at the first meeting of the chemistry club. His topic was "Chemistry arid It's Relation to National Defense." He stressed the fact that industry must be capable of meeting the demand for everything <luring the time of war. "We are in a pitiful state of affairs if attacked," stated the professor, and added, "Industry must not fail us 'now." a:e · reported that chemistry a.ids industry by making a product al.ready on the market more cheaply, or discover s some new product to serve as a substitute. "The best defense is a viborous offense," he added, and con.eluded that chemistry is one of the most important cogs in our defense system. After the meeting, elections were held, with Gordon Johnson winning the presidency and Nancy Green the vice-prei;ictency. The chemistry club will be sponsored again this year by Miss Mariel Gere and Miss Mamie Short. As before, the club will meet on the first 11..n d third Fri.days of the month. A pupU need·not be a member of a chemistry class to join the club.

the day, when se"ireral thousand packed the Harvard stadium to hear the winning band and drum corps," Bernard Nevin, director of the prize winning American Legion convention band, admiringly stated on his return from the East coast. Although only a half-dozen or so bands competed, it was a very close contest. "Our toughest competitor was Columbus, Ohio, which had a wonderful band and was in the race all . the way. These bands are Symphonic bands, not marching bands as some have thought," he explained. He considered the band this year stronger than last year, even if it didn't rate so high in percentage points. The rating depends on the conductor, the way the mu$ic is played, the tone quality of the music, its timing in intonation. "It is the highe$t award a conductor of this typ~ can have, and I consider it an honor and privilege to conduct such a marvelous band as the Monahan Post Band of Sioux City, Iowa," he concluded.

Girls Sports While the speedball players nurse their bumps and bruises, all golfers should be preparing for the girls fall golf tournament which will probably be held on October 15, at the Park Valley golf links. Two of the ranking players last spring, Jean Hazen and Merriam Mann, are attending the university, Edith Miller and Marian MacDonald have moved out of town, leaving only Bette Nye, Jo Anne Kinsey and Jean Whedon as the veterans. With both Bette anci .Jean, seniors, there is a good chance for golf enthusiasts to get in the running for a golf letter. Placing as one of the four lowest in each tournament entitles the player to an emblem the first year and a letter the second year. Two tournaments are held each year, one In the fall and one in the spring. Any girl is eligible if she is making a grade in fifth period class. Anyone interested should see Miss Lillian Story. .Assisting in the girls gymnasium classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from ten until two, is Miss Doris Patterson from the university. Bette Nye and Marian Wallesky battled it out in the finals of the girls singles tennis tournament, while Bob Buxton and Jane Lawrence faced .Jack Cady. and Betty Coulter in the mixed doubles. Meanwhile swimmers should be preparing for the girl interclass meet to be held in the near future. Because of the freshly plowed ground on the field east of the building, the girls were obliged to have their first speedball practice on a new locality, south of the building. Kicking and passing were practiced and Miss Lillian Story held the girls' interests by inventing a game of her own. About 26 girls ri.sked the dirt and bruises to come out. Three teams will be organized in the near future; one for the sophomores; one for the juniors; and one for seniors. After team practice a tournament wiH begin to decide the winners.

Beatrice Schools Close; All Games Canceled Joe Toman's reserve squad lost one of its scheduled games last week when the Beatrice schools closed and canceled all their games due to infantile paralysis. Two students have the disease and one was a football player. Toman will try to fill the date with some other team. Six cases had been reported over the week-end. An iron lung was purchased by the Beatrice Elks club to relieve the paralysis victims.
62 Boys Report For Northfield Sixty-two boys now make up the north field football team which is scheduled to play .Jackson high reserves, Bethany reserves and Havelock reserves in the near future. North field football, a game primarily for inexperienced. players, under the coaching of Harry Kuklin, offers promising advantages for advancement in the reserve or first team football.

Squad Preparing For Fall Track "Lincoln high's track team will have to work harder this year to keep up the unmarred record they made last spring," stated Joe Toman recently. The squad will sorely miss Howard Debus, class of '40, and his cronies who helped set up this record. Only four lettermen will be returning this year, they will be: Bill Frantz, Al Abbott, Elwood Barnes and Fred' Birkman. Equipment has been checked out to more than twenty boys and regular workouts have . been going on for over two weeks. The hare and hound races that were so popular during fall track last year will be held once or twice a week this fall; the main feature of the races is that they build up the boys' endurance· and leg muscles. All boys worked out the first two or three weeks in Antelope park. Hurdle men will begin working on form and speed in the oval in a week or ten days. All of the following boys were out for track last year and will be heavily depended upon when the meets roll around next spring: sprints, Step Jones a n d Bill Frantz; hurdles, Frank Shulte and Earl Slason; distance, Elwood Barnes, Fred Birkman, Gaylord Edling, Harold Harvey and .Jack Ne~lsick; field events, Fr an k Shulte and Neil McPherson.
Bands to Collaborate In New Formations Formations by the bartd will be entirely new and different for the Scottsbluff game. Bernard Nevin, band directer, met with the SBOttsbluff director this summer, and planned formations for two bands. The directors , in turn, will lead the combined bands. FOR REAL

This corner is well pleased with the news that Floyd Wilkinson will be able to get around freely again after the successful opera• tion on his knee last week. Floyd hurt his knee in the state basketball tournament and has· had his leg in a · brace since. Geor ge Brown starting Sioux City East end died in Sioux City shortly after Friday nights game putting a tragic twist to the loss for the Iowa boys. Don't look surprised or amazed at the football game, if a scream of "Hammurapi, Hammurapi" comes from the direction of the Peppers section. It will be intended for Eddie "Snooks" Hall from his Pepper classmates in 201. Although Snooks will face the biggest football players on any team, he simply can't tackle a poor ancient Babylonian king named Hammurapi. To solve this problem of Ed's Mrs. Hyatt warned him that every time he fumbled or made an error on the football field, P,is fellow classmates would haunt him · by yelling "Hammurapi." It must be hereditary the way Harold Hawkins collects yarQ.age, According to last week's Advocate, Minneapolis is in South Dakota, not Minnesota as had been thought. The mistake is not all on the staff, but we should and will make the necessary correction. .The sentence should have read, "The Raiders have already defeated Marshall high of Minnea· polis, Minnesota, 14 to 0 and Vermillion, South Dakota, 40 to 0.

Radio Transmitter Used for Games A new system for transmitting the scores, timing, yardage and downs is being used at all football games. Previous to this time a telephone system was used by the boys in the electricity classes to send the information to the scoreboard However this proved unsatisfactory as a light telephone system was easily destroyed. The new method consists of a 2 ~ meter radio transmitter and receiver. The .system is purely experimental and is being operated under an amateur license. I.t is not a broadcasting system and is used only to send information to the scoreboard. As C. O. Morrison stated, it might fail during a game and, as an alternate method, the ~forse code is being used by a blinker system, such as the navy uses. In this case, numbers are used for downs and letters for yardage. The present method is much more rapid than the telephone system. /
I Come From Other Side of Tracks But I Sure Am Proud of the U. S.
(
Now, I ain't very good at this correct grammar stuff so you'll just have to excuse it this time. Cause you see there's been somethin' on my mind ever since everybody over in Europe started · atickin' knives in each other's backs. I'm wonderin' how many kids on.this side of the water really get it through their heads how lucky they are. Take me for example. I come from what some people call the wrong side of the tracks. Some of 'em say I belong to the "gas house gang." But does Uncle Sam care? I guess not! Instead of makin' me stay on a: low level · he's given• me every chance in the world to get some place. I can go to a free school where I can get an e.d ucation just as good as the next fella's. When I get out of school if I can't find a job no place, Uncle Sam's right there to help me get on my feet again. And what strikes me as bein' tops right now is this idea of bein' able to put the man you want at: the head Of the government. And· what's more you can say what you
want about him. You can wear your opinion on your shirt front in the form of a political button and nobody's goin' to tell you to take it off "or else.'' Right now, some people are wearin' buttons where one of 'em says "Roosevelt for expresident," and the other button says, "And we don't want Eleanor, either." Do you think you could say that ab<iut a dictator's wife ? Well, I wouldn't try it if I were over there, 'cause they say the food in them concentration camps ain't so hot. Then, too, if somebody has a mistaken idea that he doesn't like our government, he· can find himself a soapbox .or tree stump and tell people what he thinks of it. And nobody does a thing about it, except feel sorry for the poor, misled idiot. That's the kind of government we inherited from the people who fought to make it that way. That's the kind of government we all want and intend to keep it that way. Yep, you're right. I likes it here.

Through the new sound system, a recording of "Abe Lincoln in Illinois,'' starring Raymond Massey as Abe ,Lincoln, was presented in Miss Elizabeth Grone's English 19 class fourth period last Monday. To discuss and compare more thoroughly the two plays, "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" and Drinkwater's "Life of Abe Lincoln" was made possible by the recording.

eEvaluation Is Necessary' Sarah T. Muir Tells Of School's Place In Nation's Progress Evaluation of materials and methods of teaching · English in view of the present conditions· was the keynote of a meeting of English teachers called Monday by Miss Sarah T. Muir, head of the English depart ment. Each member of the department expressed himself on some phase of the coursJ showing that teach. ers definitely evaluate their work. An example was given by Miss Nelie A. Putney who said that in one of her English literature classes while reading "The Boy's Life of Edison" by Meadowcraft, the question ca:me up, "Is · the flash light electricity?" Following the discussion the whole class spent a period in the electricity shop where C. O. Morrison explained the matter and later a boy .from his class showed a film of the life Edison while a member of the class read the script. They later saw Miss Edna Bryan, the physics teacher. That pupils are setting their teeth into more difficult play4- was set forth by Miss Elizabeth Barker, when she said, "In my drama class the pupils 'set a standard of their own. Many pupils elected to give portions of 'Hamlet' 'Macbeth,' and other Shakespearian plays when they might have chosen· something lighter."
Constitutio11 Of School To Change Council Votes On Revision Student council in its regular meeting last Wednesday · voted unanimously to remove all obso· lete material contained ln tle school constitution and. also to change and insert needed sections.

WEDNESDAY, .OCTOBER 16, 1940
During the last few years numerous quite respectable organizations have been duped int<> becoming "fronts'' for persons who were mainly interested in rebelling against the AmeriCan government and destroying the American way of life. In the roll call of such Organizations stand the names of leagues to :fight Fascism, Nazism, Communism and othel' isms, youth movements, cµltural societies; organizations to help belligerents, and others too numerous to mention. It has been thought by many that the. eix}>oses of certain groups following the Russian. German pact ·and the work of the Dies committee would disillusion those who felt that they could get control of organizations in or~ der to contaminate them with undemocratic ideologies, but it is highly ·possible that the America~/ people, desiring to help their conn· try in preparedness plans, etc. will fall and fall hard for organizations with patriotic names, hut with unpatrfotic motives. . We can do numerous 'things about joining organiz<:1,tions so t hat w e in no way might injure our country, and also so that we might save ourselves the embarrassment that comes to those who have found their favorite organiiatiOn charged with unwittingly being made 3 dupe for persons who wish to overthrow the government. }following are a few things w~ may do. · 1) W.e may always inspect and investigate organizations of which we wish to become a member. Not only should the people who are already members be wat.c hed to a reasonable extent to see of what type they are (for as we all well know, ' ' birds of. a feather flock together' ;) but the ideals and beliefs of the organization should be studied as ·much as possible. 2) . .AU organizations, of course, that teach their members racial or religious hatred of one elass or one country for another should be com· pletely avoided. Of course few organizations are coming out to say that they are against all members of a . certain tace, creed, or class. Rather, they will say something to the effect that "We are not against individual members of this race (or creed) but instead we are against them when they band together,'' or" A certain race is inferior to ours, consequently it is a kindness to them :for us to boss them around.'' This type of propaganda sounds silly · here, but manY have considered it perfectly correct. 3) .All organizations which are named after a foreign nation or have the name of· a country other than ·the · Uriited States in their titles should be watched.e~ceptionally well fo1· obvi9us reaso.ns.

A selected group presented a pantomime called "The Duchess Bounces In." The players of this fast moving comedy were John Blankenship, John Wenstrand, Marian Coombs, Dorothy James, Robert Brown and Barbara Schlater. JanicP Marx played the piano and John Eberhart was the announcer and orator, as well as chairman. Albert Johnson and Harry Mease were property men. Jim McEachen was utility man, .and Gloria Mardis, property manager.
With. the final, "name please," "card please," and. "hurry along,'' uttered by assistants and . nurses, the medical examinations came to a close last week for another year. The project was under the supervision of Mrs. Mary C. Mapes, nurse; with Miss Jessie B. Jury and Mrs, Grace Hyatt having charge first and second periods, respectively. The .following students helped with the examinations : First period-June Ankeny, Patricia Atkinson, Barbara Bogue, June Carlson, Janice Dudley, Gay" lord Edling, .Gladys Eitel, Elizabeth Foster, Bonnie Francisco, Betty Fulton, Virginia Haynes, Bob Jerner, Jack Kiewit, Betty Knaup, Ruth Lewis, Katherine Melton, Betty Lou Shaw and Janet Wetzel.

Camera Fans See Portraits Exhibited at the New York world's fair this summer' was a photograph 'taken by Lois B_ates, graduate of '36, who chose the photographic beauty of the Nebraska state capitol as her subject. MiS8 Bates engages in that !feld as a profe.ssion and has a position in Loveland, Colorado. , Miss Elizabeth Grone told of her summer vacation in California, .working under William Mortonsen, ace portrait photographer, at the Camera club meeting, Friday, October 11. Expecting a most complicated set of rules to follow, she· was surprised, in fact a little disappointed, for it seemed too easy, when he gave them only one simple rule. This was: the greatest clash between light and dark must be the center of interest, Jl.S the eyes in a portrait. A good portrait also needs a simple background and simple clothing, preferably, without any type of ·pattern. "When taking a photograph of a garden or something which is very colorful, don't be fooled by the· color. Think in terms .of dark and light and you won't be disappointed in the results," she said. In refinishing or retouching a picture it is best to use a razor blade for taking off the black blemishes caused by wrinkles in the face or holes in the negative. Hold it vertically using very short, light strokes and scratch the !lpots off. This takes quite a little skUI to get a perfect job for if a retoucher goes too deep its just as bad as the blemi!!h itself. To touch up places that should be darker, India in'k ia used'.

Hi-Y Speaker Tells of India 'Our Indian Cousins' Given By Mrs. Rice "Our Indian Cousins" was the subject of a talk given by Mrs. Ray Rice l!1st Wednesday in a meeting of the Hi-Y. By Indians Mrs. Rice meant the inhabitants of India and not the North American Indians. She has . spent a great deal of her life in India and her talk on the customs and characters of the natives was ·of great interest. "Indians are very religious and take to God more naturally than any of us," was her opening statement. She went on to. say that the Indians attach much more religioua significance to their every act and do nothing without asking the good will of Raum, the Indian name for God. Another trait of theirs which she emphasized was that of their generosity in sharing all their posRessions with everyone. Plans were announced by Joh~ Slothower for a big barn dance to · be held October 23. The plan is for an operi party.
Ancient Roman Politicos 'Behind The Black Ball'
Helen Gruesel, senior at Lincoln high school, did fast acrobatics for the members of the Lincoln camera club, who were trying a rate never before attempted, on a new type of strosbacopis lighting equipment brought to the meeting by Charles Downey, Scottsbluff. "It was easy, a lot of fun and 1 enjoyed it," said Helen. The light flashed at a speed of one 30,000 of a second. The members were down on their knees, standing on tip toes, and other various positions trying to get vantage shots of Helen. Helen went through numerous acrobatlcs--which .the members hoped they caught as "still'' shots on their film. Approximately fifty members were present, with half of them "armed" for heavy shooting. There was a symphony clicking of shutters at each flash.
Latin students are finding the ancients had an originality all their own when election time·came around. No press or radio was at the disposal of the the officeseeker two thousand years ago, so campaigning was a simple matter of wielding a paint brush over the city wall. The artists covered the walls with political ballyhoo. "Vote for Quiritus Maxiim1s-Cbeaper Food and a Free Circus!" Voting in ancient Rome consisted of casting a little ball made of clay into a container. The col_o r scheme of the balls was the key to the whole election. White ones meant "yes" and the undesirable black•ones signified "No." Today the voting process goes on, and we still use Roman terminology in saying we cast a · ballot, because this actually means "throw a be.II.'

H. C. Mardis Is Nominee To Head N. S. T. A. District; Choir, Band to Perform Noted Persons Will Appear
Art Club .Gets H. C. Mardis, principal, is a New Talent nominee for the office of presiJean Smith Elected To Vice-Presidency; Hanna Moore Speaks Mrs. Ha.nna Moore, from a local department store, spoke to the art club, Thursday, October 17, on the subject of pictures for home decoration. The 20 new members attended the meeting. Mrs. Moore showed examples of copper and steel etchings and wood cuts or block prints. "Frames can simply be .something to edge the picture with or something to bring out the values in the print," said Mrs. Moore. "For instance, black frames help to bring out the delicate lines in black and white etchings." Mounting pictures with three, .four, or even five inch mats is a very moderri idea and gives perspective.

Nine Faculty Members Caught in Draft Sixteen million strong and more, sons of the poor. and wealthy, truck drivers, Hollywood glamour boys, big league ba II players, waterfornt drifters, college students and the teachers also, swarmed in and out of the registration places throughout a day unparalleled in American hi.story last Wednesday, October 16. The iaws required that all men between 21 and 35, inclusive, register for the draft. The requirement forces on one and all. Among members of the Lin· coin high, school faculty · have signed up for conscription are G. Gilbert Rogers; Cecil Stanley and Gerald A. Kvasnicka, who also has four brothers and a brother-in-law who have signed. M. D. Bobbitt, Carl Manthey, and W. A.

This Will Be a Wonderful G. 0. P. Year If Our Stra'W Poll ls Any Barometer Flash! Whom would the students and faculty of Lincoln high school choose as their president, senato1', and governor?· According to the Advocate straw poll, 1,311 persons show a preference for Wendell L. Willkie and 1,267 follow the politics of Fr an k Ii n D . Roosevelt. Norm an, Thomas, socialist nominee, polled 41 write-in votes, although his name does not even appear on the Nebraska ballot. On the whole, L. H . S, is strictly Republican. Dwight Griswold led the race for governor by a margin of 240, with a total of 1,273 votes to the 1,033 .Polled by Terry Carpenter. For senator Hugh Butler received the most votes, totaling 1,217, against Roy Cochran'8 1,154. " - - - , he's our man, throw old - - - in the g arbage can." Names are supplied depending on 4Vhether the speaker is for the donkey or the elephant. At the present time politics is one of the most popular subjects of discussion. Perhaps the best arguments are voiced in history classes. Many statements show en-
lightened information but alas? a great many are pointless because of lack of information. Even in the Advocate's poll various pupils and other personages received votes, such as Gracie Allen , whose political convention was in Omaha this summer, and for whom 12 votes were cast. One vote was re<:eived by Paul Hyland, Ed Hall and Jack Tilton, as Don Bottorff, and a member of t he faculty each garnered two votes for the presidency. Harold Fischer, Bill Ingles, George Howard and N orman Herdt polled voteR for the office of governor. For United States senator the names of Tom Herd and J esse Damian were written in Yahudie received three votes for president, two for governor, and one for senator. Two of the more radical or misled pupils cast ballots for Hitler. Other persons of national prominence or mythical characters who received votes were-for president, "Cactus" Jack Garner, Earl Browder, Cordell Hull and the Superman- for governor, the Lone Ranger and Billy the Kid- for senator, Long Tom, Buffalo Bill and the Shadow. A ballot which might have been cast in 1900, 1904, ·1912 or 1936 named " Teddy" Roosevelt .f or

The school news source fir st started at a two-column, monthly magazine, later becoming three column and in 1916 became a paper. If anyone has information on where to get issues of the Advocate of 1900 to , 1914 the staff would apreciate hearing about it.
Apple for Teacher; Will It Help Tests? Could it have bee!\ becan.s e they were fearful of their marks in the coming Latin test that Marilyn Houser and Janet Howerter through their combined efforts furnished Miss Ethel B. Beattie w ith a nice, fresh , red apple? No one claimed ownership of the apple until Miss Beattie made the statement she could not give anyone credit for it until s h e found out whose it was. This brought up a score of hands, but its ownership was finally established. The girls are now considering whether the credit will make their marks go up or down, if a ny iR given.
president and "Alf" Landon for vice-president. These votes were certainly foolish but how many times have you really hear d a boy student say, "I wouldn't vote for him 'cause h e takes too many fishing trips instead of tending to business" or on the other hand, hasn't everyone heard the feminine viewpoint expressed by the. remark, "Why can't he wear a stiff collar and comb his h air?" After all do you suppose these are the only reasons the wearers sport political buttons? It would b e hoove every voter and every boy or girl who expects to vote to a c quaint himself with all the facts and not just be swayed ·by "incendiary" statements! In the other part of the poll 1,662 persons asserted their preference for the continuation of the daily 8:30 five-minute news. broadcast by the Advocate. The idea of only school bulletin broadcasts garnered 34.3 votes. Thirty-four ballots stated that they desired music with the morning news.

Student Council Conclave Reported Upon; Delegates Hear Dr. Harold Lancaster Convention Inspires Better Citizenship Going to such a conventio:i as was held in Omaha la·s t week-end gives a person a different perspective. There is an opportunity to compare the JSchool you are in with other schools. Some schools have achieved better results alony certain lines than we have. But many are much more regimented than Lincoln high school. Our students have much more freedom and have a ch.a nce to assume more responsibility and to do more on their own initiative than a great many schools. In .some places, the students have practically no voice, even in the election of their student officers; it is almost entirely fac~ ulty controlled. Our students are g iven an opportunity to assume all the re· sponsibility they can, and I am sure, a.s they show they can take more, it will be given to them. It is a challenge to live up to the trust that i,s .placed in them, Lincoln high school now ex- . eels in such things as athletics, debate and publications. Why not also excel in citize.nship and make Lincoln high school the outstanding .school in the Middie West? Helen Dunlap.

Omaha meeting Attracts 300 :More than 300 student-officer delegates ftotn approximately 50 S<Jhools in 9 states attended the thirteenth annual Central ~tates Student Council convention l~ld October.18 and 19 at Omaha. The sudden change in convention site because of the outbreak of polio in Sioux: City, caused a great reduction in the number of delegates · attending, but only served to in• crease the spirit of the conclave, according to Mary Lou Holtz, T om Hyland and Bob Campbell, delegates representing Lincoln high. Miss Helen Dunlap and Miss Marguerite Gunqermann, student council sponsors, were also in attendance. "We Live-If," was the topic chosen by Dr. Harold Lancaster of Ottumwa, Iowa, the principal speaker of the convention. He brought out the importance of Jiving and stated that these four d imensions are necessary for life: length, breadth, height and depth. In reference to length, Dr. Lan• caster brought out the fact that we get along p"retty well adding years to our life but we need someone to t each us how to add life to our years. "Breadth largely depends upon the number of things you are alive to," h e explained. A bit Qf advice was given to those desiring a r eal life, He stated that life is a slope and one must keep worktng to .g et anywhere. He also suggested that high school pupils had better grow to the place where they are taking on a little responsibility in the community. After this first united session, the group split up into state unit!!. It was voted at the Nebraska meeting to have Omaha Benson administer state distribution of national and district council do.i ngs. Grand Island was announced a» the Ritf'! ot l1 <'Xt ycfl r l' ,~ t ate (',O,l'.I.· vention. Dr . Lancaster was also the speaker of the afternoon meeting. "We Live-Why?" was the subject of his second talk. In it he warned the delegates of the growing dan· ger of the softness of the American people. At the conclusion of this speech, the convention split up into d is· cussion groups. The dinner speak· er was John F. Schmidt, guidance director of Sioux City schools, who continued the theme of the conference, w hich was "We Live" with a talk titled "We LiveWhen ?" Mary Lou Holtz was chairman of the nomination and place com· mittee. The site for next years dist rict council convention is to be Wichita, Kas. At 10:00 Saturday the concluding speech of the convention was given by Dr. Fred B . Dixon, principal of Hickman high school, Columbia. Missouri. The subject of his speech was "We Live-How?" Central high school' a cappella choir sang for the group on Friday morning, and representatives could take their choice of two football games scheduled for that afternoon, Other entertainment planned included a banquet at the Technical high school, a dance on Friday night, and a tour of Omaha, and its environs on Saturday. Because small schools have problems different from those o! the larger schools, it was decided to have two separate group discussions with only students talking at these meetings, Problems of individual schools were presented from the floor.
Student Council Plans for Party Plans for the first matinee party of tbe year and for the student council convention were discussed at the meeting Wednesday. The matinee party, of which Betty Hertzler is the chairman, is to be held Wednesday, October 23, in the girls gymnasium. The doormen, Perry Branch and D on Stewart, and the members of the courte sy committee, Barbara True, Jean Whedon and No.ncy Green, were chosen. The constitutional amendments which have been passed by the h ome room representatives are to be referred to the student ·affairs committee and H. C. Mardis for appr oval. Courtesy was also di8cussed and further a ction will be taken on this subject at the next meetin,1;.

Northeast High Means New Competition for Lincoln The cornerst:one of t he new Nort.heast high l'lchool has ~een laid. and a friendly: rival in Bports has undoubtedly been born. When the new school is finished, which will be soon enough ~o that some students will still ha here in Lincoln high we will have a rival in Lincoln comparable in size to our school. This will be a much happier state than at present, with an all-powerful foncoln high needing only to :-lend out it,<; reserve football team to compete -w ith the smaller high schools. A new spirit of intra-city rivalry will be built up and a football game between the two BChools would become a yearly classic romparable to the Scottsbluff game this year instead of only a reserve game receiving scant space on the sports page. The new high school, hO\vever, will not only b~nefi.t foneoln in a~ athlet.ie way, but also it will benefit the suhurhs in an academic way f"'' · " i ; ; en;1b i1· •i;P. ovPt'f'.r owded and nve;. l!g~t! •l'hoo]~ of thrPP o.f T.iucoln 's s11ln1rbs to 1'm1d th!:ir stnd eHts tn a. ~"hool whi.. ·L will <11' fer all the modern irnpro vf\mr>nts thar. haYe come in the years since the older schools were built. Well, whether in an a.thletie or academic W&f, three cheers for Northeast high.
Friendship Accomplishes More Than Criticism In any community there are persons who, through ignorance, malice, innocence, or merely thoughtlessness, do much to injure one 's reputation. Persons who eondernn others seldom if ever realize that perhaps their talking is 11.11 ba.d as the act .for which they are criticizing another. In a large school, one can ca11se R not.her a gre11t de11l of emhan·assmcnt, pain, and discomfort, merely using that person as the subject of a discussion. In a. la.rge school, every one knows someone. a.nil some few know every one. Therefore, it is inevitable that gossip can 1oon cover the school. All that i11 necessary to injure some one's reputation, is to start t he proverbial ball rolling, and by the time the story has reached the largest audience possible, it has so spread out of proportion, that the <la.mage done is ir repairable.

Practical Jokers Not Welcome in Lincoln High There is a vny petty little trick employed among certain boys in Lincoln high. It consist,._ of turning on a water faucet to allow some friend or acquarntance to drink, and then turning it off before said person has had a chance to get a drink. The people that do this, generally think oi themselves as being clever or smart; furthermore, they expect to have the a ct taken as. a joke. All too often, there are too many big troubles to try a person's patience. but to add the above-ment.ioned discourtesy to the list is exasperating to say the lea-st. This ed·itor:lal is directed not only at those who perform this little trick, but also at those who have the audae.ity to chew gnm in class and to stick it under desks. This al so is a petty, dumb practice perform ed only by those who have not seuse euough to do more. Sn<~h thoughtlessness in<lieates a. very Jm,_,· standard 0£ living of those who do it.

I sul>mlt t.his letter to the Advocate to gain publicity. for a question which will determine whether education in this school will remain static, or progress, absorbing all moderately rea11onable sugg()stions presented by students and teachers. That question is, How much interest does a student assume in the way his student governing bodies operate ? This question arises, among other reasons, because in the last week changes in the ' school constitution give the faculty student affairs committee the power to remove a member of the student council by ·a unanimous vott!, and the power to remove a member of the home room representatives by a unanimous vote, with the recommendation of the sponsors. In the past the power to remove a 11tudent council member W88 held by the home room :representatives. and the power to remove a representative was held by the student council. With this power in the hands of the faculty, it means only one t hing, we students. on the w.h ole, are not assuming responsibility for our student government. This new provision shows that we do n ot carefully consider the students we elect to fill offices in our government. Then when we find that we hav1! an incompetent officer we do :not feel strong enough to recall h im. We shirk this responsibility and ask the faculty to perform the unpleasant task of removing him. Our student government is not working effectively when the faculty must be made rellponsible for
it. An effective student government is necessary to us because it is our voice in the management of the school. If it is not efficient, it is a weak voice that may fail us. lf It is efficient, it is a strong voice, one that can be . depended upon to reflect the true views of the student body. The fault i111 our own and can only be remedied by Us.
We must first consider carefully the records and attitudes of the ;people we nominate for a position jn student government. We must tthen e:ect
tbf'; besl
t'rr:orn
th o~P.
:nominai e<i. When we begin to take an Interest in student government. we shall elect better, more qu alified officers. With all officers of the highest standard, and truly responsible for their administration, our student government will function effectively. At the present time we must make our individual home room representative re11ponslble to our will by insisting on his reporting the minutes of each meeting to us, as a home room assembled. We can then instruct him lUI to how he can vote, and make his vote represent our attitude. We must a.lso use the student council box to its .f ullest advantage. Through it we can make our will felt, and thus make the council representative. Student government will then be responsible to the student, and will be something we cal'l. be proud of. If we students make our government work, the faculty's faith in us will be increased one hundred percent. They will have more confidence in student judgment and feel that any new responsibility the students assume can be executed efficiently and wisely. Our task is not an easy one, and the results will not be immediately apparent. We have been loafing too long. We have much that is yet to. be done. There is no time like the present; let'11 roll up our sleeves and go to work. --ELM~ SPRAGUE.
To the Editor: Doesn' t the band of Lincoln high have any manners? At the half of the Scottsbluff vs. Linccln game the two bands lined up to come upon the field. The L. H. S. band marched first and when they were nicely situated the Scottsbluff band came to take their place. Since Scottsbluff were guests of Lincoln high I think they should have been the first on the field. SHIRLEY KING. Editor's "ote : The L. H. S. band had more members than the Scottsbluff · band; therefore the Lincoln high band had to have seven rows of players and the Scottsbluff band had only enough for si~ rows. The maneuvers were never practiced by either band before the game, but were worked out on paper by Bernard Nevin and James Johnson of Scottsbluff, through correspondence. It was Mr. Johnson's request that the Lincoln high band march oo to the field first, so that the smal!er Scottsbluff band could maneuver into position between the Lincoln band.

School Handbooks Contain All Needed lnforniation of Every Pupil Enrolled "Handbooks from Roosevelt high school in Dayton, Ohio, give the names, addresses and teleph one numbers of all the pupils," reports Doris Neidhamer, former Roosevelt student.

A half hour period is given to eve·ryone after homeroom period for the purpose of studying. The school has a population of about 2,800 people. It has two large swimming pools, one large and one amall gymnasium, and an auditorium tha t is bigger than Lincoln's.

Jack n•r.Q nfPrn Will Reign on OctobPr .!JI "Bring in all loose lawn fur niture, not forgetting the hose!""Close the garage doors", "Turn on the ·porch light," etc. Do these remarks $ound familiar? That's right, 1-iallowe'en, the name of the popular boisterous autumn cele. bration meaning "holy eve" which falls on the thirty-first of October. All of our familiar customs, game,s and pranks of "kids" and " grown ups," together with the ghostly tales by the fire. place are relics of pagan days when witches, gh~ts and superstitions were a reality. Althougti the majority of the pranks and jokes are harmless, considerable damage i.s done to empty and occupied houses and property in general by persons who let their desire for a good time suhpass good judgment just to get even with "the old crank next door" or "the neighborhood cop!" One of the most familiar sights on the eve off "all Hallows" are figures robed in white sheets (not Ku Klux Klan members by far) ranging like a stair stepe, patroling the streets. · England and Scotland, In various ceremonies were held to find a promised sweetheart, whilt the Romans celebrated the fe.stival of Romona, goddess of gardens, at this season.

H. S. students, w ere seen leaving Lincoln early Sunday morning. About every third car was filled with sport11men eager to reach the hunting grounds. ·Pheasant and waterfowl hunting are In the top ranks of Nebraska's favorite sports. The season on ducks and geese opened Wednes day, October 16. Lancaster county is closed for pheasant.8 this year. The pheasant season ends November 4.
"As a whole there is very little difference between Lincoln higl;l and Roosevelt high," stated Doris. There a.re also tennis and golf teams, but no swimming team. plays for the state championship.
Lincoln Teacher Visits Nebraska Petroleum Fields Interest in the extraction from the ground of petroleum led C. 0. Morrison, electricity teacher, Sunday, October 13, to go with his family to the Nemaha valley region around Falls City, Nebraska'11 "Little Oklahoma" territory, to visit · the oil wells there. While in this region, he took specimens of the crude oil and took photographs of the wells and machinery. "A great many of the wells still have derricks left up," said Mr. Morrison, and mentioned that this p robably meant that there was still some amount of drilling being done on these wells since mmally alter the drilling was discontin ued, and the oil flowed smoothly, the big-h p :.Tamicla.I derricks, (a ctually on\y frames for the lH,, avy .drill ll.pp aratus ) w ould be Lor n down "'nd pumps would be installed. "One lease," h e said, "had at l east t w elve derricks erected." The rather large number evidentlly signifies some new drilling. " The wells, which usually follow along the Nemaha river, are drilled about one quarter of a mile apart." "When they are driiled very near to each other, as they are in parts of California, it usually means that. the companies owning the wells are in a great hurry about getting the oil out of the ground. Since there is little rus h a bout producing this oll, the w ells are placed far apart," Mr. Morrison commented. Although the Burlington haa nm a spur to the oilfields, a pipeline has already been built a few miles to facilitate shipping of the oil and one is ,planned to run to Falls City. Mr. Morrison was surprised to notice the great number of out-ofstate license plates on cars parked near the wells. Many, of course, were from Texas and Oklahoma, but others came from the East and so showed a general interest in Nebraska oil by people interested in petroleum.

Why? Why on earth aren't the clocks in the school the same? Every clock in the halls says something different. During the lunch periods you a ccidentally glance at the clock and bewail the fact that you're already late. and you're either in the opposite end of the building or so far away it's impossible, even if you hurry, to mak.e it. You rush and arrive breathless at the door only to :eind yourself early. It even works the opposite way sometimes and makes you late. Then the teachers blame you, and you explain about the clocks, but they know. All the same alibi. If .we could be assured of the correct time lots of us would feel much more at ease.

ADVOCATE SPORTS PAGE Red and Blacli Gridders To Play Host To Omaha Elevens in Coming Frays South Packers Outfit Coming Here Oct. 25 A South high Packer team, aporting a host of new faces, invades the Lincoln stronghold. Friday, October 25. Due to the fact that a good many of last years eleven were handed graduation certificates, the Packers, tutored by Cornie Collins, got off to a slow start. Taking a 24 to 6 setback at the hands of Creighton Prep,· they bounced back, with a better balanced team to take Benson's measure 3 to 0. After garnering a victory at the expense of Central 14 to 6 they took a 19 to 6 drubbing at the hands of Tech, one week later. South Underdogs. When asked if a man has a better chance than a woman h e replied : "I think a man has a little edge over a woman beca use there are fewer men in this line of work. It is a fine business because it gives you the chance to create and not to follow a routine which to be would be very boring." South, rated as about eighth in the state, undoubtedly will enter the game as the underdog. However, as a close observation of the 'statistics will show, the Packers have scored in every game and are not lacking in the offensive department. With a fast attack that is built around half and full spinner into the line, the South eleven mixes a lot of razzle dazzle. Any team that is right and happens to be clicking can cause a lot of damage and is one to be watched. Sparking Cogs Evident. In the past games the South attack has revolved around "Big" Jim Senstedt and Bud Mocklestrom. Sanstedt is the 6 foot 3 inch end who is already well known to Lincoln fans after the basketball and baseball seasons a.nd has generally sparked t he play. On UH-7

Northfield in Decisive Win Wtih a commanding display of straight power football, the Northfield aggrega tion drubbed a s tubborn College View reserve team, 12-0. Starting right in with the kickoff, the Northfielders marched to within striking distance, the biggest bit on a pass from Schult7. to :M:cWilliams, but were s tymied by a 15 yard penalty. The first score came when a punt was blocked on the Viewma.n's 2.2 from where Lemen, McWilliams and Burlowitz combined to put it over. The second counter came as a result of a 30 yard run by McWilliams who was aided by fine down-field blocking by Munro.
Tech Invasion Marks Finis . Of Home Games A Tech ball club that undoubtedly ranks as one of the state's top four, faces the Red and Black here Friday, November 1 . Heartened by a sweet bunch of gridders, Coach Ken Kennedy has welded together an eleven that issues a real challenge to any team. Undefeated Thus Far. The :M:aroons have advanced through a tough schedule so far without a setback. They started the season by thumping North 31 to O; then took Central's number. 27 to 7. Slipping by South 8 to 6, they continued the winning style by shellacking Benson 39 to 7. Attack Balanced. T he Tech attack is well balanced with regular football seemingly the style. The spearheads of attack are Vacanti and Rutledge, a pair of stellar backs who so far this season the opposition has been unable completely to bottle up.
Sons of the Black and Red Jim "Dynamite" Deffenbaugh, senior, one of the smallest players on the team, tipping the scales a t 165 POUildS and measuring 5'9 11 in height, is one of the fastest centers on the team. Jim wa s a first s tr in g center for r c s e r v e s last year ancl has helped out ably at center position on the Red and Black squad this year. In the 6-2-2-1 style the center plays as linebacker and this spot seems to suit "Dynamite" f in e because it's n ere that he hits them hardest. Neil "Nugget" McPherson, junior, is a good place-kicker and Reinald "Speed" · Murray, senior, end, returns from last year's state championship squad where he played understudy to Melvin Kezler. Murray weighs 155 pounds, is 5 feet 11 inches tall and packs plenty of reserve speed. His lightning charge and pass grabbing should bring many praises to him during the remainder of the season. fast for · his size. He was a first stringer on the r e s e r ves last year at · tackle, and one of the reasons the reserve line came close to being a stone wall. With another year of c o m p e t i tion "N u g a t v-.rill more than likely be slated for the starting t a ckle position next fall. 11
Great Baseball Player Here Lincoln high's gift to the world of baseball fame, Leslie :M:ann, returned to the scene of his earlier life this week when he visited his "school teachers." It was during this visit that Mr. Mann spoke to the seniors in assembly Tuesday morning. When he graduated in '11, he had been an athlete but in football, basketball and track, rather than in baseball. During the following summer he went to Seattie, Washington, ti) play ball, but after a short while he was sold to the Boston Braves, than a National league team. After this start he played on th<! Giants, Cardinals, and Cubs, in a ll 16 years in the major leagues. Among the immortals who were his teammates were Grover Alexander, Christy :M:atherson, Rabbitt Ranville, Johnny, Evers, and Rogers Hornsby. Desire for an education led him during the winters to return to Springfield college and he was graduated as an athletic director in 1915. After graduation camt: the war and he spent two years as athletic officer in the army. Because of the work he did here he was awarded the position of athietic director in Houston, Texas, opening up a new field in sports for boys in the south. From here he went to Indiana and took over the duties of head coach in baseball, assisting in football, returning to his own college, Springfield, where he served as head coach. But perhaps :M:r. :M:ann's crown·· ing achievement is his introduction and organization of the Internawith the greatest anthusiasm. In 1935 he took a squad of boys. tu Japan to play and was received with the greatest enthuisasm. In 1936 he took two squads of boys t o the Olympic games and played them before the 52 nations. Aftet the Olympics he toured France, Belgium and England. The game was accepted by the different nations and it was h ere that international baseball started. Securing John :M:oore a s a sponsor, he designed what is known as the :M:oore cup, to baseball as the Ryder and Da.vis cup a re to golf an<:!. tennis. That y ea.r the tournament to win the cup, known a8 th0. World's Amateur Series was held in Havana. It was a ttended by Porta Rica, Hawaii, Venezualy, the United States, Cuba and others in the western hemisphere. · Mr. :M:ann has also written books on baseball and competitive sport3 and designed a sports movie for sports instruction.
Lincoln high's terpsichoreans will be given a chance to use their creative ability. Girls in the afterschool modern dancing classes have progressed far enough to begin cor;nposing their own dances. Too bad Miss Story isn't still in school. She played nine holes with the girls in the golf tournament and came in with a low card deserving at least an emblem. Deck tennis has been introduced to the girls in the first period classes that meet three times a week. This game is making a bid for po.pularity as it is fun and less strenuous than speed barf, also less dangerous as the girls will tell you. Floorburns when one is playing indoors and bruises and hard falls on the cinders when outdoors are all .toG easily obtainedbesides it isn't so disastrous to hair dos.

Lincoln high protected its undefeated untied and unscored-upon record at Curtis Friday, October 19, with a record of 61 to 0. From the opening whistle to the closing gun, it was all I.Jncoln with one exception. Curtis threatened in the third quarter, when with the ball on the Lincoln 25 yard line, they lost on four straight end sweeps. ·Wismer, only one to score twice. Dale Wismer crossed twice and passed for another to Wes Maser. Salsbury crossed on a 35 yard pass from Ewell who also accounted for a touchdown. Other markers were made by Jones on a pass from Chapin, Boehmer and Chapin. Pass scores first. A short pass from Wismer to Maser over the center of the line was good for the first score after 'Vismer, Ewell and Chapin had driven 40 yards on tackle smashes. Chapin went through the line. for the extra point. "Wis" cracked the Aggie line for runs of six and eight yards as Klein converted once, to complete the first quarter scoring.
Linc.oln suffered a letdown in the second quarter as "Stepper" Jones chalked up the only markers on a. 25 yard run after taking Chapin's pass. Jones went through the mid- · die for the conversion. The half ended with Lincoln leading 27 to O. To start the second half Jones scampered off tackle for 20 yards to the Curtis 2 from where Boehmer went over and Klein made it 34 to 0. Bc;ttorff roamed around end for eight yards and another marker and Chapin broke through tackle for 10 yards for the last touchdown of the third quarter.

Mothers, Fathers Welcome Laughter, Mirth Will Reign When Curtain Rises on ''American Passport" Tickets Still Remain on Sale; Get Yours Now· With but two days in which to complete last minute preparations in anticipation of the first performance of their play, "American Passport," by Dana Thomas, the Mummers announce the roles which each of the previously announced members of the cast will characterize Friday and Saturday evenings in the auditorium at 8 :15 p. rn. Ed Hamilton, a typical middle class :American, who considers himself a good husband and father until he learns a..s a shock that he has left a lot undone in the education of his children, will be played by Richard Toren. Louella, his impish daughter and the youngest of the Hamiltons, will be brought to life in the peraon of Bonnie Ricky. ·Portraying Judy Hamilton, the older daughter, will be Dorothy James. Judy is nineteen and very lovely. She is the type who is constantly forgetting to look before she leaps, and though slightly less grim than her brother, she is equally fervent in her defense of their "principles." Dick Has Intent Life Ideals. Dick Hamilton, the only son, is 80 intent on his ideals that life has lost much of its laughter for him, though he eventually comes back to a normal viewpoint. Both he. and Judy are so wrapped up in their work that they fail for a time to understand the American view of things. Herschel Webb is Dick.
"
Sybil Jennings, a friend of Dick who has nerve enough to tell him the error of his ways, will be played by Alice Wenzlaff. Bertha Hamilton, characterized by Bobbette Burke, is the mothf'r of the Hamilton clan, and ex· bemely zealous for the welfare of her brood. Bertha is intelligent, though she has. a habit of accepting things as they appear on the wrface. Acting as Aunt Jen, who, though •evenly, manages to keep abreast of the times, will be Elizabeth Foster. Bill Wilson, deeply in love with Judy, is twenty-five and already knows where he ls headed. Much as likes Judy, he remained unaffected. by her "principles." Bill will .be played by Jack Blankcn•hip. Mrs. Schwartz and Mr . Craig, a neighbor woman and successful business man, will be portrayed by Betty Schultz and Harry Mea,;e. Incidentally Harry is trying to grow a .mustache for his part in the play. Portrays Small Town Problems. "Americ1m Passport," which is just .off th.e press, is a highly provocative comedy, depicting some of the social and political life of our day. It prf'sents in a refreshing and mirth provoking manm~r, the problems confronting almost any small town family. Tickets went on sale November -' a.n.d may be secured in the following manner.

Straw Poll Hits Snag In National, Election With most of the counting done at midnight in the presidential race, these figures were released just in time to make today's issue or the Advocate. All of course are unofficial and by the time the Advocate is distributed may be incorrect. Leading in the presidential race was President Roosevelt with 10,865,421 votes against Mr. Willkie's 8,564,010 votes. The high school straw poll was in opposition , with President Roosevelt trailing Mr. Willkie by 44 votes. Actual figures were 1,311 Willkle, 1,267 Roosevelt. Next week's Advocate will carry a complete comparison of the straw vote and the national and state elections.

Shortage of Leaders Is Not Necessary At every home game of football so for this year, there has been a most apparent shortage of cheer leaders. Such a shortage is unnecessary and should be remedied at once before the long basketball season starts. There is definitely no shortage of leader material here in the school. 'l'here is the group called the Peppers which should be able to give volunteers from among its ranks the chance to fill a pressing need while there is still time. During every game, the hue and cry goes up for more leaders, For every section of the grandstand that has a cheerleader, there are two sections that have none. A group of Peppers, say five or six, perhaps more, could reinforce the undermanned ranks of the cheerleaders and thus help alleviate a grumhling ·f~· 0ili ...b.(: g;-;:.i.":h:i.x~·:--> ii':.. ·, : ;1;-;., ~ g-1 0 Vi78 ·~·~·.tU1 t:rt r .>· g:nne.

Still other members serve with the band during games. If the Peppers can render these services to the sehool, they should be willing to volunteer for such a worthy cause as that mentioned above-cheerleading. The Peppers have been mentioned as possible cheerleading material, because of course, they seemed the most obvious. However, all clubs should attempt to fill this service to the school and, additional volunteers from the school at large should be solicited to fill the need. So remember peppers and all you other 'clubs: They also serve who only sit and wait -for cheer leaders !

Mr.
Mummers Carry on With 'American Passport' On the boards for this week is ''American Passport." It has become a time-honored tradition for the Mummers to present a play and it has always been a good play, because the best plays are always selected and the casts from the upperclass dramatic group works hard because they want to present a fine play. Besides giving the school one of the high spots of the year, the proceeds of the play are usually turned over by the club to improve the auditorium. Thus, school service and ·M ummers have become practically synonymous.

The small jeweled or painted flag pins, sweaters, pocketbooks, hair ribbons and handkerchiefs which are styled from the United States fl~g, are at this moment causing the most concern.

To the Editor:
"Music hath charms to M ot.he the savage breast, To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak." Thus wrote William Congreve in "The Mourning Bride." The power and even value of music was recognized down through the agE!ll by many a wise man. Even now the practical side of music is well shown by the playing of Cho· pin and Beethoven to the English factory workers. It is said that by its. use. the arms production ha.s been stepped up from six to twelve percent. Music then can aid in the dispatching of a task. These factory workers are no doubt norma.i pe.,ple q_nd most of them prefer popular to classical music; But instead of catering to their whims, Beethoven is played. can this mei;in that the people do not know thefr own likes or betterment, or that a tyrannical government stabs classical music down their throats? I do not profess· to know, but the facts speak far more eloquently than I. A school is a place o:t. study, or at least it was so conceived and dedicated (this is ·not generally known). Anything that is rn~t conducive to study should be excluded from school. Anything that conduces to more efficient study most certainly should be included. . Whether classical or popular or indeed any music's effect is beneficial or otherwise should be determined and then it should be played or not as the results indil)ate. If some music (note, a particular type) has a beneficial effect and others a mal!ticent one, certainly we should not foolishly play with it like a child with a high explosive. Better to play none than unknowingly to impair the already rather weak facilities for atudy that we students possess. For these reasons and the personal one that I vigorously dete.st popular music, I am in favor of the abolition of all music from the L. H. S. .sound system, at least until some comprehensive and authoritative investigation has been made and its findings utilized. RICHARD SILL.
To the Editor: I have been talking to many students lately about having dances after our football and basketball games. Have these dances instead Of the matinee parties after school.

Tired a.nd smiling, but neverth.e le98 playing the part of a gracious host, Orson Welles, America's No. 1 genius of the radio, admitted & smattering of reporters to his suite at the .Comhusker hotel, Friday, Oct. 25. The youthful dra• matist, tall,a trifle stocky, with squarely-built features dominated completely the group centered about him. Underlying this was a hint of timidity, becoming to the major~ ity of true. artists, and even more apparent was a dynamic person· ality which fairly exploded from him. He admitted, rather regret· fully it seemed, that he had yet to write a speech before.hand, (the thought of facing 6,000 persons in this fashion was not alluring) and he simply guessed as best he could what the audience wanted. His work is wrapped about the Mercury theater, which is a group of persons banded together to fur• ther the American drama. Though at present the theatre is located in Hollywood, where, under the di• rection of Mr. Wells a two and a half hour picture "Citizen Kane" was recently completed, it is to be understood that the group is a going concern and will continue much as before.

As One Enjoys Game, 1,500 Watts Work 'Lights'
As d. g1·eat pan oi the people of Lincoln sit and watch Lincoln high play football. fow realize that seventy l,:SOO watt bulbs are pouring a flood of. light on the field at a cost of ten to twelve dollars a night. The field, which is illuminated like day, provides perfect vision for the players and seldom do any of them complain about being blinded by the lights. Even though the cost of lighting· is great, night football · has provided Lincoln's team with new suits, various blocking and tack· ling equipment, . and has given a great number of citizens, who otherwise would. be. working, an opportunity to see the team in action.
Miss Weatherby' s Elm Hasn't Sprouted Roses Here's a challenge to all you budding J. Sterling Mortons'! The elm tree that was planted by Miss Dorcas Weatherby way last spring, when these trees were being distributed by the school, is now 8 feet 4 Inches tall. That is, it was 8 feet 4 inches high when this paper went to press. Miss Weaherby is not like Joyce Kilmer, she doesn't write poems about trees, but she labors over her orchard and .watches lt like a policeman watches a parking meter. So if anybody can boast of a finer or larger speclman than the one mentioned, Miss Weatherby would appreciate · hearing about It. She would also like to know if any trees have blossomed roses, as hers has not.
Why? Question: Why isn't the school chant sung in assemblies? A great number of student.s who have been here for a year and more don't even know that we have a chant. I heard it for the first time yesterday, when it was sung in a cappella choir, and I thought it was very beautiful. Why can't we sing it more often? I think it would do a lot to promote school spirit. "Addy" Kloepper. Ans: The main reason the chant is not sung more , in assemblies is that for this song to sound right it should be sung in harmony. Only a very small minority know the individual parts.

"And Tell of Time," a. book by the authoress, Laura Krey, takes place directly after the Civil war in the southern states and in Texas, during the reconstruction period. It is a thrilling book and excites the imagination ot all those who love to read. So good in detail is this book, that a person reading the story can visualize the scenes. For instance, there is the daring ride of a branch of the Klu Klux Klan, a·s it dashes madly to save two innocent prisoners who are to be hanged by Negro troops, who have charge of the government of Texas during this time. Mrs. Krey, herself born in Brazos Valley in Texas, has based the story on true facts of the life, love · and hardships of the Texas people who in their strife for a better state and government for their children, had to overcome many obstacles. Although the book is more serious than humerous it has its funny parts too. After the war ministers and missionaries· came into Texas to teach the Negroes "how to read and write, and something about their government of which they now were a part of." One missionary gave a treed negro-slave some books on economics and government. The poor woman didn't know wa.ht they were for so she· papered her one-room shack with ibi pages and what she didn't u~e for that she burned for warmth in the winter.

Hi-Y Hears Army Expert
On R.O.T.C. Captain McNamara Says N. U. Known For Its Fine Cadets; Oz Black Letter Read
'
Speaking on the subject of the R. 0. T. C. in the University of Nebraska, Ca]:ltain Richard F. M cNamara, a former member of the Hi-Y in Omaha, said last Wednesday night at the Hi-Y meeting, "The University of Nebraska is not only noted for its football teams, but for its fine cadets." Some High Schools Have Units. "R. O. T. C. units," he said, "are in some high schools as well as universities. The high school units are called the junior R. 0. T. C. and the university, the senior." That the land grant s chools, 1uch as the University of Nebraska, that have R. O. T. C. units require two years service of young men who are physically qualified, was explained by Captain McNamara. After these two years are completed, the student may continue for an additional two years on a salary. "There are three branches of 11ervice in the Nebraska R . 0 . T . C.," and he continued that they are, namely, the infantry, engineering, and artillery divisions. Also those who wish to make their career the army, may, after completing their required two years of basic training, · be automatically advanced to second lieutenants in the United States army reserve. Draft Will Effect Students. Asked if conscription would have any effect on the basic training students in the R. 0 . T. C., Captain McNamara replied that a 11tudent who is twenty-one years old would be subject to the draft, but if he were a third or fourth year student of military science, be would not be affected by the draft. "One of the chief aims of the R . 0. T. C.," Captain McNamara aaid, "is to make all cadets expert marksmen." Captain McNamara who was introduced by Earl Slaoson, has been in Lincoln for about a month and a half and is detailed at the Agricultural college campus. A letter from Oz Black to the Lincoln Hi-Y was read by Arthur Schmale during· the remain· Ing part or the meeting. He expressed his appreciation for the lamp that the Hi-Y boys gave to him.

New Kind of Lighting and Its Effect Shown to Students by Noted Scientist That the human eye cannot see six-sevenths of all the light rays that came to this earth, was the opening statement of Dr. H. T . Plumb, lecturer, scientist and engineer for the Gener al Electric company, as he demonstrated his scientnfic equ ipment ca lled the "House of Magic," and valued in excess ~ $1,000, to an amazed audience of Wednesday. Using the seven octaves of a piano as an illustration, he im itated a pianist in a concert, playing only notes in the middle octave. The one o ctave of notes which could be heard compared with the number of colors visible to the eye. On one end of the one-seventh of the visible rays is ultra-violet and on the other is infra-red, both essential to human life for the prevention of sickness as was explained by Dr. Plumb. Showing the audience several sizes of infra-red, lamps he s t ated that even the smallest was radioactive and proved his statement by using a radiometer which violently reacted. Picking up what appeared t o be an ordinary rock collection, Dr. Plumb requested that the houselights be turned off. U nder the rays of the ultra-violet lamp, this ordinary rock collection turned into a beautiful array of colors. By pulverizing these rocks and using them as pigments a large va-
riety of colored lights can be made. Before t urnin g his ultr a violet lamps toward the audience, Dr. Plumb t old the students t o look at each other's teeth and clothing As the la mps were turned tow a r d the students, they ex pectantly looked at each other. T eeth and eyes the only things visible, were flashing ev erywhere. As students put their hands to their m ouths, the discovery was made t ha t fin ger n ails als o became nearly a s whit e a s their teet h . Many students did not recognize their own clot hes. The lamps have the effect of changing color~. Producing a beautifully colored silk scarf, Dr. Plumb request ed that the auditorium be p laced in complete dar kness. Turning on hi!! ultr'a -violet lamp he showed his audience colors some of which had never been seen before. One of these colors was called a black light. Taking a piece of cloth h e held it in the rays of the lam p and it appeared t o be a ver y expensiv e piece of decorated v elvet. Turning on the houselig hts showed it to be a piece of cloth one can buy at ten cents a yard in any dry goods store. Concluding the . program, Dr. Plumb presented t o the s chool a n exact replica of the first incandesc~n t lam p invented by Thomas A. Edison.

The seating capadty is limited, so come early and be .sure of seeing what promises to be a series of close events. Not only will a winning team be determined, but also the girl making the most points will be honored. Admission is free. Speaking of swimming, the girls in Miss Lillian Story's classes are having some difficulty in perfecting a smooth stroke. The snappy strains of the "Woodpecker's Song," while enjoyable are not too advantageous to the rhythmical minded maidens trying to swim as smoothly as the boys on the swimming team. Speed ball teams have been chosen for the semester and will soon be waging a strenuous war of punts and field goafs to determine the victors. Members of the senior team are Betty Abbott, Helen Becker, Berthadean Blado, Alta Bussea r . Jane :.Wlem:iug, Mollie F ox, Eilen Rit ze.n, Doris Scott, Stella Specht, Eunice Way and Jean Whedon. Their junior competitors are Barbara Burns, Helen Bushow, Neva Calkin, .

By Mrs. Gillan and Judge Chappell With the student body in the mood of the occasion, t h e annual Armistice ·day assembly was pre.s ented at 9 :40 Monday to groups "A" and "B" in the auditorium . M rs. Paul H. Gillan, contralto, sang two numbers: "In F.landers Fields" by Bergen and "A Song of Peace" by Flora Bulloc1';, a ccompanied by Mrs. Frank Da rling. T1rn latter was especially interestin g because it:; composer is a Lincel:l woman and it was still in manu. script. The gtJest speaker was Judge E. B. Chappell w ho gave a n address on the theme of Armistice da y. "There w ill a lways be an Am erica if all Amer ica.ns work for the w hole of America. We must p!·eserve traditional li berties and pla;i for f uture liberties ," was t he hig h light of Judge Chappell's speech , · After the address, the school, faculty and pupils alike, stood at attention and gave t he allegia 11ee to th.e flag and then remained standing while strains of t h e " Star Spangled Banner" came from t!1e loud speakers and a spotlight shown on "Old Glory" as it rippled In the breeze.
Who Can Di&cover Why We Were Absent? Calling all cars ! Calling all detect ives ! Is Sherlock Holmes available ?

It was seven o'clock in the morning, .t he mysterious voice had an authoritative ring , school was already scheduled for a ha lf day only and the snow was falling dismally and because it was too early to call the school board and ve rify the statement, it was a nnounced over the radio that school had been cancelled for t he day in order that students who would have to trudge to school through deep drift s m ight be saved the unnecessa ry wa lk. When the school boa rd was ca lled it was learned that this report was erroneous but approx imately two-thirds of the schools populace, not including the facu lty, enjoyed an unscheduled ' vacation while their mo re dubious schoolmates attended sparsely pop u lated classes and joined together in the auditorium for an Arm istice day assembly.

'Crackers' Are Danger To Game Patrons Seemingly little things do have serious a.s· pects. Bill very nearly went home from thi:i Lincoln-Tech game with a:n injured eye. You probably won't notice the wound he did r eceive when you see him in the halls, for the cut is small and not in the least gory. ,It might have been. The cut is in the fleshy part directly above his left eye. But by the slightest of movements; Bill would have paid a very • dear price for attending that game; the sight of his left eye. . Some overl y-enthusiastic football fanatic was supplementing his. lung po,ver with fire• crackers. This celebrant, like the majority or his type, made sure the firecracker lit a safe distance from him, but was careless as to just where that might be. This till\e it exploded near Bill and missed, by the slightest of margins, injuring his l.':Ve.. U this practice is not ended, someone jsn 'i going t(1 be as lucky as Bill. He's g;()in g tci g" home permanently l.njured, instead of merel.v mindful of the seriousness of the thing-as Bill did. He 's not going to move the fract ion of an inch to escape injury-as Bill did. Let's take care of that supposition : "If the practice is not ended." Let's do something about it. For one thing, let's not laugh when an exploding firecracker makes someone· jump. Rather; . let's think of the possible seriousnes.<.1 of the thing and frown upon the perpetrator and make him feel highly uncomfortable and guilty. Collectively, we 've more than enou_gh lung power with which to make a commotion and cheer the team. Let us use our vocal energy to the utmo~t of our ability but let our noisemaking efforts cease there,:__for safety's sake.
Education Is lmpo~tant In Nation's Defense This week is national education week. This week is also a week following the close of two gr~at political campaigns in which every citizen of franchise age was privileged to take put. Our mothers and fathers, older sisters and brothers, all had the right to vote: for the persons they felt best qualified to fill the various offices and, although their favorites may not have been elected, they can realize with satisfaction that they had a voice in our government while in Europe conditions we take ' for granted no longer ' exist, privileges we hardly think of are shining horizons. But we should stop and think if we are to continue our placid life, think of the ways to retain universal suffrage, freedom of speech and the right to the pursuit of happiness. This week when education is being stressed, let us be thankful that in our hands we hold books, not guns, and that the greatest problem facing us is getting tomorrow's les· sons or getting show money-not finding shelter and food for the night or searching for the other members of a disintegrated family. One big step in keeping America American is continued education ·and a few quiet moments of genuine realization and appreciation of our advantages. . The youth of today make the world of tomorrow. If we, the youth, want a peaceful worid, a world safe .for democracy, we must begin now. We must learn how to make our country strong, and how to keep the liberties we have always enjoyed. We must learn how · to defend ourselves with education as well a.s .with weapons. Everyone has his job, but ours will be a harder job than that of our parents. Our job Vi .to make our conntry a beacon light of freedom and democracy in a dictator-ridden world.

Covers Who makes wars? Are they made by men like Mussolini and Hitler or by the social developments that catapult these men into power? These questions and many others are answered in the book, " Th_e Way Out of War," by Cesar Saerchinger. A few of the main points taken up in the book are: how nationalism leads to war; how war "solves" problems; totalitarianism versus democracy and what H itler wanted. The book itself ii!' quite thin and is illustrated with maps showing about the different points taken up by the author. Another book which will interest the most studious is ·"What Germany Forgot" by J _a mes T. Shotwell.

Hawaiian Boy Relates Story of His Life Meyer Ueoka Tells of Home
Rodent Life May Be Bowl Of Cherries But Who Likes a Diet Of Fish and Rice "Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you what you are, whether ye be man or mouse," might well be the statement made by physiology students before the end of this semester. Several plump, white mice now live a happy rodent life under Mrs. Gladys Temple's scientific observ~ ance, blinking pretty pink eyes at rations that would benefit any respectable mouse. They frisk about in blissful ignorance of the exper imental diets that have been planned for them. Since their digestive system compares to man's in many ways, the small creatures will be given diets of different peoples of t he earth. The students will be able to notice marked changes in temperament and growth in each instance. A nervous disposition will be the outcome of feeding one of the mice on Japanese fare, namely. fish and polished rice, which is deficient in vitamin B. The mouse which is fed fine foods , such as sauces and fancy salad dressings, which the French indulge in, will
There is harmony among the Hawaiian people "giving way to no racial prejudice" stated Meyer Ueoka, Hawaiian and student at the University of Nebraska, in his talk to the Hi-Y club Wednesday, November 6. Ueoka who is 20 years old and· works at the Y. M: C. A. in the crafts department as a sideline, has been in the states about a year. He is of the opinion like many others that the people of the middle west are more friendly than · the people of either coast of the United States. People Learn English. He related the history of Ha. waii and the feelings of his people. English is taught in the schools.

This is also characteristic of the French race. The people of Madras, South India, live on rice, dried fish and red pepper that would burn the gullet of the best fire-eater, So the Mr. Mouse who partakes of these dishes will be grouchy, and probably h is whiskers will quiver with anger at the slightest provocation. The representative rodent who dines on Sikh, North India, fare w ill display frivolity and other attributes of good health. Vegetables, whole grain, meat and c~rds are good foods in any language. Whether the English diet will produce a subtle sense of humor is wondered by some students. If the pending alcoholic experiment is carried out, don't be surprised if the mice disturb classes by leaning up against the sides of their cages and singing "Sweet Adeline" in squeaky harmony.

Boys gallantly surrendered their coats to the shivering damsels. Now, the questions is-was the auditorium unheated last week to prove that the age of chivalry has not passed in Lincoln high, or ~s it because the school lacked fuel? During chorus class, the a ir was so frigid that Mi.s s Helen Stowell had the members of the class march around the different sections to keep warm. As a result of the briskness of the atmosphere, the music of these groups lacked the warmth required for the true interpretation of the songs .

Dorothv .,· Carnahan Goes to Clevela11d Lincoln high will be represented at the National Scholastic Press association convention in Cleveland, Ohio, November 28, 29 and 30. Dorothy Carnahan, present. managing editor of the Advocate, made her final decision to attend last week. Going by train the entire way, Dorothy plans on riding the Denver Zephyr to Chicago where she will board the New York Central for the trip to Cleveland. She is leaving on November 26 and will stay about a week. She will be a guest of her cousin who lives in a suburb of'. Cleveland. In 1939, the convention was held at Chicago, Illinois.

Although it is not definite, several other members of the Advocate staff are thinking about attending the convention.

Old Fashioned Thanksgiving O.K. in I ts Place, But Me for Comfort and Home What with even the turkeys confused about the Thanksgiving date this year, pater remarked that we'd spend the holiday at grandmother's. This brought to my mind a rush of thoughts about our trip to the farm, last Thanksgiving. Grandma's hull of a house loomed on the horizon like a sore thumb. Driving into the yard, we were greeted by six barking dogs, fourteen cats, a horse, two grandmothers and a small troop of aunts. I fell up the porch steps and my left eye ran into the outstretched fist of ljttle Johnny wlJ.o always likes to have his welcomes make an impression. Grandma had just had a jam aession, and shiny jars of strawberry jam lined the shelf. We put on the feedbag and there was no denying it was a royal gorge.

Pupils Appear At Vespers Orchestra, Girls Glee Give Fine Performance To Appreciative Crowd Before an a.ppreciative audience, November 17, at the L incoln high school auditorium, the orchestra and girls' glee club presented the first vesper concert of the year. Especially pleasing were the rendition of " Sun .and the Warm Brown Earth" by Gena Branscombe sung by the glee club, and " Triumphal March from Sigurd Joursalfan," by Grieg, the concluding number played by the orchestra.

Doris E. l{luver To Join Faculty Because of an increase of fifty per cent in pupils in the distributive education classes, Cecil E. Stanley will have as his assistant, Miss Doris E. Kluver. She will teach in both adult and high school classes and also assist in the placing of students in jobs. Miss Kluver, who has been teaching in a junior college in El· kader, Iowa, has a master's degree from New York university. Following university she was · employed in Hearn's department store in New York. The increase in distributive education is due t o the fact that students from llB, llA, and 12B will be accepted instead of just from 11B and llA in this curriculum.
Alt.hough the Thanksgiving con• trihution mark of the first day fell below the pace set last year, a quantity of canned goods, boxes and s ome m oney was sent to the bookroom Monday where it was collected for d istribution in the city. Sophomore home rooms, who were attending their regular assembly, did not have a chance to make collections Monday, there· fore they gave theirs Tuesday. By fifth period, Monday, the follow ing articles were 1isted: 47 cans of various. veget ables ; 2 cans of baby food; 1 can of tomatoe juice ; 16 cans of fruit; 3 boxes of jello; 16 cans of soup; 3 jars of jelly; 1 peck of dry beans; 1 can of milk; a sack of potatoes and four boxes of cookies. From the teachers and pupils, $11.75 in money was contributed.

Thanksgiving's Here, And Turkey, Liberty Still Ours My! My! Turkey day, Thanksgiving in other words, is now only a few short houts away. The visions conjured up by this name, Thanksg1ving, dwell more upon . turkey, pies, ·a nd _other delicacies, rather than upon the real meaning of the term, thanks to God for what He gives to us, whether it is valuable or merely some" small thing'. The most precious gift, of course, is life. But without liberty, which comes second · only to life; life itself would be of small account. to man. · All through the ages it has been shown, that .·countries and colonies, oppressed by tyranny, produce few, if any great men. And if such a man was created, he led his countrymen in a fight against the. oppressors. However, in countries with at least some measure of personal and political liberty, there are many more great men, including artists,. playwi"ight11 and authors; as well as soldiers and itate11m:en. The pilgrim!!, who pioneered Thanksgfring, also pionee-recl in the fight for liberty which. culminated in the Revolutionary war. It must be said, however, that the Pilgrims spent somewhat more time :for Thanksgiving than even the most ravenous eafers of today. So when. someone attempts to eorrect you when you eat too much on Thanksgiving, remember the Pilgrims. By the way-bring on the turkey!
Boycott of World Dictators Threatened ·by Science Like the faint glimmer of light to a blind man's eyes, we read of pioneers in the field of 11eience employing their thoughts to save their fellow men. Science invented gas of poisonous char_a cteristics to .kill men, and on the other hand, science makes gati masks to protect men from thit gas. Inventol'S have discovered a new instrument which aids the doctor to work under extremely adverse conditions. Also, the same tran11parent material is used to repair disfigured facefll. Yet men: concoct ideas for making bomb11 and bullets so that doctors have to use instruments and material& to rebuild mi11sing portions. While science or knowledge is sa.v ing the liv~ of thousands of people, hundreds of millions are being destroyed by it. Where civilization has made the incandescent light to be seen by, so has civilization extinguished this light in many countries. But can we blame the misuse of man's knowledge onto those men who invent and create their thoughts T Or should we blame the men who u11e science as they see · fit! If Pasteur were alive today, he would probably invent a theory that would kill germs like the dictators of Europe and Asia. Likewise, if the great Jenner were alive. he would undoubtedly vaccinate the people 11,gainst propaganda and racial and religious hatreds. It has been rumored that an internation11l organization of men of science has been bimded together to keep their 11ecret11 out of dangerom1, selfish, hands. Men who withhold their momentous secrets and inventions from these greedy mii.nillcfll should receive credit for thi11, beca11se they are saving an untold number of human
lives.

Carelessness ls Cause Of Many Losses "Come on, I have the picnic things gathered up, just leave t he fire, it 's about out! " With this action or remark, along with others, people indirectly cause the los s of one of our most valuable natural resources. In the past years, millions of. dollars of timber have been lost, of wh ich around 64 percent was caused by a preventable cau.se which should be borne by ali people. Our forests are very important because they give fuel for timber, break force of winds and make parks for amusements. Although forests are ·almost the largest problem, wild life and minerals are also very important. Because of the careless and dishonest acts of people, our wild life has dwindled until now restricted hunting seasonl!I and areas are put aside to build up the loss. At the same time, some of our most precious minerals, which until recently were very plentiful, have been put on a cont ract mining value so that we would not build up an enormous waste and find ourselves dependent for the resources later. Although we are but a minor part in t his many-year campaign, we can concentrate on the control of natural resources and help build them back to plenty.

With the theme of "Youth an<i Its Place in Industry," Harry Collins Spillman, representative of National Board of Associated Industries, spoke to the B assembly, November 18. "It is not enough to say a man is well educated until you find what he ha.s done with it," he declared, and offered as a test of a well educated man three questions: "What is it doing for my mind?," "What is it doing for my Imagination?," and "What is it doing to the dynamo on my left side?" "Today the geographical frontier is pretty well gone but the scientific frontier which has taken its place, is the head one, and this has not disappeared. 100 years . ago the pa.tent offices were going to close because everything had been invented! At this time there were ninety-two wants of which sixteen were necessities. Today, there are five hundred wants of which around half are necessities."

victims of the breaks at Grand Island Saturday, November 16, as the Third City men subdued them 12 to 0. Played somewhat on the aame pattern as the Omaha Central game as far as field conditions and Linccln's offensive was concerned, the game provided thrills for the Grand I sland fans and chills for the Lincoln fans as a 40 yard pass and run plus a 98 yard runback of an intercepted pass were the only scores. Links Outyard and Qutdown Foe. As the statistics prove, it was Lincoln which provided the power, from the blocking- of Scott's kick on the third scrimmage play of the game to the stopping of every offensive Grand Island presented during the games. They were stopped five times within the 10 yard stripe when all of its passes and plunges were halted when the touchdown hungry machine of Lincoln refused to shift into high gear. Pass Provides First Score. After Lincoln had tried two plays Dale Wismer went back to toss a pass but was hit and fumbled the ball as the Purple and Gold ncovered on the Link's 34 yard line. On the following play, Scott, Grand Island halfback, faded back and threw one to Samuelson who w as behind Step Jones on the Lincoln 15. Samuelson crossed the goal after dodging Chapin, the safety. After Scott had missed the kick Jones and Wismer carried the mail for Lincoln as three scoring threats failed in the first half. The third quarter had no more than started when Lincoln saw its own threat turned into a heart breaking score as Larson, pudgy halfback, raced 98 Scott Agairo Missed the Kick. 'Thro11ghout the contest Sllmuclson, Wilson and Ayoub. the left end tackle and guar d of Grand Island's heavy line stood out effectively, while Wismer, Step Jones, Dale Nelsen and the whole Lincoln line were above average.

These two expert submariners are a unanimous selection of the board. The injury sustained by Robert Kersey eliminated him from the fieid since the board wanted to be entirely unprejudiced and has to judge a ll entrants equally. Tackles were a fairly easy question, the work of William L ee and Gordon Hall of Lincoln in opening holes being such as it was. Richard Goeglin provided a very adequate• substitute. The ends were both hard and easy, the easy part being the selection of Wesley Maser a t one end, but 'at the other end it was a tossup between Charles Thorne and Reinald Murray of Lincoln. When the coach himself can't make up his mind, how can you ask a board of strategy to select them? It may seem a bit odd but it couldn't be decided between them, s o we flipped a. c oin a n d it w ent down a hole so that end position was declared a tie! And now we come to that por tion of the team that caused so murh "'•)rrv and so manv headaches. Th~ four block:s of granite and as Mr. Mueller would lovingly say, "Granite from the neckup. •
Let's Speculate By Warren Emery As old man wrnter who came knocking at the door of the high school oval last week, and made up his ·mind not to let anyone play outside, all the sport classes were chased inside to play. They played down in the basement, in a room that is partly used for storing things. It is covered with sawdust so that the dirt will not fly around when it is kicked. The game that the sport classes play d own there is a modified game of soccer. E veryone including Harry Kuklin seemed very happy about the new idea. When asked who would win t h e Lincoln-Tech football game during a Truth or Consequences sketch in the assembly given on Friday, November 1, Charles Smith replied, "Tech." Dorothy Jean Browne, believing it to be a false statement, made him take the consequence which was to push a peanut across the stage. His statement later proved correct, as Omaha Tech won 27 to 7. As the result Charles h as started a petition which reads as follows:
I, Charles Smith and the undersigned do hereb;y: demand that
We, t he board of strategy, pondered long over this fateful decision, stood firm, never deviating from ou~ true beliefs . F loods of letters came t o us when· people learned that we were selecting an all state eleven. Reports drifted in that Creighton Prep had a pretty back in Wact h ler. Vacanti, another representative from the gate city who was a passer of some. note, was also boosted. From t he far west came tales of the miraculous doings of Carpen ter of M cCook. Yes, we received literally hundreds of letters, but ag I said before, we stood firm, and we now present our "four Horsemen" of the all state eleven! It's quarterback Edward Hall, of Lincoln high. A stocky, barrelhouse player with a flare for calling the r ight play at the right time. Half backs, in case you haven't already guessed, a re J ames .Jones, a stepper from way back who specialized . in broken field running, and Dale Wismer, a herculean ponter a nd a line plunger of tremendous power, both also of L incoln. And for fullback, Raym ond Boehmer of L . H. S ., a boy who makes a game of blocking. We, the board of strategy, are willing to pit this selection aga inst any other state a n d .if a n yone wishes to challenge this sel ection, he ca.n just take it u p wiU1 the boys.
Dorothy Jean Brow ne be compelled to push the peanut back across the stage in a public as. sembly in order to restore my, (Charles Smith's) p ride. Signed, Charles Smith. To date he has 800 signers. Remember S ta n I e y Cohen, tackle on the '38 reserve team ? He is now playing for Omaha Central. " Stan" moved to Norfolk last year, lettering at tackle. Three weeks ago he moved t o Omaha and worked himself up to first string. " Stan," bigger and more rugged than he was two years ago, played a bruising game against his former team mates on the Tech field, Friday, November 8 . A little black spider and a big t en -pound sledge hammer were the cause of much excitement in Harry Kuklin 's fourth period. Mr. Kuklin spotted the spider coming out of a crack in the broadcasti ng booth and at his quick command was handed up the sledge hammer. After many unsuccessful attempts he finally killed it. To give credit wher e it is due here's to M el Kesler who assisted Coach Beechner with his early workouts until he was forced to retire with an infected foot. Mel also served as a spotter for Harry Kuklin at the game broadcasts.
Upon the ' completion .of ,ground plans at the Northeast high school the board of educa· tion wi ll app ly to the WPA for help in development of the grounds which would include stands and dressing rooms at Northeast high athletic field. Twenty-five percent of the total cost wou ld have to be supplied by the board, with the WPA caring for the rest. If the application is approved, Northeast high would be assured of a playing field and a beautiful school ground. This should be of special interest to Lincoln high students, as a Northeast high team composed of the combined forces of Jackson, Havelock and Bethany would furn ish some opposition of the highest calibre In. the state. At this moment, pros· pects for a stiff intra-city rivalry are very bri ght.
Capell Whips Another Opponent Lee Capell, a senior, pulled another fast one in the roped a rena, winning a three r ound boxing dec1s1on over Jerry Potask a of Omaha last week . It was the t wenty-eighth consecutive victory for Lee who won the bantam and feather weight Golden Gloves in Kansas City, Missouri, in July. Jerry succeeded in landing only four punches, but Lee claimed, "They sure were hard ones, m y j aw was sore for three .days." Ascension G o n z a 1 e s, j unior, climbed another notch in fistic recognition by b eating rugged and hard hitting fighter, A l Vacanti, also of Omaha. From the first of the fight Gonzales. won on top of Vacanti who had figured h e had a set up. Vacanti was almost out when the bell ended the f ight. Both boys p lan to enter the city tournament h ere in D~cember representing the Y. M. C. A. ·Lee plans to go to Alliance, Nebraska, to fight in the Golden Gloves, while Gonzales plans to go t o Fremont to try his luck.

In the largest high . school, made up of all boys, Mr. Bimson had visited, they were concerned with the schoJarship of . the ninth, tenth and eleventh grades. They used a file system to keep track of ·the scholarship. A committee of 1-00 boys was in charge of this system and if a boy fell down in one of his subjects one of the boys on the committee would tutor this boy until his grade was brought up. Boys would go around to the sophomore home rooms a.nd tell the pupils what the. school stood for and all about its affairs. In this way these sophomores had a good picture of the school which created more interest of the affairs of the school. To try their best to keep the building clean, an assembly was held where the head custodla.n and some of his helpers were in~ vited to show the boys how they cleaned the building. The boys after this were caFeful· to keep the building clean and a better feeling resulted between the custodians and the students. An example of a school where there was complete understanding between the students and the faculty wal! given to the meeting ·, in answer to this question. "How far .shall this responsibility of ours extend?" "The pupils of this school;'' Mr. Bimson said, "help select text books, help decide room assignments. Even when a room is r,edecora ted they help decide tht color of the paint of the room. " He went on to say that some problems that the pupils didn't come in contact with were left up to .the faculty and the parents. Other problems were put for the students. "Everything ran along smoothly," he explained.
Home Room 120, No Tardinesses With a junior home room, 120, crowned by the glory of being the only room in the building to have no tardiness for the month of November, the juniors are leading again in the prompt pennant competition, the sophomores being next in line. The home rooms having no tardiness were, junior : 120, i36, 209, 227, and 303 ; soph~more: 107. 212. None of the i;enior home rooms had perfect records.

Pro-paganda, The Ro~t Of Evil in Democracy On~ of the most_ necessary and exacting tasks we f;tce today is that of detecting and understanding propaganda, whicli is daily \:le· ing manufactured by myriad agencies-'-good and bad. Do you realize the actual effect of propaganda on YOU? Why do you believe or disbelieve in a certain thing? · "Propaganda is an expression of opinion or action by one individual or group designed to iniluen~e opinions or actions ·of another individuaJ or group," says Clyde R. Miller in a Town Hall booklet. Not a new inhuman invention of dictator!! is propaganda, Caesar's g1•eat celebrations were propaganda for· hin;iself; ·the Boston 'l'ea Party was such against England .and for the revolution. Press, news reel, schools, churches; clubs, "patriotien groups, civic groups-all dii.;penise propaganda. Our watchword should be; Recognize, ..analyze·! "~ll~v an i.'.! l 'V'J'.;1·~ ·t T'r:~mncr-:_·l ~:·.~· ~3_ n ~ Jor ~--Ct~ . pro~ise and ' reason'ing:__alt:~r all-the other fellow might baye a good. point ·or two. Help guard democracy against damaging effect!! of both propaganda and rash action hy observing a few simple rules: (.i) Check your opinion against the "adverse" ideas to find your direction of thought; and, remember, your environment has a lot to do with your reasoning. (2) Suspend judgment until you have all tacts; "vigilante" committees are agents of brute force, not reasoning democracy. Summing up an article on the subject, MHlersaid, "Direct, penetrating thought, examination of sources, and the constant recollection of our own environment; these are the things needed in propaganda analysis, and are the ilings needed to make democracy function more perfectly in all itii aspects-."
Carols Sung by Choruses Sure Signs of Christmas ".Joy to the ·world," "Silent Night," and ".Jingle Bells/' being sung by the chorus cluses, is a sure sign of Christmas. Once each year we hear groups of cheergiving songs sung on the radio, at Christmas vespen, in school rooms and at home. Other signs of Christmas a.re people hmrying through crowded streets and in jammed aisles of department stores buying everything from colored tinsel to tiny china dolls. Christmas for some may just be another day. We who have a wreath in our window and a tree each year do not realize how drear.v it would be without them. Wouldn't it be a nice thought to wake up Christmas morning knowing that you had helped Santa down aome expecting chimney where he would have otherwise missed? !<'ind someone who woultl appreciate even the smallest you have to offer and. be a Santa to them. Put yourself in this person's place. '!'hen you will know just how much he really appreciates your gift. Don't wait for Santa to do it.
Human Nature Is Problem For Deepest Psychology Human nature is most difficult to under... 1tand. Why we do certain things under given circumstances is a complex problem for th~ deepest scholar of psychology. 1\o student of Lincoln high school intends to be rude, irn· gentlemanly or a poor sport. Our questionable ~onduct generally is the resolt of lack of information as to what is expected of us or ~aused by a disinterested attitude toward the program in question. Many students have by their action in a8· iremblies and at public performances brought 11evere criticism upon the entire student body. Let us all remember that it is impossible t o have an assembly to meet the taste of each and every one. That is why we ha\'e a great variety of programs. · II!! it unfair for the :faculty to ask us to be good sports whether we like the day's program or not'! ls there ever any justification for con· duct l\'e cannot be proud of and might ever be ashamed if called to :m accounting? Let'~ all he more thoughtful and responsible for our conduct in future assemblies.

My Friends, as your new column editor, ahem! I promise positively not to use any old ;jokes or u se any gossip. I thank you! (.Johnny on the spQt with my campaign promises, that's me !) To get started on this monstrosity, let 's have a poem: "Breathes there a man with soul so dead, ·who wants to be the column ed, Who'll rustle out the ancient jokes, And take the kicks and sneers and pokes !' (Some poetry isn't it kidd i es~ And it's original too! )

Someone, the former slave to this column 1.o he exac:t, ;j m;t made a humble offering (on his hands and knees mind vou. ) of some de] ieious, delightful, delectab'ic, delovely dirt.. But your corrsepondent, being clean minded and all that, refused it. Which shows to g·o just how far you can trnst some people nowadays.
• • ••
Today, in accordance wit h the change i11 management, a delightful new feature will be added to this column. From now on, n o foolin', a new reature will be in this space every issue! You guys and gals will see each column and feature in this paper reviewed with collosal sympathy of course, so if you chanc.e to see two features with the same lead don 't be scared, it's just the above mentioned new feature. Well, let's see what we have for today: BUGGY BOOK REVIEWS ''Abstract (jonclusions Concerning Geometry" by E. Normus Brainpoucr. Shuf£leofftobuffalo just isn't t he word to describe this book for the ver-ry simple reason that it, (the eookoo book,) just don't. deserve it nohow! 1t is the conclusion of this writer that ~\fr. Brainpouer's conelusions about Geometry should have r emained abstract and that Mr. Brainpouer should tci.

To Mr. S. S. S. and Mr. Greasv: Go easy ~n the column sp~ce , chums; l 'm not in this business for mv healt.h ! (Signed) Me. Rsq.

Then there's the 8tory a bout the experiment in one of Miss Helene Scheme!. 's physiology classes concerning the matter of why a hunk of pig's lung floats in water. Now everyone knows (we hope ) that the buoyancy of the lung of said pig is caused because of the fact that the lung ba.s cavities filled with air like a sponge. Well, anyhow, Miss Schemel after showing the experiment, asked her class, "Why does it floaH" Somebody in the back o:f the room u iurt<id .o ut, " Because it 's ninety-nine and forty-four hundredths per cent pure!"

My faithful assistant, ,Jim Peterson, and I, decided to take Greek and Roman history in our senior year. In order to get the permission necessary to take these subjects, we both at different times and without each other's knowledge, ventured into Mrs. Hyatt 's room to seek the r:equired permission.

Many letters were received from former Forum members. Four of them, including Clyde Martz, '37, John Mason '37, Robert Arnold '39, anJ Robert Dewey '40, are ex-presi· dents of Forum. The other twf) alumni were Frank O'Connell '40 and Paul Toren who also graduated in 1940. All spoke on the political cam_p aign now raging on the campus of the U niversity of Nebraska, and how training in speaking and parilamentary drill would help a person engaging in student politics. Philosoph y on college life came a letter from far away Harvard, the alma mater of ex-Forumit e, William B ouwsma '40. Although he remarks in the beginning of his letter to the Forum, "College is really a lot like · high school," a little later he writes, "in fact there are distinct advantages in staying away from this place. If you like to go out in the evening, if you enjoy reading your own ch oice of books, if you put some value in keeping up with the world, stay away from Harvard. If you consider a good football team and .school activities important, stay away from Harvard. But if you're going to college to study, if you are interested in fascinating work in pleasant surroundings, with the best scholarly resources in t he world, Harvard will do." Letters were also received from Wendell Berge, a graduate of L incoln in 1931, an ex-pre11ident of Forum, and now a Special Assistant to the Attorney General in the Department of Justice. He write.s, "Certainly there

Open Forum To the E ditor: I make this reply because of requests to do so. Personally, my opin.i.on has been stated a nd that should end the matter. Democracy is not. a governmen t legalizing persecution of the m inorities by the majorities, a lthough it is often so const rued. Many. times it is virtually impossible to escape persecuting very small minorities, in fact all legisl ation a nd policy hurts someone. My supporters and I are of this type; a very small minority being unintentionally persecuted in the policy of p leasing the huge major ity. Of this fact I cannot complain, it is an evil inherent in our form of government. Nor can I complain of criticisms and expansions that are warranted, such as the definition of popular m usic, which I neglected to include in my first letter. But I can and do complain of lack of respect for m y ideas, abnormal though they may seem, and of criticisms that are not ju.'!tified, and of inferences read into the expression of my opinions and reasoning. This is not fair, nor is it democratic. I arrived at my opinion regarding school musical policy by no snap judgment. It was in fact the result of a line of reasoning known as "the process of elimination." I sketch it briefly below. P ossibilities: 1. All popular music. 2. All classical music. 3. Mixtures. 4. No music. Eliminated: 1. Personal and logical reasons. 2. Obviously out of t he question. 3. As a compromise f air, but it ha.!! the ability to anger the whole school by turns, which is not g ood. This leaves but possibility number 4. Richard Sill.
never was a t ime when there were more live issues of p u blic importance, requiring t hought and discussion , than there ar e today .

Activity Interest Is Plea Of Open Forum Meetin~ To Council and Students
John Lawlor Praises Team
Johnston Suggests Students · File or Petition for Office A plea for a more active stude nt council, a student body interested in the workings of the semi-governing bodies that ·represent it, and a comparison between the political machinery found at Whittier junior high school and that found at Lincoln high, were given before Fomm m embers, members of the home room representatives and student council, as well as gu ests of the Forum at t he first open meeting of this season, November 25. After a welcome to visitors b y the president, .Elmer Sprague, E lmer Maser, p resident of the home room i;epresentatives, Tom Hyland, president of the student council, and Pat Becker, chairman of the courtesy . committe, e xplained the power s a nd duties ot their r espective organizations.

BY JERRY MOHLER What do you know about a pin-hole camera?
The simplest m et h o d of forming an image on a strip of film is by the u se of a pinhole in the side of a light t ight e nclosu r e. Strangely enough this method was known as early as 350 B. C. It w as referred to -in Aristotle's book "Pr oblemat a ." This procedure seems t o have b een lost th en for several hundred years. In 1519 Leonardo da Vinci shows a diagram in a m a nuscript, the arrangement of th e aperture, the scr een and the course of the light r ays. It became kn own as the "Camera Obscura." The "Camera Obscura" was u sed during this time ai1d later, by a rtists for making sketches more t ru e t o form. Early scientists now began to play w!th it. A Venetian, Daniello Barbara, in 1568 publ ish ed the · first definite description of a "Camera Obscura" with a lens. Af ter 1611, w h en Kepler wrote a lengthy description of the advanta ges of a compound lens .o ver a simple piano convex lens, the "Camera Obscura" became a w ell known device. From these early beginnings we get our r ather complicat ed a nd highly efficient Camera of today. J . G .

so we established the committee of 100. There is talk of making it larger if necessary." Tom was interrogated by Albert Johnston concerning the interest shown by students and faculty toward the student government. Johnston, after mentioning the fact that approximately 60 percent of students v oted their choice in the last junior-senior election of class officers, disclosed how Whittier junior high school polled m ore than 98 percent of the school in elections. He explained t hat a nyone may file in that school for any office upon bringing to the secretary of the local civie league a petition with six ty signer s. The petition system makes for student interest, as Johnston put it, " If the officer there does not do a good job it· is the responsibility of t he students, not the teachers, as it's in Lincoln. " Afterwards a primary election determines who shall run in the major election. Per sons desiring office also have to campaign, making a minimum of five speeches before small groups, setting forth an in telligent, understandable platform. Those who wish may request t he services of a campaign manage r, or may .set down their a ims in w riting, for publication. In contrasting this system with that of Lincoln high, Albert said : "It is my opinion tha t running for public office her e is instead of seeking a job, more like getting an honor." Suggests Positive Program. Miss H elen Dunlap, sponsor of the student council, mentioned tha t wards and precincts, as well as voting booths were used in Lincoln high for student elections to simulate a ctual voting conditions. A lt hough placing herse lf wholeheartedly on the side of governm en tal r eforms, she s uggested th at any recommendations made by this grou p be delayed until a positive, clarified progra m be initiated. A suggestion was made that student council m eeting might be hroadct1st s 0 U1at a ll n1 ight. kn0\v

"Lincoln high was fighting for a championship as is measu red by good spirit, sportsmanship and. t eamwork wh ich is playing the game as it should be played. "You are Lincoln's ambassadors of goodw ill a nd the businessmen of Lincoln are backing you 100% ,'' stated Mr. Lawlor.

Club Speaker Exposes Fakes Lewis Harris Speaks On 'Chemistry's Part In Showing Up Frauds' Lewis Harris of the Harris L aboratories s poke on "Chemistry and its relation to exposing fraudulent advertising" a t the chemistry clu b meeting Friday. Nancy Green, secretary, presided over the meeting. " American p eople are the biggest 'suckers' on earth for believing advertising," declared Mr. Harris but h e explained that perh aps t his was due to the fact tha t up until a few years ago advertising was in its infancy and advertisors dld not try ta° disguise t heir product with misleading advertising. A s a possible explan ation for the reason for this fraudulent advertising Mr. Lewis stat ed that it was impossiple for pa pers and magazines to check t he authenticity of advertisments and t herefore if the advertisement does not sound too absurb it is printed without investiga tion. "Seals of approval tend to mislead people," said Mr. Lewis, "and if one did not look at t he fine printing on th e seal he can easily be misled as t o what th e seal actua lly stands f or ." Cigarette companies, cosmetic and medicinal products are among the. commones t offenders in m isleading and false advertising. However in the last few years the United States government has p layed an important role in turning down false advertising and is t r ying to for ce all companies giving seals of approval to put a ll approved product s through t he most rig id tests. Federal Tra de.;; Commission, t he F ood a nd Dr ug Act and the Wheeler-Lee Act gove rn advertising. T he possibility of t aking a t rip through a local laboratory was discussed.

Says Schultz To Classes Speaking to the physiology classes, Tuesday, November 26, Charles Bertrand Schultz, instructor in geology and assistant dire·ctor of the University of Nebraska museum enlig htened a vid reader s of funny m agazines, t ha t man didn't live at the time of dinnasaurs, but during the ice age. "Early m an is a relative newc omer in this world , in f act he h as lived less t han one percen.t of geologic time," he st ated. On e of the most important d iscoveries was by a Dutch si::ientist , D ubois, wh o in 1892 found the s kull of a Java man in the Dutch E ast Indies. "Contrary to p opular belief," he exp lained , "scientists do .not believe that man came from monkey." H e went on to tell a f ew of the general characteristics of prim itive man, t hey are : a sloping f orehead, th e brain is small and the skull is low. The first man was of the pithelca nthropus class. A very importa nt discovery was m ade about 15 years ago in Peking, China, by the Chinese. "D uring the ice age," he sa id, " no one has been a ble t o find evidence of man living in America ." Calentologists have found t hat in the la te ice age, neanderthal man killed many animals, t hus implying they knew how to m ake implements. "Nebraska ha s proved to be rich in f ossil resources, especially in the west ern part of th e state, a r ound Scottsbluff and Crawford," he· re vealed. "Am ong t hese finds in Nebraska were giant beavers and Jong horned bison. This was probably due t o th e differen t climatic conditions at that time," Schultz concluded. H e later showed technicolored films taken w hile excava t ing in T exas and New Mexico.

" A good car is one necessity of travel," was an opening statement of Gerald K vasnicka in his t alk before t h e travel club .Monday, N ovember 25, Mr. Kvasnicka taJked mostly of the Ca rlsbad Caverns which he visited last s umm er w hile on a t rip t hrough · ten stat es. Carlsbad Caverns are locat ed about 28 m iles from Carlsbad, New Mexico. They w ere f ound in 1901 by a cowboy wh o, t hinking li,e sa.w smoke from some fire, went to investigate and found bats by t he thousands flying out of this cave or caver n. I n the caverns are h uge s talac- . tites and stalagmites which form a cubic inch every century and which are billions of years old. Makes One Unde rstand. W hen inside these caverns, a person ! eels as though he wasn't s o impor tant after all and It makes him forget the world and all his troubles in the greatn ess a nd m ajes ty of the place. "E very Am erican should visit two things, the Carlsba d Caverns t o impress him with the might of God and Boulder dam to convince him of the power of the American people united in co-operative eff ort u nder a · democratic government," h e concluded.

THE ADVOCATE
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1940
ADVOCATE SPORTS PAGE • Let's Speculate By Warren Emery A short review of prep football over the state is certainly in order a.t this time to explain the situa· tion in comparison to the outlook at the beginning of the season. A season that provided all the "Monday morning quarterbacks" with a wealth of arguing material, meekly takes its cue and exits. Seldom has a single year furnished so many upsets a.nd imrprises as h ail this one. Creighton Prep, Grand Island and Omaha Tech were expected to do great things and in a way came thro ugh. Tech and Creighton went undef eated in state competition but Tech lost to Sioux City Central 2ci to 6 and Creighton fell before T ee Jay of Council Bluffs 9 to 7. T o make the results a little more muddled, they met and struggled 13-13 tie. ·In the western part of the state Hastings had been moving a long boasting an undefeated r ecord, but because of weaker opposition wa s considered\ unimportant. By now however it is rated high because it ·defeated both Grand Island, where Lincoln stumbled, and York. Dav id City sta rted well a nd was considered among the top ten, but m et its doom at the hands of Aurora. So the picture is a jumbled one, the r atings have been revamped several times and are still subject of controversy, but the "Advocate board of s trategy" blossoms out with the s ta t e's t op ten; 1. P rep 2. T ech .'!. Hastings 4. Grand Lsland 5. Lincoln 6. Falls City 7. Central 8 . South 9. R avenna 10.

First Cut Leaves 16 Aspirants On Basketball Team Cagers Face Hard Schedule With approximately 16 hopefuls still in t h e running for a first team berth, Coach Beechner started weilding the cutting knife, Thursday night as h e , sent six boys to the reserve squad. This left three teams going to Whittier every evening. To date B eechner has been using several combinations against one another in scrimmage in an effo.>t to find one that would click and work smoot hly. He has l:)een using Wilkinson, Cummings, and Bruns at cen ter, Healy, Hall, Eberhart , Blazek, Campbell and Klein at the forwards, and Hyland, McCune, Wilson, True and H all at guards. H all has been alternating at guard and forward. M embers of the coaching staff have expressed the belief that this year's squad w ill whip into sh ape soon er than did last year's be· cause they are smoother ball h andlers and gen erally better shots. T his means that they should be in fairly good shape by the time of the Central fray December 20 although the lack of time will be a hindrance. A n attractive s late ha:i been arranged that has the Lincoln five playing several teams this y ear that have been missing in the past f ew years. Altogether the Links play nine home games besides the tournamen~ play. Falls City, Beatrice ancl K earney h ave, among oth ers, been added to the home sla te. The sch edule of home games: Dec. 20--Central. Jan. 3-- Grand I sland. Jan. IO- Hastings, Jan. 11-Tech. F ebr. I - South. Feor . 7- Beatrice. Fehr. 11- Jack son. Febr. 22---K earney . Febr. 28- Falls City. From the looks of things, Lincoln h igh missed o ut on a g·ood gam e with Sioux City Central this year. (Cen tral s mo thered Tech 26 to 6J,

Court Tourney Won By Wentz Squad
Buxton Brothers Provide Margin
Boys' Talent Discovered Coach Discovers Seven With Ability For First String Basketball Men The recent basketball tournament provided some boys good enough to get a chance with the first string, which proves the good point of Coach Beechner's plan of organization. The following boys were the ones who displayed enough abi lity to make the grade ; Duke Eberhadt, Don McArthur, Bob Rubino, Jake Bruns, Ed Sommers, Connie Healy a nd Bob S chlesselman. Some interesting statistics also compiled from the tournament were the leading scorers, best free throw percentage and most fouls committed. The t en high scorers were in the following order: Bob Buxton 34, Stan W entz 26, Ken Simmons 20, Jim Buxton 23, George Howard 23, Bob Schreiner 22, Bob Fox 22, Don Bauer 21, K e ith Hamilton 20 and Jim Deffenba ug·h 19. The four high free throw m en were: Harry Fox with five out of nine, Warren Barth with four out of eight, Stanley Wentz with eight out of seventeen, Bob Buxton with four out of nine. Elmer Maser and Bob Fox each fouled eig ht times to lead this d epartment as Frank Sacrider made seven.
Hi-Y Members Improve 'Inn' Improvements galore is the main idea of the H i-Y boys these days since the army took over their cafeteria. The boys are starting to fi x up t heir building to ma ke a recreation place of it. 'Working on Saturda ys and <luring vacations, the members h ave been pa inting walls, fixing furnit ure, enamelin g t a bles, a nd transf erring th~ ga me r oom to the basement . Their big gest project, a bout to be undertaken, is to build a wall dividing a room in half and decorating the n ew room like a lounge. Boys ar e to bring old furn iture and fix it u p so the member s will have a nice social room. After this is completed t hey w ill st art t o work on their r ecreation and game room. The chief a im of the club at the present time is to complete a m ile of pen nies with the other Lincoln Hi-Y clubs. The money will be g iven to the W orld Fellowship d rive to help others in for eign lands.

Lincoln Ends Fifth Place
Wentz's team emerged Friday afternoon the victor of the open tournament, winner of. the championship game 18 to 17, with the Buxton brothers completely dominating the floor throughout every game. From the quarterfinals Wednesday came the outstanding teams captained by Howard, Wentz, McCormick and Becker. After some close battles Thursday night, Howard's team and Wentz's team made bids for the championship Friday. The ifnals were upset by Stan's team which scored first and last. As the .score wavered during the close game, his team just got the breaks to come out on top at the whistle, 18 to 17. However Bob and Jim Buxton s till had supreme control over the court. But at that point, Elmer Maser stepped in and began pouring them in with the accuracy of a professional and, as the teams left at the half, Howard's team had forbed into the lead 11 to 9. During the first half, 8 fouls were committed. Bob Buxton started the third quarter off with a long looper. During this quarter, the ball game was much faster and a better de- · tensive quar t er than were the preceding quarters. When i~ was over the scrambled score read Howard 14, Wentz 16. The fourth quarter wild and a blistering paced. This game while some expected , it to · be dull and uninteresting t urned out to be a fast, exciting, and spectacular.

'Goose Hangs High' December 14-15 VOL. XLVI.
Gymnasium Opened at Noon Varied and useful ways of pupils spending their lunch periods is the immediate. aim of the student council. Noon recreation, long a problem of the high school, is being taken over at once by a unanimous choice of the council in meeting Wednesday. The eyer-present sound of students free during third period while classes are in session ha.s interfered greatly with class work. Ways of keeping halls quiet and holding student interest with something which appeals to pupils is being attacked vigorously by the council. Plans which will make the boys gymnastum available during last lunch, period for dancing, organized games, and any other things suggested, are already in effect. Some teachers are leaving their 'r ooms; under student control, open durin'g last part of their lunch period, enabling students to come in and use the blackboards or provide games for their amusement if, they wish. Plahs for use. of a gymnasium all next semester and possible use of auditorium if adquate entertainment can be provided are already under way and all efforts are being bent toward more interesting noon hours. The safety committee of the council is planning' an assembly along with the posters and traffic rules on the bulletin board. New pictures. are pinned Up every week and pupils are encouraged to see them. Betty Hertzler announced that plans are being seriously considered for a matinee party in the evening.

Student Body Hru Final Flag Choice Because of the excellence of the 24 designs submitted in the flag contest sponsored by the Advocate, the best ·s elected by the judges will appear on the central bulletin board today and the final choice will be ·left to the student body.

This belated decision will appear i·n the Advocate of De· cember 18, along with the picture of the designer.

Eskimos Favor Permanents,NailPolish And Style Their Clothes After Vogue "Pink fingernails, formal dresses and permanent waves are nothing out of the ordinary to the Eskimos in ·Alaska," according to Mrs. Carroll Blac k, who ls visiting in Lincoln for a few weeks. For the past six years, she and her husband, who was graduated from Lincoln high in 1924 and is connected with the government, bave been teaching the Indians and Eskimos in Alaska. They now live in Kake, a village of four hundred inhabitants of whom five are white persons.

She went on t o explain how they spent their leisure time. Of course almo:;it everyone has a radio, which is the chief source of entertainment, The Eskimos like cowbOy music best and .also western movies.

Har1nful Habits Cause Lateness Standing. in the halls before home room period proved disastrous to many students Monday, November 25. Some home rooms will not receive prompt pennants. because of this harmfui habit. Each morning the halls in the building are filled t o capacity, and each morning students start to t heir h ome rooms just a little later. As the t ardy bell rang Monday, November 25, there .was a mad scramble to reach home rooms in order to be on time. The students could not scramble fast enough and many rooms wer e crefjited wilih tardnesses. It proved to be the first offense for many of theim students ~.nd they received t heir excui.es without much trouble.

Movie Shown On Protection How To Conserve Soil and Wild Life Is Purpose of Film Conservation of the soil and wild life of Am€rica, was the subject of a film shown in assembly Friday morning by Dr. Merrit Pedersen in coope ration With the Nebraska Game, Forestation, and Parks Commission. The film showed moose, deer, elk, beaver, brnr, antelope, bald eagles. and other <'!nimals a nd fowl.-; which i nhabited th is country oerc.;" t/V) com ing· ot Ute w.n1t.<) man. It related ho'N <:he animals were killed for food a.nd for the sake of their f ur a.nrl skins. The land was cleared of t r ees, prairie grass, shrubs. and other vegetation, which prevents erosion to make room in order to grow crops. As the land was cleared, the wild animals, their food and shelter destroyed, gradu ally died of !;tarvation or moved to different regions. The large herds of bison which once overran our great prairies are now a lmost extinct. The civilian. conservation corps was organized t o plant vegetation, build water checks in gulleys, and protect forests to help prevent erosion. They also establlsh natural f eeding grounds for wild animals and wild fowl. The U. S. Department of Agr iculture is showing the farmers of America how to terrace their land and stripfarm to prevent erosion. All this ls being done to safeguard the future of our country and the generations to come.

Radiolinks Mystified
By Barry Light Bulb Is Demonstrated Demonstrating various electrical devices, Henry Barry of the University of Nebraska, explained their practical application in United States factories to members of the Radiolinks Monday, December 1. Mr. Barry, assisted by Joe Barker, mystified the members and guests with a supposedly edtlcated light bulb that seemed to cause phonographs to play and other strange occurrences but was simply explained as another miracle of radio beams. The relations to radio and current war tactics was stressed, a special photo-electric cell being used to transmit a message. Barry showed how by means of this inatrument a light ray carrying a :message could be received only by the intended receiver because anyone attempting to intercept the message would break the light beam and the message would be cut off. A strobotac, a widely used electric machine invented by a graduate of the University of Nebraska, and a photo-electric cell ball aorter were also exhibited. C. 0. Morrison, club sponsor, announced that his · radio operating class would be enlarged next semester because of the advantage11 of having training as an amateur radiocoperator in military aervlce and times of stress 1uch as now.
Variety· Show Is Enjoyed by Girls Great applause greeted the variety 11how which was given at the Girl Reserves meeting, Monday, December 2. The show started with Frances and Alene Babich vocalizing on "Trade Winds" and "Ferryboat Serenade" followed by Marilouise Broady doing a tap-dance. Twil& Walker gave a reading entitled . "Jane." "Lass with the Delic&te Air" ·was sung by Adelaide Kloepper. ''But I Didn't," a r"!tding, WB.8 pvl!'n hy Dorothy Reilley, Blanche Duchworth danced and GIOria Green .gave a tap-dance with a bit of baton twirling. Peggy Shelly concluded the program with a piano solo. The dolls, dressed by the Girl Reserves, were displayed. They will be given to the Community Toy shop. All girls were urged to take part in the "Hanging of the Greens" at the Y. W. c. A. December 5. The music committee sang "We Three Kings" as a part of the program of which all Lincoln Girl Reserve clubs took part,

Former Mun1mers President Addresses Sophomore Actors Speaking to the Mimes at their regular meeting, December 5, was Arthur Bailey '31, former president of Mummers. He was a member of the University Players and Kos.met Klub until he was graduated fro'm the University o! Nebraska in '35. and at present he has charge of radio work for the Chamber of Commerce. He is doing legal and historical research work, writes one-act plays for the radio, and is a member of the executive board at the Community theater. "I have come to talk to you about writing, not drama," Mr. Bailey began, "for in order to have a famous actress or actor, you must have something to make them famous." "There is a world of opportunity in the fieid of writing, and one should start now," the playwright urged. To an attentive audience he read one of his own composlttt>ns, a one-act play entitled "Tomorrow's Dawn." "Doggon' Practical," a.n original poem, concluded his program.

Live Model Next Weel{ Artists-To-Be Have Speaker With only two remaining meetings this semester, members of the art club decided. Thursday, December 5, to sketch from a Jiving model at their next meeting; therefore all members are urged to be present. As guest speaker, Charles Ashlock '26, window desig.n er for a local store, explained the essentials of attractive window displays and advertisement cards. He showed examples and explained the steps in setting up an advertisement for the newspapers. "Girls play a large part in trimming windows," he said, "for correct accessories and color combinations are very essential with any costume.'' Layout is the basis of all sign cards, with plenty of white space as second in importance. "If one is to succeed in sign card writing," he stated, "he must have speed anQ. lots Of it." Al sci .of primary advantage is to h ave an alphabet which one has mastered. Even though a person may not be a good penman, this is not an indication that he is unable to write sign cards. Mr. Ashlock said that nine times out of ten, persons desiring training in this line of work can learn most by actual experience, especially in a sign shop where speed is greatly stressed: "One can readily detect an amateur sign card writer from a professional as the former usually fusses around about the looks of his letters and it never enters his mind that his layout is as dense as a jungle." This. he brought out by examples of his own work actually done for his employer in contrast with drawings of the poorer types which he sketched on the blackboard. Bill Goggins, a Lincoln high student, also told of his recent employment in this same line of work. Bill ls . working mornings and attending school in the afternoon.

Boys See Picture On Steel Refining
In The Classes Of Lads, Lassie.~ At Lincoln High In Miss .E thel Beattie's fifth period Latin· 4 class, the students "once mote crossed the Rhine to invade Germany,'' with Caesar, on a model bridge which was of the same architecture as Caesar's original bridge. The Latin pupils were shown its sturdy construction. Ca:esal"s bridge was a quarter of a mile long and forty-feet in width. Caesar could have saved himself some trouble by crossing in boats, but the Roman people considered this undignified. Not counting the incidental breezes which almost invariably float in a classroom, 27,928,000, cubic feet of air pass through each average room daily every school year. And that is no estimate! Physiology pupils under the guidance of Miss Helene Scheme!, while struggling with these figures, discovered that a class of thirty students take into their lungs about one twenty-fifths of the amount of clean washed air, which was allotted them by architects Davis and Wilson. No danger of suffocation here. When Ralph Hansen told his history class that two equals one, they thought it wa:s a case of be" lieving only half. of what you hear, but by producing an algebraic eq uatiur1 on

How steel is blocked and shaped, both hot and cold, also melting of iron ore at the hea:t of 3,000 degrees fahren• heit wa.s depicted. Tests are taken during each step for finding the strength and quality of th!l metal. Inspectors are very strict and nothing leaves the mill that isn't perfect. Some of the scenes in the mines and blast furnaces were unusual and intricate shots, such as the actual blasting of rock in a mine.

How to care for the feet, how shoes should fit, why one should not wear high heels, and other interesting information has been collected by Mr. McMullen's classes for the past few days. If, when strolling down the halls some fine day, you hear Christmas carols, the tunes sounding familiar, but the words very unfamiliar, it is just the German classes singing their ChrilltI11as songs in German, unaccompanied.

Dr. Nels A. Bengston, dean of the new junior division at the _Uni· versity of Nebraska, spoke to the seniors in an assembly Wednesday, December 4, at 8:30. Dr. Bengston pointed out that in 1935 there were 75 million people in the United States and yet only 14 percent of .these people had completed their high school education. At the same time 5 percent of the adults could not r<>,ad nor write the English language. Dr. Bengston thert s11id, "Yet, once in a while we hear folks say there are too many people going to college." "The junior division's major job is to treat all incoming freshmen a.s individuals and give them a chance to g et personal advice from an adviser who knows all about their past records," he explained. There is no change in the entrance requirements although this persona.I advice is obtained th r o ugh "registration conferences ," that is conferences with an adviser. There should be at least three of these meetings during the semester, one before, and one after regis tration , and then one or more if possible during the semester. Slides were also shown explaining further how the work of the junior division is carried on.

What Has L.H.S. .'Nebraslia Is Been Doing in the Way of Sivimming? Tops' Says By Jean Hofacre.
Hernt Rohrig
With a large squad of ambitious sw immers working to improve form and spe:d, Lincoln h igh m ay well liope t o develop a not her c h amp ionship t eam and it would seem that ' the ' odds should be for this, considering past experiences. Way back in 1923 when, according t o records in the L inks, swim -
Rose Bowl; Dream To Happy Husker
ming was introduc.e d as a competitive sport. Lincoln managed to place . a close t hird in th e meet, , Central a nd T ech of Omaha t a king first and second place, respectively. I n 1924 while two men wer e all state, t h e team lost out in the meet. However, swimming was drawing m ore followers rapidly. 1925 marked a hec tic . season for th e splashers _who placed second a nd broke two r ecords at the st a t '.l tour n ament. In '26 t he best the Links could do was a third, but th ey were fast gaining a record as a formidable r iva l in prep circles. The 1927 tank season was t he most ambitious one in years. E ight · meets were scheduled in, the season that ended in second place in t h e sta te meet. 1928- Led by the famous gridiron star, Bernie Masterson, the red and b lack natat ors were again j inxed by Tech who h anded them their only defeats- in a duel meet a n d the s tate competition. 1929- another third place. 1931·- -Lincoln splash es held onto a third plac e in the state meet . 1932- Things were lookipg up. The present coach, Harry Kuklin, captained the se cond place winners in the state meet. "Pete" Hagelin, Univer sity of Nebraska coach, made h is appearance that y ear,. ' 33 was a red l etter year for t he Red and Bl ack boys. It m arked the ir fi rst stat e t itle.
'35 had the Links "sing ing the blues" a&:ain, but they pulled into a secon d place in the st ate meet won by T ech . ' 36- Anoth er second place in the sta te conclave. 1937- Red and Bla ck splashers broke Tech's w inn ing streak in a dual meet, but the Techsters won the state meet. 1938 --0ne defeat from Tech in t he state meet, however, the tables were turned in the dual m eet between the t wo team s and the Links won all other battles. And .the n 1940, c li m axi ng ·a season, t he Ku k l in b r illiant coached crew dunked Tec h to w in th e .s t ate m eet.
194.1-Anything can h appen, but one t hing is certain--whether they win or lose the swimming team will have caused a. lot of rival t eams a lot of worry.
"Rose Bowl," the words on ever ybody 's lips, seem only a dream to Herman Rohrig, for mer L . H. S. athlete, now backfield man for the University of Nebraska. "Words just can 't express what I think of .Nebraska going to the Rose Bowl," slat ed Hermie in a r ecent interview. " It's somethin g that h <J.ppe ns once in a million times. We know Nebraska is tops, and we're going out west to prove it to t hem," g rinned the back. "Harry Hopp and F orest Behm a re the most valuable players on t he team to my estimation. F orey is a leader among t he fellows and a good h ard tackle. Harry is a swell a ll round fellow," remarked the athlete, which shows the feelings and friendship between the rivals f or the left halfback position. "What team do you t hink was the toughest team you've ever played against in your college car eer ?H "Minnesota," was the definite answer to this qu estion. "In Minnesota they rnally teach the boys the fundamentals of f ootball, a nd they play a good, clean, rugged game. .I do believe w e could beat Minnesota if we p layed t hem again though . All w e needed wa s a game to our credit. W e h adn't playe.d a ny games at the t ime, and Minnesota had one to their credit ," answered Rohrig against the thud of basketba lls in t he universit y coliseum. "Of course; I get :i, thrill out of '.'~.rr~ring t h f: b " ll , h n t. it.'i< j ust as m uch fun putting on a good block for somebody else. That touchdown against Kan sas State was s upposed to be a ·pass to Francis, but the Kansas blocker was waiting to jump up and intercept the pass, and if he h a d h e would have been off for a touchdown, so I j ust ran with the ball instead. Glad I did t oo, a s that cine was for Harry," expla ined Rohrig. "I played foot ball under Stuart Baller at Lincoln high, and high school football teaches the fundamentals of the game. High school fellows a re a t times too young for this sport I believe, a nd they might g et injured so t hat their college football career may be hinder ed," he declared. "The toughest play ers I've ever opposed Vl.'ere Uremovich , tackle f rom India na, an d Stebbins, ba ck fie ld man from Pittsburg," stated the pla yer.

Naismith , of Springfield college in Massa chusetts accepted the challenge .t hat confron ted his class t o invent a game to fill the gap between ·f oot ball in t he fall, and baseball in the spring, a game that could be played in doors during the winter months. Dr. Naismith analyzed every game played in t hose days a nd found that au popular g ames w,ere played with a ball. Then he f ound t hat interesting games must have a goal, so he patterned a goal similar to the one used in ic·e hockey, the football goal being too big. The goals were a ttached to the . balconies, which were ten feet h igh and were made of ·Georgia peach baskets.

There were limited rules and as maity on a side as cared to play. The 18 youn g men in the class when the game was invented, liked it so well t hat others w ere at t racted by t heir enthusia sm and zest for the game. In a very short t ime there were as many as 150 player s reported on e.a ch side. The originator never dreamed of . restricting the nu m ber of players.

With the first scheduled game but two weeks distant, Coac;h R alph Beechner once more welded t he cutter, and reduced the squad to 12 men. T his was the final cut so t hat the boys now on the squad w ill .r epresent t he Red and Black for the '40 season. There will, however . be one more cu~ just before state tournament time. To date the whole squad has been looking exceptionally good considering the early season. The fast break has been getting most attention and u ndoubtedly serves as an indication. that L incoln high will have a fast moving ball club. A lthough no definite combination ' h as been decided upon, it seems tha t Wilkinson, Campbell a nd Wilson are fairly s ure to be s tarters. This leaves a guard and a forward position open and it 's a tossup as to who starts here. McArthur and Bloom have been alter pating the most at the guard post a nd Blazek and Cummings at the open forward post The center post h as caused no little worry because of the lack of an experienced replacemenL Both True and Cummings have been switched over for a shc;>t at it, but there is n ot hing definite as y et. The 12 boys still on the s quad are : a t forwards, Ca m pbell, Klci!'l, Blazek, Hall and Cummings; center, Wilkinson ; guards, Wilson, McAr thur, Bloom, Healy and Hyland. The team mana ger is Gordon Johnson.

By Lincoln High Group U the sound of dancing feet and the whirl of gay music drifts about the school one of these days, It ls very likely to be eight high school students in room 826, performing such blopd-t in g 1 i n g 11quare dances as ''Turkey ln the Straw" .and _the . _'.'._zyish Washerwoman" to muslc by Miss .,\lice Cole. Square dancing ls just one · new Idea discussed by C. 0. Morrison's leisure time oommitte,e in several meetings held recently. The latest meeting, held Thursday, was .ate tended by a student council delegation of Nancy Green and Jean · Austin. Eight to Demonstrate.
It was suggested that the group of eight come here to demonstrate the sport ·and serve as a nucleus for a larger group . .Other possi~ bilities brought to light were those of dances at noon, in afternoon and evening. The whole scheme is inspi.rP.d by reports ot successes of other like ventures, such as the article carried in the . December edition of Reader's Digest, telling of the activities of fiddle-and-caller advocate, Dr. Lloyd Shaw of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Shaw appeared in Lincoln at Grant Memorial hall in April of this year with a demonstration group Of Sixteen dancers. Quite a number of Lincolnites attended, m any participating. Shaw has traveled 50,000 miles in . the last two· years starting groups In schools a .n d other places. Morrison's committee also suggested such pastimes as Ring Toss and Chi.n ese Friends as spare time activities, apuaratus for which can be made in the shops.
Despite S~~w Drifts, Six Page Issue 11 a Reality Was it fate that made the snow drift so there would be no school Monday? At any rate .it came at a most opportune time, as what is of more use to lads around the Twenty-fift}l day of the twelfth month of the year then money acquired through shoveiing snow? But the sight of the dlifts was not sucn a joy. to Advocate staff members as their motto is, "Do or die-the paper must go to print." And the result of their "doing" down at the Journal print shop Monday afternoon is this six page issue. To finance .the extra two pages, staff members had to trudge the streets at "'umpty" degrees zero to reach the advertisers. "Putting pin money in the pockets of youths is not all the snow is good for, " says the wise man. Predicts he, "We Nebraskans must look ahead. Thi~ is going to be a bountiful wheat and corn year.·•
Alberty Tells Defense Part Lincoln High Preparing Men For Industries, As Our Part iu APmaIY.eDt
Christmas Greetings. To Pupils, Faculty The true meaning of Christmas is best defined in terms of giving and sharing. Fortunately money and materials are not prerequisites to the fullest enjoyments .which the Christmas affords . If a sense of gratitude and an expression of sincere thanks for our manifold blessings move us in the direction of "Peace on earth, good will toward men,'" this is a supreme gift to the needs of the world-it is the· essence of the Christmas Spirit. ~Merry Chri.stm:;.s
to all.
Sincerely, M. c. Lefler,
What part Lincoln high plays in preparing for ;national defense,
Superintendent of. Schools.
was disclosed by L. H. Alberty, director of vocational educe.tion and supervisor of industriai' arts, before the education and national defense committee of the superintendent's round table meeting at the board rooms, December 12. Mr. Alberty first explained the working of the trade industrial training program, in effect since 1921), which now is in charge of 97 classes aside from the army defense work held in "schools and places of industry," as Mr. Alberty put it, throughout Lincoln. "That is our regular program," said Mr. Alberty. "The national deftmse program is aside from that and wt: don't know how long it will last."
"God Bless Alllerlca" and "Thank God for America," are common expressions in these days . of war. We are thankfnl for the opportunities which are ours in this land of liberty. I am vitally concerned that you and I may do our part more perfectly than ever before to guarantee that our nation may be strong. By virtue of that strength let us lead the nations of the world toward a better life. In the spirit of this challenge to the best that is in us, I wish you a very Merry Christmas! O. H. Bimson, Assistant Superintendent of Schools.
I nsufficlent Equipment.
He mentioned that the courses now offered are metal trades, aviation repair and after mentioning the many classes subsidized under the Defense Act said, "About half · of the courses offered we do riot have any equipment for." However, mentioning the classes on schedule now, he said, "At Lincoln high in the basement we have welding facilities. We have had to borrow-but we'll soon be in position to set up more classes. We've begun electric and aircraft welding classes. A student must have had previous welding experience and fifty percent must be on relief rolls. We take the men on a probationary basis and try them out for two or three weeks." If the men progress they stay on for the allotted thirteen weeks of the· course. Government Pays Expenses.
The government pay s all costs of the program, instructor's salary and tools. The aim of this prog ram, Mr. Alberty said, is "to put men back to work who are now not at work, but who have had some previous training." Often, however , men join the classes who are deficient in certain parts of the business which they a re in, and . who, in order to progres s , must take schooling.
Morning Music For AU In the Auditorium Pupils who arrive between 8 :00 and 8:15 wishing to hea r music over the s ound system may take seats in the a uditorium. If more students wish tu hear music than the auditorium is able to take care of, another large room will be set as?de for this purpose. This plan will make it unnecessary for music to be s2nt to the roo;ns wh! ~h re'.,uested it. These rooms w:il be u:.:2d for study.
In a hurrying world filled with many activities and prohlems, may we pause this Christ mas long enough to appreciate the fundamental significance of the season. I wish for all members of Lincoln high a Christmas merry because we have not left out Christ and a New Year happy because it will be rich in mutual joys of friendships made and mA.intained. H.

·Representatives To Sponsor Amateur Hour
Alternates Get E.C.A. Points
· "What is this new amateur pro· gram the representatives are sponsoring?" several have inquired. "Who started It and when will it be held?" other have chimed in. "Amateur hour is entirely a pupil idea," Miss Esther Montgomery said as she started to answer the questions. "At a recent joint meeting of the student council, home room representatives and the committee of a hundred," she continued, "Mr. Mardis made the statement that there have been calls for more pupil participation in assemblies. Acting on this suggestion, Jack Tilton conceived the idea of an amateur hour. It will be given in an assembly during the first week following vacation." Program Experiment. y;,,,,. .~·=.,..-y-

experiment and wondered if the pupils wouid put it on successfully and if the audience would maintain a high standard of citizenship. Jack Tilton seems to think the answers to both of these questions will be yes. "This is a program for everybody and I 'm sure we will receive fine cooperation," Jack rema,rked. Application Blanks.
Pupils that have filled out application blanks to be in the amateur hour program will try out . tonight before a group of judges that will be helping Jack. Each act must be at least one minute long and not longer than five minutes. The student judges helping Jack will be Gloria Mardis, Marylee Tomlinson, Betty Jerner, Patsy Be~ker, Cliarles Taylor, Howard Hansen, Gayle Mehuron and Dorothy Browne. Faculty judges will be Miss Emma Beekmann, Mrs. Ruth Dodge, Hugh Rangeler, Miss Montgomery and Miss Elsie English. Jack's blue eyes twinkled when he said the program would be broadcasted to the rooms n ot seeing the A ssembly. "And after the program," he continued scratching his red hair, "every home room that didn't see the assembly will vote for the act they liked best"

Ex-Link Is Now The Forgotten Man ·" WhY hasn't Fred Metheny pl•yed In any of the Nebra11ka ~amea Ulla year?" MS been one of th• main topics Of conversation among the Nebraska football fallB here at Lincoln high. Metheny was All-State two years ago when he completed his third year of exceptional work on the gridiron here at Lincoln high. Everyone who had seen him play, had predicted that Fred would 1.llldoubtedly be a Big Six back. These things would have possi!Jly come true if it had not been for just one thing. Fred didn't play football this year. There. is a very simple explanation for this. Metheny fills the quarterback's position, but it happened that Nebraska had two major letter quarterbacks this year, George "Bus'.' Knight, and Roy Petsch. Therefore Fred would not be able to make more than a minor letter and possibly not even that as it requirees 60 minutes to play for a minor. Also, it is very seldom that a sophomore gets to play in the starting lineup at all. Even though Metheny did not get to play this year, he wil! have plenty of time to make up for that one year, so Nebraska fans may expect to see a lot of No. 36 in the next three years.
L.H.S. Student Receives Letter From Encampee A letter from the Philippine Islands, from Raymond L. Tripp of Colorado who is in the National Guards, was received by Ola Mae Rush, junior of Lincoln high school. The country is described as wonderful and he said that he wishes people here could see that side of the world themselves, to see how beautiful it is. Raymond also said that all they hear is war with Japan. There are underground sleeping quarters and the men can take showers there. The boys do not have t o work in the kitchens, shine their shoes or make their beds, as this is all done by the Filipinos. This costs the boys only two dollars a month. It takes about a month for a letter from Lincoln , Nebrasl<:a, to get there by boat and costs fiftynine cents. It takes about 14 ·days and costs one dollar by air mail. The boys have been working very hard, training and drillin g. During Christmas the National Guards get ten days leave to go to Manila. Raymond has seen wild monkeys , lizards, two and one-ha!f feet Jong. and snakes, thirty-six feet lonl?".

China for the last year, visited 85 ·of the 105 universities in China. Adverse Conditions Exist. There are 45,000 students studying at China's .much dilapidated universities, which were at one time as nice or better than here. All have experienced bombings and some have moved, for comparison, as far as from Montreal. Canada, to Houston, Texas. Students are living under very difficult conditions, some in mud huts, eating unpoilshed rice and very little meat, with one sleeping blanket, no mosquito netting, no electric light and oil Is rationed very closely. More than 60 percent of students at one school, ' have tuberculosis. Greetings Sent. A Chinese student asked Mr. Moritz to give the Japanese students their best wishes and say that they were fighting only the Japanese military machine and not the Japanese people. Though 60 million Chinese have been made homeless by the war, they have ·still hopes of some day uniting with the Japanese for the betterment of the world. Moritz, in an int€rview with . ChanK K<li '~hek, IU'ked him why ; the Chinese :>tudents weren- ~ required to take up arms and help hold back the invaders and he replied, "The students are staying in college so that they will be capable to lead their country in the future." This meeting concluded the World Service drive started m September. All Lincoln chapters were present to see the finish of the mile-of-pennies. All the money which has been contributed by Lincoln Hi-Y members will go lo the Chinese refugees. John Goe gave devoitions, his theme being "So You Think You Have Troubles?" The meeting was concluded by everyone joining together on the old Christmas hyinn "Silent Night."

'.Americans Greet Holidays As Europeans Suffer Giving and rece1vmg gifts, taking vacations and seeing old friends are some of the experiences brought on by the coming of Christmas. 0 ver all the country, D ad will be getting out his red flannels to play Santa Claus for the children ~md millions of gifts will exchanged by the elders. In these happy and jolly times, a person living securely and unmolested in the United States sel dom comes to realize his luck in living under the guiding hand of Uncle Sam. In Eurepe where t he Greeks al'e stradiiy pushing back Italians, and the battles between England and Germany become bloodier everyday, there will be little time for rejoicing at Christmas t ime. Maybe a small pnrty will b e held by some of the gayer people in a bomb shelter, or a poor lonely sou] will creep into a secluded part of a still s tanding church and pray to the Almighty for the d eliverance of victory and quick p eace. Here in Nebraska everybody h as liad one Christmas gift given to him already that being · the invitation of its uni versity foot ball team going to the Rose Bowl. Though there arc many who will not receive gifts, they are free to do and say as they ple;1se. They are t hankful that the opportunity is given for b~ys to compete in sports to show th eir ability rather than i,n a battle of gLms and tanks. ' So on Christmas morning w11en we are opening our gifts or during the evei1ing meal, why couldn't we take time out a11d pray a little for the wonderful condit ion under which we live and for the unfortunate people across the sea 1 0
Flag Stands by America In Want and Prosperity Patriotism! We hear the word everyday. But do we. really know what it means. W ell, I '11 tell you, maybe you don't know who 1 am. You see me in your schoolrooms, hanging limply on a wooden°stick, you see me in par ades marching proudly at the head of a column of men, or sometimes you sec me tattered and torn, dirty and faded. Yes, I'm the flag, or "Old Glory" as most of you k now me. I can tell you most anything you want to know about America and its progre::;s. I was with Washington. at Valley Forge, I w as with Grant at Bull Run. I saw Custer make his last stand, I was with the doughboys in F r an ce at Chateau Thierry, the Marne and the battle of t he Somme. Admiral Byrd dropped m e on the south pole claiming this territory for the United States. I was with Dr. W alter Reed when he cured and prevented malaria a nd yellow-fever in Panama and Cub a. I have seen great cities erected and then d estroyed overnight by fire. I have seen m en t?:O crazy ov~r gold, oil, a.nd other riches. I h ave been with America in want, farP.i.ne,. inflation and in prosperity. I h ave s ee;1 America rise to supremacy in every field above other nations of the world. Yes, I was there, I saw this and much more. While other countries are t earing at each other 's throats like somethin g suddenly gone inad for power and supremacy, America n eeds to stand firm against all outside oppression, whether it comes in the form of propag anda or sabotage. You have a country that is worth fighting for if you need, you have a country that has stood by your gen eration and will continue to stand by you and your children 's children. So when America calls u pon you for some small favor or duty, no matter how little or big it may be, answer, "America, I'm ready." That's patriot ism!

lee Hockey Proposed Sport For Lincoln
Skiing Club Sponsored by Franklin High
To the Editor: Lincoln high school has about as many sports to offer as any school l know of, but there is one sport which we could and should have. That is ice hockey. Some say the season is too short ; others say we don't have the facilities for organized hockey, but l say in return, how about the unorganized hockey games that are played on every body of ice in this vicinity? Mate:ial is plentifulw. There are hundreds of boys in this and other schools who thrill to the spills and chills of the fastest sport of all. If we can get one of our coaches to take this idea under his wing and develop it, we may be able to make something of it. At first we could play interclass g ames here at L. H. S.; if other schools take it up we might play interschool games. Omaha has started a Junior association ot hockey teams and if we have as good ice here this year as last for practice and playing, we might work out some intercity games with Omaha. I know there are many other f ellows in Lincoln high who feel the same as I, so to you I say, get behind the ball and give a shov• and maybe we can start tire ball rolling. And if some of the r est of you have ideas, let's have them. EARL GRADY.
Whether you pronounce it ski or she it's really all the same sport. In Lincoln there's really little chance to use it but the Franklin high school, Seattle, Washin€:"ton, has a ski club that was aided by the P. T. A., reported the F ranklin Tolo. The Coyote Journal relates at t he Phoenix Union high school, Phoenix, Arizona, the pep club is selling white sweaters with a red coyote above the left. jacket and others are red with black coyote emblems. These are not the pep club sweaters, but just school sweaters to help advertise the school. An official high school flag contest is also being carried on at Pe~ oria · high school, according to the Peoria Opinion. _ Gee, girls, wouldn't it be swell if our home room r epresentatives could sell pictures of our football and basketball heroes as they do at Wichita high school East for the whole sum of one thin dime? At Roosevelt high school, Ypsilonti, Michigan, the student council has a record request box on the bulletin board for students to drop their request of record!! to be played on their P. A. system, reports the Rough Rider. Penny dances during the noon hour are sponsored by the athletic association, the student council and the Pioneer staff four days a week at Juneau high school, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Students Guilty of Many Accidents Caused by Speed
Boyhood Dreams Become Reality For Ambitious 'Hook And Ladder Man' J ohn B. Kempkes, fireman at s tation 3 located on Twenty-third and 0, was one of the hundreds of boys that fulfilled his dream of becoming a fireman. He entered the service ten years ago and has been in the company ever since. "Passing a physical examination," said 1-fr. Kempkes, "is the only requirement for entry into this field and we receive training after we are in." Firemen a re taught first aid, saving lives and property, tying knots, putting up ladders, jumping into nets, and other essentials· of fire fighting. "There a re 104 firemen in Lincoln, and 16 at station 3," stated Mr. Kempkes. "The city has 7 stations which is not a sufficient number." "Each station has its own district which is the surrounding ter· ritory,'' continued Mr. Kempkes. "When the number is called it is received at headquarters, the address is given and then relayed to the station in t hatt district. If this company is out on anoth.:r call, all the other station::: h .uuw l" ana. are listening in and the station nearest this vicinity takes· the call." In a year, one station averages two calls a day. The department does not r eceive many false alarms, but the. majority of those that do come in are sent by college and high school students playing pranks. When asked how Jong it takes the men to get on the trucks and out of the station, Mr. Kempkes replied, "The men get out in about
The majority or accidents in Lincoln are caused by high school and university students according to Lieutenant J. Paul Shively. When asked which of the two groups are mostly responsible, he replied that it runs about half and half. He also st ated that speeding was the most common violation that students between the ages of sixteen and twent y-four make. "I fe el that parking meters are a partial solution to the parking problems in Lincoln. Becaus!! of the automatic clock · in the m·e ter, better enforcement of the parking laws is made possible. Over-parking is the most common violation of the people as a whole," said Lieutenant Shiveiy. The bro?.dcasts conducted each day by Lieutenant Shively and Sergeant Hurd over KFOR at 4:45 are believed to make the listening public more traffic conscious and in this way t end to reduce accidents. The program is called "Traffic Forum." Lincoln has much better reporting of traffic accidents than many cities of its size according to Mr. Shively. In explaining t his, he said, that some cities do not report accidenis, unless the charges amount to $50 or more, Omaha being one of t hese cities. He al so said that Lincoln has no more, if not fewer accidents than other cities of its size. "Until it is almost saturated with traffic officers, the new Tenth Street highway may be somewhat of a speedway. When people realize that they can drive "Crime certainly does not pay," no faster on this street than on was the old but ever true state· any other, they will drive the ment of Thomas J. Glennon, prison same speed on Tenth street as guard at the Nebraska state penithey do on any other street," t entiary. prophesied Lieutenant Shively.

In the day they are lounging all over the building and it takes them longer than at night." "The biggest fire I have ever encountered," r eplied Mr. Kempl)_es, "was the Yost Lumber Company fire in 1938. That fire was so intense that it scorched the paint on the trucks and the paint on the houses across the street. The man had to t urn water on each other in order to keep going. This is called a 'second alarm' fire." Firemen have to buy their own uniforms, including boots and night clothes, which cost them about $75. They furnish their own bed clothes and two meals a day. When they come in the morning, they ·hang their coat, helmet, and boots on the truck and then each has his own housework to do. They clean the kitchen, bedrooms and truck and have to be through by 10 :30 a. m. After that t hey lounge around playing cards, checkers or reading. Every two weeks they havP. a drill or test on knot tying and first aid. " A fi1 •, 1n an h as many outside duties to perform," concluded Mr. Kempkes. "On our off days we have to study streets, locate fire hydrants, and take inspection tours. These tours take· in the business sections twice a year and schools once .a month. Most f ires are caused by pure carelessness and these inspections are necessary. We are also called to police at parades and teac~1 boy scouts knot tying and go to many other inter esting meetings and social gatherings which keep us busy."
The Process of Becoming a Prisoner As Told by Prison Guard T.J.Glennon
ap-
"The prisoners do not like the guards," Mr. Glennon said, "but they will do anything for each other, even after they are out of the penitentiary." Many fine jobs are obtained by ex-convicts, through recommendat ion of the warden and the guards. People who have served their time are allowed. to vote; they a re allowed all the privileges of an American citizen, except, they cannot join the army." When asked the best organization for the prevention of crime, Mr. Glennon responded, "The F. B. I:, by all means." "Unhappy homes, parents separated by death or divorce, is t he main cause of boys going wrong," Mr. Glennon concluded.
Nron Dance Doesn't Merit Existing Conduct "Out of the way!" Oh, I beg your pardon," "That's perfectly allright, I walk on them too," are .only a few of the ·r emark8 heal'.d while plowing one's way into the gymnasium at noon, now that it has been opened for dancing. What's the mat ter, pupils, are we too bashful to get out there and cut some fancy capers or do we just delight in cluttering up the doorways so those who should happen to want to dance will be so dis• abled by the time they get in that they couldn't dance if they wanted, too? This noon dance is still in ex· perimental form. Why don't We all dance and make it a success, so it may be continued. This is another of the many services the .student council gives throughout the school to make school lif e more interesting for us.
Nebraska's Grid Squad Sprinkled With Ex-Links Lincoln high will be well rep· resented when the University of Nebraska meets Stanford in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, January 1. Forrest Behm, '36,. has already been chosen on three different allBig Six teams for the first-team, right tackle position. He saw little play until his senior year. Robert Ludwick, '37, has been adding to his already famous work on the gridiron at the end position. At Lincoln high, he was all-state. Fred Meler, '37, will be present at center. He was on the Lincoln high team only his senior year. Ed Schwartzkopf, '37, is at left g uard on Nebraska's starting lineup. ·He was a first-string guard his sophomore year and has started every game this year. This . honor of being on the first eleven is usually given only to seniors
Pupil Conception Of Lunch Time At Lincoln High A mental bell rings in the heads of the science students at 11 :15 A. M. and the multitudes on the f ourth floor seep through the buil<;Iing carrying lunch boxes, sacks of lunch, or happily jingling money with which to buy their food. Some · are stopped by the savory odors of delicious delectables in the cafeteria, while oth-· ers t ravel to more distant haunta t o devour their mid-day morselsfirst lunch hour. In rhythm to the steady beat of five minute lunch period, shouta of la ughter and gayety keep time with the third period rush for vitamins. "Time to put on the old feedbag," says one, while another jokingly, "Shoot the sack to me, Jack." Time to see old friends which have been missed during the passing of a period. Maybe t ime to make new friends who. are engrossed in the same general pleas· ure- food. On through the building the time wave flies~third floor, second floor, first floor, swooping to the ground- until the addition leaves its books in order to revitaliz~.
The weary tramp to return t o studies takes its toll of Jaggers, and maybe one or two scientists will ascend. the fourth floor stairs, only to find that the others survived the climb before. Meanwhile two-thirds of the building has received its supply of calories--how many? hundreds of thousands of them, a good guess.

Mrs. Fisher's Efficient Work Earns Credit Shining white drinking fountains and other such gleaming facilities. that add to the bea uty of the school, are due to the constant work of Mrs. Lillie Fisher, custodian. Mrs. Fisher has been with Lincoln high for the past 17 y ears, 1tarting in 1923. H er regular dutiea are cleaning the lavatories. Qi-inking fountains and Cleaning and dustin.e- the f urniture. Bet hours of work are from 'i :30 "- ~ tQ 4:30 p. m.
Assuming your position as a number 1 BB fan at the first game of the season, you take on an air of "I know it all." After a beautiful set-up is completed you smile to yourself (a smile that shows all over outwardly, you hope). Then modestly you state to your nearest friend (on the other side of the bleachers) that that was the play you told so and so on the team and he must have told the coach about it. Our team is the best in the country. ·we have a fine bunch of boys and they know their stuff. (We just sunk the ole ball .•. using the play you had someone tell the coach about ... of course). But what's happened! That's what the people around you would like to know. For in the excitement you ji.imp up in the air, your old winter coat, the one you painted the barn in, flying up in the air and you grab someone · around her neck, knowing it's that cute little trick, hat off, that sits next to you. Oh, well-a good excuse to get a cquainted. After gathering up your belongings from all parts of the bleachers, floor, a nd person's laps you calmly sit down. With h orror you see from the corner of your eye the score board. The game is tied. What kind of team is this anyway? Why don't they use their heads? VVlly d oesn't thE' coach do something? The cute little trick next to you shyly as ks you if you're from Lincoln hig h school and you emphatically state, No! what, with a tea m like that, you wouldn't go to Lincoln high. The half. Your eyes wander around the floor and finally rest on the basket .. And suddenly you start, why, it ilm't a ba.sket at all; it has a hole in the bottom of it. Baskets don't have holes in the bottom of them. This thought brings to your mind the story about the grandmother that saw h er first basketball g ame and seeing that the b all always went through the basket she stood up and yelled, "Don't worry boys, I'll bring my needle and thread to the nex t game and sew up the hole for you." Second half has finally started. About time. You wonder what the coach told the boys during the half and . t hen get ready to watch a slow second ha lf. T his time you're quite wrong. The ha lf proves to ~•; fa;;t tmd furious and ends with Lincoln h igh :t'llt' iTl thA lead. Assuring the cute little "trick" next to you that you're from Lincoln high most assuredly, and we boys sme did play a wonderful game didn't we, you leave the g ym in high spirits.

will be unknown and untried, but the boys have really worked hard and are ready to go. "Beach"hopes for the best, but does not expect good results until later on in t he season, because of the lack of experience in the ranks. . Two chaps ·whom you will see again, this time on the first string , are Bob "Shorty" Campbell · and Ray "Lanky"- Wilkinson. "Shorty," as the girl hanging from the topmost girders will find ol)t, is the sharp shooter of all sharp shooters. "Lanky" can drop a ball throug h ·the hoop from his knees. Th en there are nine boys up from re· serves who really show great promise. Blazek HA II Cumming S Wil Kinson Kl E In True Camp Bell Hyl And Hea Ly Wi L son Corne on out Friday to our first game of the; season and show these boys and the r est of the team that we are behind . them. Go to it, boys! "How much will it cost?" "How many guys shall we take?" All these questions and many more are the ones being asked by m a ny pupils around Lincoln high ever since Nebraska got t he bid t o play in the Rose Bowl. But these are not the least of their worries-just when it seems that you have it all f igured out or you are sitting and dreaming of that t rip west and back, expenses paid and a s eat on t he 50 yard line as a r esult of that ticket stub you lJ.old in your hand, you suddenly awaken to find yourself asking the question, "Will the folks let me go ? " It's then that you know that you will have your ear up against a loudspeaker along with many of us on Ne\V Yen.r';i da y . .Did you know that Omaha South's basketball team ran all over Omaha Tech, 40-22, last week? We meet South later on in the .season. Stanley Coh en entered Lincoln high from Omaha Central. Active in all sports, Stan played on the Central football team which was beaten by Lincoln 6-0. Beatrice high has adopted the newly approved curved bank· boa rds. T hese new boards make basket shooting much easier. From a corner, shooting was quite difficult since the old type of boards hung Inside th e playing area. Due to this new type their shots are unhindered. A very promising sophomore by the n a me of Don McArthur. Don is 6 feet 2 inches t all, weighs 154, has blond curly hair and p lays an excellent game of tennis. It has finally happened . . . after a long wait t he ova:! dressi:'lg rooms have received six new mirrors. There are three mirrors for each s ide of the oval and each is two feet by five feet .. .. A lden "Eulace" King probably will bo out . the rest of th e s.emester because of heart trouble . .. . Now to do a lit tle predicting . , . . My forecast of this coming year's outstan din g player on the Red and Black first squad is Bob Campbell. Bob lettered last year but saw on ly limited service until the state tournament where h e helped pull t he McCook game out of the ice by potting one in the last minute. This year B ob has experience, speed and the eye. So w atch him go. Sev eral outstanding players on this year's team, less impressive a s it may seem, are being rewarded for t heir undying spirit to the R ed and Black, by placing on m a ny of the "honor teams" picked by the experts.

Wh en the custodia n opened a door, gushes of wind sw ept upon t hem, as if a giant e lectric fan had ·been turned on full blast. Aft er partially recovering from the shock, the class, accompanied by the ever blowing wind, descended a stairway until they wer e beneal:h the buildin g a nd then they started t o explore. The sound of their laug hter and exclamations float ed up through the air ventilators to some of t he other class rooms.

To prove "we" have or iginality, themes of American life are being str essed, especially pa triotic, South American and North American , with t he In dian idea noticeable. She proved the necessity of wearing a h a t by reading a short quotation from Emily P os t: "One should always wear a hat when on .the street."

Student's Correspondence Continued Although England Is Darkened by War
So You l{now Basketnall By Dorothy Browne Whrr, the referee blows t he whistle and t he game is started. . • • • but how ? The captain of the visiting team first gets his choice as to which goal his team shall go for. A member of each team (the coaches selection as to the best jumpe r or tallest p layer) then st eps up to or in t he two foot diameter circle in the center of the floor for the center jump. The referee throws the ball up into the air higher tha n either player can jump--the .players timing' themselves to jump and t a p t h e ba ll as it starts on its way do\\'n. '.!:'he ball may be t apped four times, twice by the jumpers a nd twice by other members of t he team. The jumpers must stay in their half of the two foot circle until the ball has been t apped or has hit the floor, There is an other circle (six . feet ill diameter) outside the two f oot circle and that also has a meaning . No other m ember of the t eam can come within that circle until t h e ball has been tapped, If this should happen it is a violation and the other t eam takes the ball out of bounds. Now the ga me is started. There are three (lbjectives in the ga me of bask etball (1) t o make as m any points for your side by moving t h e ba ll down t he court and throwing it through t he bas ket. (This is called a field goal, the pay being two points, ) (2 ) to keep the other team from making points and (3 ) to keep in p ossession of the ba ll. Each s ide has five players, t w o forwards, two guards a nd one center. The all have like r esponsibilities defensively, but the better offensive pla yer and scoring threat a man is t he better cont i:ibu tion he m a kes to the offensive side. ]<~our quar t ers of eight m inutes are played during a h igh s chool game, w ith a one minute res t bet ween the first ·a nd s econd and third and fourth quarters. Ther e is a ten m inute rest period between halves. Each team m a y also have five time out s. If rules are broken penalties are imposed, Over a held ba:Jl the referee tosses t he ball up for t wo players to jump for it, giving the other team a chance t o get t he ball. A violation will cause your s ide t o lose t he ball and the other side gain possession of it out of bnunds.

1-Ioopsters To Have New Suits For Opening Ga1ne Against Central Friday Grand Island, Hastings and Tech on Slate
Three Other Games Tc.i Be Played. Grand Island, Hastings and Omaha Tech follow with Tech and Hastings at home, while the squad takes trip to the Purples' stronghold. The Links should not forget that 12 to 0 football lacing that G. I. handed them this season plus the one point decision which the) lost at Grand Island last year, Home Vacation Schedule Good. With teams like Central, Tech and a speedy quintet such as Hastings has produced prniously all on deck, the fans will be doing well to bring themselves and their most powerful voices. The Lincoln starting five, although a mystery until on the floor, could easily see Bob Campbell and Darwin Blazek at the forward spots, "Shorty" Ray Wilkinson, center, and Cliff Wilson with Don McArthur at the guards.

Girls Sports Social dancing class is progressing rapidly under the direction of Miss Helen Jo Miller. So interested were the pupils in learning the steps that they forgot to watch the clock and danced over time. Accompanying the class is Margaret Shrader. Girls in the second period, Monday, Wednesday and Friday class rea lly take their basketbaH seriously, Winning every· game they h ave played, makes Ruth Hill's team the champions. Following close on their h eels are Betty Blitz's team, having won three games and lost one. Winners in Monday, Wednesday .and Friday first period deck tennis w ere the "Gunners" captained by Donna Todd who have w on five gam es and l o.st none. Cong r atulations. "Gunners ! " In the words of Miss Lillian Story herself, "Connie Pru~sia played a Rose B owl performance," · Friday, December J,3, making six basket s in 15 minutes t:l win a basketball game from the team of Leah Hassel. It was the f irst loss for Leah's team and her team is tied with Helen Kaiser's for first place. (Keep up the good work, Connie_) Each team will present a stunt as part of the Christmas program to be presented Friday, December 20, in all of the gym classes. Elected basketball leader at the G. A. A. meeting, December 12, was Lois Wilkinsen. Jane Laurence and Marylouise Kennedy were chosen to be the ping-pong lead. ers. Eunice Way was selected concessions manager. Tribute was paid to Jean Whe-
don who h ad charge of revising the constitution which was passed . a t the last meeting. At the n ext meeting there will be nominations for officers. Mrs. Santa Claus was the cent er of a ttraction at the party in the girl's gymnasium, which follow ed the meeting . A white ele. pha nt was brought by each girl and all were exchanged by Mrs. Santa Claus, characterized by J ane Lawrence. The afternoon was spent playing games. Members of the club performed. Those taking part were Betty N ye who sang; two tap dancers, Gloria Green and Jean Soul; Berthadean Blado, who gave a reading, and Pat Curry who played two piano solos. Tramp, tramp, tramp, the girls are marching, was the theme song of the G. A. A. girls, Saturday morning, December 7, .w hen they hiked out to Roberts' park. The girls are required to hike five miles, but they felt ambitious on Saturday and walked eight miles. Afterwards they didn't feel so en ergetic. There wa~• always a cold wind blowing to add to their discomfort. Figuring in the new constitution for the G. A . A ., written by Jean Whedon and revised by the board members, are table t ennis and rhyt hmic dancing. The new constitution, a consolidation of p r eviou.s old ones, makes the addition of table tennis to the list of games for which letters and emblems a re given. Another change made was the name of "modern'' dancing to "rhythmic''
as many previously confused it with social dancing. A ballot was ta.ken on the new "supreme Jaw" and it was :ll)cepted unanimously at the meeting Thursday, November 28. Jean Whedon was responsible for the consolidation, assisted by the members of the board consisting of · Miss Lillian E. Story and Miss ·Helen Jo Miller, advisers and U1e sponsors of ·the club, with Rose Marie Franklin, president, Stella Specht, Maxine Pettigrew.. Margaret Laune, Winifred Hall, D0nna Jean Hall, Virginia Lee Null. Be tty Nye, B etty McLeod, Shirley Brigham, Harriet Turner, Dot'is Scott and Fern Freeman helping with the revision.

All Drivers and Pedestrians Exercise Care for Safety National Safety week is by no means the only period of the year we drivers and pedestrians should take special care of our own lives and those of our fellow friends. Students of Lincoln high school who are privileged to have a car of their own or the use of the family car to drive to school should take special care when leaving after sch001. Students are rushing every which way a·n d are without thought of cars and drivers. It is equally important to exercise care fo driving while on the highway. It has been proved by careful tests that when going 30 miles an hour, it takes 73 feet in which to .stop the car-and that you think for 33 of those feet before you act, i. e., apply your brakes or collect your thoughts sufficiently to take whatever action is necessary to effect control. At 40, you think for ·45 feet and stop in 115. At 50 miles, 56 of the 165 feet required to stop are taken up with ' 'thinking time." At 60 miles, you think for 79 feet and stop after traveling 319 feet. It can easily be seen by these figures that any person who drives at a high rate of speed is taking his own life and the lives of others in his hands. The Oklahoma Gas & Electric Co. presents this "Food For 'l'hought." A Jive man pays 25 cents for a shave. It costs $5.00 to shave a dead man in the morgue. A woolen overcoat costs $40.00. A wooden one · costs $400.00. A taxi to the theatre costs $1.00 for a round trip. But one to the cemetery costs $10 for one way. Stay alive and save your money. · It's easy-Drive Carefully. Always remember no matter where you are, "Accidents don't happen; they are made.''
Definition of the E.C.A. Explained for Students In one of the recent issues of the Advocate there appeared a story in which it was stated that the student council was carefully considering counting an alternate as ~n E. C. A. Surprisingly enough, many pupils were not familiar with the abbreviation E. C. A. al).d of a class of 32 only one person was able to explain it. E. C. A. is the shortened form for extracurricular activities. These activities consist of council, home room · representative, class officer, Links board, Advocate, Scribe, debate team, play lead or minor, advertising manager, business property, and stage managel' of a play, Joy Night, football, basketball, track, basebal1, swimming, manager or trainer, Girl Reserve committee chairman and clubs. Each activity receives a certain amount of points and one person cannot have more than · 14 points or four activities at one time.

are particularly·important for those engaged in m1m eron1< aetivities to check, Mi the rules for taking up new a ctivities and dropping ol.d are strict.
Sportsmanship Means Good Winner and Graceful Loser Overheard at a recent basketball game was this remark by a gentleman, "When a foul is called on Lincoln high the students ' boo.' It appears that Lincoln can't take it." This statement was not made by a faculty member or by a pupil, but by a Lincoln high outsider- a fan! One can't go through life without occasionally taking a bump on the chin or. getting some pretty "raw" deals- not everything is h anded over on a silver platfor. It is like that saying, "You get a thorn with every rose .b ut aren't the roses sweet 1'' Players feel a certain glow when they feel that the school is behind them-win or lose. Their pride is even fuller when they p lay t he game fairly and like true sports. Hissing a bad play does not improve the play or the game. Players don't care for it and it only lowers an outsider's opinion of the school. Go to bai::ketball gamf>s, enjoy them to the fullest, cheer your loudest.

Pupils Have Taken Over Schools in Some Localities Self-reliance day has come again to the Thomas Jefferson high school in Council Bluffs, Iowa. On this special day the teachers of this school have a holiday and the students take over. A student is appointed in each class to act as teacher and continue with .the lesson, make up and giving tests. One student is chosen principal and he takes care of all the principal's regular duties, such as answering telephone calls, doing any kind of punishing, helping with checking absences and tardiness.

Two films, one depicting the training of men at Camp Ashland for the Nebraska Safety Patrol, and the ot her based on bicycle safety were shown a t an assembly sponsored by the student council last Wednesday. P er ry Branch, chairman of t he safety committee, introduced Corporal O. H . Witt who gave a running comment on the Ashland film as it was focused on the screen. He s t ressed the fact that safet y patrolmen are friends of every citizen, rather than an enemy who lurks behind sign-boards, waiting to jump on an unsuspecting driver. Following Joy Night, the student council will again sponsor a traffic school, conducted by Lieutenant Shively, in which st udents will be given an . opportunity to learn the sam e things which are taught down town.

"I think rela tions between pupils and teachers today are much better than they were 15 or 20 years ago.". These were the words of Mrs. Ruth Dodge, Lincoln high history teacher and chairman of the faculty citizenship committee. Mrs. Dodge said that one of the main reasons for this b etterment is that t he teachers themselve11 feel education has a more personal element than "just pounding a subj ect into the pupil's heads." Teachers in this day try to mold something into each student's life which w ill aid in future .years.

Miss Bishop Depicts Teacher Not as Tyrant With the premiere and all, there will doubtlessly come an increasing demand among all who have seen the f ilm, "Ch eers f or Miss Bishop," to read the book from which it was adapted, "Miss Bishop," by Bess Street er Aldrich, Nebraska author. It is dedicated to the teach ers of America. the screen version. or not . No matter h ow well a m ov ing picture is p roduced, th ere are certainly some losses as well as gains. Some of the mat chless phraseology is sacr ificed a nd something of the drama is lost. There is possibly something in the book for a person enrolled in school, that would help that person toward more friendly relations with ·those who teach him. "Miss Bishop" shows the teacher not as the "Tyrant of the classroom" as s ome have imagined her, but as a self sacrificing worker, labor ing for what she holds dear to her. It a lso s hows .her as a thoroughly human individual, making mistakes. having her share of the j oy anrl possibly more of her quota of t h e sorrow~ of this spher e, loving a nd being.

Open Forum To t he Editor: A.s a member of a newly appointed clean-up committee I was very glad t o see in the Open Forum of December 11 that Vernon Pettet is among those who wish to see our campus improved. Our committee a ppreciates his suggestions about putting up more "Please" signs and fences to pre· vent cutting across the grass. I have also noticed t hat the boys who ate their lunches in the oval before it. turned cold just t h r ew their empty sacks over the wall onto the campus. This makes our campus appear very unattrac· tive. If our committee placed waste cans around on the campus would ever yone put t heir sacks and candy wrappers in the cans? We have worked for some time on this problem of cleaning up in· side a nd outside of the building. If .a nyone ha s any good sugges· tions we will appreciate your tell· ing us. Remember, this is you r campus and your school .s o let's a.ll try to coopera t e in k eeping it attractive. Connie McBride.

Mexico bound during Christmal!I vacation were Miss Ellen Anderson, mathematic.q teacher , and her sister . They a r rived at Mexico City t h e da y before Christmas a nd had their Christmas dinner at a h acienda. In Mexico the Yuletide was spent like out Fourth of July, with fireworks. A pinata (a hollow centered con e draped with ribbons and colored tissue paper , the center filled with candy, nuts and all sorts of goodies), hung where the Mexican children would swing a club (similar to the ball bat) at it, attempting to break open this cone and dump the sweets on the floor. At this point a wild scramble for the treats took place. On the entertainment program were both Mexican and Indian dancers, a lon g w ith a gr oup of singers (somewhat like the cowboy of old ·Texas ). The gifts however are presented on J a nuary 6 instead of the night before or Chris t mas morning , a.,,q is the custom in the U nited Stat~s.

New Student Compares L.H.S.

"The school enrollment is a bout 2,600 and t he building itself is only a little smaller than Lincoln h igh. Their system of g rading is indi· cated by the letters A, B, C, D, and E. And t here are seven periods a day all being shorter t han t hose here," Faith explained, her brown eyes twinkling. Faith Ellen, in making· a com· parison of the two schools, noted that t he courses are very similar, only in Denver a larger field is offered. They have a school paper very m uch like ours in· size but which has no advertising and h as · more gossip columns. The clubs s uch as "D" club for letter men. the G. A.

They have junior and senior proms the latter of which Faith Ellen attended on December 14.
Faith Ellen said she was very much impressed by our sound sy:item and as a whole liked the school very much. Latest fashions, among the girl!! there are knee-high socks and flannel shirts.
Conservation Saves Soil -McMurtrey "AU wild lif e is dependent upon the land," declared M. S . Mc· Murtrey, Chief of the Biology Di· v1s1on in r egion seven of thoi Un ited States Soil Conservation Service. He went on by explaining that one would not go hunting on land that was barren but on land that wss w ell balanced by shrubs and trees . Also he a dcied, this was Li1e w ay .in which the government a,c quired game preserves. Land that .h as no economical value and ha11 some time previously been a bandoned as farm land is taken over by the government a nd plant ed in a good balance of shrubs and other vegetation. "Soil conservation," pointed 011t McMurtrey, ,;is keeping the g round covered. Sometimes the insect i; hamper this phase of soil conser vation by eating off the vegetation and In this manrier leaving t he ground unprotected. I n a normal insect year the birds k eep the crest (of insects) down." Enlarging on this point, h e elucidated that Bhrubs encou rage stopping of the birds in migration. These offer shelter and food for birds enroute t o other inhabitations . This is the p rinciple of the game preserve.
Vocational Play Is Heard By Seniors Five pupils took part In t he vocational play by Miss E lizabeth Barker's English 20 class, broadcasted over the sound system December 11, to the seniors. The cast inclu ded Bill Todd as announcer. Jennie Frazer as Anne ; Dor·o thy Tilton as Joan; Betty Schultz as Delores; and Don Rickey as Doug.

Art of Studying Should Be Mastered by All in High School, Says W. Bouivsma "Having already · learned to study intensively won't hurt anyone going tq any college, and especially to Harvard," was the declaration of William Bouwsma., Links winner of the Harvard acholarship. He is taking tl)e regula r arts and science course which is the only course for undergraduates. His studies include European history, philosophy, chemistry, French, and English composition and he states that he spends about ly hours a week m· outside study for his history course alone. When asked how good his high achoo! foundation was for Har var d work he replied, "I was surprised myself at how good it was, especially in French. Although I h ad o_nly two years of the language in high school, I was placed in a clasii which regularly requires more preparation. The only place where preparation fell short was in its emphasis on objective learning. Examinations here all involve es&ays requiring personalized trea tment of a set of facts, and their arrangement into an orderly series and general conclusion. Hig h achoo! only emphasized the facts. The relationship between them is far more important." William went on to explain that Harvard boasts of having no campus. Vividly describing the ivy-covered buildings, dormitories (some
of w hich are pre-revolutionary) and the narrow \Vinding one-way streets, he added, "If you t r y to find a place without a map in this part of t he coun t r y, you' r e lost ." "Almost three times as many students a pply for adm ission t o the . freshman class a s are admitted . One out of every five students here is on scholarship. Approxim ately one out of every four was valedictorian of his class, and the other three of the four have to rank very h igh," he added.

English Pupils Do 'Christmas Carol'
By
Jerry Mohler While Niepce could make images permanent on a photograph, his process w as not very successful. Da guerre, another Frenchma n, developed the fir st practical process. Upon hearing about Niepce he r equested to work in co-oper a tion w ith him. Much later an agreem ent w as signed to work for ten years to their mutual benefit. A f ter Niepce's d eath, D aguerre discarded h is methods and returned to the silver salts. In 1837 a company was formed to buy out the process for 200,000 francs. The company was i failure and Daguer re appealed to the French government for aid. The go v ernment gave Daguerre a life pension of 6,000 francs yearly, and one of 4,000 francs year ly, to Isidore Niepce, the deceased Nicpcc'~ sun, providing the inv ention be published wiihout patent, This pension was to be paid by France, "for the glory of endowing the world of science and art with one of the m os t surprising d i s c o v e r i e s that honor tbeir n a tive land." Come in and let u s help you with your photographic problems. J. G. Kretschmer & Co., 136 South 13th Str eet.

Life in Armv Told to Hi-Y .;
Buck Private· Roemer Says Army Schooling Superior to University " F or a great life with all t he t rimmings, the army' s t he place ," s tated Buck Private R oemer, in a n informal t alk on the life and worl> in the arm y to the Hi-Y club, W ednes d ay. J a nuar y 8. Roemer, who is a mem ber of t he forty -s eventh school squad r on at Randolph Field, is here on det ached ser vice study ing for his A. M. The schooling of t he army is far superior t o that of t h e uni versity is his opinion, because one su bject is studied at a tim e fo r ten days, eight hours- a day. Therefore s ubjects are not neglected for others. " Two years in college spent at Iowa stat e in the mechanical engineer ing course, was sufficient ed u cation for obta inin g entrance to become an army a.ir m echanic," asserted Mr. Roemer. He having been in the army four months is being pa.id 40 dollar111 a month besides receiving r oo m, board and schooling. The training ship to which he is assigned has 9 cylinders and about 400 horse power and cruises at around 200 miles per )lour. H e claims this is a ve ry slow ship. He has full charg e of . gasing, clea ning, fixing and anything else t o be done with h is ship except piloting it. Pictures of the N ebraska vs. Oklaho ma f ootball game wer e shown by U niversity of Nebraska t r a ck man at the December 18 meeting. Devotions on obligat ion were given by Ralph Sears. Grace was said by Charles Anderson.

MID-YEAR CONCERT Where? L. H. S. AUDITORIUM When?
Reserves Prepare For Battle Against Waverly And Teachers College During Next Week
One of the oddities of vacation is that everyone forgets about all that he knows, and I'm still very much in the fog.
But d igging
very deeply int o my Cranium J faintly recollect that we came out a little ahead of Mr. Even-Steven, a candidate from the low of aver• ages, winning 3 losing 2. Winning from Grand Island, Hastings and Tech the Links only show power in crusntng the Wild Cats of Hastings 41 to 23 .... The most inconsistent hooper so far this season
in one game is Ray
Wilkinson, he missed H in onf game ... . On the losing side · we were conquered by South ·and Central, a couple of Omaha schOois w ho were picked by the experts to finish 1 and 2 in the state tournament ... , This basketball is really an amasing game. Cent ral beat South by a fafrly large margin and beat the Red and Black quintet only .one point. Just · ~o make it really complicated, Lincoln was trimmed by South to the tune of 41 t o 25. Orchids and all that sor t of stuff to Cliff Wilson for ·his fine playing so far this season. No matter how many poillts the other team has~more or Jess t han Lincoln-:Cliff is a lways in there p itching with all h is might; I f a fellow on the other team drops a ball you can almost bet that it was Cliff who recovered it. Cliff has worked up from the s ophomore . team to the first string i.n less than t wo seasons. H e didn' t go out for basketball until his junior year ... Tom Hyland dropped from the team because of t oo many E. C. A. point.$.
LINKS
Making their second trip on the road, the Lincoln high squad faces t wo- strong rivals at S ioux City Janua r y 17 and 18. The invad· ing Links go on the court againilt East high of Sioux. Cit y Friday night and. a tougher quintet Sat -· u rday, when Sioux Central is the opponent . The result of ba ttles depend greatly whether Lincoln's hot-andcold f ive decides to play bask.etball for keeps or not. W ith a record so far of 3 wins and 2 losses, any• thing is a possibility. Reserves Face Waverly and Teachers College. The Lincoln second team con• tinu es its schedule. with Waverly on deck for Tuesday, Januar y 14, and Teachers college, January 17. The game is on the coliseum f loor, but Teachers college comes to Whittier gym. It's up t o the fighting bOys of Joe Toman to make a good showing over · the weekend.

MALCOLM ALLEN, Dorothy Browne, and Robert Bower, junior, senior and sophomore class presidents respectively. The camera caught the thr-ee newly-elected presidents just as they were apparently in a very jovial mood. Malcolm Allen (known as ·~Mick" to his intimate friends) seems to .be in the very ni,idBt of explaining something very funny. Malcolm is an arts and science atudent, studying to be a radio announcer or a journalist when he finishes school. After high school, be plans to attend the University of Nebraska. As is easily seen in the above picture, "Mick" apparently has .a very broad and oft used smile; which he modestly admitted he turns on when well pleased or when with a certain brunette. In the center Of the aoove picture i.i Lincoln high's well liked aenior president, Dorothy .Jean
Writers Elect Janice Marx
Browne. Also smiling · broadly, Dorothy Jean is probably very busy thinking of one of her "brainy" questions, which as everyone who knows her will admit, probably will stump the boys. However, she has some very high ambitions for the class of '41 senior party, which at present she admits arc "just mulling around in the back of her mind." An arts and science pupil, Dorothy Jean plans to attend the University of Nebraska after high school. She has many hobbies, but her favorite is swimming. Apparently deeper in thought, but still enjoying himself, is Bob Bowers, sophomore class president. Bob is an amiable young man, who aspires to, some day, be a forester. Also an arts and science student, Bob carries on the example set ··by the other presidents by choosing Nebraska .as his choice of universities. When questioned as to his preference of blonds or brunettes, he replied "blonds," and then hastily withdrew.
Material for Scribe, To Appear in May, Is Being Accepted

Members . of the club were praised for cooperating so well with the editors of last year's Scribe, and it was hoped that the same cooperation would .b e shown this year. Departing seniors, John Goe, Betty Schwarz and Betty Schultz were given certificates of "long and faithful service to the club." Johll Goe and Betty Schwarz reaponded .with speeches both praising and. criticizing the organization. The entertainment consisted of a .comedy d'arts satiring a dark, tragic, ·murder mystery, taking place "on a lonely deserted castle bi the moors of Scotland." The lines of this type of play are supposed to be made up as the play progresses and members . pf the "cast,"· Janice Marx, .Dorothy Lindberg,- Betty Hertzler, Irma Tyrrell; Hershell Webb and William Todd as well as the rest of the club, had, much fun trying to make up plots and lines. Betty Hertzler Completes Staff. Completing the Scribe staff for 1941, Betty Hertzler is announced as busineils· manager for this years book.

that some ralled it a farce and some called it a force were the outstanding points stressed by Dr. Edmund F. Miller in the service for Lincoln high's outgoing seniors, Sunday afternoon at ·the First Presbyterian church. Pointing out, that to many, life is a puzzle, Dr. Miller urged, "Those who ·are about to start a new cha pter in their life's history should accept their own situation and see what can be done about iL" Continuing, Dr. Miller stated "Great ideals · are acceptable in some instances but in many more cases, they merely lead to unhappiness, instead of their intended goal. A great host of average people are n eeded to do. task.s that are small and insignificant but gigantic in their results. "While nearly everyone at some time or another wants to do the dramatic, to, figuratively speaking, wave the flag in the middle of the stage, it is not these kinds of persons that the world particularly needs. Conscientious and responsible workers of a common type are the type needed," concluded Dr. Miller. ; The sermon was closed with this thought, "Common place duties are as hard and sometimes harder to perform than dramatic deeds, and the person who does them deserves a great deal of credit. It often takes more · grit and more nerve to play second fiddle than it does to be the whole show."

New Subject Offered Boys Popular Aviation Class Added As An Elective For Air Minded Pupils Although more than 80 boys signed up, only t wenty-four will be admit.l ed to the new elective science course titled "Introduction to the Science of Aviation" being presented for the first time next semester. This new course will cover such topics as theory of flight, strlic· ture and design, meteorology, navigation instruments, regulations on licensing · and certification, and a study Of VOCational opportunities in the field. The class , will meet third period. under the direction of M. B. Bobbitt and will .be open to any boy without prerequisite. "The course is in no sense a ground course which would substitute for the ground training offered by Civil Aeronautics Authority. It does not contemplate either vocational training of mechanics or any actual flight training for pilots," says a· bulletin sent out by H . C. Mardis. As the number allowed to .take this course is so limited, · preference will be given to upper classmen and to boys with some mathematics and physical science. Tl)e final choice although will probably be interest in aviation as a possible ·vocation.

Giles and Lefler Address Groups H. H. Giles of Ohio university, consultant on English and the arts, with four members of his Lincoln reception committee, M. C. Lefler, 0. H. Bimson, A . E . Folsom, Miss Elva McFie, and Mrs. Inez Boschult visited classes in. Lincoln high January 16. The occasion was Mr. Giles passing through this city on his return trip to the east from a California speaking engagement. Mr. Giles spoke to a general teachers meeting Thursday ~t Everett junior high and to the English teachers Friday at the board of education building. He told of the increased tendency to deal with life problems in the schools, of the improvement irt evaluation of individual progress, the importance of studying the success of graduates and showed how to make Uie school experience a more unified, related one. Lefler· Expresses Views. During the visit to high school, finding the first period journalism class discussing libel, Mr. Lefler took the occasion to express his views on · America and American democracy in relation to libel. "Button your lip when you feel inclined to say something cutting, it is probably libelous and it might be profane. I believe the development of vocabulary is a fine test of intellect," he continued. " There's the flag-just a bit of bunting, I suppose, but it signifies our country-and I'm going to try to appreciate it more every day of my life," he continued. "I believe the school exists to create a better understanding between everyone in the world-and the law of libel is a good thing to know."
~~cancer" Topic
Of Assemblies Dr. Frank L. Rector Warns Students Against Excessive Sun Bathing "Cancer," was the topic of Dr. Frank L. Rector of Evanston, Illinois, , at· assemblies last Friday. Doctor Rector not only gave his speeches to the "A" arid "B" assemblies but to physiology classes who were allowed to ask any questions .w hich may have troubled them. "I have an old fashioned idea that you are in school to learn something which you can use in later life,' he began. "Cancer is nothing new, human beings had it 3,000 years B. C." H e went on to say that although it is feared by m en it is not contagious, on e couldn't cat1,~h it any more than his neighbor's smile or the color of his eyes, and it can be cured only by X-ray and radium, or a surgical operation. He warned · all students against excessive sun bathing, which has proved a factor in development of skin cancers. "Cancer is nothing more than a growth of tissues, why, we can't tell in all cases," he said. "It is a wild, disorderly, uncbntrolled growth of cells." This, he said, is caused by a stimula tion which influences growth. According to Dr. Rector, cancer is curable, that is, if it is caught in early stages. "I! you think you have a cancer go see a reliable doctor, for 'quacks' wouldn't know a cancer if it were to come up that aisle," he said, as he pointed to the aisle. Pain, he warned, is the last stage of ·cancer and experienced early signs which should send one to his family doctor and recommended annual physical examinations. If there is any additional inforc mation students wish to know, there are books in the library on various phases of cancer and its problems.
Quota Club Offers Award R esembling after a fashion, the scholarship awarded Lincoln high girls each year by the Daughters of the American Revolution, is an award, sponsored by the Quota club, which will, in all probability commence this spring. The scholarship originally was tendered to university students as a Joan, but has been transfer red to the high school as a gift. Requirements are the same as that of the Daughters of the American Revolution, in that the girl must have a high citizenship as well as a high scholastic rating and should be partly, if not entirely self-supportmg.

Capital Building So Close-Yet Distant Driving, walking and bicycling to the capitol building last Monday and Tuesday mornings were Miss Helen Wilson's art appreciation classes. This trip is' managed once every semester in order to. study the beautiful .architecture of the State House. Miss Wilson was surprised to find that one-third of the class I had not been in some of the rooms and still more astonished that a few had not even b een inside the building!
First announcements of the annual student council sponsored gala fun night, Joy Night, were heard at the student council meeting last Wednesday. .

Youth's Physical Fitness Ties W. P. McDonald Up With Defense Program Tells Experiences Newspapers, magazines and radios every- With Local Pape1· where write of and tell of the necessity of preparations for defending o u r country through the production of armaments, munitions, airplane factories and enlarging our army. We must not let this necessity of preparing hundreds of thousands of men for war interrupt the encouragement of physical fitness among the students. Citizens must not forget that it is the nation that survives that" has a high degree of physical fitness among its people. It is still very much of a "survival of the fittest'' battle. Schools, youth organizations, and clubs with their athletic programs have succeeded in doing much for the physical fitness of the American youth. Here in our own school we have a fine program offering athletic oportunitics to every boy and girl. Each season of the year brings in a different sport, a new interest, a challenge to American youth to have a sound mind in a sound body. American youth will accept the challenge and do its part toward a national program of defense of the country with the ideals we all love so well.
Youth Administration Brings Hope to Thousands Enabling boys and girls to stay in school by providing real jobs on a part-time basis, the N. Y. A. is an aggressive attack on the· American youth . problem. Many persons are not familiar with the Kational Youth Administration, or how it affects the lives of certain Lincoln high students who are the silent, able helpers behind the machinery of the school. With an objective of placing the worker in a job which will be of greatest vocational value and personal interest, the N. Y. A. offers a real chance to t he worthv student who needs aid. There is the girl '~' ho assists in the office filing and recording. She has acquired valuable working habits on the job and learned responsibility and organization- things which are necessary for any jobholder. Rendering a service to the school by relieving some of the load carried by the custodial staff, the "clean-up campaigners" are those boys who assist the custodians. In the same way, the lunchroom workers prove their value, their duties rangi~g from cake-ieing to dish-washing. Many of these students find a new outlook with the feel of accomplishing a thing, like the boy who helped repair and paint the seats in the oval. He says he has also enjoyed what they call "vocational exploration," never having wielded a hammer before. With the remuneration whieh is p ay for conscientious effort, the student is ahle to huy hot school lunches, supplies for classes and . keep up appearances.
"I just had a natural inclination for photography and developed my interest in home photogr a phy gradually going into professional photography," began Wesley Patrick McDonald, staff photographer for the Lincoln St ar. He has been with this paper for the past four years, being the staff photographer for the last three years. Mr. McDonald does mostly news photography al though he d oes have several sidelines in his work which are pidures of animals and child por traiture. He has taken many pictu.res of this kind and is as skilled in this line as the news. "I have a Leica camera which I consider to be the best for news photography and I do recommend it for a ll kinds of photography. I develop all of my own pictures in the Star office where· I have the best in ·dark room equipment," continued Mr. McDonald. Mr. McDonald related his most unusual experience which happened one year ago last September. While he was taking a picture of a horse in the ring of the "Nebraska State Fair Horse Show" the horse fell on him, however. he luckily escaped injury. "Photography is the most hazardous branch of the army because the photographer is always a t the tail of the pla ne when taking shots of war scenes," stated Mr. McDonald. He said that the hazards of photogra phy all depend upon how ha z a rd o us the photographer makes it, those of fires and floods adding to the danger. He also said that in order to have the best of pictures, the photographer must be there almost before the incident happens.

Love for One's LQcker Mate Shown By Typical Repressive Reaction At school that day, the sunshine poured through the window and the custodian mopped it up the best he could. Such a horrible day, I thought, for a tragedy. It was all the fault of that gruesome figure , the locker-partner. When I opened the door of our abused locker , 14 of his heavy volumes from Greek h istor y to esthetic dancing fell on my unprotected cranium. Picking myself up and hurriedly clapping my bridge-work back into my mouth, I decided an ultimatum had to be issued. Therefore, I made a timid suggestion to him, uneasily fingering the crowbar held behind my back, that he clean out his half of the locker. He was an amiable chap in a repulsive sor t of way, and as he got down on his knees I watched him contentedly, no love light burning in my one good eye. His was a passion for disorder. The first layer he removed from the locker contained such knickknacks as a bicycle-tire pump, a box of soda crackers covered with fungoid growth f rom which myria ds of spores floated, ice skates, lost library books, and two dozen pairs of reeking gym-sax which would have been a joy t o any soil conservation agent.

Since the Suez Canal now play11 such a tremendous part in international politics, interest i.n Its creation and w orking becomes m:ore noticeable. Most Americans know the story of the American army exploits in building the Panama canal, but few know that DeLesseps, the engineer in charge of building the Suez canal, had alm ost an equal amount of trouble in digging the Egyptian ditch. There was heat in Africa as in Panama ; DeLesseps found no yellow jack but had to fight other tropical diseases. Instead of t he usual maddening calm of Panama, DeLesseps was plagued with desert wind storms of every variety. The engineers of Panina had the support of the .American people, but DeLesseps had to fight antagonism among his supporters and stupid incredulity a nd disbelief. Scientists at that time actually believed that water in the Indian ocea n was many feet higher than tha t of the Mediterranean and tried to persuade DeLesseps to call off his canal building scheme since they felt the Suez would ·let in wat er to flat Mediterranean ports! Yet DeLesseps somehow or other batter<'ct down such beliefs and as told in this book . built the canal which is one of the wonders, ;ind :i.lso milit>i ry objectives of the modern world.

Difficulties In Securing N eiv Setting Related By World Famous Author Mignon Good Eberhart, world famous author and former Lincoln woman wl10 now lives in Connecti.cut, described difficulties in securing a setting for her next book, "Speak No Evil," in a long dis tant interview with Betty Barbara Butler, senior. "'Speak No Evil,' was the book for which I had to go to Jam\J.ica, B. W. I. for the setting," Mrs. Eberhardt wrote. "This was because I had originally made the setting southern France and a fter the book was all finished I concl11ded that inasmuch as the setting said nothing of the war, it would be better t o put the story in a place where there was no war. It would have been very hard work to change the plot, and either a foreign country or an island was a bsolu tely necessary, so the n earest I could come to it was Jamaica. I had never been there and it seemed to fill the qualifications for the plot because it was some distance from the United States, thus invol ving a journey by sea and (which was also necessary) there are two cities in Jama ica about eig ht hours apart , if one drives. I flew to Jamaica, encountering a storm on the way which nearly scared me to death. There wa,s a hurricane on the island too, so as my husband, Alan Eberhart, and I toured lhe island we would have to stop at hotels a nd wa it awhi l~ while flooded roads were repaired.

pressed me most,'" was a statement m ade by Irvin S .. Cobb, humorist, journalist and actor, in a short interview with a Lincoln high pupil. "I have really enjoyed every minute of my stay here and I intend to come back soon." Cobb, who acted as master of ceremonies during the World Premiere of "Cheers for Miss B ishop," spoke during the dinner Tuesday evening a nd at the coliseum Tuesday morning. "The Rose Bowl game was one of the greatest games I have ever seen. I was in the 'Husker' stands, rooting for the great Nebraska team," he added. Cobb was interviewed just before he boarded a t rain taking celebrities to Omaha. He is well k nown for his humorous sayings and writings. Cobb became a reporter a t the age of 16 a nd at the age of 22 had his first book p ublished. He ·has since added acting and lecturing to his list of abilities. T o keep in cha.ra.cter with his 11.cting, Cob b neve r smiles, but he has such a nice personality that it is hard not to like him.
realize he appreciated their cooperation. I have just finished drawing my last cartoon for the Advocate. Bill Robinson, Turney Sharr ar, Roy Erickson and many others have come and gone. I will join them-come January 24. It has been fun searching my "skull" f or things (ideas) to shiver your timbers with laughter. You shivered-but not with laughter. I'm a queer duck, short (5'8 " ). I'm a Jong ways from being a Robert Taylor. In fact I'm not even handsome. I like "swing" but I hate dancing-sounds just like a "would be" cartoonist, doesn't it? Any success I have gained as an artist I owe to Misses Dana, Wilson, Farman and Mr. Mardis for their help and encouragement. Thanks ! Give t he "up-and-coming" Advocate cartoonists, Bob Wilson, etc., the support I h ave had from you and tbey can't go wrong. BI LL GOGGINS.
Advertising ls Necessary -T. C. Blood "A retail advertising course in senior high school serves to g ive practice knowledge to people plann ing to work in retail stores." This was the statement of Prof. T . C. Blood. P r ofessor Blood teaches a dvertising a t the University of Nebraska. To obtain his degrees he has attended Marquette, DePauw, Dartmouth and Northwestern u niversities. Professor Blood has taught In various schools, teaching Engllsh at Utah and De Pauw universities, and t eaching advertising at Wisconsin, Marquette and Nebraska universities. When asked if students could get a thorough enough training in high school for an a dvertising position h is reply was: "Students taking a two semester course in retail advertising may obtain enough knowledge of t he s ubject to enable them to go into the w ork withou t university training. For the first semester the principles of ;i.dvertising, including writing copy should be taught. Copy and layout, which would be a good i nt roduction to commercial advertising for art students, and second s emester subjects." An Advertising course may lead up to work for firms, stores a n d publications. National advertising, advertising products , requires university training, retail advertising, for firms or stores does not. It is possible to obtain work in firms or stores after taking advertising cour ses in high school. About six per cent of the university juniors and seniors take an advertising course.
New Officers Will Govern G. A. A. Voting in t h e girls' gymnasium last T hursday, t he members of G. A.

Retiring officers are Rose Marie Franklin, president; Jean Whedon, vice-president; Fern Freeman, secr etar y; Don na Hall, treasurer, and Maxine Pettigrew , recording secretary.
We· had a very nice time though and loved Jamaica. I changed the setting of the whole story to suit. " "Speak No Evil" was published serially this s umm er in the Ladies Home Journal. It is to be published as a book about February. The author used the same setting for a long short story or novelette; this was called "Strangers in Flight" and was in McCall's. "I was in New Orleans about a week or ten days for a setting. I I n h onor of the 10 A 's who will didn't have to stay there very l ong n ot be members of Mim es n ext because I had been there once besemester, Shirley Ann Hinds, fore and could remember a little p resident of t he club, presented about it from that a nd also in prethe out -going members with diparing material I found a wealth plomas at the Mimes' last meetof it in books and thus could read ing of the semester , January 16. a g reat deal about it.

GREETINGS COEDS!
Now that exams are over and almo~t forgotten, there will be lots a nd lots of time to think of those new things to start the new semester with. If your shoes arc a great problem to you, I'm sure you "\-\' ill find content in a pair of our new, saddle Domoc leather, canuius loafers. They afford the greatest comfort imaginable for school and sport wear, being made of a soft leather with no dressing or finish applied. Another outstanding advantage is that they require no polish. The only care they will need will be a gentle . cleaning with soap and water, later polished with a friction brush to bring back the gloss. These most practical shoes have leather soles and heels and are priced at only $3.95. It seems that not only an L . H . S. footba11 man has been attracted by a certa .i n Janet W. but also one of· Cathedral's grid -stars is now tramping that rocky road. Another clever article for your wardrobe is a cris p organdie, cotton batiste, or eyele t blouse. We have them in six smart styles, all of which are washable. Some have plain short sleeves and some have the short puff sleeves, tuck-in or waist band styJes. These delightfully springy blouses come in white, sizes 32-38 and are only $1.19-so inexpensive that you can have several of them. Remember, I will be in Rudge's second floor shop all day Satur day to show you these swell new things. Come in, I'll be looking for you. P . S.· So long seniors! But just because you au~ gr<1nuating don't forget we have lots of things for the well dressed college girl. FASHION FLOOR - THE SECOND

"I'm not a softie! 'Vhen I'm not working for somebody else, I'm working at home," "I'm not a hard worker, but I'm not a softie either ," "I don't think the youth of today are soft. I think that it is just that the kind of work is different from before.." These, and m any more, were the answers given by students to the question, "Do you think the youth of today is soft?" Several ani:v.iers, though , were :;imilar to this one: "I think that today, youth does have it too easy, because of labor saving devices." This question, asked with a group of other questions concerning work done by students during Christmas vacation. was included in. a survey formulated by one of Miss Sarah T. Muir's beginning news-writing classes. The survey was inspired by an article called "After School Work for Softies," which appeared in th.e January issue of the Reader' Digest. A total of 71 boys and 87 girls ·--from a sophomore home room, a junior home room, a senior class, and mixed classes-representing a favorable cross section of the school, answered the group of questions, anci many gave their comments on the article. Jobs done by studerits during vacation included everything from carrying packing cases to papering houses. with basement digging, truck and tractor driving, clerking, newspaper selling, and delivering, involved. Some girls did snow shoveling and clerking, while a few boys did housework · and took care of children. The most popular jobs for boys were, in their order of popularity, snow shoveling, carrying newspa-
pers, clerking in stores and h ousekeeping, with several odd jobs, such as, chores, taking care of children, and working in a church, store, or theater. Girls' jobs, in tne order of their popularity were, general housekeeping, church work, taking care of children, clerking, working in an office, and several girls shoveled snow and did farm chores . One girl. a soph omore, had full responsibility of home, seeing that the house was kept clean, "food was a plenty," and k eeping within the family budget. And she's been doing it . for a year! Another ambitious girl turned to car washing as a pastime. The boys seemed to be the profiteers, for about 1-\-li times as many boys as girls worked for money. This might be explained by the high total of housekeeping jobs done by girls, where most of the girls worked for some consideration other than pay. One girl, who received no pay for her work. commented, "I did it .becai1se I knew I was capable of doing it." An economical girl, who worked .f or pay said, "I a m planning to save enough to go to the university." The vote was 3 to 1 in favor of. youth is not soft, in the previously s tated question. Every sophomore questioned, definitely asserted that youth is not soft, while the juniors and seniors were quite even,Jy divided as to the conclusion of the question. Altogether, from the variety of jobs done during Christmas vacation, and the willingness of students to do them, a fair conclusion might be that the students of Lincoln high school ;nost certainly are not soft.

"How to apply for a job," was the topic of W. J . Cotter of the N ebraska State Employment bureau, who spoke . at a joint meeting of the business girls and home economics clubs, Janua ry 13. "When applying for a job, look on yourself as a salesman and sell yourself to your employer," he stated. Decide what you have to sell and distinguish yourself from somebody else, Mr. Cotter emphasized. In closing he remarked, "Call on as m any employers as you can and as often as possible, · as it is important to know how to m eet an employer, wha t to say and when to finish ." Furnishing the entertainment was Gladyce Eisenach who sang Carrie Jacobs Bond's "Just AWearyin' for You," accompanied by Elsa Weber. To serve as officers of business girls for next semester are: President, Betty Caldwell; vice-president, Gladys Eisenach; secretary, Elsa Weber; treasurer, Betty Shriner; editor, Marjorie Wagner.

way of cleaning the

The first team travels to Omaha for a return engagement with Central on Friday, January 24, and the next Friday, which is January 31, takes a trip to Crete where a atrong Cardinal five awaits them. The reserves meet Crete's seconds in the preliminary. The next opposition comes to Lincoln in the form of Chtlck Foelinger and his South high Packers' mates. The date is February 1 and the reserves will face Coach Mueller's sophomores for a second time. February 4 will find the Links at York and then back to tangle with Beatrice here Friday, February 7. The Beatrice reserves will be up against J oe Toman's boys. The following Tuesday, February 11, sees the Jackson Cardinals in action against the Beechnerites on the coliseum floor.

Howdy Gals! I realize you've had exams ever since last 'Wednesday and have one. again today. But I still advise finishing up on one last quizzer. And this one won't be nearly as hard as some you have ftad because I'm giving you all the answers. Question 1: What is the newest thin&" in skirts? Answer: The new irresistible spun rayon gabardine skirts. Ohla-la, just exquisite. In dark blue, a romance blue, a lilting pink and a flashing yellow, they're perfect for that new spring suit. No wardrobe would be" complete without one. Question 2: What is an excellent build-u1> for those "Down Days?" Answer: Like a fresh breeze, like Spring sunshine, the gay new Georgiana frock at GOLD'S ••• just what the doctor ordered for your between season spirits. Fashion winners all, they're dresses with originality . . . the kind that catch compliments, give you that well dressed feeling. Lead, feel gay ••• wear a new Georgiana these bleak days. Question 3. '\'Vhat is my last thought for this semester? Answer: I want to say thanks loads to all you girls (and boys) for coming up to see me. I hope "usuals" continue a.s such, ar.d you "seldoms" become ''ofteners." Thanks a.gain . And in th,i meantime, dont' foi·get, all next semester, third floor at GOLD'S. Their wardrobes are the last word,

North And Roosevelt Are First on Tap North Returns Here The Lincoln high tank team makes it~ debut Friday night against Roosevelt high at D es Moines, Ia., and follows this up with a meet Saturday with North of that city. This is the Links first meet with these out state l'chools and Coach K uklin and hi.s twelve man squad hope to start their season vict oriously. Both schools consistently p roduce teams . of high caliber. Lincoln fans will have a chance to see North in action in a return meet later in the season. Probable lineup is: Schlaebitz and Stew art, 40 yard free style; H einy and Waters or Emery, 100 breast; Marshall and Fenton, 100, back; H awkins and Ellis, 220 free style; Myers and Branch, 100 free style ; Marshall, Myers, Stewart and Branch, Heiny, Fenton and .Schlaebitz, medley; Mohr and White, diving.
Helen Becker Finds All Stports To Her Liking Where would b e a more appropriate place to find Helen Becker, winner of the girls' archery and swimming meet, than the girls' gymnasium? A veteran of six swimming meets, Helen won the last high school meet with a total of 14 points while her closest competitor had a total of 12 points. At the glamorous age of seven Helen made her neptune debut under the guidance of her mother, who taught her the basic fundamentals, but she really acquired her speed and form a:t a girls' camp and then Miss Lillian Story "put on the finishing touches." "Swimming is just a hobby. I have no intentions of making it my v ocation," was H e len's reply when asked if she was going to use her swimming professionally. The fast and graceful crawl is her favorite stroke while she doesn't care for diving at all. Swimming is not the only thing she likes to do, although it is her favorite sport.

Bruns, Beck and Lebsack were mainstays for the Reserves, while Danley was the player of the day, and personally attended to 5 of the 9 points for the teachers.

Mardis in glowing terms, they ag-reed, nevertheless, that if the classes were two small, they would unite in a larger class to study either Virgil or Cicero. However Mr. Mardis granted the request for two classes, and Miss Jesse B. Jury will have the Virgil class while Miss Ethel B. Beattie will have the "followers" of Cicero. The reason for the discord in the ranks of Cicero's readers was that Cicero wrote prose and Virgil wrote poetry, necessitating the study of different parts of Latin. the Virgil class is fondly hoping that Virgil's writings will seem easier,

THE ADVOCATE
Big Record For Incoming Sophomores to Uphold Welcome sophomores.
By now you have
~pably become accustomed to , the ways of
, our.>little community. You have been missing ~ stairways, and rooms, but now you feei somewhat sure of yourself. Remember we have traditions which have been planted years ago, and are now blossomed into full bloom. We feel sure that you will come to know these traditions and rules and stand by them through thick and thin. Our athletic records are something to be proud of. It isn't everyone who can say, "My school held the football championship for three straight years.'' In swimming, basketball, baseball, tennis and track, l1incoln high · also reigns. Our school paper, the Advocate, holds the All American national honor rating, Everybody is proud of all our accomplishments. · Everyone knows you will help in every way you can to try to uphold our record, So: Welcome Sophomores.
Advocate Welcomes New Sophomore Suggestions The Advocate staff all doff their hats and hair bows to welcome the incoming sophomores. Anxiously they await the criticism after .the first issue is spread across their skeptical faces. They hope-how they begthat the readers will get it off their chests, instead of holding the suggestions in a locked dungeon of their minds. Not only the Advocate staff ' but also the whole school is alwavs concerned that the ideas of the students b~ worked over until the; are worth something and then used. For th~ school in a democracy is serving that democracy best when the brains of all are accustomed to exercise for the improvement of the school and its life.

Where is the Italian fleet hiding out? Right in your own back yard, or, to be more specific, twothirds of it is on displ(ly in the windows of the Lincoln Telephone and Telegr~. company. Perhaps e had better explain: It is a minia ure navy, constructed by Ray Simmons, a sophomore. Besides the navy he has a few other models. Several of the models are aircraft carriers. The planes are onefourth of an inch in length and . have a wing span O'f five-sixteenths of an inch, The tail is about the size of a pin head and the pontoons are three-sbcteenths of an inch long, Pontoons, fuselage, and the tail are of toothpicks; the wings, of cardboard. The largest battleship is eight and one-half inches long and the smallest less than one-half inch. They are built on a scale of one inch for every thousand feet. Ray used a jigsaw to cut the parts from pinewood. Other materials used are pin!, beads, .22 shells,· sucker sticks, empty capsules and glue. The largest of the boats cost only two or three cents. The .boats are valuable from the standpoint of the amount of time and labor spent on them, The plans for the ships were taken from the Popular Science magazines and from the book "Jane's Fighting Ships,"
On Staying Out of Pen When dealing with money that isn't yours, remember, students, To return it. To k e e p it forever, my fine feathered friends, you must be the One who will earn it. To keep someone else's is a fed' ral offense, so keep it in Mind ; you must learn it. It is also a fed'ral offense, my boys, if you take it out and Burn it. Now I once had a friend, a wonderful friend, Who seemed like a real fine fellow, 'Til an officer caught him stealing: some dough, So the~, . put him away to mello· The mora> of this. is, to stay well and strong, You - 3t, w i t. h people deal "

L'il Leonard Say• Tilting a ·chair in the lunchroom Is one way of getting a seat. 'Til the rest of us learn to hurdle them, I guess we'll get nothing to eat. To the Editor: While I realize the large amount of work necessary to publish the handbook and that it is almost impossible to avoid making errors in such a publication, I should like to point out the error made in reference to G. A. A. letters. The system given is obsolete, as the Lincoln high G. A. A. has not been a member of the State League since 1935. I am sure any officer or sponsor of G. A. A. would have been very glad to supply the correct information had they been consulted. I believe the students, especially the new ones, are greatly indebted to the student council for their otherwise excellent work of revising the handbook. Eunice Way.
Snow Helps to Raise Pupil'a Financial Rating During the semester vacation two snow storms gave Lincoln boys, and girls, a chance to shovel sidewalks. Some swept only their own sidewalks while others scooped any sidewalk or drive that had a price on the removal of the snow. Many housewives, getting tired of answering doors, would put a sign in the window saying, "We don't want our walk shoveled." Many '.lore backs and wet feet were the result of all this heavy exerci~e. But many had some "chicken-feed." Ye.t, there were those who weren't so lucky as others and didn't get any walks to clean off and had Ufll)'

Boys Quintet Fight To Defend Rights In English Class Outnumbered six to one but they still fight on. That is the plight of the five boys who are the sole defenders of their sex ill Miss Winifred Mayhew's fifth pe· riod English 11 class.

These five boys will prove that, though outnumbered six to one, they can hold their own against the fairer sex.

Maybe I shouldn't try to shave for the first time tonight or I'll get my face all cut up. "I'd sure like to get my hands on the guy that made these stiff shirts and monkey collars. I wonder if Mom would care if I used a little of her 'Kiss Me Again' perfume? Hm, that smells good.

Wes Maser has actually gone with the same girl for more than three weeks, which is really something. They tell me that's usually as long as he can stand them. Maybe this is the real thing though! It really isn't a disgrace to have a black eye like Kay House's, but when you won't tell how you got it, then you begin to wonder how tough Roger O'Connell really is. Even if Johnny Jones is a very common name, he isn't such a common person after all. All the girls seem to be taking their turn in looking after him. Margaret Reese seems to be getting along very nicely at the present time. The surprise of the week! Have you noticed that llomer Tate has been combing his hair lately or trying to anyway. We will at least give him credit for trying. Where did Jackie Schaffer get the pin she has been wearing? We know it lsn't a family heirloom. Maybe we best find out who this secret admirer is. Could it date back as far as her Junior High School days?Could be. You've heard the story about the "Early Bird." Why don't you girls be Early Birds and come up to Simon's Third Floor and get your pastel colored skirts and sweaters, before someone beats you to them.

This question of "What to do during lunch h our?" has finally been solved by t he combined forces of the student council and the leisure committee. The leisure committee, headed by C. 0. Morrison, was organized to find things for pupils to do in their leisure t ime. Last year many Open Forum letters and notes were written to the student coun cil about the extra time during the lunch hour. Several teachers. Miss Helen Dunlap, G. Gilbert Rogers, Miss Marguerite Gundermann and Miss Doris Steeves, let their third period pupils last .semester bring games from home or else play games on t he blackboard. This idea worked so well that now more teachers have decided to adopt this idea. Games which are so chosen that boys and girls may enter in or drop out of them, without dis· rupting the activities. are being played in b_o th boys and g irls gynasiums. Nancy Green has gener a l charge of these a ctivities which Gordon Johnson and Betty Bintz supervise in the boys gymnasium. Wesley Maser and Nancy Green are in charge of the girls gymnasium a nd Bryce Alberty acts as instructor in the class rooms sh owing the pupils how to pla y the games. More games will he added as t he need for them arise.

Although limping with a bad leg, Bob Campbell, flashy forward, tallied 14 points to lead the Lin· coln high basketball team to a 34 to 25 victory over Crete there January 30. The lead changed back and forth in the first few minutes of play, but · then the Links began hitting the boo.£,. ',['he score at half time was \ 20-11! in favor of Lin.coin, and &e-cutcome was seldom · in doubt, however, at times c ·r ete had scoring spurts which threw scares into the Red and Black. Besides Campbell, Wilkinson and Blazek were outstanding for Lincoln, while Ziµiamachek arid Redman w ere the whole show for Crete.
Burning with the incentive that their small and brainy field general, Vecchio, was playing his last game for the Purple, Omaha Central literally dazzled on the home floor against the Lincoln team January 24. They hit 67 percent of their shots and were never threatened after the first quarter . winning, 42 to 23. The first quarter was slow· but after the second qua rter began the outcome was ne ver ·in doubt as the Metropolis team poured in shots from all angles. Outstanding player on the Central team could hardly be picked from this collection of "hot pants" warriors. Wilson a nd Bla zek were high point men for Lincoln with 6 apiece, while Cliff Wilson's floor pla y was outstanding. Grove f Vecc h io r-c Miller f Minarik c Hifferman c V osika g U rb a n g

The students are agreeable and always up on their toes." "We definitely feel that students in our curriculum having a latent interest in the distributive field, can through the co-operative program get an earlier expression of this interest," .he stated. "It is logical to presume that they will, then, more easily rise in the distributive field, than if they waited until after graduation to start learning retailing;'' The class of merchandising mathematics is so new in public schools that there is no textbook for the classes.

Aviators Debate Technical Point "What is the difference between incidence and the angle of attack of a_ wing?" This far from simple looking little question started quite a hot debate, iast week, in Millard D. Bobbitt's newly formed aviation science class. As most of the 24 enrolled in this class are familiar with the theory of flight, and all must have had some physics and mathematics, they knew what they were debating about and backed up their statements with physics laws. The class may build a windtunnel to test different type wing airfoils which they are now .studying. Later in the semester the class will have a few special speakers and already they ha.ve planned to visit the Lincoln fly· ing school.

In Failing, Student Wins More Important Prize A government official was investigating at the board of education building the school records of a certain bov whom be was consid· ering for a government job. His primary and junior high grades were encouraging. • "But what about high school?" he continued. l1focoln high reported first one fact he had failed in algebra. The local super~isor thought that the opportunity for the boy was gone. A failure in mathematics would prove he was not suited for the job. Then she was surprised for the official said: "Well, what did he do about it?'' Reaching for the phone, she called Lincoln high again. They replied that the student had taken his algebra over. Completing the course successfully, he went on to geometry for the full number of semesters. "Oh," the man said startlin.,.lv "'l'hat's all right. What we are interested in· is whether or not failures can stop him, or if he has enough persistence to go ahead and come out in the end." This incident is a powerful example of the requirements for success. Remember the old saying is still good to follow. ' "It ISll' . "t w Iieth · er you won or lost, but how you play the game." The lessons learned by trying will be of far more value than the actual success in the end.

Learning to CooperateEssential in Democracy Is cooperation an essential factor of democracy? Are the schools expected to foster it? Can the experience of working together for · the common good with no reward except the satis· fa~tions of doing the job be· accomplished in this school? Following are a few examples fl'om the Education· Policies Commission. Finding out safety hazards and promot. mg health were the purposes of some group projects in a "\Vaynesboro, Virginia, higi1 school. 'l'he groups were small and each had a definite task to accomplish. Fire extinguishers were checked with the result that some were placed in more accessible places. A bicycle club was started in the interests of safety for cyclists, pedestrians, and motorists. In co.o peration with the police a group was . studymg the speed of automobiles along a highway in front of the ·school. It's purpose was to help the police to determine speed limits and enforce them. In connection with health the members of the class were trying tO make t he schools ''health-conscio"?sness" greater by displaying posters, reportmg to home rooms on health matters and doing similar work in t heir' community.

New Licenses Issued Cyclists At Lincoln High
New Lincoln High Students Have Many Different Impressions of School
"You'll have to get a larger reflector. Better put some batteries in that light. Get that peddle fixed and br ing it back tomorrow." These were just a few of the comments heard in the auto mechanics shop Monday, February 10, as bicycle licenses· .were being issued and refused to t he various cyclists of Lincoln high. Bill Y m1e and his assistant, Melvin Crawford, here under the auspices of the Lincoln police department busily worked at t he task ot' checking the vehicles as they came thru fo rsuch things as a white light in front, a two inch reflector on the back and the general mechanical condition, using the applications filled out by the students some w eeks ago as a reference. New and shiny, old and decrepit, the bicycles rolled by in .a continuous stream, two or thr ee pupils waiting their turn while some fellow cyclist was being issued a license or told the reason tor refusal. The ffrst bicycle was r efused· ii license because of a broken peddle. The second person was a new pupil seeking information on equipment required on the bicycle, while the third one complained of incessant loss of reflectors. A light with n o batteries was th!! bad p oint of the fourth bicycle, bu t finally a fully equipped, well conditioned machine was passed and its owner issued the license and card on which were his name, license number and the manufacturer's number, which corresponds to a driver's license. The plates a r e riveted on. By use of a special dye, it is possible, if the plates are removed to recognize this fact at. a glance, making it very difficult f or a bicycle thief to repla ce plates on a stolen machine , "The use of license plates " s a id Yost, "ha.s helped m.ore in ~he recovery of stolen bicycles than in the preven tion of their theft."

The Soongs are the most interesting family of t he present day and are often called the Soong Six, ~cause of their influence in the government of modern China. "Three Sisters," by Cornelia Spencer is the intrig uing story of their lives. Madame Chiang -Kai-shek is the w ife of Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek, who leads the armies and is war-time dictator over the people. Tbe second sist er is the wif e of Dr. H . H. Kung, head of the Ch inese government, and the third, the widow of Sun Yat-sen, founder of the Chinese R epublic; The brothers are high in the financial control of China. These three girls attended the same college in America as their :father had. Charlie Soong, hoped that someday his children could do something to change and improve China, but he n ever dreamed that they would change it so completely . The story tells of their expe· riences in the U nited States while going to school and how t h ey used T his knowledge f or their f utur e work in China, Combine magic, . wizardy legends, myths, the most fantastic and wildest of tales a nd you h ave something compa rable to the story of radio and t elevision as t old in "Mag ic Dials" by Lowell Thomas. To those who like lots of pictures, this book w ill satisfy, as it is. f illed wtih many beautifully colored illustrations. Have you ever- wondered what to answer when asked the question, "Is tha t a good mov ie?" In "Let's Go to t he Movies" by William C. Pryor and H elen S. Pryor, _y ou can learn t h e il.nswer as h ow to judge a picture on in· telligent basis. It discusses many · phases of the movie industry including, dii:ection, ph otograph y, costumes, actors and the work of making and producing a mov ie.

Six Bit Words Gush Forth From Select Few "Debater,5 are the craziest people." This might be the consensus of opinion of the students at Lincoln high. A debater is one that t ravels about laden down with pamph lets and periodicals. Five or six syllable . words gush forth from his ever-open mouth. The city library or 317 serves as headquarters a nd here small groups gather to argue, hash and rehash defin i· tions, cases, etc. Each one lives for the next debate and incessantly talks about the last one. Arguments with tea chers and fellow students give the debater needed practice, especially the former. Debaters have too mueh to say and too. little time in which to say it. Debaters are a strange lot, but where would Lincoln high be w ithout strange people ?
New semester! New st udents ! U sually these exclamations are molded into one. The sophomores from t he j unior h igh s chools of L incoln are expect ed to appear the first day of a new sem ester, but, several pupils h a ve also enrolled from o ut-stat e and out-of-town. Hailing from Iowa, is Bette Lee Luckey, a · senior, ~ho was attend ing the Centerville high last semester as a 12B, and the preceding semester, N orth high at Omaha. ' 'Centerville high would fit in side of L. H. S. six t imes," she st a t ed. "It had a bask etball team that raced to victory in four state t ournaments for Iowa Sta t e. " L. H . S. is awfully big. I really had forgot t en how big a school could be after I left North," she exclaimed. "Music, football, and dancing a r e my favorite a ctivities," she .added. "Joy Night s ounds as if it will be .swell." She ca m e to Lincoln t o help her grandparents. F or t he . past 12 years she has v isited them , all t he t ime keeping her eye on L incoln high, 'lioping some day she might b e able to attend. ' 'My w ish is n ow f ulfilled," she concluded, "a nd I think L . H . S. is grand. Storming in from Chicago is Don Jones, a sophomore, who had been atten ding t he Senn high. "Senn high is twice as lar ge," he exclaimed. " It has a swing band , R. 0. T . C. which was ranked nint h in the state by federal insp ectors, perfect order in h alls, yea r rou nd activities a nd a swell school p a per," he added in one deep breath. In contr ast to the en try from Iowa , he assert ed, " L . H. S. seems very s m all. It is located m iles f r om nowhere and it is ver y dead. It has a crazy arrangement of periods, and no system of _law and order." Band, R. 0. T. C., model building, swimming, t rack, cooking, school a ctivitjes, d ances, new spa -
per and competitions with other schools are t he objects he is interested in . His t alents s eem to r un in the line of makin g mountains out of m ole h ills , and ·a lways w ant ing t o do s om ething a new way. (And us ually doing it.) His father is completing a m edical course at the Un iversity ot N ebrask a. A lso from out-of -state is P a tty Clay bough, a s enior, who attended Grand J unction h igh in Colorado, "Grand Junction high is a bout one-half the size of L . H. S.," she explained. " The basketba ll team is fair but the f ootball team is r a nked a s state champions. It is t he largest school on the western slope," sh e added. Her firs t impression of L. H. S. was, "I am afraid it will be hard to get acquainted in." ("It w as.") "It seem ed terribly large, but I k new after I once g ot around it would be swell," she explained. "Football, swim m ing , dan cing and basketba ll are m y favorite spor t s. Our only r eason for coming to Lincoln was t o find out what it is like because I plan t o enter the university here," she concluded. From Sew ard, Nebraska, comes Conn ie Pat Hintz, a sophomore. She is interest ed in amateur act ing and new spaper w ork . She came to Lincoln beca use a member of t he family is on t he Safety Patrol, and he w a s t ransfer red. Lois Jean M onteen, a senior , hails f r om Gothe nburg, Nebraska. "The s ch ool I last a ttended ha d 400 en rolled, and it had eight pe riods a d ay," sh e remark ed. "I think L. H . S. is very n ice, an d the stu dents are very friendly a nd cons iderat e ." From A urora, N ebraska, a new ent r y is D arlene Johnson, a junior "It has a sw ell football and bas k etball team ," she declared. L . H • S. is very la rge a nd there are s o many people," she concluaed.

Methods of Inducing Sleep Explained By L. H. S. J>rofessor of Shuteye when you should be asleep? If so, why don't you (this is not a n advertisement) try one of the various methods L incoln high pu" p it's use For instance. P a ul Schubach opens his windows and lies on t op of the covers until h e is cold and th<'n s lips under th(~ 11ice; W•Lrm bla nke ts. D oesn·t that make you (oh -hum ) sleepy? If you like to eat befor e you go to bed, try a "Dagwood" sandw ich as Max Fensler does. The girls must all h ave their beaut y sleep so ou r pr ospective "Heddy Lamarrs " or at least Lois Tucker uses the method of k issing h er m enagerie of stuffed t eddy bears before she goes to bed and then she can swiftly float off into ''Dreamland." Ardyce K a rgo doesn't have a menag erie of ani· mals, but h er blue p lush t eddy bear suits her fine. Elizabeth Ann Smaha repeats the w ords of songs silently a nd lullabys her· self to sleep. I don't , however, r ecomm end t his to any of you " gravel voice" Andy D evines, because you w ill probably have nightmares. Now, if y ou w ant to be a big, strong m an, take set ting -up exercises every n igh t as "Duke'.' E berh art does.

See Cabinet
At Worli Films Shown Of California Introduction of six new members of the Girl Reserves cabinet was carried on under the leadership of the president, Katherine (Kay) Rice, at the first meeting of the new semester on February 3. From the group at large, the committee chairmen of last semester picked out the newly chosen chairmen and escorted them to the stage in 326. Music committee is to be presided over by Ruth Vance, with Betty H eckel heading the service committee. A member of the social committee last semester, Roberta Collins, is now ready to take over her duties as chairman. Finance is to have its own chairman, Helen Detrich, and Adelaide Kloepper is the new publicity chairman, w hile Ruth Manion is to direct the activities of the membership commit. tee. Myra Colberg led t he worship service with a poem, "Come Lord Jesus." Mrs. Stebbins Speaks.
Virginia Stuermer introduced the guest, Mrs. Harold Stebbins, who before showing her film of the tournament of Roses a nd the Rose B_ o wl game, gave a short "pep" talk to get other girls interested in the club. Mrs. Stebbins stated, . "The Girl Reserves are just one big happy family and are junior m embers of the Y. W. C. A." Announcements were made of the membership tea which is to be held on F ebruar y 23, at 2:30 at the Y. W. C. A. R obe rta Collins also suggested that any Girl Reserves interested in org anizing a bowling team to compete with the Jackson and Havelock t eams ahould see h er for details.

Modern tendencies in schools and possible improvements in Lincoln schools were suggested by 0. H. Birrison at a special meeting of the school interpretation and publicity sector of the superintendent's round table a t the -South Administration building where he reported to a group of jun ior and senior high school student r eporters, Wednesday, February 5. Among the many points of interest he observed while visiting ninety different high schools throughout the United States last year was the core curriculum where the pupil remained with one teacher approximately one-half of a school da y. In this way pupils may follow up their certain interests and if any problems arise they may go to special class rooms to solve them. An interest ing form of evaluation of achievement was illustrat ed by card files used successfully in a school Dr. Bimson visited. On the file each pupil wrote what difficulty she encounter ed and how she m et it. A judgment of the pupil was passed by the majority of the class which was placed on file
B ecause its speaker went up in the air and wouldn't be down until after the meeting, the Lincoln Hi-Y club had a supper and a business meeting Wednesday, February 5, in the Hi-Y building. The speaker , Freder ick Katz, who is an instructor for Lincoln Flying school w as called to duty at the last minute and could· not be present. P lans were made for Joy Night and a bowlin g t eam was a rrang·ed to compete with a team from the Jackson Hi-Y club under the new president, Gilbert Ryder. Wayne Kingery gave devotions. The next meeting of the Hi-Y will be Wednesday, F ebruary 14, with the supper a t 6 :30 and the meeting at 7 :15 to which all boys are cordially invited.

Demonstration of r otary ant enna w as given by Louis F. Leuck to the Radiolinks in room 145 Monday afternoon. Starting with a single transmitting antenna consisting of two telescoping automobile receiving an tenna in a horizontal line, he added another set of rods about two feet behind t he first and not connected with it. This had the effect of a cting a s a reflector, and concentrating t he output of t he transmitter in a single direction. A short er rod placed in front of the transmitting antenna further increased the· directional ef fect . He explained that while broadcasting stations are usually interested in obta ining a circle coverage, the amateur and other short wave stations frequently want to concentrate all their power in one direction for maximum results. These arrays, a s they are called, are used to send in only one direction at a time, much like a s earch- . light. They are the type of antennas used . by European sta. tions to broadcast propaganda to the U nited States and South America._ Reflect bars aJso were shown tn i ncrea.i:ie the str P.n gth of the r e~ "iv ed "igna1 from

Unites Art With Life
Cartoons Used For Importance To get people acquainted with art and for them not to think it is something expensive and be afraid of, was one of the topics discussed by Miss Elva McFie, supervisor of art i.n the schools, at th_e a rt club meeting Thursday afternoon in room 129. "Art helps in display advert iseinents of all kinds," said Miss McFie when explaining how art is being used in daily life. She also r e lated t hat photography is an art and is becoming !mown as an a rt . Art is evident in almost everything we US€ . Life magazine carr ies a very good assortment every month. Others mentioned wer e Better Homes and Gardens and American Homes. Car toons pla y an important part in ex pressing ideas. The last subject discussed was how children become acquainted with art. When they are very young they express their desires and ideas most easily in drawing. Teachers are trying to g et a way from the 3R's of the old time school by letting pupils take part for the fun of it. Members of art club enjoyed seeing drawings by pupils in grade schools. The way the- children expressed their idea s was interesting and educational. They a r e also taught to use art to design cloth, paper and useful articles. All the members took part in the discussion. Roberta Buell presided over the meeting.

After a close first quarter that ended 8-5, the Links started pulling away and had a safe margin of 21-11 at halftime. McArthur was in rare form as he lead the team . scoring and was a ·big gun in the backcourt as well.

Most sophomores when they begin their first term think that they haven't a chance to get on a football or baseball team or into .a ny other sport activities. Sophomores, you have just as much cpance as anybody else and you should at least try out so we can have the best t eams possible. 1f you have ability, they will find a place for you and they will ret you play no matter what grade you are in. There are many sophomore boys who are good in sports but they just say, "Why should I try out ? I won't make the t eam.''
These boys should try out, and if all of them would, w_e . would probably have the best teams in the state. Remember boys, we need new talent for the footba!I team if we are to beat the new Northeast high school team. · Because only one team from each school is allowed to participate in tournaments, the Lincoln reserves didn't bave a chance _to displa·y their talents against Roca, SpPague-Martel, and other leading teams in the recent class B tournament. After the invasion of Fremont Friday, in which the Links axe heavy . favorites , they will make a second attempt to set back N orth high school of Des Moines .Saturday night in their own pool. Being defeated in their first meet by North high at Des Moines; Co.a ch Harry Kuklip's swimmers now have the experience of four meets, which is a great advantage. While whirling their batons, Lavon Dean, Gloria Green and Muriel Jenkins, did a much a.p· proved acrobatic dance, which was part of Lincoln high school's contribution to the entertainment
at the Lincoln vs. Jackson game. They danced to the melody of "Strike Up the Band," which was played by the L. H. S. band and ended dancing to the popular rhythm of "La Conga."

Joy · Nighters Improved Health Desired Result Of Campaigners Science Groups Hope To Rout Tuberculosis A campaign against a disease ·more deadly than war, tuberculosis, is now under way in Lincoln high school under the . auspices of the science department. By arousing interest through poster contests, movies and other educational means, the classes hope to bring about a better understanding of the · ,importance of knowing the danger of tuberculosis and its control, Jackson, College View, Greenwood and Ashland high schools have completed skin tests. Lincoln high has not had these skin tests for several years. There are no funds at present available to have these Mantoux tests taken in Lincoln high school. The science classes hope that some means might be found where skin testing could be made possible before another five years go by. Dates Chosen for Contests. February 26 marks the opening
date of the first poster contest on tuberculosis which will run to Ma.rch 5. The second contest will start March 5 and end · March 12. The posters are to be made on stiff eardboard, one side of which is smooth so that it will take paint, and turned in at the Advocate of· fice by 3:30 on or before .March 5 tor the first contest and on · or before March 12 for the· second.

The main object of a tuberculosis campaign was formulated out of a meeting held Tuesday, February 11, .at which Miss Kittie Cosandier from the Tuberculosis Association was present. All teachers of biological sciences were · present for the discussion of the project. Later a meeting was held with ·each class sending two· repre· sentatives. This group will meet at a later time, to discuss their program. Talkies Shown to Students.
"Let My People Live" and "Be.hind the Shadows" are the names of. two of the three pictures which were shown to physiology and other science classes all day Mon· day and. Tuesday. These movies are talkies on tuberculosis to better educate the students on this topic. Any student wishing to submit a slogan for this campaign may do ao.
Accused Student Pleads Not Guilty "No, no, a thousand times no, I didn't do it," raved Gilbert Ryder, president of the Hi-Y, after the Lincoln's birthday program over the sound system, when it was suggested that he was the one who gave Lincoln's Farewell Address at Springfield. The one who really gave it was Raymond MaS.sey, famous actor and motion picture star, whosi;l voice was on a record· ing. There would have been no mistake, but at the introduction the record was blurred.

Fear of Learning Truth May Cost You Your Life What is more deadly than a wad What preventable disease kills 175 people each day ? What is the leading cause of death between the ages of 15 and 451 Lincoln high is now starting a campaign against this disease for the benefit of the entire student body. Nine times out of ten tuberculosis first gets a foothold in the lungs. However, it may affect any part of the body. In the old days people called it consumption. The disease is caused by a germ that starts growing and multiplying in the body. Being "run down" makes it easier for the germs to get a foothold. Colds do . not cause tuberculosis. Only tuberculosis germs can cause tuberculosis. lt is not inherited. In the beginning tuberculosis often bas no signs or symptoms. When persons who have tuberculosis start to lose weight, feel tired all the time and. start coughing, the disease is advancing. Some who seem to be in good health may have tuberculosis. When the doctor makes the diagnosis he places great trust in the chest X-ray. He is not satsified with the findings of the stethoscope alone. An X-ray will show it before you know it.
Primary Elections, Petitions Give Voters Experience Home room representatives voted Monday on several amendments to the school constitution. One of these intends to establish primary elections and the system of nomination by petition similar to that in practice at Whittier junior high. In the future a person desiring to be a candidate far student council would file a petition containing a statement of his scholarship qualifications and the signatures of 100 voters. With the approval thus of 100 of his fel· low students, the candidate's name is put on . the ballot for the primary election. . Sophomores would vote for junior co~ncil nominees, junior for senior would-be members and the seniors would vote for their class officers in this election. The two highest become the nominees to be placed on the ballot for the general election. This system is similar to the adult method of nominating officers, giving the students valuable practice for future political participation. This method, it is hoped, will bring members into the council who are especially interested in the school and in student gov· ernment. Small assemblies at Whittier meet with the candidates once before and once after the primary election. The audience is encouraged to ask the candidates questions informally and a few representative students on the stage ask the candidates questions. "What are their qualifications for this office 1" and "What ideas they have for improving the school T" are the chief questions. To answer these, the tau<li dateE: prepal'e plti:tfcrms composed of their answers. These are presented and discussed in the small assemblies.
'Army and Navy, Cause Of Girl's Bitterness "I sure wish there wasn't such a thing as an arniy or navy.'' That decisive sentence means quite a bit to the United States but to the speaker, a young high school girl, it meant much more, in her estimation. These groups called the army and navy were, to her, just one of fate 's terrible gifts to young girls. A very special boy-friend of this girl had joined up with Uncle Sam in his everlasting work to protect America from foreign aggression. This girl was whining, saying that she'd never have : fun again. This girl perhaps didn't realize what importance her few words mean to the United States. If we didn 't have any army or navy we would certainly be in a "tight spot." For without these protective agencies our United States would always be in danger. Remember, next time when we say such little things which seem "harmless-enough" but do really contain dynamite, that they ahould be thought about before being spoken.

New Basketball Fan Learns the Why and Wherefore .of Rough and Tumble Game
. Why introduce myself? You all know who I am. But why must I make excuses 1 I can claim to be the most criticized high school columnist in America and that shows that this stuff is read even if it does smell. To get down to facts, we hear that one of these little L. H. S. students (a mere 6 ft. 4) had his mother write a letter to his teacher saying, "Please don't whip our Willie. He isn't used to it. We never hit him at home except in self-defense.''
• • • Since our last week appetizers we've had demands for more. So here ya are. Overheard at a local eating house: After sitting near a sniffling young sop~, an elderly lady said, "Boy, haven 'f you a haudkerchiefl" The soph after 11 moment of close regarding let this fly : "Yes, I have, but I don 't usually lend it to strangers. 1 ' It smelt. I know. Not even my Sin-Sin can take it away .
• • • I just have to trail Drippy Dope wherever he goes because he is so absent-minded. Y esterday I tailed him into a barbe.r shop just as he sat down and ordered a hair cut. The barber said, "Sure but would you mind taking off your hat first. '' Drippy turned around, spied a luscious creature and replied, ''Oh, pardon me, I didn 't know there was a lady present.''

Do you want a good grade ? Who don 't 1 It seems that there is a new angle in t he "Take teacher an apple " trick. Dorothy James was a little Boy Scout in Miss Jennie Lou Piper's second period class when Miss Piper began to cough. Dorothy gave her a coughdr op. Then at the end of the period Dot gave her the box for good reminder. Don't take it to heart, Miss Piper.
• • • We can 't get away from these ''cracks in the classes" so here's a killer; it says here: "When does a treaty go into effect T" It was asked by Mrs. Ruth Dodge of her first period modern history 2 class Monday, February 10. The low, bass voice of Vallery " Playboy" Stratton boomed out very calmly, "Just as soon as t he ink's dry."
• • •• Silence reigned and everybody got wet when the f ellows took their girls out in the fog and mist.
• • • Betty Jo IJeadley tries to slay everyone with this: ''What happened to the little girl that ate a stick of dynamite 1 Her hair grew out in bangs!"
• • • Jack Tilton had to have new glasses recently. Could it be the Strain (Betty) on his eyes?
• • • Everyone was wondering why Helen Bennett's face was so red when she came into her . fourth period class a. little late the other day. Well, this is the reason : Thinking it time for fifth period and having a free fifth she left school at 12 :50 and did not realize until she reached Plymouth church that she had forgotten to go to fourth period. Feeling very foolish she returned to her fourth period, a little late, providing a good laugh for her teacher and class.

Y arious Walks Of Life in Halls Of Alma Mater Are you a second Long John Silver, or do you resemble Mr. ¥ilktoast when you're rambling down the hall ? The first type of walker i1 the good old L. H. S. athlete. Now that'• a strut if there ever was one; chin out, arms in pockets and a flock of admiring fems . clustering about adoringly, with the "self conscious" he man 1aying, "Oh, that wun't anything." Now the second example is the bashful boy who is forever sneaking around the corner or into a class room just to get away from the crowds, "who are surely watching with a critical eye", ·so he thinks. This type usually hurries with uncertain steps tor !ear of being seen. Let'a have a look at the girls; first there is the girl who is forever holding on to the boy friend's hand, as if he will get lost, and just sort of l!Coots down the hall, and her feet hardly leave the floor. Then there'• the girl who is so interest ed in looking her best to all who !lee her that she get s in everyone's way, you .know whom I mean, lhe gh i who Aaunters right in front of Y"U when you' re late for a clu1. The gal who really hu a mighty tread i1 the one whose head is forward, arml! waving, and book11 just sort of hanging on: This description belongs to the "Babe D ixons" around school. La.st but not least is the personality studier, the person who looks for the "inner self" in everyone, even if you don't have one. This type gazes intently on you until he either bumps into someone or twists his neck. . If the former happens, he is justly pleased, be· cause of the rare .personalities one meets on the floor. You'd have a rare personality, too, if someone knocked you flat on your face. Well, wouldn't you ?
,P eppers Present Sketch of Team In 2 Assemblies Possibly the A and B assemblies, the day of the Lincoln-Jackson game, may have had something to do with the w inning of the game. Many of the pupils were in .condition nearly to yell their lungs out by game time and they really did support Lincoln. Ghita Hill, as Madame La Conga, wa11 ·s lightly wrong when she predicted the score would be 75-74 in favor of Lincoln, the real score being 25-19, although she was right when she said each side would lead a number of times because they certainly did. Hugh T. Rangeler led the patriotic songs of the school while Jack Tilton introduced his new Conga yell, and the Peppers gave a 11ketch. The sketch was a proph· ecy of the outcome of the game. Coach Beechner, played by Elizabeth Foster, came on the stage a bit worried, with the team behind him with their usual folly. Wilson, was played by Leslie Metheny, Wilkinson by Mary Mulder, Hall by Marjorie Heuser, Cummings by Marjorie Weygint, Campbell by Dorothy Carnaha n and Ghita Hill was the crystal gazer. Pat Shelley gave a p ia n o aolo in B assembly. Helen Greusel gave an excellent performance in acrobatic dancing. . Mr. Beechner did not make a Uttle speech as he Ul!Ually does but just took a bow, as did Joe Toman, who coaches reserve bask etball. The entire band turned out for the basketball game as did all the Peppers and quite a number of high school pupils from both schools.
Now don't say I said I don' t like basketball games, b ut there is a limit t o everything . You see it was this way-I went to the last basketball game, incidentally it was the second I had ever seen, and I got there early so as to have iny _pick of seats. Natura lly I took a seat in t he first row and right off the bat the ball flies over and hits me on the h ead, but I laugh ed it off like the good sport I was. Then the guy in the black an d wh ite striped shir t ·with a tin whistle pushes a big six f oot guy on my toes and this kid, by the way he was just wearing his underwear, stood there awhile and then he looked straight at one k id, but threw the ball t o another. It was rath er confusing. Pretty soon more people began to come in. Someway my coat slid off the narrow little benches you have to sit on and everyone was walking on it. I finally rescued my coat and w as just trying to find out some pointers about the game from t he cutest boy who sat next to me when some "smart · alee" busted a balloon in my ear and I just about jumped into this cute 'boy's lap. I wish I had ! I guess the game that I had been watching was the reserve
Banana Plantati,on On Small Scale Here Because after bearing fruit, banana tr-ees mu1t be sta rted from the roots so they wi ll bear again, ttie banana tree in the green house wh ich bore fru it last spring has been cut down. Now instead of one large tree there are about six small ones. Approximately twelve varieties of cactius, numerous ferns, and many flowers both common and rare to this locality are also found thriving In this steamheated room under the supervision of Miss Mary Bardwell. Gera.ldine Stokke, a student, acts as her assistant. Moat beautiful of the pla nts there Is the Baugerillia, a. vine with small red flowers grouped in bunches. Last fall this plant was frost-bitten when a window was left open too long, but it is now after careful cultivation In bloom.

The
Covers World affairs are constantly creating new crises, and many of them can be attributed t o t he thorough and efficient planning of Adolph Hitler. Hitler's rise to · power and the conditions resulting from the Nazi regime are relat ed in child-like simplicity by 12 year old Patsy Ziemer in h er book, " Two Thou sand and Ten Days of Hitler." As the daughter of an American journalist and fou nder of the American school in Berlin, she has lived in Germany all her life. W ith the a id of her father, who sket ches in important background material, she tells of the Jewish purge, the youth hostels, Nazi schools, f actories and of the memorable occasions when she saw Hitler. In one of the many amusing incidents told about rationing, she cites t h e difficulty of buying eggs. As only one egg at a. time could be bought there were sometimes eggs from Chin a, German, Holland and Yugoslavia. When these were mixed together the concoction was called an "International omelet." April 19 and 20 are considered Holy Days for the youth of Germany. On these days the boys and girls take su ch an oath as the following: "The Reich of Adolph Hitler is an eternal Reich. N'owhere in the world, can Youth live as happily as h ere. We have greater freedom and we have greater duties t han any other Youths in t he world. It is you r sacred obligation to become as the Fuehrer wishes you to be. . The y outh of the world squanders time and effor t in a imless self-glorifi· cation. We think not of ourselves, but of Germany. He who does not join us is a traitor. It is our sacred duty to guard the Reich of Hitler, to save it from its enemies, and to die for it." "How different," Patsy writes, "are t he views and beliefs of t he · American youth. " The st ory is a. stirring account ot the events that happened in Germany since Hitler and moves at such a fast pace t hat the reader's attention is held to the end. Other recent books on the war are : "Handbook of the War by de W ilde and ot hers; "Why Europe F ights" b y Walter Milli8; " P eace with Honour" by A. A. Milne· and "Armies of Spies" by Gollom b.
game and so pretty soon L. H. S.'s t eam came out. A g uy t w o rows back of me started ringing a cowbell and I thought my ear drums would break. I wonder ed h ow he could stand it himself ? Well anyway, the game went 0. K. I guess 'cause every two seconds the kids would yell and cheer and my t orturer with the bell would r ing it as hard as he could. He got s tronger as t he game progressed. Suddenly a buzzer rang, scaring me al! muc.h as the balloon, and all the players went off the floor. I bought a candy bar then to build me up. against the bellringer. The team cam e back again and started in running from one end of the gym to anoth er a nd every once in awhile they tried to get a big ball t hrough a n apparen tly too sm all h oop with a snood-like net hanging from it. You get what I mean don't you ? A boy that hadn't played before was now on the floor, and was he cute, and he was thrown together all right too. I haven't told you about the two girls that sat in back of me h ave I? Well t hey take the cak e. One had a da te with this "Atlas" basketball player and well, personally I don't think 11he has a thing I haven't got-
and her dress-sh e isn't a bit cute - Oh, well, I'm getting away from my st ory. Anyway w hen the opp osite team would make a score she would let out a horrified s cream a n d then when he (this cute "Atlas") w ould make a score, she would scream, jump up a nd down, step on my coat, knock off my new parka hood I got for Christmas, p unch me on the back a nd once she pun ched too har d and got my candy bar and whit e fur m ittens a ll mixed-up together. F in ally the g ame ended and I thought I had gone through about ever ything an ordinar y per son could go through and then as I was still sitting down trying t o separate my ch ocolate bar from my m ittens a guy jumped over me. Now I wouldn't have minded that so m uch only one of his feet lagged a little and kicked m e. I finally p ushed and elbow ed my w ay out and m a naged to drag my weary and scarred body int o bed with my ears still ringing .from the cow bell and shouts. At the time I never wanted to 11ee another game, b ut I'm a glutton for punishm ent, so I'm going t o the next one. What has. t his game of basketball got anyway ? P . S. I boug ht a cowbell so I'll be seeing y ou.

W hen it is finished For thinking up tight-spots that even Dick Tracy couldn't get out of, Will Shakespeare had it all over these modern writers. Tak e Antonio tor instance, a merchant of Venice (from t he book of the same nam e) who was really out on a limb . . When his g ood friend Bassan io t ouched him for a few do 11 ars-bucks-Antonfo didn't have a sou in his jeans, since his ship hadn 't come in, but declare<i he'd borrow the necessary amount from a tight -fisted, short-change artist whom t he boys called Shy· lock. Now Shylock h arbored no love f or Ant onio within that hollow-organ w hich pumped the water through his veins, but he slipped. h im the dough with t he agreement that Antonio would forfeit a pound of his flesh if he couldn't " come a cross" w ith the money. A lthough Bassanio feared to have his friend take :euch a . chance· for h im, he was blinded by love's light ,and sorely needed, a few chips to court Portia w ith, e~pllcially since she had plenty of that green,.stuff chucked a.way in the 'ole sugar-bowl' and a lso m ore s uitors than a s mall boy has tin whistles. Portia froze them a ll out for Bassanio, and after the last bag of rice and old s hoe had been thrown, they settled down in her modest little mansion. Mean· while an ill wind had. been blowing a nd Antonio's ship didn't come in as perscheduled.. He sent a telegram to Bassanio by Onion Pacific saying h e was on t rial in Venice for a pound of his flesh, which w as probably crawling by t hat t ime. Bassanlo was in such a dither he rushed off .without k issing his spouse good-bye. W ith that womanly instinct at work, Portia connived to help h ubby's f rien d, so · donning a ·large wig and a long black robe, sh e h ot-footed it to t h e court trial as a counselor, to p lead the case. L ittle did Bassanio s uspect that the s crub of a counselor was t he little women who fried t w o eggs for him every morning and mended his socks. It was a losing bat tle, but as Portia pushed back tb,e wig which h ung to her eyes, she had a brainstorm, with a rainbow and a pot of gold thrown in. "Take your measly pound of flesh," she coug hed," and Shylock shar pened his wicked knife while Antonio bit his nails off up t o the elbow, "but if you take one d rop of blood along with it, you'll be wearing a rope for a necklace." Shylock's face fell to zer o, for he knew a corner when h e saw one. P or tia. t ook t he shortest way home, and changing back into her house dress, met Antonio a nd Bassanio a t the door.

Pupils Give Broadcasts For Series Discuss Topics Every Friday For the American School of the Air, a brief, unrehearsed panel discussion on the subject, "What do communications mean in relations between the Americas?" over KFOR Friday, February 14, was presented by Robert Hamilton, Herbert Norman and Mary Beth Miller. That without a doubt. communication has played a great part in bringing the Americas together was the conclusion of the broadcast; also that aviation has made South America a market for United States goods and has given them a chance to export goods. The first few minutes of the broadcast were used to show h ow the a1.1tomobile, train, airplane, moving pictures, t elephone, radio, telegraph, radiogram and radio telephone have helped a great deal in communication. Introduction of sea shells, for use as primitive money in place of trade and barter is an important first step in the development of modern currency according to the broadcast heard by E. Bryant Phillip's fifth period modern l history class, given Friday, February 7, on the gold standard. The subject was further elabo.rated on by Janice Marx, John ~ngle and Paul Arthaud in a ten minute broadcast immediately following the New York program. Stimulated by the discussion, the class debated the subject until the end of the period. The broadcast proved so interesting the class voted to continue to listen every Friday. Friday, February 21. Harry Mease, Jean Rotton, Bill Deneke and Charles Anderson will discuss the subject: "Do the Americas require a second canal ?"

Robert Lesher Speaks of Fish Highlighting the pet club meeting of February 11 in 306 was a talk by Robert Lesher on the different types of tropical .fish, their care and habits. While explaining and describing the fish which he had brought to the meeting, he pointed out that the clams, snails, fresh water clams and other types of scavei:tgers arc the h ou sekeepers of the aquarium. They crawl along the bottom of the bowl and take in sand, and all left over food particles. In a short time the sand w ill begin to pour froin their gulls in ·a steady stream. Besides serving as a decoration and a hobby, fish are recommended for soothing nerves. Nerve specialists seat their patients in front of an aquarium and let them watch the fish. Their smooth, graceful movements are supposed to calm the "jitteriest" of nerves. "Although you needn't be nervous to enjoy the beauty of fish," Robert smillingly added. The meeting adjourned with an invitation for all lovers of pets to join the club.
Girls Hear Moods In Musical Terms Greeting the Girl Reserves on Monday w as Miss Esther Ostlund who opened the meeting w ith group singing. After several s elections of the girls octet, accompanied by Paul LeBar, announcements were made of the approaching membership tea which is February 23, and the various committee suppers whlch are to be held in the next two weeks. The Hi-Y-Girl Reserve conference which is an event of March 28 and 29 was announced and invitations are being sent to all Girl Reserves. Katherine Rice informally introduced Miss Ostlund as "Skipper". w ho addressed the club on her f avorite subject. m usic. "To me, nothing Ls more inspiring for young girls than to engage one's self in musical activities," was Miss Ostlund's response to the musical activities offered in Lincoln high. To interpret the various moods, Katherine Rice and Miss Ostlund gave their choice compositions, the former at the cello and the latter at the piano.

Gradual Experiences Ona Beth O'Connell, Student of Fine Arts, Studies at Academy Ona Beth O'Connell, graduate .of Lincoln high school, former news editor , of the Advocate and member of the Links s taff, tells of Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts which she a ttends this year, in a letter to Patricia Becker. The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts which is recognized as the oldest aTt institution in the United States, was founded in 1805 by a group of 71 citizens among whom were the famous artists Charles Wilson Peale, William Rush and Rembrandt Peale. The school begins September 31 and runs until May 25 with school day beginning at nine o'clock and ending at four in the afternoon. Any of the students may work from s even to nine in the evening. No compulsory attendance is required, but to make sure that everyone attends the Academy, the students must register one piece of work for each class and make a composition to put up for criticism at least once a month. She explained, "I am in illustration now and find it intensely interesting work. Every morning we have either a life or head model who poses for one week. The models pose for 25 minutes and rest for five minutes between poses. In afternoons, we have a costume model who also poses for a week." A co-ordinated course with the · University of Pennsylvania is offered to those who wish to work for a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. An Academy student matriculates at Pennsylvania university and takes all his academic work there, while he does his art work at the Academy. Students at the Academy are given many chances to compete for prizes and scholarships which the Academy, itself, offers to its students. Cresson Scholarships are given to those who have attended the Academy for at least three years and these give the students a chance to travel for a year in Europe.

I n one section of the city are narrow cobblestone streets, some of which are the first built in Europe, while in another section are broad a.venues with parkings in the center. There automobiles compete with donkeys, with the donkeys almost in the lead. "Although women wear the latest fashions from Paris, they still wear mantillas and carry fans," she revealed, "also the women wear black on the street and the girls are always chaperoned wherever they go." Besides her speech on her trip to Spain, Miss Rokahr showed samples of Spanish work in lace, pottery and a button with gold hammered on s teel w hich are typical articles of their country as well as the many postcards with scenes of Spain. A committee of five was chosen to decide whether or not the club would participate in .Joy Night, and to discuss plans for the act.

Miss Gladys Dana's design 2 classes are studying the policy of Ralph Helm Johanott, an authority on art. Miss Dana, -who had the privilege of studying under him on bis visit to Lincoln, .is passing on the benefits of her toil. Johanott believes in strong color and the alternation of smooth and irregular lines. He teaches art as a music teacher teaches piano.

Chemistrv Club Elects President ol
Richard Hay, senior, was elected president of the chemistry club, at the m eeting of February 14. The new secretary-treasurer is J ean Whedon. Oliver C. Collins, assistant professor of astronomy at the University of Nebraska, was the speaker of the occasion. His subject was, "Colors of the· Stars." "It is news to some people that the stars have color," stated Mr. Collins. "The stars are really tremendous powerhouses of energy in the form of light, heat and electromagnetic wave lengths." The t emperature of a star is indicated by its color, and the color of the stars, to us, depends on the dust clouds in space and the condition of our own a tmosphere_ "The hotter a star is, the closer to the blue end of the spectrum it appears, and the cooler it is, the closer it appears to the red end of the spectrum," added Mr. Colilns. The professor, who was assisted by Earl Schmieding, a junior at the university. brought a piece of a pparatus which he calls a sky projector. '!his projector, developed by the university at an approximate cost of $30 is on the same idea as a million dollar planetarium. After the talk, cocoa and sandwiches were served.

Pin.g Pong Tournament Reopened jor Entrants
With a fast growing spirit among the squad members, that in a few· weeks they are going to be state champions, the Lincoln· hi gh ' hoopers took a fairly easy win from the Omaha Tech high school, 40 to 29, Saturday night, February 15, at the Tech gymnasium. As "Blaze Blazek" led the way with his nonchaland turn, shoot and swish shot, the Links were very seldom in trouble. Blazek hit from far and near and in the first half, he took five shots which resulted in 5 precious buckets. The game started fast with the h elf score standing at 28-17, Linco.ln. The Links shot often and hit 13 out of 2 5 shots in the first half which is the hottest streok produced thus far this season. Wickert, Almquist and Schaffer, stood out for Tech, while Bob Campbell and Wilkinson gave Blazek scoring s·upport. fg . ft f! Tech Lincoln ti; ft f Blazek f Cummings f Campbell! Bloom!

Classes hav~n·t quite got under way as yet, but physical examina· tions will be finished next week , and real. work will beg in, Girls will be seen roaming t he halls with string, wet hair, but don't let that get you down. T he solution has been found. A nice chamois skin can be got for a mere nothing , and when tightly wound around the head plus three or four bathing caps, it will keep the hair as dry a s before you went in. If th is doesn't work, the only solution is, "Don' t go swimming." Members of G. A . A. ! Dues mu~t be paid before the the end of the first six weeks, or y our membership will be dropped. Lois Wilkinson is in the gym after school to collect the dues, which are t en cents. The sooner they a r e paid the better, and don 't wait un t il the ver y last m inute. Can yo u swim? Floa t ? Dive? The girls swim meet isn't so far in the future, so grab some water wings and prepare, one and a ll. The g irls in gymnasium classes are now ready for action. Swim m ing and bas ketball will dom inate activities played during the first nine . weeks. Basketball will be dropped for baseball when the weather p ermits.

With only t wo games remaini ng· of the regular season, the rap• idly improving Lincoln hoopsters will take on Kearney at the Whit· tier gymnasium February 22, gam e time 8:30. Since little is known about the style of play, height or speed ·of the Kearney team, it is hard to predict an outcome. They have been beaten badly by some of the western t eams, however, and Lincoln is rated a slight favorite .. Now that. the big Jack.son game is safely under their belts, the Links w ill begin tapering .off for the beginning of the regional t ourn ament which is· just two weeks from t oday. The point grabbing of McAr· thur, touted sophomore, Bob Campbell and Cliff Wilson have been a main f actor in the success of the team t hus far. Reserves Are Promising Lot.. Lincoln high's future hopes for good basketball teams are rapidly ri.sing as the reserves keep salting away the victories. Led by J ake Bruns and the alwa ys imp roving J oh n Dean, the reserves meet Hickman high at 6:30 Februa ry 22, in a preliminar y to the first t eam game.

Germ May Spread to You By Contact With Carrier Do you know the fact8 !lbout tuberculosis? Perhaps you may think you do and you may know some, but do you . know the right ones which are: (1) Tuberculosis is caused · by a germ-the tubercle bacillus. (2) It is n.o t inherited. (3) It often exists without the presence of sympfoms and signs. (4) Tuberculosis is no respecter of pez·sons. (5) It is curable. (6) Tuberculosis is. preventable-though not by vaccination or immunization. But knowing these facts is not enough, they must be applied_ If every high school and college student could not only become familiar with the facts about tuberculosis, but recognize his or her responsibility as a citizen to see to it that all the known measures of prevention, of discovery ~f early cases, and of cure are functioning in the community where he lives, we might confidently look forward to the eradication oi tuberculosis within another generation. This germ may en.t.er your . body by your coming in contact with a person who has the disease in a communicable form, who is giving out from his body living tubercle bacilli. Anyone coming in contact with such a person is likely to breathe in or swallow some of these germs which are · exhaled or coughed out in large quantities. Kissing, caressing, drinking cups, spoons, pencils, or food may be means of passing on the germs. Remember-Tuberculosis is a common disease. Half a million Americans suffer from it. Are you one of these innocent victims? Help the tuberculosis campaign along and find out.
Certain Home Room Was Victim Of Bribery? "I'm not a superman, but I do know that I know enough about government to give you, who vote for me, and those who do not, if I ,am elected, a square deal. . "Try something new for a change, try taking a part in yoilr owp. government. "I will help!" "I want you to let me help you." "Vote for Blank." Typed neatly on a small envelope, the abo:ve message was given to every member of a home room in a recent Lincoln higl,l election. It is a clever statement. The generalities would appeal to voters. There was one catch_:_the envelope contained a piece of candy_ .No doubt the candy was · intended to per11uade the voter further, if he needed it. To wide awake voters, however, Mr. Blank seemed to be subtly calling them · suckers for accepting his bribe. Student voters as well as adult voters should be suspicious of any candidate using sueh methods.
Free Textbooks Privilege Forf!.otten Bv . -·· . Manv .. Twenty-two thousand books .being rented
to the students of Jefferson · high school, Roanoke, Virginia, as a Roanoke city paper stated at the beginning of this semester, should make Nebraska public school pupils thankful that their school books are free. Free textbooks were considered a necessary factor of democratic education by the early Nebraska.. legislators. Sometimes students forget that privilege and by carelessness rob themselves of new and better books. In school .disti•ict number 15, Palatine, Illinois, a system of lacquering books has added about two years life to the school books. The process is simple and the students do it. The Journal of the National Education association describes it in the last issue. . First, all the dirty books are washed with a sponge, soap, a mild disinfectant and a little water. Scrubbing gently, the sponges washed in clean water before each new colored binding, the books are prepared for the next. step. Se~ond, book lacquer, not shellac, is ''painted" on the dry covers. B<¥)ks such as dictionaries, references and· supplementary books are given double coats. Instead of the slippery, easily soiled, brown paper covers used in Lincoln high, perhaps a can of book lacquer and a paint brush used on the first day of school would do a better job .of preserving the books. Then the students could enj(\Y t he attractive covers of new books and probably have new books oftener as a result of the saving.

Royer of Hollywood Gives Three Easy Lessons on How To Have 'Oomph' Presented at an all girl assembly Friday, Febru11-ry 21, was Royer, noted young Hollywood de· signer, who spoke on points of styling and grooming. He is better known in his home state of Nebraska, as Louis Royer Hastings, of North Platte. He attended the University of Nebraska and later studied under Mr. Parsons of New York. Royer stated his "ABC" rules for proper grooming. "A" stands from grooming "inside and out." A girl should. always be neat and clean 'in appearance. "B" stands for posture and speech. · One may · be well groomed but if she has incorrect posture or defective 'speech which also includes talking
Stray Mutt Holds Up Joy Night Progreas · Res.eal"Ch work, flag painting, and poster design for Joy' Night were held up for one whole day in iast T'ucsday'a fifth period art class so as to sketch the stray mutt which wandered into the class. Miss Helen Wilson had Warren Myers set the dog up on an art table In order to sketch him better. The mutt formed a great pose until the cla11 had just about completed the sketches; then he lay down. After seeing the sketche,s , Miss Wilson said that she would ·be willing M take the art class over to Antelope park to sketch some of the animal life. Donna Emery. and Charles Cook were the students most interested in sketching the vieltor.
in a harsh or squeaky voice the
effeet of her grooming is spoiled. "C" is the practical application of clothes. This means wearing proper clothes for proper occasions. "To be the well dressed girl of today'', Mr. Royer stated, "you must dress so. that you do not attract attention to yourself.'' Today girls don't need to spend lots of money on clothes as they did formerly, beca,use it is a matter of shopping rather than sewing. He stated that one should buy a simple dress and build around it. He .concluded by saying, "To be or not to be smart ·is the thing you alone must decide."

Style of dress, color of garments suitable for different types of girls, and · color coxnbinations · are the . dominate studies in Miss Delores Young's home economics 3 class which pupils are carrying on in prelude to their sewing of three garments for this semester. Each girl analyses herself; her color of hair, eyes, skin, etc., and detei:m.ines which ·colors of material are best suitable for her. In addition Miss Young gave her own personal tips to each individual girl which proved to be invalu-. able.

Students Give Views On Present Day War Problem In Discussion "Who will win the war?" the topic' of a panel discussion h eld at the Round Table meeting last Thursday, proved to be an exciting but inconclusive survey on contemporary events as reflected in the World war. This t opic was presented by Kenneth Greenwood, Jerry Ryan, Helen Kiesselbach, Eunice Sanders, Jean Kinnie a nd Jackie Campbell. Robert Lesher was chairman. "Brit ain is our first line of defense," stated Jean Kinnie, "therefore we must give her all possible aid. She doesn't need our manpower but our supplies, such as airplanes, tanks and ammunit ions." That the morale of the British people is extremely high is another factor in favor of the British. Disagreeing with her, Helen Kiesselbach argued that it was all a matter of opinion of wh at is right as feelings aren't going to win the war today. "Nothing less thitn a miracle will save Britain now," disclosed J erry Ryan. "Hitler soon will have almost full control of central Europe and has the resources of these conquered countries to rely upon." "Turkey, Russia and France represent the three question m arks in determining the outcome of the war," asserted Kenneth Greenw ood. The n ext m eeting w ill be devoted t o a ·discussion on the latest and most interesting books.

Miss Helen Wilson spoke on her trip to France and Mexico at the art club meeting, Thursd ay, F eb· ruary 20. In France, where Miss Wilson attended an art school, it was necessary in order to take a bath, to buy t ickets t o go t o the .Public bath house. " I was homesick for American food," she said, "for we h ad hor se m eat, hard bread, no cream or milk, fruit and cheese for dessert." "I think we all came back to America," she added, "very glad we live here." In 1935, Miss Wilson went to Mexico. There the pyramids are about as large as those in Egypt. Miss Wilson saw the floating g ardens, art events, and the bull fights . "They t ortured t he bulls," she expla ined, "to m a ke them furious then they blinded them with a scarf and killed them." The Mexicans enjoyed this sport. "If you a r e g oing to Mexico, be careful about the water. Don' t eat raw fruit s or vegetables," she advised. " It is pleasant," she concluded, " t o be in a coun try in which ·you are not afra id to eat."

V'lith hardly any action in the last half, the passing p oor, the K earney five hustled to bring the game to a closing 29-19. Tall Carl Hudson was best for the visitors, hitting for 9 points with Jester and Porter giving plenty of help. Darwin Blzzek, ace Lincoln forward, sprained his an kle when he spilled in the first period. He was hurried to the dressing room where his ankle swelled rapidly.

Invasion of Lowlands Told Young Dutch Air Pilot
Snapping Rubber Bands May Result in Blindness A boy walked into the Advocate office holding a hand over one eye. ''Someone ought to write an editorial on shooting rubber bands!" Behind that hand was a red, inflamed eye. It seems he had been meandering around when he got in the way of an also meandering rubber band. There had to be a third party of course. A teacher once said, " High school students want to be trusted, but when given a chance they don't show any common sense. '' This pertained to another subject, but if the shoe fits put it on. Serious injury could result from rubber band shooting, and no one w-a.nts to feel it is his fault for someone wearing glasses, seeing what's going on in the world with one eye, or walking around with a white cane. In the future remember rubber bands w ere made for keeping lunches, papers and other things together, instead of injuring persons. You'd certainly hate to be the one that got hit.
Sportsmanship Is A Trait Well Worth Recognition To be a sportsman is one feature and to possess sportsmanship is another. It isn't everyone that can laugh with the rest when he is beaten a "love set" af ter a hard game of tennis or can congratulate his traditional opponent when his football or basketbaH team was tripped over. But to laugh and congratulate the victor has often proved too much to be expected from the ruins of the spoils. It has been brought to the attention of. one of the athletic clubs; how badly some pupils take their spoils. After an inventory was taken of t he membership and award lists, the club officers and sponsors found many unexcused absences from club meetings and the annual banquet. Mitch speculation p ointed · toward several persons when the club announced that these had lost their membership, while still others had their awards taken from them as a result of absence from the banquet. Several steps were taken to make the club ret ract the statement which were of no avail. Only a few of the defendants emerged from the inventory meeting with smiles and not harsh words and thoughts. After a long period of time, some of these athletes are still "foaming " . But those who still show sportsmanship should be recognized.

How many people a1'<'· JrnH a milLiOli ? Hait a million people are a lot of people, enough to fill any five of the following cities : Miami, Florida ; Tacoma, Washington ; Wilmington, Delaware; Knoxville, Tennessee ; P eoria, Illinois; El Paso, Texas and Utica, New York. Can you imagine the excitement if once every six months all the people- men, wom en, and children, young and old, rich and poor, in any one of these cities had to be removed for medical car e into hospitals and not a living soul was left to fill the empty homes, schools, stores and factories in the empty city ? Imagine this picture of desolation. It gives you an idea of the size of the tuberculosis problem in the United States. Tuberculosis was previously very prevalent among cattle. You say "What did the p eople of the United States do about it1" They had · the cattle tested. Now very few cattle have tuberculosis; in fact it is nearlv wiped out. But what about the people 1 Ar·~ they not as important as cattle ? Can't they be skin tested? Certainly the people can, and will, be skin tested as soon as ·a few drowsers wake up. But do the student s of Lincoln high have to wait for them- can't the students do t heir part and prove that we, the future men and women of tomorrow are as important as cattle 1

Do you know that t he Spanish war which lasted two and a half years was not a civil war at a ll, but was the invasion of a peaceful democracy by Hitler and Mussolini? "In Place of Splendor," the a utobiography of a Spanish woman, Constancia de la Mora, is a revealing record of the conditions in Spain before and during the war.

The Advocate has taken upon itself the mantel of judge and jury and has used this disg.uise to launch a vicious personal attack upon a specific member of the student body. Such a disguise does not befit the Advocate, which ha§ for years acted as the spokesman of the school and its students. The Advocate has earned for its work the historic title of "Muckrake r ." I hope it will speedily change its mind and ·turn onto the right road, the royal road to good journalistic practice. MR. BLANK. Editor's Note: The Advocate believes that it is unethical for a candidate for public office to give candy to voters a long with his campaign announcements. The Advocate refers Mr. Blank to the Compiled Statutes of Nebraska, 1929 (latest edition) under Cor rupt Practices, Page 32, S ection 2001, Article 20. It reads as follows: "No candidate for any public office created by the constitution or laws of this state to be filled by popular election shall- with the intention to promote the- election of such candidate do any of the following things, ·which a r e hereby made unlawful, and the violation of any one or all of which is to be made a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of . not less than fifty dollars, or imprisonment in the county ja il for a period n ot to exceed six mon ths.

He showed the club a test tube containing copper sulphate, which is a royal blue, and a test tube of ground copper sulphate which is light blue, because of the many surfaces on which the light falls. The edges of the glass sometimes have a greenish tint which is due to the . presence of iron in the glass.

"The heart beats," he stated, "according to the condition in which it is kept." "Heart disease could be prevented,'' Dr. Smith explained, "by living a normal life, eating sensibly, having plenty of sleep, and no overwork. Heart disease kills more people than tuberculosis and cancer put together."

Studenfs Ambition At Last Fulfilled Talks by Janet Mason and Robert Lesher made up the meeting of the pet club, February 25, in 306. Janet told of her life Jong ambition of training a dog and enter ing him in an obedience trial at a dog show, and how she finally achieved it. Receiving a collie named Buff, was the first step and then, by extensive training, she was able to enter him in a dog show in Des Moines, Iowa. The trial consisted of giving orders to the dogs and grading them on their obedience. Amid stiff competition, Buff carried off the blue ribbon for filling Janet's dream. Robert Lesher told of the different pets he had owned and other people had owned. They ranged from a chameleon, a small animal which changes color when placed on different objects, to a Gila monster, a very poisonous animal which came from Canada.

Judge Paine Tells Of Gloomy Future That the outlook for 1941 is dark was the opinion of Judge Bayard Paine of the Nebraska Supreme Court in a talk to the Lincoln Hi-Y Club Wednesday, February 26. What's ahead in 1941 was the subject of his talk in which he asserted that there will be a boom in the east and a boom in the west but no boom in the middle west. "Taxes will be raised and everyone must make sacrifices," he stated, "and freedom of the press will be set to a lower level in the event of war." Supper was held at 6 :30 as usual, while the m eeting was h eld at 7:00 in which plans were made to hold a meeting in Robbers' cave in the future.

Stra ins of "Down by the Old Mill Stream" harmonized by Kay King and Harriet Ingles, floated on the air from room 326, scene of the Orpheons initiation last Wednesday. Robert Jones played "Manhattan Serenade" on the piano and June Wilkie played "Mem ories of Mac Dowell" by Borkin. Singing ''A Bicycle Built for Two" was Ardyce Kargo, who had to ch ange octaves rapidly during the piece at the tap of the gavel wielded by Adelaide Kloepper, program chairman. Prudy Ann Morrison then acted as maestro and led the club in singing "Sons of the Black and Red." A violin solo by Dorothy Caress demonstrated ·how she played the first piece she ever learned, which was "In the Springtime." She was accompanied by Deane Lowell.

Giving a preview of Joy Night were Margaret Capron, Helen Freeborn and Gladys Eisenach. who sang "We Three." Shirley Grossman played "Chop Sticks" on the piano.

Museum Receives New Highlights A live three foot bull snake, two salamanders, a turtle a nd an array of goldfish highlig ht Miss Lucy M. Geiger's private and public museum on the fourth floor of the high sch ool. The snake is fed egg yolks, and the turtle dnd salamanders are fed worms; but at present both are in the hibernation stage. Explaining the necessity for the unusual jaws and body of the snake, Miss Geiger states that due to the elasticity of the jaws and body, a snake may eat and digest things over twice its circumference. The strong digestice acids allow it to swallow its victim whole, and digest it thoroughly. A. snake may enter a small hole in a chicken coop, swallow an · egg, and squeeze himself back through the hole, thus breaking the egg. Shelves of the showcase also contain a display of small ani mals preserved in alcohol, a large stuffed pelican, a peacock and a large representation .from .the ro· dent family.

Superwomen Outcome Proposed Conscription Superwomen! .Is that the fate of America? Such a possibility was brought up during a discussion of conscription in Gerald A. Kvasnicka's modern history class. Some thought that if men were drafted the women should have training also, Then a brilliant student with his mind focused on the future spoke up with an argument which would tear down the sta.unchest defender of sending women to camps. He brought out the point that, after a few months of training, men usually gained in weight, then he tactfully added, "How would the women look with 20 or 30 extra pounds?" No other statement co,uld break down the stronger sex more quickly, 'cause who wants a female Samson anyway?

·v"isual Educators Hold Clinic
Schools Have Defense Work "Youth must be convinced that tomorrow is worth working for," reads the keynote headline of the Gist, the paper of the convention of the American Association of School Administrators, a department of the National Education association, which M. c. Lefler attended at Atlantic City during the last week in February. In relating the story of his stay at the convention, the superintendent pointed out to the student reporters attending the school interpretation sector of the superintendent's round table held at the South ,Administ.ration building on Wedn~sday, March 5. "Everyone who likes peace agreed it is a good idea to have an adequate defense, military, moral and mental." Here is where schools fit into the picture. Their immediate responsibility is mental defense. He described the exhibits of the school equipment on the lower floor of the Atlantic City auditorium, which is as big as a square block in Lincoln, and mentioned a number of notable speakers who addressed the meetings.
Many of the faculty members of · Lincoln high were pre.sent at the Visual Education clinic, sponsored by the Lincoln. Public school system, held at the Student Union building Saturday, March 8. M. C.

Vegetable Patch Has Charm,for Those Who Remove Bilious Green Glasses Dinner-assembled educators, the Nebraska Council of Teachers of English, hear d Lew S arett make an hour and a half into a book of word pictures, turn the evening of March 8 into scenes in Sarett poetry and AmericanCanadian reminiscences. The "woodsman-poet" began his discourse as a discussion of styles in writing, explaining p r esent-time usage as a philosophy keynoted by "the wor ld is a drab, dreary place filled with vicious, crassly biological persons, essentia1ly bad." From pink-and-gold romanticism we h ave fallen into a habit of seeing the world " through g lasses of vile, bilious green," he went on. Writing is a compromise between n egations and affirmations, w as Sarett's theory, with negations of life h aving at present the. best of the scribes. Animals are only what they are, no m ore, sa id the north-woodsm a n, "they aren't capable Of be ing very hypocritical. Mr. Skunk ann ounces to the world at large 'here comes a skunk'. Animals have a personality in each bf them as clear cut as those in human beings." Here was interposed a poem by the speaker called "Four Little Foxes, " one inspired by the accidental finding of four sma!L bewildered fox pups, and intended to show the unchanged innocence of wild life, more specially . the young. "There are many advantages to being alone, you can gain intellectual independence, but too much can be the end of you." said Sa rett in preparation to "The Sheep Herder ," which verse told of a lonely Northern shepherd who had gone mad bec~use of the intense solitude experienced dur ing the long ~ea.sons.

Concluding words of the lecture were significant and beautiful to many in the audience. Sarett read two poems of tribute t o his wife. These were , read in response to an unrelenting applause from t)le English instructors and their friends,' many of whom said, "This was a great honor to Lincoln and a perfect opportunity to all of us to have L ew Sarett here." Dr. Louise Pound received a life membership in the council in r ecognition of h er contributions to it. · "To do justice to our N ebraska guest of honor tonight," said Sarah Muir, who presided, "one should survey all the· fields in which Louise Pound has achieved greatness, and that would take an evening in itself. We who have· known her as the guiding spirit of our best enterprises feel an especial debt of gratitude, Fee.ling as we do, her friends would like to g ive her a silver loving cup studded with sapphires, but we nearly generally st ay by words as we don 't collect such things of the world; but she ~nows our hearts are right and p erhaps she will accept the card that will make her a Jiff' member of this distinguished body. " Miss Olivia Pound, assistant principal and sister of D r. Louise Pound, was present among the guests.

Scribe Authors To Be in Who's Who If you have a poem, essay or short story it still is not too late to submit it to the Scribe. Miss Nelie Putney,' sponsor, states the editors are still accepting manuscripts, but they should be in as soon as possible. A clever scheme is being carried out in this year's Scribe titled " Who's Who. " It is a short autobiography of every one who has material in the Scribe. Corresponding with the Patriotic contest now being held, the cover of the Scribe will also carry those radiant colors of red, white and blue. Name of the winner of the patriotic contest p~cture will be published in the Advocate and authors of those poems, essays and short stories published in the Scribe will automatically become members of the writers club. Miss Putney stated much good material had been received but there is plenty of room for more. . The editors are Patricia Putney, Harriet Hayes and Mary Kierstead. The art editors are Irma Tyrell and Winifred Nelson.
Home, Reputation Secure In Land of Freedom To us the United States of America means, as it does to so many other . persons in every part of this nation, a good home, a .country a person has a chance to prosper, build 'u p a good home and reputation that will stand substantial and will not be torn down and ruined over night, like that which is being done everyday an.d night in so many other countries. To us it means freedom of speech, freedom of press and a place where one can expres.s his own ideas without being :iiunished_ for it. It is a place where jmitice is dealt t o one and all the same, a place where one person is equa:l in rights and citizenship as any other one, regardess of race, creed,,or color. It is a place where the peQple may choose their own president, governor, and other officials of higher •rank, where no dictator or ism such as. communism can take place. And last_ but not least, it is a place where one and all have the same chance of gaining education through the many public schools . . which are furnished by the government.

Tuberculosis Threatens Every Home, _Person . Tuberculosis is no rsspecter ·of persons. - One has only to glance over the necrology list One has only to glance over the necrology list, among unskilled labor than among the pro~ fessions and more tuberculosis (a register of deaths) of distinguished men and women to see that tubercul08is knows no barrier of birth or position. Keats, Chopin, Elizabeth '.Barrett Browning, the · Bronte sisters, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sidney La:nier, all fell victims to tuberculosis. Sev:eral of the physicians who have ·contributed most to our knowledge of t his disease have themselves suffered from it. Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau, who fo1lght tuberclllosis du:r;-~ng fol-ty years of his life and finally succonibed to it, founded the tuberculosis sanatorium movement in t_h is country, established the first laboratory in the United States for the study of the disease, and did. more than · any other man to. place the anti-tuberculosis movement on a sound scientific basis. There is much more tuberculosis in · the lower income strataa. than in the highest, yet no home and no person is safe from it, so long as the dise&Se is not brought under control Remember! "A stitch in time" ·s aves not onlv prolonged illnes~. but money, precious tim~, and often life itself.
Don't Exercise on Pupils; Wail For Spring Sports An exterinely engrossed class in senior math~maties was suddenly interrupted by six
short rings of a bell. Everyone rose and filed out in an orderly manner. It was a beautifill day, with a breath of spring in the air, and just right for snowballs. Soon the snow balls were flying about at a merry clip, and · one boy was actually struck. Another took off his glaMes, · for fear of getting tMm broken. Teachers were hurrying up and down the line trying. to put an end to the throwing. What are we, the students of Lincoln high, going to do about it1 There aren't enough teachel'8 to be placed on guard every fifty ·or •eventy-five feet. And why should there be ~ This problem is seasonal, but state law makes tire-drill at least once a month imperative. One realizes what a hardship it is for atrong; healthy animals to resist the lure of moist, plentiful snow, when a quiek stoop, shaping of the hands, arid stretch of the arm will make a fellow student howl with surJ>rise. "It doesn't hurt!" these young, two legged ereatures insist. .And they're right on.ce in a while. But far more often injured eyes, brohn 1houlder blades and countless bruises make up the 11.u m total of snowball t hrowing. . Winter is nearly over and spring will bring many outdoor sports.

To the Editor: Last week's Advocate carried an Open Forum letter which I w rot e explaining my actions and denying the charges Of UriScrupulous bril;>ery to gain political office. However, the paper ahm carried a rather stupid· refutation of my explanation taken from the Nebraska state constitution. Absurq! Perhaps Lincoln high should raise an army, because that is , called for in the United States CorisUtution. Nebraiika state laws did not create nor authorize any office to be held by a · student in this school. Also, the school constitut ion which should have been referred to contained no such clause. The Advocate has not yet satisfactorily answered my argument. The editor, be it boy or girl, has in fact got himself into a bad hole, and to get out of it, he must explain and answer this question.: Can a student who Ui capable ·and talented and desires to hold office, secure such office from the_ better known sports heroes and popularity girls without serious sincere effort? I am inclined to doubt it. MR. BLANK. The Editor: I don' t know Mr. Blank but I fail to see the wrong in passing out candy with his campaign notices. The election is supposed' to , be held by .secret ballot, thus s t udent8 can vote for any candidate they see fit to vote for. The stu dent was not forced to take t he bribe so he wa!! not obligated to Mr. Blank in any way. If the students choose to elect a person that passes out candy with campaign notice.e it shou l(j be all right for he is the s tudents' choice. I rather admire a. person that has the incentive to launch a campaign for an office. Jim Whitmer. To the Editor of Open Forum : In last week's Ope~ Forum a certain Mr. Blank deemed i.t necessary to- answer the satire placed upon his actions used in securing needed votes for a certain office. Bt1t , Mr. Blank made a mistake in writing that letter. In the first place I feel it necessary to quote Mr. Blank. I believe his words ran "In all the years I have been in Lincoln high, I have held but one office, the one I am holding now." And h ere one must pay clos(- notice. If it W"lre nece8eary for Mr. Bla nk t o stay all the years at Lincoln high, perhaps he has justly been slighted in selections for offices. B ut he devised a means of enrolling a group of followers in spite of all this. It will be noticed that tlie erstwhile Mr. Blank doesn't charge the Advocate ~th mi!representation nor doe.!! he deny the charge of handing out some tidbit to entice a vote. Instead he plunges deeper into his fantasy and accuses the Advocate of never 11a.ying a word against the student government. But In so doing he forgot that t he ·same . column. in which his rare rambling was .f ound is open at any time to any pupil who wishes t o ·voice a sound proposal about government or son,e q uestion of present interest. As to the attack, (A ver y "vicious" one at that ) against Mr. Blank, it could be.s t be termed as a n impersonal attack or article disapproving of a situation that if carried too far would be very un s atisfactory in that it would turn l.incoln high into a political playg round f or bribes that could go too far. And in his · conclusion Mr. Blank labeled the Advocate a "Muckraker." Tno bad. But better a "Muck-raker" than tool in the hands of the ambitious politicians around school. But maybe if he works hard enough with a g reat deal of "industry" "Mr. Blank'" wili be a big politician, maybe a political/ boss, and. then he can have his own newspaper to do his carnpaigning. But until then "Mr. Blank" had best eat his own candy and restrain himself to the extent that he makes sure he will a t least vote for himself. KENNY G,ftEENWOOD.

Three Girls Discuss Immigration U.S.A. Built By Immigration "What !<oould be the llasis ot immigration quotas?" This topic was discussed by Joan Finkle, Berdine Theasmeyer and Jo Thurston in a brief unrehearsed discussion for the Columbia School of the .Air program from the KFOR studios, Friday, March 7. Most of the immigrants come from the British Isles, ~rmany and the Scandinavian countries. There are four main immigration laws. Number 1 limits paupers, criminals and insane people from entering; No. 2, all people over 60 years of age must be able to read and write some language, however it is not necessary for it to be English; No. 3, contract of labor or it Is not permitted to get work811!1 from other countries because of cheap labor and No. 4, only 150,000 are allowed to come into the United States, yearly. "Eight percent of the population o! Nebraska Is foreign born: however we a.re all descendants of immigrants so we shoold not hold anything against immigrants," said the group. They continued, "We should all remember that the central states were built up on immigration."

Oldtime Comedies Shown To Hi-Y Oldtime "Slapstick" comedies were the feature entertainment of the evening when the Lincoln Hi-Y club held its weekly meeting in ..the Hi-Y building Wednesday evening March 5. "Brownie," Aitemas Brown, who is the sponsor of the club from the "Y," showed two pictures which brought the house down. The first in which a model T was blown apart by the street cleaner and washed down the sewer was the most comical of the two.

I! you have seen a blue and cream Model "A" coupe with nice new shiny tires, you have seen Dee Devoe's car. The new tires were necessary because on one back tire there were ten punctures in two days. • Whenever he had a "date" before he had his new tires, or when he went anywhere, he had to stop to get air at every filling station. His tires wer'e worn so badly that he was running on cloth. He attempted to mend his trouble by buying an inner tube, but the tire was so threadbare that it caused a blowout. Dee's father finally ga.ve him the money for the tires, and now he drives without any worry.

School Plan Is Changing • 0. H. Bimson Speaks To Faculty on Civic Education in U.S.A. Speaking before the teachers at a faculty meeting last week, O. H. Bimson, assistant superintendent of s chools, who recently returned from a year's leave of absence, spent with a commission studying 200 carefully selected schools for citizenship training and civic education in the United States. r elated how school planning is changing. "A curriculum is everything t he boys and girls are st udying," stated Mr. Bimson. Teachers of certain subject'! have planned together in the past, but they have had no connection wit h teachers of other subjects. "Teachers should be informed as to problems which are identical. I suggest a possibility of plann ing, not a succession of mathematics, science, or music courses, but a curriculum which shows re- · lationship between subjects. "The boy or g irl m oves from subject to subject but faculty planning has largely been on the plane of separate subjects. Teachers should get the relat ionship in the same way that pupils get it during the day." He told of a consolidated s chool in Moultrie, Georgia, which he vis ited , where pupils, teachers, parents and supervisors planning on grade levels. The pupils knew what was occurring in classes because they had attended the dr awing up of these courses. The old way of plan ning called for everything to run smoothly and for the least money and with the greatest ef ficiency, the supervisor's word being the law. Mr. Bimson believes this is changing; everyone has influence in planning and the supervisor is no longer the sole head.

Art Exhibit Is Seen By Girl Reserves Traveling down to the Morrill hall to observe t he art exhibit on Monday, were the . Girl R eserves. They were greeted by Miss K ady Faulkner, professor of fine arts of the University of Nebr aska. Before conducting the group through the various ga lleries Professor Faulkner explained many of the pictures upon which the girls gazed. "P a intings are f irst , last and always, meant t o be just paintings," stated Professor F aulkner. T o futur e artists she advised, "An artist must know something about everything, not just the knack of drawing. Then too," she told the novice artists, "a painting must be universal for recognition ."' As a conclusion, the girls were shown the complete exhibit. The annual committee supper':'! have been main features during the past week. Several plans for increasing the budget were made by t he finance group, while the social committee discuss ed future club parties. T he service group discussed committee projects and the club paper.

Peculiar Weather Is Puzzle To Everyone Spring has sprung, or has it 7 As I gazed out the window late one March afternoon, not. so long ago, I saw the snow flakes falling gracefully. "Hot dog!'' cried I, running down to the basement to dig out my sled. After working half an hour or so polishing my sled and getting the runners in condition, I set my heart on a good ride down the two block long hill, and as I slammed the back door, I stopped dead still, my eyes grew three times their original si ze. I ?inched myself and grabbed the door knob fo r support. The sun was shining in all its glory and not a sign of snow .anywhere. Was I dreaming? No, the weather ha d changed from snow to bright sunshine in half an hour. January turned into June. No wonder weather men go nuts. Oh, well, thought I, if at first you don 't succeed, try, try again. "Hey, !"'om, where's my roller skates?"

'Links,' Significant of Strength And Unity, Celebrates Silver Anniversary The forthcoming issue of the year b ook, th.e Lin ks, is volume number t wenty-five, making th e Links s ilve r anniversary. Twenty-four years ago, in 1917, two months after the entry of thf' United States in the World war, the n ewborn Links was released, ending the fi rst school year at the brand new hig h school which s u cceeded the old McKinley high. Volume one of the Links began a new tradition, the only yearbook befort that having bee n an ine xpem;ive pa.per -bound Advocate ' Annual." The n a m e "Links'' d erived from "Linc- oln," was th!'! w inning suggestion of Dorothy Roa ch , a senior at that time, who en tered the idea in a contest des igned to name the a nnual. The tit le "Links," was meant t o signif y strength and unity as was drawn into the first cover desi gn, the work of Oz Bia.ck, and had an endles s circular chain in the upper right-hand corner.

Great Interest ls Shotcn In Interclass Debates Whether the daily press should or should not be regulated by a Federal Press Commission is the question that the seniors, juniors and sophomores are having hot debates over in the interclass debate tournaments. This year greater interest bas been shown in these debates than ever before. Perhaps it is because the question concerns articles that we come in contact with every day, that is, the daily newspaper, whet.her· it be a small town or city paper. According to some on t he negative, a F'ederal Press Commission would smother the press. They say it would t ake a'Yay our cherished freedom of the press, and he u nconstitutional. Some of them advocate that the papers would show partiality to the political p11,rties in office. These points ar e only a few of the many brought out by the debaters on the n egative. Some of the arguments of the affirmative are that the evils of the press would be cured in that the Federal P ress Commission wo uld do away w i t h harmfnl ; '<l_lW.drnry " in advertisements. Theil' plea is that Ja.rge enp.i1ali:s ts monupohze aud control the papern. Both sides ai.rre<" ih <lt this q1w.~tion is n v ery important i:)roblem which .w iH concern the coming generations. Every pupil in Lincoln high school should t ake it upon himself to become acquainted with both sides of t his problem and make his own decisi.on on the vital quest ion. Should the da.ily press be regulated by a Federal Press Commission 1
Mental and Moral Defense ls as Great as Military Did you know that defense for our country consists of more than just military arma-. ment1 'l'oo many people believe that if we have an adequate military defens e it will make us invincible or, unconquer able, but they are only partly right. :Mental and mor al defenses are factors just as great. The morale of the people depends lar gely on the newspapers and the radio. Durin& a battle it t akes a calm man to win while the man who loses his head is liable to suffer def eat. Encouragement and the fai.th of true patriots will promot e the national defense more than any other single factor. Instead of hearing a news report blaring out "terrific losses" and "fierce fighting con~ tinues" may we hear that a l;Jasketha ll game was lost or "a hard and r ugged game was fought.'' W e all know we want democra cy. l t. may remain to stand only if we learn to respect it.
Origin of Saint Patrick's Day Unknown to Many S t. P atrick's day, March 17, was celebrated by millions of people, but a great man y do not know the origin of this holiday and why it is celebrated. Saint Patrick is generally believed to have been born in Brittany about 389 A. D . As a young lad he was seized by an Irish pirate and carried off as a prisoner. Thus for seven years he was a slave shepherd before he could effect his escape and return home. By this time, in answer to an inward voice, he had decided to enter the priesthood with the view of converting the Irish. After due study, Pope Celest ine I commissioned hi.m to this work, having first consecr ated him bishop. Loigaire, King of the island, was so impressed by Saint .P atrick that he gra.nt('.d him permission to preach with no fear of annoyan ce. Converts multiplied so rapidly that in seven years Saint Patrick h ad three associate bishops. In 33 years he converted all Ireland, and that at the sacrifice of hardly one human life. The shamrock which is worn on Saint Patrick's day, is the national emblem of Ireland and is said t o have been chosen because St. P atrick chose its leaf of three leaflets to renresent the Trinity, three in one.

Heated Battle Rampant in Student Council ls Reflected in Statements of Members When the smoke of battle ha d cleared a.way , revealing the defeat of the proposed amendment to the iichool const itution, council members were given the oppor• tunity to make statements to elucidate their attitude in voting as they did. All but a few complied. As the elected council of the students, their vote is a matter of public; record. Bryce Alberty, p resident, supported the proposed system be- . cause it offered equal opportunity tor a ble students to serve on t he council. "Students w ill be able to know m ore about the candidate · thru the system of p etition, and would take m<>re int erest in the work of their gove1ning body, which is es!!'entie.l in a democracy," Bryce declared. He f eels tha t American hig h s chool students m ust be educated and given an opportunity to accept the respon sibilit ies which accompany the privileges of a de mocracy. N ancy Green said, "The student body would ·have a great er participa tion. in nomina ting their candidttte:'l for the student council, a nd thus feel that they h a d a g reater part in t h eir governmental affairs." "I did not Uke the clause which stated that e a ch student vote for ·a m ember of his clll.SS alone," explained J oyce Crosbie. "I believe that sin ce the council is elected to serve the school as a wh ole, thjs is n ot ttt all necessary." B ecause the con stitut ional changes w er e all c onsidered as one, Joyce did n ot vote for it .

open to criticism by a few so called •intellectuals'." Expounded Jean Whedon, "I voted for the amendments · because they make it possible fo r a student who is not one of the most popular persons, but who ii!! a good worker, to be nomin ated by his own initiative and be elected on his own platform, As it stands now, council· members are · nominated on p opularity, subject t o approval of a faculty-home room representative commit tee and elect ed on popularity. I feel that m ost of the voters do not cons ider t he ability of a ca ndidate under the present system and t hat this would be corrected under the proposed plan." Wes Maser explains that t he student council is a group with many respon·slbilit ies. Therefore the members should be st udent.'! who could and would like to have those respons ibilities., "I voted for the amendment· because I t hought it would brin g i nto the council those who . .like t he w ork. In addition, by t his method the candidate ·proves himself before the election instead of af t erwards," he concluded. In voting against the a mendment, Perry Branc h unfolded h is reasons thus: ),I felt that it wa s a n idea that would cause· much confusion and that the names of the 100 qualified voters would be useless, due to -the fact t hat a nyone would sign a petition. I believe a person could be railroaded into office very easily . if h e or she had a good schoiastic· aver age." P hilosophizing, Jea n Guenzel said that there i,ii only one way to find out if a t hing is satisfactory, and t hat is to try it ou t . She elaborated, "I a m s ur e that if the changes proved a failur e, they co•1ld be taken out or repealed b y the studen t <;Ouncil and home roo m representatives. If n ot, an amendment might be added." In declining to comment, Mary Lou Holtz asked, "Mmtt we be questioned as to the way we vote because a few think this should be passed and want to know wh y w e voted against it? T his school is supposed to be a democratic societ y." Although he voted f or the amendments, Rober t Campbell does not believe t hey w ould increase council efficiency , f or numerous reasons. He ·continues, "I would not vote for the amendments again without .some changes in · certain articles in regard to eligibility . which defeat t h e aim of the thing . There a re persons who could never be eligible, for· reasons .I would be glad to discuss p rivately ." Desiring stipulations, Gordon Johnson ~clued, ..I t ried to h ave
the amendments changed ~cause I felt they shouldn't be pused a s t hey are. But when the prom oters of the amendment began to play in 'shady politics' a nd 'r a ilroading methods' I became opposed to the attitudeii and threw rriy vot e against passage." Homer Thompson and another member who a ccidentll.lly omitted his nam e, oolieve tha t seniors should have the privHege of nom inating to t he council, but not necessarily vote upon th e· p ersons. "Seniors have more dope on their own claii!! and_ k now who tihould be elected," H omer stated. "I voted in favor of t he new amendments because I . t hin k they hold a power t o bring about a change long needed in Lin<:oln high," Jean Austin inferred. Having t aken part in a similar system used ' by a New Eng land s chool, she k nows the arrange· ·ment to be s uccessful. She !ndi· cated that the election winners are ca pable and the results effective.
Tom H yland lament s the fact ths.t t he amendment could not .be discussed fairly, and a ded s ion reached without all the friction existant within t he. council and without. He is willing to g ive t he new system a t ria l, if it can oo_ supplanted by the present a rrangement in case it proves unsatisfa-ctory . "I voted for the !lmendments, ·• Nelda Oltm11.n pointed out , " be· cause .I believe they 1.re a s tep toward act ual rE:J:>resen tative pup il participation in g o vern ment, r ather than our present system of restricted class rule a.nd 'muddy politics '. As the f a culty is will· ing to permit our experimenting, it is my opinion that the amendments should- be installed." After due. consideration, Jean Rotton voted for the_ change beca use of feelin gs which she expressed: "The purpos e of the st u dent government is t o give pupils an opportunity t o put into practical operation the pr actices ot American government, which they will later, a s citizens, have to f ace, T hr ough studen t governm ent pu· pils should gain valuable experience in the mechanical pr ocess of voting, in selecting good candi· da t es, and in wisely electing the most fitt ed , to office. I believe that t he ne\v system would a ccompli,!h these objectives by giv· ing each student m ore responsi· bilit y In the government, by fac. t aring individual initiative, and by making t hose elected t o of fice more clo~ly responsible to the vot er." Betty Her tzler wishes to g o on record as favorin g the new syst em provided that t here a r e no definite rules or objections as t o a. student r eferendum fbr t esting ~neral reactions.

In Assembly Marionettes Outstanding Team Players Are Featured Cheers and yells rang freely throughout the auditorium la.st Wednesday in honor of the basketball ·team which was entered ·in the state basketball tournament. Playing to an enthusiastic .audience were a group of marionettes with human faces portrayed by Alice Wenzlaff, :Mary Jo Gish, Albert Johnson, Virginia Steurmer and Roberta Collins, who not only led some of the cheers but also made several "rib-splitting" perBOnal remarks about some red f&ced basketball players who also were present on the !'!tage • Albert ·Johnson. looked like a g-enuine violinist as he went through the m otions on a miniature imitation violin while Alice May Booth played Jack Benny atyle. Mary Jo Gish supposedly did an excellent job singing a solo that had everyone stumped as to whether her vocal cords sent forth a masculine tone all the time or her voice merely changed from soprano to a baritone. After a little questioning in her first period class, Mary Jo finally adimtted .that Roy Johnson ha.1 sung the solo for which she had taken credit. Duke Eberhart, Hugh Atkinson and Rex Miller gave a view of the typical spectator arriving for thP. state tournament.

"I joined the navy to see the world but what do I see-I don't see the sea," should be the theme song of John Hutton, f ormer Lincoln high school student, who is now stationed at the Great Lakes training school near Chicago. John has been enlisted for two months and is now a first clas!'! petty officer (an apprentice seaman ) and is on " boot" leave. "Boot" leave is a nine day, traveling time ineluded, g ra nted after graduation. In six months he will get a di- ploma from trade s chool ·a s an electrical engineer. "In '4'4 .when I am twenty-one my enlistment will be up but I intend to stay in the N avy," stated . John when asked about his future plans. "When I get .b ack to camp I will stay there twelve weeks and take some mathematics, then I will be transferred to the Ford shops where I will get more experience." When a man first gets to camp $108 worth of clothing is checked out to him. He wears blue suits in the w inter, e veryone has three, and white ones in the summer, three of these too. Leggings are worn all the time in the training station. The navy has a unique way of pressing their clothes, according to John. The' pants and jumpers are turned inside out and dampened a little· and then rolled so tight that if someone were hit over the head with it, it would knock him unconscious. After four o'clock boys can go swimming in either of the two pools, box in the gymnasium or do anything in sports, o·r else bowl in any of the four bowling alleys. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy so every other Saturday a dance is given and six bus loads of girls come out from Chicago, sponsored by the Navy Mothers and the Y. W. C. A . According to him there n ever is a. "bad looking" one in the bunch.

Travels Mrs. E. Scott European Pet Club Are Described And Pia11ist Hears Talk Are Guests On Canines Bottle Up Your Personal Feelings With two guest performers, :Mrs. E. L. Scott and Jea nne Rotton, the business girls convened on :M:onday, March 10. At the piano playing "Rhapsody in Blue' was JeannFJ Rotton. :M:rs. Scott spoke _to the group of her duties as a social di·· rector of a local hotel. "Always be sincere, polite, patient and alert in all circumstances,'' stressed Mrs. Scott. "Pr actically the same background is needed for hostesil work as for any other experience dealing with the public." "Choose your reading carefully to have a full background in the knowledge of events and people," stated Mrs. Scott. The director suggested magazines, articles and newspapers to broaden this. knowledge. "Play as a game," is Mm. Scott' s motto for courtesy at all times, which is a necessary thing . "People expect hostesses to be s up e r human," <leclared the speaker. "Remember to meet people as they are, not as you would Jik~ them to be,'' s he emphasized. The director concluded with "Bottle up your personal feelings, girls, if you wish to be a hotel hostess."
In The
Classes Jean Austin, Marylouise Goodwin arid Monica Ann Alberty presented a discussion of Theodore Roosevelt over the sound system Friday, for their history class. Rulers are the fashion in Miss Edna Bryan's second period physics 1 class. Every pupil in the class has to make a small c!J.rdboard ruler with m easurements in centimeters a nd millemeters. They must be made very accurate for they are used in measuring many objects, including one's height. Aileen Donavan, who has just enrolled in the beg inning news writing class tor the second semester, was in the F~'lglewood hi~h school, in.. the s1ihurh o.f Den ver , the first of last semester, and worked on the high-school paper through the journalism class. She says the Advocate rates much .higher in her estima tion than the .Englewood paper. She also receives · copies of high school papers from friends in Amarillo, Texas, and · has offered th€se copies to the class for comparison with the Advocate. Cast d rawings has been of great importance in Miss Helen Wilson's fifth period draw~ng class for the past few week s. Among the othet:._ types of work featured are soap carvin g, pendrawing and poster design. Surprise! wasn't the word for it, when Miss Ethel Bryant r evealed. t o her second period English 4 class, the other day, that they wer e to hold a r eunion of the class, 20 years from now. This was all brought on becau se of the fact that they are studying con-· versation at t h is time. The room is completely rearranged so the desks form a circle. Actors in a Spanish play presented la st Thursday in G. Gilbert Rogers' period 3 Spanish 3 class were Bruce Allen, J ean Guenzel, Marilyn Behm, Jerry Nuss and Shirley Brigham. Mr. Rogers expects to use Ufese plays as a help to pronunciation.
Spea king to the travel club last Monday, March 10, .Ward Quilter told of his experiences while living in Europe from 1929 to 1937. While his parents resided in Algiers in French North Africa, he attended a n American school in Brusse ls, Belgium. "Many persons when told about Africa imniediately. think of a wild jungle and uncivi!i.r;ed natives ; however, this isn' t true of Algiers," he explained, "there are many Frenchmen and mainly Arabs there and they dress much in the same manner as we do. Continuing, h e spoke of the countries he had traveled through. Holland and Belgium · were the ones that impressed him most. In Holland there were miles and miles of tulips, of every conceivable color; and windmills, which are used as houses and regulate irrigation, dotting the horizon. The houses are made from limestone and the street~ are mostly cobblestone, which is hard to walk on.
Advocate Staff Drives Bargain, Sells Zinc Cuts 'Vith s~'veral years accumulation · of zinc cuts (pictures to the uninitiated) four members of the Advocate staff, Wayne Kingery, Bob Ho.me, Dale Fahrnbruch and Don Brewer, journeyed into the colorful field of junk-dealing, determined to get the most for their load of zinc. As the boys soon learned, gi;~ ting a good price from a junk dealer is like squeezing blood out of the proverbial turnip. However, after two hours of persistPnt harangueing and visiting four dffferent est ab Ii shments or "joints'', they did come home with the day's dealings. The fourth .tap was made a t a well-known dealer's. Conversation w as approximately as follows: "What do you give for zinc?" "Zinc. What kind of the zeenck ?H "Newspaper cuts." "Oh, those no good. I geeve you three cents ze pound." "Three cents? We were offered six." "Yell, we looky up in the ma rket." There plainly in black and white was the quotation ;<Chicago Zinc, 6.25. And then . "Veil I make you good bargain. I geeve you four. Ven I pay ze freight. you see ho'v much I make?" Slamming of door. " 0 . K., 0. K., we'll go somewhere else." "Vell I tell you. Eef you got feefty pound there. I make you price, five cents." "Sold." When put on the scale'\; there ~v ere s ixty-four pounds. Two pounds off for container; sixtytwo pounds at five cents netted three dollars, ten cents. And, with ten cents deducted for over head (gas ), the Advocate was three dollars richer. Next day the market read "Chicago zinc, 7.25."

Dorothy Caress Is Speaker Speaking on "How to feed a dog," Dorothy Caress entertained the Pet club at the March 11 meeting with a short talk. "Wha t y_o u feed your dog predetermines in large measure his health, appearance, disposition and leng th of life ,'" Dorothy explained. Excessive meat diets, if fed continuously, may overheat the dog's blood and cause an overacid condi, tion. Table scraps usually contain immfficient nutrition a nd a high percentage of indigestible starches. They also are as a rule too highly seasoned to be fed to a dog. "From the time a puppy is six weeks until h e is about two months old he should be fed five times daily, from t wo to three months, four times daily; three to six months, three times; six to twelve months, two times daily with lighter feeding in between," stated Dorothy. From seven months and on feed puppy food, mixed with milJ;: crumbly moist but not wet. Als o occasionally well cooked veget a bles, except potatoes may be fed. One h earty meal a day is enough for most grown dogs, preferably in the evening. A few dry bis.c uib in the morning will keep the dog's teeth clean and tone up his stomach. "Always have clean, fresh and . cool drinking water within easy reach of the dog. Wash food and water dishes every day and sterilize them by boiling t wice a week," concluded Dorothy.

Lincoln Takes Four Events
Fane~· divjng: Won by '\Vest, Omtht Tech; second, Leake, Omaha Tech: third, White,. Lincoln ; fourth, Bell. York; fifth, Jamieson. Beatrice. (New state record.)
Winning by a margin of 66% to 601h, Coach H arry Kuklins Lincolrl high tankers took their second consecutive state championship in the University of Nebraska pool Saturday, March 15. Dick Marshall, only defending state champion of the meet an<i Lincoln's acting captain, came through with firsts in the 50 yard freestyle and the 100 yard backstroke for Lincoln while· P erry Branch took the 100 yard freestyle and Warren Myers took the 229 yard freestyle which were the other two firsts for Lincoln.
ha Tech (Gatzemeyer, · Peterson. -Lea ke, Bartholomew); second, Lincoln ; third, Be-
150 yard medley relay:
Omaha Tech, Lincoln's closest rival, was second with 60% points while Beatrice was third with 15 points, York, fourth with 2 and Fremont, fifth with 0. Tech obtained a first in the 100 yard breaststroke through Straglen and a first in the diving through West while its two relay teams each came out ahead of Lincoln and · Beattrice.
Of great assistance to the Lincoln group were the Peppers whose enthusiastic yells and loud cheers did a great deal to inspire the boys on to a state championship. Coach Kuklin being accustomed fo water was given instructions to remove all valuables from his person and straightway tosse d into the pool by the team for his t raditional ducking with clothes on at the close of the meet. Harry Pappas who is Lincoln's manager received the same treatment. Summa ry : 100 yard free style: \Vo n by Branch , I .. lncoln ; second·, W. Me:i.•ers. Llnr.oln ; third , Sundber~·. Omaha.

H e ro! In the great big coliseum, Where the state tournament was played, There lived a lonely termite, Under the floor he stayed. One day his cu.r iosity got him, He came up from his h ome below, He hugged the floor with caution, So as not to come to woe. A vast crowd did lie before him, But the Peppers caught his eye. A great big foot came rushing for him, And the termite had to die. A tribute to this termite, The s upreme penalty he did pay, He died for dear ole Lincoln . high, In termite heaven he shall lay.
Girls Sports Bugs, bugs, who invented them anyway? Again and again they make their appearances, (th ey a.nd the ir m illion leg s ; in th e s w imming pool. They may not be harmful, but who wants to swim with a bug, harmful or not? Doloris Coons was the heroine last Thursday, when in her first period gymnasium class, she killed one such monstrosity by stepping on it. Dee is only available on certain da ys, so call your bugs when it is convenient for her, if you want them killed. With the weather clearing up, along comes baseball, archery and tennis in the .minds of the girl athletes. Baseball will be under
Miss · Lillian Story's supervision and wlll meet on Monday and Wednesday as soon as the weather pe rmits. This year tennis and archery will be improved upon by Miss Helen Jo Miller. Tennis classes are for those wishing · to learn the game as well as those wishing t o improve it. This class w ill meet on Mondays and Wednesdays and the g irls will play at the Muny tennis courts . Archery will assemble on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Badminton is still undecided as not many girls have signed for the tournament. If there are still some who wish to play and can provide . their . own . birdies and rackets, the gymnasium is free on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Five easy lessons on how to retrieve a ball from the rafters: First assemble several tall girls together. Then select the tallest. Next help the remaining· girls to move the piano under the rafters. Place on the piano, the tallest girl. Put in her hand a Jong pole. Then the selected g i.rl pokes at the ball until it gives up and fall3 to the floor. Oh yes, if the girl isn't quite . tall enough she can stand on a chair w hich is p laced on the piano. Everyone is greatly relieved when the pyramid is no more. Did you know that all drowning persons are rescued . by pulling out the plug? Water safety will be taught by Miss Katherine Kellison, a University cadet, on Mondays and Wednesdays. This class does. not meet on 'Tuesdays and Thursdays as recreational swimming is to be held on these days. The classes will begin after the pool is free, which will be in about a week.
Volley ball, life-saving, and artificial r espiration are now exercised in some classes, "Look out," "Be careful" and "Move" are not heard so .extensively as during the last few weeks when Eunice Way dominated the gymnasium. This ambitious human dug in the files of a ll G. A. A. pictures within the last year and very n eatly mounted them in a huge frame. Now the result h a ngs in the dressing room for all to see. N ice work, Eunice!

Constitution Read To Girl Athletes Highlight of the G. A. A. m eeting Thursday was a panel discussion of the new constitution. Feeling that many of the . club members still did not understand the rules governing them, had led tbe officers of the club to plan a discussion which would bring out the points on which stud ents are mos t often misinformed. "Girls who are interested in a t hletics will come a nd the club does not want membe·r s who are not willing to support it," said F e rn Freeman, president of the club. " W e don' t want the k ind of girls who are only interested in getting a h>tter t o sh ow off. hut we do want girls who are t ruly interested in a thletics," brought out ano ther member of the panel. Harrie t Turner, Jean vVhedon, Marilyn Behm, Jane L awrence, Eunice Way and Bette Nye explained the main points of the constitution to the girls. Basketball leader, Jean W h edon, introduced the new g irls who gained membership through their participation in the basketball tournament. Mildred H ea ton, Bettyrose .Jurgens, June Keane, Dorothy Keh!ing, Donna Kelly, Betty Latta and Helen Owens are th e new members.
Coming Tourney Dates Are Fixed Warm weather is d efinitely on the w a y in, when attention is t urned to outdoor sports. Announcement was made that May 15-17 are the da tes s et for the Nebraska state high school baseball tournament this yea.r., The stat e prep track carnival is scheduled for May 9-10. Usually these two events take place the same week-end, but w ere changed for the convenience of the athletes that are on both track and baseball teams. The annual M-I-N-K track and field meet will be held April 26, it was announced by Peru Normal officials March 3.

which was established in 1937. While in Lincoln high school, he was state h igh school champion for three years ill'" t he 100 yar d free sty le and competed on t h e 100 yard relay team. At the meeting for the boys out for track, Coach Toman issued 12 new track sweat suits and 24 of last year's squad suits. The boys receiving this equip ment do not exactly make up the team. Any boy proving he can do better than those who have the suits can make the t eam. Coach Tom an will have intersquads and boys who do not make the team will compete against each other. Everyone out for . track should ·t r y f or an awar d off er ed by the University of Nebraska. These awards are obtained by earning p oints in any events.
Now that. the Lincoln high basketball team w hich saw an inspired· Fairbury squad nose · them out in the first round of tournament play is definitely through for t he year, the king of sports, baseball, will begin its reign o nce again. Aspirants for · the Links squa d have been pract icing .in the gymnasium and in the basement of the school for t he p ast two weeks and as the weather warms . up will move outside for .t he beginning of hard work. At the present only the lettermen and a few of the boys ,whom Coach Mueller saw this summer are in training; however , as soon as the move outside is made, any lad who wishes to try his skill may report. This year's squad will rely mostly upon the three returning lettermen, Wes Maser, B ob Rubino and Ed H all along with four "Blues'' players of last summer, Connie Healy, H arold Jacobs, Allen Bloom and Bob J acobsen. The players are divided into three groups which work either .:n the sliding pit, on the.· batting range in the basement or in the gymnasium. A schedule has n ot been drawn up as yet but many schools are being approached.
First Call Issued For Golf and Tennis Players The first call for _the golf and tennis team has been issued by Harry Kuklin. All the boys· wishing to t ry out ·for the golf team are asked to report to the gymn asium tonight at 3:10. Boys wishing to try out for the tennis team are asked to report to the gymnasium Thursday a t 3 :10. Ther e are .no · returning go if lettermen so the positions will be wide open this spring. B ob Buxton who last year was runner-up in the Mis souri Valley singles ch ampionship is the only returning letter man i n tennis.

Excellent Organization And Cooperation in Joy Night Rumors spread like wild fire, but no quicker than the excellent organization and co· operation of all those connected in anyway with Joy Night, was exposed. J:!.,or seventeen years Lincoln patrons have been so well entertained by a group of amateur shows put to gether to :qiake one big gala af:fair, that at the present Joy Night has become an institution of Lincoln high.
All those who gave of their time and energy are to be congratulated; the student council who untiringly gave its services to p 'u t on a great show; teachers who gave up their elass rooms for dressing rooms; hall guards who kept the corridors quiet so that otheTS might enjoy the show; property m en who had the unending job of placing the right propertv with its corr esponding act; and last , hut su;ely not least, the partici pan ts w ho made the show what it was. Cooperation of all these groups made the acts run off smoothly; and t he applause spontaneous. After the show a person would surely have the feeling of an evening well spent.
Capitol Custodian V iet()S , Cond1tct of L.H.S. pupils The Capitol building, being one of the most beautiful buildings in the United S t ates, is visited every year by t housands of persons. As a whole, everyone appreciates its beauty, but a few isolated cases involving Lincoln high students have made the authorities threaten to close the doors to those pupils cuttin g thru the building before and after school. Windows on the doors have been broken ' and the doors jammed. Also signs and picfures have been taken down and ele-ct'ric lights broken. A custodian h as been assigned to each door at the hour w hen pupils pass thru and the revolving doors locked to prohibit the students from going thru them because of the damage done. Instead the swinging doors hav e t o be used. The custodian said that as a whole the pupils are very nice and do no har m but that if the small groups who are doing the damage continue, the whole student body will lose t h eir privileges of cutting thru the building.

Gracie Fields; Singer, Comedian, and Idol Of R.A.F. Entertains Many Lincoln Fans Tired and weary after traveling through the United States, Gracie Fields spent Thursday in Lincoln, where she gave a performance at the Coliseum in the evening. This ardent volunteer to the call for aid to Britain was trapped by several reporters in a beauty parlor where she claimed in her broad Lancashire accent followed· by a hearty laugh, "I am being made gorgeous for tonight." Her average performances make more than $6,000, tbe entire amount of which goes for British relief. Miss Fields, who flew to Omaha from Salt Lake. City, Utah, on h er way to Lincoln, left again Friday for Ogden, Utah. Her trip was arranged for her in such a manner that she. was flown to. every engagement. When asked if she liked to travel by air she replied, "I was sea.red at first, but then I convinced · myself that I was riding in comfo'r t while my pals in England are using guns wbe'n they fly. I'll take the airplane to suit my customers, but the terra firma is still for me." Gracie, as she is known to ·the English people, ar rived in North America last June and has been traveling since with her accompanist and secretary, Harry Parr Davies, through the United States and Canada. The idol .of the English Royal
Open Forum To the Editor : I feel that the :recent studel1.t counci~ decision as to the proposed amendments to our constitution was !.mfa ir A.n(I ·1mnemo~ra,tic. Th., home room representatives directed b:y: their constituent s passed them by a large majority and in view of this fact, I do not believe that the council decision should be left standing, unless the members voting aga inst it can justify their vot e. They have not done so and so I, as a citizen of the miniature democr acy, suggest a student referendum .on the matter. JEAN KINNIE. Dear Editor: I fail , to see why the student , council · rejected the proposed amendments t o the school constitution. The amendments were well written and had a good basis. More and more we realize that "democracy is the best policy" and we ought to become as democratic as we can. But we cannot do this when our school officers are picked by such a small mim;irity. Through the new system everyone would have an equal chance as in our state and nation. If the members o~ the council were fearful that this plan would not work, they had merely to look at t,he elections of Whittier junior· high. At t heir elections much more enthu siasm is aroused and each student has "a finger in the pie:" It has worked remarkably well there and snould work the same at Lincoln high. STUART GOLDBERG. Dear Editor: I noticed in last week's Advocate that . a few of the council members made the comment that it was their own affair why they voted the w2"y the.y did and that it was nobody else's business. One of them went on to say tbat this is a democratic society. ·I think that in a democratic society the people should take a n interest in their government and find out what their representatives in the council are doing a.nd why they are doing it. Their constituents have a perfect right to know, but yet some st ill persist in being silent on the matter and that it is nobody's business but their own. The council members are responsible to not only themselves but to the constituents tbey represent. DON PATTERSON. Robert .L. Baker left Lincoln high last fall so that he could go with the National Guards to Fort Robinson, Arkansas. He left Lincoln on January 6, 1941, and is already a sergeant .

GRACIE FIELDS. - From the Lincoln Jour nal.
Air Force and the toast of the British army and navy, with whom she spent a. great deal of time putt ing on programs in E ngland and Franc.e, she is doing a big job in keeping up the already bright spirits of a heavy hea.rte.d British people. In the opinion of Miss Fields, American audiencee react in exa ctly the same way as the· British: they laugh in exactly the same places. Even though Miss Fields delivers her songs and impersonations in several dialects, the Amer~ ican audience seems to have no difficult y in understanding her.
Spring Fever Slows Industrious Students Have you ever noticed . some Of your fellow students during the study part Of the period ? If you haven't, why don't you take a peek one of these days and discover how industrious some of them aren't, now that spring is jui;t around the corn er ar.d the usual fevers i, ~pring "'"·' J;-;v.: ), are catching up with t hem? A few are studying, others are t alking, but the majority are probably sitting there with their heads in their hands and their eyes not on the open book in front of them, but listlessly wandering on the white clouds; blue sky and budding t rees outsid.e the class room windows. These are the pupils for whom a summer of work or play or of both awaits. Some perhaps are going to camp or on ·a family vacation, others .are going to work or stay at home and catch up on their rest. They shouldn't be in such a hurry though, for summer vacation doesn't begin until June 3. But with vacation there always, comes work, for dandelions need to be pulled, lawns mowed, cars washed and err ands fulfilied by the vacationing high school students. When September comes and brings with it school again everyone should be very happy to come back, Until vacation time comes, all of these dream ers and outo!-the-window gazers should knuckle down to school work and summer will get here just as soon and slow as it wants to. Learning to understand r hythm by directing the different tempos is .the present occupation of, Miss Helen StoWell's. music appreciation classes. This is done in connection with the study of the elements of music. "Rhythm," says Miss Stowell, "is the most important element."
Gracie described with eagerness her first visit to the American hairdresser. "When I arrived in New York several people told me t o go and be made beautiful; I thought I was beautiful already but I didn't want to argue so I gave in. "They fixed my hair In little tight curls and when the operator was through, I looked like a dog's dinner. That evening when I ar• rived to make my appearance my accompanist remarked what an attractive hairdo I had. When my husband arrived he said, 'What in the world have you had done to your hair?' 'Oh, I thought I would be made beautiful.' 'Well go and brush it out immediately.' " So three. minutes before she started her performance she was ardently giving her hair t hose hundred daily strokes of a brush, not to make it shine, but to loosen those tight little curls. Gracie Fields, the girl from Lancashire, is a commander of the order of the British Empire .which she r eceived from King George VL for ber good work in promoting the spirit of the troops in France, Belgium and Holland. The songs and impersonations which she gave bad very little to d~ with the war. Her closing n umber in which the audience joined was "There'll' Always Be an England."
Between The Covers "Chad Hanna," by Walter D. Edmond~ . i.~ on e oi tQe :mo~t .a.rrR~·
ing .novels youf e<lit•>r has ever attempted to read. Combine excitement, romance and humor with the early American one-ring circus and you have a little idea of what is in store for you the minute you begin reading; "Chad Hanna." To this new book Mr. Edmonds has devoted three years in studying . early circus history. The r esult is a. narrative which wilJ. be read with increasing delight by those who love history of the Canal country in the '40's and American characters. The story itself concerns an earnest, poor lad, Chad, who was brought up in an orphanage from which he ran away to become a house boy on the Erie canal. When Huguenin.e's shabby liitle show comes to town, its moth-eaten lion, its equestrienne, Lady Lillian, it s superb clown, Ike Wayfish, capture Chad's imagination and he follows it out of town. Caroline, a poor, underfed little girl of 17 also finds comfort and thrills by joining the small t roop. Chad thinks himself in love with the stately bareback r ider, known as Lady Lillian, but ends up by marrying the pretty little girl who ran away to forget. With the circus. they wander in and out of tiny villages that border the canal and for it they perform and fight with all the courage tha.t exists in young man and womanhood. Perhaps, some ot you saw the movie version of the book, but to me the book is superior because eo many vital ,parts were omitted from the movie.

"One program which has no 'axe to grind' is the Chicago Round Table discussion aired every Sunday afternoon," informed Fritz Craig. "The participants informally discuss current issues of the day." "Information Please is g enerally considered a highbrow quiz contest," revealed Mildred Engstrom; "however, the public has indicated that it is a favorite with them." Instead of the usua l question and answer type with voluntary contenders, "Information Please" puts the 'experts on t h e grill' and pays a chosen guest to be on the program. Clifton Fadiman is the program's 'indispensable' roaster of ceremonies. Glenna Buck reviewed "Silver Theater" of which Conrad Nagel is the director. Grace Heims spoke about the "Lux Radio Theater'' which presents movie stars as its guest artists. Cecil B. de Mille is the maste r of ceremonies.

Neiv Pupils Give
Their Comments About L.H.S.
Most Neglected Class In the United States · Is That of the Middle "America's Health" was the topic of the broadcast presented on the Columbia $chool of the Air for the Americas, F r iday, March 21. Four Lincoln high students, Dorothea Lemon, Betty Ja.ne Blackburn, Hugo Briller a.nd Helen K isselbach, discussed the question, "How can the public health be best protecter?" "More medicines are being sold for the prevention of disease than for the cure," it was stated. The middle class is the class that is being neglected most. The lower classes will go to the clinics provided for them, and the upper class ca.n afford to pay the doctor bills. A few people go to the extreme of visiting the doctor for every ache and pain. Some of these cases should visit a psychiatrist instead of a doctor. "Large numbers of Americans either do not get the medical aid they n eed or get it on a chai:-ity basis, which they do not want," Dorothea L emon stated. A short dramatization was presented preceeding the discussion by the Theodore Roosevelt high school of the Bronx, New York, depicting that the upper classes as well as the middle classes suffer from malnutrition. The Panama Canal Zone is an example of how one of the most unhealthful places in the world can be made one of t _h e safest, through organized health activities, such as hospitalization plans and co-operative medicine.

tion of Mis.s Helen Wilson's and Miss Gladys Dana's art apprecia· tion, elementary design and advanced art classes, Tuesday when they went to see the art exhibit at Morrill hall. Favorite pictures seemed to be the huge p ainting of John Brown by Curry, various la ndscapes of Nebraska, both dismal and pleasant, a.nd a starkly dramatic portrait of a woman with uplifted fist staring at a window of a bakery, with her children clinging to her. Title of this picture by Turnb!-111 is "We Won't Starve," and a lthough it is not very pleasant, its force and power brough t rnuch praise from interested s t udents. ·when firs t period was almost up, the students hurried . back to Lincoln high school ai;id in roost cases strolled in t o second period on the dot, so casually that none _w ould suspect they had done anything out of the OJ;dinary that morriing, but bringing back them· s elves, priceless memories of the art treasures they had seen.
England'.fii Aim Is Victory Says English Boy Both Englan"d and the United States have the right men at their heads to lead their country through this war crisis is the opinion of Brian E. Foster, fi!teenyear-old English correspondent of Herbert Norman. " The Allies had a cruel blow struck at them when the Greek Prime Minister, General Metaxas, was called to rest a short while· ago, but our determination to see this s truggle through has in no way been impaired, and our chief war aim is still victory. When France collapsed, we said, "The British Empire stands alone, fighting the wicked tyranny of Hitler and his confederates. but the wond P,:rful :-i.:~. ~tn1.T i=ITP: pv1ng- 11r-;: 1nu.l u~-..s us correct our statement to: The British Empire and the United States of America are standing, arm-in-arm, against Nazism," he stated. Bria n concluded that he hoped his letter would not be sent down on some unfortunate ship, and that he looked forward confidently to the day when there will be no dan· ber of s hips being sunk on the way to the two greatest nations of the world. Herbert obtained Foster"s name while listening_ to an Amer ican short wave station broadcasting an " English h our" directed especially to England and English speaking Europeans. The English boy was mentioned as being desirous of a correspondent and Herbert replied. Donald Desch, graduate of the mid-year class of '41, Warren Miller and Allen W ilson, also former st udents of L incoln high school, have recently joined the navy. Allen and Donald were, members of the baseball team and Warren was on the football squad.

Noisy crowded halls, size, activities and sound s y stem were a few of the . many points noted by new entries in the school. Harris Barber, junior, en.ters from York high ·school. Harris said York high was about one-half as large as Lincoh1 high. One unusual feature about Harris's former school was that it had a basketball team that beat Lincoln h igh. Harris was impressed by the size, the number of activities and the sound system and is interested in Mummers, debate, music, chemistry club and Bi-Y. His main talents a re music and debating. Hailing from Alli.a nee · high school, a. school of about 700 students , com es Ralph H a rold Johnson, junior. Unusual features of Alliance high were that they do not have home rooms and tha t juniors can take American history 2. "I kinda got lost the first day. I thought it would be swell. (it is)" stated · Ralph. H e is interested in basketball, football and swimming. Ralph le.ttered in basketball at Al" liance. Norma Madden, sophomore, comes from Beverly Hills high school' in California. About 1,600 pupils were enrolled but the school was larger than L. H . S . Her impression of Lincoln high was that it was a large ·school wi th great confusion in the halls and· funny lunch periods. R uth Wilke, senior is from Omaha Technical high school, which Ruth said, is about two or three times t he size of Lincoln high. She was impressed by the helpfulness of the office staff in helping h er enroll. She is interested in swimming, singing, skating and dancing. Ruth is the only member of her family in Lincoln.

Balmy Breezes Are Needed With the track shaping up in accordance with the balmy breezes and warm weather, the track hopefuls are getting in trim by charging arouna the oval . in brilliant form .. Many boys are showing grace in the spectacular broad jumps _and in the discus throw. . Training energetically are the big and brawny muscle men on .the shot put and javelin throw. Many boys are working out on the track every day after s chool and Coach Toman has many good prospects. About 85 boys are checked out but there is room for many· more. Being lead by Al Abbott, Fred Bickman and Bill Frantz, returning lettermen, the tracksters are setting a fine pace for this early in the year. All the pits are being put int:> shape by being dug up and sawdust being mixed with the loose - dirt. A prospective dual meet with Beatrice for April 18 was announced.

Shine up those clubs, dig into your banks for those pennies which will buy your balls and practice swinging that golf club around, girls, for the golf tourna· ment is loo-ming up for the future. Is it luck, personality, tennis ability or what, that rates Bob Buxton? You s ee, Bob is the only boy featured in the G.A.A. picture which contains recent sport · activities. · "The early bird gets the worm" is still being enforced in the girls gymnasium in the form of Ginger Null and Jane Lawrence. With tennis coming up, these girls have been striving to improve their much-needed back-hands. Br.Liised shin bones are about all healed up with the basketball tournament over. However, baseball will soon be on, so the ath· letes can once again display their hard earned bruises. Digging into a junior high paper, we found some "dope" on several Lincoln high girls. When in . junior high L aVon Dean, Jean Bennett, Dorothy Atkins a nd Betty Bloom used to engage themselves in a real game of touch football. Time surely changes things, doesn't it? The tennis class has, ·a s a limit, 24 girls due to the number of courts, which is six. However, if more girls desire to join the class a Tuesday and Thursday class can · be organized under a special tennis leader. All dasses are beginning this week so see the instructor in charge. Swimming and floor work will be the work of Miss Lillian Story's second period physical training class. Swimmers are divided into two groups advanced and beginners. As both divisions could not use the swimming pool at the same time, it was decided that the adva nced swimmers should use tne swimming pool the first half of semester while the beginners do floorwork .

Golfers Attempt' High School To Get Birdies Football Aids At U. of N. Equipment Costs . $100 Per Player "High school football helps a chap a great deal to become a member of Nebraska's football squad," declared Biff Jones, Nebraska's football coach, in a recent interview. "A boy must have 27 clear hours and carry 12 hours at present before he can check out a uniform,"' Mr. Jones said. "Equipment costing about $100 new for each player, expenses on trips, are paid through gate receipts. A player spends about three hours every afternoon. practicing, attending chalk talks and dressing. The average height is about six feet tall and weight is about 190 pounds for Nebraska football players." The day before each home game the team goes to Ashland to get away from town. "For supper at Ashland they have soup, steak, baked potatoes, salad, ice cream and milk; for breakfast the next morning they have oatmeal or cream of wheat cerea l, a la rge glass of orange juice, choice of six ounce steak or ham and t wo eggs, and hash brown potatoes. About 11 :30 before the game they have two sliced oranges and milk." With .23 years of this business since 1919, Mr. Jones has coached for Army, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Nebraska. "Foot b a 11," he thinks, "teaches a boy to makPquick decisions." Nowadays an off ensive lineman must do as mucn thinking as a backfield man Ot" more. Experience is very valuable. Discussiong some basic changes in the rules for the coming season the coach said, "The ball may be hande.d forward, behind the line of scrimmage now. The fourth down pass into the end zone is not a toucbback but returned to original spot instead of placi.ng the ball on the 20 yard- line, and a player may be substituted into. the game more than once in the same quarter. " Concerning another rule h e would favor changing, he i;aid, "Instead of bringing the ball back after a forward lateral pass beyond the line of scrimmage. I would have the t eam with t he ball penalized five yards from the spot where tne forward la teral pass occurred."
Robert Gropp Tells Of His Paradise Robert Gropp, '41, in his m a ny letters to Lincoln high pupils, has stated the navy, which he entered February 15, "is paradise." The first morning is just rounds of examinations, with the barracks and clothes given out in the afternoon. L eaves are given on Saturday and Sunday which amount to about 26 hours. Bowling and swimming are the boys' m a in pastimes with an pccasional booked movie. After preliminary tests, .d rill begins in both morning and afternoon. "The day starts at 5:30 o'clock every morning except Sunday when you are allowed to sleep until 6 o'clock," writes Bob.

Junior Play Cast Shows Promise· 14 Members Start Work Starting their work on the junior play "One Mad Night" by James Reach are fourteen members of the junfor class. They are Don Brewer, Roberta Buell, John Conkling, Pat Curry, Barbara Griswold, Mark Guinan, Bill Hol·brook, Betty Jo Leadley, David McShane, Janet Mason, Elden Miller, Aleen Simpson, Barbara Smiley and Dale Wisser. Working as student director is Richard Toren and the secretary is Maryetta Parchen. The sponsors are very much pleased with the cast and think they are admirably suited to their roles. "Although the cast has practiced but a short time, they show much realism," stated Miss Barker. Even after· rehearsing the play many times, the cast is still amused by many incidents. Mail orders should be sent to the auditing committee of Lincoln high school to get tickets early since the play is held only one night, April 25, and tickets will go fast.
Traffic Division Distributes Rules In furthering the campaign for more safety to pupils of Lincoln high school, the safety committee of the student council distributed ·5 00 traffic ordinances, obtained by them from the traffic division of the city council. Because this ordinance, number 3787, is a recent publication by the city council, only 500 were obtainable at that time, but more will be distributed at a later date. The first of the traffic ordinances were .given out to the junior and aenior home rooms as far as the eupply extended. Being equipped with· a detailed index, the traffic ordinances are intended to a cquaint the pup ils with some of the smaller violation.!!, which, because of no · fault of their own, they have been forgetfully violating.

Casein Provides Future Wonders "Food, shelter and clothing are the needs of the human body and milk produces them all," stated George A. Deffenbaugh from a local dairy to the chemistry club last Friday. D emonstrating articles made from milk he proved his point assisted by Oliver B. Shields. Important in the defense industry is a cement made from casein that is used in the construction of airplftnes. Cloth from caesin is manufactured in Milan, Italy, and it has been said that the uniforms of the German and Italian soldiers are 30 percent casein fiber. Nearly all magazine pages a r e made from this product of milk. The casein is used to bind the fiber evenly and for that smooth, shiny surface. Plastics, including a substitute for school blackboards, glossy tiles and even buttons and . buckles are more of t he wonders t hat come from milk. Waterproof and gas-proof cloth from caseia may prove indispensible in the ga'3 attacks of war.

LINCOLN HIGH DEBATER$ qualified to participate in the state debate tournament by winning over Auburn, Plattsmouth, Wymore and Aurora in the cl istrict debate tournament held here recently. Tho Lincoln high lost to Geneva in the finals, the team has a n ex ceptional record for the season, having won 74 per cent of 114 decisi1ln debates. Above, left to right, are Morris Coff, Coach G. A. Kvasnicka. Albert Johnston, .Don Labovitz and Paul Art.baud. The four represented Lincoln in t he di5trict contest.
"Who drew the diagram of the· heart in room 327?" is the ques· tion asked by many people. The answer is Dorette Hoehne. Carl W. Manthey's physiology 2 classes are studying the heart and this drawing has enabled everyone to see better what makes the heart tick. Learning by doing, was the reason for Mr. Manthey's getting a pig's heart. He foresaw the possibility that there would be those that wouldn't want to examine fresh tissue so a. clay model was furnished. He believed the girls would favor the model bµt much to his surprise, in his second period class the girls rolled up their sleeves and went to work with the fresh tissue while the boys worked with. the model. Now Mr. Manthey is wondering who the coming doctors are.
First Hi-Y Club .Organized 1890 Fifty-three. years ago, in the high school at Cliapman, Kansas, a small central Kansas toWn, the first permanent · ()rganized Hi~Y club of America started, according to the Dickinson county high school paper. In the "Memorabilia," a class yearbook; reported, ''.The Y. M. C. A. was organized October 8, 1890, with Dr. D. F. Shirk as tha first president. The association at Chapman. holds. its meetings twice a. month on Sunday afternoons. As jn .many organi.za.tion_s t11e
original d".te is often disputed, a s it is in this case. They usually consider 1889 as the date, although many clahn it to be 1888. One of the other Dickinson county high school annuals states, "A Young Men's Christian Association with a large active membership was formed during tha year. They hold semi-monthly meetings on the Sabbath, and on week days for Bible study." These meetings were held in school classrooms for a while, then the members secured club . rooms downtown. The. meetings were mainly prayer and discussion meetings. Up to 1911 all high school "Y" clubs were under the hame ·of the Y. M. C. A. In Pittsfield, Massachusetts, the club was renamed the Hi·Y, meaning the high school Young Men's Christian Association. The name was coined by Calvin S. Summers, then secretary of the Pittsfield "Y." Three years .ago, 1939, the jubilee convention was held at Chapman. Fifty-eight midwestern high schools were represented. At the time of the convention two charter members were still living. George Corwin, national Hi-Y secretary. was one of the guest speakers. Mr. Corwin spoke to Lincoln high's H i-Y club recently.
Debate Tourney Of Interclass Continues For the second time in two years a team of three girls won the girls regional debate at Wesleyan university Saturday, March 29. The team coached by G. A. Kvasnicka and comprised of Dorothea Lemon, Janice Marx and Jean Kinnie is now qualified for the state meet April 4 and 5 a long with Paul Arthaud, Morris Coff, Albert Johnston and Don Labovitz. The girls won their championship by defeating Aurora, DeWitt, Beatrice and Geneva. The girls decided by a . unanimous vote that the cup be given back to Gale McGee debate coach at Wesleyan to be used for a traveling cup until all tl~e engraving space is used up and the school who has won th~ most times will be privileged to keep it. The interclass debate tournament is well under way with the seniors going into their third round while the juniors are in the fifth round and the sophomores· in the fourth round. The following debaters are still struggling for supremacy, having thus far won their respective debates: sophomor<s Round III. GallatJy ..

Patriotic Contest Deadline Is Set Deadline for the acceptance of patriotic contest manuscripts by the Scribe board has been set as April 4. Other manuscripts will be accepted as late as April. 14.

Questionnaires Revealing Pursuits Of .Students Available to Organizer·s Whether you are a Live Wiie or one of the.three Inembers of the Stooge Club. Lincoln high's leisure committee now has a record of every student in school including detailed accounts of how leisure time is expended. Questionnaires circulated in home rooms last week, provide the infQrmation which will enable this committee to make suggestions on bettered use of time spent outside schoor hours. Extent to which activities are crowded in on a few persons will be ascertained as well as the number who are not active and consequently feel as if they were outside the social sphere. With the duplicate questionnaires on file at the board of education, civic groups will have access to them, locating students who would ·e njoy membership in the particular organizations they sponsor. That certain students devote more than 50 hours a week to radio listening, or other activities of no special benefit has been . <liscovered by the survey. A paradox exists that some clubs in Lincoln high have long waitjng lists, while others are fighting for an existence.
One survey sheet brought to light a boy whose hobby is seeing every movie that comes to Lincoln, a record Which he has not broken for two years. Many fellows with bold strokes•, marked down a goodly number of hours spent in house cleaning and the effeminate task of washing dishes. C a r r y ing the information farther than necessary, a few included the number of hours .spent in appeasing the appetite. S uggestions for hobby clubs ranged from dance to hunting organizations. Students wishing to organize a group for pursuing a special interest can refer to these records to find others of kindred likes. C. O. Morrison is chairman of the leisure committee whose Inembers are Miss .Sarah T. Muir, Miss Valeria Bonnell, Miss Doris Steeves and Gilbert Rogers. Student::; on the· committee include Jean Austin, Mary Lou Holtz and Nancy Green_ I t is hoped that through the picture gained by the survey a new policy may be established between school groups and church, scout, Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. or· ganizations.

Urge Is Made To Help Keep Lawn Attractive Please stay 0££ the grass! Every year this plea is made by the custodians, faculty and other groups interested in making this school attractive. White and black "Please" signs are also posted at places where pupils are most liable to take a "short cut." New grass and shrubbery will be planted when the pupils begin to cooperate. by staying on the sidewalks. Most of these violations are committed during the lunch periods when at regular five minute intervals a group of pupils will come pushing and shoving out of the doors. Some jump over the small .b orders 0£ neatly trimmed hedges and tear up the grass; sometimes they .don't even jump the hedge, but just trample through it. Toward the end of the lunch period the group wanders back, usually still eating some of their lunch. As they glance at their watches and see it is time to get to class they drop whatever they are eating or the wrappers outside the doors or maybe in the corridors and hurry to class. The "Remember Me ' ' is forgotten entirely. Lincoln high school's campus is planned so it could be very beauti£ul and with the N. Y. A. boys and the custodians to keep weeds out and the grass mowed Lincoln high should have one of the most outstanding campuses in this part 0£ the· country. It's your campus, ·What are you going to do?
Easter Day True Spirit ls To Be Remembered Many persons consider Easter day only as g time to show off ·their new spring clothes and they forget the real spirit of the occasion. From early ti.tnes, Easter has been a. day of special importance and .. solemnity among Christian churches, which celebrate the resur:rection of Jesus Christ. Roman Catholics begin their observal).ce of the sacred :festival ()n the preceding morning with the mass of Holy Saturday. Among both Catholics and Protestants, music and flowers are inseparably connected with Easter services. Altho Easter has been observed for centuries, the exact day for commemorating the Resurrection has been a matter of no little controversy. The rule now in general use is that Easter day is always the first Sunday a£ter the paschal full moon; that is, the full moon which happens · upon or next after the twenty-first of· March. . Easter also . doses the 40 days of Lent, which is a Christian fast in preparation for Ea~e~ ·

April 14 will be the celebration of the fifty-first anniversary .0£ the founding 0£ the Pan Amedcan Union, the international organization of the twenty-one American Republics, established when a resolution was adopted on April 14, 1890, by the F'irst International Conference o:f American States. During the last half century, this · has fostered the development of closer economic, cultural and jurisdical relations ·.between the nations of the Western Hemisphere. Pan American Day has been armually observed and has increased in significance through its emphasis on the spirit of peace, friendship and cooperation uniting the nations of the American continent. On this day all government buildings, churches, civic associations, educational institutions, and citizens of the United States are asked to display the American flag.

Color Photography May Outmode Commercial Art
Two L.H.S. Student& Collect Old Glass Shopping f or all kinds of old glass pieces is the hobby of Catherine Sellers and Mary Jean Wegner, In their spam time these glass fiends might be seen in any second-hand store, just spying and r ummaging a r ound for some ancic ent piece of glass, whether it be a vase, a go blet, or just anything ·t hat might t urn out t o be valuable. "The mos t v aluable pieces are those of thick glass and many m olds," explained Mary Jean. "We can hardly ever find what we want and when we do the price .is too high; but it's fun to look around a n yway." Catherine's m other has a large glass collection of he~ own, and that is how the girls became interested_
That color photography may outmode commercial art in some fields is the opinion of Miss. Helen Wilson , head of Lincoln school's art department.

"There are some fields photography ·h as not touched, but since color film has . been developed, there are more and· more adver· tisements and illustrations of v arious kinds that are done With color film." she declar ed .

Of course Mr. Overton , working a long with three other men, takes care of the rest of the animals too.
Most fortunate of all her for mer pupils is Hutton .Webster; who h as been given a Bok scholarship whi ch provides him With all the necessities of life. He is in Maitland, Florida: doing research work on the influence of Spanish art in America, and apparently has time to paint also, for one of his paint ings is in the Nebraska art exhibit this year. Pointing out that all those she had mentioned were boys, Miss Wilson stated, "Boys are most likely to go on with their art work ; perhaps because most girls plan to get marr ied and so do net study so hard w hile boys r ealize that if they w ish to marry they must work that much harder. A large percentage of those who show talent go on and get more training in university or some specialized art school." In spite of t he difficulties ot breaking into any type of art without some form of specialized training, a few of her pupils have gone into art work straight from high school. Billy Goggins is one of these and judging from his experiences, t here are opport unties t o do illustration work in the smaller s hops .and in sign painters' shops which give much valuable experience. "After a student's first semeste!" of art, the teacher can tell whether he has a ny talent at all," Miss Wilson continued, "but .she can never' predict how far he will go or guarantee success for him." However, m ost pupils know from the beginning what kind of work they want to do. Some pupils dislike commercial art work while others prefer it to straight paint· ing.

Raising Guinea Pigs By Devoe
_Class Visits
New Home
Guinea pigs were the topic of Darrell Devoe's speech to the pet club at the meeting held Tuesday, March 25. Through exhibiting five guinea pigs, ranging in age from three days to nine months, he showed the various changes made in their looks as they grow and explained their uses in scientific experiments. "The guinea pig is good for scientific use as its digestive tra ct is a great deal like that of a human being," said Devoe. Of their use in testing cosmetics, he explained, "The ha ir is shaved off 'a small area, and some lipstick placed on it. It is allowed to remain there for a while and if there is no redness or irritation it is safe for the lips: as a guinea pig's skin is three times as sensitive as that of a human being." . Another place where the guinea pig is of good use for scie ntific purposes is in the study of heredity, as a guinea pig reproduces about every sixty days, the refore making possible the study of several generations within a comparatively short pe riod. Guinea pigs are m g rea t d emand, explained Devoe, for scientific experiments, thereby ma king it ve ry ea sy to sell the m ; the prices r a nging from twenty-five cents to three dollars.
Is Designed, Owned By High School Teacher, Miss Elsie Cather Traveling to Miss Elsie Cather's new home at Twenty-seventh and Manse last Friday were the girls from Miss Gladys Dana's fifth period home economics 12 class. Miss Cather, designer of the house, was in her home to receive the girls when they called since she is on a year's leave of absence from Lincoln high where she is ,a. teacher of English. "The bay windows in the living room are what caught my eye first," stated Eris Phelps. She also liked the large kitc:hen with its color scheme of green and cream. Pauline Wall w as fascinated by the "jack in the box" cupboard that brought forth the garbage can when the door wa.'! opened. LaVahn Brandt, Deal Korella and Gwendolyn Reynolds were all pleased with the fireplace in the master bedroom. "Don't forget to tell about the switch by her bed that controls the lights in all parts of the house," put in Marilou Steller a s the girls were being interviewed. The cedar closet caught Evelyn Jacobs' eye while Irene Dittenber liked the. living room paper the best. Margaret R. Smith liked the provencial p r int in the brown paper in the ha ll. "Tbe kitche n w as so modern and light, " said Shirley Wright when asked what she c onsidered the most impressive point about the house. Each girl thought the adventure was very much worth while a s did Miss Dana.

Old Problems Thing of Past Many New Applications To Kinds of Industries Changes Mathematics B ecaus e there are so many new applications of mathematics to science, business, engineering and all kinds of industries, there is not much time for the old puzzle problems which used to be taught in school, according to Miss Inez M. Cook, head of the mathematics department. "Every teacher attempts to improve the m e thods of teaching mathematics so that the pupil may see its relation to his ,everyday liv ing," Miss Cook replied, when asked whether or not m ethods of teaching mathematics have improved any in the past t en years. "Mathematics should not necessarily be required in high school, lsut I do think that ev ery student needs a cC"rtain amount," continued Miss Cook, "a student should have a s much mathematics as the avera ge intelligent citizen uses.''

Two Former Members Honored at Annual Spring Banquet
joint meeting of the home economics and business girls clubs, Monday, March 24. Mr. Wells brought many samples of different kinds of shoes, both sport and dress styles. Alligator and gabardine are to be the most popular materials. Saddle tan is the outstanding color in s pring shoes, blue rates sec ond, black third a:nd brown fourth. Bow s are very s mart on dress shoes, also perforations and braid. In. sport fashions, moccasins are tops. This year they are b etter than saddles. "For the past few years , you have seen saddle shoes, saddle shoes, and more saddle shoes until you arc tired of them," Mr. W ells stated. Every y ear all the shoes follow some certain pattern. This yea!' they follow western patterns. Indian moccasions and cowboy boots. Open toes are still in good tast e. They have been in four s easons and seem to be in for several m ore. The toes are smaller than b efore. H eels on dress shoes may b e boulevard or Cuba n. which is the s ta ndard s ize h eel.
Turning thoughts toward def en ce, the Forum held its twentyfourth annual spring banquet in the high school cafeteria last W e dnesday evening with thirtysix present. P r esident Albert Johnson, as chief defender, introduced t wo alumni,, Ben Alice Day and Robert Alberty, who were guests. Miss Day spoke on university life and declared that college is fun, but it is up to you to decide what you wan t out of it. There are two things which make it fun; that of the joy of a job well done and studying. F ollowing the subje ct of defence R obert Alberty spoke on propa· g a nda as a defence against g etting into war. Propaganda is g ot thru n ews reels, church , magazines, movies, school, radio and m a ny othe r places. According to Robert, the t rouble w ith propaganda is that we don't r ecognize it when we s ee it. He d escribed the seven following for m s of propag anda : N a me ca llin g , glittering g e n e r a lities, tra nsfer, testimonial, plain folks appeal, card stacking a nd the band w a gon form of propaga nda . Taking the letters of the word defence , the titles for the toasts were f ormed. Donald Labovitz g ave the first toast on d emocracy by start ing out w ith a debate. After finding his correct notes he continued on democracy. E nginee ring derived by the second letter in · defence wa s t he topic of a speech by Bryce Alberty who said th a t the engineering for the defen ce program w as the planning or organiz ing of it. Pre dic ting the f ut ure of some of tbe Forumites was N elda Oltma n. J anice Marx f ollow ed with a speech on eccentricity. Neutrality a nd h ow we sh ould r em ain n eutral to thin gs against onr country was discussed by Betty J ane Bla ckburn. Elmer Sprag ue t a lked on convention both pro and con. Morris Coff ended the prog r a m w it h .a discourse on em ergen cy.
Discussion Held By Clef Club Contra st between classic and m odern m u sic was t he topic of a discus sion led by Alene B a bich a nd Arlen e Heinz at t he Clef club m eeting March 26. The g ir ls gave a brief resu me of the old and new comp osers a nd som e of the ir fam ous w ork s. Because Robert J ohnson was una ble to perform P eggy Shelly played a short selection on the piano. L or raine B rille a n d Gre tch en Schroeder sang .

Girls Sports "Come on weather, give
various tournament games started. Girls singles, girls doubles and mixed doubles are the tournaments to be played off.
In the first skirmish of the setson, this year's edition of the Red and Black baseball squad, was divided into two teams, apparently even in distribution of power as in
Florence Rebensdorf and Frieda Schaffer were the finalists in a paddle .tennis tournament held in Miss Lillian E. Story's fourth period class. Florence was the victor with a score of 6-1.
the six inning battle no tabulation was kept but only a slight difference of score was estimated, Friday, March 28.
The word "walk" seems to h ave a peculiar effect on one of Miss Helen Jo Miller's classes. As the bases were "loaded" and the batter had had four balls pitched to her, the umpire, Miss Miller, said "Walk." Accordingly the runners on each base all walked. Well, anyway, it was .funny at the time.

All-American Rating Given To _Advocate "Very GoocP' Is Lowest Grade By getting not Jess than a rating of very good in aIJ scoring possibilities, the Advocate, Lincoln high school weekly newspaper, again gained All-American rating by the National Scholastic Press Association. General news coverage gained a rating of superior. The scorebook commented upon it as being "splendid". Balance brought up the question of giving a little more space to copy of interest to parents and to teachers. It was suggested that stories of class work should include new teaching methods and the value of courses instead of routine accounts. The scorebook recommended that certain types of stories might have hy-.li.ro.:3.
In some cases, stories were rated to have been developed beyond the li.mit of news value. "Non-essential details should be omitted," said the scorebook. Color words are good beginnings and variety is to be achieved in s entence structure. Lead paragraphs must feature distinctive element of the news story. Remarks and criticisms given in th!') N.S.P.A. newspaper scorebook serve as twofold purpose; they provide an agency by which staffs may be aided in giving their schools and communities a significant publication, and they help the staffs in the solution of their problems. Fred L. Kildow, director of the All-Amerfran Critical Service states that the certificates of award for papers earning honor ratings are being prepared now and will be ready for mailing a.bout June 1.

Nevin To Conduct S. D. Music Clinic
The first session of the series of meetings on traffic safety was conducted last night by Sergeant Herd of the city police force before about 100 pupils. More pupils are urged to attend and make up the first meeting at a down town session. With the last (}f the booklets of traffic regulations distributed Thursday, it will be an advantage for pupils to take them to the meetings with them. With the resignation of Gordon Johnson from the student council at the meeting before vacation, because he is now employed and is unable to attend meetings; Arthur Schmale was seated on the council last week, and will serve on the safety committee. A short discussion was held concerning the rearrangement of the E. C. A. point system so as to restrict pupils from dividing their time to the extent that they neglect all their activities. The student council picnic was also discussed but no date has been set as yet, altho it will probably be the first part of May.
Debaters Win Second Place Lincoln Has Rank Of Distinction After a Successful Season By winning second place in the state tournament April 4 and 5 at the university, Lincoln high debaters closed a successful season in which Lincoln won a rank of distinction in every one of the nine tournaments entered. Benson of Omaha ranked first in the state. Lincoln debaters won first place in three tournaments-Benson invitational, Beatrice invitational and the Girls Regional. The Lincoln speakers also won three ranks of second in the seas<;in' s tournaments, second in the state meet, district one tournament, and Wesleyan invitational. At Hastings, nine teams of thirtyeight ente.red , achieved superior ratings and Lincoln had two of these. At the Midland college tournament where forty-tom: teams were entered, only two schools remained in the 1.'ournament after Lincoln was eliminated in the eighth round. Even at the Doane college tournament where L. H. S. debaters went down in defeat. the Lincoln speakers were the only ohes to attain the ranking of superior in the competition along with the· 1941 champions from Holdrege. · Coach G. A. Kvasnicka said, "I shall long remember the 1941 squad as my " eight-ball" squad. They did by far the best. worit when the going got tough. No other group ever did a better job of taking a defeat with a smile and then coming back in the next round to conquer the victors of the previous round." Lincoln's t wenty-one debaters held 148 debates during the season. One hiindred twenty-three of these debates were decision contests and Lincoln won 92 or 74 percent. During the past three yea rs Lincoln teams have won 301 of 379 for a three year 'avera ge of 79.4 percent.
Deserted House Will Be Setting For Action A lonely house in the hills de• serted for years· because of a series of mysterious murders is the setting for the junior play, "One Mad Night," to be presented Friday, April 25, at 8:15 in the Lincoln high school auditorium. Not knowing that the house has a reputation of being haunted Don Cutter, played by Bill Holbrook, and his Chinese valet, Wing, alias David McShane, have just arrived there to find peace and quiet so he can. finish his play. From this point anything and everything happens from talking ghosts to disappearing guests. Many Characters Portrayed.
Now working on this drama are Barbara Griswold who impersonates a stout middle-aged woman with a slightly irrational manner and Janet Mason, who takes the part of an attractive girl of 25. Mark Guinan will. play the part of a tall gaunt man who always carries a gun while Dale Wisser will be a middle aged man who talks like a villain and has a shrill laugh. Don Brewer will be DoCtor Bunn, a man of forty with· a professional smile who talks like a school teacher. A charming and beautiful young girl will be played by Betty Jo Leadley while the part of a mid· dle-aged woman with an evil face and surly manner is the role of Pat Curry. Roberta Buell will be a haughty girl· and her mother, Mrs. T. Ash'"' ington Finch, a woman with a condescending manner, and not very intelligent, will be played by Barbara Smiley. They will be accompanied by Aleen. Simpson as the scary and excitable colored maid. Elden Miller will be a man witi1 hawk like features. And last but by no means least is John Conkling a swarthy, vicious looking man who speaks in a growl, out of the corner of his mouth, Rehearsals Are Improving. Rehearsals are coming along fine according to Miss Elizabeth Barker and everything· should be in tip top condition · fol" Friday night. The sponsors, Mrs. Francis Rein and Mrs. Loretta Babich, are pleased with the play which not only is exciting and mysterious, but also comical. By the time the final curtain falls, the audience will be weak from laughter an~ ready to admit that this play is the latest word in rapid fire hilarity, according to the critics. Beginning by introducing Barbara Schlater, chairman of the advertising committee, for the junior play Malcolm Allen opened the advertising assembly, Friday. Mal· colm finished up by introducing ·Richard Toren, Jack Wendstrand, . and Hoyt Yowell, who were director, cameraman and call boy respectively, in this assembly. The sketch was written by Mrs. Babich, a junior class sponsor. As the curtain pai:ted Jack and Hoyt were setting up equipment to shoot pictures for advertising. Some of the most interesting and exciting scenei:; of the play were then presented before the camera. Seats may still be reserved in room 125 during all lunch periods and before and after school. No one will be seated during the first act.

'Responsibility T ~ America Today And Tomorrow' On his euay entitled "My Responsibility to America Today and Tomorrow" William Todd. a senior, won the local and ·s tate Americanism essay contest sponsored by the national American Legion auxiliary. He received a cash prize from the Lincoln unit and will also be given the World Book encyclopedia In 18 volumes, a gift of the Quarrie corporation.
HMost cherished to me of all those things which form the skein of my daily existence is the privilege of being an American and knowing that I live in a land where men are still free. "! owe an immense debt to the United States of America, a debt that can't be paid in the medium of dollars and cents, but something that forms itself into a number of vital responsibilities which I am honor bound to fulfill. For freedom and comfort and joy, for peace and security and love, I am responsible today and tomorrow. "It is my duty to America to keep her as completely free and as kindly tolerant as she has been for 164 years of mingled prosperity and pain. There n ever was a responsibility like the United States of America· and there never will be. "Today, in the year 1941, it becomes my duty to acquire all that wisdom and knowledge that I will use as a voting citizen tomorrow, as a partner in the greatest corporation on earth. For foremost in the ranks of my responsibilities lies the obligation to be an actor and not a spectator when the wheels of this government begin to move. "And today in the schools of this nation, it is the responsibility of the youth of this nation to know Uncle Sam's successes and failures, so that tomorrow they can mould America's policies. "Today, it rests with me to learn to recognize and believe the truth whenever I encounter it. This nation rests upon a foundation of truth and I shall have failed miserably in my responsibility to it if I yield to the poison of propaganda. ' ' It is my responsibility at this hom to steer a course. wide of synicism for the American way of life. In the misguided youth of Germany, one Adolf Hitler began recruiting his machines of destruction. My responsibility to America today lies in taking one accurate inventory of life here and comparing it with life in any other country on the globe. "No small part of my responsibility today lies in keeping a high standard of morale which, if America stands ·alone against barbarism tomorrow, will be as highly as import• ant as a strong back , But today I've got to prepare both mind and muscle. Sunken chests and scrawny arms will have to be turned into physical fitness. . "But tomorrow I haYe other responsibilities besides warring and death. It r emains my joint responsibility with millions of others of my age to see that tomorrow is America's day in the light of history.

Spring Well Sprung Fails To Cheer Fair Haired Boy Spring well sprung, buds slowly beginning to open, and a strong stench of arnica being wafted about by the breeze, your roving reporter, feeling the urge, set himself out in search of a story for the "Olde Daily Blurb." Putting my nose to the task, I eventually ventured upon a sadly dejected figure who was slowly leaning his sweat s ocks against the side of the oval after a hard evening of baseball practice. On closer inspection I found that it was as I had first guessed, the fair haired boy of the coaching staff and I do mean fair-haired, yes Mr. Frank Mueller. As I approached, he ceased gnawing on a baseball spike, gave me a baleful stare and then sank back into his reverie. I, being of stern stuff, was not daunted by this evident cold shoulder and with a do or die smile gently accosted our learned tutor. " The boys looked pretty good against Creighton Prep the other night, didn't they Coach~" I asked with a hopeful air. " Yes, pretty good," tacitly admitted the usually highly t alkative L . H . S. baseball mentor. "Big stuff pitch ed pretty good ball, didn't he Coach ?" ·' "Yes, pretty good ball, " was the second blurb of our distinguished Coach. I grimly stabbed again, ' ' Your murderer's row was hitting pretty good, weren't they Coach 1'' "Yes, our murderer's row (ha ha ) was hitting pretty good,'' was the informative reply. But I was undaunted by this apparent lack of enthusiasm and rolling up my sleeves put my cards on the t able. In so many words I said, "Mr. Mueller, why ar en't you happy-1 In your first ball game you have subdued the mighty manglers from Cr eighton Prep who thrice beat you last year. Your pitchers were pitching, your hitters were hitting, your fielders were fielding and your catchers wer e catching. Yet you sit ther e like a bump on a log with nary a smile. Come now, and tell this poor scribe what the trouble is so that he can inform your public what the trouble is.'' The fair-haired boy g·ave me a long piercin g glare and then began a long monologue that r an something like this. "Yes, little one, I have a fair country ball team this year. Ray pitched pretty good ball, Healy, Maser, and Hall and the rest of the boys were gunning the ball with vim, vigor and vitality. Our fielding, though not perfect, wasn 't bad, no not h alf bad for a country ball club. But that isn't what I'm worry~-1_j_ 6

"1'\o." I parried, seein g that w e wer e npproaching the root of all the trouble, "then what is the troubl e 'I " "No bat boy, " he moaned. "~o bat boy ?" I echoed. ·• "Yes, no b;1t boy," he r e-echoed.. "Oh to be sure I've got a couple of boys that are plenty okay, they pounce on loose balls li ke a couple of bloodhounds, but they haven 't got that certain something. They have the capabilities but they la ck ex perience. Can yo u train a bat boy in a y ead No you can't . It takes years of hard practice and slaving. Now last year we had the best in the stat e in little Bobby Clouh, but I don't know whether I dare use him a gain this year or not. All t h e opposing t eams hav e him pretty well spotted and stuff. · But I haven't given up hope yet, maybe we'll pull a championship through yet,'' he said, perking up a bit at the last. This was the sad t ale that I wrung from 1\fr. Mueller 's lips and if any of his follov,·er s who read this should happen to think up a solution fo r it. I 'm sure that he would appreciate it.

See-ya, Saps!
Vacation was a happy time for many in spite of the rain, and then again not so happy for others. Lois Schrader spent her vacation among pillows and blankets, recovering from an appendicitis operation, while Dorothy J e a n Browne and Howard Koupal were in Little Rock, Arkansas, visiting their respective fathers who are at Camp. Robinson-, Arkansas. Touring through Missouri and Illinois during part of spring vacation were Billie Lou Shaw and Marcelline Prosser. They visited Billie Lou's brother at Jefferson Barracks. At Scott Field, Illinois, they visited Jerry La Pointe, who was graduated from Lincoln high last January. The girls said that the most interesting part of their trip was when they viewed the St. Louis zoo and saw two pandas, very rare animals brought to the United States .from China. Among other high school students who took trips during vacation are these three Abels, Hazel, Alice and Ann. They visited Washington, the nation's capital, taking in all there was to see, including the cherry blossoms w hich are now in bloom. Winifred Nelson, a member of the Advocate staff, s pent her spring vacation on a trip to Little Rock, Ar kansas. There s he v iewed army day activities at Camp Robinson. While she was there she wrote an article on a rmy life, and .submitted it to th e Lincoln Journal. To m a ke a perfect ending for a perfect trip, Winifred's article was accepted and put in the Sunday Journal and Star With a "byline" for Winifred. During spring vacation Jessie Gentry went home to t h e family ranch in Hyannis, N ebr aska .

Large Number of Counterfeitors Cause Million Dollar Loss of Public Yearly Ch ief F ra nk J . Wilson, w hen h e t ook over t h e leadership of the F . B. I. in 1937 ha d a ve ry gr a ve proble m t o ·f ace. The problem was that of counterfeiting. A very g ood example of counterfeiting is that it is an organized racket w ith underworld connections extendin g to all parts of the country a nd even into for e ign countries. A good example of this is tha t the best counterfeit ever m a de was in E ng land; it w as a $100 g old ce r tificate. The public loss due t o cou nterfeiting in .1935 w a s in ex cess of $1,000,000. One of the s tag g ering thin gs about coun t er f eiting is the almost com plet e ig n oran ce of the public. The average p e:rson ha s little or no knowledge of the quality and charact er of .g enuin e mon ey, currency in p a r ticular. To com bat this force of crime, Chief Wilson. had a f ew s pecially t r ained agent s sent to N ew York to conduct schools, to fa miliarize business men and othe rs w ho wished to t a k e the course in the identify ing charact eristics of g en-
u ine ·m on ey and def ects that sta nd out in fake money. During thi.s sess ion whic h lasted for three m onths, more than 100,000 person s attended. In t he weeks aft er this course was g iven, a marked dec rease of coun terfeit m oney wa s noted ar ound New York. Encoura ged by this, Chief Wilson had a sound motion picture made on counterfeit money. To dat e it has been shown more than 10,000 times before more than 4,500,000 people. Two t hing s everyone should k now about cur rency are the color of the seal. on the n ote and the p ortraits that a ppear on genuine cu r rency. The color of the s eals a re blue for silver certificates , red for United St ates not es a nd g reen on the Federal Reser ve note. The portraits on g enuine notes a re as follows : $1, W ashing ton ; $2, Jefferson; $5, Lincoln ; $10, Hamilton ; $20, °Ja ckson ; $50, Gra nt ; $100, Franklin; $500, . McKinley; $1;000, Clevela nd; $5,000, Madison , a nd $10,000, Chase. Plat es f rom which genuine notes a re printed are of bea utiful a nd
exacting wor kmanship. Most coun· terfeits t oday are m ade by the photo-engraving process, which is incapable of r eprodu cing the delicately c ut en g raved line and shadow values which distinguis h the genuine n ote, particularly in the portrait . These counterfeits will not survive close inspection, s ince their deta il is generally defective and the eyes lack expr ession and vitality . Oft en the back· g round a round the head a nd shoulders is too black or s mudged. . • _11::1 In the last five years the los s from counterfeit money has . . .

Entertain Brazil Replies Girls At Convention By Cable To
L.H.S. Wire Jose Caravello Guest Speaker "IN THE SPIBIT OF PAN· AMERICAN DAY WE WISH TO EXPRESS OUR SPIRIT OF GOOD WILL AND SINCERITY TO OUR NEIGHBORS," read the telegram sent to the Commissioner of Education of Brazil, from the stage, during the A assembly, sponsored. by the home room representatives in commemoration of the fiftycfirst anniversary of PanAmerican day, Monday, April 14. In reply the Brazilian students sent the following cable in Portuguese from Rio de Janerio: "THE STUDENTS . OF BRAZIL CORDIALLY ANSWER YOUR MESSAGE OF CONGENIAL BROTHERHOOD." Si~ed Gustavo Cap· anema, Minister of Education. The Lincoln high telegram, the result of a contest in which 73 wires were submitted and which was the combined text of Opal Holman and Robert Lesher, was sent at the conclusion of the assembly at which Senor Jose Caravello, native of Brazil who came to the United States only a few months ago as a student of zoology at the University of Nebraska, spoke on "Education in Brazil." Senor Caravello told of the advancement of schools in his country, which until 1880 had only parochial schools and only recently introduced coeducation. Schools run from February to June, with 15 days vacation and then to December because of the intense rains. He told how before the PanAmerican conference, most people going to South America from the United States would take a plane, with Argentina as the destination, and, flying over Brazil, would get the impression that Brazil was just one vast jungle, but since the conference more people were seeing Brazil ·for what it really is. Roy Johnson and Jean Austin delighted the assembly group with South American songs sung in the Spanish language.

ADVOCATE SPORTS PAGE Seniors Take Interclass Meet Led by the cinder speedster, Fred Birkman, who grabbed three firsts, the juniors accounted for 65 point s while the seniors were first with 72 . and the sophomores trailed with 12. Because of a strong, north wind blowing across the oval sweat clothes were worn and running was difficult. Fred Birkman, junior letterman, ran three spectacular races. In the 220 yard dash he nosed out Schuckman by a few steps and beat Hughes in the quarter mile by a nose. The seniors were kept in the running by Al Abbott, letterman, who leaped 18 feet 9 inches to win the broad jump, went over the bar at 5 feet 5'\6 inches and ran second in the 100 yard dash. Hall took the javelin with a heave of 152 feet, Pappas close behind to cop second. Neil McPherson stole the field show by taking the discus and shot put. The high jump was won by Abbott, and two other seniors placed third and fourth . The summary:
Wilkinson L~sts Game On Mound After shelling Dick Hanna from the mound in the third inning, the Links baseball team werit on to win its opening game from Creighton Prep, defending state champions, l~st . Thursday 3 to 2. Ray Wilkinson went all the way for the Red and Black, and was seldom in trouble. He was backed up well also, only one error being committed. The defensive star was Bob Rubino who pulled two line drives out of mid-air. He also scored the winning tally on Connie Healy's second hit of the day. Lincoln did the real damage .i n the third frame when Rubino walked, Healy drove a single to right, advancing Rub to third. Maser was hit by a pitched ball and with the bases loaded, Eddie Hall lined a single, driving in Rubino and Healy. The Junior Jays outhit the Links six to five but _they didn't come at the opportune times. Sammy Russo, playing left field, blasted out a triple and a single but otherwise Wilkinson held them in check most· of the way.

If the high ·school at Madison,
l'iebraska, hadn't allowed farm boys to compete in athletics, for the first time i~ 1938, Neb.r aska university would be minus one of the . nation's top miler and two milers, Robert Girut, who hails from a farm four miles from Madison. ' 'I used to run to and from school almost every day," he stated in a chat with a high school reporter, while my pal would ride along side on my pony. Th:at was when I first began to love running and it sure built up my endurance. " Since most of the farmers around Madison thought the farm boys were needed on the farm more than on the athletic field, the high school had passed an ordinance that no farm . boys could compete in athletics. For this reason, Bob'a track career started in his sophomore year at high school. "One of the biggest thrills of my career was breaking the state half mUe record in the state meet,'.' he admitted, "and the other was Madison's relay team winning in a ll but one meet. You see," he went on, "it takes four men to make a relay team and we had :rour men on our track team. By the way," he laughed, "we met Lincoln high that year;" The little two miler who stands five feet s ix inches. and weighs one hundred and twenty-six pounds wears a ·size .six and one-l:lalf shoe. Bob will be twenty March 15. Many people believe a distance runner should be large and powerful. Nebraska's tiny ace ran both the mile and the two mile in the Oklahoma track meet and . won them both. When they think that he had only 15 or .20 minutes rest between th.e two races they realize that it was some accomplishment. Bob will also do this iri.. the Big Six meet against · some of the best runners in the middle west. Some of the outstanding records of his career are a brilliant I minute · 57 second half mile, a fast 4 minute 20.9 second mile, and a 9 minute 41 second 2 mile. Bob, who has three sisters and three brothers, says, "The only thing that comes · ne;i,r being a handicap m ·my running is m y nose. I fell out of a two story window and broke it when I was five years old."
Pupils Receive Golf Instructions Golf pro at Pioneer's, John. Peterson, has been secured by. the physical · education department to give lessons to boys and girls in· terested in elementary golf instruction. Severai turned out at the original call last week, but because a number of candidates were busy on Mondays and · Wednesday s, the meeting dates, the enrollment was kept below the minimum class level. A second call was made with emphasis on the ·excellent instruction without cost in a very worthwhile "carry-over activity." Classes we;re re-organized · t o meet on the night, or nights most available to pupils which proved-to be Tuesdays and Fridays 3.:30 _to 4:20. Registrants were advised to bring own clubs if possible.

Fires, Drought Kill Much Of Nebraska's Plant Life A stitch in time saves· nine and a tree planted now may save you planting nine trees some other time. Many trees died during the p11st winter and many are needed to replace them. Other trees have been lost in the fires, floods and drought of the past few years. Why not start a tree planting campaig·n, to bring back the once more plentious vegetation of our land and thereby increase our wild life. If everyone in the school plants one tree, it would increase to a great extent the tree pqpulation 'of Lincoln. Arbor day should ,be important to Nebraskans for it was the originator of this. day, J. Sterling Morton, who gave us a great park, where the sight of tall stately trees remind us of the Nebraska that used to be and what · Nebnska's soil will produce.
Design of U. S. Flag Dates Back To ColQnial Days The origin of the device of stars and stripes in the flag of the United States has occasioned much discussion, Several theories have been advanced to accouht for the alternatipg red and white stripes. Throughout the revolution many different colonial and regimental flags were used, in which red and white stripes, stars, and the blue field appear in various combinations. It appears, therefore, that the elements which entered into the final design of the national flag were already in cotnmon use in the colonies. On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress passed the r~solution that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red aµd white, that the unien be thirteen stars, white in a blue field representing a new constellation. Because of the annexation of new states, stars were added on to the flag, symbolizing the states in the order of their ratification of the constitution and their admission to the Union. Nebraska being the thirty-seventh state to be added is thus symbolized by the thirtyseventh star.
Will Barton once remarked that the wh.ite of the flag signifies purity and innocence; the red, hardiness and valo'r. Blue is the ground of the American uniform, and this color signif1es vigilance, perserverance and justice.

'Be Kind To Anim.al' Week Organized By Henry Berge April 20 to 27 was the week of the annual observance of ''Be Kind to Animals". Back ih the days when Henry Berge, son of a wealthy New York ship-builder, was beginning his diplomatic career, the law permitted a person to beat or overwork any of his animals. Berge began a one-man crusade for kindness to dogs, hor11es, cats and others. He moved to secure a law protecting the animals. Many nicknamed him "The Great Meddler". In spite of this he kept on with his work to success. Today Americans can thank Henry Berge · fGr his insistahce that we be kind to animals who cannot defend themselves.

To the Editor: A certain incident happened of which I was a spectator one day during my lunch period, that com· pletely upset my forthcoming afternoon. In t:llis vicinity the atmosphere is constantly crammed with the clatter of local street car transportation. Sutj.denly coming from the east and sharply turning north on its timely schedule,. an electric vehicle loomed up from no. where. As quickly as it came in sight, I noticed a familiar member of the alumni gal)antly pursuing the street car, pocket knife in hand, and upon reaching it, he quickly cut the trolley, instantly stopping the car. Many angry passengers de. scended from the vehicle and lost no time in eyeing the many spec· tators and trying their best to identify the no less glowing party. The conductor being an elderly gentleman, had to, for the sake of his reputation of being on time, climb upon the top of the car and try almost vainly to repair. the trolley. The wind was blowing quite hard which added to his dif· ficulty. The part that seemed worst to me was the fact that so many high school boys had gathered to watch the incident, but never once offered their assistance, boys so familiar to the girls and boys of the s.chool, those that are complete heroes in the eyes of the weaker sex when upon the football field or in a swimming meet, the letter men or what have you, that go out of their way to rescue a book intentionally, or unintentionally dropped by an attractive maiden, but could not give a helping hand to any one so badly in need when it was one of their 11et which caused the catastrophe: What about it boys?

A. K. Donovan Relates 'Ifs' Of Journ.alism As Career "Journalism is a highly profit· able profe13sion for the young men and women of today IF .... " The capitalism of IF is stressed by A. K. Donovan who was questioned on his opinion of the future of journalism l;>ased on more than 20 years of experience in that field. Mr. Donovan is now holding the joint position of director of information and personnel director for the Nebraska Works Projects Administration. ''The IF in successful journalism is a willingness on the part of the young reporter to realize that .he is facing a career of hard work, long hours and often drudgery rather than the romance ahd adventur.e pictured in movies and novels of newspaper life," said Mr. Donovan.
Mr. Donovan explained that like Topsy he "just grew up" in the newspaper business. He continued that he started out as· a printer's devil in. a weekly newspaper at Madison, Nebraska. He later worked on such well-known papers as the Chicago Herald Examiner, Indianapolis Star, Cincinnati Commercial . Tribune and Omaha BeeN ews.. On these various papers he served as reporter, copyreader, rewrite man, city editor and Sunday. editor. He recalled that at that time most persons in the realm of journalism came through the doors of
"It is a hard life but an interesting one for the young man or woman fired with an ambition to record history as it is made. It is no vocation for those desiring the life of 'a movie hero. . The young newspaper worker must be alert. He must be pains.taking in details. I recall a slogan once posted on the wall of an editorial room where I worked that tersely told the requirements of a good reporter. It said, 'accuracy, speed; accuracy.' In the viewpoint of the working newspaperman there is nothing better than yesterday's newspaper."

We have seven minutes in between third and fourth periods, but thh! can't be considered as part of the lunch time, as we have to have tirrie to get to our classes too. It seems to me, that if the cafeteria can't accommodate the two sections at once, the privilege, if it can be considered that, should be alternated each semester as ta what section should go first.

Is it fate that prompts the nu. merous trains to rumble along the tracks jul!t as a teacher or student is orating on a specific subject, or is it just luck ? lt never fails to happen eacll day, and it scarcely ever occurs during an open interlude, when no one in the class is reciting. An intermission of several minutes is usually taken to allow the engine. and the many cars to pass by, so as to make it possible for recitation to continue in an intelligible manner. The. train usually chugs along at a slow speed, allowing students ample time to decide on the correct answer to the next question. Sometimes a miniature black-out is experienced, as the smoke from the engine float\! to the windows of the classrooms and produces a grey atmosphere.

"Schools of journalism appar· ently took it for granted that the student was thoroughly versed in spelling, grammar and rhetoric by the time he was ready to study methods of the press," he said. "Thill in nearly all instances is un· true. Correct English is an absolute essential in newspaper work
"The young journalist can be successful IF he trains himself to have imagination enough to see the color, romance and unusual features of everyday life. The young journalist can gain recogni· tion IF he has the tenacity to keep working until he accomplishes the purpose for which he sets out. Seldom can he obtain a complete story by contacting one person.'"

Trains Alivays Seem To Pass At Right Time
other professions and apprentice· ships were served by all, largely due to the lack of any training schools. As schools were started, classroom-trained journalists came in contact with old craftsmen trained by work-a-day experience. He remarked, that he noted one glaring weakness in the newcomers to the profession.
"The average aspirant to be a newspaper technician does not realize the breadth of knowledge he must have at his fingertips. It is not uncommon for the newspaper reporter in the course of a week's activities to have to interview leaders in the fields of medicine, art, Jaw, economic:>, political science and international law and to report these intelligently. The successful newspaper man must study constantly, be abreast of all current events from the activities of the sporting world to the activities of the religious orders.
To the Editor: Some pupils don't like last lunch; others do. But all the pupils in the west section of the addi· tion wonder why they don't receive the full length lunch period.

To the Editor: Why don't we have a mascot? Numerous other high schools do and all the big universities. As I understand it, we did have a black duck and it added a great deal of gaiety and color to our games and parades. Recently in 11. school in the east a bulldog was donated to the school and it is now cared for by one ·of the coaches and provided for by the athletic funds. His expenditures are very small, auch as a license or a brush. Another of my "brainstorms" is to have color cards at the football games to form pictures when held ove.r your head. Perhaps the Peppers would be interested in taking over this idea. It adds so much color to the interstate university games, so why not to high school games ? BOBBETTE BURKE.

Covers It was never expected that Clarence Day's sketches of his despotic parent would make a good play, but after reading his "Life with Father," made into a play by Howard Lindsay and Russell Crouse, you can see why it has been running a year and a half on Broadway. Without vulgarizing the satiric point of view, they have translated Mr. Day's material into a highly popular comedy that re· minds most Americans of home. Since Clarence Day had no plan in mind when he began to write about his father, and never considered himself a professional writer until the public insisted he was, he sketched his portrait into a number of casually related .Parts. But a play must have some sort of form and that is the major improvement made by Mr. Lindsay and Mr. Crouse. Telling any more about the play would spoil the humoroµs surprise in store for you . in the diverting comedy, "Life With Father." To many persons, the idea of a hospital in a zoo is horrible; to others, it is absurd, but to Belle J. Benchley, the only woman zoo director in the world, it is a very essential part of the San Diego Zoo. Mrs. Benchley's book, "My Life in a Man-Made Jungle," is a story of her experience!! with the animal kingdom and makes one of the most entertaining and origi· nal books about animals ever published. If you think that excitement arnl danger end W)len an animal is caged, then read her accounts of a deadly rattler at large, of the handling of two gorillas both larger than the Great Gargantua and many more adventures, all described by an animal lover in a very unscientific fashion. For the pratical-minded, her chapters on construction and running of a zoo are highly informative.

But slill I tried to sati8fy My thirst for some conclusion. I slaved, I worked, I labored long, But ended in confusion,
I don't know why thy problem seems To me quite so refutable, When all the profs have tried in vain, It must be indisputable. And even now, time after time, I struggle for success, But each attempt turns out to be A failure, I confess. In spite of this I'll still go on, With all these odds against me. While all you folks are having fun, My problem will content me. I hope great fame, as my reward, Will come with my solution, B.ut fear my home, as my reward, Will be an institution. -Cliff Wilson.
Student Finds Khaki Brown of Army Life ls Not Drab But Impressive To visit a private in one of Uncle Sam's army camps is more ftm than anything. Soldiers are fine patriots right down to the last buck, and nothing is more impressive than the manner in which they eome to attention, when the colors in mass formation pass by, or when they hear the strains of the national anthem. However, the khaki brown of army life must soon take on a drab hue for these yearlings, because I noticed a visitor in civilian clothes who had his coat ruthlessly snatched from his back by a few soldiers who took turns in trying it on and lamenting in guttural voices about "those days when we wore civies.''
is nothing more than a loud noise. Before maneuvers, soldiers . roll their packs which include enough equipment to furnish a small home comfortably. In the sham battles., they attempt to "wipe out" the enemy employing blank cartridges and tear gas. Not the crack, but "cracked" squad of the camp provid'}d a burlesque on the manual of arms. At the command of "present arms," squad members threw their heavy army rifles to their leader, dropping one being an offense which meant two days on the rock pile.
SaLJ "Thumbs Up" Some altogether new and different two-somes seen at the junior play Friday night were Jack Beers and Jean Oggle, George Howard and Leslie Metheny. Of course there were the almost if not for sure steady deals such as Bob Stratton and Ardyce Kargo, Johnny Messmore and Kay King, Ollie Magee and Ann Chapman, Floyd Pothast and Toddy Ingles. I know two people I bet won't be glad when summer comes, will you Gloria Mardis and Darrell DeVoe? Mainly because Darrell will be working most of the time and that means little dating and especially when he is getting a swell new car for graduation. Poor Gloria! Rats off to the junior . play cast. Miss Barker and the two class sponsors, Mrs. Babich and Mrs. Rein, all worked hard in making the class play a big success.
"Forward, march,'' also had a curious effect as the men went into a routine not unlike something dreamed up by a tap dancer.
Being· somewhat of a dodo, I have labored under the impres· sion that kitchen .police were fellahs that directed traffic to and from the mess kitchens, but a tin soldier informed me that a K. P. meant peeling enough potatoes to fill a good sized washtub. Now I can understand the expression "enough to feed an· army." Soldiers also learn other helpful little home duties such as washing, making beds and darning socks.
A couple of privates contributed a more intimate detail of camp life by explaining the "kangaroo court'• procedure, where company tnen make up judge and jury, and always. bring in a verdict of "guilty." Minor offenses are tried, such as failure to take showers. in which case the defendant is given a G. I. (government issued) bath.
Why they call the officers "top kicks" is still a little mystery to me unless it is from the fact that they get such a "kick" out of send· ing the rookies on errands for nonessentials such as "cannon report." ·)Vhic.h, eonfidentially, I found out

Is Celebrated California Is Birthplace, 1881 Girl Reserves this month celebrate the sixtieth anniverSaTy of Girl Reserve work in tlle United ·States,, In 1881 definite work began in Oakland, California, with
a small group of girls. Now there are 315,ooo· Girl Reserves in the United States. As a part of this service. a Vesper service was given Sunday, April 20. A birthday dinner was held Saturday at the Y. W . C. A. for .all Girl · Reserves, as another part of t1:1e celebration, The theme of the program was "All of the Nations." Verna Umberger spoke on her trip to South America and the large birthday cake was cut. Before the banquet a Girl R es erves program was presented from ·c onstitution Hall in Washington, D. C. The subject of the program . was " Youth's Contribution to the World Crisis." Entertainment for the m eeting Monday was furnished by six girls from the girls' glee club, wlio gave the twenty-thir d psalm in the form of a t alking choir. Adela ide Kloepper sang a solo. · Mrs. Leo Black of Tea.c hers college gave a dramatic int erpreta.ation o f "The L ord's Supper;'' painted by Leonardo Da .Vin.Ci, as it appears on a stained glass w indow in Forest Lawn Cemetery mausoie um. "It is the triumph o! love over hate," and. " the triumph of the spiritual over the material," were the t wo interpretations of the picture given by Mrs. Black. She told the story of the or iginal painting m;i.de by I)a Vinci on a plut!c wall in Milan, Ita ly. As the ·years w ent by, p ieces of the p laster would f all, and destroy the beauty of the p ainting. Late r, it was copied exactly by a m ember of the Saint Francis of Assysia, in Ai!sysia, italy, in stained glass. The figures are twice life size and it to ok seven year s to complete it. The picture n ever appears the same, due to the different ways t he sun shines through the window. Mrs. Black then described t.> ach of tbe apostle~ :uv! <'!xp]a.irierl how art. e"'n h1~ u ~c d in everyday life. Election of officers will t ake place at the meeting, May 5, and they will be inst a lled a t the club spring banquet, May 8. At th~.t tim~. the rest of the cabinet will also be presented.

Mary is a f or mer student of Lincoln high and H elen att ended Irving junior hig h b ef ore they recently moved to Omaha. The girls r et urned to Lincoln with R uth Clark a nd Mary H ope H amilton, who had been t heir house g ues ts during t h e f irst part of spring vacation.

"Having a knowledge of radio theory, practice· laws, radio t reaties, and being able to send 13 words a minute by t elegraph are just a few of the requirements," he said. Andrew has listened to the Ha w a iian islands, Cuba, Mexico, and Virgin Islands, ar;td to most of the states in the United Sta t es. Because of tlie war situation, the amateur short wave radio owners c.a n 't contact a ny foreign s tations, but can talk to United States possessions such a s the Hawaiia islands, which is the farthest s tation to which Andrew has talked. "Radio is an expensive hobby, and interferes with school work· greatly," he admitted, "and it takes a lot of time, but m akes many n ew friends to talk to."

class C license is obtained more than 125 miles from the district examining point. There a re several examining points all over t he United States. The class C licen se is obtained from any class A or B radio amateur. The class B license test is passed directly a t the examining point, and the class A license is very difficult to get because it is a special privilege license. Andrew became interested in radio from books and experimenting a nd started when he was th irteen. He obtained his license in the spring of 1940; a t Lincoln high from C. 0 . Morrison .

This is t he p enalty paid for n ot havin g your camera with y ou-·--rea dy to get those pictures. One suggestion I m ig ht m a ke to h elp you improve you r pictu r es is to g et a filter to fit on the f ront of y ou r lens. Yellow is probably the m os t popular a nd the best general filt er to use. T he r eason for t he y ellow filter is usually to make it p ossible to get good cloud effects. Clou ds alw ays enh an ce a p icture. A ctua lly tile filter helps to render the whole print, both sky a n d g r ound, in m ore nearly the same ton es a nd contrasts that the naked eye sees t h em. Yellow filters come in several different sh ades. The medium y ellow is proba bly best for g eneral pur poses. One t hing to remem ber in u sing a filter is that you h ave to in crease t he exp os ur e . time according to the shade of yellow that is used. W ith the medium y ellow it sh ould be doubled. You should also use a t a ll tim es a len s s ha de, both with or without a filtl6__, __ For further ~tion on the u ses of tbe various f ilt ers come i n and us at J . G.

More Power to Council In Promoting Democracy The question which baffled the hom e room

The main am~~dment ~s th<i:t of letting a pupil i:aise a pet1t1on makmg himself or anot her member of the st_udent body a candidate for the studen t, council, the student governing body of the school. The student raising the petition must hav.e ] 00 mem?er~ of his elass sign the petition. When this is fulfilled. if his schaltstic citizenship r~tings are satisfactory, he be" comes a candidate and his name is put ori t he ballot in the election. 'I'his method is a more derno~ratic wav of choosing representatives, for ever yone cai;, be~ come a candidate or he can raise a uetition f?r someone ·he thinks is qualified for the posit rnn .

Schools Need More Agriculture Courses A question t hat baffles educatiom l a 11d vocational directors, and almost everyone in fact. is this : What will all the no w employed indus: trial workers do when they are left j obless after the war is over1 'l'hey have an idea that moi;t of these workers 'vill have to chaJJ ge their vocations to that of agriculture, if po.ssible. This will be extremely difficult, because this field is seemingly ' ' unromantic'' to many. No matter how irrelevant such a statement may seem, it is bound to hinder t he youth of today and t he chief supporters of our country tomorrow. 'fhere is a need for encouraging the teaching of agriculture in our schools. Some of this has been done, but not nearly enou gh. Th ere are many arguments against this, includin g the one that it will cost too much money. But h ow much more will it cost every per son in . the United States to take care of jobless youth! It is too likely that if a p er son has uo way to turn, that is, if he has no food, n o clothing or shelter and has no honest way in which to get it, he will be forced to steal. It is highly important and essential to cre;ite courses in a.gricultul'e in th e schools to re,·ivc th e interest s of the you1h .in farn1i nl!". a nd m ;ike hi m gallant once again '" hile tilling the 1oil.

Many book lovers will remem• her how "All This and Heaven, Too" was the narrative of a remarkable w oman's . life, loves, children, adventures, and the influ· ence she had on others' lives. In "Beyond Sin g the Woods'' F ygne Gulbranssen has t a ke,n a man descended from Viking s a nd woven his life into the strains of a powerful ballad. F alling into ro· m an tic impossibilit ies, the story has int riguing situations and char· acters, numerous and inter esting enough to put t he book at the t op of my reading list this year. Dag Bjorndal is · int rod uced when near -by villagers come to ask his father's aid in slaying a t errible bear. Playing up the f eud between his father'!! people and these men in the first chapter, Mr. Gulbranssen surroun ds his chief characters with myster y, and t he following strife w ields its influence throughout the book, • R omance ana realism are nicely fused in the two chief heroines, who are the brides of " Old Dag" and "Young Dag," as. they come t o be called.

Open Forum To the Editor: I am writing a comment a bout an a r ticle which appeared in th'° April 30 Advocate. · I have one que stion to ask and I hope there is an answer. The question is as follows : Where . did the student, who wrote about a rmy life, get all his information? If I can get an answer t hat sound~ plausible, I will take it w ithout a whimper, but until a good one is given, my views will remain as they are a t present. The student is very correct about the men being fine patriots. They are, as the writer says, down to the last buck. T her e a re a few points t h at ai:e incorr ect in t his bit of news which I will endeavor to bring to light. Soldiers are gentlemen at a ll times and do not g o about t he camp: snatching clothes from peo· p ie's backs. Not even a r elative of a civilia n has that permission. The w r iter of this ar ticle must be a dodo of i:ile highest aegrc0 a.ac:. it irks me greatly by baving a student ca ll a man of Uncle Sam's army a t in soldier. Was that bit s upposed to be humorous ? (Writer's note-yes.) The write;.h as .another false impression of a " top k ick" and he is not a n offico;: l' but a non-commissioned officer . A ll privat es have their fun but some want to have it all day be· cause they are not p utting their heart and soul into t he job they have assigned to them. Some privates enjoy their duties but t here are others that " goldbrick," an old . slang expression for t hose who di not understand and receive bac k w hat they p ut into t heir job. Another comment: Does Lincoln, as a whole, know when the N ation al Guardsmen left the city? I believe it does not because more than once in this city, as s oldiers m a r ched down the street, a c at call was thrown up about these men being boy scouts. T hey didn't ca ll the R. 0 . T . C. of the univer· sity that name but it was t h e
troops of t he state militia. If anyone wonders where I get all my information, I'll answer h ere. I was a part of the United States a rmy u ntil I was sent homa on a medical discharge. I some· t imes wish I were there, but it is impossible, so I a m now a student of Lincoln high and I read a r ticles by a person who doesn't know what the score is. DEAN HANIS. Editor's Note : The student who wrote about army life is a girl who visited the camp recently. To the Editor: Many students of Lincoln h igh and other s chools also, often wonder why the P eppers do not ac~ company the t eams on out-of-town trips. I t is t rue t hat they earn suffici· en t money partially to finan ce a trip by their candy sales during the footba ll season, but it hap· pened to r ain or snow on every planned date so far. For the last two years from their money earned, the whole P eppers section h a s appeared a t the state· basketball tournament instead of traveling to a n out-of-town game. PAT BECKER.

I am s t udying Spauish, not so much for grades as for an understanding outlook a nd a t olerant feeling toward the people t hat speak tha t lan guage and all t h e languages of the world. To h ave peace, to have freedom and equality•. men must gain a feeling of under sta nding tolerance toward othe r m en t hroughout the w orld who are different from them in · race or tongue. It is h ard for a N e braska pers on to know and understa nd other peoples. We h a ve no ch ance to see a neighbor people living in their own land a nd ther efor e we are apt to h ave very mistaken ideas about those who live in othe r count ries. Unless we are t o take a t rip to a foreign na tfon (a venture beyond most of ou r incomes) ou r sole impr ession of the natives of other lands comes from wh a t we r ead in English , the f ew for eigners t hat we meet, a nd the study of a nother lang uage. The first may be biased, and then pr int can never g ive the f u ll idea of a people. The second is often unsatisfactor y beca use sadly enoug h a g reat m a ny w ho come here are t h e lowest laboring class, tho:ie w ho cannot get a long in their own land, propagandis t s, etc ., who certainly d o n ot give us a f ai r view of a cross s ection of the people they represent . Of the third, it m ay be said that lang ua;,:e can either be the
grea.test barrier or . the finest roadway toward friendly interr acial relations. T he ancient Greek s used to m a ke fun of the Slavs that they m et and traded with by aping the r epetitious "ba·ba" sound that the Gree ks seemed to find in their language. From this j oke we get the word "barbarian" and all that such a word includes. However, it is natural to · dislike or even to fear a language that we do not unders tand whether it is a com · pletely "foreign" tongue or an unintelligible jargon of our own. Ther efore, we dislike the person who u ses the other .tong ue, fear and d read him, as we feel that h e migh t be saying someth ing mean about us or what is dea r to US,
But as soon a s the la nguage i s st u_died, this drea d evaporates. When I find t hat "gracias" is the .same as our "thanks" I do not only stop fearing that word, bu t I am also liable to give the benefit of t he doubt to t h e man who says more in the sam e lang uage. A nd tho I m ay not know a nother word h e sa.ys, I will now f eel that he .is all right because I know a little of his language. When I no lon ger fear him a nd when he reciprocates in t his, a friendship may be form ed. If enough Of these little f riendship s are formed, men can some day live in a )nore h ealthy r elationship t o one a not)ler. If I may help in building up such a r elation.ship, m y time is far from wasted in t a king a foreign language,

Baseball has become one of the favorite sports at Lincoln high. At football, basketball and track meets, persons sometimes go because they want to get their "money's worth" out of their activity tickets or because they want to be in a crowd, Baseball fans come to. games because they like the sport, and not for use of the activity ticket. Some facts to prove this are there are only a few seats, anc;i many have to sit on the ground; it is dusty and dirty, and there is usually a strong wind. Although th~ fans could be discouraged and grouchy, they are cheerful and happy. They sit on the ground, and don't complain because of a little dust, and enjoy the game.

THE ADVOCATE
CALL FOR OLYMPIC TRY-OUTS GIVEN THIS WEEK Lincoln Meets Juniors Won Last Year
Waterloo; Tech Goes on to Win
Price: One Million Bucks?
By 117-67 With Ed Halt
Fral)k Mueller has suffered plenty for something he didn't say the last couple weeks. A picture came out recently of the boys composing the infield of the Red and Black baseball squad and below the picture ran this statement "million dollar infield." This was supposed to be the value of the boys, placed on them by Mueller, their coach, however those who know the red head will quickly say that this statement would never come from him. He never made such a statement. After the Omaha ·South baseball game in Omaha. Bill Conway, first baseman on the Packers squad, made the remark that the Lincoln squad took defeat in the best manner than anyone they had played all year. This goes a long way in proving that sportsmanship at L incoln high is tops. This edition of the Olympics which comes off Friday will be the finishing appearance of the senior class. As sophomores they performed outstandingly and last year as juniors they won the classic. This year they will be shooting the works to make it two in a row.
Hopes for a third consecutive state track championship for Lin~ coin high were suddenly eclipsed as Coach Toman ·announced point winners, Gordon Hall and J ake Bruns, will not compete. A big factor in the current success of Coach Frank Mueller's Lincoln high baseball team is due largely to the big bats of a quartet of Red and Black players led by Rog O'Donnell, who is lea ding the pack with a .429 average. Veteran Wes Maser is next in line hitting at a .389 clip w ith lanky Con H ealy a nd Bob Rubino clubbing 6 for 17 for a .353 av er age. Bespectacled Kevy Phillips a nd W. Maser lead the stolen base department with three t hieves. Again it is the incomparable Maser this time grabbing high honors in the ruri.s batted in, being crcctited with eso1rting seven team m embers across foe p late while being tied with Rubino for .scoring the most runs. Eddie Hall and O'Donnell lead the extra base hit department with Eddie planting a double and triple while O'Donnell blasted out a triple and a home r un; sophomor e Bob J a cobsen got the first home r un of the y ear getting his with the ba ses full in the 14- 1 rout of Seward. Alvie Kirkendall, R ollie Allmon and Maser h a ve also pounded out three baggers while Allan B loom and Healy have two bas e blows to their credit. Harold Jacob has a spotless pitching recor.d with one win and no reversa ls while Ray "Sunshine " Wilkinson has notched two while s uffering two set backs. Jacob ha.s struck out 18 and issued onl y one free pass t o first while lanky R ay has set 14 down by the strike out route and given up 10 bases on balls.
Lincoln Golf, Tennis Teams Enter Stale Coach Harry Kuklin' s Lincoln hig h netters and golfers will journey to the Lincoln Country club courts and Pioneer's golf cour::e Friday and Saturday, May 9 and 10, for their 1941 st a te meets. Entries for tennis ~re Bob Buxton in the sin gles a nd Don McArthur and Morris Coff holding down the doubles.

Seniors Expect To Repeat Olympics, the day of jars, mars and bruises, fun. runs and amuses, will be here Friday, May 9. School will be dismissed all day long and the contests will be ·held in the morning, with the senior picnic in the afternoon at Capital Beach. This gala affair, which t akes the place of "sneak days." which many schools have, is one of the most colorful events taking place during the school year. Events open to boys are the baseball throw, football throw, 40 yard d ash, 75 yard dash, 75 yard · shuttle relay, lightweight wrestling, heavyweight wrestling, a nd the "battle royal." Girls' try-outs for olyrnpics, with the exception of archery, will be held tonight, after school, on the girls' baseba ll diamonds east of the school, under the direction of Miss Lillian E . Story, Miss H elen Jo Miller and Miss Dorcas W eatherby. Archery try-outs will be held Thursday after school. Events open to girls are the baseball and basketball throw, the progressive broad jump, the 40 and 60 yard dashes, and other such events.

The Red and Black tracksters extended their winning streak to four victories by tromping all over their opposition in the great er Lincoln track m eet on the Links' home grounds W ednes day, April 30. Coach Toma.n's Lincoln high trac k team was given very little trouble as it held the lead a ll the way. Bill Frantz captured two firsts to be Lincoln's high point nrnn while Sawyer of College View also t ook two firsts. Although only part of the first t<'a m pR rticipated. many of the re. s erves were entered so as to be able to qualify tor the ;:;ta ~c m<:·:cC and to make the trip to Omaha Saturday. Mos t spect acular e\'ent of the day was the 880 ya rd relay. Tejecka led off for the tracksters and at the end of the first leg of the row Lincoln was running close to la st. Fischer then took position for the Links and left a ll the other runners in the dust. Hanson and then Schuckman carried off to the tape for a time of 1.4.1. The meet was important to all teams entered because boys taking first qualified for the state meet to be run off May 9-10. Lin coln captured ten firs ts and placed fifteen other men. The summary :

Lincoln Half-Miler Shows Sportsmanship To show how great the word sportsmanship lives in the hearts of some of our young athletes of the Lincoln high track team, take notice of the recent track meet wh ere L.H .S. was the victor in tenth annual York college high school invi tational track and field meet. Hank McWilliams, Lincoln's leading half miler, had won the first pl ace meda l in the feature half- mile, and to have the necessary five teams competing in the state m eet, he gave his medal to the half-miler, Howley of Republican City, who needed it t o represent his school in the meet. Seeing this wonderful deed, the boys on the track t eam are all going to help Han!< get an· other medal.

Setting of the opera, a comedy in two acts, is on board a !!hip in the harbor of Portsmouth. The first act introduces the leading characters of the play, such as Little Buttercup, alias Gladyce Eisenach, who comes on ooard and has an interview with Dick Deadeye, the . villian, played by Don Campbell. Plot Becomes Entangled. The captain or Roy Johnson en'ters in a melancholy mood, because his daughter, Josephine, alias Elaine Lebsack, is indifferent to Sir Joseph Porter, Paul Schupbach, who intends to. marry her. She confesses she · is in love with a common sailor, Ralph Rachstraw, or Howard Stacy. The two plan to elope. Dick Deadeye h as learned of the plan and in the second act the two lovers _a re confronted by Sir Joseph and the captain and Ralph is imprisoned. In the end Buttercup reveals that years before she had nursed two. babies, one of lowly birth, and the other of high degree. She had mixed them up and the well-born baby was Ralph, the captain was the other. Sir J oseph orders the two before him, gives Ralph the command of "H. M. S. Pina.fore," and r educes Captain Corcoran to Ralph's ,place as a common sailor. Josephine and Ralph are then married. Committees at Wo.rk.

Proving to be one of t he strong· est, f a sters and wisest cla.sses ever to attend Lincoln high, the senior class or ' 41 ran off with the Olympics program, May 9, downing the sophomores by a score of 78 '/z to 63, with the juniors coming in last w ith 56 % points. From the first the outcome was pr actically decided as the seniors grabbed the lead and, after the second event the closest anyone· came to overtaking them w as 13 points. Tile "day of days" w hen a small soph omore or junior sfi.ould endeavor his ha rdest to make friem1s Wit h those g r eat big s eniors who literally flung every a ttem pt of the juniors back with ease, wh en attempting to take the flag.

ln a Dilemma Like This What Would You Do? Suppose you had plii.nned a party for 400 persons, planned to finance for 400 persons, and fixed the price so that if everyone attended the budget would be met, but when the time came to, claim tickets only 200 were .c laimed and paid . for; who would you do '1 This is the sad tale thatcomes from the committee, who'. is sponsoring the senior party. Four hundred persons signed up to take in the senior ·party, but when the time came to p ay for the ;tickets only 200 persons paid. · Is it fair to the cofumittee who takes pains and valuable time to plan such a:n affair and then when the time comes to sell the tickets only a few keep their word while others give such slim. ex.c uses as going out of town~ It can be exp~cted that a few persons would be called out of town for various reasons, but wheri a large .portion is called 01.lt a.t once it seems ridiculom. We urge every senior that can pos~ibly mah it to the senior JHlt'ty, 1;1 it l I nn<l 11n·.1 pay off the obligation owed by them to the
committee sponsoring the party.
Sportsmanship Prevails At Annual Olympics By the most picturesque group to assemble, .the olympie8 were carried out with sportsmanship that eould. only be had by Ii. H . S. 'l'he seniors ·h eld a large margin inpoints from the start, the sophomores next · and then the juniors. The juniors, never •:'blowing up" nor losing faith that they could win, pulled ahead .of the sophomores several times. When the wrestling match and other games of this nature were over, there seemed to be no bitter feeling·, and it appeared tha t everyone had a good time-.· Olympics were staded way back i1t the G:reek times in some forms such as ours. , They had running matches, jairelin throws and in.any other athletic events from which we have derived our present day olympics and sports. Many of these olympics were held for 11everal days, and sometimes relay races lasted ·a week or more. These olympics. were held to get the good will of the people or some god. Sports·m anship al.Sci prevailed there, just as it prevailed last l''riday in L. H. S. Olympics. Lincoln high should preserve the sportsmanship it had last week, in all the activities, whether it be baseball. or basketball or other games. The sportsmanship that was displayed last Friday: just goes to show, "It isn 't whether you won or lost.. but ho·w you playeJ. the game.''
High School Stude1tts Have Poor Driving Record Many are the times we have seen in traffic safety pamphlets, and othe1· . such books, the phrase, "High school students have the great• est per cent of accident& per number of ' dri vers." .Although we· scoff at the idea and condemn the author, statistics have shown this atartling .fact to be true. ' . Why is. this so 1 .Are high school students naturally reckless 1 We are new old enough to observe laws and regulations ·concerning traffic safety. . Of course, it is fun to "hit 40 in a 25 mile per hour speed limit" but when a policeman cruises alongsipe and· gives one a ticket the .aensation . is entirely different. We should remember th.a t · it .i s our punishment· for not thinking o.f the. danger caµsed when speeding , and not •. just a way to collect more money. One of ·the best 'Ways to sure of traffic laws is to attend traffic. .school, which has as Hs purpose the making of skilled and careful drivers of people learning to drive. It is up to us, the students in the high schools, to erase this black mark that so niars our record.

"Without Fear or Favor" is the motto of journalism if it is to .be free and independent. N eil MacNeil describes in vibrant words the story behind the news in a modern newspaper. From his position as night city editor of the New York Times, he ·sprinkles his narrative of t hoe job· of staff members with entertaining incidents. Illustrating the complexity and specialization of a large city newspaper Mr. MacNeil tells of the thousand and one duties of mar..· .aging editors, and ail the kinds of reporters. The problems of makeup when some special agent as the Lindbergh knidnapping occurs inspires admiration for the miracle!! worked. He relates vividly the difficult.ies involved getting news in a dictatorship and in all Europe during the war. At one time, Mr. MacNeil says, it was actually easier to secure n ews in B erlin and Moscow than in Paris or London. The censorship in .the. latti'!r was new and very mixed-up, too strict one day and lax the next. Describing the effect of propa· ganda on the Amer ic.an people Mr. MacNeil names it "The Devil's Advocate.... How t he people firnt recognized it during the first World · war and how modern dictatorships made such wholesale use of it are told in t h is chapter. Wonders of the future in journalism comprise M acNeil's las t chapter. The place t he newspapet · will fill in the days of television and printed news bulletins in the home is a subject for much debate and wonder. But MacNeil believes that a new and bet ter ncwiip aper will come out of that p r oblem.

"It is to be hoped that the war will have been. finished and better times w ill be broken on for all t he n ations," he continues. Confessing that his English is growing harder to remember, he a sked Louise to correct all m is takes that he hail i;nade and to s end her letter to his father's address because he moves about often.

Advocate Cradle Is Visited . By Staff "Trip trop, trip trop, who's go-. ing through my corridors? " might have been the cry of t he spir it which lives in the musty walls of the old high school building a t Fifteenth and M streets, 30 Advocate staff memb ers made a path t hrough yellowed dust t o the tower room, last week . where, they p osed for a Links picture. They attained the tower room · of the central. building, which is the cradle of the Advocate, after a gloomy march through "tunnels" and up staircases that were posted with. warning signs to "watch your step." As the group . passed over t he enclosed bridge which joins the South building with the Central, some young modern yelled "B reak step, or we'll all perish." Expecting to be challenged by a medieval knight as they rounded a corner, the s taff saw. t he t ower room through a half-light admitted by two portholes of questionable size. There was a gasping for air .as the students crowded themselves into this room. which in 1895 saw the editing of m ore than one hot news story. Through the procedure, the custodian remain ed amused. Taking his keys, he showed t he staff a set of rooms adjacent t o the tower which has been con verted by a WPA project into a pleasant setting for the art classes held there. Good light, a ir and application of paint has achieved the impossible.

'Success Due · To Determination' Says Editor "B oys or girls leaving school to ent er t heir chosen occupations, m ust h ave the determination and the w illingness to s ucceed,'' is the opinion of Sa m Thurber , editor of the Tecumseh Chieftain, after 53 years of exper ience in the journalism field.

Students Girls Awarded Fred Harn1s Aviation Scholarships To Be First In Speal{er At School System Writers Club Press Freedom Ability To Print That freedom of the press is the ability to print the news and not necessarily the right to print it is the opinion of Fred Harms, night editor of the Nebraska State Journal, who was the guest speaker at writers club special meeting last Wednesday. He explained that if the newspaper cannot get the news, its freedom is impaired. "Main influences outside the newspaper that tend to restrain its freedom include censorship at the source, technical difficulties such as in transmission, and withholding of news by officials," this newspaperman expounded in the forceful way which is characteristic of those in his profession. "For example; the Secretary of Navy, Knox, has forbidden the reporting of maneuvers made by United States battleships." Inside impairment of a newspaper's freedom comes from that publication's own responsibility to society, which is to restrict news harmful to the public. Yet, must we refrain from printing that news, Mr. Harms queried. Theorizing, he said that in this world struggle between democracy and Hitlerism, the press should show the dangers and awaken the American public by printing the facts about labor disorders, bungling inefficiencies and war. "lf that's propagandizing," he interpreted, "the times demand its use." Writers club moved to relinquish the membership of those persons who had been absent for two or more meetings and who did not attend the next lime. Election .of o:ficers was postponed until that meeting. "The "Ballad for Americans" with Roy Johnson as soloist was presented at the annual Nebraska Schoolmasters club, last Friday, May 9, by the Lincoln high school choir and orchestra under the direction ·of Hugh T. Rangeler. Paul LeBar. was the accompanying pianist.
Proud :i.re the first pupils of Millard D. Bobbitt's aviation science class, for their names will go down in Lincoln high . history for being the first class to have completed succes11fully an aviation course in the Lincoln school system. As the numerous phase!! of modern aviation were studied they were brought clearer to mind by taking far from dull trips to diff erent aviation centers in Lincoln. Studying theory of flight and airplane structoure near the first of the semester, the class made a visit which took in every department of the Lincoln Flying School. When the study of weather and formation of clouds was studied the class made a visit to the University weather department, whe;·e many questions were cleared up. After a detailed study of aviation communication and radio, the class paid a visit to the Lincoln Municipal airport where they were shown the. operation of United Airlines, radio and weather system which makes up a part of the nation's chain of airlines.
Hi-Y Boys Play In · Robber's Cave Instead of their usual week!y meeting at the Hi-Y Building last Wednesday, the Hi-Y met at Robber's cave for a picnic and a general good time. The boys brought their own lunches which consisted mostly of sandwiches and hot dogs. AfterWayne Kingery and Ralph Hansen; sponsor, had managed tu smoke up most of the cave witl! their hot dog fire, everybody adjourned to other parts of the cavern where sides were chosen and a two hour hour game of kick th~ can was enjoyed by all. The only catastl'ophe of the evening was a pair of broken glasses a nd several sparined ankles caused by some member of the traclc team turning out most of the lights. Next week's meeting will be held in the usual place and time. By mistake Rabbi Ogle was na med as last week's Hi-Y speaker. The 1·eal speaker was Rabbi Harry Jolt of the Congregational Tiferth Israel church.

Those queer looking models that have been on display in the front hall show case are the result ')f two weeks study of the fourth dimension by Miss Inez Cook's algebra 4 class. The students were divided into five groups and each group chose a project to wo1·k on. This is the first trial for anything of this sort in Lincoln high and the second attempt of any high school in the United States as far as Miss Cook knows. She got the idea from a high school mathematics class in South Carolina Which she recently .:)i . visited . "This is merely the mathematical interpretation of the fourtn dimension," said Miss Cook, "and should help some people to realize that there is nothing mystica l about the fourth dim ension." To help understand their models to the fullest extent, the students made posters which definitely pointed out the location .of all the vertices, lines, squares, cubes, hypercubes, etc., that happened to be in their particular representation. Miss Cook exhibited their achivement at the Nebraska mathematics convention. ~ :~<

From an obse rvation carried on by myself I h a ve finally discov~ ered the correct way to study. Never indulging in studying myself, I speak purely from observation. First, drop yourself comfortably over a chair (an overstuffed chair is preferable). You are practically alone except for Dad reading his evening paper, sister practir.ing her piano lessons (you think she'll . never learn) little brother building a model airplane . and mother list• ening to ·'Them, Whom We Love" on the radio. Besides the family group the house i.s quiet. You begin really to concentrate, the telephone rings, you run, · after a race and a razzle with little brother you get the telephone to find someone wanted to speak to Slepperman Super Service.

Receiving scholarships to Oberlin college are two Lincoln high girls, Betty Hertzler and Jeanne Rotton. The scholarships are competitive awards of secondary schools. The college is situated in Oberlin, Ohio, and is the first college to have co-education. Since there is only one teacher to every eleven pupils, much ·personal attention can be given . Betty who has entered many activities in . high school such as Mimes, Mummers, writers, Forum, a member of the Links board, lead in the Mummers play. "Blood Money" and a member of the stu· dent council, decided to accept this offer. Jeanne, who was also a member of the student council, accepted this honoro too. She entered into the activities of home room representative, Mimes, Clef club and .writers club while in Lincoln high and has appeared as piano soloist in numerous programs.
Distributive Class Visits Omaha Tech Bright and early Monday morn.ing, May 5, at eight minutes past seven, four cars from the distributive class left for Omaha Tech. Cecil Stanley, Bruce Gray and Miss Doris Kluver were accompanying teachers. Assistant principal, Otto Hackman, was also a member of the group. They arrived at Omaha Tech at nine o'clock and visited the distributive classes and also made a tour of the school. Betty Keane, who is the senior publicity manager for her class. and Francis Helser, junior manager, met the two members _of their class, Bess Forges and Mildred Hannah. They made also a tour of the print shop and met the editor. The class left for Lincoln about eleven o'clock so that the pupils might be to work at one.

'Rick' Koontz '37 In the Army Now Richard Koontz, Links artist in 1937 and former cartoonist for the Advocate, is one of the many who have gone into training for Uncle Sam at Little Rock, Arkansas. The army is not all marching and shooting runs. Rick, as he is known to his friends. goes to school in the morning where he studies maps, codes and maneuvers. At night he sometimes carrie.s out maneuvers studied earlier in the day or attends a school or journalism. Of course it is not all work for the young private, because there are shows and other kinds of amusement. The show is two miles from Rick's tent. Since he thinks more Of his sleep and the comfort of his f eet, he doesn't go to the show very often. After his year in training is finished, Rick plans to go to New York .and take up his career as an artist where he left off.
Thoughts of Golf Course Caused By Boring Classroo1ns After sitting through a long day of boring classes, letting your mind drift toward the golf course, you h ear the bell and rush home from school to keep your golfing appointment with a group of friends. Arriving home, you quiGkly eat a peanut butter sand wich anci hurry away toward your objecclut; yen: li1 :n,;:, "'.I'll.at was su1·e a speedy trip I madi·." but much to your disgust your friends are waiting on the tee for you and hound you over the fact that you are not on time. The gam,e starts. All goes along smoothly for a while until your little round friend sails gracefully into the thick of the rough .. This, we are told, is the time to u's e the expression, "For heaven's sake." After hunting ten minutes for this misplaceable little object, you give it up and play another ball. Getting a par on the hole makes you r emark wha.t a swell game this golf is. This is quickly taken back as you hook the next ball out of bounds, where it also is lost. After stumbling around the remaining holes, losing five ball s, spending the best of your energy hunting them, you wonder where a. person gets the ambition to go back and play again. The experts say that golf does three things for the many people that. play it : "Builds you up, rw1s you down, and enlarges your vocabulary." .:\'c

Singles in accuracy for sophomores were won by Wesley Traudt with zero over 26 and Esther Buschon handed in a paper with 0 over 39. The best singles in speed for each group were Doris Frahm, a. sophomore, with a 56 for speed. The leading junior was Dorothy Saal with a speed of 44, and qualifying for the seniors was Darleen Wakeman with the speed of 50. Officials in charge of this Olympics were the assistants, Helen E'rascheiser, Jean Schlesselman, Barbara Wise and Imogene Walker, who were always on the guard so as to have the contest run smoothly.

Much enthusiasum and interest of the students have helped to make the dandelion campaign a continued success. Not only have many of the dandelions been removed. but grass seed has been planted on some of the lots. Ratings a.re made by inspectors and the rooms who have been neglecting their lots are noti~ fied. If they fail to improve their lot, it will be taken away from them. Pupils may work any time on their plots and. before school and during school: hours, tools are checked out by Paul Schupbach, Dorothy Johns, Donna McCandless, Dan Ladye, Pat King, Gloria Mardis, Marian Hatten, Harold Fischer, Rose Phillips, Gloria Green, Dorothy Manifold and Bill Green. With warm weather here, there is more promise of having the campus beautiful for the summer. An increased improvement in home room plots was reported by the dandelion inspectors Thursday, April 8. With the chart by the office showing weekly improvements, the home rooms have done some excellent work to keep their, red ribbon to the top. Reports for this week are indicated as follows: G for good, F for fair, P for poor and N for no plot at all. 100 g, 101 g, 102 f, 103 f, 105 f, 107 f, 109 f, 120 f, 121 f, 128 p, 130 g, 135 g, 136 g, 137 g, 139 f, 140 f, 141 g, 142b g, 2.01 f, 203 f, 204 g, 207 g, 208 g, 209 g, 212 p, 214 g, 215 g, 217 f, 220 f, 221 f, 225 g , 227 f, 302 g, 303. g, 304 f, 305 f, 307 f, 309 f, 312 g, 313 p, 315 f , 316 f, 318 f, 321 f, 325 f, 327 g,. 400 f, 402 p, 403 f, 320 g, 326 A f, 326 B g, 226 A g, 226b g, 226c p, Aud 1 f, A2 p, A4 p.

Omaha Tech walked off with the class A honors to fullfill all expectations and cop the state track tournament with .20 more points than its closest competition supplied by Lincoln high last weekend. Al Abbott took Lincoln's only gold medal in a ccordance with a three-way tie for first place in the high jump. It .was the fifth state title for Tech under Coach White and undoubtedly the easiest. Tech's front running gallopers and Harold Price, Scottsbluff's quarter miler, who set a new 440 dash record, took the day's grand show. After Harvey Bridges breezed home in the two sprints and leaped 22 feet 4 inches in the broad jump the exciting seconds were practically all over except the shouting and points came rolling in for a 35 :y, total was the final summary with Lincoln high second with 15 Y:;. By running a quarter mile in a startling 50.7 Price kept his unbeaten record clean. He shot out of the starting blocks and had a ten yard lead till he reached the final strength. North Platte's Harvey Stroud applied the pressure at that point and followed Price to the finish, but he still was five yards short when Price hit the tape and the timekeeper's stared at the time watches. It was a startling 50.1 quarter mile race. Other boys placing from the R ed and B lack dnd<•rmen a re': Bill F rantz

Showing terrific strength at the plate, garnering 13 safeties, and taking advantage of ten errors, the Red and Black took a lopsided baseball game, 17-0, from Seward at Seward, Tuesday afternoon, May 6. Bob Jacobsen , clouting everything in sight for five hits, took the individual hitting honors , driving in three run s and scoring four. "From the time the Links gat hered five runs in the first inning, the outcome was never in doubt. They added one in the second, five in t he third, one in the fourth, three in the fifth and two more in the seventh. John Dean went all t he way for the Links and had the Seward batter eating out of his hand, scattering three hits and striking out t en. He was never in danger of being scored on -unt il the last inning w hen a man reached third base. Connie Healy, Roger O'Donnell and B ob Rubino all collected two hits for the winners.

Kevy P hillips and Allen Bloom collected the only t wo hits off of Onnen, w ho pitched in front of beautiful support most of the game u t nil in the sixth inning when his support wabbled a nd a llowed t hree runs on one hit.

"L incoln vs. Omaha South" is the billing for the opening of th>! state baseball t ournament Thurs• day. T he t ournament w ill con· tinue Friday and Saturday, May 16-17. A ruling has been m ade .which will have only the ver y largest schools in class A A , while schools with less enrollment. will form the class A , B and C groups. Because of the protests of the s maller schools who claimed t hey did not have. a chance w ith the big "bugs" , this change has been made. This r uling, however, m akes it dark for the Red and Black youngsters since to d at e it looks as i! there will be three Omaha t eams, Plattsmout h and L incoln in the . AA group. T he Links have dr opped games to Omah a Tech and South. Therefore the trusty Links warriors ca n hardly be given more than a chance t o f inish third unless they pull t he same stunt as last y ear, when they - had dropped several pre. t ournament games · to· Omaha teams, but were not ousted in t he state meet until Creighton P rep jarred them in the final game. When given the least chan ce, is usually the. time when the Lincoln teams come through as has been . proved in previous years. This being the last season for Coach Mueller , t he boys will be in there giving t heir best as a farewell gif t. The games .will all be held at the university baseball ground, west of the aud itor ium. No charge will be made. Six seniors will be competing in their last state tournament and will pass, along into t hat long string of Red a nd B lack immortals. The graduating seniors will be Connie Healy, Alvie K ir kendall, E lmer . Maser, Wes Maser, Kevy Philips and R ay Wilkinson.

AHOY! 'H.M.S. PINAFORE' DOCl(S MAY 23-24 Nine I. . eading Parts To Be Portrayed Embarking for the second time in the Lincoln high auditorium, the "H. M. S. Pinafore" will be held Friday and Saturday, May 23-24. The first performance here of Gilbert and Sullivan's comedy opera was given in 1918. Captain Corcoran, who is a good man at heart hut has a bad case of big head because of his position, is fittingly played by Roy Johnsen. Only when Sir Joseph Porter. alias Paul Shupbach, comes aboard Her Majesty's Ship Pinafore is the captain squelched. Sir Joseph is Lord of the Admiralty and Knight of the Bath. He dearly loves to tell of his working up from an office boy to his present situation and he estimates himself very highly in his own mind. Ralph Rachstraw, played by Howard Stacy, is an able .seaman. He is a man of sterling character, great bravery and very attentive to his duty. While he is quite humble when a sailor he gets slightly swell-headed when he becomes captain Of the Pinafore. The captain's daughter, Josephine, is played by Elaine Lebsock. She is a shy, beautiful girl who is in love with Ralph, the sailor. Gladyce Eisenach excellently play s the ubum-boat" woman called Buttercup. She is a flirtatious, bold, cheaply overdressed

woman who makes her own living (a thing not very ladylike in t hose days) by meeting boats · and selling trinket s and goods to the sailors so she could cat ch t heir money before it was all spent on shore; B uttercup is an important char· acter since it is her "secret" which brings about the. crisis in the p lot of the opera.

The role of Dick Deadeye is p layed by Don Cam pbell. Deadeye is an ugly sailor who just can't get along wit h other people a nd hence is very unpopular with the rest of the cr ew. This has made h im very bitter and he consistently .spoils people's fun . Other roles a re the boat sw;:i.in played by Robert Romberg ; his mat e. Robert Anderson, and Constance Prusia as Cousin Hebe . There is a chorus of 88 voices and the wh ole production will be accompanied by the orchestr a under the direction of Bernard Nevin. Serving on the d ifferent opera staffs this year are Adela ide Kloepper as advertising man ager and her assista nt s, Mary Lou Holtz and Jack Young.

THE ADVOCATE
Percentage of Voters Decreases This Year The amendment approved several weeks ago by the student council apparently was accepted with open hearts by the pupils of Lincoln high school la.5t Thursday during the primary election, because 42 percent of the pupils voted; Although this is a high percentage, it is not so high as the election of a year ago, the percentage being 50.9 last year. This should be surpassed in tomorrow's voting. Because of this _high percentage in voting, more persons are running the student govern~ ment of the school which is a good sign for democracy in the world, for where there is just one little place where democracy rules it will never die <ii.1t. The students also show by this high percentage of voting that . the younger generation is not always thinking of pleasure titne but also of the more seriom; things in life. The pupils are even showing more interest than most of the people of Lincoln, for when ~he general electim1 was held in May in Lincoln for civic officials, less than 25 percent of the population vot!:)d. Lincoln . high students passed this percentage by 14 percent. '!'he persons who do not go to the polls to vote are generally the persons who ''kick'' about the. way the government is rnn, they have no right to "kick" because they did not do their duty when they didn't vote. The pupils or persons who go to the po1ls vote, and then see the government in a corrnpt state of ·affairs are the ones that have the right to "kick." Another election will he held tomorrow. this will be the general election. It is voui· duty as a member of the democracy of the school to vote ai1c1 raise the pei·centagc oi' persons who vote. You are the only one who can do it!

. To the Editor; Why doesn't Lincoln high have hall dances? By this I mean a school dance similar to a matinee party only hold _it in the halls. The -school could. hire a bana and place it in front of · the office on l!econd floor. · It would be a good idea to place loud · speakers at · the corners of the hall and on other · floors if the crowd was large enough. The price per couple should be not more than 40c and not less than 20c. These parties should tie held from about 8 to .11 :30 p. m. I think that these parties would d1:aw larger crowds than matinf!e parties. I've heard lots .of students say that they thought it _w ould be a good idea, and if must be because they have them in other schools. · Let's not just agree that this il! a good .idea, but let's do something about it. Jack Ferris. To. the Editor: In the May H issue of the Advocate appeared, a box containing the · following words, "Forrey and Gillan for Junior Student Council." Was this space paid for or was it given free of charge.? Has the Advocate .c hanged from a school Pl\Per to' · a :Political campaigning paper? I think it is unfair to other candidates and also the rest of the school. If this sol't of thing is started, ar0und electi.o n time all one can find will be political advertisements, and everybody Funning for office will want his name in the Advocate, in big print, too . At least I think that they should be labeled, "political advertisement," as in the city papers. George Shaw. Editor's Note: The above mentioned advertisement was paid for by th_e candidates. The advertise· ment did not need labeling, because it appeared in an enclosed oox with other regular advertisements. Only ads appearing in tho. news section of the paper need the label. To the Editor: I believe we ought to return to t.hP- n ld sy..tem of taking- final ex ami1;al i_O!"oS. Tha.t is the ri,,y the test is given only the ·one class !:Je
in session. I have been told tha t this _a rrangement was used in the past an<l it would be a good policy to practice again. It. would not only help the students but also the teachers, who' now have to spend long hours after school correcting bushel upon bushel of examination paper.a. Students n·o w hav~ to worry about not only one tes t but also assignments in three or four other classes as well. The aforesaid system would givi? the students a chance to prepare themselves in the best possible way. Off with the new system, we want to go back to the old one. Stuart Goldberg.
Safety ln Shops Being Stressed More Than Ever Safety in the shops,
although
we may not realize it; is being
. Rtressed now more than ever before. When it is evident .as shown in "Accident Facts" that 14 percen t of accidents occurring .in schools t ake piace in the shop, it ·b ecomes evident of • the necessity of cai;tion in . all school ·shops. In a bulletin called "Safety Education in the Vocational School," Max S. Henig points out that the majority of misfortunes result from the slipping of hand tools, from burns, lalls, the careless handling of sharp materials·, inadequate personal protection and from the improper attention to moving machinery. One of_ the important ways in which ~ccidents can be prevented is by keeping the shop neat, that is by k eeping tools in their proper places and leaving tools in their proper order. In some schools, school safety councils !lave been formed and teachers hii.ve cooperated whole-heartedly. The prevention of a.cci. dents is a. big job and it is being ·ca.r ried on at the present time in. a large measure. And it will be .continued until the lowest mini• mum of accidents occur iri the school.

Campus Clean-up Heads Forward Reports by the home room plot inspectors for Friday, May ll:i, were very favorable. In one week the rating of poor· moved from 28 to 8. There were 2$ fair plots in comparison with 22 the week before. With the work of everyon".'O helping, the good plots improved from 16 to 30. Out of the eight plots rated poor, seven had been rated poor previously. These home rooms are: aud. 2, 402, 102, 128, 212, 226 and aud. 4. These home rooms have started to clean their plots with more care. The home rooms who have plots in front of the . school, .who have removed the bindweed from . hetween the hedge and the sidewalk have made a great improvement in the looks of the front campus. So~e home rooms have not done this ·and should do it in fairness tu the other ho~e rooms who have worked hard. The following are the list o.f rooms that were checked~ They are indicated a ( G) for good, (FI for fair, CP) for poor and (N) for no plot. 100 (G), 101 (G), 102 (G), 103 (G), 105 (G), 107 (G), 109 (GJ, J20 (G) , 121 ( G ), 128 (G) , 130 (Gl.

Black .: and white were selected as the official colors of the new Northeast high school at the board of education meeting last Tuesday. These colors were selected because the composing schools have some equipment of these colors. After the school has been established and more important things decided, the student body will :vote on the colors they. wish to have permanently.
The campus was a brillianr. yellow With occasional sp·o ts of green, But now the yellow has disappeared And once again,_ green reigns supreme.

A new bride at Bjorndal and Dag's son finds happiness with his beautiful Adelaide. The romance Trygve Gulbranssen promised in the ·1 ast page!! of "Beyond Sing the Woods" unfolds with drama, wisdom and tender st rength in "Wind From the Mountains," a complete book in itself. The loss of their two son.!, infants, deals a severe blow to Young Dag and Adelaide. Half-grazed with grief, Young Dag wanders toward a terrible mountain crag and he nearly kills himself trying to scale it in a snowstorm. Later Adelaide has two · more son, twins, wh~ live to ca~ry on the_great life of Bjorndal. The first day that old Dag takes his grandsons into the woods is a real scene of human nature. It illustrates the strong love for out~ doors, the perspective on life gained in time spent there, all .of which Trygve Gulbranssen i;luilds into a great monument to Nor· . way. The wind that blows from mountains is a bitter blast for some as it seeks calmly; persistantly to dislodge selfishness and to freeze frozen hearts till they thaw in self defense;

For due to the committee of 100 And with the approval of H. C., A campm1 cleanup was started Which was carried out with glee. The boy.~ all wore their overalls, The girls their gaudy slacks, Together they went out to work And not once did they relax. Dandelions, papers, and bindweeds Filled boxes to the top, And· many heaped-up baskets Kept the campaign from being a flop. Now students and the faculty No longer begin to frown When they gaze upon their campus The· greenest spot for blocks around. - Janet Schalkopf.
Hygiene Classes See Hospital While Miss Ethel l\Iurray'.s class room was used during voting last Thursda y, her classes had the opportunity of visiting Bryan Memorial hospital. Directed through the hospital in groups· of three the pupils showed intense interest as the different departments, and place.!! of interest were , explained to · them. Miss Murray's first period class witnessed a blood · transfusion that was being given to a sm,all boy and it was considered among the most outstanding features of the trip. Modern equipment a nd up-todate methods used in the hospital were shown· and explained to the iitudents. Among the various equipment, the iron lung was demonstrated. The superintendent e)Cplained how casts were made · and how they were taken off of the patient. Billy Bones, the hospital's skeleton, was introduced to the class, although he had no head. · A chartered bus. took .the groups to and from the hospital.

Say "Thumbs Up" I h ea1·d that tlw Senior Party was a 01g ~ucce.,c: Friday mght. Jean Whedon had a permanent smile on ber face all evening that she j ust couldn't wipe off due to the awards given her that morning. That's really swell, Jean , and· I don't blame you for smiling. What I hear it is maybe a pretty good thing that Jane Flemming was with Connie Healey at the party instead of Buttercup (Bill Lee). H ow about that Buttercup????? But I guess Jack Beers and Buttercup had fun anyway. If that's what yo u want to call it. Jan Hoover's main topic of .convers;i.tion lately has been Bob Mc Vicker. What's cooking ... anything special????? H ow about that Jan? Since Shirley King and ·David McShane live in the opposite directions they stay after school for a while and enjoy themselves by walking around the halls to~ gether, then after a while they both merrily go their own directinn homeward. Johnny Jones' hearing is getting to be rather poor or something s e e m s to be wrong with his ears. He claims that Saturday night he either was d reaming or something because . he heard somebody yelling· his name · but who would be foolish enough to stay up as late a s after Johnny gets home. It is a hopeless case but we hope he recovers.

'Driving Is Habit' Six Senior Girls Show Prize Winning ~resses· Says Sgt. Hurd At Traffic School Third Session Sees Airplane View Movies ''Driving a car iS' a habit," declared Sergeant Hurd. ·'you do things without thinking. You do them automatically; you have the knowledge to drive the car. If you have to think the motions out, like · shifting gears or stepping on the brake, you cannot really drive a car." \
(
)
With this statement Setgean: Hurd of the city traffic division opened the third session of traffic school Tuesday, May 13. Pointing out that one learns to shift gear~. stop, and slow down for corners unconsciously, he said, "It is im· portant to form good driving habits rather than bad ones." Emphasizing that a stop sign means a complete stop should be made and not just a shift of gears, he went on to take up the second thir d of the traffic ordinance book. Sergeant Hurd took ·up arterial 11treets, parking meters, brakes and lights, registration of vehicles, who may drive, and advertising on the streets or on cars. "·Wherever an arterial street is marked," he continued, "you are expected to come to a full stop, and wherever there are automatic traffic signals which are actually working you must obey them or be aubject to arrest." The parking meter is the best experiment for timing car parking the city has ever had, according to Sergeant Hurd. Responsibility of overtime parking depends on the owner, not necesarily on the driver of the car. He told that the law says a car cannot stand in front o:( the same meter for several hours, even if the owner puts in the required nickeJ every hour, but it is not always enforced. Usually when

a truck or the like parks in an opportune spot for the sole purpose of advertising the whole day, there is action made. Students also learned that in spite of the discontinuance of the testing station, if the brakes or lights of a car are found to be defective the owner of the car is committing a n unlawful act. While readmg over the limita tions on drivers, Sergeant Hurd stated that although there is nu provision in the law for persons learning to drive who don't have their licenses yet, if the new drivers have a responsible person with them and are not driving dangerouiily, they are never arrested. A film, "Formations," was shown which provided a novel airplane view of what the driver of a car moving down any sti:eet should look out for and ended with this injunction, "Watch out for the car in front. the car behind, t he car beside you and the car around the corner that you can' t see.'' Officer Wiar handed out copies of the booklet, "Here Today.'' Put out by an insurance company, the booklet contains data on accidents of all kinds. The major disasters of 1940, a ccording to this booklet, shows that Oct. 9. a day with ideal driving conditions, traffic accidents all over the country r esulted i n 85 people dead and 1 ,496 injured. The booklet went on with ex amples of several disasters which had m a de front page headlin es, but all of which did not result in as high a toll as the daily traffic death score. If fatalities make n ews, then the nation' s traffic dea th toll is the banner headline story 365 days of_ every year, for no single catastrophe in 1940 m the United States a pproached the daily average o f almost 100 lives lo11t in automobile accidents.

Lincoln Falls After Tight Game, 3 to 2
I
The R ed a nd Black of Lincoln high was dropped from the list of contenders f or the state crown in the first round of the tournament. being overcome by Omaha South, 3 to 2, last Thursday on the Univ ersity of Nebraska diamond in a. tight pitcher's duel. Bob Jacobsen l ed with a sing le fo the first inning, stole second. and a.c ored on W es Maser's liner over s econd to put the Links in the l ead, 1-0. For three innings it looked as though that run would be enoug h to win t h e bat t 1 e, but Bill Mccaw ley, playing center field for the Packers, strode nonchalantly up to t he plate in the fourth frame a nd planted on e of R ay Wilk inson's pet fast balls high over Con H ealy's head in lef t field for a home run. Luska Homers Agai n. In the sixth, w ith Bob Luska parked on second due to a b ase knock, Mccawley r eturned and on an identical hit scored his secorid round tripper of the day, making the scor e 3 to 1 in fav or of the Gate City club. A R ed a nd B la ck rally failed in th e seventh inning. Two m en were out' when Roger O'Donnell singled past second and advanced to third when Redden fell tryin g t o field Wilkinson's fly ball into left field. Wilkinson took second on the play. After fouling off several pit ches, Jacobsen sent a h ot one through the box scoring O'Donnell, but Wilkinson was throw n out on a perfect peg from c enter by Mccawley when att empting to tally. The game was tight -a ll the way, both teams p layin g good b all. "High-pocket" h eld the Packers to four hit~, the two homers really hurting. The Links garnered seven safeties off Tom Srr1ith, most of them coming when they didn't count.
With Lewis Coach Ralph Beechner reports tha t his s oftball team was undefeated this season. Could it be because h e could get no g ames f or his t eam since most high sch ool h ave abandone_d s oftball? . Many hot and excited braw ls have taken place in the s quad games a:id ever y one seemed t o have a good time despite the empty s chedule. All boys r u nning in t he afte1·noon at the York meet ate early. A ccompanied by Joe Toman, they trudg ed to t he cafeteria and found a deliciou s plate of two pieces of toast a nd two half raw poached eggs to pass as their afternoon meal. They told Joe that t bey would .get even and planned to a sk a waite r t o bring him the above meal a t that night 's dinner. They hurried into the cafe and found Joe had previously ordered a meal of steak, potatoes a nd a ll th"! trimmings that round it out. Try it again, boys. Basketball m ay be less i mportant than football in_Lincol n hig:1 school but it is enjoyed just as much . Why not make this sport more attt'active so that the pu pils of this school . could look forwar d to championships in basketball, as w hen N ick Francis, former Lincoln high a lumni, a ttended this school? Ralph Beechner s uggested last season t hat the north side Of the school b uilding where sports cla sses play handball be convertc rl into a basketball · shooting grounds. This could be accomplish ed, he said, by putting up baskets a long the smooth wall of the building at that side. Mr . Beechner predicts tha t there would be a large percentage of increase

'Lefty' Glass, Product of Lincoln High, Hopes To Become Big League Pitcher Few Lincoln high graduates can equal the record of Gayland "Lefty" Glass. H e has been serving balls up from the mound for several years, a nd t hough he is only 20, he is considered one of the state' s ou tstanding t wirlers. When he bcga.n h is career in American Legion baseball circles about seven years ago, it was learned that the well built lefthander had a fair curve· ball and w as immediately placed in the p itcher's box to face opposing batters. Since then he h as come a long w a y. In 1937 he p itched for t he Lincoln Blues who nearly won t h e state American Legion cha m pionsh:p. He spent three years on t he Lincoln high squad as a star ter and lettered every term. Two years ago, the might y Glass_. w ith the help of a well bal-.,_, anced t eam of sluggers behind h im , def eated some of the best . teams in the state and took the state cr own f or high s chool. Last year, due t o the superb hurling of the left-handed curve ball a r tist, the Red and Black a dvanced to the finals of the stat e t ournam ent before being ousted by Creig nton P r ep. I n the tournam ent, Glass st arted on t he hill in three gam es in three d ays . Trying to make base ball a paying proposition, Left y has f or the past two summers spent his t ime with F a irbur y in the Ban John.s on league, winning about ha lf of h is g ames. He is now working out with the same club and seems destined for a s ta r tin g berth . The "Old Man," as h e is known around Lincoln high, is quite a slugger also, as can be p roved by his actions last week in an exhib~ tion game played in F airbury with

Olin B urnett , University of Nt!braska grad uate and pa st presldent of S igma Upsilon, a literary fraternity, s p oke on learning t o write. "Learning to writ e is an art a nd a long job that can't b e learned in one cou r se, in a dozen courses, or per h aps, in a whole lifetime," excla imed Mr. B urnett. TWo points he s tressed as the basic fundam entals of writ ing are : a t horough knowledge of the English language and a g ood g eneral education. "If y ou want to w rite, don't s tudy journalism ," w as one of the surprising s tatements Mr. Burnett made.
He asserted that the difference between writing literature . and writing for; new spapers is so distant that the latter might greatly in t erfere with t h e former.

'l'hese pupils who voted answered t his question when they w ent to the polls and cast their vote for class officers and for m embers of next year's student council. For when they voted they demonstrated that democracy still r eigns. There was an increase in the precentage of voters (the percentage was g iven in t h e editorial of last week's Ad,-oca te), o,-e1· the p ercentage of voters in the primary election held the week b efore.

To the Editor: While reading the Advocate last week I ran across an item which I thought worth while. It was from the column, "In Ot her Schools.," l!tating that the pupils of ,Abilene high at Abilene, Texas, were having their fingerprints taken. I think it would be a swell idea if Lincoln high pupils could have their fingerprint s taken a lso. If a nyone were hurt in an acciden t it would be very simple to identify him . I also t hink that two sets of finger.prints should be taken go that Lincoln high can kee p one and the ·o ther set be sent to Washington, D. C., to be filed. I' m sure that taking fingerprints would not cost very much, so why' don't we t ry it? 'Betty Lake. To the Editor: I think that the school board could set aside one day of our school year for an "I am an Ame rican" day in the schools. I don't mean that we should stay out of school that day but that we should set an example to other school age people of other nations that we love our United States. Wesley White. To the ,Editor: In the Advocate of May 21 part of the report covering the awards assembly was erroneous and misleading. I quote: "Johnson Bea m played No. l Opus 12 No. 1 by Beethoven. He wa!I accompa nied by Jeanne Rotton. " If you will take another look at the progr am you will see that we played a sonata for violin and piano. J ean ne was not accompanying me as is stated a bove, but was as much a soloist as I wa;i. Therefore, in all fairness to Jeanne I believe this dis tinction should be observed. Johnson G. Beam. To the Editor: While v1sitmg Li ncoln high recently I found everything very much the same as when I last saw it. I now attend Centra l high at Omaha. Things are very different at Omaha . Our school is much larger than Lincoln, an d there are no traffic rules. All make out their own schedules and select their own teachers. They ;-;flt ~side onP, •lay when everyone ;~~1n s

Memorial Day Another Memorial Day is here, But sad it is indeed, Have our fathers died in vain ? That thought must not succeed. Today we honored those who died, Wit h heavy hearts w e prayed That our sons and brothers too Will not fight fo r what was paid. Guns a r e roaring everywhere, The ground is r ed with blood. The sky is full of bu rst mg shells ; Men are dying in the mud. God made man and put him here, Our life is in h is hands, He k nows what's going on o'er there, We're all in his command. We p ray to God to end it a ll, It see ms to no avail; But keep faith in H im always And He will lift the veil. 'l'he War will end then for the best At God's commanding hand, And all will be at peace again Throughout the entire land.

F eeling Red-Ridinghoodish la st Sunday, I made a pilgrimage over to Grandma Gmg leberry's neat suburban home. a basket on my arm. I found Grandma e)1gaged in one of h er many pursuits- practicin g shadow-boxing in the basement. After extract ing myself from the "half-N elson" she put on me, I p reRented h er with the basket. Grandma's brea th was comi ng in short p ants, and I warned her a gain that if she didn't give up e ither r oller skating or boxing, h er hig h blood pressure would throw her . She gave m e an assuring slap on the back which k nocked me flat. That Grandma was abou t to shoot the chin -breeze with me I could ascertain by the pa rticula r way in which she eased her 298 pounds to the cement floor of the basement. Be:n g on the floor already from t ha t last ba ck -slap, I pulled up a piece of f irewood and sat down near h er .

In a flas h, the road was strewn with the children, looking for the lost nuts and a wheel. On the opposite side of the road f rom which we had been search ing, the wheel was fo und." With a ker chief, Grandm a m opped her brow. Th e kerchief splashed as she laid it down a ga in. "Why does a wheel cr oss t he road? " I queried, attempting to get back on the subject. "That's what we wanted t o find out, Grandma cont inued, "l!o we st a tioned little Willie to watch out the ba ck window and report a ny losRes, after nailing the wheel back on. By tha t time, all the r ubber had worn off the wheel, a nd it began to wear on the ir on rim. When that broke, we bumped a long on the wood and wore the wheels clear down to the spokes. Having reached our destination , your grandfather declared we would back the trailer in to t he drink, but some ig norant -looking fellow with a fishy look in his eye, bought the trailer for three dollars. Said he wanted to make a flower box out ot it f or his apart ment window." Still feeling Red-R iding hoodish, I said, "1yiy, what beautiful experiences you tell, Grandma!'' Footnote. The tra iler mciclent is ahsolutcly true. Any s imila nty between your t railer a nd Grnndma's is purely your hard luck.

To t P,e w r iters club a dviser for many years, Miss Nelie A. P utney, t he Scribe board dedicated the 1941 issue. Pasting prints of her photograph on the frontispiece of every copy the writers put these words undern eath: "To Miss Nelie A. Putney whose ceaseless endeavor, sympathy an d enthusiasm have been a constant source of inspiration, we dedicate the 1941 Scribe. We hope that succeeding generations of youthful writers may be as for tunate as we, in having so able a leader." Red, white and blue decorate the covers of the 1941 Scribe and pa· triot ism is the first division. " What Americanism Means to Me," by Marion Priest, places first because her words immediately make the reader stop and think what Americanism means to him, personally. In her conclusion were t hese few words, "It's to be so sure in y our own heart that no outside influence can change your · opinion of your homeland." Richard P h ipps, second place, reveals his idea of Americanism with examples of people, events (things that can happen here only) . He emphasizes the part each family and small community plays in the task of passing our k ind of civilization on to posterity. "One Who Serves," by Willis Taylor, is a charact er sketch of a boy who had t he spirit, determination a nd endurance to rise above t he ridicule of his classmates to scholastic honor and t o entering the United Sta tes navy. Variety indeed should be the title of the poetry in the 1941 Scribe. Taking the top place in the ladder is "Son net" by Madge Barton. This has a ll the fresh, delicate beauty of springtime in your own garden. "Tribute" by Betty Hertzler shares t he second place with "Day" by Bettie Fowler. Beaut iful words, combinations give a classic yet naive touch to "Tribute," while "Day" is fanciful and penetrating in its originality. "The Storm" by H arriet Hayes is f ull of vivid phrasing. Donald Bradley's ''Technocracy" is a warning, an accusation, and ,a pleadmg for men to realize their folly. Deep emotion, comic incidents are expressed in the many other ~xccDe "'t pc~m ~
"A11 Itali" n Ba r be r on \VPA," a short story by Madge Barton, is as interesting a s its title. Besides being pleasant t o read and finishing with an amusing climax , this story is so r ealistic that it deserves special mention: In pr esenting the problem of one man, Madge has g iven us the problems of many to think about. "Assassins On Wings" is a dr amatic, human story of the present w a r. Richa r d Davis wins t his second place with a timely, adventurous t ale. "Fate Had a Busy Day" is your editor's selection for a n extremely smooth story, The plot may not be as original, t he local color as realistic as some of t he o thers, but Marjorie E gger writes a story that holds interest every second. "P ostulated Peace" is a humor -

A 1941 Smile Queen was chosen a t N . K. C. high school out of eight contestants. The requirement.e for this honor were drawn up by last year's Hornet 's Buzz staff and execu ted by the teachers. She was j udged on (1) her consistent cheerf ul attitude; (2 ) her ability to induce cheerfulness into others; and (3) her per sonality. She was cho· sen by the male faculty member s of the high school. CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA -PONCE TRIBUNE.
Sen ior Follies comes but once a year to the students of Ponce De Leon high school so it is really a ga la affair. The Follies included a red hot melodrama, "F ireman, Save My Child," a lovely screecher (song-bird to you ) and a devastating rumba number by the members of the basketball a nd football tea ms. The rumba n umber probably resembles our "L" club act in Joy Night. Teachers College high school announces a change to be made, due to the requests of pupils. Modern history 1, which was to have been taught this summer, is not available t o students as the majority of pupils registered for Modem his· t ory 2. ous, satirical essay involving war u pon New York Cit y and t he r est of the United States. Agree with Donald Lodge or not , but don't fall to read "P ostulated Peace." Second place in essay s was given to Betty Schultz " M , Slater" desc ribes a wonderful man who had a philosophy of life that definitely en riched everyone whose life he t ouched. "A Most Unforgettable Character" is the story of a F ilipin o "Boy" by Philip Cruse. If every·one h ad the kindly respectful experience with someone of another race as Philip, t here would be no r a ce prejudice. A lighter touch may be f ound in the ser ious (yet quickly grown out of) problems of "One Giving A F ormal" by Eloise Eckhard and "My Love Affair" by Neale Copple. These will prove to be favor• itei; of the sturlents ot· Y(•11r editor·s dark h or ses lose all their r ::tces .
Most original a nd clever feature of the 1941 Scribe is the " Footnotes" at the back of t he magazine. The " F ootnotes" consist of short, revealing sketches of each author in t he magazine. Arranged a lphabetically, the likes, dislikes and life ambitions of each writer a re presented so that none is dull or r idiculous. Strange as it may seem, only 9 out of 39 desire t o be journalists or w riters. Miss Put ney, sponsor of the fi rst Scribe in 1930, wa s complet ely surprised when the Sc ribe was presented to her by a commit tee of editors and sponsors, Thursday morning. "I have ne ver wor ked with a more faithful, enthusialltic and agreeable staff t han this one has been."

"But nearly everyone, . including myself, has jaywalked, not · downtown, but out in the uncrowded residential district." " Blind persons of Lincoln started a campaign," stated Sergeant Hurd, "so that every blind person in the city should have a white cane. Whenever you a re driving and see the white cane, you should give that blind person the · right-of-way; or when yon are walking, you should help him across the street. It is now a law that only blind persons can carry a white cane," he declared. Going on to section 1404, he told that it is unlawful to solicit rides unless one stands on the curb or sidewa lk. Do not stand in the street. Another law requires a person who drops a bottle or the like in the street to pick up the pieces so no car will get a flat tire as a result of the scattered glass.

Upperclassmen Should Set .An Example .to Followers Another year has passed, and what have we learned? That is up to you to decide. What you learned these past days and months is invaluable, especially to the seniors.· No one can take away from you what you have learned, whether it be little or much. Many things have changed, the maps of the world, great men have died, others have taken their place. Many more men will die in the next years to come, yes, even famous men will die. The seniors of today may be the leaders of tomorrow. Are they prepared 1 That is what they went through school for, to take positions in the World, and to be leaders, and in general learn to govern themselves. Some seniors who do not think themselves prepared to take their place in: the world as yet, .will go on to places of higher learning; others will immediately take their place in the world.. To these seniors, whether they go on to school or go to work immediately, one thing should be kept in mind,. that is that they should set an example, an example to those younger than themselves. And now the Advocate staff and . the rest of the school joins in saying goodbye and good luck ·seniors, we have had a swell time together!
Students Given Opportunity To Appreciate Fine Art To be often passed by without a glance is the fate . of the niany fine pictures which can be found fo the Lincoln high school halls. The only student who are apt to look are those who have been in art appreciation classes and there have karned about the pictures. Until :. person knows they are in the halls he will pass them without interest, but when he has learned a little about them he looks eagerly at all. . Take for instance, the group of pictures around Miss Pound's office. There is the '' Ag·e of Innocence'' by Sir Joshua Reynolds,, a small girl gazes down on all who walk past her with a sweet and understanding smile. Also, a beautiful Madonna and Child by Pahael has her place close by. Scattered through the halls are many other, excellent copies of famous pictures which are merely waiting for a little attention from the many studentswho go by them each day. Start knowing your school building 's beauties, and begin with a ~!')l!U('". Foe 1JH1 p:,. tUl'CS YOU

Wiih this issue another Advocate staff passes on to new conquests. Whether the mem· hers of the staff plan to continue in the field of journalism is irrelevant. Rather that their spJendid eo-opt1ration, a tribute to high school journalism; be considered. more important, although they may continue in some other line of work. As pl'esent managing editor, I want to thank each of the staff members and all who contributed to the success of the Advocate this semester for what you contribute to your school paper to make it what it is.:.....and what you wanted it to be. I 'rn sure Maurine Crawford and Winifred Nelson, past managing editors, will lend' their hearty approval also. To all those connected ·with this semester's Advocate I say, "For your earnest cooperation, many thanks."

To the Editor. In this school et t he present time there are eighteen different English courses offered, a nd several language! . and mathematical courses students may register for. However, there are only two animal sciences offered ; the first, biology, is the bas is for both botany and zoology. Zoology is a complete course, but one semester can not give students the needed time to cover all subjects. Why can't a new course ·be offered with biology and zoology as prerequisites? The number of students registering for this· would. not be large. Probably t hey would fill only one class. This . should not stop any plans, because there are already courses in Lincoln high t hat fill only one class, or enrollment is limited to a cert ain number.

After thinking a. minute Sa:m Poteet gave this helpful h int for s t udying, "I don't study a ll at once," he explained. -"I'll take th~ book I need. read · a page or two, lay the book down for awhile, pick it up a little later, r ead anothe r page a nd so on until I've finished the lesson." In between laying hi-, book down and picking it up again , Sam listens to t he radio. After hour of "good hard" studying this way he goes down to the drug store for "relaxation." Sam is a junior in Lincoln high and stated that he got where he is. topay Ly just that method of studyi1i5. On the other hand. Mn turd Epp «p»11d"' ''1<> greater part of eac h evening studying. "I start studying a t about 7 o'clock," sighs Milford in explanation. " because as soon as I start to study I am constantly interrupted. The first · interruption comes when I have to le t m y dog in and feed hi m . Of course after he's eat en I h ave to play with him awhile . As soon as I get back to studying I have to Rtop a g·ain and let him 9ut. When T m concentrat ing once more m y train of t hought is broken in upon b y my broth er wanting me t o help him with his geometry . Such hindrances keep up all the time I' m :studying." So Milford' s timely suggestion is: "Start to study ea rly . enough so that you can finish your home work regardless of in terruptions ." A student who shall be n ameless for obvious reasons, politely asked w h en interviewed, "Study, what's that?" The interview ended abn1ptly.

To the Editor: .,A.mong the many a wards given out at Lincoln high, I was wondering if it wo ildn't be possible and also quite encouraging for thPschool to sponsor awards for t he ten best stories printed in t he Advocate that semester. These awards could be based on the Pulitzer p ri:i:es with the ex ce ptjon · that no great amount of money be a.warded, maybe some cup or merely the honor a.lone. They could be div ided into ten prizes, having one for the bes t feature story, editorial, news stor y, sport feature, the best book review, the mos.t out standing· outline of the semester, the best box feat u re, topics on art, a nd music. B esides h a ving the glory . there ill of having your s tory printed in the Advocate, pupils can always look forward to m aybe w inning a.n award for such outstanding work.
