Class History

Six hundred strong, the class of 1925 entered Lincoln high school on the twelfth day of September, nineteen hundred and twenty-one. The freshmen made their debut at a program presented by the student council. Wendell Berge, the president of the council, welcomed the class, as did also the mo t ill •strious freshman in school, Mr. H. P. Shepherd. The freshies did not need much welcome for they were already very much at home and they started immediately on their conquering tour.

Miss Wible and Miss Rokahr were chosen as sponsors for the class. The class of '25 is the first in six years which has been so fortunate as to have the same sponsors during its entire high school career. Donald Underwood was chosen the first president. The able officers under him were George Hutton, vice-president; Keith Davis, secretary; and Don Hardin, treasurer.

The class stepped out into class activities at once. · Hunt Davis, Doris Larining, Edna :McDonald and Gordon Hager were its representatives in debate. "Bud" McBride, who was not content with class honors, went to Omaha where he won laurels for the school in a swimming meet. The girls, not to be outdone, showed their class spirit by winning the interclass hockey and baseball championships.

Second semester officers were Clark McBride, president; Donald Underwood, vice-president; H~nt Davis, secretary; Merle Clark, treasurer; and Margaret Adams, editor

Events went smoothly for the rest of the year and when the next fall came, a group of sophisticated sophomores appeared. They were important sophomore citizens!

In its second year, the class of '25 showed its excellent ability ana unusual originality in a sophomore assembly, which even the high and mighty upper classmen declared to be the finest ever given in Lincoln high school. This assembly has served as an im-piration, a goal toward which other classes have worked. But the standard has ~>een to.o high for any but the class of '25.

lVIain features on the "Sopheum" bill for the morning were Ed Walt, Premier Xylophonist; a Classic Co-ed Chorus; J. Michelovitchskwi and Company, Dancers; ~md a tumbling act. The auditorium was decorated in red and white that morning for the initial appearance of the class before the school.

The class was well piloted during the year by Gordon Hager and George Hutton Louise Gardner and John McGreer were the first representatives of the class on the student council. Margaret Adams and Clara Olson were on the all girls league council.

The class gave its corning out party into high school society March 16, 1923. The party was held in the gymnasium. There was a short program, games and dancing. Refreshments were served. "A good time was had by all."

September 1923, brought the cla s of '25 to L. H. S. as proud upper classmen. The class had another reason to be proud for the oval was to be ready for the years first football game.

William Fleming, better known as Bill. ,vas chosen president for the first semester. He, as well as his successor, George Hutton, proved worthy of the honor.

Six junior boys out of the large number who turned out, were successful in making the football team. Guy Cook, Phil Teal, Delmar Warde, Frank Corrick, Newton Lesh and George Segrist were the fortunate ones. At the end of the season~ Teal was elected captain for 1924.

The class gave a Hallowe'en party October 27. Most of the evening was spent in dancing. A program was given and refreshments were served. Orange and black caps were used as favors.

In January the class rings and pins went on sale. The insignia on the jewelrywas oval in shape with a head of Lincoln in relief. Black enamel with the words; -Lincoln H. S., '25 surrounded this.

One of the greatest triumphs of the class came March 21 and 22 when Jack

Straw, by W. omerset Maughan, was presented. Dan Smith played the title role. Ruth Zurbrigen played oppo ite him a Ethel Parker-Jennings. Much of the humor 'Yas provided by Alfred Po ka and Loi Harris as Mr. and Mrs. Parker-Jennings. Erner on Smith, Elizabeth Burnham, Arthur Ziemer , Perry Morton, Ralph Gustafson, \Vilma Elliott and Marion De v ·ilbi -s took the other speaking parts. The proceed from this play exceeded those of any previous junior play.

"Have the Indian come to town?" was the que tion asked May 16 when every junior appeared with a red cross on each cheek. To lend distinction, every senior was marked ,, ith black. The events of olympic morning were many and spirited. Too many, perhaps, for the senior won. Gladys Callender won special honors for the class.

May 29 the cla s was host, or was it hoste , to the senior class at the juniorsenior party which was held at the Scottish Rite temple. During the evening a short program was given. A group of eight girls sang and danced, Bernice Kerr offered a trombone solo, Helen Sharp sang, Elizabeth Burnham played the piano and Joy Mickel gave a solo dance. Punch and wafers were served.

In the fall of 1924, the members of the class of '25 became mighty seniors. How glorious to occupy the auditorium as enior home room.

"I didn't know commencement was today," said one freshman to another on October 24.

"It isn't. It's enior color day and that's why the boys have tho e funny mortar board hats," was the answer.

The grand day began with an assemblv , ,vhich even the juniors declared to be " perfect." The seniors, decked in red and white and led by William Fleming and Julia Rider, pre ident and secretary of the class, entered from the back of the stage and marched down in double file. The class remained standing until after the class song had been sung.

Features of the program were the numbers by the senior octet and a one-act play, The Lost Silk Hat. The seniors in the octet were dres ed in gypsy costume and sang gypsy songs. Howard Rell, Darwin Maynard , Horace Haas, Ridgeway Zelley and Earle McMunn had parts in the play. Musical numbers completed the assembly.

Senior color day was ended with the banquet in the cafeteria. The color scheme was red and white. The toasts carried out the football scheme. William Fleming, as captain, was toastmaster and called for toasts on various ubjects relating to football. John Wintersteen described the Kick-off and Joy Mickel the First Down. Gordon Hager explained the Forward Pass and Julia Rider was next with the Touchdown. Mr. Clements gave the last, The Goal. Dancing followed in the boys gymnasium.

Soon after the girls won the soccer championship by defeating the freshman girls. Disraeli, by Louis ... T Parker, was presented by the class December 19 and 20. The play centers around the buying of the Suez canal. The title role was taken by William Prawl. William was pronounced by many to be the best actor ever presented on the Lincoln high school stage. Lady Beaconsfield, played by Margaret Masterson, wa Dizzy's sole companion in hi struggle for greatness. The parts of the spies were taken by Charles Bruce and Blanche Baumgart. Other important characters were Irene Martin, a very charming young lady, Elizabeth Burnham, Howard Bell, Ridgeway Zelley, Arthur Ziemer and Coral Dubry.

A novel method of introducing the characters was used in the assembly to advertise the pla y . A Turki h magician, through his globe gazing, was able to bring the characters out and introduce them to the under classmen, including the juniors.

One hundred nineteen students ,vere graduated with the winter class. They chose for their pre ident Steven Sterns. The other officers were Douglas Timmerman, vice-president and Bernice Cozad , secretary-treasurer.

The last six weeks of school were filled with occasions. The olympics were May 15. A week later the class of '26 entertained the seniors at the annual junior-senior party at the Scottish Rite temple. And last, not least, but most important, will be graduation with Susan Lau and Charles Bruce as senior speakers.

Senior Sponsors

In the delicate mechanism of a watch one of the most necessary parts is the spring, which causes the wheels to move. The hands, revealing the time of day, are not of lesser importance. Even more indispensable, however, is the balance-wheel which serves both to keep the watch from running down, and to make the motion of the wheels uniform.

This is, perhaps, a very homely example. Nevertheless, our two sponsors have been the balance-wheels of the class throughout our entire high chool career. They have always seemed ready to spur us on with their earnest enthusia::m when our spirit flagged, and always eager to lend a steadying hand whenever such a support was needed. They have not occuJ?ied a limelight position, but rather by means of cooperation with us have made their influence manifest in the smoothly running machinery of the class.

STUDENT AFFAIRS

Student Council

The student council was organized in order to bring the interests of the students before the faculty, to provide opportunities for student cooperation in the internal government of the school, to promote the general welfare of the school and to foster a sentiment for law and order. In order that the student body might become better acquainted with the purpose, organization and problems of the student council, two assemblies were held at the beginning of the year in which these were fully explained. A plea was made that the students cooperate more willingly with the student council.

As is customary, the student council had charge of the school color day. A ne•v type of pennant was introduced this year.

The policy of the guarding of the halls by students during lunch periods has been continued. Also, the lockers have been guarded during each period. This was under the direction of the student council. A committee from the council printed questionnaires and circulated them in the home rooms in order to find out, approximately, the amount of theft from lockers.

This year the council petitioned the faculty committee on student affairs for an adviser. Miss S. Adelia Winter was appointed to that position. The appointment was made by Mr. Shepherd with the approval of the council.

Two dozen armbands with the letters S. C. were purchased to be worn by council members when on special duty. Small pins with Council, L. H. S. on them were purchased to be worn by council members while in school. It is believed that these pins will serve to remind the wearers of their duty as well as to remind the students of the responsibility of the council members.

A new plan of conducting the matinee parties has been introduced. The students are no"': admitted by couples. This reduces the numbers of spectators which crowd the gymnasmm.

One of the most important pieces of work done by the present council is the new system of rating and limiting the student activities. This system was worked out with the help and advice of the faculty committee It was then submitted to the vote of the student body and carried by a large majority. It went into effect the second semester of this year.

Another project sponsored by the student council was the publishing of the Red and Black handbook. With the valuable help of Miss Louise Miller this book was published and sold to the school.

Joy night was under the direction of a joint committee of council members and faculty. The student council did not take part in the joy night program, but a humorous paper, Joy Breezes, was published by council members and sold to the audience.

More than ever before was done to help new students at the opening of the second semester. The council members met the entering freshmen in the auditorium, explained many phases of the school to them and, after a program, escorted them to their home rooms. There, with the help of members of the all girls league, they helped the new pupils to fill out their enrollment and program cards and answered such questions as arose. Early in the emester a party was held in the boys gymnasium for the students who entered in January.

The constitution of the tudent cooperative body was revi ed, voted upon and passed by the home room representatives, student council and the faculty committee on student affairs. Under the new constitution the council is active until a new one is elected in the fall. Also, the home room representatives are allowed to elect their chairman from their own group.

A committee of council members worked with a faculty committee to collect funds to apply on the debt on the oval. The profits of Joy Breezes, amounting to about sixty dollars, have been turned over to the wall fund by the student council.

A bulletin from the president of the council is issued to each home room representative at regular intervals. Through these the students are made more familiar with the work of the student council.

All Cir ls League

The all girls league council is one of the most important organizations of the school. Not only does the council take care of the guarding of the halls, but it extends a welcome to all girls entering Lincoln high school for the first time. The girls decorate the auditorium for all athletic assemblies and take charge of the lost and found articles that accumulate in the office. To help the students of the school get acquainted with each other "hello day" was established. Two parties each year are given for the girls by the all girls league council for the same purpose. By attending these parties the girls have become acquainted with each other, and have enjoyed myriad pleasant associations.

The membership of the council consists of six seniors, four juniors and two sophomores. The president of the league is the girl holding the highest office in the student council.

Home Room Representatives

The home room representative body in Lincoln high school corresponds to the lower house of Congress. This group, which is very important in the student cooperative system, is made up of one representative from each home room in the school.

The representatives serve as an auxiliary to the student council. It is their duty to convey ideas from their home rooms to the council and to take back the suggestions and plans of the council.

This year the representatives were given more definite duties than ever before. They have helped to control the hall traffic and sell colors and athletic tickets. The senior home room representatives met to decide the photographer for the Links.

ASSEMBLIES

UHEiTA l{LtlN

Assemblies

"Assembly today. Group B will attend, group A will spend the assembly period in the home room." Who of us has not been thrilled or disgusted ( depending on the group in which he was) to hear such an announcement in the morning bulletin? What is more fun than to be a senior and sit in the front row and laugh at your friends on the stage? Oh, what a dull existence it would be, were it not for the assemblies? But assemblies may be serious as well. There are times when many of us are just a little bored and other times when we really appreciate the most serious assembly. You see, "variety is the spice of life."

Perhaps the most frequent type of assembly is that in which something-almost anything-is being advertised. In fact, at the very first assembly of the year some of the members of the Advocate staff tried to convince us that we should subscribe to the Advocate. Gregg McBride of the sport staff of the Lincoln Daily Star talked about newspaper work. Miss Viola Gray gave several whistling solos.

Some time later the Mummers, having practiced for many long weeks, decided they had attained sufficient excellence to present their play, If I Were King. To aid the sale of tickets they had charge of an assembly. Emerson Smith introduced the characters in the play, and a scene from the first act was given. A one-act play, The Widow's Feil, presented by Ruth Mayhew and Elizabeth Thornton concluded the program.

The setting of the play is in an Irish tenement and centers particularly around a dumb-waiter shaft. The husband of Mrs. McManus, a recent bride, is very ill. Mrs. Phelan, in anticipation of the funeral, borrows a handsome widow's veil to lend to her neighbor, which, by the way, is very becoming to the widow-to-be. The difficulty arises when Mr. McManus recovers and there is no use for the veil. Even the young bride is sorry "she can't be wearin' it".

The next assembly of this sort was for the girls of the school. It was presented by the all girls league council to advertise the semi-annual all girls party. A program on the songs of the Civil War was given by Miss Louise Pound of the University of Nebraska and Mrs. Lenore Burkett Van Kirk. Miss Pound explained the songs and Mrs. Van Kirk sang them. They were divided into four groups: songs of the Civil war proper; sentimental songs; negro songs, made up of old plantation melodies; and miscellaneous songs. Julia Rider told the girls about the "backward" party that was to be held November 26. "Wear any kind of clothes you want, just so you wear them backwards," were the instructions.

On December 2, Lincoln high school ·was indeed fortunate in having as speakers of the morning the most prominent men in the United States senate. Senator Underwood ( in the person of Douglas Timmerman) , Senator Pepper ( who other than Charles Bruce?), Senator Wheeler (Reginald Miller, of course), Senator Borah (yes, it was Perry Morton), Senator Hitchcock (impersonated by Frank Ross), Senator Hiram Johnson ( Gordon Hager did it perfectly) and Senator Lafollette ( Paul Marti and his hair) took part in the debate ; "Resolved, that the United States should join the League of Nations." This debate program was arranged largely to give prominence to debate and it preceded the sale of debate tickets.

A Turkish magician, and his gazing globe were used by the class of '25 to advertise their play Disraeli. The representatives of the under classes came before this magician complaining that Disraeli sounded dull and uninteresting. By gazing into the crystal the weird Turk succeeded in causing all the characters of the play to appear and repeat a few of their lines. The senior boys double quartet sang, and Helene Clement appeared in a solo dance.

Shortly after Christmas vacation the Orpheons presented an assembly ostensibly to present the new Mason and Hamlin grand piano to the school. Of course, we all knew there was a catch in it somewhere and before the assembly was over we were heing urged to buy a ticket to the mid-year concert. The piano was purchased jointly by the class of '23 anci the Orpheons. The class turned their money over when they were

1 9 I 2 s

graduated, but it has taken the proceeds of the succeeding operas and mid-year concerts to finish paying for the piano. Raiph McGoogan, '23, made a short talk; the Hayden double string qu:utet played; and a contralto solo by Hel en Sharp , '25. concluded the program.

The class of '26, who simply will be in the lime-light, presented an assembly to advertise their play, A Kiss for Cinderella. Mrs. Ethelyn Bignell Matson sang a group of songs and the cast of the play was introduced, but the real attraction of the program was Orville Andrews and his irresistible "jazz". OrYille proved to be a really gifted and fascinating entertainer and was uproariously received bv the entire audience.

•

By far the cleverest of advertising assembles ( in our opinion) was the one given to-well, to say it point blank-urge the sale of the Links. The Lincoln high school cro!-sword puzzle team entered into a contest with all the other large schools of Kansas, Iowa, Colorado, l\1innesota , Missouri, etc., etc. This contest was staged before the high school assembly on February 26.

Advertising two things at the s~me. time was the purpose of two assembles held the first week in April.

After many delays and postponements the Red and Black handbook was finally ready to go on sale. The staff arranged for two assemblies so that the entire school could know about it. Since joy night was to come on April 17 and 18, this opportunity was taken to advertise it also. Mr. Ferguson made a talk each day and, judging from the laughing and giggling that ensued, they were both successful. The first day l(Oz" Black, cartoonist on the Lincoln Daily Star, gave a chalk talk and Verna Trine of the University school of music played two selections on the piano . The second day the reader of the Wesleyan glee club gave several readings and a string trio played. At each of these assemblies a member of the Red and Black staff gave a sales talk. If one were to ask all the students in high school what kind of assembles they like best, the chances are that the majority of them would vote for athletic assemblies. At any rate such occasions are much in demand. The all girls council always strews red and black crepe paper around the auditorium and brings out the old trophies and pennants to put on the stage until the whole assumes a most festive appearance.

Such an assembly was held on October 1. The main object of the morning was to introduce the 1924 football squad. What is a football assembly without the band? On this morning the band played and we sang and yelled until the team got a little of our enthusiasm, at least they won the game with Kearney a few days later. Those boys in the school who so delight in getting out in front of the mob at football games and doing acrobatic stunts, tried out for the position of cheer leader. At the close of the assembly Mr. Foster Matchett explained how the athletic ticket sale would be conducted. Since we enjoyed ourselves so much at this assembly, most of us were tempted to buy a ticket.

In the middle of December when the snow was on the ground, another such assembly was held. It was the close of the football season and the letters were being given. Again the band provided stirring music. The band deserves much appreciation for what they do in behalf of athletics. Henry Schulte, coach at the University of Nebraska , who is well known to high school students, gave a short talk. But , ~f course, the big event of the morning was the presenting of L's. Coach Browne awarded the first team letters. When Coach Gautsch presented the second team letters, he remarked that sometimes he felt as thoue;h these carried with them more hard work than the first team letters. "It's no joke to go out and get beaten by the first team four nights a week," he said.

o special attempt was made to rouse spirit for basketball games until just before the tournament. Since the band was getting ready to go to St. Louis, it did not play. But the dramatization of Young Lochinvar, given by some of the most eminent actors in the high school, proved a good substitute. Joy Mickel read the original ballad, which was then dramatized with modern costumes, modern properties, and extremely modern language. There is no doubt about it, it was a unique mixture. By special agreement, the Lower Hall Quartet sang. One-half of the quartet was W illiam ewens and Donald Underwood, the other half was Earle Mcl\1 unn

There are a few assemblies that we have had year in and year out until they have become traditions. Senior color day is one of these. In I 91 7 the senior cla s departed from the old cu , tom of having a "slouch" day and inaugurated color day. Since then each enior cla s has felt called upon to do the same. The big event of the day is the assembly given the fir. t thing in the morning. The class of '25 upheld this tradition, in fact, even uplifted it, as shown by the program they presented un October 24, I 924.

Iot long after this the annual school color dav wa held, and an assembly w?..s given under the auspices of the student council. 1'he boys glee club sang, M iss E. ovak gave a few readings and Robert laymaker played several xylophone selection

At this time the new high school song, There Is No Place Like Our Old Lincoln High, was presented to the school. On this day also. Mr_ Shepherd conferred the title of "pep artist" on H. 0. Ferguson, and through "Fergie's efforts" a greater proficiency in this art was attained by the rest of the people in the assembly.

An atmosphere very unlike that which pervades other assemblies marked the beauty and dignity of the one held just before Christmas vacation. For a short while students and faculty alike seemed to forget the trivial and transient concerns of every day and to enter into the spirt of the great holy day which was approaching. Selections from the Messiah by Handel, were sung by the boys and girls glee clubs, assisted by four soloists from outside the high school.

The sophomores, as is their custom, made their debut to the high school this year in an assembly. The program offered by the class of 1927 was in every way equal to those which 'have preceded it from year to year. A Jt,1 odern Comedy of Errors, translated from the French by l\1iss Annetta Sprung, a sponsor of the class, proved to be as funny as the one Shakespeare himself wrote. A toe dance, some whistling solos, and several songs by an out-of-school quartet were other numbers on the program. The finale was The Follies of I927, in which six sophomore girls danced and sang. The words to the song were made up to fit the occasion and were sung to a popular tune.

A well known composer and pianist, a splendid violinist, a ~oprano soloist, a victrola and a reproducing piano combined to make one of the most interesting programs of the year. Thurlow Lieurance who has attained much prominence becanse of his interpretation of Indian music, traced for the audience the origin and development of his best known song The Waters of .11,1innetonka. He played the original melody and then the finished composition. Miss Frances Gettys sang the vocal arrangement of the song, accompanied by Fred Cardin, the Indian violinist. In addition to these numbers Mr. Cardin played several violin solos, and the American Indian Rhapsody by Lieurance was played on the reproducing piano. This had been recorded by Harold Lewis, a

Very early in the first semester Mr. G. K. Hawthorne; a member of the Lincoln fire: department, spoke in assembly. He spoke in behalf of fire prevention week and urged the students to see that the fire hazards in their homes were done away with.

In November another special week was observed-national education week. During this week a lecture on Robert Burns, was given by Dr. Walter Aitken. Dr. Aitken had spent part of the past summer in Scotland and had visited the part of the country in which Burns lived. He recited several poems by the famous Scotch bard and told some interesting incidents in connection with the writing of each one. It was one of the most interesting of the "speech" assemblies.

The next week being national book week, the lecture on Books by Professor Philo M. Buck of the University of ebraska was most fitting. Mr. Buck began with the astonishing statement, "We all read too many books." By elaborating this statement he proved to his hearers that a little good reading with some thought is better than much indifferent reading.

Mr. Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the treasury and former governor of Iowa, spoke in assembly on February I I. His definition of education, "Education is what you have left after you have forgotten all you ever learned," challenged at once the attention and thought of his hearers. For this bit of homely philosophy, if for nothing else, his talk is worth remembering. Another vivid and provocative statement was, "We remember only what we think, not what we see or hear."

Abraham Lincoln, a talk by the Rev. W. T. Elmore, came on February 12. It was an unusual lecture in that it did not dwell on the old points in Lincoln's life that we have heard since we were in the kindergarten. Pointing out that Lincoln made his failures stepping stones to his later success, Mr. Elmore urged us to do likewise.

With the new ebraska capitol as his subject, H. A. Baugh, chief engineer of the new building, gave an illustrated lecture in assembly on March 4. 1any of those who have watched the new capitol in construction have not realized the vast expenditure of time, money and effort which such a building requires. ebraska will indeed have a capitol to be proud of and Lincoln high school was fortunate in having heard such a splendid account of what the building is to be.

Once in a great while we go to assembly and receive a huge surprise-an assembly such as we have never had before. These surprises are always most welcome.

At the beginning of the year a committee from the student council arranged for two assemblies. The purpose of these assemblies was to acquaint the student body more thoroughly with the purpose, organization, problems and work of the council. At each of these meetings a member of the present council outlined what had been done this semester and urged the students to cooperate. A past president of the council gave his point of view, and a member of the school board gave the adult side of the question. Just for the sake of enjoyment a group of piano solos were presented at one assembly and a group of songs at the other.

There is one class in school which is not happy unless it is up to mischief. To this spirit of fun we attribute one of the best assemblies of the year. On going into the auditorium one morning, we were confronted by the numerals "26". We were much concerned as to whether this was the day of the month or the name of a new picture show. Imagine our surprise when we found it was merely the class of juniors, who as usual were trying to attract attention! A number of short acts began the assembly. The junior boys quartet sang, the Mayhew twins danced, Paul Bieberstein played the ba$soon and Gertrude Geirman the violin.

To cap the climax, At the Close of a Perfect Day in Any High School Student's Home was presented. Unlike its formidable title, the playlet was very enjoyable. It is a well known fact that our enjoyment of a play is measured by the extent to which we are familiar with such situations as the play portrays. Receiving "U" slips, asking for more money, being reproved for arriving home so late and doing so little about the house, are situations with which we are quite familiar, to say the least. Consequently we enjoyed the play.

This section of the book might well be closed with the words which are so familiar to those of us who attend assemblies. So I shall put one hand behind my back, raise the other for silence, and say "Excused."

Editorial

In order to be trul y representative of a school, an annual must be the work of students. This year's staff has worked to make the 1925 Links a student publication.

All of the art work was done by persons in our own school rather than by commercial artists. The theme carrying out the idea of the Revolutionary period was worked out by the art department.

To Miss Gladys Dana is due the greatest credit for the art work. She has furnished many of the ideas for this phase of the book. Though part of this was done in class, it required much outside work for both l\.1iss Dana and the students. The various designs are signed by the persons who drew them. Ruth Sherrad did the lettering for the cover.

Less aid in editorial work from persons not on the staff has been called for than ever before. Nevertheless, it has been necessary to ask for some assistance. Reginald Miller contributed the write-up of debate; the account of track is the work of William Fleming; Margaret Adams gave valuable assistance in editing.

The usual subscription contest was held this year. Twenty students from the salesmanship classes entered against the twenty students on the Links staff. This year the salesmanship classes won. Sterling Bemis, a contestant from the salesmanship clas es , won the individual prize, which is a copy of the Links, by selling 82 subscriptions.

The advertising for this year's Links was sold by Mr. Frank Kane's salesmanship clas ses. Of this group Wilma Wilkerson and Irvin Forke deserve special thanks.

The Red and Black Handbook

The Red and Black handbook is a book of information concerning the history and organizations of Lincoln high school. It was sponsored by the student council with the aim of giving to the students and patrons a better understanding of the activities and spirit of the school.

The Red and Black is self-supporting and is distributed at cost. The staff was appointed by an advisory board of four student council members in consultation with Miss Louise Miller, the faculty adviser for the book.

Debate

For the first time in the annals of debate at Lincoln high school, forensic contests were staged during the first semester. Last fall Lincoln entered the western division of the Mi sissippi valley debating league. In this league Lincoln was scheduled to have dual contests with Omaha Central, Omaha Technical, South Omaha, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson high schools of Council Bluffs.

At the try-outs seven were chosen to argue the question, "Resolved, that the United States should join the League of Nations." Of these, two were reserves from the previous season and one had debated for Hastings high school.

The season opened with a 3 to o victory over Omaha Central, Douglas Timmerman, Reginald Miller and Paul Marti upholding the affirmative. All was not such clear sailing, however. The negative team of Charles Bruce, Perry Morton and Gordon Hager went down before the severe gas attack of Central's affirmative.

The negative team remained the same during the semester but after the second debate the affirmative was upheld by Frank Ross, Reginald Miller and Paul Marti. Besides winning over South Omaha and Central, the Links gained some valuable practice as was seen when Lincoln entered the state league during the second semester.

Hager, Morton and Miller took a 2 to I decision on the negative in a practice debate "vith Brock. This same team scored a victory in the first league debate on the negative, winning 3 too from Raymond. -90-

On March 19, the tri-M team journeyed to Havelock and brought home a unanimous decision from the shoptown oraters. Archie McMillen, Reginald Miller and Perry Morton upheld the affirmative for Lincoln.

Two weeks were spent in oiling up the machinery (jaws and tongues) for the next affirmative debate with University Place. McMillen, Morton and Miller convinced two of the three judges. Spurred on by these victorie , the tri-M's talked the Ashland team off their feet to the tune of a 3 to o, compelling Ashland to resort to telling jokes in rebuttal.

On April 15, Lincoln met College View to defend her claim to the district championship. College View went home with the short end of a 3 to o decision. By defeating Raymond, Havelock, University Place, Ashland and College View, Lincoln emerged with 1000 per cent and the championship from the district contests, which entitled the arguers to enter the state tournament held at the university during the first week of May to determine the state champion.

The next day Lincoln met Havelock's affirmative team. This debate was scheduled to give the Links practice in changing sides on short notice as is necessary in the tournament. Annie Brackett, Reginald Miller and Perry Morton obtained a 2 to 1 decision. This is the first time that a girl has represented the school on the debate team since 1916.

In 1918 the Forums of Lincoln and Beatrice high schools purchased a cup which ,vas to become the permanent property of the school winning it three times in succession. Lincoln started out by a victory in 1918. Beatrice, however, threatened to get the cup permanently by winning in 1919 and 1920. In this moment of crisis, Lincoln again raised her flag of victory and won the 1921 battle. Beatrice triumphed for the next two years, but in 1924 the Links returned the cup to the trophy case. With this de(ision stored in the victory bag, the team of 1925 journeyed to Beatrice. Rumor had it that Lincoln not only had to win from the Beatrice trio, but to break the sevenyear "jinks" that made Beatrice come back with two successes after each Links victory.

Archie McMillen, Perry Morton and Reginald Miller won the 1925 contest by a 2 to I decision. If Lincoln wins the contest next year, the cup will remain in our trophy case for all time.

Although the Links were hampered from the beginning with a green squad, Mr. Dunn, coach, moulded his arguers into a winning combination. The district championship was won mainly through his unceasing coaching and encouagement.

Art Club

The art club was organized to promote greater interest in art and to encourage its members to make a wider study of the subject. The past year the club members have made a study of commercial design. They have had talks on this phase of art from several men interested in the work. Among these have been Dwight Kirsch and Paul Laune. One meeting of the club was devoted to a study of cartoons. "Oz" Black talked at this meeting.

The aim of the chemistry club is to interest every one in the chool in the study of chemistry. Any high school student who is sufficiently interested may become a member by attending three meetings. The club is organized each year at the request of students in chemistry classes.

Several very interesting lectures on subjects relating to chemistry have been given at the meetings. One unusual feature of this years program was a lecture on liquid air during which many experiments were performed.

Its purpose is to give dramatic training to freshmen and to prepare them for membership in the Mummers. Try-outs similar to those of the Mummers are to be held once each semester. Any student who has less than fifty-four hours is eligible to try out.

The club plans to give many entertaining programs and one-act plays.

ATHLETICS

The Season

With the time-honored motto "green things grow" ever in mind, Coach Browne sent out his call for football players. He received an abundance of green shoots, four letter men and three substitutes. After three weeks of intensive training, the coach was able to cultivate a team which came within two place kicks of winning the state championship for Lincoln high school.

Casting aside the "Jinks", which for the past six years had always been present at the opening game of the season, the Links showed their possibilities in the sixty minutes required to defeat Kearney. The score was 27 to 5. The game was played on the same field on which Lincoln clinched the state championship in 1922.

Havelock came next to take a lesson in football. The most wildly predicted score was made to look small after that track meet. From the start the Lincoln clan made it known that they would take no foolishness from anyone, although George Miller, Havelock's star halfback, caused several tense moments on the Lincoln side-lines. Everything went well until the score reached seventy-two. The last six points came harder. This game conditioned the Red and Black outfit for the big task assigned them the following week.

History was written October I 7 on the Technical high school gridiron before 4000 Central and Lincoln fans. May it ever be repeated. It was a hard, close contest from beginning to end, neither team scoring a touchdown in the first half of the game. However, late in the first quarter, Lincoln chalked up three points via the place kick route.

The Central players came back in the second half more determined than ever, with Lincoln's three points staring them in the face. On the other hand, revenge is sweet. Having been beaten by Central for two consecutive years, the Links were due to win, and they were not to be denied.

Late in the third quarter, Frank Corrick intercepted a forward pass, and raced 40 yards through the Central backfield for the first touchdown. Central redoubled her efforts, and by a series of long runs made by Solomon and Marrow worked the ball down to the one-yard line. Marrow, Central's all-state halfback, carried the ball over on the second attempt for Central's lone counter. In the last chapter of the game, the Links backfield carried the ball over the Central goal for the last time, making the score 16 to 6 in favor of Lincoln.

The Gage county warriors, thinking themselves ready for victory, journeyed to the capital city on October 25 with all the confidence in the world. With Captain Teal out of the Lincoln line-up and the Links just emerging from the hardest game of the season, affairs looked bad for the home team. But after an hour of hard playing, Beatrice was forced to take the short end of a 20 to o score. Captain Worley was the main cog for the Orange and Black outfit. Maynard Weyand and "Dutch" Wittie starred for Lincoln.

To hold the powerful Lincoln scoring machine to a low score and to do so at any price was the ambition of the Islanders. The game opened with the easiest touchdown

the Links made during the entire season. Later in the game the scoring machine was able to cross the Islanders' reef three more times without being threatened once. The final score, among the sand and cockle burrs, stood Grand Island o, Lincoln 2 7.

The Links met the supreme test of the season on a field that would plea e a dirt farmer in early spring. In this contest they were defeated 6 to o at the hands of Technical high. Tech was after revenge, and if revenge i two place kicks, the Links will not have to roll up a very big score to get even in 1925.

The York and Lincoln game was next on the schedule. I ever in the hi tory of the two schools had York been able to conquer her rival. Lincoln, bent on avenging her defeat at the hands of Tech, won the contest handily, 16 to o.

When East meets West, something is bound to happen. The players from Roosevelt high of Des Moines, known as the Rough Riders, rode to the scene of battle in Pullman cars. By the end of the first half, it looked as if the two teams were evenly matched ; the score stood o to o. The Links returned to the field after instructions fwm their coach and fifteen minutes later the score stood 35 to o in their favor. What the Des Moines representatives did during the half will always remain a mystery, but what the Lincoln mentor said and did will be remembered forever by all those who heard him explain the "Why" and then the "How".

The Links scored once more in the fourth quarter. The Easterners were unable ':o !-core until the Lincoln reserves were given a chance at them. A bad start, but a sweet finish.

Thy sportsmanship is superb, oh Saints of Joseph, but thy playing is of poorer grade. Ye mighty Links did sweep thy team of doughty knights before them, like unto tht way in which Sir Lancelot did overcome all with whom he did joust.

The Saint Joseph eleven displayed the cleanest brand of football of any team against which Lincoln has ever had the privilege of playing. They went down to a glorious defeat at the hands of the Junior Cornhuskers on Thanksgiving day at St. Joseph.

SEASO

Letter Men

Phil Teal, halfback and captain. "Flop" had a short but glorious career as captain and right halfback. He was forced out of the line-up because of injuries received during the Omaha Central game. He will be graduated.

Harvey Bauer, captain-elect, center. "Harvey Blow" , playing at center , is the best fight stimulator on the Red and Black team. Many tight places were won by Harve's everlasting urging and leadership. He will make an ideal captain for the 192c; squad.

Frank Corrick, fullback. "Versatile" played his last year for Lincoln. His specialties were line plunging and passing. He usually did his trick by kicking. Frank was acting captain the greater part of the season.

Maynard Weyand , quarterback. "Rabbit", all-state quarterback , was the headiest , fastest and shiftiest man in the state. After the Turkey day game at St. Joseph the sport reporter in that city is quoted as saying, "The Lincoln quarterback is a candidate for the all-American high school team." Maynard ' s absence from the 1925 squad will be hard to take.

' ewton Lesh, guard or tackle. "Cupid" played his last year for Lincoln high. He was one of the biggest stones in the Red and Black stone wall line. He will be graduated.

Ralph Blodgett , guard. Ralph was a constant source of trouble to his opponents. He will be graduated.

Donald Linder, guard or tackle. "Dutch" is big, good looking and unpopular with the opposing team He played as a helpmate of Blodgett He, too, will be graduated.

William Brochu, end . "B. A . " is a tackle and a good man to have on the receiving end of passes. He will suffer the same fate as Blodgett and Linder:

Steven Watkins, end. "Boso", although a sub, kept the regulars in condition by his steady competition.

Ralph Buechner, end. "Beak" played a second Ed Weir. "Enough said." He will be back next year.

George Gohde, guard or tackle. "Jellie" played his second and last season for Lincoln high. His absence will be keenly felt by the grid mentor.

Delmar Warde, end. "Pinkey" was forced to keep Captain Teal company on the side lines because of injuries. He played his last season with Lincoln.

Walter Foss, backfield Walt is an all-round backfield man. He can fill the shoes of the regulars very competently. He will be a valuable asset for the '25 squad

Elven Jones, fullback. "Dumb" has had hard luck trailing him for two years. He has lost much of both seasons through injuries. He will be back next year.

Lawrence McCarthy, end . "Mac" sub end played more regularly as the season developed. He will be back next year.

Adam Kahler, halfback. This was "Hands" first and last year as a football player for Lincoln high He will be graduated.

George Koster, guard or tackle. "Dutch" played his first year with Lincoln. He will be back next year. •

Ray Elliott, Dale Kimmel and William Folger received small letters for their work with the team. They did not play in enough games to receive large L's.

The Second T earn

The reserves, often known as the bumpers for the first team, have had a very successful season, winning four out of six games and tying two.

After the first team is chosen the "left overs" are placed under Floyd Gautsch, assistant coach. For three months they train and work unselfishly in order to keep the first team in fighting trim.

The first three or four weeks are given over to learning the fundamentals of the game. The rest of the season is spent in acquiring experience. ow and then the reserves take a day off, and play a team of their own size and class.

In the first game of the season the junior Links defeated the Teachers College high school with a score of 9 to o.

The second teams of Lincoln high and Central high always clash in a curtain raiser for the big annual game of the season. The scrubs were not as successful as their more experienced brothers, and were held to scoreless tie.

The following week the Solon seconds took on the "Gage county off-suited knights" and, as revenge is sweet, they took a liberal dose of it, and trimmed the Beatrice reserves 14 to 3.

•The young Red and Black warriors journeyed to Ashland and were there held to •their second scoreless, tie game of the season. -115-

ot to be put off so easily, the scrubs in a practice game defeated Teachers College high 13 too in the second game of a two-game series. This conditioned Coach Gautsch's men for the game with Dorchester.

The young Bohemians lost to the seconds because they could not understand the language of the Americans, as one member of the squad put it.

The Voyage

At the outset of the long voyage, with five veteran men, things looked bright and shipshape to the Links commander-in-chief. Ravenna was the first port in which the good ship Lincoln cast anchor. Chief mate King was the bright spot in the brawl. The Links men chalked up their victory on the ship's log-17 to 12.

The ship weighed anchor and collected toll at two other ports. The Links scribe inserted two more entries in the ship's log: Havelock 14, Lincoln 19; Clai Center I I, Lincoln 28.

The first run of bad luck occurred just off the southwestern coast of Lincoln, where the good ship ran afoul the Red and Blue team of Crete. Kersenbrock, lanky pilot for the young Bohemians, was the main difficulty for the Links defense. The Links secretary was forced to write, "Lincoln, I 8; Crete 28." Again the chief mate was high point man with " Fat" Buechner, a close second.

The Gage county tossers also defeated the Lincoln five. They journeyed from the home waters and drenched the Red and Black sailors under such an avalanche of floor work and such a mixed variety of short and long shots that with the stiffest kind of navigation it was all the Links could do to come within one point of knotting the score. The captain was forced to make a second bad entry-Beatrice, 22; Lincoln, 21. "Dutch" Wittie, star forward of the crew, was in suit for the first time. Watch him go.

The next port on the Links schedule was York. Coach Browne's cagesters narrowly escaped defeat, but finally emerged from the fray with the long end of a 17 to 16 score. Kelzer and Felton led the attack for York. Gohde and Kahler, Links guards, held down the helm for Lincoln, while Wittie and Fisher were the main cogs on the forward part of the deck.

The Links next hoisted sail for Hastings, where they drubbed the Westerners, 23 to 19. McCrady, forward, was the high point man for Hastings. Captain King gave orders for a speed of 10 knots, and made IO of the 23 points scored by the Lincoln crew.

Following this the Links went to the lighthouse of our home harbor, University Place, and presented them the shor.t end of a 13 to 4 score.

The Fremont ship steamed into the Lincoln port, but soon steamed out again in disgrace. The ability of first mate King to locate the steel ring in front of the backboard made it hard for the Fremont sailors. Kahler, Lincoln guard, made so much noise guarding that he might be called our fog-horn or danger signal. The Fremont crew was somewhat hampered by the sea sickness of Chambers, regular guard. The score was 15 to 25.

IThe Links crew again hit a slump. After the Tech-Lincoln fray the "lost column" had three entries. The Tech five unwrapped a defense that was impenetrable while on the offense they showed the brand of basketball that in the end won for them the state title. "Dutch" Wittie was the ace for Lincoln. The whole Omaha five were the stars for Tech. Lincoln, 15; Tech, 30.

Becoming wrought up over the turn of affairs, the Red and Black crew aroused themselves and crushed Central like a London fog. The scribe right willingly took pen in hand and made the following entry, "Willard Wittie did cover himself with glory in tonights fra y, not only starring in defense but in the whole blasted game. Lincoln, 13; Central, 12."

Coach Rector and his crew rowed down the river from orth Platte, only to go back hanging over the rail with 6 points while the victorious Links had the hold full with 46.

Heckman, new gob, an addition due to midnight oil, ran wild and made ten points. Kahler and Fisher ran him a close second with eight points each. Macomber annexed two gift shots. Newman and Winslow tallied once apiece from the floor for the Platters.

The next port on the good ship Lincoln's schedule was an Island. King and Kahler were the chalk in the Links scoring tablet. The result was 14 to 12.

The crew were in good spirits and next set sail for the Big Muddy to tackle their old stumbling block, Omaha Technical. The Maroon and White stars were fighting true to form, and after the final gun the Links were found with their heads hanging out of the lower port holes. The Links scribe was once more forced to make entry ,Jn the wrong side of the page.

When sick call was sounded the following morning, eight Red and Black sailors answered the roll. "Doc" Browne administered encouragement and consolation and the Links responded with a will. The Central crew was strengthened with the return -118-

of "Wallie" Marrow, but the floor work of the home concern wa too smooth for solution. The score stood 15 to 16, in favor of Lincoln. The Lincoln clan was ready for the Kan as City boys.

All forecasters predicted that the Lincoln waters would be tempestuous on January 27. The U. S. S. Kansas dropped anchor in Lincoln a per schedule. The junior J ayhawkers held the lead for three quarters. Just before the final blast, however, the Links tied the count. This nece itated an extra session. At this point the Links luck broke. Their inabilitv to connect their free throws and short under-thebasket shots spelled defeat. Kahl~r and Wittie were the bright lights in the offensive; Warde and Fisher shone in the defen e. The final count was Lincoln 28, Kansas City 31.

The renowned Red and Black globe-trotter embarked on the last voyage before the tournament. Her destination was St. Joseph, Missouri. The crew was slated to show its wares on two con ecutive night If losing the first game is considered a gentlemanly act, the Links were gentlemen in every sen e of the word. They dropped the first game to St. Joseph 38 to 21. The crew were again forced to call upon "Doc' 1 Browne for stimulants. The second night showed the Links playing the best conservative defense of the year. The captain audited hi diary for the last time after tramferring the last result, Lincoln 23, St. Joseph 22.

The crew returned home and consigned the old and faithful hip Lincoln to Davy Jones' locker, as the rest of the journey must be made in a more stable conveyance if the coveted title was to rest in the Lincoln dork.

Basketball Tournament

The fifteenth annual ba ketball tournament was held in Lincoln, March 12, 13 and 14, under the management of the University of ebraska.

In previous years all the teams of the state met here. This year a new plan was tried, that of the district tournaments. The state was divided into districts and the teams were put into classes, according to the ize of the towns.

The Lincoln five won the di trict tournament held at Fremont, March 5, 6 and 7, by defeating Crete 21 to 18. The Link attack was led by Warde. The close guarding of Kahler and Fisher kept the lanky Crete forward, Kersenbrock, away from the hoop and, consequently, from victory.

With the district crown safe in pos ession, the Links journeyed home to play in the final rounds of the state tournament.

Lincoln drew the Holdrege team for the first game and defeated them, 18 to 14. Wittie, Gohde and Kahler starred for the Links.

In the second game the Lincoln five turned back Ravenna, to the tune of 22 to 7. Kahler and Wittie played the stellar roles.

This put the Capital City quintet in line for the semi-finals. Beatrice, Lincoln's opponent, was defeated in a fast game which ended 16 to 15. Wittie and Warde played a good game, the former being high point man. Worley starred for Beatrice.

The Links were now in line to play Omaha Tech for the championship. Omaha won in the last few minutes of play by a score of 13 to 12. Wittie made 1 I out of the 12 points annexed by Lincoln. elson and Holm starred for Tech.

Track

Three letter men and about thirty prospects answered the roll call for track this season. The letter men were Captain William Weber, Robert Raugh and William Fleming. Floyd Gautsch was coach for the team.

Hastings was encountered for the first meet. The Hastings tracksters won by a score of 68 to 49. The result was not exactly pleasing, but it showed what might be done with more training. Fleming was high man for Lincoln with I 8 points . Other point winners were Captain Weber, 4; Tindall, 7; Kahler, 8; Perry, 4; True, 4; Carveth,· I

The ebraska Wesleyan invitation meet was the next on the program. The rules of this event are such that only five men and a relay team may be entered from a school. Each man may participate in three events.

The five tracksters who represented Lincoln were Weber, Kahler, Tindall, Perry and Fleming. The relay team was composed of Raugh True, Miller and Fleming.

The next day the cinder men journeyed to Omaha to meet Tech The Omahans proved to be too strong and went off with the long end of a 67 to 46 score. Lincoln's scoring machine was composed of Weber, 6; Tindall, 8; Kahler, 5; True, 3; Tobin, 3; Fleming, I 8.

Swimming

The Lincoln mermen experienced a rather hectic splash session during the past year. Ineligibility and injuries were the big factors which prevented a more succe sful season. Coach Gautsch and Foster Matchett were largely responsible for turning out a champion ship relay team composed of Captain Gregg Waldo, Rollin Hickman, Orville Crist and "Bud" McBride.

Lincoln's representatives placed second in the state meet held in Omaha, January 29. Two records were broken by the Lincoln splashers. The 200-yard relay record was lowered 2 1/5 seconds. The plunge for di tance record was established at 63 feet.

In a dual meet with Omaha Tech, Lincoln again placed second. The Red and Black mermen were handicapped by the ineligibility of several members.

Sickness and injuries were the next ruts in the road to revenge on the Tech, mermen. In the second meet of the year, which was held at Lincoln , the Links were forced to forfeit three events for lack of entries.

The dual meet with Omaha Central had to be cancelled because of the combination jinks of injuries, sickness and ineligibility.

I GIRLS SPORTS

Girls Athletic Association

Since the organization of the girls athletic association in I 9 I 9, girls sports have become one of the significant features of Lincoln high school. The association has helped to develop a school spirit, that indefinable quality which makes the student body loyal and fair in athletics, and in all the countless phases of school life. In addition to furthering girls athletics, the association has proved itself to be the needed link between the girl and the school.

The organization began with a charter membership of only twenty, but it has steadily increased until there are now about ninet y members. To be eligible for membership, a girl must have earned one hundred points in athletics. These points may be obtained by going out for any of the after-school sports.

This organization, through the efforts of all its members, has contributed much toward the payment of the oval. Last year the club gave $23 I, and this year $150, making a total of $381.

Basketball

Basketball, it seems, is in a class by itself. This year so many sign ed up that the girls were grouped according to classes. The freshmen and ophomores practiced Tuesday under the supervision of Miss Gates , and the juniors and eniors on Wednes- day under Miss Johnson.

The girls were first taught to pass the ball in a variety of way s , then to throw baskets. Although many were new to the rules, the coaches found some er y commend- a_ble material. After a few practices, those who were new began to impro v e and soon . they could really play basketball. Practice teams were formed and some very good team work was shown.

The semi-finals of the tournament were played Tuesday , March 24. The sopho- mores played opposite the seniors and the freshmen took ides against the juniors.

In response to the shrill bla t of the referee's whi tle, the freshman and junior teams c a me on the floor. A moment later the ball wa tossed upward between the centers. The junior running center caught the ball , pivoted and threw the sphere toward the forward. After unsucce sful tries for the ba ket, a fre hman guard caught the ball and threw it viciousl y toward the center. The sphere ran from one to another like a living thing , subservient to its ma ter's voice. At the close of the first half the juniors ,nre in the lead. The second half found the freshman forwards regaining their former snap and aggressiveness, but the excellent guarding of the junior guards kept the freshmen from scoring too heavily. Toward the close of the game, Dorothy Gould , a forward and junior star, made one of the most nearly perfect baskets of the entire game. She had nerve and poise. Clasping the ball, she dribbled it nearly under the guard's straining arm, and came to correct placement to meet the ball as it bounced. It was like a flash of light , neatly, prettily and fleetly done. The guards closed, but she was through them as by a miracle and paused about eight feet from the basket. Then, as the players stood in arrested motion, with a sure heave like that of a skilled javelin thrower, she threw the ball into the basket. The game ended with the juniors far in the lead with 24 points , while the freshmen sympathizers were forcd to accept onl y 7.

The seniors and sophomores were only too anxious to begin. The game was more closely contested than the one preceding, so only after several minutes of play were the seniors able to make the first basket. This was followd a few minutes later by another. At the end of the first half the seniors were onl y a few points in the lead , but by the third quarter they were far in advance. The senior guards were exceedingly good; in the first half a few tries of the sophomore forwards to make baskets were so hurried that they never even reached the back-board. And so the game ended, with the seniors leading by 16 points and the sophomores trailing with 7.

Wednesday, March 25, the finals were played. Many were confident that the juniors would win, and yet many expected the seniors to be the champions of the eve- ning. Laura-Mae Hill, senior, was the high scorer of the finals with 12 of the 13 senior points in her favor.

In the opening of the game the ball was kept in the senior territory for a greater pan of the quarter. Time and again the ball was swept without faltering to the senior forwards, which gave the opposing goal custodians many anxious moments. At one time only did a junior guard fail to keep pace with the opposing forward, and it was then that the forward waited near the basket for the pass. As it came she side- stepped, grabbed the ball and hurled it into the air. It struck the basket and filtered through. The din was deafening as the referee retrieved the ball and brought it back to the center circle. In the second half, the seniors seemed even more confident of victory. In the first few minutes of play a senior forward caught a high pass and almost instantly threw it to her team-mate. The forward threw the sphere straight for the basket, it struck the rim, paused tantalizingly for a split second, and rolled inward.

The game ended with the seniors as champions, having scored 13 points to the juniors' 6.

L GIRLS

Hockey

About seventy-five girls reported for hockey practice this year, but because of the unfavorable weather conditions, a tournament was not played.

Yes, almost all of the girls who like soccer, also like hockey; they like the action that accompanies it, too. Too bad for the goal-keeper-the only action that she gets is when the ball is inside her territory. Then a she crouches low in front of the posts with her thick-based stick before her, she awaits the moment of the opponents' final attack , Ah! the players twist to the right and to the left in a desperate effort to make that goal, and when they do, what an applause!

l\1ost of the freshmen were new to the game, of course; but they proved to be very good players. After a few practices they would streak down the field with the ball and make a goal with little opposition from some possible sophomore or junior team. Every now and then a small freshman would whirl down the field, scoop up the ball and bat it through the goal posts. What a veritable cyclone of energy!

The seniors were expected to know the game, yet there were thing which many of them did not understand. "Hit the ball and hit it squarely" was the watchword of the back field, and most of them lived up to it. The forward lines were always dashing hither and thither in hot pursuit. Some senior wonder would catch the ball in the crook of her stick, bring it around quickly and make the final stroke. They would even tolerate, occasionally, without more than a passing expression of scorn, some treacherous act inflicted upon them by an opposing team, if they were satisfied that it wa not deliberately malicious.

And so the hockey season ended. If only the tournament could have been playedwe wonder who would have been the champions?

Four very efficient university girls coached the various teams. They were Miss Meda Fisher, Miss Gladys Fauster, Miss Dorothy Taylor and Miss Louise Fisher.

Soccer

Girls sports began with the enrollment of nearly one hundred girls for soccer practice. There were so many who reported each time that the two field outh of the high school could not accommodate them. To give each girl her required number of practices, a new field was laid off north of the tennis grounds.

Many of the girls were anxious to get the forward and halfback positions, so, fortunately for those who wished to play goal, there was little competition for this inconspicuous position.

The semi-final tournament was played October 2 I. The seniors defeated the freshmen by a score of 2 to o, Helene Clement and Genevieve Clayton making the seniors goals. The sophomores won from the juniors by the same score, 2 to o. Their goals were made by Ruth Hatfield and Edna Reed.

On the day of the finals both teams anxiously awaited the end of their fourth period classes. Then the time came. The subs of the winning teams toiled out to the field. Each girl was torn between the desire of participating in the game and the hope that her team mate would hold her respective position and relieve her from the frightful responsibility of facing that terrifying opposing team. The game started with a sophomore kick-off, but the ball was not followed up and some senior forcibly kicked the ball toward the senior goal. Back and forth the two teams milled, and up and down the field. Once the whizzing sphere ricocheted far inside the senior territory and just as a goal was about to be made, a daring sophomore rushed forward and kicked it high into the air. Five or six determined girls from both sides ran forward, all twisting, struggling and kicking viciously at the ball. It was crude soccer, but it was played with all the energy that a sophomore-senior game can develop. Each team made one goal. At the end of the fourth quarter the tie stood I to I. An extra quarter was given to play off the tie, but it was to no advantage.

On Monday, October 27, when the extra game was played, the seniors took the soccer championship with a score of 3 to I. Elizabeth Goh de, Marjorie Eastabrooks and Genevieve Clayton made the senior goals, and Ruth Hatfield the only score for the sophomores.

Miss Wheeler of the University of ,._ ebraska refereed the preliminary games, and Miss Della Marie Clark of the university, the finals.

Dancing

This year about two hundred girls reported for dancing each semester. Miss Johnson found it impossible to accommodate so many in two classes, so three classes a week were formed.

The girls have found dancing a very attractive form of play. It takes the drudgery out of the daily school routine and expresses instead its ideal, its significant form of beauty. Grace of motion is to the eye all that melody of sound is to the ear.

At first, of course, the instructor had a difficult task in teaching the different steps. However, it is not extremely difficult to attain grace and freedom of motion. Stiffness and awkwardness are the result of self-consciousness. But such tendencies do not last. As a result of the unceasing efforts of 1\1:iss Johnson, the girls became eager and ready to accept any new step that was given them.

During the first semester onlookers were not allowed in the gymnasium at the dancing hour, but sometimes one would slip in. And it was well worth the risk to get a glimpse of those energetic dancers.

The practice for the first semester consisted first of bar work and then of center work. The bar method is the first stage in getting the girls prepared for dancing steps. 'I'he center work is more advanced and was taught toward the close of the semester. The Chinese dances were something new. They were very effective and interesting.

Miss Lenore John on, a graduate of the normal of LaCro se, Wisconsin , has assisted in the girls phy ical education department this year. Mis Johnson studied physical education at the Univer ity of Wisconsin, and dancing under Andreas Pawley and Serge Ourkain ky. Miss John on has suhstituted many times in the physical education department at LaCrosse and has had a dancing tudio of her own in Madison, Wisconsin.

JMis Elva B. Gates has been the girl· physical education instructor for three years. During this time more girl have become interested in after-school sports than ever before. Every afternoon groups of girls \ have dotted the athletic fields, each group intent on its own sport. A special piece of work done this year was the training of the girls who presented the tumbling act for joy night.

9 2 5 Track

Of the one hundred girls who reported for track last year, abou t twenty received G. A. A. points. Although they are few, the girls have shown that their high school has some very good material. During the practices it could plainl y be seen that the 40-yard dash is a favorite of many of the girls. Also it is the mo t spectaculartwo determined girls make a last lunge, the tape break , and streams from the outstretched hands of the winner!

In the track meet, Ruth Hatfield and Gladys Callender tied for individual honors, each winning two firsts.

The meet was won by the juniors. The seniors placed second and the freshmen third.

Swimming

At the opemng of the pool in September nearly seventy-five girls reported for swimming. Pool regulations were new to many, and Miss Gates and her assistants were kept busy trying to calm down those who insisted on splashing water or screaming and yelling to one another.

During the first semester the pool was open on Mondays and Wednesdays. For the first eight weeks only beginners received attention. The second eight weeks, ho\Vever, both advanced and beginning swimming was taught. The beginners were very anxious to learn, and the few who were too frightened to learn to swim alone were helped by the assistants. ow and then some brave girl, thinking perhaps that she was able to swim without assistance, would go into deeper water. Some noble assistant, hearing the screams and seeing the distressed girl standing in water up to her chin, would bravely walk out and bring her to the pool's edge. This first semester of swimming was well spent, however, for at the end many were ready to begin in the advanced cla s.

The program for the second semester was changed somewhat because of the overcrowded conditions. Although over two hundred signed up for swimming, they were well accommodated. The cla ses were divided into three groups, the beginners, the intermediate and the advanced. These classes all met on Mondays and Wednesdays. This rule held throughout the second semester.

The interclass swimming meet that took place last year was held May 28. The senior team won the meet by acquiring 47 points. The freshmen placed second withi 3 5 points, and the sophomores third.

Individual honors were won by Hazel Olds, a senior, who won 19 points. Gerda Cypreansen, a freshman, placed second with 16 points. -131-

G. A. A. Awards

Every member of the G. A. A. ha at least one goal-to get an L. It take the whole of four years for some girls , while others may get their in two. But the honor of L is well worth the time pent.

One thousand points are required for an L. Kather ine De a n a nd Thelma Dimmitt were the only girls who received L's in 1924.

Those who received the honor letter L and one stripe \vere Glad ys Callender, Laura Mae Hill, Evalyn Armstrong, Genevieve Clayton, Helene Clement and Elizabeth Gohde.

Thirteen girls of the G. A. A. ,vere awarded L' in 1923, and are entitled to wear two service stripes for acquiring three hundred extra points. They were Genevieve Land, Olive Eastman, Erma Manning, Helen Morehead , Violet Wilder, Margaret Ames , Winona Ayres , Marguerite Clark, Marie Curran , Lillian Bookstrom , Thelma Wiken , Hazel Olds and Marian Brinton. •

Hazel Olds received the G. A. A. loving cup given by Miss Gertrude Jone She acquired 2,950 points, the highest number of an y girl in the enior class.

Baseball

Ba eball is one of the favorite sports of the girls in Lincoln high school. Last year each class was represented by good players, and the coaches were able to pick unusually good teams.

The preliminary games were played May I 3. The seniors defeated the sophomores by a score of 2 I to 20, and the freshmen received the shorter count of a I 9 to 9 score against the juniors.

The finals were played May 20. When the umpire called to the pitcher to play ball , there was a momentary silence. A sharp crack of wood against the ball snapped through the air. The batter shot from first to second, then to third, then home. The center fielder started back, but she wasn't within ten feet of the ball when it landed. A wild cheering broke from the greater portion of the crowd. A junior had made a home run! At the end of the first inning the juniors were ahead 7 to o. In the fifth inning the seniors began to take the lead. The junior pitcher shot the ball from her hand as the batter leaned gracefully forward. The senior swung maliciously and fanned the air. Again the pitcher traightened; her right arm shot out, curving backward and downward; her body shot forward. The batter whirled her bat viciously at the ball, and hit it squarely. The ball sailed upward-higher and higher. The slugger had caught it underneath and tipped it skyward with her bat. The juniors fumbled, and the seniors began scoring heavily. In the last inning the determined juniors tied the score and brought two runners home, thus winning the game.

For the first time the seniors were defeated in the baseball finals. As freshmen, sophomores and juniors they showed their superiority, but in their last year they lost the championship.

Miss Lillian Story of the ph ysical education department of the University of r ebraska umpired the finals. - 13 3-

ARTS

DRAMA

If I Were King

"

'Tis what would happen by this hand, If Villon were king of France."

A tattered, bedraggled figure of a beggar, bearing himself with lordly pride, surrounded by a motley throng of thieves, soldiers and adventures in the Fir Cone Tavern of Paris uttered these words. Francois Villon, blabber, thief, soldier, poet and vagabond of the time of Louis XI of France, unknowingly spoke words of fire and treason in the very presence of the king.

The Mummers this year presented an unusually difficult play. The large cast called for the portrayal of many different characters and the staging required varied and elaborate scenery.

All the scenery was designed and built by high school students. The first act presented the Fir Cone Tavern. The walls were smoked and warped. The large fireplace, the dark oak settle, the rude tables and stools all gave the fifteen century atmosphere. The second and third acts presented a garden at the palace of the king The la t act was a street scene in Paris. In one corner of the stage stood the entrance to an ancient church, and at the back, a newly built gibbet.

The opening scene at the tavern was staged with convincing dash and vigor. The figure of Guy Tabarie, played by Arthur Ziemer , e pecially stood out. William ewens played the leading role. Though his portrayal was uneven, he had moments in which his acting was brilliant, almost inspired.

Lady Catherine was beautifully impersonated by Virginia George . The star of the evening was Perry Morton, who portraye::l the grasping, insidious and d:abolical Louis.

Disraeli

International diplomacy, intrigue and political espionage! The brilliant maneuverings of Disraeli are pitted against the insidious cunning of the Czar's emissaries. The great dominating personality of England's famous prime minister is portrayed by a Lincoln high school student.

The senior class presented this year a play totally different in plot and dramatic interest from any other ever given by the school. Disraeli was written especially for George Arliss and is decidedly a "one man" play. The title role was taken by William Prawl, who acted during the entire performance with the ease and grace of a professional. His portrayal of the scene in which the prime minister forces the governor of the Bank of England to sign the note legalizing the purchase of the Suez canal was unusually strong and convincing. The scene in which Disraeli pretends to be ill was another high light in the play.

The part of Lady Beaconsfield, played by Margaret 1aster on, was al o a fine bit of work. The calm, deep character of Lady Beaconsfield and her great love ani respect for her husband were felt at all times.

The part of the parkling ~ady Clarissa was taken by Irene Martin; her lover, a stiff and formal aristocrat, was presented by Ridgeway Zelley. Two humorous chara::ters, the Duke and Duchess of Glastonbury, were played by Howard Bell and Elizabeth Burnham.

Old fashioned costumes, quaint sett{ngs and numerous extras enlivened the play and lent Victorian atmo phere. -137-

A Kiss for Cinderella

James M. Barrie's most whimsical and quaint little play was presented this year by the class of '26. The play, which takes place at the time when England was just entering the World war, centers around the wistful little figure of Cinderella, a London waif and slavey who has a huge imagination, a very great patriotism and a heart too big for her small body.

Cinderella's best friend is Mr. Bodie , an artist, in whose studio she is caught and quizzed by a very good-looking young policeman. This policeman, who is determined to do his duty , bears a marked resemblence to the prince in Cinderella's dream ball. The part was taken by Elton Fee.

The four little orphans adopted b y Cinderella were a humorous and life-like element in the play. Katherine Grummann, Mildred Hansen, Helen Seymour and Floyde Mendell played the parts with all the mischief and guile of childhood.

Evelyn Wood as Cinderella was charming throughout the pla y ; she took her part with great sincerity and ease.

Joy Night

The inauguration of joy night was made in the Lin::oln high chool auditorium April I 7. The event was repeated to a capacity house April 18. The varid act displayed the talent and originality of the students and faculty and insured the slogan, "Fun for All and All for Fun".

The prologue was written in ver e by the writers club. It was offered by Happy Hooligan and his three little nephews.

The first act was the Mummer's play, ll1iss Civilization. Great mystery, dark rooms, burglars and flitting lights made the audience tense throughout the performance. The play discloses the clever artifices of a dainty little miss who keeps three burglars quietly at bay until the police come.

The next act was produced under the direction of Miss John on and Miss Gates. This act ccnsisted of a group of dances, a march of wooden soldiers by the boys, and tumbling by a group of pink-rompered girls. The Hungarian Rhapsody, danced by Anita Johnston, was one of the most attractive numbers. The tumblers were also novel and clever.

The third act was a parody of Shakespeare's Romeo and I uliet. The balcony scene was enacted. The play was written, produced and directed by Miss Miller's English XII class.

The faculty show, As You 11,1iglzt Like It, was received with the utmost hilarity. The parts portrayed by Mr. Koenig, Miss Pound, Mr. Shepherd, and l\1r. Clements were especially humorous to the students.

The last act was the minstrel show, produced under the direction of Mr. Ferguson. The stage represented a cafe where a group of people came for a party. Mr. Ferguson, the host, entertained with the assistance of the Merry Minstrels. The first number was a trip to the states. As the chorus sang, a girl dressed to represent a state danced. There were also several other features-a dance number by Betty Faye Ward and Joe Spangler; a song by Hilda Ullstrom, Lucile Hensley and Dorothy Marshall; and solos by the end men. Don Underwood in the execution of intricate dance fantasies and the rendering of different musical numbers was encored again and again. Mr. Ferguson sang, Knock at the Door. During this number a special ballet danced.

One of the features of the evening was Joy Breezes, a newspaper published by the student council. This was filled ·with much news and nonsense.

Mid-Year Concert

All the musical organizations of the school were represented in the annual midyear concert which the Orpheons sponsored. A patriotic cantata, arranged by Jordon from Whittier's old familiar poem, Barbara Frietchie, was pre ented by a selected chorus and the glee clubs. They were accompanied by the theatre orchestra.

The advanced orchestra played a group of more difficult pieces, and Gertrude Giermann, a member of the orchestra, gave two violin solos. The girls glee club and the boys glee club each sang a few songs.

The most effective number of the evening was Listen to the Lambs by Dett, sung unaccompanied by the advanced chorus. The sweet strains ro e and fell in rolling cadences as the melody of a deep-toned organ swells and ebbs under the touch of the organist. It was inspiring, and could not be easily forgotten.

Opera

In the province of Katwsky-Ann-Zee in Holland, are the old Red Mill and the Red Mill Inn. The action of Victor Herbert's opera, The Red Mill, centers around these two ancient and fascinating places. It was presented by the glee clubs May 29 and 30, as the eighth anual opera.

Kid Conner and Con Kidder, two penniless Americans traveling in Europe, who stop for a shor t time at the inn, become so involved in the affairs of that quaint community that "thereby hangs a tale ", as Shakespeare would have said.

With a real windmill on the stage, brilliant costumes and such catchy tunes as In Old New York and lust Because You're You, the opera was a huge success.

The leading parts were taken by William Newens as Kid Conner and Hilda Ullstrom as Tina.

Mid-West Music Contest

The Lincoln high school orchestra took second place in the mid-west music contest held at Kansas City, Missouri, April 3, 1925. The contest was held in connection with the national conference of music supervisors.

Seventy-six Lincoln students went on the trip which was possible largely through the generosity of the Rotary club. The club contributed four hundred dollars. Two hundred dollars was made by the mid-year concert and the rest contributed by members of musical organizations. • •

• Though the band did not win a place, our orchestra has the distinction of being the • second best orchestra in five states.

Orchestra

The orchestra is composed of the best players of orchestral instruments in the school, many of whom have had their training in the preparatory orchestra.

The mid-year concert was the culmination of the work of the first semester. In the fall they played at the teachers convention and later at two vesper concerts. It v.ras this orchestra that took second place at the mid-west music contest at Kansas City.

The best of the orchestra play at the high school plays under the name of the "theatre orchestra". They also play the accompaniments for the mid-year concert and the opera. Mr. Charles B. Righter, Jr., directs the orchestra.

PUZZLES IN THE DAYS OF YORE'

A gallant young knight rode out one day Hi lands to oversee, And as he rode on the auld highway A maiden caught his ee.

"Goodday, goodday, my fair young lass/' He then spake unto her, "And 'ere upon my way I pass-" "What did you wish, dear sir?"

"I have," quoth he,-"a question to ask; It has puzzled me night and day. To attempt it has proved a wearisome task And you will help me, I pray."

Quoth the fair lass to the fair young knight, "Ah! yes, I can help you too, And assist you from your terrible plight." The knight said, "I pray you, do.

"I have right here a troublesome word And I cannot find the solution. 'Tis a right fair four-letter word, Meaning an act of affection."

"Methink I have the word you miss," Quoth the maiden warily. And with that she gave the knight a kiss, Then rode the knight home merrily.

One Hour With Small Children

As I opened our door, a mall whirlwind precipitated it elf on me and Ruth cried, "Ain't you glad to see us? Mama's gone to the dentist and we' e come to tay , ith you and Auntie Bertha." "Till five o'clock," interrupted her twin brother, Ralph, as stolid and phlegmatic as she was impetuous and mischievous.

Casting a look of withering scorn on him for his interruption, she went on exactly where she had left off-"till five o'clock, and Auntie Ber's all tired out and he's laying down on your bed and she says for you to keep us quiet."

"Good night," I groaned to myself, and then asked, "How long have you been here?"

"Been here all day," she answered pertly, taking my cherished dorine in a sticky, investigating hand.

"Here," I cried, "take your dirty hands off that." This startled her so that she dropped it and the mirror broke into a million pieces. "Ruth," I commanded, "go out into the kitchen and wash your hands."

"Well, then," she answered irrelevantly, "you make Ralph leave that alone." She pointed at Ralph as he stood, surrounded by the ruins of the flowers on my new spring hat. That was too much for me. Gently but firmly taking the hat from him, I slammed it on top of the piano, took each child by the hand and dragged them to the kitchen. There they were washed and summarily dismissed to the back yard.

About fifteen minutes passed, and growing suspicious of their quiet, I looked out to see what they were doing, and saw Ruth balanced on some very flimsy wire which covered the top of a neighbor's chicken yard. Ralph was perched in the crotch of an adjoining tree ready to join her.

I screamed sharply at them but the only result was to frighten Ralph so that he fell. I groaned again, but after rushing out and picking him up, I commanded Ruth to "come down from there immediately." Then tucking the wailing Ralph under my arm, I returned to the house. There I dried him as ~well as I could and placed him before the stove. Then I bargained with the children that if they would sit perfectly still for just a little while, I would give them each a cookie.

"Two cookies," immediately demanded Ruth.

"Well, all right," I replied, feeling that two cookies could not kill them. I would not care if they did. ot much, anyhow. Then I attempted to resume my work of baking a cake. But these little Indians were everywhere.

They covered their faces, hands and clothes with dough and flour. In a helpful attempt to "grease the pans", for cousin Helen, they upset the milk bottle, and the milk flooded the flour. The last, lingering vestiges of my patience were swept away by that, and it is quite probable, that the children would have gotten what they deserved if their mother hadn't come in just then.

"Hello, Helen! Mercy, what a mess the kitchen and my poor children are in. You never could keep anything clean up here." Then observing my expression, she added hastily, "But thanks for taking care of my kiddies. Good-bye."

After she was gone, I sat down dejectedly, and took an inventory.

I tern: one broken dorine.

Item: one ruined hat.

Item: one dirty kitchen.

Item: one lost temper.

Whereupon I resolved that if they ever came up again, I would strangle them.

They wear what they like, and if Fifth Avenue doesn't like it, so much the worse for Fifth Avenue. Of course you know this. We want you to realize that Society Brand knows it too.

The Mysterious Foreigner

Dusk was slowly falling, veiling the streets in an intense purple gloom. The clang of a street car grows fainter and fainter in the distance, and the merry shouts of children bidding each other farewell, came from a house down the street. A taxi draws up and from it emerges a man, who carries carefully in one hand a neat brown valise.

He pays the taxi driver, leaving him a liberal tip, and a moment later, he disappears into the dusk, only to emerge again into the street which he crosses, to where Nebraska's new State Capitol will soon be complete.

A he seats himself upon bench, he carefully deposits his valise on the ground between his feet. He draws out a long foreign-looking cigarette, lights it , then im~ patiently throws it away.

He is a dark complexioned man , with snapping, smouldering blue-black eyes. His nose is very aquiline, his mouth is firm, and his chin prominent. His clothes are fashionably cut, and his soft felt hat is crushed down over his head.

His long slender fingers-all mysterious foreign men have long slender fingers-

continually grope downward, to pat the side of the valise, as if to assure himself it is still there.

Now the last workman has left the Capitol Grounds. The foreigner arise as if for a stroll, but he stoops for the little valise.

He walks into the old Capitol as if familiar with it. ow he strides down the corridor to a door. He opens it, and steps in. Another man seated at a desk, looks up with a start of recognition.

The foreigner opens his valise, and takes out a small box wrapped in excelsior. He rips the thin boards from the box, and draws out a flat oblong object wrapped in cotton and excelsior.

He unties it, slowly and carefully In another turn it will be out of the wrappings.

There! It is unwrapped. The foreigner speaks. "Here is the last detail for the bas-relief over the J orth Portico," he says.

THE TEW MATH BOOK

Through the untiring efforts of Miss Stella B. Kirker and other members of the mathematics department the student body of Lincoln high in the coming years will enjoy a new type of mathematics textbook.

Loud have been the complaints of past students that the other textbooks of the department were unfit for use as mathematical references. There is no discussion of real, practical problems of the day within their pages.

The complaints, at first, were treated with little regard by the faculty, but so forcefully have they been voiced in the last few weeks that at last the department has taken action in the matter. As a result we have a new book on the way to the binders.

The contents of this new masterpiece were to have remained a secret until next semester, but by the combined efforts of the football team and the track squad we are able to offer you a brief outline of the new book.

Some problems found in the new text are as follows:

Calorie Problem

If the cafeteria starts serving lunch at I I :36 and bread gives 100 calories per slice, how long will it take a person eating one slice of bread a minute to obtain enough calories ( unit of heat) to melt a chunk of ice?

Underweight Boy Problem

A boy named John Jones, aged 4 years and 8 months, lives in Podunk, Mo. John is a very active child and is constantly exercising. Statistics prove that John loses ¼ oz. of weight every three hours. John weighs 27 pounds at the present time. How much will he weigh in six years?

Hair Combing Problem

It takes the average boy ten minutes to comb his hair. It is estimated that during that time approximately 12 hairs are pulled loose by the comb. How long would it take Paul Marti to comb out all his hair?

The above examples show that this new text will be indeed an outstanding contribution to the field of education of our world.

Odd as it ma y seem , Bud McBride was a groom. Rumor has it that there was some trouble when he went to take the girl. We suppose that is the why of his passionate declaration to his future parent-in-law:

"I sure love your daughter, and have worked for her hard, Love swells like the rooting at basketball games. So I come with this lost love-in silk To tread but one measure ,-drink one cup of milk."

E vidently the lost love came back to him after the heart y stimulant , for he got a strangle hold on the girl ( she wasn't a girl at all) andAway, away, on his scooter they go, Look out there , Bud , for y ou ought to know, That her father a rustic bicycle has, And if there ' s a race, farewell bonny lass.

"Oh come to me, and come to me, Present yourself at once."

I scan'd the note with heart aquake I read it more than once.

I gied me to that room so drear, I feign'd a smile so fake. I got me to the pedagogue, And up these words she spake. She looked at me with eyes so biack, Her gaze did set me thinking, She heaved the much accustomed sigh, "Young man, I think you're flunking."

My breath grew short, my red cheeks pal'd I floated toward the brink. "Oh what, oh what, my good teacher, Oh what so makes you think?"

"Your final exam did prove it a fact. The grade was two score five. Questions six, five, four, three, two and one You missed as I'm alive."

"To make it up!" "I'm much averse." The words did hard drive hame. My pulse it rose and fell so hard, When this I did exclaim.

"Please. I'll answer all the questions From beginning unto end If only paper, ink, and pen, And your consent you'll lend."

Permission I got, that day, from her, To take the test again. She set before me some new questions, Each one of them counting ten.

Oh thoughts! The answer to question one, The fifth is just as dry, "'Vhat countrie fought in the Civil War? ' ' And it says, "If so, why?"

Slowly , slowly, rose I up,

"Your grave is dug," says she to me, Swiftly sat she down. "You've dug it yourself, 'tis true, I handed to her the woeful script, If you had taken my first advice, She read it with a frown. I could have dug it for you."

An Impossible Happening

It was the first day of reg istration for the next semester. Miss Miller read the following announcement: Pupils may choose all of their teachers. Beginning next semester pup ils having a period in the study or library are free to go anywhere, in the building or out of it, and do as they please. They will not be counted absent. ext week there will be an a sembly every day. As many of the pupils work on Saturdays, all the athletic games will be played on Friday. Pupils will be excused from class to attend both lunch periods if they think it best

On the same bulletin was the following note from Mr. Shepherd to the teachers: The above announcements were put into the bulletin by the request of Miss Julia M Wert , to find out ju t what per cent of the students would take an advantage of the situation; to see who are the choicest teachers in the pupils' minds, and also to see if athletics and assemblies are needed.

One of the above copies was purposely lost, and was found by a student who could spread any article of interest faster than the State l ournal. The student body decided to hold a mass meeting. At this meeting the following solutions for the gigantie problem of faculty irresponsibility were decided upon: The students agreed to choose the teachers they didn't want; not to go to an y of the assemblies; to eat no lunch at

all; to have no study periods, but a full schedule of major subjects; and last of all to petition that athletic games be played on Saturday.

Mr. Shepherd heard what had been decided, and let everything go as the students had planned. On Friday Mr. Shepherd sent the following bulletin to the teachers: Because of the attitude the students have taken, we shall let them do as they have planned. They in some way have been misled as to our understanding of the plan we formed at the faculty meeting to give the students real freedom. The announcement to the pupils will better explain.

To the Pupils:

On account of the careful selections of good teachers, all may keep the ones they chose. Since the students do not wish assemblies, we shall have none. Because the students do not wish lunch periods, we will close the cafeteria and add a fifth period each day, holding one period on every Saturday to finish correctly. There has been a request for no study periods, so the whole eighty minutes shall be used to recite. The petition to have no Saturday games was almost unanimously signed, and therefore all of the athletic games to have been played at home have been cancelled.

Moral:

Signed, H. P. Shepherd.

Do not trust the judgment of other people. You are sure to lose.

SLEEPI G CLASS

Hurrah! another new easy credit course has made its way into Lincoln high under the guise of a "sleeping" class.

Now we are not spoofing when we say that such a class actually exists and that school credit is given for this "snooze" class. Extra credit is even given to those students who acquire a disturbing snore.

Think of it, a chance to dream the minutes away and yet get rewarded for it. Why if it were not for one objection the course would be the most popular in school.

But, like all good things, this course has one decided drawback, and that is that no provision has been made for boys to take the "sleeping" privilege.

It is an established fact that 95.9% of the sleeping in classes is done by the stronger sex and yet the authorities persistently give sleeping privileges to girls.

Harry Heckman said that when his kid brother got to be principal, if he was still in high school he would surely have the necessary changes made.

Margaret Adams, an ex-officio member of the faculty, has been placed in charge of the new class and, as the pupils have nothing to learn, the y get along all right with the teacher.

Hall Traffic

It is a genuine pleasure to see a senior making his way down a hall through congested traffic. The well-seasoned senior is able to cruise through the most congested hall without running, and yet out-distance a freshman who does run.

It is hard to drive a car down "O" street about four o'clock in the afternoon. It is equally hard to go down the hall in front of the cafeteria or study hall during lunch period or between periods. The school should install a code of traffic signals and perhaps some traffic officers. For instance, you are trying to pass a girl from behind, and just as you go along side she turns sharply to the left ( or right). A collision results and an apology is necessary. She should have held ·out her hand or had a device for doing so, say a dangling tassel on her dress which she would pull toward one side or the other by means of strings. Drivers should always turn to the right and never "cut" corners or turn around in the middle of a hall. In passing the study hall at the

close of the one-thirty-six session, one should shift into "intermediate" or "low" i'f necessary. In uncongested halls drivers should be limited to twenty-one miles an hour ( unless one be late to a class). All drivers should be equipped with four wheel brakes ( rubber heels and soles), and should be able to stop within three feet when going ten miles an hour. At intervals, drivers should be required to have their brakes and lights tested.

If these rules were enforced, there would be no congestion, nor collisions; no apologies would be necessary, and the whole would work to perfection.

THE OFFICE FEAR

The boy stood on the carpet, His knees were knocking fast For 'twas in the principal's office, And he felt his doom at last.

He tried to look courageous As he trembled, white and pale, But his eyes were full of fear And his voice began to fail.

The principal then began to speak In a deep and heavy tone, "My boy," he said, "your wanted-On the telephone."

Here at last is a clear and simple method of figuring your four years average in L. H. S.

Take the first grade you got, add your sister's grade in English. Divide by your best teacher's age ( try and find it out). Add your last home room number; subtract the amount you paid for lunch on March 23. Multiply by your telephone number; add up the total of room numbers on each floor and divide this result into your last answer , and if you have succeeded in getting a fair average you're a better man than I am.

JUST FOR A CHANGE

I've been in Lincoln high school now For almost four whole years, And gone to lots of football games And shouted lots of cheers; And in a way I'm satisfied, And in my praise don't falter; But, somehow , in the years to come, There's things I'd like to alter.

First, I'd change the building 'round Until it faced the east, Then to see tl1e trains go by I'd strain 11ot in the least ; Next I'd take sume :,tairways out And put in elevators, And let the freshmen run them for Late-risers and work-haters; Then I'd build a wall around The schoolhouse on the north, And fail to see the "M uny" pool Attempt to call me forth.

I'd keep on making changes on 'Most anyone's advice, And where one change was not enough, Another would suffice ; I'd put the room 300 right ext to 226, And when you transferred from one room 'Twould be simpler to fix;

Lincoln And when I'd made the building of greatest conveniency I'd go down to the office and Make pleas for leniency.

L'Envoi: When you get to this ending you Will think I have conceit, But that I thought you'd read this far Is nerve that can't be beat.

THE OLD FARMER'S ADVICE

If yer lookin' fer a place to go And blow a lotta money ;

If yer lookin' for the place they call

The land of milk and honey ; Where everybody asks you, "Aint This just the climate for ya?" It's the real estate man's haven And its name is California.

If yer tryin' to strike in rich and lead

An easy gain' life ;

And yer game ter take yer chances in The money-makin' strife; And yer plannin' on an oil-strike with The black stuff all a foaming ; Then you'll head fer Oklahoma or Fer Kansas er Wyoming.

If yer longin' fer the mountains and The flashin' mount'n streams; If yer want to see the lakes aglow With sunset's golden gleams; And yer want to breathe an atmosphere Refreshin' as sea-air ; Why you'll hit the trail fer Oregon An' stake yer claim out there.

But should you be the kind of man Who meets things face to face And doesn't lag behind the rest, Instead, who sets the pace; And who, when he attempts a thing Is nearly sure to do it;

\Vho bites off more than he kin chew And then proceeds to chew it; Then there's a place fer you ter pick And go an' stay fer good; You may have found a better place But, sure, I never could.

ow I guess that you'll be wonderin' what It is I'm boostin' for; It's a pl2ce where any feller kin Look out from his back door; And see the fields of corn fer miles Around-and then there's wheat An' acres of most anything

That you could want to eat; And it's where the air is clearer and The sky is full of blue; And the climate has them all beat and Is ready-made fer you.

Oh, you've guessed it have you, pardner ! I'm Plumb tickled that you knew; That there is such a place on earth And all I've told is true; Where there are little creeks and streams And rivers long and wide; And there 'er more trees every year And woods where game kin hide; It's where there's room fer growin' an' It's where you ought to be.

It's the best state in the union,-so

Of course it's N ebrasky !

-Sterling Bemis, '25

A OBSERVATION

What a cheerful cuss the Sparrow is, With his coat of brown And his life of bliss! He cheerfully chirps And hopefully hops And fond of eating? He never stops ! His stomach holds more Than the bill of the bird

Whose name with a swear word Is usually heard. He envies no other, He's quite self-content , All thoughts of the future On dinner are bent. Oh, think of the numerous Facts I've observed About this one Insignificant bird!

WHEN THE FROST IS IN THE OVAL

\Vhen the frost is in the oval and football is the game, And you hear the shouts and yells for the football fellow's name; And the chatterin' of the students, which has so little sense, And Ferguson's hallylooyer as he tiptoes by the fence; Oh, it's then the time a feller is a feelin' full of vim, With the risin' chant to greet him as tears out o' the gym, As he leaves the school bare-headed and jumps up o'er the wall, When the frost is in the oval and L. H. S. plays ball.

-Irene Davies, '25. New Home of ROBERTS DAIRY

'TWAS THE DAY BEFORE EXAMS

'Twas the day before exams, when all through the school , There wa hub-bub and confusion, no one kept the rule ; The slips for the credit were all written with care, With hopes that good marks soon would be there; The students were gathered in groups in the hall, \Vhile plans for vacation held the interest of all; Miss Pound and Mr. Clements, and each teacher in his room, Were bu ily engaged, in delivering the doom; \Vhen out on the campu , there arose such a clatter, We ran down the stairs, to see what was the matter; When, what to our wondering eyes, should appear, But a fine Packard car, and our principal, dear; He spoke not a word, but sprang out like a youth, And vve knew by his looks, he would tell us the truth; When he had come, to the studes on the stair, His good-natured face, glad tidings did bear; His eyes how they twinkled, his dimples how grand, His cheeks were like roses, his smile, it was bland; "Studes, just a moment, let me tell you some news, That will free you from care, and give you more time to use; Exams are suspended, all the classes have passed ; Your work has been good, but it's over at last, Let's give three hearty cheers, for dear Lincoln high, Happy vacation to all, and to all a good-bye."
