INTRODUCTION •
To show you Lincoln high school, its pupils and faculty, its classrooms and halls, activities, and organizations, is the essential task of the Links. But to go beyond .these visible qualities, to put into words and pictures the influence that three years at Lincoln high school have exerted upon future occupations, in-

terests, and attitudes is the feat we have attempted.
Since this annual seeks to portray the future value, both sentimental and intrinsic, gained through attending a coeducational high school of 3,000 pupils and through participation in its abounding activities, we dedicate the 1939 Links to whatever future may be ours as a result in part of our experience in Lincoln high school.
With these pictures showing various phases of life at Lincoln high school , we present a summary of the pictorial content of the 1939 Links .

Carrying out the wishes of the people of Lincoln through the action of the school board, superintendents, ptincipals, and teachers .. . teaching pupils with the skill that education and experience have given them ... efficiently sponsoring clubs or activities for which their talents specially fit them ... endorsing the deserving measures passed by the student governmental bodies ... constantly studying modern methods of teaching ... revising courses of study and initiating new subjects in tune with the times. In this way the best of the new methods and ideas find willing support in the competent administrators of individual classes and departments, as well as in the administrators of the school and the board of education.

SCHOOL BORRD
Interpreting the people's wishes into efficient administration, the school board cares for such rnaj or problems as building and equipment, maintenance and faculty employment.
Consisting of six members, the board not only deals with these important issues but also handles indirectly the vast number of minor details that keep the system operating efficiently; for, although each individual school manages itself, the coordination of the entire system is the duty of the board.

M. C. LEFLER
Upon the superintendent, M. C. Lefler, rests the responsibility for a well-planned Lincoln public school system. Under his efficient leadership, with the help of assistant superintendents, supervisors, the whole teaching corps, and the . approval of the school board, ways and means are created to keep the Lincoln schools abreast of the times.

H. C. MARDIS, PRINCIPAL
The primary obligat i on and responsibility of any person act i vely in charge of several thousand young people is to keep the multitude of details running smoothly enough so that he may spend the greater part of his time and energy in personally helping pupils to become worthy members of our great American democracy, capable of bearing their share of the load
The American high school (i)ffers the greatest opportunity known for developing the ideals and techniques of a democratic civilization. I hope that Lincoln high school has been for you a living laboratory in which you have grown in both ability and desire to be a worthy participant in the finest social organization in the world today.
[ 15 ] l
During the years that the class of 1939 has been in school .it has become increasingly apparent that people must learn to understand and tolerate one another if they are to live peaceably. Members of a democracy can best develop tolerance by working together for common ends. The school affords endless opportunities to develop understanding and appreciation. An excellent example of what pupils and teachers can accomplish when they share a common enterprise is the 1939 Links.

Nothing could serve better to keep alive the rich memories of your high school years than this copy of the Links. As you turn the pages of this volume, may it remind you of work well done; play well played; and lasting friendships formed.

STUDENT COUNCIL
Each year Lincoln high is made a more progressive school because of the work of the student council. If credit were given where -credit is due, the all-student governing body chosen by the· school at large would come into a more prominent place under the spot-light. However, there are so many little duties which the school has long been accustomed to, such as putting up tardy pennants each week, sponsoring matinee dances, and acting as hall guides,
that it is not often realized how many hours of school service are put in by councilites. With the presentation of Joy Night in the spring, everyone , though, does get a glimpse of the efficiency and coordination of the council. It can truthfully be said that there has never been a poor performance of this traditional variety show. The successful safety campaign this year came to a climax with the incorporation of the Tuesday night traffic school.

HOME ROOM REPRESENTATIVES
Lincoln high, like every efficient machine, has found it necessary to have a "shock absorber"-to have an organization that keeps in contact with the student body and faculty, at one and the same time. It is for this purpose that the home room representative body was created. It is their ability to transpose student desires into concrete actions that has made them so useful to the school. Because they are typical high school students themselves, the representatives keep the school as progressive as the modern generation wishes, but at the same time use a sufficient amount of moderation
in all things. They earn the respect of their constituents.
Their more tangible duties include assist- · ing in home room activities, supervising elections, managing the sale of activity tickets, selling Advocates, collecting class dues, and inciting a high degree of school spirit in their home room mates. Beyond this, the representatives voluntarily usher at school performances, serve as hall guides, and assist at open house. Distinguished by their red and black arm bands, the representatives have long proved the backbone of school unity.

It is gratifying to honor in the 1939 Links those students who because of their popularity have been elected to offices in the senior class. If they are typical of the seniors as a whole, it is certain that the class of '39 will see its star rise.
Throughout the past three years we have shown by our conduct, our earnestness, our enthusiasm, that we meant to leave our mark indelibly printed on the ledger of Lincoln high.
It was in keeping, therefore, that we used rare discretion in choosing officers of in-
tegrity in our most important year-the year of fruition after two years spent in gathering momentum. Appointed by these officers were many committees, extensive in personnel, that directed the senior color day, the class day, the senior party, and senior picnic.
This year, more than usual, the winning personality of the officers was expressed through the medium of routine home room announcements and "master of ceremonying" at the class social affairs.

In a way, we laugh to see the poor underclassmen coming up to fill our shoes, but then again it cannot help leaving a touch of envy in our hearts to realize that they have yet the best of high school left before them.
Though it does not suit our prestige to bow too low in recognition of those who will carry on, still in passing we deem it permissible to note their progress. Admitted for the time being that it is virtually impossible to duplicate our record, the underclassmen have shown already that they are willing to try to live up to the precedent we have set. The sponsors of a class must take the brunt of the responsibility in seeing to it that
the class plays, the parties, and other activities go off smoothly. Consequently we mention Miss Ruth Hall, Miss Emma Beekmann, Miss Gertrude Jones, and Miss Irene Martin as women whom any class should be proud to have as sponsors.
Perhaps a clue to their future glory may be found in their past accomplishments. The Advocate and Scribe staffs are composed of underclassmen. The winners of this years interclass debate were juniors. Many of the stellar athletes that represent Lincoln high in intra-school competition come from these . so-called "youngsters".

l OB CABINETS
The several hundreds making up the sophomore class of '42 are ably served by a cabinet composed of the presidents of the various junior high civic league organizations throughout the city.
Because the incoming sophomores are not well acquainted with each other, this system of choosing a cabinet has been worked out to insure qualified leadership.
Our main grievance that we can voice against these "pure" souls is that every Tues-
day they chased us from our "hallowed" home in the auditorium so they could listen to lectures by Mr. Mardis about the institution known commonly as Lincoln high.
Too young to be represented on the council, they still are able to get a satisfying taste of school life by their contact with the home room representatives, their participation in clubs, and their attendanG;e of school performances.

CL.ASS SPONSORS
It is the " stars " of Broadway productions that receive the press notes, but it is the directors and producers who deserve the credit yet remain in the background.
So it is with Lincoln high's production, 'The Class of '39, that has been runhing to a packed house for three consecutive years. Behind the wings stand the class sponsors, Miss Lillian Monia and Mrs. Bernice Tebbetts, whose efforts to produce a successful show have borne fruit .in abundance.
We are now ready to go on to bigger and perhaps better things, but we will always remember our class sponsors as the friendliest and most inspiring of advisers.
Those who have not had an opportunity to come into direct contact with the ready wit and enthusiastic spirit of these "guiding lights" can perceive their efficient leadership ever present in the various class activities.

CHRONICLE OF THE CLASS OF THIRTY-NINE
PROLOGUE
Those of us who feared, in the fall of 1936, that high school loomed ahead as formidable as a three-year prison sentence realize with a start that it is all over now but the shouting. What seemed at first to be a dose of medicine has actually been turned into a pleasant experience. Looking back in retrospect at our high school life, we may well be indignant to be classified as "just an average group."
CHAPTER I
Once upon a time there were six hundred sophomores. They were drawn together by their common dislike of the thirty-five minute lunch period, their mutual dismay at the complicated "mysterious" locker combinations, their innocence of the treacherous ECA system, and by their wholesale attempts to appear sophisticated. Those were the days when we all listened to the bulletin and when we were genuinely proud of the "prompt" banner our home room won (the week Buzz Snodgrass was sick with the "flu" and couldn't spoil our record as usual).
George •Baxter and Bernard Heelan, whose combined weight was only one hundred and sixty pounds, appearing beside a giant six-foot senior in an Advocate picture, gave our class a little early publicity. Instead of interpreting this to mean that the class of 1939 was composed of "Lilliputians," we complimented ourselves on being unique and from then on, our rise to fame was almost meteoric.
The march of time found the sophomores winning the interclass swimming event and positions on the swimming team. As the months rolled by, it was a sophomore, Robert Alberty, who represented Lincoln high at the meeting of the .American Junior Academy of Science, and a sophomore, Lydia Lind, who was awarded the fifty dollar D. A. R. scholarship. We entered forty fast-talkers in the interclass debate
David Good, Rae-Hope Quimby, and Naomi Young take advantage of the occasion and wear gaudy colors on color day "Every-
tournament, and Leslie Dienst and William Dowell representing the class of '39 went on to victory over the senior and junior class winners. Of course we remember Joy Night and its "Inri of the Purple Frog" when we were represented not only by the Mimes and Clef clubs but also by Mary Beeson's rope twirling act and Pat Herminghaus' dancing
Fred Metheny and Ann Beard were the sophomores on the council. For class officers we chose Kay Watson, president; Fred Metheny, vice-president; Bonnie Parsons, secretary; and Ann Beard, treasurer. At our last important election of the semester we designated our student council representatives for the next year. In the final analysis, David Day, Jack Zimmer, Richard McConnell, Ann Beard, Patricia Herminghaus, and Dorothy Weirich were victorious.
CHAPTER II
A forewarning that we were "going to make history" in our junior year was evidenced by the fact that eleven of the fifteen Mummers appearing in Annie Laurie were juniors. But outside of electing Fred Metheny, Ann Beard, Bonnie Parsons, and Patricia Herminghaus class officers, our first semester of this new school year was devoted to hard work. Even the severe mumps epidemic that hit the school at this time did not daunt our spirit.
At the beginninq of the second semester we launched into the literary world by having all six managing and news editors of the Advocate hail from our class. As if this were not enough, a few juniors earned positions on the Scribe and Links staffs. Although in the political field the seniors remained supreme, we managed to elect Mary Adelaide Hansen and Lewis Day, president and vice-president respectively, of the home room representatives. In the line of public speaking, Richard Arnold was victorious in the Faulkner cup contest and Gene Bradley teamed with Robert Alberty to win the inter-
body still now while I count, 1-2-3-4." Sittings for Links group photographs involve the entire student body.
[ 31 ]
Deep Purple slows down Dorothy Weirich and Gene Bradley at the senior party
class debate tournament. The Hawaiian Joy Night theme brought out the best in the way of taJent in our dass. There was Gene Bradley selling potato-peelers, ~onnie Parsons tap-dancing her way to fame, and Dorothy Weirich co-starring with Jack Anderson in many lovely duets.
Special accolade should go to Martha Ann Bengtson for her characterization of an old-fashioned mother in Big Hearted Herbert, which, incidentally, was our junior play. Much credit for making this Broadway comedy particularly successful goes also to Robert Marcotte, in the title role; Marion Patten, who substituted at the last minute for Martha Ann Reed, unfortunate victim of the chicken pox; Robert Schlater, Romulo Soldevilla, and Robert Crandall.
We managed to place men on the allvictorious football and basketball teams not to menti.on our other athletes who saw considerable competition as members of the track, tennis, golf and swimming teams.
The only dark spot on our successful record during 1937-1938 was our ignominious defeat in the olympics. The seniors even retained their flag in the flag-rush] But shhhhh] The less said the better]
CHAPTER III
It was here 1 At last the fond hooe of every underclassman came to a head. We were actually seniors] Our curiosity so rampant as juniors had mellowed into a kind of austere sagacity in which we were content to keep a finger in every pie but at the same time encourage our proteges to keep on. We could well afford to relax and bask in reflected glory, but far be it from us not to see a thing through to the very end. There was still plenty of fight left in the old horse . . . if, indeed, we can be called either senile or equestrian.
Nine of the thirteen Mummers who took part in Graustar~ were seniors carrying on a precedent established in the Mummers play the year before. Maybe it was only fate but a last minute shift in ingenues in our senior play, 7'a~e My Advice, was necessitated by Betty Ann Roberts' injury.
[ 32]
Date: April 28; time: 9:45 P. M. Event: Senior party.
November 16, the rose and blue was the order of the day. Headliners in the senior color day program included such novel features as the celebrated bell-ringers led by Richard Putney; the roller skaters, alias Robert Hutton and Charles Elliott; and the boy quartet and girls octet. '
Lometa May and Richard Arnold as senior speakers addressed the one hundred and sixty-eight of us that graduated in January. Before commencement took place these seniors had selected Dean Jackson as their guiding light while the June class saw fit similarly to honor Donald Lovell.
Gene Bradley not only won the Faulkner cup confest and superior rating in the state oratorical contest but was elected president of our class during the final semester. Robert Weil, Romulo Soldevilla, George Blackstone and Robert Guenzel won three invitational debate tournaments and decisively defeated all competitors to win the district contest.
Dorothy Weirich and John Jay Douglass headed the student council while Robert Schlater presided over the home room representatives during the second semester.
We avenged our last years defeat in the olympics by turning out in full force to show that the "worm had turned." (At least I HOPE that's what happened; this is being written before we really do I) P. S. We won
As we were coming into the home stretch our much neglected social life took the spotlight briefly with our senior party and picnic on hand.
And so, with a song in our heart, with Gene Bradley and Robert Weil as our senior speakers we were thrust out into the bitter world one fine June day, Wednesday, the seventh.
EPILOGUE
We have head more than our share of fun. But combined with our good times has heen our desire to gain an education. In this quest, none of us has failed. None ot us can be ashamed of the record the class of '39 has made.

MIMES ASSEMBLY-NOV. 22-23. Lightsactionl Costumes of a Shakespearean play flitted across the stage, and The Most Lamentable Comedy of P yramus and Thisbe was begun. In the fashion of Shakepeare's day, few properties were used, no scenery, and men took the par19 of women. This years Mimes assembly presentation proved a huge success, as the delighted audience burst into peals of laughter and sincere applause. Perhaps a few opinions were changed as to the "dryness" of Shakespeare's works. Who said he lacked a sense of humor?

8 AND 9.

GRAUSTARK
Turbulent Graustark, regal yet modish, - was the scene of the Mummers' twenty- second annual production. Princes, barons, countesses in costumes of white, gold, green, and red were sprinkled through the large cast for this modern romantic comedy.
.A.n involved plot combined with brisk lines marked the first production of the season. This mythical kingdom in the Balkans is visited by two .Americans who are looking for a young girl whom they met while she was touring this country. Finding her at last, they arrange to meet her the next day. That night, overhearing a plot to kidnap the beautiful young ruler of the country, Princess Yetive, they foul the plan, only to learn that the girl they seek is the Princess. Following in quick succession are many gripping scenes. The plot is abruptly and happily closed in the last few speeches when with a!l obstacles removed the .Americans find themselves free to marry into the royal family.
When the last bit of make up had been removed, the set dismantled, and the books balanced, the Mummers generously donated the proceeds to the student emergency fund.

TAKE MY ADVICE
"Ism,s," fads, and smooth-talking salesmen made a beaten track for the door of the susceptible Weaver family. The mother liked the stock salesmen and anyone who was interested in numerology. The daughter was captured by the lure of the legitimate stage; her brother was blinded by admiration for the town coquette. The father's only desire was for a little peace and an aspirin. Into this fast-moving scene came a college professor, who, affer much wrangling, straightened out the confusion.
Last minute shifting of parts due to an accident to one of the principals did not discourage the cast of the senior play. Their production, era~e My Advice, was described by critics as the most successful of several seasons. Clever dialogue and humorous scenes aided the players as they played to their full house on December 9.
Between acts Jack .Anderson and Dorothy Weirich sang three numbers, Indian Love
Call, by Friml, Come To The Fair, by Martin, and Will You Remember, from Maytime, by Romberg.
.Assisted by Miss Jane Schaible, director, always ready with new ideas and interpretations, the class of '39 brought down the curtain on its dramatic ventures.

LABURNUM GROVE
Plot and counterplot in a story filled with intr i gue was witnessed in the auditorium April 21, by the audience of the junior play , Laburnum Grove Excellent character portrayal helped the audience feel themselves members of this chameleon-like group.
Laid in the quiet English countryside, the subtle story with its ambiguous ending caused varied comment. The calm yet mysterious father confesses to his sponging in-laws, chic daughter, and her favorite boy friend that he is a counterfeiter. This verbal bombshell causes everyone to lose a night's sleep . The mother gleefully announces that they have been the victim of a jest , when they wearily convene the next morning, but the appearance of a Scotland Yard detective makes them wonder, "What ' s the truth? " The inspector leaves, apparently satisfied , but the father excitedly instructs his henchmen to destroy the counterfeiting presses,
and with his family prepare's to say , " Bon voyage ." No one was able to relax idly, for every scene was crammed full of action. The audience left with a desire to return n~xt year and spend another enjoyable evening as members of the class of ' 40 put on their farewell performance as seniors

MUSIC CLASSE S
A raised baton, a breathless pause, and then stirring music crescendos and decrescendos as the Deanna Durbins and Jascha Heifetzes of Lincoln high school begin the musical school year. When Bernard Nevin lifts his baton, the orchestra, a combination of five great growling bases, twenty-five singing violins and cellos, twelve trumpeting horns, and twelve whistling reeds, bursts forth.
The orchestra presented November 20 the first vesper of the season playing five selections, notable among which were The Beautiful Galathea by Suppe and The Little Shepherd by Debussy.
The shrill scream of a whistle, the rat-atat-tat of the snarG drums and then, Cheer, Cheer for Old L. H. S. and Sons of the Blac~ and Red floated forth as another part of Lincoln high school's music department, the band, under the leadership of Mr. Nevin , thrilled the spectators at the football and basketball games.

.A triumphant musical season was appropriatelY. climaxed with the choir ' s presentation of the entertaining opera, 'The Firefiy, by Friml. The marines, yachting boys and girls, street singers and the palm trees and sapphire seas of a lazy tropical climate of Bermuda is the setting of the story of Nina, an Italian street singer. Nina masquerades as a boy and goes to Bermuda on the Van Dare yacht as cabin · boy. Herr Franz, the singing master, hears her sing and, thinking she is a boy, decides to adopt her and train her to be the world ' s greatest tenor. Geraldine Van Dare dislikes Nina because her sweetheart Jack seems to like her . Therefore she is greatly relieved when Nina is mistaken for .Antonio Columbo, New York's cleverest pickpocket and leaves for New York. Four years pass, during which time
Nina becomes the great Madame Gianina; Thurston, Jack's uncle, falls in love with Geraldine; and Jack's love for Nina increases. The traditional triangle in love finally squares itself happily for all concerned, when A Maid Comes Knoc~ Knoc~ Knoc~ing at Your Heart.

CHOIR
The effectiveness of a large, well-balanced choir, trained to sing unaccompanied, is extremely difficult to match in the field of musical expression. Recognizing this fact, Hugh Rangeler, in his second year as director of vocal music at Lincoln high, has endeavored to develop with the material and facilities at hand, a choir of sufficient size and with enough instruction in singing unaccompanied to insure adequate volume and finesse for the proper interpretation of a great variety of numbers.
At the beginning of the second semester, the Lincoln high school choir numbered
slightly under one hundred voices and was in the midst of an extremely busy season. The traditional Christmas assembly brought the choir before the entire school, while numerous guest appearances in the city gave many persons outside the school a taste of what the younger generation can offer in the way of real music. An interesting contrast to the choir's previous work was the production of Rudolph Friml's popular light opera, 'The Firefi.y, to close the school music season. Assisting with the opera, were Paul LeBar, professional accompanist, and the high school orchestra

BOYS GLEE
With a list of public appearances literally a yard long to their credit, including radio broadcpsts, vesper concerts, and innumerable programs presented at state-wide c onventions and at weekly meetings of Lincoln business men's clubs, the members of the boys glee club have reason to be well pleased with the past season. To have developed such a popular glee club while seriously handicapped by a shortage of tenors is definitely a feather in the cap of the club's director, Hugh Rangeler. Selections from the works of Victor Herbert, H. R. Shelley, Rudolf Friml, and many other great names in music went to make up the club ' s extremely versatile repertoire.
GIRLS GLEE
Great rivalry is evident when the time for glee club try-outs rolls around, for evidently the girls of Lincoln high school have found that '' one ounce of participation is worth a ton of appr e ciation." Sixty-six girls, under the direction of Miss Helen Stowell, entertained many groups in Lincoln through the year, singing before the principals of the schools, the Rotary club, and the teachers at their convention as well as at vesper concerts, assemblies, and the mid-year concert. Among the numbers in their repertoire were On the Steppe by Gretchaninoff, T he Snow by Elgar, Slumber Song of the Madonna by NoyesStrong.

THE LINKS
The Links is a book of the students, for the students, and by the students of Lincoln high. Though the annual is not designed as a masterpiece of literature that would win nation-wide renown, it strives to present a composite picture of high school days.
Perhaps in leafing through these pages, it will be noted that the theme of "outlooks on life through the medium of the school" has been used. In this, the tenth year of the depression, it is appropriate that the 1939 Links should be dedicated to our future achievements toward which Lincoln high school has furnished stepping stones.
Timeliness always plays an important part in the make-up of each years Links. It was as a tribute to the "Boys in the Service"

THE LINKS
that the 1918 year book was published, and since then current ideas have been incorporated int each edition. The first Links, published some twenty-two years ago, reveals many sections incongruous with the Lincoln high of today. Conspicuous because of their meagreness and "posed" appearance were the pictures, scattered at random throughout the pages. All in all, however, the year book is an expression of that years class. As a culmination of all that has gone before, this years book represents the concerted efforts of a board augmented by assistants to the editors and business manager, many staff members, and over one hundred salesmen. However, it is the support of the pupils as a whole from which the Links derives its real strength.

FIRST SEMESTER.
The Advocate has stood as a symbol of Lincoln high progress since its installation some forty-four years ago. The new open style of this years edition has given it more than ever the "Big Town " effect. In a school of three thousand, perhaps more so than in smaller high schools, the unifying work of a weekly newspaper is appreciated. On a Wednesday morning when the Advocates have been distributed, a pin can be heard falling in the auditorium or in the various home rooms .
For the tenth successive time the Advocate earned All-American honors in the national scholastic critical service; while in the contest open only to Nebraska high school papers, it shared with only two other schools highest rating of all-state.
Many of the staff members of metropolitan dailies have received through the Advocate their first taste of journalism. First semester leaders were Kathryn Park, Elwyn McClary, and Leslie Dienst, managing edit?rs; Sidney Ann Gardner, Patricia Clinton, and Barbara Ernesti, news editors.

SECOND SEMESTER
Although most of its readers turn first to the Static column to find their names among its quips, the staff strives to print a paper of interest from first page to last. The advanced newswriting class, which is responsible for the success or failure of the paper, is made up each semester of those selected from the four beginning newswriting classes.
Those who at first criticize come to realize the painstaking efforts that are made to be exact in every detail, despite the fact that positions are changed every six weeks, an
uncommon procedure in high school journalism.
Without the Advocate, which is always willing to play up the opera, the dramatic productions, the Joy Nights, year in and year out, Lincoln high would literally be in ignorance in regard to extra-curricular activities.
Heading the staff for the second semester were Wallace Provost, Donald Wilson, and Patricia Peterson, managing editors; Ona Beth O'Connell, Jeanne Schroeder and Mary Louise Babst, news editors.

Vivid red surmounting silver gray not only serves as the cover for this years Scribe, but also epitomizes its contents, for they run the scale from the gentle melancholy of twilight poetry to the bright scarlet of good comedy
.A flash of genius here, a spark of ingenuity there, each year characterizes the essays, short stories, and poems that make u p this traditional volume.
RED RND BLACK HANDBOOK
.As scarce as blossoming flowers in winter is the Red and Black handbook which is reprinted every few years. Those who are fortunate enough to possess a copy value it now far more than the five cents it cost them. Printed in convenient pocket size, this valuable booklet contains nearly as many bits of knowledge as a world almanac. There is a floor plan of the school for those uninitiated in the treacheries of the class room numbering system .A complete sketch of the various curriculums, an explanation of the different English courses, and the student governing constitution make up other features of the handbook Because of its everyday usefulness it can truthfully be called a " sophomore's encyclopedia."
SCRIBE
.A stirring denunciation of military training, a dramatic revisal of Shakespeare's soliloquy of Hamlet, a simple yet stirring autobiography, are typical of the versatility of Lincoln high's writers. Equally beautiful are the appealing poems of chapel bells, of the capitol, of futility, of eventideunique, yet warm and somehow like memories of Sandburg, Lord Byron, Shelley, and Chaucer.
STYLE CA.RD
What Emily Post is to society, the style card is to Lincoln high English usage. It is designed to correct the common faults made by students in every clay speech and composition. Rules in regard to the writing of numbers, use of adverbs, colloquial expressions, verb forms, pronoun constructions, capitalization , and punctuation are stressed It is not so much a sin not to know what is right and what is wrong as it is not to avail oneself of the opportunity of learning these simple grammar points from the style card . The style card is an achievement of the English department accomplished after much consultation of the best standards of authority.

DEB.ATE TE.AM
"A debate coach ' s dream" was the way Mr. Kvasnicka characterized this years debate squad. For the first time in the history of the state, one high school won three Nebraska college debate tournaments. The school was Lincoln; the tournaments were the Midland, won by Robert Weil and Romulo Soldevilla; the Hastings, won by Robe r t Weil and George Blackstone, and the P eru, taken by Romulo Soldevilla and Robert Guenzel.
Besides these, the team won the district, reached the semi-finals of the Doane, and survived three rounds of the state. In the girls' division the finals of the girls ' tournament was reached Other tournaments attended, in which no championship was granted, were the Beatrice, Benson, and Lincoln invitational tournaments.
Lincoln's debaters also covered themselves with individual honors. Robert Weil won the highly coveted Midland scholarship for being the best debater at that contest. John Jay Douglass was first in extemporaneous speaking at Hastings, while
The debate team feasts on the spoils of this years tournament. Interclass winners, Donald Meyer and Robert Schaufle-
Joseph McDermott took second at Doane in the same field. The last-named also received an excellent rating at the' district in original oratory. In the division of interpretative oratory, Gene Bradley won superior ratings at both the district and state tournaments.
In all, thirty-eight students participated in debates with other schools, staging 240 debates. Of these, 139 were decision debates, Lincoln winning eighty per cent.
The debating season of 1938-39 was one of the most successful in the history of the school. The team compiled a record unequaled in the state. These boys graduate , but they leave behind a remarkable array of cups and trophies and an example for future teams.
The interc;lass debate tournament was a preview of next years national question , " Resolved that railroads of the United States be governmentally owned and operated. " Inscribed on the Downer-Stewart cup was the junior team of Robert Schaufelberger and Donald Meyer
berger, accept the Downer-Stewart from David Walcott.

FIRST TEAM FOOTBALL
Playing an eleven-game schedule, believed to be the toughest ever undertaken by a Lincoln high squad, the Beechnermen marched through the football season without suffering a single setback or tie. The powerful offensive machine rolled up 282 points to the opposition's 33, and for the second straight year claimed the state championship, as well as the Missouri Valley title . Forced to share these honors last year, the Links claimed them outright this season. The eleven victories l~ngthened the winning streak to twenty games, the Links not having gone down in def eat since Minneapolis South turned the trick in 1936.
Howard Debus was named on the first all-state honor eleven, while durable Fred Metheny, able quarterback, and scrappy Joe Partington, fiery first man, landed berths on the second and third teams respectively . Dean Jackson, Forrest Bachman, Eugene
Irick, Dale King, Bud King, Don Hansen, and Bob Ogden all received honorable mention for their efforts.
The seasons first encounter was the annual first team-reserve battle. The varsity soon showed that it was headed for state honors, for the seconds were dropped, 54-0.
September 24 found the Links meeting St. Joseph Central at St. Joe, Missouri, in what was the first night football game a Lincoln high team ever played. It evidently didn ' t hamper them any , as the Indians were scalped, 21-6. Hansen and King scored twice in the first half and although Central tallied with a 50-yard drive in the third, Lincoln sewed up the game with a 25-yard pass to King.
A temporary letdown came on September 30 when an inspired Crete eleven led the Links 7-6 at the half. A 32-yard aerial was responsible for the damage, but a 25-yard

flip from Debus to Hansen, plus Metheny's extra point cinched the game, 13-7.
The Beechnerites topped their traditional rival, Grand Island, 28-0, on October 7 at the third city. Debus whipped a 49-yard strike. , to "Red" Hansen for the initial tally and in the third period climaxed an 82-yard march by · ploughing over from the ten. Later, after a poor Island punt, several line smashes culminated in Metheny's sc~ring. The last counter came with only thirteen seconds remaining as Debus hurled a quick pass to McMaster.
fl superior passing attack gained the Links their first league win on October 15 as they journeyed to Sioux City, Iowa, to down the Central Maroons, 19-7. The first tally came when a 20-yard pass from King to Jackson hit: Central came right back in the third when a Lincoln punt was blocked With the extra point they led 7-6 However, early in the fourth, alert Fred Metheny
snagged an errant Central aerial and dashed twenty-five yards to the promised land. With four minutes left, King smashed center for twenty yards and the final marker.
fl visiting Beatrice eleven was roughly . handled on the twenty-first, as the Red and Black pounded out a 38-0 win. fl long Debus reverse pass was good for the initial score and King and Hansen added two more. Metheny squirmed over for another in the third and then, with a big finish in the final period, both Debus and Jennings ambled over.
Only a last quarter passing barrage saved the Links on October 28 as a visiting Omaha South squad threatened. fl short aerial from Debus to Metheny in the opening moments gave Lincoln six points but the Packers tallied in the second to take a 7-6 half-time lead. They kept it until midday in the final canto when "Slinger" Debus threw two

touchdown passes to Jackson for a sweet 19-7 victory ..
November 4 saw a visiting aggregation from Omaha Tech fall 25-0 on a slippery muddy field. O n the third play of the game Debus swept off right tac kle for twenty-five yards and six points, and, after an exchange of ·punts, Hansen cut back over the right side and scampered unmolested fifty-three yards for another marker. He slid 12 yards over the middle for the third score after a pass interception and, after the intermission, flipped a short basketball pass to Keszler for the concluding touchdown.
The following Friday, in an .Armistice day game which drew 5,000 spectators in Omaha, the capital city lads annexed the Missouri Valley title by tripping up Omaha Central 19-0. King shoved over in the first from the one-yard line and then two Debus to Hansen passes completed the scoring in the final periods.
Jug Brown's Falls City tigers were the next victims as Lincoln journeyed to Falls City to win as it pleased, 33-0. Metheny and Debus went over on line plays in the second and then, in the fourtq, the Beechnermen added three more scores. King and Lovell each got one and Lebsack tallied the last, via right guard.
.A thrilling climax to a successful season came on Thanksgiving day as the Red and Black men traveled to North Platte to down the local Bulldogs, 13-6, to take, undisputed, the state title. Lincoln scored in the second as Hansen wriggled through from the 12. King plunged for the extra point. The "Platters" scored in the third on a line plunge and repeatedly threatened. However, the Links came back to ice the game in the fourth when Debus crashed over from the two after a pass and lateral play had put the ball in scoring position. It was Lincoln's twentieth straight victory and second straight state title.

RESERVE FOOTBALL
With the exception of the first team game, the fighting Red and Black reserves not only claimed an unblemished record of five wins, no losses, no ties, but were not even scored upon. However in their first encounter, the powerful first team took them into camp by a 54-0 count.
From this point on the season assumed a more cheerful aspect, for on the following Friday, in a greater Lincoln League contest, a favored College View team was upset 6-0, as Vaughan flipped a 15-yard third period pass to Maser for the sole score and league victory.
The Beatrice seconds were the next vie-
tims as they journeyed to Lincoln only to fall 25-0, as Step Jones ' two tallies paved the way.
A week later a visiting Creighton Prep reserve team fell by a 32-0 score, which saw Jones, Schmidt, and Blum chalk up 30 points.
On November 10 the seconds made their only trip of the season as they traveled t o Fremont to top the Fremont reserves 37-0.
The seasons finale was on November 18 when a visiting Eagle outfit fell by the wayside, 37-0. Step Jones made the greater Lincoln league honor roll.

FIRST TERM BASKETBALL
With but one returning letterman, Coach Ralph Beechner was forced to build from the ground up, and the result was a basketball season of rather undramatic achievement. The Beechnermen dropped the opener as a visiting Omaha Central quintet emerged victorious by a 29-26 count. The Links next journeyed to South Omaha, where they edged out the Packers 26-24. The following evening Grand Island was downed 32-25 on the Whittier maples.
Friday the 13th saw an inspired ball club from Hastings smash the Red and Black 48-26. A visiting Omaha Tech outfit prevailed over the Links 22-17 the next night in a slowmoving ball game. January 20 and 21 the Beechnerites journeyed to Sioux City, where Friday night saw Central win 37-28, while on Saturday, Lincoln salvaged the final game with East 23-19. The following week o~naha Central won 40-32, in a return game. Crete was next downed on its home floor 39-15.
February 4 was the return engagement with Omaha South which the Beechnermen
won 36 -21. A powerful York team next took the visiting Links, 31-18. On the following evening , a visiting band of Beatrice basketeers was rudely handled, 38-28. Lincoln took an early lead in the annual big game with Jackson , but failed to hold it as a Card rally won 29-22 at the coliseum. The Tech team applied a 48-20 pasting to the Links on their last trip. Lincoln eked out a thrilling 28-27 win over Kearney in a game, which at one time found Lincoln trailing by 12 points
In the district tournament Lincoln had an easy time downing Crete 32-19, and Teachers 39-18 . In the finals, Jackson again did the trick 43-25 . In the first round of the state tourney, Lincoln met Norfolk, which took an early 16-5 lead, but four baskets by Metheny cut it to 16-13 at the half. At the end of the regular playing time it was 27-27 An extra period left it still tied, so another was played. Finally Tom Rice sank two free throws to make it 29-27. In the second round, Creighton Prep proved too strong and downed the Beechner boys 37-19 to end the Links' hopes and season.

Baseball is celebrating its one hundredth anniversary this year, and Frank Mueller's Red and Black diamond crew are providing their share of the celebration Baseball always has been a fan-pleaser at Lincoln high.
In the first game of the season, Gayland "Lefty" Glass whiffed eleven men in four innings as Lincoln pounded out a 17-1 win over Teachers high. Don Lovell and Bill Jennings paced Lincoln with six hits between them.
The Muellermen next traveled to Schuyler, where they eked out a 4-3 victory with a desperate seventh inning rally . With Lincoln one behind, Lovell singled, stole second, then came home with the tying run on pitcher Wilkinson's double, who soon scored the winning tally when pinch-hitter Joe O'Connor singled him home.
On a muddy field that was better suited for ducks than baseball players, the Links triumphed over a visiting Madison nine, 6-0. Relieving Glass at the end of the second, Mark Sheffert permitted Madison only two hits as he struck out twelve. The six Lincoln
runs came in the first three frames.
The reformatory baseballers next outslugged the Red and Black nine, 10-6, in a nine-inning practice contest. Coach " Red " Mueller used twenty-one players.
April 21, southpaw Benny Kohout was in fine form as he and his mates mowed down Teachers high, 13-0, in the return engagement. Kohout limited the tutors to a solitary hit and sent down four via the strike-out route. Lauer and Gordon got long triples.
In a tight pitchers' battle which went nine full innings , the Muellermen drew 0-0 with a visiting Fremont team. A return game will be played later.
Schuyler next traveled to Lincoln to upset the Links applecart, 7-2. Although Glass gave only seven hits and fanned twelve, six infield errors contributed to the defeat.
Wilkinson pitched qood ball but weakened in the fifth, and Creighton Prep scored three runs to take Lincoln 4-2, April 29.
" Mook " Sheffert literally won his own game, May 1, when he struck out fourteen, gave three hits and got two of Lincoln's eight hits , to set down Liberty, 8-3

Conta ined in the brilliant showcase on the second floor are a vast quantity of gleaming athletic trophies gained by Lincoln high athletic squads. And a great number of these are the direct result of the efforts of the Red and Black trackmen who annually pace prep meets.
Coach "Cy" Yordy sent two relay teams to the Hastings m eet April 15. The 440 team came in second, while the sprint medley crew annexed a third in their event.
Successfully defending their title, the Yordy cindermen placed in every event to take the York invitational meet handily with 80½ points. Super i or field work piled up points as Debus took first in the pole vault, javelin, discus and second in the shot. Teammate Hoffman won the shot and got second and third in the discus and javelin respectively. Lebsack took the broadjump with Hyatt third, while Jordan and Nickerson got first and third in the high jump. On the track Sexton, Marshall, and Francisco led the way in the century, half, and mile runs. Pierson
placed third in the low hurdles as did Jordan in the high barriers.
The Red and Black next swept the Kearney invitational by amassing 56 points to their nearest rival's 19. Debus collected 18 points by winning the discus, javelin, pole vault , and a second in the shot. He set new records in the javelin and discus while Charley Hoffman, who took second in the javelin and platter-throwing, set a new record in putting the shot 1 foot, 7 inches farther than the previous mark.
The cinder kickers, led by the distance men, got their share of points with Francisco taking the mile and Culwell the half. Marshall and Johnson got thirds in the quarter and half mile.

TRACK
SWIMMING
Despite the fact that there was no state swimming meet, the Red and Black swimming season was considered a great success with the record reading six wins and one loss:
February 2 found the Toman paddlers journeying to Beatrice to dunk the Orangemen 54-1'.L in their home tank. Lincoln annexed every first place including the two relays. It was the initial meet for both squads.
Two days later saw the Red and Black mermen bo"w to their arch rivals, Omaha Tech, 35-31, in the Tech pool. It was a close meet, the winning of the medley relay by Omaha deciding the final outcome George Crancer, Les Oldfield, and Don Hilgert took the only Lincoln firsts.
The Lincoln Y. M. C. A. splashers were the next victims as they sank before the Toman men 36-30 in their own water. Lincoln's 180yard medley relay team of Oldfield, Lofink, and Hilgert broke the pool record in the time of 1:52.8.
A return meet with the Y was held on February 17 in the Lincoln pool; this the Red and Black tanksters won, 45 - 21. Dick Marshall
tied the state record and set a new pool record when he swam the 100-yard backstroke event in 1:08.6. The Links took every event with the exception of the 160-yard free style relay.
Coach Toman assigned. his second team the task of taking on Beatrice, March 2 in the return home engagement. They came through nicely with a 36-29 win, as Stoddart and Stewart tied in the 40-yard dash; Heiny took the 100-yard breast; Martin, the 100yard back; and Davis, the 100 free style Henderson completed the scoring by easily winning the diving.
Another meet was held with the Lincoln Y. M. C .A. swimmers, and again Lincoln came to the fore with a 40-26 triumph. Feature of the meet was Oldfield's breaking of the state pool record in the 100-yard backstroke. His time of 1:08.5 cracked the pool record set just two meets previously.
The last contest of the season found the Links again trouncing the Y mermen 49-18, in the Y pool for their largest score against the Y swimmers. Crancer, Ammon, Marshall, Hilgert, and Hutton took individual fir_sts as both relay teams garnered victories

[ 137 ]
SPEED BALL
The thud of leather against toe, of a sailing ball between the goal posts, mean speedball to the many girls who invade the gymnasium in the afternoon to try for the eleven positions on a team. This past year the juniors defeated a combination team of seniors and sophomores by winning two games out of three . The battle between goalies, halfbacks, fullbacks, ends, arid forwards was waged with Frances Neuenschwander and Juanita Lambert captains of the junior and sophomore-s e nior teams respectively.
TENNIS
Using forehand and backhand strokes, a volley, or lob, the contestants in the tennis tournament execute the game in a style that all newcomers like to watch and profit from . This years champion is Merr-iam Mann, who defeated Marie Louise Drake, the defending champion, for the title. Semi-finalists were Jean Whedon and Bette Nye.
TAP DANCING
Keeping time to music , the tappers work out new steps in order to earn their letters. The requirements are to compose an original dance and appear before some public gathering.
A dance, On Parade, was presented by four of the girls, Verna Mae Hansen, Kathleen Cassidy, Gretchen Rosecrans and Marie Louise Foster, as the G . .A. .A. act in Joy Night.

Rosecrans,
SWIMMING
Following weeks of patient practice and instruction came the swimming m e et. Last fall the juniors emerged victorious with Ann Macdonald scoring 20.25 points. Mary Jane Harnly, senior, was second and Barbara Wise, sophomore, third.
Upholding the junior colors were Marilyn Lawson, captain, Mary Aileen Cochran, Ann Macdonald, Ona Beth O ' Connell, True Wetzel, and Mary Zimbleman.
Seniors in the meet were captain Carolyn Baker, Mary Jane Harnly, Harriett Black, Marjorie Crandall, Josephine Heilman, and Evangeline Kubik.
Participating sophomores were the captain, Barbara Wise, Jean Whedon, Donna Jeanne Hall, and Betty Schwartz.
MODE RN DANCING
Perhaps not regarded as a sport in the same sense as basketbcdl or baseball, nevertheless, modern dancing builds up strength and gracefulness. It gives the girl not interested in the more strenuous sports a chance to earn her emblem and letter. Under the assistance of Miss Grace Ann Morgan and the sports leader, Betty Weart, the girls worked out several interp r e ~ative dances.
SALESMANSHIP
Red jackets and black hats can be sighted going through the crowds at the football and basketball games as girls sell candy and ice cr e am to increase the G. A. A. treasury. New equipment for the girls gymnasium and letters and emblems for the girls in the club who have earned them are purchased from this fund. Mary Jane Trumble and Dorothy Martin are concession managers.

BASKETBALL
Swish! Another two points are scored as the ball sails through the hoops. Every winter, girls invade the gymnasium to practice for the basketball tournament held in March.
The tournament was the climax to many weeks of practice and drilling. Free throws, setups, offense and defense ... all were used as means to improve team play. With the aid of the sports leader, Merriam Mann, a double round-robin tournament got under way. Juanita Lambert captained the victorious seniors, Billie Barrett led the juniors, and Bette Nye directed the sophomores.
L GIRLS
Black chenille L's on scarlet sweaters indicate two years of participation in some sport. The first year an emblem is awarded with an invitation to join the girls athletic association The following year, if the team is made or all requirements met, a letter is the reward.
Organizing the girls who have earned letters into one group is a plan to encourage other girls to enter into their favorite sports with the privilege of wearing a Lincoln high school letter as their ultimate aim.
