On September 13, 1920, score of Lincoln boys and girls had a new experience-that of going to high school for the first time The)' displayed originality from the very beginning by refusing to be the usual green and gullible freshmen. EYen Mr. Kane's proteges were forced to admit that these new freshmen had a few grains of common sense, for despite all conflicting reports, they refused to buy wildcat tickets to anything .

The first event which interested them as a 11hole and made them feel a real part of the school was the election of officers. ·ward Dudley was elected president; l\fiss OliYe Lehmer and Miss Inez Cook were chosen as sponsors.

The freshmen oon began to manif e t their loyalty to the school by purcha ing athletic tickets, and contributing their support to the carnival. Not content " ith merely signing the student petition, they helped to make the carnival a success by blossoming out as concessionaires and side-show managers. The class debate team, characteristically ambitious, defeated the sophomores. In an assembly on January fifth they captured the debate cup by defeating the juniors also. John Skiles, Sterling Hatfield and Otho De Vilbiss composed the team.

Hazel Olds, candidate on the woman suffrage ticket, "·as chosen president for the second semester. Jerrold Kohn was heard to expres his positive opinion that the nineteenth amendment had gone altogether too far.

After three months summer growth the class came back as sophomores. Otho De Vilbiss held the office of president for the first semester; ,T ohn Skiles and Hazel Olds were chosen to uphold sophomore position and standing on the student council.

In keeping with an established precedent, the class of '24 made its bow to the school in an assen1:bly December 14. The stage was festooned with orange and black, the class colors selected but a short time before. The program consisted of a piano solo by Margaret Rice, a flute dnet by Sterling Hatfield and Richard Jones. and a group of dances by sophomore girls. The rlass champion debate team of the year before, Otho De Vilbiss John Skiles and Sterling Hatfield, lived up to the standard they had set for them elves and retained the Magee cup for another year They defeated both the freshmen and the seniors. In athletics also, the clas. of '24 triumphed The boys secured the school championhip for both baseball and basketball, and the girls 11011 the soccer tournament.

Sterling Hatfield was selected by the class as it. president for the second semester. A sophomore party wa given. and individually and collectively the class established itself in the various actfrities of the school.

Ry the third year the class of '24 had <lecidedly grown up. A startling increase in long trousers, bobbed hair and the worried, hurried look of ambition proclaimed the fact John Skiles, long known as a debater, was chosen to lead them for the first semester Miss Margaret Davis was chosen as sponsor to fill the place of Miss Olive Lehmer, who had resigned during the summer.

The first important event of the junior year was the Halloween party given in the boys gymna ium. Dancing, fortune telling, a short program and refreshment , helped to make up the fun of the evening. A few days before Christma·s class pins and rings were selected. Unobtrusive they were, yet proudly worn, for it is a credit to b long to '24

The juniors were hosts again in January, this time not to themselves, but to the outgoing winter cla s. The class added to its long list of successes when the debating team, John Skiles, Evert Hunt and Charles Speedie, won permanent

posses ~ion of the liagee cup, the interclass foren ic trophy. This made the class of '24 debate champion of the school for the third time.

George Johnson wa cho en president of the class for the second seme ter. It would seem that the juniors and seniors-always friendly enemie -were to be more so now, for Ted John on was meanwhile holding the office of senior class pre ident.

As juniors, it devolved upon the cla ·s to live . up to tradition and pre ent n play. The one selected was Young America by the bet known Nebraska playwright, Fred Ballard. The play was coached by Mrs. Lucile Shipley and presented on April 27 and 28 before full houses. The cast could not help wishing that ,Judge Ben Lind::sey had seen their effort The theme of the play was one well calculated to touch a responsive chord in his heart, and he no doubt would have applauded the court's decision in fayor of unregenerate young .America.

The event ,Thich marked the close of the school year was the junior-senior party May 29. 'T'1enty-four entertained twenty-three with a program at th high chool auditorium, followed by a dance in the paYilion at Antelope park.

In September the class came back, thi time as senior , entitled by precedent to the lion's share of everything, including the best seats in assembly. Delbert Judd was the successful candidate for pre iclent.

Senior clas day was the biggest event of the first semester. The various committees had a busy week preceding October 19. On that morning all the members of the class gathered in 226 at eight o'clock. Here they were decked out with streamers, canes a.nd comical hats. Two by two they marched into the anditorium and sang their class song, written by ,v. Keith Miller. The program consisted of instrumental and vocal solos and a short farce, Suppressed Desires, presented by Sam Bignell, Ethelyn Ayres and Gertrude RmYe. A visitor during the day might well have wondered at the curiosities of education, to see dunce-capped eniors parrying and lunging in impromptu encounters with canes as weapons. Charles Benbroolr and Ernest Clary acquitted themselves nobly, annihilating their opponents, and shivering their "lances" in fine fashion.

The senior banquet was held that eyening in the high school cafeteria, with the majority of the class present. The toast list was pre ided over by Delbert ,Judd, and although some of the remarks and recollections in the various toasts hinged on the slightly personal, no fatalities are known to have resulted. The banquet was followed by a dancing party in the gymnasium.

The class play, The Admirable Crichton, by James Barrie was presented with great success December 14 and 15. The title role of the flawless and re~ourceful butler was played by Wayne Gratigny. Richard House, Helen Anderon and Keith Miller had important parts.

The cla s won new laurels when its debating team defeated the class of '26 and won the new Magee cup for the current year. The senior team consi ted of Evert Hunt, ,Tohn Skiles and Charles Speedie. Skiles served as a class debater four years, and "never lost a case."

The winter class, numbering ninety-seven members, was· graduated on J·annary 25. The Rev. Paul C. Johnson delivered the address. Harold Zipp was president of the class, and Donald Robb was secretary

The last six week before graduation were full of excitement. In rapid succession came the olympics, the class picnic, class day and the junior-senior party. In many ways, these last six weeks were the happiest of all the four years. The school had done much for the class, and in return the class endeavored to create a lasting impres ion upon the school.

There is one word in the dictionary which ha · newr been properly defined. That word i. ''sponsor". In the ca e of l1i s Margaret Da ·ds and Miss Inez Cook, sponsors of the class of '24, it would eem a if the following definition might erve:

"Spon ·or are per:-;on who combine all the rare qualities of efficiency, tact, ingenuity~ and patience in such a way that they are able to attend endless committee meeting , prepare for numerous and Yaried functions, carry responsibility for all the actiYities of the cla s,-and yet remain • ane and human."

.Stu~~nt <Council

tudent participation in government ha been maintained in Lincoln high school for seyen years. Many mistakes ha Ye been made, but from year to year the practical succe s of the student council has become more evident. Its authority has expanded, and it ha come to occupy an important po _ition in the affair of the school. Each sncces fre council ha endeavored to maintain the precedents established by former council , and to do som.e original work for the school.

Tumerous matters, which seem minor in themselves, but which demanded an unusual amount of work, were brought before the council during the past year. It continued the policy of keeping guards at the stairways during lunch periods and at the lockers between classes. Signs were also printed and displayed in the various restricted areas, to remind and warn students whenever they should venture into forbidden territory.

To fill a long-felt need, the council establi hed a courtesy committee. This committee conducted visitors about the building and furnished cars to take sick students to their homes. It also a.rranged for hotel accommodation and transportation for the visiting athletic teams. The committee was compo ed of Otho DeVilbiss, Gordon Hager and am Bignell.

Another task was the prepara .tion for school color day. New features were added, increa ing the importance of the occasion and maintaining it as a worthy tradition. Keith Miller, Helen Anderson, Dorothy Howard, Fern Pringle and Joy Mickel worked on this committee.

A matinee party committee, consi ting of Richard Smith, John Skiles, Gertrude Rowe, Margaret Adams and Otho DeVilbiss, conducted a series of matinee parties on the plan originated last year. Tho e who doubted that the parties could be conducted without charge and with volunteer music were convinced otherwise.

In harmony with a nation-wide observance of father and son week, the council arranged that the Omaha Central game should be a father and son day game.

A Red and Bla.ck home-coming day was also inaugurated, in acknowledgment of the services rendered by Lincoln high chool alumni in supporting the ovaL

• Probably the greatest project undertaken ,vas the dedication of the oval. A council committee, composed of Fern Pringle, Sam Bignell, Helen Ander on and Charles Speedie, arranged the ceremonies and conducted the program.

These, in brief, are the activities of the student council for the past year.

TWIn the sprmg of 1923 the student bodv of Lincoln high school embarked on a great undertaking-the wall project. Huge though the ta k seemed, it has been accomplished. Under the guidance of the student council an oval has been con trncted capable of eating over five thou and people. Built at a co t of $21,000, it occupies approximately 129,000 square feet of ground at the ,,est of the high school building.

The oval i purely a Lincoln high school project; it has already been half paid for by students and alumni, and in a short time the entire debt incurred will have been discharged. The fund have been secured largely through contribution . from rnriou organizations. ,vi1en alumni cla ses heard of the plan, they ha tened to contribute their funds, many of which were in liberty bond pur- chased during the war. The regular calendar of chool e,ents ha in no way been expanded that more money might be ecured.

The high school oval ha long been con idered In previous years the high school had to go to the uniYersity to play its games. This field wa ome ditance from the high chool and, in addition, it was always hard to secure The tmiver ity and high chool schedules often conflicted and the university players u ually wanted to use the field for practice. Delay and a good deal of persua- sion were alway in,olved, and ometimes scheduled games had to be postponed

In the fall of Hl:23 the need of a definite place for the high chool football games became acute. A joint e . ion of the student conncil and the faculty committee on tu dent affairs, with M. C Lefler, George ,v. ,vood , Earl Johnson and M. L. Palmer, was called by Mr. Shepherd February 21, 1923. The entiment of the council and the others pres 0 nt vrn for a wall.

A motion made by ~Ii Pound, that a committee of students and faculty be appointed to lay the plan before the school board for con ideration, was passed.

THE LINKS

The committee appointed ,ms composed of Grace Ko ter. Otho De Vilbi , Miss :Mariel C. Gere, .r. Y. Haye , ,V. H. Browne and Earl .Johnson. The matter wa brotwht before the board of education on April 3. 102:3. Their an ·wer was, """\Ye go on recor l a , fayoring your project."

In order to learn the . entiment of the entire ·chool, bulletin • were ent to all the home rooms fully explaining the undertaking. This was done on April :\ Hl23. That cla)r and next, during lengthened home room period , the ma.tter "·a. discus rd and a Yote ,Ya. taken. Each home room Yoted in fayor of the wall, in eYery case by a nearly unanimous Yote.

~\t the council meeting May 16 Mr. Shepherd reported that 6,500 could be pnt into the hands of the contra.ctor and that work would be begnn on the oYal.

Forty Lincoln busines men Yoluntarily loaned their credit in financing the undertaking. They ignecl the note which made the building of the oYal po sible . )I. L. Palmer took charo-e of the notes and Charle Stuart volunteered to act a trnstee of the fnnd.. Following is the li ' t of the business men ,,ho npportecl the ornl project:

Lin c-oln high school publicly recognized the completion of the work by dedication exercises held October 30, 1923. Judge Frederick E. Shepherd, who made the dedicatory address, said in part, "I dedicate this stadium to the tars that have shone nnd are to shine, and to port ·manship, not the kind that is full of the Inst for ::-mcce ·s-bnt the kind that stands for a game on the leYel and rock the stands at a o·oocl play by either team.''

Homer P. hephercl, principal of the high school, should be giYen credit for the "·ork he hn • done in connection with the undertaking. From the time when it exi. ted only a a hazy plan until its actual completion, he has been an undaunted worker for the oYal.

La ck of pace permit that only a brief summary of the financial report i.ned b~T )fr. Charle , tuart, custodian of the fund, be giYen. The total sum turned oYer to Ir. tnart for the school year 1922-1023 ·ffas 6,4:30.!H and for the pre ent :chool year np to May 1, 5 05--!.02.

During five years existence the Orph eons have succeeded in their purpose of promoting interest in music throughout Lincoln high chool. They have sponsored many musical programs and have done much to arouse interest in music. In addition, the school is indebted to the Orpheons for the band uniforms and the new grand piano.

This year at the club meetings the usual program, in which each club member has a part once a semester, has been followed . In addition the club has adopted a new plan in harmony with the slogan, "To know more music and more about music." At one meeting a list of ten compositions is announced, at the next a fact about each is given, and at the following meeting the compositions are played to determine how many remember the composer and the piece.

Try-outs for membership are held twice each semester; the members of the band, glee clubs and first orchestra become members automatically on the payment of dues and attendance at meetings.

A is the usual experience of Lincoln high school, the lecturers who have appeared on as:::;embly programs this year have given their audience abundant food for thought.

·'We have maintained since the time of the forming of the constitution, the be t government that has ever been given to a people," declared Judge E P. Holmes in the first assembly of the year, held during constitution week. Mr. Holme laid stress on the duty of every citizen to obey the laws et forth in the constitution and to correct any defects by legal procedure.

Mr. C. Petrns Peterson, in assembly the foJlowing day, defined his idea of a good government, one tha.t is neither despotic nor chaotic. In summing up his talk, he quoted the high position taken by George ·washington in hi speech before the constitutional conYention when that body was arguing oYer half-way measures. "It js aJl too probable that nothing we propose will be accepted, but if "\Ye propose something in ·which ,Ye ourselves do not believe, how shall we defend our action?"

The ReYerend "'Y. T. Elmore, pastor of the Fir;;t Ra ptist Church, described his recent European trip. He was able to discern the state of mind of the people, and his conclusion is that another great war is impending.

Yictm'ies of Pea ce was the subject of a speech by Professor John D. Hicks giYen during education week. Mr. Hicks asserted that in the past patriotic societies have rejoiced more in the victories of war than in those of peace, but that the accomplishments of peace are the more important. Three great achievements of peace , as stated by Professor Hicks, are free education, religious liberty and woman suffrage.

"Literature is an interpretation of life," declared Dean Philo L Buck. "No man is really literate unless he has some solution to the problem of living-the most interesting game in the world. How are you going to play the game? How are you going to know the rules of the game?" The answer to this problem is to be found in books. Life has been more difficult and harder to follow in the last few hundred years, and it takes a man of wonderful ability and understanding to establish himself beside Shakespeare and other great writer of times past. ,Yriters of today do not seem so great as those of form.er days because life has become Yery much harder to portray. One's speech is an x-ray to one's thoughts. A person wjth a careless, slovenly mind will be instantly betrayed when he peak . Dean Bnck wishes that the students might be able to list.en to a record of their speech for just one day. He believes that it would drive them to good literature as a means of acquiring good speech.

""'Ve seek friends who will count in the long run. Once in a while we find a friend who rings true and hold him. That is what we should do with books," stated Professor Paul Grummann, speaking in book week assembly. Professor Grnmmann lauded the American poets. He also believes that every student should be acquainted with "'Vashington's maxims, one of which, "Better to be alone than in bad company," he urged his hearers to •apply to their election of books.

In the next lecture assembly, Major Harry Ingles, a Lincoln high school alumnus, spoke on The P1·oblem of Self-Oove ,rmnent in the Philippines. Each island tribe speaks its own dialect, so th at all told there are eight basic languages

·'~.\ l raham Lincoln en ed the diYine purpose and ought to let it find expre. ion through his life. That is the ecret of hi greatne. , ' declar d Dr. A. A. Brooks in . peaking on the one hundred and fifteenth anniYersary of Lincoln· birth. Dr. Rrook. sketched the life of Lincoln and gaYe what eemed to him the · reasons for the greatne ·s of the "tallest man since Jesus Christ". He related ome interesting stories of Lincoln during the Civil ,Yar, and in closing aid, '1fo man e,~er bore the· burdens of other::; and suffered other hardship more than .... bra- ham Lincoln.,.

''I pity the American people w-ho have not carried on the "·ork of the un- known soldier and of ,v oodrow "Tilson," said Hamilton Holt, former editor of the Independent magazine, in an address on . lmerfra and lF orld Peace. Mr. Holt thinks, how-ewr. that there i ·omething in the heart of the American people. tending toward world peace. Over ixty thou and people paid tribute to the unknown soldier a he lay in state at the Capitol and later, ~£teen thousand howed their respect to Mr. Wilson. Mr. Holt de cribed the interment of the unknmvn soldier a::; the mo t tremendou pectacle he had ernr ,Yitne sed. At the Peace Conference, Mr. ,Vil ·on held the lirn.elight. Mr. Holt who was a cor- respondent, relaterl the difficulty he had in getting a chance to Yiew the conference. When President " 7 ilson arose to speak, every eye w-as fixed on him. :X ot a ou11d broke the ilence. The tribute wa even greater than the loude t ap- plan. e.

The )fommers introdnced their corning play, Pomandm ' lr alk, by giving hvo hort "rut " from the cene in the play.

On December 10 a mysterious hidden art gallery wa brought before the public gaze for the fir t time. The wonderful portraits that it contained gave the . tudent. orne conception of the senior play, Th e .,_ldmfrable Crichton.

The junior , in adverti:ing their play, pre , ented a sketch entitled A Slice fmni a Dr ess Relz ea1'sal. The real facts concerning rehearsal , hitherto unre~ vealed, produced uch an effect on the student that the class was compelled to pre ent the play on two nights.

The all girls league made its debut a. an a embly entertainer January 15. Character dancing, voice and piano solos, and an overalled choru made up a varied and delightful program. The feature number, however, was a kitchen ymphony orche. tra, which, with culinary instruments, rendered very skillfully a weird and difficult melody.

The cla ~ of '2G made it fir t official appearance before the school in the an- nnal sophomore as embly. A boys octet, a chorus of ten girl. ,,ho sang of the importance of their cla · ., dancing and a Yiolin and 'cello duet composed the first part of the program. The climax of the entertainment wa an elaborate Metropolitan "opera," an amusing extravaganza with flaming footlights, a huge chorus, an enchanting heroine, a desperate villain anrl la t of all a hero with a mam- moth rhry anthemmn.

A hint as to the variety of the program . may be irathered by a glance at the nrnnbers for the annual alumni assembly.

Do we find our true selves in our conscious or subconscions minds? Are our expressed or suppressed desires the more urgent and deserving of satisfaction? hould one let a revelation of the subconscious endanger happiness? Such are the question rai ed by a clever one-act play entitled S1.tppressed D esfres, given by three seniors in enior color day a embly.

Henrietta Brewster is a convert to psychoanalysis. "'Vhen she learns through an analysis by the famous Dr. Lewis that her husband, Stephen Brewster, has a suppre sed desire to leave her, she still clings to her beliefs. But when her sister Mabel discovers that her suppressed desire is for Stephen, the situation is altered. Henrietta decides to repudiate her beliefs and keep her husband, pre erving the happiness of all concerned.

There are few traditions in our new western institutions, but Lincoln high school has established a very beautiful one in the annual Christmas assembly. Although there is little change in the program from year to year, the students seem to grow more fond of it each time that it i • given.

A spirit of hushed reverence pervaded the auditorium on the Friday before Christmas. The stndents entered the assembly very quietly as the chorus sang 0 Little To·wn of Bethl ehem All was in darkness except the stage, across which thirty-three candles were arranged to represent the years of Christ's life. At each end stood a lighted Christmas tree banked with fern . Old carols, sung by boys in the corridors, came to the audience from a distance. The chorus sang The Three Kings; solo parts were taken by Kenneth Loder, Richard Smith and "'Villiam N ewens.

The Reverend "'Valter Aitken of St. Paul Church spoke briefly on the spirit of Christmas. The assembly closed with the singing of Silent Night.

On a tage fittingly decorated for l\Iay day the third annual tyle show was held May 1. The May queen, Virginia Raymond, was chosen by the girls of the ewing classe She walked to the throne preceded by her four attendants, Pricilla Boyd, Ernestine McNeill, Anna Ford and Dorothy Howard, who carried long shepherdess crooks tied with tulle bow .

Girl dressed in gingham apron played games depicting the first signs of spring. Next came the queen's entertainer who were followed by girls honoring the queen. They came in by two and walked to the center of the stage, turned slowly to display their dres es and then bowed to the queen. All the dresse worn, even those of the little :flmrnr girls, were made by the girls in the e wing classes.

)Ir. T S . Dunn whipped hi cohorts into shape and thoroughly drilled them in correct tactics during the first semester. Thi training and organization of the squad was largely instrumental in the rapid progre which wa made after the state league que tion was announced, "Resolved, that immigration to the United States should be further restricted."

The season opened with little cheering, although our mental warriors presented us with a double victory over Hasting Underwood, House and Speedie succeeded in convincing two of the judges that the affirmative was right. They did this at the foreign city The outcome at Lincoln was even more favorable, for on the ame day Hunt, De Vilbiss and Skiles tabulated all three vote in their favor . This dual contest with Ha ting initiated the olemn pledge of the quad, "Sati faction guaranteed or your money cheerfully refunded," for by this time a season ticket campaign ha.d been launched.

However, all wa not such clear sailino-. Early in February Smith, Laymon nml ~Iiller were obliged to yield a decision to Geneva. It wa not a league debate.

The immediate te t for the continuance of power came in the first league debate, near the end of February. Cathedral fell heir to this lot .

Havelock u:ffered like fate. On March 25 they politely bowed to Lincoln. Hou e, Underwood and Hunt were th(j men of the day. This time the affirmative as erted itself. The Red and Black orator , purred on by victory, with harpened tongues and grea ed ja ws, met the Univer ity Place warrior in April and trounced them to a decisive defeat, in full mea ure for last year di aster.

Lincoln ,vas determined to "-in and thus crown the season with a grand victory, ju t a she had done last year when .-he beat Central. Lincoln had won permanently the cup offered the previon three years. This year Central gave u ome of our o,vn medicine with a 3 to O defeat.

DeVilbiss had been a fir t tringer throughout last season so he had the edge on hi mates at the tart this year, but Hunt, Underwood and Skile matched him by the end of the eason . Underwood did not join the squad until the second emester, but he downed his rivals and claimed a berth for mo t of the debate Hunt likewi e made the first squad. He focused hi strength on logi c and conclusiYe statement . Skiles and peedie were consistent support in the contesting machine.

This memorable event occurred in a semb ly. The sop homor e team, composed of Eugene Robb, Burke Smith and Hamilton Hatfield, argued for the affirmative. The question was, "Re olYed, that immigration to the T nited tate hould be prohibited for a period of five years."

Omaha Tech entertained Lincoln at Omaha on October 20. The football game, which was the entertainment provided for the vi itors, was bitterly contested all the way. Tech threatened to core' everal times during the game. Lincoln showed genuine football, however, handing them a 20 to O defeat. The spectacular playing of "Jug" Brown and Dorsey McIntyre featured the Links victory.

Grand I land, bent on humbling Lincoln at an_v cost, came to the Capital City October 27. The en uing fray was a crap from tart to finish. The I landers showed a fine disregard for rule early in the second quarter. From then on, the re ult was not in doubt.

The new oval was packed to capacity X oYember 17 to see Omaha Central and Lincoln collide in the gridiron classic of the state. The Link were beaten but not without a bitter fight. "Blue" Howell, Marrow and Thomas were the main co 0 ·s in the Central machine. The Omaha team worked like a piece of well-oiled machinery. Penal.tie at critical period prevented the Link from cro ing Central's goal line. 'Jug" Brown, Gail Curtin and Dor ey McIntyre, the latter playino- with a broken rib, carried the brunt o-f the attack -for Lincoln.

The Links traYeled to eward again on T oYember 2 This time they played Rewa.rd seminary, which had previously beaten Seward high. The best Lincoln could do was to get a tie game. However, a 6 to 6 tie with the seminary was some remuneration, for it showed who had all the luck on October 12 in the ame city.

Omaha Central re erYes were the next victim Though ovember 17 wa a a whole disastrous to Lincoln, Omaha did not carry off all the honors. The Lincoln reserves covered themselves with glory by winning their game 19 to 0.

"Jug" had the Ashlanders dizzy from watching him twist, pivot and dribble for baskets around the Ashland guards. Kahler al o counted frequently for the Link s. The score was 46 to 14 in favor of Lincoln.

The next game was at ·waverly. The Waverlyite are always anxiou to try out their strength on Lincoln teams, and on this occa s ion they showed up very well. The game wa clo e and hard fought. Hampered somewhat by the smallness of the court the Links found difficulty in teaming the ball.

'\Yally Marrow of Central was closely guarded by Captain Corrick and Kahler, but he managed to slip in everal neat baskets from the sidelines. Brown and Kahler were re ponsible for most of the Link.' points. The final score was 30 to 19, Lincoln holding the long end.

In the second half, however, they staged a rally and came perilou ly near overtaking the LinlT '\Yarren for University Place and Brown for Lincoln were high point men.

Lincoln played Omaha Central the following da3 and again lost the deci ion. Marrow of Omaha wa hitting them from any place on the floor. The reader has three gues es as to who was high point man for the Links.

Hastings' aspirations were cru hed when he invaded the Capital City February 15. Displaying a wonderful offen ive but a very ragged defensive, the vi itors were doomed from the start. Tilger and Marvel both played good games for Ha tings. Brown, Acker and hapiro did their best for Lincoln. Brown scored 17 points. Final score 37 to 10.

Geneva played a much better game again t the Red and Black February 22 at Lincoln than she had at home. Geneva threatened Lincoln's lea.d during the last half but "Jug" Brown was still in the game. ..Acker played a very neat pas ~ing o-ame. Maring tarred for Geneva.

Lincoln again attempted to win a game at Omaha on February 23, this 6me playing Creighton Prep but with no better succes than before. Brown and Corrick featured the Lincoln play, while O'Brien and Coffey made Creighton' s points. The score tood 10 to 20.

The next game was with Fremont on Frida.y afternoon. The Red and Black through the Lincoln defen e, while 'Jug", "Pinky" and Wittie were shooting athletes again took home the bacon. Grey, the Fremont ace, was unable to break them in from any angle. The final sco re stood 21 to 10 in Lincoln's :favor.

Friday evening Lincoln went into the semifinals with Omaha Central. Lincoln had the best of the argument in everything except making points. Shot after shot rolled out for Lincoln. Omaha Central, on the contrary, was "right". Although they got but one short shot, they proceeded to roll up their score by shooting long shots and foul tosses. The score was 16 to 10.

Omaha. Central played Creighton Prep for the championship Saturday night, Creighton, one of the cla siest teams in the tournament walked off :from Central easily. Omaha Central fought hard but was completely outclassed. The final result was 22 to 9.

A I sit here at the table, I can hear the slow step of someone coming down the stairs. There is a pause at intervals and I know it is my grandmother taking seven long deep breaths, a practice she has followed for many years as one of her general health measures.

A dinner is not quite ready, she asks £or the evening paper, ,,vhich she rea.ds slowly and carefully in spite of the weakness of her one useful eye. Her other reading is the Bible, the old family Bible with the gold worn from the edges by constant use. She already knows it from beginning to end, but she still contiimes to read and reread it.

She is very sensitive to drafts and as the downstairs is never as waJ.·m as her room, one of the family goes for the long white shawl which is draped over her thin, frail shoulders as she sits by the register.

"When dinner is served, she always says "Amen", no matter who says the blessing. Then she proceeds slowly to sip a cup of "pearl tea" before eating ' anything. She never drinks while she is eating, but after the meal she drinks a glass of salt water. Even though she is so elderly she can hardly get around, she always asks if she can help with the dishes while mother takes a nap.

The weekly event of her life is going to church Sunday morning. It is hard to keep her from getting ready too early in the morning, and every sermon, good or bad, to her is a "wonderful spiritual message". It is always a keen disappointment to her if she cannot grasp the hand of the minister and tell him so.

Nearly all of her correspondence is written on post cards, but when she does write a letter, she always encloses a leaf or a flower.

From almost the very beginning of the ,v. C. T. U. she has been a most :faithful worker, and she always wears her little white ribbon, the symbol of the organization. One of the most important decorations of her room, along with her collection of post cards and pictures, is her string of ·w. C. T. U. convention badges, representing almost every meeting of her own state and national organizations.

She has many quaint expressions. One of them is, "After dinner rest awhile, after supper walk a mile." Both of these she very religiously does. Since she cannot go outdoors to walk now, she walks many times back and forth across the room.

Now · she has gone to her room for the evening and we can hear her quavering voice singing, "It's coming, it's coming, the morn for which we pray. vVe'll take the world for Christ's own kingdom some glad day." ,Ye know that grandmother is enjoying another ,vednesday evening prayer meeting in her own room.

Hidden in a far corner of our attic lie an old di colored oap box. To other people it appear ~ to be a plain wooden box fit only for fir wood, but to me it i the trea ure che t of my childhoo l. Beneath jt ,coYer, carefully packed away. remain all that i left of the numerou tov that once held me enchanted on ;ainy afternoons. They have transported me to foreio-n lands; they have carried me on horse, boat and airplane; they have lifted me to both the north and ' south poles In fact, my toy and a strong imagination haYe enabled me to see a great part of the ,Yorld at very little expense.

Upon opening the box, the first toy ,Ye ee i old Bill. He wa once a prancing young steed on which I took many thrilli1w ride . But now Bill is old and feeble . He tand un teadily on three legs and sawdust drop from a hole in his side.

Then there are my building blocks. with them I haYe bnilt magnificent ca. tle and humble hut , and destroyed them with one sweep of my hand.

Here is Mary Jane, the doll who served as the heroine of all my exploits . Mary is now very sorely in need of a new wig and her scratched face needs the deft touch of a toymaker's brush to re tore her maidenly beauty . But with these improvements and a modern doll dre , Mary Jane would make a very good showing among the "belles of 1924".

:r-ext, I find all that is left of my once glorious regiment of cardboard soldier Ca ualtie have taken a heavy toll and only ix of the original twenty-four . remain . EYen these are u:ffering from shell shock and ghastly wounds. One courageous captain stands waving his sword in the air, still unmindful of the fact that his head was blown o·:ff in his last battle. The mighty cannon that once boomed a note of defiance to all creation is silenced forever . Beside it in a lowl)r decaying heap lie the cork ammunition that so cruelly ent death and terror into the enemy's ranks.

And so it goe on, each toy as it i brought from the box brings back pleasant memories of happy childhood days when imagination reigned king of my make-belieYe world.

'Tis Springtime!

In this paint hop ,,here the air i thick with oil And half a dozen cursing men are bending o'er their toil? pringtime?

Aye! For just one moment let a skilled eye analyze, It see how on these daubed-up wall there 's pringtirne in di guise.

Outside, a late, wet, straggly snow falls sadly from the sky And hoof and " ' heel and boot go slowly slushing, gushing by. But look not out . Look in where Spring her panorama spread, , , 11ere bird and bees are humming and the X aiad dance is tread.

There on that farthest "all, where a brush once nsed in red Has been emptied that it might be nsed in omething else instead, It is morning and the crim . on fill the east sky to the brim. There's a lark, too far awa.y for us to hear hi s morning hymn; Somewhere, down behind those buckets, say in "China 'cross the bay" The huge bright un is waiting for hi cue at break of day.

And here 'tis noon. This wall much more than any of the re s t, Retains the faded blue in which the whole room once was dressed. And there's a cloud (a patch of plaster) floating lightly in the blue, A flock of song birds screaming and a flooded brooklet too. On such a brilliant picture it is sweet to close the eyes, And listen to the zephyrs, and the brooklet' s laughs and cries . Zephyrs? Listen ! Hear tha.t paint brush sliding bri kly o'er a sign? . '\Vhat could sonnd more like a March breeze cool ancl fitful, low and fine? Hear the ripple of the brooklet lapping softly on the brinkThat's the faucet in the next room dripping, dripping in the sink.

So the long noon finally passes, as at last we turn our eyes To the iridescent splendor of the gorgeous western skies, To the wall above Rip's easel where the colors all are tried Like Apollo's brilliant canvas where the sunset tint. are plied I lift my eyes in silence lest some false note spoil the scene And spy high in the zenith some lone bird still on the wing (It's a spot left by a brush, by some hot-head painter flung) But no! It's still a lark, up where his evening chant is sung All is brilliant; all is quiet; every living thing is tired. Evening reigns, the earth is silent, Man with glory is inspired; Slowly plods he from his labors, plods his long thin shadow too Every flmrnr, bent in silence, waits the coming of the dew.

"Hey!" the foreman bawls out bluntly, "Spread some paint upon that sign! vVhat-cha think yer gittin' paid for? Gazin' round ya all the time?" But his words pass in and out. Vanish. A was their intent; For their mission is accomplished when at work again I'm bent; Yet I grieve to think how cold is the existence he must know, " Tith hi body here in Springtime, and his soul out in the snow !

The Monday morning mail had arriYed at the tate Reformatory and the corpulent but energetic uperintendent, after his usual early breakfast with his family, entered his office to open his p ~r onal mail. When a few minute had passed, he emerged into the onter office and addressed any and all of the inmate ,vho chanced to be there.

"Call 1Yei , Carrick, ,ving and Joe :N"eLon.''

After . giYing this order he again disappeared into his office. It was not long before the four men who had been named nervously entered. Their eyes beamed with the joy of expecta.tion, and only their hort breaths and nervous tugging at their clothes told that they had a remote fear of disappointment.

\fter ,Yhat seemed an hour, the superintendent again appeared and surveying the men before him with hi honest blue eyes, exclaimed with the ceremony which he dearly loyes, "Dress out."

As he spoke, the last sparks of doubt were cru hed. Those words, "Dress out," are among the most blessed words a pri s oner can hear. , They tell him he has been paroled and i free to go among men and work as a man.

Shorty w·eis, the colored tenor, beamed above hi usual clean tight collar. Carrick, a weRk, sickly, but hone t looking boy felt his eyes filling as they twinkled with delight. Big Joe Nelson, who could tand on the home plate and throw a ball. rnn to first base and catch it eYery time with his foot on the bag, shifted restles:-;ly from foot to foot and smiled so broadly that every tooth in his head could be seen. If the e three were beaming, then 1Ying, the hinese servant who could "ketchum soup, ketchum bread, ketchum" anything you like, 11as glistening, for hi brown face shone like a. polished chili bean, and the white napkin " ·hich still hung oYer his left arm waYed like a fl.ao- of truce.

These impressions had to be made in one in tant, for in the next, the boys were off to the store room to "dres out." And properly they did dress out, for when they returned they "\Yore loose fitting blue sergP ·nits, made to fit models, not men, and plain black shoe with bulldog toes. But as they chattered with their friend their clothes were the subject of nry little discussion.

"~mv Rhorty," a dvised a friend, "when yo' sign up at de Arcade don't fo'git an' put yo' numba afta yo' name.''

After a prirnte interview with the superintendent, each man Jmffied proudly out Rmong a crowd of admirer and climbed into a Ford ton truck. s the captain p1rnherl open the office creen and bawled out ''0.

There are households in which the feminine member are morally certain that thev could rnn the hou e much better without the mal'e members than with them. They can even bring forward incidents which corroborate their statements. But these families do not own a water-softener. J.ow a water-softener is a delicate and sensitive creature "·ith which only a man is fitted to cope, and woe be..: tide any woman who attempts it.

In our household ther~ was great rejoicing . At last the male member had gone away on a vacation, and now "the fire would be started early, the chickens would be locked up at night, the garden would be watered, the automobile would be handy when wanted," etc. But we own a water-softener!

EYerything went well until Saturday night, when it was time to renew our supply of soft water. Very simple! very easy l Merely close (1) and (2), open ( 3), open the salt hole, put in the salt, and sit down to await developments. A child could do it! So the family adjourned in a body to the cellar, closed (1) and (2) and opened (3). But we had · reckoned without the salt hole. No sooner was the cover loosened than a miniature geyser spouted from it. Thinking to. choke it up and thus stop the performance, we hurriedly dumped in a donble ratio·n of salt. ·was the softener intimidated by it1 Not in the least . In fact, it was only angered, and spouted higher than ever, this time the water being pure brine. Someone suggested stealing upon the machine and clapping on the cover, but the suggestion was rejected immediately. No one cared to risk his life in that briny flood. Then someone else had an inspiration "\Ve might turn on all the. faucets upstairs and drain all the water from the softener. Oh happy thought; ( for the benefit of those who are not on intimate terms with a watersoftener, I will add that the water is perpetually running into the machine, but we did not disco-ver that until the next week, when the man of the house returned.) Upstairs I flew and opened a faucet, but-not a drop of water flowed from it. At this juncture. some tactless individual in the basement ventured to call upstairs that the flow was not in the least abating. The reply she received wilted her instantly.

A council of war ,vas th'3n held about the spouting monster. It was clear that something must be done, and done at once, for there was already an inch of water in the cellar, and prospect for another inch within fifteen minutes unless something happened immediately Finally, in desperation, some brave individual ventured into the room, clapped its co,·er onto the hole, and shrieked a triumphant "Hooray!" The geyser gave a gurgle, a last defiant hiss, and subsided altogether. At the same moment a stream of water issued from the hose, where the directions said it should have gone in the first place. vVhat rejoicing there was! Then I thought of tasting it. No sooner said than done. vVe all stood aghast. It was brine, pure brine made of nine parts salt to one part of water. Then we remembered the double ration. There was nothing to do but sit down and wait for it to run off, which it did-in three hours.

,vhen the man of the house returned the following week, such a welcome as he was given! Let the fire stay out, the chickens roost in the trees, the garden burn up. and the automobile be away when ,rnnted ! Now there was someone to attend to the water-softener! My advice to husbands who are being continually criticised by their wives is, "Buy a water-softener, go away for two weeks, return unexpectedly and just see what happens."

An organization new to Lincoln high school this year is the boys junior glee dub. Three years ago the applicants for entrance into the girls senior glee club became so numerous that a girls junior glee club was formed, but never until the la t semester of this year has the number of boy singers warranted the formation -0£ a boys junior glee club. The fact that there are enough boys with good voices to compose two glee clubs is unusual. o one has ever been able to find out why boys who can sing are more scarce than girls, but they seem to be. However, ince the club has finally come into existence, fine things may be expected of it. Miss Carolyn Reed is the supervisor this year, and under her direction the club has a good start on the road to success.

The seventh annual mid-year concert was presented January 19 to an audience of twelve hundred students and patrons of Lincoln high school. The first part of the program was given by the gle3 clubs and variqus chorus classes under the direction of Mr. H. 0. Ferguson. Their most ambitious number was a choral fantasia arranged from Gounod's Faust. This included most of the best known selections from the opera, the bold and stirring "Soldiers Chorus", the gay, rollicking songs from the kei·messe scene, and the swelling strains of the Redemption music. It is, perhap , the most difficult number ever attempted by the high school chorus.

The second pa.rt of the program was given by the orchestra; under the direction of Mr. Charles B. Righter, Jr. The most important number was the famous unfinished Symphony in B Afinor by Schubert. This is used on the programs of most symphony orchestras. but is seldom attempted by a high school orchestra. Another especially beautiful number was the Swan by Sa.int-Saens, arranged for stringed instruments only.

The climax of the program was a Japanese cantata, The Last Tea of Tsuki 1 sung by the girls glee club. The quaint setting and the gorgeous oriental costumes added much to the beauty of the music. This, also, wa under the direction of Mr. Ferguson.

A large silver cup, given as a trophy to the school "·inning the most point in the state music contest, became the property of Lincoln high chool for one year, on ~ay 3. Helen Sha.rp, contralto soloist, was the individual winner for the senior high school and Beth Miller, pjano soloist, for Whittier junior high. Lincoln entered four group events-orche tra, girl glee club, band and mixed chorus. Of these four events, first place was taken in all but one; the girls junior glee club took second in the class A group.

Although this i the first year that a state music conte t has ever been held, more than fifteen chool entered. It ic:: hoped that the event may become an annual affair.

Lincoln high school' first introduction to Mi, Urquhart took place early in the fall when she gaYe two clever original readings in assembly. Her fir t real entrance into the life of the chool was upon the presentation of the first play of the ~'ear, Pomauder Walli:. It was so refreshi1wly quaint and so cleYerly done that a unique succe . wa scored.

Miss Urquhart receiYed her initial dramatic edu ation at the American Academy of Dramatic Art in Kew York City. Later she took graduate work in English and dramatics at Columbia . uniYersity. For two years previous to her corning to Lincoln she taught in the high chool at Huron, South Dakota . During thi time he also acted as dramatic coach for Huron College

:Nothing rivals the charm of an old English comedy snch as the Mummers presented for their annual play November 9, 1923. FiYe quaint little house , flower-twined and gaily painted, provid ed an effectiYe setting, to which the costuming of the period added greatly.

The tale concern the love a ff airs o-f the inhabitants of Pomander w·alk. First, there is the pretty romance of Marjolaine Lachesnais, who embodies all the youth and snnshine on the walk, and the gallant young naYal officer, Jack Sayle. The reunion of Madame Lache nais, mother of Marjolaine, and Lord Otford, father of Jack, strikes a deeper chord. The pursuit and ultimate capture of Sir Peter Antrobns, "king" of the walk, by Mrs. Pamela Po kett adds a note of comedy. The loYe affair of two entimental creature , Mis Barbara Pennymint, "almost'' a maiden lady, and Mr. Basil Pringle, a soulful Yiolinist, terminates the li t of romances.

Other character are the pompou Jerome Brooke-Ho kyn, with his many affectation ; The Hon. Caroline Thring, aristocratic of air~ ,Jim with his thatch of red hair~ the dainty .1. T anette; the pretty English 1naid, Jane; and the Eyesore, de ignated by the re ident of the walk as their chief trial and tribulation. They are a group of quaint folk of an age gone by, but they seem very human.

A FRESHMA SEES THE OLYMPICS

"Flop" Teal survived the thickest of the fla.g rush without a scratch. When he arrived home, feeling the need of refre hments, "Flop" reached for the milk bottle in the ice box and turned his ankle on the door sill. The damage was not serious, however, and "Flop" is able to get around.

At the end of the first round of light weight boxing two girls in the stands commented on the bout.

"Oh, I wonder who won i" asked one, as the boxer stopped for intermiss10n.

"Why," said the other, in the light of her superior knowledge, "that was just the first inning."

"John, why couldn't the junior stay on the pole during the color rush~,~

"Well, Jim, I don't know, but I aw a woodpecker light on the pole, and after looking at the colors, fly away with great haste."

Anyway the juniors can surely pull for the class, as was demonstrated in the two tug-o'-war events.

In the rod fight the seniors proved better worms than the juniors.

Baily Allison managed to keep his shirt on throughout the fray Friday and when een near his home about four-thirty that afternoon, had not changed it yet.

It would be interesting to check up on the number of shoes that turned up mai:eless after the color rush Friday.

Some o:f the juniors and seniors were in a sad state o:f repair after the color rush. Sam Bignell said that he believed that some one must have had it "in :for him" and whoever it was certainly "took it out" on him in the rush.

Howard Asbury said, "I believe I have enough dust in my lungs to start a fire with."

A certain sleek-haired pup, thinking the manager too slow in starting the olympics last Friday, decided to run a race with himself, as the first event. Round the track he flew twice. When the whistle blew, he had beaten himself to the goal and won the first o:f the olympics event . We all saw a number o:f backless shirts and some that weren't shirts at all, but how many o:f us know the number o:f destroyed shirts there were~ By official count after the dust had settled, exactly twelve shirts were found (in parts).

Try-outs for the team were held on the ba is of lung capacity. T he quartet chosen were Reginald Miller, Harold Kipp, tewart Richmond and Lee Grossman.

The team won its first game with Omaha Central. Each team was supplied with a table, a Ma Jong set and a. book of rules. The team which first deciphered the rules and finished the game was to be considered the winner of the contest.

The game was close. Each team was breathless. The ca.ptain of the Omaha team had ju t picked up the needed block to make a "Pung" and "Ma J ong", when Reginald, glancing over his houlder, perceived the situation. Shouting "Ma Jong", he overturned the Lincoln table and aved the day. Since the O maha players all had engagements at home for the evening, it was impossible to play the game over and Lincoln was conceded the victory. May such tactics ever bring us glory!

The new and unusual-that sparkling reality which is known as the life of each school year-is caught and held forever within the pages of Bureau built annuals. The ability to assist in making permanent such delightful bits of class spontaneity rests in an organization of creative artists guided by some 17 years of College Annual work, which experience is the knowledge of balance and taste and the fitness of doing things well. In the finest year books of American Colleges the sincerity and genu• ineness of Bureau Engraving quality instantly impresses one. They are class records that will live forever.
