Student Council

Shall a student representative body, after six years of succe · fol existence, continue to function in the same manner from year to yea.r? Or shall the activities and responsibilities of uch a group become greater? The latter question should be anwered in the affirmative, according to the student council of this year. In replying "yes" the member have endeavored to suit action to word in all of their activities. It ha not been the obvious or the spectacular that ha characterized the result of the year past, but rather the unapplauded, little-noticed attainment . The aim of the student council ha been to raise the student body above some of the practices of the pa t. Idealistic as the innovations may eem, their re ults have been remarkable and hould become more o in time. Council of pa t years have ucceeded in policing the halls, guarding the stainrnys, and patroling lunch lines. Re- sults thi year may not have been so efficient, but how much better ha been the method! "You Are On Your Honor," proclaim the placard -the only policemen now in the halls . It is thi pirit which has started to permeate the chool. Next year it will gain in strength. The time hould come when cafeteria line and stairways, as well as halls, need no guard • The tudent council of this year ha set the pace.

Phil Sidles wa elected president to lead the council's fir t emester activities. With him worked Sylvia Lewis, vice-president, and Helen Anderson, ecretary At the request of the committee on nomination , nominee for the council were elected by a. new method . Prospective members were examined in person by the committee so that a virtual try-out basis resulted Thu the committee could be ati fied as to the ability, sincerity, and general availability of each candidate After thi thorough examination the committee voted, electing, as usual, forty candidates of whom twenty were ultimately elected by the school.

With Douglas Orr, president; Helen \..ach, vice-president; and Dorothy Howard, ecretary, the second semester activitie were carried on ·and the years busine com- leted . Of several of their project the council members are rightfully proud. They fe l honored that they have been permitted to take part in such accomplishment .

So that the students entering from the grades might have some knowledge of the standards of Lincoln high school and of its activities and organization, copies of the Links, the Red and Black Directory, and 'he Advo cate were sent to the elementary schools. Familiarity with these publications will, to a great extent, relieve entering pupils of the handicap of having to spend their first semester in high school getting used to their surroundings.

In accordance with the council's suggestion, matinee parties have been placed under t.he supervision of a joint student body and student council committee. Less direct snpervi ion, but a full measure of responsibility is left to the council. Better student cooperation and more successful parties have resulted. Free parties with volunteer mnsic have been in vogue throughout the season. The democratizing effect of this plan is evident.

The radio club, recommended and organized last year under student council guidance, has grown and is now a recognized high school institution. The sugge ted freshman boys club has been placed in the hands of the boys themselves who are to apply for aid whenever they desire to organize .

.The often-suggested projection machine was finally selected, ordered, and installed. The value of th 0 rnachine to the science, historv, art, and English departments will increase as it is used. Visual education i gaining in popularity and usefulness throughout the country.

The introduction of the student council bulletin has been one of the features of the vear. Through this medium all proiects and activitie of the council are com- municated directly to the student bodv. Cooperation and svmpathy with these proiects has b ~en increased materially through the better understanding thus created. There is nermaneut nlace for snch a periorlical p11blic::ition.

Stationery, embossed with the initial~ of the Lincoln high school. was placed on sale by a committee from the council. Man~· boxes sold quickly. °'~Then an official hi!!h school eal has been adopted, the demand for stationery with the new symbol will prmride a piece of work for the council of next fall.

The combining of the honor sy tem wjth the superns10n of student committees has reduced the running out of cla s rooms and through the halls to the cafeteria. The practice of jmnping into lunch line out of turn has also been reduced by this metho_d. After a few d~ys of committee ,vork, followed by sugge tions through the bulletm from the council, most of the students needed no further reminder. These practices have been reduced to a minimum. A committee has reported each week on hall conditions so that all necessary steps may be taken. For aesthetic and sanitary rea~ons •war was waged against those students who threw papers and half-eaten lunches m the halls. The student council members aided materially in thi clean-up campaign.

At the reque t of both student and teachers, the tudent council took active step toward the incorporation of a course in form and manners into the high school curriculum. It i felt that such a course will become immensely popular as well as highly beneficial.

The part played by the members of the student council in gaining support for the new wall, which is to enclose the athletic field west of the high school building, is not to be overlooked. Many weeks before the stuaent body had an inkling of the moYement for the wall, the council was listening to the proposed plans, making suggestions, assuring the faculty committee of the student upport, and helping to determine the sources of revenue available for the project. ,vith a committee from the faculty, a group of student council members visited the board of education to ask permission to undertake the great ta k. The consent of the board obtained, the council helped introduce the project to the student body. A long bulletin outlined the proposition and told the students what they must face if they were to construct the wall. Council members gave information in any home rooms where students had failed to understand the bulletin or desired additional information. Later, when the whole question was being voted upon, the student council members, confident in their abilit~r to help, and sure of the student body which they represented, campaigned and manouvered for the support of the school. Only a dozen or so negative votes were cast There is more work to come, but the council will do it.

The Links creed, drawn up by a member at the request of the council, has been approved. In its few sentences are to be found the fundamental attitude of the Lincoln high school in its :relations to all athletic contests. This creed will be cast on a bronze tablet, if present recommendations are approved, and mounted near the entrance of the new stadium.

This is a brief review of the ·numerous activities of the student council. The routine work has not been mentioned nor have many of the maller task , but they have been done creditably . The members of the council hope that the work which has been started this year will be carried on with the continued support of all the students. The spirit of honor must be strengthened and must be taught to all new students. The members feel that this is the only route to the right type of school spirit-the type that manifests itself in the little things and in the common things as much as in those of a more spectacular nature. It is easier to build stadiums than to keep order in the halls by the honor system It is easier to give matinee parties, dedicate statues, and purchase trophy cases than it is to make all the citizens of this high school community feel a comm~n responsibility in the halls and class rooms. The student council feels that it has started a great movement. It wants its successors to keep on going in the right direction. Only when a real sense of obligation and duty is felt and acted upon by every high school student may the council say, '' At last we have attained."

Pershing Assembly

General John J. Per:;hing, commander-in-chief of the American army, honor ed Lincoln high chool by peaking in a embly April 10. The a s ~em.bly wa • held to commemorate the ixth anni Yer ·ar_v of America's entrance into the ,Yorld ,Yar.

General Per:;hing' , peech concerned hi boyhood life and the problem which confront the citizen of today. He al so tated hi Yiew on militari rn and citizenship.

' ·Being an American mean s nothing if we do not ass ume the obligation that it stand for," said the general. "I hudder when I think of the problem which are being handed down to this generation,' he also said. ''The preYalent tendency i to hirk re pon ibility if po sible." A an example of thi he cited the Lincoln primarie April 3, ,Yhen only 20 percent of the citizen Yoted.

"The greate t problem in America today i to train citizen , to impre each man with his obligation and to urge him to the fulfillment of them," tated the creneral. "Today brings u ba ·k, "·,heth~r folly appreciated or not, to the memory of the ,Yorld ,Yar and of the deplorable lack of preparation on our part. If it had not been for the fact that our allie: held the field one year while we were preparing, I hould he itate to ay "·hat the re ult would hHe been. I am not a militari s t in anv en e of the word, and I will be glad when 1Ye, as a peoi:>le, ma v look forward to the day when there will be no more wa;. But we cannot forget the pa t; we cannot oYerlook history; and we must profit b~r th bitter experience of our own country '

In commenting on so m e of hi own chool experience , and hi boyhood in Mi .ouri, he . aid that th e teacher was frequently cho. en becau . e he knew more than the 1~e t of the applicant s and not becau e she had any special qualification . ·when he wa eventeen he taught a sc hool of forty-five pupils, noted for their bad di cipline, and numbering among them four who were older than he. In tead of u ing the hickory tick, a hi ~ tea cher s had done, he e tabli hed friendly relation with hi pupil . He declared that if he had ever developed any diplomacy, it mu t have tarted there. The general clo ed hi addre s with a few storie from hi military life.

W. Harold Browne

-w. Harold Browne began hi first year as head coach last fall, but he was far from being unknown in Lincoln high school. Two years as as istant coach had won for him the respect and admiration of the student body. He had turned out winning reserve teams for two easons, and was well qualified for the more responsible po ition

The 1922 football team, under Coach Browne's guidance, finished a successful sea on by defeating Kearney and winning the state championship. It was the first football championship for Lincoln since 1918. -

The Linc9ln high school basketball team, also coached by Mr. Browne, captured a long strinO' of victories and was easily one of the best teams in the state.

In the spring Coach Browne took charge of the ba eball squad and developed a nine capable of giving a hard battle to the best of teams.

It has been Mr. Browne's policy to get every boy into some form of athletics, for he realizes the benefit to be O'ained. Lincoln high school is fortunate in having as coach a man who can not only tell the athletes how to do a thing , but can also how them by doing it himself.

Floyd H. Gauts ch

As assistant coach, Floyd H. Gautsch has done some remarkably good work. He coached the reserve team in football and ba ketball, and in the spring he took charge of the track squad. The swimming team wa al o tutored by Mr. Gautsch. .i\ II the team under his instruction have been winner . In addition, Mr. Gautsch directs some of the ·gymnasium cla es .

The re erve football squad won several victories and had but one defeat Coach Gaut ch developed a smooth running football machine. The second basketball team won eight victories out of ten games played.

The Lincoln high school track squad, which Mr. Gautsch is instructing, shows the results of its training, for it is one of the best in the state.

Coach Gautsch is himself an athlete of proved ability, having won letters in football, wimming, and track while in college. He has ably assisted Coach Browne in carrying out the athletic policie of the school.

The Season

·when Coach Browne sounded the call for football candidates the week before school tarted, seven letter men responded and prospects .of the state football championship once more resting in Lincoln high school seemed good. The joy of the Lincoln fans wa even greater when Lewis, halfback on the 1921 squad, and Bass, an all-state player from Iowa, j,oined the ranks. The team started out well and gradually in- • creased in speed and power. Finally, when Lincoln defeated Kearney, we tern contenders for the champion hip, by a score of 30 to 6, the Links superiority was unquestioned.

•

After a few weeks of practice the team went to Fremont . A pass, Lewis to Gardner, in the first quarter gave the Links their lone touchdown . Lewis got loose for several long runs, and "ould have scored but :for the tackling of Winkleman, Fremont safety man. The Lincoln goal was out of clanger throughout the game.

The Lincoln team played much better the next week, when it clo"ned York by a good margin . York threw a scare into the Lincoln rooters, when it raced to a touchdown in the first five minutBs of play, but the Links began to score regularly with long passes and runs, and before the game was over, the count was 34 to 6.

The game with South Omaha was not expected to be hard, but even the most optimistic would hardly have prophesied a score of 78 to 6. Lincoln made a touchdown in the first five minutes and followed with eleven others. South High' only points were gained by snatching a Lincoln fumble and running twenty-five yards for a touchdown

Tecumseh was next. "\Vonclerful rumors had been coming from the southeastern part of the state concerning the marvelous size and ability of the Tecumseh team and everyone was expecting a real battle. Lincoln went into the game ready to "do or die," and before the first half was over, had made three touchdowns The final score was 24 to 0.

Omaha Tech boasted little and had already been beaten by Beatrice, but it proved to be a formidable band of gridsters. Big and powerful, and ure tacklers, they gave Lincoln one of the hardest fights of the season, and in the last quarter drove to within a fe" feet of the Links goal. But on the la t down the Tech quarterback was thrown for a loss and Lincoln had defeated one of the best teams in Nebraska

Omaha Central, the third Omaha team on the schedule, nearly put Lincoln out of the running . Galloway, Central's giant fullback, was the only Purple player to ga i n consistently, but he went through for long gains, and the game ended 19 to 6, in favor

- 99 -

of Omaha. HmYeYer, Central used a player who was oYer age, and the game was forfeited. Central was tied bv Tech later in the season.

Grand I larnl was defe'ated the next week in a game that prowd to be rather a poor exhibition The Links ,wre not up to form and most of the Islander,:; were inexperienced. Grand Island scored two points by a safety in the first of the game, but Lincoln "came back'' ,Yith two touchdowns and a field goal, making the score 16 to 2.

The Lincoln team thought it had lost its chance for the championship, but decided to do the "dog in the manger" act by removing Columbus from the race. Lincoln's only touchdm,n came in the third quarter. The Links outplayed the Discoverers, and penaltie placed on Lincoln at critical moment. were the only thing that prevented a larger score .

Beatrice, ancient encm)' of the Red and Black, was ,rnmped in a game on Nebraska field. The Lin cofo resenes had just beaten the Beatrice seconds by thirty-three points, but the first team, not to be surpassed, made six touchdowns for a total of thirty-nine points. The Orange team was crippled by the absence of Purdy, star quarterback.

Cambridge did not prove as strong a last year, and Lincoln went into the finals of the championship race by defeating them, 27 to 6 The only score for Cambridge came in the thfrd quarter as the result of a thirty yard run by Easter. " Jug " Brown provided the sensation of the day " hen he returned a Cambridge kickoff for 90 yards and a touchdown.

Lincoln ,y·on the championship game with Kearney by a score of 30 to 6. Kearney took the offensin at the opening of the conte t. and held a light edg __, over the Link ::; during the first quarter, bnt the tide turned and Lincoln overwhelmed the we sterners with long runs and passes. The blocking of Brown's kick, and Captain Peaker' s seventy yard run for a touchdown enabled K earney to score near the end of the game.

Second Team

This year the reserves had a real team, appearing in new uniforms and having a regular schedule Besides playing their games with other schools they scrimmaged with the first team nearly every night and gave them the practice which was necessary to produce a championship eleven. ,

From their firn games the reserves won t,Yo, tied two and lost one. They scored 57 points to their opponents' 21. The training of Coach Gautsch made possible the smooth team work which they displayed, and which is so often lacking in second teams.

The reserves' schedule began a little late, the first game being played on October 18. Their first opponent was the state agricultural high chool which held them to a 0 to O tie. The Aggies were a husky bunch of farmers, and outweighed the Links. everthele. , the second team outplayed them and at one time had the ball on the farmers' two-foot line, where an attempted pass was incomplete.

A week and a half later, the reserves took on Ashland. The Lincoln understudies had acquired a little more training and experience since the Aggie fray, and tore through the Ashland team for three touchdowns and a field goal, while Ashland £ailed to enter the scoring column, the game endin 24 to 0. The Saunders county boys su~ceeded in making but four first downs during the game and seldom held the Links for downs.

The next week the Lincoln reserves played the Omaha Central seconds as a curtain-raiser for the Lincoln-Central contest The reserves game ended in a O to O tie, although Coach Gantsch's red-jerseyed warriors outpla;ved the Omahans and severa l times threatened to score. The Centralites did not even approach the Lincoln goal.

The resenes only defeat came at Seward when the seconds lost by a 21 to O score . Seward had a trong team but Lincoln outplayed them during the fir t half and drove them to their one yard line. In the second half, several Lincoln fumbles and the substitution of Ramsey, Seward's tearing halfback, gan Seward three touchdowns. The

The Season

1Yith fiye L men and six winners of re errn letter · on the squad and with ,V. Harold Bro"TT"ne a coach, a winning basketball team wa as ured. The team liYed up to it rep11tation and ,Yon twenty-t"o games out of the thirty which they played. Omaha Tech, tate champion , were 0Yerw'l1elmed b,·ice, and Hastino·s, runner-up in the tournament also went dmn1 before the Reel and Black cagester in the only game between the hYo teams.

Although the Lincoln team did not win the champion hip in the tournament, as many expected they would, the Links was considered one of the best team in the tate.

Captain "Juo·" Brown elclom failed to take the coring honors of the day. An all-state forward the eason before, "Jug" was eYen better this year, and ea ily won place among the be t player in the tate.

Captain-elect Frank Corrick wa "Jug' ,, regular running mate and could be counted on for eYeral basket in any game. The Bro"TT"n-Corrick combination baffled the best of opposing defenses.

Leighton Baker held down the center position for the second time. His experience on the 1922 quad, fast floor "TT"Ork, and accurate goal- hooting made him a valuable player.

Gail Curtin pla~red either guard or forward. He mothered the be t of enemy scoring machine when playing guard, and at forward he scored often for the Red and Black.

" tan" Lewi. wa regular center during the fir t ernester and got into mo t of the remaining game . " tan' i noted for hi peed and aggressivene

Ex-captain Dor , e:v :\Iclntyre played hi third year at guard in a style that garn him an all -state position. His specialty wa holding down an opposing "lead shot' and getting a goal or two him elf.

Addison Miller pastimed at center and made a teady pivot man. He got into many of the game. and always gaye a good account of himself . Morrell Mill.' two sea on with the re ene gave him the peed necessary for a first team man. Both his floor work and ba ket hooting were good.

' kipper' Old played hi econd year at gnard . ", kip" fight the whole game and follow hi man with dogged per eYerance. Some neat field goals and a flock of free throws appear on Olds' score heet.

Olds Corrick Mclnt:H2 Brown

··Cy" Yordy, another <liminutive forward, played his second year on the team. "Cy" hit the hoop from all angle and scored in nearly every game.

In preparation for the regular season Coach Browne arranged a schedule of eight games to be played on the team's western trip during Christmas vacation. In nine days the Link played eight games and won ix of them. Four of the team played were placed in cla s A in the tournament.

The Links had an easy time the first game, wamping Lexington, 33 to 7. Lexing~on !nacle only one field goal dnring the conte t, while " horty" Par hall alone dropped ln lX.

Xorth Platte went down the next night by a core of 21 to 14. "Jug' " total of thirteen points proved all super tition about that number to be a fallacy.

A miniature basketball court enabled the Sutherland cagester to in till ome "Christmas cheer" into the hearts of their fellow town men on December 25 utherland took a 26 to 20 victory which gave it a cla s A rating in the tournament.

The Links Yented their anger on the unfortunate Bayard team the following night with a 23 to 13 core. The Red and Black ba keteers were out to regain their reputation and Bayard didn't have a chance

The following evening Lincoln swamped Scottsbluff, 39 to 10. "Jug's" total of 21 points was more than double the Scottsbluff core . Alliance, a class A team, scored 17 point to Lincoln's 25 in a fast game on December 28. Every Red and Black player scored.

The long trip and heavy schedule of games was beginning to tell on the team. and the Links lo t a clo e game to Ravenna by an 18 to 14 core It wa Lincoln's second defeat of the season. •

The enn ba keteers concluded their trip by downing Litchfield with the small but ~ufficient margin of 2 point , winning 20 to 1 :X o ling, a Litchfield forward, scored 16 of his team's 18 point .

The Links opened their regular eason in a home game with RaYenna, and evened their account with the westerners by taking- a 12 to 9 Yictory. Ravenna led 8 to 3 at

Physical Educati~n

On the first day of school a cro wd of excited and curious girls was waiting in the o·irls gymnasium for the two ne\Y teachers who were to train them in their various sports. Miss Elva B. Gates and Mi s Marion Baldwin, needless to ay, soon formed acquaintances with the young enthusiast who were so desirou of knowing them.

Mi Elva B. Gates entered Lincoln high school with all the advantage of unbounded enth usiasm for her work and a special flair for the artistic as ,nll a for the beneficial in gymnastic Believing that all the girl· should be intere ted in ome form of athletic diversion, she turned her attention at once to the o-irls athletic association.

Mi Gates wa graduated in 1917 from the normal school at La Cros e, \Yisconsin. She has attended the American Gymnastic Union, at Indianapoli , Indiana, and ha taught at Fort Dodo-e, Iowa, and Penyane, New York. In addition to planning special exhibition and pro 0 Tams, Mis Gates ha taught after-school classe. in club swinging and has coached girl · in advanced dancing. When the Links as embly was held in February he drilled the group of girls \Yho repre ented girls athletic in the play.

,vith Mi Bald"·in he grouped the twefre sport:-; which they planned to coach during the )' ear, under the name of the Healthy, Happy Dozen.

\Vhen Miss Marion Baldwin began teaching in Lincoln high school in the fall, the girls athletic a ociation was attempting to increase its memberhip and she . uggested that points in athletics be av;rarded to any 0 ·irl who encouraged other to attend the port practice and win point for entrance into the organization.

Soccer

Soccer practice for the first few nights presented an octopus effe t of kickin(7 girls and a ball, the one aim of each girl being . to kick that ball. To give it ·a good, square, cientific kick to ee it soar up and then glide triumphantly down to the very spot that one intended it should, is a soul-satisfying stunt.

A the practice went teadily on, week after week, order and sy tern emerged out of the chao and by the time ovember and 9, 1922, the date et for the tournament, came along , four well-organized teams, each ,Yith the expre purpose of carrying off the honors for it class, went mto it with a ze . t and a snap that foretold no easy walk-off for any one of the participating teams. The junior and seniors came out of the preliminarie with colors flying, the juniors having defeated the sophomore by a 3 to 2 score and the eniors having triumphed over the freshmen by a 1 to O score. The finals saw the stagino· of an in ten e battle, ' junior Vf'rsus seniors. During the first half the ball surged up c.i.nd down the field and excitement ran high, neither side scoring. rrhen, with a yell of triumph, the eniors gained a point. An ominous ilence prevailed among the juniors and, determined not to be beaten they tied the s e niors in the fir t part of the econd half. The tie remained unbroken up to the last three minutes, when a enior girl accidentally touched the ball with her hand , thus giving the junior a free kick. The ball, o·iven the necessary impetu by the determined foot of a junior, ·whizzed through the goal to the tune of baleful groans from the seniors and lusty yells of glee from the juniors. During the remaining two minnte the ball wa kept in the center of the field, leaving the juniors, when the final whi.-tl e hlew, occer champions of 1922, with a score of 2 to 1.

Hockey

Warfare wa waged between the cla . , es, with hockey club for a sole mean of offense and defense on the days of December 12, 13, 14, 1922.

Out of the war-clouds of the emi-finals, came the sophomores and junior victorious and with clubs held high, the sophomore . having defeated the eniors ·with a core of 6 to 2 and the junior having triumphed over the freshmen with a score of 5 to 1. The real truggle , however, wa yet to come. rrhe du t of battle havinc, settled over the first quarter, the sophomores tarted on the road to victory with a 1 to O tally. In the second quarter the juniors overtook the sophomores and in the _ third quarter they made a econd goal, thus givino· the ophomore the dust . The ophomore continued the role of dust-eaters throuo·h the rest of the 0 ame. \\ hen the final whistle blew, the junior by virtue of a 2 to 1 margin in their favor, vrnlked off the field with the poils of the victor, namely, the cla s champion hip of 1922.

Volley Ball

Yolley ball wa introduced thi year a an after- chool port. ince it i a game which is easy to learn and play, many girl were pre ent for the practices. • In the preliminaries, December 21, 1922, the ophomores won from the freshmen and the seniors from the juniors. In the finals the seniors defeated the sophomores 21 to 14. This was the first tournament ever won by the class of '23.

Basketball

Basketball, the most popular port among girls, proved to be the mo t exciting of this years games. In the preliminarie , played March 21 and 22, 1923, the seniors and juniors won, with large one-sided scores, over the freshmen and sophomore . The outcome of the final game, however, was undecided , from the first. The seniors made the first two baskets, but the juniors soon tied the score. ext the junior were ahead then the seniors and so on through the entire game. "\Vhen the whi tle blew, the game had been so close and the scoring so rapid that no one knew exactly how the game stood. After the point were added up, the core was found to be a tie of 22 to 22.

Only a short rest and the team were again on the floor. The object of the remainder of the game was to ee which class could make the first two-point basket. The senior made a free throw and a two-point basket before the juniors could hoop the ball, and won the game by a margin of three point This marks the econd tournament won by the class of '23.

Tennis

In the tenni tournament, which was held May 15, 16, 17, and 1 , 1922, the girls were their own core keepers and were given the privilege of playing their games before or after school. Of the eighteen participants, Marjorie Eastabrook and Evelyn Brown were the players of the final game, a11d in defeating Evelyn, Marjorie became the winner of the tournament.

Club Swinging \

Club winging a sport in circles. The trong arms of those who wing clubs are never too tired to go around again and again like the arms of a great windmill. It was introduced as an after-school sport for the first time thi year. There i no final conte t. Point are awarded for practice At the fir t few practice the girls did not make much progres , and the teacher began to de pair a she watched the club flying in all directions and clattering to the floor instead of curving gracefulJy and rythmically to the sound of her directions. The practicing finally became so orderly that none of the forty pair of club could be seen to leave the po itions held or the motions made by any of the other . .

Roller Skating

' ome people might consider roller kating too childish a port for high chool girl , but age hould not interfere with healthful exercise and fun. The o·irls athIetic as ociation has ponsored several roller skating groups made up of girls who de ired to earn point · for entrance into the as ociation. A member of the a sociation wa appointed a leader to take charge of each group, and report the number of girl pre ent at each meeting and the time spent in skating. Twenty-five points were given for each twenty hours pent in skatmg during one seme ter.

Therefore, if anyone should see several girls leaving the high school, and carrying roller skates, he should not judo-e that they ar e grade school children, for urely, a gir 1 is no older than he feel .

A splendid program delighted the spectators for nearly two hours. Bursts of laughter and ga ps of astonishment alternately follo wed the efforts of the entertainers. '' Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy,'' the games, and the pyramids , "·ere the best laugh producers. Even the mo t exacting could hardly haYe denied that he received his money's worth during the evening.

Snow

The snow slipped softly downward through the gloom, And o'er the tapering pire. • dropped a shroud Of white, or wedding-gown, as some prefer to call it; And softened, in the graveyards, the bare look Left there by heartle s autumn, and the mounds ,, ere covered with a tender ermine robe, And catterecl in and out among the trees The ~tern gray slab of granite took And held a les forbidding, ofter look.

,Vailing, the wind weeps through the empty street , And taking up the snow, leaves parnments bare, And then the snow piles high against the curb , And drifts between the hou. es, and is swept Along like bit of paper in a gale, In little clouds up past the swinging street lamp , And strikes one's face with unsu pected force, A hard as hailstone in an August storm.

At night the merry laughter ring along, Of young folk going to and fro In couples and by threes; Mere ilhouettes all done in shaded black, Eye brio-ht and face , gay,· The crunching of the snow 'neath heavy feet That pa s. ome one, alone, ,Yho doe. not . peak, for b auty of it all .......

-Wilbur Ga .ffney, 23.

Autumn

\Vhen the leaves turn to gold, and the meadow grow sere, When the red-gold of foliage vies with the blue of the sky, Then autumn i here. Autumn is here.

There's a tang and a crispness that lends to the air That effervescence of life which proclaim to the world, 'Tis autumn, the fair. 'Tis autumn, the fair.

\\ hen a full-blown golden moon hangs low in the sky, Enhancing and enriching the charm of this earth, Then, autumn's the cry. Autumn's the cry.

Rainy

It is five o'clock in the moming. The blue flare of the njtrogen light s in the press room jg reflected in the glistening side-,rnlks. I stagger up the step::; " ~ith my load of one hundred and fifty morning papers, and plunge ,out into the rain. ~fy over-size raincoat flaps about 1113 legs and tries to trip me, and drops of rain fall before my eyes from the bill of my sodden cap. I blink to keep my eyes clear, and answer the cheerful greeting of "Maje" Gross, who is waiting on the corner for his moming pa per. The street lights glow blearily through the mist. Early motors "·hirr by, but except for them. the city is silent and desert ed I pass along, sloshing through the wet grass, passing under dripping trees, distributing soggy papers to porches to which I am guided more by instinct than by knowledge. :My thoughts wander away from the cold, November drizzle, and I dream. of warm, dry climates, the while my overshoes squeak and crunch, for they were neYer intended to hold water. By the time I have covered half my route the eastern sky shows gray, and I can see my way about. Glistening street cars slide by on slippery rails, splashing water from low places along the tracks. I meet people in rubber hats and coats and overshoes, passing on their way to work. Roofs, sidewa lk s, and stree t s reflect the cold, grey, dripping sky. Smoke rises from chimneys only to fall and roll in grey clouds along the ear:h. It has not ceased raining. "\Vilbur Gaffney, '23.

Analysis: A Thesis

'·The sun was shining on the sea Shining with all his might; He did his Yery best to make The billows smooth and bright-"

~-\11 things considered, it was but the sun's duty to shine with all hi might. But there is a discrepancy. He might make the billows bright, but could he mooth down the restles waves of the briny deep~ I doubt it.

··.And thi s was odd, because it was The middle of the night."

The cene of this familiar poem i placed upon the coast of England. Thi is the first intimation I ha Ye ever received that England was ever lighted by the ( or a) midnight sun. This is a very unusual occllrrence, very, and shou ld be inv estigated by astronomers. Perhap they may uncover some new natural or un-natural phenomena.

"The moon wa shining sulkily," •

This seems a Yery childish way for a Indy as old a Madam Moon to be behaving ...\,.t her time o:f life she should know better.

"Because she thought the sun

Had got no business to be there

After the day was done-"

"\Ve perceive that the moon had a reason for being sulky The sun was prohibited by all the laws of nature from . appearing at uch an unusual and ungodly time of night. Still, the moon should not have sulked, but, as a law-abiding citizen of England she should haYe reported his case to Scotland Yard at once, " 'It's very rude of him,' she said, 'To come and spoil the fun !' "

And it was. Besides being a violator of the law, here was the sun proving that he knew nothing of etiquette or rules of gentlemanly conduct. As a gentleman he would not have interrupted the lady's work or pleasure in any manner. From her attitude toward him, one would judge that she asked him to depart, and he refused to do o. Emphatically, he was no Q:entleman.

"The sea was wet a wet could be," I'resnnrnblv it would be.

• '"Th e sands were dry as dry. You could not ee a cloud, because No cloud was in the sky :"

The sands, it is plain, were dry because they were not wet. Thi i m accordance with the arguments of logicians. It sounds Yer:v reasonable, at any rate. Mr. Carroll's explanation of the reason no cloud ;'\·ere vi ible is extremely lucid. It is also quite in accordance "ith the be t of logic, and is, n I believe I said, so clear that a child can understand it.

":No birds were flying overheadThere were no birds to fly."

ary

This i also logical. Mr. Carroll de erve • to be complimented lucidity and simplicity of his writing·.

"The "\Valrus and the Carpenter" An odd pair of companions. to say the lea!==t.

""'Were walking close at hand: They wept like anything to see Such quantities of sand :"

upon the cxtraordin --

-H2--

The ,v alrus, being a tender-hearted creature, might weep, of course, but I doubt very much that a Carpenter would weep for any such cause. This Carpenter may, however, have been a "rara avis" and rn.ay have been capable of weeping, but if uch were the case, it should have been investigat~d as a matter of interest by the Royal Society.

"'If this were only cleared a way,' They said, 'It would be grand.' "

Apparently they did not reflect that if the sand ,Tere cleared away, there would be no beach on which to walk, and in that case they should have to stroll oyer noisy, ±ogg~· London instead of on the quiet sands at Brighton ( ?) , illumined by the rn idnight sun.

" 'If se ven maids with seven mops' "

It is left doubtful here whether the W" alm s means that each maid should have seve n mops, or if he is employing a rather ambiguous way of saying that each should have one mop.

"'Swept it for half a year, Do you suppose,' the vValrus said, 'That they could get it clear?'"

It appears that the " Talrus had not taken a course in business efficiency, becau e of the ridiculously small number of maids he mentions for doing the work, and the ridiculously short time he allows them for so stupendous a task. ,ve believe that this was merely an absent-m inded, inadvertent remark of his, and that if he had stopped to think he would certainly not have committed himself so.

"'I doubt it,' said the Carpenter, And shed a bitter tear."

Here the Carpenter shows his sound sense and reasoning by admitting that he did not believe that such a small force could possibly do such a great work in the time provided. However, as I have stated before, it is exceedingly doubtful if any Carpenter co uld ever shed tears for any reason whatsoever. There is no mention of onions in the poem.

" '0 Oysters, come and walk with us !'

The Walrus did beseech :"

His request shows a love of companionship entirely in keeping with his nature. I can see him, in my mind's eye, now; a fat, jovial creature he is, standing there on the sun-and-moon-lit beach, his flippers outstretched imploringly, and his voice quavering ever so slightly as he calls to the oysters. . Reader, is it not a striking picture 1

"'A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, Along the briny beach:' "

If I remember correctly from my natural history days, oysters as a rule are not talkative, and would be poor company, unless they proved good listeners.

" ''Ye cannot do with more than four, To give a hand to each.'"

The vValrus and the Carpenter are apparently Yery fond of companionship, if they offer to assist the oysters, just for the sake of having them along~

"The eldest oyster looked at him,

But never a word he said."

Gentle reader, can you not picture the eldest oyster, a sm.ooth, fat, grey old gentleman in a frock coat and white tie, looking fixedly at the audacious ,v alrus who has interrupted his repose? And can you not fancv his chilling- silence?

"The eldest oyster winked his eye,"

l i9Q3 - rn3-

EThis i a trace of joviality one would not expect to find in so staid and sober an old gentleman as the oldest oyster. It is rather diffiqult to imagine him ,vinking, under any circumstances.

"And shook his heavv headMeaning to say he did n;t choo e

To lea Ye the oyster bed."

From this it becomes eYident that the old gentleman was not affected with the ,vanderlust, as the ~rounger oysters seemed to br. Besides, at his time of life, he would get rheumatism if he left his accustomed haunts, and as he was probably too "·ise to believe in patent medicines, he was better off where he was.

"But four young oysters hurried up," ,vith usual childish eagerness, you perceive.

"All eager for the treat:"

One instinctively wonders if they had their mothers' perm1ss10n.

''Their coats were brushed, their faces washed, Their shoes were clean and neat-"

They haYe had a good home, it is plain. Still, their cleanliness need not be wondered at, as they liYed under water.

"And this ,Yas odd, because, you know: They hadn't any feet."

fr. Carroll is right. It was odd-very indeed. This is allother matter for the attention of the Royal Society.

"~"'onr other oyster , followed them, And yet another four; And thick and fast they came at last, And more, and more, and more-"

It does not take a very Yivid imagination to see the swarms of clean, dusted, polished little oysters, with their "bright and smiling faces" swarming out of the water, and deluging the ,valrn s and Carpenter, all crying, "Me! Me!" " I was first!" "He was not, Mr. Carpenter! I was," and the ,valrus and the Carpenter trying to shakt> them off and make themselves heard aborn the clamoring chi ldi sh Yoices.

"All hopping through the frothy waws. And scrambling to the shore .''

It is not hard to imagine the ,Yalrn s, old bachelor as he was, Yiolently cnr:;rng (under his breath) the fate that induced him to wish a crowd of infants on himself rind friend.

"The V/ alms and the Carpenter "Talk ed on a mile or sot

The ,valrns' good humor is apparently restored.

"And then they rested on a rock C01wenie11tlv low.

And all the little oysters stood And ,rnitecl in ·a row."

At ]east the oysters sho"·ed evidences of good breeding. They refused to se:1t ihemselYes in the pre ence of their elders, and, "·hile standing, they rnllintrined themselYes i.n orderlv rows. ThPv must ha Ye had militllrv training in their schooL.

• "'The time has come,' the ,Yalrn s said,"

And he ,m s right; it had.

" 'To speak of manv things: Of shoes-~nd hips-and s 0 aling waxAnd cabbages-and kings-' "

The ,Yalru s must certainlv han been well educated to be able to peak intelligently on SH ch diversified topic Tl1a t to his credit.

"'.And why the sea is boiling hot-'"

His meaning is doubtful, but it is to be presumed that he refer to the Gulf tream. "'.And whether pig::; haYe wings.''

The question in the aboYe line cannot be debated by men of ordinary intelligence at ordinary times, so it is obvion that either the ,Yalrn s or the Carpenter has been selfdeceived, probably by drink, and intends to thra h the matter out with the other until one of the two ha been thoronghl:v com~i11ced The outcome of this interesting debate wa newr made public.

" ·But wait a bit,' the oysters cried, Before we have our chat ; ' "

Thi 1. the fir:-;t discourteous act of the oysters. But of course it is m a ense excusable,

"'For some of us are out of breath And all of us are fat!'"

It is perfectly natural that the oyster ~ should Yrnnt to regain their breath so they can take part in the coming debate. It is, in fact, quite a human trait.

"'X o hurry!' aid the Carpenter:'

It is evident that he i a typical Carpenter, and is accustomed to being paid by the honr.

"They thanked him much for that."

Their natiw courtesy reasserts itself.

• "'A loaf of bread,' the " ralrn said,"

It sounds a s if he were quoting Omar.

"'Is what we chiefly need: Pepper and vinegar besf des .Are very good indeed-' "

The w ·alrns nm t haw belonged to some exclu. ive London club, for he show quite an nnder:-;tanding and appreciation of good food.

"' ':Xow if you're ready, Oy sters dear, w·e can b egin to feed.'"

The w·alrns how his tact and courtesy by waiting: until the oyster are ready, before ewn uggesting that they eat.

"'But not on us,' the oysters cried,"

The oy , ters are showing undue and uncalled for apprehension.

"Turning a little blue.

'.After such kindnes that "ould be A di mal thing to do !' "

It ,Yonld indeed.

" 'The night is fine,' the ,Yalrn s , aid.

'Do you adm.ire th e Yiew ?' ''

This is an abrupt and tactful changin~ of the subject. It reYeals a new and hitherto unsuspected , id e of the " ralru ' character . He i s shmYn to have a hard and unsympathetic side to his joYial, genial existence. It seems s trang e until one considers the average human nature.

"It was so kind of you to come!

And you are ·very nice!'"

-135-

Very quickly hi inherent courtesy reasserts itself, you see . It is quite the thing to soothe the oy ter ~' wounded feelings, and often their uspicions.

·'The Carpenter said nothing but 'Cut us another slice I wish you were not quite so deafI've had to ask you twice ! ' "

This is the first intimation gfren the reader that they have the bread which the "Walrus proposed. If such be actually the ca e they probably haYe their pepper("and the moral of that i -") and vinegar also. The Carpenter is proved a taciturn individual with little or none of the milk of human kindnes in his heart. (To be read with a sigh) Apparently he is-alas !-a typical Carpenter.

" 'It seem a shame,' th e ,v alrus said, 'To play them such a trick. After we've brought them out so far, ...:-\._nd made them trot so quick !' "

Here we see the ,valrus' pity coming to the fore, and almost interrupting their meal. till, it \\'as not a commendable way to treat and deceiYe the oysters. The "\Valrus might have made a good oil stock salesman of himself.

"The Carpenter said nothing but 'The butter' spread too thick!' "

The Carpenter, even while enjoying a good meal, i still at heart a Carpenter. H e continually finds fault with the food, so it is a good thing he i a bachelor. If he were married, his wife would be quarreling with him ( and vice Yersa) all the time. The la t sentence is remindful of Meadow Gold Butter. "Spread it on Thi ck!"

" 'I weep for you,' the ,valrus said : 'I deeply sympathize . '"

The ,valru s is a humane creature, and should rejoice that he is not living in this day and age, ,Yhere one is assailed at every corner by fair "driYers," in the name of Humanity.

"'Vith sobs and tears he sorted ou.t Those of the largest size, Holding his pocket-handkerchief Before his streaming eyes.''

Thi s is incomprehensible. o mention is made of onion " 0 Oyster ,' said the Carpenter, 'You've had a pleasant run! hall we be trotting home again i' "

The Carpenter suddenly waxes eloquent, and becomes extremely so licitou for the welfare and general happiness of the oystus. This solicitousness is so extraordinary in a Carpenter that it is another case which c:::hould be investigated by the Royal Society.

"But answer there came noneAnd thi was carcely odd, because They'd eaten every one."

Mr. Carroll is again right. It 1s scarce ly odd that they do not reply. It would be far more unusual if they did.

LOIS

Mr. Charles B. R_ighter

Much may be ~aid of the orchestras and bands of the Lincoln public schools and as much may be said of their director, Mr. Charles B. Righter, jr., who has been in charge. of all such work since 1919. Mr. Righter may truly be called a Lincoln teacher, for he attended Lincoln high school and was gradna ted with the class of 1915. He received his degree from the University School of Music in 1917. Shortly after the United States entered the great war he enlisted and spent two years in the army. ,Yhen Mr. Righter entered high school in 1911 the orchestra included only eight pieces and wa called the freshman orchestra. ,Vhile a member of it, he played the violin. He was a charter member of the band which was also organized during his freshman year and in it he played the cornet, baritone, drum, and clarinet. In addition to his musical work he was unusually prominent in other high school activities. He was on the debate team two years, was a cheer leader, editor of the Advocat e , and a participant in the junior play and the opera.

Immediately after being graduated from the school of music, May 30, 1917, Mr. Righter enlisted in the army and went to France with the fifth Nebraska infantry. In France he -nTas transferred to the 314th engin- eer ,Yhile in the army he played clarinet in the band of his regiment and in two big regimental bands which were assembled for parade. He spent seven months in the army of occupation before receiving honorable discharge on June 5, 1919.

Mr. Righter received instruction under Edwin Dietrich of Colorado Springs and he attended the Chautauqua summer school for teachers at Chautauqua Lake, New York not long before accepting his present. position. For a short time he played with the Denver symphony orche tra.

At present Mr. Righter is instructor of violin at the University School of Music, a ide from his work in Lincoln high school. He has watched the development of the orchestra from the time he entered the high school as a student. He organized the preparatory band and orchestra which have proved a great aid in choosing members for the advanced organizations. They give students who are not ready for advanced work a chance to improve and receive instruction in the fundamentals of band and orchestra music. It is probably Mr. Righter's practical knowledge of various musical instruments which has enabled him to give the band and orche tra such thorough train -ing. He has raised these two amateur organizations to a standard of excellence that is almost professional. Nothing could show more clearly his unusual ability as a con- ductor.

E The Boys Glee Club

Future Carusos and McCormacks will probably attribute their uccess large!)' to the training they received in Mr. Ferguson' exclu ive vocal studio known as the boy~ glee club. The unu s ual popularity of this organization is no doubt partly due to the fact that the member s of the club are se lected each semester from a large number of tudents who try out.

The first semester the boys and girl glee clubs rn eet eparately, but in the second :--e me 8ter the hrn club;:; combine to produce the opera which i given annually. Th e boys first appearance wa s made before the tatc teachers association at the convention held in Lincoln. Later they sang for the father and ~on banquet and for the ,Y omans Club, and made a formal appearance in rn as embly program. At the clo e of the semes ter they participated in the mid-year concert and in one of the Sunday ye per concerts. The second semester was given over entirely to the production of the opera, The ,lolly Jiusketeer, in which several of the boys sang leading parL

The credit for the fine thing the boys glee club ha s accomplished this year is dne to )fr. H. 0. Fergu son, the director, who i a friend of every boy in the club.

The Mid- Year Concert

\\"']1en the op11110n that the mid-year concert was the best that has ever been given in Lincoln high school i voiced by its hundreds of students and by the citizen of Lfocoln, one feels that he is j ustifi~d in thinking that the sixth ammal mid-year concert held Januar y 12, excelled all former concert both in quality and varie y of program. Two cantatas compri ed the first part of the program They were ung by a representative number of three hundred voice , chosen from the eight hundred enrolled in the chorus classes In the cantata, Columbus, taken from the poem by Joaquin Miller, with musical setting by Hosmer, Lloyd Robin son ang the baritone solo selections. The Village Bl acksmith with the familiar words from Longfellow and music by Alfred Noyes, was skillfu lly interpreted. Edward Walt with his xylophone represented the song of the anvil in so realistjc a manner that the audience could almost imagine it was standing with the children in the forge watching the blacksmith' trong arm as it hammered. Miss Helen Tanner who as isted Margaret Mahaffey a ~ accompanist played the reed organ in a most cffecti-rn manner.

Sea Fever, by Mark Andre"\\s, The Sw ee t es t Flow er that Grows, by 0. B. Hawley, and Good- 7ig ht, by Dudl ey Buck were sung by the boy glee club. Marie Lintt, '2 :l:, delighted the audience with her rich contralto Yoice in t"o solos, To Musi c, by Schubert, and Fiv e Littl e Whit e H eads, by Bischoff. The girls glee club completed the Yocal selection of the eYening with Th e Snou·, b:v Fay Foster, Th e Song of Th e Chimney, by Neidlinger, and Asa's D ea th and Dan ce of the Trolls from the P eer Gynt Suite, by Grieg

The second part of the program was opened by the high schoo l orchestra. Symphon1J in D }Jfajor, by Haydn, Air d e Ballet from Srenes Pitto1'esque, by Oassenet and ill orris Dance, by German were well given. Dorothy Howard, '24, as violin soloist played B erceitse from Jocelyn, by Godard, and Se1·enade, by Pierce.

Two xylophone so lo s, A Perf ec t Day, by Bond and By the Ohio Shor e, by Earl ,rnre played by Edward ·walt. . '

Training for one semester would not suffice to build up an orchestra of a degree of excellence to meet the needs of Lincoln high school and for that reason the preparatory orchestra has been organized. Membership this year for the first time wa ba ed on try -outs. Under this system advancement has been made in so many directions that in the future, members of the preparatory orchestra will be even better qualified to enter the advanced orchestra.

Next year Mr. Righter expects to replace the theatre orchestra by the preparatory In doing this he hopes for even greater accomplishments and more enthusiasm than have already been gained.

The Orchestra

The "\Yorcl orchestra'' a1'Yays inspires more or less a " e in the min cl of him who sees or hear::; it. YVhen it refers to the Li11coln high chool orchestra, however, there is an added significance to the word, for it embodies something of the unusual. Few high schools have a musical organization of this kind which is patterned after a complete symphony orchestra and which contains such instruments as the oboe, the bassoon, and the t:nnpanum. They give one the impression of professionalism and Lincoln high f'chool has proved that its orchestra has a, little of the amateur as it is possible for non-professionals to possess.

I1"or the last two semesters there has been much specialization in concert work. Aside from participating in the mid-year concert, the orche tra has presented programs before the state teachers association, the Lincoln teachers association and at the Sun- day vesper concerts.

The Sigurd Suite by Grieo-, The Tarir1'ed O ve1·turn and Tlie Ba7'ber of Sel)ille, by Rossini, and the Symphony in D JI a jo1' by Haydn are bnt a few of the extremely difficult compositions nccessfnlly undertaken during the year.

The orchestra was organized in 1911 under the name of the freshm.an class orchestra. It was then composed of eight pieces and made its initial appearance at the junior class play. Now, at the end of twelrn vear:::;, it h~s R membership of fifty students who are admitted by try-out. "With such a record · of progress it is safe to expect r2markable achieYement for the future.

Young America

The troubles and woes of "young America" were humorously portrayed by the junior in their anJ].nal play. The cast of roung Am air-a did wonders with the racy lines of the Ballard play. om.ething-and that usually a noisy something-happens in eYery scene. A rooster, two dogs, and a vacuum cleaner lend liveline s and a modern :finxor to this Broadway uccess.

,Tohn Skiles, as the boy hero, completely won the hearts of his audience as did hi:-, friend and companion, the dog, J asp2r. Cleopatra Ross deli'o·hted eYeryone with her debonair manner. The sour and cynical Billy Coombs, played by Keith )filler, brought down the hon ·e at every appearance .

A new pace was set by the juniors in the :elling of two capacity house This and the adequacy of the acting reflect much credit on the energy of the cla s ai1d the tact and p}ltience of the coach, )fr:-,. L11rilP. Foster Shipley, and of the spon ors, :Mis:-; )hr~aret DaYi. • and )fiss Inez Cook.

Latin, the language of the dead, i • another of my lesens and I thinck if Ceesar, the man who wrote it, had nown the anquish he was going to cause, he would not hav dun it. I am also tuding comnn ity civiks which is all about how to empruve our butiful city. Gimnasium is a subject in ,--rhich you take off most of youre close and ee how many time you can hit the fella next you on the heel ,,ith a indian club without him hitting you back. Chorus is "·here a man gets np and cracks funny jokes. ,Yell thi is probibly the longest entree in my dairy I will ever write.

The School to Motion Pictures

I am a senior. I start "·ith that ignificant (;;ent nee so that tho e "TI'ho read thi -; article ,Yill grasp the seriousness and weighty thought behind it. Furthermore, I am not writing this because I haYe to. Tha fact alone should impre s you with my incerity I write with inspiration, an inspiration which, if adopted, "·ill revolutionize America. ....\..ye-revolutionize the whole world. But wait. Before I go any further, 1 Wflnt to pause to remark that this ingeniou idea did not come to me spontaneou ly. Far be it,-it wa • the r es ult of ponderons cogitation and the reading of an article by Stephen Leacock entitled, Christopher r1olumlms Disco/) ers Am erica- Don e to Ji otion Pfrtur e.. Mr. Leacock\; article was all right as far as it went, but I propose carrying thi idea of motion picture education in tearl of textbook education throngh the whole school course.

"Sugar-coated pill of wi.-dom." ctnal life teaching the les ons of life . Let ns, u sing the uprising generation' pet phra e "They are mid-Victorian," abolish books. Onr nres nt system of education i simply a trea ured tradition of the past to ·which we cling because of the tender entiment attached. Our grandfathers tudied from book and therefore we do. But today calls for action, efficiency, life, all of "·hich are symbolized in the motion picture.

There is a special appeal in this for taxpayers. Photoplay studies would mean :-,n enormous decrea e in educational expenses. Bring on your ex-brick-layers. They can run the cinema machine. Ko expen ively educated teachers are required. There "·011 ld be a a,-ing in con trnction expen e:-:. too, becan. e only one large room "·ould bl' needed for each grade. Since the students would simply ,·it and absorb pictures all day, a gratifying conser-rntion of shoe leather "ould be eYident.

But this talk is s11perfluons when you nerd only exoerience one school clay plan . ned according to this sche,ne in order to make vou shout hilariously for Mr . Leacock\; ~nggestion. and sob brokenl)- at the pre ~nt fo~silized method of e·dncation.

Dorines

The incon picuous little dorine that i arried by nearly eYery o-irl in the country i really more Yaluable than it i made out to be. The dorine is critici. ed by many per on but really it would be ju t a valuable to men and boy a to women and girl , if they only knew of it many u e

:Not only may the dorine be u. ed for the weet-smelling povYder, \Yith which it is filled, to keep "my lady s' no e from hining but for many other purpo e al o.

The dorine make an excellent pocket-book, a it will hold any amount of change ( after the small mound of powder ha been worn down a bit ) It come in very handy in a O'eometry cla. , when the compass ha been forgotten. ometime one may be very thir ty and water is availabl , but he has no cup Th powder may be taken from the dorine and there you are again a drinking cup.

On a windy day when the papers on one' de k ju t 1Mn't tay there, the dorine erve a a paper-weight. The mirror is equally handy, when one wi he to see what the person back of her i doing. When the powder is g·nne, the dorine make a wonderful jewelry ca e, or cuff-button case, or a mall battery may be in erted and a nicer fia h-light could not be had.

Thi . explain why dorines should not be criticis d but comm nded, and why there hould be more of them.

Adhesive Tape

'rhe benefit of adhesive tape to mankind are so numerous that raihvay companies and birds lay in large supplies in case of serious accident If the rails of the train track should pull apart, a roll of adhesive tape could be dropped by a lever to connect the two and thus afford perfect safety. All birds hunt for adhesive tape, because it holds their egg in place in the nest so that by no chance the wind can blow them out. If a large quantity of adhesive tape can be obtained, the birds fasten their nests together in order that their young birds cannot break them apart and fall to their death.

Adhesive tape can serve to re ole shoe , renew auto tires, patch socks and pants, stop a leakincr roof, stop up wood-pecker holes, help ustain the pumping station chimney, hold an ego· together while it is being fried, make hair lie down, hold up socks and trousers, clog up cracks in walls, cover test notes written on the hand, keep the door shut, cover up a dirty neck, suspend electric l ights, hold earring on and catch flie on.

rrhese and many others are the u c of adhe ive tape. Thi should convince ev ryone that adhesive tape is able to take the place of hundreds of invention · that have been made and hundreds that don't need to be invented.

DO YOU THINK STRAIGHT?

You go to school to learn to think straight. Solving problems in mathematics requires straight thinking; so does writing a clear and convincing theme. Thrift is straight thinking on earning, spending, saving, giving and investing. Some day, when you are out to make your mark in the world, you will need to do a lot of straight thinking on these subjects if you are to succeed. \Ve are always glad to have High School students open savings or checking accounts at this bank and learn the lessons of wise saving as well as wise spending through having bank accounts of their own.

LFIR T LE SON FROill GRI.MJJ & OO'S VElV TEXT 01' ETIQUETTE

Freshmen are often severely chastised., by the noble upper-clas men for their manners, or lack of them. There are certain rules of etiquette which every f hman should be tauo-ht to observe, viz.:

L He hould be taught never to say "Hello" or "Hi" to an upperclassman.

2. He hould, instead, say , '' Good morning, Mr. Blank,' or '' Good morning, sir."

3. He hould never expect a senior to reply to his greeting by more than a nod of condescension.

4. He hould tip his hat respectfully to each and all upper-classmen.

5. When he has no book to hold, he should make a deep salaam, striking the pavement with his forehead thrice.

6. He should never question the authority of a enior, but obey his commands quickly and respectfully.

These are only a few of the more important ones. The matter of making th e se into laws should go before the student council immediately.

Miss Scott-What do you know about the Age of Elizabeth ?

Jere (dreaming ) - he ' ll be eighteen her next birthday.

The Fairy Ball

The turf was waxed with dew The toad-stools all in place And each was painted white And hung with cobweb laceAll ready for the fairy ball.

\\Then the silver moon was high The fairy folk arrived In snail-drawn coaches small Satin-lined insideOn the night of the fairy ball.

They stepped into the ring And did a minuet Then danced and danced and danced

For it was early yetOn the night of the fairy ball.

Then there was a solo dance By Cleopatra worm Who skidded o'er the grass With wriggle and with squirmOn the night of the fairy ball.

So they sipped the moonshine punch And danced so sprightly gay Till the moon-beam lamps went out And the turf was worn away"rwas the end of the fairy ball. -Rose Reynolds, '23.

Ode to the Cafeteria

(With apologies to Longfellow)

Between the morn and the evening When ·we study our lessons sour, Comes a lull in our day's recitations That is known as the daily lunch hour.

Then a whirr in a southern direction, With a shouting, a roaring, and madnes , And a rush, a bustle, a pushing, For the lunch is a thing of great gladness

0 prai e to our great cafeteria, For it is the strength of the nation; We all should prefer buns and candy To getting a good education.
