Will French

Although Mr. French ha s been at the head of Lincoln high school only a year, he has alread y won a great and well-deserved popularity. His whole-hearted enthusiasm for Lincoln high, his genuine interest in every phase of our. school life, and his easy cooperation in all the scholastic and extra-curricular activities of the school have gained him the sincere affection of both teachers and students Mr. French has been especially interested in the plans for the new annex, which is to be fini hed next spring. As many new courses can then be offered, Mr. French has already begun a thorough revision of the various courses of study now in use, and will soon have more and enlarged curriculums read y for the increased attendance next year.

Mr. French has had wide experience in teaching and administration. He is a graduate of the Kansas state university, where he also received his masters degree in education. He taught for two years in the high school at Winfield, Kansas , and for two years more was principal at Abilene, Kansas. In 1923 Mr. French returned to Winfield , where he had been elected to the position of superintendent of schools. Last spring he accepted the principal hip of Lincoln high chool and took up his duties last fall.

IOLIVIA M. POUND

Miss Pound has been a guide and friend

to Lincoln high school students since she _ first took a position here, in 1900. As she has taught in the histor y , English, and

Latin departments , and has served as act-

ing principal of Lincoln high for a year , Mi s Pound has become thoroughl y acquainted with the ambitions, needs , and I turns of mind of both teachers and students. • Her special province is with the I girls, in whom she shows her interest and sympathy in many ways. In 1919 • Miss Pound organized the girls athletic associa1 tion, and also established the all girls I league council, of which she is now the sponsor. She has helped many to find employment who would otherwise be obliged to leave school. Miss Pound has won the I admiration and affection of all who ·have I come to her in discouragement , seeking advice and sympathy.

PAUL . CAMPBELL

Mr. Campbell bears the same relation I to the bo y of the school that Miss Pound doe s to the girls. He takes a keen interest in all the activities and organizations especiall y interesting to the boys as well as in those of the school at large. His interest in the affairs of the school has been shown in the care he has taken in conduct-

Mr. Campbell before his coming to Lincoln last fall was principal of the high school at Okmulgee , Oklahoma. He is a

IIClass History

Earlr in the fall of 1922 an apparently commonplace event o:currd; n1mely. a crowd ·of short-trousered little boys and hair-ribboned little girls entere:i L:n:o!n high school. But this was no usual class. In the first place the freshm~n absolutely

refuse:! to be taken in by the tricks of the upperclassmen. They only ~nn_nd know-

ing-ly , hen tall sophomores offered to sell them assembly _and caf~ter.a tickets,, and de : Fne:l firmly to search for the elevator, even though its locat10n was caren~lly • expla ·ned. Furthermore thev sho\ved their school spirit from the first by atten :ling footb1ll games and plays. The second-semester freshmen, who at first had looked

IIupon the entering class with scorn, from the standpoint of the advanced knowledge

and experience of one semester, oon dropped thi manner, and were proud and glad to acknowledge the relationship.

It was not until the second semester that the class got around to electing officers.

However, the ones chosen made up for the delay. Edwin Snowden was president,

and Ward Taylor, Roy Hackman, Blanche Farren , Hamilton Hatfield, and Dick 'lills were elected to the other offices. Mrs. Grace G. Hyatt and Miss Carrie Roberts were chosen sponsors. The class has been fortunate in having been able to keep its two guides through the entire four years. Martin Aitken, Hamilton Hatfield an:l Genevieve Clayton represented the freshmen in debate.

The next fall brought the class back as full-fledged sophomores, wise, dignified, and superior. Ruth Mayhew and Martin Aitken represented the class in stu:ient led the class the last half of the year. During his administration the sophomores showed their ability by giving an assembly. The program was divided into two part The first included a boys act, a girls chorus, a dance, and musical numbers. The ~econd was an opera, in which a beautiful heroine, a handsome hero, a ferocious

IIIIIIIvillain, animated scenery, and the usual chorus entranced the audience . Thi per- I formance constituted the first official appearance of the class of twenty-six before the school.

A juniors the clas elected Sam Benbrook president for the first semester and

Hamilton Hatfield for the second. In the fall the twenty-sixers gave another assembly I to show how their talent had improved. This was a pioneer un:lertaking, as other classes had held only one assembly during their third year, and that in the second emester. The program consisted of several short acts, music, dancing, and readings, and a playlet, "At the Close of a Perfect Day in Any High School Student's Home,"

the realistic situations of which were much enjoyed by the audience.

ovember 5, the juniors gave a party in honor of themselves. Sam Benbrook won the pr :ze, a pumpkin pie, for having sold the most tickets.

I(\-s it junior play, the class presented "A Kiss for Cinderella," by Sir James I Barne. Evelyn Wood took the part of Cinderella, the warm-hearted little London slavey,_ with Elton Fee in the double role of the good,.,looking young policeman and t?: pnnce who figures so promine_ntly in C:nderella's dream. The assembly adver- tmng the play was one of the high spots of the year. Orville Andrews and his I irresistible jazz brought down the house. I

Although the senior won the olympics, the day was nevertheless a red-letter one for the j_uniors •. The weather was chilly and rainy, and the class of twenty-six derived conso~at,?n for its defeat ~rom the thought that the senior picnic would be spoiled. The Junio:5 made the seniors fight hard for their honors, and finally rushed off in tnumph with the senior colors. This feat compensated for the loss of the other events.

•r=:=====::11c====::::::i1c=====i1c=====:::Jc::::::Jc:::=:ir=:====::::::ic::=====:::::i1c=====:::::i1======:::i

IIIILater in the year the juniors were hosts to the seniors at the junior-senior banquet held at the Scottish Rite Temple. The two classes met with great friend-

liness and good will, desp:te the late hostility of olympics day.

Senior year brought back a privileged and conde cending group. It was inconvenient to have the auditorium for home room, perhaps, but it wa very grani. After a struggle the seniors succeeded in retaining their an(:ient right of atteniin:; all the assemblies, and incidentally gave a wholesome check to the bumpt'ous freshmen.

On senior color day the members of the class appeared festooned with purple and gold, the class colors. In the assembly given in the morning, Sam Benbrook, the class president, led the procession of seniors across the stage. The twenty-sixe cs

sang their cla ss song; written by Eugene Robb to the tune of "In Old Tew York."

Gertrude Sullivan gave an original dance, and Harriet Sutherland, Louis Hal mes, and Sam Benbrook presented a one-act play, Bills.

The class gave as its senior play, Icebound, by Owen Davis, which won the

IIIPulitzer prize for 1922. George Schmidt took the part of Ben Jordan, the black I sheep of the Jordan clan, and Genevieve Freeman that of Jane Crosby, who unobtrusively makes Ben into a man again.

The one hunired and fifty who were graduated in the winter class sele:.:.ted Sam

Benbrook, who seems to have the president habit, for their leader. Dorothy Marshall I and Edw:n Snowden were the other officers chosen. Dr. John Andrew Holmes delivered the commen:::ement address. Anne Eliza Torrance and Fieldin:; Woods were the senior speakers.

The survivors chose Ralph Buechner president for the last crowded se:nester. I On joy night Helen Seymour and Hamilton Hatfield presented an act, "A Pair of Lunatics." Olympics followed, with the junior-senior party banquet close behin:i. Suddenly it was graduation time, with Dr. Walter Aitken a speaker, and Lucile I Hae and Arch:e McMillen as class orators. I I I I I I I I I I

Sen i or Sponsors

Mr. oah Webster, of dictionary fame, in defining a sponsor, says, "One who b :n ds h irnself to answer for another's default ; a surety ; or, one who at the ba pt: srn of an infant or child guarantees its religious education."

Our common use of the word, "class sponsor," does not come with:n this defi-

nition. J either of the two meanings would fit. Our sponsors do not literally bind themselves to answer for our defaults; nor do they attempt to guarantee the religious I educaticn of the new-born cla s.

11

Therefore a new definition or rather an addition will have to be made. Mio-ht not the following be more suitable?

A sponsor is one who looks after a high school clas ; one who supplie encouragement at the right time; one who give advice wi ely and concisely; one who I seems never to fail or to manifest discouragement.

Our sponwrs, Mrs. Grace G. Hyatt and Miss Carrie Roberts, fully meet thi def:n:ticn. Their advice and encouragement have been truly appreciate:! by the class I of 1926.

Th: year the student council ha attemp t ed to br:ng the students an:! facu~ty I into even closer cooperation than existed before, and has endeavored to find some activity for every tudent in the extra-curricular life of the chool.

During the first six weeks of the opening eme ter the survivors of last years

council served until the new council wa elected. Eugene Robb wa5 cha en president both of the temporary council and of the one which ucceeded it.

On the fonday before school started, a program wa pre ented,in the auditorium to explain the various customs and traditions to the incoming freshmen and sopho-

I1 mores. Later a group of about forty juniors and seniors conducted the new students I to their home rooms and assisted them in their registration. The same plan was followed at mid-year; in addition a party for the new s tudent wa held in the boys gymnasium, with game and dancing. Also at the mid-rear a group of senior and

IIIIIjunior girls initiated a big- ister movement under the auspices of the all girls league

I council and the girls on the student council.

The Jx:>licy of keeping locker guard on duty during every period of the day was con tinued. The efficiency of the system was increased by having captains check

upon the guards at least three times each period, and by having them find substitutes

I for the absentees. This work was carried on under the direction of Jean Towne, Betty Sain and Myron Johnson.

Hall guides chosen from the home room repre entative body were placed on duty at the beginning of each lunch period to prevent running and crowding in

the hall . Jane Everett, Margaret Ames, and Helen Day composed the committee in I charge of the hall guides.

A courtesy committee conducted the vi iting athletic teams to and from the train and showed them about the city during both the football and basketball easons. The same attention was given to debate team and to the contestants in the state music

contest. Archie McMillen, Hamilton Hatfield, Allan Champe, Rob Sunderland, I and Carroll Pauley carried out the work of this committee.

On December 4 a banquet was held in honor of Mr. French and lv1r. Campbell. All new and old council members were asked to be present. Eleanor Berge was

chairman of the banquet.

Lois Haning was elected president for the second semester.

IA committee of council members, headed by Myron John on, cooperated excellently with the faculty in a comprehensive investigation of extra-curricular activit:es. Letters of inquiry about point systems were sent to variou parts of the country, I and, when the replies had been carefully studied, a number of recommendations were I made in regard to the present rating system. Hamilton Hatfield, Jo ephine Orr, Robert underland and Helen Day worked on thi committee. Another committee took charge of the enforcement of the present sy tern ' by mean of a card catalogue

Ilisting tudent holding po itions covered by the rating system.

At the suggestion of the council two lights were placed outh of the building beside the east and west sidewalks, o that patron at plays and other performance<; hould not tumble on the unfamiliar tep

On April 23 and 24 the second annual joy night was presented before t wo

·packed houses. Every number was required to pa s two preliminary try-outs before I its place on the program was assured. More than twenty-five groups urvived the first try-out, and over three hundred students participated in the program. InkSpilled , a humor sheet, was published under the direction of Archie McMillen, and sold

at the doors for five cents a copy. Profits from the paper and from the program were I used to reduce the debt on the wall. Much of the credit for the success of the affair belongs to Miss S. Adelia Winter, student council advi er.

IIIIHome Room Representatives

The home room representative body is an even more democrat:c group than the I student council, for each member is elected by the popular vote of his acquaintances in his own home room. This year for the first time the home room representatives ha ve

been organized with officers. I

The achievements of this organization this year have been numerous and varied. Perhaps the most noteworthy is the devising of an efficient system of hall guiding. Much of the credit for the increased order in the halls during the past

year should be given to the hall guides, who have to steel themselves against plaintive I requests for permission to gq to the office and telephone , to sew up a runner in a stocking, and a hundred and one others. ot until the home room representative is absent and his post is left vacant, is the real worth of the hall guide evident.

IIThe "reps" assisted on school color day by elling pennants, streamers and other I emblems in their home rooms. Their cooperation and good will also contributed a great deal to the succe s of joy night.

A special matinee party, the first of its kind , was held for this group in May, I I I

IAll Girls League Council

The all girls league council was formed in the fall of 1917 as an auxiliary to the student council. It is composed of girls from the three upper classes who

are chosen by the girls in t he student council. The girl holding the highest office

in the student council is president of the league.

IIEach year the council sponsors two par t ies for the girls of the school, with the purpose of making them better acquainted. The girl also decorate the audi- I torium and stage for all athletic assemblies, take charge of the student donations at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and superintend the lost-and-found box in the office.

IIIEditorial

Each year the taff selected to publish the annual trie to put out a better book

than any that ha preceded it, using as little aid as possible from persons not on the taff and e pecially from those not in chool.

Thi year the staff ha worked hard, and the results of its efforts are now before I you. Only two articles were written by persons not on the taff. Ruth Moon wrote the home room representative story, and Wesley Mays contributed the article on the Omaha Central game program. The account of the activities of the student

council was the work of Helen Day, the literature editor, and that of the all girl I league council was contributed by Mary Caldwell, business manager.

All the art work in the book was done in the art department. Miss Helen I Wilson, the head of that department, deserves special recognition for the amount of I time and the valuable aid she gave to the tudents doing thi work. Each piec e of art i signed by the student who e work it i .

Three conte ts were held this year, the winner of each receiving a paper bound

Links. Elizabeth A. Ferguson won the contest for the drawing of the cover design. I Harvey Bauer, elling nearly one hundred books, was victorious in the subscription contest. This year, for the first time, a Links was offered to the person elling the

Ilargest amount of adverti ing, in order to timulate a greater interest in that work. I Maurice Thompon won thi contest, selling advertising worth $182, with Julian Carpender a close second. Because of this contest and the untiring effort of l\tlr. Frank Kane, who had the selling in charge, more advertising wa sold than in any I prev10us year. I

Mi s A. Blodwen Beynon and her fifth period typewriting IV and fourth period office training cla es contributed a great deal toward getting the book to the printer on time. Their aid, coming when most needed, prevented a delay of everal days. I I I I I I I I

IFootball Souvenir Pro g ra m

A special souvenir program containing illu trated account o f nearl y ever y one I of the fifteen sports offered on the Lincoln athletic schedule, the whole bound iq a gaudy red cover designed b y Ernest Lindeman, was issued fo r the famous Lincoln

I vs. Omaha Central grid classic. I

The program was brought up to date for succeeding games by the insertion of leaflets describing other opponents during the rest of the football season.

The football theme predominated , with eleven of the twenty-four pages devoted

to the major sport. Two pages , illustrated b y cuts of the line-ups of the two Lincoln I teams , gave a brief account of each pla yer. Pictures from pre v ious games were inserted , together with the history of the 1924 and 1925 teams. A picture of Captain Harvey Bauer decorated one page. Several sheets were devoted to accounts of clubs I and faculty and snaps of the oval. On the last page were to be found the most I popular songs and yells of b9th schools.

One page was given to the ba sketball team and its splendid record for 1925. The swimming team also received a page. I

The proceeds from the sale of the program went to the athletics fund. The I price was ten cents.

Assemblies

Assemblies are popular, if for no othet reason than that they furnish a break in the monotony of class work. Some provide entertainment; some stimulate thought. Since they are one of the few ways by which the students can be reached as a whole, assemblies constitute a very important mean of uniting the school.

The first assembly of the year opened the football season. The students, obeying Mr. Ferguson's drastic admonition to "try to blow the sky-lights out," ang several school ongs lustily. Mr. French made his first appearance before the school at this time, when he and Coach Browne spoke on the prospects for the coming season. Mr. Matchett explained the arrangements for the sale of football tickets.

Dr. A. A. Brooks, a frequent and welcome speaker at Lincoln high, gave his last public address in Lincoln before the students. Dr. Brooks declared that his advice to those tarting out in life would be, "Have faith: faith in yourselves, confidence that you can do the work that life has in store for you, and faith in your fellow-men."

Mr Fergu on had charge of the next assembly. He played several of the selections which were to be given by the Kansas City Little Symphony orchestra at its approaching concert, not because he wanted to steal any thunder, but to give those who were to attend a keener appreciation of the beauty of the music. Mr. Ferguson first explained the theme and development of Mendelssohn's overture to A]JJidsummerNight'sDream. He told the students that the first four simple chords were intended to put the listener in the proper mood for fairyland and its frolicsome inhabitants, and that after the last lilting sounds of their revels had died away, the same chords served to transport one back to earth again.

Mr. Ferguson alo played parts of Grieg's PeerGynt suite; Anitra'sDanc.1, with its fascinating, pulsating melody and subdued strain of sadness; TheInTheHallof MountainKing, which makes one see so vividly the queer, hobbling little trolls and Peer Gynt's headlong descent of the hill; Asa'sDeath, with its quiet, regular harmonies; and Morning, a picture of sunrise over the northern fjords. theTheMarchof CaucasianChiefs, a wild barbaric triumphal paean, completed the program.

Another football assembly was held before the game with Omaha Tech. Mr. Ferguson and Jack Goodwin gave us strenuous practice in singing and cheering. Mr. French suggested his now-famous slogan, "They shall not pass," as a battle cry for Lincoln. Later our own fleet-footed and glib-tongued warriors gave dire and accurate prophecies of the fate in store for Tech.

A musical program given by alumni of Lincoln high school was presented a few days later. ]Hiss Jeanette Olson, of the class of '22, Miss Blanche Martz, '20, Ldand Wood, '21, and Luther Andrews, '17, took part. Miss Viola Gray presided over the program.

On school color day practically every member of the student body ·exhibited ome trimming of red and black to demonstrate his patriotism. At the assembly held in the morning, final preparations for the battle with Omaha Central were made. Speeches by Sam Waugh, '07, Gregg McBride, sport writer on the Star, and Coach Browne, on various a pect of the approaching struggle were given. The band, under the direction of Mr. Righter, demonstrated how the Centralites would feel before and after the truggle. We left feeling sorry for Central.

One of the most amusing programs of the year was presented to advertise the senior play, Icebound. Miss Cleo Schleger read the chapter from Tarkington's Seventeen in which little sister Jane indulges in some free comment on brother Bill and his latest flame. ext George Slater exhibited portraits of the cast. Then, to counterac.t Icebound, a comedy, and to prove that seniors sometimes can be serious, a tragedy, TheFatalQuest, was given. Archie McMillen, as the handsome duke, was undoubtedly the star of the performance. The drama ended with the violent

In observance of nat ional book week students in variou English classes wrote and presented a play , FriendsinBooklnnd, in which many old fa orites appeared as characters.

Armistice da y was the occasion for a patriotic program. The students , led by

deaths of the four principal characters-the lovely blue-eyed princess, Viv : an Fleetwood; her stern father , the king, Leon Larimer; the tender queen , Helen LeRossig1 nol, and the duke.

IIIIMr. Ferguson , ang songs popular during the war: TheLongLongTrail,Keepthe

HomeFiresBurning, and PackUpYourTroubles. Miss Julia Wert introduced Paul . Campbell, who spoke on world peace. He declared, "We must mob:lize the conscience of mankind. There must be not onl y a militar y demobilization, but

a demobilization of intolerance." Referring to the great war, Mr. Campbell said, I "It must never happen again. If the world has made any progress, it is by other methods and ideas, not by war." After Mr. Campbell's speech, Thomas Dickey played and explained the various bugle calls used during the day in an army camp.

Paul C. Johnston as speaker. Mr. Johnston told the students that true education I should build up and organize ideals. "True education 1s the building up and organizing of our lives around certain great truths," he said.

The next assembly wa held to ob serve national education week , with the Rev.

Flaunting the regal colors, purple and gold, the seniors observed the old cu stom of celebrating senior color day. Five hundred strong, the class marched across the I

auditorium stage, led by Sam Benbrook, their president. When they were all in their seats the twenty -sixers sang their class song, which was about as modest and humble as class songs usually are. The senior quartet, Earle McMunn, Eugene Robb, William ewens, and Louis Holmes, sang two selections, and Gertrude Sulli-

1 van gave a specialty dance. The final number was a one-act play, Bills, which de- I scribed the laughable complications that arose when the impoverished Mr. Davis thought he was warding off a bill collector. The stuttering Mr. Jones in reality had come to announce that the Davises had inherited a fortune.

IIIII"Football champions of the state" was the title bestowed upon Lincoln's te am

in an assembly held following the victory from North Platte. Coach Browne gave

a review of the ten games played by the team, in which Lincoln scored 377 points to her opponents' I 9. He declared that the will to win and the splendid cooperation of the team, together with the support of the school , had made this championship

season possible. The members of the team were given their L's at this time. I

Mr. Ferguson had charge of the second of the assemblies held before the concerts of the Kansas Cit y Little Symphony orchestra. He played Tschaikowsky's Troika, a lovel y example of descriptive writing, alternately spirited and melancholy, and TheU7 altzoftheFlowers. Mr. Ferguson explained that the intermezzo from

TheJewelsofthe Jl;f adonna, which he next played , furnishes an interlude of calmness

I and beauty in a rather sordid and cheerless opera. Last of all he gave The]~1arch oftheDwarfs, by Grieg, which portrays the hurry and rush of the mis hapen little goblins. The students joined in singing Jl,1erryLife, by Denza , and Oh,Susannah.

ext the student council presented a program before the school. The first I number was a vocal duet by Elizabeth Raugh and Josephine Orr. Myron Johnson played several cornet solo , which were followed by a dance given by a group of girls from the council. Ray Ramsay, of the University School of Music, establi hed himself in the affections of the student at once with a group of humorous readings.

The usually laughing and noisy groups of students were reverently silent as

they entered the dark and shadowy auditorium for the annual Christmas assembly. The glow of thirty-three white candles across the foot of the stage, and the brightness of colored lights on two little trees on either side furnished the only light The audienc~ sang a few old carols, and then the chorus presented parts of Handel's celebrated oratorio, TheJtlessiah, closing with the grand HallelujahChorus.

The final in the intercla debate took place in an assembly held December 3 I. The que tion wa , "Re ol ed· , that Congre s hould create a department of aeronau1 tics." In spite of the loud applau e for the seniors from the front of the auditorium,

IIIIIIIIthe deci ion , a given to the ophomores, who upheld the negative, and thus won the Magee Cup for a year. Katherine Howard, Herbert Bennell, and Robert Rait composed the winning team, and Elise Willson, Roy Hackman, and Elli Thomas were their opponents.

On January 5 the freshmen pre ented a program to exhibit ·ome of the cla s

talent. 1 usic, dancing and readings made up the entertainment. The last number was a "mellerdrammer" with the eternal triangle of heroine, hero, and villain.

"We have played half the game and played it well; now let us all make this

second half a big ucce s, and come out with a big core," declared Mr. French at

the first assembly of the second semester. "I con ider myself coach of a great team of 2240 members; each member must do his be t and cooperate with the others if Lincoln is to be successful."

Lincoln's birthday was celebrated by a memorial program. Ray Ramsay, who

IIhad establi hed a reputation for humor among the student , now made a deeper I impression with his skillful and sympathetic reading of Mary Shipman Andrews' The PerfectTribute.

The Links staff opened their Links sales campaign with an assembly in which they

presented a huge Links, from which the performer walked to give their number • I The program was a variety performance of which each part represented a ection of the book, from seniors to advertising.

Just before the state basketball tournament two rallies were held. Mr. French and Coach Browne spoke, telling of the record of the team for the season and the

battle before the players in the tourney. The squad members turned orators and I gave fifteen-second speeches which aroused great applau e.

The juniors next gave an assembly to advertise their play , CappyRicks. After a program of musical numbers the cast was introduced by a girls quartet which

announced each actor a he entered.

The Orpheons gave a musical program in their annual assembly. The girls junior glee club sang two numbers, and Beth Miller and Ardeth Pierce played two piano duets. Earl McMunn ang a solo, and 1 ellie Farr and Eugene Robb gave instrumental solos.

The union of Knight O'Pleasure and Joy Resistless was the chief feature of the

program held to advertise joy night. The' as embly gave an idea of what was to come at the real program.

The class of '28 opened a broadcasting station, SOPH, on the auditorium stage, and put it fir t program on the air in as embly. A speech telling of the talent of

the cla s, musical selections, readings, and a group of poems for the bed-time story

hour were broadcast to the audience. The usual sheaf of telegram was received and acknowledged by Lauer Ward , announcer.

The art club had charge of an assembly held to acquaint the student with its work and purpose. Prof. P. H. Grummann, the speaker, declared that the age-old complaint about the inferiority of the younger generation was never more unfounded than today. He praised the modern methods of education, particularly the increased attention paid to the fine arts, music, drama, and painting. He also told the students

Oz Black, cartoonist for the Star, who gave the other half of the program, aroused much amusement with his cartoons of well-known personage at school.

For the eniors the days when they attended as emblies are gone. ow all that is left- for them is the expectation of coming back to Lincoln high as alumni, and appearing on the other side of the footlights to entertain or instruct the r:sing generation.

IIIDe b ate

" Resolved, that the members of the President ' s cabinet be allowed to speak on I the floor of Congress," was t he question discussed by Mr. Dunn's debaters this y ear. Th~ Red and Black orators were entered for the second time in the Missouri Valley League Contest, in which the Abraham Lincoln and Thoma Jefferson high

schools of Council Bluffs, and the Omaha Central , Omaha Technical, and South

Omaha high schools were the other competitor

From among ten students who registered for debate, two teams were chosen. The affirmative team consisted of Carroll Paule y, Hamilton Hatfield and Archie

McMillen; the negative team of Arthur Bukin, John Ames and Frank Ross. Herbert I Bennell substituted in one debate.

With the exception of Frank Ross and Archie McMillen, who had represented

the chool the preceding season , Mr. Dunn had an entirel y inexperienced squad I to whip into shape for the strenuous sea on outlined , Most of the debaters on the contesting school team s had been seasoned b y everal y ears experience , so that under the circumstances the Lincoln arguers ma y be considered fortunate in having won I three debates of the twel v e scheduled. I

Lincoln did not enter th~ state league conte st , as had been the custom , but the Red and Black representati v es have ucce ssfully met all the local teams in the eastcentral district as well a some outside this portion of the s tate. Last y ear Lincoln I was in the tournament, and was runner-up with the Omaha Central debaters, who won I the state championship.

Arrangements are being made for Lincoln to enter a triangular league with Sioux Cit y, Iowa, and Yankton , South Dakota, next year. The Lincoln orators are I also contemplat:ng a meet with Fort Dodge and Des Moines , Iowa , or with some I

Ischools in Kansas. The e arrangements mean much to the Red and Black standing, afield and at home, and are important steps up Lincoln's debate ladder.

A new feature of the forensic programs this year was that after · each debate,

the teams, coaches, and judges were served refreshments in the teachers rest room. This innovation, introduced by Miss Winter and Miss Cook, was managed by the student council and Forum. Parents, sponsors, and backer of the re pective teams

were invited. Visiting teams which have remarked on the fine treatment accorded

them by the school have seemed especially impressed by the activity of the Red and Black student organization

: THE FORUM CUP DEBATE

The Forum cup, purchased by the Beatrice and Lincoln high school Forums in ·

1918, and destined to become the permanent trophy of the school winning the inter- I scholastic debate three successive years, this year became the posse sion of Lincoln high school. Up to this year each schoo1 had won four debates, but never three consecutive ones. Lincoln had won in '24 and '25, so this was the crucial year.

Lincoln, represented by Carroll Pauley, Hamilton Hatfield, and Archie McMillen, I upheld the affirmative, Beatrice, with Wanna Metcalf, Laura Peck and Wallace Laughlin, the negative. The contest took place in a special assembly beld during fourth period March 1 7. The question discussed was, "Resolved, that the mem1 bers of the president's cabinet should have a right to speak on the floor of Congress." I The decision of the judge was two to one in favor of the affirmative. Hugh Cox, '23, presided over th~ debate. The judges were Elwyn Wherry of the Cotner debate team, Harry Tyler, superintendent of schools at Havelock, and Lee Basye, assistant attorney general.

IIII 1TERCLASS DEBATE

In the school year of 1917-18 the Magee Clothing Company offered a loving

cup to the champion class debating team, with the understanding that the team which was victorious for three successive seasons should hold the cup permanently. In 1923 the class of '24 won the original Magee cup, and another was offered for

competition.

This year the debates were held during the first semester instead of the econd. The ophomores and fre hmen held preliminary elimination contests in their respective home rooms; the upperclassmen had class try-out Before the Christmas vacation

the fre hmen had it out with the sophomores, while the seniors argued with the

juniors. The classes of '28 and '26 were victoriou

December 31 the two teams met in assembly. The question was, "Resolved, that Congress should create a Department of Aeronautics." Eli e Willson, Ellis Thomas, and Roy Hackman argued for the seniors. The sophomore team, Katherine Howard,

Robert Rait, and Herbert Bennell, coached by Miss Winter, received the decision,

thereby winning a lap in th~ race for the cup.

Miss Cook took charge of the debating this year, managing the forensic contests with much ability. The junior team, composed of Lucile Ledwith, Allen Beaumont, and Wendell Groth, was trained by Mr. Schafer; the freshman arguers, Meredith elson, Gordon Jorgensen, and Richard King, were coached by Miss English.

IHi-Y

I

I

With a fifteen-thousand-dollar club-house, the only Hi-Y club-house in the country, the Lincoln Hi-Y may consider itself extremely lucky. The building, donated eight years ago by Mr. H. E. Sidles, was rebuilt and enlarged last summer to accom1 modate the increased membership and patronage. The present membership is two I hundred.

This year the Hi-Y has promoted several new enterprises. Among these have been a football training table, a big football banquet, a joint banquet for the Hi-Y and the student club, and Sunday afternoon discussions between the two organiza1 tions. I

In pursuance of its purpose, "to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character," the Hi-Y has conducted its regular "Find yourself" campaign , a state conference for older boys, a spring I "retreat," and held the annual mother and son banquet.

The programs have been profitable as well as entertaining.

Round Table

Girls of the normal training department are eligible to the Round Table. The club was first organized in 1913, under the name of Busy Bees. Later it was called I W. W.

Tr y-outs are based upon the applicant's ability to tell a stor y of a sort interesting to small children. I

Melvin VanDenbark, whose TwofVomenof HogBackRidge was judged among the best short stories of 1924, gave, a talk on I short story writing at one meeting. Another meeting was devoted to the reading I of alumni manuscripts.

The zoology club was :g:n:~~:Ythe~!:~ of 1924. Its purpose is to carry on a more extensive study of animal life than is possible during class time. This is accomplished by means of talks and discussions at meetings. Field trips are often taken, when the members of the club gather to study unusual specimens.

Girls Glee Club

early every girl in Lincoln high school has at some time aspired to become a I member of the glee club, so unusually popular is this organization. Membership in the club spell hard work and plenty of it, but also much fun and enjoyment. This year the girls have appeared on a number of occasions. At the Lieurance concert,

I the girls sang three Indian selections, Wuim,Samoweno, and BytheWatersof I Minnetonka. The girls also sang a group of songs for the tate teachers association and for mother and daughter night.

The boy and girls glee clubs meet together once a week during the first semester, and form the advanced chorus. Together they presented programs at the I commencement exercises and at an assembly at Twenty-sixth and O street junior I high.

The cantata, TheRoseMaiden, was presented at the mid-year concert by the glee clubs assisted by alumni soloists. TheMessiah wa ung at the Chri tmas I assembly. Thi beautiful and impres ive oratorio was repeated as a vesper concert I the Sunday following Chri tmas.

Much of the success of the, glee clubs must be attributed to the untiring efforts I and enthusiasm of the director, Mr. H. 0. Ferguson. During the nine years he has been supervisor, Mr. Ferguson has made notable achievement in arousing musical interest and appreciation in Lincoln school s.

The boys glee club gave a group of songs for assembly. and also sang at the I commencement exercises , the mid-year concert, and the Christmas assembly.

Girls Junior Glee Club

This seme ter the girls jun io r glee club. wa under the direction of Mr . Elizabeth 1 ~ Hamann Griffith. Thi club i organized during the second semester only, when the senior glee clubs combine to work on the opera.

The fact that in 1925 the junior glee club won first place in the state contest , when compet:ng with advan ced glee club , shows the grade of work done by this I organization. This year the junior glee club of forty-five members is exceptionally good, especially in sight reading. · As more try out each year, it is pos ible to choo ~e

I only the very best voices, and thus raise the standard.

Advanced

The work of the Lincoln high school advanced orche tra is the culmination of I I the orchestral work of the public school . Most of its members have belonged to I grade school and junior high school orchestras, and after attaining an adequate

Orchestra

degree of musicianship have been admitted to the advanced orchestra. Its excellence is the result not only of the musical ability and well-rounded experience of its members, but al o of what their leader, Mr. Righter, calls their "one-hundred per cent de- ! pendability".

Lincoln high chool may consider itself fortunate in having for the director of its orchestra a musician of such fine caliber as Mr. C. B. Righter, Jr. It i~ through hi efforts that the orche tra has become one of which Lincoln high school is

rightfully proud.

During the fir t semester the orche tra presented a program for the tate teachers associat:on, and played at the commencement exercise and the mid-year concert.

IAn assembly program in three parts was given bv the orche tra 1\1:arch 17. The

first part included elections from TheFortuneTeller, by Victor Herbert, and the Adagietto an:i Minuetto from L'Arlesienne uite, by Bizet. The second part was a short demonstration of the various instruments. The overture ightMorning,oonand inT'ienna, by Suppe, an:i Andantino, by Lamere, concludd the program.

Player elected from this body made up the orchestra for the opera, and for the Messiah, which wa given both in assembly and as a vesper concert.

IProbably there is no organization in Lincoln high school better known and I appreciated than the band. In the fall the band adds enthusiasm to the football games and the athletic assemblies and rallies. This year, besides playing for the I home games, the band went to Omaha for the Lincoln-Omaha Tech game and also I played at two of the university games. In October the boys presented a program for the Pathfinders club at the Chamber of Commerce. November r I, they led the Armistice day parade.

This year considerable individual progress has been made. Mr. Righter's

knowledge of so many musical instruments enables him to train his band so thoroughly I as to raise it to an almost professional standard.

More compositions of standard grade have been studied than ip former year5: among them the Raymond overture, Thomas; three dances from HenryVIII, German;

Orchestra

The preparatory orchestra i a stepp:ng- tone to the band and the advanced

orchestra. It wa organized to give student who were not quite ready for advanced work a chance to improve and to receive the neces ary training in orchestral music. Thi year with an enrollment of fifty, it i larger and more ambitiou than ever

before. evera1 members of the preparatory orchestra are qmlified to enter the

advanced organization, but are unable to do so because there are no vacancies.

The preparatory orchestra made its first publ:c appearance in December, at the teachers reception at the Chamber of Commerce. Member of this orche tra als 1J made up the theater orchestra for the econd seme ter. This is the fir t time in the

hi tory of the preparatory orchestra that this work ha been attempted; but because

of the increa~ed individual ability of the students, in all probability the members of the theater orchestra will hereafter be chosen from the preparatory orchestra.

M i d-Year Concert

The ninth annual mid-year concert, pre ented January 15, was perhaps one of the mo t enjoyable ever given at Lincoln high school.

The advanced orchestra opened the program with Widor's Serenade. Von

IIIIIIIWeber's difficult overture, DerFreischuetz, was played with a sk ill in phrasing and I technique worthy of a more mature organization. Two selections from L'Arlesienne suite, by Bizet, were next played, the Minuetto and the Adagietto. Gertrude Giermann, '26, violinist, played the Adagietto, accompanied by the orchestra. This most effective and beautiful number won much applause.

The second part of the concert, a cantata, TheRoseJvlaiden, by Frederic Cowen, I was beautifully performed by the glee clubs and chosen members of the chorus classes, assisted by the theater orchestra. The soloists were Blanche Martz, soprano; Marian Sylvester, contralto; Earle McMunn, tenor; and Joe Zimmerman, baritone. Beth

Miller and Verna Trine accompanied. The chorus, 'TisThyWedding ,.l1 orning,

and duet, IKnowaRosebudShining, were e pecially well received.

State Music Contest

For the third consecutive year Lincoln has won the grand trophy in the state I music contest. The beautiful ilver loving cup, given by the Chamber of Commerce, i now the permanent property of the school. Lincoln thi year won a total of forty- four points. Omaha Central ranked econd with a core of twenty-eight points Uncoln en t ered seven events, scoring first in orchestra, band, mixed chorus,

piano solo, violin solo, and flute solo, and taking second place in 'cello solo. The

individual contestants were Ardeth Pierce, piano; Gladys Beyette, 'cello; Abraham Hill, violin; and Laurence Tyler, flute.

IThe state music contests, now held regularly, were first organized in 1924. It was thought that these conte ts would further musical interest and promote high I standards of musicianship in high schools. They have proved to be of even greater value than wa at first expected. Besides hearing and seeing the work of other • chools, the tudents profit by the critici m of the iudge. cholarships are awarded to the individual contestants winning first place, and silver cups are given to ucc~ssful group • Fifteen schools ente~ed the first contest in 1924; this year sixty-eight towns I competed.

Mr. Adrian ' ewen , of the University School of Music, presented the Sinfonia trophy to Hebron Academy, which won the highest number of points in Cla s B. Former Governor S. R. McKelvie presented the grand trophy to Lincoln.

The judges were Mr. Joseph Maddy of Ann Arbor, Mich-~an; Mis Margaret Streeter of Camden, ew Jersey; and Mr. Stanley Deacon of Kansas City, Mis ouri.

IThe Chocolate Soldie r

TheChocolateSoldier, presented Ma y 28 and 29 , is the ninth annual opera

given by the glee clubs under the direction of Mr. H. 0. Fer g uson.

The scene of the opera is laid in Bulgaria in the year 1885 , while Servia and Bulgaria are at war. It is a time of great excitement. The famil y of Colonel Popoff

of the Bulgarian arm y , con s isting of P o p off 's daughter r adina , hi · nie ce Mascha, and

his wife Aurelia , are concealed in their home, fearful of the approaching conflict.

Bumerli , a y oung Swiss officer att a ched to the commissary department of the Ser v ian force s, is attacked by a Bulgarian patrol , whom he eludes b y climbing into adina ' s boudoir. His suave manner s and quick wit compel adina's admiration ,

II and she conce a ls him. Later Bumerli , who ha s engaged in this flirtation with adina· I to sa v e his life , falls in love with her. The love affairs of I adina and Bumerli and o f 1ascha and Alexiu furn:sh the sentiment of the opera.

IILet's D:: am It

I have never had ten thousand dollars. I may never have it at any one time,

so I do not, know what I should do if that sum were handed me in a lump. It 1t were the profits of a stock transaction, I should buy more stock and lose my money.

If a Florida real estate deal should enrich me by that amount, I should remove to I • Miami or Coral Gables or Hollywood-by-the-Sea and soon be a rich man-a second • Barney Google, in fact. If I had robbed a bank, I should travel. I think Guatemala is the present residence of many gentlemen of the profession honored by Jesse James, so to Guatemala I should hie, to be free from Sunday blue-laws an:l extrad "tion. If

IIIIIIit were a legacy, the will would undoubtedly read: "To my dear nephew (it is always

I a rich uncle who dies), Morris Anderson, I leave the -sum of ten thousand dollars, provided he is married in thirty days." A gift from Henry Ford or John D. Rockefeller is out of the question; I do not use Standard Oil gasoline in my Ford. ( I

would if I had the Ford, though.) Maybe I should win the money in a prize contest.

If I did, I should die of heart failure and be unable to use the money. Satan, it is said, refuses bribes.

"Buried treasure," you say.

But buried treasure, says the law, reverts to the heirs of the one who buried

Iit. Furthermore I lost my rabbit's foot last winter. Only one means remains. I Work! And I hate work!

Oh, let's dream it. Very well. Here is ten thousand dollars in stage money. Presto! Changeo ! and it is actual coin of the realm. Now to spend it!

I would set aside the sum of two thousand dollars for my university education

With the eight thousand dollars remaining, I would travel. That amount would I take me around the world, with a non-stop train through Monte Carlo. I would ski in Switzerland and hunt in India ( first assuring myself that the tiger tracks were going in the opposite direction). I would visit the Eternal City, float in a

Venetian gondola, see the Apaches of Paris and of ew Mexico, and lose myself in I a London fog. I would eat sauerkraut in Germany, have an elephant steak in the Koni;o. and sample Chinese tea. I would bathe in one of the Turkish baths described by Mark Twa;n_ I would ride in a jinrikisha, on an elephant, astride a burro, and perched on a camel.

I would be violently seasick. I would be myself! When my eight thousand I • dollars had gone the way of all good money, I would return, take a university course, and go to work. I shouldn't put that sad ending on this tale, but it is true, too true.

-Morris Anderson, '26.

Kites

They dipped and soared with wings outspread, I Like birds. I The wind carried them far o'erhead, Like birds. They tugged at the strings on which they swung, I One red, one green, I With tails outflung.

IIIIIIIIHunting Coyotes

One bright, cold day in December found me wandering over the fields with only a dog and a rifle for company. A light snow had fallen the night before, and rabbit

tracks ( I was hunting rabbits) were easy to find. I wa follo, ving one unusually

plain track ""-hen the thought of the rumor I had heard in town the day before came to me. Two coyotes were traveling south-west across the country. A few days before, they had been seen near Kearney. What an adventure it would be to see

those coyotes now! And maybe I should, for if they continued to travel toward th~

southwe t, they would surely pass near by.

Suppose I should! It is surprising how the thought overwhelmed me. o, I should not be afraid, even though I had never encountered more dangerou game than rabbits and ducks, both of which I killed frequently. I was sure that I should

Ishoot them as calmly as if they were rabbits. And what a sensation I should arouse! I My namf e ,vo 1 1:1ld 1 be on 1 ev 1 eryhone' 1 sd tong~e lt hmight_ evefn appeadr ind the 1 wd eekly paper o our 1tt e town. s ou receive muc praise, or my ee wou save many of the farmers' pigs and chickens from the disaster of being eaten by wolves.

r O longer should I be chided for wandering miles and miles and return· ng with I only a rabbit or now and then a duck. If only this chance would come to me!

l\!Iy trail now crossed a great number of trails. I was puzzling over which way to go when I noticed that my dog had stopped and pricked up his ears. I glanced

in the direction he was looking just in time to see two sh,aggy shapes disappear into I a hole in a straw stack.

•

"The coyotes!" I said aloud. And, grabbing my dog by his collar, I hastened in that direction. After a while I ordered him to stay back, and I cautiously

advanced. This was just the chance I had been looking for. I had now almost I reached the stack. My gun was half-raised and ready for instant shooting. I crept closer until I reached the straw. Could I hit my mark? I did not know, but I decided to make one great effort. Slowly I edged around the stack until I could see the hole into which they' had disappeared.

Then I stopped, for I was afraid to go any farther. Suddenly the question of how

I was to get them to come out came to me. With it my heart sank. I did not dare to approach any closer, and my slight knowledge of animals told me that I could not scare them into coming into the open. Should I sen~ my dog in? o, that

would be a cowardly thing to do; I would rather lose all the honor of killing those I beasts than have my faithful hunter torn and mangled by them.

Just then a brighter thought came to me. I could burn the stack and smoke them out . Yes, here were the matches in my pocket. But no; I had forgotten that

I was trespassing over my neighbor's fields, and he would probably resent my burning

his tack. But surely he would rather lose the straw than have his barn -yard and others robbed by famished coyotes.

A sharp bark from my dog recalled me from my thoughts. Quickly I glanced I at the hole. I saw my neighbor's two lanky collies emerging. At one glance I the praise of the people, the ne,npaper article, and all my plans vanished. Later I returned h ome with but a rabbit, as usual. I said nothing of my adventure, and for the first time I was thankful that dogs could not talk.

IIIII!.The Ghost in t h e Haunted House

One night when playing Run Sheep Run , we happened to stop for breath near a deserted house. The house was haunted, we had been told ; therefore we had never

explored it, even in the daytime. We had always avoided it before at night , but

being absorbed in the game , we had not noticed where we were running , until the haunted house loomed up before us.

For a minute we were taken aback at being so near such a fearsome thing in the ,

night. Then omeone boldly suggested that we enter and try to find the ghost, if

there really was one. Each one, not wishing to be called a coward by his companions, agreed to the suggestion. We boldly marched up to the door , which opened with groans and creaks when we pushed on it. With pounding hearts and gasping breath we proceedfd on our explorations. The air inside was musty and dr y ; there wa s

a feeling of presence somewhere.

We peered suspiciously into a bedroom. There was no one there. The moonlight played among the shadows, casting weird images on the wall.

"What was that-the rustling noise in the closet?"

II"Open the door and look in." I

Squeak!

A rat dived into his hole.

There wasn't any ghost in this room.

Slam!

He had locked us in! We rushed to the door. Ah! it wasn't locked: the I draught must have made it slam.

"Let's go upstairs. The ghost might be up there. We've got to see him while we've got the chance."

"Be quiet, and maybe we can . catch him!"

We stole up the stairs.

Ugh!

I grabbed the bannister just in time: he had a trap door set for us.

"Th-th-th-there he is!"

"It's just a broken step, dummy. Don't make so much noise." I

"Oh, he ain't either! That's the moon shining on the torn wallpaper."

"Oh, whew! I thought it was him!"

What is that clammy feeling around my face? I

hand

"Oh, he's got me! he's got me!"

I struck up with my hand: only some cobwebs! I thought surely it was his

"Jiminy ! Who's crying in there?"

"That's a squeaky hinge on the shutter , fool!" i

IITlzud! i "Ow! He hit me with a crock. Run, fellers, run!"

And we dashed downstairs and out into the moonlight.

"Let's not go back," said one.

" o, we've had enough."

We trooped down the road, leaving the ghost the sole occupant of the haunted house.

"What have you got on your cap? Huh! Plaster. A hunk fell off the ceiling and crowned you." I

IPuppy's Progress

Laddie a rrived at our house when he was two week old-a round , soft, shape- 11

less puppy. He is a white fox terrier , with a black mask and black , erect ears. For

. a while he did nothin g but sleep an::l drink warm milk from a bab y' s bottle. When he tried to walk on the slipper y wa x ed floors his stubb y legs shot out from under him; a trip across the room left him breathle s .

IIIIIIILaddie also had to learn how to go up an:l down stairs. Before he mastered

this feat he u sed to stand for a long time on the br ink of that great and terrible abyss , shifting nervously from one foot to another , now and then lowering a paw

Itentatively and jerking it back. Sometimes he would get too dose to the edge of I the step and would bump down the whole flight, with shrill yelps of terror and pain. If he did not make his descent in this wa y , Laddie would let himself down backwards, cautiously , like an old lady getting off a train. He found it easier to

climb up the stairs. He ascended by reversing his method of descent; front paws

on the step above him, a desperate scratching with his hind legs, ~nd he was up. The family was not allowed to enjoy this pleasant performance for more than a few days, however , as our dog could soon scamper up and down any stairs , no matter how

steep or narrow the steps.

A little later Laddie discovered how to use his teeth. He put them to work at once , and so received his banishment to the basement and the out-of-doors. He chewed nearly two inches off the ends of the rockers of an old chair on the porch , and

removed every trace of heel from a pair of shoes left within his reach. Tr ying as I these little act :vities were, they were a great incentive to tidiness.

The Pup would sit on the porch each afternoon to receive the newspaper. If it

was rolled up, he gnawed the ends off; if it was loose, he tore it into square inch I pieces. Somehow sensing our disapproval of this pastime , he evidently came to the conclusion that we valued newspapers, so each evening he would collect three or four of them from our neighbors' doorsteps and fetch them home. He performed

this service faithfully, and if by chance some war y housewife retrieved her paper be- I fore it was too late, Laddie searched diligentl y around the porch and steps with anxious sniffs. He would return se veral times during the evening to hunt again, never quite giving up, for he is a persevering animal and hates to acknowledge defeat. I

Laddie is now no longer The Pup. He has forsworn his youthful pranks and I is sedate and dignified , with a decided fondness for sneaking up on soft beds. The ne :ghbors read their papers in peace , not pieces; and our belongings lie about in I their wonted disorder. Laddie's interests are material now; his character is too I worldly for the innocent amusements of his childhood. He sits in the sun, eats, goes to sleep, eats , is pushed outside with a broom , sits in the sun, and goes to sleep again. Peace and placidity are his aims.

ICaptain Brassbound"s Conversion

The power of a brilliant smile and a sweet-spoken "Howd'yedo" is the keynote of Bernard Shaw's CaptainBrassbound'sConversion, presented by' the Mummers

February 12. Lady Cicely Wayneflete, played by Evelyn Wood, is serene and I confident always-while kept a prisoner in a wild Moorish castle by a bandit, while faced with capture by an Arabian sheik, and while manoeuvering tol secure Captain Brassbound 's acquittal from court-martial.

George Tracy took the part of the vindictive Captain Brassbound, smuggler I and leader of a cut-throat crew. Although he is a domineering leader of men, the I captain is overwhelmed - by Lady Cicely's subtle management, and not only is persuaded to give up his cherished revenge on Sir Howard Hallam, his uncle and Lady Cicely's brother-in-law, but abandons his whole bitter philosophy of life, and starts I over, followed by his faithful though uncomprehending crew. I

La Selle Gilman, as Felix Drinkwater, had another difficult part. His reproduction of the speech and mannerisms of that . volatile little cockney was convincing and entertaining. I

IJoy N ig h t

The second annual joy night was the most hilarious of all the performances

given this year. Two of the largest audiences that ever attended a Lincoln high school production witnessed the entertainment, which was presented April 23 and 24.

A prologue, TheLongandtheShortofIt, by Donald Renner, six feet tall,

and Victor Wink, four feet, opened the program. They cracked jokes and discu sed

the evening's program.

• The first number wa a one-act sketch, FowlPlay, which revealed a nerve-racking hour in the lives of an impecunious novelist and his wife. They appropriated a

IIIIIIchicken which had been delivered by mistake at their apartment, and then foµnd

themselves forced to entertain the rightful owner of the fowl at dinner.

The student club presented a grand opera, the scene of which was in a burning apartment house. The characters and chorus, instead of making their escape at once, as any people but opera types would do, remained amid the smoke and flames, singing

about the dreadful danger and the need for immediate departure, but not going.

Students always enjoy seeing their dignified instructors unbend, and consequently the audience was much entertained at the chorus of pedagogues who gave two song hits. The teachers were arrayed in a variety of striking costumes; shrieks of mirth greeted the discovery of each familiar member of the faculty. Miss Alma Swanson

starred as the flapper, with suspenders, short skirt, and swagger st:ck.

The home m:smanagement class presented AKitchenNightmare. A cheerful young housewife makes a sponge cake with a bath sponge as the principal ingredient, and puts on roller skates to aid her progress around her kitchen.

IIIIThe G. A. A. demonstrated the various activities of the club in an act called I TheA,1archoftheSports. Tennis, track, dancing, hiking, and other activit:es were . demonstrated in pantomine.

The Versatile quartet, Ardeth Pierce, Beth Miller, Abraham Hill, and Jack Goodwin, gave a group of vocal and instrumental numbers

The writers club act was located in a movie lot. Every device is tried to make I the star weep, but not until her tie is ruined by a stream of water from a squirt-gun does she shed tears, and then it is discovered that there was no film in the camera

The final number was a minstrel show given by the junior glee clubs. Dances I and songs were given, and several students sang solos. I I I I I I I I I

IIII"Football Champions of ebra ka" was the title bestowed upon the Lincoln

gridmen, after they had finished the most successful season in the history of Lincoln high school. The team held undisputed claim to the championship; Coach Browne's men had won ten consecutive game , and totaled 377 points to their opponents' 19.

In the first game of the season Lincoln easily won from Creighton Prep, by a

count of 42-0. The backfield aces, Witte, McBride, and Packer, were the most con- istent ground-gainers for the Red and Black. Fuxa was the outstanding player for the Blue Jays. Even though a muddy field hampered play, the Lincoln team displayed a fine brand of football in the opening tussle.

Ha tings next journeyed to Lincoln, and rece;ved a sound drubbing to the tune of 53-0. Like Creighton Prep, the Hastings youths were unable to penetrate the Lincoln defense, while the Red and Black offense was working superbly, the backfield skirmish. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Coach Browne ent in an entirely new team.

The closest game of the season ,vas staged at York, where Brown:e's leather luggers were hard pressed to take the long end of a 10-6 count. Fisher snared a pass

for the winning touchdown, after York had taken the lead with a touchdown by

Friel. York had been pointing for thi game, and put up a great battle in an effort to mar the Links record.

Three hundred loyal fans accompanied the Lincoln team to the Omaha Tech

game, where the Links gained ample revenge for the defeat handed them in the

IIa line plunge.

'24 eason by trouncing the Techsters 16-6. McBride carved his name in the hall of fame when he place-kicked the ball for ten of Lincoln's points, three field goals and one try for point. A twenty-five yard pa s, via the Witte-to-Fisher route, ac- counted for the other six points. Captain Prerost cored Tech' only counter through

Iof the game.

Beatrice furni hed little opposition to the championship-bound Links, and the Yellow team wa blanked 47-0. The Gage county youths chalked up one fir t down, while Lincoln was making fifteen. As before, Witte and McBride were the scoring tars, each crossing the goal line three times. The re erves were used a great part

IThe Omaha Central gridders, accompanied by two hundred rooter , next travelled to Lincoln, full of fight and determined to top the Red and Black winning combination proved too strong to be halted, and the Lincoln gridders took the long treak. The Centralite displayed a good brand of football, but the Witte-McBride I end of a 21-0 count.

IAbout the busiest man at the St. Joe Central game wa , the score keeper; Lincoln copped the honors of the track meet, 7 1-0. The St. Joe aggregation, while showing

a clean-cut brand of football, was outplayed as well as outweighed. The reserves were given a good work-out in the scoring fest, the Links counting more points in this game than in any other of the season.

Unexpected strength an:l stubbornne s were shown by the Grand Islan:l clan;

the Third City huskies succumbed after displaying the best defensive tactics shown against the Links. It was a fierce battle, and hard-earned by the Brownies , who _ counted seventeen points, shutting out the I landers.

I"Lincoln plays Havelock" was the verdict of the ebraska Athletic Association, as Lincoln, orth Platte and Havelock had clean slates for the season. The Uncoln-

1 Havelock fray was played on Ballard Field at Havelock. While managing to rerria:n I unbeaten during the season, the Havelockians proved no match for the red-jerseyed ball luggers, who showed the suburbanites some rudiments of football, and incidentally rolled up a 53-0 count. Witte and McBride ran wild, while George Miller, shifty

Iquarterback, was the outstanding shoptown player.

By virtue of winning the western ebraska champ:onship, orth Platte was scheduled to clash with the undefeated Links. The ebraska Athletic Board arranged to have the game played in the Husker memorial stadium. In spite of a biting wind and disagreeable weather, a fair crowd of fans turned out to view the Red and I Black team in the last game of the season. In the first few minutes of play, after a I blocked punt and a pass had carried the ball close to the goal line, Morr :s of I orth Platte scored. After spotting the Platter s seven points, the Lfntolnites started a drive which resulted in touchdown after touchdown and a final of 47-7.

IIn the championship games , Lincoln scored an even 100 points to her opponents' I 7. The Links won the '25 championship by a larger margin than any ever registered m ebraska.

Football Reserves

The Red and Black second team, schooled by the knocks and bumps given by a

championship eleven, had a fairly successful season. They won four out of six games,

I tied one, ond were defeated once.

IAfter the first squad is chosen, those remaining are turned over to the assistant I football coach. The seconds practice on the north field and meet the first team about twice a week in the stadium.

In the opening game of the season, the younger Links shut out the Seward reserves I 13-0.

Temple high was easy for the reserves, being trounced 26-0.

Prior to the first team game at Beatrice, the seconds engaged in a mud-flinging I contest with the Beatrice reserves, being held to a tie on an ultra-soggy field.

In the annual dash between the Lincoln and Central reserves the juvenile Red and Black players set a good example for the first team, taking the long end of a 26-10 count. I

IThe reserves shut out the senior team 7-0, but later on in the season, the seniors I avenged their defeat by beating the seconds 7-2. Had it not been for a second team man being caught clipping, the reserves would have been victorious, as De Vore, tackle, recovered a fumble and raced to a touchdown, only to be called back to the spOt -;,f the foul. I

This defeat by the seniors was the only set-back the reserves received. DD '

IWhen Coach Browne issued the first call for ba ketball players, four first team v'eterans responded, along with seven letter men from the second team and many new men.

In the first tussle of the season , the Links trimmed Clay Center on the Whittier court 32-9. Captain Dutch Witte showed that he had his basket eye by sinking eight counter from the floor and making one free throw. Fisher was next in line with three field goals. The Red and Black defen e was working well, and not a

player on the Clay Center team made more than one field goaL

The Links were shown a real battle in the next game, emerging victorious only after being hard pressed by Omaha Tech, 1925 champions. The count was 16-12.

The game wa a nip and tuck affair all the way, the count being knotted at 8-all at the half. The Links were ahead, 13-8, at the end of the third quarter, but a

basket by -;- elson, Omaha ace, and free throws by To~asket and Milhollin brought the Omaha sum to 12. Witte and Sawyer added free throws, and put the game on ice. Witte was high for Lincoln with nine points, while elson, Omaha forward, accounted for seven.

The Links hit the road, and stopped in at Crete long enough to thrash Pop Klein ' s men, 32-14. The Lincoln team displayed a superlative brand of team work. Fisher connected with six goals from the floor and two free throw for points, while Witte sank five from the floor. Best, of Crete, accounted for ten points.

Next in line came Beatrice, who put up a fair brand of playing but were unable

to locate the hoop , and lacked a defense. Witte and Fisher were again high scorers for the Red and Black, Fisher making fourteen points, and Witte eight. Scooggins was the best Beatrice bet, making six points. Speidell and Koster showed up well in the Links defensive work. Koster also sank three counters from the court.

The Link hung up their fifth consecutive win when they defeated the University Place five by a count of 22-7. The Red and Black defense showed up unusually well, and prevented the Methodists from registering a field goal. Witte and Fisher did all the scoring, Witte making twelve of the Links total, and Fisher the remaining

ten.

A team from Fort Dodge, Iowa. was the next in line to go down in defeat, 3 I-IO. The Hawkeye state five were rather slow in going down the floor, and Witte and Morrison found it easy to sift through the Iowans' defense. Koster and Speidell kept the Dodgers' field goals so few and far between that only three

were registered. Witte was high pointer with eleven counters, and Morrison was

next with eight. Johnston and Furrow were best for Fort Dodge, each making four points

Creighton Prep dropped a tough skirmish to Coach Browne's basketeers, after

putting up a stubborn fight, and showing good stuff. Lincoln was in front 12-1 I

at the half, but the young Blue Jays came back strong in the third quarter, and the Links were found to be on the short end of a 19- 17 count with one quarter leflt:.

IIIIIIWitte then sank one , and Fisher followed with an under-basket hot. The Prepsters were held to three points in the final stanza. Witte and Fisher were high for Lincoln ,

while Strawhecker and McGargill looked good for Prep. Fat Buechner played guard I in his first game of the season.

Grand Island was fairly easy , and Lincoln counted its eighth consecutive victor y of the season. Saw yer was high-point man for the home tribe , with even po ints. Witte and Fisher tied for second place with five each. Morris was best for Grand

Island , with five markers.

Lincoln took the St. Joe, Mis souri , quintet into camp twice in as man y nights. The first game was all Lincoln , the final tabulation being 23-15. Lincoln was trailing the Saints, 8-ro at the half, but the halo-bearers were left far in the rear when

Witte and Sawyer g ot into action in the remainmg half.

The Show-me boys came back the next night, determined to take at least half of the bacon , but the fighting Lincolnites again emerged victorious , 19-17. The last fight was more an up-hill battle than the first , but the Links made the counter s

when nece sar y, and forced the Blue and White to long shots. Karnes , substituting

for Fisher , tipped in the Link s' final counter of the evening, which put the Red and Black ahe a d by two points. Witte was hot in both encounters , being high for Lincoln on both nights. George and Beatty scored most of the St. Joe counters.

After taking eleven consecutive games , the Links fell before the Omaha Tech

fi v e , 20-18 , in an extra-period affair , before a crowd of 2500 fans, in one of the

fastest games of the season. Lincoln started out in a business-like manner , and was in front 13-8 at the half , and still clinging to a 16-13 advantage at the close of the third quarter. el on , Tech's right forward, then took it upon himself to get hot , and before cooling off, scored twice from the court , and once from the foul line. The score was 18-all, when the final gun barked. In the extra period the Red a nd Black were unable to count, while the Techsters teamed the ball down the

IIIIIlr court, and Huston sank the winning goal. Sawyer counted nine points and was high for the Capital_five, while Witte's floor work featured. Captain elson counted

nine •for Omaha.

'nisplaying unusual strength, ·and pulling the unexpected, Omaha Central forced Lincoln to go an extra period before succumbing, I 9-1 7. Central was ahead at the half, 13-8, but the Links came back and staged a rally in the remaining half, tying the

score at 14-all. Lincoln appeared tired from the battle at Tech on the previous

night, which also went an extra period. The most brilliant play in the game came in the extra period when Captain Dutch Witte dribbled through the entire Omaha team, and counted from under basket, to win the game. The Dutchman was the highest individual scorer of the evening, counting eight points. Sawyer of Lincoln and Glodc

of Omaha made five points. '

Lincoln got an even split while in Kansas City, defeating Kansas City Central, 19-18, and falling before the fast Westport team, 20-19.

In the Central contest, the game was closely fought throughout, be:ng knotted

at 8-all at the half. Witte was the outstanding player of the evening, counting

IIII thirteen of the Links' nineteen points. It was Dutch's field goal and free throw in the closing minutes of the game that turned the tide of the battle toward the Red and Black.

In the Westport game, the Links started out in a fine manner, be:ng ahead 8-1

at the end of the first half. At the beginning of the second half the W estporters

caught their stride, and things began to hum. The Links battled on fairly easy terms in the third canto, but saw their lead diminish, and finally were tied at 19-all. Ken- nedy tossed in the free throw which decided the battle. Witte was marked, and was held down to one field goal by Waldorf. Fisher of Lincoln and Wingate of West- ! port tied for scoring laurels with six points apiece.

IIIIIn the most hotly contested game of the season, Lincoln was handed its third taste of defeat by Creighton Prep, after forcing the Jays to play four extra periods. Witte's basket shooting put the Links in the lead, 12-6, as the half ended, but Coach

Drennan's men came back in a whirlwind of offensive tactics, and slowly cut down the

Links lead. With one minute to play, the score 14-12 in favor of Lincoln, Straw- hecker flipped in a field goal, and sank a gift shot to put the Jays one point to the good. Sawyer tossed in a free throw to tie the score. In the first extra period Fisher sank one for the Red and Black, but Strawhecker counted in the same manner for

the Omahans. either side scored in the second and third periods , but in the final

extra period, Fisher was caught fouling, and Strawhecker sank both attempts. The game was one of the longest played in ebraska in several years. Witte and Straw- hecker were high point men, making eleven and nine points respectively.

The Red and Black cagesters ran wild on the Fremont court in view of two

thousand spectators. Witte was in fine fettle, sinking eleven field goals, and two free throws for twenty-four points, enough to win any regular game. Sawyer also made more than enough to beat the Fremonters, in the form of eight field goals and two free throws for eighteen points. Captain Gray, Fremont forward, was

highest scorer for the home team , with six points. The Links accounted for their

highest score of the season, by beating the Fremonters by forty points.

In a rather slow game played on Whittier court, Lincoln beat Hastings, 26-19. Lincoln, although never far in the lead, wa ahead most of the way, the score I being 7-2, 15-6, and 25-14 in the first three cantos. Witte was the main cog in the

IIIIILincoln offense, scoring sixteen of his team's twenty-six points. Fisher also looked • good, getting the tip-off the greater part of the game, and scoring four points. Koster and Buechner were the mainstays in the Links defense. Wilson, forward, scored eleven of Hastings' nineteen points. Kimball was promoted to the first team in this game, after playing with the seconds the first of the season. Diddie was used at center, ~~nd scored once from the floor.

ICoach Knapple's Omaha team handed the Brownies their fourth defeat on the home floor, and avenged the defeat handed them earlier in the season by the Links.

The game was fast and bitterly contested, but the Links were in front the first

three quarters. In the fourth canto, Lepecier and Cheek brought the Omahans' total to 17 by the field goals. Hamilton made good a free throw, which put Omaha in the lead for the remainder of the game. A moment later Lepecier flipped one in from the sidelines, and scored the Centralites last counters. Witte ended the Links

IIscoring with two free throws, whic;;h brought the count to 20-19, all Omaha. Witte

. played his usual stellar offensive game and Fisher was good on both defense and offense. Cheek, Omaha center, was high for the visitors, with eight points.

IIIIITOURNAME I T

The sixteenth annual basketball tourney \Vas held in Lincoln, March I 1-12-13. The '26 tournament was the largest ever held, ·with three hundred and forty-one teams competing, and three thousand athletes rn action.

In the first game of the tourney, Nebraska City succeeded in throwing quite , a scare into the Lincolnites' camp, but went down to a 24-14 defeat. After being held to a scant 10-8 lead at half-time, the Brownies came back strong, scoring 14 counters, and one free throw. Hardick made ten points for the losers. Fisher's floor work was brilliant.

The Links were next paired with West Point, and after having things much their own way the entire game, drubbed the Pointers 28-13. Although Witte played

in only part of the game, he showed good floor work while in action. Fisher was

outstanding on offensive, while Buechner and Koster looked good on the defense. Bauman worked well for West Point.

Brownie's agate flippers met little opposition in the semifinals against York. The Red and Black defense worked superbly, and the offense rolled up fourteen

counters, while York tallied three. Voyles was the only York man to score from

the floor. Witte made six counters, Fisher and Sawyer being next in line, with four each. Koster and Buechner worked well at the guard position.

The ancient rivals, Omaha Tech and Lincoln, who also met in the finals of

III'25, were again paired to play for class A championship. Drummond's Techsters, I displaying a smooth-working offense and an impenetrable defense, repeated their victory of '25, downing the Links 17-14, in the presence of eight thousand fans at the university field house.

There seemed to be five missing Links in the first half. The Brownies, playing

rather slow ball, were trailing 8-3 at half time. Coming back and sinking longs I from every angle, the Links soon ran the count up to 13-12, Tech. Huston then scored from under basket, and although Witte again scored from mid-court, Prerost was set up under the basket, and iced away the game. Witte and Huston both made seven counters. Koster and Kimball looked good for the defeated; and Joe Prerost, Omaha guard, played a fine game.

Coach Gautsch turned out a strong second team, the would-be varsCty boys chalk-

ing up eleven victories in twelve games. The squad also furnished two basketeers for I the first team: Kimball, center, and Suter, forward. Both men lettered on the first team.

The Red and Black juveniles opened the season at Crete, and celebrated by

trouncing the Crete seconds, 23-15. The first game played at Lincoln, against I Temple high, was also copped by Gautsch's youngs ters , 24-8.

The seconds then walked over the second team boiler manufacturers at Havelock, 20-7.

The Tabernacle Christian five, considering themselves in a fortunate streak, I scheduled a game with the galloping seconds, and went down to a 28-1 l defeat.

Crete, playing a return game on the Lincoln floor, was whipped 23-6.

The Seward Se~inary five went down to defeat with the short en:i of a 23-20

score.

Temple high again tried its luck against the seconds, but the crimson careeners had the winning bee in their bonnet, and took the measure of Temple, 16-4.

Ivan C. Overman secured a gang to give the reserves opposition in the eighth I game of the season. When the game ended, the markers were 20-16, reserves.

The yo unger Links again took the Havelock tinsmiths into camp 16-6.

The Harvard team was the tenth to go down in defeat before the loping Links. The reserves counted 23 to the opponents' 14 points

ISwimming

The review of the past season of the Lincoln high school swimming team is rather short, although the Red and Black water bugs have had a good record an:l a

complete schedule. The team, under the supervision of Foster Matchett and the I captaincy of Robert Ross, had some rather hard luck in getting into full swing, becau e of the loss of some of the best swimmers who ever plashed water for the Red and Black:. i\t that, it has been recognized in state swimming circles as a formid-

1 able foe for any aspirant for title honors. I

In the first meet of the year, Omaha Tech managed to creep away from the Links for a 36 to 32 victory, but the Red and Black won the next fracas with Omaha Central by a score of 29 to 39. The following meet w::is another dual affair between

I Lincoln and the Tech ters in the latter's pool, and the rivals again humbled the

ILincolnites to the tune of 40 to 28. The last dual meet was staged in the home tank between Omaha South and our own boys, and the Links delivered an ea y 48 to 22 win.

In the big state meet held in Omaha in March, the Links were able to cop a

I third place only, losing out to Tech and Central, and receiving a core of 13

II points.

At a recent meeting of the members of the team, Joe pangler was unanimously elected captain of the 1927 spla hers; and with him and a few other men like him, Coach Matchett ought to be able to develop a winning squad next year.

The members of the squad who receive letters this year are: Captain Bob Ross, I captain-elect Joe Spangler, ex-captain Gregg Waldo, Edward Tuma, Glover Ross, Blair Martin, Bill Ungles, Porter Cannon, David Whitworth, Robert Duncan, John Keriakedes, Wesley Mays, and Charle Dowling.

The members of the team who will be back next year are Captain-elect Spang- I ler, Mays, Whitworth, Cannon, Ferguson, Tuma, Wilson, Keriakedes, Teten, Turner, Duncan, Krumrei, and possibly Rollin Hickman. DO

With seventy-five men turning o::::. ~oach Floyd H. Gautsch found plenty I

of material for a fleet track squad. The squad worked out practically every night , I an:! as a result of their hard work and efficient coaching, a par-standard Lincoln track te am was turned out.

About two hundred girls reported for ba ketb a ll , enough to furnish material at

the end of the season for two teams for each clas s except the freshmen. Miss Gates chose the senior and junior teams and Mi ss Store y the sophomore and freshmen teams , basing their choice on the seasonal records of core and fouls made b y each

individual.

The tournament was played the week of March 22. In the first round , played Monday, March 22 , the junior fir t team was matched against the sophomore firsts, the senior seconds against the sophomore seconds , and the junior seconds against the

freshmen. The crack senior first team was held in reserve for the finals. The sopho-

mores and freshmen won this round , the sophomore firsts overcoming their opponents by a score of 20-18, the seconds winning by a score of 16-6; the freshmen nosed out the junior seconds 6-4.

In the econd round, played Tuesday, March 23 , the defeated senior seconds

were matched against the defeated junior seconds, and the victorious sophomore

IIII seconds against the freshmen. For want of an opponent the junior firsts were eliminated. Once more the sophomores were victorious, this time by the decisive score of 28-8. The juniors scored their only victory of the tournament in this conso-

1 lation game, defeating the seniors 10-4. I

In the finals on Thursday the sophomore firsts were pitted against the senior firsts, which so far had not taken part in the tournament. The sophomore forwards, Eleanor Larson and aida McLaren, proved too much for the senior guards. Together they made thirteen baskets and one free throw. Hilda Parker, with six bas! kets to her credit , was the main senior cog. The seniors were humbled 16-27 by the I sophomores, the winners of the I 926 basketb a ll tournament.

When cold weather prevented outdoor pla y ing, the girls trudged up to room I 226 to hear chalk-talks , in which Miss Storey, the coach, explairied fine points of I the game.

The final interclass tournament was played in the week of ovember 30 to December 7. The juniors, captained b y orma Kno x, defeated Eloise Spencer's I senior team in a hard game, by a score of + to o. This victory was due mainly to I the strong forward and half-back lines of the juniors.

Miss Gates chose four class teams from the seventy-eight girls who reported for

hockey last fall. A senior _ second team was organized; but not enough girls came out to make a team for the freshmen.

IThe day of the tournament, December I, the seniors, under Jean Livringhouse, I avenged themselves for their soccer defeat by beating the juniors 6 to o. December 3 the seniors won from the senior seconds, 3 to o; and, on December 7, they also emerged triumphant from a game with the sophomores, with three points to the

other team's two. This series of victories gave the twenty-sixers the championship.

The hockey-soccer banquet, held December 7 in the cafeteria , was enlivened by toasts and speeches. Later in the evening, stunts were performed in the girls gymnasmm.

Dancing

The dancing classes, under the direction of Miss Lois E. Pedersen, had during the

IIIfirst semester a membership of one hundred and sixty -fi ve girls, of whom one hundred I received credit. In both semesters one advanced and three beginning classes were formed. During the second semester, when the classes met in 330, folk, balloon, and pantomime dances were taught. After school the corridors were often enlivened by

the costumes and the bright balloons of the girls who were hurrying to dancing

class.

The advanced classes were represented in joy night by an act called "A World Festival," presenting folk dances of many nations.

The accompanist for all the dancing classes was Miss Hazel O'Connor.

IITrack

Track called out seventy-five enthusiastic girls who showed their mettle after weeks of steady practice in the meet held May 22, 1925. Gladys Callendar, a senior, marked off one hundred seventy-two feet in the baseball throw and seventyfour feet with the basketball. Elizabeth Raugh, a junior, laid out a new running broad jump record for girls when she sailed fourteen feet. Biz also has to her credit a four-feet high jump. The forty-yard dash, won by Eloise Spencer, added another count for the seniors.

Gladys Callendar was high-point girl, with Elizabeth Raugh and Magdalene Lebsack close beh'nd in second and third place respectively. ·II -158-

Swimming

Swimming has developed into one of the most important and popular of the

IIIafter-school sports for girls; Miss Gates was obliged to have five ass:stants: Janice

Ducker, Dorothy Luchsinger, Blanche McClellan, Mildred McWilliams, and Ruth Diamond. The classes were divided into three groups: beginning, intermediate, and advanced.

A high spot m the sw1mmmg schedule was the individual meet. The events were a one-hundred -yard dash, strokes for form, plunge for distance, and ~lain and second, with seventeen points; and Ruth Diamond, third, with sixteen points.

In last years swimm:ng meet freshmen, sophomores, and juniors were represented.

The final battle between the semors and freshmen was fought May 28. At

the end of the first inning the freshmen led 3 to 1: At the third they were ahead, 10 to 5. In spite of the seniors' attempts to even the scoring, the freshmen covered themselves with glory by winning 17 to IO.

Ya know I c.an't make heads or tails of this game they call football. It's a sort I of a hand-to -hand, fight them boys pull off in front of a mad crowd t hat yells its fool head off . My boy (he's the brigh t est boy in the whole school) says he's on the football team, and told me to come to the city and watch him do his stuff. Well, I went to town last Saturday to that place they call the staydium to I watch him. I had to buy a ticket that set me back two bucks to see my own kid

play! It seemed like it would be just as easy to climb over the fence without getting held up at the gate. But it's all right, because them city folks bought tickets, and so to ·show them that they ain't no better than me, I bought one too. o city folks I can get ahead of me. I'll tell them that.

I was just going to say that if that dirt field was iron, many a head would be bust before the game was over. A little bunch of them kept coming on to the field and got down to get a nice position, and then ran a little ways. I wonder

I what's the idea? I noticed t he one in the center had a ball he would throw back I to another before he shot forward himself. I gues this must be practice. The rest of the blue-shirts sat on some benches at the side of the field. I asked the man next to me why they wasn't on the field, and he told me that they was just subs. I guess they keep them there so that t hey can get into the game in case one is killed. Well, ya know, pretty soon another gang came out on the field. They wore the loudest red jerseys I ever did see! They went through the same actions that the others did. l\lly Johnny was one of them that was "warming up," as them boys call it. Just before each run he would yell some numbers ,at the top of his lungs. I guess he told the others what to do; tha t ' how bright my Johnny is.

First I borrowed four sheets of carbon paper, the stickie t, dirtiest, most flypapery stuff I ever handled. B ut it lvorked excedingly well-'---every mistake I made was neatly and accurately reproduced And, oh dear, what mistakes! Instead of shifting gears so that figures would be wri t t~n, I did something t o t he inner mechanism t'.1at produced capitals, so that "1926" turned out to be "QOWY . "

TYPES OF HANDSHAKES

As a man shakes hands, so is he not.

When I meet a man that is small of stature, I expect a rather gentle handshake. But no! That man nearly shakes my arm off. He seems to think he is pumping water for the family washing. If I meet a large man, I always look for a vigorous

handshaking. I am usually disappointed: he shake s my hand daintily, as if it were

fragile and likely to break if handled roughly. I always expect a small, pudgy man just to take my hand and then drop it, for fear of exerting himself. But again my expectation is deceived. He hakes and shakes and shakes -and shakes He seems to I believe that if he should stop shaking my hand, I would run away. He is not mis-

taken The tall, thin man invariably gives my hand a short, quick, clammy squeeze. If I have on rings, they are nearly bent flat, and my hand is left a mass of mangled pulp. I The handclasp that I really like is a firm grasp that is not of the pump-handle I tyle nor a squeeze that ruins my hand for life.

I saw this quilt the other day,

A patchwork quilt of colors ga y, Made by an old great-aunt of mineShe started it when she was nine. What were her thoughts , her hopes , her dream , I As she sewed and stitched the long , long seams?

IThe quilt was for her own hope chest. I wondered whom she loved the best.

Alas-the sequel to this affair,

It's sad indeed-but oh! it's rare. I found the quilt up in the attic And really thought it quite romantic. Downstairs in haste the quilt I carriedAnd-horrors !-learned she'd never married.
