Comes eight o'clock and faculty members arrive Because teachers of Lincoln high school take keen interest in what students are doing now and will do in the future, their dutie s extend far beyond the classroom. Faculty committee s which work mostly back stage , nevertheless play important roles in directing the high s chool "production "
The professional committee deals with suitable financing of the public schools, makes analyse s of goals, cour ses of study, modern aids in teaching and the problem of making every graduate fit for either university or the world. Since the pinch in tax money and the question, "Who i s to go to university?" have grown acute , the work of this com:Uittee has become more and more important A credit adju s tment committee determines the number of credit
The School Board
At 8: 30 every Tuesday morning eight people meet in the North Administration building at Fifteenth and N streets to solve problems concernin g the Lincoln public schools
This group, the board of education, is a representative body elected by and acting for the people of Lincoln in the governing of the educational system. Through this board, the people of Lincoln keep in clo se touch with one of their mo s t vital intere ts- the public schools. Members determine the policies of the school system, set up the school levy and budget, approve the selection
hours in ca se of que tion The student affairs committee ha s general oversight of student activities and the number of extra, curricular activities a tudent may assume, so that he will maintain a well balanced portion. One committee arranges as semblies, the health committee schedules medical examinations a n d over ees the health program, and the athletic board writes the slate for futur e c o ntests in sports.
Nearly every student in Lincoln high belong s to some club which flourishes under student leadershi p, with a teacher as it s spons o r.

H. C. Mardis
The principal of the school is the guiding influence behind it. Major policies, minute details and responsibility for all that concerns the school, comes to him. It is his duty to see that the mechanism of the school moves on schedule, without difficulties and toward a worthy destination.
H. C. Mardis has not only filled this position capably but has continued to instigate improvements on the system of which he is a member.
In order to acquaint entering students with school activities such as scholarship requirements, club try-outs , citizenship ratings, election to national honor society and other topics of equal importance, Mr. Mardis initiated a series of assemblies for both the pupils and their parients. With the aid of slides, this information was presented to the group in an interesting and educationa I. manner.
An additional honor was conferred upon Mr . Mardis during this semester. He was elected president of the department of superintendents and principals of the Nebraska state teachers association at their annual meeting. The student body congratulates him upon this distinctive honor.
If your stay in Lincoln high school has taught you the "ability to perceive and the capacity to enjoy that which is good" your time and effort have been well spent, and you may count your high school life a success. May your education in these abilities grow with every passing year, wherever you may be.
Our A ·ssistan t Principals
"There is nothing higher and stronger and more wholesome and good for life than some good memory " May your years m Lincoln high school add rich memories to your store.
No individual pupil has been able to escape writing his bit into the record of Lincoln high school.
We are proud of the many students who have set their aim high and accomplished much toward reaching their goal.
T o the extent to which your contribu, tion to the school has been worthwh i le and for its best interests, you will continue to treasure this book as time goes on and you should find in it a large measure of joy and satisfaction.

The tacatto of the last hurrying feet in the marble halls of Lincoln high signi, fies the last minute before the home room tardy bell. Deadly quiet characterizes the halls a few seconds before this final bell. In'side the rooms the sophomores, juniors and seniors alike are settling into their seats to start the school day. It is 8: 20.
Hushed expectancy greets the reading of important notices from the bulletin on Mondays and Thursdays. Then books are opened or pencils poised over paper for a review of the days work
This first fifteen minutes in the school day, the home room period, serves as a medium between the pupil and the happenings at school outside of the classroom. It is here that the student through the person he elects t<! represent him is able
Bulletin of Three Years
As many of the class of 1938 have helped make the announcements in the customary bulletin of Lincoln high, we are now writing one of our own-the one and only complete history of the class of '38.
The explanation of lunch periods; locker combin Jtions and traffic regulations was the substance of that first bulletin to which our class of 1938 lent its ears. Un, accustomed as we were to the new environment, we kept a stiff upper lip and began the first round in our high school careers.
As activity tickets, clubs, teachers and the first social occasion, the ophomore party, dropped into their respec, tive places, our thoughts turned to class politics.
Incoming classes, not being well enough acquainted to elect class officers, were represented by a cabinet formed of junior high civic league presidents. The clas of '38 had Molly Woodward, William Wiley, and Idris Sell as president, secretary and treasurer respectively. Maxine Maddy, Betty Ann Davis, Dorothy Mattley, Morris Weber, Carl Leonard and Don Yates made up the rest of the cabinet.
Everyone knew everybody else, how to get into the Advocate's tatic column, how not to skip a class and whose best girl the one aero s the aisle was by the time our first real class officers were to be elected. The returns of said election disclosed John, better known as Jack, Stewart as president, while Sidney Held, Jane Allen and William Wiley were vice-president, secretary and treasurer respectively.
We also elected John Stewart and Janet Harris to the student council as representatives of the sophomore class.
The second semester is long remembered by the 19 38 cfass for the extra day of vacation experienced when scho~l was closed because of deep snow. (Note to under, classmen: It happens only once every hundred years.)
Each student was beginning to take notice of the announcements of club meetings in the morning bulletin. Those with forensic abilities soon learned that the Forum met on the second and fourth Mondays; the artistically inclined began attending meetings in 129; while future Robert Taylors and Helen Hayes were welcomed into Mimes and Mummers. '
The September of 193 7 we plunged into the job of being juniors. For the heads of this famous class during the first semester we elected Jane Allen, president; John
to voice his opinion on matters of school life nearest to him, for here he li tens to and discusses the reoort of the home room representative meeting , recommends stu, dent council members and recommends and votes for officers. The Advocate is circulated during the Wednesday home room period.
Near the end of the twelve-week , regi , tration is carried on •in this period. The sophomores, aided and advised by their home room teachers and national honor society members, make out tentative six, semester schedules in addition to the regis, tration for the following semesters work.
In this interval from 8: 20 to 8: 3 'i much is accomplished to start each new day on its way to a successful end.

JACKSO FRANKFORTER
A hunting accidem cut hort the life of Jackson Frank, forter, enior. Characterized by his smiling friendlines , he gathered around himself, perhaps unknowingly, a large group of friends whose admiration for him was sincere. His participation in social affair , the quality of his chool work, hi membership in the student council, and in out, ide organizations broadened his acquaintance and in, creased hi genuine interest in others. Like most of u , he aspired to help others in whatever way he might; unlike mo t of u , he succeeded. All in all, he typified to us, hi classmates, those qualities we most admire. To hi memory we dedicate thi space.
S~ewart, vice-president ; Sidney Held, secretary, and John Hu ton, treasurer.
Our quota moved up to ix members in the tudent council and we placed John Stewart, Jane Allen, William Wiley, Betty O'Shea, Sidney Held and Janet Harri in those governmental po ition
On the last lap of our junior year we turned our attention to another set Qf cla s officers and a junior play. In the former, William Wiley took office as presi, dent with John Huston as hi vice-president. Betty Jane Benson was secretary, and Sidney Held, treasurer.
Chill chased themselves up and down our pines while we viewed the murder mystery of 'The 'Thirteenth Chair. Ruth Holland as the spirituali t and Arthur Mason a an lri h detective paced the fast moving plot, turning in performances that hit a new high. They were ably abetted by Evelyn Leavitt and Walter Johnson, the love interest, and the other juniors that were members of the ca t.
Two ubjects of importance came up at thi time, cla color and class song . Jane Allen obliged by writing two extremely good ong and we as a cla selected French blue and grey a our color
The debater ' hard work brought its fruit Trudelle Downer and John Stewart came home with a good many honor while Dorothy A key, Catherine Delano, Howard Bes ire and Stanley Breuer gained recognition.
Our transition from juniors to seniors was po tponed for a week because of poliomyelitis. When we actually became eniors last fall, the first split had to come in our voting. The January seniors elected Edward Schwartz, kopf, president; Florence Moll, vice-president; Robert Smith, secretary, and Howard Riggins, treasurer.
Following in their footsteps the June portion of our cla elected for the first eme ter another football player to clas presidency, Robert Ludwick. William Wiley was vice-pre ident; Harold Osborne, ecretary, and Willard Folsom, treasurer.
These officers presided over a semester packed with memory-making events. There was, for instance, senior color day. Our entire senior clas in blue and grey cap and treamers watched fellow classmates present a pro, gram built around radio celebrities. Among the high pot of that program was the choir under the name of the Paul Taylor Chorus. Sidney Held and Robert Clough im, itated the favorites of the day, Edgar Bergen and Charley MacCarthy.
Then there was the day that the psychologist, Regina We tcott Wieman, made us see the faults on our system of society, with everyone immediately resolving to reform his way of doing.
With the play A Friend Indeed, we, the senior cla s, completely outdid our elve The cast was so excellent that it i hard to give note to any one star. Curtis Gettman breezed through as the hero with Ruth Mc, Millan as the heroine, and Robert Wilcox providing plenty of comedy as the detective.
For one part of the class of '38, high school days were drawing to a clo e. The senior speakers at the January class graduation exerci es were Josephine Gold and Robert Good. The former poke on Who Shall Go to College?, the latter on Zol and the World 'Today.
The mid-winter senior sermon wa delivered · by Dr. Ray E. Hunt on 'Three 'Things Which Are 'True, Or Else?
Beginning the last lap of our journey through high school the remainder of our cla s elected John Hay from the height as a basketball tar to the class presidency. Robert Ludwick took office as vice-pre ident, Cyrus Miller ecretary, while the lone girl officer, Dorothy Askey, became treasurer.
As the end of our high school days drew near, we laid plans for a grand finale.
Aura Lee Dawson and John Stewart were chosen speakers for commencement, the former speaking on 'The Effect of High School Music on Life in Lincoln, the latter on What Stand Shall the Schools 'T ak_e in the Present International C,·isis?
On April 29 we threw stiff formalities to the wind , donned "cottons and cords" and enjoyed the senior party at East Hills Country club.
Riding the merry-go-round and roller skating all came under the heading of fun at Capitol Beach, where we enior frolicked on our annual picnic.
In quiet dignity our class Ii tened to the senior ermon delivered on June 5. Then on June 8 we received our diplomas, and the cla s of 19 38 ended its high chool hi tory.

"United we stand, divided we fall" may be applied to class spirit and cla s sponsors. Neither can stand alone and expect a harmonious outcome.
The class of '38 had excellency plus in it sponsors. Miss A. Blodwen Beynon and Mrs. Fern P Housman led that class successfully through the trials of being sophomores, the tribulations of being juniors, and kept them unsophisticated and unspoiled as seniors.
Without Miss Beynon's generosity, without her winning personality and utmost cooperation, the class and its officers would have become mired in petty difficulties. Her cheery smile brightened the halls and her complete under tanding of each member of the clas and his ac, tions have proved themselves invaluable .
• Mrs. Housman's quiet, efficient ways have won for her the friendship of the entire class. Along every step of the way, from beginning to end, her diplomacy and counsel have been helpful and memorable.
To both the sponsors, the class of 19 38 extends their appreciation. Not only have they helped mould their characters but they have launched them on the road to ma, turity.
Class officers are certain to be the best type of per, on the school has to offer. Personality, the ability to "win friends and influence people" and scholarship are all important characteristics of these elected few. As they typify the class as a whole, it is with particular pains that they are chosen.
The final semester is one filled with many small duties that go into the recipe to make those smooth running programs for the parties and events that play such an important part in the seniors' last high school days. If it weren't for the class officers carrying the brunt of these re ponsibilities the parties, picnics and programs would not run so smoothly
For such positions the members of the January class of 1938 chose three boys and one girl. The president was Edward Schwartzkopf and the vice-president, Florence Molt. Robert Smith was elected to the position of secre, tary and Howard Riggins, treasurer.
Thi was the group that led the January class of '38 to such a creditable finale and that cooperated to the utmost in the interests of their clas

June Senior Class Officers
Not being a cla ss inclined to bragging, and at all times modest, we can not, try as we may, keep from remark, ing that we, the class of '38, have "kept our heads, when all about us others were losing theirs," and by our sensible conduct have at least in part restored the prestige of the group called seniors Each year marked a growth in the right direction and we stand together now, as a class, with both feet firmly placed on the ground. Seriously we look ahead, some of us to jobs, some to training in schools and others to college s Whatever the outcome may be, we hope our three years s pent at Lincoln high have been as much of a benefit to the school as they have been to us.
Like every organization we have had our "unsung heroes" who have cooperated in making school life enjoy, able In this case we are alluding to the various com, mittees that have been 11ppointed from time to time to arrange our parties, picnics and programs.
Helping make the senior color day a succes were the following:
Program Committee- Robert Smith, chairman ; Betty Benson, Florence Moll and Nancy Mauck .
Color Committee - Mary Rosborough, chairman; Wil, liard Folsom and Ruth McMillan
Responsible for the senior party held this spring under the general supervision of Esther Louise Lefler were the following:
Invitation and Ticket Committee- Betty Benson, chair, man ; Marietta Nunnally and Evelyn Leavitt.
Program and Decorations Committee- Curtis Gettman, chairman ; Lois Baker, Ruth Iverson and Max Mertz.
Through the efforts of John Stewart, chairman; Wil, liam Wiley, Ann Beard and Patricia Oxley the senior assembly was an original and memorable occasion
To Robert Ludwick, general chairman, and his com, mittees must go the credit for the organiaztion of the senior picnic
Invitation and Ticket Committee- Mary Rosborough, chairman ; Ruth Holland and Helmina Maul.
Food Committee- Dorothy Askey, chairman; Glenn Rey, nold , Arthur Mason, John Hay and Janice Morrison

The Class of 19 3 9 Off ice rs
With a year of experience behind, and with one full year looming ahead, the class of '39 have hown their mettle, and the graduating class relinquish their enviable position as seniors to them with no misgivings If the ancient axiom is true that "Actions speak louder than words," this junior class has not whispered, but shouted to the school that it is dependable, intelligent and cooperative.
To ucceed, a clas must also be lucky, and by all standards this class has been dealt with gen, erously by Lady Luck her elf. To have only one s ponsor like Miss Lillian Mania, who is ever ready to solve the students' problems, would be con idered an accident never to be repeated, but to have also Mrs. Bernice Tebbetts as the other sponsor is enough to restore even a heretic's faith in humanity. Both have taken an unprece, dented interest in their work and are succe sfully guiding the work of this class.
Becoming restless at finding themselves so many times left out of things, the juniors pro, duced Big Hearted Herbert , a New York comedy hit, which had even greater success when pre,
sented in the Lincoln high auditorium, April 22. The juniors triumphantly acted out to the satis, faction of the most pessimistic critic a play that had pleased a blase Broadway audience, and ingenuity and ability were thus exemplified by this class of '3 9
B ut, as Captain Henry would say, " T hat's only the beginning, folks," because the next world these industrious students conquered was in the field of debate. One of the twenty-five j unior teams entered in the inter-class debate tourna, ment followed the example of two other debaters of their class who had come out victorious the year before as sophomores. T hey also established themselves as journalists; all six managing and news editor of the A d vocate this past semester have been members of the class of '39
Other activities such as Joy night, clubs and all sports, provided juniors with opportunities to show their superiority over their classmates and when they become seniors, it is more than probable that they will maintain t he pace that has been set for them.

The Class of 1940 · O fficers
"To err is human, to forgive divine , " says Pope; so if the eniors seem to underestimate the new ophomore cla s it i taken for granted that they will keep a cool head and forgive and forget However, it is not lauding this cla s of 1940 too much to say that they have been the most level-headed, eager and responsible group that have ever been seen. They go about with an air of willingness to learn that soon makes belittling juniors and eniors feel like intruders.
To spon or an incoming clas takes fortitude. No two better teacher could have been found to fo ter such a group than Mi s Emma Beek, mann and Miss Ruth Hall, who are intelligent, but not pedantic, and who appreciate, as much as student do, a sense of humor That they are always willing to take a joke has immediately endeared them to their students.
Coming in drove , the sophomores proved to be the largest group to assemble at Lincoln high school in the hi tory of the school. The enrollment figures reveal that there are a total of 1,057 students in this class accommodated in 31 home rooms.
A a medium to make new acquaintances, this clas had two sophomore parties o successfully attended and carried through that it is the hope of the sponsors that as junior other uch "get, together " may be held. Since many club provided the entertainment at the e parties, students oon began to join the numerous clubs that were open to them.
The Mime and the Clef club are their own individual , private societies ; sophomores and only -ophomore may belong. A " o Admittance" ign is hung out to inqui itive upperclassmen who wonder why they never availed themselves of the opportunity to join uch organizations when they were eligible.
So far the only real business that ha been transacted by this class beside diligently electing officers was to select the colors. Through a poll of the class members the colors that will reign are blue and white When the January group entered last year, they were given the responsibility of spon oring the spring Open H ouse which they did with noticeable ucces

The Class of 194 1 Cabinet
As only one part of this class has thus far arrived at Lincoln high, it would be impossible and unfair to judge them as a group so early in their high school career
However, "Well begun, is half done," and in thi case that old adage is proved by the fact that Miss Gertrude Jones and Miss Irene Martin will serve as sponsors for this group. Although Miss Jones is a well-known and appreciated fac, ulty member, it wasn't until this year that Miss Martin was introduced to the student body and so it is quite fitting that she sponsor the newe t class in school.
Entertained by the Mimes and Clef club, purely sophomore organizations, at their first festivity on February 16, the class of '41 was by t his means initiated into Lin~oln high life. Under the supervision •of the sophomore cabinet, this party proved an ice-breaking and acquaintance, making social.
Serving as experimental material for a new idea that H . C. Mardis wished to try out, the class of '41 soon learned more than the average senior knows about the school. This was brought
about by a series of lectures' concerning school life by Mr Mardis. If the experiment proves a success, it will become a regular feature on the ophomore class program. Heretofore, the sopho, mores have had to depend upon the trial and error theory to learn about activities of the school and their only information had usually been misinformation given them by lackadaisical students.
The requirements for graduation , the varied curriculums and electives open to sophomores, constituted the main portion of one of Mr. Mardis' addresses. In another talk he illustrated how students that have ability and don't work in high school find that they can't work when they get to university, as exemplified by the fact that at the University of Nebraska 6 3. 5 % of the students from Lincoln high that had been in the lowest fourth of their class in high school still remained in that unenviable position in uni, versity, while 67. 2 % of the Lincoln high school students who were in the upper fourth of their class were till the upper fourth students at college.

•M us ic
Every morning, members of the choir, orchestra, band, girls glee and boys glee go to their respective music classes, and the ultimate result is harmony.
Lincoln high pupils were not the only ones to de, rive benefit from their musical education Out of these many hours of working together came numerous vesper concerts given to the public, appreciation concerts given to junior high children and performances before school clubs and local organizations.
The sixteenth music season was definitely begun when the junior girls glee club and the orchestra presented the ninety-fourth vesper concert. Outstanding numbers sung by the girls glee were Dea.rest Lord Jesus by Bach, A Snow Legend by Clakey Selections used by the orchestra were Choral a.nd Fugue in G Minor by Abert-Bach, and Ba.rca.rolle by Tschaikowsky
The choir members had other things besides presents on their minds when the Christmas season drew near. This was undoubtedly due to the annual Christmas assembly and vesper concert given by the choir which was again one of the most artistic pre entations of the school year.
The audience was inspired by the eighty, ix voices which were combined in the gloriou Ha.lleluja.h Chorus from the Messiah by Handel. The clear soprano voices of Jane Allen and Frances Keefer were heard at the vesper and the a sembly, respectively, in Shepherds Abiding in the Field from Handel's Messiah. Appropriate passages from the scripture were read between number by Aura Lee Dawson and Gail Ferguson An illuminated church window, serving as a background, added a touch of dignity to the performance.
At the January concert, Oscar Bennett, baritone, was the guest soloist of the orchestra. Hi interpretation of Tu Lo Soi , Seventeenth century Italian, by Torelli; Tra.ffi'c, a serious ballad of modern civilization by Ridgway, and La.nd Uv Degra.da.shun , negro spiritual by MacGimsey, were especially well received.
The boys glee club and the Lincoln high school band appeared in the February ·vesper In Tom, T 01:1- the Piper ' s Son sung by the boys glee, the flute accompamment wa played by Joan Green.
As a climax to the vesper season, the choir and orchestra participated in the la t concert in March. The choir's interpretation of Alleluja.h! Christ Is Risen by Kopolyoff and Da.r~ Water by James in which the baritone solo was sung by Robert Wittstruck , w as especially note, worthy .

C e rtain responsibilities are given to him, which aid in the develop, ment of his own initiative.
In addition, the classroom trains the student to work favorably and efficiently· with others Friendships are made that will be an aid and plea s ure in later life
The daily discussions, the recitation periods, the constant as ociat1on with others of his age all enable him to respect the opinions of others, to develop a sur, ance and self-confidence.
Classes
Because of the illness of Mr. Nevin, Don Lentz, University of Nebraska Symphony director, ably con, ducted the orchestra in Nordic Symphony by Hansen, Pre, lude in G Minor by Rachmaninoff and Oberon by von Weber in which the cello solo was played by Clarence Molzer
The guest artist for the concert was Ruth Sibley, cellist, who displayed admirable technique and tone quality in Symphonic Variations Opus 23 by Boellmann.
Lois Baker, Frances Keefer, Maxine Maddy, Ardith Hackman, Jeannette Mickey, Gail Ferguson, Charlotte Dudley and Marietta Nunnally made up the girls octet. This group contributed much to the success of the music season by their fine ensemble work. They sang for the Wooden Spoon club at the Country club, for the School of Commerce commencement, Knife and Fork club, the League of the Hard of Hearing, the industrial arts teachers association and for many high school functions.
Other small groups were the boys quartet composed of Jack Donovan, Harold Osborn, Orval Pederson and Lynn Meyers and the brass quartet composed by Joseph Damm, Lewis Day, Howard Robinson and Dayton Wiley
DISTRICT MUSIC CONTEST
A delegation of twenty-three musicians chosen by competitive try-outs in March to represent Lincoln high school went to Geneva for the district music contest held April 1 and 2 to secure twelve superior ratings out of a possible thirteen.
Three contestants- Mildred Claire Freadrich, soprano; Hazelmae Ogle, second soprano, and Jack Anderson, baritone, were scored highly superior. Other contestants rated as superior were Gail Ferguson, alto; Jack Donovan, tenor; Alan Ball, bass ; Clarence Molzer, cello ; John Welch, clari, net ; Lewis Day, trumpet, and Gavin Pemberton, drums.
The girls octet and the boys quartet, the only small groups entered, also were considered superior by the judges.
For the first time in history an opportunity to display their talents merely for entertainment instead of vying for ratings wa afforded May 14 in Omaha when the best musicians from five states including many from Lincoln high chool a sembled.

Orchestra
Once again the orchestra and band welcomed back as their director, Bernard Nevin, who had spent a semester of study at Northwestern Uni, versity. During that time he wrote a successful composition, Fantasie , which was played by the Lincoln Symphony orchestra and used in the Lincoln high orchestra repertoire Appreciation concerts at Whittier, Everett and Irving junior highs were _ given the first semester.
Band
Forty-four enthusiastic band members sus, tained the proper amount of "vim, vigor and vitality" needed to carry the Red and Black football and basketball teams to state victories. Precision timing by drum majors, James Brownson and Santo Arrigo, and Sheldon Me, comber, captain, made the drilling at football games and in the armistice parade a treat to behold.

LITERATURE
In the SCHOLASTIC QUILL AND SCROLL awards contest William Wiley this year won first in Nebraska and honor, able mention nationally in the column's division. The QuILL AND SCROLL contest, one of the most popular liter, ary conte ts in Lincoln high school, is entered by students every year. Maxine Woodward was rated fourth in the North Central States QUILL AND SCROLL EDITORIAL contest and Bruce Worthington received honorable mention in the QUILL AND SCROLL current news contest this year; Cecil Gore and Frank Hallgren in 1936 brought honor to themselves and the school when they each won gold keys for creative writing. The same year, Arthur Hill and Je an Frey received honorable mention in the news judgment division and copy reading contest, respectively; and first places in the Nebraska division were won by Selma Hill in news writing, Edwardene Phillips in column writing and Burdette Morton in headline writing.
It is with a feeling of particular pride that the school witnesses publications awards this year. The ADVOCATE , weekly newspaper, won for the first time in its history the highest rating the National Scholastic Press associa, tion awards when it was ranked a Pacemaker among high school newspapers of the Upited States. It has received all, American rating every other year but one since 1926. In 19 3 5, the ADVOCATE received the American Education week award, in school journalism, from the JOURNAL OF NATIONAL EDUCATION and the STUDENT LEADER in recog, nition of a notable contribution to education In 19 31 and 1933 the ADVOCATE received the silver cup in division A and first place in 19 32.
THE LINKS , Lincoln high yearbook, has received two all, American ratings and four first class ratings from the National Scholastic Press association since 1930.
MUSIC
The fine musical record of Lincoln high school talent make a deep feeling of satisfaction steal over the as, semblage. Thirteen uperior ratings were won at Geneva this year.
Although it was hoped in 1924 to have annually a state music contest, it was decided this year to discon, tinue it, because of cost and unwieldiness of such a large contest. This year the contest was divided into seven smaller district contests, which are in many respects like the state contest.
At the national regional contest held in Omaha May 13, Mildred Claire Freadrich was rated highly superior, a special honor given only to a few. Jack Donovan, tenor, was rated superior.

When the clock on the wall strikes two, approximately forty,five journalistic, ally minded pupils put away their school texts and begin work on the three school publication s, namely the Link , the Ad, vacate and the Scribe. And work does not end at 3: 10, but continues on into the early evening so that the three pub, lication s will come up to the standard which has made them outstanding in chool life in recent years.
Produced bv a staff selected from th e writers club: the Scribe, now in its eighth consecutive year, was released to th e public March 30. Work on the Scribe la ts from the middle of the first emes, ter into half of the concluding term.

Mary Rosborough served as editor and Catherine Deurmyer , as ociate editor. The cover design, done in a modernistic manner which continue throughout the book, was created by Betty Jane Mallat. There has been some discussion as to retaining the 19 38 Scribe cover in its entirety as the permanent cover for futur~ issues of this book because of its di , tinctiveness. Inside ill:.istrations were by Betty Jeanne Spalding.
Robert Weil served as the Scribe business mana ger. Laurel Morrison was the copy reader and Blanche Taber and Dorothy Clark did the typewriting

Entirely new and designed to catch the eye are the new division beet s, which feature running comments, and the new school calendar illustrated for the first time in Links history by actual snapshots
A generous space for the underclassmen section has been an advancement made by this years staff which included several junior members. Endeavoring to be as rep, resentative as po sible, not only in pictures, but also in copy, the 1938 Links is a living memorial to the class of
Links
'38, to the school at large and to the faculty and admin, istrative staff.
In years to come it i the hope of the staff that the reader will leaf through his yellowed year book with a feeling of pride and that each page will awaken in him memories of the happiest days of his life-his school days.
On the pages of this book are recorded the activities, the classes, the music, the drama , the sports, the humor, the faculty-in fact every phase that helped make Lincoln high the most pleasant place in the world. The staff has enjoyed working one period a day and at the cns1s many hours after school on a book that will bring sa tisfaction to its readers.

At 2: 37 of a Wednesday afternoon the governmental affairs of Lincoln high are discussed in strict parliamentary fa hion at the tudent council meeting This all-student body believes that Lincoln high can be only as strong as its weakest "Link," and so their purpose in meeting weekly is to strengthen the school spirit, to beautify the campus and to cooperate with the faculty at all times
If the home room representatives are to be compared to the house of repre, sentatives in Congress, the student council may assuredly be called the Senate No agitation is under way for a unicameral governing body at Lincoln high becau se the council serves the school in so many capacitie The council must be re s pon , sible to the school at large . Although kept busy with school work , the council found

After Mrs . Regina V..1estcott Wieman, famed author and psychologist, in a series of talks before the enior cla s sugge ~ed class parties, the council ponsored several senior class dances .
This year as in previou years the council's course was not easy. However, Jane Allen , president the first semester, and John St e wart, head pilot the second term, steered the council safely through it crui e

Home Room Representatives
Modeled somewhat after the house of rep, resentatives in the United States Congress, the home room representatives are a body truly "of the people, for the people and by the people."
They are "of the student body" since they are elected by each and every home room.
They are "by the student body" because they are directly responsible to the stuclents and
HOME ROOM REPRESENTATIVES
rely upon them for suggestions and help upon difficult problems.
That they are "for the students" is shown by the zeal with which they supervise elections, sell Advocates, collect class dues and money for activity tickets.
Much of the actual work in advertising the activity ticket, the Advocate, plays, clubs, is done by members of this organization.

3: 10-With the dismi sal bell the doors swing open and hundred of pupils pour out into the hall . A determined look is on their faces. Where are they going?
Lockers bang noisily, students have 'their arms loaded with books and teach, ers begin preparing for conferences. Ac, tivity fills the atmosphere. Pupils every, where!-Going home?-A few, but many are hurrying to be on time at their club meetings.
Clubs form an integral part of the high school !ife, and those few who fail to join are indeed missing half the fun and excitement of school. There are athletic clubs, music societies, dramatic or, ganizations, hobby clubs-in fact any ac, tivity that a student might be interested in is offered.
Friendships ,ii-re made, recreation fur, nished and new interests founded in these well-planned and supervised organization Through this means many a hidden talent
is brought to light and a heretofore unheard-of shy junior may be presented at the next assembly as an orator of worth.
The debate, dramatic and musical societies help timid souls to forget tage fright and to express themselves natur, ally. High-pitched enthusiasm is stirred by the hobby club A better opportunity for making friends comes to those be, longing to either the Girl Re serves or the Hi -Y, and on down the line examples may be quoted as to how clubs benefit students.
Interested facult, members donate their time to ponsor the numerous organizations. They chaperon club parties, advise and act a general counselors to the club officers.
Because of their annual schedule of parties, picnics and meetings, these groups deserve a place in the bill of fare of every student.
January National Honor Society
To rate scholastically in the upper third of the class is one thing, but to have also excelled in school leader, ship is another. Most of those who have been elected to membership in the national honor society have also shown willingness and capability for some special service to the school.
•
The small gold insignia is symbolic of national honor society members. A student who wears one may well be proud of this symbol of co-operation, intelligence, upright, ness of character, citizenship, initiative and leadership.
The members of this society assist with registration in the sophomore home rooms, help teachers who are new to the building and also supervise the elections for student council members in the spring.
If statistics mean anything, Lincoln high girls may indeed hold up their heads and with a righteous pride look down upon their contemporary males. There has been a total of 666 girls as com pared to 37 3 boys who have been elected to membership at Lincoln high since the club's installation.
The first semester of this school year, Ruth Iverson served as president and Mary Elizabeth Green as secretary, treasurer There was no vice-president because John Stewart who was elected carried too many extra-curricular activity points. William Wiley became president the second semester. Richard Arnold acted as vice-president and Mary Louise Woodward was secretary-treasurer.

National Honor Society
With approximately two thousand chapters of the national honor society in the United States, several in the Philippine Islands, the Hawaiian Islands and Porto Rico, and even one in the American school in Shanghai, China, the society has become truly national in its scope.
That it is a progressive ociety is shown by the increasing number of chapters that are being organized every year At the time Lincoln
NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
high became a member in 1927, there were only 642 chapters, but today that number has been more than tripled.
It is to Miss Margaret Proctor, Miss Mary Bardwell and Miss Carrie Roberts, the sponsors, that the credit must go for the organization of the Lincoln high school chapter whose watchword is thoughtfulness.

Girl
"Finding the World Through Friends" was the theme used this year at all the Girl Reserves meetings. Speakers presented many and varied methods of making friends and of helping others to make them. The Pathfinder, their mimeo, graphed newspaper, kept the members in touch with all club news.
There is nothing exclusive or formal about the Girl Reserves. Open to any and all girls in Lincoln high, it benefits are now reaped by the
Reserves

Commercial Club
The commercial club serves its members in a dual capacity. • Through displays, demonstra, tions and contacts with representatives of the business world, the club aims to keep in touch with the latest in business methods and appli, ances. Informal gatherings at the close of every other meeting add a social touch.
The dramatization of the Inventiq_n of the 'Typewriter, coupled with a display of machines

both modern and old, provided one of the most valuable meetings of the year.
To be eligible for membership one must be carrying at least one commercial subject.

Orpheons
Only future Carusos, Schumann-Heincks and Kreislers compose the music society known as the Orpheons, because the membership is limited to those juniors and seniors deemed by the try-out judges to be particularly talented in music.
Orpheus, the legendary Thracian musician who invented the lyre, would be proud of hi club namesake if perchance he came to life to
ORPHEONS
pay them a VlSlt. This famous musician of longago would learn throu h member's reports at one meeting who Beethoven, Bach and Mozart were, but at the next meeting he might become puzzled but amused to learn about "jazz," "swing" and popular music. Orpheus would soon understand that although there is "nothing new under the sun," the Orpheons could give old ideas new interpretation

Mummers
Although their annual play this year was Scotch, Annie Laurie , the Mummers, junior and senior dramatic club, were more than generous with the proceeds , as they turned them over to the student activity fund As no regular classes in drama are offered in the Lincoln high curricu, lum, thi s club is one of the most popular with the students.
MUMMERS
The club was bristling with activity this year in view of the fact that their play was the first major production of the season, that their Joy night act was judged by many as the most clever and their annual assembly acclaimed as truly dramatic. However, besides these oppor, tunities to act, the Mummers members heard inspired talks from experienced dramatists

In a beautiful rustic club building of its own the Hi-Y stresses the necessity of getting along with other people and of developing character.
Every Tuesday evening the members, all boys, meet at the Hi-Y building for dinner. Fol, lowing this some Lincoln business man, traveler or athlete leads an informal discussion of a sub, ject related to teen-age interests.
Hi--Y
Talks, discussion groups, two banquets and a party based on the theme, "How shall we conquer the New World?" were held this spring with the Hi, Y and Girl Reserves clubs of Lincoln and vicinity participating.

With the publication of the Scribe, the writers club climaxes its year's activities.

Mimes
By having their own dramatic organization, the sophomores feel themselves a select and privileged group and try to live up to their name, the Mimes. Originally the word meant a kind of play, but later it has been adopted to mean any actor.
Fundamentals of dramatic art are learned and practical experience in all line of drama is gained by Mimes members.

Chemistry Club
Anton Lavoisier, father of modern chem, istry, would be bewildered at the progress made in his science, but he would have little difficulty in joining Lincoln high 's chemistry club. By attending three meetings, which consist of talks and demonstrations by scientific experts, and paying six sandwiches as dues, he would find himself a full-fledged member taking part in discussion and helping in experiments.

The Coaching Staff
Number one on our coaching staff hit parade is Coach R alph Beechner, head football and basketball mentor, wh ose unquestioned prestige and brilliant successes at, t a i n ed in the realm of coaching merited his appointment tw o seasons ago Judging from the highly satisfactory r ecords achieved by the football and basketball teams un d er his tutelage and his unustial popularity with the st u d ent body an d athletes, we will find him continuing t he role of Big Chief Victory Giver at Lincoln high.
On the second pedestal in the hall of coaching fame we find the inimitable Frank Mueller, coach of baseball, firs t team backfield coach and coach of sophomore basket, ball. From his store of well-coached and eager players,
The clean, good-natured sportsman hip and carefree attitude characteristic of Lincoln high chool athletes is a manife t reflection of the wholesome character of their coache , who exert such a la tin~ influence for fair play in the boys on the athletic field that it usually continues to have its effect on them in their business transactions and social contacts through the durati o n o f their lives
The superio r ity and unusual str~ngth of Lincoln high chool in every activity on the athletic curriculum gives her the 11ndisputed position of first place in Ne, braska high school athletics. The school is not only in the top rank in the major sports such a football, basketball and track, but al o receives blue ribbon hon, ors in such minor ports as golf, tenni , ba seball and swimming
boys are continually being taken to fill empty places on the first teams. The record of the econd teams are really impressive when one consider the fact that they compete for the most part with first team of other schools.
"Cy" Yordy, who held the po ition of assistant foot, ball, basketball and track coach at Alliance, Nebraska, last year, assumed with ease the responsibilities of head track, reserve football and basketball coach.

Football
Football at Lincoln high means a full oval of athletes and spectators supplemented by the Red and Black Pep, pers, the band and the cheerleaders, all of whom create an atmosphere of loyal support to the team on the field and the coach and players on the sidelines.
Some of the elements necessary to make a championship football team are spirited school support, wise and tactful coaching and an eager and well-trained team. A11 of these have combined this year to give the Lincoln high school football team an imposing record of eight victories and one scoreless tie. The Red and Black pigskin hooters scored 111 points to 12 for their opponents.
Lincoln high and Scottsbluff, a fine team with an im, pressive record, were honored as co-champions of Ne, braska.
Six of the Links gridmen won places on the Missouri Va1ley honor roll. They were Sidney Held, end, who received this honor last year also; Howard Debus, full, back, the only sophomore thus honored; Victor Schleich, tackle, who teamed with the other tackle, Willard Bunker, to form an impassable barrier to opposing backs; Ed Schwartzkopf, guard, who was either found on the ball or very near to it in a pile-up, and Robert Sauer, half, back, who was changed from fullback to halfback, in which position he was the big gun on offense.
The Links juggernauts won their first victory over Crete on September 24 by two touchdowns, which came in the fourth quarter. The Links were in pay territory eleven times but were repulsed until a pass by Hansen intended for Held was blocked. The pass was taken by Sauer
before it touched the ground and it was carried to the one-yard stripe. On the next play Sauer broke into the scoring column. Schneiber furnished the other score with a 27,yard scamper and on the next play took a 10,yard off ,tackle gallop to cross the goal.
The Links first team took the reserves int~ camp by a score of 26,6 October 1 in the Lincoln high school oval. The first team score by Myers came rather late in the second quarter on a 30,yard off-tackle run. Me::h, eny scored first in the third quarter, followed by o:1e by Sauer, with Held making both place kicks. The reserves broke a precedent in the fourth quarter when a first team punt was blocked by Ogden. Page recovered over the goal for a score. Backman blocked a reserves punt and Debus brought another first team score.
Abraham Lincoln of Council Bluffs, Iowa, was blank~d 20,0 by the powerful Lincolnites in the oval October 9. Held started the fireworks in the &econd quarter by blocking a punt which gave Lincoln possession of the ball on the Bluffs 29-yard · line. The combined efforts of Myers, Sauer and Hansen brought it to the 1-yard line, which was crossed by Sauer for score number one. Held converted successfully for the extra point.
Ennen recovered a fumble in the third quarter to make possible the touchdown by Hansen. Held\, kick was wide. Another blocked punt by Held was recoYered and carried to the 20-yard stripe by Schleich. A pa!-s from Han;;en to Sauer brought the ball to the five; Mus, sen picked up a yard and Hansen tossed one to Held for the last score. The kick by Held was good.

Football
October 16 wa the date of the Links calendar which was not crossed off with a red pencil but with a mass of black mud, for that is the date the L. H. S. football bruisers were held to a scoreless tie on a muddy, rain, soaked field at Sioux City, Iowa, by the crack Sioux City East outfit.
A punting duel between Held of Lincoln and Trasowech of East was the feature of the game. East penetrated to within a half yard of the Links' marker but was re, pulsed and Held kicked out of danger.
A touchdown and place kick in the first minute of play spelled victory for the Red and Black gridmen in their game with Fall City, October 22, in the oval. The final score of 7-6 was due to Schwartzkopf's block, ing of the extra point place kick after Falls City had scored in the fourth quarter.
The game was a fast, hard-fought struggle all the way with a serious scoring threat provided by Lincoln in the third quarter, where they camped on the Fa:Is City 9-yard line. The threat ended with two incompleted pas es into the end zone.
The Links overcame Beatrice by a score of 6-0 at Beatrice October 2 7. The victory was one of those which people occasionally read about but very rarely see, the Links winning by a pass from Debus to Held with but thirty-five seconds remaining to play.
All of the play wa held in the Beatrice territory, the Orange and Black never advancing beyond mid, field. Lincoln missed a good chance to score in the ec, ond quarter when they had pos ession of the ball on the Beatrice 2-yard marker with four downs to make a score rn. But the half ended, thus dissolving that chance.
Omaha Tech was bounced 27-0 in its own stadium on November 6. A powerful offense was evident as Sauer scored twice and Myers and Hansen each garnered one score. The first half was scoreless because of the fre, quent fumbles. Ludwick recovered a Tech fumble on the kickoff in the second half which the Links, under the drives of Sauer, Myer~ and Metheny, brought to the 9-yard marker for a first down, from which point Sauer scored on a fourth 'down plunge. Held's place kick was good.
Sauer scored again in the same period, but Reid's try for point was wide. With three minutes left in the game, Sauer flipped a 23,yard pass to King on the 80-yard stripe. Myers ran around end to score on the next play. Held ran around end for the extra point.
Tech tried a sleeper pass after the kickoff, but Hansen intercepted it and sprinted 58 yards for the final score. The extra point was converted by King.
The Beechner-coached team added another victory to her now sagging belt of scalped football teams when it defeated Omaha Central 6-0 in the oval. Central, an arch rival of long standing, had been undefeated so far and was held to three first down in this annual tilt.
The lone tally came in the second quarter as a result of Sauer's 27-yard heave to Debus on the Central 4-yard line. Sauer gathered a yard through the line and Debus threw two incompl~te passes into the end zone. Central took the pig's contribution to athletics on their own twenty. Schleich laid Hall of Central for a 6-yard loss and Myers returned the Central punt to the Omaha forty-two. Debus and Sauer garnered thirteen yards in two play and Metheny picked up fourteen yard around

end. Two plunges and a penalty for offside placed the abused piece of pork bark on the 2-yard line and on the third down Debus sliced through for the tally Held's try for extra point went wide.
The Link's 7-0 victory over Grand Island in the oval November 19 was a fitting climax to a great season and a tribute to a great team. The first two and a half quarters were f ea tu red by a· punting duel between Held of Lincoln and Huffman of the Third City crew
Towards the end of the third quarter Myers returned a Grand Island punt seventeen yards to the Grand Island 17-yard line. From this point Debus threw a pass to Held which was knocked down. He then threw to Lud, wick, who outsped Kirkpatrick to the goal. Held con, verted for the extra point.
In the fading minutes of the game, Grand Island at, tempted many passes, but all were in vain against the tight defense of the Red and Black cleat-shoes.

Track
Lincoln high school has alway s been a big headache to the other chools when the track season approaches. That is, if the other schools had not already acquired inflamed craniums from the football, basketball or swimmtng seasons.
The Links trackmen are usually a serious threat when the state meet rolls around, but this year fell to fifth place in the class A competition.
Coach John "Cy" Yordy has successfully conducted a ready, willing and able team through an enviable season
The spiked shoe clan unofficially opened the season with the interclass meet, which the seniors, led by Vic Schleich, won by a tally of 42 to the juniors' 12 and the sophomores' 9.
That well-known bacon was hungrily captured by the fast-stepping Red and Black 880,yard relay team, composed of Brill, Dorsey, Wiley and Mills, at the annual Hastings relays .
The Links cinder kickers took complete charge of the scoring at the York invitational meet. They won by a count of 50¾ points with the nearest rival, Grand Island, tallying 2~¼ counters
Vic Schleich, the Hercules of the squad, took firsts in shot and discus, and Bob Ludwick, the Sir Malcolm Campbell of the sprint men, won the 100 and 220 dashes.
Fast-stepping Gordon Olson took the meet record for the 880-yard run in his long, smooth stride as he set up a new record of 2:08 : 9 Howard Debus won the javelin with a heave of · 16 5 feet, 5 inches
The Red and Black followers of the cinder path again won the four-state M,J,N,K meet at Peru The score of 45 points held a large margin as Lincoln easily defended its title.
Vic Schleich got first with a heave of 50 feet, 5 inches in the shot and Bob Francisco, the Cunningham of Lin, coln high, set a meet record of 4: 44 in the mile event. Bob Ludwick came through with a first in the 100-yard
dash. Howard Debu s snared blue ribbon honor s in the javelin event with a throw of 171 feet , 4 inches.
The quartet composed of Wiley, Dorsey , Brill and Ludwick won the 880,yard relay in 1 :36 7.
Valuable points were brought in by Ennen, Mussen, Schneiber, Olson and Mills
ST A TE TOURNAMENT
Although undefeated in five invitational meets and pre-season favorites to cop the coveted state track crown, the Lincoln high school track squad failed to live up to expectations and finished in fifth place with 13 points, 10½ points behind the pace-setting Scottsbluff crew
The Links captured the prep division of the Hastings relays and the next week took first honor at the York college invitational meet. The M,J,N-K meet at Peru was also bagged by the Red and Black as Bob Francisco, Lincoln harrier, set a new record for the mile run The last week before the state meet the capital city squad pulled an iron-man stunt by taking two meets in as many days. The first was the Southeastern Nebraska meet, the other the important Hastings college invitational, second only to the state soiree.
Lincoln point winners in the state meet were Robert Ludwick with a third in the 100,yard dash and fourth in the 220; Bob Francisco, fourth in the mile; Albert Mussen, tie for first in the high jump; a second by Vic Schleich in the shot put, and Howard Debus third in the javelin
Other outstanding members of the cinder squad were William Wiley and Frank Brill in the dashes, Junior Ennen in the hurdles and pole vault, Ed Dorsey and Keith Mills, 440, and Lawrence Schneiber and Gordon Olson in the 880. Among the field contenders were John May, broad jumper, and Bob Jordan in the high jump

Basketb a ll
The Links had a superb basketball season, climaxed by the superlative accomplishment of annexing the title of state basketball champions for 1938.
The season opened with a 3 3-28 victory over Omaha Central at the first city. The Red and Black quintet, led by John Hay, started an offensive drive after the half.
An extra period of play spelled def eat for the Links basketeers in their game with •Omaha South at the Whittier gymnasium Lincoln led until the last three minutes of play when South in the three minutes of extra play hit on all cylinders and won the game 33-27.
As consolation for their defeat bv South, the Links downed Grand Island 43-28 in a spiiited game at Grand Island. A second period rally by the Hastings Tigers put them in the lead which they maintained to defeat Lincoln 3 3-26 in the Hastings gymnasium.
A 29-27 defeat of Omaha Technical high put Lincoln in top place of the Missouri Valley conference race. The scorching hot pace set by Johnny Hay and the Links was too much for Sioux City East, who surrendered 37-29 on the Whittier maples.
Wild passes and clumsiness featured Lincoln's 27-16 victory over York at the Whittier gymnasium. Both teams were sluggish.
Defeated by Sioux City Central 27-20, the Lincolnites lo t all hope of winning the Missouri Valley championship. The Beechner boys led the first half, but were snowed under by the sparkling counter-offensive of the Maroons in the second half.
Beatrice couldn't keep up with the Linksmen after the half and a last period Lincoln scoring spree f ea tu red the game which ended 35'-23.
Rallying in the last period of defeat, Lincoln 2 5'-24, Omaha Tech turned on enough offensive juice and re, ceived enough free throws to take the lead after trailing the Red and Black basketeers for the three periods.
Lack of offensive powers is the phrase that spelled de, feat for Lincoln at the hands of the Jackson high Car, dinals 16-21 at the University coliseum.
The Links tossers edged put the Fremont five 31-24 in a game which carried a lot of thrills for the crowd and packed the gym at Whittier junior high school.
In the regional tournament, the preliminary to the state tournament, the Beechnerites began the first round with a lop-sided victory over Havelock 46-13. The second victory for Lincoln in the regional came when they cleaned house 62-26 with Ashland.
The Links had already qualified to play in the state tournament by their wins over Havelock and Ashland. But "revenge is weet." They went out of their/ way to win the district championship by defeating Jackson high 18-1 5' in a thrilling game, showing their impenetrable defense complemented with formidable offense.
STATE TOURNAMENT
Plattsmouth was the first to fall from the tourney lists at the hands of a consistent, dark horse Lincoln high quintet 47-28.
Under the hard and attentive play of the Red and Black, Fremont next succt1mbed to the tune of 36-20.
A brilliant last period rally brought victory for the Linksmen over the powerful Creighton Prep crew in the semi-finals of the state tourney, Creighton led until the last three minutes of play, when a rally ended the game 28-24.
Led by Nick Francis, who potted ten counters in the last period, the dark horse Lincoln five forced their way past a hard fighting Ainsworth team 2 4-18 to don the honor of state high school champions.
John Hay and Albert Mussen received the honor of being picked for the Missouri Valley all-star basketball team.

Second Team Basket
The seconds play the first teams of most of the other schools and often show up superbly against this competition.
Their season opened, however, with a defeat at the hands of College View 13-7.
The seconds came into the limelight to def eat Hickman 34-20, but on the miniature "Shoptown" courts the Red and Black seconds were unable to find their range and were defeated 31- 11 by a Havelock crew.
Bethany's last quarter rally eked out a close 24-23 win over the second team as Rice led the Lincoln scorers . They next took the Lincoln sophomores into camp by a 3 5-26 score.
The Red and Black seconds next journeyed to Eagle to hang a 36-29 defeat on the Eagle crew. A lop-sided 3 9-1 5 score was the result of the Lincoln and Crete second team encounter, with the Lincoln seconds on the winning side of the score column. Two games with the Teachers college team ended with the second team adding two more victories to its iist. The first battle was 37-18; the second, 33-9
An overwhelming 39-19 victory was the fruit of Lincoln's second team trip to Beatrice. They downed the Orange and Black subs without mercy, but the Waverly quintet spelled def eat for the Red and Black seconds, who were on the short end of the 44- 28 score.
The second team resumed their winning as they outmaneuvered the Jackson second team 24-21 in a thrilling fourth quarter. •
Williams and Rice led the Red and Black in scoring a 26-22 victory over the Cathedral Bluebirds on the Whittier maples.
A fitting finale for a superior season was the second team's victory over the Bennet cagers 36-25 in which Lincoln led all the way
The seconds scored a total of 407 to their opponents' 316 and won ten out of fourteen games played.
Baseball
Baseball at Lincoln high school is a sport which alway has been and, it is safe to say, always will be a popular drawing card. This sport often leads its enthusiasts on after they leave school and several former Links are now earning a living by playing professional baseball.
Coach Frank Mueller deserves high praise for his decidedly successful manakement of a team whose victories and fine play denote the amount of work, play and persistence willingly and usually facetiously put forth by this dictator of the diamond.
The Red and Black nine traveled to Omaha for the season's opener with Omaha South, which the Omahans won 6-5 The score was 5-5 in the seventh inning and the game went two more innings before an unfortunate error let the winning run slip by.
The Linkers forcefully opened the home season with a 10-0 win over a hard-working Davey nine. The entire Mueller repertoire saw action as Dean Blythe batted out a home nm Blum was the winning pitcher.
The Red and Black bat swingers journeyed to the number one city of the "white spot" state to be barely edged out by the Omaha Central nine with a 3-2 score.
The Omaha nine was trailing the Mueller squad 2-0 at the end of the fifth inning, but came from the rear in the sixth inning to get three runs from Keith Baltzer of Omaha. who had relieved his teammate, Ossino, at the close of the fifth to raise the score 3-2 for the Centralians.
The Links tallies both came in the second on a single by Dale Blythe and a hit into the right field by Gaylan Glass.
Glass held the Omahans down to six safeties and Baltzer of the Central club held nine out of ten Lincoln batters who faced him to no hits.

A white-clad starter pulls the trigger of his starting gun and four swimmers imultaneously slap the water in a racing dive which drenches the nearby fans.
Swimming has been an e tablished sport at Lincoln high school for many years, and has gradually become more popular. This year the Red and Black water push, ers, ably piloted by the coach, Joe Toman, piled up an impressive record of six c<:msecutive victories and one lone def eat.
The season opened with a 44, 31 victory over Coach Tommie Leeke's Y. M. C. A. splashers at the Central "Y" pool February 11. Two pool records were broken. The 300,yard medly mark was replaced with the time of 3: 26. 3 by Le Oldfield, Harold O born and Bill Edwards. The second record of 5: S' 4.8 was set up in the 440,yard free style by Don Hilgert, who also won the 220,yard breast stroke. Oldfield took the 1 S'Q,yard back stroke and Bill Hutton cal?tured the diving events.
The Red and Black paddlers journeyed to Beatrice to slap an overwhelming S'S', 11 def eat on the Orange and Black swimmer Lincoln won every event and gathered up all but two seconds.
The third consecutive victory came when the Links mermen motored to Omaha to break Omaha Technical high 's hopes for an undefeated season by a score of 39-27.
The crack 200,yard relay team composed of Fred Swi, hart, Don Hilgert, John Edwards and Bill Edwards broke the existing state record by more than two seconds, swim, ming the distance in 1 : 4 S'. 2.
The first home meet and fourth unbroken victory was gained at the expense of Beatrice, who sank beneath the weight of a S'S', 10 score administered them in the Red and Black pool. The Links again selfishly monopolized all the first and most of the second places.
The powerful Omaha Tech crew was again quelched by a 42,24 count at the Lincoln pool March 4. Les Oldfield set a new pool record of 1 :09. S' for the 100,yard back stroke.
The sixth straight victory of the season was won in the high school pool in the return meet with the Lincoln Y. M. C. A. The score was 46-20 as the Links mermen captured every event but the 220,yard free style. This was won by the invincible Burton Amgwert, a former Links and present holder of national, state and city records. Amgwert clipped more than ten second off the pool record held by Don Hilgert. Amgwert's time was 2:24.3.
Saturday, March 12, was a day to be remembered by the team as a blotch on the clean record of six un, broken victories. For that is the fateful day the Links mermen went to Omaha for the state swimming cham, pionship, held at the Omaha Technical pool. Truth will come out; so these are the embarrassing scores. Omaha Technical high school won the 1938 state championship with 7 3 points. Lincoln high school placed second with 59 points and Beatrice placed third with 13 points.
In the S'Q,yard free style George Crancer placed sec, ond and Toho Edwards came in fourth. Harold Osborn warn a beautiful race and made a valiant attempt to win, but was forced to take second with Bill Lofink taking fifth. The 220-yard free style wa again won by Don Hilgert, who is the state champion for the second time. Fred Swihart finished third in the 220. Les Old, field also repeated as state champion when he won the 100,yard back stroke. Charles Knie placed fifth in this event. Bill Edwards won the 100,yard free style to become tate champion.
High point man for the season was Don Hilgert, a junior, with 48 points, and closely followed by Les Old, field, a junior, with 46 tallies.

Golf
The fairway team, coached by Joe Toman, has tram, pled the greens through a highly successful season. A proper beginning is always a good policy, so the Links golfers downed Seward with a perfect 9,0 score Jack Wiedman, number one man; Don Albin and Bernie Mor, tensen took the meet honors.
Lincoln took an undisputed win over the Beatrice club swingers 11-1 at the Beatrice country club. Jack Wied, man won low scoring honors with a sparkling 7 5'. Don Albin won his victory with an 84, Bob Johnson took his match with an 86 and Don Tucker won with 88 Lincoln added another victory to its chain of con, quests when it overcame Havelock 10-5' on the muddy Pioneers golf course.
Grand Island, in order to keep the Red and Black slate clean, grudgingly yielded to the Links divot smash, ers 10½,7½.
The low score of the meet was credited to Byron Adams, who shot a 78 to take 3 points from Wiedman. Tucker and Christensen each contributed 3 counters for the Tomanites and Mortensen brought in 2. Johnson lost 2 points and won 1 Albin halved 3 points with his opponent .
STATE TOURNAMENT
After a succe sful season of dual meets, the Red and Black golf team folded up in the state links meet to wind up in fifth place, eighteen strokes behind the win, ning Grand Island team. Lincoln, paced by Jack Weid, man's 80-92 - 172, totaled 5'23 for the 72 hole play Bob Johnson getting an 84-89-173, and Don Albin carding an 87-91 - 178, completed the Links threesome. Don Tucker was the other member of the golf team, and though not permitted to play in the state champion, ship, turned in some fine scores in the dual meets.
Tennis
The first to fall before the rackets of the Toman crew was Nehawka, with a 2-5' score. In the singles matches Huston, Smith, Carothers and Parmele won for the Links, and Goldstein and Carothers won the second doubles match.
The Crimson of Jackson high school of Lincoln should be a little faded from the soaking they received to the tune of a 4-1 Links win.
Huston, Smith and Carothers garnered victory in the singles. Smith and Carothers took the only doubles match, as the second match was abandoned because of darkness.
Technical high of Omaha threw the well-known wrench into the smooth running Red and Black machinery to snap the long two-year chain of Links victories. Huston ran into quite a bit of trouble in defeating Kellogg 6-2, 8-10 and 6-4. Carothers and Gellatly won their respec, tive singles matches. But Tech's conquest of both doubles matches won them a 4-3 victory.
STATE TOURNAMENT
John Huston won the state tournament singles cham, pionship for the third consecutive time, defeating Gayle Kellogg of Omaha Tech, 3-6, 6-1, 7-5', in the furiou ly con, tested finals match on the Univer ity of Nebraska indoor courts.
Huston downed Anderson of Pierce, 6-4, 6-0, in the opening round and conquered the Fairbury entry, Robin, son, by a 7-5', 6-1 tally. He then pushed through the semi-finals by outpointing Hulbert of Havelock 6-1, 6,0.
The Red and Black doubles team, composed of Wen, dell Smith and Warren Goldstein, won their opening round 7-5', 4-6, 6,2
The Links doubles team was defeated 6,0, 6,3 by Razen and O'Hearn of Creighton Prep. This defeat elim, inated them from the doubles tournament.

Olympics
The olympics this year was quite different from any of the previous free-for-all a ff airs in that the · sophomores were allowed to compete in the track events but not in the boxing, wrestling or mass- events. This years olympics was distinctive in that the occasion fell on that fateful black letter day, Friday the thirteenth .
The juniors started things off right when they captured 5' points from Clyde Dean's first place in the base, ball throw for distance. The seniors were forced to take second and third for a grand aggregate of 4
The sophomores broke into prominence when they won first and second in the girls baseball throw to lead the scoring with 8 tallies. The crimson seniors filched 1 point to tie the junior score of 5'.
Again the juniors took the lead as a dark horse, black marked, second year man, bested the favorite, Ed Schwartzkopf of the seniors. The juniors also grabbed third place honors. Score: seniors, 8; juniors, 11, and sophomores, 8.
The crimson total was hefted to 16 by a first and second in the girls basketball throw. Third place was taken by the blacks for a 12-point total.
First and second in the boys 40,yard dash by Bob Brill and Jim Wittstruck respectively gave a superior lead to the hard fighting graduating class, who looked down on the junior tally of 13 from the dizzy heights of a 24 score.
The sophomores again took up the torch as France s Neuenschwander impressively won the 40,yard dash for girls. The second and third place points went to the senior score to make it 28, while the first and second year classes tied with 13. -
Diminuitive Mark Allen came to the aid of the junior score with 5' points when he won the 7 5' -yard dash for boys. The score board then read: sophomores 13 ; juniors, 18; seniors, 3 2.
The girls sophomore star, Frances Neuenschwander , again showed her heels, as she easily broke the tap in the 60-yard girls race The black placed second and the red, third. The red seniors now led 3 3 to the black juniors' 21, to the sophs' 18.
The first real sign of the presence of any jinx showed itself in the 75',yard shuttle relay for boys when the seniors dropped the baton and the junior and sopho, more teams easily finished in one, two order.
The jinx, however, showed no partiality to the two rival classes because the juniors also dropped their baton in the girls 60,yard shuttle relay, the seniors finishing nearly a lap ahead of the sophomores and raising their score to 38 as the soph score hit 24.
The spotlight was again turned on the sophomores as the girls took gold medal honors in archery. The seniors, also bending a mean bow, took the 3 points for second place, thus raising the crimson score to 41 while the sophs swept past the juniors' 26 with a 29

In the progressive broad jump for girls, the senior team extended their lead over the juniors with a first place which increased the count to 46. The sophs claimed second place to increase their lead over the jun, iors to 3 2-26.
The following event were for juniors and seniors ex, elusively; therefore the sophmore score stop at 3 2 hard earned points.
The seniors, represented by Newton Copple, took the lightweight division wre tling from Duane Haas, junior, by the one,fall route. Copple fulfilled hi mission within the first two minutes of the match. The senior score read 51. The junior tally looked a little wilted with 26.
Art Bartzatt was much too strong for his light op, ponent, Art Ring, the junior representative, in the heavy, weight wrestling. In the lightweight boxing division, Truman Claire, city boxing champion, won an easy ver, dict ( and 5 points for the juniors) over Sterling Hill of the seniors. These three rounds of mitten slinging lifted the junior score to 31.
The decision in the heavyweight class boxing again went to the juniors as Willard Morey was given the nod against George Watson of the crimson team. This raised the junior score to 36.
The senior boys eemed to have a little more of what it takes than the juniors as their perfect unison, due no doubt to "Moe" Ludwick's extemporaneous heave through
the megaphone, dragged the juniors across the dividing line into red territory Senior score was now 66
The senior girls, wearing a little more lipstick than usual, proceeded to imitate the boys' performance in the tug of war as they pulled the white flag in the center of the rope into senior terra firma, thus adding another 10 points.
The underclassmen cleared the circle of all seniors in the lightweight battle royal event. The 10 points won by the juniors in this event were their last.
The figures on senior olympic gilt edge preferred stock maintained a steady rise throughout the rest of the morning in the Lincoln high school market. The market closed at 12 a. m. with a high of 108 for senior bonds.
The heavyweight battle royal was won by the seniors, who, led by Art Bartzatt, did a thorough job of expelling all six fighting juniors from the circular battle field. The 10 points received for this scuffle enlarged the upper, classmen 's score to 86.
The sack rush is an event which would, if indulged in often enough, eventually build up strength and en, durance. The seniors won the event and increased their score to 96.
The color rush was also won by the seniors with Ed Schwartzkopf calmly seated with the colors atop the pole. The juniors could not penetrate the strong defense of the crimson wall which surroun ded the pole.

For the first time in everal years the girl receiving the G A. A. cup is recognized in THE LINKS. No better peron than Bernice Askey, thi year' winner, could have been selected for this honor.

Before long she was vice-president and then president of the club and introduced many original and interesting things into her meetings. •
While here she earned first and second state awards and earned letters in salesmanship and basketball.

Dancing
Out of the gymnasium nowadays come girls well versed in the up-to-date art of dancing, both tap and modern.
Though the dance routines may start out with poor timing and sore muscles, they always seem to pay in the end. This year the girls gave their own original character dances at the G. A. A. dessert party. Miss Grace Morgan teaches and directs the dances and is assisted by university cadets.

Basketball
Keen competition, with some thirty girls trying out for the interclass tournament, made this year's teams par, ticularly excellent, as was the tournament The seniors captained by Bernice Askey, came through as in all other sports, to take away the class and school honors by de, feating the sophomores 32,0 and the juniors 11-4. In the other game played, the juniors defeated the sophomores by a score of 13-2 The same girls, who are now the senior champs, were al'so the champions last year as juniors.
The seniors claim the high score of the tournament . Betty Heckman, valuable forward, scored 19 of the senior ' 43 points made in the whole tournament. Freda Martin, also a senior was second high The senior guards should receive special mention for allowing only 4 points to be scored against them in their two games. High scorer for the juniors was Frances Neuenschwander and for the sophomores, Leola Ca:rter. The basketball leader for this year was Ava Hand.
The winning senior team was made up of Bernice Askey who played as guard aided by Elsye Loso in this same position; Beth Brigham and Dorothy Carter, centers, and Betty Heckman and Elaine Larsen as forwards.

Salesmanship
Not exactly a sport but a very important part of the girls athletic assoc1at1on, the salesmanship phase of G A. A. secures the management of the financial end of the club. G. A. A. has permission to sell food at any high school activity held outside of the building, which includes all football and basketball games. Money raised by selling candy is used for several purposes. First, new gymnasium equipment for archery, ring tennis, paddle tennis, shuffle board and various other sports. The club also pays for ~he emblems and letters presented to the many girls who earn them each semester in the nu, merous sports. Included in the list of awards is the lovely engraved G. A. A. cup presented each spring to an outstanding girl. And last, the G. A. A. club has for many years financed the girls sport section in the LINKS.
This year, working under efficient Bernice Askey, com, missions manager, Kathryn Galloway, Velma Zigler, Jeanette Rodgers, Betty Jean Spalding, Shirley Spalding and Jeannette Mickey received their emblems. Having been in this work for two years, Bernice Askey received the only letter awarded in salesmanship.
Tennis
Tennis enthusiasts seem to increase with each tour, nament. The girls travel across to the municipal courts, where they receive elementary instructions before the tournaments in the fall and spring. Last fall a new tennis champion was recognized when Elaine Larsen, sen, ior and tennis leader, found herself at the top after eliminating Frances Neuenschwander in the finals. Run, ners,up were Freda Martin and Phyli Olson
Swimming
"Swimmers-Go!"-and another swimming meet is on its way to the records . The seniors, who had lost only one meet since entering high school, again set a fast pace to win over the sophomores and juniors, respectively, in the fall meet.
Dorothy Mattley, se i'i. ior, had the show practically in her own hands, not only by being high-point girl, but by swimming sixty yards under water and also bringing up in one surface dive all of the twenty-three objects from the bottom of the pool. Special mention goes to Ann Macdonald, sophomore, who was econd and dis, played considerable skill in her diving.
Final tally showed the seniors with Lois Dingman as captain with 50 points, and the sophomores, captained by Mary Aileen Cochran, with 2 7 points
Several girls decided it would be fun to stage a water carnival in the spring and interested about twenty-five girls to help. Under Elsye Lose they learned pyramid building in the water, stunt diving, swimming tandem for the crawl and back-stroke, and imitating an accordion. It is the first water carnival ever attempted at Lincoln high school.
Golf
This new sport was promoted by Betty Klingel, senior, who was elected its leader. She also has the distinction of being the first girl golf champion of Lincoln high. Mary Rokahr was runner-up.
In the future there will be an all-school tourney every spring and fall, and interest promises to grow rapidly.

Acknowledgements
From the first page to the l a t of the 1938 Links there is a story to be told of cooperation-cooperation of faculty members, students, business and professional men, alumni and many other individuals and organiza, tions. It was only through their combined efforts that this yearbook was published. Scores of pictures, reams of copy, sales campaigns and cover contest all show the influence of these interested spectators. Minute details such as deciding the proper word counts for copy, se, lecting the color and texture for the division pages and deciding on the type of material to be used in the cover necessitated outside experienced advice, and it is to them that the Links is a tribute.
To H. C. Mardis, for both tangible and intangible contribution to this book, we express our gratitude. For the personal touch he has manifested in the copy accom, panying his picture, we thank him. By his suggestion of grouping the staff section to include downtown ad, ministrators, Lincoln high administrators and faculty mem, bers, a definite advancement has been made. Possessed of ingenious skill in organization, Mr. Mardis' very pres, ence helped guide the policy and pilot this book to its completion.
Besides encouraging and aiding the staff to the ut, most . Miss Olivia Pound and Otto Hackman deserve special recognition for the appropriate copy accompanying their pictures.
To M. C. Lefler, superintendent of schools, the school board and J. G. Ludlam, who made arrangements for the pictures, go our sincere appreciation for allowing the Links photographer to interrupt their work. 0. H. Bim, son, assistant superintendent, should be acknowledged, not only for his willingness to give his valuable time to settle difficult problems, but also for his counsel on matters of business.
As an authority on points of art , Dwight Kirsch saved the Links board from making many an artistic error. He was never too busy to stop in his work and criticize constructively or praise different plans for page layout. We thank him for his active interest and splendid help.
Also in the field of art go our thanks to Miss Helen Wilson and Miss Gladys Dana. They contributed their taste and skill in art by helpful suggestion At their busiest time they were always ready to encourage and to offer some idea in place of the one they found lacking.
To the members of the faculty who kindly and quickly produced pictures of themselves after the board's eleventh hour decision to have individual pictures of the faculty (instead of the informal groups planned at first), the Links board apologizes and stands in gratitude.
We also at this time than k the heads of departments, who, when asked to give accounts of their department's work during the year answered with prepared copy. For the reason already given this was not used.
Along with this last acknowledgment goes one to the home room teachers for their expert assistance in the taking of the home room pictures. They, too, graciously consented to making out the keys for these pictures.
Indispensible at all times to the Links were the mem, hers of the office staff, Edna B. Williams, Dorothy Beever
and Leone Olson. Miss Williams was ever smiling and ready to see that the needed lists were prepared and checked. Aiding in the work of posting Links announce, ments on · the bulletin board and seeing that they were in the home room bulletins were Miss Beever and Miss Olson. These three were al o responsible for innumerable other little services. The Links board knows only pleas, ant associations with these untiring and able persons and sincere gratefulne s.
To the enthusiastic picture fans who caught Lincoln high life in some of its best moods in the halls, on the grounds and in the classrooms with the inevitable candid camera, we extend a vote of congratulation and thanks. To those in addition to the regular Links staff photog, raphers, whose camera activity proved useful, credit goes to C. 0. Morrison, C. E. Evans, John Thompson, Rob, ert Marcotte, Mary Adelaide Hansen, Dee DePutron, Lawrence Wentz, Richard Putney, Jean Holtz, William Foster, Mary Ellen McCracken, Jeanette Riddle and Cap, ron Mapes.
The underclass salesmen merit praise for the extra work they did on their own time to reach their classmates and sell the Links. They created wide interest in the book among the juniors and sophomores.
C. W. Rickel, third floor custodian, took care that there was a morr>ing after the ni~ht before" order to greet the eyes of the Links board each successive day upon entering 319.
For statistics long forgotten, general information and records, the Links found the Advocate, Lincoln high school "almanac," a complete and accurate ource. The Advocate cleared up contradictions and verified facts used in this book. It also contributed several pictures present in the book. Also not to be overlooked, is the weekly story the Advocate gave the Links. It published account of the progress of the work on the annual throughout this school year.
In admiration for their truly talent-revealing designs (that add to any book's attractiveness) we are obliged to Stanley Wilson for a distinctive title page design, Lois Lahla for her artistic end page all,over design and to Ann Needham for her clever signature spot drawing. Jean Holtz made one of the clock designs which is worthy of high praise.
Miller and Paine's took care of the sale of gift ub, scriptions of the Links at Christmas time. We give grate, ful thanks for their cooperation.
To John Stewart for his admirable tribute to the class, mate who died go our sincere thanks.
In the last minute rush before this book went to press there appeared an ocean of work to be done. Among the persons who were especially cooperative at this time we acknowledge Robert Weil, who obligingly counted words on our copy. Also helping at this time were classroom assistants and typewriting students from the classes of Miss Blodwen Beynon and Miss Esther Lefler.
With a heartfelt hope that it has been found a com, plete story and pleasure to read and that it will grow to mean much more in future years, we leave behind the 1938 Links.

Behind the scene of any play there is to be found a homogeneous working together of actor , director, ad, verti se rs , property committee and business manager. Raw material must be polished into finished performers. To accomplish this, one line; one word may often have to be rehearsed time and time again until a definite mood-a changing inflection in the voice is noted It is hard work for the leads to rehearse their scenes over and over again, but it is just as fatiguing to the "small bit" players and "extras" who deserve more credit than they usually re, ceive for attending every rehearsal and listening to lini>s they them elves have memorized.
Knowing that this is the time of entertainment and imagination, the dramatic coach, Miss Jane Schaible, beckon with one hand and the perfect play appears.

The property committee, the week of the show, scurry around town to find a spitoon, perhaps, or an overstuffed chair of the mid-V1dorian period.

Annie Laurie
Annie Laurie, the romance of Sir William Dougla and Annie, daughter to Sir Robert Laurie, was presented by the Mummers November 5' and 6. The story concerns the almost tragic love affair of Annie. Already betrothed to her father's friel}d, lord Ferguson, she meets Sir Wit, liam Douglas. Since their two families are enemies, the lovers must meet secretly, but they are discovered and Sir William goes away to war after composing the be, loved ballad, Annie Laurie. At the close of the war, Sir William is believed dead and Annie agrees to marry lord Ferguson. On the wedding day, her lover reappears and the two attempt to run away. A torm prevents their escape, but a happy ending is achieved when lord Fer, guson recognizes Sir William as the man who once aved his life and gives up his claim to Annie.
Truly the Annie Laurie of the play was a perfect image of the one described in the song; the gentlemen were romantic or noble as their parts required; the traditionally obdurate sire struck terror into every heart

A Friend Indeed
The senior play, A Friend Indeed, presented by the class of '38, is a hilarious newspaper mystery. The story concern Jack Singleton, reporter-of-fortune, and Dorothy Hancock, daughter of one of the leading citizens of Tark, ington, Indiana. These two with the aid of "Owls," cub reporter, and the ecretary, Patricia Bing, do their best to save the Daily Morning Star for their friend, Winthrop Dana, editor. From George Hancock and Parker, the banker, who wants to gain control of the Star, Dorothy and Jack steal her father's snuffbox to get a "scoop," not knowing he has hidden damaging political papers there. Matters are further complicated by Blackwell, star reporter, who joins the rival •paper, -and the good-natured stupidity of O'Reilly, police detective. In the end the snuffbox is "found," Mr. Hancock decides that honesty is the best policy, and he agrees with Dorothy that Jack is a model young man.
This play, a fitting finale to the dramatic career of the class of '38, was remarkable for the talent displayed by the entire cast.

Joy
For three triumphant nights everyone turned Hawaiian, with leis, hula girls and sparkling music. Thi was the result of the 1938 Joy night presentation. The cast and staff of Joy night were well rewarded for their weeks of preparation, playing to a full house at every per, formance. For thi a great deal of credit is due Miss Helen Dunlap, who directed the production; to the stu, dent council and to the sponsors of the different acts.
The best received act was that put on by the faculty, Snow White in Hawaii The Seven Dwarfs were of all shapes and sizes, the largest "Doc" Rangeler, being over six feet tall. Such flirting from George "Snow White" Mueller was definitely a masterpiece even if "she" did have a sugar sweet, falsetto voice. "Dopey," Joe Toman, was just as lovable as the original character.
A real highlight of the Red and Black Pepper act was the --lance by Rose Bud, alias Ardis Lyman, a charm•
Night
ing creature who tripped around on her toes till they gave out and then staggered to a hilariou close. But it was not more hilariou than the effect of seeing the L club sway across the stage What gorgeous creature s those hula girls were! Of course, a slight tendency t o he-man muscles, hairy chests and big ears could be over , looked. In this same act Coach Beechner gave a short talk on the various sports and illustrated each with tableaus by lettermen of the respective sports.
The curtain went up on a back-drop representin g Waikiki beach and Diamond Head at Honolulu, wher e some tourists were welcomed by native girls Followin g this the Mummers •presented a clever one-act play calle d Yes Is No, wherein Sonny, Jack Donovan, proves to b e the better of Dad, Charles Greenberg.

Joy Night
Undoubtedly the act with the most professional technique was The Flying Gyros, featuring Charles Elliott and Robert Hutton on skates Everyone gasped as they performed their most remarkable stunt, the Cannonball and Firefly, in which one boy lit a match held in his teeth while being swung around at a terrific speed, his face to the stage floor. .
The Wilson quartet; H elen, Mary, Ernest and James, four of Lincoln high's colored students, sang a group of spirituals They brought out every bit of melody and harmony in these songs.
"Wanna Buy Anything?" was the call of the superbarker, Gene Bradley, who successfully sold his audience everything from potato-peelers to fifty-dollar watches, "all for the sum of one dollar, no more, no less, just one dollar for this great bargain, folks!"
Deft curtain acts were performed by Howard Robinson, who swung out on his trumpet in true "jam" style, and Bonnie Parsons tap dancer, who stepped daintily, a twinkle in her eye and rhythm in her toes
Bringing the whole to a climax, the girls and boys glee clubs and the girls octet presented an Indian festival. Dorothy Weirich and Jack Anderson sang the Indian Love Call and Rose Marie. Dressed in the most becoming hula costumes, the octet led all in Aloha Oe , the traditional song of Hawaiian farewell.
All in all, this Joy night of 19 3 8 is an event long to be remembered. It was a glorious show and fully representative of what this school has to offer in the way of entertainment.

Big... Hearted Herbert
No character like Herbert ever assaulted the sympa, Cast: thies of an audience before.
In the beginning, Herbert, a plain man, and a self, made one, nearly w~ecks his daughter's romance because of his dislike for university graduates. He almost forces his eldest son, Junior, who wants to be an engineer, to run away because he wants him to go into the factory. Herbert's long suffering wife, the most convincingly par, trayed character, is about • at her wit's end trying to find a way to restore peace and harmony in her family. She does succeed, however, and does it so thoroughly that Herbert concedes to her the victory, ending this delightful sketch with the words, "Aw, don't get mushy."
Big-Hearted Herbert , in its way, was a dramatic tri, umph as its roles included all types of character from the social climber to the precocious boy.
The presentation of this entertaining comedy proved that the class of 19 39 has future Barrymores and Corn ells in its midst.

The Gondoliers
Amid gondolas in sunny Italy, the choir presented the opera, The Gondoliers, by Gilbert and Sullivan.
All of the action takes place either in front of the Ducal palace in Venice, Italy, with the Grand Canal as the background or in the palace of the Kingdom of Barataria Bright peasant and court costumes of the early eighteenth century complete the colorful scene
Many excellent voices, including the seven major and seven minor leads, were blended in telling the story of the Duke and Duchess of Plaza,Toro's daughter, Casilda. The plot becomes entangled when Casilda falls in love with Luiz., the attendant to her parents, and finds that she was married in infancy to the king of Barataria, whose whereabouts are unknown
In trying to solve the mystery, the characters en, counter more difficulties, which help to make a lively comedy The ha'ppy ending to the light opera is reached when the old nurse of the king comes to proclaim the real king and husband of Casilda, who is, of course, Luiz

September 17
Come one! Come all! Hurr-rry! Hurr-rry! Hurr-rry! Don't push, don't shove, but hurr-rry! Hurr-rry! The show starts at eight-twenty, so get your tickets now! Following three blistering months of glorious vacation I find myself delighted to return to my school daze. The summer's drouth may have burned the crops, but the sophomores arc still green!
September 18
Soon after the curtain went up, a senior was still looking for his auditorium eat-a sophomore had just discovered that his elevator ticket was n. g. and he had to walk to the balcony.
September 19
The first act of the Greatest Shaw on Earth was the "human victrola brothers" stunt (i. e., the highpressured activity ticket salesmen). They went down into the audience and were applauded handsomely!
September 24
The next novel act was put on by the Red and Black gridsters, who sprinkled "Crete Mills" flour on the stage and thus were able to perform admirably. The final score was 12-0. A victory over Crete always forecasts a successful football season.
September 29
This show is better than a three-ring circus! Today Jane Allen was elected president of the student council! (She's a whole show in herself.)
October 6
A brief interm1ss1on at which time the sophomores congregate for their annual party. More than enough ice-cream was in hand (pockets, stomachs, etc.) to meet the situation. Even Newman Buckley was satisfied.
October 8
The stage was brilliantly lighted today with gaudy "red and black" footlights. Larry Wentz took the spotlight and forecast shorter dresses by wearing his trousers at half-mast. (School color day.)
October 13
The show was interrupted to<lay because of campaigning in the audience. After those modest L men, Schwartzkopf, Ludwick and Metheny, were elected class presidents, they looked warily at the cam~ra.
October 22
Lincoln emerged in the closing seconds with a victory over Falls City. Our gridsters tallied seven points to the opponents' six. The football act is now midway without a defeat.
October 23
The girls were "swinging" it this fall in more ways than one-the annual girls tennis tournament got under way.
PAGE 137
October 28-29
Students slept through the N . S. T. A. con , vention, which took two days, and though remarkably well performed, interested teachers only!
November 5
Holding the attention of one and all was th e first swing session of the year, held on the maple s of the girls gymnasium . A maximum crowd polished the "Big Apple" to the riveting rhythm o f Jerry Mayborn and his orchestra. It was a trer:1endous succl'ss.
November 5-6
The auditorium lights were turned off. Th e bonnie Mummers were presenting Annie Laurie an d they wanted to be truly "Scotch."
November 9
A special feature of this L. H. S show w as Open House, when all parents were admitted fre e tcJ get a preview and review of their wns' an d <laughters' accomplishments
November 10
Turn about is only fair play and sin -: c th e Advocate has been scattering publicity they in turn should receive the spotlight of publicity themselves . Today several l 895-7 issues of Advo cates were presented to the school by Mrs. J. L. Robb and Mis s Viola Gray . In 1982 how many loyal Lincoln hi g h readers will be on hand to generously brstow a 19 38 copy of the Advocate to the school?
November 12
The Open House idea proved so successful that another "free" day was held. All former L men were allowed to watc¾ the Red and Black down Omaha Central. Major "Biff" Jones and the whol e Cornhusker football squad represented Nebraska University. The enormous crowd showed the renewed interest of Lincoln citizens in our athletic contests
November 13
Students of L. H. S. got a taste of "mike fright" when they presented their first school broadcast of the season.
November 17
The "flashy" seniors were the whole show to , day. Arrayed in eye-blinding blue and gray (n o connection with the Civil War) they presented quit e a colorful picture. They showed the student body that they really had intentions of graduating. (Senior color day.)
November 19
Though no Robert Taylor, Gregg McBride was just as enthusiastically received as he proclaimed our football team Missouri Valley and Nebraska champions. The occasion was the triumphant closing of the season by the first football banquet held by Lincoln high.
PAGE 138
November 24
The Mimes produced an effective assembly for the enjoyment of the student body. Undoubtedly the upperclassmen misjudge their qualities, because they aren't as green as they're "painted" up to be. P. S.: The future of Lincoln high is well in hand.
November 25-26
The show was closed temporarily because not only the cast but also the spectators were suffering from too much turkey .
December 8
The seniors were particularly attentive today as they had the auditorium all to th emselves. Mrs. Regina Wieman told them about social problems that you couldn't expect juniors or sophomores to appreciate Her views and statements may tend t o revolutionize social conditions and the students have demanded immediate action.
December 11- 12
"You can't kel?p a good man down," and in this case we mean the seniors! Today they showed off their histrionic ability in A Friend Indeed. The dramatic possibilities o( these seniors is wonderful. Ruth McMillan was the main attraction for Curtis Gettman and a half dozen other fellows. Ten years from now, Mr. Gettman will probably De the nation's No. 1 matinee idol!
December 15
Unfortunately the students \Yhile watching this show need nourishment - but they throw the candy wrappers helter-skelter everywhere- that is, until the student council got busy with their "Remember Me" campaign.
December 17
Finding Thanksgiving recuperation delightful, we took off two whole weeks in preparation for Christmas and New Year's Eve. The last day of school this year!
January 19-25
"What's the matter, Howard? Have you lost your last friend?" "Huh-uh Just exams!" (Note: No entertainment on the bill of fare this week.)
January 28
After the curtain had come down on Act I, there was a general shuffling around. During the intermission 170 seniors left, but the spacious the, ater was filled to overflowing with a sophomoric influx, bringing the total audience crowd to number 2,850.

What Happened to the Class of '38 or How to Know People Who Amount to Something in 10
Eas y Lessons is the tentative title of Robert Smith's book to be published in 9 5 3. He is now keeping a record of the "great" and "near great" of the class of '38 to be used as his "specimens" and he will continue to follow their social and scholastic development through newspapers and correspondence.
