ELMER
Learning to become a good citizen in a democratic American high school , is the best training known , to become a valuable, cooperating member of the larger social groups of community, nation , and the post-war world. This is an assignment so fundamental and so important that I hope every pupil of Lincoln high will master it.

Lincoln high school is this year graduating a group of boys and girls upon whom is thrust unusual opportunities and privileges along with grave responsibilities. We believe these young people have given a good account of themselves in their desire to develop tolerance in place of hatred, in order that our democracy may more nearly realize its full promise. Their contributions to society in an atomic age can truly be a blessing. We have every confidence in their faith and courage to carry on.
We have great faith in you and we are depending on you to help make your part of the world a happier place for all people. Tolerance, freedom and equal opportunity for all are age-old ideals. Many g enerations have discussed them, written of them, fought and died for them. It is for your generation to live for them and make them real.

"FOR THE PEOPLE"
The main burden of the government of Lincoln high school rests with the student council. This group of school leaders chosen by the student body at annual elections brings forth many ideas for the betterment of school conditions and policies.
For our benefit the council procures election booths which are used during city elections, and members see that every

detail in one of our elections is carried on with official precision. Through their efforts Lincoln high graduates become citizens with deep convictions as to the inviolability of the secret ballot. Our high school leaders of today will become the men and women who we hope will discover cures for such diseases as war and intolerance which have plagued civilization for centuries.

THE AMERICAN WAY
Maintaining direct contact with the desires and proposals of the average student, home room representatives promote student wants with the faculty directors and explain the wishes of the f~culty to the school. Elected by each home room, the representatives are the ambassadors of the students' will and needs. Serving as they do, they are invaluable assistants to the home room teacher and carry on such tasks as selling activity tickets, collecting class dues, assisting in school elections and the different drives carried on during the year.
" Home Room 303 has 40 percent," excLaims FRITZ SQUYRES to JIM STROUD as the two bring the activity saLe chart up to date. "ChaLk up another one," Representatives PAT O'HARA, HAZELLE HOUSE, ANN JEANNETTE SMITH, PHYLLIS CONE and SHIRLEY SERIGHT tabulate cLass eLection returns

HARRY SIDNEY DOBBINS AW ARD
"To perpetuate the name of Harry Sidney Dobbins with the school he loved," the policy of awarding this distinction annually was inaugurated in 1913 by his parents. The award was sponsored by the proceeds of a principal earned by the boy during vacation periods and this annual income was offered "as a prize of some sort to be given to some pupil in the Lincoln high school who excels in some branch of work or play there." It was suggested by the parents of the posthumous sponsor, that "if his inclination could be consulted, I think he would prefer that it be given for excellence in some branch of athletics," and that they "would like, if it does not savor too much of advertising to perpetuate his name in connection with the school he loved by offering this annually for an indefinite period, to be known as the Harry S. Dobbins prize."
And so from this humble begipning the award has come to be regarded as the paramount accomplishment in athletics and scholarship. To the recipient goes the distinction of having attained excellence in fields which prepare him admirably for the battles of life to come, a launching on the seas of human endeavor, a magnificent award for a fine achievement.

THESE WE HONOR
Being elected to the national honor society signifies that a graduating senior is in the upper fifteen percent of the school in regard to scholarship, leadership and citizenship. A student may earn this honor only by maintaining a consistently high standard in these three respects duing all his high school days.
This group is made up of those who use their superior ability to the advantage of the entire school. They have chosen a clean-cut path toward their goals in life and followed it perseveringly.
Under the sponsorship of Miss Margaret Procter and Miss Mary Bardwell, this organization assists the teachers with registration and is in charge of the student council election in the spring.
With honor comes responsibility - honor society members, JEANNE MALONE and CARMEN SHEPHERD, talk over registration.
Lincoln high is justly proud of these capable, efficient and self-reliant students. They show to the greatest degree the traits which our school is devoted to developing in all students. The world is looking to them, confident that civilization in hands such as theirs will continue to progress toward the ideal.

VARIETY IS THE
An eye-witness account by one of the first men to view the damage wrought by the atomic bomb was brought to our school by Geor g e Clemeens. He told of the destruction caused by the bomb, and forcibly emphasized his words by showing us a piece of the radioactive bluish-green glass made from sand melted by the explosion.
Youth week was observed in Lincoln high by an assembly in which Rev. Ronald W. Dickson spoke. He helped us understand the obligations that youth will face in the coming years, and he gave us a glimpse of some of the opportunities that will be offered us. He left us determined to do our share in making the coming world a better one.
"Watch the four cars-your own, the one in front, the one behind, and the one around the corner."
That was the admonition in the film on traffic safety shown to us during safety week. The purpose of the film was to make us safer drivers. After seeing it, we left with the resolution to take all necessary precautions against being the cause of anyone's loss of life or property.
One memory of Lincoln high which is treasured and never forgotten by its graduates is the Christmas assembly. The lights are soft and low. Thirtythree candles, representing the years in the life of Christ form a row on the front of the stage, and a huge white star glows above. All the music groups join to make the assembly as nearly perfect and inspiring as possible. As the students leave the darkened and quiet auditorium, they feel a greater realization of the meaning of religious living and brotherly love.
The Links gloat over their many victims as the Peppers present a pre-game assembly Shakespeare drew a lauah when the University Players brought "Twelfth Night" to the L. H. S. stage "POTSY" CLARK illustrates a point at another rally.
S PICE OF LIFE
Dr. John L. Davis entertained Lincoln high with his jovial good humor and ~is pioneer-bred common sense.
Better relations between employer and employees were stresse<J. by him along with a plea for all students who could to attend college in pursuit of training for a better position in life.
He attempted to make us see that labor and management have the same ultimate purpose in mind in spite of the many minor issues which cloud thinking on both sides.
Words were delivered at Gettysburg during the Civil War which have lived through the years. Simple and direct words were spoken to express a deep- felt thought and not to establish their writer's reputation for oratory. They are beautiful words because the feeling behind them is beautiful.
A film attempted to let us hear these words the way they might have been spoken. It also _ showed the merciless criticism that the great gaunt man's opponent s showered upon him.
The girls glee with the boys quartet, under the direction of Miss Dorthea Gore and H. T. Rangeler, presented an assembly of rapturous music suitable to the feelings that Spring inspires in everyone. The attention and admiration of the audience were held through all of the songs by their delightful combination of ability, feeling and versatility.
The numbers by the girls glee which so pleased everyone were Praise Ye the Fathe r, Music From Heaven, America .Thou, Blessed Land, Tambourine, To the Spirit of Music, and It Cannot Be a Strange Country with Sonja Christop- herson and Peggy Bayer as soloists.
The boys quartet sang J esu Priceless Treasure and Roadways.

TAILORED FOR THE TEENS
At the High Spot today's teen-agers can get the kind of -entertainment they most want and have a place where they can mix casually with enough supervision, but not enough to dampen the natural spontaneity of youth.
The activities which the High Spot offers are those most in demand by the students; such as dancing, swimming, and games. In charge of it are committees made up of the classmates of those who will use it. They bend every effort to see that the High Spot is as nearly ideal as is possible, and the enthusiasm of Lincoln high for this recreational center is proof of its splendid success.
Our country will be greatly benefited by the possession of young people who make such good use of their leisure.

It develops their voices in such a way that they are a permanent source of pleasure for themselves and those around them. These singers form two of the most popular organizations in the school. Any
performance which they take part in is looked forward to with eagerness by the entire student body. Their reputation is not just confined to Lincoln high, but has spread throughout the city because of the combination of effort and ability which characterizes them.

The girls octet contains eight of the most beautiful voices in our school. These girls put a great deal of effort into learning songs of superior quality and blending their voices together to make a glowing rainbow of song.
Vigor, rhythm and skill characterize the songs sung by the boys quartet. Some of the best voices of the school are in this group. The boys aim to provide the school with the highest type of music and yet the kind which will be heard with enjoy!Ilent by all.

PRINCESS IDA
HELEN ADAMS as Princess Ida refuses to yield to entreaties in a tense moment at opera rehearsal.
Princess Ida by Gilbert and Sullivan is this year's choice for a frolicsome opera. The choir performs it in a manner that brings out all the gay and gently satirical humor which this comic opera contains.
The cast and chorus both do an exceptional piece of work in musical skill and interpretation of the spirit of the composers. The production has a professional finish, and the traditional large audience.
The giving of opera has enabled many talented students to use their abilities in a way which affords maximum joy to everyone concerned. With all its beautiful swaying melodies, carefree humor, and gorgeous costumes, this performance will be remembered with affection by Lincoln high graduates.

To provide its members and the audience with the opportunity to acquire a taste for a high quality of music and to teach students to turn to creative use emotions which are naturally intense at high school age, are the purposes of the choir. Its members have a chance to exercise their talents and achieve the unequaled satisfaction which only a piece of constructive work well done affords.
Through the years the city of Lincoln has received much benefit by being able to welcome youths who have an appreciation of the arts and who have learned to guide feelings along rational constructive channels rather than allowing them to run rampant and disordered into destructive prejudices and desires. ~

In December, 1945, the board of education approved a cooperative study of the Lincoln school system. This is being undertaken with Dr. Clyde M. Hill and Dr. S. M. Brownell of the department of education of Yale university directly in charge, and with Dr. H. Leigh Baker, Dean of the College of Education, Drake university, as the resident assistant.
The parents, other interested citizens, teachers and students have been asked to serve on committees and answer questionnaires. Specialists in various fields of education are being brought here and after conferences, interviews and personal observation of the work in their field they will make recommendations and helpful criticisms.
On May 1 a preliminary report of their findings will be made and later in the fall a more complete one.

VERBAL ARENA
Every Spring the Forum sponsors the Faulkner Cup contest, the top oratorical contest of the school.
In an effort to win the Faulkner Cup contest students present problems which most perplex society and most urgently need to be solved. They acquaint themselves and their audience with conditions as they actually exist, and set forth opinions on the remedy which is quickest and best for all concerned.
They learn to present ideas in a logical, forceful and interesting manner, so that their listeners will be roused to thought and action. Lincoln high pupils will be better able to cope with the many problems which will face them when they assume the full responsibility of citizenship because of these speeches.

A comedy portraying a city-bred family which moves into a dilapidated farm house was the play dramatized by the Mummers this year. This production also contained some lively satirical material about the family's treatment of a supposedly rich uncle.
The performers played their roles with real understanding of character. This gave the show a finesse that went over extremely well with the audience. Satisfaction and joviality filled the spectators' minds as they turned homeward at the finish.
Lighting and sound effects during the storm scene were most realistic, and received a great deal of favorable comment from the student body.
The notable name that Mummers has made for itself through the years by maintaining a constant high level of entertainment has been even more enriched by the play George Washington Slept Here.

APPRECIATING THE BEAUTIFUL
For future artists and art lovers Lincoln high provides art classes and the art club. Here enthusiasts develop their imagination and powers of observation while producing work which gives them pleasure in the creating. Self-control is also developed because of the necessity for making each detail precise and beautiful so that a picture which the artist can be proud of may result.
Because of the training received in art, many graduates of our school will lead fuller and more contented lives, and will become the type of alert, intelligent and imaginative person who makes a vital contribution in a nation where the individual is the backbone of government, business and society.

We like to think that, partially through the work of this club, citizens who are able to reach conclusions without constantly leaning on the crutches of other's thinking, and who are able to contribute something original which will add to the advantages of living, are each year enriching the world.

JOURNALISTS
A ·T WORK
Newspapers are an integral part of a democracy. The front page supplies the public with news as it happens, uncolored by petty prejudices, unsound opinions or motives of self interest. The editorials arouse the people to action against circumstances detrimental to the welfare of the majority and no less waken them to support a wholesome cause.
There are two necessities if journalism is to achieve these high standards-competent writers and interested readers. The Advocate classes, under Miss Belle Farman's supervision, are supplying both in the graduates of Lincoln high.
By filling the paper with life and vivacity as well as news, this paper has done its share in providing America with voters who know the policies of the man for whom they are voting, and who will not be satisfied to sit quietly back as a crisis approaches. Advocate awards this year are:
All-American Honor rating by the National Scholastic Press association.
Donald Bryant, George Wilcox, Alice Babst, June Fislar, Forrest Mozer.

HOME ECONOMICS
Before people can do their best work either mentally or physically they must be properly fed and clothed. Girls in the home economics classes and club this year will soon have the duty of seeing that their families have every advantage possible in this field. They have learned that there is much more to nutrition than satisfying the appetite. Lack of good health causes man hours in industry to be lost and days which might be spent in school to be wasted. Besides, many times a person is not actually sick, but because of poor nutrition cannot do his daily work at maximum efficiency.

Photography is also an activity which can provide the student with an interesting profession or an engrossing hobby to add enjoyment to his leisure hours, after he has finished his formal education. Each year photography becomes more of an art. It is in a state of immense growth, and is one of the most promising fields for the future.

THE HEAL TH OF THE NATION
Lincoln high school places emphasis in all classes on the basic factors of a happy and successful life. The student is taught in science and hygiene classes that health is mental and moral as well as physical. Promotion and maintenance of sound health is not comprehended alone in what he does for his body. The physiology, biology, health and hygiene classes are organized with this in mind. Events in school life make appropriate occasions for impressive health teaching. The end sought in all this teaching is sound health, thinking and feeling, recognition of symptoms of sickness and prompt action at the beginning of threatened illness. These ideas and feelings, built into the mind of the student by health training, are the foundations for a "sound mind in a sound body." ,, HOLD HER DOWN-v.JE' GOT TWO MINUT

ENTERING TH E
The best of literature, besides g1vmg the reader an inexhaustible source of pleasure, provides him with invaluable information about life and living. By the process of self-identification, the reader learns to sympathize with the other person's viewpoint while still retaining his own ideas. In English classes the student acquires a taste for the earth's greatest literature and is inspired by it to lead a life of value to himself and those around him.
In composition class, the student learns how to express himself via the written and spoken word in a way which will give his ideas clarity. A · democracy depends on individuals who can do their own thinking, and it is not less important that the citizen be able to express his thoughts.
In debate classes students are taught to argue with clear logic and in an interesting manner. That arguments must be based on facts in order to be worthwhile is deeply imbedded in their minds. In their research in preparing for a debate they ferret out information on current topics particularly affecting high school students, and in the presentation of the debates the benefit of their knowledge is passed on to the student body.

of a changing world in training students to 'be ready to do their part in this field. The number of students who choose mathematics as a major • is extremely large.
Through his science classes the pupil learns with awe and respect about the complexity of the universe. He catches a glimpse of understanding about the composition of matter, the incomprehensible miracle of stars, and the wonder of life from the tiniest amoeba to his own efficient body.
Demands which life makes upon people determine what education shall teach them. In a world that is scientific the student will be required to adapt himself to the marvelous changes which are and will be occurring constantly. Science classes keep this in mind in planning courses at Lincoln high school.
The study of world problems and events in history classes gives the student solid impartial facts on which to base his political beliefs. He is exposed to the varied viewpoints which spring up among different economic and social classes and in separate localities. He learns that although each of these views has its ardent advocates who insist that it is the nemesis of all the world's evils, it also has opponents who are just as vehement. To make it even more thoughtprovoking, both sides often offer arguments which on the surface seem flawless.

Foreign language courses off er much opportunity for creative achievement as well as for better judgment in regard to our neighbors. Many former members of these classes made definite contributions in the service. The understanding that these boys and girls acquired can not help but be a force in creating greater sympathy and discernment among the persons in their communities and therefore in nations around the globe.
In commercial classes, boys and girls learn technical skills which pre}:;are them to earn their living in a worthwhile way and perform tasks which are absolutely necessary to the functioning of civilization as we know it.
Lincoln high students in these classes will become secretaries, typists, bookkeepers and stenographers who are as essential to business as flesh is to the body. The corporation head would be helpless without workers of this type, and the best machines would be valueless.
Commercial courses teach rapid thinking and accuracy. These two things will aid anyone, but are of particular value to the citizen of a democracy where people are encouraged to think, and the . more accurately and rapidly the better.

CUP GIRL
Carrying on the tradition started several years ago, the girls athletic association this year chose Leona McClure as the 1946 Cup Girl. Leona, a January graduate, excelled in many sports while in high school, receiving three letters and seven emblems. The letters included two for tennis and one each in softball and swimming; emblems came for softball, speedball, tennis, basketball, swimming, tap dancing and table tennis.
Chosen on the basis of scholarship, sportsmanship, citizenship and school leadership, Leona ranks high in all four. Besides her active participation in sports, she was vice-president of the G. A. A., leader of several sports, a member of the choir, girls glee, Joy Night, Girl Reserves and a singer in the opera, Iolanthe.
Following this early training under Miss Lillian Story and Miss Helen Miller, she .is now a physical education major at the University of Nebraska and will undoubtedly go far in her chosen vocation.

GIRLS SPORTS
Each fall and again in the spring, a girls swimming meet is staged in the Lincoln high school pool. To those girls who obtain the highest standards in the swimming meets goes special recognition in the form of swimming awards.
As an encouragement for more girls who do not know how or who need some "brushing up" in swimming, classes meet after school during the school year.
Also as an aid to building of health among high school girls is the rhythmic dancing class which is conducted during the first semester. These classes are an after-school session and consist of a series of exercises and dancing all done to the rhythm of specially provided music.
During Lincoln high athletic events, many girls participate in coring apples

Ever-popular among sports is the tennis game. At the tennis tournaments in the fall the ablest participants win special awards. Table tennis also holds its own in the realm of girls athletic activities, as a tournament is held at the beginning of the second semester. Girls may enter in singles or doubles and awards in both tournaments are given on the same bas:s as in tennis.
Emblems may be won by participating in and receiving high averages in the golf tournament held bi-annually, in the fall and spring.
Another feature of the first semester is the tap dancing class which earns dancing emblems for all who take part. Speedball, a combination of basketball and football, ends in the fall tournament which enables many to earn a wards. The fascinating game of archery for those interested in a bow and arrow is a spring sport which brings untold pleasure and good body building exercise. During the last nine weeks of the second semester, the archery tournament yie!ds emblems to those who place first, second, third or fourth in the finals.

TOUCHDOWN BOUND
"So near and yet so far" is an appropriate epithet for this year's gridsters, for in a sense they were only four minutes away from a state championship. Four minutes away because of the fact that, except for forty seconds in their tussle with the Scottsbluff Bearcats and the closing three minutes of the Tech game Coaches Beechner and Weyand had another state championship feather tucked in their Stetsons with no questions asked!
Initiating the season with a 12-6 win over Kearney, last year's state champs, the Links played spectacular defensive ball the first half allowing the Bearcats only 19 yards in the netyards-gained department, but had to outlast a determined second-half Kearney rally to come out on top.
There was no question about Lincoln's superiority over the peaceful St. Joseph Indians, when the Links came out on top oj a 43-0 romp,

The footbaH banquet provides a fitting climax to another fine grid - season
after throwing everything but the referees at the Missourians.
Undoubtedly the Red and Black displayed their best ball of the year in the 14- 7 win over strong Sioux City East. Trailing at intermission, the Links opened the second half with an 80-yard kickoff return by Gunderson with the valuable aid of stellar blocking, and tallied again within four minutes to sew up the fray.
After a near-thousand mile trip the Lincoln tutors were undoubtedly questioning the justice in this world. The illfated Beechnermen saw their fortunes wane as the touted Scottsbluff eleven passed their way into a 7 - 7 deadlock with less than 40 seconds remaining.

football. The Links played superior ball throughout, however, and came out on top of a 12-6 count. Play was featured per usual, by good defensive ball on the part of the Lincoln club and a 64-yard touchdown scam per by Northeast's Mccurdy on a traditional Statue of Liberty play. The Links doubled the Rockets in yards gained and played good ball throughout.
The South High Packers probably cultivated more gray hairs on Coach Beechner's pate than ·any other fray when they dropped a 6- 7 encounter with the Red and Black. The victory unquestionably can be accredited to spectacular defensive play by the locals for not once but a near half-dozen times the Links found themselves with their back to the wall with the Packers ready to unload their 6 points in the end zone.
The Tech Maroons handed the Lincoln club their only defeat when they managed a 7-6 upset over · the locals. The Links had the situation well in hand, in a football sense, but the gents in the striped shirts proved to be too much for the gridsters. A touchdown pass_late in the first half, which undoubtedly would have iced the game was called back on a holding penalty. The Omaha gridsters failed to make a first down the entire first half and had to take to the air early in the fourth quarter to gain the margin of victory.
A game Omaha Central club met defeat before the avenging Red and Black to the tune of 13-0. It was Lincoln all the way as the Beechermen hit pay dirt on a long Bergquist pass and again on the ground to sew up the traditional scramble.
A flu-stricken Red and Black eleven wound up the current campaign by rolling over touted Grand Island, 22- 7. The visitors failed to reach the mid-stripe the entire first half but tallied via the airlanes in the third canto.

MEET THE
Coach Lyle Weyand's maple-pounders copped all the laurels in sight, with the possible exception of the Irish-sweepstakes to write "finis" to one of the most successful campaigns ever to be recorded in the Red and Black ledger of sports. Undoubtedly the 1946 edition of Links basketeers was the most potent outfit in the state and probably one of the best squads that Lincoln has ever produced which is a distinction that cannot be overestimated when you review the annals of Lincoln high athletics.
With an all-victorious twenty-six game campaign and the State, Missouri Valley, and intercity titles, tucked under their belts it is difficult to prescribe a diet for a record such as the one sported by their victorious aggregation. But indeed, diet was the least of facetious Lyle Weyand's worries in this season of seasons for each game was a climb on a twenty-six-step ladder and he was ever ready to lend a helping hand lest his hard-wood-trotters slip and fall.
The climax of this season's exciting action was the state title fray when the locals squared off against a powerful Benson team but perusual, the Links took an early lead and were never headed on their way to a 36-30 decision and the state championship . The Lincoln club gave one of the smoothest exhibitions of ballplaying witnessed in recent years to sew up the fray as Benson's Rod Dalbey kept the Omaha club in the running. It was a fitting climax to a great season .
The Lincoln-Northeast classic gave the fans a duo thrill as the teams met in their annual battle and again in the district. Although both games were uncomfortably close, the districtchampionship playoff probably afforded more thrills than the annual meeting. The Links were

showing a deficit at the half but forged ahead with an impressive spurt to notch a victory and the district crown. It was a well-deserved triumph w h 1cn cost the Lincoln coacning staff a few gray hairs, but assured them of a seeded berth in the state carnival.
The Omaha South Packers came uncomfortably close to playing the role of Jack the Giant Killer to the Lin.Ks vme of victories as their rally in the closing_ minutes almost forced the clubs into an overtime. But old Lady Luck must have finally decided to cast her lot in favor of the locals as a basket which would have held the game up was nullified by the officials on a traveling penalty. It was the closest call of the season and proved to be a stimulant to the Red and Blaek cagesters.

from behind more than once in order to keep their "Loss" column clean and maintain their margin in the Missouri Valley race. East displayed a potent and formidable attack, the best the locals had run up against, but again Coach Weyand's prodigies stole the show and the game with a tight defense, combined with a scoring punch that had the visitors on their heels when the chips were down.
A classy Fremont five gave the Links a run for their money in the semi-finals of the state tournament. Fresh from an impressive victory over a favored Creighton Prep team they pressed the Red and Black all the way, but the locals forged ahead in the closing minutes to gain the final berth against touted Benson. Undoubtedly the victory can be attributed to the air tight defense the Lincoln boys clamped on the outstaters, for the Fremont aggregation was held to one basket the entire second half. "A smooth well-coached club" amply describes the Fremont hoopsters who were rated by many a sport's scribe second only to the powerful Links in basketball circles.
It was a great season-and a great team, the "26-game, all-victorious" label speaks for itself and is significant in this rEspect. A basketball team, or any other combination, has its ups and downs, its "hot" and "cold" nights to use a common phraseology. It seems, then, that any team that can overcome natural handicaps and maintain a constant succession of wins is deserving of all the credit and praise that comes its way.

ANOTHER TOP YEAR
This year's reserve squad sported considerable _ talent in almost all departments and provided the optimistic sports fan an ample opportunity to gloat over the grid campaigns to come. Coach Worrall was greeted by a record turnout and maintained a large squad throughout the season's entirety. The Junior Links were all-victorious in their six-game schedule, the zenith of the campaign being their romp over a fairly strong Boys Town grid machine. It was an impressive sea-
son and speaks well for Lincoln's rating in athletic circles in the future.
The varsity maple-trippers shone so brightly this season that it was hard to detect the brilliance of "Chuck" Worrall's current edition of the Links reserves glowing in the distance. But the glow was there, and justly so, for the reserves had just finished an all-victorious 19game campaign taking on all comers, including Hildreth, this year's class D champ.

SENIORS, JUNIORS AND SOPHOMORES
The end of each school year is important in the life of every student. For us, the seniors, it is a time of anticipation. We view in retrospect the past three years, and plan with eagerness for a new adventure in our college or business careers.
Juniors who have looked with envy upon the privileges available to seniors, will have a chance now to accept the challenge of the new opportunities for leadership and accomplishment.
Sophomores with their high school life before them have an enviable place. The enthusiasm with which they enter high school is an inspiration to those who may have let opportunities pass by. They are
alert to the privileges here of filling student government positions; of establishing a high type of scholarship that they may be elected to the national honor society; of training for a journalistic career by working on the Advocate staff; of developing musical ability in band, orchestra, choir or other musical groups; of being appreciative readers and accomplished writers because of the training offered in English classes; of qualifying as linguists because of preparation in language classes. Many other courses which off er chances for adventure, achievement and personal satisfac\\ ti~n are open to In each _student ~i rests the respons1b1hty of makmg the !lmost of these opportunities.

"And Came the Spring" was the play chosen by the juniors for this year. It was a delightful comedy about an American family with three teen-agers in it. The plot" centers around the complications that Midge, the youngest daughter, threw into the lives of the people with whom she came in con tact.
The applause and laughter of the audience seemed to indicate that the play preserved the tradition of fine quality established by its predecessors.
The smooth organization and sincerity of acting characterizing the play, won the admiration of the audience which felt that the evening could scarcely have been spent in a more enjoyable way.
junior play advertising and property committee gather around the advertis ing sign in the front hall.
Jim Tomasek seems to be having difficulties with Paul Johnston and Phyllis Haley in junior play rehearsal.

THE MAN WHO CAME T O DINNER
SENIOR PLAY
"The Man Who Came to Dinner/' a satirical comedy about an eccentric old man who ridiculed his friends, seemingly unmercifully, to disguise his true warmhearted affection for them, was the seniors' choice for a play.
Its sparkling dialogue and intriguing plot held the closest attention of the audience from the first moment until the last. The cast gave a sincere performance with conviction and assurance that gr~atly enhanced the effect of the play -and brought it far above the ordinary standard.
Much difficult character interpretation was involved in this play, but the students did a really remarkable job. Spectators felt the forceful personality of each of the individual characters to such an extent that person's problems, joys, and sorrows became in a large measure theirs.

AU REVOIR
We, the senior class of Lincoln high school, expresses gratitude to the faculty for the training we have received here. We realize that through their far sightedness, patience and understanding we have had opportunities and privileges that would not have been possible, otherwise,
in these war years. We have spent three years here, happy but serious in the light of world events. We feel that we have a deep obligation to make Lincoln high as proud of us as we are of our school. We shall not forget.
