Strolling through the halls, with ready smile, Otto W. Hackman is a familiar figure. The man who performs arduous tasks without con1ment often receives but little attention from the student body. The girls in school have few channels through which they can make the acquaintance of Mr. Hackman, assistant to the principal. But every boy in school knows him. Sometimes the boys have met him under unfavorable circumstances. They always find him just in his dealings with them. His sense of humor has made it possible for him to see both sides of a question and give an unbiased opinion. To Mr~ Hackman, then, this book is dedicated with the thanks and appreciation which are too often left unsaid.

We see little of the superintendent of schools, but in more ways than we can know he has influenced our car~ers since we first entered grade school. His work i~ to hold together in a unit all the schools of greater Lincoln.
His genius for organization and shrewd foresight have helped him in building up one of the most efficient school systems in the middle west. His capacity for making friendships and keeping in close contact with his associates has made him a guiding force in education.
The principal of the school, H. C. Mardis, has one very good reason for taking a special interest in the class of 1932. He came to Lincoln high school the same year we did. · During his reign as chief executive he has made countless changes which unbind us from useless tradition, that millstone which has weighed heavily on so many classes. He isn't aloof. On the contrary, he knows not only the faces, but the names of students. This helps mightily in making us feel that he is one of us.
Too much can not be said in praise of Miss Olivia Pound, assistant principal. Girls who wish to work their way through high school find in her a rich fund of aid and sympathy. It is no exaggeration to say that she knows every girl under her jurisdiction. She is fair and firm in her treatment. For these two qualities all admire her.

At appro x imatel y the same time (June 28, 1914) that the Archduke of Austria was shot on a Serbian balcon y, the various member of the class of 1932 , Lincoln high sch ool, Lincoln, Nebraska, were squalling lustily in their cribs in scattered portions of the globe.
On ... rovember I I, I 9 I 8, these children heard of the Armistice. The y saw the post war inflation in values and in the summer of 1929 the y witnessed the Wall street crash.
Early in September of the same year, they entere:l Lincoln high through the portals and back door~.
Strange st of all , this class, whose birthright was murder, catastrophe and chaos, presented just such an appearance.
During their sophomore year the y did little except study, try out for various clubs, pre sent the customary assembly and bashfully attend those refined torture sessions, matinee parties.
Chosen for their class ponsors were Miss Mollie Gilmartin and Miss Helene Schemel; but again a mean blow was received. Upon entering , the class
numbered nine hundred and fifty-two and the result was that only a few were privileged to become acquainted with these women who were to act as buffers between it and the powers that be.
For the first semester Frank Tanner was chosen as president. He was assisted by Ray Baldwin, vicepresident; Herod Miller, secretary; Arthur Betz, treasurer; James Harris , editor; Harry Hurst , sergeant-at-arms.
Second semester officers were Donald orth, president; Faith Arnold, vice-president; Katherine Kelley, secretary; Delbert Jackson, treasurer; Margaret Test , editor; Donald Shurtleff, sergeant-at-arms.
Upon entering its junior year the class, eight hundred and sixteen strong, began to take a more active part in the affairs of the school. They elected class officers for the first and second semester. They were as follows: first semester, Frank Tanner , president; Edwin Reynolds, vice-president; Richard Cullen, secretary; Dorothy Wendelin, treasurer; Dwight Perkins , editor; Dawson Hawkins, sergeant-at-arms. The second semester , Donald North , president; Dwight
Perkins, vice-president; Faith Arnold, secretary; Robert Ray, treasurer; Alfred orling, editor; Donald Shurtleff, sergeant-at-arms.
Members appeared on the football squads, in plays, operas and assemblies. They were told that the number of games won did not indicate the success of a season. Unfortunately several have not yet digested thi lesson. Another idea they had difficulty in grasping was that grades do not necessarily indicate one's intelligence.
The class also pre ented, besides the junior assembly, the junior play, Young America, and sent self-appointed representative to the junior-senior party.
Toward the end of the semester a day was ordained for the olympics. This is to provide a day for the juniors and seniors, under supervision, to work off their grudges against each other so that they may travel in peace together for the rest of time. The juniors gathered, made complicated plans, and lost the games to the tune of 100-25.
In the fall of 1931 the class of '32 began its third and , it wa hoped, last year in high chool. They were then the lordly ones, with group home rooms in the auditorium and the "'26's". The cla s officers for the January seniors were Joe Blockwitz, president; Ruby Kleinebecker, vice-president; Jack Green, secretary; Richard Gie3ler, treasurer. First semester June class officers were Ray Baldwin, president; Donald orth, vice-president; Dawson Hawkin , secretary; Donald Shurtleff, treasurer. Second seme ter, Lewis Mackay, president; Frank Tanner, vice-president;
Bernece Branson , secretary; Dwight Perkins, treasurer.
eedless to say the class was upholding its tradition that a woman's place is in the home, not in office
It is also noteworthy that amendments were made to the constitution, through the student council, changing the method of electing officers. The two positions of editor and sergeant-at-arms were dropped. The new system of voting provides that each voter nominates four persons, or votes to retain those already in office, for president, vice-president, ecretary and treasurer, respectively. From the entire mass of votes the names receiving the ten highe t votes are chosen. The se ten names are printed on the ballot and each voter choo es four ( sometimes with eyes closed). The ballots are then tabulated and the one receiving the highe3t number of votes becomes president, the second highest, vice-president; third highest, secretary; fourth, treasurer.
During the senior year the class, numb~ring seven hundred and eighteen, gave the senior as embly and play, The Lion and the 111 ouseJ and hoped to win the olympics.
Even you, and maybe you, can see, that for a class which was born at the time an emperor's nephew crumpled with an assassin's bullet in his brain, it has led a particularly quiet career. In the time-honored custom, and the time-worn manner, it might be compared with a ship, ot the hip's voyage. This was not done , for at that time the Far East was aflame and the dog of war were training at their lea hes. To com-
pare the class with the only resembling ship, a Chinese junk, is considered undiplomatic.
In only one way did the class differ greatly from other graduating classes. It was sending out no great reformers or evangeli ts, no world conquerors or captains of industry, but rather, realizing its limitations, ent its members out to meet their fates, whatever they might be.
vVhat happens to the class after it leaves ( at request) the school, is another story which can not be told now even if it were proper. It is to be remembered though that destiny has no regard or leniency for station, age, or sex. (This last is aptly illustrated by the fact that the first bullet punctured Francis Ferdinand, the second killed his wife.) Whatever comes the way of the class, its members will accept and strive to shape it into that which will make their lives richer and finer.
Lifting the curtain of life's door before them , Expectant of conquest and triumph beyond, Steadily gazing into the dim promise Of future years destinies;
Fulfilling the bond Wrought by schooldays foundation Inspired by youth's dreams, The seniors - heart filled with hopeHead filled with chemesAdventure.
-Barbara BatesMiss Mollie Gilmartin, whose Irish humor has endeared her to her students, is as well liked by those who know her casually as she is by her more intimate friends. The essence ,of competence, deliberate, conservative and tactful, she has been a model spon or for the graduating cla s. Unsuspected by many, one of her essential characteristic is a will that can not be denied. Wielding the class with that ever-disarming, thoroughly charming smile, she has done her share in taking care of the present seniors
Efficient, capable, always in good humor, Miss Helene Scheme! indeed embodies all the qualificatiom that a popular class sponsor should possess. Her blue eyes twinkle with merriment. Withal, she has been an able pilot in taking the class of 1932 through its three years in high school. This is the only opportunity the class has of expressing its appreciation for her able leadership. eglectful as the students often have been, they are truly appreciative of Miss Scheme! and at this time accord her the sincere thanks which are her due.
The past year has been so filled with hardship and reverses that every member of the senior class has paused to take inventory. He realizes that his niche in the world after hi secondary school training must be such that he will be safe. The class as a whole, by
witnessing the result of unemployment, 1s acutely aware of the necessity of fitness in some field of work. ever before have students been so concerned with their vocations as have these. Because of this the class members are likely to secure for themselves a firm foothold in the business world.

North ,ice- president Mackay president Blockwitz president Gre e n secretary Kleinebeck e r vice-president Shurtleff treasurer Branson secretary Perkins treasurer Tanner vice-president Baldwin president Hawkin s secretaryThe juni o r s Oh , yes! The juniors. Hmp! Well , we don't kn ow exactl y what to say about the juniors. They are underclassmen to the seniors and upperclassmen to the soph omores. It is agreed that they are in an excruci a tin g p os ition. They numbered at the last count appro x ima tel y nine hundred. In the way of sponsors the cl ass has the honor of having Miss Carrie B. Robert s a nd Mrs. Bernice Tebbetts , ample proof th a t the gods do take care of juniors and children. The sponsors w orked nobly in preparing the junior pla y with the cooperation of Miss Frances McChesney.
The play was that old favorite, Come Out of the Kitchen. The juniors have the reputation of producing good plays. The class gave an as sembly as well, a time-honored school custom which everyone enjoys. Then there is the little matter of the olympics. The way the junior class shaped up, didn't make the senior s love them any more. In fact, by the down-trodden sophomores and the haughty seniors they are thought just one class too many, although it is generally conceded that the mothers of the member s love them.
The youngest of the school are commonly called "sophs," which does not stand for sophisticated. It _ is interesting to note that sophomore is a combination of two Greek words meaning wise and foolish. The sophomores seem wise in their own conceit. When individually under discussion they are referred to in uncomplimentary terms , but the sophomores are too
young to understand. Each one has his own problems, for when one learns that he is merely a fraction of a whole, he must readjust himself. The sophomores received practically no hazing. The upperclassmen consider themselves gentlemen and women and frown upon such obsolete forms of welcome.

editorial
~his annual come to you with some unu ual aspects. 1a been the de ire of the board to please the tudent y. Member of the Link staff have heard on every : requests for a book that would be different and :inctive. The change are ba ed on the e reque ts. fhe lower ca e lettering, the vivid color cheme, the ang;ement of pictures and the snow cenes of the :ning section were felt to be imp ::>rtant in the at1pt to make the 1932 Links an altogether new and ;hing annual.
_
To Robert Hutson, for hi photography the fir t nester which re ulted in the now picture , the Link ard extend it thank . Miss Helen Wilson, and ! art department under her direction, have erved dle sly. Leon Bern tein has done all the lettering r the annual.
A number of pieces of art work have been published tsigned. To four girl , ancy Pinkerton, Marjorie atten, Loui e Mae Steck aihl Bernece Branson goes e credit for them.
To the creative wnting class, English 13, which ha a it instructor Mis Loui e Miller, the Links owes a debt of gratitude. It has been thi class which contributed chiefly to the abundance and finenes of the literature section which i far beyond average high i by school work. y by
The sales campaign was conducted by the twenty nder taff members and an equal number of students from ~iss the sale manship cla ses. The lowered price of $1.50 rnal facilitated the sales tremendou ly. Bids were made on icianine hundred books and so succe sful were the sales that the full number of books was ordered.
After fifteen years of precedent it has been extremely difficult to extract the 1932 Links from the tentacles of cu tom. In this the board has had an accomplice in H. C. Mardi , the principal. In him the board has found a staunch backer and to him all hats should be removed for having aided in extracting the year book from hide-bound tradition.
Cooperation on the part of Miss Margaret Proctor made it feasable to have photographs of members of the national honor society who are being graduated in June.
\Vith a staff of twenty, the Links board has published its 1932 book. The divisions of the book are captained each by a student responsible for his section. A task equal in difficult y to any wa that of the ad-
vertising manager. Through his efforts and those of the business manager it was possible to lower the price of the Links. The alesmanship classes, under Frank Kane, were a source of supply when the advertising taff of twenty wa selected.
ews ! ews ! That is what makes the world go round. One is in current event if he reads the Advocate, which is the weekly newspaper of Lincoln high. It is edited by the English I 7 class under the tutelage of Miss Belle Farman. The Advocate ha three time won all-American rating in the national scholastic press association critical service. Because there is
scarcely any newspaper which is entirely financed by its subscriptions, the Advocate is financed partially by advertising olici ted by the Engli h I 6 classes under Miss Bessie Fi her's direction. Lincoln, with Miss Farman in the preside n t's chair, was host to the annual convention of the I ebraska high school press association this year.
o institution of any size could function in its work without some sort of government. Lincoln high school is no exception to the rule, for the student council, members of which are elected by the entire student body, is the school governmental organization. Upon this body rests the political responsibility ordinarily pre sent in the direction of any school.
The council meets every other Wednesday afternoon and discusses in detail current problems facing not only the council but the entire school. The problem of pupils remaining about school after hours and that of changes in the point system were taken up by the
council and the home room representatives meeting m separate and joint essions.
The student council presented joy night which had it etting in old Arabia. Club pre entations, athletic prowess of both boys and girls and individual tunts made a variegated, quickly moving program. "Alms," the joy night paper, was an effective parody of the life of the school. It was published by a staff chosen by the council.
This year has seen a new system of electing class officers The idea, introduced by H. C. Mardis, was put into effect through the council's efforts, backed by Miss Helen Dunlap. The Red and Black handbook, a Baedeker for Lincoln high, is old under the auspices of the student council.
The network of the Lincoln high school government would be incomplete without the home room representative It is necessary that every one of these representatives relay the information obtained at -the meetings of this body to the pupils in his individual home room. The representatives present important questions for discussion and continue, unbroken, the line of work begun by the council.
The January graduating cla s was represented in the national honor society by twenty-eight of its members. Lincoln became a segment of the national unit in 1927. Since then it has been the desire of Lincoln high students to attain a place in the national honor ociety.

vice-presidentot scholarship alone, nor service, nor leadership, nor fine character, but a balance of these qualities is considered when members are selected for the national honor society. The selective nature of the group is evident in that only fifteen per cent of the graduating class is eligible. A faculty committee chooses this
number from the third of the class ranking highe3t in scholarship. The organization pin, portraying the keystone of scholarship through which passes a torch of light, symbolizes the purpose of the national honor socie t y, the local chapter of which is sponsored by Miss Margaret E. Proctor.

Many a new student has been helped to find her way and to become acquainted in Lincoln high school through the companionship of the members of the Girl Reserves. This club invites all girls in school to become members. For the past year Girl Reserves groups all over the world have celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the organization. "Little Audrey" is president the official bimonthly bulletin and it is issued the morning before each meeting. "Little Audrey" is the creation of two of the club members. She was endeared to the club as a whole when her nonsensical witticisms were introduced in the bulletin which carries her name.

The Hi-Y club fills this need for the boys of the school. This club, a branch of the Lincoln Y. M. C. A., invites all boys of the high school to become members. It teaches no religious creed other than that suggested by the slogan, "Clean speech, clean sport , clean scholarship and clean living."
To elevate the pos1t10n of the home is the purpose of the home economics club. In their meetings the girls discuss methods of improving home life. They make up baskets in different holiday seasons for the less fortunate families of our city. The spring style show is held under the auspices of this organization. The girls, acting as models, exhibit garments they themselves have made.

It is the desire of the Mummers to promote dramatics as a source of entertainment. The club has taken the lead in sponsoring plays of comedy, mystery and tragedy. This years page in the book of time will be long remembered for its sensational production of The
Dictator, by Richard Harding Davis, which opened the high school dramatic season. Membership in the club, which is desired by all, is obtained by try-out. The meetings are planned to suit the taste of everyone and to create a greater interest in acting.

o matter where one goes in the world toda y, he is certain to find lovers of music. Members of the Orpheons are such music enthusiasts of Lincoln high chool. Students who are affiliated with the club enjo y the privilege of hearing classical mu ic. The programs are invariably presented by the members of
thi organization and it is the desire of the club that every student have the opportunity to perform in the cour e of the school year. The type of performance is usually above the average . Because there i almost every kind of instrument represented, boredom 1s never manifest.

"The prosperity of the nation depends upon the education of our youth." This statement sounds the keynote of the purpose of the Round Table. The members of the club, students in the normal training department or others interested in pedagogy, meet to discuss the best methods of teaching.
The writers club strives to promote individual interest in creative writing and to enable its members to recognize the good and the bad. This is made possible by the old tradition that an original manuscript be read and criticised at each meeting. The club sponsors the publication of the Scribe, an annual containing short stories and verse.
This year marks the first birthday ( in truth it· second year) of the cribe and "my how it has grown!" This publication is edited by the writers club of Lincoln high school and contains the best available short stories, essays and poems. Staff members this year were Elizabeth Bushee, editor; Jane Keefer and Elizabeth Anderson, literary editors; Quintin Wilder, contributing editor; Robert Pierce, art editor; Faith Arnold, business manager; elsie Kelley, as istant business manager; Maxine Butler, advertising manager; Sarah Louise Meyer, circulation manager.
The members of the stamp club find that the collecting of stamps is a fascinating pastime.

Officers were Lawrence Liebers, president; Ben Lee, vice-president; Karl Hemsath, secretary anj treasurer; Edward Manion, librarian; William Campbell, scribe.
Licensed amateur operator sounds important for a high school student, but it is the title of nearly onethird of the Radiolinks members. Each month this club, which sponsors interest in radio, visits the amateur radio stations belonging to its member Radio, becau e of its va~e in business, has attracted many of the most practical boys. Claude 0. Morrison sponors this organizaticn.
Realizing that debating is the matching of brains, and that good delivery is not the only essential, the Lincoln debaters have striven to develop mental alertness and reasoning power. They understand the value of initiative and incerity of purpose. Members of the debate class are trained to check themselves for openmindedness, efficient team work and good sportsmanship. The development of these characteristics is a3 much a part of the study of debate as are the actual gathering and presentation of material.
The state question, Resolved, that the several states
should enact legislation providing for compulsory une111plo yment insurance, i timely, thus compelling interest. Lincoln high school met Central high of Omaha on this question, December 8. Each school was represented by an affirmative and a negative team. The critic judges were I. E. Pace and Dr. Arthur L. Smith of Lincoln.
The Lincoln debate team was awarded first place in the state contest, winning over Alliance, Omaha orth high, Kearney and Osceola. The la3t debate was unanimously decided in favor of Lincoln, 3-0.
The team was ranked among the eight high squads of the eighty-two which debated in the national forensic tournament at Sioux City, Iowa.
Mr.Music, drama, cinema or business as the case may be, assemblie3 are always welcomed, for the time spent in the auditorium is a session not only of relaxation from study but a half hour or so of enlightment concerning a variety of ubjects.
Before beginning the chronological outline of a semblies, let us pause for a brief look about. To seat oneself in liis auditorium seat and lean passively back while performers diligently strive to please is wondrously simple. The entire student body owes a debt of thanks to those graduates, business men, musicians, actors and speakers who have given their time to pre~ent us with intere ting and instructive programs.
The assembly committee is comprised of Mi s Jessie B. Jury, chairman, Mrs. Grace Hyatt and Miss Jennie Piper. Miss Jury, particularly, has given much of her time and effort to organize programs suitable to the heterogeneous tastes which it is only natural to find in a student body.
Captain E. C. Hammond, noted Arctic explorer, was the feature ttraction of the first as embly of the school year. Thi~ was an assembly for the boys of the chool, held under the auspices of the Hi-Y. Robert
Bulger, president of the club, acted as ringmaster. September 25.
W. G. Tempel, newly in stalled instructor of vocal music, made his debut before an assembly group (and wa brought back for an encore). The school's favorite speaker, M. C. Lefler, made an addres on Life. October r.
Everyone walked out on D. R. Ferris, the speaker of the fire prevention week assembly However, it was a fire drill, not a strike. October r 5.
Jack Rank, one of the University players and a graduate of Lincoln high school, furnished the entire program when he presented alone, a seven-character, three-act play, entitled The Clay Idol. Clever, these Chinese. October 16 and ovember 3.
A spectacular trial was perpetrated to determine whether the Red or the Black was to remain a the color of the school. Dwight Perkins, in defen e of the Red, called as his witnesses, Mildred Sullivan who played the xylophone, and the dancing team of William McConaughy and Roberta Wehrman. Irving Hill, supporting the Black, subpoenaed George Davis, the tenor crooner, and Johnston Snipes who worked his black magic. The jury wa equally impressed by the
performances of the two colors; as a result, Red and Black were reconciled and left the auditorium side by side. October 23.
The Rev. R. A. Waite chose Sportsmanship as the subject of his talk, and quoted Knute Rockne's definition, "Sportsmanship is the practical application of the golden rule on the athletic field." ovember 2.
The custom3 of China and Japan, which have since probably suffered a complete overhauling, was the theme for the speech of John M. Allison, Lincoln high school, l 92 I. He is now vice-consul to Japan. November 5.
The boys quartet, composed of Russell Gilman, first tenor; Don Jackson, second tenor; Alfred Reider, baritone; and William Miller, bass; made its initial performance at a song assembly. Assisted by the boys choru3 class, they introduced two songs, Fight! Fight! Fight I and the Lincoln high Victory March. Students joined in the singing. November 12 and 13.
The orchestra presented a one-hundred per cent musical assembly. November 19.
W. Harold Browne, former coach, was the speaker when awards were presented to forty-three gridiron warriors. The boys quartet sang. December 2.
The graduating class took over the school on senior day. The band played the opening and closing numbers. After the entire class had sung the senior song, a group of upperclassmen presented a short play, The Registrar's Office. A Russian folk song, a minuet and a violin ensemble added to the disaster. The history
high-lights of the class included dance numbers and a harp solo. The girls octet sang two numbers and an Indian dance by Lois Rathburn closed the performance. J ovember 25.
To advertise the Scribe, the writers club produced a one-act play, written by Barbara Bates, the local girl who made good. The slightly over-worked boys vocal quartet again harmonized to perfection. Several excerpts from the Scribe were read. December 4.
The writers club repeated the Scribe assembly, substituting William Molden for the quartet. December 7.
Herbert Gish, director of athletics at the University of Nebraska, entertained group A with an interesting talk about Africa. Mr. Gish had only recently returned from a tour through that land, where his A. A. U. track team competed with those of the dark continent. December l I.
The Christmas assembly, which has become traditional in Lincoln high school, was especially beautiful this year, even though it was unlike those to which we had become accustomed. The entire program was under the direction of W. G. Tempel, who afforded a bit of variety by producing Why the Chimes Rang, besides the music which was presented by two groups chosen from the a cappella choir and the advanced orchestra. The auditorium was lighted by candles and decorated Christmas trees which softly diffused the illumination and created an atmosphere in harmony with the occasion. December I 7 and I 8.
The band, which we usually think of in connection with football games, made a stage appearance before
an assembly in the first gathering of 1932. The program also included Alfred Reider, baritone, who sang two numbers. January 13.
And now, gentle reader, we reach the last assembly of the first semester, that one set aside to honor the honor students. All the seniors were present as twentyeight of the graduating class were given the highest scholastic award it is possible to' attain in Lincoln high school. The program consisted of music by a string quartet composed of Ruth Sibley, Dorothy Peterson, Marjorie Seaton and Doris Dickenson; and a reading by Margaret Hulfish. January 13.
The second semester assemblies got off to a nice start when George Washington shed the Van Winkle whiskers and addressed both assembly groups over the radio. Of course the stagecraft club had a copyright on his broadcasts. But I heard him, and hearing is believing. February 22 and 23.
In the third assembly of the George Washington season, Dr. Fred Morrow Fling, of the history department of the University of Nebraska, compared the father of our country with Abraham Lincoln an.i Woodrow Wilson, whom he considers the closest contestants for America's greatest man honors. Oscar Bennett completed the program with vocal solos. March I.
The new City of Lincoln standard was presented to the school by Kenneth Anderson, acting for the student council. The designer, Mrs. S. J. Fieselman, was introduced and Betty Christensen surrendered to the council preside~t the flag which had been made by the home economics department. Mr. Mardis ac-
cepted it for the school and placed it on the left side of the stage where it balances Old Glory. The speaker of the occasion was John Curtiss. March 3.
George Washington became the hero of another assembly when a moving picture of his life -was shown. March 9 and IO.
The Mummers play, featuring Flora Albin as 1l1iss Civilization, proved to be popular to both assembly groups. March 17 and 18.
Emanuel Wishnow, accompanied by Harold Turner, played several violin selections and Margaret Hulfish presented one of her readings. Interesting, as ever. April 7.
The KF AB male quartet certainly performed well when they presented an entire program for assembly. · April 15.
Eighty-two graduating seniors were made members of the national honor society in an assembly held for that occasion. Alleen eely gave a different kind of reading, and Sidney Pepple sang. Both of the entertainers were graduated with the c 1 ass of 1928. April 19.
Lenore Teal, the string quartet, George Becker, William McConaughey and William Molden made up the program of an impromptu assembly held for June seniors in their auditorium home rooms. April 2 I.
The senior assembly was in the form of a musical comedy. Miss Helene Schemel and Miss Mollie Gilmartin, class sponsors, organized and supervised the program. June 2.
"Places!" "Lights!" "Curtain!"
The calls that bring order out of chaos. That tense moment just before the curtain rises when "the thrill that comes once in a lifetime" mingles inextricably with ''life's darkest moment." There is no greater thrill, no moment filled with more chilling terror or more spontaneous enthusiasm than at this moment in high school life. This is the culmination of weeks of rehearsals, hours spent in memorizing lines and days of apprehension. This is the moment when the responsibility of Atlas himself seems suddenly shifted to the shoulders of a high school actor. This is the moment just before curtain time on the first night. With a rush the curtain rises, the footlights glare and the audience becomes a dim sea of faces. The play begins its first performance.
Drama in Lincoln high school has its own definite place. Without it high school life would indeed be monotonous. Those who are fortunate enough to receive a part in a play experience a series of weeks of intensive work, fun and proud accomplishment. These combined become one of the most enjoyable epochs in a student's high school career.
One person who is known all up and down Lincoln high school's " ialto" but who is seldom given the credit due her is the dramatic coach, Miss Frances McChesney. Perhaps the major factor in the succe s
of her productions isn't alone her fine sense of dramatic interpretations, but her faculty of being simply a friend to each player and never assuming the aloof role of a dramatic director with tempermental and scathing criticisms which are so often found in dramatic coaches. Plays would certainly never be complete • ' without the quiet comradeship of Miss McChesney. Her sense of humor, so essential to success, has carried the cast through many a tiring rehearsal. Even-tempered, fair, considerate, she is beloved by all students.
There is another group, a group which works equally hard and oftentimes reaches the quintessence of industry. This tribe never appears before the footlights in the glory of grease paint and costumes to receive the plaudits of the pit and gallery. This is the aggregation of stage hands. Audiences are scarcely aware of their existence as they labor obscurely for the success of a production from which they receive little credit. So rapt is a house at the excellent performance presented before it, no thought remains for the stage hands, who toil ceaselessly and efficiently for a masterpiece of work. Led by John D. Hansen, whose versatility makes him so widely and popularly known, the stagecraft class makes the settings for all dramatic productions.
So, with expert coaching and superb settings, Lincoln high school drama is ensconced firmly in its place by appreciative audiences composed of adults as well as students.

We are at the top of the gigantic four hundred and fifty foot tower of the magnificent Los Angeles city hall. It is nine o'clock and the California moon is a bright gold far up in the star-dotted heavens. From our lofty position we command a view of the entire metropolis. Below us the night-time panorama of a city of two million people is clearly spread. Thousands, even millions, of tiny lights shine up at us through the darkness, and as our gaze wanders toward the suburbs, they gradually grow less grouped and less concentrated until we can pick out the individual ones. They are almost like tiny fairy lanterns glimmering in the depths of the unknown and unexplored.
In the west, as far as the eye can see, there stretches an infinite expanse of unlighted space. The ocean! The beautiful, peaceful Pacific, lazily restful and languishing, its swells endlessly and ceaselessly rolling up to the shore and, in a swirl of foam, hitting the beach with that monotonous booming and roaring peculiar to the sea!
Far away , only discernible in the mist that has s tolen over the city, we catch the flash and fade-out of a lighthouse sending out its beacon of warning to any vessel that may have gone astray, turning in a circle regularly and at set intervals as if a bright neon sign were flashing Look Out! Look Out! Look Out! Further out at sea we pick out the lights of a ship, probably a coastal liner bound for San Francisco, moving steadily along its course. · Immeasurably high overhead, two lights slide swiftly across the sky: an airplane. • As we notice the speed with which it travels and contrast it with the comparatively snaillike pace of the ship, the airplane seems to symbolize to us the present age, the pointless rush, the unending battle against time, the twentieth century.
"Last trip down! Hurry up, if you don't want to sleep up here all night!" We are harshly interrupted in our revery by the grating voice of the elevator boy . and, as we descend the thirty stories to the ground, we begin to wonder' what in the world we've been thinking about all that time.

a .concert
All was quiet in the audience, the lights were d~mmed, the great man began playing. We watched his expressive face as it mirrored the emotions his hands were drawing from the piano.
After a while, the hypnotic pell broke for me and I began ob erving faces in the audience. My attention was caught by the face of a man whom I judged to be about thirty-five. There was nothing remarkable about this man's features, it was his expression that rive~ed ~y interest. He was concentrating on the music with a concentration almost physical. His body se~med poised on the very edge of the seat, ready to dnft away with the chords that were being drawn from the ~oncert grand piano. His emotion might have been mten e pleasure or exqui ite pain.
He gazed with worship at the beautiful resonant pia~o. His look at the musician was mar; complex. In it, I seemed to ee envy, admiration and a strange hatred. Everything about him was so intense that when I tore my eyes from him, I involuntarily breathed deeply and relaxed my strained muscles.
I pondered over the man as I enjoyed the rest of the concert. From time to time I stared at him. I noticed the fingers of his left hand twitching in time to the music. It was easy to see that his main desire in life was to have a chance at that piano with those long, tapering fingers of his which impressed me as belonging to a musician's hands.
At last it was over-the encores, the bows, the furious applauding. My eyes turned once more to the man I had been observing. He had risen to put on his top-coat and had turned around so that his hidden right side wa exposed to my interested gaze. It was then that I perceived omething of his real story. Protruding from his right coat sleeve was a shiny steel hook instead of a hand.

The warm, mellow sun hine softly streaming
Throu~h many-colored pan~s of glowing glass, Pours itself upon the altar m a mass
Of shimmering, misty beauty, faintly gleaming;
Staining the altar cloth of purest white
With drops of scarlet blood and hue of sapphire, Azure bright. Tall candles with their golden fire
Shed on the cross a halo of dim light.
A stately anthem from the white-robed choir
Swells grandly on swift wings of music's greatness
To a vast sob of power, which like a fire
Of blazing glory, wraps us in its light
With sudden fury. ow the flowing tone Is broken by a whispered fear, a moan Of terror; then ends in holy triumph, joy And might.
Does no t this scene of all transcendent beauty
Bring healing peace and weet, mysterious rest To us, who in life's bitter battle pressed, Would seek the one sure path of faith and duty?
-Paul Ward.
I dreamed last night of two pirate ships That sailed on the Spanish Main. Two hips that belonged to the pirates bold, Who harried the seas in the days of old And raided the merchants in earch of g~ld, As they sailed on the Spanish Main.
I saw the ghosts of those pirate ships, And the ghosts of the crews they bore. They ang as they sailed against the sky, "\Vhile their_ dread black flag they flew on high, And they d1pp~d and rolled as the waves slipped by, When they sailed on the Spanish Main.
But now the ships are gone from the Main, And only their ghosts are left, And the tales that are told of the men they killed And their lives and deed and the blood they pill~d, An_d the women who wept when their ships they filled, With gold from the Spanish Main.
Oh, the tales that are told of the old sea dogs, Are bold and bloody and brave. And we sh~ver to speak of the songs that were sung, And the ships that were sunk and the pirates who swung, And the good red gold that the pirate flung To the winds on the Spanish Main.

On the banks of the J ereslan river in Russia is situated the little town of Kvanssnikowa. Its people were thrifty, progressive and peace loving; but though they scorned war and strife, it was not so with the nation. It was during the Russo-Japanese war that this incident occurred. Our little village was suddenly aw.akened from its quiet existence by the call to arms. There was much to be done before the next dawn. Pichenias, pretzels and other goodies had to be made; packing and purchasing had to be done; last minute duties had to be performed. The demand for shirts was so great that the shopkeeper was selling his own personal ones before the day was over.
Marwa Rukowa, like so many others, was preparing for her husband's departure, sadly, yet hurriedly. He, of course, was sorry to leave her and their two children; but he was also filled with the spirit of adventure. If he were only the younge3t of his family, he thought, he could stay at home and take care of them, as his brother Vladimir was to do; but service in the Russian army was compulsory and only the youngest son of every family could stay at home to care for dependents. Marwa would not suffer for want of money and friends, for was he not the miller's son, did she not have his savings, did she not have friends, a cozy cottage, four cows, six horses, pigs and fowls aplenty? He knew also that his wife would not grieve for the loss of material things, but for him.
Swiftly the work, the church service and the merrymaking passed; the gray dawn arose. The noise of the horses, the jingling of the accoutrements, the wailing of the women and the sharp commands of the officers - all mingled strangely in the crisp morning air. All too soon they were seen disappearing beyond the dim horizon, leaving behind mothers, sweethearts and children.
During th~ following four months, Marwa received two letters. Then for two months she received no word at all. Wounded soldiers and those on leave brought distressing news of heavy losses and of the siege of Port Arthur where the Russians were being forced back within the city's fortifications.
Still no word from I van. Vladimir came often to comfort her during the long winter months.
Life went on in this manner for Marwa through the spring and into the summer. The outcome of the war could be readily seen. On September 5, 1905, the peace terms were signed and the Russian troops were -withdravvn from Manchuria. Whenever troops came through the village, Marwa would rush out with the rest of the population, hoping against hope to see Ivan or to hear some news of him. But always her hopes were chilled by the same blank silence.
One day she met a man from a neighboring_ village, Sergei Bolshoi, who had known her husband quite well. He told her that Ivan had been wounded on his left cheek, but that he had recovered. After he was discharged from the hospital, he disappeared and Sergei had not seen him again.
Marwa was busy again today, as she had been on that memorable day fifteen years ago, only this time it wasn't war but a marriage celebration. Vaselia, her daughter, was betrothed to a handsome youth in the village. Tomorrow at ten o'clock the ceremony would be performed, and then would come the feasting and dancing-dancing such as is seen only at Russian weddings.
The day •proved to be as perfect as had been hoped for. The weather was sunny, the bride beautiful, the groom proud, and the people happy. The feast was bountiful and smacked of Marwa's famous cooking.
The last stragglers had hardly finished when the tables were moved and the musicians tuned their instruments. • Suddenly they struck up a lively polka and with a "Hoochda !" the couples sped over the floor.
Later in the evening, when the gayety had reached its highest pitch, a stranger entered. He moved slowly and cautiously. His cap was pulled down over the left side of his face, and though his hair was snow white, he was not an old man. His face wore the ex• pression of one who had experienced many dreadful things. He looked long at the bride. "As lovely as her mother," he thought. Beside him he heard an old woman say, "If she had only waited a few months more before marrying Vladimir, she and her daughter might now have a double wedding." The stranger straightened suddenly. Fool that he was, hadn't he expected it all along? Wasn't it natural and right that she should have remarried? Well, now -he would have to make the best of it. He would dance with them both just once.
V aselia was sitting alone when the stranger asked her to dance with him. She could not remember ever having seen him before, but a Russian bride does not slight any of her guests if she can avoid it. He danced very gracefully, he thanked her so cordially that she became profoundly interested in him and watched him as he withdrew quietly to a corner.
Marwa was talking to a guest when some one asked her for the next dance. She accepted hastily, and they immediately started out in a waltz. Suddenly she wondered who her partner could be. The swing, the touch, even the face seemed familiar. She spoke to him, but his voice seemed· strange. Still - could it be possible? And if it were, how could she be sure?
The scar! Yes, that would solve it, but his head was turned. If she could only see that side of his face, she would know. A bump by the couple on the righthis head turned. Yes, there it was - a long, deep, glowing cut.
IVAN ! Then the dancers became weirdly distorted and dim to her as she fell. I van grasped her in his strong arms and carried her to her room.
As quietly as he had entered, he slipped away. Marwa never heard of him again, except for the nlmor that he had gone to America.
-Emma VogelIt is the quiet hour before the dawn and through the solitude one feels the restlessness of a presence. There are two great doors at the east, and without, in the grayness, can be discerned the faintest suggestion of approaching light. The Youth is walking about slowly - thoughtfully. Quite suddenly he speaks and in his young voice rings a strange power and unrest.
Youth:
Why must I always think and decide?
Does it not suffice that I live
And am strong?
(Unobserved, the two spirits have entered from opposite sides. Conformity is clothed in black and his wise face is resigned and benign. Freedom wears white and scarlet and her every gesture speaks defiance.)
Conformity:
No, my son, your youth and strength are naught
For as the grasses wither, youth will fade
And of what avail is your small strength?
I say to you that life is far too strong.
o one knows the substance of the wind
Nor whence it comes, nor purpose of its coming
Yet does it rend the mightiest trees asunder.
So no one knows what life is. Yet it will scoff
At your small strength as the wind blows thistledown.
Freedom:
Hear him not, 0 Youth of strength and power, For how can he who's never lived himself
Give counsel to you in the ways of living?
He who's never heard wind songs and birds songs
And all soft harmonies of living things
Cannot well tell you not to listen to them.
Oh, listen Youth! And dance, then, to their music.
Youth:
Look! The glow of life that now approaches.
One says that I shall only be a part
Of its great vastness, mystery and rush.
The other says that life is all a song!
Freedom:
A song - if you so wish to think it, Youth ,
A song - if you but have the will to sing.
Sing the rollicking song of tumbling snow
Sing of the lilting breeze at dawn
That bears away in scented loveliness
The thrilling glory of the meadow lark.
Sing of the laughter of children's voices. Sing
Of the joy of living - of being alive!
Conformity:
The world will scarcely listen to your singing 0 foolish Youth, who know so little wisdom. I say to you - Bow down! Have you no God
To worship? No respect for men of learning?
Youth:
Tell me, since you know the paths of learning, Am I myself so meaningless and small?
Through this maze of weary facts and creeds
Must I lose this thing that's mine so surely,
This thing called individuality?
Conformity:
When the raindrop falls into the ocean
It ceases, as a raindrop, to exist
Yet it lives in harmony and peace.
So, if you wish to find complete fulfillment
Of the purpose of your coming into life
You must live as wise men live around you
And so you'll live in harmony - content.
Interpret, as you really wish to thi"nk,
The meaning of the things which men have found
To be right and worthy of the seeking-
Reverence, duty, loyalty and love
All things such as these we know are good.
Youth:
You know these things so well, conforming spirit, That I feel I should believe them as you do
But my restless soul gropes blindly seeking someth ing
To satisfy an unknown need. What things 0 Freedom, do you sanctify?
Freedom:
There is but one thing that is really good
And that is so to live that you yourself
Shall never realize life's emptiness.
The past is but a shadow and the future
But a dream. It follows then
That to grieve for things now past is folly
And to fret about the future, useless care
And life itself still holds the secret
Of reality, the ever present Now.
Youth:
Though he speaks in wisdom and in prudence
And though in learning he surpasses you, Yet you are in some mystic way the essence
Of loveliness. I would not leave your song.
Freedom:
And even if you would, you know, you couldn't. For, Youth, I am a living part of you
My paths are yours because you are of me.
You are the force, but lo! I am the spirit; You are the singer but I am the song.
Come! We'll go together. If you wait
You'll be no longer young - but very wise
So wise that you'll be foolish - like the learned. Life's portals swing, and out there in the dawning
Even now I hear it singing- singing.
The light has imperceptibly grown stronger. The mighty doors are open and without is the blazing glory of a rising sun. The throbbing strains of the exultant song come softly from a distance. Freedom has vanished but her spirit shines on the face of the Youth as he . stands -on the threshold - unafraid.

While walking down an avenue I came upon a shop: 'Twas small , exclusive , quiet , dim , what could I do but top?
I saw an iv or y elephant , up high upon a shelf. "I'd like to ha v e that elephant," I murmured to myself.
I, priced the ivory elephant and sadly sighed to see That little ivory elephants were never meant for me.
Sometimes I pause before the shop and there upon the shelf
The lonel y little elephant still stands all by himself. For you , 0 Unattainable, my love is much the same : I know I dare not love you, but I thrill to hear your name.
I dream your lips are pressed to mine, although we've never kissed.
You and my ivory elephant are bits of life I've missed.
-Margaret GordonWhite sails that gleam against the dark blue lake, Green trees that form a fringe around the shore , White gulls that dip and cry above the cove, And the lake that seems to watch these white birds soar.
A purple mountain crowned with glaring snow , • The leaping of the salmon in the run , Against the sapphire sky a monoplane, That turns to molten silver in the sun.
-Helen E. MillerVivid, jagged lightning etched itself against the dark African sk y as it played around the mountain peaks of the Kivu. A sea of mist swirled around Mguru as he stood on the dripping slopes of Mount M y ivagongo watching the moisture-laden storm clouds rolling past him down into the valley. Thunder echoed from peak to peak across the dense bamboo forest that lay hidden beneath him.
It seemed as though the whole sky was blazing with anger and hate as the storm raged on through the night. But there was no fear in the heart of Mguru as he pressed on up the s lippery side of the mountain , through the dense clouds of fog that rolled endlessly past him. He thought again of his duty. He thought of his people, waiting in the kraal below for his return. He remembered the council which had chosen him to investigate the mysterious rumblings in the mountain. Perhaps the lives of his people depended on his midnight mission to the volcano.
As he climbed, he left the clouds below him and emerged into a brilliant, tranquil night. In the distance, other peaks of the Kivu chain rose above the surging sea of white that cut him off from the world below. But suddenly the peace was broken. A thousand feet above, a gigantic torch flared brilliantly, coloring this upper world a blood red. Again the vol-
cano cast its warning beacon skyward. Fumes of sulphur swept down the mountain ide. Black smoke poured from the crater.
Mguru had seen enough. There was no time to spare. Quickly he turned and once again entered the clouds. Swiftly his feet, long accustomed to the trail , found footholds in the slippery rocks. ·Leaping from ledge to ledge, he rapidly descended the lava plain s . Down into · the bamboo jungle he plunged, fighting his way through the thick underbrush. Along a mudd y trail he sped. Across a creek swollen by the continuous downpour. On through the tall grass and swamps ran Mguru. Breathless he burst into the kraal of hi s people.
The drums, the messengers of Africa, beat out their warning above the roar of the storm. Across the Kivu mountains, down the valley of the Rutshuvu , and to Lake Edward went this call of alarm repeated from kraal to kraal. To the pygmies , to the Boringuis, and to the Whabutu went this message of danger.
Mguru and his people fled in great confusion with their few belongings; Out into the roaring gale went men, women and children, fleeing from a great terror.
The world seemed to rock as the northern cone of Myivagongo spewed forth -tons of rocks. In response the center and southern cones exploded, lighting the Congo land. Heat soon condensed the clouds and the three flaming cones were revealed. Rain and cinden poured from the heavens. Red bands of molten lava • flowed down the mountainside into the dense jungle. Soon fire swept through the tall bamboo forests, adding more terror to the scene. Cries of distress echoed through the jungle as hippos , water buffaloes, leopards fled through the underbrush. Families of gorillas , grunting in their gutteral tones , hurried down the paths, carrying their young. Elephants, antelopes and hundreds of minor inhabitants joined in the exodus. On through the night , man and beast fled side b y side.
In the morning, the sun rose on a scene of utter ruin. It also rose on Mguru standing in the doorway of his new shamba
Another chapter in the life of hidden Africa was ended.
-William HollisterIt was late evening. I stood outside a great church and listened to the rythmic swell and fading of the voices in the choir. Inside there was peace, an::l the warm light that shone through the high arched windows seemed reverently subdued. The blended voices rose majestically and fell again as gently as butterflies come to rest on fragile flowers. O~tside the air was cool and hushed. I seemed to breathe some eternal s ilence and as I stood quite still, I felt myself grow smaller and smaller until at last I was onl y a part of the silence.
A gust of wind touched my hair and I lived again , but for a moment I had glimpsed the vastness of eternity.

The process of reviving one's forefathers is an occupation requiring a great deal of time, study and courage. It is disheartening to work for days tracing a barely visible branch of supposed nobility, only to discover that the sixteenth cousin of a duke was somehow related to a. servant of King So and So, who in turn remembered that a long time ago his great-uncle had become the twenty-second cousin of the Queen of Somewhere by marriage. This uncle, in his youth, was a bootblack on the streets, and, to one's great embarrassment, he is the first-father.
The climbing about in the family tree, searching £pr the hidden fruit is exceedingly difficult, for one misstep will result in a downfall. The nuts are much more in evidence than the blossoms, so with a meek and chastened spirit, one starts a search for the secondfather. One becomes discouraged to find that he wa3 only a village blacksmith. Perhaps there is some consolation in the fact that a poem was written in his honor.
Although one is considerably depressed, he is spurred on by the idea that there may be a strain of aristocratic blood somewhere. The long line of relatives looms ahead as the history of the third-father is brought out for a thorough inspection. A slightly weak-minded individual is revealed after several hundred documents have been examined. He is scarcely known to the outside world, and, sad to relate, he is no more than three hundred and fifty or four hundred years old. There seems to be an immense satisfaction in knowing how old the members of your family are. The more ancient the better.
The fourth father is now calmly but fearfully disclosed. A most noted historic character, William the Conqueror! In an ecstacy of bliss, one dashes to the telephone to relate the story to the neighbor. "My dear, do you know I have traced my ancestry clear
back to William the Conqueror?" With breathles3 expectation, one awaits her reply But alas! The neighbor remembers the character but vaguely. She wants to know what he did, when he lived and who he was. After a complete explanation, one is terribly di turbed to hear her say, "Have you seen the new Easter hats in the windows down town?"
The redecoration of the ancestral tree is a ticklish busine3s. In looking up the records, one is reminded of the story concerning the genealogist who discovered an electrocution in the family he was studying. He informed the woman that the man in question had "occupied the chair of applied electricity in one of our public institutions."
From now on until the judgment day, I suppose that family trees will be one of the world's most popular amusements. People will continue to be disappointed or elated, in turn, and remain to stumble about among the branches. The family tree, nuts and all, will live eternally.
-Virginia AmosI heard a street piano
Out in the dusk of June
Playing a long forgotten, An old and lovely tune.
The bolt of time was gently Withdrawrt, and the blessed door Of childhood softly opened Wide for me once more.
I heard my mother singing As I returned to play, And dusk suffused with the golden Rising of yesterday.
Strange that a street piano Can open with a song
The portals of a heaven
Closed so long, so long.

Babette, by Victor Herbert, was presented on May 27 and 28 by the members of the a cappella choir, under the direction of William G. Tempel. A small orchestra, made up of members chosen from the advanced orchestra, played for the opera.
Babette, the heroine of the story, is a letter writer in a small village in the etherlands. The hero, Marcel, is a spy disguised as a painter. He is trying to get information against Vinetta, whom he knows to be a Spanish spy, and her father, Baltazar. Marcel, who is in love with Babette, has her write a love letter for him, which he afterwards gives her. Babette refuses to accept the letter. Marcel, in order to win Vinetta's admiration and thus gain valuable knowledge, gives her the love letter which Babette has refused to accept. Vinetta takes the letter to Babette to have it read, and it appears to Babette that Marcel is faithless.
A great deal of comedy is introduced by Babette's father, Von Tympel, a clock maker, and Eva, his shrewish wife.
When it is definitely learned that Vinetta and Baltazar are spies who · are going to the French court a3 Spanish envoys to gain aid from France in a war to conquer the etherlands, Mondragon, a retired soldier, Von Tympel, Eva, Babette and Marcel disguise themselves as traveling players and set out for France to intercept the audience with the king. While the players are resting at an inn, Vinetta and Baltazar drive up in a carriage. The traveling players induce Vinetta and Baltazar to entertain them by showing them pointers on acting. While they are in costume, the players take their places a'S envoys from Spain to France, and Vinetta and Baltazar are left locked in the barn, to be arrested as conspirators.
When the "Spanish envoys" arrive in France they are received with much favor by the king. The king hears Babette sing, and chooses her as the court prima donna. The "envoys" say that Spain wants France to help them end the war, and the king has almost promised his support when Vinetta and Baltazar arrive, announcing themselves to be the real Spanish envoys. Baltazar immediately accuses the other group of being imposters, and Babette's friends are about to be thrown into prison. Vinetta tries to convince the king that she is the one he has chosen as court prima donna, but Babette suddenly appears and sings the same song which she was singing when he first heard her. The king is convinced that Babette is the one he has chosen as court prima donna and is so delighted with her voice that he promises her anything she wishes. She asks for the freedom of her friends Von Tympel, Eva, Mondragon and Marcel. The opera ends happily as Babette and Marcel are given a royal wedding at the French court.
The part of Babette was sung by Louise Powell (Friday) and Lois Rathburn (Saturday) ; Mond ragon, by William Miller; Marcel, by Delbert Jackson; Baltazar, by David Blanchard; Vinetta, by Eleanor Compton; Von Tympel, by Charles Reichenbach; Eva, by Anne Campbell; Guzman, a Spanish officer, b y James Harris; the King of France, by Kenneth Anderson; apprentices, by Zeno Jones, Alan Cowley and David Ogden; village girls, by Verna Baker, M usetta Owens and Kathryn Simpson; Schnapp3, the tavern keeper, by Harry Bauer.

The same high standard which was set for the a cappella choir last year has been upheld this year by William G. Tempel, the successor to Glen M. Case as director of the vocal music department. The a cappella choir is the summit of achievement for those interested in vocal music. Usually an apprenticeship

must be served in the junior groups. The choir sang for three vesper concerts and for the mid-year concert.
A group selected from the eighty members of the choir sang for the Christmas assemblies. The a cappella choir, for which five hours credit is given, has been organized for three years .
The advanced orchestra, which is the olde3t performing group in the music department, presented a series of concerts to fifth and sixth grade school children. This was the first year these presentations were given in Lincoln. The concerts included compositions by Bach, Tschaikowsky, Schubert , Grieg, Saint Saens and Percy Grainger. All of the numbers
played in the concerts had been studied in the music appreciation classes. The orchestra worked on a symphonic poem composed by its conductor, Bernard F. evin, and the last movement of Cae sar Franck's Symphony in A Minor. An English horn and a fullsized string bass were added to the instruments. Sevent y-five members comprise the orchestra.

The band, in addition to playing stirring marches and school songs for football games and rallies, has worked on several difficult numbers which were played for assemblies, vesper concerts and the midyear concert. A recording bass has been added to the band instruments. The personnel of the organization includes forty members.
The boys glee club, which was organized this seme ter from part of the mixed glee club, is a class in which the members receive preliminary instruction for work in the a cappella choir. I ts forty members, who are almost all sophomore and juniors, gave one public performance for an assembly.
The girls junior glee club, a select group which is a division of what was formerly the mixed glee club, is a training class for the a cappella choir. Varied programs of readings, singing and dancing are given every two weeks by the members of the class for their own entertainment.
The girls senior glee club, directed by William G. Tempel, is made up of about sixty members, mo t of · t hem sophomores and juniors. This group will form t he greater part o f next years a cappella choir. The girls senior glee club has appeared in several public performances an d was entered in t he state music contest:

Herbert Schmidt, pianist; Harriet Cruise Kemmer, soprano; Walter Wheatley, tenor; Bettie Zabriskie, cellist ; and the vocal male quartet from the First Plymouth Congregational church with Wilbur Chenoweth, director, were guest artists. All of the concerts began promptly at three o'clock, and lasted an hour.
At the final concert, Bernard evin's original symphonic poem was played for the first time by the orchestra.
"Life, like a dome of many-colored glass, Stains the white radiance of Eternity, Until Death tramples it to fragments."-Shelley.
This was chosen by Mr. evin as the theme of his composition, and was represented by a series of tone pictures.
The concerts, under the auspices of the board of education, were arranged by Bernard F. Nevin, assisted by William G. Tempel. Miss Lucy Haywood prepared the program notes.
Lincoln high schooPs ensembles, in addition to performing for assemblies and school entertainments, have sung and played for numerous outside orga~izat_ions
A male quartet, organized for the first time m Lmcoln high school, was composed of Russell Gilman, _first tenor; Donald Jackson, second tenor; Alfred Reider, baritone, and William Miller, bass. Kenneth Anderson was the accompanist. The quartet is directed by William G. Tempel.
A string quartet which met three t~mes a we~k. in school was composed of Richard Schmidt, first v10lm; Lorraine Greisel, second violin; Dorothy Peterson, viola, and Vera Wekesser, cello. Eunice Bingham, first violin; Margaret Baker, second violin; Kathryn Kelley, viola, and Mildred Righter, cello, formed an after-school quartet which won third highest honors in the Lincoln high school music conte~t and was entered ·in the state music contest.
A girls octet, directed by William G. Tempel, wa~ composed of Marjorie Bannister, Kathryn Carver, Jeanne Cummings, Helen Grainger, Dorothea Hay~s, Lorraine Hitchcock, Margaret ewcomer and Louise Powell. Eleanor Compton, Adeline Morris, Musetta Owens and Althea Scheidt were alternates. The octet was accompanied by Mildred Sullivan.
The fifteenth annual mid-year concert, which is sponsored by the Orpheons, was presented at the high school on January 22. The advanced orchestra, the band, the a cappella choir, the junior mixed glee club, the girls glee class, the girls octet, the male quartet and Eunice Bingham, violinist, took part in the program.
Listen to the Lambs was sung as a soprano solo by Helen Grainger, assisted by the choir. Eunice Bingham accompanied by Margaret Baker, played the "Ad~gietto" from LJ A rlesienne Suite by Bizet, and P erpetuum Mobile by oracek.
For the first time a short intermission was held between the performances of the a cappella choir and the advanced orchestra. This enabled the orchestra to be seated on the stage instead of in the orchestra pit, so that it could play to better advantage.
Ushers and doormen were chosen from the Orpheons. Bernard F. evin and William G. Tempel were largely responsible for the success of the program. Louise Powell was business and advertising manager.
In order to take care of the many beginning players of brass and woodwind instruments, and to keep a balanced instrumentation in the preparatory orchestras two preparatory bands were organized this year. On~ band met three times a week, and the other twice. Many of the members took both as a five hour subject.
The purpose of the organization is to prepare its members for playing in the advanced band, and each semester some are transferred.
There were about thirty members in the bands, which were under the direction of James Douglas.
The preparatory orchestras have been able to play unusually difficult and effective numbers this year because the instrumental balance has been better than before. The preparatory bands have taken from the orchestras many brass and woodwind instruments which formerly overbalanced the strings.
Although one orchestra met twice and another three times a week, many of the members took them together as a five hour course. The members are prepared for advanced orchestra, and some are promoted each semester.
Members chosen from the preparatory orchestras, assisted by a few advanced orchestra members, played for the Mummers play, The Dictator.
The orchestras were under the direction of Bernard F. Nevin.
Lincoln high's ! 931 football team can well attribute its success to the determination, fighting spirit and courage of purpose which has been characteristic of Red and Black athletes for many years.
As was the case in 1930, Coach Stuart Baller had onl y two veterans returning to don the moleskins. These furnished, along with the outstanding reserves of the previous season, the material for the eleven which was to win five games and tie with Omaha Tech for the championship of the trans-Missouri conference.
After a month of intensive practice the Red and Black team was read y to meet its fir t foe, Schuyler. The final score of .44-13 , which favored the Red and Black, was rather a surprise to Lincoln adherents and Coach Baller took advantage of the occasion to test his whole squad.
The second game found the capital city boys in Beatrice meeting the Orangemen. A o-o tie resulted. Beatrice put forth an unexpected but excellent display of defensive strength and held Lincoln on even terms most of the battl~-
Against Abraham Lincoln of Council Bluffs the Red and Black played its _ best football of the year. Invading Lincoln with the greatest team in Abraham Lincoln history and fresh from a decisive victory over Omaha Tech, the Bluffs aggregation was entirely unprepared for the opposition it met and was completely outplayed in every phase of the game.
Then came the real thriller of th e year. Omaha Central, another metropolitan foe, was on deck and the oval was packed to capacity ready to witness the game which stamped the Red and Black as probable repeaters for the conference gonfalon. The Links scored first, but failed to add the extra point. In the third quarter Central made its touchdown on a long pass and then added the point, making the score 7-6 as the game entered its final stage. On the next to the last play of the game, with the pigskin resting on the Central one yard line, Baldwin, in one final dive through the line, planted the pigskin in the end zone for a touchdown and gave Lincoln another well-earned victory.
Grand Island's veter an team invaded the oval October 3 r. After a see-saw battle during the first half, the Red and Black settled down to the serious business of winning another football game. A safety and a touchdown pro v ided the necessary points.
Omaha Tech reached the climax of its season m defeating ·the Red and Black 13-0. The strength of the Maroons seemed to have been gro ssl y undere 3timated and the y encountered little difficulty in winning.
Led by its all-state halfback, 'John Parilek, Crete handed the Baller-coached men their worst defeat of the season. The Red and Black was unable to cope with the flash y running attack centering around the Crete star and succumbed 18-0.
Because of the two successive defeats Lincoln high went on the field against Wymore a grim and determined group of gridiron warriors. The Ballermen took advantage of a poor kick in the first period to convert it into a touchdown and finally sewed up the tussle with two scores in the final quarter.
Thanksgiving da y saw Lincoln high's rejuvenated eleven in St. Joseph ready to fight it out with St. Joseph Central in the game which decided the tramMissouri conference championship. Amidst a swirling snow storm and in a sea of mud, the two teams battled to an inevitable standstill.
The play of John Williams, Robert Ray and Don Shurtleff was rewarded by their selection on both the conference and state honor rolls of the Lincoln Star and Journal. Three other erstwhile Red and Black grid athletes who will be among the missing next season are Dawson Hawkins, midget quarterback, David Bork, guard, and Harold Miller, end, all of whom were selected as deserving of honorable mention in the state and were named on the conference honor roll. William Kuiper, who will return to the football team next year as a junior, was also given honorable mention on the all-state honor roll.

Co-captain Ray Baldwin, quarterback or halfback-A veteran of the 1930 team, Ray was a main cog in the Lincoln backfield and was always an inspiration to his team mates.
Dave Bork, guard-Although not the spectacular type of guard, Dave played a steady, consistent game all season. He was placed on the trans-Missouri conference honor roll.
Boyd Bronn, halfback-Boyd was one of the hardest driving backs on the 1931 aggregation. He was a fine blocker and an excellent defensive player.
Reed Christian, guard-Playing his first year on the team as a substitute guard, Reed showed exceptional promise in that position. He will be back next fall.
Jack Dickinson, tackle-Dickinson, a graduate from the reserves, became a regular on the Red and Black eleven and will undoubtedly prove invaluable to the 1932 team.
Richard Giesler, halfback -A gr e at punter, Dick's long punts continually drove opponents deep into their own territory, and pulled his own team out of tight situations.
Jack Green, end-Jack's stellar play at end was one of the bright spots in the Lincoln line. Green excelled as a pass receiver.
Dawson Hawkins, quarterback-"Dawdy's" remarkable field generalship and coolness under fire was a feature of every tussle. He was easily the best quarterback in the conference.
Robert Heilig, guard-Bob showed flashes of great form all season, but did not start as a regular until the game with Crete.
Gerald Hunt, halfback- Jerry was another player who was sent up from the reserves and handled himself very capably at a halfback position.
William Kuiper, halfback-One of the greatest sophomore finds in years, Bill rapidly developed into a shifty, hard running ball carrier, one of the Links chief offensive threats.
Harold Miller, end-A player equally proficient on both offense and defense, Harold was in the midst of the fight every minute he was in the game.
Herod Miller, end-Herod was another hard fighter, who was a tough man to take out of a play and a great pass catcher.
Donald North, end-Don played a strong game at end all season. He is one of the fifteen lettermen of 1931 who will be graduated this spring.
Gifford Price, tackle-Gifford was handicapped by an injury early in the year, but came back to aid materially the Lincoln cause in later games.
Robert Ray, center-Bob was the type of player who fights to the last, never giving up. He was one of the main reasons why the enemy was repulsed -when they tried the center of the line.
Ray Schwartz, halfback-Playing in the role of a substitute back, Ray performed creditably all the time he was in the game.
Co-captain Donald Shurtleff, tackle-Don was the star of the Red and Black line, • smothering everything coming in his direction and playing a fine brand of football.
Richard Smith, tackle-Another bulwark in the line, Dick time after time broke through to spill the opposition for losses ar.d played sensationally although handicapped by an injury to his leg.
William Weaver, guard-Another reas :m why opposing backs failed to advance through the middle of the line was this 170 pound junior guard
John Williams, fullback-Johnny was Lincoln's main offensive threat, being a terrific line plunger and a marvel at backing up the line. He was one of the outstanding backs in the state.
Mark Baldwin, manager and trainerMark was omnipresent aft season, especially during those first few games when many Red and Black stars were laid up.
Robert Kane, trainer Robert became very popular with the fellows on the team in his capacity as junior trainer. His death in an automobile accident this spring was deeply mourned by the entire student body.
Coach Stuart Baller-Mr. Baller during his two years here as coach has unquestionably proved that he can develop winning teams. His boys have won the only two football championships since the organization of the trans-Missouri valley conference.
Because several of its star players had been promoted to the first team during the season, th e reserve squad found itself severely handicapped. In view of the fact that the caliber of greater Lincoln teams last year was above par, the second stringers did well in losing but three games to suburban opponents. A large part of the success enjoyed by the first team can be ascribed to hard scrimmages with the reserves. As the Lincoln high school representatives in the greater Lincoln league, the reserves finished in fifth place with a record - of one game won, three lost and one tie. Bethany won possession of first place, boasting five straight victories. They numbered among their victims the Lincoln reserves. Coach Horney's youngsters defeated one league opponent, Cathedral, by a score of 12-0 and in a practice skirmish before the Bethany game polished off the Havelock reserves 48-0. The reserves bowed to Jackson, Bethany and College View. A run of .over half the length of the field by Marvin Plock, reserve back, was of no avail in the Havelock conflict and the reserves were forced to ac-
cept a o-o tie. A number of the stellar reserve players saw considerable service with the Lincoln first team, but were awarded second team monograms. Afte r the close of the season the play of Plock, English and Kahler was rewarded by their selection on the greater Lincoln league honor roll. When the call for gridiron candi dates is issued next fall, for the first time in three years Coach Baller will have more than two lettermen as a nucleus around which to build his team.
In decided contrast to the previous disastrous basketball season, practically the same cagers who performed on the Lincoln high courts last winter, emerged from a two months cage campaign with a record of ten out of a possible fifteen victories. Before the season had even started, Coach Baller was confident that another championship quintet would play under the colors of the Red and Black, six veterans being included in the personnel of the squad. Shortly following the opening of the season, the lettermen elected Ray Baldwin, veteran guard, to act as captain during the remaining games.
In Kearney, the mid-state opponent in the inaugural clash of the year at Lincoln, the Red and Black encountered a tartar and temporarily lowered their colors to the tune of a 21-24 decision Paced by a substitute center, Nickel, the bearcats were enjoying an eight point advantage at the half and then successfully repulsed a desperate Lincoln rally late in the game to eke out a narrow victory by three points.
In the second test the Ballermen, clicking perfectly, played brilliantly to nose out Beatrice 22-21 in a thrilling mix on the Gage county court. Five players contributed from three to six points toward the Lincoln total. Bob Parsons, sophomore cager, led with three field goals.
In the first trans-Missouri valley conference melee, the Red and Black slapped a 22- 12 defeat on Omaha
Central. Jack Hart and Harold Miller were the bright spots in the Lincoln offensive, scoring seven and six points respectively. Ray Baldwin ·stood out from a defensive standpoint.
The Lincoln high basketeers firmly established themselves as potential conference champions in handing the St. Joseph Central five a decisive 29-19 licking on the Central floor. The elongated Bob Parsons went on a scoring spree, chalking up, single handed, seventeen points on five goals from the field and seven free tosses.
Hastings invaded the local court on the following night, intent on ending their losing streak and at the same time putting a stop to the rapidly increasing chain of Red and Black victories. Their double purpose was nearly accomplished, but a late Lincoln rally pulled the game out of the fire and permitted the Links to walk off the floor with a well earned 24-21 triumph. Coach Thomas' aggregation claimed a 14-7 advantage at half time.
Playing their third game in five days, the capital city outfit journeyed to Fairbury where they rolled up the highest point total of the year in whipping their hosts 38-22. Harold Miller found the hoop for five baskets and high point honors, while the veteran guard, North, caged four field goals.
The Links more than doubled the count on Omaha Tech in chalking up their third consecutive conference triumph at the expense of the Drummond-coached lads
Mr. Baller Hawkins Schwarz Cosgrove Hart Ray R. Parsons Hammer Baldwin23-1 I. The Tech mentor used his entire squad of fourteen players in an attempt to halt Lincoln high's scoring veterans, Miller and North.
The Baller-coached men were forced to the limit to defeat Geneva on the latter's court 25-2 I. After trailing most of the game, Lincoln spurted in the final period to anne x ten points. Bob Parsons and Sherman Cosgrove, center, looked best in victory.
In ringing up their eighth straight victory and fourth conference triumph , the Red and Black trounced Abraham Lincoln of Council Bluffs 30-19. The Bluffs ca ger s turned an apparent rout into a ball game in the third quarter, pulling up to within one point of the Links; but a last quarter assault on the hoop iced the contest for the Red and Black. Jackson high abruptly halted the Lincoln victory string when they meted out a 20- I 5 lacing on the Red and Black. The suburban guards effectively guarded the hoop at short range, forcing the Links to shoot from long range.
Before the largest home crowd of the season, the Red and Black bowed to Crete by a score of 30- I 9. After a fairl y close first half the Saline county sharp shooters turned an apparently close game into a rout, for once enjo ying a lead of 28-10.
In v ading Omaha for two trans-Missouri conferen ce conflicts, the capital city tribe met defeat in a return engagement with Omaha Central by a score of 23-12. The redoubtable Lincoln veterans , Miller and orth, scored ten points · between them but th ,eir teammates seemed unable to - hit their stride. The following night the Red •and Black regained the lead in the conference by whipping Omaha Tech 26- I 6 , while Omaha Central was losing to Abraham Lincoln I I-IO. The two Mill rs and North were bright spots in the Links fifth valley triumph.
In a nip and tuck affair which was decided in the last minute of play, St. Joseph Central nosed out Lincoln 26-23, thert!_by avenging an ea r ly season defeat at the hands of the Red and Black. The reversal threw Lincoln into a tie for first place w ith Omaha Central.
With the conference final standings resting on the outcome of their games, both Lincoln and Omaha Central won their fin a l games, the capital city crew trimming Abraham Lincoln 35-28 and Central edging out Omaha Tech II- 9
For the first time in many years Lincoln high did not enter the state tournament, because of a ruling by the board o f education. Crete won the state title by defeating Hastings in the finals 23-12.
The success of the reserve quintet assures Lincoln of another experienced and winning basketball team next winter. The Lincoln seconds, coached by Robert , Horney, tied with Havelock for third place in the greater Lincoln league, but their standing in the league does not fairly indicate their real strength. The reserves lost their first two games to league opponents. They then started a winning streak which netted them eight straight triumphs.
The strength and harmony of the reserves can be shown by the fact that they lost to Jackson high by only three points, 16-13, as compared with the outcome of the first team's mix with the league champions, which ended 20-15 in favor of the suburban five.
Leland Hale, guard, who led the sec'onds in scoring, was Lincoln high's representative on the greater Lincoln league all-star team which defeated its coaches in a post-sea on game. The Lincoln coaches, Stuart Baller and Robert Horney, were members of the coaches quintet. Second team lettermen include the following boys: Leland Hale, Clifford Scott, Marion De Jarnett, Gerald Hunt, Jack McKinzie, Monte
Heidenreich, Kenneth Pavey, Jean Kerns, John Saunders, William Stenten, Harold Cates and manager, Fred Webster.
Webster Mr Horney Mc Kinzie Ewing Hale DeJ arnett Scott HuntIn his first year as coach of the swimming team, Harold Lauritsen developed a most competent group of natators, a team which ranked among the foremost in Nebraska. Captained by Harry Kuklin, a three-year letterman, the Red and Bl ack mermen captured first place in three of six dual meets and placed second in the state meet at Lincoln. By way of tuning up for meets with the strong metropolitan teams, Omaha Tech and Central, the Lincoln mermen took on Beatrice in a pair of dual meets early in the season. The Red and Black won by top-heavy scores in both engagements. Omaha Tech's highly respected swimmers were victorious in both of their meets with the Links, winning the second meet at Omaha by a narrow margin, 41-34.
Coach Lauritsen's proteges broke even in two dual conflicts with Omaha Central. The centralites fell before the Red and Black at Omaha, but managed to win a 38-37 victory here when Lincoln dropped the
last event, the medley relay, on a technical decision. In the state meet Lincoln high finished second only to the all conquering Tech splashers, who in winning their I I 4 consecutive swimming victory, ended another triumphant year. Captain Kuklin won the state fancy diving championship for the second year in succession; the other Lincoln divers, Erickson and Krause, finished second and fourth respectively.
Co ach Lauritsen, representing the school, awarded letters to the following boys: Harry Kuklin, James Harris, Paul McClellan, Oliver Howard, Robert Morris, Gene Mettee, John Erickson, William Farrens, Ralph Ludwick, Adrian Almquist, David Geller, Robert Thorton, Richard Hagelin, Wayne Krause, Glenn Elliott and Warren Hockenbary, manager.
As only the first four of these letter winners are seniors, the outlook for next years aquatic team is favorable.

Mr. Lauritsen
Lincoln high track prospects took on a decidedly drab aspect when Coach Lauritsen issued his first call, but capable performers in all events were developed from the large number who turned out and these boys went on to win many points for the Red and Black. Only four lettermen returned to the track team this year, Cecil Hutchinson, George David, Elwood Randol and Marvin Plock. Randol and Plock are juniors.
In the first meet of the season, a triangular affair between Lincoln, Seward and Geneva at Seward, the capital city cinder -artists finished second to Seward, scoring 58 points to the winners 65. The Red and Black were leading the Group III state champions of last year by a comfortable margin with most of the events gone, but Lloyd Cardwell, sensational Seward athlete, ran away from the field in his specialtie3, the high and low hurdles, and then capped his afternoons performances by running anchor man on the relay team which nosed out Lincoln in the final event.
Cecil Hutchinson, Red and Black captain, won the century and then tied for first in the 220-yard dash with a time of 23.6 seconds. Randol stepped off the 4 40 in remarkable time for an early season meet, winning easily in the time of 53.7 seconds. Robert Morris took the other first for Lincoln in the track events, copping the half mile in 2.09 minutes. Sherman Cosgrove, a South Dakota boy, gained a tie for first in pole vault with Gleisberg of Seward at IO feet IO inches.
Lincoln high entered the annual Nebraska Wesleyan track and field carnival along with over twenty other entries and played first in the medley relay and the pole vault. Cosgrove and DeJ arnett of Lincoln along with Gleisberg of Seward all tied for first in the pole vault with the bar at 11 feet 2 inches. The medley relay was won by the Red and Black, while DeJ arnett' s leap in the broad jump was good enough for second place.
In past years Lincoln has always had efficient baseball teams and this years nine was no exception. Five veteran pastimers returned for another campaign and with a well seasoned group of recruits on hand Coach Horney had no trouble in molding together a smooth working combination. The five lettermen from the preceding year were David Bork, captain, Lyle Owens, Alex Filbert, Gustave Menne and Henry Dietz.
The Lincoln swatsmiths went on a batting rampage in the initial mix with Wahoo scoring a decisive 20-2 victory. Lyle Owens on the mound for the Red and Black pi ched a steady game and Edward Sauer led the fusilage of base hits with four safe bingles.
Omaha Tech, always a thorn in the side of the Links, downed the Red and Black baseballers in their second tilt by a. score of 7-1. The two bright spots even in defeat for Lincoln were the hitting of Filbert, second sacker, who garnered two of Lincoln's four
hits, and the pitching of Bork, regular catcher for the last two years. Dave relieved Owens in the fourth inning with bases loaded and retired three Omahans in short order. He struck out six men in the two · innings he pitched.
After inclement weather had caused the postponement of a game for nearly two weeks, Lincoln and Elmwood finally got together and the Red ancl Black nine proceeded to polish off their guests to the tune of a 6-r count.
Behind the fine hurling of Bork, the Links were well on the way to another triumph in their second tussle played at Omaha with Omaha Central, but the Lincoln star weakened in the eighth and ninth innings, allowing the Centralites six runs, just enough for them to eke out a 6-5 decision. The Lincoln pitcher led the hitters with three hits, while Marion DeJ arnett connected for the only home run of the game.

The seniors won from the sophomores, I 2 to Io. The sophomores were victorious over the juniors, I 5- 11. The juniors added the final touch by winning from the seniors, 8-IO. All the games were spicy, the sophomorejunior fray being especially exciting to the onlookers. Catherine Cahill; Idella Iverson and Ruth Fulton, underclassmen, show promise of becoming good player! by the time they are seniors. Jacqueline Buehner played a fine game as center for the juniors. These tournaments are held each year in the after-school
basketball classes. This year Miss Katherine Horner was in charge of the classes the first seme3ter and Mrs. F. W. Putney the second. Those who played on the teams were Shirley Diamond, Marion Brainard, Beth Taylor, captain, Valeda Davis, Vera Oxenford, Esther Schriber, Rosemary Kane, Irene Minor, seniors. The juniors were Evelyn Capron, Dorothy Kline, Jacqueline Buehner, captain, Mary Coleman, Marguerite Miller, Gladys Martin, Ione Allen. The sophomore3 included Idella Iverson, Catherine Cahill, captain, Winifred Hargraves, Theda Chapton, Ruth Fulton, Janet Swift, Jean Willis, Helen Klaus and Lucille Pressman.
In order to become a member of the L organization, a girl must have earned her chenille L, which is the second local award given by the G. A. A. A total of twelve hundred points is necessary for this letter, which includes those long endless sixteen weeks of training rules. Training rules are required for every award, so that when one receives her highest state award she has become accustomed to them. Other awards available to the ambitious are a black felt L which requires six hundred points and the state award for which sixteen hundred points are necessary. One may obtain the state emblem, the summit of achievement, with two t}:iousand points. The state emblem, which includes the state award, is a six-pointed star in red and white on which the letters N. L.A. A. appear and which is the symbol of the Nebraska league of athletic associations. The girls who had the distinction of winning this symbol were Lois Brittain, Pansy Brownlee and Beth Taylor. Those who won the state awards were Ione Allen, Bernice Kane, Rebecca Koerting and Willa Shankland. Chenille L's were won by Ione Allen, Virginia Buckner, Bernice Kane, Dorothy Kline, Gladys Martin, Margaret Morrissey, Edith Stopher and Dorothy Summers. These awards were made at the G. A. A. banquet in January.
Swimming has always enjoyed great popularity at Lincoln high school. In the spring and fall large numbers of girls register for it as an after-school sport and many take it in school in connection with sports classes. For advanced swimmers Miss Marie Snavely had a class in life-saving which met three times every week. The following girls earned their junior lifesaving awards the first semester: Dorothy Conn, • Carolyn Davis, Arlene Orcutt, Marion Schmitt and Ruth Tapley. Those who earned senior emblems were Elizabeth Baker, Catherine Carver, Virginia Buckner, Irma Kimball and Emma Vogel. Each semester a swimming meet is held in which any girl may participate. Competition was keen in the last meet, for there were many experienced swimmers entered, but Lois Brittain, a senior, won forty-three points and carried off high honors. Mary Gavin, a sophomore, placed second with thirty points and Betty Woods ranked third by winning ten and one-half.
Martin Brittain Oxenford Brownlee Kline Thurtle Taylor Miner Schriber Kane Shankland Allen Morrissey Koerting Mickey Stopher BerlowitzA hockey stick in abrupt, forceful contact with an already bruised knee or a loving Mother Earth reaching for the u~wary are but two of the catastrophes to be expect~d m. hockey. The girls of Lincoln high school enJoy this sport every fall in the field east of school, and they think it's a great game even if it does mean bruised ankles and sore shins. In the fall h?~key classes were held after school, under the supervision of Miss Katherine Horner. The season was closed by a tournament between the Reds, captained by Pansy Brownlee, and the Cyclones, headed by Ruth Fulton. The first game was a close one from which the Reds emerged victorious with a score of 4-0. The Cyclones were later victims of a second defeat losing 5- 1, which proclaimed the Reds winner of th; tournament.
Each fall the G. A. A. presides at the concession stand at the football games. From six to twelve girls call their wares in the stands. The profit from the sales this season was sufficient to buy shuffleboard equipment for the gymnasium. Next year red and black jackets will be purchased for those who sell candy at the football games. The 193 1 concession managers were Shirley Diamond and Dorothy Kline. Those who assisted them at the games were Ione Allen, Pauline Berlowitz, Evelyn Diamond Genevieve D?w_li~g, Ruth Fulton, June Gary, Rebecc~ Koerting, Virginia McGregor, Margaret Morrissey, Ethel Newto~, Esther Schriber, Edith Stopher, Beth Taylor and Alice Thurtle.
Archery and golf, made possible by G. A. A. donations, were added to the after-school sports list. Miss Julienne Deetkin , a senior in the University of ebraska who did practice teaching , was the instructor in archery. The girls were organized into three teams of three girls each for an archery contest. Each contestant, with an allowance of three arrows tried to make points for her team by hitting the target'. ine girls enrolled in the golf class which was taught by Miss Mildred Gish, also from the University of ebraska. The embryo golfers practiced their drives and putts faithfully.
~here are. so many invigorating recreational games which the girls may choose in the spring that it is often difficult to limit oneself to a single sport. That baseball is popular is evidenced by those waiting to register for it. Miss Lillian E. Story was in charge of the after-school baseball classes, some of which met two and others three times a week. To vary thi s routine, the girls occasionally took picnic lunches into the country and romped freely there. An interclass tournament wound together the loose skeins of the baseball season.
Last fall, for the first time in the history of the school, the game of shuffleboard was added, by the G. A. A., to the equipment in the girls gymnasium. The game was played during physical education classes, at noon and after school. One set of shuffleboard equipment consists of two pushers, eight disks and two boxes of numbers, both negative and positive which are painted on either side of the floor of th~ gymnasium. The object of the game is to push the di~ks from one box of numbers to the other so they will stop on the large positive numbers. egative numbers are subtracted from one's score. There are two players on a team, each with four disks. The team which reaches an even fifty points first wins the game. In March a tournament was held between Miss Lillian E. Story's first and second period physical education classes. The second period class was victorious.
Last autumn, speedball, a combination of basketball and soccer, was substituted for soccer as an after-school • sport. Eighteen girls, coached by Mi s Katherine Horner, enrolled in the class. Because of inclement weather, the girls were forced to remain indoors. The ensuing boredom. was lifted when the speedball cla ss changed to one of general sports, which continued for the rest of the year. Hiking, roller skating, ice ska ting, tenni3 and speedball were included in the list and were practiced in their respective seasons.
What could have been more fitting and proper than to have the noble class of '32, vanquished by a top heavy score in the olyrripics of last year, come back this spring and take out their accumulated vengeance on the innocent juniors? On the particular day of this memorable occasion, Friday, May 13th, the underclassmen strove vainly to wrest honors from the seniors, but they were all but ground in the dust for their efforts by the all conquering class of '32. The score was: seniors, 95; juniors, 25. That dreaded nemesis of all contests, old man weather, chose to favor the circumstance3 surrounding this gala festival and because of that the contesting classes were present in a body cheering and encouraging their favorites.
Long before the time of the official start of Lincoln high's thirteenth olympiad, the contenders for class supremacy began arriving at the scene of the conflict, bedecked in "hard time" costumes and flaunting their respective colors-the seniors, red and the juniors, black. By a scant matter of a few inches David Bork of baseball fame won the inaugural event, the baseball throw for distance.
Virginia McGregor, representing the junior class, won the girls baseball throw and sent her adherents into frenzies of joy. A beautiful long spiral flung from the left arm of senior Don Shurtleff spun merrily on its way up the field some fifty-five odd yards to win the football throw competition. The girls, being more adept at the cage sport, chose to hurl the basketball. Virginia McGregor temporarily tied the score by triumphing over the field in this event.
Yes, the count was knotted and to all appearances it looked like a see-saw battle all the way, a duplication of the 1930 olympics. But the rout started when Frank Tanner tore down the track ahead of his three competitors in the forty yard dash. The same event for the girls resulted in another victory for the dignified seniors, now in the guise of howling maniacs. A seventy-five yard dash for boys was won by the fleet Robert Oschner, and then Pansy Brownlee flashed down the track in the girls sixty yard dash to nip her senior confederate, Vera Oxenford, jU3t before the finish. The concluding events on the morning track program were the seventy-five and sixty yard shuttle relays for boys and girls, respectively, and when the red adorned cinder specialists bore off first place in
both of these, the upperclassmen went into ecstasies of rapture as the score now stood 40- IO and only three more triumphs in the remaining twelve events were necessary for victory.
Lightweight wrestling honors were won by Edward Sauer, senior, who threw his opponent with a body slam after about five minute3 of "rasslin". The heavyweight wrestling match between Hockenbary, junior, and Miller, senior, proved to be more of a fan pleaser. The match looked like Miller's when he secured an unbreakable headlock on his antagonist but he relaxed his hold for one fatal moment and Hockenbary pinned his shoulders to the mat. Boxing laurels were divided this year, Reynolds winning for the seniors in the lightweight boxing division and Dailey, favorite of the juniors, punching out a technical knockout over Clifford Dietrich.
Although outnumbered by the juniors, the senior boys pulled valiantly in the first mass struggle, the tug-of-war finally succumbing to the inevitable. However, the grils regained much of the lost prestige by outpulling the juniors. Senior boys evidenced marked predominancy in the light and heavyweight battles royal. Before the onlookers had had sufficient time to grasp the situation ten of the twelve battlers in the heavyweight "knock down and drag out" had been expelled from the ring, leaving the mighty "Babe" Luchsinger, senior captain, and scrappy Bob Heilig of the juniors in the arena to fight it out. And fight it out they did, the Babe finally picking up the fast tiring Heilig and slamming him to the ground with such force as to render him incapable of further resistance.
The entire host of senior boys was pitted against all of the junior boys in the sack rush. The ensuing struggle found three of the four sacks being pushed, dragged and pulled by the determined seniors toward the junior goal.
Approximately three hours after the first event, the signal was given which started the final skirmish of the morning, the color rush. With Luchsinger astride the historic pole, his feet draped around the senior flag and a galaxy of shouting, yelling senior stalwarts clustered around the pole, the sight must certainly have been very imposing to the juniors. After six minutes of scrapping, milling, and hand to hand encounters the senior captain was still atop the pole with the flag waving.

This is the saga of Percival PetersOne of the genuine Peters; descendant Of the Sir Percival, Knight of the Round Table, Court of King Arthur. Why do we sing of him, Sing of this Peters, Plumber unrivaled, Adventurer undaunted, oble and fearless? This is the reason, Hark to the wherefore, Listen and marvel !
Percival's papa, Old Oliver Peters, Saw the young sweetheart, Sylvia Smithers, Of Gavalston Mullins. Saw and admired her, Loved and desired her, Wooed her and won her, Incurring the wrath of The Merciless Mullins.
So, many years later, While, on a black night, Oliver chanced to Pass by a dark alley, From out of nowhere Appeared a lead pipe Grasped by a gloved hand. Quickly the pipe struck, Silently thudded on Top · o·f the bald head of Old Mister Peters . . And so died Oliver, Prince of the Peters tribe, Father of Percival.
Percival Peters
Heard of the tragedy, Heard of it, thought of it, Vowed a deep vengeance On Mister Mullins. ( Merciless Gavalston ! ) He hired detectives, A Scotland Yard man, The mounted police, Gangsters and hijackers, Capone and Diamond, Bloodhounds and stoolpigeons. Then he, with all his aides, Started the conquest, Started to track down The fragment of lead pipe, The fragment which stuck In the brain of Old Oliver.
So, with this one clue Forth ventured Percival From Maine to Florida, Atlantic to Pacific, Texas to Canada. Through forty-eight states He traveled extensively. Then did he broaden out Through the whole world. Sailed seven oceans Traversed six continents Inspecting the lead pipes In houses of everyone: Bankers and newsboys, Bootblacks and preachers, Searching as ever for One missing lead pipe.
At last came Percival Unto the domicile of Gavalston Mullins, Mullins, spurned lover, Of the fair Sylvia. Then with monkey wrench, Hammer and screw driver, Percival Peters, U nsurpassable plumber, Pulled out the hearthstones, Tore up the floorboards, and Squeezed in between walls ; All for the sake of A small piece of lead pipe.
But, though he fell to the Depths of despondency, He saw through the dark clouds A bright silver lining. For in the fireplace, Deep in the ashes, lay A chunk of lead pipe! Peters examined the Piece of pipe carefully, Saw that a bit of the Lead pipe was missing! Fuming with anger, He turned upon Mullins Who stood there and trembled.
Percival then forgot He was a gentleman, Descendant of Percival, Knight of the Round Table, Court of King Arthur. On the thick head of Old Gavalston Mullins Fell the indignation And ire of Percival, With word plays and similes, Expletives, metaphors And interjections. And when he exhausted his Verbal capacity, He made for a tree With a low hanging branch. And with a strong lariat, He strung up expertly Gavalston Mullins, Merciless murderer Of Oliver.
Dire is thy vengeance, Oh, Percival Peters, Pitiless nemesis, Fearless redresser Of the wrongs done to thy Dear papa, Oliver. • This is thy deep revenge, Percival Peters, Descendant of Percivai, Knight of the Round Table, Court of King Arthur, Plumber unrivaled, Executioner superb!

His face i dirty, his hair is rough, His clothes are ragged, he looks like a tough. He squalls when he can't have the papers first Then laughs at the "funnies" till you'd think he'd burst.
He's always teasing, gives me no rest, He makes himself an awful pest He takes my marbles and baseball bat, He's ready to fight at the drop of a hat.
At naughty schemes he often labors And gets "in bad" with all the neighbors. Oh, he's a trial, a pest, a bother, But would I change him for another? I should say not; he's my brother.

Li ten, my children, and you shall hear, The strange story of a prosperous year, Hardly a man is now alive Who can recall the prosperity of '25.
'Twas in those days of dollars and cents Before the time of living in tents, When people earned money and lots of them spent it, Said "Business is good!" and most of them meant it,
Before it was considered "smart to be thrifty," When people wore new clothes and food was quite nifty, When A. T. and T. stocks were at one ninety-five Before my Anaconda went for a dive.
Those were the days of glorious yore When people had money - but not any more. ow, we're content to sell apples or rings, But no one's got money to buy the darned thing -Dwight Perkins
