IN MEMORIAM

In life we find some people whose ideals and practices inspire us and brighten the world for us. Occasionally it is not unt:l they are gone that we find we have not valued to the full the worth of their influence upcn us. Then we look about us with a saddened and more appreciat"ve eye to gather in gl:rnpses of the beauties of mind, character and spirit which we might otherwise miss. During the p1 s t nine months Lincoln high school has lost three teachers. By paying tribute to their memory we are preserving the dignity of a finer duty.

MR. J. C. DONALDSON

To those who knew him Mr. Donaldson was a kindly man of unusual ability, an eager and interesting conversationalist and a pleasant friend. His mind was quick to grasp a situation and his human:ty equally quick to remedy one. As a teacher his keenness in understanding the logic that appeals to a high school pupil rewarded him with gratifying results for the fourteen years he taught in the mathematics department. As a man his quiet unobtrusive ways and his read ·ne~s to help others, notwithstandini?; hi own many duties, brought him the respect and love of those who worked with him. It was as he himself modestly said when he lay on his bed in the hospital with his hand behind ·h ·s head and a briirhtness in his eyes, "Yes, I suppo e when a person has been employed in a school as long as I have, he can't be out without being missed-some." But that "some" means a great deal.

MRS. LOUISE S. WESTERMANN

It seems that death, in choosing at random among us, too often carries away a person whose loss is the loss of a worthy example an::l the vanishing of a steadfast character. It leaves a vacancv in our lives where once stood the presence upon which we had learned to depend. Mrs. Westermann each semester taught more than two hundred girl in her home nursing work, where she helped them not only "to develop a healthier type of girlhood, but," as Miss Olivia Pound said of her) "through her radiant personality and rare good taste, she influenced the girls who came in contact with her to appreciate some of the finer things of life." To quote Mrs. Grace G. Hyatt: "I hall always see her as she wallred down the hall on her la t day in schoolshe walked out of life with a radiant smile."

MISS BIRDIE SCOTT

Studying and knowing her students, she worked out methods which, although perhaps not entirely agreeable to them, were signally successful. Content, she continued working out her ideas until the very end On a Thursday she arranged with a substitute to take up her work, stood a moment before her students in her second period hi tory class and, when they looked up from their studY:ng, said, "I've got it,"meaning, of course, the influenza, of which there was at that time an epidemic-smiling with them the while . Tuesday, while the same history class was proposing to send her some flower , she died. The winter sky was cold, leaden, windy. The landscape outside the schoolhouse was bleak and brown, frozen, although there was no snow. Aero s the park the flag above Elliott school kept whipping and blowing just the same.

Otto W. Hackman

During the one year that he has served as as istant to the principal Mr. Hackman has made for himself an enviable place in the estimation of the boys of Lincoln high school. His kindness and fair play in dealing with problems have met with hearty approval. It is the wish of all those who have dealt with him that the future students in Lincoln high chool may have the privilege of cooperating with him in enterprises which concern the boys of the school.

Olivia M. Pound

A si~tant Principal of Lincoln high school, Miss Pound is a nationally recognized educator. Her under tanding of high school girls has earned for her the respect and admiration of countle s girls who have attended· Lincoln high. Besides her duties a a i tant principal, Mi s Pound spon or · the all girls league, act as adviser for girls a~ emblies and parties and makes many other contribution to the welfare of the girls and of the chool as a whole.

SENIORS

Class History

"Just look at us; Why are we thus? We are the dignified seniors."

Only the graduates in the class of twenty-nine will ever fully appreciate the remin:scent chord that our class song strikes in us; we are the only ones who will be moved by sudden memories when its strains recur to us at some unexpected time in later life; we are the only ones who will smile at the remembrance of the stirring bass emphasis on the word "seniors."

For there will be memories. And when we think back, it will seem that our dass, the largest graduating class in the state, was different from all others; we shall feel that there was a peculiar bond of sympathy between its members that never existed in another class. It will seem that the tide of students which Lincoln high school poured upon the world in 1929 is still united, that scattered though it be we can claim acquaintanceship to any of its members through a mutual fe which others cannot recognize. When one of our classmates achieves some notable success, we shall feel a certain pride and realize another victory for the class of twenty-nine.

An esteemed possession is this of friendship and unity. How we came by rt 1s a longer story; but it begins with the time when we, as incongruously self-confident and immature freshmen, first came to school in this huge cream-colored building. There were new rules, new methods of discipline, laughing editorials and upper dasmen, as well as other annoying intricacies to cope with, and for a few weeks none of us displayed particular pride in . our class; but the novelty and interest of attending school on a large scale survived the disagreeable period and we asserted ourselves by blossoming out with first semester officers: Raymond Gavin, president; Don Easterday , vice-president; Janet Smith, secretary; Elizabeth Barber, treasurer; Ruth Smith, editor; John Hanson, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Helen Dunlap and Miss Edith Woodburn became the class sponsors. • , Raymond Gavin was re-elected president for the second semester; Jack Morris, vice-president; Don Easterday, secretary; Lucille Hitchcock, treasurer; Virginia Faulkner, editor; John Hanson, sergeant-at-arms. Shortly after the seme ter had begun the class exhibited some of its talent before the critical high school audience. · They liked it; the assembly scored success number one for the class. In interclass debates we were represented by Meredith elson, Gordon Jorgenson and Richard King who were coached by Miss Elsie English. With the next fall came an onrush of sophomores from the junio r high schools. / g The class was approximately doubled in size, but within a few weeks we had again

elected officers and were getting acquainted. Murrell Johnson became first semester president; John Hamon, vice-pre ident:; Don Easterday, secretary; Bob Harmon, treasurer; Richard Brooks, editor; Glenn Large, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Lillian Lewis filled the place of class sponsor which Miss Woodburn vacated when she left the chool. Elizabeth Barber and Arnold Kleinebecker were chosen to represent the class on the student council. Bettie Willson and Virginia Faulkner were elected to the all girls council.

We cored another victory in winning the unanimous decision over the juniors in intercla s debates when the subject was argued: "Resolved, that the present day newspaper constitutes a more harmful than beneficial influence on the public at large." The sophomore team, composed of Gordon Wyland, Ruth Grossman and Philip Brownell, upheld the negative side, winning the debate and the respect of the upperclassmen.

The second semester president was Jack Morris; vice-president, Harriet Daly; secretary, Richard Brooks; treasurer, · Dorothy Charleson; editor, Richard Carlsen; sergeant-at-arms, Graydon Scott. lq April the sophomores presented their annual a embly. Charlotte Cornell danced, a group of boys staged a tumbling act called Rolling StonesJ the sophomore orchestra presented several numbers, Dudley Cook played his xylophone, Horace Munger gave a tap dance and Alice Quigle, accompanied by Dorothy Charleson, gave a musical reading.

Unexpectedly we were juniors. Dick Mulliner was chosen president; Don Easterday, vice-president; Bruce Thorpe, secretary; Porter Cannon, treasurer; Frances French, editor, and Richard Carlsen, sergeant-at-arms. Ilene Baker, Elizabeth Barber, Philip Brownell, Harriet Daly, Arnold Kleinebecker, Jack Morris and Bettie Willson were the junior representatives on the student council. Theona Steele, Margaret Lawlor, Lois Brooks and Ilene Baker representd the class on the all girls league council.

The class of twenty-nine contributed a girls tumbling act and an animated clog dance by Dorothy McKensie to the all-school assembly, and during the second half of the year they gave the junior play, Captain ApplejackJ one of the most successful plays of the year.

The second semester junior offices went to Harold Peterson, president; Verne Fan ton, vice-president; John Hanson, secretary; Charles Armstrong, treasurer; Maurice Gillett, editor, and Paul Batty, sergeant-at-arms. The term was brought to a close by the olympics, in which the juniors proved themselves good sports in defeat as in victory, and by the dance given by the juniors in honor of the seniors at the Scottish Rite temple.

Ha! we were seniors and launched into our last swift year in Lincoln high. Is it an exaggeration to say that, as we found our places in auditorium home room on that first morning of school in early fall, there was not one of us but felt that his senior year would be the most exhilarating and eventful period of his high school life? For ~e remember -how , as underclassmen, we looked upon the seniors and aspired after the dignity of their position, dreaming of the time when we should wear their mantle of superiority with familiar grace, and of the conquests we should stage in the role. That we build toward a goal which upon attainment we found shorn of much of its glamour speaks no ill of our particular class; nor was it unnatural that we should assume that senior air of flowing complacency. After all, when the first disappointment of not feeling mature and staid had past, we recognized the inferiority of the sophomores and juniors and lost no time in putting on a senior manner; and we will admit that the members of no foregoing cla s were better actors.

Charles Armstrong, habitual serious smile, rebellious hair and all, was the choice of the January seniors for president. The class showed its excellent taste in electing the following lugubrious and artistic assortment for the other offices: Porter Cannon, vice-president; Marion Ball, secretary; Elizabeth Seaton, treasurer; Reed Sartor, editor, and Herbert Myers, sergeant-at-arms.

John Hanson, the casual blue-eyed boy with a drawl, drew his fifth class office, this time becoming president of the June senior class. Philip Brownell, vice-president, and Bettie Willson, secretary, represented the student council among the class officers, and Theona Steel, class treasurer, was a member of the all girls league council. Harry Foster, editor, and Don Easterday, sergeant-at-arms, filled in, as it were, for the athletic faction .

AmonQ' the leaders who represented us on the student council were Ilene Baker, Elizabeth Barber, Philip Brownell, Porter Cannon, Jimmy Chaooell, Dorothy Charleson, Ruth Holmes, Paul Miles, Bettie Willson and Arnold Kleinebecker, unas~uming president of the organization. Because of ineligibility, winter graduation and pupils leavinR: school there were several vacancies in the council. These were filled by Paul Calhoun. Dick King, John Hanson, Bill Crooks and Margaret Lawlor. On the all girls council the senior representatives were Lois Brooks, Margaret Clapp, Dorothy Orr, Breta Peter~on, Betty Sea~on and Theona Steele. Later Harriet Daly, Jean Speiser and Pauline Thompson were chosen to fill vacancies.

Senor color day rarely fails to carry with it a spirit not soon to be foqrnt. But ours was particularly successful. The extraordinary character of our class was typically manifest in the fact that though some six hundred of us crossed the auditorium stage not one of us was hurt in descending those treacherous steps on either side. The girls wore white dresses, green and white ruffs around their necks and green satin masks, while the boys were in dark suits, bandoleers and masks. The class song, written by Dorothy Orr to original music by Harriet Daly, was sung; then we sat down and pushed our masks up on our foreheads to see, without looking cross-eyed, who were sitting next to us. A one-act play, Sauce for the Goslin_qs, was presented; and a senior court was held for the trial of several prominent members.

Early in December the seniors presented their play, The Kangaroos, a comedy by Victor Mapes. Jean Speiser with Paul Gilbert and Judith Larson with Reinholdt Wink added much to the humor of the play by their contrasting heights.

In the winter graduations the class of twenty-nine was decreased by I 15 seniors. Evelyn Lyon and Laurence Hall were senior speakers. The survivors in the class chose Bill Crooks for president during the last term and by their selection found a person who could with his resourcefulness iron out the difficulties of carrying off successfully the many important events which crowd upon the last part of the senior year. Henry Bauer and Joe Luchsinger, respectively vice-president and secretary, afforded us a novel situation at the end of the semester when it was found that they had not enough credits to be seniors and would enter the olympics against the class in which they held offices. Donald Sarbach was voted treasurer by virtue of his curly hair and enviable reputation , and the class found the position of editor appropriate for Rasche Myers and his editorial leanings. Paul Winterhalter was made the big, modest sergeant-at-arms.

In the last whirl of olympics, senior party, fees, books, grades, opera, senior picnic, junior-senior party, senior sermon and graduation many of us picked up more friendships, it seemed, than we had found before in all the time we had been in high school. The class became more and more a group of friends and less a mere organization. When the end of the semester drew near and the realization came that the rare union of the class and all the close _ and casual friendships would be strained or lost with the separation of fellow students, we felt the one depressing side of graduation. And then we resolved-consciously, some of us-that the tie would not be broken. Proofs of that resolve are the signatures sprawled over the margins and last pages of this book, the book itself, the pictures exchanged with -classmates; and an expression of that resolve is found in the three closing lines of the class song:

"We'll ne'er forget

All our friends

In our class of one nine two nine . "

CI ass Sponsors

Song of 1-9-2-9

Ju t look at u !

Why are we thu ?

We are the dignified seniors. We're nearly through. Then we'll go Out into the world of woe.

o matter how far we all may roam, Tho' we're scattered away from home, We'll ne'er forget

SE !ORS

For three long years an eager group Has worked and played and lived along And drifted through the months that passed As one wild ong Of failure, happ:ness, uccess Until, at last, there came a day When they left their school, teachers, friends And went away.

They've earned their ~hare of honors there And with them they've found sadness. They've done things right or wrong at will, Lived in gladness. And yet when they cannot go back They stop and say, "All this we leave behind us To go away."

They graduate and leave their friends And go into a world unknown And wonder why things are so hard. They' re all alone But till they do not mind at all. They've gone to tay. There are new world's to conquer now Though they're away. -

STUDENT COOPERATION

Student Council

The student council is the medium through which the students of Lincoln high school may take an active part in the policies and government of the school. This year, under the presidency of Arnold Kleinebecke; the first semester and Paul Calhoun the second semester, the council has been particularly active in many fields pertaining to the betterment of the government, appearance and act:vities of the school.

Elizabeth Barber headed a committee which drew up a revised rating system for • student activities in Lincoln high. The development of boys assemblies was undertaken with great success by a committee under the direction of Paul Calhoun. The council members acted as salesmen for W. H. Browne during the athletic ticket sales campaign, thus doing their share in lessening the athletic deficit.

One of the paramount activities of this year was the official closing of the wall debt. Th:s was done at an assembly attended by a large percentage of those men who, through the loan of their credit, made the construction of the oval possible.

A plan for improving the Lincoln high school auditorium was launched by the council during the second semester. This scheme provides for the use of student activities funds, which would hitherto have gone into the oval debt, to finance a comprehensive remodeling of the auditorium. The plan includes a new drop, a cyclorama and window drapes, better stage equipment, a loud speaker system throughout the building which can be used to broadcast assembly programs and bulletin_s, and possibly it may include the installation of a pipe organ. These improvements will greatly enhance future productions given in Lincoln high school.

Joy night, an annual all school production sponsored by the student council, consisted this year of a series of numbers given on board the good ship L. H. S. Paul Calhoun acted as skipper and toastmaster. The members of the all girls league council were the sailors who shifted scenes for the entertainment. Besides these organizations, the faculty, Mummers, G. A. A., Round Table, Girl Reserves and home rooms 206 and 214 took part. Individual numbers were presented by Jane Edwards and Harriet Walt, Marjorie · Corrington and George Wikoff, Edmund Clements, M urrel Johnson and Zeno Mackay. The price of admission was raised this year to help cover the athletic deficit; However, the excellence of the performance fully justified the slight extra charge.

Home Room Representatives

In all democracies, from the days of ancien t Rome until the present, t here have been certain men who have been chosen directly by the people and whose duty it has been to oversee and check the proceedings of the higher governmental officers in the interests of the people. These men were called tribunes in Rome, commoners m England and representatives in the United States. The corresponding body in Lincoln high school is called the home room representatives.

The members of this body, acting in their capacity as direct representatives of the classes, have performed several important duties. This year they ratified changes in the Lincoln high school constitution which were recommended by the student council. They approved the new rating system which was prepared by the student council and ratified by the faculty committee on student affairs

Besides these legislative duties the home room representatives collected class dues, payments for colors, Links engrav :ng fees and other similar assessments. They also acted as monitors in distributing and collecting ballots in class and school elections.

All Girls League

The all girls league does much to promote Lincoln high school spirit among the girls of the school by sponsoring many social activities an:! entertainments. An y undesirable condition in the school which come to the attention of the members are brought up for consideration and an attempt is made to better them.

Besides holding an assembly , a party and a friend hip promotion campaign, the all girl league annually , pon ors "Hello" day on which da y ever y one is given a t ag bearing his name. This spirit of getting acquainted goes far toward making school life interesting and enjoyable.

The members of the league , dressed as sailor lads, served as the crew of the good ship L. H. S. and acted as scene shifters during joy night. These girls presented a novelty dance as the opening act on the program.

In addition to these important activities the league , at the end of the emester , holds a sale of all unclaimed articles which have collected in the lost and found box.

PUBLICATIONS

Editorial

While other annuals may be more beautiful · and elaborate, the 1929 Links will occupy a high place in importance and interest for the students of Lincoln high school. In order that this volume may be worthy of that distinction, the Links staff, \'vith the unselfish ass:stance of other members of the enior and junior classes, have striven to put into this book a part of that intangible element which gives to Lincoln high the highest honor and regard of those who have worked and played within its halk

Like all other publications, the Links cannot always function as smoothly as a well-oiled machine and when unforeseen difficult:es arose it was only with the aid of person not on the staff that the work could be carried on. Arthur Elliott stepped into the breach left by the absence of the managing editor at a critical time and did his share of the work cheerfully and efficiently. Alice Pietenpol, Georgetta Kimsey, Elizabeth Freeman, Paul Christofferson, Opal Neiderhouse, ma olan, Freda Seckinger and Ethel Walin aided by typing copy when the regular typists were not available.

The art department helped to make this volume truly representative of Lincoln high chool by furnishing original designs for the title pages, cover and spots.

The cooperation of the sponsors of the various club whose pictures appear m the Links is deeply appreciated by the staff and photographer alike. Many other students and faculty members helped to make this Links a success by their interest and aid in checking names and keying pictures. Reeve Rhodes and Elmer Hense assisted materially in checking senior biographies.

The Link board thank Claire Heflin, Gaylord Bose, Dorothy Charleson and the girls athletic department for their help in the annual advertis:ng assembly.

The Advocate

From a small eight-page monthly pamphlet first issued in 1895 the Advocate has pas ed through various stages in a struggle for existence until now it is a modern weekly newspaper which is self supporting and publi hed by efficient and businesslike methods in a specially trained high school newswriting class.

This year the Advocate achieved national recognition in the field of chool journalism by gaining an All American honor rating in the annual contest pon ored by the national cholastic pres as ociation of which it is a charter member. This is the highest rating which a high school paper can earn.

During the second semester Miss Jacqueline Stice, in tructor, and Leo McMahon, who was selected from the Advocate class, attended the ational Scholastic Press Association convention at Iinneapolis. Many of the new ideas which were brought out at the meeting were later introduced into the Advocate routine and have helped materially in increasing the efficiency of publication. Miss Be sie Fisher, financial adviser, and Mildred Huff, a member of the class, made a trip to Omaha where Mildred took part in the program at a meeting of the Quill and Scroll.

The Advocate course is an excellent opportunity for young newswriters to put into practice the principles of beginning journalism learned in English 8 which is a prerequisite for the course It also serves a a working foundatiorr for a university course in advanced journalism.

Red and Black Handbook

The Red and Black handbook was revised and reoublished this semester by a special class in English 13 taught by Miss Elisabeth Wittmann. The new handbook is an up-to-date guide to Lincoln high school and contains accurate and interesting information as to classes, registration, equipment, organizations, accomplishments and customs of the school.

The last i5sue of this book, published m 1926 , had been rendered obsolete by the addition of shops, the stadium and the remodeling of the old building, with the change in administration which neces5arily brought new ideas and practices. Since no names of persons appear in this book it is expected to remain an accurate guide for a longer period of time than the 1926 edition.

Languid looks were in evidence when the students filed into the auditorium for the assembly on March 4, and discovered a very business-like microphone the center of attraction. Were they going to have to listen to the inauguration ceremonies? But no-it was the Links television assemblv.

The "locker room" quartet opened the· program with Fight, Fight for Lincoln, and Lincoln Will Shine Tonight. Gaylord Bose next sang Ah, Swut Mystery of Li/ e, from the opera Naughty Marietta.

After Coach Browne made his annual tournament speech, 0. B. "Andy" Anderson spoke. "The boys sleep in their own beds and eat at their own tables during the tournament. Not only that , but they won't get excited when the y see a street car and they won't stand around a whole da y, gazing at the capitol and wondering when it will be finished."

Another man agree that there i no place like home. Frank D. Tomson , who has traveled extensively in his work with Woods Brothers Company, says, " o matter where yo u go or what yo u see, the best sight of all is Lincoln and your own home." The girls octet sang three numbers as part of the assembly on March 2 r.

It does not ' take a mu ic lover to grasp the fact that Lincoln high schoo.l ha an unusual orchestra. The mere sight of it on the stage' at the annual assembly , pu hing the back drapes to give elbow room, told the audience that thi s was no novice co mpan y of players. The climax wa reached in the Egmont overture , a number l a ter played in the national orche tra contest at Iowa Cit y, Iowa.

Fifty-three seniors were elected from the June graduating class to represent Lincoln high school a members of the national honor society. The local chapter of this society was chartered in the pring of 1927. This number wa selected from 127 seniors who were scholastically eligible to be considered for membership.

High scholarship, good character, leadership and service to the school are the requirement for membership. The purpose of the organization is the encouragement of a high tandard of cholarship.

ot more than fifteen per cent of any class may belong to this society and these are chosen from. the upper third of the class in scholastic standing. The final selection is made by a committee of teachers of senior subjects who meet with the principal and ballot until the list of eligible senior has been reduced to less than fifteen per cent of the cla s.

The members selected from the winter senior class were announced in January. Fifteen seniors received this honor at that time. They were officially recognized by the school at an assembly. The officers elected at that time remained in office until the June officers were chosen.

Miss Margaret Proctor sponsors the Lincoln chapter. The following members of the society were elected during the past year:

DEBATE

The Lincoln high chool debater gained valuable experience the fir t eme,;ter ~hrough the medium of several practice deba t es on the st ate question, " R esolved: that the Engli h cabinet system of government is preferable to the presidential form now in use in the United State ." Among the visiting teams were tho e representing Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln high school of Council Bluffs. The home squad during this time was composed of Bernard Ref hauge , William Resneck , James Howard , Harry Foster, Arnold Kleinebecker, Charles Stuart, Philip Brownell , orman Malcolm and Elwood Thompson.

The important event of the trial debates of the second eme ter wa _ a two-da y sta y in Omaha where the Lincoln group met four chools in six debates, three affirmative and three negative. Those who made the trip were Arnold Kleinebecker, Paul Calhoun , Philip Brownell , Bernard Refshauge, Elwood Thomp on, orman Malcolm and J. D. Hansen , coach.

Immediately following their return from Omaha the members of the squad reorganized their ca es and prepared debate on both ides of the que tion in anticipation of the Hastings and district tournaments. a-decision debate were held ,vith Beatrice, 1928 state champions, and with Seward.

The Lincoln debater made an impre sive showing in the invitation tourney held at Hastings, February 28 to March 2, attaining the emi-final round before they were eliminated. They proved themselves to be one of the few ranking team of the state, for out of thirty-one entrants only four were emi-finalists. The team, composed of Elwood Thompson, orman Malcolm, Philip Brownell and alternate, Bernard Refshauge, carried out a grilling chedule of seven debates in three days. They won -95 -

m the first four encounters, defending the affirmative against Wayne, the negative against Su t ton and Kearney and the affirmative against the strong Doniphan entrant.

They met their first set-back upholding the affirmative in a closely contested debate with the powerful Fremont team which also reached the finals. Lincoln next drew a bye and in the seventh round easily defeated orfolk, 3 to o. Creighton Prep, opponent in the eighth and semi-final round, drew a 2 to- I decision. Creighton defeated Omaha Tech in the finals and was crowned tournament champion. Lincoln held the negative in each of the latter debates.

After a short period of intensive work, terminated by practice debates with Plattsmouth and Hastings high schools, the Hamen proteges entered the first debate of the district tournament, vanquishing Wesleyan Preparatory with ease while supporting the negative. Two days later the Lincoln orators took the short end of the decision upholding the negative against Jackson high school of University Place. The debate proved to be the most fiercely fought contest of the year and one which held the large audience in suspense until the decision was delivered. In the final district encounter Lincoln turned back Havelock high school while defending the affirmative.

Though they were eliminated from competition in the state tournament the members of the Lincoln team determined to remain active. A plan, which was approved by the student affairs committee, provided for a decision debate to be held in the auditorium dur ing fifth period on Wednesday, April I 7. Creighton preparatory high school of Omaha was selected as the opponent because t hey were, at the time, the most prominent team in the state.

The contest took place as arranged and the Lincoln trio demonstrated its su- · periority over the fluent Creighton team by convincing the judge "That the English cabinet system of government is preferable to the presidential form of the United States." Approximately four hundred and fifty students attended. The home team consisted of Philip Brownell , Elwood Thompson and orman Malcolm. -96-

Art Club

All those students in Lincoln high who intend to startle the world of art in the future by their work, belong to the art club. To become a member one should pour forth in color on canvas, or whatever else is available , the picture one sees in his mind' eye. If we are to believe the reports we hear, there ar e few places where one can enjoy himself more than in the art club.

The members of the art club endeavor to see the be ~t in art; the y do much creative work, and criticize their fellow students' efforts. Their sponsors, Miss Helen Wilson and Mis Glad y Dana , help to lend a studio atmo phere.

Biology C l ub

"What is the biology club, anyway?" asks the innocent sophomore. His zoology teacher tells him that biology includes botany, zoology and physiology, and that any student making a grade of So in any of these subjects can become a member of the biology club.

The members have a curiosity to know more about living things than they can learn in class, therefore they get together every two weeks to hear a well-versed speaker tell about rodents, plant life or what have you. One thing that makes these meetings doubly intem~ting is the fact that the speaker use slides to illustrate their talks.

Teachers of the subjects sponsor the club.

Chemistry Club

S ss ! Bang! What are the e explosions that sound as if they might blow up the building! Let us investigate. Boom! Sounds as though they were some place up above. Barn! The noise seems closer a we reach the door of 324, the chemistry laboratory, and we know we have discovered the source of the racket. The room is full of students and they seem to be enjoying the breath-taking experiments performed by their lecturer. It is the chemistry club in session.

These lectures, given by university men, on semi-precious stones, rare gases and other subjects, are fascinating and erve to cultivate students' interest in the science.

Miss Mariel C. Gere, head of the science department, is largely responsible for the succes of the club, and has been ably assisted by the officers .

Commercial Club

In the three short ·years of its existence the commercial club has grown to be one of the largest clubs in the high school. The members are those who have had courses in the commercial department and who wish to gain a further knowledge of the subjects studied.

That the programs are enjoyable is proved by the fact that the attendance is always large. At one meeting a typewriting contest was held with Jackson high school, and at another a play was given, hawing what kind of applicant will get the position.

The members of the commercial club have a chance to ee in operation some of the machines that materially increase the efficiency of modern business. For social good times the club holds informal meetings, and once each year they stage a "real" party.

Forum

The forum, according to Mr. Webster, is a place where orations are delivered to the public. One needs only to attend a meeting of Lincoln high school's Forum to find that this statement still holds true. Although the voice of Demosthenes is heard no more, thi world is still able to boast some keen and forceful orators. Verily, the talent of these students raises our hopes for the future of the art of oratory.

The Forum members, with the ease of men of the world, readily dispose of such important question as the manager plan of city government, and it is a determined listener that can cling to his former views after these heated debates. This year the Forum has also sponsored an assembly, has held a banquet and has entertained all visiting debate teams.

Hiking along a winding road and ea t ing lunch cooked over a campfire, are diversions that the G. A. A. members frequently enjoy. Girls who belong to this girls athletic association are those who do not object to after-school sports as much as do some of their brothers. For to be able to join this club a girl must have roo points in after-school sports and must take a sport every semester thereafter as long as she wishes to retain her membership.

The G . A. A. annually sponsors a party for all girls interested m athletics.

·L Club

The heroes who have gallantly upheld the honor of Lincoln high in every field of athletics can be found in the L club. It is hard to assemble a group of fellows who have inspired us with the Lincoln high school spirit as have the L club members whom we have seen on the field in red and black jerseys, fighting for a Lincoln victory amid ringing cheers, sunlight, chants and waving colors.

It is hard to destroy the friendships made on an athletic field, so the fortunate individuals with letters have organized a club where congenial souls can meet to discuss statistics of games or figure out Lincoln's probable record for the season.

The boys make the athletic office their "hangout" and there some of them may be found at almost any free hour during the day, talking among themselves or perhaps with a coach, inspecting pictures and prizes-and always in good humor.

Hi -- Y

The Lincoln Hi-Y may consider it elf very lucky in that it ha the only Hi-Y club hou~e in the world. Thi building, donated by H. E . Sidle , is located across the street to the west of the high school.

If one would see the building at the time of its most intense act1V1ty, he should stand at the west entrance to the Lincoln high school at I I :40 a. m. at which time a mob of boys pour from the doors for the daily dash toward the Hi-Y and lunch. But besides eating, a boy can recreate with games of billiard , ping-pong, checkers or with verbal contest.

In pursuance of its purpose, "to create, maintain, and extend throughout the chool and community, high standards of Christian character," the Hi-Y has had speakers interesting to boy , po~sessing interesting information, talk at the weekly evening meetings.

Household Arts Club

Most of the good cooks in Lincoln high school belong to the household arts club. At least we should be indined to think so, considering the excellence of the candy they sell.

The club is open to those who have taken eithe; cooking or sewing in the semor or junior high schools. It meets once every two weeks for a varied program. ome woman interested in domestic science in high school speaks, and talented members of the club sing, play, or give readings.

The girls have raised money for the treasury by candy sales. In this organization are the future seamstres es as well as the able housewive of the future.

Mummers

Those persons in Lincoln high school who see the Mummers only in plays and assemblies where the action of the players is interpreted through words may feel that the founders of the club made a mistake in naming the organization for a group of old English players who gave only pantomime. But those persons who think that a mistake ha been made should attend one of the private meetings where these "plays without words" are given, to see, perhaps a boy imitating a girl getting ready for a party, thereby showing how little he really knows about it, or to see a drama enac t ed as though the players were mute.

However, the Mummers do not spend all their time on the silent drama, but are just as interested in the spoken art. This semester several one-act plays have been presented in which many of the members have taken part.

The Mummers and the Forum joined forces this year and gave a Christmas H par t y for the members of both groups. No doubt this sort of holiday festivity will be i§ repeated in the future.

Orpheons

Orpheus, according to Greek mytholog y , tamed the wild beasts with his m4s1c. The Orpheons , a club of Lincoln high school , is named after this remarkable fellow; and , although the members claim no superhuman power , the y do enjo y meeting and hearing some good mu ic. The program are gi v en v a riety by interspersing musical readings and an occasional dance.

Tr y-outs are held twice a year and the would-be member s put ev ery ounce of their energ y and inspiration into the notes that come tumbling ev er y way from their instrument or from their throat s Their loss of appetite and sleep for the week previous to the ordeal is fully repaid ·by the honor of becoming a full-fledged member of the Orpheons.

Thi club annually sponsors the mid- year concert and the opera , which this year was The Marriag e of Nannette. This year the members also lent vigorous support to the concert which sent the advanced orchestra to the national orchestra contest at Iowa Cit

Stagecraft Club

Several weeks before a pla y is given , certain high school students, in overalls covered with paint , work busily in the halls. These students are the members of the stagecraft club which was organized only last year. The bo ys choose the staging crew for each play and, with the help of their spomors , the y paint the scener y, manage the lights and do the shifting on the night of the performance.

They have perhaps more manual labor to do each y ear than members of other clubs, for they must make arrangements for three plays and an opera, besides helping with anything else that takes place in the Lincoln high school auditorium.

Girl Reserves

The year I 929 will be a memorable one in the history of the Girl Reserves because the state conference was held here April 5, 6 and 7. At this time 300 girls from all over the state gathered at Lincoln to meet one another and to exchange ideas. _The theme of the conference was We, and we surely will never forget the experience.

Another of the interesting activities of this club was an imaginary trip abroad. How the party enjoyed their visits to the opera house in Florence and the home of the hobby horses at uremburg ! What a thrill to fly swiftly high above the French villages and crui e along the coa t of Italy! How restful was the quiet of the Amiens Cathedral after the turmoil of a busy day! These and other fa cinating old world places were visited by the Girl Reserves on their tour.

Other features of this year's activities were a banquet, a friendship contest and several parties, one of the most successful of which was an international carnival. Over IOO girls attended th:s party.

Any girl in high school may become a Girl Reserve upon payment of her due. This year the membership totalled 225.

Writers Club

Perhaps the most trying sensaticn known to a student is hearing the caustic cr.t1cisms of his classmates after he has read a manuscript at the writers club. It indeed gives one a sinking feeling to hear a composition, cher{shed at home for weeks, picked to pieces by this most callous assembly.

Only that student who has been recommended by an English teacher and has had a manuscript accepted by a critical reading committee of the club can obtain membership in this select group. Here gather the future poets, authors and dramatists of the world. Here we see Shakespeares, Tennysons and Scotts in the making, practicing assiduously to perfect their styles.

This club each year sponsors an assembly, reads original manuscripts and sometimes pre sents plays.

MUSIC

Opera

The Marriage of Nanette, a comic opera of three acts, was written by Agnes Emilie Peterson and Louis W oo dson Curtis. The scene is laid in the courtyard of the Inn L' Agneau d 'Or ( The Golden Lamb), in the village of Champs des Fleurs in orthern France. The rather elderly Due D'Antin had chosen Champs des Fleurs for the setting for his fourth wedding. As the curtain rose all was bustling excitement in preparation for the gala event. The Comtesse de Martigny, Heloise, who was to wed the Due, was reputed to be the most dazzlingly beautiful woman in all France. Indeed, she alwa ys wore heavy veils lest men go mad if they should behold her face.

Madame Zenobie, the selfish innkeeper, conceived the idea of disgui ing her fair daughter anette as Heloise and marrying her to the Due in order to acquire wealth for her famil y anette loved Rene , a village youth , and she protested the plan , but was forced to consent. The royal parchment which had to be signed at the wedding was in the po session of Heloise. However, anette's brother and some of his friends knew where to procure it, for they had kidnapped the Comtesse. All was set for the wedding of anette to the Due when the parchment mysteriously disappeared. The bear had stolen it! At the crucial moment Heloise appeared and much explaining had to be made to account for the two brides.

Advanced Glee Club

A well organized glee club has great possibilifes. This year much has been done by both girls and boys glee clubs. During the meeting of the district teachers association in Lincoln, a chorus of glee clubs from high schools throughout the district, with the Lincoln high school organization forming a nucleus, sang for one of the meetings. The group, consisting of approximately seven hundred fifty voices, was directed by Mr. Case. Arrangements are under way to make this district chorus a permanent feature. It is anticipated that there will be at least one thousand voices this year.

The annual Messiah assembly was presented at Christmas time by the mixed glee club, directed by Mr. Case. The assisting artists were Mrs. E. C. Boehmer, Sylvia Cole, Walter Wheatley and Herman Decker. The same program was presented for the Woman's club. This chorus sang at the mid-year concert, presented several numbers for one of the vesper concerts, and sang for commencement.

There were forty-nine members in the girls glee club, directed by Miss Stowell. They sang at the mid-year concert and at one of the vesper concerts. A number of songs were learned, most of which were four-part arrangements for women's voices. Harriet Daly was the accompanist and Ruth Scott the ass:stant accompanist.

The boys glee club, numbering forty-nine, directed by Mr. Case, made numerous appearances before high school audiences and Lincoln civic organizations. The club worked more extensively on four-part music than ever before. Dorothy J ohnstort accompanied the group.

Junior Glee Club

Try to imagine the sombre harmonies of Deep River as they would sound when sung by one hundred and ten voices. The pathos of this famous spiritual was admirably demonstrated by the junior glee club, with unusual tone quality and excellent interpretation. This group is a mixed chorus whose members are selected by try-out, and drilled by Mr. Case. Three times a week its members delve into the elements of sight reading, dynamics, quality and interpretation, building the foundation on which the more fortunate of them will work in advanced glee club. The way is hard, and has been known to be quite wearing on batons as well as on students. Those who survive the grilling, however, emerge with a well laid basis for advanced work and have less difficulty thereafter.

Besides appearing in the mid-year concert and at one of the Christmas assemblies, the junior glee club was included in the large chorus that sang at the coliseum for the teachers attending the district convention.

Several accompanists assisted during each eme ter. Those for the year just closed were Esther Ro enburg, Esther Fuenning, Dorothea Morse, Dorothy Gerhardt, Velma Smith, Ruth Scoffield and Besse Kantor.

Advanced Orchestra

"There is no greater factor in today's development of music apprecia t ion among the school children of America than the symphony orchestra," says the editor of a leading music periodical.

The programs presented during the past year by the Lincoln high school orchestra compare favorably with programs presented by symphony orchestras, in the type of music and the ability of the orchestra and of the individual players. It is an honor to be a member of the advanced orchestra, and many look forward to that from the time they enter junior high schools.

•

An unusual distinction was the privilege of being directed on one occasion by Richard Czerwonky, who had previously appeared in Lincoln as leader of the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra. Mr. Czerwonky came out from Chicago to conduct the instrumental master class, having previously given up orchestra work to become director of violin at B usch Conservatory.

An excellent concert was given April 30 in the high school auditorium for the purpose of securing funds to send the orchestra to the ational contest at Iowa City. The orchestra, consisting of seventy-three pieces, made many presentations during the year: at district teachers association, three vesper concerts, mid-year concert, a program at Jackson high and one for the convention of ebraska school boards and executives It accompanied the advanced glee clubs for the Messiah, thereby contributing to the success of the oratorio. Mr. evin directed the orchestra in one of his own compositions at the mid-year concert.

Vigor, enjoyment of the work, and competitive striving all helped to advance the orchestra. It is not lacking in fine tone, decisive attack and attentive reading. It successfully undertook the compositions of such masters as Handel, Haydn and Mozart, which high school orchestras feared to attempt a few years ago. The important role which Mr. Righter, the director, played must not be overlooked, for it was he who welded the parts into a harmonious whole.

The Band

Nothing stirs up school spmt as does good rousing band music , the kind dispen sed by the Lincoln high school band. The appearance of the players in their spruce uniforms is excellent publicit y for the school. The quality of their performances is even better advertisement.

The band not onl y played at all home football games the past year , but also accompanied the team to Omaha. It participated in the mid-year concert and appeared in one of the vesper concerts It ga v e a special concert for the Kiwanis club and another for the district teachers convention at the coliseum.

Membership in t he band is an even greater distinc t ion since the rules of scholastic eligibility have been enforced. The most expert trap drummer or strong-lunged trumpeter must also be passing in fifteen hours of classroom work just as would be required of him if he were playing football or otherwi se upholding the prowess of the school in athletics.

The band was much improved this year from the viewpoint of instrumental balance. Becau se of this fact , it wa s able to play much more difficult music.

Girls Junior Glee Club

Many girls with excellent voice could not be accommodated in any of the advanced classes this year, a condition which necessitated the formation of another cla~8 called the girls junior glee club. There were forty in the group that was organized last emester. They studied three-part music and gave program twice a month within their own organization in order to become accustomed to singing before audiences. For variety the girls interpolated vocal solos and duets, piano music and readings in their program . U nurnal talent and re ourcefulness was shown in developing original productions.

The junior glee club also figured as a sort of re erve team , stepping forward to provide programs after the advanced glee clubs began work on the opera. Miss Stowell was the director and Harriet Daly the accompanist.

State Music Contest

" ot to win a prize , not to beat a n oppon e nt, but to p:ice each other on the road to ex c ellence" , wa the motto adopted for th e s ixth annual high sc h o6 1 mu ic con t es t ; ne verthele s$, each co nte s tant tro v e to brin g h o nor to his school an:i t h e ev en t was one of keen co mpetition. triking talent w a cji s pla y ed b y even the s m a lle t of :; ch ool s and ever y performance was enjo yed by the larg e audiences wh ·ch a tt e nded.

On Saturd a y afternoon numbers were broadcast o v er r a dio , tation KFAB.

Lincoln high sch ool m ight well be proud of the showin g which it ma:ie in th e co nte s t. It entered $e v en groups-the m ost an y school was allowed to enter. L o well Boomer wa s awarded first in clarin et solo and William Heller second in violin; the e were the onl y solo e v ent s from Lincoln. The b a nd and orchestra mer i ted es teem a nd prai se b y w inning fir t place. The girl s octet ranked first in the girl mall g ro up event s The boy$ glee club pl a ced third and the girl s glee club re ceive:i h o n o rabl e ment ic n.

Omaha Central and Lincoln tied for total numb e r of points , so it w as ag r eed that Omaha Central should keep t he sweepstake troph y for s ix month s , after which time it ~hould be sent to Lincoln high school for the remainder of the year. The troph y, which is presented by the Lincoln chamber of commerce to the school winning it for three y ears , wa won by Lincoln last May and is a prize of which an y school might well be proud. It is a cherished hope in 'this institution that Lincoln may be v ictorious : n adding the trophy to the laurels won in pas t years by placing first in the next state con t est.

All events were held in the Lincoln high school auditorium May 3 and 4. The chairman of the judges was Mr. P eter Lutkin, composer , conductor and dean of the • school of music at orthwestern University.

Mid--Y ear Concert

The mid- y ear concert in which the band, orchestra , advanced glee clubs , girls octet and a elected chorus participated was one of the most attractive ever presented at Lincoln high school. An ent irely new feature this y ear was the accompanying by the orchestra of both vocal and intrumental solos , a rare accomplishment and admirabl y done. The soloists were Don Abbott , trumpet; Claire Heflin, violin , and Elizabeth Freeman , v oice.

The number of organizatiom taking part made it necessary to limit each to a shorter performing time. Becau se the program was varied , it was interesting and well received . From the standpoint of finances and qualit y of the program , the twelfth annual concert , ponsored b y the Orpheons, was the mo t s u cce s sful e v er given. All tickets were old, and man y patrons were turned awa y at the door s Students of ever y mu s ical organization old tickets and ga v e heart y upport to their part of the program.

Gir l s Octet

The octet was organized to fill a definite need in Lincoln high school for a smaller group to furnish entertainment for v arious clubs and organizations of the city. It was difficult to arrange for the appearance of the entire glee club during school hour , and often the space for the performers was not sufficient for a large group. To a v oid the e difficul t ies the octet wa s formed, for not onl y was a small group better from the tandpoint of pace econom y and time lost from classes, but it was much ea sier for eight to ha v e a more complete repertoire than for fifty.

The octet gained rapidly in popularity and was soon in demand for high school programs. It appeared for assemblies, two of t he vesper concer t s, the mi d- year concert, the Thursda y evening club, Kiwan·$, B usiness Women's club and many o t hers. -1 2 3-

It also entered the district contest at Geneva. Mis Stowell deserves credit for her patience and skill and for dernting much of her time out ide of chool to the advancement and success of the octet. Ruth Scott, accompani t, merits the appreciation of the girls for her faithfulne<- and willing service.

With two eparate functions to perform , the junior girl octet was a busy group. It was organized at the ame time as the senior octet, with the idea of representing the junior in program presented by their cla s. The member also served as understudies for the senior organization. The junior octet made several public appearance .

Preparatory Orchestra

When Mr. Righter added the training of two preparatory orche tras to the music courses of the high school, almost everybody who felt a call to manipulate the trap , blow a flute or flourish a bow had a chance to try out for a place in a beginning instrumental organization. Those who made the grade were prepared to try out for advanced orchestra and formed the nucleus of a selected grouo better trained than is usual at the openine; of the year. 1 hese beginners were drilled in tone production, sight-reading, phrasing and balance.

Voice Classes

Twice a week twelve boys selected from the glee club met and studied v01ce under the direction of Mr. Ca e. Besides vocalises~ each boy was required to learn a certa:n number of solos to be sung before the class. Several sang solos in public. Five entered the preliminary contest

The girls voice class was conducted by Miss towell. The first semester the enior octet, known as the Lincoln high school girls octet, and two other girls chosen from the girls glee club comprised the class. The second semester the junior octet also entered the class.

Study was conducted much the same as in the boys voice clas The first half of the period was devoi:ed to vocalizing , and the last half to repertoire. Pupils received training as in the studio except. that instruction wa given collectively.

The accompani ts were Ruth Scott and Harriet Daly.

Public School Music Class

Students in the chorus classes had a new experience thi winter-that of being conducted by one of their own members. Frequently their regu~ar instructor would yield the baton for a little while to some student in the group. However, not every one who wanted to direct had the opportunity; the privilege was granted only to students in the normal training course. They were being trained in methods of teaching music to elementary grades, the chorus classes being the most elementary ones immediately available. The classes, as some of the amateur teachers remarked, simulated remarkably well the conduct of primary pupils being led for the first time through the mysteries of two-four time and half-tone intervals.

Vesper Concerts

High school vesper concerts have steadily increased in popularity. The offering of the high school groups have been supplemented by those of such notable artists as Carl Schaefer, tenor; Oscar Bennett, baritone; Herbert Gray, cellist, and by the Bel Canto quartet. The high school girls octet ha assisted at two concerts. The orchestra gave three programs, the band one and the glee clubs one. On each occasi'on an appreciative audience responded to the performers' efforts.

The vesper concert have become a recognized feature in the · community life and form a valuable connection between the school and its patron The board of education has sponsored them with this in mind, recognizing the value of the sort of publicity the concerts give. Charles B. Righter was in immediate charge.

National Orchestra Contest

In competition with seven other class A orchestras from six different states Lincoln emerged with flying color at Iowa City, to capture first place and the silver and bronze troph y, designating national orchestra supremacy The other class A urche~tras were Hammond, Ind.; Flint, Mich.; Waterloo, Ia '.; eode ha, Kan.; Peoria , Ill., and Springfield, Ill.

In the sight reading test the leaders a well as the orche tra were put through grueling trials. The e te ts were conducted in a room with only the judge and the performing orche tra pre ent. The conductor and orchestra member were given ealed copies of a mu ical core which had never been released and with which no one was familiar. At the blowing of a whistle the leader was allowed to open the envelope containing his mu ic and after he had been given two minutes for impecting it the whistle was again blown a a ignal for the members of the orchestra to open their copies and familiarize themselves with them as much as poss:ble. During these two minutes the conductor was allowed to give as many suggestions and directi o ns to his orchestra as he thought fit. When the whistle wa blown for the third time the playing commenced.

Charles B. Righter, the Lincoln director , was in a great way respons:ble for the excellen t shovving which Lincoln made. His interpretation was rated b) two of the four judges as perfect. The required number for th e clas A orchestras was the Egmont overture by Beethoven. For the other numbers the orchestra played the Largo from the New World Symphony by Dvorak.

The preliminaries were held Friday; following the finals on Saturday afternoon, • four orchestras apoeared on the evening program and immediately afterwards a ma s orchestra of class B groups played. The final number before the announcement of the winners and the award ·ng of the prizes was a massed clas A orchestra playing Egmont.

The magnificent trophy, which is t oo large to fit into the trophy case, is to be the property of the Lincoln high school for at least a year. The school winning it three times is to acquire permanent possession of it. It is thirty-three inches tall and has a diameter of eighteen inches.

"It was a great a ti s faction to be awarded first olace, in competition with such excellent orchestras," aid Mr. Righter. " ome were larger than Lincoln's and ome had a more complete instrumentation. I believe that Lincoln won because of finer ensemble, more accurate regard for details and a more mature conception of the compositions played. The importance of high standard of general scholarship in its relation to orchestra was demonstrated in the work of the Lincoln orchestra "

"Lincol n's weaknesses, which should certainly be overcome within the next year, are, first, an insufficient number of violins and bass, and, seco nd , the absence of harps and a contra-bassoon. Additional oboe, ba soon and percuss:on players ·must be developed if Lincoln high school orchestra is to keep its place among the . leading orchestra of the country." •

The judges for the contest were George Dasch of the Chicago Symphony' orchestra, Sandor Harmati, conductor of the Omaha symphony orchestra, and Vladimar Bakaleinikoff, a istant conductor of the Cincinnati symphony orchestra. Joseph Maddy of the University of Michigan acted as the sight-reading iudge. "The judge were looking forward to the hard task of choosing the winner. When we heard Lincoln play we were dumbfounded," said Mr. Maddy.

I ot only thi high chool but the whole of the city i proud to claim the orchestra which has won the first national high school orchestra contest. Lincoln high, although not unused to producing winners who repre ent different facets of our versatile endeavor, is nevertheless gratified to bring to the city the troph y and the distinction that comes with it. Competing with such able conte tants as the orchestras of Hammond, Flint and Waterloo makes apparent the honor of winning the trophy.

NATIONAL ORCHESTRA CONTEST TROPHY

LITERATURE

Measure for Measure

Mired in the mud-in that soft, oozing, clinging mud that is so characteristic of an Ozark road on a rainy day. And a rainy day it wa ! A misty drizzle was softly falling from heavy, lead-colored clouds, soaking and penetrating all it touched. It was a s:lver drizzle, forming a slanted, translucent curtain which dimmed the jagged • outline of the distant hills. On every side were sharp deep valleys and udden jutting hills, all green with scrub oak trees and coarse tangled bushes. ear-by on a small patch of cleared ground dotted with a myriad of stone, straggled several corntalks with the rain trickling down them, stark and bare, in submissive solitude, re igned to their fate. A solitary cow was standing desolately beneath one of the dripping trees, little rivulets· of water running off her steaming hide. A rail fence agged crazily along the ide of the road. On one of the log rails perched a parrow, in utter misery, his head drawn beneath his sodden coat. At the side of the road a little stream of dirty water was tumbling and curling about itself like a miniature whirlpool and rapid.

The rain continued to come down in misty sheets.

Mrs. Thorne, looking wearily through the mist-veiled window of the sedan in which she was sitting, sighed heavily.

"John, dear," she hesitatingly inquired of her husband, "is it simply- impo sible to get the car out?"

"Yes, I'm afraid it is. I gues the car will have to tick right here until this mud dries up a bit," answered Mr. Thorne in a discouraged tone.

"But, John," replied his wife in consternation, "it' almost dark now, and goodness knows we can't tay in the car all night."

Mr. Thorne wa poring over a road map. Suddenly he brightened. "Say," he rejoined, "according to this map we're only about half a mile from the Poplar Hollow postcffice. Maybe we could get a helter there for the night."

A the suggestion seemed to be the only way out of their dilemma, Mr. and Mrs. Thorne prepared to venture forth through the clinging mud in search of the postoffice.

The Poplar Hollow postoffice was typical of the Ozark country. It was a small weatherbeaten shack, made gray and dilapidated by the passing years. It boasted a front porch, the floor of which agged dejectedly at one corner. The porch roof, lanting downward, sagged likewi e. From the edge of the porch hung, lifelessly, a -127-

jaded sign, feebly exploiting the almost obliterated letters, " P ost Office . " The door of the postoffice stood ajar. In the gray light of the fading day a crude box, separated into pigeon holes and standing on a tottering table, was discernible. A few stamps, p:eces of string and scraps of paper were scattered on the table.

A door led from the postoffice to a living room where the postmaster, Uncle Matt, and his wife, Mandy, were sitting. The crude room was but dimly lit by the small kerosene lamp, whose wavering flame cast saucy shadows on the cracked and stained walls. Mrs. Matthe,1/s, a woman whose careworn, yet kindly face showed a lifetime of patient toil, was knitting beside the rough wooden table on which the lamp was set. In one corner of the room, Uncle Matt, a simple but proud mountaineer, was sitting. Propped up against one wall was an ancient horsehair sofa, whose dull black surface was frequently broken by sharp tufts of hair peeping out. Leaning in a corner, near the sofa, was a curious piece of furniture. It was wonderfully wrought from three hickory sticks fashioned in the shape of a tepee, inside of which rose a series of cylindrical graduated shelves. On each shelf was a confusion of bright pebbles, picture postcards, and pressed flowers. Several crude pictures hung on the wall, all generally alike except one, a faded water-color of a young girl, apparently dating from the early forties. She was an attractive girl with blue eyes and a laughing red mouth. A profusion of bright yellow ringlets covered her forehead, and a scarlet ribbon, from . which dangled a gold locket, circled her throat. The girl seemed to be musingly smiling at the Matthews, who were seriously discussing a coming party at Sand Ridge.

"Yes, Elmiry," said Uncle Matt, "hit's been powerful bad tidday, but I 'low htt'll dry up in time fer us 'uns t' go t' th' party this week "

"Wa'al, Matt, I've mighty near decided not t' go."

"Wa'al, I gonies !" he stammered. "Why, Elmiry, you ain't aimin' t' miss th' party, air you?"

Elmira looked up from her knitting and pursed her lips contemplatively.

"Wa'al, Matt, 'pears hit's like this," she said in a matter-of-fact, yet sorrowful tone, "I ain't got ary dress t' wear 'cept that 'ol calico that ever'body's seed me awearin' fer nigh onto ten years, an' I 'low I ain't goin' to ary party with that dress on agin."

To all outward appearances Mrs. Matthew was perfectly natural, but within her was surging a fierce resentment. For five years-for five years-she had had to wear the same calico dress to every social and church meeting the mountaineer folk had held, while her friends had appeared in new calicoes. But there was no money for new things for her, for Matt w~s getting old and it was getting harder and harder for him to coax the yearly corn crop from the sterile Ozark soil, so thickly strewn with rocks and boulders. Ah, well-, thought Elmira, perhaps next spring--

Steps sounded on the porch. Uncle Matt arose slowly. It must be Aunt Jennie from over the Bull Creek come to get the mail.

Mrs . Matthews followed her husband into the postoffice. Two very wet and bedraggled figures met their astonished gaze. Elmira rose to the occasion.

"Why, law sakes!" she ejaculated. "Come right in!"

Mr. Thorne replied, "We're sorry to bother you, but my car got stuck in the mud down the road, and, as it was getting dark, my wife and I came here to see if we could get shelter for the night. We were trying to reach Rocky Beach, where we intend to spend our summer vacation."

"Wa'al," responded Uncle Matt, "we 'ud be right smart glad t' he'p you . "

At the Matthews' bidding, Mr. and Mrs. Thorne went into the living room that they might rest and dry themselves. Upon entering, Mrs. Thorne gasped inwardly. Such a room! Such crude, queer furniture! Mrs. Thorne, a devoted member of the Antique Lovers Club, saw at once the quaintness and beauty of the mountaineers'

home. To her mind, so full of the lore, art and value of old things, this room was charming.

Placing her glasses high on her nose, Mrs. Thorne walked entranced to the picture of the laughing girl. Looking closely at it she murmured in astonishment, "How beautiful! Why-it's-it's a real Curry and Ives!"

Mrs. Matthew, standing nearby, laughed softly. "Law sakes!" she said looking upon Mrs. Thorne as a mother does a child admiring a piece of shining glass , "Law sakes! That thing! My grandma' toted hit here from Illinois. Nothin' but a piece of junk!"

Mrs. Thorne walked mechanically away from the picture. The picture-a genuine Curry and Ives! Why, they were worth a hundred dollars apiece in the city. If she could only have it to hang in her parlor! It would be the envy of all the club members. But how could she get it without arousing the suspicion of this man and his wife?

Mrs. Matthews looked kindly at the "city lady," whose brows were so close-knit in thought. "Law sakes, was she still thinking about that worthless picture?"

Later in the evening Mrs. Thorne ventured to remark about the picture.

"My, you know," she said uneasily, "you know, I've formed such an attraction for that picture-don't you-er-could you sell it for three dollars?"

Elmira jumped. Three dollars! And then a vision sweeter than anything she had ever known enveloped her. It was a vision of a new calico dress. Three dollars! What she had wished for so long was about to be realized. What happiness!

"Why-sure, we'll sell hit-won't we, 1\1:att ?" she stammered.

In Mrs. Thorne's heart, also happiness reigned. A few more words, and the bargain was closed. Now to have the club meet at her house!

The following morning broke sunny and bright. The distant hills, flooded with rich sunlight, were outlined in bright green against the clear blue horizon. In the distance, a pale wisp of smoke was rising from the rough stone chimney of a log cabin.

The mud was gradually drying up. The Thornes, waving goodby to their opportune friends, were headed slowly toward Rocky Beach. Mrs. Thorne heaved a sigh of contentment.

"John," she said, "I'm tickled to death to get that picture, but still, 'way down in my heart, I'm not a little conscience-stricken about driving such a good bargain with those poor folks. My conscience tells me I really shouldn't have done it, but, as the saying goes, 'What they don't know won't hurt them.'"

Mr. and Mrs. Matthews stood at the top of the hill, waving good-by to the Thornes. Elmira felt once more of the precious three dollars in her apron pocket.

"Matt," she said blissfully, " 'pears like I'll go t' that party after all. Still, my conscience ain't feelin' powerful peart. I reckon as how the good Lord ·s tell in' me about the sinful way I took all that money off those pore city folks fer that ol' pitcher."

"Huh," snorted Uncle Matt, disdainfully, "don't you feel bad, Elmiry. What them folks hain't got th' sense t' know ain't goin' to hurt them any, nohow."

Then they both walked reflectively back to the postoffice.

A1 OLD HOUSE

Gray, desolate, weather-beaten They're tearing down an old house on the street ~where it has stood for centuries. The old postman will miss it on his beat. -129-

It wa a handsome, sightly place

Of fine wood and shingles and all of that And worthiest of materials

The place, for long years, an aristocrat.

The folk within, a kindly lot

A patrician kindness, no doubt, and yet Their live well-spent. They are no more And only ghosts walk now, to wail regret.

It stands empty-bereft of life

The windows are broken-one wall is gone. They take its skeleton away

On wooden beams and wheels of iron.

A few weeks and months pass by, and then In the ame quiet, lovely pot there stands

A house or two-small and cosy

With gardens and flower in gay bands. They're white and brisk and stucco too And stand in happy, laughing, homely rows, Gay-content in the old hou e's stead. They mu t be like their owners, I supp? e.

WA DERLUST

It isn't that I don't like high school; I'm only di satisfied. I'd like to look at the budding flower

To see that they haven't died.

My heart is torn 'twixt two opposite things, My duty and my desire.

Should I wander forth into flowering fields Or wade through a Latin mire?

The Dream Plane

Characters

Jack Ame , a middle aged man.

Dick Learby, an acquaintance who by force of circumstances has become a true fr '. en:i to Learby.

Donny Sampson, the ship's "bore".

The scene is laid on the deck of a transatlantic steamer. It is dusk and most of the pas engers are in the brightly lighted lounging room which can be seen at the back. There is silence for a moment and then one of two figures beside the rail break , out:

A mes: For heaven's sake, Dick, say something, anything-can't you?

Learby: Don't get excited, Jack. Everything's all right!

A mes: All right! It's no telling where she is by now. She may have run into a storm or lost control of her plane or--

Learby: Calm down, old chap; some of tho e fellows inside will hear you. You know perfectly well that if there i any woman in the world capable of making that trip, it's Betty!

A mes: Oh, it's ea y enough to talk-but if your daughter were up there- ome place-with one chance in a hundred of making it, you-you'd be more than nervous!

Learby: I don't blame you a bit, old fellow, but you can't help her any thi way. You'll hear in a little bit. (Takes out watch.) It's eight thirty-five. now. If everything goes all right she'll be in Paris by hine.

A mes: If everything goes all right- it down, Dick. I've got to talk to someoneI can't tand it any longer--

Learby: Why, of cour e, tell me anything. You know I'll keep mum about it.

A mes: Dick, if Betty fails I'll have been responsible-I'll have killed her-killed her--

Learby: Here, here, you're just letting this excitement get away with you--

A mes: Don't be a fool, Dick. You know I'm not a man to let my nerves get the best of me, but-but--

( From inside are heard shouts.)

Learby: (Springing toward door.) Hey, ampson, what' the report? Has he been sighted?

Sampson: (Appearing in doorway.) Yeah! The plane was seen by the Waterfort a few minutes ago. She'll succeed now! There's no doubt about it. Have you ever ~een the pilot-either of you?

Learby: Why, yes, once or twice.

Sampson: Some peach eh, what? I met her once, just after her husband wa killed. Man , she sure wa thin, but as good looking a they make 'em!

Learby: Yes, she is a very lovely young woman. Say , Samp on, Ame here doesn't feel very well. Do you suppose you could ask Dr. Lenting to come out here after while?

Sampson: Sure! But about this girl-you know really he ha n't--

Learby: Thanks! We'll see you in the morning then. Good night!

Sampson: Er-er-good night.

Learby: Good night!

(Sampson exit.)

A mes: See, the whole country knows her, talks about her and now she' out there in the dark and cold-alone-she always hated the darkne so.

Learby: ever mind, Dick; if she wins everything will be all right. Ames: But if she fails, I'll have been responsible, don't you see? I'll have killed her. I'll have done it--

Learby: Ames, they'll all catch on if you're not quiet. Sit down here. That's better. ow, Dick, uppose you tell me all about it. I've never really been able to see how you could let her go-alone.

A mes: Yes, you've been mighty good to me, Dick. I'll tell you. After Lucille died it seemed to me at first as though no one could mean what she had, but Betty was-was--

Lear by: Look here, old chap, if it's going to make you feel worse--

A mes: Somehow I felt as if I understood Betty-perhaps more than Lucille did. Because I-I understood what she felt, I didn't object when she married young Lenful. Somehow I felt that-coward that I am-if I did cross her we might lo e some of the loveliness of our companionship. Instead of giving up his profes ion as I, old fogy perhaps, expected, he taught her to fly a plane unt il he boasted that she was the best woman flyer he had ever known. You remember the way the public greeted his death? He was a brave young lad. But Bettvshe-she was so calm and white. I remember the night we heard the nevvs. Betty beside the radio in a black gown looking more like her mother than ever before and we heard the words: "The plane sank rapidly and the hip reached - 131-

the pilot too late." That wa Betty' birthday pre ent. he- he was different after that-as if she'd built up a wall-a thin but an in urmountable onebetween us. Then one day she told me she wa going to fly aero . Everyone wa again t it, but I couldn't stop her. She had said, "Dad, you'll under tand. I feel a if I'd be closer to him out there, and if I win I'll have finished his work." I shouldn't have let her go-if she make it-but she hates the dark--

LearbJ• : She will, old fellow. She'll do it. We'll hear in a little bit now that he's landed in Paris. Then you can take her back home. It's almost nine. (Cheers-then a groan-from inside.)

A mes: They've heard- he's landed-(Sampson enters.)

Sampson: Say, can ou beat it? She was a good enough flier to make Pari and then couldn't land. That just shows a woman' no good in an emergency--

A m es: Couldn't land-couldn't--

Sampson: She crashed. That's all we've heard. I'll ee if there's any more news. (Sampson exit.)

A mes: She crashed-era hed--

Learby: She may not have been killed. Brace up, old fellow, brace up.

(Sampson enters.)

Sampson: Say , it's sure too bad--

A mes: What happened?

Sampson: Give me time. he was pretty badly hurt, but she talked quite a bit, something about a dream plane that guided her over the sea, but couldn't come down to earth to help her land. That was why she crashed. She aid the plane could take her back.

Ames: And--

Sampson: She died-and the people there on the field-could hear the whir of a plane although there weren't any out. Funny, isn't it?

Learby: Don't look like that, Ames; it was all for the best. You--

A mes: Why was it funny? She made it-got aero with him-she won--

Sampson: Did you know her, Mr. Ames?

A mes: Know her? No, I'm afraid I'd only met her.

ROMA CE

Out of history's dusk they come, the figures of bright romance; Errant knight in shining armour, soldier with gleaming lance, Kings and princes, lord and peasant, ships on the sparkling sea; Across the clouds they seem to march, a gallant company.

Silks and satins, gold and silver, treasure in pirate holds, Soldiers of fortune, men of daring, ves els with spiced loads, Savages in hidden forest , explorers of far-off lands, Moors in feathered helmets, across the desert ands.

Once more we seem to see them, the pageant of the years, Sharp-edged swords and prancing chargers, and silver lines of spears; Once again they march across the page, again we hear their cries, Romance once more calls us to the page where history lies.

DRAMA

Introductio n

"It' work, all right, but there's nothing like it!" say our actors in commenting on dramatics at Lincoln high school. Their trials are numerou . Included are the sacrificing of other outside activitie for a six-weeks period, daily practice until meal time, the forfeiture of hitherto enjoyed Saturday morning slumbers, and the ever-pre ent fear that one may not appear in the final performance after all. But arrayed against uch depressing reflections are the thrills of being ·a functioning part of the large enterprise, the fun of rehearsals, the diver~ion of stealing trips to the cafeteria between acts and the elation that comes with seeing one's likeness posted in the hall on the illuminated bulletin board.

A sy tern of understudies was introduced into the plays of the past season by Miss Mary Yabroff, new dramatic coach. In the Mummer production understudies were assigned only to the principal parts. In the enior play each character was understudied, and one week before it pre entation the final cast vvas cho en. After the tryouts for the junior play a double cast was announced, each person having an equal chance of appearing in the final production. This new type of rehearsing has been brought down to a fine point and its practicability has been proved.

Each play was shot through with difficulties, only the ingenuity of the casts and coach carrying through the enterprises. In the senior play, which was produced at the height of the influenza epidemic, one of the principals and his understudy were stricken. William Crooks, president of the Mummers, committed the lines in less than half a day, a suming the part at the eleventh hour, thu very capably averting a catastrophe. Despite the fact that practically one-third of the student body was confined at home with influenza, the play progressed on even keel with an attendance that made it a success financially, as it wa dramatically.

These annual productions will perhaps be enhanced next year by a new artistic drop instead of the worn-out asbesto now in u e. With the addition of curtains of corresponding pattern over the windows and doors, the auditorium will present a plea ing aspect to performer and spectator alike. The e improvements are the gift of the 1928 and 1929 graduating classes . Plans for other innovation for the auditorium -are taking form and as soon as sufficient funds are collected more definite work will be begun.

It is inevitable that the airplane and its devotees should take their places in the drama of the present day. In the modern theme of this play one witnesses the rapid unraveling of tangled circumstances brought about by the sudden fall to earth of the Kangaroo, which sets its passengers down in the midst of a Long Island house party.

The unfortunate aviators, Ward and Winnie, find themselves mi taken for detectives who have been ummoned to inve tigate several thefts. Upon meeting two attractive young ladies of the household, they decide to adopt the po e in hopes of forming a closer acquaintance.

DEEP WATER

The concluding play of the season, staged by the junior class, March 15 and 16, with the following cast:

CAST

Billy Armstrong ....................... Clyde Wedgewood

Wenda Armstrong ...................... Valentine Klotz

Caleb Armstrong ....................... Bernard Jennings

Caleb's wife, Sylvia . ................. .... Lucile Reilly

Mrs. Pat Mulligan ........................ Dorothy Cook

Constance Armstrong ................ .... Helen Calhoun

Herbert Ros , friend of Constance ........... Donald Q~inn

Doctor Wood ........... : .......... Elmer Anderson

Julian Armstrong ................. Billy Mobley

High school tudents:

Evelyn Dierks, Leo Hill, Catheryne Hune , Catherine eal, Helen Lindberg, Burkett Re y nold , De Marie Hilliard, Dan Easterday and Vivian Cummings.

With ingredients as commonplace as the familiar trials of an everyday household , the juniors lent a new and sympathetic light to the home and family. The play instilled an appreciation of the adventure of raising a family, and revealed deftly the rewards of parental love and sacrifice: the father's satisfaction when his faith in his daughter and the younger generation are restored, the mother's happiness in the realization that her striving to make the best of conditions ha not been in vain.

Caleb Armstrong, interpreted by Bernard Jennings, is a man of middle age who has fallen into a rut and chafes at the monotonous dutie of a floor walker. He calls himself a failure and is nervous and irritable, like one near the breaking point. Lucile Reilly, as Sylvia, played the part of mother and devoted wife. In the role of Connie, a daughter, Helen Calhoun depicted the typical high school girl, who warrants, perhaps, a great deal of the resentment her father feel toward the younger generation.

The story is of Caleb and Connie, and of their finding themselve and each other. With the encouragement of the doctor and the faith of his wife and little Billy, Caleb goes to New York to win a prize and subsequent eminence in the writing field, Connie accompanying him. Upon their return Connie, if no less gay, is more thoughtful and has forgotten to pride herself on her sophistication; and Caleb, who has won the prize, is happier, and ready, if neces ary, to resign himself to his former position and place hi hopes on his youngest son.

BOYS SPORTS Season Review

"Victor sits on u becomingly," aptly tated our principal, Mr. French, in a . summary of the 1928 football season. Verily, Lincoln is so accu tomed to victory that even the most pe simistic fans at the outset of the 1928 season felt confidence in Coach Browne's ability to build another "wonder team." As a sculptor fashions a statue from a rough piece of granite, Coach Browne took raw recruit and built a perfectly functioning team, whose main asset was team work rather than power and speed. With three veterans as the nucleus and second team graduates filling the other vacancies, an eleven was built up which, if it did not achieve the spectacular and notable victories that former Lincoln teams have shown us, fought with a spirit of loyalty and fortitude hard to surpass.

In the season's last game Omaha Tech managed to score twelve points within the first ten minutes of play. Our field wa a sea of mud. To any other team like conditions might have spelled defeat , but they only furnished an incentive for harder fighting to our eleven ~teel men. Throughout the second and third quarters the team fought determinedly, struggling constantly . to push the ball acros the coveted goal. At every turn obstacle arose; it seemed a hopeles struggle. Tech was fighting with that vigor and spirit for which we well call her our "traditional rival."

Finally, when the fourth quarter was half gone, precise machine work and Lincoln spirit engineered a touchdown. Our team, who e goal line had heretofore been uncrossed, was not to end the season with a defeat. Little short of a machine gun and an arsenal of ammunition could have fazed the scarlet horde as it surged through for a touchdown, an extra point and another undefeated eason. The grand finale a la Ralph Henry Barbour do ed one of the game classics in the history of Lincoln high school athletics.

The Lincoln defense was about as immovable as a concrete dam. Tech was the only opponent to cross our goal line. The backfield , containing the "gold du t twin ," Sauer and Bauer, big bad Bernie Masterson and Joe Luchsinger, furnished four hor emen who were nightmares to their opponenL

The only mar on the season's record-and it can scarcely be called that-was the scoreles tie with the formidable Washington high school team of Cedar Rapid , Iowa. Grand Island failed to repeat its 1926 victory by a scant three points, acquired by the - 137 ;__

toe of Captain Schmitt. Other games of the season were won decisively, with large margins.

Coach Browne stated that he received more real enjoyment out of coaching the 1928 team than from any other Lincoln high team because it had seemed inconceivable to produce a winning eleven containing only three former letter men, and because numerous teams and individuals throughout the state openly asserted that 1928 would be the year of Lincoln's downfall from athletic supremacy.

The Lincoln gridsters met St. Joe for the initial performance of the 1928 football season in the Lincoln high oval. Both teams demonstrated unusual ability for an early season game. The backfield functioned with precision and managed to accumulate thirty-one points. Captain Schmitt, because of his stellar work at tackle, won individual honors. Matuska was high point man of the game, scoring two of the touchdowns and one extra point. Weyand, Bauer and Joy also contributed a touchdown apiece. The St. Joe team was unable to cross Lincoln's goal line.

Hastings traveled to Lincoln for the second game of the season. The game was played under conditions favorable to lemonade sippers; the tropical climate proved to be a curse to those who were attempting to put on weight. Lincoln scored her first touchdown early in the first quarter when Masterson intercepted a Tiger pass. The other two touchdowns were made in the fourth quarter. Only one of the extra points was made.

Old Pluvius cont:nued to play tricks on the Red and Black pig-skinners. His attempt to make up for the heat during the last game's tropicality caused the Lincoln men to don their oilskins and hunt around for rubbers. The first invasion into out-of-state territory was successful, and the Lincolnites bagged a 24-0 win. The battle was waged for the most part in Tee-] ay territory and the Lincoln goal was uncrossed. Thomas Jefferson at Council Bluffs was submerged completely.

The Lincoln team came through with flying colors- to cap the annual color day battle from Beatrice. The team was handicapped by the absence of Prestegaard, regular center, who was, forced to remain on the side lines. The final score was 30-0.

The first Omaha foe to attempt to stop the capital city avalanche was Oµiaha Central. The Purple and White left Creighton field with drooping colors. The Lincoln team scored 46 points, the largest number of points ever scored by a Lincoln team on an Omaha field. The Brownies demonstrated a powerful offense and an invulnerable defense and gained 302 yards from scrimmage. The Lincoln goal remained uncrossed.

Captain Schmitt's educated toe saved Lincoln from dishonor in a muddy battle with Grand Island. The three points came in the last three minutes and enabled the Red and Black team to keep a clean slate. The Islanders had hopes of repeating their 1926 ·victory, but were disappointed because of the work of Masterson, Bauer and Joy.

Lincoln was unable to gain its former stride in the game with the famous Cedar Rapids high school. Although the ball was frequently within striking distance of the Iowans' goal the Red and Black men were unable to push it across. A stiff breeze hindered the punting of both teams. The determined defense of each was responsible for the scoreless tie.

Last on the Lincoln high school schedule was the game with Omaha Tech on the home field. Tech scored two freak counters in the first ten minutes of play. Lincoln refmed to concede the mythical state title to the Techsters and, because of unfaltering determination, the Red and Black managed to score I 3 points in the last ten minutes of play. Honors were evenly distributed; the whole team covere~ itself with glory. The 1928 football season closed with an exhibition of the most spirited fight of football men that ever appeared upon the Red and Black oval. The Lincoln team scored a phenomenal victory over discouraging odds.

Reserve Football

The reserve football team is the punching bag or tackling dummy for the first team. A good second team raises the standai:d of play of the mighty vars:ty Lincoln high school has in late years been blessed with the dew of heaven, namely, a strong second team which makes Coach Browne roll over and butter himself with glee.

The reserve team at present represents Lincoln high school in the greater Lincoln league. Only sophomores and juniors are eligible for participation. The 1928 season

was not as successful as usual, but the eight semester rule made it necessary that the

cream of the second team should mix with the first team.

Co a ch Brown e

In the fall of 1922 W. Harold Browne became head of the Lincoln -high school athletic department. Since then Browne ' s teams have been rapacious in their cravmg for state titles and national honors. Lincoln has staged sixty-four contests and emerged victorious m sixt y Three defeats are the only blotches on an otherwise perfect record.

Mr. Browne, not being content with turning out champion athletic teams, has formulated an athletic program which involves every boy and girl in the school. Two hours of credit for participation in after-school sports is required of every able bodied boy and girl foi: graduation. Without Coach Browne Lincoln wouldn't be "King of the Mount." We owe our present position of athletic superiority largel y to him.

The Oval

This year the student body of Lincoln high school has completed an enterprise which has given this school the distinction of owning a permanent concrete oval for major athletics, This undertaking not only gained Lincoln high national recognition, but it has also established credit locally. The oval is unique in that it is the ·only high chool stadium in the world that ha been wholly paid for by the tudent body without financial aid from the board of education.

The funds which made thi undertaking possible were voluntarily loaned to the student body by forty prominent citizens of Lincoln, each of whom signed a note for 500. The notes were held by Mr. Charles Stuart v ho acted as trea urer of the fund. This loan was made five years ago and since then the various organizations of the school have been making small but frequent payments on the debt which amounted to $22,764.83 including interest. This interest was not compounded but was figured annually from the original loan.

The need for a permanent athletic field first became urgent when the Un:ver ity of ebraska decided to tear down the old stadium to make room for the new, and thus left Lincoln high without a suitable field for football and other major sports. To have such a playground had long been a dream in the mind of those connected with Lincoln high , but until 1923 nothing other than ecuring a few contributions toward a fund for construction had been done in a material way. Under the rnpervision of Mr. H. P. Shepherd, who was then principal, a committee of students and faculty was appointed who made plans for the project and submitted them to the assembled students where they received almost unanimous upport.

Over a period of five years the organizations, publications and other associations of the school have made frequent payments on this debt. Shortly after the close of the 1928 football season the athletic association borrowed $1000 from the student activities fund. This was used to make the final payment on the debt.

On February 19 the students witnessed an assembly celebrating this event. A large group of men who had furnished the bonds for the construction were present and received the cancelled notes from l\t1r. Charles Stuart, the treasurer. Speeches were given by Otho K. DeVilbiss of the class of 1923 and Paul Calhoun, president of the- student council, who told the history of the wall. Mr. French tendered the thanks of the school to the men who had financed the project and Mr. 0. J. Fee replied in their behalf.

In this way Lincoln high schooi, with the loyal support of the citizens of Lincoln, has shown that it is capable of planning and finishing enterprises which tend toward the general betterment of the school, the commun:ty and the welfare of the students to come.

Basketball Season

Coach Browne began the 1928-29 basketball eason with but two letter men and nine second team graduates. Lincoln showed a powerful offeme throughout the season and managed to accumulate 669 points to the opponents' 382. The Red and Black hoop hound won nineteen out of twenty-six games and captured cla s A honors in the di trict tournament at We leyan.

With five victories in six starts it wa evident that Lincoln was going to have another successful basketball season. In the fir t game of the season the Scottsbluff team invaded Lincoln territory. The lanky We terners were forced to return with a 44 to I 5 defeat. Creighton Prep of Omaha furnished much tiffer competition on the following evening.

The Lincoln team staged a barn storming tour during the Christmas holidays. Benedict and Wymore fell before the Red and Black onslaught. Hastings furnished the hardest tu sle of the ea on when the Brownies were forced to make a spirited fourth period rally to emerge victoriou 19 to 14. The next game wa played at Grand I land and the third city boys managed to defeat the Red and Black 19 to q, the same score hung up in the Hasting conflict. The rangy Islanders were on the losing end of the score until late in the fourth quarter.

Lincoln revenged herself for the three ,defeats handed to the 1927 team by sending the Cardinals back to Crete with the tail end of a 21-10 score.

Lincoln besieged the metropolis and was successful on a fifty-fifty basis. Omaha Central lost to the Lincoln team, but Omaha Tech made amends by winning 23 to 19.

On the second barn storming tour of the season the Lincoln team defeated Omaha South 28 to I I. St. Joe nosed out the Red and Black I 7 to 16, and upon the following evening the formidable Wyandotte high of Kansa City defeated the Brownies 30 to 12.

Lincoln played Crete in the Crete "barn" for the second clash with the Cardinals. The Cardinals made it one game all by winning 24 to 23.

Lincoln hit her stride once more when she turned back on the Superior quintet by a 46 to 7 score on the home floor. One of the unusual things about the 1929 eason was the uncanny ability shown on the home floor and the lack of scoring points manifested in foreign territory.

A valiant group of Red and Black warriors turned back the Maroons of Omaha Tech in the second encounter of the season with a stinging defeat of 22 to 17 on the home floor. On the following evening Sioux City was defeated 24 to 21 in a wild melee in Lincoln territory. The work of Witte and Sauer stood out in each of the contests.

Omaha Central tasted defeat for the second time by a lopsided score of 25 to I I. The game was stormy and team play was sadly lacking.

A determined Lincoln aggregation faced the apostles of St. Paul on the home court the following evening. Art Lynch, the elongated tip-off of St. Paul, was the star of the fray and . it was his shots from dizzy angles a nd his wild swishes from midcourt that spoiled the hopes of the Lincoln team. The boys were defeated, but they are to be commended for their game effort. They came closer to uprooting the kingly throne of the 1928 champ than any other team on the St. Paul chedule. If Witte had not been forced to leave the fracas it i doubtful whether the story would have been a tragedy instead of a comedy. A it was eloquently put in the Advocate, "By this game, the Links served notice upon all rivals in the state, barring none, that they were out for the state title and meant to get it." The 22 to 26 defeat was handed to the Lincoln team after a rambunctious e~tra period.

The Red and Black hoopsters played University Place for the last non-tourney game of the season. The suburbanite ' spirited efforts were futile and when the final gun sounded the Lincoln team were victors: 22 to 13.

Wesleyan Tou r na ment

The Lincoln team demonstrated a ragged brand of basketball m the di ~trict tournament at Wesleyan. Hickman threw a scare into the Lincoln team in the first game of the tournament. Wa v erl y was downed in the second round 48 to 10, The Lincoln team met Wesle y an Prep in the class A finals. Wesleyan led at the half in a I I to 8 score. The efforts of Hoag , the star of the uburbanites, camed much anxiety in the Lincoln camp. L:ncoln went on a scoring spree in the final canto and emerged victorious with a 2 I to 1 7 score.

State T ournament

Lincolnites demonstrated their uperiority over the Kimball team in the opening round of the annual basketball tournament in the Universit y of ebraska field house. Ayres was the star of the game, contributing IS out of the 35 points. McCook succumbed to the powerful offensive of the L:ncoln team in the econd round by a :31 to 7 score. Sauer ~vas high point man of the fray. It was the McCook team which eliminated the Red and Black hoopsfers last year. Hastings proved to be the stumbling block , or rather the auction block, upon which Lincoln wa sacrificed. The Lincoln team could not hit its early tournament tride, shot after hot fell short, set up after set up was missed by the Lincoln team. Witte saved the team from utter humiliation b y scoring 13 out of 18 points. Hackran, lanky Ha tings center, was mainly responsible for Lincoln's defeat. The tournament hopes of the Brownies had vanished, but nevertheless the team died with its guns smoking. St. Paul nosed out Hastings in the finals, thus winning the fray.

Reserve Basketball

The Lincoln reserve basketball team, under the guidan-:e of Coach I van C. Overman, finished its last season by winning the Greater Lincoln league tournament. College View was defeated for the champ"onship honor. The junior Links, after a season of ups and downs, demonstrated their tournament superiority by defeating University Place in the opening round and Havelock in the semi-finals. Carlson won individual honors on the team by scoring nineteen points during tournament play. Yelk:ns and Wampler stood out at guard positions and Martin hit the hoop regularly from forward position.

Thus we see that in their sphere of compet1t10n the reserves covered thrmselves with glory and they deserve some credit not usually bestowed upon underclassmen. Coach Overman merits a great deal of appreciation because of his work in coaching this team. He has produced a champion aggregation'.

Track

The Lincoln track team, under the leadership of Cecil Fulcher with Coach Sed Hartman as pedagogue, burned up the cinders during the 1929 season. The dual meet with Omaha Tech which was to have opened the season's competition was postponed. The first meet of the season in which the team wa entered was the annual invitation meet at Wesleyan. Hard luck dogged the heels of the Lincoln speed merchants at the Hastings relays. The state meet climaxed the season, Lincoln's victory proving to be a godsend to her track reputation. All men who had not placed in the state meet were entered in the Greater Lincoln League meet. In spite of the conspiracy of the opposing aggregations, Lincoln retained the championship. Lincoln showed up creditably in the Big Five meet and managed to hold her own with the cream of midwest track stars.

Lincoln's dark horses galloped their way to victory in Group IV of the annual state track meet on May I I. The victory came as a big surprise to high school fans. Weir started the fireworks popping by winning first in the I 20-yard high sticks. Treat won third place in the high jump and Ayres won his heat of the mile, showing Paavo - Nurmi form during the first three laps and a Roland Locke finish. Zinnecker heaved the fish platter to win third in the discus. John Gregor y proved to be the iron man of the meet by vaulf ng eleven feet even. Gregory's best previous effort was ten feet. Meyers and Fowle placed one, two, in the javelin , thus closing a perfect da y, compiling a total of twent y - even points and n os ing out our honorable opponent, Omaha Tech, by three points.

GIRLS SPORTS

Baske tb a ll

The senior team, under Edna McReynolds, captain, won the girls interclass basketball championship. Both the sophomore and junior teams struggled valiantly to defeat the seniors, who were champions last year as juniors, but neither was quite equal to the task. Both teams, however, gave the seniors a good battle and the playing was fast. The senior second team, not to be outdone by the first team, defeated both the sophomore and junior second teams. When the juniors played the sophomores, the margin of victory for the juniors was one point.

Competition for places on these teams, which were selected by Geraldine Baker, basketball leader , Miss Story and Miss Horner , was keen. Consequently each class was represented by a good team. The class tournament ended the nine weeks basketball season. Miss Stor y had charge of the beginners, who developed rapidly under her direction; and Miss Horner had charge of the advanced players.

Each group had a color tournament, participated in b y si x teams. 1n the tournament for the beginners the Yellow team, captained by Irene Stastny, won. In the

L Girls

To win an L is one of the most cherished aims of every G. A. A member. Six hundred points is the requirement for an L. Two stripes and an emblem are awarded for an additional five hundred points. These points are secured in after-school sports, in track and wimming meets and in individual sport such as horseback riding and ice skating. Members of class teams win additional points which help toward winning the coveted letter.

Geraldine Baker, Ruth White, Doroth y Moble y and Bettie Kilgore all r&eived their L's at mid -year. Geraldine and Ruth, newly entered seniors, obtained their points through hockey, soccer and swimming. Doroth y Moble y , a junior , specializes in soccer and basketball but excels in all sports. Bettie Kilgore , ba ketball star, has the unique record of securing 15 points in ever y sport she has taken.

Doroth y Charleson , Kathleen Robinson and Marian McLaren all recei v ed their L's in Januar y, I 928. Doroth y and Kathleen , both killed in all kinds of athletics, have since obtained their two stripes and emblems.

Lat June , Erma Adkins , anc y Rife, Helen Kaufmann , Ann Kisler , Marvel Stastny , Glad ys Haagensen, Fred a Bernhardt and Pauline Grasmick were awarded their L's . Erma Adkins, senior basketball forward and occer star, has also earned two stripes and an emblem. anc y Rife excels in baseball and soccer. Helen Kaufmann won her points mainl y through field sports in which she is v er y proficient , especiall y in track . Ann Kisler's points were obtained in basketball, track and soccer. Mar vey Stastn y 's favorite sport is basketball. Glad ys Haagensen likes swimming and hiking be t but has been active in all sports. Freda Bernhardt is a brilliant defensive pla yer in all sports. Pauline Grasmick has been especiall y active in the diamond sport. This June five girl s completed their requirements for L's . Two of these , vere Elizabeth Francis and Vera Weyand. The y play everything well , but their fa v orite sport is basketball. Edna McRe ynolds, senior basketball captain, also secured her L this June. The other two were Harriet Woods and Irene Denham. Harriet takes a keen interest in swimming, but Irene, a st ar baseball pitcher, is more interested in field port Bettie Willson , who obtained her L when a sophomore , is an expert swimmer and diver.

Skating and Hiking

Every week end, when the weather permitted, and sometimes when the mercury ran low, Elizabeth Francis, hiking leader, organized a party for a tramp to some point not far from Lincoln. Saturday mornings were mo ,t frequently chosen for these excursions, and occasionally the girls walked on a Friday night by moonlight. The longest tramp was to Stevens Creek, about ten mile from Lincoln. Ordinaril y five or ten miles is enough to satisfy the wanderlust. Most of the girls earned twenty-five G. A. A. points by walking forty miles a semester. A few earned fifty points for which they had to go eighty miles.

One of the most interesting hikes was held on a snowy Friday during vacation. Sleds were fastened to Mis Story's car for a wift ride. Such things as street car tracks and pavement not covered by snow proved to be but minor obstacles to the fun. If the sleds were overturned the laughter increased, but when the snow became slushy, it was not enjoyable to be tipped off.

Swimming

Swimming is one of the favorite sports in ~incoln high school. Many girls who have never experienced the thrill of aquatic sports-reveberating echos of the tank room, white light and the sparkling green water with its invigorating chill-acquire first knowledge of them in the pool. After a brief acquaintance with the elementary side in a physical education class, they usually desire more and register for after-school swimming. Quite a number of these girls develop into extremely good swimmers. Some who already know how to swim and have spent many cool mid- ummer afternoons in pools and lakes are delighted that they may pursue their favorite pastime in the winter months.

The swimming meet is the high point of interest in the season. Jean Beachl y, a sophomore and a member of the winning relay team, won individual high point honors when she placed first in the 20-yard dash, free style, the 20-yard dash side stroke and the swan dive. The other members of the team were Louise Winterhalter, Marjorie Campbell and Emily Hickman. Mary Tobin and Marjorie Campbell, sophomores, and Marian McLaren, a enior, tied for ~econd place in the individual point ratings. Others who won points were Dorothy Charleson, Kathleen Robinson, Erma Adkins, Gladys Haagensen, Blanche Carr, Ruth Mann, Elizabeth Barber, Leona Chase, Marian Gugenheim, Mary E. Proud fit, Katharine Simpson and Jean Speiser. Miss Lillian E. Story had charge of all the after-school swimming classes. Her assi tants were Dorothy Charleson, Mary Tobin and Katharine ·Simpson.

Baseball

It takes more natural ability, training and practice to become a good baseball player than to become proficient in almost any of the other sports. However, the fact did not seem to hinder any of the girl baseball enthusiasts. About eighty girls reported for baseball. They were divided into two clas es under the direction of Miss Katherine Horner.

Strike-outs were more numerous than ba ~e hits, but this did not seem to disturb the player They came to bat the next time ju t a little more determined to hit something besides air. A tournament was held in which excitement ran high. Because of the muddy field this tournament was fini hed in the gymna ium.

In the class tournament the sophomore team was favored to win. But like numerous other predictions this did not come true. The juniors, aided by the good batting of ancy Rife and Gladys Haagensen, were able to defeat both the sophomores and the seniors.

Hockey

Clashing sticks, the thrill of a long dribble , a block of an almost successful try for goal, the shrill of the referee's whistle and the exhilerating scent of fall air all combine to make hockey one of the most fasc:nating of outdoor sports. Many wished that hockey could be _ held five nights a week instead of three. The two fields east of the building were scenes of intense activity each afternoon under the direction of Miss Katherine Horner and her assistant , Magdalene ·Lebsack.

In the color tournament, which was held after a few weeks of preliminary practice, the upsets of both players and the "dope bucket" were frequent. But these only added to the interest. The black team, captained by Marian McLaren , had the best record.

The climax of the season was the class tournament. The underclassmen, being a minority, were combined to form one team. The class teams were selected by the color team captains, the sport leader, Elizabeth Barber, and Miss Horner. The selfconfident seniors were given a rud e jolt in their first game which resulted in a tie. In the other two games they were able, after a hard struggle, to win by scores of 3 to 2 and 3 to r. Freda Bernhardt, Erma Adkins, and Kathleen Robinson were three very good reasons for the senior triumphs. Dorothy Mobley, Elizabeth Francis :;ind Vera Weyand were prominent members of the sophomore-junior team.

At the end of the six weeks of hockey, the sticks were put away with reluctance. The seniors, who had no more high school hockey to look forward to, were especially sorry to see the close of this enjoyable sport.

Soccer

Soccer, following close on the heels of hockey, grew quickl y into a popular sport, as hilarious as it was breathless. This game was played on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons for six weeks. Miss Katherine Horner and her assistant, Magdalene Lebsack, had charge of both sports. At first the play was ragged, marred by frequent interruptions to have the ball thrown in from out of bounds where some girl's inexpert or over-anxious kick had sent it. Eventually, when a sufficient degree of skill was reached, interesting and exciting games were played.

The round robin color tournament was canceled because of bad weather. The class tournament was held after the muddy ground had frozen solid. The seniors , still too confident in the eyes of the underclassmen, were victoriou The fir t game resulted in a deadlock, but in the second game, which was the deciding one, the seniors defeated the sophomore-junior team. Bettie Kilgore and Gerald ine Baker were important factors in the senior triumph. Irene Denham , sophomore-junior goal keeper , and Maurine Kesler, half-back, played well for the losers. Vera Weyand, a sophomore, was soccer sport leader.

Concessions

One way the G. A. A. serves the school is selling candy and apples at football games. In the past, much of the money thus obtained wa donated to the wall fund. This year the club contributed to a medical fund of which Miss Pound ha charge. At the clo e of the football season, the prize for selling the most candy at the games was awarded to Gladys Haagensen. Dorothy Charleson was the concession manager this year and Kathleen Robinson was her assistant. -155-

Track

Training for olympics wa the chief purpose of a number of the girls who took track. This practice proved very valuable in the chool olympics and perhaps will be a help to some of Lincoln's future girl track stars in international olympics. The most popular event was the high jump. The ability to high jump is a u eful accomplishment when a person is on one side of a fence and wants to be on the other. Broad jumping received attention too. Hurdling was practiced after the hurdles were so altered that a broken toe was not sure to result from a slight mi calculation in the height necessary to clear them. Other event such as dashes and distance throwing were also on the program in track, which was held two afternoons a week under the direction of Miss E. Marie Snavely.

In the track meet held last spring, Virginia Woolfolk won first place in the number of points scored. Gertrude Koolen won econd place and Marian McLaren, third. Because thi book goes to press before result of the meet can be obtained, this year's events cannot be chronicled here.

Tel)nis

To tennis lovers, spring means the resumption of their tennis playing and their efforts to improve in the game. Since the after- ~chool tennis clas es alway have a large enrollment, the courts are crowded and individual instruction is not often available. Despite the fact, the girls learn much about tennis and usually like it. The tennis classes provide those who are already familiar with the racket an opportunity to practice and improve their playing.

Tournaments were held for the girls taking tennis. A lively intere t was manifested in the conte t s. Last spring, in the singles tournament, which wa open to all girls in chool, Marian McLaren defeated her sister aida, in the finals. Virginia Woolfolk and Ruth Grossman reached the emi-finals. Mrs. Cornelia Putney had charge of all the after-school tennis. •

Dancing

Twice a week girls in frocks of pastel shades came to dancing classes where Miss Snavely taught them the intricacies of steps, combinations, po itions and dances. Fine interpretation was made the especial object of the dancers.

In May a Greek myth was portrayed. The story was woven around the lives of Orpheus and Eurydice, telling of his efforts to win her back from death by the charms of his music. The cast was chosen after try-outs of all girls interested in dancing. The large class this year showed the interest of the girls in dancing.

Fro1ics

One aim of the girls athletic assoc1at1on is to provide entertainment and fun. During the first part of the year a general costume party was sponsored for all girls in school, dancing and swimming being the chief amusements. After the basketball season a picnic was given for all the girls who had taken basketball. A similar picnic took place after the spring sports. In the first part of the second semester a party was given in honor of the alumnae.

Olymp i cs

Thi write-up may eem a trifle prejudiced owing to the fact that the author's enthu iasm and class loyalty ha bia ed his literary tyle; too bad a opbomore was unavailable to donate his service.

Darwin, who gave us " urvival of the fitte t," m,ust have experienced the olympics or a similar ordeal. Greek mythology has it that the original olympics were athletic contests. I don't know · whether gladiatorial combat were included, but if they were, the flag rush has proved an apt substitute. The strategy and careful plotting of the seniors upset the physical force of the determined and ambitious juniors. Why shouldn't they have been ambitious? It happens in the best of familie Even Cae ar had his dreams and, likewi e, he was left holding the sack. Like most air ca tle , the juniors' fondest hope floated off into thin air and, after the moke and haze had cleared from off the battlefield, the eniors remained on their stately pede tal and the juniors were "al o rans". It wa to be expected. Maturity and experience were on "our" side.

The work of the girls, the Herculean juniors failed to overco.ne. The senior girls took every event and thu aved the day: ·

Winterhalter and Matuska won the football and baseball throw for the seniors, thu demonstrating the senior ' heaving ability. McLaren and Bernhardt, eniors, demonstrated their superiority by winning the girls ba eball and basketball throws. The next event, the 4-yard da h, was won by Cox, a junior, thus augmenting the juniors' string of track victories Robinson came back for the seniors to win the 40-yard dash for girls, and McReynolds, a senior, won the 60-yard da h. Cox repeated in the boys 7 5-yard dash and aided the juniors in winning the 7 5-yard shuttle relay. The senior girls continued their good work and won their relay. Green and 1\1inor won the lightweight wrestling and boxing for the seniors. Sauer, a senior, be ted Joe Luchsinger in the heavyweight mat event and "Ollie" Soderland hammered his way to victory over "Lillie" Weyand to win the heavyweight boxing for the juniors. The senior girls won the progressive broadjump, a new event introduced this year, and a select twenty-five outtugged the junior twenty-five in the tug-of-war. The other two tug-of-war events went to the juniors. The lightweight battle royal was won by the seniors, but the juniors took first in the heavyweight event.

The juniors outtugged the seniors in the boy tug-of-war. The underclassmen probably got their good form by pulling taffy or tying shoe strings. The pole rush likewise piled up some junior point I can guarantee the flavor of Goodyear heels has gained our lasting favor. After having experienced this entangling alliance ( what George Washington warned us against), I can verify- the report that Darwin was right, principally about the evolution of appendage . At least those boys used or misused every inch of their various phalanges, much to the aches of discontented calves. The flag rush wasn,'t much better, it wa an eye for an eye ( except in my case, and I needed a beef teak). The honorable but not too gentle Chili Armstrong wa unseated from his lofty perch. Joe Luch inger wa the intriguing scoundrel who made away with the flag, much to our chagrin. Summarizing thi final event-thank heavens, the pistol went off.

A good time wa had by all and after four hours scrubbing, the grea ~e paint wac, removed and the seniors prepared for their annual picnic. The juniors retired to their inner sanctums to seek rest and find ome consoling being, to render solace ( or Sloan's linament).

Prologue

( ate: Always omit a prologue. They are very dull. We read one once ourself and know whereof we speak.)

In presenting this sort of humor section, the L:nks has in mind the realization that the American sense of humor is sadly pampered; it is degenerating. People are growing used to hilarious jokes and language which are to the funny spot as rich caramels and chocolates to the sweet tooth. If humor is the sweetmeat of life, it should not be partaken of to the extent that it duils the appreciation for all but the strongest and richest stuff~.

To lose one's delicate sense of humor would be a sad predicament, for the obvious and blatant jokes necessary to send one into fits of laughter could not, of course, be always on tap. What would life be to the one who could not laugh or smile, but must needs look upon a sad and dreary world while his countenance drooped in lugubrious lines and his harassed eyes roved the empty landscape hungrily in search of a morsel of humor which he might appreciate? ( Stop here!)

Wouldn ' t the unfortunate individual look enviously upon the person _ whose twinkling eye caught and transmitted every bit of bright mirth? Wouldn't he give his right arm to see things in a happy light and to be able to associate with people

Therefore, the benevolent Links has looked into the future and decided to start a world-wide movement to preserve the rapidly vanishing good old sen e of humor. Our first lesson to you for cultivating that invaluable sense, appears in t his section and scattered through the advertising section. If you are not the type to smile at such drolleries as characterized Oliver Goldsmith's work , take heart; we know Goldsmith only by reputation ourself. Even the members of the already enlightened Links board started out by aying, "If you can find anything funny in that humor copy-why, I'll laugh at it!" Those happened to be the words of our rare managing

editor who is now one of the most zealous converts of the movement we have inaugurated. The editor-in-chief who once gave tongue to th:s speech, "Put the stuff in a section and label it humor and everybody will laugh," has been renovated and is now an ardent disciple Even the business manager, who e cynicism is widely renowned is a convert.

So, we repeat, take heart We are happy in the realization that you, too, may see the light as we see it and be infused with that inward glow which infuses usalso beam with the same benign expression. We hope that the need and processes of your salvations will not be quite so drastic as those of the Links board members who found the school particularly at a lack for humor and a humor editor and were compelled by necessity to take a cheerful outlook. The section is before you.

Essay on a Cow

A cow is a quadruped with a low gutteral voice and two beautiful eyes. A young cow is called a calf and resembles its parents. A cow has two stomachs, on e on the lower floor and one above She consumes grass, grain and water and tores them in the lower cavity for future use. In her leisure hours, she parks in a secluded spot and gives her elf over to further granulation of the gathered - in u tenance. It has been said, by would-be poets that the cow, while employed in this manner , attains a thoughtful at t itude. This 5tatement may be true but we doubt it

Confessions of a Boy Scout

At the age of twelve I began to take a rabid interest in scouting. I wanted to join the Girl Scouts but mother said no, the girls were too rough. So I became a Boy Scout and a model one at that. I obeyed all the rules and never did anything I shouldn't. I never cus ed or swore except under my breath, I always gave my seat in the street car to a lady, when we reached my corner, and when I did a good turn I would not accept "anything". No sir! I had to be paid what I thought I was worth.

One of the things a scout learns is how to cook. I fried some potatoes one day. After sampling them I decided to be big-hearted and give the rest away. But ,

nobody wanted them ~o I gave them to the dog, Sam. Poor Sam! H e was buried the next day with simple but appropriate ceremonies.

One of the la,vs in the Boy Scout code says, "A cout is thrifty." Thi law explains the popular it y of scouting in Scotland.

Signaling was always one of my pet hobbies in scouting. As a receiver of mesrnges, I established a record for speed. Being cros -eyed I saw double a n d thus received the message before the signaler was half through.

I always liked tracking too. One of my ambitions was to track a bear. I never have done it and I'm really not sorrr. The bear might be angry at being followed and from what I've heard of angry bear~, it's far better to have them on your ide.

This Education Racket

In the old days when one wanted t o make a good impres ion on a person , he used an axe. Today, however, all one has to do is flash a college diploma. Education whe t her in America, in England, or in earnest , is very important. Withou~ colleges where would the football be? P robably back on the farm, playing the part of some pig's raincoat.

Of course, education has its bad points, but so do man y duck hunters. However,

it is only by going to school that we learn that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Still, we are not taught that the longest distance between four legs is a German dachshund. Another thing , by going to school one learns that dog is a noun. Before getting an education one is often tempted to consider a dog as an animal.

Under the guise of education, however, much misinformation is given out For instance, the other day a teacher was heard to say, "When you write, use your heads." This is a deliberate attempt to mislead. A pencil works better every time. Time after time I've heard music teachers say their orchestras would play On the Road to Mandalay, and then to prove this an utter falsehood, the orchestra stayed right on the stage.

Football is a most popular game in school. Any boy who does not get to play, however, can get the same results by taking part in seve n Mexican revolutions.

The H o rror s o f Bai ting a Fish Hook

I don't understand these people who can take a fat, slimy fi h \Vorm and neatly gather it on a fish hook. It makes me shiver to think of it. Whenever I try it I succeed in getting him only part way on. By the time I have enough of him on so that he can feel it, the rest of him begins to wave around in the air like a leaf on a tree during a windstorm. He always wriggles off before I have the courage to push some more of him on.

It is even wor.::e with grub worms. I don't like the way their legs hold my fingers when I pick them up. It is next to impossible to get the hook into their mouths without splitting their heads. And if you split their heads they won't tay on the hook; so how are you going to do it if you're afraid of their legs?

I guess I am too tender-hearted ever to bait a fish hook succes fully.

Enthusia m is like a well-loved necktie or sweater. It's bound to wear out. The word enthusiasm comes from the Czchoslovakian word "krinkinope" meaning "to lose one's head." If one becomes over enthusiastic in the purchase of expensive motor cars or diamond rings, he is likely to lose not only his head but also his pocketbook. In Mexico the people's enthusiasm for a new government often runs riot and in making the change, a riot is exactly what occurs.

An especially in tructive lesson is that on the correct pronuncrat10n I was especially pleased and gratified to learn how to pronounce the word "valet". You can imagine how embarras ing it would be to addre~s my valet incorrectly. irs, ju t think, if you can, of the contempt he would have for me. I it not a terrible thought?

And now, dear irs, I have a reque t to make.
