PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL
LINCOLN, NEBRASKA
VOLUME TWENTY NINE
On the high school student of 1945 rests a greater responsibility than ever before in the history of the world. He • is faced with the difficult task of establishing and maintaining a just and stable world peace, and of restoring to a peace time basis a world which has nearly forgotten the meaning of brotherly love and good will.
\
Lincoln high school in its various departments is helping to prepare young citizens for the task which lies ahead. It is stressing those things which will make easier for all the way to lasting peace.
This book shows a cross section of Lincoln high school and its part in preparing young men and women for tomorrow's world.

High school pupils serve their country best if they pursue with diligence the educational op- portunities afforded to them. This preparation is most valuable when the call to the colors comes. Education is a major means whereby we "pro- vide for the common defense and secure the blessing~r·
Today's events can be properly evaluated only as time affords the perspective. One cannot foretell the future as viewed from the present. The present is always the time of opportunitynever the past nor the future. It may be that war will demand the service of many additional young people. It is quite certain that the prob- lems of peace and reconstruction will need men and women who are well prepared to cope with new and complex situations. It is probable that the days ahead will be a time of action. This presents a challenge to young men and women who are concerned with the question of the investment of a life. This year's graduates have as fine an opportunity for life investment as any graduates have ever had. May you rise to the occasion.
The thousands of hours spent every week in business and war industry to relieve the manpower shortage, the thousands of articles made for the Red Cross to use in • Army and Navy hospitals, the support given to salvage and conservation, the purchase of war bonds and stamps, the service donated to local hospitals, all demonstrate as clearly as do the three thousand stars in our service flag, that the pupils of Lincoln high school know this is their war.
My personal greetings go to all sons and daug hters of Lincoln high school, whether in uniform or still in school better preparing themselves to do their full share in the war, and in the peace to follow.
Let our constant prayer be that we will always prove worthy of the responsibility and opportunity which is ours.
We stan d in deep admiration as we contemplate the sacrifices made by hundreds of our former students in the effort to win a complete victory in the present conflict. To these, as well as to those yet to be called into the service, we on the home front pledge our earnest support and prayers .
During the years that the class of 1945 has been in high school we have changed from a peace time to a war time economy The members of this class have shown remarkable initiative, courage, and foresight during a period filled with uncertainties and emotional strain. Many have carried heavy work programs at home and in industry in addition to their school responsibilities. Some have completed requirements for graduation while serving with the armed forces. We are proud of these young people and the contributions they have made to the war effort. We have faith in their ability to help in the building of an enduring world peace

Miss Ellen V . .Anderson, member of the mathematics department of Lincoln high school until her resignation in June, 1944, died September 30, 1944, after an extended illness
"Miss Anderson was a well trained, conscientious worker who always kept her duty to the school foremost in he r activities, " said Mr. Mardis in a statement to the Advocate of October 4. " In · addition to a full schedule of classes she served for many years as efficient head of the very important auditing committee, handling all matters of ticket sales and extra-curricular fund accounting.
"The passing of Miss Anderson is a loss keenly felt in the mathematics department, " said Miss Inez Cook "Her interest and broad experience in her work, her willingness to share it with her fellow teachers, together with her kind , sympathetic manner with pupils have made her a true friend to both teachers and pupils in Lincoln high school."

To make it possible for students to be represented and to bring before the faculty their needs and ideas, each fall the student body elects memberS" to the student council. The council also gives the students a knowledge of how to vote democratically and the members an acquaintance with the working of the government.
The council is made up of twenty members from the student body, twelve seniors, six juniors, and two sophomores, with an equal number of boys and girls. Each member has filed a petition of at least one hundred names followed up by their survival of both a primary and general election before entering office. Their duties are many and each member is held responsible for work on numerous committees to distribute the work evenly. A safety and health committee along with the hall guides are appointed, for the welfare of the school, by the council. Also doormen are pro-
vided for evening performance of the plays. Another committee keeps the extra-curricular activity record up to date.
One of their biggest jobs is their sponsoring of Lincoln high's unequaled talent show, Joy Night. This year the show took place in "Buqhouse Square " and had some 200 students worked into twenty acts. The show ran for three nights with seats at a premium .
In general, the council this year was very successful in all of its activities and has shown a fine spirit in the maintaining of a student cooperative government.

The Victory Corps, with its high ideals and vital purpose, has su c cessfully followed a nation-wide program under the direction of Miss Mildred Kemp.
The war committee which is the executive branch, made up of teachers and students, plans and directs the various activities carried out by each Victory Corps member with the help of the entire school.
While the war committee performs as a group, members work as individuals and records of their activities are kept by the committee. Its main campaign was that of the monthly paper drive to collect the much needed waste paper for the war effort. During the March paper drive, books were laid aside for one day as the entire school responded with 31,850 pounds of paper .
The Victory Corps also handles Red Cross projects and helps in the rolling of bandages, and supplying hospital aids.
Success of the Victory Corps may be attributed to the excellent cooperation in all of the drives, showing that high school students are not only willing to support the national war effort, but able to achieve this goal.

In a year when a happy and healthy • environment seemed necessary, the Lincoln high school student-faculty health committee met the needs of the school with a vigorous and successful program.
Under the guidance of Miss Ethel Murray : the committee cccomplished a complete renovation of the school cafeteria, rearranging tables and decorating them with flowers and ornaments, and providing low racks as a convenient place to store books during lunch. The art department aided in the program by providing a succession of varied pictures which were hung on the walls.
Not satisfied with these innovations, with the coming of spring the committee cleaned up the central court, arranged tables and benches on the grass, and invited lunchers to eat outside.
Filled with the idea that all students should have a chance to take a tuberculosis test, the committee attempted to secure the use of x-ray machines from the State Health Department. Although the machines were unavailable this year because of a full schedule, all pupils in following years are promised chest x-rays for tuberculosis
The committee, composed of twelve faculty and fifteen student members, has received many congratulations for its noteworthy accomplishme:nts.

Physics students enjoy laboratory work
Miss Lucy Geiger uses a chart to clarify a difficult point in physiology class
Bombers now reducing our enemies ' cities to ruins can be easily converted to giant cargo planes, and authorities predict that the extensive knowledge of our wartime engineers will result in the construction, at the rate of four miles per hour , of four-lane highways.
Since such conversions as these now seem certain , if we can trust the prophecies of the experts, students in aviation science classes in Lincoln high school have concerned themselves with the possibilities of the future , studying the d e sign, construction, and operation of the different type of aircraft.
Slides and model airplanes made to exact scale are frequently used to demonstrate slips, rolls, and spins and show the difference between pitch and yaw
Physics and mathematics are constantly employed in solving problems typifying the existing conditions on a performing airplane Dick Wells and Dean Arter are absorbed in using the wind tunnel to test the efficiency of a miniature airfoil, while Don Lynn illustrates the forces acting on a plane in flight. The scales are balanced before the wind tunnel propellor is set in motion. Then as the air streams flow-
ing over the airfoil cause it to rise , the amount of weight necessarily removed again to balance the scale, indicates the number of pounds of lift developed by this type of airfoil.
While science has wrought radical changes in the construction of our homes, buildings , and automobiles, chemistry has transformed to an equal degree the materials with which they are made. Representative of these are the homes with walls which admit sunlight with all its valuable properties and yet are not transparent, modernistic indirect heating and lighting, and insulation board made entirely of feathers. Under pressure thes e feathers adhere to each other and form an unsurpassed insulation material. Chemists make earth building blocks which remain unequalled in efficiency and economy
Our science department gives students a foundation in physics and chemistry, which will enable them to perform the scientific miracles of tomorrow
In physics classes , s udents gather material which will be invaluc:ible to them, should they enter intensified train ing under any branch of service.
Students in aviation science class test the efficiency of a miniature airfoil by usinq the wind tunnel
Those never-ending streams of absence slips and pass slips as well as tickets for all events are a direct product of the members of the printing shop. Persons interested in this occupation acquire a thorough introduction to the trade and enter local printing establishments during their senior year. The printing shop equipment has recently been augmented by an offset printing press which will be used for printing letterheads and other office material for the board of education and schools in Lincoln A modern and up-to-date machine, the new press will print from 40,000 to 60,000 forms a run, compared to the 3,000 of the old one, which operated by hand.
Striving to keep their work in a practical as well as educational vein the electricity students have been working this past year on a large electric score-, board for use in the oval during games . Although parts have been very difficult to secure, this electrician ' s nightmare of wires will be ready for use during the 1945 football season .
How many in the family? What is the family's income? How old is each of its members? These are questions the students in architectural drafting classes must ask themselves before they begin planning a home which will never exist. Beginning with house arrangement and
orientation; their goal is a finished set of working drawings, complete with structural details and material specifications.
Today's visionary blue print is tomorrow's home. In an effort to keep pace with modern architecture and anticipate the trends of home construction, some students experiment with designs of prefabricated houses and wall construction of new materials such as chemically treated dirt, plastic translucent ceilings and insulation material made simply of feathers.
Members of the mechanical drafting classes are instructed in blue print reading, and in making accurate drawings of various mechanical devices.
Boys in auto mechanics not only learn how to service a car from bumper to bumper but have constant chances to practice what they learn. .R. good many of the cars around Lincoln high are kept in condition by the auto shop. In our most severe snow storm this win ' er, three auto mechanic students ably assisted the drivers of thirty cars by putting on their chains.
The fellows in the woodworking shop are kept busy making ping pong tables for army camps. The boys also turn out canes, bed tables, and folding chairs for army hospitals. .R.11 materials used are purchased by the Red Cross
Carpentry classes make bookshelves I
An English class recently became rep• resentatives of the school, when the Advocate staff made a survey of the reading appeal of various articles in the school paper. Each member of Miss Bessie Fisher's class sat with one of the staff, and was quizzed about which items he had read and was the most interested in. The English 17 class then scaled the results, and published them in the Advocate.
When members of Miss Ethel Bryant's senior English class gave impromptu after-dinner speeches in the guise of the figures they would be fifteen years from now, they were introduced by Governor Theodore Sorensen of Nebraska. Among the famous personages present were Dr. Sherrill von Bergen of the Johns-Hopkins medical school, and Dr. John V. Whitten, Jr., noted surgeon.
To cultivate a discriminating taste in theatre offerings, English 20 classes hear on the sound system a great many plays, and then present their own over the same medium.
The newswriting class is another group in the English department to take advantage of Lincoln high's invaluqble communications system. Immediately after hearing President Harry S. Truman's first speech to Congress, class members wrote the story for the Advocate. This same class twice weekly broadcasts to the class the news assembled by announcers.
To test the writer's ability to plan letters with sales appeal, business English class works on a series until a majority of the class has yielded to what the finance staff of a California newspaper calls "incipient consumer acceptance." Following this triumph, the writer makes an itemized statement, a balance due bill, a letter of reminder to the purchaser, and then closes his account.
During the fall election, in Mrs. Ruth Dodge's history classes, pupils wishing to do so gave campaign speeches for favored candidates. Fiery debates from the speakers brought out the good points of their champion and the bad points of the opponent. On the day of the national e lection, an actual poll was held in all classes and a scale kept of all national, state and civic officers. The next day they checked to see which candidates, winmng in their classes, actually were elected..
In Mrs. Grace G. Hyatt's world history classes, family trees were made by each pupil. The purpose was to show by tracing their lineage how closely connec~ed students are in their history.
The increase in divorces and juvenile crime were the social problems studied by modern problems classes.
In American history classes, problems and effects of the Civil War, such as reconversion and racial discrimination, were studied with timely interest. The rise of trusts and the power of corporate wealth, battles of government and capital came in for heated discussion.
Departing from the rigors of conjugating verbs and the other techniques of grammar, Lincoln high language students have been engaged in activities which are entertaining as well as educational.
Foremost among these have been tho production and reading of plays by the students in the various classes. In Miss Elsie Rokahr's two Spanish 4 class:.s, a two-act play, Zaragueta, a comedy of present day life in a small Spanish village, was presented. In Miss Valeria Bonnell's German 4 class, a comic love story entitled Der Zerbrochene Kru.g (the broken jug) was read. Cinderella, the ever-popular fairy tale, was produced by the students of Miss Annetta Sprung's French 2 class, with all the appropriate cosLumes and props, even to the golden slipper.
Besides studying drama and literature, the modern language s ~udents have learned of the customs and lives of the people whose languages they are learning. By observing photographs and books, many of them collected by their t eachers in their travels abroad, the students broaden their knowledge and insight into the lives of their foreign neighbors.
Cinderella, the undying fairy tale, is dramatized in French 2 class
Although mathematics is a subject which essentially remains unchanged from year to year, Lincoln high school has adapted its classes to include many educational requirements necessary in certain branches of the armed services. Senior mathematics is typical of these. Generally a study in the fundamentals of trigonometry, it now includes understanding and use of military maps.
Equipped with United States Army battle maps from Fort Benning, Georgia, students in senior mathematics learn to locate artillery positions and to calculate the range and direction of a target.
Also included in this course is the mastering of the engineer's slide rule. Its use requires a review of all the operations taught in the other geometry and algebra classes here at Lincoln high Mathematical operations are a basis for many scientific theories.
"I object]" shouts the counsel for the defense.
"You can ' t object, " counters the prosecuting attorney.
"Boys, boys, " interrupts Judge Kane, 'Tm surprised. "
'Tm Whitten ," offers the defendant's lawyer.
'Tm Smith," complains the prosecuting attorney.
No, it's not the Nebraska Supreme Court, but it is Mr . Kane's law doss in action. The students enrolled in this course study various laws and apply them to the legal predicaments of mythical personages by staging a mock court trial. This is the situation in the picture as Attorneys Leona McClure and John Whitten oppose the efforts of Lawyer Gene Smith to establish the legality of Merchant Robert Carlson's actions with Mr. Kane presiding in a judicial capacity. Sheriff Gayle Lebsack concernedly witnesses the proceedings. Participants in cases like these are selected at random from the class.
One of the most beneficial courses in Lincoln high school for preparing students for a vocation immediately upon graduation is office
training. In addition to mastering typewriting and office procedure, students in Miss .Alice B. Beynon ' s classes are instructed in the use of office machines, including the comptometer, mineoscope, dictaphone, and the addressograph In the picture Mary Lou Wenninger , Helen Hurst, and Rose Jacobs are applying their office training in operating the ditto ma-' chine and the mimeograph.
In office training class students learn to operate business equipmentAt a time when all departments at Lincoln high school have forged ahead with post-war preparations, the sports classes have gone all out in an effort better to fit young men for armed service upon graduation and, unfortunately, sometimes before.
Sit-ups, pull-ups, leg-lifts, and push-ups put tone into muscles in sports classes. Sit-ups and leg-lifts develop stomach muscles; pull-ups and push-ups, arm · muscles. Rope climbing and the 100-yard dash test speed while the 440 and 880 yard runs make fellows gasp for air in testing endurance. Lately, since the weather has been nice, soft ball games have been dominating the spotlight.
Map reading may seem a far cry from sports, but whether it is the infantry, navy, air corps, or any other branch of service which the boys plan to enter, it is essential that they be able to read maps easily and accurately. Hence,
the concentration in Mr. Mardis' map reading class on various types of projections and their military adaptation.
Eminent American physicians have declared that during wartime, the ability of people to recognize and care for minor ailments and injuries in the home, ranks next in importance to bringing under medical attention anything which might impair one's health. That the recent public anxiety concerning vitamin deficiency has crept into the classroom is evidenced in hygiene classes by the increased interest in diet.
Miss Ethel Murray, who has since 1928 graduated 7,839 boys and girls from her classes, instructs students in the proper method of taking a patient's pulse, temperature, and respiration. They also learn that there is a right
way and a wrong way to make a bed, and since the majority of them are already acquainted with the wrong way, Miss Murray emphasizes the proper method .
.Although home nursing instruction is absent from boys ' hygiene classes, numerous films depict proper care of the body and acquaint students with the more common diseases.
The first aid course is that outlined by the Red Cross, and its completion qualifies a student for a Red Cross First .A.id certificate. After taking both the standard First .A.id and the advanced First .A.id courses, graduates are eligible to work with the detachment group whose duties are to assist the nurse in handling any accident or injury requiring First .A.id The group make up a squad of about fifteen . The members are on duty at all assemblies, games , and emergency exit drills and are known by the distinctive arm bands they wear.
One student has expressed the opm1on that his art instructor could miraculously change his most futile attempts at drawing to look like a masterpiece . And so it is that students find that it is not absolutely necessary for one to possess superior artistic talents in order to enter a drawing class.
The department offers classes in the history of art as well as in drawing and design.
Members 0£ the elementary design classes concentrate on th e fundamentals of drawing, rhythm, design and artistic palterns while the more advance d r a w i n q classes work on charcoal drawings and painting.
Representative work of students in the art classes is displayed in the showcases decorating Lincoln high school's cafeteria and the second floor corridor.
The distributive education course, comparatively new in Lincoln high school, is preparing students for the selling field by teachinq them how to meet the public and induce them to buy.
Mathematics, bookkeeping, business English, public speaking, sales and merchandise courses are offered to acquaint the student with as many phases of the work as possible.
Students learn practical business technique in distributive education classes Home economics girls serve a luncheonRemodeling an old piece of clothing into an attractive new garment , making their homes better places in which to live because of reupholstered chairs and clever accessories, and serving a dinner for a cafeteria or a tea for two are a few of the varied activities of the home economics classes.
Striving to uphold the accomplishments of classes in past years, the home economics students are learning to make the best of shortages of food and materials.
Particularly varied and unusual are the activities of the home furnishing class under the direction of Miss Helen Wilson In this class the girls make furnishings for their own homes
Among the many items seen on display at the tea given the latter part of the semester were large reupholstered living room chairs, footstools which had been made from cheese boxes, dressing table skirts, handkerchief boxes , and pillows.
Home economics classes were especially high-lighted this year by the conference held at the board of education offices , during March. Miss Rua Van Horn , agent for the Central Bureau of Education at Washington, D. C., was in Lincoln for a week to confer with teach-
ers and students about home arts and science programs. Two students from each home economics class were chosen to meet with her and discuss new ideas for the high school home economics classes .
All these activities make the home economics classes varied and enjoyable. Taking clothing , foods, cooking, home decorating , and home nursing means to many students enjoyable experiences and the gaining of practical knowledge to make their own lives and the lives of those around them much finer and happier.
Work of art classes appears on bu ll etin boardThe quality of our respective musical organizations has been a standard long upheld a1 Lincoln high school. All t?e groups have been available for public performance on many occasions. The instrumental groups, the band and the orchestra, have ably performed in musical assemblies as well as in public concerts and in cooperation with such events as the opera and the plays
Typical of the work of the vocal groups were the beautiful services given for the Christmas assembly. The girls octet has been especially active, favoring the patients of the Lincoln Army Air Field hospital with a program on March 24.

Shall eighteen-year-old Nebraskans be allowed to vote? Before a committee of the Nebraska Legislature, four Lincoln high school debaters, Gordon Pauley, Kellogg Wilson, Richard Noble, and Theodore Sorensen, debated this question. After this practical application of their debating, the boys were pleased
to see that the bill which contained this issue was passed by the committee to the floor of the legisltaure, where it was later defeated.
Debating activities started early in the fall semester with a debate clinic where debaters were judged and criticized on presentation and subject matter of their speeches.
Although the Lincoln high team is not so large as in previous ye~rs, it has again carried high honors In the Missouri Valley open tournament, Everett Evnen and Theodore Sorensen were rated second in the finals. In the Wesleyan State tournament, second place was awarded to the Lincoln team, Gordon Pauley and Theodore Sorensen. Sorensen was also rated second best speaker at the meet. Beginners who participated in the tournaments were Fayette Winslow, George Cobel, and Harry Davis.
Three of Miss Florence Jenkins' advanced debaters, Waldo Hansen , Wendell Olson, and Everett Evnen, were graduated in January.
The debate class poses informally for the photographer Pauley , Olson , SorensenOne of the most stirring pieces of acting ever presented by Lincoln high school talent , and one of the most difficult to give, was the Mummers play , er omorrow the World
The plDt gives a fairly accurate idea of the huge task of Naz i reeducation which faces us , a task which Professor Michael Frame and his family met successfully after accepting into their household Emil Bruckner , a young Nazi refugee . .After nearly killing his cousin, Pat , he suddenly sees the futility and weakness of his way of life, and his wall of hate is broken down by her love.
er omorrow the World, a Broadway success, was well received by the audience , whose attentiveness was rewarded by an excellent performance .

A perfume called Spring Green, a benefit dance, the man shortage, a scrap drive, and earthworms all had their part in making the junior play, Spring Green, the hilarious comedy that it was.
Perhaps the most humorous play to be presented at Lincoln high in recent times, Spring Green combined timeliness with the usual antics of young people.
All of the girls of Elmwood were frantic about the man shortage until a new arrival from New York was announced. His name, practically shouting of society and night clubs, or so the girls thought, was T. Newton Tedd.
The discovery by the girls that T. Newton Todd was an jntellectual who _ raised earthworms set off the powder barrel of laughs that continued until the final curtain.
.All eyes are on Sunya Cole during rehearsal of the junior playA man makes his way through a darkened room. With the aid of his flashlight he finds his way to the door of the porch. He disappears. A minute later a strangled scream pierces the air; then silence . The man makes his way back through the room but stops suddenly as a woman enters. Both stand still ; and after a minute's hesitation, the man, presuming that he is unseen, hurriedly leaves the house. The only clue to his identity is the fact that Minerva Winterslip has seen his wrist watch, one with a luminous face and the numeral " 2" indistinct.
Such was the situation when the celebrated Charlie Chan was called in to solve the mystery surrounding the murder of Dan Winterslip , owner of the House Without a Key. A thorough questioning of the occupants of the house resulted only in confusion for the amateur detectives that hovered around the house
The senior play succeeded in keeping everyone but Chan in suspense until the murderer was identified by the detective to be none other than Winterslip's jealous attorney

The High Spot through the year has provided wholesome entertainment for the students of Lincoln high school. .A variety of entertainment has made the High Spot popular with everyone.
Dancing to music furnished by student bands is the favorite pastime of most of the patrons . Also popular are the game room, the swimming pool, and the refreshment stand.
On March 2, the first birthday of the High Spot was celebrated with a hard times party, by students dressed in their worst.
Through the careful planning of the central committee and Miss Esther Montgomery , the High Spot has become a place where all the students may go and enjoy themselves. Members of the school greatly appreciate the efforts of the student council and home room representatives to make the High Spot the success that it has been.
Efforts of Lincoln high school as a whole were very richly rewarded this year by one of the most entertaining Joy Nights of recent
years .All members of the committee headed by Miss Helen Dunlap, council sponsor, have reason to be proud of the acts which contained an originality seldom seen in high school productions of this type.
South .American rhythm was accented in TWENTY FINGERS OF HARMONY . "Tico Tico, '' a Sou th .American Tango by Zequinha .Abrew was featured by Georgann W ythers and William Rolfsrneyer in their piano duet along with "Evelina " from "Bloomer Girl" by Harburg.
Fletcher Bell and Eugene Graham as TWO BUDDIES OF THE RO.AD clashed words and experiences of the world to bring an active comedy to the audience, .April 19, 20, and 21. Employing a clever delivery, these two made the act one of the most enjoyable in the show.
.Accomplishing the impossible, Roma Johnson amazed the capacity audience by turning her back to the piano, deftly turning her brain in reverse, and playing with perfect technique a boogie-woogie selection.

Staff members fold .Advocates for mailing
Fifty cont>ecutive years of reporting the news of Lincoln high school to students, former students, and faculty, is the record of Lincoln high ' s weekly newspaper, the Advocate, which on April 25 , celebrated its golden anniversary
Featured in the anniversary issue were short accounts of the careers of former Advocate staff members, who, since their graduation from high school, have been successful in the field of journalism.
Noteworthy in the 1944 career of the Advocate was the fact that Advocate staff members carried off five of the six awards made in the Scholastic Quill and Scroll contest in newspaper writing to Nebraska high school pupils in annual competition These awards included an interview by Wilma Jean Lumley; a news story by Anne Whit-

Published by the stud en ts of Lincoln high school, the 1945 Links is the product of the combined efforts of all the student body It essays to mirror the life of the school in all its phases, to reflect and hold experiences and activities which will be cherished as memories' in years to come.
Faced with numerous war-time restrictions and shortages , the Links board and staff have striven at all times during the preparation of the book to maintain as closely as possible all pre-war characteristics, and have introduced several innovations, among which are the pages devoted to service men and to recreation .
This special section will recall similar pages, devoted in last year's book to letters received from alumni in the service in answer to those written and sent out by members of the writers club, who prepared the feature especially for that book

MUIR Publications Chairr::xiServing as an outlet for individual expression of talents and hobbies, the various clubs of Lincoln high school also provide students with needed relaxation, and an opportunity to investigate future vocations.
Orpheons, a musical club, makes it possible for members to hear music presented by others and to perform vocal and instrumental selections of their own choice. Mummers, an organization for students with dramatic interests and talents, besides its annual play, presents at meetings, speakers who stress the importance of correctness of• speech, enunciation, and posture. Meetings also include short plays given by members who are criticized on their acting and speaking technique.
These examples are typical of the clubs of Lincoln high school. It is through their guidance and training that students cultivate and enlarge their interests in the arts and sciences, which will prove invaluable experience to them as future citizens of the United States.

Tarzan, with a mighty cry, swings through the trees of the jungle to res- · cue a lovely maiden from three big apes After disposing of the bothersome animals, the four-foot two-inch terror of the jungle returns to claim his prize. Mounting a chair, he prepares to kiss the maiden but in accordance with 0. P. A. rules is stopped because all amusemen..ts must cease at twelve
Is this the jungle of Africa? No, just an assembly presented by the Salts, newest organization in Lincoln high. The first cheering section of its kind in Nebraska, the Salts were organized late in 1944 by Fayette Winslow and Helmut Sienknecht who decided that the boys of the school should have a part in the organized cheering at games and assemblies.
After much research , they found sponsors and held tryouts from which thirty-five boys were chosen.
The Salts expect to enlarge their membership to fifty boys and become a permanent part of Lincoln high s;chool's cheering squad .

Looking up from an after-game victory feast is Lincoln high's genial director of athletics and head football and track coach, Ralph Beechner. Long recognized in Nebraska prep circles as a moulder of championship teams, "Beech" symbolizes the code of clean sportsmanship, valued so highly in these days of strife.
Emphasizing physical and moral building, Beech better prepares our young men to meet the rigors of military service.
Lincoln proved it was one of the state ' s most potent football powers, as the Links regained the Missouri Valley title , won its third straight city crown , and wound up in second place in the state rankings behind the powerful Kearney Bearcats.
The hole left by graduating squadmen was quite apparent, as Coach Beechner got his first look at the 1944 football team, back in September. Of the eleven returning lettermen , only two were regulars, and Beech was forced to build an attack around speed and deception , rather than the usual powerhouse, associated with Lincoln teams. Those lettermen back were Spec Klein , .Al Hoffman, Jack Brown, .Alex Fink, Leonard Rebensdorf, Gene Kelly , Dick Wells, Bob Hubbell, Dan Hergert , Dick Pederit, and Archie Kirkendall.
Playing under adverse weather conditions , a green Lincoln team dropped the opening encounter to an alert Kearney eleven 7-6 . This one point defeat was later to be the slim margin by which the Bearcats slipped by the Links to become mythical state champs . Early in the second quarter the Red and Black caught fire, as .Alex Fink broke loose on the T-formation,
and, with excellent broken field running , scampered to a touchdown. The Links failed in the try for point. Kearney came back at the half with a passing and quick-opening attack, to drive fifty-five yards for a touchdown. A pass interference play set up the Bearcat score. They then booted the extra point on a perfect placement to ice the game.
Still smarting from the Kearney defeat, the Links ran roughshod over St. Joseph, Missouri, 54-0 on September 3 .Al Hoffman climaxed a 50-yard drive to score from the four to send Lincoln into a 7-0 quarter lead. .Alex Fink drove over from the one and the Links scored still again, Piderit making the conversion, for a 20-0 halftime lead. Fink scored on a lateral from Kelly and Dan Hergert, center, blocked an Indian kick to set up Hoffman ' s next score. Wells and Bergquist intercepted passes for scores, Al's coming on a 55-yard run. Bud Gerlach punched , over the final score to end the game
Playing a hard and well fought game throughout , the Red and Black and Sioux City East gridders held each other to a 6-6 stalemate the following Friday. The Links, charac-

Bergquist's placement was blocked by the hard charging raiders . Sioux City opened a steamroller drive in the last quarter, climaxed by Burnight who crossed the Lincoln goal. The Raiders ' kick was wide, ending the game in a tie.
The Links defeated the unbeaten Scottsbluff Bearcats 18-6 on October 6 at the oval , overcoming the spectacular aerial circus of Scottsbluff' s Gayle Ferguson Boney Hoffman raced 20 yards for the first score early in the game, and Bob Hubbell took a lateral back of the line and pitched a pass to Bud Lee in the end zone for the second tally. The "Bluffers" scored on a Ferguson pass, but Fink nullified it with
a SO-yard sprint around end to finish the scoring.
The Links outplayed and outfought a game Northeast eleven on the next Friday to score a 6-0 triumph over their crosstown rivals. Play was mostly indecisive during the first three quarters, as Lincoln had three chances to score, but couldn't wangle the ball across the final chalk line. In the final canto, the Links pushed across the deciding tally with subquarterback Bruce Bergquist scoring from six yards out. The drive was good for forty-five yards . Lee's diving catch of Fink's aerial as the half ended was the most spectacular play of the game.
The Red and Black gridders found the mud to their liking on October 20, as they handed the Omaha South Packers a 20-0 lickinq. With Gerlach and Fink alternating carrying the ball,

Lee .spilled the Packer quarterback behind the goal to add two more points to the Lincoln cause. Fink then shook the mud off the last half for another of his long runs-this one a 55-yard touchdown sprint-and Hubbell flipped a quick pass to Archie Kirkendall who carried the ball the remaining 20 yards to the goal to complete the evening ' s scoring. •
In the final home game of the season, on October 25, the Links edged by a highly touted Omaha Tech aggregation 13-12. By passing for two touchdowns and running an extra point, the gridders came from behind to nab victory number five Hubbel danced away from several tacklers as he hit Kirkendall for a 35-yard touchdown pass to initiate the scoring. Tech immediately retaliated with a long pass and a blocked kick to lead Lincoln 12-7 midway in the second quarter. Hubbell then let fly with passes, Bob Bartlett nailing one in the end zone for the final marker.
Outstanding defensive play on the part of the Lincoln forward wall highlighted the November 4 game, when the Links whitewashed the Omaha Central Eagles 13-0. Danny Hergert intercepted a sfray Central pass and galloped 81 yards to pay dirt in the opening quar-
ter. The T echsters dominated the ball in the second and third periods but the Links' line held at crucial times. In the final period, the Red and Black began to roll and with Fink and Hoffman carrying the ball, drove 7 S yards for the score, Fink making the counter. Hubbell passed to Lee for the extra point.
King Football was preparing to take a back seat as the Links ended up the season thrash- . ing Grand Island 42-0. Hoffman and Fink were the whole show as Boney scored three touchdowns and Fink made two, both on lonq runs. Hoffman scored from the one to climax an early drive, and a few plays later Fink broke loose on a 51-yard scamper .Another Lincoln drive · culminated in Hoffman's second touchdown and Fink ran 72 yards to make the score read 28-0. A Hubbell to Kirkendall pass was good for another score and Gerlach ended the scoring with an 8-yard jaunt. It was the last game for nine regulars.
Lincoln won 7, lost 1, and tied 1, whitewashing five of its opponents and winding up with 177 points to its opponents' 31. Kirkendall was· named all-state end, while Fink and Herqert were awarded honorable mention. Fink tied Bill Betz ' s scoring record of 61 points with 10 touchdowns and one point after touchdown.
Four lettermen graced the golf and tennis teams as Coach Max Pumphrey hoped to repeat the golf championship and bring the tennis title back to Lincoln high. From last year ' s state championship golf team, Don Spomer and Jim Liggett were back.
Spomer was the 1944 state high school individual champion, and was a favorite to repeat this year.
Bill Barrett and Bob McGehee, doubles finalists in last year's Missouri Valley meet, were the lettermen returning to the racket sport, and were rated No. 1 and No. 2 in the school.

Coach Lyle Weyand had five returning lettermen from last year ' s squad with which to start this year ' s basketball season. These lettermen were Gayle Lebsack, Boney Hoffman, • Bill Browne, Bob Bartlett, and Bob Olmstead
The team started slowly, dropping three of the first nine games , but gained experience and steadiness along the way , and finished out the long season with but four losses in 20 games. Entering the tournament, • the Links swept through the regional with ease, but stumbled for the second straight year in the first round of the state contest, when they were downed by Scottsbluff in a not soon to be forgotten game.
Lebsack teed off with 13 points against Nebraska City, as the Links opened their cage season on December 8 with a 28-18 victory over the Pioneers .A week later, Lincoln captured its first Missouri Valley win as they slipped by Omaha Central 23-20, and slaughtered Grand Island 35-18 the following night, Lebsack hitting for 19 points
In a two-day trip to Scottsbluff, where they were shown excellent courtesy and hospitality, the Links split with the Bearcats, losing 31-26 , but spanking the Bluffers 50-30 the next evening. It was the first basketball contest held between the two schools. In a dull and colorless game, the hoopsters were hard pressed to win a 25-21 verdict over the Hastings Tigers
here at home on January 5. Lincoln ' s hopes for a share in the Missouri Valley t itle received a sudden jolt , as the thrice-beaten Omaha South Packers upset them 25-24 in a thrilling overtime game South trailed the Links for three quarters and then came to life to tie the score and win the game.•
Capitalizing on their height beneath the back boards, the Red and Black got off to a fast start and handed York a 45-25 licking. Lebsack , Olmstead, and Browne paced the Links with 10 , 10, and 8 points , respectively.
The Capital City club suffered its third loss of the season at the hands of a cool Omaha Tech five January 18 , going down 33-35 in a heartbreaker. With a third quarter lead of 32-20, the Links seemed to have the game sewed up, but fourth quarter fatigue seemed to slow them down as the Maroons came back and outscored the Links 15-1 to take the game Olmstead and Browne, claiming 29 points, seemed the only ones able to hit. Two days later, Lincoln set back Omaha Central , 30-24, holding the Eagles without a field goal the · first 10 minutes The Omahans rallied to a 17-all count but the Links pulled away to win handily.
Lincoln high rooters followed the team to Crete, Friday, January 26, as the cagers thrashed the Cardinals 39-19. Boney Hoffman ' s defensive play and his 17 points earned him

On Saturday night, the Red and Black gained sweet revenge as they soundly ·whipped Omaha South 32-18 on the Whittier maples. Lincoln's tight man to man defense kept the Packers out around mid-court and they were unable to score in the initiai stanza. Lebsack was high with 14 points.
Putting away 26 points, Lebsack made his highest total of the season, as he led his mates to a 45-29 victory over Sioux City East on the Raiders' floor, February 2, while the following night the cagers eased by Sioux City Central· 32-31 in probably the closest game of the season. Bob Olmstead's bucket in the last minute was the measure of victory.
Stopping a torrid third-period Northeast rally, Lincoln's third consecutive city crown was won February 6, downing their crosstown rivals 27-23. The crowd was in a nanic as the two teams see-sawed up and down, but the Links finally pulled away.
Racking up their seventh straight victory, the Lincoln basketeers avenged an earlier defeat and cinched second place in the Missouri Valley conferen<:e as they rallied to beat Omaha Tech 33-27. In one of the roughest games of the season, .Abraham Lincoln was victim number eight as they fell 42-33 to the high scoring Links, Friday, February 17. Bergquist's fine floor work was outstanding. The following night, the Red and Black scored at ease to smother Kearney 47-24.
Lincoln's win streak reached 10 as the Falls City Tigers were pummeled by the rampaging Links 41-18. In the final game of the season, on March 2, Norfolk broke the win streak with a 33-31 score in two overtimes.
Drawing Northeast in the opening round of the district tourney at .Ag College, the Links reached their peak when they downed the Rockets 31-20 before 1,800 fans jam-packed in. With Hoffman, Lebsack, and Gerlach putting in one-handers with amazing accuracy, the Red and Black stretched a half-time advantage of 14-8 to 22-15 at the end of the third session and continued to hit, ending the game at 31-20. Lebsack's 15 points took scoring honors.
The cagers qualified for the state tourney by easily dropping Beatrice 43-21, and took home the district title when they romped over Falls City 44-16 with the second string taking over the last half.
With ice running through their veins for three quarters, the Lincoln lads fell before a classy Scottsbluff quintet 24-22, in the opening round of the state tournament last March.
Main cog in the Links offensive machine was Lebsack who led the Capital City high school scoring parade with 259 points in seasonal play and made 46 in four tournament contests. Leb was one of the best cagers in the state, and was awarded a first team berth in the allstate rankings.

The reserve footballers, playing only three games in an abbreviated season, won from Omaha Tech reserves and bowed to Colleqe View and Boys Town.
The 6-13 loss to Colleqe View in the season opener, was the first defeat suffered by a Lincoln reserve team in seven years. However, only one other team besides the Junior Links scored on the Viewmen all season.
The Reserves trounced Omaha Tech, 26-0, and closed the season, losing to the fast Boys Town seconds, 6-26.
Winning 14 of 15 games, the 1944-45 Reserve cagers enjoyed one of the best records, if not the best, in reserve basketball history. Beaten only by the powerful Greenwood quintet which boasted a win streak of 31 games, the Junior Links averaged 43.2 points per .game and sported a 22.8 defensive record.
Rich Mariscal wcis tops in points scored with 144 in 15 games for a 9.6 average , followed by Randy Renken who swished the nets for 117 points.

Lincoln high's track squad bore little resemblance to last year's state champions, with Tom Zichek, state 440 king, and Al Bergquist, the only returning lettermen.
The tracksters won their own invitational meet on April 6, breezing by a field of ten teams. The Links copped six firsts and four seconds to score 44½ points and outdistance Northeast who claimed only 18 2/ 7 points . Crete was third and Beatrice, fourth. Herb Gish opened the proceedings by being nosed out in the 60-yard high hurdles to get a second. Ed Longacre streaked past the field in the 60yard dash in the sensational time of 6.5, and Don Bryant picked up a second in the mile.
Weightmen-Rolfsmeyer , Kimball , and Lebsack
Ed McEachen turned in a 56 second 440 to win that event, and Rex Hoy exploded out of his blocks to take the 60-yard low hurdles in 7.3. In a thrilling finish, Bud Lee outlasted the field to win the 880 in 2:13.9, and the relay team of McEachen, Bergquist, Hoy, and Longacre copped the blue ribbon in the relay. Kimball and Rolfsmeyer placed one, two, in the shot put, Kimball's winning heave being 46 feet. Bob Bruns' record in the pole vault was broken, while the high jump record, held by Chuck Bolus, also toppled.
The Links picked up 20 points at the Columbus invitational on April 19, finishing in a third place tie with Grand Island, behind Kearney and Omaha Benson.
