Olivia M. Pound, assistant principal of Lincoln high school, adviser of girls, and sponsor of the all girls league, has, through her sympathetic and tender understanding, won the confidence of the hundreds of girls with whom she comes in contact. A keen student of human nature, ever ready to listen and counsel, she is ably fitte~ for the responsible position she so well fiVs. She has instilled a human touch into the business routine of the school which ~therwise might become tediously dull.
In addition to her work in this connection Miss Pound is a scholar, an author, and most active in civic affairs.
A true friend and a jovial comrade in the eyes of boys of Lincoln high school, Otto W. Hackman has for two years filled the vital post of boys adviser and assistant to the principal. One of his duties is to fit each boy into his niche in high school life. Many a boy has been caught in some luckless mistake and, through the kind and generous efforts of Mr. Hackman, has been given justice. All of these incidents, trivial as they may seem, have served to cement firmly the friendly feeling toward him here.

Three years, from sophomores to seniors, seems a long time when it lies ahead, but looking backward-what a difference! While we might not wish to take a return trip, we would not have missed the three years of work and play at Lincoln high school, gaining friends and memories that will always last.
We entered in September, 1928, with a membership of six hundred and fourteen, immature but confident, to join the rest of our class, which had enrolled the preceding January. With the coming of the winter class, our total number became one thousand, one hundred and fifty-four.
We decided upon green and white for our colors. Our choice of officers for the first semester was Virgil Y elkin, president; Jack Cassity, vice-president; Dorothy Smith, secretary; Wallace de Brown, treasurer; Russell Morrison, editor; and Raymond Kimmel, sergeant-at-arms.
The class gave neither sophomore assembly nor party , but was represented in an all-school assembly, December 15, 1928, by Margaret Hulfish with a reading and Frank Wilson with a xylophone solo.
Franklin Meier was elected to guide us through the second semester. Remaining offices were held by Alfred Sharrick, vice-president; Una Jean Davis, secretary; Joseph Greenstone, treasurer; Wallace de Brown, editor; and Joseph Blockwitz, sergeant-at-arms. Other participants in student government were Jane Edwards and Bruce Ducker, who sat in the student council, and Harriet Walt and Rachel Baker, who were sophomore members of the all girls league council. Under this leadership we pas sed another milestone on our road. We were now aspiring juniors.
The junior officers, as a whole, were carried over from our choices of the year before. The first semester , we selected Virgil Yelkin to serve as president; J oho Bund y, vice-president; Wallace de Brown, secretary; Jack Cassity, treasurer; Una Jean Davis, editor; and Russell Morrison, sergeant-at-arms. The student council members were Harriet Walt, Betty Baker, Jane Edwards, Harold Soderlund, Alfred Sharrick and John Bundy; all girls league, Leah Carlsen , Alice Kimsey, Mary Lou Lapp and Lorraine Coffman The second semester officers were Franklin Meier, president; Virgil Y elkin, vice-president; Una Jean Davis , secretary; Wallace de Brown , treasurer; Alden Martin, editor; and Clyde Marsh, sergeant-at-arms.
The first real opportunity for us to display our dramatic ability came with the presentation of the junior class play, The Goose Hangs High, by Lewis Beach, on March 7 and 8. The parts were excellently cast, and the three-act comedy was favorably received. Beverly Finkle and Harriet Walt impersonated the vivacious twins; Lillian Cumming and La Verne Lamb, their patient , devoted mother and
father; and Alfred Sharrick and Helen Shelledy, the other two leading roles. Lorraine Coffman was business manager and Denver McClain, advertising manager.
The great day of olympics, the eleventh annual celebration, arrived-a red letter day for the junior class, who scored the third junior victory in the history of the school. "Pride goeth before a fall," proved only too true when the juniors won by a score of 65 to 55. After a short struggle in which several of the husky football men. namely Schmitt, Masterson, Sauer, Joy, Luschinger, and Kneeland, played a large part, the seniors succeeded in keeping their flag waving on high in the color rush. The pole rush also went to the "Reds." Of the 65 points which were sc ored by the "Blacks," the junior girls contributed 30 points toward our victory. The score was just the reverse of that of the last olympics, when the seniors won 65 to 55.
Perhaps the most memorable social affair of the school year is the juniorsenior party. This gay, colorful occasion when we entertained the upperclassmen at the Cornhusker hotel was held on May 17. More than six hundred students danced the evening away. Refreshments of punch and wafers were served the guests and as an added entertainment the Wesleyan quartet sang during intermissions.
The election of the mid-year class resulted in Harold Soderlund's holding the position of president, with Woodrow White as vice-president; Donald Munsell, secretary; Robert Teten, treasurer; Una Jean Davis, editor; and Everett Stuermer, sergeant-at-arms. Those of us who were to be graduated in June made Harriet Walt, president; Jack Cassity, vice-president; Wallace de Brown, secretary; Beverly Finkle, treasurer; Leah Carlsen, editor; and John Carlson, sergeant-at-arms. The senior girls who represented our class on the student council were Jane Edwards, who was president of the council from September till January , and automatically became president of the all girls league council, Leah Carlsen, Lorraine Coffman, Mary Lou Lapp, Una Jean Davis, and Alice Wiren. Beverly Finkle, William Christensen, Robert Lantz, Hugh Rathburn, Philip Yost and Harold Soderlund were elected to the senior boys council seats. Robert Lantz served as council president from January till June, and Leah Carlsen, who was vice-president of the council , headed the all girls league the second semester. Evesia Damewood, Ruby Kleinebecker, Louise Powell, Yleen Reisland , Virginia Sanford and Marjorie Elizabeth Seaton sat in the all girls league council.
October 27 was the one day when we seniors could strut to our hearts content, and we certainly took advantage of the occasion. With green and white caps sitting jauntily atop our proud heads and dusters of the same colors flicking away imaginary objects, we strolled nonchalantly across the stage and remained standing when we had reached our seats, to pour forth our hearts in the song of 1931, which was compo sed and put to words by Ella Egner. This was followed by a locomotive led by Beverly Finkle and John Passmore. When the assembly was over we marched from class to class displaying our colors and designating to all that we were seniors.
The Man of the Hour, by George Broadhurst, was given by the seniors December 12 and 13. Its leading parts were taken by Lorraine Coffman, Francis Sturdevant , Charles Steadman, La Verne Lamb, Harold Brady, Arthur Bailey and Ruth Skiles; business and advertising managers were Mary Lou Lapp and Charles Gruenig , respectively. The success of the play was largely dependent upon the efforts of Miss Gertrude Jones and Miss Mary F. Hullhorst, our class sponsors. The aid of these two teachers throughout the three years of our high school career smoothed over man y a rough place in the road.
Thirty-three candle sticks and six strings of Christmas tree lights were presented to the school by the winter class to be used for the stage decoration at the Christmas assemblies.
Graduation exercises for the mid-year seniors took place January 23 , and we parted with one hundred and sixty-six of our classmates. The two senior speakers were Catherine Maher, who talked on Child Labor Amendments, and Alfred Adams ,
whose subject was Progress in Prison Methods. Twenty-five national honor society memberships were awarded.
The vacancies in the student council occurring with the graduation of four of its members were adjusted as follows: John Miller replaced Philip Yost , Burnham Anderson served in Alfred Adam's stead, Maxine Smith took the place of Lorraine Coffman and Mary Louise Kurk, that of Una Jean Davis. Later Charles Gruenig filled the position of John Miller, who was forced to resign because of the point system. Elections were held again in the senior home rooms with the result that John Miller proved to be the most popular candidate for the presidency; Louise Perry, vice-president; William Christensen, secretary; David Fowler, treasurer; Wallace de Brown, editor; and George Murphy, sergeant-at-arms.
The month of May brings many social functions. Excitement fairly fills the air. Many of our class participated in the state music contest, held in Lincoln May 1 and 2, helping Lincoln high school to win the sweepstakes trophy.
Helen Ledford, a senior, was chosen for the leading girl's part in Victor Herbert's opera Sweethearts, which was presented May 22 and 23.
Beverly Finkle, Gertrude Hill and Charles Steadman represented us in the interclass debates, Charles acting as coach.
The junior-senior party and olympics are looked forward to with great enthusiasm by the seniors. The party, at which eight hundred juniors and seniors were present out of the fifteen hundred to whom invitations were issued, was given May 8, at the Shrine country club. A program of song and dance, announced by the junior class president, Donald North, was presented. William Molden sang, I'm A lone Because I Love You. This was followed with three tap dances by the little Babich sisters, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Babich, a toe-dance by Lois Rathburn and concluding tap dances by the McConnaughey brothers. At ten o'clock everyone hurried to the dance floor, for the Varsity Ramblers, under the direction of Don Almquist, a graduate of '29, had arrived, and the remaining time was gaily spent in dancing. Refreshments of punch and wafers were served. Memories of the evening will surely be cherished along with many others by our class.
We plucked another feather for our cap, May 15, when we rang up a score of 92,½ to the juniors' 27 ,½ in the olympics. Joe Blockwitz, perched atop the flag pole, may not have broken any records for flag-pole-sitting, but he served his purpose well, with the assistance of Virgil Y elkin, who was borne on the shoulders of his classmates, and the cooperation of the other "Reds," in keeping the juniors from reaching our colors. Every lad had a chance to show his physical prowess in the sack rush, for all hands were needed in the fray. That afternoon we finished the celebration of the day with the senior picnic at the auto club park. Box lunches were served, and games and dancmg supplied the entertainment.
With the school year nearing a close, the national honor society once more conferred honors upon a picked number of the graduating class. Sixty-seven seniors were admitted to this distinguished group.
The tale is nearly over. Commencement exercises bring it to an ending. Selma Goldstein, whose subject was What Can fVe Do For Peace? and Charles Steadman, who spoke on the theme, Should the United States Recognize Soviet Russia?, were the senior speakers. The services were held at the St. Paul church on June 5. The Rev. Dr. Paul Johnston delivered the sermon.
Now our activities are , but history. Soon another class will take up the reins where we have dropped them, and carry on for the school. But let us hope that our memory will not fade and die in the minds of our teachers and classmates. Though our paths no longer lie in one direction, and our objectives are not the same; though we cannot relive those memorable years, our class will go on side by side in recollections, the only place where we will always be the same
Miss Gertrude Jones, sponsor of the class of r 93 I, has an understanding heart, a sense of humor, great tact and unbounded kindness; qualities which 'make her an ideal class sponsor.
"This class has been unusually easy to work with," says Miss Jones, "their spirit of cooperation and desire to lessen my tasks has made my position most enjoyable to me." All these qualities may be part of the endowment of the senior class, but she has undeniably been an important factor iµ bringing them to light and making them appear to their best advantage.
The shrewd financial advice and clear business head of Miss Mary F. Hullhorst have carried the senior class through many a difficulty . With unfailing intuition and accuracy she has brought order out of many a class chaos. Unassuming and rather retiring in manner, she is nevertheless always on hand to step into the breach formed by the thoughtless mistakes of those younger and less experienced than she, and do her best to disperse the cloud which has appeared on the horizon.
"They are the finest ever," says Miss Hullhorst in reference to the members of the class of r 93 r.

Junior Cln••
Members of the junior class, seven hundred and sixty-nine in number, began, this year, to assert themselves, having become established in their new surroundings and accustomed to Lincoln high school life.
Gifford Price and Lois Rathburn played the leading characterizations in the junior play, Young A nrerica, which was enacted on March 6 and 7. The proceeds from the three-act presentation were used to pay the expenses entailed by the junior class in acting as hosts to the upperclassmen at the junior-senior party, May 8. This annual affair was given at the Shrine club, earlier, by about two weeks, than it has been before. A program, games and dancing constituted the evenings varied entertainment, which was so arranged that everyone might enjoy himself in one way or another.

The sophomore class has one thousand and eighty-one members. Of this number eight hundred and thirteen are the class of 1933 , entering in January and September, 1930. The rest entered in January, 1931, and are part of the class of '34. They were met by the student council who instructed them in the ways of the school and assigned them home rooms.
The class gave a matinee party on February 6, in the girls gymnasium, which furnished an opportunity for the newly enrolled members to become acquainted. It began with a grand march in which everyone joined. Afterwards the class was divided into five groups, representing some of the families in the comic strips, and played games which were arranged by Miss Frances Ash, recreation directo, for public schools. Eskimo pies were served for refreshments.

.§tudent Council
The student council was headed by Jane Edwards and Robert Lantz for the first semester. Early in the school year an assembly was held for incoming sophomores with council members assisting the home room teachers With the aid of the council, a four-period lunch system was inaugurated; a new loud speaker unit for the orthophonic was purchased for use at the matinee parties; and approximately one hundred and forty dollars worth of colors were sold for school color day which took place October I. Football rallies were held in the oval in place of the usual indoor rallies, with the coach and members of team participating by means of a loud speaker. Near Christmas time, a committee was appointed to decorate the library, study hall, cafeteria, and a few class rooms in which there were no home rooms.
The sponsor , president and vice-president of the organization attended the convention of the federation of student councils held at Omaha, November 20 and 22. This was the first convention attended by Lincoln high school delegates, and they were honored by being placed on a committee to revise part of the constitution of the federation. At the business meeting, the school was elected secretary-treasurer for the ensuing year.
The annual student council banquet was held November 7 in the school cafeteria. Last years council members were invited.
Robert Lantz and Leah Carlsen were elected president and vice-president for the second semester.
Mary Lou Kurk and Frank Tanner compiled the first complete record of all trophies and awards won by Lincoln high school since its existence. During the year, a club schedule calendar was posted on the bulletin board, posters were removed, and the hall guides and locker lieutenants were checked upon by student council members.
The student council spons~red joy night as one of its first activities during this ~emester. An Italian cafe was the setting for the occasion and around this second semester. An Italian cafe was the setting for the occasion and around this scene was built the theme of the program.

The members of the home room representative body are elected by their respective home rooms and serve throughout the school year. This organization is the medium through which the decisions of the student council are transmitted to the students.
The duties of this representative group are to guard the halls during lunch perioqs, to distribute colors for the annual school color day, to collect class dues, to assist with the class and school elections, and to nominate the members of the student" council. The home room representatives also work with the student council in any important matter pertaining to the general welfare of the school.
The main function of the home room representative body this year was to establish an organized cheering group which was the backbone of the rooting section at this seasons football games.
This organization, which is sponsored by Miss Helen Dunlap, had as its presiding officers Charles Gruenig and Alfred Norling.
~illtionilll Honor §ociety
Approximately fifteen per cent of the class of 1931 was chosen to represent Lincoln high school in the national honor society. Since the foundation of the local chapter of this organization in 1927, the desire for membership in it has been one of the motives for studious endeavor.
The basis upon which the members are chosen is primarily scholastic From the students who are ranked in regard to their scholastic ability, in the upper thir d of the class, a faculty committee selects the required number, no more than fifteen per cent. The standards for membership are high scholarship, good character, service to the school and leader hip. Initiative, cooperation with the school authorities, and a spirit of school patriotism also count high in the tests for membership.
The members of this organization are privileged to wear the symbol of the national honor society, a gold, keystone-shaped pin which depicts the arm of you t h holding aloft the fiery torch of scholarship. Membership in this high schoo l organization is as great an honor a n d as coveted as the membership in P hi Beta Kappa is in schools of higher education.
Miss Margaret Proctor is the sponsor of the local chapter of the national honor society.

The Links board deeply appreciates the services of those who gave their time and talent to the production of the 1931 Links. Besides the staff of fifteen which did its work efficiently, H. C. Mardis, principal, lent the book his moral support and advice and was present at some of the more important meetings of the board to help it make decisions. Miss Edna Williams, registrar, compiled the lists of seniors. Other members of the office force who were sources of detailed information are Miss Olive Eastman, Miss Mary Lingle and Miss Dorothy Beever.
It would be impossible to enumerate those who aided without naming a respectable fraction of the student body. For the writing of several stories the editors thank Harold Lauritson, of the faculty, Beverly Finkle, Leah Carlsen, Margaret Test, Charles Gruenig, Robert Lantz, and Dwight Perkins, students. Elizabeth Anderson, a junior, checked names for accuracy.
Students from the commercial department who prepared copy when it was too heavy for the regular typewriting staff to handle were Lawanna Carter, -Verna Hubbard, Alice Kimsey, Opal Kycklehahn, Imogene Lapp, Lois McCandless , Hiva Mills, Marieta Rauch , Beatrice Styer.
The art work on the Links was done by Miss Helen Wilson's classes. Miss Wilson, herself, who acted as art adviser, should be heartily commended for the high standard of the work her classes have done. Thelma Kohiro, Dorothy Gettman, Paul MacLellan , Sidney Dewey and Ivan Haig were the chief contributors.
On account of lack of space the biographies are limited more strictly than in previous years, but thoug~ some interesting features had to be omitted these have been amply covered in such sections as the clubs, music and dramatics.

The next highest was Alice Stone who turned in receipts totaling sixty-eight dollars. Mary Kahm placed third with sales amounting to sixty-four dollars. Alfred Sharrick and Don Lindemann ran a close fourth and fifth.
The other members of the advertising team who contributed greatly to the financial success of the Links were Harlan Allen, Irene Austin, Rose Arrigo, Arthur Bailey, Helen Bauer, Opal Clarke, Lillian Ebner, Richard Fahrenbruch, F ranees Ferrier, Belle Graves, Clive Hilgert, Helen Hill, Harry Kaufman, Dorothy Klerk, Kenneth Kulla, Leora Kurtzer, Arddis Metrakos, Selma Niegel, Lois Pate, Oliver Quapp, and Hollys Teten.

The year of 1930-31 has been in many respects a successful one for debate in Lincoln high school. The Lincoln debaters, though handicapped by a lack of previous interscholastic experience, made a pleasing showing.
• Nebraska high school debaters were fortunate in the choice of the proposition for debate during the year. The formal statement of the question is as follows: "Resolved, that the nations should disarm, except for such forces as are needed for police purposes."
During the first semester, debaters were engaged in a thorough investigation of the question in all its aspects and the first part of the second semester was occupied with practice debates at home.
The Lincoln debaters made their first out-of-town trip on March 9, three teams traveling to Omaha, meeting Omaha South, Central, and North on both negative and affirmative. All of these debates were non-decision aHairs.
Shortly thereafter, in anticipation of the district tournament Mr. Hansen, debate coach, elected the first team. It was composed of Charles Steadman as first speaker, Selma Goldstein, second speaker, and Irving Hill, third speaker, with James Harris as alternate.
In the drawings for the district tournament the affirmative side of the question for both debates fell to Lincoln.
On March 14, Lincoln debated with Jackson high school and lost 2-1. Wesleyan high school was conquered by Lincoln 3-0 on March 29.

Thrills and sacrifices are inextricably mingled with every play presented in Lincoln high school , whether it has a military background, is a comedy, a mystery , or a mixture of all. Aside from the sensations afforded the audience, there are always those of the actors. The buoyant spirits caused by the hearty encouragement of friends who have urged the would-be actors to try for a role; the sinking feeling after try-outs are over and high hopes begin a downward swoop; then perhaps retrials, followed by a period of suspense, waiting for the call slips which may come, but which seem every moment to recede farther into the realm of dim improbable possibilities; all are harrowing to performers. Rehearsals, a proud realization of one's own importance at sight of the pictures on the bulletin board , a first taste of that chill emotion, stage fright, experienced at an advertising assembly, and, at the very last, a Friday strangely free from school studies, so that each may be fresh for the ordeal of first night, help to make up a succession of exhilarating days and nights. But a normal balance is maintained by the less bright and spectacular side of the matter, which includes giving up the usual student activities. A t tending football games, basketball tournaments or parties must be foresworn. The young players devote even the treasured lazy intervals of vacation to practice in order that the action may proceed with well-trained smoothness . But when it is all over, members of the cast have gained in poise and self-possession, which, although not the primary objects, are of concrete value long after the memorized speeches are forgotten.
One phase of work connected with the school dramatics of which audiences usually remain in ignorance is the scenery designing and construction. Under the direction of J. D. Hansen, the members of the stagecraft class contributed a great deal toward the realism and success of the performances. Miniatures for the sets of the various scenes were first made and then copied by the class, which worked for weeks at a time to reprint and remodel old sets or to create entirely new ones. These students also shifted the drops and sections of interiors between acts. Another unit in play production, the lighting, was taken care of by a few from the same group, instructed by C. 0. Morrison. Other unseen workers assisted in making the evenings successful. These included the business and advertising staffs, the sponsors, and the art department. Ushers wore headdresses and other bits of paper costumery designed to accord with the main idea of the play. Bernard F. Nevin directed the orchestras.
The Enemy
The Mummers, this year, produced a play utterly different from anything attempted recently. A play which tries the skill of noted professionals was presented in a really commendable style by the dramatic society.
Laid in the home of a Vienna pacifist in the turbulent days of the war, the play has dramatic moments which were extraordinarily well handled and equally well received by an audience which usually reacts better to a light comedy than to such a play as The Enemy.
Barbara Bates in the role of Pauli Arndt gave a performance in which one was often scarcely concious that she was acting. In an amateur that is a real achievement.
Dwight Perkins and Irving Hill also gave faithful and well-rounded portrayals of the Behrends. Fred Fairchild as the young Englishman and Alfred Norling as the elderly professor were convincing.
• The play moved along with the well-oiled smoothness which is typical of the direction of Miss Frances McChemey, dramatic instructor. Miss Annetta Sprung, general adviser, was also largely responsible for its success.
Channing Pollock was the author of this play which was presented by the Mummers November 14 and 15.

The ~nn of the Hour
A political intrigue involving the essentials of a man's honest y and self-re spect was the basis of the plot in the senior dramatic production. Francis Sturdevant as Alwyn Bennett progressed during the action of the play from an idle , wealth y young man to an efficient, conscientious mayor.
Charles Steadman and La Verne Lamb in the parts of Charles Wainwright, a financier , and Horrigan, the political boss, made a satisfying pair of scoundrels who attempted to force Bennett 's support of an ordinance concerning two rival traction companies. Jane Edwards, in the role of Mrs. Bennett , supported her son in his defiance. A pair of frivolous young people, characterized by Arthur Baile y and Ruth Skiles , together with Harold Soderlund as Judge Newman , added a touch of comedy to the serious situation.
With the help of Henry Thompson , played by Albert Ross, and James Phelan , portrayed by Harold Brady , the young official at last found solutions for all hi s difficulties.

"•una America
A small boy, a dog and a hen house are the familiar objects about which is woven the plot of the junior presentation, Young America. The play deals sympathetically though humorously with the struggles and mi~adventures of one Art Simpson, neighborhood scapegrace, who becomes involved with a young suburban couple.
Lois Rathburn played the part of Mrs. Jack Doray, who takes the boy home with her, in spite of violent opposition from her husband, whose part was taken by Gifford Price. Dwight Perkins was most amusing as Billy Coombs, an irascible gentleman whose favorite grievance is a white poodle. Robert Mann effectively protrayed Nutty Beemer, a little boy who is Arthur's only friend.
Applause and laughter from the audience greeted each entrance of the two canine actors, one of whom restores general harmony among the characters when he is injured, the subsequent cooperation necessary to save his life reestablishing broken friendships. Thus the curtain falls on the proverbial happy ending.
This comedy by Fredrick Ballard was given by the juniors on March 6 and 7.

The Conain: of the Pioneeir
Above, a green-gold bowl upturned O'er all the world. Below, The gray-green, rolling prairie-sea. The winds that come and go From nowhere into nowhere Billow the whispering grass. And over it, from sky to sky The fleet cloud-shadows pass. Now, over the last horizon That shimmers 'neath the sun Wallowing through the waves, the fleets Of prairie schooners come.
Parting the whispering grasses, On, into the West they sail. They spin a ribbon behind them, Dividing the plain-their trail. Twilight drops over the prairies. Quiet falls with the night.
A coyote moans his dismal dirge; The moon floats up. Its light Silvers the rolling grasslands. Shy creatures stalk forth again. But some of the wildness has vanished Since man came across the plain. The prairies, once wide and boundless, Are limited by man.
Progress has bridged untamed spaces Under her widening span. The westward march of empire Another field has won. The boundless freedom of pra iries Dies with the sinking sun.

I gazed spell-bound at the students in that seemingly gigantic auditorium The lights on the platform were bright and their illumination caused faces in the first few rows to appear distorted. I saw those who were ahead of me-jovial, laughing , care· free comrades-go to the front of the platform, throw them~elves on their knees, then fling their hands heavenward as if seeking divine aid. Then I heard the rising tumult of voices from the now excited throng. My friends returned haggard and weary-looking. The terrific pressure upon mind and body was almost more than human strength could endure The man beside me ran his fingers nervously through his shock of tousled hair. Then he, too, went forward to feed the hunger of the milling crowd
The leader of this strange rite or festival called me by name and beckoned. My heart in my throat, fingers nervously twitching, head swimming, I went forward The crowd sat tense as I too knelt and made my prayer, and returned, heart-sick and weary, to my place. The one who followed me incurred the anger of that crowd and hoarse voices shouted "Rotten," "Throw him out," "Bunk," and many other jeering insults . And then their tribal leader made the howling mob depart and our ~pirits returned to us.
You wonder of what this is the story? It tells the cheerleading try-outs in the fall of 1928. The scene? Lincoln high school auditorium.

Just two tickets father had For entertainment operatic; Their location was not bad, But he always was fanatic On folding chairs. Consequently,
He bestowed both tickets on Me, overruling all objections; Saying sternly, "Do be gone, You'll miss the orchestral selections, Cultural airs,"
Magnificently, In the tones most fathers use. But it was wasted contribution Though I went, for the abuse Inflicted on my constitution Created cares.

Pseudo .lcience
He was merely an atom in a lump of coal far under the ground. To distinguish him from the rest, we will call him x-678. For a long while he had heard faint rumblings that were gradually coming nearer. Suddenly he felt a trembling which foretold his escape. One of his friends said that it was merely a miner exploding dynamite. All those about him had been through the circle of atomic life before, but this was his first trip. The coal, with x-678 in the lump, was loaded on a car and carried to the surface. His companion, x-679, said, "We are being carried to the breakers. There we will probably be separated."
A blinding light struck them as the lump of coal came into the sunshine. But the car hesitated only momentarily on its ascent to the building. There a groaning and creaking announced the selectivity process. Down into the depths our friend was carried until at last he brought up with a bang into a dark cavity which was just a trifle less dense than his original hiding place. The car started moving away, slowly at first, but gradually gaining speed.
"Where are we going now?" queried x-678.
"Well, you are stupid if you don't know that," countered x-679, "but I'll explain if you will try to understand."
"Oh, I'll do that, never fear," replied x-678.
"Very well. You see, we are atoms, ninety-two in our family all together. We all move around in our own orbits, as you can see."
This was easily apparent after x-678 had looked around. All the different bodies were vibrating with a set motion at a fixed speed. He noted himself vibrating in the same manner as his fellow prisoners.
"We make a continuous circle of life," continued x-679. "We are now in the state known as coal. We were once parts of trees which fell and were buried millions of atomic periods ago . Great pressure was put upon us and we gradually assumed our present state. In a short while we will be taken somewhere and go through processes which I shall explain a trifle later."
Almost as he spoke a rumbling was heard and they were catapulted out into a more open conveyance to be trundled off somewhere. Soon they went sliding down into a coal bin, as x-679 explained
"From here we will be thrown into a furnace You will be picked up by two oxygen atoms. Of course you know you are an atom of hydrogen?"
"No, that's news to me, old chap," flashed x-678 or 8 as he will be called in the remainder of the story.
"Well, here we go," shouted 9 as we shall designate his companion. It was true; they were suddenly thrust into a seething cauldron of red and white. "I'll see you later, maybe."
Suddenly 8 looked about and saw Oxy I and Oxy 2 coming toward him.
"Come along, young fellow, we'll take you over the ropes again," shouted the spokesman of the pair.
"Why, th- this is my first trip," stammered 8.
"Well then, come on, we'll show you a good time."
"O. K. Let's be gone, then," and away 8 went up a long tunnel into the atmosphere. Here he saw innumerable combinations such as his, one hydrogen atom and two oxygen atoms. Other combinations were in the air also.
A great commotion was seen at one side and they went hastening to it. When they got near enough Oxy I shouted, "What's going on?" No one answered him so he proposed going to find out. They went, getting into an ever-increasing mob until at last Oxy I and 2 jerked 8 and away they went .
When they were out of range and had recovered their breath, 8 asked, "Why did you hurry away?'
"That is radium emanating from that crowd. It is very dangerous to us so we hurried to save our lives," answered Oxy I. "You see that is the only one of the family which can shed some of its protons and still remain in its original active state."
This was very interesting to 8 and he said so . The discus~ion finally palled on them and away the trio went, winging its way through the atmosphere. The air currents carried them close to the ground where 8 saw a number of atoms like himself, some black ones, also. Here Oxy I and Oxy 2 were jerked away from him and he was forced into line with the others. Suddenly he felt himself absorbed with some strangers and he asked one of his companions nearby what had happened. This fellow replied:
"Why, you're a part of a potato now. How do you happen to be so ignorant?"
"Well, you see, this is my first trip and naturally I don't know very much yet," answered 8.
"You'll soon know more, then, if you stay with us, as you probably will," grunted this sarcastic relation.
It seemed no more than an instant when he felt his companions squirming and jostling each other. Someone said that they were being burned. This satirical friend of 8 announced that at last he was going to be free. Even as he spoke 8 felt himself slipping and down he went into a long dark tube He fought against gravity but he made no headway. Then he dropped into a fairly light passage-way which was peopled by some of his friends, as well as by great white bodies which seemed to be without number. He felt himself flowing along with the rest and gradually he heard a faint roaring grow deeper until of a sudden it burst upon him in its full glory and he was swept into a seething, turbulent, whirlpool. He ducked toward a passage-way separated from others and somehow he escaped and went hurrying up a tube somewhat similar to the first, and out he shot into the air again. Suddenly he saw his friends Oxy I and 2 hurrying towards him. Merrily they grasped him as they passed a stray wind current somewhere. They were sailing low over a highway when one of the passing cars created such a vacuum that they were drawn into it and followed the car. Another car passed them and they were drawn into the manifold intake and through to the carburetor. Here they mixed with gas to form vapor. A loud explosion resulted and 8 went out the muffler into the air. Oxy I and 2 joined him and they started on again
Such was to be his fate. He would have many experiences, see many strange things, perform ill deeds and good as well. We will leave him here about to start on his travels with his friends Oxy I and Oxy 2.

There will come a springtime
To you and me. It's die birdies wingtime
As all can see.
There will be a treetime, Buds all around. And there'll be a glee time, Joy will abound.

The ~onotony of Deina f;ood
Why does a fellow always have to be good? From dawn to dusk and even in my sleep my parents expect me to be an angel. Every day there is the never ending round of corrections resulting from inspections to see that I am in perfect condition
The first inspection comes at rising time when father pokes his head into the bedroom to see that his son has arisen, put down the windows and turned on the heat. Five minutes later the maternal inspector reports and informs me that I have on the wrong clothes. At the same time I am told that I had better wash my face for the second time.
After making these corrections I report downstairs. Upon reaching the bottom, I remember that I left a school book upstairs and so another round trip is made.
Then comes the general inspection just before breakfast. I have to answer many queries. Have I taken care of my teeth, hair, fingernails, ears, handkerchief, money, keys, necktie , shoes, books, bathroom light, and have I taken my weather readings? Finding half of those things undone, I again trek upstairs and down again.
Now comes the most grueling test of all, breakfast. The spoon, the dish, the food, the amount of sugar, the speed of eating and table manners ar e watched every second . After having been corrected five times on the size of bites and twice on forgetting to say please, I am free to go to school. And I am glad to get to school because there are no inspections there.
I am the object of another set of inspections and investigations at night. And my family wonders why I stay thin!

Gayest maidens, on pleasure bent, When outside it's drizzly and drear, Find numberless joys untold In tea.
In the fireplace coals are glowing, Flick ' ring candlelight's enchanting, When happy girls go flocking in To tea.
Sparkling glasses, shining silver, Gayly painted chinaware Are spread in colorful array For tea.
Dainty slices of lemon, cloves, Cream and lumps of sugar are seen; From the teapot pours forth steam From tea.
World-wide affairs are discussed, Confidences exchanged. Why, they forget it rained, Over tea.

Recollections
It was a delightful evening in summer; a crescent moon hung in the sky and from a bank of clouds the first stars shone. Mother, sitting near me , broke the silence by saying that tomorrow she and I were leaving for the Pine Ridge Reservation. The lure of the wild stirred my blood strangely. I had a new sense of freedom. I felt like a boy just released from school and longed to explore the world, to discover what lay beyond the horizon.
ext morning, we began our long slow railroad trip to Rushville, the railroad center nearest to the reservation. The Rushville of my imagination was a magic place bathed in glorious sunshine; a place of enchantment, where the rainbow colors never left t he sky; an ancient garden of the gods. I suppose I even expected the gods to return. But the real Rushville-a weary twenty-five miles as the crow flies from the reservation; nothing of civilization but a trading post and a hotel; isolated, lonely, well-nigh forgotten.
Reaching Rushville, we found Ka-Ka-Sin, our guide , awaiting our arrival. We began to cross that sun-baked emptiness. After we left the trading post there was no landmark, nothing to overtake, nothing by which to reckon our advance. Onward in the sweltering sun we rode. Shortly, Ka-Ka-Sin stopped and pointed to the sky. Looking up, I saw a great halo, unusually bright, appear around the sun, with large sun dogs showing on both sides. I gazed at the sight. It was something new and fascinating, but to Ka-Ka-Sin it was a bad weather sign We headed straight for White Clay at a gallop. The sky ahead of us became black. Then the storm came. The sand was blinding I had strange sensations, as though I could not breathe. I felt suffocated. The sand blew down my neck and sifted through my clothes; it filled my eyes and mouth A dense whiteness was about me. There was nothing I could see , not even a clump of sage-brush. I though I was going blind; my head swam. I was almost willing to believe it was useless to fight a sand storm.
My horse floundered in a drift. He struggled a moment and then lay still and began to groan. Ka-Ka-Sin struck him with a whip and tried to drag him out by the reins. I seized him by the neck and pushed him to and fro and shouted at the top of my voice. Presently he stopped groaning. He struggled from the drift, shook himself, whinnied, sneezed several times and was ready to move on.
At last came a lull in the storm, and we could see that our . trail led to the buttes. In a few minutes we were in the "bad lands." We crossed high rock ledges. I marveled at the endurance and sure-footedness of our horses. In the worst places they rarely stumbled. They walked serenely along the edges of the precipices where I shuddered to look down. Steep places did not bother them. They sat back on their haunches, bunched their feet together and slid
Excitement was in the air when we rode into camp. Flaring fires lighted up the wigwams, casting weird shadows. I heard the booming of drums, shrill cries and shouts of dancers. From the center of the group came a solemn chant of many voices accompanied by the beating of rattles on the ground. At intervals came the low monotone of men singing in unison , and then the shrill voices of women. Coming closer, I beheld the painted faces and bodies of the dancers. All of them were lavishly decorated with colored beads and elk-teeth necklaces. Some carried arrows; others wore headdresses of eagle feathers or porcupine skins. Untiringly they swayed and turned. Occasionally they stopped to imitate buffalo movements, digging, kicking, pawing the ground and throwing the dust into the air. The drumming was an unbroken booming, growing faster and faster until it ended suddenly with a crash and a chorus of shrill whoops.
By this time the sun had set, and the Indians separated to their wigwams. Peace and quiet settled over the camp, broken only by the cries of distant prairie coyotes and the answering barks of the Indian dogs. I had seen little of the reservation but I knew the Indian country had "got me."

OpeFn
Sweethearts, by Victor Herbert, was presented under the auspices of the Orpheons by the members of the boys and girls advanced glee clubs, May 22 and 23. _
The heroine of this comic operetta, Sylvia , was found when a baby in a tulip garden by Dame Paula , who conducts the White Geese laundry. Sylvia is brought up as the daughter of Dame Paula , although the latter has six of her own.
A monk, in reality Mikel, a scheming politician who left Sylvia at the laundry, comes to get her, as he is conspiring to restore her to the throne of the little kingdom of Zilania. She is really the crown princess, and Franz, the heir presumptive, has fallen in love with her . The story ends with Sylvia restored to her rightful position and wedded to Franz.
The twenty-five piece theater orchestra for this presentation practiced three hours nightly, rehearsing with the cast for two weeks beforehand.

Ad,.-n n ced Glee Club•
The advanced glee clubs helped in the presentation of two vesper concerts, the mid-year concert and the choral festival which was featured at the Nebraska state teachers association convention. One of the high spots of the year was the choral festival mass chorus under the direction of Dr. John Finley Williamson, director of mu sic at Westminster College, Ithaca, New York.
These organizations, when they meet together three times a week, form the a cappella choir. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the boys, under Glen M. Case, and the girls, directed by Miss Helen Stowell, have separate classes. •
Among the pieces reproduced by the girls club this year were Evening Prayer in Brittany and The Last Song. The former is a most difficult number and in it the prayer which is chanted during the duet deserves recognition. The Last Song was the required number for class A girls glee clubs in the _ 1931 state music contest. Maxine Smith accompanied the songs.
The Watch Is Passing, Prayer of Thanksgiving and Ye Watchers and Ye Holy One were some of the selections in the repertoire of the boys .i dvanced glee club. The opera Sweethearts, in which the entire club participated, was the finishing touch to a most successful season.

A Cnppelln Choir
The Lincoln high school choir of one hundred selected voices is still a young organization. The choir first announced itself as such in the early part of the season of 1929-1930, when a cappella work was begun. • Glen M. Case, conductor of the choir, has succeeded in establishing a high standard for it. In all of its public appearances, it has exhibited excellent choral achievements. Perfect intonation, exquisite nuances, superior tonal quality, control of dynamics, responsiveness to the director's baton, all coordinate to make this the finest choir of its kind in this section of the country.
The repertoire of the choir includes compositions from the English school by Byrd, Shaw and Elgar, works from the Italian school by Palestrina, and famous modern compositions by composers like Christiansen, Dickinson, and Schuetky. The outstanding numbers on the programs presented by the choir were Beautiful Savior, by Christiansen, featuring Laura Kimball, contralto soloist, Send Forth Thy Spirit, by Schuetky, and Gounod's By Babylon's Wave.
The choir was presented in three vesper concerts, in the Christmas assemblies and the mid-year concert program. The leads for the operas were also chosen from the choir, which represents the acme of choral work in Lincoln high school.

Junio r Glee C l u h
To attain membership in the junior glee club is to be well on the road to the higher choral work offered in advanced glee clubs and the choir. The pupils enrolled in this glee club are selected by individual try-outs from the chorus classes, the beginners groups in singing The class assembles three times a week to work on songs of' various types. This regular rehearsal insures success to the organization and provides a substantial foundation for continued study in more difficult work.
The system of promotion this year enlarged upon that of last season. A solo was first required from the candidate for advancement. Following the selection, the director, Glen M. Case, gave his criticisms and comments, from which each singer derived valuable points on possible improvement.
The junior glee club was included in the mass chorus of one thousand voices at the coliseum during the Nebraska state teachers association convention. It also appeared on the mid-year concert program.
During the year the glee club enjoyed a break in routine on days when talented members entertained their classmates with readings, singing, dancing, or playing.
The girls who accompanied the glee club were Mildred Sullivan and her assistant, Margaret Van Sickle.

Girl s Ju n i o r G l ee Cluh
The girls junior glee club is one of the music organizations which trains girls for the more advanced groups in singing. From it a voice class is formed in which the work is similar to private training. In previous years Miss Stowell has selected girls from the senior and junior glee clubs for this class, but in the last two semesters all girls who were interested in this type of work had the opportunity to register.
This glee club, with the boys chorus and some students from the elementary choruses, participated in the annual mid-year concert program by singing, "When the Foeman Bares His Steel," from the opera Pirates of Penzance, by Gilbert and Sullivan. The girls junior glee club alone sang, The Cuckoo Clock, by Grant Schaefer. Nadine Wheeler was at the piano.
In order to break away from their regular routine work, the girls present their original talent every three weeks in programs consisting of readings, dancing and singing. The class is under the instruction of Miss Helen Stowell. Nadine Wheeler and Blossom Tansey were the accompanists.

One of the most popular mu sical organizations in Lincoln high school is the band, whose stirring strains engender patriotic spirit on the football field. To further this feeling an L marching formation, a new feature, was introduced and successfully maneuvered at the games this year.
For the third consecutive year the band placed first in the state music contest, making the trophy a permanent possession of Lincoln high school. During the season of 1930-31 it also entertained at a meeting of the Nebraska state teachers association convention, appeared on the mid-year concert program and performed on the occasion of one vesper concert.
The repertoire of the band for this year included the Martha and the Stradella overtures by Flotow; Saint Saens' Bachinalle; Valse Triste, by Sibelius; and Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G Minor.

The advanced orchestra is fortunate in having attained a complete symphonic mstrumentation. The purcha~e of a bass clarinet, a string bass, a bassoon, and a pair of Turkish cymbals contributed to this achievement
This year the orchestra had approximately eighty-five players. Many of those in the advanced group received training in the preparatory orchestra. The work of choosing the players falls on the conductor, Bernard F. Nevin. His leadership and 'the cooperation of his players with him have again placed the orchestra in the foreground of the high school musical world.
Much of the orchestra's study was directed this season to Cesar Franck's Symphony in D Minor, the required number for the national orchestra contest. Together with this, the orchestra offered in concert the overture to Mignon, by Thomas; A1arche Slave, by Tschaikowsky; and the Symphony in B Minor, by Schubert.

~tnte ~usic Contest
The eighth annual state music contest was another exhibition of the supremacy of Lincoln in Nebraska high school music circles. Lincoln emerged from the contest triumphant over all other schools.
Miss Helen M. Stowell coached the girls glee club and the girls vocal quartet to first place in their divisions. Kathryn Ann Kettering, William Molden and Paul Sell also contributed to school laurels in piano, voice and violin respectively.
Bernard F. Nevin deserves much praise for the achievements of the string quartet, the band and the orchestral events. Mr. Nevin tutored the girls string quartet and the Lincoln orchestra to an easy victory in each case, and his persevering leadership and an ever present ambition inspired his band to a level far surpassing any other contestant. The performance of this group moved Harold Bachman, nationally famed band master and a judge at the contest, to pronounce it eligible for a national contest.
Altogether Lincoln amassed a total of forty-three points, thus meriting permission to retain the sweepstakes cup of Class A.
Ensemhles
The string quartet conducted by Bernard F. Nevin is ranked by David Mattern of the University of Michigan as the best high school group of its kind he has heard. It was composed of Dorothy Peterson, first violin; Doris Dickinson, second violin; Marjorie Seaton, viola; and Ruth Sibley, cello.
The brass quartet, also under the direction of Mr. Nevin, consists of James Robinson, trumpet; Clyde Wedgwood, first horn; Frank Slaymaker, second horn; and Kenneth Anderson, trombone
The girls vocal quartet, organized to enter the state contest, was selected from the senior octet. The personnel of the quartet included Harriette Toren, first soprano; Jane Edwards, second soprano; Laura Kimball, first alto; and Lois Nelson, second alto. The accompanist for the quartet was Kathryn Ann Kettering and the director, Miss Helen M. Stowell.
~id•"'enll" Concell"t
The .fourteenth annual mid-year concert was presented by the music groups of Lincoln high school, January 16. The theme was well-pronounced in Jean Paul Richter's phrase, "One cannot imagine a complete education of man without music."
The groups in the concert were the advanced orchestra, the band, the advanced glee clubs , the junior glee clubs, the a cappella choir, the girls octet and its alternates, the chorus and the string quartet.
The success of the affair from a musical viewpoint was due to the efforts of the music instructors, Bernard F. Nevin, Miss Helen Stowell, and Glen M. Case.
Ushers and doormen, as well as financial management, were furnished by the Orpheons, the club which sponsored the concert.
\' espell" Concell"ts
The popularity of the vesper concerts with the general public made necessary a ninth season. These Sunday afternoon concerts, sponsored by the board of education, were arranged by .Bernard F . Nevin and Glen M. Case. The series of five consisted of one by the advanced orchestra, one by the band, two by the a cappella choir, the girls octet and the advanced orchestra.
Guest artists at the concerts this year were Oscar Bennett, baritone; Lillian Hel~s Polley, soprano; and Ernest Harrison, pianist. The guest artists and Miss Lucy M. Haywood were responsible for the program explanations during the season.

The Round Table has as its members the teachers of tomorrow. All the girl who are registered in the normal training department or who intend to teach are eligible for membership in this club, which gives them an opportunity to learn more about their chosen profession.
Meetings are held twice a month Speeches by guest teachers and readings and music by members constitute the majority of the programs. Most of the talks given pertain to methods of teaching. Sometimes, however, the members play games which will later aid them in teaching small children.
Two of the less serious current activities of the would-be teachers were a Christmas party at the home of Mis Valeria Bonnell, one of the 8ponsors, and a picnic given in October.
The home economics club was the guest of the Round Table at a joint meeting April 1 7. Refre hments were served after the program.

Art Club
The art students of Lincoln high school have banded together to form an art club-a club which helps them to appreciate the works of artists and encourages them to express on canvas the pictures they see. Miss Helen Wilson and Miss Gladys Dana, sponsors of the club, are better able to help the art club realize its ambitions because of their sojourns in Europe where they have studied the masterpieces of famous artists and have themselves painted quaint European scenes Members of t he dub and outside speakers talk on the various phases of art.
A new constitution was drawn up and ratified by the club this year, following approval by the faculty committee on student affairs. By submitting an original article illustrating his artistic ability, any high school pupil may apply for membership in the art club.

Lectures on anything connected with chemistry, from the stars in the sky to the oil in the ground, are given to the chemistry club by professors from the University of Nebraska. These talks are illustrated, sometimes by slides, more of t en by experiments and samples. In this way, mysteries of the scientific world are touched upon in a manner that interests and instructs high school pupils.
Anyone may become a member of the club by attending three meetings, even though he is not enrolled in a chemistry class. There are no dues and a member's only obligation to the club is to add his share of sandwiches to the feast when he is called upon to do so.
Much of the success of this club is due to Miss Mariel C. Gere, head of the science department, who has been sponsor from the date of the club's organization in 1914

Knowledge of commercial subjects and of the business world are acquired by the commercial club members at their monthly meetings. Speeches by prominent Lincoln business men accomplish these two aims. Friendship among members is promoted by dancing, programs, and contests, an annual weiner roast and a Christmas party.
Anyone who has taken or is taking any subject in the commercial department in Lincoln high school is eligible for membership in the commercial club. Organized in I 926, it has grown to be one of the largest groups in the school. Miss Esther Lefler took the place of Miss Effie Noll as sponsor this fall.
Club Clatter, the newspaper issued monthly by the organization and published by a selected staff contains personals, jokes, cartoons, club and department news, and information concerning graduates. The commercial club was host this year to the district commercial contest in April and to the state commercial contest in May.

Forum
For the purpose of cultivating the art of public speaking and debate, the members of the Forum meet twice each month not only to give formal and extemporaneous speeches and to debate, but also to practice parliamentary drill. Such topics as Lincoln's parking problems, unemployment, the strained relations between England and India and _ natural gas as a new resource have been subjects of discussion this year In this way the Forum members gain knowledge of world-wide affairs while they improve their metnods of expressing themselves.
The annual alumni meeting was held in ovember and attended by former' sponsors and thirty-eight graduates. A month later the Forum joined the Mummers i'n giving a Christmas party. Besides these special entertainments, a banquet in March with a radio theme and a picnic in May took place. The Faulkner cup contest, won by Beverly Finkle, was the feature of one January meeting.

Over a hundred girls trying "to face life squarely" and "to find and give the best," belong to the Girl Reserves, a girls organization corresponding to the Hi-Y. All girls are eligible for membership, and any Girl Reserve may wear the Girl Reserve nng.
Every Girl Reserve is a member of a committee which meets at least once a ni.onth. The Live Wire News is edited by a publication committee and distributed to Girl ·Reserves in home room on the day of the bimonthly meeting; the publicity committee keeps announcements on the bulletin board in the front hall; the service committee gave a Christmas party at Tabitha Home and an entertainment at the Orthopedic hospital.
The East Nebraska Girl Reserve conference held February 27, 28, March I, at which all Lincoln Girl Reserves acted as hostesses, boasted an attendance of six hundred girls.
Lincoln high school Girl Reserves combined with those of all other local high schools in a "balloon" banquet. Outside speakers were features of nearly every meeting; a father-daughter "date", a pie feast and a steak fry in February were other unusual social activities of the club. The University Players presented a group of plays in an assembly to which the Girl Reserves invited every girl in school.

Charity and community service are the major aims of the home economics club. It has attempted to fulfill these aims by distributing Thanksgiving an d Christmas ba~kets to Lincoln's poor, a committee having bee n appointed to select a deserv ing and needy family on each occasion. Members contributed either food, or money for the more perishable of the viands:
Besides this, the club had several picnics and a party in t he past year. A constitution later ratified by the organization, was drawn up by a committee consisting of Dolores Quinn, chairman, Margaret May and Martha Deweese.
Not only does the club use the talent of its own members for programs, but often it invites girls from the household arts club at the state university, to speak.
Any girl who is registered for home economics or who has received five hours credit in that department is eligible for membership in the home economics club.

~ummer•
The purpose of the Mummers is the mutual cultivation of the histrionic art and the creation of a greater interest in the drama. Its success in fulfulling the latter aim is evidenced by the fact that more than one hundred and fifty pupils competed for ·membership at the try-outs this fall. Out of this number thirty-two were admitted at that time, and four more at the beginning of the second semester to keep the membership an even one hundred.
The Mummers formally opened the dramatic season on November 14 and 15 by presenting, before two full houses, The Enemy, by Channing Pollock. The club plans to add part of the money cleared by this production to the auditorium improvement fund.
Good Medicine, a one-act play, was given by the Mummers before both assembly groups during the first semester.
At the Mummers meetings occurring on alternating Thursdays, the programs include speakers well-known in Lincoln because of their dramatic achievements Speeches concerning the biographies of famous actors and actresses, readings, play reviews, musical numbers, dances, and short plays presented by the members comprise the programs.

The Orpheons, the music club of the high school, took an active part in the production of the opera, Sweethearts, by Victor Herbert, the five vesper concerts, and the mid-year concert. The fundamental aims of this club, as stated in the constitution, revised and ratified this winter, are "the mutual cultivation of musical tastes and skill, • and the promotion of musical activity in Lincoln high school."
The Orpheons takes charge of the Lincoln high school music contest, the expense of which is covered by a small admission fee. The mid-year concert proceeds pay the expemes of those sent to the district contest. Besides this, the club is an important factor in the state music contest.
Try-outs were held at the beginning of each semester this year, with twenty-two successful candidates the first semester and thirty the second semester. The large number of new members shows that music interest is being developed at Lincoln high school.
Regular programs of the Orpheons meetings are made up largely of musical numbers by members and by various small groups. Biographies of musicians and stories concerning their works are given. For a special entertainment, a party was held during the second semester.

An amateur radio station license was granted to the Radiolinks by the federal radio commission early this fall. This license permits the club to use radio telegraphy, telephone and television, but does not permit it to broadcast music, news, sermons or anything but communication between amateurs. All messages must be handled free of charge according to the liceme, which is granted for one year with privilege of renewal. C. 0. Morrison, the sponsor, and five club members have operators licenses and call numbers.
Code practice and use of communication by dots and dashes begin the club meetings. Work on radio apparatus and explanatory demonstration of various radio parts occupy the re~t of the sessions. Occasionally the Radiolinks meets with the Cornhusker radio club, a group comprising the amateurs of Lincoln and vicinity.
Portable radio receivers constructed by the boys are tried on the Radiolinks spring trip. The government monitor station at Grand Island was the object of the trip this year.

§tamp Cluh
King George V of England is a· famous stamp collector. Lincoln high school pupils aspiring to follow in his footsteps met February 24, 1931, to organize a stamp club which would more nearly fulfill their needs than the junior collectors club, a local group.
Arvid N. Johnson was obtained as sponsor by H. C. Mardis, principal, and Dean Mitchell, founder of the club. Approximately twenty students answered the call for members. A constitution was approved by the faculty committee on student affairs, and ratified by club members at the first meeting. This constitution provides tha! anyone owning a valuable stamp collection or interested in stamp collecting is eligible for membership, that there be no dues, and that special assessments be made as occas10n anses.
Club members exhibit and explain their collections at meetings. The Lincoln collectors club furnishes speakers who can give information concerning stamps. The club provides a method of exchanging and selling stamps.

Words are the playthings of the writers club members. Their skillful use is the requirement for admittance into the organization. Any high school pupil may gain membership if the manuscript committee accepts an original paper accompanied by an English teacher's recommendation. It is a tradition of the club that an original manuscript be read and criticized at each meeting. Refreshments at social hours occasionally follow ·the regular sessions. In addition, the writers club holds a picnic each spring.
The Scribe, first publication of the writers club, which was printed in the school print shop, was distributed December 19, 1930. The book contains poems, essays, and short stories some of which were submitted by non-members. Approximately three hundred copies of the Scribe were sold. Staff members were Evelyn Diamond, editor; Mary Helen Davis, literary manager; Dwight Perkins and Robert Pierce, publicity managers; and Roma de Brown, copy reader.

In continuing where Mr. Browne left off, Coach Baller has proved himself a worthy successor to one of the finest men ever connected with Lincoln high school. According to skeptics, Mr. Baller was confronted with one of the greatest tasks that ever faced a Red and Black football coach. Truly, his path was not strewn with roses. Two letter-men and a fairly strong squad of reserves were all that returned to form the nucleus for Lincoln's 1930 grid machine.
The less said about the Crete affair, the better. "Tater" Fahrnbruch and his mates placed three touchdowns and an extra point on the score sheet in the first half while the Links were unable to tally In the second half, the tired but determined Lincoln gridsters allowed the Cardinals not a single point. Carlson seemed to br the only Lincoln man able to hit his pace. This victory enabled Crete to put in its claim for the mythical championship of Nebraska in football.
A rejuvenated Lincoln team faced Kearney in the first home game and pulled out with a hard-earned 12-0 victory. The first touchdown was made in the second canto on a center smash with Carlson carrying the ball. John Miller duplicated in the last quarter to make the score 12-0 as the second string entered the game. De Brown was a power on the Red and Black line and the whole backfield functioned well.
A powerful eleven from Central high school of St. Joseph was the first of the Little Missouri Valley teams to face Lincoln. After using every trick they knew, the Josies were sent home with a 7-0 defeat on their record. A pass, Carlson to Yelkin, accounted for the lone touchdown .
The Red and Black men journeyed to Council Bluffs where they rolled up the largest score of the season against Abraham Lincoln high school, 43-0. After the first touchdown, the score swelled rapidly, the second string scoring as many points as did the first. In the seven attempts, only one try for extra point was successful. Everett , Carlson and Yelkin led the way for Lincoln. The Red and Black gained 215 yards on passes and · 323 yards on plunging.
In our next encounter, also on Metropolitan soil, Omaha Central, always a formidable foe, fell before a slashing attack he~ded by Y elkin and Carlson. Everett was also in the limelight with his long runs. The entire Technical team witnessed
this game which ended 21-0 in favor of the Capital city lads. All three touchdowns came on passes thrown by Carlson , Lincoln ace
The big maroon team from Omaha Tech was the next opponent to face the guns of the Lincoln fleet and it fell before an in spired attack, 26-8. Carlson and Everett featured in the play of the Lincoln team. Carlson accounted for two touchdowns on runs, while he hurled passes to Everett for the other two. 'A voluntary safety by the Lincoln team in the fourth quarter pulled it out of a tight hole which might have given Tech another touchdown. Frisch was the Tech star. More than two thousand spectators, the bigge st crowd of the season, witnessed the game.
A comparatively easy victory over the Geneva tribe gave Lincoln's shock troops a chan ce to see some real action. A fighting Geneva team held the seconds scoreless in the first canto , but from then on it was a different story. At the end of the game the score stood 34-0 in the favor of the Red and Black.
A cold , rain y day welcomed the Lincoln team as it arrived in Grand Island. The Links, unable to use their highly touted aerial attack becau se of a muddy field, resorted to a hard plunging game. Although the first quarter was scoreless, the Islanders were held deep in their own territory. After the first touchdown which was made by Baldwin, the Lincoln attack began to function, and the score finally read 20-0 against Coach Mandery's boys. This team held Tech to a 7-0 victory earlier in the season. Grand Island made hardly a yard through the Lincoln line, but advanced the ball on several successful passes.
The last game of the season was played on a muddy Lincoln high field with Nebraska City. The boys from the south were clearly outpla yed from the start to the finish. A team of reserves and second stringers carried a large part of the burden for the Red and Black, but all the seniors were inserted in the game for at least two quarters. Miller, Cassity, Teten, Carlson and Meier looked the best for the winners.
Every regular on the team received either Missouri V a lle y Conference or AllState honors John Carlson and Virgil Y elkin were placed on the first all-state teams of almost every paper in Nebraska. By virtue of winning the Little Missouri Valley • Conference , the lettermen were awarded red letters to be placd on white sweaters, the se colors indicating the conference champi ons.

ROBERT TETEN, quarterback. A shifty, hard running back was Bob, who always returned a punt to good advantage.
LLOYD WAMPLER, end or halfback. Wampler played ably at either position and was an unusually good punter.
WALDO WOODSIDE, tackle. Many of the opponents' plays which seemed destined for big gains were frustrated by this deadly tackler.
Co-CAPTAIN VIRGIL YELKIN, end. Virgil was the player on the receiving end of the famed Carlson-to-Y elkin combination, and likewise tackled efficiently.
}AMES MCPHEETERS, senior manager. Jimmy was always on hand to help tlie team win in any way he could.
STUART S. BALLER, coach. Mr. Ba Iler had for his debut a successful season.
Black-jerseyed gridders from Coach Horney's squad were on hand nightly for a hard scrimmage with the first team regulars or the second string. In eight engagements the reserves broke even, downing the Crete reserves twice, Dewitt once, and our own north field aggregation. Havelock, Bethany, College View and Jackson high school of University Place sent Horney's crew into defeat. A game with the Beatrice seconds had to be canceled because of a conflict in dates.
The Nebraska State Journal singled out William Kierstead and David Rankin for honorable mention on the greater Lincoln league team. Jackson high took the league championship away from College View by defeating every team in the conference. After the Havelock game, the team was weakened considerably, since Ray Baldwin and Donald Shurtleff were advanced to Baller's squad, and Gifford Price suffered an injury to his leg.
Several of the more expert players from the reserve squad were allowed to play thr last minute or two of the first team games. These men, together with the two returning lettermen, Baldwin, a back, and Shurtleff, an end, are expected to form the foundation for Lincoln's 1931 gridiron contenders for honors in the ebraska prep circle.

This years mediocre basketball season, partly due to an ever-changing lineup and a lack of veterans, was not wholly unsuccessful; it probably indicated an outstanding team for next year. There will be seven lettermen then, while only three were able to compete this year.
In their first game, the Links defeated Lexington 36-1 7. This was the first of a three-game road trip. Carlson, Y elkin and Wampler starred for Lincoln.
In the second game of the series, the Kearney Wildcats fell 28-23. Wampler was high scorer, collecting nine markers.
A defeat at the hands of Hastings finished a fairly successful trip. Herod Miller counted from the corner of the court to make the score 24-23 in our favor, only to have Hastings score from under the basket as the game ended.
Benton high school of St. Joseph gave the Red and Black team a 24-1 7 lesson in playing basketball on the Irving court. The home boys played well individually, but as a team, they did not function smoothly.
Baller's men took their spite out on a fast York quintet in the next game, however, winning 24-11. John Carlson's work at center was outstanding for Lincoln.
Fairbury came out on the short end of a 32-15 score the next week. Herod Miller slipped four field goals and one free throw through the net for high scoring honors.
The ability of Wampler and Y elkin to score on long shots and the all around floor play of the Lincoln team spelled defeat for Jackson high on its own floor. This game was witnessed by a capacity crowd which showed unlimited enthusiasm. The L club was present in a body to support the team.
The Crete Cardinals, runners-up in the state tournament, held Lincoln to one field goal, while they put seven through the net. Both teams were off form. This game, which end.ed 16-7 in Crete's favor, was played on the Doane College floor.
Saturday of the same week, the Scarlet Jerseys regained their step and trounced Tech, 27-21. Yelkin and Carlson, playing their last game for the Red and Black, were the shining lights of the fray This game was the first conference one Lincoln had played.
A changed lineup was presented the next week with Cassity and Wampler as guards , Davies at center and Harold Miller and Baldwin as forwards. Omaha Central won an 18-12 decision in this game. On the following night, St. Joseph Central was victor with a 30-12 score. Five reserves who joined the first squad just before these games were Hawkins, North, Ayres, Schwarz and Card.
The Links won a hard-played game from Geneva on the latter's court the following Tuesday. Wampler scored as many points as the entire Geneva team. The game ended 14-1 I.
Coach Baller's proteges 8hared honors with their two opponents the next week, losing a conference tilt to Abraham Lincoln at Council Bluffs and winning from Beatrice the next night in a home affair. The Council Bluffs team, 1931 Missouri Valley champions, scored from all angles, piling up 26 points against Lincoln's 11. Wampler ; Bob Ray and Harold Miller starred. The Beatrice game was rough and
fast with Wampler chalking up 15, while the entire Gage county team made only 13 points.
Failing to hold their lead, the Ballermen fell before the Omah;,_ Central team, which rallied late in the game and finally won 24-16. On the following night, Omaha Tech's basketeers won a close victory over the Capital city which evened matters, the Lincoln boys having won an early season decision. Harold Miller was high point man for Lincoln. The final score was 14-12 in Tech's favor.
A recovery in the last quarter gave St. Joseph Central a 30-19 triumph over Lincoln on the Missouri court. Harold Miller, North, and Wampler were the only Lincoln players up to par.
The first three quarters of the next game belonged to our opponents, Council Bluffs, but the last went to the Lincoln quintet, with Herod Miller, Baldwin, Wampler, Harold Miller and Hawthorne scoring. This game finished the regular season for both teams.
Wampler and Harold Miller were the only Lincoln men to obtain Missouri Valley honors, receiving positions as guard and forward respectively ~n this squad. Wampler was also high scorer of the season for the Ballermen. Herod Miller, Harold Miller, Ray Baldwin, Dawson Hawkins, Robert Ray, Don North, and Glen Ayres, all lettermen, will return next year.
Immediately after the season closed, a meeting of the L club was held to elect officers. Joe Blockwitz was elected president, John Miller, vice-president, and Herman Iselin, secretary-treasurer. The question of L sweaters was settled as follows: If the team goes through the season undefeated, the letter will be black with a red border placed on a black sweater; if the team is defeated during the season, the letter will be red with a black border on a red sweater. This rule applies to all sports.
The L club had charge of transportation for visiting basketball teams during the past season and also officiated at the interclass track meet.
SCHEDULE
Glenn Ayres, forward. Glenn possesses a good basket eye and is a clever floor man. He will be back next year.
Ray Baldwin, forward. Ray was temporarily handicapped by an injury, but played a strong game at either forward or guard.
Dawson Hawkins, forward. Dawson, who was one of the smallest on the team, outstripped many of his taller opponents.
Alvin Hawthorne, forward. Alvin gave the opposing guards a hard fight while he was in the game.
Herod Miller, forward. The smaller half of the Miller combination was a threat to all teams.
Harold Miller, forward. His steady play featured in most of the games. Harold will be back next year to fill a front line position.
Donald North, guard. Don did so well on the reserve squad that he was promoted, along with several other players, to the first team.
Robert Ray, guard. Bob, a hard-player, was one of those who was advanced to the first squad when the season was half over.
Lloyd Wampler, guard. Lloyd was the only letterman on the team for the whole season. He was a member of the all-star Missouri Valley team.
Virgil Yelkin, guard. Virgil also became ineligible at the half-way mark. He played an excellent game and managed to make his share of the points.

The best reserve team in several seasons captured second place in the greater Lincoln league basketball race by defeating such teams as Jackson high, Havelock and College View. Jackson finished fourth best in the state tournament. "An upset every day," might have been the reserves' slogan, for they were the underdogs in the majority of these games. The first part of the season, Coach Horney's squad was unable to get a combination which would succeed, because of the ever-changing first team line-up. A player might be promoted to i:he first team on Friday and come back to the second team on Saturday of the same week.
The combination of Gettemy, Schwarz, Splain, Kahler and Wacker was clicking in superb fashion when the reserves met Jackson on the Irving court. Hamey's boys had a 14-1 lead at the half. This game was probably the best exhibition put on by the second team all season.
Fred Kahler and Fred Wacker were chosen to play on the greater Lincoln league all-star quintet. This team was defeated by a team composed of the league coaches in a rough-and-tumble-affair. Baller and Horney were the Lincoln representatives on the coaches team.

The Lincoln high school swimming team took part in four dual meets during the season, losing all of them but showing the fighting spirit which always marks Lincoln teams. Omaha Tech defeated Lincoln twice, once at home and once at the Capital City. Omaha Central also polished off the Red and Black men in two consecutive meets.
The Links mermen capped their season by taking third in the state high school swimming meet at Omaha. Captain Hugh Rathburn won a first place in the 100yard free style and Captain-elect Harry Kuklin duplicated in the fancy diving. Lincoln's other points were garnered by Henry Ahl, who placed second in the plunge; David Hudson, third in the 220-yard free style; Reed Smith, third in the 100-yard breast stroke; the 200-yard relay team which placed second ; and the 200-yard medley relay team which took third. The maroon team from Omaha Tech was first and Omaha Central, second. This was Tech's ninety-seventh consecutive victory in swimming competition.
Letters were awarded the following boys: Captain-elect Harry Kuklin, Gifford Price, Reed Smith, Henry Ahl, Edward Bignell, Captain Hugh Rathburn, David Hudson, John Williams, Abe Grossman, and Fred Davie, the first five of whom will be in school to form a nucleus for next years team. In addition, there is a large group of experienced swimmers who fell just short of earning their letters this year. With these prospects in view, the hope for a successful season in 1932 may be realized.

The Lincoln track team got off to a flying start by winning its first two meets. Eight lettermen competed in these affairs and each ·one of them collected points. They are Captain William Christemen, Robert Ochsner, Franklin Meier, Richard Logan, Jack Reifschneider, John Miller, Harry Kaufman and Harry Pearson.
Beatrice high was the first team to fall before the Ballermen. J oho Walsh was high-point man, taking three firsts and one third. Ochsner and Reifschneider each collected two first places while Meier and Richard Smith took one apiece. The final score stood 77-44 in favor of the Red and Black.
Although no team championship was awarded, Lincoln finished ahead of the field in the annual Wesleyan invitational meet. The scarlet-jerseyed cinder artists had ten points more than their closest rivals, Beatrice and Friend. Reifschneider won both of Lincoln's first places, but a generous sprinkling of seconds and thirds enabled the Links to pull out ahead. This meet, the fourteenth of its kind, was run off in the rain and no records were broken. Representatives from· seventeen schools competed.
The Links, defending champions of the Central Nebraska track and field meet, were deprived of their trophy by the Hastings Tigers. The only Lincoln athletes who were able to win first places were Reifschneider and Meier. The former walked away with the shotput and discus events, while Meier won the high jump and also took a third in the high hurdles. The other Ballermen who garnered points were Dailey, Krumpus, Ochsner, Walsh and the 880-yard relay quartet. The high school athietes who competed in this carnival totaled three hundred and fifty. Five records were broken, three of them by Hastings athletes who altogether piled up a total of forty-one points. The Links had twenty-seven- which gave them second place.

The I 93 I edition of Lincoln high school's diamond crew presented a lineup which had only four veterans and a pronounced lack of pitching material. Carlton Wells, Captain Lloyd Wampler, Herbert Menne and David Bork were the lettermen from the I 930 team.
A pair of excellent twirlers from Omaha Tech gave Lincoln but three hits while the boys from the metropolis collected six runs to win.
In the next game, however, the Valparaiso team fell at the hands of the Lincoln batsmen, 9-5. Wampler, Bork and Menne led the attack for the winners.
An error by a Sprague-Martel player enabled Bork to score and give the Links a 4-3 victory in the next game. This affair proved to be a pitching duel with the Lincoln hurler holding a slight edge over his rival.
Evidently, one defeat was not enough for the Valparaiso diamond men and the Lincoln team handed them a I I -2 reverse in their second game. Lyle Owens, Red and Black pitcher, allowed the visitors only three hits. Captain Wells led the hitting with a double, triple and home run.
The Elmwood men fell 10-2 on their own diamond the following day. Kenneth Woods, a new member of the scarlet pitching staff, let them down with three hits in the seven innings. .flerbert Menne played a fine game in the field and David Bork took hitting honors with a pair of triples. The two Elmwood runs came in on Lincoln errors.

Basketball is the high spot of girls athletics, and more girls go 9ut for it than for any other sport. It has the longest and most favored season of the athletic year. Here at Lincoln high school the girls play three-court basketball with six on each team. Three-court basketball calls for much cooperation and for fast playing in general.
For the junior-senior tournament, two teams of juniors and two of seniors were chosen to uphold the honor of their classes. Miss Katherine Horner, instructor of the advanced group, and Miss Lillian Story, of the beginners, refereed the two games.
Anna Mae Jones made most of the scores for the seniors and Ruth Hornbuckle and Dorothy Bollard did some excellent work in center. For the juniors, Pansy Brownlee made notable plays as guard. Beth Taylor, Vera Oxenford and Edith Stopher showed promise of excellent material foi- next years senior team.
Although hampered by the loss of one of the star players and jumping-center, Willa Shankland, who was unable to finish the season and play on the team because of illness, the seniors won both games , 20-7, and 18-4. After the games both juniors and seniors went swimming, played together and had refreshments at the annual basketball party held in the girls gymnasium.
Dorothy Bollard, Willa Shankland, Anna Mae Jones, Alice Wiren, Vivian Baxter, Lawanna Carter, Betty Baker, Lydia Brownlee, Emily Hickman, Jeane Shankland, Josephine Cronn, Zelia Owens and Dorothy Veon were the members of the senior squads. Ruth Hornbuckle was captain. Juniors who played basketball were Vera Oxenford, Mavis Clear, Elva Lewis, Alyce Philips, Alice Thurtle, Edith Stopher, Fern Winterhalter, Margaret Mulliner, Ella Lewis, Pansey Brownlee, Annabel Lee, Alma Geist, Lois Brittain and Marjory Smack. Their captain was Beth Taylor.

When the soccer ball is first set rolling, the air is crisp and cold. A game must be active, indeed, to keep the players warm during those chilly days. Soccer supplies this demand exactly. It makes the blood tingle and the breath come and go in white clouds , as each girl da shes up and down the field.
This sport was supervised by Miss Katherine Horner, who trained the girls fot a final interclass meet. The outcome of this tournament was a surprise to all with
the defeat of the seniors by a junior-sophomore team 10-0. Although they were losing, the seniors played a hard defensive game consistently to the finish.
The senior team, with Willa Shankland as captain, was as follows: Dorothy Bollard, Jeane Shankland, Vivian Baxter, Gladys Bolan, Lawanna Carter, Ruth Hornbuckle, Emily Hickman, Eugenia Levy, l.Qis McCandless, Evelyn Schell, Dorothy Veon, Louise Winterhalter, Alice Wiren and Jane Forney.
Pansy Brownlee was captain of the junior-sophomore team, which was composed of. the following members: Pauline Berlowitz, Lois Brittain, Irene Dean, Alma Geist, Lydi a Heizenrader, Rebecca Koerting, Ella Lewis, Elva Lewis, Ruby McGuire, Elizabeth Moomaw, Vera Oxenford, Esther Schriber, Beth Taylor, Lily Ann Stuhr, Lenore Teal, Alice Thurtle and Jean Tyler.
Hockey
It was a glorious season for hockey last fall in spite of the short duration of time. Great interest was shown for this refreshing and invigorating sport. The girls joyfully scampered over the field with cries of "Ground," "Stick," "Hit," filling the air. Above the crash of the hockey sticks, Miss Homer's voice came to the ears of the players. Not only did sticks clash, but shins and feet received their share of the buffeting.
The final combat between the juniors and the seniors was played hard and fast. It was the last game of the tournament and everyone was keyed to go. The juniors put up such opposition that the senior-sophomore team was hard put to it to overcome them 5-3.
Jeane Shankland was captain of the senior-sophomore team, of which the following girls were members: Dorothy Bollard, Ruth Hornbuckle, Emily Hickman, Evelyn Schell, Willa Shankland, Dorothy Veon, Mary Wagner, Mary White, Margaret Wilke and Alice Wiren.
The junior team, captained by Irene Dean, was as follows: Pansy Brownlee, Alma Geist, Lydia Heizenrader, Rebecca Koerting , Ella Lewis, Elva Lewis, Vera Oxenford, Frances Ninneman, Beth Taylor and Alice Thurtle.
Swimming has always been a favorite sport among Lincoln high school girls. Every season as many girls sign up for after-school swimming as the pool will hold. When the sports class was added to the schedule, swimming was enjoyed the whole semester. This was a great improvement for those girls taking corrective gymnasium work. Swimming is one of the most effective means of building up the body.
A meet is held every spring and fall in the tank. The excess room around the pool is always filled with excited spectators, for the meets are most thrilling events. The first competitive meet of the year was held November 12. Jean Beachly won with a total of fifty-seven points. Justine Mickey placed second, and Lois Brittain, third.
This year a life saving class was added to the sports curriculum, a class of great value to anyone who is unable to take this work outside of school. Proof of this is found in the fact that twenty-one girls won awards this spring. Bernadine Davis, Lois Brittain, . Lydia Brownlee, Emily Hickman, Thelma Gleason, Leona Chase, Gladys Bolan, Mary White, Vivian Baxter, Jean Wilhelmy, Opal Bennett and Marian Fish won senior life saving emblems. Junior life saving awards were won by Marian Craig, Virginia Buckner, Rebecca Koerting; Irma Kimball, Helen Edwards, Mary Janet McGeachin, Marjory Smack, Louise Dick-son, and Dorothy Jane Andrews.
L Girl•
Since the G. A. A. joined the state league two years ago, the Lincoln association has been among the leading ones in the state. All girls who have won at least their chenille L's belong to the L club. It is no easy matter to win the advanced awards. Point s are received only for participation in sports. This includes any kind of sport that can be named, but no girl can receive an award who is not a member of the G. A. A.
The first local award is a felt L, won by eight hundred points. The second is also local, and is the chenille L, requiring twelve hundred points. Sixteen hundred markers are necessary for the third, a state award. The highest that can be received is the state emblem. Evelyn Schell was the first to get hers this year, and it was awarded to her at the January banquet. Those to receive them later were Emily Hickman, Ruth Hornbuckle and Alice Wiren. State awards were won by Mary Fraley, Jeane Shankland and Ruth Welsh. Willa Shankland, Beth Taylor, Margaret Walker, Lois Brittain, Pansy Brownlee, Dorothy Bollard, Alma Geist, Lois McCandless, Anna Mae Jones, Ella Lewis, Elva Lewis, Justine Mickey, Vera Weyant, Elizabeth Francis, Irene Denham and Eugenia Levy made their chenille L's.
Conce••ion•
Several new and successful ideas were presented this year by Alice Wiren and Emily Hickman, concession managers. Surprise rnckers, each containing a small picture of one member of the first football team and selling for a nickel were introduced by the G. A. A. at the Lincoln-Kearney football game, October 3. Candy, apples, peanuts and caramel corn were sold at the games during the fall.
G. A. A. girls sold candy and apples regu1arly in the gymnasium during lunch periods. The money made has been used for awards, donations, and expenses of the dub; the G. A. A. also intends to purchase archery, croquet and horseshoe equipment, and for the use of golfers, a five-hole sand green and a driving net, to be set up on the girls playground. These things will be use.d by small groups during class periods and by any girls at noon .

There is no occasion in the calendar of Lincoln high school activities so fraught with excitement and thrill as the sunny May morning when olympics takes place. This wa never more true than this year, when on May I 5 an enthusiastic and uproarious crowd cheered and jeered those who participated. No loyal upperclassman but was bedaubed with paint and grime , and rags and tatters fluttere::l from the panting contestants, in accordance with the time honored custom which decrees that nothing but the most disreputable of garments shall be flaunted at the scene of battle.
As usual, seniors had red as their color, and juniors, black. The first event of the morning's program was the baseball throw, won by Virgil Yelkin, attired in flaming red. Then the girls tried a similar feat and again a senior, Dorothy Bollard, was victorious. The football throw occupied the next place of honor among the act1v1t1es. Y elkin again emerged triumphant from the ordeal. By this time, the northern stands were uproariously shouting their war cry of victory, an::! well they might, for as yet the blacks had scored no points. Louise Winterhalter of the reds added another win in the basketball throw for girls Four boys lined up on the starting line and darted away in the forty-yard dash. Mickey ( not the mouse) beat Frank Tanner, who was trying vainly to score the first win for those in black. By this time the northern stands were preparing to celebrate their all-around victory in the events. Ruth Rohrig, wearing the black raiment of the southern stands, retaliated by winning the girls forty-yard dash. Then again the blacks won when Tanner walked off with the laurel wreath in the seventy-five yard dash Immediately following this, Pansy Brownlee spurted off with honors in the sixty-yard dash for junior girls. This marvelous rally cut short and almost extinguished the victorious shouts of the reds. Retribution was immediately effected, however, by two con secutive victories in the boys and girls shuttle relays which were won by the wearers of the red, thus giving them a comfortable advantage again. After this , the reds won four more events in rapid succession. Those of the victors responsible for these successes were Ervin Frederick, Russell Morrison, Emily Hickman, Vivian Baxter and Henry Aguirre. The first undecided event on the program was the heavyweight boxing match, in which Wallace de Brown and Clifford Dietrich fought four rounds to a draw. Soon the two classes were alternating in their victories. To the juniors went the boys tug-of-war, and the seniors were awarded the girls progressive broadjump and tug-of-war. Honors were divided in the two battles royal, the seniors winning the lightweight group and the juniors seizing the verdict in the heavyweight class. The last two events on the card went to the seniors. The sack rush, which was substituted for the usual pole rush was won by the reds, and when the juniors failed to tear down the senior class colors in the last event, the color rush, the seniors emerged with the laurel wreaths. This years victors were also last years winners, when they defeated their elders with a score of 65-55. The final score of this years interclass meet was 92 ,½ -27 ,½
The members of the coaching staff and of the L club were largely responsible for the smoothness with which the events were run off.
