Lincoln High School 1941 Yearbook

<Volurm:

Dear reader, this is your invitation. To you comes the privilege of- viewing in a few moments a year of Lincoln high school activity. You may step in through these portals to see from your chair what is taking place in a young city of 3,000 inhabitants, to be an invisible observer while they work and play before your eyes. Take your Latchkey and come in.

We find one large gallery,-...,but with light and airy rooms. It is called Our School, where may be found pictures and descriptions of our town, the building housing all, and the administrators , teachers, and students that make up what is Lincoln high.

As our pace takes us, we see the movement of Our Activities keynoted by a display, in which happenings of organization and their personnel are pictured with words and photographs, and where you may see Lincoln high as it is while the students are there, when the building is alive with dubs, classes, plays, debates, assemblies, graduations, and all student life .

Accept this invitation from the staH of this volume, and the students and teachers of this school. Accept the cordial invitation to walk in and make yourself at home. And when you lea e, take one la t look behind you, for there you see us individually as we shall be only once; you see our school as we hope it may be but once, as Lincoln high is changing always toward an upward goal.

Tarry no longer; turn your Latchkey; before you is the 1941 LINKST

"Book larnin" means more than some kids and a teacher. The teacher must be "lamed" her elf. and then, in order to devote her wholehearted attention to helping her young initiates, he must have someone to take care of such es entials as paying the bills and getting the place swept and tidied. The someones must fend off haggling people-withideas, filter and improve new and old plans, and discourage the always near wolf. Here' where something special" needed, some governing body of people that are about half taxpayer and half educator.

Inspired city fat hers of some unremembered community figured out the proplem of school y tern administration a long time past when they invented the chool board, here composed of six Lincoln dads. mothers, and bu ines men. They keep their collective eyes, ears, and minds on the work of keeping city "book larnin" on the perennial move, changing the outmoded, and watching the educational ticker tape. Yet the e too have need of advice to achieve greate t efficiency.

"Chief Coordinators and Horizon LookersOver" might well tell of the positions held by Miilard C. LeHer and 0. H. Bimson, for they mu t not only keep the team up in the boilers, but they must keep the boiler in repair and put in a new type, if the new type is better and not too costly. To Mr. Lefler, superintendent, comes the respon ibility of the unit as a whole. Officially called the assistant, Mr. Bim on makes econdary chools such as Lincoln high his special intere t, spending the whole of last year in nation wide travel-study, a year of ob er ance of other chools and method . t this instant plan for curricular revision and further student parti ipation in government are being formulated from sugge tion he has made, through cooperation ith both udents and faculty. f

\Vhen the fir t white commercializers crossed the prairie to these salt spring , 0 street could not e en boast of having been a cow path, as Wall street can. The site was shunned somewhat, so history tell u , a salt Rat were the red kin equivalent of no man's land , and any copper colored gent seen on other business than alt gathering wa liable to be plagued by Hint poi oning. After the salt wells were found to be merely an indifferent supply of slightly briny water and the fickle easterners had pushed on for "them thar hills" and points west, a band of but thirty persons of mainly agricultural means was left. The e were,-,history again,-,a rather disgruntled lot anyway, just like Lo Angeles citizens if Hollywood were suddenly depopulated. This then was Lincoln in 1867, when an enthusia tic state as embly made it the capital.

\Vhen those eastern commercializers left town, the Lincoln of today, an educational center with smokeless and noisefree skies was born. We became the capital city , the university city, a mall new metropolis of unindustrialized learning.

How actually does Lincoln high make itself a part of Lincoln? Students through school cooperation wor.k part -time in various local enterprises. Police come to the chool to safety - educate, to register bicycles , to explain regulations. Students regularly show best work and methods of achieving it at open house , when parents and patrons see how things are coming.

Lincoln has grown trees instead of smoke stacks, school bells in place of five o'clock whistles. Thus today is being prepared tomorrow's Mr. Smith and Miss Jone , perhaps a President Smith,-,even Springfield was urprised.

Twenty-fifth a nni v ersaries affect almost ever y one , and in varying ways. A business firm may make them an ~ccasion to get rid of some sto c k wh ic h the other guy got in for Christma s ; establi s hments with Republican l e aning s may put the fact on their letterheads a s mark of endurance and a challenge to the ew Dealers ; Democratic owned enterprises will do the same and claim it as evidence proving that business is behind the President.

A s c ore-and - five years ago Lincoln was just opening a new building, on~ not long from the sc hool board table and tax proposals.

Student s entering the new school twentyfi v e y ears ago , in the fall of 1915 could hardly belie v e it ju s t a c hool. Shining marble stairs and railing s, plentiful rooms, exciting new facilitie s -few c ould find any faults, except the fact that it wa s "miles from nowhere" for some Attending the new palace built on the cit y ' s old cir c u s g round s wa s wonderful.

The two decades and a half do not weigh on our building. Why life doesn't even begin to begin until thirty I L. H. S. is barely of voting age, not "Old L H. S." by a long, long, shot.

Indeed, the place has improved, grown and mellowed, let us say. The auto mechanics, printing, electric , and woodwork shops and classroom facilities in the addition bring opportunities never dreamed of by the original occupants of the building.

When national defense needs called on Lincoln high the building was able to respond. ow formerly unused basement spaces have been turned into classrooms for workers who wish to• brush up on a national defense trade, and after regular school hours the program moves upstairs to the shops.

Ever adaptant to new edu c ational developments, the school recently installed the sound system, and now radio programs , announcements , and student dramas are piped into the classroom.

A score or more of graduating groups have left these doors, doors opening still to more of young Lincoln, doors that have seen the unknowing become educated and take their pla c es in the eternal scheme. How changed from the old carnival times , and how well changed!

school day begins before 8: 00 a. m

Mea urement of time is a most important, yet tedious and limiting part of Harold C. Mardi ' life. Time enters the scene for a more important role than that of merely ordering his hours of rising and going to bed. Time makes itself evident in all his activities,-,limiting and demanding.

Before 8: 00 a. m. each day Lincoln high' s principal arriv s inconspicuou s ly. In a moment he is in his office, literally plunging into early morning miscellany. Pre-s c hool conferences c rowding in, sound system announcements to edit, and then perhaps it's lime to preside over an assembly, or initiate sophomores into the mysteries of requirements, grades, and extracurricular activities at one of their weekly convocations. Thus b gins a characteristic day for 1r. 1ardis.

\Vhat is the posit i on of a principal 7 What duties is he expected to perform in any school da ? These are questions easier to ask than to answer , for his working hours involve decisions demanding the exe c utive, psychologist, and educator. His work is mu c h more than merely presiding at a shiny desk in a large room plastered with bool<s, certificates, and pictures. "Groups-with-an-idea" demand appointments, the mails bring a wide variety of time consuming questionnaires from inquisitive sources , and prospective employers write for graduates ' school records. or are community groups content with his mere attendan c e at their gatherings,-,he must serve as a speaker, offi c er, and committee member . Everyday, little heard of

work such as this calls for time , time which often overshadows purely administrative duties about school.

The drama coach enters his private office with a play script , telling Mr. lardis that a ca t ha been as embled , scenery made, and his presence is desired at a dres rehearsal. Familiar to all Lincoln high dramatl ts , hi lmee - stilling mile ha given that extra push to many an uncertain actor. Dropping in on the shop , he talks about scenery and suggest s improvements. changes and special effects that audiences have seen and talked about, not knowing their surprising author. or is he but a "white-collar s ugge s ter" , for as an amateur mechanic and arti s t , he will work out an idea in leisure time at home to offer the play committees.

Twice a month after cla s s time find him c onducting teacher 'meetings , "faculty forums " where he interprets s c hool policy to meet current problems, and passes on ideas he has gleaned from reading, superintendent's conferences, and edu c ational conventions. But no matter how full his day, student ' personal interest problems , and worl< may have a part in hi schedule.

Hobbyist , omnivorous reader, artist, father , all of the foregoing make it clear why H. C. 1ardis has not merely the respect, but also the friendship of tho e who know him. There can be no successful organization without an effecti e leader.

A rare and gifted per s on, IL Oli ia Pound can counsel and . help painle sly, mend trouble . direct future , moo th path , the recipients of these works hardly av are of her vital role. Thus he remains to some only the as istant principal and the occupant of 210.

But uch activities an not always go unnoticed and unsung , for Miss Pound has a daily gro,ving legion of girls and fellow whom she has befriended and ad ised. Befriended and advised , ith more than a pal on the back and a "Good work", too. Being a practical good angel, with the help of other anonymous facult y members she ha given le fortunate girls the opportunity to avail themsel es of many of the neces ary "extras" of life. Employment and other life worries are made le s s worri ome by thi quiet, di ' tinguished lady of the school. Hundred thank you and c all you their sincere friend , tea c her , and colleague, Miss Oli ia Pound.

To write a plaintive, dextrose-like text on 1r. Hackman would be curling Lincoln's beard, or putting red, white, and blue ribbons in \ Vashington's wig. Otto Hackman is just not like that. That is not the way fellows in Lincoln high school see him,.......,for he is not a f starry-eyed idealist beaming from behind an empty desk. He is one of the boy , the kind of man all young men enjoy talking to. Boys that come from the lower grades to begin referring to him as " old man Hacl<man", leave calling him "Mr. Hackman" in pleasant remembrance and re pect, a feeling coming from the help he has given them in their personal problem He take the attitude that " obody is a nobody" , treats each tudent without bia and with a sincere belief in him. Thus room 211 is not a place for sentences of punishment but a place for help in olving everyday situations of both home and chool, a place where man-to-man talks find jobs, improve grades, and mold lives.

A practi ca l good angel

When the air in the conference room is still, when the ink is dry on the plans, after conjecture has become written words, then comes the hardest task of all, that of doing. That job falls to the capable and human staff called a "faculty", composed of men and women educated to educate.

"Men and women educated to educate." Yet. those six words leave a thousand unsaid, a thousand words telling of life courses charted, great Americans sent along the way to their greatness, and this done nine months out of every year by ninety-one unassuming persons. These help build America in as many thousand ways,......,yet they would laugh at anyone wishing to give them a medal.

All are members of our community. They pay taxes, worry about the drouth, politics, and the war. They know the happiness of Christmas at home and family life. They are a superlatively human group of 1941 Americans.

Let's lool{ at a few. Many of them have ~a ter' s degrees from such institutions as

Jorthwestern, ebraska, Chicago, and Columbia. A science teacher lacks only an internhip from being a doctor of medicine. An instructor in the English department has twice been a state legislator, is on many national educational committees. Once a resident of Paris and an inveterate world traveler, a French instructor is another example of Lincoln high teaching talent. When past experiences are discussed in f acuity groups, world travel is almost a prerequisite for entrance into story-telling. Two faculty members have published authoritative books on their subjects. A rather startling fact is that many could easily find high places outside of the classroom. Why don't they seek easier and perhaps more remunerative fields? Why do they follow one of the most difficult and changing professions?

There is only one obvious answer. They are behind our generation; they want each new group leaving their hands to go prepared to give us new citizens with the greatest chance to make a better life for themselves.

It's all because "wipe-and-polishers" under Edwin Geistlinger look after the school and act as collective "mothers" by each evening weeping and dusting myriad rooms to remove traces of students' "p i cnic" habits. "Building Maintenance" is an official title hiding a loyal army which ha the welfare of the premises in conscientiou mind.

Those in the mass of onlookers at a performance of some student production may see only glittering costumes, colorfully changing lights, and interestingly acted dialogue. They may not get as far as the acknowledgments footing the programs, and if that far , noticing the custodians mentioned, they probably wonder why "anybody can't turn on tho e lights." "Anybody" no doubt can, but your "anybody" can't and probably wouldn't con ider hanging backdrops, and mounting specia l Hies high in the lofts of the stage. To prepare for a stage show, top and foot lights are checked, scenery and heavy props are placed, the stage and auditorium are cleaned, and ticket booths put up. Before the actors have wiped the last red smear from their faces, cu todians are cleaning all again, removing properties from the stage, disposing of waste,....."picking up" after th em.

Silent and dependable, not glamorous or dramatic, these men and women are the white corpuscles of th is body, keeping it in repair and livably comfortable.

Twenty minutes after eight any school day finds the students of Lincoln high in home room. The· more conscientious use this period to brush up for the last time on a physiology test or history report. The less industrious are just bored. Home room period is the only time of day when those who make the school are engaged neither in Latin, shop, nor home economics, but are simply playing their inconspicuous roles as "just students". By chronological reckoning and credit hours these studying or yawning persons are divided into three classes: seniors, worldly wise juniors, and cautious sophomores.

Seniors to the casual observer are no different from the sophomores but annually class rivalry reappears, even if clothed in out-door merriment in olympics, and in studious palaver during the interclass debate tournament.

Late in spring comes olympics day ....... gloriomi, sunny (usually) holiday of abandon when L. H. S. "takes the day off" for a happily riotous time of combat, picnic, and general celebration. Squirrel-tailed cars dripping students, streamers, and white-wash signs keynote the ardently youthful scene when classes vie for championship in mass athletics. But win or lose, all celebrate the day to the exhaustion of their senses.

Less gala and spe~tacular, but equally representative, the interclass debate tournament attracts many students interested in speech and argumentation. After competition within classes, the successful pairs of the three contests debate to decide the victor. Winning names are then engraved on the Downer-Stewart cup, called thus in honor of its first winners.

In all other matters, studies, clubs, and informal groups, distinction between classes means little. It is fast being lost in a new unity of the school as a whole. All are, as home room period betrays them, just students.

Members of the class of '41 would protest loudly at any story of their entering Lincoln high school as naive little elves. True, they did have some trouble with locker combinations, and finding home rooms in the odd corners of the building, but they were on the whole quite unimpressed by these expected triHes of high school life. After the feaTful newness of breathing in these hallowed halls had been blown away, they began acting like hardened veterans. Elevator tickets and reserved seats in the cafeteria were old jokes and school became the business at hand. They studied, some much, some a little, joined a dub, just one at first, and began to recognize other class members after a get-acquainted party. The Mimes

assembly presentation of scehes from A Midsummer Night's Dream made them realize the potentialities of their class, and their sophomore year ended with forty-oners treading a autious path but nevertheless at home in their high school surroundings.

As juniors they adopted a new easiness, and a self-assured attitude. In the interclass debate tournament Arthaud and Johnston out-argued the senior winners to make a junior team win the intramural championship. The Youngest was chosen for the junior play of that year, and class members became actors for a night in a creditable performance. Olympics in the spring was a much sung junior victory over the surprised seniors. The juniors ·weren't sur-

~1iss Martin and t-- liss Jones puzzle over a bit of class business

prised at alI. The year ended with forty-oners well versed i"'- the ways of a high school and quite ready t~ take over as seniors.

Their senior year was the routine business of keeping school honors in the family. A fall performance, the senior play was The Goose Hangs High. ' Difficult enough to demand the best in senior talents, it won its audience's whole hearted approval. The business of amassing sufficient credit hours, making plans for university or after-graduation jobs, and competing for the regents scholarships consumed most of their last semester. In May there was a last class party, graduation in June, and then their high school experience ·was over.

Baskets and buckets of thanks are due those understanding sponsors of the class of '41, Miss Gertrude Jones and Miss Irene Mar-

tin. They are the good fairies who okayed the ice cream for the sophomore party, and painted class members' faces for olympics, and quietly encouraged nervous actors in the class plays. F orty-oners shall ever be indebted for their behind-the-scenes-inHuence that made class undertakings successful.

As they were about to finish their three years in Lincoln high school some found time to stop and consider their stay. The school. its teachers, the marble bordered halls, the Hoodlighted oval. the studies they had taken, the clubs they had joined , the things they had done and dreamed, the friends they had made, all had inHuenced them in some way great or small. All, had they been asked, would have admitted that though they later become ministers, chemists, salesmen, or teachers, Lincoln high had made a lasting impression on them.

Membership in the national honor society is one of Lincoln high' s ways of saying "Thanks" for a job well done. Students who are members have illustrated by their records their character, scholarship, leader hip in organization and activities, and service to the chool. Let no one think of them as exceptional in the ense of being infallible prodigie ; they are just hard working students who have experienced high school to the hilt, and prof. ited by it.

ot content to be mere medal wearer . they as ume tasks of special respon ibility. At registration time they help puzzled sophomores plan schedules, and during the yearly school elections they manage the voting places and count ballots.

With these energetic, interested students who have made the most of their high school experience, membership in the national honor society i truly a case of honor to whom honor is due.

SECOND

While the sophomore worries about finding the next classroom, the senior about what he is going to do after graduation, the junior feels that the s c hool is his own. He is looked up to by the sophomore , is recognized by the teachers, and is allowed to exist in the senior e s timation. He participates in many school activities and turns out some excellent performances in his class's annual production.

This year the juniors, under the guidance of 1rs. Loretta G. Babich and Mrs. Fran c es Rein, chose, adverti s ed, and produced their own

play, One Mad Night. It was, let it be known by all, a success.

The interclass debate, as always, attracted many juniors. Jerry Ryan and Russell Scharman succeeded in going to the finals of the tournament, but lost out to seniors. The juniors competed in olympics with customary enthusiasm and were well represented on athletic teams, first line as well as reserve in most cases.

In less competitive activities too, the class of '42 showed its prowess. The Advocate staff

was composed mainly of members of this class and for the twelfth time won all-American rating from the national scholastic press association.

In most ways, to be sure, a junior is indistinguishable from his older or younger brother. He takes his place in the dubs and in many of them proves his dependability by assuming offices of responsibility.

The junior, in short, is a real and vital part of the school, a part that one would hate to give up.

From • the outsider's point of view , it may seem that the sophomores have done little or nothing. This is understandable for it is enough, it would seem, to become accustomed to the 35-minute lunch period and the room numbering system used by Lincoln high.

To acquaint the incoming sophomore with the school and its customs , H. C. Mardis conducts a series of assemblies concerning club s credit hours, curriculums, and other matters of interest and importance. This oifers indispensable help to the proverbially bewildered new-comer in untangling the maze of red tape and impedimenta that ever accompany one' s first year in high s c hool.

Another help given the forty-threer in planning a successful high school career is the conference with a member of the national honor society that comes with six - semester registration.

There is a sophomore party held in ea c h fall at '"'' hi c h sophomore talent i s exhibited , s opho -

more acquaintances made, and sophomore hunger alleviated The latter takes the form of dixie cups in the sanctum of the cafeteria:

Do not be disillusioned at the seeming ignorance of the sophomore, however , because the sophomores have done something. There was a very commendable Mimes assembly , for instance. Again, there were Richard Henschke and Harold Luedtke, sophomore contenders for interclass debate champions. ever think there are no athletic classmen either. In track there are Dorald Hughes, Bob Shuchman, and Wall ace :Munro. Swimmers are Jim Water s and Don Myers. The baseball team has Harold Ja c obs and Bob Jacobsen while on the tennis courts there are Don McArthur and Charles Rawson. In golf there is one outstanding sophomore, Lee Knopp.

Class sponsors who have helped the sophomores through the year are Mrs . Gladys Temple , Miss Ethel B. Beattie, Miss Jennie Piper , and Miss Nancie Jane Wallace.

Lincoln high has many of the characteristics of a small town. We have our business,......,the classwork. We have our avocations,......,extracurricular acti ities. We have our government. But what would existence in a small town be without the off-the-record "just living" which gives it spiciness and zest? either are we in L. H. lacking in the latter.

· Be a stranger with me for a minute and let us travel through this small town which is our school. Let us notice the wide-awake citizens of the community. Let us watch them as they "just live". At first the halls seem like a scurrying mass of humanity. But soon this mass eparates into individuals as it becomes familiar to us.

A few serious-mind~d students, bent on some important errand we are sure, stride purposefully down the hall. Our sentimental hearts beat sympathetically upon observing an L man leaning lackadaisically against the wall playing the swain to an awe-stricken Pepper. Some civic minded students gaze earnestly at the graphic tuberculosis campaign posters on the walls. The posters are Lincoln high' s equivalent for the small town's billboards.

But, Columbia the Gem of the Ocean T Here comes the Tavy. A former student becomes a popular hero when he dons his meticulous sailor uniform. We have noticed several cogs in the bulwark of the navy roaming the halls lately. In their wake follow myriads of starry eyed sophomores who love to bask in the worldly significance these aspir-

But we ar~ hungry and so we go to the cafeteria. Of · course we wouldn't think of eavesdropping ; but we can't help overhearing some side remarks. One lovely lass is alternately worrying over a forthcoming French test and sipping vegetable soup.

Kindred spirits find each other in the confusion of the rush to lunch. They jam the happenings of the school morning into 35 min- . utes of lively intercourse over their meals. We overhear comments on a disappointing test grade , the psychological peculiarities of a certain teacher, a critical opinion on the latest best selling novel, excited eulogies of that new evening frock. an approving remark about the dandelion campaign. Students run the gamut while partaking of the mid-day meal.

But now we have finished our meal. It is spring aRd we feel like a stroll. We join other groups who have heard the call of the wild. Their chatter challenges the spring noises as they promenade on the terrace and peep in the windows at other students still bent diligently over lessons.

Inside, a student hall guard pursues the straight and narrow path of law enforcement. The spring fever which infects the boys and girls makes his task doubly difficult. With Spartan persistence he manages to keep the closed corridors clear.

Our trip must end now, for we too are a part of this community. When the bell rings for class to commence we must cease our wanderings and studiously resume our lessons.

English is more than a language. It is Hesh and blood. It is emotion and idea. Teaching English, therefore, must be more than relaying the rules of the mother tongue to young minds. It must import the human significance of our common expression. We feel gratified that in Lincoln high there is no humdrum textbook learning, but instead, stimulation of interest by actually living with our language. For example in our English 11, we do not stop at simply reading and being awed by the rhyme of Browning and Masefield. That is only the beginning. We seek to emulate the bards in our own original poetry. Nothing else can so successfully stimulate observation and evoke effort.

In the English 20 course we are inquisitive enough to wish to try things for ourselves. On walking into the English 20 class one may see a young Thespian smearing on brown greasepaint for a characterization of Topsy. Practical application is the keynote in this course.

English literature subjects are by no means confined to time-tested classics. An English 19 student can talk both about conservation of soil and the art of movie making, because he's found out about them in that new general reading course.

It would cheer those who worry about the moral demise of the younger generation if they could witness the tremendous enthusiasm which is generated in English courses.

There is a different satisfaction in saying a first "merci beaucoup", or " buenos noches ", and reading with not too much difficulty the first page of your assignment , in a foreign language. At least that L the way most foreign language students remember their first brush with Latin or a modern language.

Preferring to learn the chief root of the romance languages fir s t , most students begin their studies with Latin . Here they read the adventures of Publius, a Roman boy of the Augustan age, follo\-v Cae s ar ' s Gallic war s with his terse notebooks, and finally study the · Roman political system with Cicero ' s orations or trace Aeneas' course from Virgil.

The modern languages too, French, German, and Spanish; are studied in a like way. Students begin with simple notes about school. home , and the language's homeland, and these stories are interspersed with poems, philosophical proverbs, and folk songs. As the y advance, French students follow the adventures of little Pierre, Publius' French colleague. German students read of the exploit s of Emil, of detective fame , and Spanish students meet Pepito, both being friends of Publius and Pierre.

Besides learning to read and write these foreign languages, the student begins to feel a new kinship with the peoples they represent. As he reads these races' literatures and hear s his tea c hers tell stories of the people the y met and the things they saw abroad, he gains a new insight into foreign customs , and r ealizes with a new assurance that it is a small and friendly world after all.

Through the social studies department a student learns more definitely the value of his peculiarly American system of government, and what his social responsibilities are in such a system.

The more adventurous beginning students study the subjects of Plutarch's thumb-nail sketches and early civic aHairs in Greek and Roman history. Every student is required to -take modern history, and here discovers feudalism and the industrial revolution, plus the conquests of Napoleon and the Metternich system besides numerous other historic factors that have created modern Europe. American history 1 takes the student from Christopher Columbus' discoveries to the Civ~l war, and American history 2, another requirement, finishes with present 'day problems. In American 2, students thoroughly dissect the constitution and learn why they have their various civil freedoms. Economics and modern social problems are offered to give special attention to matters of present day social importance.

What makes society tick and how it started t:cking that way are the chief topics a student studies in the social studie department. How our government funct:ons in contrast with other forms, what the state legislature does in passing a bill, the beginnings of democracy, these are only a suggestion of what each American citizen should know, and every student learns.

Almost every student, at some time in his high school experience, finds himself in one of the science department's courses, be it biological or physical. Each prospective engineer must have his physics and chemistry, and each arts and science student may try ten hours of the same, or examine living organisms in biology, botany, zoology, or physiology. This year students in the biological sciences conducted a second semester campaign to inform the student body about tuberculosis. Posters and blackboard signs appeared in every available space, and the sound system carried a daily slogan on the subject. Students were urged to have a tuberculin test if possible, and the program also advocated plenty of rest, a sound diet, and more considerate social health habits. It is hardly sufficient to say that this group performed an inestimable service to the school.

• Another must for the future engineers and the arts and science students is study in mathematics department. Almost every student struggles through algebra 1 and 2, and memorizes the findings of Pythagoras and other scholars in plane geometry. Many take secondary mathematics and learn proficiency in daily applications of mathematics. Some, the most brave, go on to •the factoring formulas and graphs of algebra 3 and 4, finally to solid geometry and the rites of the slide rule in senior math.

Many students, believing they are mentally s uperior in having at last reached solid geometry, are quite perturbed to find that one teacher uses children ' s blocks to illustrate the figures.

The most enjoyable part of plane geometry is the field trip on the school grounds, when students put their newly learned theorems to practical use in finding the heights of buildings and measuring dist~nces.

Making and choosing clothes, preparing food, sewing a fine seam, and choosing styles and colors to suit individual needs, making a garment of cotton, linen, rayon, wool, or silk are phases of home economics.

In the kingdom of the kitchen boys and girls in separate classes prepare and serve meals. The vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, sugars, proteins, and the other what not that make our daily diet are studied and evaluated.

Cafeteria assistantship, an elective course for students with one semester of cooking, gives a student a chance to help serve the food sold in the cafeteria. This course, desirabJ e for those pupils who wish actual experience in jobs involving serving of foods to the public, may help earning capacities later.

Home economics students have helped turn the teachers lounge into an attractive room by maldng chintz draperies and re-upholstering the furniture in an attractive blue, and have made cot covers for the nurse's room, draperies to line the sound system room, and armbands for the Advocate staff, office, and traffic squad members. Aprons for home economics 5 and 11 were mended by the beginning seamstresses; costumes and scenery for plays and for Joy Tight were turned out with professional art.

Through trades preparatory training students are given an opportunity to lear~ a trade before the y _ leave high school. Through their studies the y may become au t o mechanics, printers, el e ctricians, draftsmen, or carpenters. Each student may specialize in only one subject, and his mechanical aptitude determines whether he will learn the mysteries of the automobile motor's vital innards, or the difference between an AC and a DC circuit.

As his working knowledge of the subject and job efficien c y increase, the courses become more technical until the student is working under actual job conditions In auto mechanics, teachers' cars and students' jalopies become laboratory specimens for student mechanics In the print shop student printers set t ype and manage the press for the Irving News, Lin c oln high s chool style c ard and handbook. and programs for plays, assemblies , and graduations. During the installation of the sound system , students of electrical trades helped in putting in •the cable , and carpentry students gained experi e nce in actual construction while working on a c abin at the scout camp.

To gain proficien c y in reading blue prints and drawing plans for various types of jobs , many preparatory trades students take me c hanical drafting and learn how to wield a T square and a draftsman's ruler.

When the need for training workers in national defen s e trades called on the school. the school shop s were able to respond, and now when the high s c hool students leave at 3: 10 the national defense classes move out of their basement and take over the shops in shifts until morning.

Art students are fortunate in studying their c ourses in well lighted , airy quarters in the addition. To in s pire them in the spring they have a fresh plot of green in front of their window s, and in the winter there are the snow clothed bushes outside their studios to give them impressions for new forms.

For a g e neral introduction to art many students atta c k art appreciation , a survey c ourse in painting, archite c ture , and sculpture. Here they study the techniques of the great masters, and learn the stories of their paintings. Rembrandt etching and Phiqias marble are made forever real to the uninitiated. While taking the cour s e students go on field trips , to the capitol building to study architectural forms, to Morrill Hall to see the modern painting and s c ulpture in the art collection, and frequently to private homes.

Students with c reative ability improve their work by developing line and composition in elementary design, and learn an individual technique from their practice in drawing c ourses.

For this past year the s c hool cafeteria has been c onsiderably brightened with student life murals made b y students of the art department. In three arched panels , the murals' clear lines picture students at work in the carpentry shops , a boy in home economics mixing a pancake batter, two companion figures of a girl and boy studying , and a drum major Hanked by two twirlers.

"Preparation for bu iness ," one says in thinking ofthe c ommercial department. "Preparation for living " i more nearly the truth. Spending time preparing lessons, keeping within one's budget, scrutinizing bills , filing one ' s papers-the te c hnique learned in commerc ial classes i quite as important as being ready for one ' future vocation.

Learning a new system of filing names based upon the sound of letters, a system rapidly being adapted by several Lin c oln firms and by offices in the state capitol along with typewriting transcription from the dictaphone or direct from the speaker are exciting phases of the newly organized clerical practi c e class. Uses of the comptometer and the mimeograph, important aspects of the office practi c e class, are also tried out.

Actual experience in business comes to the student in the distributive trades classes where he may work in a downtown store for pay and credit half of the day, attending classes part-time.

The soft strains of some waltz usher the early play comer into the auditorium and until the play begins and between acts the theater orchestra, a part of the full Lincoln high school orchestra, continues to entertain the visitor. The orchestra also plays for the opera, and has an important part in the mid-year concert and the several vesper programs. Perhaps this year's

most outstanding piece of work was accom.panying the choir in the Ballad for Americans. Most of the fifty odd student musicians advanced into the orchestra from one of the preparatory groups, and now with daily rehearsals maintain that style that so distinguishes the organization. No little credit for the success of the orchestra is due Bernard F. Nevin, an able and nationally known conductor.

With a crash of cymbals and a blare of trumpets the Lincoln high school band begins its daily rehearsals. During the first weeks of the first semester the band plays only marches and school songs in preparation for football time, and practices marching and drills in the oval.

This year, after several seasons of fund raising and anticipation, band members appeared in their new uniforms, and game goers were pleasantly surprised when the oval lights made bright brilliant red coats with gold and black braid, trim red and black shakos with yellow plumes, and gleaming pants with a red side stripe.

During the football season the band played host to the Scottsbluff high school band for the

Scottsbluff-Lincoln game. Making one colorful unit. the two bands took the field to play several pieces together to the delectation of the interested spectators.

As the football season draws to a close the band prepares music for the vesper concerts. l\'larches are filed away one by one and the overtures and ballads replace them on the music racks.

As the first semester ends the basketball band takes formation. The basketball games continue into the second semester; then the band practices for more concerts.

At the end of the year room 131 no longer rings with the music from sixty-five husky lungs. Until the next September the corridors and rooms remai in silence.

Three first period during a school week one may notice a masculine resonance permeating the halls of Lincoln high school. and if he were to trace it to its choral origin he would discover some half-a-hundred male students of the junior and senior classes responding to Hugh T. Rangel er' s direction as they recline on the front few rows of the seats in the auditorium.

In public appearances they present themselves in the contrast of brief white mess jackets, dark trousers topped off with white shirts and black bow ties. Each is slimmed up with a red sash about the waist.

Four-parting their martial and lighter music, the boys glee dub ha allowed Lincolnites numerous worth the time concerts.

The sixty-five voices which make up the girls glee club are among the most select in the junior class. They are most remembered for their splendid work in the last Chri tmas assembly when they and the boys glee performed antiphonally with the choir. The girls glee climaxed Joy ight as usual by performing with precision which showed many hours of earnest labor under the competent direction of Miss Helen Stowell. It is because of their earnestness and pleasing voices that this group is in constant demand throughout the city.

A lively hundred seniors of Lincoln high school's student body gather in the auditorium second period each day to vocalize, join in choruses, intersperse an occasional solo. all in the ~Ieneral endeavor to witness a pleased smile brighten Mr. Rangeler' s countenance and satisfy their own desire to succeed musically. That their efforts accomplish the purpose for which they are designed is well illustrated by the number of invitations to sing sent the choir

by various civic organizations and the response to vesper concerts at which the choir appears. Sincere congratulations were given the choir for an inspiring Christmas Vesper and for a capable rendition of the Ballad for Americans. With the presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore the choir has completed another year of pleasant participation and satisfying performances in this field of expression.

At 8: 30 or perhaps 9: 40 on some pecial school day, the auditor~um will be filled with expectant students waiting to enjoy an assembly. Assembly programs are a definite part of the educational fare of Lincoln high school. and under Miss Jessie B. Jury's guiding hand they are by turn informative , entertaining, and in pirational.

On the i~formative li t this year were talks on current affair , American government, and person a I health. Speaking during Constitution week. Chief Justice of the ebraska Supreme Court Robert G. Simmons, told about his trip to Valley Forge, and why he thought the American colonists fought the Revolution, and why the students should defend their stake in American society. On Armistice day, District Judge E. B. Chappell analyzed foreign isms and repeated in stirring words why we can be proud to live in America. Wendell Berge, chief of the criminal division of the United States Department of Justice , reminisced about his student l experiences in Lincoln high school. and told about the workings of the department of justice. In probably one of the most intelligent and worthwhile a semblies of the year, Dr. Frank L. Rector. of Evanston, Illinois, explained the causes, symptoms, and treatment of cancer. State day then brought James E. Lawrence, editor of the Lincoln Star, who gave some interesting historical impressions of the pioneers who made ebraska pos ible. On Pan -

American Day, Jose Carvalho told of his native Brazil. and entertained students with stories of Brazilian schools.

There are some assemblies that bridge the gap between the informative and the entertaining and are both to a certain degree. In this category were a movie on conservation, telling how man has learned to cooperate with nature, and several movies on national defense a.nd American sea power provided by the United States Navy.

Assuredly the most entertaining assembly of the year was Oz Black's farewell appearance before he moYed to Minneapolis. In his memorable way he caricatured many a faculty member to the delight of the students. An amateur program was the first product of the home room representatives committee on assemblies. The barber shop trio, Hugh Atkinson, Don Stewart, and John Eberhart, won the contest. Whenever someone is needed to encourage the van or shout halloo in the rear, a cry immediately goes up for Peppers and all of the Peppers do theit' stuff in entertaining rallies held intermittently throughout the sports year.

The inspirational assembly of the year is the one at Christmas time given by the choir. On a stage illuminated only by two blue lighted Christmas trees and thirty - three candles symbolizing the years of Christ's life, the choir sang Christmas carols and hymns, as a group, with the audience, and antiphonally with the boys and girls glee.

\~!hen a sophomore first votes in the choice of his home room representative and alternate, he has a new experience in democracy. After that. whenever he wants to voice an opinion for the improvement of the school or wishes to

obtain information about some activity, he speaks to his representative.

• The duties of home room representatives are varied and curious, and the greater part is done by committees. This year three new committees

James, Mardis, Holloway, Abbott, B. Coulter, Miller, elson Kuklin, Spomer, Becker, Munson, Ryder, secretary; Jerner, Bomberger, Hansen, Breed

were originated. These were the Pan - American committee, tke clean-up committee, and the committee in charge of assemblies. The PanAmerican committee was responsible for the drawing up of a friendly telegram which was sent from the stage of the auditorium to Brazil's commissioner of education. In an enthusiastic campaign directed by the clean-up committee, the numerous dandelions of the school lawns were exterminated. And not to be out-done by these two, the committee on assemblies originated the idea for an amateur hour which exhibited the talents of pupils. Other equally important committees are the efficiency, club, service, courtesy, scrapbook. bulletin board , stairwell guards, pennant, and cafeteria committees.

Besides the committee work. home room representatives are responsible for keeping the student body informed on school affairs and also for distributing Advocates every Wednesday. In the management of Open House , the representatives act as guides for the execution of a successful event. and the reps, as they are usually called, not only advertise each play and concert. but also usher for these programs. Without this efficient group of planners and workers students would find many important tasks undone, and their school experience much less pleasant

With a group of dependable hard working individuals called the student council rest the student practices and graces of the school. At 2:30 every \Vednesday, this body. composed of twelve seniors, six juniors, and two sophomores, meets to consider business. In the past year this group has taken an increasing part in arousing student interest in participating in the responsibility of managing Lincoln high school. To further this interest the council amended the school constitution to change the method of nominating council members, and now sponsors the citizenship committee.

Prospective council candidates now file for office on their own initiative, and before their names are placed on the ballot they must register a petition for candidacy signed by one hundred student citizens.· This new plan encour-

ages all students actually interested in the council to try for the job, and arouses more interest in council elections among all students.

- The citizenship committee composed of a core of five council members plus ninety-five other students attacks such problems as assembly conduct and cafeteria courtesy. With a view to bettering the standards of group living in Lincoln high, this force quietly reminds the student of his thoughtless actions, and strives to stimulate citizenship thinking that will be of constant value.

The council also makes possible one of the school productions, Joy ight, one of the chief sources of money for the student activity fund; it also stages the sophomore party and sponsors matinee dances.

vVith the steady tramping of feet. 100 men in khaki colored uniforms from the Lincoln Flying school come down the street. two by two, all pushing into the Hi-Y building for their hot lunch. Yes. the Hi-Y club helps build the inner self, physically as well as spiritually.

To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character is the purpose of the Hi-Y, but not only does it teach its members to uphold Christian ideals, it develops boys in leadership and good fellowship. Like political parties, the Hi-Y also has a platform. There are four planks in it: clean living, clean speech, clean scholarship, and dean sportsmanship. \\Tith branches all over the United States, ex-

tending into nearly every community, the Hi-Y is truly a service club.

The Hi-Y club helps build boys mentally. Addresses by aviators, teachers, and missionaries are often a part of the week's program. Motion pictures of football games. comedies, and educational features make for an intensely interesting variety of entertainment.

Ralph Hansen and Joe Toman are the able sponsors who council in cabinet meetings, hire hayracks, and do the thousand and one other things good Hi-Y club sponsors do. Open to all boys in the high school. football players or musicians. the Hi-Y club is a veritable crosssection of LincolDi high.

Based on g r o u p discussions-sometimes amusing , o ft e n thought provoking-public speaking, and drill in parliamentary procedure, the Forum encourages its members to analyze c urrent affairs, enjoy verbal steaming, and gain skill and s elf assurance in speaking on their fe e t.

Unique parts of the club program are the annual meeting to which Forum alumni are invited and the spring banquet, at whi c h chosen Forumites entertain their fellows with after-dinner spee c hes.

Interested in stimulating student responsibility in Lin c oln high, the Forum held an open meeting on the s tate of s tudent participation in the management of the school. From the impetu s of thi s meeting s everal amendments

concerning the nomination of student council members were added to the school constitution. ow prospective candidates file for office, and before their names are placed on the ballot they must register a petition for candidacy signed by one hundred student citizens.

The Faulkner cup contest in oratory is sponsored annually by the Forum for interested orators of the school. From this year ' s nine contestants, three were chosen to present their orations for final judging before an assembl y audience February 13. Competing against Jack \rVenstrand and Morris Coff, Joan Finkle won the cup for her delivery of Litany for Dictatorship by Stephen Vincent Benet. The first girl to win in ten years, Joan rivaled the efforts of her brother, Beverly , who won in 1930.

The group that meets in 306 on odd Wednesdays might object to being called "tomorrow's Miltons" or "young Shakespeares" on the grounds that Milton and Shakespeare had a more pecuniary interest in the Muse than the majority of the writer dub' s members may ever have. The organization merely follows the recently conceived trend towards self expression, the sort of thing that helps one build an appreciation for the work of others, while at the same time allowing others to appreciate the beauty, or wit, or perception in one's own work.

When members are not writing, they are listening to and criticizing the work of their fellows, being shown the style and manner of

writing of others, or perhaps just enjoying a literary experiment in the form of quiz or drama.

The Scribe is the writers club's outlet for expression, though anyone in the school may try for a place on one of its pages. Interest in America and the citizens' responsibility toward it form the theme and dominate the book even to the red, white, and blue cover and the patriotic frontispiece illustration. An interesting new feature of the 1941 Scribe, now starting its second decade, is the section known as Footnotes, giving a personal touch to the authors whose work the magazine represents by telling of their hobbies, ambitions, likes, and dislikes.

The Mummers. a dramatic group of juniors and seniors, applies the recipe of mixing the clown, the Shakespearean, the villain, and the tragedian, pouring this mixture into a mold, and letting it jell to produce a well-balanced diet, pleasing to the tastes of students and public alike, whether served in the form of an annual production, an assembly, or a meeting program.

Not all members are able to participate in the annual Mummers play, but since talent is

needed for the Mummers spring assembly and for one-act plays or sketches in the meetings, each Mummer has a chance to display his skill and gain experience in performing in public at least once during the semester.

The sponsors of the club, Miss Annetta M. ·sprung and Miss Elizabeth Barker, are quick to encourage promising talent and see to it that a sprinkling of drama appreciation is added to the dish that is the Mummers menu.

Sophomores have a dramatic club called the Mimes, in which they may assimilate a few helpful hints on the art of acting. At each meeting a short play is presented by a previously chosen group of members. At the end of the program club members may present criticisms, suggestions, or bouquets to the actors. Thus in helping each other the Mimes have solved the problem of combining the rudiments of acting with fun and entertainment.

The annual Mimes assembly has enthusiastic support from upperclassmen who are anxious to see just what these youngsters can do. This year's assembly program was a dramatic pageant concerning the unremedied social shortcomings of American society. A wellchosen cast performed in elaborate costumes amid the simple stage scenery of the Shakespearean stage. The production revealed an excellent example of Mimes results in Shirley Ann Hinds' portrayal of America.

Junior and senior vocalists. pianists, and instrumentalists of the school find kindred musical spirits and activity to their liking in an organization named the Orpheons.

Delving into the old masters, and performing the moderns in bi-monthly meetings, members have a chance to play in public, and also entertain their fellows. To add variety to this

musical activity some meetings are interspersed with musical quizzes and the biographies of musicians, conductors. and composers.

Besides their interest in music and its background the Orpheons take an active responsibility for the school musical productions. They sponsor the vesper concerts, the mid-year concert, and the opera.

Student artists interested in improving their work and comparing sl<etches with others may be found in the membership of the art dub. By having guest speakers the dub attempts to increase school opportunities in art and help those dub members who may choose art for a vocation. Taking up phases of art for which art classes do not have time, the dub has in the past year listened to talks on architecture, sculpturing, silver and pewter ornaments, and interior decorating besides the usual subjects ,.....,drawing, sl<ctching, and painting.

A great many of the musical sophomores of the school are found in the Clef dub, and since it is composed only of sophomores the club stresses a get-acquainted policy besides its other activities.

Chosen for membership by a try-out, each student has a chance to display his talent in a meeting program, and to gain self-confidence by performing before such a critical audience of fellow classmates.

At an annual picnic in the late spring the sophomores conclude their time in Clef dub, turn the gavel over to the incoming sophomores, and look to greater music laurels as up- • perdassmen.

Interest in the arts is the theme of the Girl Reserves this year Bringing out in each girl her aptitude for art, literature, and drama was a large problem to undertake, but the dub members solved it by discussing these different topics with each other and with leaders active in each field.

A branch of the Young Women's Christian .1 ssociation, the Girl ·Reserves plays an active part in the lives of its members by emphasizing social relationships and vocational guidance. Conferences, committee meetings, and participation in city-wide e v e n t s contribute toward the zestful life of a Girl Reserve.

Cooperation in dub projects and group discussion is the plan of the home economics club, for it is by this method that all of the members of the club can be helped. Such problems as clothing, hair-styling, good grooming, meal planning and preparation, and special diets are successfully solved in meeting discussions with an expert in the desired field.

Eager to help all girls. the club sponsors and finances an annual style show, to which every girl in Lincoln high school is invited. The show displays clothes made by home economics students and appropriate to a high school girl and her budget.

The business girls club i organized to aid future businesswomen in preparing and searching for a job. Compo ed almost entirely of girls whose curriculums prepare them for bu ine s professions, the club invites various guest speakers to tell of the qualifications and requirements of a business girl. To drive home the necessity of having the desirable traits all employers want, such guests speak on the arts of applying for a job, living within a budget, or what an employer expects of his secretary. With such expert guidance and the valuable discussions among the girls themselves, the business girls club can be expected to turn out intelligent and well-versed businesswomen.

Sixty Red and Black Peppers in 1940-1941 exhibited originality and enthusiasm in eight athletic as emblies. Programs featured team introductions and a number of amusing playlets ,-.,Little Red Riding Hood rescuing Grandma Beech, a lively game of Truth and Consequences, a seance with a crystal gazer, and a puppet how.

These eHervescent girls also conducted a sale of paper transfers, which identified the bearer as a Lincoln high school enthusiast.

The Peppers cheered on to victory or portsmanlike defeat Lincoln athletes in five football contests, nine basketball games, two basketball tournaments, and one swimming meet, numerous baseball games, and every track meet.

Composed of major lettermen of any sport sponsored by the school. the L club con titutes the better part of the athletes of the school.

Its sponsors', the coaches, main dutie are to keep the boys well up in their studies and to develop, through the club, a sense of fair play.

The big night for L dubbers is Joy ight and very seldom do they fail to blossom out with an unusual performance.

As an honor of the club the boys who are above average scholastically for three consecutive years are admitted to the national athletic honor society.

1941 has been another Hourishing year for the debate team which won 92 decision debate out of a possible 121 on the question, Resolved: That the power of the Federal Government should be increased. Entering nine tournaments, Lincoln came out with three firsts ,.....,Benson invitational. Beatrice invitational. and the girls regional,.....,and achieved ranks of distinction in all the tournaments entered. In the state meet, the district one tournament. and the Wesleyan invitational the debaters took second place. When nine out of 38 debate teams ranked uperior at Hastings, Lincoln emerged with two of the nine. At Midland college 44 teams were entered in the tournament and when Lincoln was eliminated in the eighth round, only two schools remained in the contest. \Vhile they were at Doane col-

lege Lincoln's debaters were the only team to rank superior in competition with Holdrege, the 1941 champion

The largest intramural tournament ever held at Lincoln high had an enrollment of J30 students when the first debate got under way. Of these J 30 participants, 60 were juniors, 54 sophomore , and 16 seniors. Resolved: That the daily press should be regulated by a federal press commission, was argued pro and con in 119 decision debates. Although the ophomore champions, Harold Luedtke and Richard Henschke, lost to the junior champions. Jerry Ryan and Russell Scharman, the juniors. were defeated in the final round. Thi win of the seniors entitled the champions, Ronald Doan and Virginia Stuermer, to the interclass debate cup for 1941.

Students have been receiving the Advocate for forty-six years. A picture of the 1941 staff taken in the cradle of the paper, the third Hoor port-hole windowed tower room of the central McKinley building, gives a foretaste of the golden anniversary to be celebrated soon. The staff has also started to trace past managing editors to discover how many have continued in the field of journalism.

l ew in style of headlines, the Advocate, school paper, won, for the twelfth time, AllAmerican rating from the national scholastic press association. This is more difficult than some may believe as staff positions are c hanged every six weeks to enable a person to try his hand at various types of work.

The Advocate sponsored over the sound system a five-minute morning news broadcast which not only advertised important daily events at school. but disclosed the startling world happenings of the day gleaned by the newscaster from a 7: 30 a. m. scrutiny of a city newspaper's report.

The idea of a school Hag introduced and promoted through the Advocate office ended in the adoption of a Hag designed by Ronald Doan.

Staff me~bers worked especially hard on a six-page Christmas issue. ot only were they obliged to handle more copy than was required for the regular four-page paper, but they had to sell 200 inches of advertising in order to finance the extra two pages. They were rewarded for their efforts with a gift from the printers of green ink for the front sheet.

Constant advertising and space in the Advocate herald nearness of productions. The paper also plays up extracurricular activities, as well as unusual work performed in studies, and new •features planned by faculty and administrators.

The Advocate poll on the presidential election resulted in a close victory for \Villkie. Other polls throughout the semester are conducted on important issues through the distribution of questionnaires.

First semester leaders were Ghita Hill, Dorothy Carnahan, and Marylouise Goodwin, managing editors; Myra Colberg , Frances Clinton , and Charlotte Hill , news editors. \Vinifred Nelson, Maurine Crawford, and Richard Harpham , managing editors, and Richard Harpham Monica Ann Alberty, and Phyllis Johnson, news editors, head the second semester staff.

"TttE LINKS will represent in a unique and complete way the spirit of the new Lincoln high school. In this book will be mirrored the life of the school. a life that will become deeper and richer with the broadening of the curriculum and the extension and development of tudent activities. In the school of yesterday, as someone aptly put it, it was the bu iness of the student 'to study and recite, of the teacher to teach and supervise.' In the school of tomorrow there will be even more study than at present but there will also be more education by doing. The student will as ume more of responsibility, will more and more take the initiative. They will be trained for community life by assuming community responsibilities in the school. This development in Lincoln high school will be vividly pictured in THE L1NKs.''

This was the introduction to the 1917 Links by Je;se H. ewlon, then principal of Lincoln high chool. In a greater sen e it is also an introduction to the complete set of twenty-five volumes that bear the title L1 KS and to all such volumes that the future is to bear. For today and tomorrow the aim is the same: to present the school to the school and to show by illustration and application the re ponsibility and initiative Mr. Newlon's paragraph expres es.

The 1941 L1NKS was carried out mainly by student work. Students planned it, wrote it, made out its pages, took its photographs, and financed it.

Among innovations in the 1941 L1 KS are a page on co-recreational sports and a tendency towards more snapshots in such sections as boys sports and publications.

"Que noche tan alegre" in the South American tongue, Spanish, means, "What a gay night," and March 20, 21, 22 gave Lincoln high students and patrons three gay nights.

Joy ight' s scene this year was laid in Rio de Janeiro where there was a continuous air of festivit y.

Preceding the performance Lincoln high must have appeared to a stranger to have been a co:1_servatory of music. Rehear sa ls of aII var· cties were taking place. In one rocm the boys glee would be singing with gusto; in another room, the girls glee. From one comer would drift strains of Frenesi sung by a trio; from another section an orchestra could be heard swinging out on La Conga. Guitars and castanets did their bit to enliven this gala festival.

Nineteen fast-moving acts fiIIed the bilI for the two-hour show. The boys glee gave their custo-

mary first act prelude which served as a teaser for the fun that was yet to come. The girls glee again had charge of the finale which was a colorful Pan-American pageant.

Attractive tap dancers received top honors as far as numbers were concerned, there being more featured dancers than anything else on the program.

The customary Mummers and L dub acts were the only group playlets on the 1941 Joy Night schedule, the rest being a display of individual talent.

The long secret faculty act was the only exception to the rule above. This year the faculty planted a bomb in the midst of their attentive audience. Not only did they go to extremes in their Parade of Fashions but they admitted women members to the cast, an action unheard of for many years.

Joy Night, sponsored by the student council, is the one variety show of the year, where ability of all types is recognized.

tarting the season with another hit, the Mummer presented American Passport by Dana Thomas, November 8 and 9. The dramatic dub' s twenty-fourth annual production was in harmony with this red, white, and blue year featuring current problems and interests.

The play concerns a typical American family, the Hamiltons. When his two children, Dick and Judy, arouse the neighborhood with their cynical attitude toward democra c y, Mr. Hamilton discovers that he has left several strings untied in managing his household. The plot revolves about the reformation of his radic al family.

Patriotic zeal lead the father to replace pie

tures of landscapes and family portrait with those of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and a copy of the Constitution and firmly to c oa c h Louella, the youngest Hamilton, in the pledge of allegiance.

The final s c ene i s brought to a dramatic climax as Hamilton Americani s m triumph over foreign ideologie s , and the Americ a n Hag is carried on the stage.

The Mummers experiment ea c h s e ason in an attempt to produ c e s omething different from the usual high sc hool play. The cast's killful performan c e was eviden c e enough that this y ear' s embr y oni c arti s ts had profited greatly b y their e xperien c e in a Mummers production.

Friday, December 13 , marked the First performance of the two -day running of The Goose Hangs High by Lewis Beach. Although the seniors will not admit being superstitiou , they added Don Stewart to the original cast of thirteen for good luck.

The name The Goose Hangs High refers to the high living and irresponsibility of the lngals children. The twins, home from coilege for the Christmas holidays, are the essence of youth, fuII of effervescence and filial wilfulness, and offer their share of the fun.

The story unfolds their change of heart when pecuniary difficulties engulf their father. The twins leave college to paint scenery and write

In the end, Mr. lngals, with Grandma's Financial backing, becomes the horticulturalist he has always wanted to be, the twins are put on their own, big brother marries Dagmar, and family unity triumphs over smaII town politics and sundry other adversities.

Youngest and favorite member of the cast was Heda , the dog. A bone to Heda for her delightful presence.

A stormy night, a deserted house, secret tunnels, screams, grasping hands reaching out in the dark, and ghosts all added to the fun and mystery of One Mad Night by Jame Reach and the juniors made the most of their mad night, April 25.

Don Cutter comes to his isolated house for peace and quiet in order to complete a play and is met there by John Alden, Priscilla, Mr. Hyde, and Lady Macbeth, all mental patients in disguise from the burned a ylum aero s the way. The performance of each of these characters added much to the success of the play. Lucille Marcy is being kept prisoner in the house by conniving Artemus Burke who is stealing her money. Although play goers were certain Don Cutter would manage a happy denouement, the frequency of startling events never allowed them to relax.

Bits about the play: Richard Toren was the tudent director, the first boy to hold that po-

sition. The one stage setting, including torn wallpaper and furniture loaded with sheets, was appropriate for the illusion of a haunted house.

It was another Gilbert and Sullivan uccess year at Lincoln high when the parting of the curtains revealed the choir in H.M.S. Pinafore, May 23-24.

Boys came forth in sailors' garb and girls in hooped skirts with pantaloons peeking underneath to sing the beloved songs of Pinafore.

The plot involves a mistaken identity between Captain Corcoran and sailor Rackstraw, who were mixed up as babes, the "ruler of the queen's navee," Sir Joseph Porter, and his unrequited love for Josephine, the captain's daughter, and the final reunion of the persons concerned with the ladies of their choice. A merry bumboat lady, Little Buttercup, is left

with ex-Captain Corcoran, and new Captain Rackstraw sees fit to marry his once-superior's daughter, Josephine.

With many chances to earn emblems and letters, most girls who are truly interested in athletics have little trouble in working their way into possession of these tokens, which the girls athletic association offers. Finished off with an intramural tournament are baseball, basketball, speedball, and swimming. Regular tournaments are scheduled in the spring and fall for golf, archery, and tennis. Girls not especially sldlful in any one sport, but intere ted in all may earn an emblem by selling candy at seventy-five per cent of the games or by attending s eventy-five per cent of the asso-

Thus the girl athletic association provide fun, comradeship, and healthful play for girls, and meetings o fascinating that member usually stay for the whole interesting program even if it extends past four o'clo " k.

Continuing to hold the intere s t of the juniors and seniors who played last season, spee dball attracted so many soyhomores this year that, besides the senior and junior team s, two sophomore teams were selected. The four-team tournament shows the advance made from the humble beginnings of speedball three years ago, when only enough girls came out to make up two teams.

The three-day tournament in blustery oember winds gave victory to the seniors, do ely followed by the juniors.

The clean hard swoosh of an arrow was heard often thi fall when all girls athletic a ociation followers of Robin Hood appeared , eager to win the archer y tournament in that merry Englishman's best style.

From all the confusion and noise which surrounds a contest in archery, Helen Be cker emerged as winner with Maxine Pettigrew hooting her way to second pla ce. With true arrows and a stout bow , Donna Hall edged out Betty McLeod for third place.

Though ome may hold that golf is a man's game, there are plenty of girl in Lin c oln high school who might conte t that statement as erroneous. Proof of that contention was the golf tournament last fall. Though the full nine holes of the last round could not be completed, the four finalists earned awards.

Emblems went to Fern Freeman, Betty Coulter, and Winifred Hall, who made their first appearance in the top four; Joan Kinsey, a sen ior , re c eived her letter.

All of the tricks, turns , and twi ts which go to make up a good tennis player have been the seri ous objects of study for Lincoln high sch ool's after-school tennis players. Out of all this effort, came the fall tennis tournament where players fought briskly and well, making use of their hard learned strohs. In the semifinals Virginia ull and Jane Lawrence gave way to Betty ye and Marion W allesky, with l'v larion winning the final contest.

Led by Eunice Way, the enior girls basketball team competed victoriously in the interclass tournament, and won 24-22 against the juniors.

The four teams which participated in this year's contest were selected from about ninety girls who invaded the gymnasium before Christma and worked from then until March perfecting oHensive and defensive playing form.

The tournament, entered by about thirty more contestants than ever before , showed that girls in increasing numbers are appreciating the improved health , body coordination, and practice in cooperation with others which comes from this sport.

Ever popular among Lincoln high school girls are the tap dancing classes. Each girl seeing herself in the future dancing with Fred Astaire works hard and long to perfect her steps. A class member's hardest task is creating a new dance routine, and performing it at an association meeting.

Association members in the rhythmic dancing classes attempt to express grace, rhythm , and emotional feeling in their original dances. Some of these dances presented to the association, have been enthusiastically received because they have vividly expressed the spirit and feelings which went into their making.

A tie for third place between ancy Green, senior, and Margaret West, junior, enlivened the meet.

That salesmanship is an art is demonstrated by the hard work which is necessary to earn recognition in this field; however, girls interested in the work enjoy it and take great pleasure in trying to beat their fellow salesmen.

1ewest in the sports world at Lincoln high school is the mixed participation by boys and girls in various classes and tournaments. Mixed tournaments in tennis and table tennis have been popular and both the golf and dancing clas es have been well attended.

The fall tennis tournament, new thi s year at Lincoln high, was won by Jane Lawrence and Bob Buxton. Jack Cady and Caryl Hazen were the winners of the mixed doubles table tennis tournament and the two won their respective singles laurels. Girls doubles winners were Betty ye and Jean Whedon, and LeRoy Leurs and Lamont Geissinger triumphed in the boys doubles.

Dancing has been promoted both by classes during the winter and by matinee parties, held on Friday afternoons.

In the golf classes, introduced this spring, and taught by a professional player, John B. Peterson of one of the city clubs, students are furnished with equipment if necessary and are helped along the way toward mastering the fundamentals of the old Scotch game.

The aquatic squad of 1940-41 started the season by building and pointing for one thing, the state meet. On the way toward their goal they experienced another brilliant season.

The first meet of the season found the Lincoln swimmers taking their first road trip as they traveled to Des Moines for two dual meets with orth and Roosevelt. But they came away with a double defeat 30-36 and 17-49.

With the Y. M. C. A. however it was a bit different and the Links came out ahead 40-36. \Vinning every event but the 100 yard backstroke and the 100 yard freestyle, Omaha Tech gave Lincoln a 47-19 beating and set a new 180 yard medley relay record. The Links took every event but the two relays at Fremont

where they won with a big score of 35-25.

In a return meet at home with orth of Des Moines the Links sank their rivals 40-26. White, Branch, and Meyers led the parade for Lincoln. Swimming against the Y. M. C. A. in another return meet the Links administered a 71-26 whipping. Gaining revenge on the Tech team Lincoln nosed ahead in the school pool 34-32 as Tech set a new 180 yard medley relay record for this pool.

Churning the waters to a froth the Links won the coveted state title 66½-60½ from Tech, their nearest rival. Dick Marshall placed first in the 50 yard freestyle and 100 yard backstroke, Perry Branch in the 100 yard freestyle, and Warren Meyers in the 220 yard freestyle.

The 1941 crop of tennis players was remarkable, the racket swingers moving through all competition to the state meet without losing a match

The five-man squad started the season at Seward with a 6-0 win. They repeated at York 6-0 and again at Omaha Tech 4-2. In a return match with Seward they took a 6-0 victory and at Beatrice the score was the same 6-0.

In the state meet the Links doubles team of Morris Coff and Don McArthur advanced to the finals before they were defeated 6-3 by Omaha Central. Bob Buxton got to the semifinals before he was beaten by Dennis Kurovsky of Omaha Tech.

Keeping pace with the other spring sports, the golf squad of 1941 came home with more than a lion's share of the spoils.

The season's opener found them at Seward winning by a 12-0 score. The next match was at the York college invitational meet which the Links took by 13 strokes. Tom Hyland was _ first medalist and Harvey Kaufman, second.

In a medalist meet with Benson, Lincoln was defeated 330-338. At Seward, a return meet, Lincoln won 10½-1 ½, and at Beatrice, swung out a 13½-l ½ win. In the state meet the Lincoln golfers fared rather poorly and fell behind the state's leaders.

Boasting a squad liberally sprinkled with returning lettermen or experienced men, the 1941 ba eball team played another successful season.

In the opener against Creighton Prep, the Links took the field with skilled pitching by Ray Wilkinson and expert fielding by Connie Healy and Bob Rubino, and won 4-2.

Against Seward the score was a bit lopsided and with Roger O'Donnell knocking out a home run, and triple and single base hits Lincoln won 14-1. With two rookie hurlers, Harold Jacob and John Dean, chucking no hit, no run ball the Red and Black handed Schuyler a 22-0 shellacking.

Lincoln took its first drubbing at the hands of Omaha Tech 7-3. Lincoln errors accounted for most of the Tech scores. The losing streak continued against South and the Lincoln hurlers ran against a barrage of hits and lost 8-3.

In a return game with Seward, Lincoln blast ·d out a 17-0 win as Dean allowed only three hits. The B team met Jackson in a fast seven inning game in which the regular Lincoln infielders took the mound as pitchers and won a 2-0 victory. Squeezing ahead of Fairbury 4-2 Lincoln continued its winning ways. Jacob let Fairbury down with five hits.

By winning the only two games scheduled the reserves once more marched through a season undefeated. But because of the scarcity of games a great deal of effort was expended on fundamentals and ground work. and the foundation for next year's first team was solidly built.

The first game against Bethany showed this work to good advantage, as the whole team was particularly out tanding. Bethany couldn't stop the reserve running plays, and the Red and Black junior walked off with a 20-14 victory.

The only other reserve game was played against the visiting Tech re erves, who were sent back to Omaha with a 19-0 thumping. This fray, too, demonstrated the work in funda• mentals as all three teams carried on the squad worked well and made every break count.

For the first time the reserves had their own equipment on the north field and as usual they did a great deal of scrimmaging there. All this adds up to the fact that Lincoln reserve squads remain undefeated for the last four years of play, and that next year's first team should give Lincoln high a skilled representative in the pigskin world of state football for 1941.

The reserves presented a team that wa very evenly divided as to their scoring ability. o one man was particularly outstanding as the records will show. John Dean led the scorers with a total of 75 points for the season with an average of 5.42 points per game. Jake Bruns ank 57 counters for an average of 4.4 points per game.

Minus the services of some of the outstanding athletes of a year ago, this year ' s track team went on to surprise every one by winning three out of four meets.

Opening the season at Beatrice in a dual meet Lincoln trackmen ea ily outdistanced their opponents by a 92½-29½ score. Gordon Hall and Fred Birkman were both outstanding in the weight event and the dashes respectively. The B team met Jackson in a dual meet and proceeded to gulp a 62½-59½ defeat. Sweeping every event but one and tying for that , Lincoln beat what will next year be ortheast high by the wide margin of 92-26. Here again Hall and Birkman were outstanding.

In the next B team meet, the second team won 80-42 over College View The annual greater Lincoln league found Lin c oln again

winning by more than twenty point over the score the other four schools could ama s s. Traveling to York for the annual York invitational meet the Red and Black garnered 73 ½ point to lead their nearest rival. Grand Island, by some twenty points.

Meeting some of the state's strongest s c hool s at the Omaha invitational meet , Lincoln took second pla c e behind Tech of Omaha. Hall captured Lin c oln's only first place b y winning the discus throw.

The state meet found Lincoln surpri s ing the press box and s quad followers by pla c ing the most men of any school. but the loss of two potential point makers in Hall and Brun left Lincoln weak in the field events. In the final compilation , Lincoln took s e c ond position behind Omaha Te c h. The relay team led the way by scoring a e c ond pla c e.

The basketball season of 1940-41 will long be remembered. While the season wasn't particularly noteworthy in the games won column, it was significant in that the campaign set a new high for team and rooter enthusiasm.

The eleven man squad opened the "wars" against Omaha Central and showed promise in absorbing a 19- -20 setback. The Grand Island game found missed shots galore, but Lincoln won 34-21. Against South of Omaha the Links were cold and suffered a 24-41 defeat.

Lincoln bounced back against Hastings and impressed everyone with a 41-23 victory. The winning continued against Tech of Omaha with a 29-19 victory. In a two game trip to Sioux City the Links were nipped by Central 31-37, but came back the next night and took East's measure 39-30.

A return game with Central proved disastrous for Lincoln which took a 23-42 loss. Against Crete the Links won 34-25. The South game at Omaha started out well, but an 18 point second quarter spree by South left Lincoln with a 22-33 loss.

A tense moment at the state tournament

Lincoln found Central "hot" and lost by a 23-42 count, and at York the Red and Black took a 30-45 thumping. The annual Jackson game was a typical thriller until the final gun, and Lincoln won 25-19.

Lincoln used a fast break to down Beatrice 35-25, and the winning streak continued against Omaha Tech with a 40-29 triumph. Against Kearney the Links scored ten times before their guests counted, and the Bearcats lost 29-19. Against Falls City, Lincoln won 31-28.

In the district tournament Lincoln beat Seward 45-29, then slipped by Crete 29-21 by virtue of a fast final period, only to be beaten by Jackson in the final game 23-26. This left Lincoln in the state tournament but as an unseeded team.

Lincoln met F airhury in the first game in the state tournament d appeared to be winning easily, and then fell behind. In the final five seconds Bill Cumming shot from the foul circle, the ball hit the hoop, bounced around and then fell off, dashing Lincoln's hope for a state championship, 25-26.

IPress stories gave little noti c e to the 1940 edition of the Lincoln high footbaII s quad at the faII driils. The squad, liberaily sprinkled with new faces, had only fom returning lettermen, but the will to win , a lot of enthusiasm, and a fine team spirit more than made up for the lack of experience.

Opening the seven-game slate at Crete, the Red and Black turned in an impressive 32-0 win. The lighter Crete eleven couldn ' t hold the Lincoln power in check and aided by fine blocking , the Lin c oln backs had a field day.

In the first- home game of the season the Lincoln eleven thriiled 4,500 howling fans with a 14 -0 surprise victory over a favored Sioux City East team. Lin c oln rose to great heights in the third period when it held on the oneyard line , as the Bla ck Raiders tried unsu c-

c essfully four time s to cross the Red and Black goal line.

Running wild over a much weaker Curtis Aggie team , Lincoln players ran up a 61 - 0 core in a game that made them potential state title bidders. Surprisingly enough , the se c ond and third teams did most of the sc oring while the passing atta c k. heretofore we a k, was parti c ularly effective.

By virtue of a se c ond - quarter s c oring s plurge , Lin c oln s lipped past Omaha South b y a 16- 7 s c ore in a game that saw passing u s ed as the damaging weapon. After Ed HaII had dan c ed thirty - seven yards to the first c ounter , Lin c oln talled and feII ba ck on a placeki ck b y Abbie Klein . In the latter part of the e c ond quarter, Reinald Murray took a long pa ss and s c amp e red over for the last sc ore.

Scottsbluff invaded the Lincoln stronghold for the next battle and with them came all the color of the season. Lincoln, however, throttled every attempt on the part of the Bearcats and walked off with a 48-0 victory.

Lincoln gulped a 27-7 defeat at the hands of Omaha Tech in a game that saw the Red and Black hopes for a fourth straight state championship shoved deep into the mud of the gridiron. The game was played on a muddy field which slowed the offense of both teams, but Tech till had too much speed and deception for the Links.

With but a lone touchdown to its credit, and that in dispute, Lincoln sneaked past Omaha Central 6-0. Both teams lacked offensive spark in scoring territory and spotty ball playing seemed to be the rule.

Playing a team that made the breaks count, Lincoln ended the season with a 12-0 thumping at the hands of an alert Grand Island.

Lincoln easily had the statistical advantage but just couldn't score when in pay territory.

And so the pigskin sport bowed out leaving the Red and Black with a total of five victories against two defeats, a string of straight wins at twenty-five consecutive games, the dreams of being state champion four times in a row blasted, but still with a record that ranked them with the best five football teams · in the state.

One of the reasons that Lincoln high usually has fine football teams is the school system of building inexperienced players into full Hedged squadmen. The boys that lack the necessary experience to be on either the first team or the reserves are sent to northfield to learn the fundamentals of the game.

This year some sixty-five men reported to the northfield to work out their difficulties with

Coach Kuklin. In order' to promote a feeling of actual competition the squad was divided into teams for scrimmage practice. At least once a week or more the northfields scrimmaged the reserves in regular full time quarters and occasionally a full time game would be played.

The northfielders got an actual taste of competition when they met the Havelock reserves and defeated them 12-6. Hank McWilliams led the parade with Ray Earl providing fine help in the line.

• The only other regular game played with outside opponents was played against the College View reserves. The northfielders showed a commanding display,. of straight football in downing them 12-0 as the whole squad got into the game and each did his bit toward winning.

Though mo t people of keptical mind have always a ured us that good fairie really don't exist, our experience in publishing this year's Link have led u to believe the contrar .
