MILLARD
WILL FRENCH
Our principal, whose fairness _ and kindly leadership have won the confidence of all the students , will add to his present duties next year those of assistant superintendent of schools in charge of curricula.
Ol ivia M . Pound
To tfiss Olivia Pound, who has served Lincoln high since 1900, credit is due for a great deal of the completeness of organization of the admini trative work of the chool and particularly the place given to girls and their interests in the school program and activities. In her position as as istant principal and vocational advi er for girls, he has instituted a great deal of that which the girls find interesting and profitable in high school life. he has always taken an active intere t in student affairs, gladly supporting the students in movements for improving the school. The founding of the G. A. A. and the present success of the all girls league may well be attributed to her. Mi s Pound is indeed a loyal, faithful friend to the students, using her insight and willingnes to help them. Any girl asking Mi s Pound for advice can be certain that she will receive both sympathy arid aid.
Pau l N . Campbe ll
In his two years as as istant principal of Lincoln high school, Mr. Campbell has won the sincere admiration of both students and teachers through his understanding of their needs, his sympathetic encouragemen t , and his sound and timely advice. His special province is with the boys and he takes a keen interest in their activities as well as those of the school in general. He has been particularly interested in the development and extension of the program of extra -curricular activities. His interest in individuals, particularly those who need personal guidance and sympathy, is exemplified in the system he introduced this year of a regular and frequen t check of the progress of boys who have difficulty in their work and of keeping in close personal touch with them. Thus he has helped many boys to improve their scholarship.

C l ass History
" 'My country 'ti of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee we sing.'"
The e word which have stirred men's hearts since the birth of our nation. swelled from the throats of ome four hundred earnest freshmen who were receiving their initiation to Lincoln high school at the gracious hands, of the student council. And yet, the tune might well, or even better, have been The Wearin' o' the Green. For, although these incoming students haughtily declined to take the elevator to room -+24, and warily refu ed to buy a ticket to the junior assembly, they were as gullible as the average "freshie".
Having entered in the fall of '23 with a desire to become definitely a vi tal part of the high school organization, these scorned and badgered freshmen absorbed knowledge with avidity, took an active interest in sports and debate, and contributed freelv and willingly to the plays presented by the superior upperclassmen. And lo! bv dint of uncea ing effort, the newcomers had ga:ned a place of recognition among their immediate superiors, the second semester freshmen, and even from the covertly friendly sophomores.
During the first emester the business of becoming acquainted with new surrounding and a new regime had so occupied the freshmen that class elections had not yet taken place. However, the delay is pardonable, for the final choice was faultless. Jean Towne became president; Josephine Orr, vice -pre sident; Herbert Gooch, secretary; John Ames, treasurer; Frank Roehl, editor; and Don Dougal , sergeant-at-arms.
As fully accredited sophomores, knowing, sedate and condescending, the class of 1927 came into its own. In the student council, Jean Towne and Robert Chamberlain represented the sophomore interests. To guide them over the rough places in the first semester, the class chose Josephine Orr. Frank Roehl was the pilot who steered the sophomore through the deeps during the second half of the year. In this year, or to be specific, on Friday, ovember 26, 192..J., the sophomore party was held in the girls gymnasium. The class sponsors, Miss Annetta Sprung and Miss Alma G. Swanson, were present.
The sophomore assembly, presented during the administration of Frank Roehl. utilized some of the best talent of the class, and was so excellent that neither the arrogant juniors nor the seasoned seniors could make any derogatory comments.
At this time the i sue of child labor became a common subject on every tongue and, always ready to take up the cudgel in defense of right, the ophomore negative debate team composed of Arthur Bukin, Wilma Benjamin and John Ames met and by a unanimous decision of the judges defeated the junior squad. This noble victory has gone down in the archives of class history and will remain a tribute to the prowess of the class of '27.
\Vhen the modest "sophies" became important juniors, free from the bonds of restraint impo ed by their early inexperience, they elected Laurence Tyler, afterwards -18-
president of the student council, as leader of the class for the first semester and Wen dell Groth for the second half of the year.
Under the skillful guidance of these officers, this enterprising class found its third year crowded with interesting meetings and parties, one of them a masquerade; the junior-senior part y , an occasion when complete friend ship ex isted between the ri v al classes; a tiptop assembly , and the junior play. This spi r ited comed y from the pen of Peter B. Kyne, Cappy Ricks , was played by an excellent cast. It was coached to perfection , and was acclaimed one of the best plays ever produced on the high school stage. From the proceeds the juniors gave fifteen dollars to the wall fund.
Olympics! Though the juniors contributed their share of noise and muscle to the fray, they downed their colors to the seniors ·who won the olympics.
And then , the climax! The month of September besides bringing with . it such tri v ial matters as state fair, record-breaking rainfall for Linc oln and v icinity, and the inability of France to pay her war debt , ushered in the senior class of 1q27. So , all hail to the seniors , the glorious seniors , seniors in all their might , seniors who en jo y ed the meekness of the ignorant freshmen , held in check the enthusiastic sophomores, and snubbed the ambitious efforts of the juniors! The first social activit y of these mature seniors was a part y held in the girls gymnasium on the evening of December 3, 1926. An orchestra furnished first class music and, to the delight of all present, refreshments were served. But the main feature was the absolutely non-fake fortune telling by Miss Louise Miller.
On senior color da y ever y member of the class came before the school in a iocke y cap of orange and \-vhite , with a fetching little bow tie to match. The seniors, it i whispered, enjoyed to the unmost the stir of awe and envy which greeted them in ever y class. In the assembly given in the morning, the seniors were led across the stage by George Koster , president of the class. The audience remained standing while the seniors sang their songs to the tunes of The Sweetheart Chorus from The Chocolate Soldier and High-Ho the Merry 0. The class colors were predominant in decorations and costuming for the program, which consisted of a dance bv Anita Johnston and Hazel 1V1eier, songs by girls quartet , and a one-act play, Wisdom Teeth.
So This Is London, the senior pla y presented on Friday and Saturday, December r 6 and r 7, is a comedy written by George M. Cohen. It deals with the false conceptions that the English and Americans have of each other. The final reconciliation of the two families involved is brought about by the fact that America and God Save the King are sung to the same tune.
On January 2 I , I 92 7 , one hundred and fifty members of the senior class received the highest award for consistent scholarship which Lincoln high school can bestow when they were given their diplomas of graduation. Dr. Walter Aitken delivered the senior sermon, and Cora Knott and Frank Roehl were senior speakers.
In an effort to bridge the gap made hy the graduation of these valuable members of their flock , the rest of the class chose Robert Danielson for their president, and performed wonderfully during the last eventful semester. Among other feats, the y won the basketball championship almost single handed!
Came the end, as the movies have it. We are leaving the Eden of our schoolda y s. But we shall be unafraid, for friendship and opportunity await us, and "the world is all before us, where to choose." -1 9-
Senior Sponsors
During the four years from 1923 to 1927 our sponsors have patiently listened to our plan and generously helped u to realize our ideals.
The projects of our many students and our variou organization have been developed under their direction and with their help.
For their guidance and their sympathy we are very grateful.
-CLASS OF 1927
Wherever chance or duty leads from here, If to a rocky road or hady lane , Be sure that we will go with conscience clear
The work to shape our minds was not in vain.
An au revoir and not adieu we'll give
To those who e patience guided us thu far. Farewell to Lincoln High School, may it live Forever guiding tudents like a star.

Student Council
Among the new pro_iect undertaken by the student council during the fall e1:1e ter was a revi ion of the point ystem, re tricting extra-curricular activitie Jo ephrne Orr wa chairman of the committee. To pre ent the new y tern to the tudent , it was u ed a the ubject of two debates held in the a embly. A cop of it wa given to each tudent. Interest wa arou ed until it wa the chief topic of conver ation in the halls. Lke many innovations it met opposition and \Va defeated. The point-system revi ion committee energetically set to work during the second - emester to prepare a better system. Thi group, one of 'the most active in the council, wa. made up of everal council members and several members of the student body not in the council.
A plan for awarding the cheer leader emblems wa effected bv a committee of which Ruth Diamond wa chairman. The emblem selected are made of black and red felt. The black letter , L. H. ., are ewed on a red megaphone which serve as a background.
The decoration of the cafeteria with banners and pennants, trophie and embl ems of former years which had not before been adequately di played, was also the work of the first emester council. Ruth Hatfield was chairman of the committee.
Work which had been carried on during previou eme ter was continued. The locker guards were upervised bv Mildred Dole and Robert Danielson. The matinee parties were under the directio~ of Jean Towne. Arthur Perry wa in charge of the hall guide The decoration of the oval for the football games wa arranged for by a council committee with Arthur Danielson as chairman.
The rallies held in a sembly before and after the Toledo game and at the station brought much praise to the council members in charge. Robert Danielson was chairman of the committee.
Gordon A) er was chairman of the courtesy committee which provided cars for vi iting athletic team as well as for the Lincoln team.
The student council assembly wa under the direction of Mildred Dole, chairman of the committee.
The decoration of the school for the Christmas season was an innovation in which the committee chairman, Harriett ewens, was helped by the home room representatives. A wreath at least in every class room and even a Yule tree in some brought the spirit of Christmas cheer into the school.
To a large extent the work of the first semester, such a management of hall guides, locker guard , point-system revi :on, and matinee parties wa continued in the second.
Three new council members, Edna Eddy, Lucile Ledwith, and Robert Chamberlain, were elected to fill the vacancie made by the graduation in mid-year of Harriett rewens and Harry Reed, and the resignation of Josephine Orr when he became editor of the LINKS.
On February I 1, Mr. and Mrs. Will French entertained the council in their home.
The annual joy night was conducted by the council cooperating with the faculty and the tudents. Laurence Tyler wa the bu iness manager, working with Mr. Hackman, and Ruth Hatfield wa advertising manager, working with Mr. Kane. Laurence also was editor of the paper, The Toreador> sold during joy night. Gordon Ayer was chairman of the joy night assembly.
After an interregnum of six weeks in which Mr. French erved a temporary adviser of the student council following the resignation of Mi s S. Adelia Winter to become principal of the Bancroft school, Mis Eli abeth Wittmann was appointed. The uccess of the council during the year was largely due to the ympathetic help of Miss Wittmann. -76-

Council of the All Girls League
Activities of the all girls council range from everyday care of lost and found articles and the loan fund to participation in the most important events of the school year. Decoration of the high school Armistice Day float was one of the accomplishments of the first eme ter. The girls made scarlet crepe paper poppies for the Flanders Field float. At the Thanksgiving football game, a stunt between halves represented a battle between Puritans and Indians. It was supervised by Katharine Howard. At Christmas time several needy families were helped by the collection of food and clothing given by the students .

Editorial
To insure the owner' happine in finding all the memorie of hi chief a ociation with Lincoln high chool perpetuated in thi new volume for hi helf, the staff has undertaken to bring into each division herein the desired information and pictures, in an interesting manner.
You will find labels neither of "Made in China" nor of "Made in Germany" on any page of thi book, for all the work ha been done by students of Lincoln high chool who, through the English and fine art department , have been able to present their work. English teachers throughout the year have saved theme , e ays, or bits of verse, worthy to be considered for inclusion in this book, representative of student composition. The greatest help has come from Miss Helen Wilson and her drawing clas es, Miss Gladys Dana and some of her tudents, by whose creative ability all of the exceedingly fine art work has come to be in this book. Work done by members of the staff on their own sections is unsigned.
Of the customary book awards for excellence in contests, one competition was abandoned for another. In lieu of a cover design contest, a copy of the LI Ks was offered as a prize to the artist whose drawing for the division sheet for the senior section was selected. The award was made to Bonnalyn Scott. Elsie Bohlman did the most art work. Four of her drawings were selec ted. Genevieve Damron, selling the most advertising in dollars and cents, was appointed advertising manager and received a book. The sub cription contest wa won by Josephine Orr who sold nearl y seventy books. Edwin Faulkner and Richards Ricketts took second and third places. These three led the LI KS staff to a victory over the salesmanship cla s.
A room for the LI KS office, the first ince 1917, has considerably facilitated the construction of the annual.

Athletic
0 ! the wild and ear- plitting enthusiasm arou ed by a man in a red jer ey with a pigskin tucked neatly under one arm spr"nting toward two white goal post., miraculously dodging this opponent, out-running that, continuing valiantly forward in pite of the heavy weight which has attached itself to one leg, and finally thrown earthward, ruthle sly downed under the weight of three, four, and even six or seven heavy bodies. Con idering the wide appeal of this form of sport and the chances it affords for displaying chool spirit, it was appropriate that the two opening assemblie should be devoted to enli ting the aid of the student body for the football season. Fo ter Matchett and Coach W. Harold Browne outlined 'the schedule. At the second assembly Dr. J. R. Getty poke, and try-outs for cheer leaders were held. Becau e of the late arrival of the chool color , the color day as embly was given over to athletics. Ray Ram ey of the U niver ity of ebraska announced the U nivers1ty Players and Robert Daniel on presented the plan for the Toledo send-off. To celebrate the triumphant homecoming after the Toledo game, a double assembly was held. Coach Browne, Captain Folger and :Mr. lV[atchett spoke. W. W. Curfman, assistant uperintendent, who had al o accompanied the team, showed pictures of the game and of Waite high school. The as embly closed with wild shouts and cheers. Before the encounter with Lane Tech another double a embly was held to give vent to enthusiasm for the game. Mr. Matchett reported the ticket sale, Bill Folger spoke and Max Towle, county attorney, gave some reminiscences of his experiences as a student of Lincoln high, and a a member of the football team. The band played and the assembly closed with the appropriate song Fight, Fight for Lincoln. At the final football assembly Coach Browne reviewed the season and Mr. French pronounced it a credit to Lincoln high school, remarking that the only way to avoid lo ing games is not to play any. Bill Folger introduced captain-elect Claude Austin and seventeen letters were given.
The basketball team al o made a record which brought honors to the school. After a season in which it came out victoriou twenty-four out of twenty-six game , an unprecedented record in the annals of our basketball history, a rally a sembly was held in preparation for the state tournament. Contrary to custom a a means of breaking the jinx, which had kept us from the championship for seven years, the team did not occupy a prominent position on the stage but sat in the audience. Mr. 0. B. Anderson of the Y. M. C. A. related the h'storv of the state tournament. Our victorious team was welcomed in a double as embly the following Monday. Coach Browne praised it work; Captain Fisher presented the school with the trophy given by the university; the other members of the team spoke and l\1r. French announced that Lincoln high school would probably be represented in the national interchola tic basketball tournament to be held at Chicago.
Dramatic
It is the cu tom for the Mummers and the senior and junior classes to give a foretaste of their annual play in assemblie The first assembly of this kind held in the fall was given by the Mummers to advertise their play, Peg O' My Heart. The program consisted of violin elections by Abraham Hill, three Irish readings by Mrs. Ada C. Malcolm, Peg O' } J,1) Heart sung by Virginia George of the class of 1926 and a dance by Martha Funke. The ca t was introduced in a sketch representing the entrance to a rehearsal. At interval Verne Fanton made ridiculous and ineffective attempts to enter. Reinholdt and Victor Wink sang and Reinholdt gave a reading pre umably for the purpose of trying out for the play.
Shortly before Christma vacation the senior class introduced So This is London. After a musical program featuring a string trio consisting of Harriett ewens, cello;
-88-
Ethel Owens, violin; Elaine McBeth, piano, and several vocal duets by La Vone Lind and Ethel Colerick, the audience was permitted to view cenes being taken for filming the senior play. The departure of the American family from the Tew York harbor, the second, the third day out and finally their arrival in London were shown. But unfortunately because of an accident to the camera the filming project had to be given up. The juniors announced The Youngest near the middle of February. ellie Furr gave a group of saxophone solo , Jessamyn Cochran read The Honor of the F amilr, Pauline Linch played several piano election , Howard Van ickle sang, and Dwight Means gave a tap dance. The play was summarized and the cast introduced in verse by Howard Colton.
School Organizations
Some of the most entertaining program are given by school organization ; for the better the assembly, the better the advertisement for the club. The commercial club started the season with a program consisting of a xylophone olo by Milton Beechner, everal numbers by the Canadian players quartet and a speech by George Burt. The writers club ponsored an address by Dr. A. L. Bixby, who ha written the Daily Drift column in the State Journal for more than thirty year Dr. Bixby told of a visit to his childhood home and of the memories it recalled and recited Father's Voice, a poem of his own composition. The student council gave a program entirely for amusement. The Kosmet club quartet sang; two members of that club gave a clog dance; Ray Ramsey entertained; Dorothy Howard gave a violin solo, and l\1rs. Regina Holcolm read. The Orpheons presented a musical program of songs by the trio, Hazel Ieier, Dori Powell and Lulu Jo Hyland; piano solos by Mary Rankin and Ardeth Pierce; a vocal selection by Roger Robinson; several flute numbers by Laurence Tyler and music by the trio, Abraham Hill, violin; Herbert Borgen , clarinet, and Harold Peterson, piano.
Music
The opening assembly was given to announce the Kansas City Little Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Fergu on spoke enthusiastically of their program and played several numbers on the orthophonic phonograph for illustration. The Christmas as emblies well upheld the Lincoln high school tradition. The stage itself, the thirty-two white candles for the thirty-two year of Christ's life, the two fir tree and the illuminated star helped impress the audience with the ignificance of the occasion. Then, too, the program was in entire keeping with the ideals of Christmas. Christmas carols were sung by the glee clubs with Doris Powell and Belva Asbury taking the solo parts, and everyone joined in inging O Come All Ye Faithful, and Silent ight, Holy ight. The Rev. Paul C. John ton spoke on Christmas Spirit. The following day The Jt .f essialz was given by the glee clubs. Earle McMunn, Harriet Crui e Kemmer, Ruth Zimmerman and Lloyd Robinson sang the olo parts. In another mu ical asembly a trio composed of Mr Sarah Sheffield Jones, violinist; Mrs. Mildred Williams Hitte, cellist; Miss Frances Morley , pianist, and the senior girls quartet appeared. The first part of the econd semester Ernest Harrison of the University chool of .l 1usic and H. 0. Ferguson gave a program of clas ic and modern compositions Ir. Ferguson first sang ongs in Italian, French, .l orwegian and Latin and Mr. Harri on gave piano selections from Chopin and Mendelssohn. The second part consisted of modern composition at the close of which Mr. Harrison played, Turkey in the Straw with unu ual variation by Guion. An a embly onsisting of ongs by the glee clubs and Mr. Lillian Polley of the University School of Music came next. During the basketball tournament Mr. Righter introduced a group of senior from -89-
the Edgar high school to the assembly. In trumental olo were given by Gerald Walley, clarinet; :Mary Ha) es, violin; Charles Vorhees, clarinet; Merton Welch, trumpet. There wa al o a clarinet duet.
Lecture- Debate
The lectures at Lincoln high school are not long, boresome, dry , dead essays on what we should or should not do. In fact they are alive, interesting talks. An example of this was the one given by Mrs. Augusta McGuire on art in the concrete; not in the ab tract.
The a emblies to celebrate Armistice Dav and to ob erve education week were combined. Frank Ru ell gave an addre s on the value of an education in later life. Ir. French called the attention of the student to the huge ervice flag with its 360 tars, one for each Lincoln high chool boy who went to the world war and asked us to remember the bronze plaque in the lower hall.
"Lincoln's great uccess was due to the fact that he learned to work", Professor F. M Gregg declared in an illustrated lecture given in memory of Lincoln's birth. In closing, Professor Gregg made this tatement about Abraham Lincoln, "From Kentucky he got his birth, from Illinoi his opportunity and from America his vision."
Thi year only two a emblies have been entirely devoted to debating. A double assembly was held "to rarliate light, not heat" on the point system. The affirmative was upheld by Wendell Groth, Arthur Danielson, Robert Danielson and Laurence Tyler of the tudent council while the opposition was taken by Herbert Borgen , Frederick McFarland, Burton Bridges and Alan Williams. The second, in the form of a play, was presented by the Anti-Saloon league of ebraska.
Color Day- Links
Color day is one of the most democratic occasions on the Lincoln high school calendar. It is an all- chool event, a time to take out one's school loyalty and patrioti m and give them a much needed airing. Everyday school work is forgotten and along with the bright caps and arm bands are brought the brighter ideals of our chool. In the senior a sembly the song, "Seniors we are victorious, we are supreme" upheld the traditions of the might and superiority of the upper classmen Music wa. furnished by the trio consisting of Laurence Tyler, flute; Emanuel Wishnow, violin; and Genevieve Kumpf, piano. Hazel 1eier and Anita John on gave a dance. The comedy, Wisdom Teeth, was given with Ada Mayne as Mis Pearson, Lydia Hill as Miss Hill, Stephen Roberts as Henry Hill and Dorothy Luschinger as the attendant.
To advertise the annual, the Links staff showed a salesman, Burton Bridges, revealing to a prospective buyer, Wendell Groth, the various activities represented in the Links. The idea that this is a year book was shown, for each chool month was characterized by an activity. Among the numbers were a chalk talk by Ted Becker; a sketch, Sound and Fury by 0. Henry, presented by Ada Mayne and Edwin Faulkner and an illustration of the taking of faculty and senior pictures by :Max Funke, Richard Haver tock and Arthur and Robert Danielson.
The assembly given by the industrial arts department was entirely different from the other assemblie held this year. After Mr. Alberty, head of the industrial arts department, had pointed out the courses offered in hi department and John R. Patlow, supervisor of the industrial arts department of the Lincoln city schools, had described the opportunities offered by the schools in this field, the program was turned over to representatives of the Lincoln Telephone Company.

Stagecraft Club
A group of boys had been working on scenery for the plays without much organization. John Wink decided that more could be accomplished if the boys were organized. He laid his plan before Mr. French. The result was the formation of a ne,v club with two main objects: that the plays might be more ably handled with an experienced crew all the time than they could be with a new crew for each play and that the boys who were interested in this work would have more opportunities to learn about matters pertaining to stagecraft if they were given a chance to work on every play. The results have been apparent in high school productions this year. The waits between arts are much shorter and work behind the scenes goes ·off with a quickness and di~patch which would make professionals proud.

The Hi-Y club has an information booth at the state basketball tournament, entertains at a Fathers night, carries on a Find Yourself campaign and many other features every year. Besides acting as a clearing house for boyish enthusiasm and young men's problems, it serves as a training center for gentlemanly conduct and manhood.

H. 0. Fergu on, who has been for ten years supervisor of mu ic, i severing his connection ·with the city chool thi pring. Wh~n he came to Lincoln hioh school in 1916, music was very .canty and undeveloped He has taken it through its formative tages , until now it is a vital factor in the chool life. The number taking subjects in the music department has increased two - thirds since 1916, and appreciation of music has developed greatly. His mu ical entertainment brought out capacity house He established the mid-year concert as an annual event and, produced an opera every pnng. The mu ical club of the chool the Orpheons, was oroanized through hi effort .
The trophy ca e show more proof of his work in Lincoln high chool. He tarted the idea of a state music contest and was largely respon ible for Lincoln's winning the big cup for three succe sive years, a feat which made it the permanent property of the school. In assemblies he taught the student community singing. Many artists have appeared for as emblies and have given pecial concerts for the benefit of the school children. Through his efforts two symphony orchestras have given concert in Lincoln. The ew York Philharmonic gave a pecially-priced concert, as did the Kansa City Little Symphony orche tra, which presented a serie of concerts for two winter in Lincoln.
Mr. Ferguson is highly regarded in the city and has been in con tant demand to help in all sort of community project He has interested many civic club in the problem of getting more mu ic in the schools and in presenting high-class musical entertainments to the public.

Boys Junio r Glee Club
The boys of t he junior glee club together with the girls junior glee club, formed the advanced chorus during the second semester. Their biggest appearance was at joy night when they put on a minstrel show.
M id -Y ea r C oncert
The coldest night of the year failed to keep an appreciative audience away from the tenth annual mid -year concert.
A picked chorus wi t h Miss Helen Stowell as soloist opened the program with the cantata Lore from the Saga of Eric the Red by Bliss. The following numbers, Gloria Patri by Palestrina, and Beautiful Saviour by Christiansen, and Serenade by Arensky, given by the combined glee clubs, approached at times the work of any college or A Capella choir. The girls glee club sang How Sweet the Answer Echo Jifakes by Kriens and Nurser)-' Rhymes by Curran. Afay Eve by Mrs. H. H. A. Beach and Hymn to .,Music by Dudley Buck, sung by the combined glee clubs, ended the vocal half of the program.
The advanced orc;hestra then presented Light Cavalry overture by Suppe, N achtstiick by Schumann and Entr A cte by Herbert. The four movements of Gouno d 's ballet music from Faust would have done credit to a professional orche tra. Two movements of the Don Quixote suite by Sa anek, A Spanish Village and Don Quixote, added an interesting touch to the program and concluded the entertainment.

Advanced Orchestra
Perhaps the best way to judge the value of a school subject is by the use made m later life of the knowledge and skill gained during the course. Ex-members of the advanced orchestra have filled many big positions in the musical world A few are artists, more play in symphony and theater orchestras, and many have gone into teaching, such as public school music supervising and ·directing. Many have expressed their appreciation for the inspiration and practical tra:ning they received while under Mr. Righter.
Advanced orchestra was ch_anged from a two-hour to a five-hour subject at the beginning of the second semester.
"As a result," aid Mr. Righter, "the music can be gone into much more thoroughly for technic and interpretation."
Among the many difficult pieces taken up this year, beside those played at the mid-year concert, were Jl,f erry Wives of Windsor overture by ic~lai, Sigurd losalfar suit e b y Grieg, Tancr ed overture and lf/illiam Tell overture by Rossin i, and Ri e nzi overture by \Vagner.
Frequent public appearances have kept the orchestra unusually busy this year. A small orchestra chosen from this body played for joy night and accompanied the ~U essiah by Handel at Christmas and the opera Robin Hood in the pring. -120-

Band
Is there anything quite o thrilling as gathering for an athletic a sembly while the band i playing Fight Fight for Lincoln ? What great scientist can mea ure how much the mu ic can enliven the crowd and stir up that enthusiasm o e ential to chool spirit?
But the band is not for "ballvhoo" work only. It is a real mu ical organization playing tandard concert ~usic. The greatest development this year has been in the wood wind ection where there are now enough clarinets properly to balance the brass ection.
ext fall when the new Irving junior high school opens, the band there will serve, along with the vVhittier junior high school band, a a preparatory organization for the high chool.

Mooning
To the Moon Lady
I am moony tonight, l\foon Lady, As I gaze at your ilvery face. You are surrounded by clouds, Moon Lady, And fringed by a tarry lace.
Do you ee what happens, l\1oon Lady, In Jupiter, Venus and Mars?
Do you know very much, Moon Lady?
Do you know the ecrets of stars?
Can you see to Valhalla, ,foon Lady?
Do you watch the God at play? Do they eat Ambrosia and ectar, Or cream from the Milky Way?
Do you watch the earth, Moon Lady? And what do you think of the sights? It must seem small, Moon Lady, From your celestial heights. You are far away, 1\lloon Lady, Above the greate t of peaks, The seas must seem tiny, Moon Lady, The rivers-veriest treaks
But what of the people, Moon Lady, With their humdrum woes and cares, Their ignoble toil, their ceaseless strife, Their laughter and their tears?
Do they seem mean, 1oon Lady, Each with his hate and grudge, For surely you know, Moon Lady, And who could better judge?
You are up in the heavens, Moon Lady, Suspended over u all, A hining enigma, Moon Lady, A glorious, glowing ball, And balls can't talk, '.loon Lady, So neither can moons, I fear.
But we can talk, Moon Lady, "\,Vhen there' only me to hear. And you will tell me your secrets, In the light of your own bright lure, (A cloud is coming, Moon Lady, Your countenance soon to obscure.) But now it i late, Moon Lady, And mortals must sleep you know o you must follow your glittering path, And back to earth I'll go.
But remember this, l\1oon Lady, Again ,vhen you're hining bright, I'll come once more, l\1oon Lady, And we'll talk away the night.

Sunrise in the Mountains
The first time I ever felt the maje ty of the mountain wa when I climbed Long' Peak. Since five o'clock that morning we had been laboring up teep lope , clambering over huge boulder , and fording icy mountain treams.
As ,n came around a curve in the trail my heart sank. In front of me loomed an almo t perpendicular slope, covered with immense rocks, the topmo t of which formed a huge opening shaped like a key-hole. Wa it worth it? Could I make it? The e and imilar question urged through my mind a I gazed hopeles ly up that steep slope. "Well, there's nothing like trying," I commented to my companion who had ascended this ame place twice before and con idered himself quite a mountain climber. "\Vith thi bit of philosophy in mind, I "screwed my courage to the ticking point" and began the climb. I puffed, groaned and stumbled along until finally 1 gained the summit.
From there the whole world eemed vi ible. Range after range of rugged snowcapped mountains, deep ice-filled canyon and gorges, huge lake and green valleys pread out in a never-ending panorama. Far behind the mountain I could see what seemed to be greeni h-gray clouds with occasional mirror-like spot in them, which my friend explained were plains dotted with lakes. To my right was a deep, cavernous gorge. At the top of this canyon lay a large iceberg-coated lake, who e outlet leaped and roared over rock and crags down the mountain side. Although I was at a considerable distance from the waterfall, the spray cooled my hot face and enveloped me in a cloud-like mi t. Far to the north in a green valley through which a mountain stream curved and twisted , I saw several moving black specks, which on in pection with field glasses, proved to be a herd of deer. As I gazed at the magnificent pectacle the first rays of the sun tipped the highest peaks, transforming them from crags of rock and tone to a glowing glory of fast-changing colors. The higher the sun rose behind the intervening mountains, the lower the color crept and the more magnificent the scene became. The waterfall was a if by magic changed to a sparkling, wift-moving rainbow, plunging do-wn into a rosy sea of spray. Finally the cene reached its cro\vning glory when the rays had bathed all the higher mountains in the e beautiful colors and they, in turn, were reflected in the many lakes. The sun ro e majestically. All in a moment the rosy colors changed to a dazzling gold, and the fairyland faded again into mountains, gorges, and valleys, fa with the early morning sun.

A Winter Night
Glimmering on the gla y frozen lake Cold and yellow, lay the pale moonlight, "\Vhile far remote and distantly Like tudded diamond gleamed the stars. The crisp west wind blew fitfully Acros the coldly shimmering lake, , While through the branches of the trees The wind harmonious lullabies did croon. A di tant tower clock chimed sweet and low One, two, three, and all was calm and till.

The Serenade
Genevieve sat up with a thrilled creepiness rippling along her spine for beneath her white-curtained window a guitar and a pleasant, mellow voice blended in the old ong:
"Genevieve, I'd give the world To live again the bli sful past."
Genevieve hugged her knees to her chin and thought hard, trying to place this particular voice, but with feminine inconsistency neglecting to look out the window to make sure.
aturally as a visiting girl in a small Kentucky town, she was very popular and even to herself she had to admit that she was not bad looking. Black, shining hair; long, curling eyelashes that started out pure gold and ended up jet black; deep blue eye s and a peaches-and-cream complexion all combined to make her an undoubtedly comely young lady.
Sam Hersch? Oh, no! ot he! He thought serenading was silfy and ridiculed the serenader. His idea of an enjoyable evening was to get a girl into a corner and give her a detailed monologue of his day at the office, and of how he took cold baths night and morning. Paul Early? Well, perhaps. He was unusually shy and perhaps this was the only way in which he could express himself. Yet she did not know that he played the guitar and it did not sound like his voice. Leonard Oliver? Again, perhaps. He was the Beau Brummel o-f the town and gloried in the knowledge of the fact. He was very romantic, a wonderful dancer, and a perfect courier on canoe trips, but she doubted whether he would lose his beauty sleep, even for her.
Or maybe-? Her heart gave a leap as the thought flashed upon her that perhaps it was that new barber at the town's only barber hop. He had looked at her so wistfully the last time she was there. And he wa so romantic looking with his flashing teeth and Rudolph Valentinoesque smile, with perhaps a dash of Torn 1ix and Richard Barthelrness.
Her cousin, Angela Trent, aroused by the music, came m ·with her hair down her back and inquired, "Who is it?"
"I don't know," was the reply. "I haven't looked out yet." Hovvever, Genevieve had finally fixed on the barber as the serenader, principally because she wanted it so. Angela had a terrible "case"on him, and Genevieve hoped she wouldn't feel too bad about it. A smothered sound came from the window, and Genevieve, looking around, saw Angela on her knees by the window seat, her face buried in the pillows and her shoulders heaving convulsively.
It must be he. Genevieve excitedly made her way to the window, glanced out, and she, too, dropped to the window seat The guitar and voice died away in mellow harmony:
"Genevieve, sweet Genevieve, The days may come, the days may go; But still the hands of rnern'ry weave
The blissful dreams of long ago "
William Brown, colored bootblack of that arne barbershop, tucked his guitar under his arm and made his way homeward, serene in the consciousness that he had serenaded Jenny, the Trent's colored maid.

On Being First to Lun c h
Being fir t to lunch; that golden opportunity offered ev er student within reasonable reach of the line ; that magic urge which in pires the mo t dignified and sedate chool politicians and orators to behave like those whom the y usually corn as freshmen; that curiou pa ion or in s tinct which at the r inging of a commonplace bell , fills the bare corridor with a dim, blur of swift movin g, cla hing, scr a mbling form , the rumble of a tampeding a v alanche tudded here and there with a hrill cry.
How impotent are the ·harp reprimand of the teacher , how unavailing even their restraining arm All oppo ition to the great movement i drowned in the rushing, mercile tide. And woe to the innocent b ystander who indi creetl y a llows himself to be caught in the crushing swirl. E v eryone runs. He mu t, le t he · be overwhelmed.
The strange uncontrollable feeling of restle sness , the scent of the approaching truggle , eize u man y minute before the ringing of the commonplace , yet so ignificant bell. Unable to concentrate , we la y a s ide our work and muscles ten e, teel our sel v e for the coming fra y, and wait , eager , expectant. Time drag unbelievabl y . er v ous , alert , ecurel y br a ced for in tant action , we sit crouched on the v er y edges of our seat
The bell rings. With tense mu cle unstrung we dart out into the halls and begin to fight our wa y tow a rd the lunch line , smashing into and up etting fellow mani a cs and being sma shed into and upset b y other fellow maniacs. Quarter is neither asked nor gi v en. We da sh down the corridors in a manner to ex cite the mo st unemotional football or track coach. We could win a permanent niche in the hall of athletic fame. But a l a s , we can perform such miracles only when inspired and we are never in pired as we are when running to lunch.
We ma y need exerci e. ,v e ma y be hungry. We ma y dislike to wait in line. But the great incenti v e which lure us into ri king life and limb is that distinction of being first in line. Although we have had our exercise , although we do n o t have to wait in a long line, if we are not fir t we are di appointed. We are not ourselves the rest of the day. Mournfully , with a touch of bitternes , we think of every wasted step, ev ery little delay. We would have been first had we not bumped into that girl and had to stop and apologize; undoubtedly those ahead of us came from the first floor or were excused before the bell. But once in a while when we are able to stand heroicall y important at the head of the line , surveying our disappointed rivals , half pit y ingl y, half condescendingl y, then life reaches one of it rare , gloriou s climaxes.
October
0, give me a day in October
When the leaves are turning brown The wind heaves a half poken whisper And the leaves with a rustle slip down.

A Snuffbox
It was a snuff box, scratched and dusty, Ages old and very musty
When I picked it up the other day. Did it belong to some old dandy , In his laces , silk all spandy, Did he carry it to dance and tea and play?
Did he slip it in his pocket , Where it rubbed against a locket
And a tiny glove of fair , soft kid?
Did he go to many a duel
Hear the scrape of blades so cruel?
Oh I wonder what that ancient dand y did! An acrid scent is borne to me , by the fragile breeze , To prove the snuff box did its duty-to make a dandy neeze !
-Virginia Faulkner, '2 8
Autumn
It is an autumn day.
Dull gre y is the sky, the color of pavement. Through the clouds sift pale streaks of yellow sunshine. Whispering together the brown and yellow leaves blow across the street; They hurr y in rows down the walk.
The bare boughs whine in the wind.
The haze of an Indian summer hangs over the hill. Then , for a second, the clouds in the sky And the haze on the hill lift.
The sun pours its rays through the open spaces in the leafless trees.
The wind stops blowing and all is quiet.
Summer 'is saying goodby.
A Railroad Bridge
-Doroth y Bickford, '27
Oh! wide -thro wn bridge, You behemoth , With your squat legs Thrust out
Like Herculean pillars, Buffeting the grind of ice, And rowdy cares Of the Spring's freshet; You with your brawn y arm , Thick as trees
Reaching to the Heavens , Support two frail slender rails, But toothpicks in your maw.
Trains in legion Thunder o'er you , But you groan And tand serene.

So This Is London
Social differences between England and the United States formed the main plot of the senior play, So This Is London, written by George Cohan. The Drapers, Americans visi tin g London, though p:ctured by the English as "cheap, gum-chewing Yankees", proved very friendly when they found that the Beauchamps were not reallv so reserved as English people appear. Frank Roehl, as Sir Percy Beauchamp, the stern, prejudiced Englishman, finally softened and consented to a marriage between his daughter and the son of the Drapers. Leo Erck portrayed the res.erved English business man at his best. Leta Mae Frederick played the part of Lady Ducksworth, an American by birth but an English woman by choice, who spent her time trv:ng to sof ten feelings between America and England.

The story · of Peg, the winsome Irish girl who captured the hearts of everyone .-around her, was given by the Mummers, ovember 19 and 20. Anita Johnston, in the title role, gave a performance that would be a credit to Laurette Tavlor herself. Roger Robinson as Jerry, the polished friend of the Chichester family, played his part with great sincerity. Frederick McFarland as Aleric, Peg's decidedly English cousin, amused everyone by his proficiency with his monocle. Two dogs in the playMichael, the loyal compan:on of Peg, and Ethel's lap dog-displayed considerable dramatic ability in responding to moods.

The Season
Triumphs over the mighty Waite high school of Toledo , and Lane Tech of Chicago, appeared as bright spots in a season's record that carried Lincoln high school through seven great victories and only one defeat. A mighty Links offense rolled up 2 I 8 points, averaging 28 per game, while the Red and Black defense, based on seven veterans, held all opponents to 18 points, and only one touchdown. An invitation to play the Tuscaloosa, Alabama, high school team at Los Angeles for the claim to the national title held by Waite high school last year was declined and thus Lincoln lost its chance for further national recognition.
The Links season opened on October I with a rush that swamped the Columbus "Discoverers" by a terrific offense led by Packer and Raugh and a defense that seemed impenetrable. Eight different Unks crossed the visitors' goal while the only man vvho was expected to do anything for Columbus was stopped for short gains every time. With the fighting spirit of Folger, the captain, and teamwork of the Links forwards, at no time was the Links goal in danger. Kitchen had a busy but succes,sful afternoon kicking field goals. Brownie substitutes worked well and scored several times.
The Red and Black team journeyed to Hastings the next week and there gave the Adams county boys a decisive beating. Raugh was out, but Pack and Bob Suter rolled up twenty-six points in the first quarter. Best, of Hastings, could not fathom the marvelous defense of the Lincoln line and in consequence Hastings went ,vithout any tallies. Suter and Packer worked well together, but the substitutes in the secund half could not find the final chalk mark under the Hastings goal.
Headed by Frahm, the Beatrice troupe came to Lincoln an undefeated team, but after they had experienced an hour of grilling, Lincoln's superiority was again established. The forward wall had a tough afternoon against the Beatrice backs, featuring the plunging Frahm, but they succeeded in keeping their uncrossed goal line record intact. Raugh, Tindall and Packer bucked the line, won the ends and passed to roll up 41 markers against the Gage county team, prov : ng two things; first, that the Links had a marvelous backfield combination1 and second, that they had an invincible forward wall.
Then came Toledo. A band of twenty-two gridsters embarked for distant parts, all set to throw a monkey wrench in the cog-wheels of football machines. Waite high school, claimant of the mythical national football championship, bowed down to the mighty Junior Cornhuskers, as the team was called there, in one of the most terriffic battles ever waged on a high school gridiron. It was a powerful line aga : nst an equally powerful line and a hard rushing backfield against just such

another, but Lincoln had a little toe which ,rnlked around with Ho,Yie Kitchen and which made it a ucce ful afternoon for the Red and Black. It wa a battle against two well-coached teams. Late in the period, Waite ent ru h after ru h by Penkoff and Bartha, against the fast weakening Links line , but Captain Bill Folger, with the fighting L :ncoln spirit, urged the Links to hold and they held to the last. The game \\ ill go down on the Red and Black record sheets as the biggest game ever won by a Lincoln team.
Fallowing the great Toledo triumph , fate put a tumbling block, Grand Island, in the Links path, that cau ed the only cloud on the Lincolr, championship horizon. The Links lo t their fighting spirit until it was too late, and then futile ru hes were topped by the inspired I lander At times, the Red warrior fla hed their true offense but these time were short lived, while the Phelan brother and Moore led a Grand Island attack that netted a field goal and a afety, making a final score of 5 to o.
The Brownie's next entertained their annual opponents, Omaha Te ch , and handed them the small half of the bacon. el on, Tech backfielder , took advantage of one of Lincoln' many fumbles, and turned one into a field goal early in the second period. From then on, the Links were playing a loser's game until the last five minutes when they staged a terrific eventy-yard march that ended when Packer crashed the Tech goal for the winning marker. The line was everything that could be expected, and refused to let any Maroon players slip through.
Torfolk entertained the L·ncolnites I ovember 13, on their field and received a sound beating, going without a score and leaving Lincoln's goal line till uncro sed. Raugh , Packer, and Bauer scored the 19 Links points. The Red warriors advanced the ball almost at will, but untimeiy penalties and numerous fumble prevented further scoring Captain Folger, Koster, Skold, Austin and Fisher performed like experts on the forward wall.
In the final game, played on Turkey Day with the much-talked-of Chicago Lane Tech team, the Brownies romped through the visitors' defense, roll:ng up the enormous score of 38 to the opponents' 7. The Windy City boys out-weighed the home clan about twenty pounds per man and were doped to be world-beaters. The game was played in the r ebraska memorial stadium before seven thousand fans who watched the Links roll up twenty-one first downs. The peedy Raugh ran the end and bucked the visitors' line for repeated long gains, while Packer, the Red Head, startled the Chicago forwards with his hard hitting tactic , and long-distance kicks. Raugh was helped by the fast charging Red and Black forwards, with Fisher cutting down oppo ing ends, and Captain Folger, Bauer, and Koster opening huge holes for him. The whole Lincoln team flashed that offensive power shown in the first games. Only one disappointing thing happened. the uncrosfed 1:rnal record fell when a Uncoln fumble was turned into a Tech touchdown, making the first and last one against Lincoln this eason.

F oo tball Reserv e s
Winning five out of six games, the football reserves staged a very successful season under William Parkinson, coach. They had a record of five straight victories with the Greater Lincoln league crown in sight, when they stumbled over Cathedral, losing by one point.
Of the reserve players, Boulter was an outstanding performer, amassing nearly all the team's points before he was promoted to the first string. He was appointed captain at the first of the season, and proved to be a well groomed quarterback. He was a good runner, fast and shifty, and the be t kicker and pas snatcher on the Black squad.
Harold Schmidt who ucceeded Boulter as captain, received with Boulter, honorable mention in the Greater Lincoln "all" teams. His play at center was one of the features of the seconds.
George Hartman, who plays a leading role in the backfield with · Boulter, was the third Lincolnite to have honorable mention on the "all" team. His running and plunging gained yard upon yard, while hi punts always put the Links out of danger. He was the accurate pas er in the Hartman-Boulter pas combination that worked to perfection.
Other performers who worked on the reserve squad were W uel er, shifty back, a thirty-yard-run pecialist; Durisch, the speedy back, and Thorpe, also a back. The line assignment rested with Batty , Kie selbach, Betz, Joy, and Woodsides, who always drew the regular berths.

The Season
In the most uccessful sea on of ba ketball Lincoln ha ever witnessed, Coach Browne molded a team that swept through the Nebraska state tournament undefeated , established a record at the national tournament by coring 71 point in one game, won twenty-six out of twenty-nine games played, rolled up 832 point to opponents' 494, an average of 30 to 18 and defeated an all-star alumni team.
After the first half of the Lincoln-South Omaha game, the Packers just didn't have a chance, and the final gun found the Links victorious in their initial appearance, holding a 33 to 22 count. "Biddy" Bernard, a tournament tar la t year, was collared by the defensive tactics, while Morrie Fisher, captain, hit the hoop eight times. Kimball worked well at center and Coach Browne ran sub titutes at the other guard and forward positions. The appearance of the team was that of a well-oiled machine, passing quickly, shooting accurately, with perfect teamwork. The Red and Black scoring was: Morris Fisher, 16; George Koster, 8; John Kimball, 5; Robert Suter, 4.
During the holidays, Lincoln started a trip of victories, knocking Benedict off first. The score, 28 to 7 , proved the Link defensive play to be exceptionally strong, with the Fisher-Kimball combination scoring consistently. Benedict never threatened, because of the determined Lincoln guards, and snared only two baskets. The Capital City team was never headed and the scoring re ted in the hands of Fisher, 8; Kimball, 7; Koster, 4; Morrision, 3; Suter, Bauer and Moore, 2.
Up against We t Point, first class A tournament opponents last year, the Links exactly doubled their adversaries' scores of 16 , with Kimball coring IO toward the Brownies' 32 tallies. The scarlet hoop ters grabbed an early lead and Browne rushed in the subs in the last quarter. Kimball's IO was followed by Fi her's 8, Suter's 6, Morrison' 5 and Koster's 2.
In one of the closest games of the year, the Lincolnites romped over Milford high chool in an impres ive manner , holding a 22 to 11 advantage at the half, then pulling out 36 to 27. The last half wa bitterly fought and wa fairly even, with Milford having a slight edge. Fi her's under basket counters came frequently and his total rested at 19. The scoring of the others was: 1orrison, 6; Kimball, 5; Koster, 3; Suter, 2.
Meeting its first suburban foe, Lincoln took Havelock into camp to the merry tune of 37 to 12. Browne u ed ten men, every man giving a good account of himelf and making a good impression on the Boilermakers. The Red and Black defense was impenetrable and the offense could not be stopped. Kimball and Morrison were high with eight points apiece and Fisher wa next with six. -143-
In the first 192 7 game, the L :nk started off right by snowing under the fa t Ravenna five at Ravenna, 25 to 9. Koster's and Suter's guardwork held Ravenna helpless with only four baskets. The Boswell brothers carried the full attack for the opponents, scoring all nine points.
Featuring an airtight defense the Capital City hoopsters ran through the fast tribe from Omaha Tech by a 27 to 23 pace. The state champions were outclassed and ·were beaten by a third period rally led by the Links forward The two captains starred for their teams and the Links scoring was Pinkey 8, Morrie 7, Dinty 6 , Dutch 4, Harvey 2.
Grappling with the fast University Place team, Lincoln scored an impressive 34 to 1 l victory with Fisher as the big gun. Lincoln counted again and again b y "tip in" shots. Fisher scored 14, Kimball and Bauer 6, and l\forrison, 5.
A close game, played at Whittier against the Crete midgets , took an extra period to convince the visitors that they were up against a better team. Fish(!r and Ko ter were stars, with Harvey Bauer as high-point man. Koster's floats tied the fracas in the last few econds. The Links scored 8 in the last period. Scoring was 7 for Bauer, 6 for Fisher, 5 for Koster, 4 for Kimball.
The Links then took a long jaunt and dumped Fort Dodge, Sioux City and orfolk in order in the "iron man act."
Fort Dodge, Iowa , proved the weakest defensive team, succumbing with an overwhelming 43 to 16 count. Every Lincoln man scored, with Captain Fisher highest. Morris tallied 17 times, his third high run for the year, Kimball was next with 11, Bauer grabbed off three baskets, Suter got two, l\1orri on sank two g ift shots, and Hackler 1. Everything was Lincoln from start to finish.
Tired from its track meet with Fort Dodge, the Links then grappled with East high school of Sioux City, which proved the strongest of the week-end foes. It was a close guarding game with Sioux City staging a rally in the second half after trailing the first half. But Koster and Suter soon had thi well in hand and the Brownies emerged victors, 24 to 16. Fisher, Morrison , Bauer with 6; Suter, 4; and Kimball, 2 ; accounted for Lincoln's scoring.
With orfolk as an opponent, the capital city hoophounds, in their twelfth -144-

con ecutive victory, once and for all, proved the merit of the "Scotch" defense and powerful offen e. coring at will and allowing orfolk only one point, the Links pulled out of the northern town, holding two dozen counter . Morris sank half the Links shot Ko ter, Kimball and :Morrison each nabbed a pair of field tos es to complete the scoring without a free toss.
Coach Browne then entertained hi old a istant and ent his Red men again t Coach Gautsch's men to give them the short end of a 35 to r 7 beating. After the initial basket , York never threatened, and Captain Kintzelman took his ·mate home to prepare for Lincoln in the semi-finals of the state tournament. Iorrison, Fisher and Kimball with 9, 8,· 7, in order, were high scorers while Martin, Koster, Perry and Bauer did the rest.
In avenging last years extra period defeat, the Brownies heaped a decisive drubbing on the Creighton Prepsters, rolling up a 40 to 19 score. Captain Fisher, who later pledged the all- tate class, alone tossed in enough points to beat the vi itors; he rang up 21 points to set a high run record for the season. Koster and Suter forced the Prep ters to long shots. The reserves played great ball in the fourth period, and the scoring wa 2 r for Fi her, 7 for Kimball, 6 for Morrison, 3 for Bauer, 2 for Ko ter , r for Perry.
Omaha Tech fell next before the largest \Vhittier crowd assembled during the season. It wa the close t and hardest game of the year, with neither team in the lead very long. It ended 20 to 17 for the Links. Jen on wa high for the Techsters with 8 points , and Nelson looked well, making one le s. A rough game, but nevertheless one of fine basketball, was exhibited by both team Fisher made half the Link points, IO, Morrison and Kimball caging 4, and Koster 2.
A Purple and White cloud from Kansas City wa the sixteenth victim to fall under the Links powerful offense. ortheast high played a winning game to the third quarter; then with Morrison and Kimball leading, were mothered under 27 to 20 at the final gong. The defense of both teams was close, but few fouls were committed. Fretche with 7 tallies was high for the K. C. boys, while Brewer looked well at center. The Brownie scorers were Morrison with 9 and Kimball with 8; Fi her, 3; Martin, Ko ter, and Suter, 2. -145-

St. Joseph Central of Missouri gave the Red and Black team its first defeat of the season, 22 to 19, and spoiled a perfectly good record. The Brownie's score sheet· showed Fisher, 8; Kimball, 6 ; Suter , 2.
Flashing a revival of form, the fighting Red team dumped the St. Joseph band in another tight game, on the St. Joseph floor. The Links were determined to win and nosed Central out b y one po:nt, 17 to 1G. Captain Fisher took it upon himself to be hero by sinking a neat basket just as the gun sounded. Morrison, 6; Fisher , 5; Kimball, Koster and Suter, 2; read the score board.
Making it a unanimous season over Omaha cage teams, the Lincolnites won their sixth metropolis victory, snowing Omaha Central under 34 to 15. The "Morrie-Dinty-Pinkey" combination worked to perfection. Brownie used all his subs in the game with good effects. Dutch's and Bob's guarding work held Central helpless.
After a slow start, Lincoln came back at Fremont and ran up the high core of the season, 51, while Fremont fared better than last year and scored 15 points. The game last y ear was 53 to I 3 and was the high score of the '26 season. Lincoln was extremely active in the last half , making 34 points. Captain Fisher alone scored 21 tallie s, a worthy evening's work. The Red and Black scoring: Fisher, 21; Morrison, IO; Kimball, 8; Suter, 4.
The Adams county boys ran amuck and nosed out the Red and Black 28 to 20 in the last quarter of the Hastings-Lincoln game. The Links defense was not functioning properly, and the speedy Wilson shifted through for five baskets and scored on free throws. Hastings players made almost ever y single shot while the Links were not so fortunate. Links scoring: Fisher , 9; Morrison, 4; Koster, 4; Kimball, 3. Seventeen straight victories was the Lincoln record after foiling Omaha Central, 22 to 13. Central led at the first quarter but then the home boys were never headed, and won their fifth game from an Omaha quintet. Fouls were Central's threat , with five markers. While Kimball ran wild, scoring 12, Fisher got 7; Suter, 2; and Morrison , I.
The State Tournament
Entering the ebraska state basketball tournament as one of the few favorites, Lincoln soon established itself in the championship role. Its victories over North Platte, Kearne y, York and Crete, by sheer clever passing, accurate shooting, and machine-like teamwork, earned an invitation to the national tournament at Chicago.
In its first appearance , the Links machine ran amuck the Platters and tallied a 25 to 8 victory. The Links scorers were consistent, and continued at a rather slow pace to amass their total, while the guards, Koster and Suter, had the Platters absolutely under control, forcing them to desperate attempts to score, nearly all of which failed. Fisher and Kimball tallied seven apiece, while Moore, Suter, Morrison and Martin, were in order for the other points.
In the second round the Red and Black hoopsters nosed out the Kearney outfit. The Fisher-Morr:son-Kimball trio worked smoothly to garner the 25 points. The Suter-Koster guard combination found the Kearne y forwards easy to handle, and started innumerable Lincoln plays that ended in the score column. Pinkey and Morrie netted 9 counters each, with Dinty getting 4, Dutch 2 and Bob I.
Showing a better game than either of the other foes , York, coached by Floyd Gaut sc h, lost a thriller to the Brownies 27 to 13. Fisher was everywhere, amassing a I 5 point total, and leading the L:ncolnites into the final game. York put up a terrific battle, but · a speedy, varied passing attack bewildered them and the Links backstoppers were always interfering with their efforts. Brownie subs added four -146-
points, all made by Moore. The corers-Fisher, lorri on, Mo?re, Ko ter and Suter-rang up 15, 5, -1-, 2, and 1, in order.
l\1eeting Crete, conquerors of the Hastings tribe, Lincoln emerged from a heartwarming battle with a 23 to 18 core. Crete, featuring Kind, got an 8 point lead in the first quarter but the econd canto found a 13 to 8 core favqring the Links. Then came the stirring last half with Captain Fisher pulling the Link together for the last rally that netted the 5 point lead. The lead changed everal t ime but always the Brownies were equal to Crete's best efforts. The Links stalling game wa working to perfection and kept the Saline county boy up in the air in the la t half. The gun found both team fighting hard and brought to a close the tournament, making the Links champion of ebraska.
After accepting the national tournament's call, the champ scheduled a game with an alumni quintet with Dutch Witte as captain, and staged for a benefit game, a friendly combat that proved to be a thriller. The Link looked beaten with a m:nute and half yet to go, but Kimball and Ko ter pulled the champs into a ti,e. In the extra period the alumni again forged ahead_only to be tied in the last moment by the l\Iorrie-Dinty pair. So another whirl was taken and this time the present Brownies galloped through the past Brownies, scoring 6 to 2 points. Fisher and Kimball carried the offensive with Dinty poking in 1 I tallies for high point man for the winner Witte and Kohler made 14 and I I for the lo ers.

Greater Lincoln league champions, the title won by the greatest reserve team Lincoln ever put out on a maple floor, was wholly worthy of the team that lost but three games out of seventeen in the season. The personnel of the team was altered at different times in the season, with Coach Overman hav:ng no regular performers. But of all, Boulter, Witte, McDole, Trott, l\1archand, Fisher, Kiesselbach and B a tt y got the call most often , Impressive victories included the Crete reserve, and the Omaha Tech reserve games which the L nks won handily although the Crete aggregation defeated them earlier in the season SEASON SCORES

Playing on a team gives her one hundred points. If the team on which she plays is the winner in the tournament, the girl is awarded fifty additional point The girl now has one hundred and fifty points toward the thousand which are required for an L.

She is charming. She is magnetic. She flashes in and out of the brilliant crowd like a diamond among baser gems. From her shining hair to her glistening feet, she is perfection. She is of divine height with a proud little head poised delicately on those indescribably perfect shoulders and glimmering neck. Her hair is of that intense, profound bluish-black, that is at once a thousand colors and is twis t ed breathlessly at the shimmering curve of her neck. Her quizzical, sophis t icated eyebrows etch a line just wide enough to accentuate the exquisite ivory of her complexion. Under the sweep of her long graceful lashes are the eyes-now blue-now

Engl ish As She Is Wr i tten
In a grammar class the other day, 1iss Cather was shocked to note the principal parts of the verb, "to dive," given as follows: "dive, dove, has diven." Hardly had she recovered from that when she picked up a set of senior papers and read what is produced herewith: "FIELD AND STREAM, a magazine published weakly, gives complete details on how to track down a dear." HELPFUL HINTS FOR lVlALES could not have done more. On still another paper she discovered that they have "chili nights" in Africa. Though this would sound plausible enough if the writer were referring to l\!Iexico, we can hardly apply it to Africa as all the nights over there, in the term of food, would be date evenings. Miss Cather does not claim any great fame in her knowledge of physiology, but she question-marked the following statement from a senior manuscript: "The player was injured in the last half."

Brass Tacks
Wherever I've gone and had to work, I usually-nay! always-have wanted to shirk. But forever and ever when I become lax, I'm told with spirit to get down to brass tacks. In history, in Latin, in work of all kind, \Vhenever I get just the least bit behind, Though I don't mind being told t o get down to the facts , I just naturally despise t o come back to brass tacks. Though I'm peaceable and hate t o str ike, There's another instance ·which I dislike; To stretch myself out, and prepare to lie back, And then to collide with a sharpened brass tack.
If some dark day, a shag my ship smacks, I know it will be on a reef of brass tacks.

OFFICE OF DR. VAN B SMITH
Osteopathic Physician
LI NC OL N, NEBR AS K A
March Twenty-third, 1927.
Dr. George M. Laughlin, President, Kirksville College of Osteopathy & Surgery, Kirksville, Missouri.
Dear Dr. Laughlin:
In advising young men to consider the advantages of the osteopathic profession I speak from twenty-four years of experience .
The opportunities for a successful career in Osteopathy were never better than now. There is a crying need for more good osteopathic physicians in every community. Other professions a re over crowded, wasting the time and lives of at least half the men in their ranks.
The idle or unused time of an osteopath is reduced to a minimum. He is forced and paid to extend to the limit, his activities, physical and mental, in a well balanced manner. This should prolong his working years far beyond the period of a modern business man's life.
In times of business depression, such as through which we have just been passing, when able men have been forced to part with the business and savings of a lifetime, the osteopath has swung through with no catastrophe t o his business, no heart-breaking crisis in his affairs, and with only a slight shrinkage in his income.
The exceptional courses offered by our colleges give an unusual advantage to the osteopathic students but to be a true success, it is necessary that one have a strong character and a pleasing personality, and be hcnest with himself and with his clientele.
Fraternally yours, S/W VAN
B SMITH.
