No more poignant theme than modern pioneer-ing could have been chosen to symbolize the spirit of Lincoln high school; an institution eager to try new plans, to blaze fresh trails.
The trail of the class of 1936 is dotted with mile-stones of achievement, making a path to the clea:ring of distinction in which are found the nation ,s best schools. Development in music, art, journalism and athletics as well as in actual reading, writing and arithmetic has brought our school count:rywide rec-ognition. Our leader and principal, H. C. Mardis, fallowing notable predecessors, has wielded the ax to make a place for the milestones. Encouraging, counseling and keeping his finger on the pulse of the outside world as well as ours, he has aided in push-ing ou:r school on toward perfection as only students and teachers who have worked with him can know .
To record adequately, as pioneers and histor-ians, our school life during the last three years has been our earnest purpose in preparing the twentieth volume of THE LINKS.
To a teacher who aspires to be more than a teacher and succeeds in her aspiration; to a helper, a counselor, a friend; to a woman who values her subject, social science, and strives through example and instruction to inspire her students to perform their tasks independently and well; to Miss Jennie L. Piper, we sincerely dedicate the 1936 Links.
Ann Morrow Lindbergh says she wrote her book , North to the Orient, in an ~~attempt to capture some of the magic of her summer's experience". To preserve some of the magic" of Lincoln high school days is a primary motive for the publication of this very attractive edition of THE LrNKS.
Congratulations to the Class of 1936!
This volume of THE LINKS will become increasingly valuable as time goes on. He r e you will find not meiely the likenesses of your friends and printed accounts of the year ·s happenings, but between every line will be priceless memories which will intensify and keep in vivid colors the spirit of Lincoln high school as you now know it.
Thirteen hundred high school girls seem to the average outsider no small responsibility . It is , how-•ever , a pleasant one - sometimes exciting, but always interesting. A more fair--minded , and dependable group of girls than those in Lincoln high school would be hard to find.
Lincoln high school has never lost sight of the importance of develop-ing good citizens. To have a small part in this important phase of a young person ' s development is a privilege which carries with it many compensations.
Four score and seven years ago, Our fathers brought forth Upon this continent a new nation-

A lonesome figure, stalwart and d'ire, Awaiting an answering puff of smo~e, High on a hilltop watches his fire.
As the swirling dust sweeps across the plains And the drying grain smolders beneath the sun, The pioneer woman her courage retains.
'The stalwart buffalo ma~ing its fight Head lowered, feet braced for the charge Is the pioneer symbol of nature's might.
Below an alien s~y and earth of dazzling white
• A Iong,f am-iliar building stands
Crowned by the dull glare of winter' frosted light.

Ou r new adventures began about eight o'clock a fa ll morning in the year 19 3 3. Radiant with bri ght notebooks, well polished shoes and great exp ec t at ions, we filed into our home rooms. Immedi at ely bulletins, hand books and program cards desc e nd ed upon us. At noon, fearful of being late t o cl ass, we gulped our sandwiches hastily, only to st and about the halls for ten minutes impatiently w aiti n g for the bell to ring. Upon occasion we we r e wont to say that high school was perfectly " du ckie,, ( everyone said "duckie,, then) and that we were not frightened, at least, not much. After all, w h y should we have been frightened? Were we n ot p ioneers in a glamorous enterprise?
W hen problems of registration no longer harassed us, we had our first fling in a social way at a party gi ven by the student council. A varied and enterta in i n g program, which included speeches, dancing, shor t sketches and music, was furnished by the clubs. We were then conducted about the building by o u r hosts and hostesses, and its wonders were d isclosed to us. The quantity of refreshments consum ed that afternoon was mute evidence of the success of t his gala affair.
Ou r sophomore cabinet members, former civ ic league presidents from the junior high schools w er e Betty Keefer, Rita Shea, Mary Sherburne, Mar y Louise Speidell, Nan Talbot, Oakley Davis, Ke nn et h Fahrenbruch, William Pfeiff and Herman R ohri g. They filled the places of the last semesters cab in et which had included Katherine Carveth, M a r ian Kidd, Mary Margaret Maly, Mary Sher- · burn e, Herbert Cooper, William Marshall and R ob ert Martin. As representatives to the student cou n cil we elected Marian Kidd and William Co chr ane.
Cla sses may come and classes may go, but elections go on forever. To solve our problems from
January to June we elected William Pfeiff, class president; Marian Kidd, vice president; R alph Tyler, secretary and George Ayers, treasurer. With our class sponsors, Miss Marguerite Gundermann and Mrs. Lillian Lawson as advisers, and with such able officers, our class was guided safely through the turbulent sophomore year.
The first lap of our journey was over and we were juniors. Registration, physical examinations and seniors no longer abashed us. All the talk was of this club and that assembly and of how small the sophomores looked. A duck with red and black ribbons about his neck was led abou t at the football games by our loyal sons For the first time in history we went to real polls to vote. In our hearts was a warm and sinc e re affection for Lincoln high school ; in our minds a determination to place a mile stone of merit along our road to greater things.
Our increased importance in school affairs de, manded the best leaders that could be found. We · got them when we chose Marian Kidd, William Pfeiff, Herman Rohrig and Ralph Tyler to be our president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, re, spectively. Not less capable were our student council members, Marian Kidd, Betty Keefer, M ary Hester, Robert Martin, Richard DeBrown and Adna Dobson . Their fine leadership and our co-operation were a combination hard to match.
At least that is what we thought until _ after the olympics wher:i the seniors proved their superior brute strength and won the struggle by twelve points But then, as a learned man once said, 'You can't always win ." The abundance of triumphs during our junior year was sufficient proof that one • defeat did not - make a "seasonful." The record breaking feats of Paul Beck, William Pfeiff, Herman Rohrig and their fell ow athletes will not soon be forgotten. George Mueller gathered glory for our class by winning the state extemporaneous speaking contest. Ralph Tyler, Jane Welch, and Z ellma Matheny received three of the eight superior ratings won in the state music contest. Drama, art and composition, each contributed its share of the laurels. We were modern pioneers and each victory was another step in the all important conquest of life.
Bringing a thrilling season to a brilliant close, came the junior play, which gave to the patrons of Lincoln high school drama that ragged, roguish, fo r , ever lovable Huck Finn. The play laughed itself through three acts and the audience laughed with it. Warren Romans and Hal Hoerner played ad, mirably their roles of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer To the talented cast, to the little-seen-but-much-appreciated managers, and to the director, M iss Frances McChesney, we give all praise for their realistic interpretation of this beloved classic.
In a lucid moment la t January we elected Herman Rohrig, class president; George Ayers, vice, president; William Pfeiff, secretary and Marian Kidd, treasurer. Loyally they stood by us through stress and strain until :final examinations had come and gone and we were seniors.
We embarked courage ously on probably our happiest and certainly our most exciting year. Honor society pins were displayed up and down the halls by their proud owners. Snow was drifted so high that school was closed for a day (happy day). We carried our. senior picture proofs furtively about • with us, hesitating to show them even to our inti, mate friends The most frequently heard lament was , "I always take terrible pictures!" Everyone wondered who would capture the senior speaker, ship, and when we'd stop hearing the Music Goes Round Activity tickets were being used for the . first time, so everybody attended everything. Our life with its complicated duties was comparable to running a three-ring circus with one performer.
To share the responsibilities of class day, the senior play and graduation, the January class chose Paul Beck, class president; Harold Sampson, vice, president; Marian Kidd, secretary, and Adna Dobson, treasurer. We who were to be left behind elected Ralph Reed, Herman Rohrig, Dorothy Swisher and Harold Scott to be president, vice, president, secretary and treasurer, respectively
Class day opened with a bang, the bang of the gavel wielded by convention chairman, Arthur Hill. Committeemen Floyd Rawlings and Pauline Boyd then enlightened us upon subjects near to our hearts, such as self-operating powder puffs and chewing gum compartments. After a nice bit at the pianos by George Ayers and James Simonin, tap dancing by Marjorie Misch, impersonations by Cecil Gore and vocalizing by Mary Fellows and the girls octet, John Good convinced us of the advantages of hav, ing a radio in every class room. Under the di, rection of Vernon Heiliger we sang our class song, written by Elaine Vacik to the tune Anchors Away, and took our bright blue and white pins with their bothersome ribbons to our classes.
'The Green Ghost walked the boards in the auditorium Friday, December 13, and Saturday December 14, with Helen Hoffmark doing a fine piece of acting as the wealthy old lady whose pearls were stolen. A finished performance by the cast and excellent direction characterized this play whose theme might well have been "A thrill a minute."
Having cut their difficult way through senior speaker try-outs and final examinations, one hundred and ninety-eight of our band of pioneers reached a clearing. With John Good and Pearl Stuhr paying the last tribute to Lincoln high, they were graduated
into a greater adventure demanding the courage and endurance that characterized their pioneering forefathers.
Graduation was in the offing for us who were left behind and our high school days were rapidly slipping away, so we paused in our pursuit of a diplom a long enough to select our last officers. Ralph Tyler , Ralph Reed, Donald Barth and Lois Wadlow filled the bill, and with the cooperation of our student council members, Pauline Boyd, Henry Eitel , Mary Jo Henn, Selma Hill, Marian Kidd, Max Lake , Frances Platt, James Porter, June Porter, Ralph Reed, Charles Roberts, Ralph Tyler and Rober t Wekesser, a fine ending to our senior year was as , sured. When Marian Kidd and James Porter lef t in mid-year, Rose Hill a~d Frank Coffman wer e added to the council.
April 2 was a day of triumph for those 74 students whose earnestness of purpose and fineness o f spirit had placed them in the national honor society At an assembly their certificates were presented t o them and to their officers-William Pfeiff, Marian Beardsley, John Good, George Mueller, Dorothy Anderson and Selma Hill.
A word about an undefeated football team which won the Missouri Valley title should certainly be included in the annals of the class. Proud of such fine playing, the class of '36 takes off its hat to th e splendid work of both the football and basketball teams.
The announcements of the Links and the Scrib ~ boards have always been eagerly anticipated by th e whole school. This year was no exception and w e all extended our sincere wishes for success to Hele n McMeen, Helen Severa, William Bramel and Ma x Lake, who comprised the Links board; and to Jessic a Mutz, Dorothy Swisher, Selma Hill and Frank Hallgren, who published the Scribe.
Keen competition between the students and a n acute discrimination on the part of the judges resulted in the selection of the senior speakers. Selm a Hill and Samuel Kirshenbaum were chosen to spea k for our class at graduation It is truly a great honor to be the spokesmen for such a body.
The Shrine club was a mecca for gay colors an d lovely music May 9. The. senior party, a modern affair in blue and white was under way and the boy and girls of the class of '3 6 danced their farewell dance to high school days.
If the seventh daughter of a seventh daughte r would look into the future, she could tell of th e courage and the sincerity with which we solved ou r problems and of the zeal with which we assumed ou r responsibilities to the world As matters stand, how , ever, the class of '36 can determine only to face th e adventures of life in the spirit of modern pioneering
(24]
It is difficult to put into words the feeling of gratitude and affection that we have for our class sponsors. With sympathy and understanding Miss Marguerite Gundermann has helped us with our problems during our three years in Lincoln high school. Her sincerity and enthusiasm have often provided the necessary. impetus to make our school life a success. To the class of '36 as a whole, to its class officers and to the individual students in it she has been ihvaluable. For her kind and gracious aid we can but say, "Thank you, Miss Gundermann."
A class sponsor must give much time and patience to her responsible position. Mrs. Lillian Lawson has been generous with both. Her fine spirit and her zealous interest in all our class ac, tivities have been an inspiration for all of us. No problem has been too inconsequential to receive her attention, or no favor too great to meet with her ready acquiescence. Her spontaneity and her innate friendliness have added much pleasure to school life. The class of '3 6 now asks her to accept its sincere appreciation for the splendid work she has done as class sponsor.
Class officers are among those to whom the senior class is deeply indebted. Their earnest assumption of class responsibilities and their willingness to work have been invaluable to our class sponsors. Upon their shoulders have rested the numerous duties of a senior class. Theirs is the work that requires not only executive ability, but tact as well.
Although a class office is difficult to fill, anyone would be proud to have gained the endo r semen t of his fell ow classmates, and would be glad to know that he had served his school in su ch a r esponsible capacity. The January class of '36 thanks, not only its senior officers, but its other officers as well for their sincere efforts.
When the wind was strong, it blew my hair About my face, and made me want to dare The fierce hardships of nature-to pit my best Against the odds, and to conquer all the rest Of the small trials that seemed too great to bear.
It seemed to freshen me, and rid the air Of all the conflicts with which I had to fare Needlessly. My life was filled with new, live zest, When the wind was strong.
When I have time (but time is rare)
I want to stand at the front of some ship, and snare The wind, again, in my hair. But, lest I miss that chance, when the time comes for the great test
I want to go, fearless; without a care, When the wind is strong.

To steer a ciass through the intricacies of senior play, senior party, senior picnic and the olympics calls for leadership of the highest quality. Every class shows its intelligence and integrity through its choice of leaders. A fine class will stand behind capable officers, while splendid officers have much to do with the making of a successful class. Through,
out its high school existence the class of 1936 has had admirable officers and it is rightfully proud of those chosen during its senior year. Competent minds and enthusiastic spirits have combined to make the last year in Lincoln high school a memor, able one. The class of 19 36 extends to them the gratitude which they deserve.

It is only by the expert advice of the principal s, class sponsors and teachers, and the co n centrated cooperation of the class an d its officers that a class can achieve the fine b~ginning so necessary to its success. o on e realizes this responsibility more tha n th e class officers, for they have been chose n b y their classmates to bear the brunt of it .
Th e sophomore cabinet is the first governi n g body of any class. It .is composed of th e former civic league presidents of the 1unio r high schools. The chief duty of cabine t members is the . inauguration of the new cl ass into its high school life. The seco nd semester the sophomores cast their vo t e fo r the first time and choose four of, fice rs T his practice is repeated each semes t er.
Th e t ask of leading a junior class is an ar du ou s one. Possibly the greatest and mo st d i ffi cult job of the junior class officers is th e su pervising of the junior play. The capa bl e work of the present officers has pre pared a foundation for a vigorous se ni or class.

No hand can make the clock strike the happy hours that are past like the memories chronicled in a year book. Each page of THE LINKS is assembled for the purpose of recording a phase of school life. The faculty section, the senior gallery, the activity, art, sport and humor divisions fit together to make a complete resume of the school year, 1936.
Planning the annual is the work of the Links board, a group of four student members and three faculty members. Collecting material and writing up each feature is the work of the appointed staff. The 1936 student board: Helen McMeen, editor; William Bramel, managing editor; Helen Severa, associate editor; Max Lake, business manager. The faculty board: Sarah T. Muir, chairman of publications board; Frank Kane, financial adviser; V era Garrison, literary adviser.

The Advocate is published and issued every Wednesday by the students of the English 17 class under direction of Miss Belle Farman. Contributions are also made by members of the beginning newswriting classes.
The Advocate has won this year for the seventh time an all-American honor rating, from the Na- • tional Scholastic Press association with a score of 900 out of a possible 1000 points awarded on the various phases of the newspaper.
To acquaint the staff with the different tasks in publishing a newspaper, duties of each member are shifted three times each semester. Highest responsibility is given the managing editor and news editor.
During the fall semester Arthur Hill, Harold Scott and Geraldine Brown were managing editors, and Arlene Gist, Wilma Hall and Dorothy Anderson were news editors. During the spring semester Elizabeth Meyer, Glenn Trump and Logan Rhoden were managing editors, and Dorothy Cook, Ann Hustead and Mildred Storer were news editors. The first semester business staff consisted of Floyd Rawlings, business manager; Donald Anderson, advertising manager, and Helen McMeen, sales manager. The second semester Ben Heard wa business manager and Richard Leverton was advertising manager.
Giving potential authors an outlet for their propensities, the Scribe is published annually by the writers club with a selected staff, planning and editing.
Th e little magazine has progressed rapidly for, with the aid of the activity ticket, its circulation has jumped from three hundred in its fifth year of existence to eleven hundred in the sixth year.
The cover this year is grey with a two-toned engraving in blue-green and red-violet ink. Three full page black and white engravings with six small spots one inch square are scattered throughout the book. These, together with the cover design were made by Hal Wilmeth, art editor, who also designed the new motif, which consisted of a strip across each pair of pages enclosing the words 'The Scribe,, on one page and "1936" on the other.

The Red and Black handbook could well be called the practical guide to Lincoln high school, especially in registration. In it can be found nearly everything one needs to know from floor plans and traffic rules to courses, curriculums and credits.
This year, in the fourth edition, a new section was initiated to list possible vocations for high school students with the subjects that would help in each voca, tion.
This indispensable guide is published by the student council and printed in the Lincoln high school print shop.
The committee for the 1936 Red and Black handbook was Marian Kidd, chairman; Bruce Robb, Elizabeth Meyer.
"When in doubt, consult the style card," might well be the motto of Lincoln high school English students, for in this small pamphlet are listed the standard usc).ges of grammatical forms for the use of English classes and school publications.
American schools might be called mm1ature democracies. This comparison gives a picture of the schools with their student councils and home room representatives. Indeed, they are modeled somewhat after the Senate and House of Representatives in Washington.
From each home room a representative is chosen, and from each class council members are elected. Both representative bodies are elected by popular vote.
The publication of the Red and Black handbook, the organization of a safety campaign, the sponsor- ship of school elections and matinee parties, the presentation of the color day assembly and the decoration of the school at Christmas time are the "senate's" accomplishments for 1936.

As an organization the young legislators provide the committees in charge of the clean-up campaign, club publicity, courtesy to visitors and publicity for joy night.

To enable newcomers to make a ready adjustment to the school and to assist in planning their schedules, the national honor society this year has sponsored a newcomers club. Meetings were held during assembly periods.
Fifteen per cent of the pupils in the senior class, those most prominent in citizenship, scholarship, le.adership and service are chosen each year for . membership in the society. Five per cent of the fifteen per cent are selected in their 12B semester and the remaining ten per cent in the next term Before a pupil can be considered for the society, his records must show that he ranks in the upper one-third of his class scholastically.

On third floor, in the southeast corner, in a room with seats upon a platform rising gradually toward the ceiling, the chemistry club meets. Should one visit this room the first and third Friday of every month after the club has organized for the year, one would probably find a college professor lecturing upon some scientific phenomenon or explaining a scientific accomplishment.

R ising out of an unusually promising English 18 class, has come the debate squad that has represente d Lincoln high school in more than 140 interschoo l debates. In the decision contests thirty-one debat es were won and only nineteen lost.
T his year for the first time an independent district tournament for girls was held. The entries from the squad, Rose Hill, Bessie Grossman and Jean Simmons, won two and lost two debates. This ne w district venture was under the leadership of Gerald K vasnicka and may be followed in the future by a state tournament for girls.
Throughout the year one hundred seventy-one pupil s participated in organized debates and one hundred twenty-eight registered for argumentation courses.
Tr aining its members in debating, parliamentary drill and discussion, the Forum sponsored public speaking in its activities.
D iscussions, expository speeches, humorous talks, deba tes, campaign speeches and orations have all dott ed their program which culminated in the Faul kner cup contest.

All the meetings of the Girl Reserves this year have been woven into a general theme, each meeting featuring a "stepping stone" toward the goal, "to find and give the best."
The devotionals, with appropriate biographies of famous women, and the talks given have been adapted to the lines of the Girl. R.eserve code as stepping stones on the path to their 1de~ls.
Girl Reserves bear the same relation to the Y. W. C. A. as the Hi-Y does to the Y. M. C. A.

"The Find Yourself" campaign of the Hi-Y was one of the most valuable features on a very constructive program. The campaign started with selfanalysis questionnaires and culminated with employer interviews aiming all the while to help the boys in a choice of vocation.
In conjunction with similar clubs, the Lincoln Hi-Y was represented in the county Hi-Y confer, ence here in Lincoln and at the tri-state conference at Sioux City, Iowa.
In all its programs the Hi-Y drove onward toward its goal of clean speech, clean sportsmanship, clean scholarship and clean living.

Loud, rollicking laughter rolled forth. The Mummers were giving the hilarious comedy, "The Family Upstairs".
Toes, heels flickered upon the floor giving their telegraphic messages.
Members assumed characteristics and spoke words not their own as they played the roles of other characters in the lines of plays for club meetings .
The ether filled with a feeling of mystery. Thieves were discovered and acquitted. The Mummers play "Dollars to Doughnuts" was given.
A hill-billy party featured Private Hoerner's Amateur Hour, a picturesque scene with every one dressed in typical hill-billy costume.

Looking in on the Mimes, we wondered what those pupils upon the stage were doing. They were gesturing, putting their thoughts into their actions. It was a pantomine.
Alumni members were present. A cast was giving the farce play Hot Dogs. Then the alumni were congratulating them on the performance.
A section of a football stadium loomed up, crowded with spectators. The football fans broke into a roar, then a sigh of despair swept through them. Woodie Knott, Bahoo half-back, reversed his field to score a mistake safety for Siwash. Yes, it was a rehearsal for the Mimes assembly program, 'f ouchdown

It is the power of music to express every thought of man, to give voice to his impulses and hopes, to feel out his moods and play upon them, to bring peace and rest, to instil fear and hate. Music is the sanctuary and inspiration of man. Music has induced moods, expanded them, fed and satisfied them. Music, with its history, its peculiarities, its future, has been the program of the Orpheons.
Beside being entertained at meetings, the Orpheons have presented a comic assembly, put on Merry-Go-Round Merriment in joy night and sponsored the opera by aiding in the advertising.

In 193 3 two sophomores, musically inclined, had an idea. These pupils were Helen Severa and Vernon Heiliger who enlisted the aid of Mr. Tempel. Out of this idea has grown the Clef club, sophomore musical group.
Last year, the third year of its existence, the club received forty sophomores for mid-year try-outs. This was ample evidence of the attractiveness of their programs

"I wish I were Aladdin who had a magic lamp ' -goes one of the popular songs. But no lamp is needed when you wish for entertainment in Lincoln high school. Ranging from movies to classical music, from burlesque football games to circus parades and from amateur hours to the beautiful Christmas assembly presented by the choir, variety has been the keynote of the season.
The series was opened October 4, with the annual color day celebration-the student council in charge. The members of the football team were presented with the possibility of spending their lives in prison, freedom being gained only if they effectively stopped Sioux City East. With the aid of the student body who vociferously demonstrated their support, the squad felt that freedom was assured.
In keeping with the season, another athletic assembly was given October 17 and 18. Earl Johnson, supervisor of physical education, exhibited motion pictures of football, showing how it should be played and how celebrities play it. At the same assembly William G. Tempel assisted by Cecil Gore, head cheer-leader, directed football songs and cheers.
'Things I Used to Believe was the subject of an address given in the assemblies of October 30 and 31, by Dr. D. A. Worcester of the University of Nebraska. He illustrated his subject with chalk drawings. Preceding his talk, an organ recital was given by Edward Borgens on the new Hammond electric organ. He played both popular and classical music.
Honor students, ten per cent of the January class and five per cent of the June class, received na, tional honor society certificates November 7 and 8, from H. C. Mardis, who stated that the awards were based upon activities and character ratings as well
as on scholarship, the records of which are kept for each student from the moment he enters Lincoln high school. Mi Kathryn Dean ang, accompanied by Mis Beth Miller, who also gave some pian o solos.
National education week, beginning November 11, was appropriately opened by Dr. Paul C Johnson, pastor of \V estminster Presbyterian church, who spoke on the Armistice. He mentioned th e causes back of every war and in conclusion voiced a wish for a world "made not by an army, but qy love and peace." Oscar Bennet of Nebraska Wesleyan, a popular favorite with Lincoln high stu , dents, closed the program with two songs.
A gala event was the color day of the class of 1936, November 15 With the January and June class presidents leading them, the seniors made an impressive showing as they marched into the auditorium, wearing blue and white convention badges with streamers of the' same colors. The stage was a convention platform; the seniors were delegates The theme of the program suggested changes which were guaranteed to revolutionize the school. The speakers were Arthur Hill, chairman of the con, vention, Floyd Rawlings and Pauline Boyd who ad, vocated drastic school reforms. At the close of the program the class song, written by Elaine Vacik , was sung by the entire class, Vernon Heiliger directing.
Under the baton of Bernard Nevin the advanced orchestra played a selection from the Ballet Sylvia and a short number, Caucasian S"l{_ etches, for the November 21 and 22 assemblies. W. G. Tempel led group singing.
The Orpheons presen ed for assemblies A and B on November 26 and 2 7, an original and clever sketch. The story, laid in a broadcasting studio , introduced Mrs. Van Shimer, a patronizing social club woman, in the studios for the purpose of ob , taining talent for her charity ball.
To put the finishing touches to a successful foot , ball season, letters of award were given December 3 and 4 to the members of the first and second squads by Coach Stuart Baller and reserve Coach Ralph J. Andrews to their respective teams. In order that all might have a better understanding of the technique of football, a second group of movmg pictures was shown by Earl Johnson.
A glimpse into the school life at Bahoo School was given by the Mimes when, December 9 and 10, they presented a play, 'Touchdown.
The Midwest assemblies company gave on De, cember 17 an unusual interpretation of the life of Abraham Lincoln
As a fitting climax to the year 19 3 5, the choir of Lincoln high school, directed by William G. Tempel, presented the annual Christmas assembly, an event which is always anticipated with a great deal of joy. It was, without a doubt, the most beautiful program of the year: a pageant of music, beauty and song
The departure of Stuart Baller for Peru was the occasion of a farewell assembly held January 22, which included in its program talks by Mr. Mardis and Mr. Lauritsen, representing the faculty; and by William Pfeiff and Herman Rohrig for the boys who had come under the charge of Coach Baller
and for the school at large. Mr. Baller then voiced his appreciation for the work of the teams and of the student body. He left January 30, to take over the coaching at the Peru State Normal College.
An American flag was presented to the school February 21 by Mrs. C. R. Harris of the American Legion auxiliary. Henry Eitel of the student council received the flag on behalf of the school. Mrs. Robert Armstrong, state president of the auxiliary, explained the purpose of the presentation. The university string quartet played, and Dr. Ray Hunt spoke concerning little-known facts abou,t George Washington.
In a variety program of accordion selections, both jazz and classical, Edd Clark, from a local music store, played the accordion and demonstrated the duo-accordion, February 24.
In prophetic tone, Judge B. H. Paine of the Nebraska Supreme Court addressed the assembly February 28 on What's Ahead of Us in 1936. It is his theory that imminent danger is threatened, not by war, but by mass movements and he advocates that each person solve his own problems.
On State Day, March 2, Governor Roy Cochran gave a short history of our state and its present standing. "We are one of the three states in the country," he explained, "that is not in debt, a situation we are proud of and should try to maintain. The boys glee club sang three numbers, one of which was the familiar My 'N_ebras~a.
How militaristic ambitions of Germany are furthered by her national youth movement was explained by Dr. Esther Brenauer, chairman of national relations for the American Association of University Women, speaking on Young People in Germany at the assembly of March 5. Completing the program, the boys glee club sang the same numbers they gave for the state day assembly.
One of the most interesting programs given during the year was the presentation of the Faulkner Cup to William McKenna, who won the award for his oration, Merchants of War. The cup, which is given every year, was presented by Edwin Faulkner, Jr. of Lincoln, son of the donor, for the purpose of promoting the art of oratory. The other two final contestants, who gave their orations before the assembly, were George Mueller, with Webster's reply to Haynes, and Samuel Kirshenbaum speaking on How Many Centuries of Progress? The judges who made the final selection were Mrs. J. P. Senning, Ray Rice and Mr. Faulkner.
A program advertising joy night took the form of a circus parade with performers stopping to entertain.
The Girl Reserves on March 18, presented an assembly for girls and had as speaker Mrs. W. H. Morgan of Iowa City. The situations that girls of high school age must face, and the things that society demands of each girl were pointed out by Mrs. Morgan. The attitude that parents should have toward their high school offspring and visa versa was freely discussed. Previous to the talk, the girls glee club with Miss Stowell directing, sang three numbers.
The principal of Omaha Central, J. G. Masters, author of the recently published book, Stories of the
Far West, talked to the assembly, March 27. He told tales of the fur traders and early pioneers who explored the west.
The debate squad, coached by Gerald K vasnicka, held a debate, April 1, on the state question, Socialized Medicine, for an appreciative audience. George Mueller and Calvin Rollins upheld the affirmative advocating that a system of socialized medicine be established in the United States. Samuel Kirshenbaum and Otto Woerner argued the negative. The results of the debate as judged by the audience indicated that the affirmative had the better of the argument.
The second honor so iety assembly of the· year awarded certificates to fifty-three new members, April 5. The remaining ten per cent of the June class and the first five per cent of the next January class were admitted to membership at the same time. W. G. Tempel and William McKenna concluded the assembly, Mr. Tempel singing two numbers, and William McKenna repeating the oration, Merchants of War. •
The potential abilities of the 19 38 class were demonstrated April 16 and 17 when they · gave Major Beaux Amateur Hour. With Jack Stewart taking the part of the Major, the program presented a variety of good talent. To add to the reality of the affair, the public address system, manipulated by Edward Edison, was used.
Vocational guidance was the topic of A. A. Rosborough's address at the annual Hi-Y assembly. Personnel director in a local depa:-rtment store, Mr. Rosborough u,rged that the boys find out what they are best fitted for in order that prospective employers may be able to place them with as little difficulty as possible. Oz Black concluded the program of the Hi-Y "Find yourself' campaign by asking the boys to sign up for a vocational guidance interview to be held in the near future.
H. C. Mardis, principal, gave a chalk talk in an assembly for sophomores, April 22, concerning vocations . He explained the new registration and urged that students consider their vocations before registration. Warning them against over-crowded fields, he asked, "If all the boys who wish to be air pilots and girls who plan to be air stewardesses actually enter these fields, who will be left for passengers?"
Alfred Reider, baritone from the university, presented a joint program with some of the Lincoln high state music contestants on April 30. Mr. Reider, accompanied by Ruth Hill, sang a group of four numbers including 'Ta~e What the Desert Offers; 'Tramp, 'Tramp, 'Tramp; Shortenin' Bread and American Lullaby. Betty Joe Koehler, pianist; Jean Simmons, flute soloist, and the girls octet were the Lincoln high school contributions to the program.
An assembly humorously describing the hardships of Americanization was given May 1 by Dr . William T. Pfeiler of the German department of the university. Dr. Pfeiler believes that most Americans do not fully appreciate the honor of that title. After fighting for two years in the Kaiser's army to make the world "unsafe for democracy" and then coming to America, he had a great deal of trouble in mastering the language and the customs, but retains his belief in the superiority of this country.
The iights are darkened. The curtains swish back. A sudden hush falls over the noisy, filled house, and the play begins. The night you have dreamed of, lived over and over again, has begun. Lines are said, mechanically at first, but not without conviction. Scared? Of course! Who wouldn't be on his first appearance behind those glaring footlights, staring out at nothing but a total blackness? Your heart races and your hands twitch, but somehow you get th rough the first act. The second seems easier and by the third act you call yourself a first-rate actor.
But, oh, the ordeal you go through before this night Remember the try-outs with two or three hundred of your classmates competing against you, each one determined to "get a part"? And then a pink call-slip comes to set your hopes high until you discover it only summons you to a third or fourth try-out .
At last-the final cast is announced and you are one of the lucky members! Steady rehearsals begin; th ere is tedious memorization of lines and long hours after school. And the blackest moment comes when th e dress rehearsal turns out to be a total failure.
Ah ! Then you have your night of success, and th e second night reveals you even more of a Barry, more or a Garbo than the first. When the farewell picture is taken, you pack up and go home thinking it's all over-but, is it? No, you never forget it if you are in a play at Lincoln high school. Miss McCh esney with her patience, consideration and under-
standing is remembered, al o. To work with her is a privilege and a reward in itself.
Others beside those on the stage make the plays of Lincoln high school successful. Under the guiding hand of C. E. Evans, the carpentry classes provide picturesque settings, and the printing and art depart, ments aid in the advertising campaigns and the prep, aration of programs and tickets, while Miss Ellen Anderson and her auditing committee are responsible for the efficient handling of the tickets.
Variety is the spice of any program and this years entertainment has included comedy provoking thoughtful laughter as well as comedy of the slapstick variety, a thrilling mystery and a farce.
Time marches on and Lincoln high school has passed through another successful year of drama.
It wasn't a three-ring circus but a three-night circus, and what a crowd to enjoy it!
Excelling the famous Ringling Brothers in variety, this unusual joy night, performed by groups selected from the student body, omitted not one detail. The audience witnessed trained acrobats, snake charmers, toe and tap dancers and even the Di~mne quintuplets ( teachers to you)
With William G. Tempel as P. F. Barnum, the men of the faculty presented a famed "Believe It or Not" spectacle. It was certainly hard to believe, even when seeing, that Lincoln high school's own principal could be such a convincing snake charmer, and that Otto Hackman in the role of the tallest man could swallow eight classes of tomato juice three nights in succession ( some yen for tomato juice, I'd say). Neal Mehring portrayed the tattooed man while Harold Lauritson showed his strength handling iron bars and eating spikes (peppermint spikes taste pretty good, you know), and Frank Kane pulled a rabbit from a hat with the skill of a true magician.
Supplying the acrobatic element of the evening were Richard Logan and Peter Kreischer. Even Popeye, Baille Selassie and Tarzan · made their appearances and George Sievert's seranaders added a touch to the program by playing several popular tunes. No circus is complete without the usual bevy of clowns, midgets, a contortionist and bearded lady. This one had the added attraction 'of talking penguins. A grand climax to the circus was "Merry-go-round M erriment," a program centered about a miniature merry-go-round with such gay dances and tunes that the audience was sent home humming I Love 'To Ride the Horses.
Joy night is an all-school production, organized and managed by the student council,
Amid laughs, cheers and roars of applause, the Mummers again went over 'tops' with a most enthusiastic audience witnessing that provoking farce, " Dollars to Doughnuts," November 1 and 2.
Trying to appear as paupers in a twenty-five room mansion for the benefit of a communistic millionaire and at the same time attempting to show off their vast wealth to a prince without letting the two prospective son-in-laws get together, the Boland family suffered repeated misunderstandings and dif , ficult situations.
While the roles of Mr. Boland, the Reverend Piggott and Flossie Hill brought frequent convulsive laughs from the audience, the others of the cast did their share in making the fun
An unseen character, Mr. Dan Cupid, played an important part throughout the story by creating three romances.
"Dollars to Doughnuts" it was a good play!!
Banging doors! A stealthy figure in green! Creepy voices from seemingly nowhere! Whose flesh wouldn ' t tingle under those conditions? Such was the atmosphere created by the seniors in presenting, " The Green Ghost," December 13 and 14.
The plot was woven around the mysterious disappearance of the Van West pearls . Caroline Van West was about to divide her fortune among her hopeful, impatient relatives. Then-the precious pearls vanished and suspicion was cast on each one in the household. The audience, mystified as to the thief's identity, was astonished when the green-eyed, sinister Chinese servant, Ah Lee, admitted being a notorious criminal.
"Whopen wope wopere opin thope hopouse?"
Greek? No, and not pig Latin, but merely a high school code used by George and Terry McIntyre and their friends in Growing Pains, the junior play given April 24 and 2 5.
For their children to grow up was most painful for Professor and Mrs. McIntyre, who endured crazes for a flivver, white flannels , high heels and a steady boy friend.
The high spot of the play was a dancing party at which the junior actors gave their audience the "low -down" · on how to flirt and roll off smooth lines. However, Terry found that Prudence's vamp, ing wasn't quite so successful for her so she resorted to her own method of being just a pal, much to the relief and satisfaction of the boys.
George, refused by the sweet young thing, having gone so far as to be arrested in order to protect the lady fair, felt very much squelched. But, before disaster took place, a new blonde appeared on the scene and the story ended-brother and sister with future interests and mother and father with future worries.

The full, sustained chords of O Peaceful J\light, sung by the choir, fell on the audience of teachers as the brightly-hued leaves were falling from the autumn trees outside. For the Nebraska state teach, ers association, which had convened at Lincoln, the German, French and Spanish classes then added their bit of continental variety. The girls glee, too, presented Songs My Mother 'Taught Me, My Johnny Is a Sh0ema~er and 'T a~e Joy Home.
Changing the dominant tone to one of stirring martial time, the band marched down the street toward the oval. Football games were now the score with excitement running high. Sons of the Blac~ and Red and Cheer for Lincoln High School were sung lustily.
A cold, biting wind whistled around the Temple Theater as the octet sang prophetically 'The Snow Storm, then Hymn to an Evening Star and Four Leaf Clover. This was on November 14, at the Character Education conference and the boys glee advised Keep in the Middle of the Road and sang 'The Mascot of the 'Troop.
The first high school vesper followed the next week. Betty Zabriskie was the guest artist. 'The Flight of the Bumble Bee and In the Valley from Caucasian S~etches were played by the orchestra.
Then as Jack Frost painted the trees, shrubs and window panes a misty white, the Lincoln high school orchestra presented a group of appreciation concerts. On Decerribei 9 and 10, the grade schools were visited and on the following three days the orches, tra played at Irving, Everett and Whittier junior high schools.
Then all was white, covered with a warm, woolly snow blanket and faintly we heard the ever familiar strains of O Come AH Ye Faithful sung by the choir behind the traditional row of thirty-three white candles. In reverent mood we listened to the Christ, mas vesper preceded by two songs Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming and Praetorius presented by the boys glee club. Taking up the last hallelujah, the choir
quietly sang 'The Angels and the Shepherds, fol, lowed by a distant echo of Silent J\light played by the flute trio. And to the tune of sleigh bells and Har~! 'The Herald Angels Sing, the choir and boys glee club added a festive atmosphere to the annual Christmas tree lightincr on the snow-covered steps of the state capitol on Christmas eve.
During the Christmas season the flute trio and the woodwind quintet played at the Stuart theater to a group of junior high school pupils who were there on a civic league trip. The trio played the appropriate number, Dance of the Reed Flutes.
To start the new year out in a musical way, the girls glee club was asked to sing at the Lindell hotel for the Optimist club on January 16. Their numbers included 'The Snow Storm, Mother Machree and 'The Sleigh. As an encore the girls sang Her Dream. The next day, at a tea at the Governor's mansion, the flute trio presented Polacca and Gavotte. The occasion was a meeting of the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion.
As the January thaw set in, the girls glee club made another public appearance at the Lincoln hotel for the annual conference of the county superintendents. This time they sang some of the "good old" songs, such as Songs My Mother 'Taught Me, Morning Hymn and 'T a~e Joy Home. The next Sunday, January 26, the glee club presented the same group of songs and the orchestra played Entrance of a Little Faun, Beautiful Galatea and 'Thornrose Waltz in anticipation of spring. Wilber Chenoweth, piano soloist, played as guest artist. In their last public appearance the girls glee club sang for the Kiwanis club Moon Mar~eting, Invocation to Life and the ever popular 'Trees by Joyce Kilmer.
The flute trio presented several selections at Whittier junior high school for the variety program given to raise money for the milk fund.
The age-old March winds did not stop the boys glee club and band from presenting a vesper concert the first of March. The wailings and sighings of the wind lent rather an etherial accompaniment to the Cornish Fiddle Song and At the Crossroads sung by the male chorus As the wind rose . and gathered velocity, the band burst forth on the University of 'J\[_ebras~a March, 'Triumphal March from Aida and Wedding Day at 'T ralddaugen. Then as the blast subsided to gentle zephyrs, the choir could be heard singing O Peaceful Night. In the last vesper concert of the year both the orchestra and choir seemed to anticipate the warm freshness of spring in such numbers as Youth Courageous, Say 'Thou Dost Love Me, Dream Pantomime and 'The Singers.
While the winds were still blowing, the octet, presented the Angels Chorus the state contest number, and Come Down Laughing Streamlet for the superintendents' convention at the Hotel Cornhusker.
Spring was really in the air when the state music contest was held at Kearney, May 1 and 2. Kearney won the sweepstakes, having just one more point and one more entry than Lincoln. Lincoln high school sent fifteen entries, twelve received "superior" rating, the three received "excellent". Out of a possible eighty-one points, Kearney made only sev, enty,two while Lincoln made seventy-one points out of a possible seventy-five.
The larger groups repre enting Lincoln were th e choir, orchestra , and boys and girls glee clubs. The smaller groups consisted of the octet, string quartet and the woodwind quintet. Three voice soloists and five instrumental soloists completed the Lincoln contestants.
A ll except the larger groups in Class A attended the district preliminaries at Geneva, April 3, to determine the individuals and small groups eligible for the state contest. A superior or excellent rating was necessary for eligibility.
T he girls octet, directed by Miss Helen Stowell, is composed of Pauline Boyd, Mary Fellows, Mary Ellen Osborn, Malinda Naderhoff, Dorothy Perrin, W i lma Hall, Lois Hammond and Arlene Grand, mo u gin.
J ean Simmons, Ruth Surber and Marion White co mpose the flute trio. Those in the woodwind q u intet are Selma Hill, George Mueller, Vict or M olzer, \Villard Mertz and Bowen Taylor. The st ring quartet has as its members Zellma Matheny, A da Charlotte Miller, June Meek and Charlotte Qu ick.
T he musical season ended with the proverbial "bang" in the form of the opera, 'The Prince of Pilsen, presented by the choir, assisted by the boys glee, directed by W. G. Tempel and sponsored by t he Orpheons.
T he background was the Hotel Internationale in N ice, France. The plot began with the rumor that th e Prince was coming and when Hans Wagner, t he German brewer from Cincinnati, arrived at Nice on a pleasure trip with his daughter Nellie, they were mistaken for the Prince and Princess of Pilsen.
T his spot in France was a very popular summer resort and before the first act was over, Vassar girls from America, naval cadets off the Annapolis, waiters from the hotel, students accompanying the r eal Prince, and the golf girls with Mrs. Crocker were all assembled at the hotel site.
N ellie and the prince fell in love with each other. Ed it h, one of the Vassar girls, became interested in a handsome naval cadet, Tom Wagner, the son of H ans. Then Lord Somerset (Artie) proposed not less than five times to the wealthy widow, Mrs. Crocker. Francois, the hotel manager, proposed to M rs. Cracker's maid, Sidonnie. By the end of the p lay every one was happy except Artie who had left only his ego to console him.
T om and the prince were thrown into jail because of an unkissed kiss, Hans fell in the fountain, Mrs. C rocker ran away from Artie and the secret plans of a fort were discovered In spite of all this discord, everything turned out well in the end as all good comedies should .

The diversity of special awards given in Lincoln high school in scholarship, music, athletics, art, literature and oratory shows the school's effort to develop well-rounded individuals.
Since 1917 a scholarship award is given to the pupil having the highest average during his high school years. It is determined entirely by the scholarship record of the pupil. It was won this year by True Chappell who has been preceded in this honor by the following students of other years:
Marjorie Smith , Martha Leefers , George M. Richardson Dougall , Vivian Rowene Miller , Frieda A Baeder , DeMaries Virginia Hilliard , Evelyn Grayce Lyon , Helen A Baeder , Esther Gay lord , Lois Haning
Bernice Cozad
Gerald Else
Katherine Mc Whinnie
Helen Miller , William Bertwell
David Halbersleben
Gertrude Tomson , Harry Voss , Theresa Schramm
The last year was a most prolific one for literary a wards. Several new to Lincoln high school were received by pupils. In an editorial contest spon, sored by the Journal of National Education and Stu,
dent Leader, Arlene Gist brought honor to herself and to Lincoln high chool by winning first place. Democracy Means Self-Discipline was the theme of the contest. A cartoon by Carl Schlueter had sec, ond place honorable mention in the cartoon division of the same contest.
Although there is not a chapter of Quill and Scroll, national high school honorary journalism society, in Lincoln high school, pupils have entered its contests and have won several of its awards. Cecil Gore and Frank Hallgren won gold keys for creative writing. Accomplished in a forty-five minute test Cecil planned and wrote copy for an advertisement, and Frank wrote an editorial on Boycotting the 1936 Olympics.
Several pupils received honorable mention in other Quill and Scroll contests. In the current news test and in the news judgment divisions Arthur Hill won honorable mention, as qid Jean Frey in the copy reading contest.
In the Nebraska division Edwardene Phillips, Selma Hill and Burdette Morton won first places in column, news story and headline writing, respectively.
The Advocate, Lincoln high school's weekly news, paper, won this year all-American rating from the National Scholastic press association as has been the case every year but one since 1926. The 19 35 American Education week award in school journalism was given the Advocate by the Journal of National Education and the Student Leader in recognition of an outstanding contribution to education. The publication earned the silver cup in division A of the tri-state high school press contest sponsored by Midland college in 19 3 1 and 19 3 3 and in 1932 it received first place.
THE L11 KS, Lincoln high school annual, has received all American rating from the National Scholastic press association twice and first class rating four times since 19 30.
State music contests have been hdd since 1924. Of this event THE LINKS of that year says, "Although this is the first year that a state music contest has ever been held, more than fifteen schools entered. It is hoped that the event may become an annual affair." And it did become an annual affair in which Lincoln high school has won six of the twelve contests.
The grand trophy had been won for the third consecutive year by 1936 and it seemed that Lincoln high school's place in Nebraska high school music circles would become permanent. THE LINKS stated, "The beautiful silver cup, given by the Chamber of Commerce, is now the permanent property of the school. Any school winning the contest for three consecutive years is given the cup to keep, and another similar one becomes the trophy."
In 1929 Lincoln received three firsts, one second and a third. After taking four firsts, a third and a fourth in 1930, the orchestra, band, string quartet and the cello soloist contributed to winning the sweepstake trophy by earning first places. A third was taken in the girls high voice, and a fourth by the vocal quartet.
The following year Lincoln again won the sweepstakes. With only four entries in 19 32 the rating was fifth.
Lincoln high reached its musical pinnacle in 19 3 5 with almost a dozen entries receiving eight superior and three excellent ratings. Superior ratings were earned in the following: boys high voice, boys medium voice, flute solo, violin solo, contra bass solo, woodwind quartet and orchestra. The girls octet, girls glee club and choir received excellent rating Lincoln's entrance in the 1936 contest surpassed all records by earning twelve superior and three e xcellent ratings. Although they were beaten by one point by Kearney, each judge readily stated that the Lincoln high school musicians were worthy of praise.
Superior ratings were given in the piano solo, boys medium voice, girls high voice, bassoon, oboe, viola, girls octet, string -quartet, woodwind quintet, choir, orchestra and boys glee club. Excellent ratings were received by the girls glee club, flute solo and boys low voice.
In 19j5 Jane Welch , Ralph Tyler, Jack Tucker, Wayne Krieger, Ada Charlotte Miller and Zellma Matheny received recognition from the National Bureau for Advancement of Music and the Nebraska high school music association.
The art of speaking has been cultivated in classes and clubs. The chief event for orators in Lincoln high school is the Faulkner cup contest, first presented by Edwin J. Faulkner in 1928, at the time his son, Edwin J. Faulkner, Jr., was president of the Forum. This year William McKenna won the cup with his talk on Merchants of War. Former winners of the cup are:

Pioneering into new territory , two new first class teams, Sioux: City and Wyandotte high of Kansas Cit y, were add ed to Lincoln high ' s 19 3 5' football schedules . The old rivalry betw een Crete and the R ed and Black was renewed at Crete in the first game of the season. The Links scored in the first three periods and won 20 -0. Three other touchdowns were annulled by penalties.
L incoln met Sioux City East here and repelled the Bla ck Raiders before 2,000 onlookers by the score of 34-0. Eugene Miller showed his wares by scoring two touchdowns on long runs
Th e reserves put up a stiff battle in the annual tilt between the first and second teams. Playing to few spectators, the regulars won 13-0.
Th e meeting with Falls City was a game of wits Lin coln marched seventy yards in the first three minutes to score their only points. The Tigers pre , sented one of the smartest and fastest teams the Red and Black met during the season .
On a soggy field and on a cold afternoon the Links met Omaha Tech there and scored heavily in the second and third quarters, winning 27-0. Johnn y Capron started the scoring spree by intercepting a pass and racing 46 yards to a touchdown.
Playing their second consecutive game away:from home, the Red and Black sallied forth into the land of the Sioux Indians to -avenge the 26-14 scalping they received from Sioux City Central in '34. Box , ing up their star, Jack Kennedy, Lincoln high down ed the Sioux 8-0 before the largest crowd which Lincoln ha.cl played before during the season.
Tt was homecoming for Central and the game was preceded by a pande in the morning.
Meeting their thorn in the side, Beatrice, the Links concluded their games away and were held to a 7-0 count. Threatening time after time, Lincoln scored only in the fourth quarter with Herm Rohrig carry, ing the ball.
The routing of Omaha Central, 2 5 -0 , gave Lincoln the Missouri Valley title. With both teams undefeated, the invaders threatened only once, and that came in the final quarter. This game was the only one which Lincoln high players had to execute in the mud
Grand Island raised th e Red and Blacks' anger by scoring the only two points made against them in the entire season. A blocked punt early in the first quarter resulted in a safety and netted those two points. The 2 5, 2 cleaning wasn ' t enough to sooth the angered Ballermen.
Forced to leave their new red jerseys at home and don the blue ones from the university in order to distinguish them from their opponents the Red and Black met Wyandotte of Kansas City. Although outweighed, the Links completely outclassed the Bulldogs, 3 5'-0, at the memorial stadium. The game ended the high school careers of twenty-five Red and Black players with only five returning.
Bill Pfeiff, guard and Herman Rohrig, half back, were chosen all state while Leo Benson, George Binger and Adna Dobson were given honorable mention.
Football of 19 3 5' was a game of speed, skill and brawn combined. The use of lateral and forward passes was developed to a high - degree and these plays proved to be important in the games.
The farming school for next years regulars opened the season by losing 7-0 to Havelock . Jones intercepted a pass and galloped sixty yards to score.
The seconds battled to a 6-6 tie with College View in the second game of the season.
Jackson's wish for a game with the Red and Black regulars was quieted when the Reserves held the Methodists to a 7-6 victory.
At last the Reserves won a game, 22-0, with the Beatrice seconds. Their winning streak was stretched to two straight victories by downing Cathedral 2-0.
Closing the season, the seconds lost to Bethany 13-0. Though losing all but three games, the Re, serves gained experience in the style of play the first team uses.
With six lettermen reporting, the Red and Black cagers opened the season against Columbus, Helzer showing the way to a 44-8 victory.
Though· leading three periods and dominating the play throughout, the Links barely nosed out Omaha Tech, 30-29. It was the opening game in the Missouri Valley conference for Lincoln.
Picking up momentum and polishing their defense as they went, the Links defeated Sioux City Central, 3 5, 21. Their third victory showed the Red and Black to be a :first class team. On the next night, the Links played a postponed game with Omaha Central and, led by Captain Rohrig, won 34-19.
Lincoln took over the leadership in the Missouri Valley conference with a 36-30 victory over Omaha South It was the first conference loss of the season for South. Lincoln had received their first look at Al Randall, all state center in that game.
Continuing to show their fine form, the Red and Black downed Beatrice as their seventh victim in as nany starts with a 36 -28 score.
Lincoln completely outclassed a game Omaha Central team as Coach Baller bade farewell to Lincoln high. The 4 7 -28 victory left the Links temporarily on top in the conference race with South in record place. Geneva was smashed under the Links steam roller which flattened them 49-16. The victory was the :first under the reign of Coach Andrews.
Crete threw a scare in the Red and Black, but were subdued 27-21 in a game in which Lincoln appeared sluggish and seldom flashed their normal power. Only in the last few minutes did they come to life.
Their lead in the conference race was short-lived and South captured their second Missouri Valley title. It was all caused by the 34-33 upset handed the Links by Sioux City East . In a very fast game that took an extra period to break the tie, the Black Raiders did a fine job of mowing down a lead. Again acting lifeless the Links rallied in the second half to edge out Omaha Tech, 24-22. Completely outclassed the :first half, the Red and Black scored sitexen points and held the Maroons to a one-point. Trying to select his ten tournament players, Coach Andrews used the substitutes against York and won 31-18 with -Hudkins leading the scoring.
Those two points against the gridders in their football season were avenged as the Red and Black tramped to a 51-5 victory. The Links were humbled 34-28 in the newly established annual game with the alumni. Jackson turned the faces of Lincoln rooters red as they tried to swallow a 28-14 setback. The game was played on the Nebraska Wesleyan floor and the place was filled to capacity. Miller started the scoring, but Jackson very quickly turned the tables and romped easily to victory. The game decided the inter-city championship.
Starting on the right foot, the Lincoln seconds swamped Wymore, 64-2, and on the following night trampled Malcolm, 31-8. Sprague- M artel's long winning streak wa snapped by a 18-16 defeat and the reserves outcla ed Teachers high, 34-11. Downing Cathedral, 2 5-19, put the reserves in a tie for city league honors . T hey went on to snap Swa n , ton's record of eight victories with a 20-19 victor y Beatrice also fell before them, 4 3-14, and the reserves eked out a 26-21 win. Liberty was not" so liberal as they trampled the reserves, 52-12. Hav elock stepped forth with a score of 32-28, a n d Bethany helped them close their season with a 31- 2 1 drubbing. Jackson took :first place in the great er Lincoln league and was winner-up in the sta t e tournament. Bethany took second in the local lo o p and won the Class B title. The reserves :finished i n third place. Neal Mehring, who broke into t h e coaching circle for the first time, piloted the reserv es through the season.
Lincoln entered the Class A regional tourn ey played on the Agricultural College maples and m et Seward in the :first round. The 38-14 victory r eminded followers of the team that they were seei ng the same spirit that they had seen earlier in t he season. Semifinals brought Lincoln and York t ogether in their second meeting. The Links bare ly ousted the same team the subs had beaten late in t he season, 21-18.
Jackson again showed its superiority by subdui ng Lincoln by a score of 30-20. The state champio nship, which Lincoln has won oftener than any oth er team, was contested on the university courts. Ne wman Grove didn't show up well against the Links i n the first game of the tourney so the Red and Blal k was able to clear the bench and every man saw co rt siderable service. The final score was 4 5, 1S . Hastings, after trailing all the way until the l a st minute, showed Lincoln the gate by a score of 29- 28 Fuller sifted through the Links' defense to pull t he Tigers within one point of the lead and Trupp e s basket gave them the game. Though Lincoln lo ~t only four games, East Sioux City, Jackson twic e, and Hastings, they failed to take any titles. It w a s hard to lose a coach in mid-season, but Coac ·1 Andrews succeeded Coach Baller competently. I t was bitter to swallow the double defeat by Jacksor i, but to Jackson we'll say, "We'll be seeing you ne }..t year."

Red-daubed seniors, black-smeared juniors and unpainted neutrals speculated on the outcome of the annual clash between seniors and juniors until time was called on the last event of the 1936 olympics, May 15. The final struggles found the seniors rallying to take the last two events of the day and to win, 72-60. The red -marked boys tied the scor e at 60 by capturing the laurels in the sack rush and won by successfully defending their flag for the final twelve points.
The juniors started off right by taking the girls baseball throw. Lucille Hofferber demonstrated that the girls aren't so weak as tradition paints them as she tossed the ball eighty yards for her first score.
The boys weren't to be subordinated. They won the boys baseball throw. Bill Kinnamon heaved the ball 105 yards which brought the juniors' points up to ten.
A pass of fifty-seven yards by Merrill Green, junior, was good enough to beat out Jack Heilman, senior, in the boys football throw.
Lucille Hofferber popped up with her second five points for the juniors as she out-threw Dorothy Kammercell in the girls basketball throw.
The seniors collected their first points in the 40yard dash. Eugene Miller edged out Bill Kinnamon to make the score: juniors , 20; seniors , 5.
Lucille Hofferber came back again by leading in the girls 40-yard dash and by adding an easy victory.
In the boys 7 5-yard dash the seniors finished one-two as Francis Thomas edged out his team mate, Eugene Miller. •
At last Lucille Hofferber met her equal, for Donna Willman won from her in the girls 75, yard dash. This was the first senior girl victory
The junior relay team-George Binger, Bill Kinnamon, Glen George and George Borgens--won fr~m the seniors-Ruby, Miller, Brewster and Kulper-in the boys shuttle relay.
The seniors won the girls shuttle relay. The relay team was composed of Donna Willman, Jeanne Shader, Wauneta Sharp, Betty Eberline, Maxine Klein, Mary Jo Henn, Ruth Wilcox and Lucille Beers.
Henry Lorenz, junior, took o ne minute three seconds to pin Fred Schneider, senior, in the lightweight wrestling match
Art Adams, Colorado high school champ, flat, tened Henry Grasmick in just 30 seconds in the heavyweight wrestling.
The score at the end of twelve events stood: juniors, 40; seniors, 20
In the heavyweight boxing, Ralph Francisco, senior, won the decision from Pershing Bachdahl in three rounds •
The lightweight boxing also went three rounds with Wayne Gorton, junior, winning in the third round from Max Taylor. The first two rounds were even.
The senior team, Caroline Kane and Ruth Wilcox, outpointed the juniors 15 to 12 in the girls archery event.
In the girls progressive broad jump the seniors outjumped the juniors . The senior · jumpers were Donna Willman, Mary Jo Henn, Lucille Beers, Jeanne Shader , Wauneta Sharp and Betty Eberline.
In the boys tug-o-war, the juniors pulled the seniors the required distance of ten feet. This event counted 10 points, but the senior girls evened the score when they in turn pulled the junior gir ls ten feet
The lightweight battle royal went to the juniors who won with three men left in the circle
The heavyweight battle royal went to the seniors with one remaining in the circle.
Lined up on opposite ends of the field for the sack rush with the four blocking dummies placed on the fifty-yard line, the two classes put on one of the most spirited events of the day. After a terrific struggle the seniors pushed the sacks farther. The ten points thus earned by the seniors tied the score for the last event.
In the last event of the day the seniors successfully defended their flag for the six-minute time limit and won the olympics. Herbert Cooper sat astride the pole and repulsed the ambitious juniors Henry Lorenz had his hands on the flag ·once, but couldn't get it down. The final score of this eyeblackening, clothes-tearing, skin-bruising and legbreaking affair was 72-60 in the seniors favor.
The traditional enthusiasm for the junior-senior battle was supplemented by the hearty cheers led by Cecil Gore for the winners and William McKenna for the .juniors.
Pioneering spirit has been at work so constantly in the girls division of athletics that now only a football team is lacking to put them on a par with the boys. Even contests in throwing the rolling pin have been introduced to correspond with the discus and javilin throwing and shot putting for the boys.
This development is remarkable, for it was a comparatively short time ago that girls athletics were introduced into school activities.
The advance is even more laudable when the tremendous difficulties girls had to meet in the be• ginning are realized. Sports for girls were not considered a suitable part of a school curriculum until recent years. Physical education for a long period consisted of formal and difficult exercises, which the girls were expected to execute in-doors in conventional gymnasium clothes.
So much progress has been made that now sports have taken the place of the exercises that were of no special benefit and clothes are designed to give the necessary freedom that participation in active sports requires.
Truly, pioneers have smoothed the hard road down which development in girls athletics has come.
Lightning never strikes twice in the same place! But-a basketball team can strike twice and win two round robin tournaments in succession.
For proof (if you're from Missouri) read the folJnwing account:
The junior basketball team, composed of almost the same girls who as sophomores won the interclass tournament from the seniors, were victorious in the meet held at the end of the fall semester thus gather-
ing glory for themselves and their class twice in succession.
Lucille (Rusty) Hofferber, crack forward, and Elaine Linscott accounted for most of the points made.
The seasoned seniors had to be content with second place, but they lost only to the champion juniors. Betty Eberline, forward, scraped in the most points for them.
So many sophomores were out to give the juniors and seniors a run for their money that they had to form two teams. The B division held third place with Betty Heckman as high scorer.
Results of each round in the tourney are as follows:
Sophomore A 10 , Junior 10
Sophomore B 9 , , Senior 4

Sophomore girls took to the water to win their laurels. Captained by Marilyn (Pat) Woods, they captured eighty-six points to win the interclass swimming meet.
Jane Thornton skimmed through the water to plash up thirty points, making herself high scorer on the sophomore team, while Jeanette Mickey thrilled the crowd by swimming three lengths of the pool under water.
The seventy-six points won by the juniors, with Elaine Linscott as captain, put them in second place.
Seniors under leadership of Elaine Vacik, took third place with fifty-one points.
Honorable mention went to Alsa Keller, junior, for her -accumulation of twenty-five points; to Flora Lane, junior, for her exhibition in underwater swimming and to Jerry Cox, for the accumulation of the most points for the senior team.
Foul balls and fair balls, outs and innings, strikes and hits, flies and grounders-all the intricacies are tau ght to the would-be feminine Babe Ruths who register for baseball.
This sport carried the largest registration of all spring athletics with approximately forty girls enrolled. Miss Lillian Story instructed the girls in the technique of the game and late in the semester scheduled an interclass tournament.
"Step, brush-brush, step, step. All right-everybody now--do six of those. Music!"
Miss Virginia Woolfolk came to Lincoln high school just this year, but after six short ~eeks she had fifty-six girls diligently and earnestly taptapping away on the fundamentals.
After-school tap dancing is a new way to earn sports credit and it proved so popular it was necessary to hold four classes each week.
And, oh joy! How proudly feet clicked in regular routines!
The twang of bow strings, the whiz of the arrow as it speeds toward the big, brightly colored target, and the enticing autumn atmosphere combine to make archery one of the most fascinating sports.
For the pre-ba ketball favorite three groups of girls were organized this year by Miss Lillian Story with Mary Jo Henn, Kathryn Kellison, and Elaine Linscott as leaders. Mary Jo's division accumulated the most points in the informal competition between the groups with Elaine Linscott's section taking second place.
Miss Edwinn McConchie, a cadet from the University of Nebraska, helped supervise the spring archery.
Ping-flannel spheres contact taut strings and sail over the net.
That's when Kathryn Kellison, the 1936 tennis champion of Lincoln high school, exhibits her skill. Kathryn became tennis queen when she defeated her competitor, Elaine Linscott.
Tennis enthusiasts, in fall and spring, troop across north field with racquets in hand and determination in eye. The municipal tennis court is their destination where they learn the art of playing tennis under the direction of Miss Virginia Woolfolk and Miss Dorothea Ellinger, the latter a cadet from University of Nebraska.
Just as boys work for athletic letters which signify long training and accomplishment, girls have as their ultimate goal-the winning of a state award.
The accumulation of two thousand points, one thousand of which are to be earned in school, and the remainder to be earned out of school is required for earning the state symbol.
By participating in after school sports girls gain m school" points. By hiking, roller skating, bicycling and horse back riding, a girl can soon earn "out of school" points. Four sets of rules, each involving sixteen weeks of training, are also required.
The girl who can sport a state award may certainly be proud.
A chenille L , next in rank to the state award is acquired by gathering one thousand-two hundred points, one half to be earned "in school" and one half to be earned "out of school." Two sets of training rules are required for this letter.
Although not so much work is necessary to win the chenille letter, it's a good "starter" and a beginner's joy at receiving it is no less than the more advanced athlete's when she gets her state award.

LINCOL JOURNAL
Three sections of colored comics, enough comic sections so that three people can read comics at the same time, is an attractive feature of the Lincoln Sunday J ournal and Star.
Twenty-two leading colored Sunday comics come as a part of the Lincoln Sunday Journal and Star.
Then there are five other sections each Sunday in the Lincoln Sunday Journal and Star.
The Lincoln Sunday Journal and Star has the "l argest circulation per capita of any city in the United States from 87,000 to 110,000 population.' ' It must be a good paper to do that .

Establishing a new nation was a staggering task for the pioneer settlers. The same kind of excellent cooperation and unselfish concern that enabled them to set forth the high ideals of which we are so proud today has made this book possible. The board and staff appreciate the time and talent given generously to the completion of the 1936 Links.
H. C. Mardis, although not responsible for any tangible feature except the message accompanying his picture, has our gratitude for his counsel on matters of policy. He has been a strong fort protecting us from mistakes_.
M. C. Lefler, 0. W. Hackman and Miss OliviJ. Pound gave the book their personal touch also, by writing copy to supplement their pictures We thank them for their kindness in preparing that copy.
With modern pioneering as the theme for this book we have an appropriate opportunity to acknowledge with gratitude our debt to the citizens of Lincoln who have put into tangible form some of the history which surrounds our state. They not only gave Lincoln a lasting memorial to pioneer days but they unwittingly provided us with pictorial atmosphere. The camera club recorded that atmosphere with the photography in the opening section and Elizabeth Lemon and Ruth Leibers wrote the poetry accompanying it.
Under a new method of obtaining snapshots this year the camera club took the place of the usual student photographer and accomplished a nice piece of work, getting a variety of pictures. Robert L. Smith, a member of the club, helped make up the snapshot pages
Division pages and spots, to brighten and enliven the book, were produced by the art department, with Mis Helen Wilson, department head, super ,
vising. Burdette Morton did the lettering on th e cover, division pages and title pages.
For patiently checking names and supplying in , formation necessary in compiling biographies of th e faculty and senior class we thank Miss Edna W illiams, registrar.
Miss Winifred ~-fayhew and Miss Louise Mill e r receive our thanks for submitting poetry written by their English students.
• To Catherine Bullock, Richard Emrich, Avery · Forke, Ruth Fritzler, Helen Hoffmark, Mary Elle n Mayne, Oak Smith, Herbert Stewart, Betty Bennett, Oscar Schleich, Martha Whelan and Edwar d Ryan we are grateful for bits of copy.
As work became heavy and time limited, Beatrice Andrews and Mildred S. Meyer assisted with th e typing.
Clubs did their bit toward making the roa d smooth by efficiently calling members together in our campus studio.
The Advocate cooperat e d by supplying a complete file of papers for reference in making accurat e records.
The success of any book is measured by its financial status. The salesmanship classes from whic h came the Links advertising staff, worked hard t o make this publication successful. John Miller, wit h eighty-six subscriptions won a copy of the book in the sales contest . Leslie Wright and Walter Lak e had a hard-fought struggle for the position of advertising manager. Leslie sold $127 50 worth of spac e but Walter was so close with $12 5. 50 that he wa ~ made assistant.
Here we have recognized only the persons wh o contributed to the book, but the fullest thanks go to the entire school organization for _ its activities which have made the history we have endeavored t chronicle here.
