Under the fine s uperv1 10n of Will French the work of the junior and senior high school has been very closel y correlated thi year. He is interested in •the welfare of the students and, in hi capacity of a istant uperintendent of school , ha been reorganizing all the school curriculums, so that they are brought up to date and systemized.
Hi unruffled manner of sere nity make it a pleasure to work with him. He is liked by all the tudents and they feel free to consult him because he 1s reasonable and fair with them and sees their point of view.
M. C. Lefler, superintendent of schools, de erves the esteem in which he is held both nationally and locally. The grade school and junior high school buildings indicate the generaLhip with which he ha planned for adequate housing. These schools and the senior high school as well show h :s master y in the field of the curriculum. Expansion of the industrial arts, the fine arts and the music department has made the senior high school a mecca for student s who had previously not been well cared for. When he speaks in his all too rare appearances before the students, his words reflect the genuine fondness which guides him in all his work for the boys and girls of Lincoln.
In the resignation of Paul . Campbell this year Lincoln high chool is losing one of the mo t sincere and kindly a s i tant principals it has ever had. Mr. Campbell has been a true and good-hearted friend to the boys of the chool and has helped many of them through narrow place He ha realized their problems and tried to olve them by giving the boy encouragement and personal advice. He ha done a great deal for the individual by trying to induce him to bring up hi ,c holastic standing. Hi intere t in e tra-curricular activitie , particularl _ debate, ha re ulted in their development. He i especially intere ted in the relation of the church and the school with the community.
As assi tant principal of Lincoln high chool Mi Olivia Pound ha full charge of regi tration ar angements and chief responsibility for all que tion of credit adjustment. he ha won the fulle t confidence of all with whom she ha come in contact in her capacity as adviser to girl he is re pon ibl for the organization of the girl athletic a sociation and he founded and now sponsor the all girl league council. he confer \vith the D.A.R chapter in the making of its annual award. he is alway deeply interested in the undertaking of the
tudents and a sturdy help to tho e who are facing the perplexities that be et boys and girls.

Spring is in the air!
Do you not hear the bluebird :ng, And children's merry voices ring
Do you not hear the song of earth, Her song of happine s and mirth?
For pring is in the a:r !
- Jeanette Fogelson, '28
"fo l 492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue." ot less than he In historie
The class of '28 arnve Iµ 1925.
If only Columbus could have been there that day in September to see all the proud freshies stalk into the auditorium with a courage that almost surpassed his! If he had lingered, he might have seen that courage vanish before the superior glances of the student council members. The discover,er, who himself had sailed uncharted seas, would certainly have sympathized with the freshmen, about to set out on an uncertain voyage of four years duration.
But these same children soon proved to those , all too condescending council members that they meant business. In the fall of '25, the officers were elected, which proved that the class of '28 was due for recognition. Herbert Gooch became president; Max Funke, vice-president; Genevieve Kumpf, treasurer; Charles Anderson, £e cretary; and John Stone, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Ruth Price and Miss Lillian Portenier were chosen as sponsors.
Arthur Danielson was elected president the second semester; Nadine Wells, vice-president; Harriett Whitman, secretary; Mildred Gish, treasurer; Betty Sain, editor, and Robert Danielson, sergeant-at-arms.
The second semester the class held a joint meeting with the freshman girls club and decided to give a hobby show. This was the first hobby show in the history of Lincoln high school, and apparently it was a great success.
This energetic class put on one of the best assemblies of the year, as even the juniors and seniors were forced to admit. The boys octet sang two numbers , Ona Jorgenson gave a reading, Harriett Whitman and Ruth Tomson sang several Irish folk songs, Myron Bloom played a saxophone solo, and a group of boys gave a tin soldier drill.
Then came 1926, and members of the class of '28 became sophomores, which transiated, means wi se focls. aturally officers had to be elected, and a~in the class -19-
showed its good judgment by selecting adine Wells as president; Charles Anderson, vice-president; Russell Trott, ecretary; Milton Gish, treasurer; Fred McFarland, editor, and Holmes Congdon, sergeant-at-arms.
adine Wells and Betty Everett we.re chosen t::> represent the class on the all girls council. Betty Sain and Arthur Danielson became sophomore members of the student council. Later, however, Arthur got in a. hurry and was graduated with the class of '27-everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
Herbert Bennell represented the class in debate as an alternate on the school team. In the interclass debates, the sophomores defeated the freshmen in the first round. December 3 r, the sophomores met the seniors, who had previously defeated the juniors, in a debate held in assembly. The sophomore team, Katharine Howard, Robert Rait and Herbert Bennell, again received the decision ,and carried off the Magee cup, while the seniors were left in the dust.
Katharine Howard was elected president the second semester; Bernice Schellenberg, v : ce-president; Dorothy Kimmel, secretary; Howard Colton , treasurer; Betty Pringle, editor, and Howard Van Sickle, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Portenier left school and Miss Grace McMahon was chosen as sponsor in her place. Miss Price and Miss McMahon piloted the class through the remaining two and a half years.
Station SOP H (sophomore class) broadcasted in assembly an excellent radio program consisting of musical selections, speeches, readings and bed-time stories ( for the benefit of the seniors). The program was so good that Lauer Ward, the announcer, could scarcely take care of the tons of telegrams of acknowledgements he received. Even President Coolidge was said to have wired congratulations to the class.
Then the sophomores reached the estate of juniors. What a grand and glorious feeling! They now received the respectful consideration of the seniors and could do unto the sophomores as they had been done unto when they were sophomores; but one revenge this class didn't get was on the freshmen. The reason was simple: there were no longer any freshmen !
The class elected Howard Van Sickle junior president the first semester; Milton Gish, vice-president; Dean Schuyler, secretary; Dorothy Ager, treasurer; Howard Colton, editor, and John Turner, sergeant-at-arms.
On the all girls council the junior representatives were Rachel Branson, Katharine Howard, Betty Hobbs , and Jean Rathburn who was elected to take the place of Ruth Tomson.
Herbert Bennell, Mildred Dole, Milton Gish, Betty Harrison, Robert Kiffin , ~nd Dorothy Kimmel of the class of '28 were the junior representatives elected to the student council.
The second semester rolled around and so did class elections. Charles Anderson became president; Winifred \Vebster, vice-president; Robert Kiffin, ecretar y ; William Irons, treasurer; Aleen Neely, editor, and Albert Todd, sergeant-at-arms.
During this semester, the class presented its first play, The Youngest. It was the story of a youngest down-trodden son who asserts his right and becomes the head of the family. The leads were taken by Rex Seaton as the Younge t, and Katharine Howard, who as Nancy Blake tries to make a man of him. Oh, of course there was an assembly to advertise the play with saxophone solos, readings, piano selections, songs and a tap dance.
Edwin Faulkner, the elson brothers-Meredith and Leonard-Herbert Bennell and Lauer Ward, all mighty wielders of words, were on the debate squad during thei;
junior year. At the Fremont tournament the y worked up to the emi-finals but were defeated there by Hastings. The class of '28 must make it bow to the sophomore , though. They defeated Lauer Ward, Leonard el on and Robert Rait in the interclass debate.
In the spring came the olymp:cs and, although the senior claimed the victory, the younger class had one glorious feather in its cap: by a cleverly planned attack, the senior colors came down in seve nteen seconds.
Vacation came, and then in a lmo st no time at all, the class of '28 was singing "We are seniors glorious!" Seniors! What a year that word foretells. The list a nd best year of all in the old high school.
The class was divided into two groups, the winter and the June se n:ors. Robert Suter became president of the winter class; Claude Au tin , vice-pre ident; Ludwig Gartner, treasurer; Richard Armstrong, secre tar y, and William Iron , sergeant-atarms.
Berne Packer was elected president of the June seniors; Willard Hedge , v icepresident; Robert Kiffin, treasurer, and Theodore Kiesselbach, sergeant-at-arms.
Class color day was the first big event of the school year. Every senior girl wore purple paper ruffs around her neck and wrists, and the boy s lookd like college presidents in their mortar board caps of purple and white. A one-act fantasy, Three Pills in a Bottle, was given by the seniors as a part of their assembly program. Carl Frolich sang A sleep in the De ep . The program continued with a violin selection by Abraham Hill and a vocal solo by Mildred Dole.
Twelve seniors made up the better part of the _ student council. They were Don Carr, Rachel Branson, John Turner , the Gishes-Milton and Mildred-Betty Hobbs, Ru sell Trott , Mildred Dole , Theodore Kiesselbach , Duane Boulter, Winifred Webster, Katharine Howard and Aleen eely who replaced Katharine during the second seme ter. Gwendolyn Hager, Bereniece Hoffman, Betty Pringle, Clara Christensen, and Bernece Lieberman represented the class of '28 on the all girls council.
The senior class, being original, gave three one-act plays rather than the usual one three-act play. Th e Bishop's Candlesticks was a bit from Les Miserables , The Trysting Place, a delightful comedy by Tarkington, and The Knave of Hearts, a humorous fantasy woven around the rhyme,
"The knave of hearts He stole some tarts."
On January 22, 1 9 28, one hundred and fifty-seven winter seniors were graduated. Twenty of them received membership in the ational Honor Society. The Reverend Paul Calhoun delivered the senior sermon and Rose Lee Cohen and Paul :Moessner were the senior speakers. For their last semester, the June seniors chose Duane Boulter as president; Theodore Kiesselbach, vice-president; Milton Gish, secretary; Jean Rathburn , treasurer; Robert Kiffin , editor, and Richard Travis, ergeant-at-arms.
The class gave a leap year dance. B the way, another distinguishing feature of the class of '28 was the fact that it was graduated in leap year.
It is t:me to pull down the asbe tos curtain. (What an appropriate gift a new curtain would be for the senior class to leave! That would at least be one thing the underclassmen would thank it for.) Good by, Lincoln high, the class of '28 has done its best for you!
And so the voyage is ended.
To you
To you
To you who who who of
have guided u t hrough four years of effort, have been an in piration in bringing out the be8t that wa in u , have encouraged us onward through discouragements to the goal ucce s,
To you, our ponsors, we the cla8s of 1928 give our appreciation.
Ah, timid little Mi tres Pu y Willow, You're hiding in your coat of cozy brown, But I can see you peeping from it cover; I love to stroke your head of fuzzy down.
You make me think that you are shy and mode t; Your little gown is sober, ember grey, But glints of hining silver, like rich velvet, Gleam in your fur and make you very gay.

During the nine years which have elapsed since the founding of the student council its field of activity has broadened extensively. There are many way in which it is possible for it to serve Lincoln high. This year under the lead~rship of the two fine presidents, Milton Gish and Donald Carr, and with the careful guidance of its sponsor, Miss Elisabeth Wittmann., the council ha made 1928 an exceedingly progressive year.
One of the most important pieces of work undertaken wa the drawing up of a uniform class constitution. If each class adopts it as its own constitution, all class procedures including elections will be standardized and hence greatly simplified.
A new plan for paying for stage scenery was worked out this year. Each of the five clubs which give performances annually will pay a small rent on the properties imtead of bearing the initial cost as heretofore. This system will not only divide the burden of expense, but it will also provide a fond for stage improvements.
The student council acted as host to the sop,homores entering in the fall and in January by presenting a program and helping them to register.
The council was responsible for two assemblies during the year. The first waf the annual color day assembly with all the trimmings that must attend such a frivolous occasion. To advertise the all-school event, joy night, which the student council sponsors yearly, the econd assembly was held Some two thousand pectators witnessed joy night with mirth equaled only by that aroused by previous joy nights.
Then again, the council tried to make the school more pleasant by converting the cafeteria into a hall of victory. This was accomplished by decorating it with old pennant and banners won in athletic contests years ago.
This year the council continued to spor:isor the matinee parties, as in the pa t, with everal important changes. A five-cent admission fee was collected in order to provide a better orchestra. The second improvement - the addition of wax for the floor - seems to have materially increased the popularity of these parties.
Showing courtesy to visiting athletic teams was another duty undertaken by the council. The courtesy committee cooperated with the L club in spreading the spirit of the Red and Black.
A large amount of material has been collected by this years council, to be used in the manual of administration which will probably be published next year.

The home room representative body is the go-between for the students and the student council. Popular vote in each home room i the me t hod by which members of this group are chosen.
The "reps" voted for two amendments to the high school constitution. The first stated that home room representatives are to be elected at the end of the first week of school in the fall instead of during the fourth week. The second amendment provided that the representatives shall serve as hall guides
The representative from junior home room nominated candidates for the student council to fill the vacancy made by a dropping out of a junior girl. The senior representative likewise chose several candidates to replace senior members of the council who had resigned. In order to elimina t e further inconveniences of this sort, the representative body passed a resolution to the effect that if there should be a vacancy during the eme ter, the student who had received the next highe t vote at the la t regular election would replace the member resigning.
The "reps" did their bit toward making this years color day uccessful by selling pennants, caps, canes and arm bands of red and black. John Stone served as chairman of the organization. Miss Elisabeth Wittmann acted as adviser.

Collecting old broken toys from the students, having them mended and repainted by the manual training classes, and then distributing them to children in orphanages at Christmas time, wa but one of the many ways in which the all girls council has proved itself to be among the most useful of all school organizations. It also supervised the collection of funds for the Social Welfare Society.
The decoration of the stage for athletic assemblies was in the hands of this group of girls, as was the designing of the high school float for the Armistice Day parade. Both semesters an assembly and a party were given for all the girl of the school. In addi tion to this the all girls league gave the prologue for joy night.
The league works hand-in-hand with the tudent council. The girls of the latter body choose the members of the league, six of whom are seniors, four juniors and two sophomores.

THE Lr KS could carcely have gone to press without the aid of many whose names do not appear on the staff page. As in former years, the 1928 ~nnual ha gladly received contributions. The staff has called upon the services of many sen:ors to edit and revise and to verify names and facts. It is impossible to name all who have lent a hand in shaping this publication.
To the art department, Miss Helen Wilson, Miss Gladys Dona and their students, we are indebted for the fine art work which is entirely the result of student effort. As an incentive to encourage students to ubmit cover designs, a volume of THE LINKS was offered for the best. Helene Gunther received the prize. The students who furnished the most art work for THE Lr KS were appo:nted art editors this year.
Not only did members of the taff give their services to writing copy which was not definitely assigned, but others not on the staff lent their aid. Among these are Alice Geddes, who edited copy, iildred Gish and Rasche Myers, who ass:sted in checkin 6 the senior biographies, and Richard Burn and orma Odell, who helped by typewriting material in a critical moment.
Mr. Kane's ale manship clas es established a record this year by selling the most advertising that has ever been contracted. According to the custom, the position of advertising manager and a free volume of THE Lr KS were given to the per on selling the most adverti ing. After a close race Helen Dietrich received the award and Fanny Demehou ky came econd. For her fine work during the campaign Fanny was awarded a copy of the annual. THE LINKS staff won the subscription contest with the highest salesman on its side.
Bereniece Hoffman was high, selling seventy-six books, while Jean Rathburn and Evelyn Engel tied for second place, each elling thirty-five volumes
A volume of THE Lr KS wa sent to the family of Harry Fi er, who died during his last semester in high school. He wa to have been graduated in June. -85-

To pay tribute to what many considered the greatest football eleven in the history of Lincoln high school, six memorable assemblies were held last fall. Candidate for cheer leaders tried out in the first rally of this sort, which officially opened the season on October 5. For the first time in m~ny months, the student body had an opportunity to exercise its lungs. What results! W. Harold Browne, football coach, and Earle Johnson, director of physical education in the public schools, explained the newly adopted rules of the game. The chedule for the season was announced. H. 0. Ferguson, who happened to be visiting school at the time, led the students in the familiar chant, Fight, Fight for Lincoln, and Lincoln Will Shine Tonight.
Five days later two very appropriate gatherings were held to celebrate the second victory of the Red and Black over Waite high of Toledo, by a score of 3 I to I 3. "Don't be overconfident!" was the warning sounded· by Will French, the principal, Claude Austin, captain, the coach and George Koster. J evertheless everyone felt mighty good about the game, and as the team was on the stage for the first time, there wa much cheering to show appreciation. Glen Case, the new music director, was introduced and led the singing.
The enthusiastic fans were again admonished by Mr. French in an assembly which was held ovember I 8, that overconfidence i the downfall of many good teams. l\1r. John on remarked that to underrate one's opponent was a ure indication of poor sportsmanship A new organization in the music department of Lincoln high school, the bras quartet, played a special number for this program.
That the boys had brought home "the bacon" was evident from the decorations of the stage, the modestly triumphant mien of the players them elves and the exuberance of the student at the last football assembly, held December 2. M. C. Lefler, the superintendent, who was present to add his congratulations, made a short talk on the three G's - Grit, Get and Gumption. Coach Browne reviewed the season and Capta·n Claude Austin introduced the captain elect, Harold Schmitt.
The first basketball assembly, given on January 13, wa also the _ first athletic rally of the new year. Coach Browne reviewed the history of basketball from its earliest days down to t he present. He urged everyone to turn out for the first home game of the season and give the team upport.
Jus t before the exci t ing co nt es t with Crete on February IO another assembly of thi ort \Vas held. Again the band was on the stage and played everal pieces, one being Indian Dawn with Reed mith a concert soloist . Happiness and how it m :ght be attained wa the topic upcn which Walter J. Kirkbride, head of Roberts Dair y , poke Mr. French gave the team encouragement by alluding to apoleon's statement , " O ver t he Alps lies Italy." Another rally was held March 7 to arouse en- thu iasm for t he state tournament. Coach Browne and 0. B Ander on , phy ical training director of the local Y. M. C. A , were the sp eakers.
Assembl:e u ~ed for adverti sing purpose were the exception rather than the rule this year. Indeed the opera , joy night and THE LI TKS were the only undertaking who e adverti ing campaign included a embl y program s, a other means were u ed for heralding pla ys.
OKM X ! ! Hor sefeathers ! April 9 , 1928, will always be remembered as th e day that Lincoln high school was visited by the honorable B arney Google in an a embly given by the tudent council to advertise joy night. Barney, alias Porter Cannon, gave a campaign speech, urging the tudents to give him a help ing hand o that he might get to the White House. The campaigners, Sidney Pepple, Richard Travi, Howard Van Sickle a n d Carl Frolich, sang a ong entitled The Billy Goat Blu es. Then some of the B illy Goats per uaded P uzzums, or Clyde Wedgewood, t o play on his French horn. Tha t most famous hor e, park P lug , ( in other words Reed Sartor and Wallace Web ter) gave a tap dance . The trainer, Sunshine, ( Horace Munger plus burnt cork) also appeared. To convince Barney that he hould stay for joy nigh t , Don Carr called upon some of the "Twenty million" to give samples of what they could do. Forrest Sp:eler began the demonstra t ion wi t h a mouth harp selection. ext , Wilhelmein Sprague clan ed for Mr. Google.
The climax came when four members of the facult v dressed a glee club girl ,. ang a few song. This quartet was compo sed of Mrs. Grace H ya tt , Mis Elisabeth Wittmann, Miss iary Hullhorst and Miss Louise Miller. The head custodian , Edwin Geistlinger, pla yed a few numbers on his accordeon. By this time the Exalted An g ora had decided to stay, but just a the boo ters had finished singing Come and Get a Place for Joy Night , Fannie Bell Finch , none other than Milton Gi h, ran out on the stage and frightened the poor billy goats away
Golf links , chain l:nks , a l y nx , sau age links and THE LL KS were pictured on posters decorating the tage for TH E L1 TKS assembl y The advertising campaign w:i. officially opened when the first copy of the bo ok was old to Lauer Ward b v Charles Ander on, circulation manager, in a s ketch en titled A L esson in Buymansizip . Bereniece Hoffman, editor-in-chief , was in charge of the program and in t ro d uced Mr. French who gave a talk on THE LINKS and it s relat:on to Lincoln high chool. The eni6r boy quartet sang a one of their . elections, a ong written by Mis Elisabeth Wittmann set to t he tune of Among }J;fy S c u v cn rs. Dvvight Means , accompan:d e n the piano by Harold Pe t er on, gave a clog dan ce. Edwin Faulkner, man1'7 :n'.Y editor , told when, where and why everyone should purchase THE LINKS.
"We must have more as emblies like t hi s ", said Mr. French, as the student by con t inual clapping evinced t heir approval of the reading East Is West. This t hree-act play was read in assembly by Mis B ea t rice Hullett of the dramatic depar t ment of the University of ebraska. Programs of this sort are always accepted with delight by the s t udent bo d y.
The Mummers, instead of giving an assembly to rou e intere t in their play , waited till later in t he emester to present a program before the chool. A one -act
comedy, The Unseen, was given by Clara Christensen, Rexford Seaton and J essie Mae Kurk . Swiss song were sung by Helene Gunther and a reading was given by Berneice De Long.
•
What ,vas perhaps the most moving of all the plays presented during the year was a one-act drama, The Valiant, given in assembly the second eme ter by the :Mummers. George Tracy portrayed the part of the criminal who chose to remain ilent and go to the gallows rather than tell the whole of hi tory and perhaps go free but hurt someone \Yhom his ilence shielded. The role of his sister. Jo ephine Paris was taken by Jean Piper. Willard Hedge was the warden and Don arr the ch:1plain.
Much in the way of varied assembly programs ha been furn:shed this year by clubs and other student organizations. A program for all the girls of the school wa • presented ovember I 7 by the all girls council. The University Players gave a comedy ent:tled A Jl;f atter of Choice. Songs by Eloise Bradford and readings by Grace Pechous completed the program.
A Balloonatic Ballet by a bevy of beautiful boys was the feature of the second all girls league assembly, given March 30 to announce the organization's Balloonatic party. Wilhemein Sprague danced, Frank Wil on played a xylophone solo and Augusta French sang two ongs. The la t number was a playlet given by Margaret H ullfah and Doris Wilkins.
Each of the classes contributed numbers to an all-school assembly planned by the student council and presented December I 5. Representing the sophomore class, Margaret Hullfish gave a reading and Frank Wilson played a xylophone solo. The juniors offered a girls tumbling act and an animated clog dance by Dorothy McKenzie. As their class contribution the senior boys quartet ang two number The students were heard to remark that this program was one of the best of the year.
A unique a £sembly was the one given by the Latin classes for the students who were taking that language. Medicus, a Latin play, was given by members of Mis Ethel Beattie', and Miss Jessie Jury's classes. The pupils of Mis Helen Dunlap sang a Christmas carol in Latin. Another play, A School Girl's Dream or Caesar's Ghost, was given by Miss Goldie Applegate's classes. Concluding the program, Wentworth Fling gave an illustrated talk on Roman life.
Another all girls assembly was pre ented, this time sponsored by the girls athletic as ociation. Mildred Gish, Bereniece Hoffman and Betty Willson were the speakers. Several folk dances were given by members of the organization. Miss Olivia Pound awarded four L's to successful girl athletes.
For the first time, the Forum participated in giving an a sembly, and met with high success. The varied program included vocal numbers by Grace Pechou , The Lance of Kanana, a dramatic reading by Paul Calhoun, and an oration, Sparticus to the Gladiators, by Rolland Martin Following this, a humorous sketch showed Mark Twain being interviewed by a reporter. Philip Brownell took the part of the famous :author, and Arnold Kleinebecker was the aspiring young reporter. "I the Moon Made of Cheese?" was the question investigated by a senatorial committee consisting of Senators Edwin Faulkner, Lauer Ward, Frederick Eiche, Russell Beers and Wallace Fraser. Paul Calhoun, Leonard elson and John Hanson, witne ses, were called t J the stand to testify in thi , cheese scandal investigation, which closed the assembly.
Members of Sigma Alpha Iota, musical sorority of the University of ebraska, gave an as£embly program early in the first semester. A string trio comprising Miss Gladys Beyette, cellist, Miss Blanche Larabee, violinist, and Miss Elaine McBeth, pianist, gave several numbers. Miss Eleanor Larson, oprano, sang.
The following day the high school orche , tra under the direction of Charles B. Righter, jr., appeared in assembly. Three election from the Don Quixote suite were played. Paul Campbell, assistant principal, gave a complete explanation of the T ational Honor Society with which Lincoln high school became affiliated last spring.
Members of the class of 1927 returned to school to give an as5embly. Emanuel Wishnow played the violin, Lawrence Tyler, the flute, and Sarah Vance, the harp. Roger Robin on sang everal pieces, as did the g:rls quartet. Another alumni assembly was given by members of other graduated classes. Jeanette 01 on, '22, gave two piano solos; Floyd Robinson, '23, sang a baritone solo; Eugene Robb, '26, played on the French horn; Sylvia Cole, '21, ang two contralto solos; and Dorothy Howard, '24, played two violin numbers.
Three selections from the opera Faust were played by the high school orchestra the next time it appeared in as embly. Don Abbott, a member of the orchestra, gave a cornet olo. The Doll's House , by Katherine Mansfield, was read b y Blanche Farran , a graduate of the class of '25.
With a Christmas tree on either side of the stage, thirty-two lighted candles representing the years of Christ's life, along the footlights, and a star shining in the background, the two annual Christmas assemblie5 had their customary setting. For the first, held December 21, the glee clubs sang Christmas carols, with the audience joining in on Silent Night, and O Come, All Ye Faithful. The string quartet played a selection and the girls octet sang two ongs. The Reverend Benjamin F. Wyland spoke.
The Messiah was given the next day by the advanced glee clubs. The soloists were Mis Vera Upton, soprano; Mrs. R. 0. Hummel, contralto; George Lessenhop, tenor; and Oscar Bennett, ba s. Softly fading strains of Silent ight from afar off the stage ended what was perhaps the loveliest assembly of the year.
In having ,ome very intere ting lectures this year, Lincoln high school has been exceedingly fortunate. John Curtis, vice-pre ident of the American Legion, was the speaker on Armistice Day. Hi talk was thoroughly intere ting and it inspired in everyone a desire to be patriotic. On the same program the girls glee club, under the direction of Miss Helen Stowell, sang three select:ons.
Oz Black, always welcome, again made hi5 appearance on the Lincoln high school stage. In his chalk talk he drew a series of ten pictures of some of the best known people in and about school. The girl string quartet, a new musical group organized by Mr. Righter, made its debut in this assembly. The quartet consisted of Lucile Aura, Frances Dowling, Laverne Jacobson and Claire Heflin, accompanied by Bernice Schell en berg.
". othing of a small nature registered with Lincoln", stated the Reverend Paul Calhoun of the First Presbyterian church in his address on Lincoln's birthday. He went on to say that if America honor her constitution, she honors Lincoln who preserved it. The Cornhu ker 5tring quartet, Henry Knies, Emanuel Wishnow, Kenneth Loder and Philip Jorgenson, played several numbers.
Philip Martindale, the chief forest ranger at Old Faithful Camp in Yellow tone Park, spoke of and illustrated the beauties of the park and al o told how the forest rangers help protect the animals and guard forest reserve.;:. Besides being very intructive the talk made many of his hearer long for a vacation and the great outdoors.
In memory of George Wa5hington, "The Father of Our Country", the Reveren:l Edwin C. Palmer, pastor of the All Souls Unitarian Church, spoke in a £embly, February 22, on The Jl;f aking of a ation. He tressed especially the importance of a good leader and the difficulties which Wa hington encountered with his small unorganized army. Preceding the speech the We leyan girls quartet sang a group of four songs.
The Senior Honorary ociety is a national organization, a local chapter of which was formed in Lincoln high school for the first time in the spring eme ter of 192 7. ew members are elected from both the winter and the June graduating clas Mis Margaret Proctor is the ponsor.
To encourage a high order of scholarship is the chief purpo e of the society. Requirements for member hip are high cholar hip , good character, leader hip and service to the chool. Only those in the upper one-third of the cl as are eligible to election.
Usually during the last six weeks of a semester, the registrar makes a li t of all the graduates, arranging them in the order of their academic standing. Eligibility can thus be determined. Meanwhile, all teachers make a li t of students they believe worthy of membership. These suggestions are tabulated according to the frequency with which fhe student has been nominated. A committee compo ed of thirty teachers of senior subjects is then appointed. The members of this committee meet with the principal and each is given a list of the eligible seniors. The balloting is continued until the number is sufficiently reduced. About one-half of those eligible, or fifteen percent of the whole graduating class, finally become members. The two classe , the winter and the June, are considered separately in this selection, and fifteen percent of each become members.
The new members hold a meeting and elect three officers, who remain in office until the members from the following class have chosen their leaders.
From the members of the winter cla s of 1928 the following officers were elected:

Since 1918 five prizes and awards have been presented to seniors each year, and in 1919 one more was added. The Harry Sidney Dobbins medal, which was first awarded in 1913 by Mr. and Mrs. Harry T. Dobbins , is given to the boy who has best represented the school in interscholastic sports and who is notable for good sportsmanship and scholas tic standing. Two prizes, the Fred Gardner scholarship medal and the senior prize which is offered to the boy or girl who best represents the ideals of Lincoln high chool, were established in 1917. In 191S a first prize
of ten dollars and a second prize of five dollar for the best graduation dre s made within a fixed price were offered by the Rotary Club. Mis Gertrude Jones tarted in 1919 the practice of awarding a cup to the girl who has be t combined athletics and scholar hip.

Attempting to steer away from the " old style" methods of debate as much as po ssible, Lincoln high school debater thi , year have aimed at developing pleasant and vigorous speech rather than the conventional frenzied harangue. Contact with the audience , clear and logical anal ysis, and extemporaneous delivery ma y summarize what member of the squad have set as their goals for the year.
During the early part of the season, a 2 to I decision was lost to U nive{ it y Place on a proposition which was used throughout the season, "Resolved, that Congress should submit to the several states a new child labor enactment." Meanwhile University Place continued unbeaten through the majority of the contests of the season; and , while Lincoln did the same, and has won unanimous decisions in every case , the percentage report till placed the Jack on high team at the top. Should the uburban team lose a debate , then another debate between Lincoln and themselves would be scheduled , to decide the championship.
Perhaps the greatest achievement of the Lincoln team was the progress made at the Midland College invitation debate tourney held in Fremont, February 23, 24 and 25. Entering the meet with practically no material save a few notes, the team fought its way by extemporaneous speeches through the preliminaries of the tourney and went to the finals , where it lost to Blair by a 2 to I decision.
ixteen team entered the tournament and the Lincolnites drew Iorfolk in the first round. Winning over the northeast ebraska champions by a 2 to I decision, they went into the second round, where they completed the preliminaries b y defeat i ng Beatrice by another 2 to I decision. In the semi-finals Hastings, the team which put Lincoln out last year, was defeated by a 2 to I count; but in the finals as mentioned before, the locals lo t.
The general conduct of the Lincoln team was praised by officials throughout the three-day period, and as the tournament broke up on the morning of Saturday, February 25, John D. Hansen, debate coach , was given a farewell from Midland college with the words: "You have gentlemen on your team".
The members of the team at the tournament were Meredith elson, a debater of two years experience; Edwin Faulkner, a former reserve team man; and John Edwards, a one-time orth Platte high chool debater. Thi~ group made up the regular team. Elwood Thompson and Leonard elson attended the meet as alternates.
In addition to the five debaters named above, orman Malcolm, Paul Calhoun, Gordon Wyland, Grayce Pechous, Ruth Grossman and Louise Pearson ere members of the squad. During the latter part of , the season two econd teams composed of non-
OISff
Mr. Hansen Pechous Pearson Grossman Calhoun
L. Nelson Edwards M. Nelson Faulkner
regulars were- formed. Paul Calhoun, Gordon Wyland, Elwood Thompson and orman Malcolm formed a reserve team, while Grayce Pechous, Louise Pearson and Ruth Grossman made up the girls team.
The season was opened early in December when Lincoln journeyed to Omaha and met Omaha Tech in debate. Two debates with Omaha Central in Lincoln followed, and two with Havelock. During the week after Chri$tmas little was done concerning outsiqe debating, for the members of the team concentrated their efforts in studying various phases of debate work.
ext came debates with Fremont, Ashland, Plattsmouth and Hebron, as well as the lamentable University Place debate - the only reverse of the season. Other teams which Lincoln met during the season were as follows: Beatrice, Raymond, Wesleyan Prep, Hastings, Norfolk, Blair, Crete, Pleasant Dale and Sutton.
The majority of those on the squad were graduated, but Elwood Thompson, Paul Calhoun, Gordon Wyland, orman Malcolm and Ruth Grossman were left to carry on.

The art club was organized in I 920 to promote and stimulate interest in art among the students of Lincoln high school. Frequently speakers interested in art, talk at the club meetings and give valuable suggestions to the would-be Raphaels.
At one of the meetings the members exhibited their own work. Some of the best pieces were placed in the trophy cases and on the bulletin boards in the front hall. The individual Christmas cards, the pastels and the pencil sketches have also aroused much interest.
A picturesque party was held in the spring, for which the members dressed in costumes typical of students in an art school.

The chemistry club is one of the oldest organizations in high school. Through its influence more students are becoming interested in chemistry every year.
The meetings, always instructive, have been made exceptionally interesting this year by the lectures and experiments of several university professors. The talk given by Professor Haney proved most diverting, as did his astonishing experiments with liquid air.
The chemistry club , in serving refreshments after the meetings, has established a custom which several of the other clubs have adopted. One may become a member by attending three meetings.

To foster and promote public speaking in Lincoln high school, the Forum was founded in 1917. This year, however, the club has extended its activities over a wider field. Members have been sent to speak before civic organizations, and some of them entered the state declamatory contest. Interscholastic public speaking contests were also promoted by the club this year. A silver loving cup called the Faulkner contest cup was presented to the Forum by E. J. Faulkner. It will have engraved upon it the names of the winners in inter-Forum contests.
Each Forumite is expected to contribute something to the meetings, which makes the programs and discussions lively. The club holds annuall y a party, a banquet, a picnic and a mock senate or a mock trial.

The girls athletic association promotes girls athletics, develops good sportsmanship and combines health with fun. Any girl who has earned one hundred points in after school sports, is eligible to membership. The number of points required to win an L was lowered from one thomand to six hundred this semester. This should stimulate a greater desire among the girls to win a letter.
The G. A. A. members take an active part in all school projects. They presented two assemblies and a stunt for joy night this year. They also sold candy at the football and basketball games, at the olympics and during second lunch. A large part of the proceeds from these sales was given over to the wall fund.

The household arts club, whose name clearly denotes its character, joined the home economics association this year, an alliance which will probably prove valuable to the girls who are interested in the domestic arts.
At Thanksgiving and again at Christmas time the members prepared baskets of food and gathered clothing, which they gave to needy families. Candy and popcorn sales were held regularly, and the profits donated to the wall fund.
Their efforts are not entirely spent on charitable projects, for social meetings and parties are held occasionally, as well as instructive meetings at which persons interested in household arts, speak. Any girl who has tak en a subject in the household arts department is elig:ble to membership.

About five hundred years ago there were groups of players traveling about Europe who were known as mummers because they practiced pantomime only. The dramatic club of the high school adopted their name but not their principles, for the spoken drama is highly endorsed and carried on by the Mummers. Membership is determined either by try-outs in the form of readings and pantomimes, or by one's having had a part in a play.
In keeping with their custom of offering a drama annually, the Mummers this year presented a three-act play entitled The Romantic Age. In addition to this, two assemblies and a sketch for joy night were prepared and given.
The Dyspeptic Ogre and The Valiant, one-act plays, were given as special features at two of the meetings. At a farewell party given for members who wer·e winter graduates, a covered dish supper prepared by the girls of the club, was served.

The musical society of Lincoln high school is known as the Orpheons. The name is derived from that of the Greek god of music, Orpheus, who is said to have charmed all living creatures. Although the Orpheons make no claim to such qualities, they have some fine talent among their members.
During the last year the club has accomplished a great deal. Its members presented an assembly, .sponsored the opera and supervised the mid-year concert. All tryouts for the Lincoln entries to the state musical contest were also in the hands of the Orpheons.
Those who have belonged for three semesters to the glee club, the advanced orchestra, or the band are eligible to membership. Others desiring to join the club have the opportunity to give a musical selection before judges.

Before la st year the scenery for the school productions was built and shifted by boys who were interested in this wo~k, but there was no real organization among them. Since the formation of the stagecraft club, hmvever, this has been han1le:l by an experienced crew.
The past year has been a busy one for the club. Besides the regular scenery work , members built an arch which makes the stage appear deeper, and constructed scenery for balls and dance recitals. Room 218 was used as the club room in which properties and other stage paraphernalia were kept.
For the success of this years stage plays, some of the credit must go to the members of this club, who have made and managed the scenes with an almost professional touch. '

The student club of Girl Reserves is a high school branch of the Y. W. C. A. Its aim is "to find and give the best", and any girl in school willing to try to do this may become a member.
This year the in-coming sophomores were looked after by their student club "Big Sisters". The usual charity work was done. However, a project far more exciting than giving food and clothing to poor families was carried out. It was the adoption of a baby girl. Her many volunteer mothers provided her with a new wardrobe and are paying her expenses. The student club also sponsored a "Father and Daughter" night, presented an assembly and a stunt for joy night, and gave a party.
Some of the members attended the district convention in Omaha and seven delegates were sent to the Girl Reserve conference which was held during the summer of 1927 at Lake Okoboji, Iowa.

In the part y is an old choirmaster, Herr Franz , who is much attracted to the singer. He is about to adopt ina, but discovers that his protege is a girl, and is grieved and disappointed, for he had hoped to take this supposed boy with the unusual soprano vo ice, and train him. However , he is finally persuaded to adopt ina and he hopes to fulfill hi dream by making her a great singer.
After a lap se of several years, Herr Franz brings an opera star called Madame Gianina, who is in reality the former street singer, to ew York Cit y Here she is to sing at a party given by Mrs. Van Dare. •
The love story of the opera is made up of complications in the affair of Jack, the hero; Geraldine, his betrothed; and ina, the firefly girl.
The humor is furnished by Jenkins. His rollicking line in every act evoked convul ions of laughter.

To become a member of the advanced glee clubs is the ambition of many students, and naturally so, for in no other high school organization, perhaps, are work and pleasure so well combined.
The boys and girls glee dubs have sung together on several occasions this year. They appeared on the program of one of the vesper concerts and at the convention of the Nebraska State Teachers Association. Excerpts from the Messiah, which were sung for a Christmas assembly , were repeated for a meeting of the Nebraska as ociation of school boards and school executives. The glee clubs were also entered in the state music contest.
The girls glee club alone sang for the Greater Lincoln exposition, the Wooden Spoon and several assemblies.
At the beginning of the semester , Glen M. Case reported a shortage of tenors in the bo ys glee club. These vacancies were speedily filled, however, and the result was a well balanced chorus. The male quartet, whose members are Sidney Pepple, Richard Travis, Howard Van Sickle and Carl Frolich, were much in deman:i for a ss emblies and other programs. Dorothy Johnson is the accompanist

These days one cannot overlook the voice classes which meet three times a week. Ten girls are under the direction · of Miss Helen Stowell and the same number of boys have Mr. Case for an instructor. Although they meet as a class, they have individual help. The fundamental exercises of music are studied the Jirst semester, and the second semester is devoted to work on a repertoire. -115-
The juni o r glee clubs ha ve relatively the same p os iti o n to the advanced g lee clubs as the prep ara tor y orchestras have to the advanced instrumental organization. That is, the y afford tra"ning for the senior organizations.
However , the junior glee clubs appear more often in public than the preparatory o rchestra s . They took part in th e Chri8tmas as embly, singing D eep R fr,er by Burleigh and Sanctus by Gounod. They formed the nucleus for the chorus of tw o hundred vvhich opened the program at the mid- yea r concert. The finale, Com e to th e Fair, was pre se nted on the jo y night program by thi gro up. Glen M. Ca e d irec ts them , and the y are acccmpanied by Esther Ro se nbur y, Lois Freeman and Dorothea Morse.
The mu s ic department ha 8 a new director this year in Charles B. Ri g hter , jr. He ha been here in Lincoln high chool for nine years in the capacity of instructor of the band and orchestra, and a ttended this school before that as a student, o he is not new to the institution.
Much of the obvious success of the mid-year concert was the rernlt of Mr. Righter 's effort s The ves per concert which were presented on Sunday afternoon were arranged by him. He also had charge of the several mu sica l assemblie

From the girls glee club, two quartets were chosen the first semester, a light and a heavy one. They worked together so often and their voices blended rn well that M :ss Helen Stowell, the director, conceived the idea of combining them and forming a girl8 octet, something rather out of the ordinary.
Their initial appearance was made· in an assembly, and after that they had numerous engagements. They were on the program of the mid-year concert and also of one of the vesper concerts. They sang at Irving junior high and at the prin cipals association.
The members of the octet are Phyllis Dobson, Je8samyn Cochran, Ruth Holmes, Ruth Ridnour, Mildred Dole, Marjorie Hyde, Charlotte Peterson a d Eloi se Bradford. Harriet Daly is their accompanist.

Concentration on the scores placed before the members of the advanced orchestra and the development of better technique and interpretation, enabled them to master many more compositions than in former vears. Special emphasis has been placed on solo work with orchestra accompaniments th:s year. DeBeriot's concerto for the violin and Mendelssohn's concerto for the piano were among those of a difficult nature. The Londonderry Air arranged for the oboe and bassoon, two uncom~on instruments, was played for several programs.
The national high school orchestra, which met in Chicago during the week of April 16, drew two representatives from the advanced orchestra, both of whom took first honors in their respective sections. Royce Miles, who plays the bassoon, a11d Abraham Hill, viola, were the successful contestants.
Talent in the orchestra is not confined to these t wo, however. According to \Villiam Larson of Iowa State College, who has been giving a series of tests · to high school orchestras all over the country, the Lincoln high school organization is at the head of the l:st. These tests, which are nationally known, embrace rhythm, time, pitch, and tonal memory.
Previous to this vear, it had been customary for the band to play for local l 1rncheon clubs. How~ver, since it had so many engagements to fill this year, Will French, principal, suggested that the orchestra assume thi s undertaking. The Rotary, Lions and Optim sts clubs made appreciative audiences for these concerts.

The band has become such an essential part of school life th at it is -hard to conceive of high school without it. Seen on the auditorium stage, it has come to mean assurance of a lively assembly or rally; at football games and other athletic contests, its pre5ence is indispensable. A large part of the music for the mid-year concert was furnished by this organizatipn.
However, the band does not devote all its energies to activities about school. This year it has played for the state high school executives meeting, the Greater Lincoln exposition and the combination band concert led by Sousa.

Consideration of the needs of the band and orchestra ha5 led to the formation of two preparatory orchestras in which pupils are apprenticed for the advanced work. The instruments in the various .sections are not perfectly balanced, but this is not essential, because the preparatory classes are primarily for training in technique and interpretation. Here one may also learn the art of conducting, for students assist Mr. Righter in directing the orchestras. These organizations join in ,provi ding music for the plays which are given throughout the year.

The O rpheon , in pre enting the eleventh annual mid-year con:ert, were even more ambitious than in former year , for the number given were much more difficult than those attempted before. ,
A choru of two hundred voice sang first under the direction of Glen M. Case. This group was made up of the junior glee clubs augmented b y members of the chorus classe~. The orchestra furni hed the accompaniment.
Fai r Ell en, a cantata by Max Bruch, was sung by the advanced glee clubs as the principal part of the program. olo parts were taken by member of the glee clubs. Again, the orche tra accompanied them. Three election were sung by the girls glee club, with Mi s Helen Stowell directing.
The latter half of the program was devoted almo~t wholly 'to in trumental music After an intermi s:on the band reopened the program with the Bridal Rose overture by Levallee, which was followed by Con A more by Beaumont. The girls octet ang a group of ongs.
The Lincoln high chool orchestra concluded the program with :Mozart's Marriage of Figaro, the dance suite from H e nry VI II and A 7.Je 111arie by Mascagni , in which Don Abbott played the solo part on his cornet.
Lincoln high ~chool entered even groups of contestants m the sta te music contest this year, the maximum number which any sc h ool may send. Two of these events were olo and the remaining five were group work.
Don Abbott who played the trumpet, and Sydney repple who sang a tenor · solo, were chosen by try-out. The group entries were the girls octet and girls glee club, both directed by Miss Helen Stowell; the boys glee club, with Glen M. Case as director; and the band and advanced orchestra, both under the direction of Charles B. Righter, jr.
The solo events were held on Friday, iay 4, in Morrill Hall, and group events were conducted aturday in our audi torium.
Now from her ocean couch Aurora springs
And with her rosy morning smile, cloud-spattered dawn he brings.
But in half-built Karthage by the Tyrian sea
The huntsmen and youths were up before she.
And down by the gates, t he chosen escort
The nets, snares and spears they carefully sort.
Nor of the yelping, keen -scented hounds is there lack
And the Massylian hon:emen dash ahead with the pack.
Most noble personages at the palace await
Pretty Queen Dido - for, of course, she is late!
In purple and gold, her charger cavorts
And champs at the bit! - and kicks! - and snorts!
At last the Queen comes. Who can but admire
Her embroidered cloak - her wondrous attire?
Her hair is fastened wi t h a bauble of gold
And a rich, regal garment does Dido enfold.
And then from the midst of his Trojan allies
Aeneas, the gallant, the handsome, the wise,
Strides forth with stately mien and grace
And as companion to Dido by her s:de takes his place.
-Translation from Virgil's Aeneid
A hush pervades the sleeping world,
The last faint stars of night are gone
Save one, which glrams in splendor in the glorious sky.
The soft, sweet t witter of birds is heard,
A soft breeze stirs from over the hills,
And up from other worlds the sun doth rise aflame.
-Ardeth P ierce, '28
.My father was born on a farm in ebraska. His boyhood was spent working in the southern part of the s tate, either along the l\llissouri bottoms or a very few miles west. Those were the days when bushwhackers crossed and recro ssed the river, hiding in the bluffs by day and rustling cattle and horses by night. Occasionally even a band of Indians would camp up the river or across the country, stealing livestock, begging, drink"ng and gambling. Those were the days when real adventure was possible; when great herds of cattle were driven across the plains, along the river, or fed upon stock ranges which are now the center of the richest farming country in the world.
When my father was little more than a boy, he spent many l ong , mon otonous hours in the saddle on a cow-pony, driving cattle across the country to be fattened and butchered. That was hard work then, but it y ielded the adventures which we so love to hear.
One incident in particular comes to my mind. It happened when my father and some others were driving a herd of Texas steers to Peru. The two hundred and fifty steers in the herd were being driven along the last lap of their journey from Trxas, to be fattened in the Peru bottoms.
Anyone who has had anything to do with the regular, old-fashioned Texas steers knows that two hundred and fifty steers meant five hundred long, hook-end horns. He also knows that every herd has its lead steer, one who seems to be commonly recognized as the leader of the herd and the determiner of its actions. He generally walkc•d at the head of the herd, guiding its direction. Where he went the herd followed ; what he did, the herd did likewise. If he chose to start trouble, the whole herd helped him; if he chose to act like a gentleman, the herd acted like a group of gentlemen. In every respect the lead steer was an influential fellow. Some steers could be trained or roped so that they did most of the work of the dr ivers, hut others had nasty dispositions.
Of course, to drive such a herd it was necessary to have plenty of men. In open country two men rode at the head of the herd, the others surrounding the sides; but the country my father traversed was fairly well settled. Accordingly, a man rode about two miles ahead of the herd to clear away all dangerous obstacles or anything which might start a stampede. He also decided upon stopping places for the night.
Early one afternoon, the drivers having lunched, the herd was started on the afternoons journe y As usual, a man had gone ahead to clear the way. He had gone but a few miles when he saw close to the road a small, square house built halfway into the side of a steep bluff. Around the house were many hives buzzing with bees. Behind the house a line of clothes fluttered gaily in the breeze and shimmered in the bright sunlight. Dutifully the driver turned his horse and rode up to the house. A knock on the door brought out an old gray-haired Irish woman.
"Pardon, lady," began the driver, "but there's a herd of about two hundred and fifty steers gonna pass here in a few minutes, and it'll be dangerous to leave your warsh on the line."
"Wot?" cried the old woman. "Ye stand thir an' till me ta tak' in me own warsh? Me a free an' independent woman? Git the likes of yez out o' here an' I'll hear no more from yez ! Ye'll kape yer coos on the road, an' thir's an end to it. "
Try as he would, the driver could not dissuade the old woman. So it was that a short while later the herd topped the last bluff. 0w it had advancd too far to be stopped. The lead steer had sighted the clothes flapp"ng in the wind and he was making a beeline for them. Behind him rushed the herd.
What was to be done? The lead steer had apparently gone crazy over the clothes, and so had .the herd. To try to head them off would be like lying down
in front of a steam roller, and there was no way to scare them. It seemed that there were only two possibilities: to hoot the iead steer, or to wait for the herd tu start milling and then rope the leader. It was impossible to shoot the leader, for he was lost to sight in the dust and s"·irl of horns and hoofs. The only thing to do \Vas to wait.
The herd made short work of the clothes and having had that sport, they started milling. They spread out into a wide circle, dashing around and around the yard and home. Gradually, as the mass of hoofs beat down everything before it, the circle closed in, growing smaller and mailer. With a crash the first bee-hive went over. Then the second followed, and the third, and so on. Crazed by thousands of bee-stings, the milling herd grew madder than ever, running faster and faster, roaring closer and closer to the little house where the old woman was concealed inside. Suddenly there was a bump, then another, and finally a veritable rattle as the horns of the steers banged and tore against the corners of the house. Splinters flew as the corners were rounded off and the siding was ripped loo se.
Then suddenly a short, fat figure appeared on the "little porch. The enraged old woman was violently waving a broom and frantically screaming her curses. Every bit of self-control had left her, and now she was almost insane. In a wild burst of anger she lifted her broomstick and brought it down with a terrific whack upon the back of the steer.
Quick as light the steer stopped his flight, and with a jerk threw himself straight at the hysterical old woman. Thud! came the impact. Was she dead? o ! There she stood untouched, waving her broom at the head of the maddened steer who had m=s ed her and was pawing the ground, twisting his head desperately, and trying to unhook his horns from the posts which supported the little porch-roof overhead.
Yes, it was he! It was the lead steer! And the snakey black noose was tightening around his head and one horn. That ended the affair, for the herd was soon headed for the road once more. The old Irish woman stood on the porch, stili screaming her cruses.
Moral? Well, I suppose that if this story has a moral, it is that when God made ugly tempers in human beings, He also made ugly horns on Texas steers.
-Meredith elson, '28
A bit of sunsh=ne, a bit of rain
A bit of gloom, and the sun again, Then up from earth, a flowered array. And this we call "An April day."
The song of the bird, · the hum of the bee, The buzz of the fly, the buds on the tree, The smell of the loam, the perfume of grass; All this sweet April will bring to pass.
A 10bin's nest here, a wee wren's there, The flicker's hammer, and the catbird's dare, The thrill of joy in the meadowlark's lay; All this we have in an April's day.
The patter of rain, and the thunder's roar, The lightning's flash, and the swift downpour. And the sun tries in vain to hide away, But he can't resist an April's day.
-Alice Geddes, '27
"What is o rare as a day in June?" To me that que tion is not hard to answer-it' a night in January, a night .when the wind is trong and getting stronger, when the snow is deep and getting deeper, when the air is cold and getting colder, and I am upstairs in my study, sitting before the large tone fireplace, watching the flame leap into the air, being fascinated by the glow of the coals beneath the logs, hearing the music, the shuffle of feet , the shreds of laughter which float up from below, and occasionally stroking my big Newfoundland dog, who i stretched out on the hearth and made lazy by tne heat of the fire.
As I \Vatch the dog respond to the heat, I begin to feel it effects; it makes me dream. I think of the times I have been on the warm sand of Long Beach, California; of how, on our first trips, I u ed to build and town 'out of the warm moist sand; later, of the surf boards. How I did enjoy riding behind the motor boat s ! It would go very nicely for a while, but then, feeling triumphant, I would bet the driver of the boat that he couldn't throw me off. And he would make a harp curve and I would go down under the cool water and come up sputtering and trying to get him to come back for me, so that I wouldn't have to swim to shore. I think of the times I have sat in a steamer chair on the yacht, the un beating down on me while I watched the fleecy clouds float across the blue sky or the flags on a near-by vessel gently waving in the breeze.
I slowly come out of these thoughts, and feeling too hot, I move over by the window and watch the snow, driven by the wind. I think of days of tramping in the wood, of nights of sitting close to the big campfire, hearing the men talk a little of game they shot and more of what they almost shot. I watch the flames leap far above my head and break among the tree tops. I can hear the men singing the •campfire song , loud , joyous, happy, carefree, trying to drown out the howl of the winds. The fire dies down, and we roll up in our blanket and sleep before the glowing coals. When we awake in the morning, our blankets are covered with snow; and gee! it's hard to roll out of them! But when the colored cook threatens that those who aren't up in the next ten minutes won't get any breakfa t, we all get out in a hurry .
The sound of music takes me out of this dream, and I go over to my chair and sit down again. The orchestra downstairs starts to play Home Sweet Home. It recalls many last dances. The last dance is always the best dance of the evening. I think of one time especially-of a large ship, or a great moon, of two blue eyes; of the ship's orchestra breaking from the chords of the Last rV altz to the first notes of Home Sweet Home; of the men in their dress su : ts, of the women in their gay dresses; of the soft lap of the water on the sides of the ship, of one girl, of the great mo c n, of two blue eye , of--, but the door lams downstairs, and I'm again out of my dreams.
It i getting late; the party i over; the glow of the coals from the fire is very warm; my mind goes back to the hot and , to the roaring campfire, to the la t dance, and I go to slumberland.
-WilmerWilson, '28
Last night it rained. This morning we enjoyed a beautiful sunrise. I watched it as the rays of light danced from roof to roof, wet by the rain. First a blending of purple and gray , slowly melting into rose, orange and yellow. Higher and higher, more brilliant and powerful each minute. How could one blame the ancients for their belief in glorious Apollo and his mighty chariot? -1 24-
I collected absence slips yesterday. What an object of admiration-or wa it only observation-I was! One might think the Prince of Wales was collecting those slips. When I entered a room it wa a signal for all eyes to be centered on me. What peculiar scraps of information I received! I hear one tea cher asking her pupils if they know the difference between Santa Ana and Santa Claus. But I may not sta y to learn the answer. I am tartled in 214 to hear that two alternate interior angles are equal. In .205 and 201 I see the poor children struggling wit h Caesar and Cicero. I too struggle to keep from laughing at their difficultie s. Haven't I experienced these? I finish m y rounds a much wiser per so n than before.
Yesterday I saw a puddle of water in the street where some indu strious person had been washing a car. The water had trickled along the curbing for a block or more. I thought how this is like the things we say or do. The y may be tri v ial things , but sometimes they travel farther and wider than we ever dream. Some mention of a friend or acquaintance ma y develop into gossip and finally reach the ears of that person himself. Our thoughts trickle from one thing to another , like water, following the line of least resistance.
There is nothing prettier and nothing more depressing than leaving dock on a large trans-Atlantic steamer. The boat is literally tied to the dock by the mass of v aricolored confetti. Everyone appear gay and happy, but in each heart is that awesome feeling which comes to one setting out on a voyage acros the water. As the ste ::i.mer slowly moves out, the confetti falls and floats on the tumbled waters. On the dock are waving hats , scarfs and handkerchiefs , till finally the boat drops out of s ight.
The smoke stack in the distance stirs one's imagination. Through the mind come thoughts of the "Big Berthas" with which the Germans u ed to shell Paris. Out of the blackened end, smoke is slowly drifting as if but a few minutes before a projectile had speeded on its way.
The north field from room 203 resembles the bird's eye view of a baldheaded man. At one corner the baseball infield might well be the bald spot on the head. Around this is the grass, which the gy mnasium and after-school sport classes ha v e pl ay ed on until it is brown and bare in spots. This is that part of the head of hair vvhich is growing thin. At the ede:es is the fre sh green grass. We shall call this the ha i r which bald headed men still have around the ears and on the back of the head.
I am in library. I have so man y studies to do that I shall do none of them. Let m e look around instead.
There are many lamps springing out of the ceiling; each looks like a huge censor in the temple of a pagan god. Or at least that is probably what they would • look like, but it is hard to conceive of pagan gods in library.
The drab colored book racks around the room are filled too neatl y with threadbare, uninteresting looking books - books that seem uncomfortable and uneasy, as though the musty knowledge behind their battered covers is preparing to revolt at last, and to burst from the worn bindings in a mad helter-skelter of letters, words , frontispieces and diagrams.
There is a sort of perpetual rustling of papers and fluttering of leaves and scratching of pens -a dry, look-it:up-in-the-reference-books - library sound, vaguely reminiscent of elderly elders disapproving of mischievous boys who titter in church.
Behind the oaken desk, the librarian's assistant is pasting. Alwa ys, she seems to be pasting - as though condemned to a pasty purgatory. The odor of paste per-1 2 5-
meates the air so realistically and thoroughly that one is positively carried back to the "cut ;em out and stick 'em in" period.
Chairs scrape discreetly on the floor - someone cough - a noisy silence prevails - truly - a rubber-tipped paradise.
And the students? A few timid and · harassed boys and girls numbly finger Rritannica or Who's Who. And the rest - some tudy, some seem to study - and others only look blankly bored.
A huge gray stone house, the home of my great-grandmother who is still alive, stands on one of Omaha's highest hills. The house itself, its furnishings and its occupants tell of old friends, of quaint grandeur, and make one dream of gay parties and stately weddings.
My great-grandmother often tells of happenings that took place many, many year ago and gives vivid pictures of the joyous days this old house once knew. And there are other things in the house that tell me of long ago days. The huge square piano, made of ebony, is a reminder of the family's one musician, who now lives in • another cay. The grandfather's clock with its melodious chime sings of happy hours in better times; a small room filled with pictures of wedding parties, young men in uniforms and other people, bring memories of the past; the carved mahogany furniture and woodwork in the dining room, the rare old china, cut glass and silver are reminiscent of many grand feasts and merry-makings.
But with the passing years, times have changed. Younger members of the large family have moved away or married, and older ones have died at various times. For many years the old house has seen very few entertainmentsJ none of them so elaborate or large as those of former years. The life of the household moves on qu~etly and uneventfully.
However, history repeated itself when on Christmas eve of 1927, once again the old house opened its massive doors to admit many friends, both old and new. The great hallway with its panelled walls rang with happy voices; there was a clatter of feet upon the shiny stairs; the yellowed keys of the old piano sang once more. The beautiful old linen and long-unused china were set out on the dining table in preparation for the Christmas feast. Upstairs, young girls again posed before the large mirror in the hall. Their light feet ran over the worn carpet and their high heels clattered down the shiny stairs.
There was no need for memories; the whole house had come to life again.
Great-grandmother lit the yule log in the old stone fireplace which bears the inscription "O Ye Fire and Heat, Bless Ye the Lord". It has long been a family custom to light the Christmas fire each year with a piece of the yule log which has been saved from the year before. Oh, I hope there will be a thousand more gatherings in the old house! One can't really live on only memories.
0 my Soul! Hear that you may know What vanishing delights are ours. Live! Because the youth will go And the fresh blossoms will be withered flower:,. Quickly speed the arrow from the bowOh, sad that ecstacy should be ~easured into hours!
Another joyous joy night - the fourth annual one - was held, in defiance of the fates, on Friday, April 13, and again on Saturday; and contrary to superstition, both performances were highly successful.
In a prologue prepared by the all girls league a circus crier urged everyone to come to the entertainment about to begin under the "big top" where a snake charmer, a dancing elephant and a strong woman were side show attractions.
The Show Boat, with Verne Fanton as the skipper, cast anchor for the evening, and offered divertissement in the way of song and dance. Alfred Lee, no other than Sydney Pepple, sang a solo following several numbers by the senior boys quartet. A chorus of dancing girls was led by Dorothy McKenzie, who concluded with a clog dance. John Wink was the hard-working, black faced handy-man-around-the-boat.
A combination potato peeler and safety razor was fluently advertised by Meredith Nelson in a curtain act given by the Forum. This high-powered salesman "sold" his helpless friend Rastus, otherwise known as Elwood Thompson.
One of the cleverest and most ingenius acts of- the evening was a puppet show written and managed by Wentworth Fling. In this playlet, entitled A Pipe and a Smile, one marionette juggled balls and another executed a lively dance.
A rattling good skeleton dance by Frances French opened the G. A. A. act, in which Jean O'Hagan and Dallis Maycock performed as French dolls. Seventeen sailors displayed their gymnastic powers by forming pyramids. As the conclusion of their stunt, they formed the letters L. H. S.
Humanizing history was the aim of the faculty act, a dramatization of The Jltlidnight Ride of Paul Revere. The heroic Paul, none other than our principal, Will French, set out astride his trusty steed (W. Harold Browne fore and Arvid Johnson aft) to spread the alarm. The vigilance of the • traffic cops caused him much con:ern. He held lightly all warnings of danger ahead until he was informed that Officer Gross was on duty in Concord, whereupon he thought it best to go home.
Madelyn Brown represented home room 2 q. by a military clog dance given as a curtain act. Winning Ways of Grandma's Days were illustrated by the student club girls dressed in hoop skirts and pok~ bonnets. They gossiped over their tea cups and danced a stately minuet.
A playlet ent itled The End of the Rainbow was presented by the Mummers. Robert Garmire was the Pierrot who forsook his Pierrette, Alice Wi off, to go in search of the pot of gold. He discovered, however, that his companion was his real
trea ure. Two xylophone numbers by Frank Wilson, a piano piece by Harold Peteron, and. a vocal solo by Morris Poa~ter made up A Versatile A ct which was much applauded. Electric torche which were twirled through the air simulated Fir efiies, the name of the Hi-Y stunt. Half a dozen Arabian shiek displayed their talent in tumbling. They performed some rather remarkable feats, uch as making fancy dive and flips from a springboard. Porter Cannon, repre~enting the L club, gave, ingle handed, a playlet, Mince Pie. By donning a derby , he became the hero; a girl' gaudy straw hat made him the heroine; and the part of the villain wa achieved by pulling on a small felt hat. Porter proved to be a real rapid-change artist.
The Fair, given by the junior glee clubs, concluded the program. Paul Miles played Joshua , the unfortunate farmer who wa dominated by his wife, Mirand a (Gerald Wilkerson). A jazz orchestra conducted by Donald Abbott played a few numbers, and then accompanied Don Tucker and Henr y Keller,. who gave a clog dance. A quartet consisting of Carl Michel , George Green, Robert Teten and Forrest pieler sang K e ntucky Blues. Evelyn and Lorraine Coffman sang A Shady T rn and A Tin Pan Parad e The grand finale, Com e to the Fair, terminated the show.
A bank of fairy clouds Piled deep in an opalescent sky. Fleecy white; the y are hrouds For flowers that drooped; they did not die.
Flaming, crimson; the sun
Stains each cloud, in passing hours, A million colors-every one With the glory of the flowers.

"The greatest football season played by the greatest football team thus far claimed by Lincoln high school" was the praise bestowed upon the Red and Black gridsters of the 1927 season. Factors which were responsible for the top heavy scores piled up by the Lincoln machine were the work of a backfield which - apparently slashed the tackles, plunged the line, and circled the ends for long gains at will, and the aid of a fighting line which provided gap:ng holes in the enemy's defense, and formed a barrier through which but two touchdowns were scored, both being made by the powerful Waite high.
Working with clock-like precision, this team crumpled all its opponents, winning eight consecutive victories and with them the strongest claim to the mythical Nebraska state high school championship.
At the beginning of the season a difficult problem faced the squad as to who would fill the many vacancies left by the graduated players. However, the six letter men who had returned and the wealth of young giants from the second team striving for regular berths solved the problem. Realizing the task before them, the men of the squad drilled hard, charged the sled a little faster, and smashed the tackling dummy a little harder, thinking always of the corning games ·with Waite high, Omaha Tech, Grand Island and other strong opponents.
A muddy field, which was the scene of the opening game, played at Columbus, did not slow the attack of the Links, who started the season with a rush by piling up 26 points to the Discoverers' o. In the first five minutes of the battle the Red and Black team forced its way to a touchdown. Lincoln smashed across the goal line two more times during the first half. Throughout the second period the battle waxed hot, and although the Links scored another touchdown, they were actually outplayed by the Columbus youths who lacked on one occa ion just the final scoring punch, when a counter by them appeared inevitable.
Because of the muddy playing field the true ability of the Lincoln gridsters remained unrevealed. They immediately settled down to strenuous training in preparation for the corning conflict with the highly touted '\Vaite high of Toledo.
In one of the years greatest games Lincoln met the Zornrnen, and after terrific battering back and forth, the fighting Links pulled out ahead 3 I to I 3. This score is a poor indication of the actual power of the Ohioans. Their hard, lowcharging backfield worried the home team considerably. Several ,times they drove -133-
their way deep into Lincoln terr : tory. The wcnderful ability of the Links, on the other hand, to form perfect interference ,Yhich consistently ~o,ved down the opposing defense, wa more than the young ea ~terners were able to fathom. The Lincoln forward wall charged so rapidly that the visitors were often downed in their tracks.
In the fourth quarter Waite launched a remarkable pas ing attack, worthy of a college team , and countered two touchdowns before Lincoln realized what wa happening. As the mo t trenuous, the hardest fought, and cleanest played game of the eason the Waite game will be remembered by the Lincoln players. The boys from Toledo proved themselves to be sportsmen of the highest order, and the Lincoln fans hope that future encounters ma y be held between the two teams.
The following week the you ng Brownie journeyed to the York battlefield. After meeting stubborn resistance during the fir t half the Link came back full force and completely routed the Y orksters. It marked the twenty- sev enth "ictor y for Lin oln over York in as many meetings. Believing the ju~ior Cornhuskers were overconfident because of the deci £ive defeats thev had dished out to former teams , Coach Gautch 's men had planned to upset the dope bucket and take the second city bo ys into camp. They succeeded very well during the first half, allowing the Links to place the pigi: k in beh:nJ their goal l:ne but c n :e Having spent their strength, the York eleven then weakened. The L i nks came back with blood in their eyes in the , econd half and scored a quartet of touchdowns , made possible b y the whole Lincoln team funcfoning in perfe ct style.
Headed by Captain Stone, Crete made its first invasion of L:ncoln soil for a football contest. The Links again met stiff opposition during the first half, but as before reached their stride in the second canto and piled up 38 points. Taking advantage of the sweltering heat the Brownies gradually wore down their opponents with battering line charge , breaking into brilliant end and open field runs. Crete remained in a fighting mood to the final whistle, however , and was a prickly threat throughout the game.
Beatrice next acted as host to the Lincoln eleven on October 29, and received a sound drubbing largely at the hands of the Lincoln shock troops which started and played most of the game. In the last minute of play the first str:ng was sent in and tallied two touchdowns, showing the powerful offensive ·which the Lincoln team possessed. Beatrice 's backfield attempted to penetrate the Lincoln defense, but the effort was unsuccessful, for the Red and Black backfield ran amuck over and through the opposing team.
Omaha Tech was next to meet the ever victorious Links, who cuut inued on their rampage, sco ring three touchdowns in the last h:ilf after a scoreless opening canto. The giant Maroon forward wall baffled the Red and Black during the first half, but Lincoln came into its own early in the third quarter. Displaying the power of their clever offense, the Brownies retained almost constant possession of the ball. In the econd half when the Links alway appear to be stronge t, they amassed sixteen first downs to their opponent ' four, reeling off over two hundred yards to their opponents' sixty.
In polishing off the orfolk aggregation, their next opponent, by a score of 59 to o, the team again displayed the same powerful drive which had characterized its even consecutive triumphs. The re~erves, who started the game and played all the fir t and third quarter , were far superior to the orfolk representatives. The regular were n e t needed to roll up a large score, but they were given a good taste of action in order to be primed for the final game.
Lincoln had been pointing the entire season toward the final game which was to be played with Grand I land , the only stumbiing block of the '26 team. \Vith a determined spirit of revenge they swept the third city youths from the list of undefeated teams and clinched the mythical ebraska state championship. •
During the opening period the representatives of Grand Island forted the Link far back into their territory , and for the first time dur:ng the season the Red and
Black was fighting with its back to the wall. But the never-die spirit for which Lincoln football team are famou prevailed, and the Links fought their way for~ard, tur1:1ing the tide of battle. In the second half the visitors taged a brilliant lme-plungmg attack '.vhich caused concern in the Lincoln camp for a short time , but the rally was hort lived. The final score was 26 to o in favor of the home team.
The first team understudies, commonly known as the scrubs, played a formidable schedule and handled it like veterans. The reserves placed second in the Greater Lincoln League s tandings , having been defeated only by University Place .and then by a one-point margin.
Capta : ned by Joe Luchsinger, the seconds furnished opposition for the first team during the practice se sions. The "school of hard knocks" was the title bestowed upon them, because of the many bumps they receive from the first team in these nightly scrimmages. It was always with a sigh of relief that a black-jerseyed player turned in his sui t at the end of the season.
The reserves will all see plenty of service next fall , as only three of la t years team men will return. These understudies are all trained by the same method as their older brothers, the first team men, so that the following fall they are well p re· pared to step into the scarlet jerieys.

Tennis has lately tepped into the sport limelight, and regular schedules are made for the players who turn out. A tennis tournament is held at the beginning of the season and the school team is chosen from the winners. Trips to York and Omaha are usually made for dual meets with the teams of these towns.
The golf team , like the tennis team, is composed of the winners of a pre-season tournament. A regular program is made with state team s, and t golfers usually travel with the tennis squad. -135-
Moulding a group of inexperienced pla y er into a quintet to represent Lincoln high school was the task which faced Coach BrO\vne at the beginning of the ba ketball season. From the stellar team of the previou year but one veteran , George Ko ter was available. He was g-raduated at mid-year, and during the remainder of the sea on a squad composed entirel y of new men was entrusted with protecting the honoL of the Red and Black , previous state champions.
In the opening tus sel , which was pla yed with the York five , Lin co ln met little opposition. The Red and Black forwards ,vere too much for the Gaut ch aggregation and rang the hoop for counters with surpri ing regularity for such an early eason game. The Lincoln guards blanked York dur:ng the first half, allowing but one field goal to be chalked up. In the second half the Y orksters fared little better, for they made only three field goals and a free throw. The game , won by the Links, was ju st a bracer for the conflict with the Abraham Lincoln team from Council Bluffs.
The outside boys had little better luck than the Yorksters and were choked in the dust of a 23 to 18 tall y Grossman and Trott carried the brunt of the attack , scoring thirteen points. The visitors led 12 to IO at the half-way mark, but the Links found them elve as the last period progressed , and passed the visitors , keeping the lead to the end.
After successfully winning their first t,vo home games , the Links invaded foreil!n territory the following week-end. Benedict, the first to fall , presented the Red and Black cagers with a defense which was powerful during the initial period but which collaosed completely during the second half before the accurately-passing Links. Led by Trott in the scoring column, the Lincoln team appeared invincible . -The second and last destination for the week was Columbus, whose cage representatives were added to the string of Lincoln's vanquished. The Discoverers were able to tally but two free throws during the first half while Lincoln countered twelve points. Trott again led the attack with Koster and Townsend featuring in the defense. In the final canto, the hosts of Lincoln came to life and made eleven points, but the large margin rolled up by the visitor in the first half was more than could be overcome.
Crete, runners up in the '27 state tournament, had a veteran team playin~, and was the next barrier for the Links . to hurdle. Starting with a rush, the Cretans swept the Red and Black goal shooters from their feet in the opening chapter. Their veteran exper:ence was too much for the green Lincoln five, and Crete, holding its early gained lead, was ahead 16 to 11 at the final whistle. In the second half the home team out-scored their opponents. The game was largely a defensive conflict because of the small floor. The guards held the spotlight throughout the fray.
In a roug-h and tumble tussel on Frida y the thirteenth, the Brownies, still burning from the Crete defeat , braced up and gave the Centralites from Omaha a sound drubbing. In the dying minutes of the conte t several brilliant shots by the Links put them safely in the lead. Gish, playing forward, showed up in great shape and with six points was high point man of the game Haulmaun of Central gave a good account of himself and clo sely followed Gish with five points.
On January 20 and 21 Lincoln again hit the trail , th :s time headed for Omaha to tackle Creighton Prep and the Omaha Tech quintets. In the Frida y night game with Creightcn, the Links di played a clever brand of basketball. During the first half Lincoln ran rough hod over its opponents and chalked up a 12 to 4 lead In the third quarter the Prepsters came to life and scored six points, while the Vnks were able t o rate but two. In the final period the Brownies resorted to a baffiing stalling game and forged ahead into a safe margin. Carveth with his towering height was the outstanding member of the Lincoln team, his six points helping very much in several tight pinches The following evening Lincoln showed a reversal of form and was swamped under the Maroon tide of Tech. But one field goal was made by the Links
during the entire conflict and it came as a long floater by Koster made from the center of the ffoor in the opening quarter. The first quarter proved itself to be a battle and both -teams rang the basket for five points each. In the second quarter Tech added four more to it list while the Links could manage to cage but two free throws. In the econd half the Red and Black countered but two points. The Techsters making their efforts count , placed their tally at 17 points. This defeat was a bitter dose for the Links for it was the first one tasted by them from an Omaha team for several years.
The Browne men dropped a thrilling skirmish to the speedy University Place cagers by the heart-breaking score of 19 to 18. The game was very fast from start to fin ish but a rally by Baller's proteges was too much for the Brownies. It was the first game for Beany Witte and his aggres ive tactics gave the Lincoln five a fighting spirit. The Methodists, who were keyed up for this game, scored ,the first six points. Trott put the Red and Black very much in the running by sinking two field goals , and vVittstruck followed \vith another to tie the core. The Links had a four-point lead at the end of the half. In the second half the suburban team started as in the first and piled in four field goals, dazing the Links with their dazzling offense. This was too great an advantage and although Lincoln tied its opponents near the end of the game, they were unable to provide the winning punch and lost out by a one-point margin.
A trip to Council Bluffs, the purpose of which was to meet Thomas Jefferson high school, turned out to be very successful as the Lincolnites returned home with the heavy side of an 18 to 9 score In the second half Coach Browne relieved his regulars and substituted freely in order to save his men for the game on the following night. Trott and Wittstruck did the best work for their team, with four points apiece.
Back on the home court the following night, Lincoln met its second defeat of the week and the fourth of the season in a disastrous tilt with the lanky and competent Grand Islanders. The visitors played far over the Links heads from start to finish. The Brownies had the Lincoln fighting spirit, but this could not make up for the well polished attack of the third city team.
A dark cloud loomed over the Lincoln camp the following week as Omaha Tech and Crete were scheduled to invade the capital city. Crete was the first to arrive and with the Tech team witnessing the fray from the sidelines, took the Links into camp for the second time. The visitors had everything their own way the first half and commanded a la:r:ge lead at the end of this period. In the second period the Lincolnites gradually worked themselves up to a fighting pitch , and in the last quarter appeared as possible victors when they staged a short lived rally. Crete stopped this by taking time out and giving the "hot" Links a chance to cool off. Batty wa the important Lincoln man in the tilt. His guarding was con picuously effective and he scored four points.
Lincoln dropped its fourth con ecutive game the next night when the Maroon Tech ters downed them 19 to 13. Lincoln, however, played its best game of the season in this defeat and e tablished itself as a strong team. Tech scored the first four points but the Links crept up and were trailing but two points when the first half ended. A s the third quarter clo ed, the Techsters still maintained a one-point lead. Shortly after Witte put the Browne men in the lead with a field goal but Tech, after taking time out, sank three dazers in succession from the middle of the floor. Boulter not only delivered the goods in a pinch, but wa al o largely responsible for the spirit which brought the Links near to victory after the cause seemed hopeles ly lost. Witte also stood out, and with seven counters he tied with the Tech captain for high point honors.
Lincoln fan~, who were now becoming used to the taste of defeat, were not surprised when the Links dropped another game, this one to Central. Coach Browne
tried several different combinations in order to break through the Centralite's defense, but to no avail. During the first half both team decided to play cautiou ly and the game was slow, but in the second half they came to life and the metropolis youths forged far into the lead. Batty ,m s the outstanding Lincoln player; he wa high corer for the Red and Black and he displayed remarkable guarding ability.
The jinx of long standing was finally broken the following night when the Links defeated the Hastings Tiger , 16 to 15. At one time the Brownies commanded an l 1 to 4 lead and it was thought the game was cinched, but the Tigers came back \Yith an offensive which soon gave the Lincoln team plenty to worry about. While the crowd was impatiently awaiting the blast of the final whi tle, Hastings crept up until the Link ma:ntained but a one-point lead. At thi s juncture the Red and Black resorted to a deliberate stalling game and held the lead until the end.
The following ,veek the Links sent the St. Joseph team home with the low end of a 24 to 20 score. The game was the most thrilling of the season, and the crowd wa held in breathless suspense from start to finish. Trott led the Lincoln attack with 8 po :nts, and Batty and Townsend featured in the defense. "\Vith but four minutes left to play, the vi itors boasted of a , even-point lead, but the Links ,vere not willinr.:; to b~ beaten, and with the aid of free throws and under basket shots by Trott and Gross- · man, the game was tied at 20 all. In the extra period the ice remained intact until the last forty-five seconds, when Batty came through with a fairly long shot and placed the Links in the lead. Grossman then cinched the game by adding two more points just as the period ended. Good , the flashy St. Joseph captain, was the fire for his team and with 13 points, also high point man of the fray.
Lincoln took the third consecutive game the next night when they easily downed the Omaha South, 36 to 13. Grossman was hot and it seemed that all that was necessary to make points was to give him the ball, and he would be sure to ring the hoop. He scored 18 points during the fray , more than an y individual player had scored in any one game during the year. The conflict started slowly and the Links could acquire but a g to 7 lead at the half, but in the final half they scored twenty-seven points to the packers' five.
This game ended the regular schedule for the Links. During the sea on Lincoln won eleven games and lost seven.
In the first annual Cotner College tournament Lincoln placed second, losing in the final to Crete. In the fir t round of play, Lincoln met and defeated Bethany, but in a hair raising game Crete again proved itself superior to the Links and won by a two-point margin after it looked like an apparent Lincoln victory. As a reward for second place, the Lincoln players all received miniature silver basketballs to wear on their watch chains , as well as the ball which was used during the game.
In the fir t round of the ebra ka tate tourney, Lincoln , the former title holders, were snowed under by McCook, with a score of 19 to 16. This game was the biggest upset of the first round games and was a bitter pill for the Links to swallow. It appeared a if there was a magnet which drew the ball from the Lincoln basket , for time after time the Links missed et-up shots. The ball rolled about the hoop in a tantalizing manner and then lopped off on the outside. The game was not lo t becau e the Links lacked the old fighting spirit , for they were all over the floor at once.
St. Paul won the class A honors after upsetting r orfolk, Crete and Grand Island. The new ebraska champion ~ traveled to Chicago for the national tourney but lo t two games straight.
RUSSELL TROTT, forward. Rt.:ss wa the high score man of the team. He passed the ball accurately and hard and dribbled with baffiing skill. Russell has played for Lincoln for the last time.
MILTON GISH, center. Milton wa of the long, rangy type and was a first rate ball tipper, always making it possible for the team to work its tip - off play
ROY CARVETH, center. Long John was also a tall man. Roy and Gish traded off at this position. In several instances Roy was high point man of the game.
GLEN WITTSTRUCK, forward. Glen wa a ure shot man and played opposite Trott. Glen was a hard worker. He will not be back for the team next year.
LEE GROSSMAN, forward. Lee had pells when he was invincible and his shots never failed. He scored more points in one game than any other member of the team, making 19 in the Omaha South conflict.
LESLIE WITTE, forward. "Beany" alternated at the guard and forward positions, playing each with skill. Because of scholastic difficulties, he was unable to play until the second semester, when he proved to be a valuable asset to the team.
PAUL BATTY, guard. Bat was a guard of impa sable nature. On the offense he was a flashy dribbler. He will be badly missed next year.
RICHARD TOWNSE D, guard. Dick played a regular position at the beginning of the season but had a little hard luck and could not finish the eason becau e of an injury to his eye. Dick will be graduated this spring.
GEORGE HARTMA , guard. George won the 21 tournament which was held by the members of the first quad. This placed him a the most accurate shot on the team.
PAUL \VI TERHALTER, center. Zeke was graduated from the second to the first team in mid-sea on. He played regularly at center and wa a valuable as et to the team.
DUANE BOULTER, guard. Ding instilled the same fighting spirit into the basketball team that he did on the gr i diron. He went out for the team after the season wa half over and was soon given a regular position.

In their phere of basketball competition, the Lincoln reserves earned their way to a very enviable record. They were able to olace onlv third in the Lincoln league standings, but in spite of this they knocked the Aggie high school from the lofty perch cf league leaders in the final game of the sea on.
Besides giving U n :versi t y Place , the team which vanquished the Lincoln first tt'am, a bad scare on two occasions, the reserve forced Havelock to an extra period on the latter's court, but lost out in thi s chapter of the game The team repeated the performance of the previous years 'reserves, defeating the Omaha seconds by a considerable margin. They also broke even on a pair of tilts with the Crete understudies.
Pat Gillette, the high scorer of the team, wa very proficient at locating the hoop from all angles. Zeke Winterhalter, who held down a center berth on the team, was graduated to a regular position on the first squad where his services proved to be a great aid. Alden Martin, fl.ashy reserve guard, was given a position on the all league team and was an important factor in the reserve victories. The squad as a whole worked very smoothly and often gave the fir t tringers a good run for their money in the nightly scrimmage e sions.
As on the football team, these reserve players will have a chance to give an account of them~elves on the first team next year, a only one man return for the major team.

Handicapped by a shortage of letter men, the track team rated high in the standings of T ebraska schools. Forced to develop a new relay team and a number of weight men, Coach Graves' proteges gave their opponents plenty to worry about.
The squad revenged the basketball team to some degree by defeating the Omaha Techsters and Klein's Crete tracksters in dual events. In the initial meet of the season the squad lost out by a small score in the Hastings relays. As the season progressed, however, the ability of the men al o progressed.
Robert Ste 'n, ~aptain of the team, was unable to participate thi season because of his physician's order. He was reputed as being the fastest man on the team and his services were needed.

Baseball, one of the sports rapidly developing in L:ncoln high school, presented a vigorous aspect during the past searnn. Coach Overman was somewhat handicapped by the lack of material, but the season's record was nevertheless creditable to the Red and Black. The games with Omaha Tech and with Central, played in the metropolis, were the most important of the season. The Lincoln ball sluggers were also enrolled in the Greater Lincoln League
W re5tling promises to take a prominent place as a form of recreation and entertainment in t he Lincoln camp within the next few years. This year the Links easily defeated the Aggies in a dual meet and placed second in the state wrestling tournament.
The Lincoln grapplers then faced the experienced bone crushers of Omaha Tech and lost a hard fought match. Tech, the most formidable team in Omaha, won ten consecutive meet5 this year and holds the present city championship.
Under the direction of John Kellog, university wrestl:ng coach, a number of the wrestlers were tutored. These men gave a good account of themselves in the state meet, Theodore Kiesselbach taking first place in the heavyweight class. Adam Green placed second in the I 25 pound cla5s; among the I 35 pounders Ray Larson won second place, and in the lightweights Leo Ayers polled a second place.
Marian McLaren, speedy forward, was instrumental in bringing the juniors the championship in the girls interclass basketball tournament. However, without the excellent playing of the rest of the junior team, Marian could have done little. The juniors played their first game with the sophomores and captured the long end of a I 6 to 6 score in a rather slovv game.
When the third year class met the seniors, the fray promi [ ed to be a bit warmer, but the fast playing and thorough teamwork of the jun:ors established their supremacy. Naida McLaren made most of the counters for the seniors, while her sister, Marian, led the champ:ons in scoring. The final score was I 7 to I 3.
The seniors defeated the sophomores, making 22 points against the 7 of the younger class.

Before the interclass games, a color tournament was played. In this tournament, every girl who was out for basketball was on a color team. About one hundred girls registered for this most attractive of winter sports, which was coached hy Miss Lillian E. Story and M~ss Katherine Horner. Miss Marie Snavely, Mrs. Cornelia Putney and Miss Horner took charge of the interclass tournament.
The cher:shed ambition of every active G. A. A. member is to earn an L. Fifty points toward this honor are given for attending ten practices of any sport, or for hiking eighty miles during a semester. Six hundred points is the total number required for an L. Four hundred additional points win two stripes, and one hundred more an emblem, which is the highest award given. The se honors signify athletic ability, good sportsmanship and fair play.
Six girls were awarded their letters in the athletic assemblv held this fall. Mildred Gish, a basketball devotee and olympics star, Virginia Woolfolk, the senior's tavorite in hockey and soccer, Marian McLaren, a first-class athlete of the junior division, Frances French, senior track and swimming champion, and Kathleen Robinson and Dorothy Charleson, junior athletes of excellent standing, all received their L's.
Several girls completed requirements for letters in the spring. These were Bereniece Hoffman, Louise Geist, Irma Adkins, Marvel Stastney, Nancy Rife, Gladys Haagensen, Dorothy Proudfit , T aida McLaren, Helen Kaufman , Frieda Barnhardt. Jean Rathburn and Barbara Windham .
• Always keen for field sports, Bereniece Hoffman, senior, was leader in hockey and soccer. Louise Geist and Naida McLaren , the older of the invincible McLaren s i, ters, were active in basketball. Swimming brought Jean Rathburn, a fourth-year student, into prominence, while Dorothy Proudfit, a senior, preferred the Saturday hikes.
The juniors contributed three worthy players to the baseball field: Nancy Rife, Gladys Haagensen and Frieda Bernhardt, dexterous wielders of the bat. In the basketball contest for the 1928 interclass championship, the junior triumph was insured by the playing of Irma Adkins and Marvel Stastney.
• Four girls have earned their L's in previous years. Gertrude Koolen's ability as a basketball, hockey and soccer player was responsible for her award. Magdalene Lebsack, winner in the I 926 track meet, is adept in every sport, but excels in baseball. Besides her letter, she has received two stripes and an emblem. Both Gertrude Holland and Betty Willson have received their L's because of proficiency in swimming.
A new diversion in the realm of after-school sports, termed "mixed sport", was introduced this fall. A variety of games was included in the program of this class. Nearly every time the class met, the girls played a different game. Magdalene Lebsack was the leader of the group.
Sometimes the girls played a modified form of football, rules for which were worked out by Miss Lillian Story and Miss Katherine Horner, who were in charge of this new sport. •
Often the girls played soccer and many times they took short walks. Some section of Antelope Park was usually the goal of the trampers. They enjoyed the swings, slides and teeter-totters and liked to play games, but the principal attraction was the animals, which never fail to entertain.
As the autumn days drew to a close, basketball took the place of mixed sport and the other fall athletics.
About fifteen mermaids took part in the swimming meet held in the high schoql pool, November IO. Jane Foster won first place, carrying off honors in four events. Bettie Willson placed second and Virginia Foster third. Jane was first in the running front dive, and second in the 20-yard dash free style and the plunge for distance. She was also one of the winners in the class relay.
Honors in the fancy diving contest went to Bettie Willson and Jean Speiser. Bettie placed first in the back dive and the 20-yard dash side stroke. Virginia Foster was another of the winners in the class relay and was first in the plunge for distance. For form in the trudgecn she placed second.
Miss Katherine Horner an:l Miss Marie Snavely were the judges, ani Miss LilEan E. Story announcd the scores. •
About one hundred girls reported for after-school swimming practices held the first nine weeks of school. Miss Lillian E. Story had charge of the classes. She was assisted by Alice Randolph, Frances Turpin, Frances French, Bettie Willson, Mildred Richardson, Dorothy Charleson, Gertrude Holland and Frances Dowling.
Any girl who tramps eighty miles a semester receives fifty points of G. A. A. cred : t. Organized hikes, with Kathleen Robinson as leader, were held Friday evenings or Saturday mornings throughout the year. Regardless of the weather, girls with knapsacks slung over their shoulders could be seen tramping along familiar highways. One day, returning from a walk, the girls went through Gooch's mill. At the close of this expedition, the guide served cake and cookies to the hungry pedestrians.
Some of the girls covered one hundred miles or over in one semester. The majority of them, however, averaged between sixty and seventy miles. A few of the expeditions were taken by moonlight, but most of them came on Saturday mornings and afternoons.
G. A. A. points were also given for roller skating and ice skating. The roller skating season properly starts in the spring, but several girls earned credit in this sport during the winter. Although the season was not very long' this year, many earned points for ice skating. Dorothy Charleson was the lead er of this sport.
Tennis was such an attractive sport among the girls that Mrs. Cornelia Putney had to teach tennis classes four nights a week. The practices were held on the municipal courts, because as yet the school has no tennis courts. Before learning the rules of the game, the girls practiced serving and handling a racket correctly. Many of them became excellent players in the course of these classes.
In the fall a young girl's fancy brightly turn to thoughts of the ho(key 8tick and the soccer ball. About fifty girls came out for soccer, which was under the direction of Miss Lillian Storr, and thirty-five for · hockey with Miss Katherine Horner as coach. Gertrude Koolen was soccer leader and her assistants were Dorothy Thurlow and Frieda Bernhardt. In hocke y, Bereniece Hoffman and Kathleen Robinson " ·ere Magdalene Leb8ack's helpers.
At the end of an active season, tournaments were held in both of the8e sports. The soccer ccntest was completed first, and the juniors, victorious in this fray, suffered from a superiority complex ffhich , however, was properly crushed when their senior si8ters won the hocke y tournament.

Miss Marie Snavely is teaching physical education in Lincoln high school for the first time. She was graduated from this school and from the University of Nebraska, where she was awarded an N in her sophomore year for exceptionally good work in sports. Many girls have become interested in track and dancing under Miss Snavely's expert directicn.
Miss Lillian E. Storr is in charge of physical education for girls. She was graduated from Lincoln high school, and before her graduation from the U niversitv of Nebraska she won her N, whfch signifies good sportsmanship and commendable work in athletics. Miss Stor y has done a great deal in furthering interest in the G. A. A., and since she has been here the membership of the club has increased and more girls have taken an active interest in sports.
Miss Katherine M. Horner came to the girls physical education department this year from the Kansas State Agricultural College. Miss Horner received there the purple K which adorns her white sweater. This letter is a symboi of distinctive work in athletics. She was graduated from the Emporia State Teachers College. She is particularly active in field sports and has aroused he interest of many others in this sort of recreation.
Long before the beginning of the spring sports season, anyone who wandered into the gymnasium saw the jumping standards . placed before several soft mats and many girls testing their skill at the high jump. This event is perhaps the most popular of those included in the track schedule. Broad jump, relays and other track events were temporarily forgotten. Then spring, with its long sunny days, brought regular track practice to the fore, with Miss E. Marie Snavely as instructor. Twice a week on the east field one could see girls clad in spring sport clothes running relay races, leaping across the sand-filled pit which was set aside for the broad jump, and taking part in the other track activities. These sports bring thoughts of olympjcs, so many juniors and senicrs were kept busy training for participation in that great event.
"The White Sox are running!"
ever would that cry from the stands cause a Lincoln high girl to glance ruefully at her hose, for he~-e the girls, as well as the boys, are baseball-wise, if one can judge by the numbers that turned out for this sport last spring.
Vigorous workouts four nights a week were the means Miss Horner employed for getting the recruits into shape. These lively practices served to excite enthusiasm to such an extent and so to increase the batting average of the rival teams that it became necessary to hold a tournament, seniors versus juniors. Prospects seemed bright for both clubs when veteran players trotted out to the diamond. Junior fans cheered lustily as they saw Marion McLaren, Frieda Bernhardt, and Kathleen Robinson at the bat, while senior rooters rose from their seats as Louise Ge:st, Gertrude Koolen, and Mildred Gish took their places.
At the close of each sport season, it has become the custom for the G. A. A. to sponsor a feast for all who participated in the sports of that season. There are usually three such enticing events during the year. The first was held in the gymnasium when fall athletics were discontinued. Frances Dowling and Rowena Bengston were in charge of the games and contests. Prizes were won by Frances Turpin and Frances French. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing. Wieners, apples and cocoa were served by the refreshment committee. Another fete was held after the basketball season. This and the spring sports frolic both took place out-of-doors.
Dancing is a favorite after-school sport among the girls, both because of the actual enjoyment it offers and because of the benefits derived from it - good posture and a lithe, graceful body.
After school in the gymnasium one may see supple bodies swaying in unison to the crisp accompaniments of Miss Hazel O'Connor. In their many colored frocks, the girls form a veritable rainbow. These future ballet stars met twice during the week with Miss :Marie Snavely to practice the steps and the positions of aesthetic dancing. During the first semester the beginners studied Grecian dances, while the advanced class whirled to a Russian -rhapsody. Frances French assisted Miss Snavely in teaching the beginning classes.
The concession manager this year was Bereniece Hoffman, and Bereniece, ever with an eye for business, was not satisfied with selling candy at the football games only, as was the established practice. The girls sold at the basketball games, the swimming meets and during second lunch. Selling cand y during second lunch was very profitable since the girls gymnasium was open for dancing at that time, and the many girls who indulged in this recreation required candy , apples and peanuts from the concession stand in the lobby.
At the end of ea ch season , prizes were given to the girls who sold the most candy at the football and basketball games; For selling at the football games, Frances French won first prize and Betty Freeman second. Kathleen Robinson won the prize at the close of the basketball season.
•"Friendly Enemies"-that's what the juniors and the seniors were on Friday the eleventh, when they fought for the honor of their respective classes in the annual olyrnpics. It proved to be a banner da y for the seniors for they swamped the underclassmen, whose score was 22 ,½ points, with a tally of 97,½.
Starting with the baseball throw for boys which Bill Danek, a senior, won from Paul Batty, the se niors were never thr ea tened. Paul Winterhalter heaved the football about three yards farther th an Theodore Kie sselbach, giv;ng the juniors .fivr points. In the girls ba eball throw five points were garnered for the seniors when Magdalene Lebsock took first place. Marion McLaren won the girls basketball throw and the classes tied with the score standing at IO to IO.
Ralph Welsh se nt the seniors into the lead again by running away from Earl Parrot , junior entry in the forty yard dash. The girls forty yard dash was won by Magdalene Lebsock, senior star.
First place in the seventy-five yard dash was carried off by Abe ovicoff who beat out Earl Parrot by a scant ya rd. At this time the score s tood 25 to IO in the se niors' favor. Magdalene Lebsock, winning the 60 ya rd dash , had a good start toward the high point honors for the day, which she won.
A real battle was fought in the lightweight wrestling, Ray Larsen , senior, winn:ng over Adam Green with a time advantage of 3 minutes and 25 seconds. Theodore Kiesselbach won the heavyweight wrestling with a time advantage of 2 minutes over George Sauer of Gold Dust Twin fame.
The girls 60 yard shuttle rela y was assured for the eniors when a junior dropped the baton. The senior bo ys won their 75 yard relay with ease, the juniors never threatening.
Henry Bauer , the other Gold Dust Twin, put over a surprise when he gave the juniors 5 more points b y winning a decision from Harry Wuelser. Dan Swarzkoff , junior, and Theodore Kiesselback battled all over the ring. The decision was finally won by Dan.
The girls high jump went to Magdalene Lebsock and Virginia Woolfolk, seniors. Magdalene easily won the girls broad jump , piling up more points in her favor. Both the girls and the bo ys tug-o-war were won by the sen:ors.
In the lightweight battle royal, the seniors and juniors tied, giving ea c h class 2 ,½ points. The heavyweight battle royal was won by seniors, who had 2 men in the ring when time was called.
The seniors won the push rod contest with seventy-two hands on the pole against forty-eight hands for the juniors. This and other mass events are generally won by the jun :o rs.
By keeping all juniors completely away from the senior colors in the flag rush , the upp er classmen ended a victorious ol ympics. They had scord more points against their opponents than any class up to date.

Catering to all ages for almost half a century
Dr. George M. Laughlin, President, March
Twenty-third, 1927.
Kirksville College of Osteopathy and Su~gery, 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 are -0ver crowded, wasting the time and lives cf at least half the men in their ranks.
The idle or unused time of an osteopath is re- duced to a minimum. He is forced and paid to extend to the limit ~is 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 to 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 honest with himself and with his clientele.
Fraternally yours, S/W VAN
B. SMITH.

Many's the day I've dreamed of you , Sometimes it has seemed I should almost die Many are the times I've thought If you didn't come to my aid; How nice it would be if you were with me, Or when I see you could be with me , To help me exist when it's hot. If only my money I'd paid. _
How often I sit all by myself, And think of this wonderful dream. ow you may learn for what I yearnOh for a dish of ice cream!

A certain woman who felt heavily the weight of years and upon whom was placed the cognomen of Mother Hubbard once ventured into the immediate vicinity of a cubicle especially de5igned for the preservation of various foods in order that she might obtain for her domesticated carnivorous quadruped, species unknown, an ossified substance, called in everyday parlance a bone. -
But when this certain woman who felt heavily the weight of years, and upon whom was bestowed the cognomen of Mother Hubbard arrived in the immediate vicinity of the cubicle especially designed for the preservation of various foods, it was quite devoid of any food materials whatever.
So the domesticated carnivorous quadruped was forced to forego the pleasure of fletcherizing and masticating the ossified substance, called in everyday parlance a bone, and the woman who felt heavily the weight of years and upon whom was bestO\ved the cognomen of Mother Hubbard was indeed extremely agitated and remorseful.

The better one understands life, the harder it is to understand.

Nothing is so fatal to a wish as to have it granted.
