"A new frontier lies before us, the frontier of human relations." This fact was appreciated by every high school student at the citizenship committee assembly when, following a display of flags which showed the history of our famed banner, three Bo y Scouts presented Old Glory

In Lincoln high, on one fair day, A freshman new did stand.

Arrayed in brand-new clothes was he, A noteboo"k._ in his hand.

His courage was below the mar"/{ Where courage ought to be. He'd heard about the frightful deeds That seniors did, you see.

He winced at every little sound, He stayed close to the walls. 'Then on one sad and fateful day, He got lost in the halls.

Some say he died of lac"/{ of sleep, Some say it was starvation,

Some say- he would not as"/{ the way, And died of hesitation.

Although this freshman died in vain The fates to him were "/{ind. 'To carry on his high school life His ghost was left behind.

N._ow Archie is this young ghost ' s name, Of this he does not boast. Befrec"k._led is his up-turned nose Uncommon for a ghost.

Archie still lives his high school life And wanders gay but pale, So turn the leaves to see just how He figures in this tale.

ADMINISTRATORS

ADVISERS

FACULTY

STUDENT _ GOVERNMENT

Comprising an efficient administration outside of the school itself, are members of the board of education; superintendent of schools, M. C. Lefler ; and newly appointed assistant superintendent, David Sell. These three work unceasingly for the good of public schools.

Guiding the welfare of thousands of students, Mr. Lefler has given his earnest attention the past year to serve returned veterans and to develop more fully art, home arts and science.

Mr. Sell assumed his responsibilities as assistant superintendent only recently, having left his Lincoln high post in January, 1947, to take over the financial duties of the schocl system.

The school board is composed of six interested citizens who give freely of their time to interpret the people's wishes and convert them into usable practices in the schools. It has taken active steps to secure improvement in the financial condition of the public schools. The cooperative school survey recently taken proves the combined interest of parents, students and school officials The result of this survey will be used to improve conditions in public schools.

From the first sound announcement in the morning, until the halls are cleared of students in the late afternoon, H. C. Mardis is busy with tasks involved in guiding some 2,000 students.

When sophomores and newcomers enter Lincoln high, they are introduced to Mr. Mardis and the school routine by the orientation assembly held one day each week. The principal explains the school credit system, the nature of various clubs, and the function of student government. Also keeping in close contact with the school personnel, Mr. Mardis holds a faculty meeting semi-monthly to discuss problems pertaining to administration and curriculum.

A sincere friend of the students, Mr. Mardis sets a high goal for Lincoln high school in this his message to us:

Social and political democracy is not a new idea in the world, but this still very young country is the first country that has deliberately set out to ma~ e true demo~racy war~. Su.ch an ideal can be achieved only when citizens understand the ideals and master the s~ills and develop the attitudes necessary for the success of so large an u.nderta~ing.

Lincoln high school is one of the many thou.sands of social laboratories set u.p by this country for thi_, purpose. In this laboratory the individual is helped to discover, to develop and to expand his own

abilities and worthy desires. Here the individual has an opportunity to war~ with others for the best interests of the whole group, learning "The Democratic Way".

H. C MARDIS, principal

Mr . Mardis gives dictation to his secretary, Miss Dorothy Beever. ,,,

Guiding the masculine members of Lincoln high school by helping them with troublesome _ problems is the task of Otto Hackman, boys adviser and assistant principal. Mr. Hackman settles registration difficulties of the boys, helps to provide suitable after-school employment for students who desire it , and discusses the more perplexing matters in personal interviews with the boys and their parents

Mr. Hackman embarked on his career at the age of seventeen when he taught in a rural school. During World War I he served in the navy as petty officer and in the fall of 1917 came to Lincoln high, first teaching in the commercial department and in 1928 becoming adviser to boys

Here's a salute to Miss Dorcas Weatherby, who is every girl's adviser and friend. Miss Weatherby's room is always open and she is ready to lend a sympathetic ear to troubles concerning registration , class room difficulties and personal problems. A smile and a welcoming word always make one feel at ease in her office

How many students she has helped by words of advice, or those she has urged to better accomplishments is hard to estimate, but her interest and efforts have inspired many girls to attain the highest standards which lead to a successful life .

With one-fourth of the students in Lincoln high taking some form of business education, the commercial department must and does provide an excellent program of classes to fit the needs of pupils. To prepare these future business people for their chosen vocations, courses in typewriting, business law, bookkeeping, salesmanship, shorthand and office training are offered. Fundamentals of office work are stressed and students learn to operate modern office equipment, to file correctly and to follow instructions. Seniors are placed in good positions after graduation

!In memoriam

Melville F. Green , teacher of bookkeeping and English in the Lincoln high commerc ial department, died December 11, 1946.

In addition to a full teaching schedule, Mr. Green was the able director of the school bank, spending many hours in teaching pupils the value of banking knowledge

"He was a conscientious teacher, always willing to cooperate in his share of the work," said Frank Kane, commercial department head

Melville F Green in a statement to the Advocate, December 18.

"Mr. Green was an extremely hard working and conscientious instructor," stated the principal of the school, H. C. Mardis.

Pat Price ponder s her next words to dictate to Ellen Staberg in their office training class

Films, records and slides have played a large part in all English classes this year. Home radio programs such as "Information Please" and "Dr. I. Q." were transplanted to school soil to furnish a background for recognition of quotations and allusions to literature. N ewswriting classes addressed their newscasts to their classmates over the sound system.

To have something worth saying, speec:h classes delved into a study of the week's happenings in sports, politics, business, music and art. With genuine success, each pupil in a class in literature took one modern English writer for special study and served as the class authority on that author.

With tolerance as the keynote of their research, classes became increasingly aware of the value that different nationalities have been and are to the growth of our country.

Music and art classes of Lincoln high make . many contributions to the school and its reputation. Under direction of capable music teachers the traditional Christmas assembly, a service of beauty and solemnity, has been presented annually by the vocal groups. Choir, boys and girls glee clubs, girls octet, boys quartet and the orchestra were all active in giving assemblies and vesper concerts. Band members added much color to the football and basketball games by their stirring marches.

Responsible for beautifying the cafeteria with attractive paintings, the art classes also maintained a special case outside the office, displaying to interested pupils each week the fine artistry of some student. With high school training as a basis, many students will enter the art field professionally while others will always be grateful for a well defined appreciation of art.

Spanish, French and German classes feel close kinship to their fellow citizens in one world as they sing folk songs, conduct class business in a foreign tongue and view pictures and exhibits portraying life in Mexico, France or Germany.

Penetrating the intricacies of the parent tongue of many modern languages, Latin students gain insight into English grammar and add many words to their vocabulary. .As they read in Latin of Roman life and customs not only does the ,ghost of Caesar walk again, but ancient civilization comes to life.

Publicising the benefits to be derived from knowing many tongues, foreign language week was observed in Lincoln high this year with students preparing posters and exhibits During this week, correspondence with students in foreign countries was read and discussed in language classes

Lincoln high's health and physical education department has had a full and successful program the past year. In both boys and girls -physical education classes, physical fitness was stressed and taught in the form of valuable exercises and games and in supervised swimming groups. Results of these exercises were periodically recorded on scaled cards, allowing the pupil to notice improvements. Hearing examinations given many students and the X-ray mobile unit tests were extraordinary advancements in health circles. Findings of the chest X-rays were disclosed privately to students and their parents.

First aid classes learned that a thorough knowledge of first aid coupled with good common sense may prevent permanent injury or even save a life. Hygiene impressed upon students the importance of every day health care.

Future chefs and seamstresses in the superlative measure! That's the aim of our school's cooking and sewing classes. "Preparation for homemaking" might well be the motto of this department. Modern equipment, some purchased for the cooking classes this year, and the informal atmosphere add to the delight of the student's participation.

YCnswen,"ng the Challenge

Show cases, grocery displays, stacks of suitable reading material and gay yellow walls make the distributive education room one of the most novel

and interesting in the school. Those who wish a iuture in salesmanship and merchandising find adequate training in this curriculum which offers certain academic subjects and such specialized subjects as retail sales, merchandise mathematics, job hygiene and display.

This relatively new course has many advantages , one of the foremost being the opportunity of earning money while acquiring an education. The student may also get practical training in stores and receive school credit.

Government equipment is being sent to the Lincoln high shops by the army air field and surrounding states . A valuable mobile generator unit given by the Lincoln army air field on February 7 will produce 10 ,000 watts , enough power for the school. Its estimated cost was $2,300, but Lincoln high got it free. Also given to Lincoln high by the army were several electric hand tools, a sander and a plane, which are used in the woodwork classes.

A new multilith machine, which has been purchased for the printing classes , is able to increase or decrease the size of a page by means of photography .

Girls are taking auto mechanics for the first time since the war. " It ' s just like learning to cook," said one of the feminine mechanics.

Drafting, required of each pupil who takes a trades preparatory or industrial arts curriculum, is a course in basic fundamentals used in the trades and engineering fields. In all shop courses time · spent in the classroom precedes practical application in the work shops.

That the printing press is a complicated machine , is proved by John S arratt's industrious expre s sion

Realization that the world is ever changing and highly technical has made the mathemathics courses popular.

As a basis for college mathematics, algebra, trigonometry and solid geometry are offered. Commercial mathematics is invaluable to those planning a career and industrial mathematics equips the student to meet the problems of tomorrow.

This year, for the first time, a book written by the members of the department and the outgrowth of five years work, is being used in geometry classes. This important publication sets forth the value of cultivating the reasoning power.

The science department continues to help train youth to live successfully and happily in a world of accelerating scientific achievement. Progress is so rapid now that we experience magnitudes of change in a fraction of one lifetime greater than those formerly spanning countless generations.

To meet these problems of change , youth of today will need all the science training possible. Some new equipment has been received, but the wartime unbalance of available materials has not been fully overcome.

Help from scientific people is needed if we hope to control the atomic bomb wrote Dr. Albert Einstein, famed scientist, in a personal letter to J. D. Young, head of the Lincoln high science department.

To aid the pupil in realizing his responsibilities as a future citizen and in recogmzmg the problems that face the nation is the chief aim of social studies classes.

Economics classes learn about labor problems and international trade. Other history courses show the development of civilization from earliest man.

Our democratic form of government is based on the United States constitution. Therefore, a study of it is one of the most detailed in American history work Modern problems classes spend much time learning the fundamentals of world government by following the procedure of the United Nations conference.

" One World " is stressed in American history. Drawing maps according to recently signed peace treaties, is the intriguing task of world history students

Making personal visits to the homes of absent students is only one of the many duties of Miss Gundermann. Her day is full from the moment the absence slips are sent to the office in the morning till late afternoon when the last entry is made in the large attendance files. Many of Lincoln high ' s 2,000 students are personally acquainted with Miss Gundermann through her ' steady, efficient office work.

Its shelves well filled with over 8,000 books dealing with every phase of human knowledge, the library offers a pleasant place for studying or browsing. Here Miss Snyder is ever ready to help students find books for · class reference or personal enjoyment.

.An important branch of the student government is the home room representatives and alternate body. Consisting of the elected representatives of each home room in the school, this group keeps in close contact with the students and faculty.

Numerous important duties are performed throughout the school by the representatives and alternates. During this year's Red Cross drive a considerable sum of money was collected for the suffering people of the world.

Student and faculty contributions for the bronze plaque which commemorates the Lincoln high war dead in World War II, were also tGi:ken by the representatives.

Responsibility for producing an enjoyable High Spot is a heavy one, and the alternates and representatives work together on the many committees .Another committee on which

"Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." .Abraham Lincoln's noble words have proved their wisdom. Those countries under the rule of one have •too often failed; governments in which the people take an active part rise in their stead.

So in Lin~oln high school, represented by the student council, the student body has a voice in the policies and activities of the school.

The council is composed of twenty students -twelve seniors, six juniors and two sophomores. Prospective members of the law making body file preliminary petitions, then proceed to the primary and final elections. The latter faithfully imitates city elections. Thus members of the council are decided upon fairly by the pupils.

Services rendered by the council are many This year, in addition to the maintenance of activity records, and producing Joy Night, Lincoln high's popular talent show, the council has again published the Red and Black handbook.

Using the question-box method as a medium, the council and student body have worked together, showing the spirit of cooperation, which is the basis of sound judgment.

R.mid ghosts, insan e inmates, villains and a supposed murderer, the senior class rollicked to a successful presentation of One Mad Night.

Humorous yet weird excitement was the key note of this mystery farce which involves a young playwright and a damsel · in distress .

R.rriving a t his newly purchased country home the author fin ds it occupied by the inmates of an insane asylum. They fancy thems e lves everything from a ma d Frankenstein to Lady Macbeth. The part of the four inm ates presented difficult characterizations which were ably handled by the cast.

Off -stage sound effects and special lighting added much to the atmosphere which captured the attention of a capacity house.

Annette Carnahan captures the attention of her daughter played by Flora Ann Beutel and Ferne Tracy, their color,ed maid Doctor Bunn is portrayed by Keith Mills and Susan Turner is the housekeeper.

Cliff Berggren , an inmate who fancies hims-elf as Mr H yde, enters , but Frank Jacobs, an escaped convict , doesn't relax his guard Jack Wynkoop, Dick Merritt and Robert Askey look on.

Many opportunities are afforded to seniors by local and national contests, which give honor and distinction to the winner as well as in many cases , scholarships to colleges and universities.

Ninety-four pupils, who stand scholastically , in the upper twenty-five percent of the sen i or class, were eligible to take the Regents scholarship examination Two hundred and fifty Nebraska high school students will be selected as winners of the test. This scholarship exempts the winner, for the freshman year, from university tuition fees.

Each year in the annual awards assembly , some Lincoln high boy is awarded the coveted Harry Sidney Dobbins medal , given for excellence in athletics and scholarship. Lawrence Edwin Donegan was the 1946 winner.

The United Nations contest, which consisted of four essay type questions on the United Nations organizations, was given to twenty-seven Lincoln high students on March 28 . Forrest Mozer's and Geraldine Mitchell's papers were ju dged as Lincoln high's winners and were forwarded to Lake Success to be judged w ith pape.s from all over the country in the nation al contest. Joan Philipsen and Gerald Goede won honorable mention at Lincoln high.

Geraldine Mitchell and Forrest Mozer, Lincoln high's United Nations contest winners, study the U.N. charter.

Four-year college scholarships are awarded to high school seniors on the basis of aptitude , scholastic standing, leadership and financial need by the Pepsi-Cola company as part of its public service program.

Thirty-l:wo Lincoln high seniors competed in the examination for scholarships , which provide full tuition for four years of college, and laboratory, library and health fees, with twenty-five dollars a month for three years to help defray living expenses and some traveling costs. One hundred twenty-one scholarships and six hundred certificates of merit are awarded. Each certificate carries with it a cash award of fifty dollars .

In the local field, organizations sponsored essay and oratorical contests and many senior girls entered the Rotary contest by making their graduation dresses. The Lincoln .R.ltrusa club gave twenty-five senior girls vocational counseling through personal interviews and aptitude tests.

Although winning one of these contests is an honor, the highest goal a student can attain while in Lincoln high is to be elected to the national honor society. Only graduating seniors who are in the upper fifteen percent of the senior class are eligible for membership in the society.

The poignant tale of two American co-eds and their lively adventures in france constituted an evening's entertainment for a packed Lincoln high school auditorium. The occasion was the presentation of the annual junior class play, Our Hearts Were Young 9nd Gay.

Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kimbroug!-1 are the Bryn Mawr girls who manage to entangle themselves in various predicaments, many of which prove slightly embarrassing. On the boat they manage to acquire boy friends within the first day but Cornelia doesn't stop with this. She also acquires a case of measles. ?arallel situations occur throughout the comedy.

An interesting note was the use of two sepa rate st_age settings in the play.

Come fall, school starts to the outward dismay of all concerned. Actually the only people with a problem are the sophomores, who will get lost in the no-longer-new addition for most of the first six weeks. Once past this hurdle, they settle down to the ritual in which they will spend the next three years.

The school year really started with the football season, which eclipsed all such events as the newcomers and sophomore parties, the senior play and examinations. L.H.S.'s school spirit always ran high and the pupils turned out in fair or foul weather to support the team. The Peppers led in the cheering when they were not selling popcorn, apples and candy to the evident relief of those who arrived at five o'clock for good seats, or for any seat at_ all. Between halves the band entertained with some stirring tunes and the majorettes added to the general spirit of things by leading them very prettily.

At an outdoor assembly the fire department showed off their new fire engines complete with a collapsible ladder that swung around in the air to audible comments that "you couldn't get me on that thing for love or money." It was nice to know that if one of the fire drills turned out to be the reaf thing, the school could burn down with the assistance of the latest equipment.

Majorettes are the center of half-time attention Jane Borcherding, Bernice Schwindt, Betty Eichorn , Doris Gillett.

Summer cVadtngJ

After years of campaigning, the school fi- nally increased the lunch period from half an hour to forty-five minutes. This allowed time for eating a balanced meal at the proper speed, not that anyone took advantage of it when such entertainments as dancing and, for the girls, hair combing, were offered. From time to time various other amusements came into vogue Bridge clubs with regular times and meeting places were organized and the members took turns providing the salted pea- nu ts. These gatherings rather died out at the advent of motion pictures in the auditorium and it was at this point that pupils again began to be late returning to class rather than miss the end of Bugs Bunny. All in all, the new lunch period was a great success and appre- ciated by everyone

At the beginning of the year physical exam- inations were given to all, and each semester height and weight were checked. As an added feature hearing tests were now given and Sue Turner turned out to have perfect hearing

Lingering too long over lunch means ling,ering school, even with the 45-minute lunch period .

Throughout the year announcements were given over sound by Mr. Mardis and for a change by members of the speech classes.

Senior color day was that class 's best op- portunity to rejoice in its superiority . Members wore green and white chains made by a tire- less committee -and signed each other 's as- sembly programs in a lordly manner. The as- sembly was, of course, a work of art, with talented classmen participating.

The school week before Christmas vacation was one of growing anticipation. Various organizations and groups planned their own celebrations and the school as a whole had a full program. The last day particularly the students felt surprised resentment toward any teacher who expected serious recitation.

This day began with the traditional Christmas assembly consisting of truly lovely antiphonal singing in the darkened auditorium by the boys and girls glee and senior choir After lunch the girls octet and boys quartet sang carols through the halls, pleasantly disrupting class ' until 3:00, when vacation and two weeks of no studies began.

For most of the scholars the end of the first semester, coming soon after vacation, meant only final report cards, but for the January seniors it was good-bye to L. H. S. Whether they went on to college, married or got a job with pay, a phase of their life was definitely Page 74

over and commencement exercises were equally glad and sad.

The last play of the season was the junior play, the Mummers play having been presented in December. Like all such productions it was a great success, but enjoyed quite as much by the cast as by the audience, who didn't have the fun of rehearsals and the party afterward. The performance turned in by the efficient doormen and usherettes was as usual just as good as that of the cast.

During March, x-rays were taken of everyone who was not afraid and did not mind having his internal structures laid bare. It was too bad that not all took advantage of an expensive process made available free by a solicitous school board. School no longer merely teaches one how to take care of himself but gives practical demonstration and lets him out of class whiie doing it.

But the awards garnered by the swimming team offered some compensation.

Sponsored by the home room representatives for the year, the first High Spot party, complete with the usual attractions, dancing, games and food was staged January 30 and despite bad weather was a great success because of the efforts of an energetic central committee. Unfortunately the Valentine dance was postponed until next year.

The Flag Day assembly was a notable and interesting performance of the citizenship committee and the first of their many activities. The entire committee folded napkins printed with courtesy slogans for the cafeteria and for a week classroom behavior reminders were written daily on the blackboard in each room. Under the inspiration of this committee a considerable start was made in collecting money for the bronze plaque commemorating the war dead of World War II. Special effort was directed also to getting pupils to clean out lockers for their own and their neighbors' benefit.

Safety committee members started off best foot forward by taking down dingy old fire exit signs and replacing them with easily-read new ones. They then painted white strips on the rather dimly lighted stairwells in the auditorium and "Up" and "Down" signs on the proper sides of the main staircases, preventing several traffic jams daily . .A.s their greatest contribution they systematized the parking system

C.atching the fast moving phases of school life has taxed the Links artists, photographers and writers. With war devastations behind, but post-war problems still keen, new ventures appearing by the moment gave the Links board a vitally interesting field. Ranging from safety signs on the stairs to extended noon-hour motion pictures, dancing and games, diverse features kept cameras clicking.

In its role as a record of activities, .the Links presents a review of notable events of the year just past. Sometimes it recalls a speaker, a High Spot, a basketball game or a particular act in Joy Night. Thus it is a diary of the year's activities, one so prized that a senior who left Lincoln high school for the navy twenty years ago is pleased to have earned a

The Links contains representative pictures of the clubs and events, which will serve as an aid in years to come to bring back nostalgic remembrances of good times. Besides the photographic review of the graduating class, there are for the first time this year, individual pictures of sophomores and juniors.

In this, the thirty-first Links, we have touched the pulse of Lincoln high to show the qualities which are taught to the students. We have tried to introduce all organizations and events which point out the abilities developed and the democratic teachings which have been bred in these pupils.

CHOIR

With strains of the beautiful Gilbert and Sullivan opera, The Mikado, filling the auditorium , the Lincoln high senior choir, under the experienced direction of Hugh Rangeler , and sung by a highly talented cast , has again given a commendable performance.

The plot of The Mikado revolves around Nanki Poo , the Mikado's son, who is disguised as a wandering minstrel to avoid a determined older woman, Katisha. He meets and immediately falls in love with the ward and brideto-be of Ko Ko Since Ko Ko commits the dastardly crime of flirting and is sentenced to be beheaded, the lovers are temporarily in a dreamy state. Through a masterful stroke of the composer 's pen, Ko Ko is pardoned and becomes the Lord High Executioner.

This ruins everything, until the Mikado decides there have been too few executions. Then Ko Ko is in trouble. Nanki Poo wants to commit suicide because of his somewhat impossible love affair, but he agrees to let Ko Ko execute him, if he can marry Yum Yum and live with her for a month This is fine until Yum

Yum discovers that a widow has to be buried with her husband. Ko Ko figures out the perfect solution, he forges a death certificate for Ncinki Poo and tells a gory story to the Mikado.

All is perfect until Katisha notices that Nanki Poo is the prince, and creates quite a disturbance. Hearing the Mikado vaguely mention boiling oil, Ko Ko flees to Nanki Poo for aid. Since the young lovers are married, the only solution for Ko Ko is to marry Katisha, who is very dominating and influential. Ko Ko makes this supreme sacrifice, so all ends in a rosy glow of happiness.

"What are the prospects, coach?" is a familiar question to the Lincoln high coaches, who have again this year turned out fine teams in every sport.

Additions to the coaching staff this year are Harold Scott, assistant track coach, and Bill Kinnamon who is taking over " Chuck" W orrall' s duties as head baseball coach. Coach Worrall, on leave of absence because of a severe back injury, returned later.

The remainder of · the staff includes Lyle Weyand, whose regular duties are varsity basketball mentor and assistant football coach, and Bill Pfeiff, head football and track coach. Bill and Lyle turned out another top football team and a superior basketball squad.

Ralph Beechner, new in the role of athletic director, schedules all sporting events and secures new athletic equipment. An important step was taken by "Beech" when he and Mr. Mardis had blue prints drawn for the enlargement of the Lincoln high oval. As the plan stands, dressing rooms, an up to date training room and a gymnasium classroom will be installed, and the seating capacity of the oval will be increased from 8,000 to 13,000.

.. Beginning the 1946 season, the Red and Black flashed past last year's co-state champs, Gothenburg, by 21-0. Gothenburg never - got started and offered no serious threat. Capek , Knopp and Moore each scored a touchdown to knock Gothenburg off the top post.

Kearney was no match for the powerful Links who romped to a 45-0 win, with Lincoln's flashy reverses running the Bearcats all over the field.

Top worries came flooding into Coach Pfeiff's mind at Sioux City . The outcome of the high scoring affair showed that the Red and Black's hot offense outlasted Central _by 32-25. Tied at the end of the third frame, the Links were put out in front to stay by Mel Knopp ' s running and passing.

The Scottsbluff fray was a wild affair. The Red and Black, remembering their fatal tie of last year racked up a 13-6 count, but the Bluffers came back with another score. The

ki c k for the extra point was not good and thus Lincoln gained a 13-12 win.

The long awaited Lincoln-Northeast game turned into somewhat of a rout with Knopp crossing the double stripe in the first seventeen minutes.

Lincoln's powerful line completely stopped the Rock e ts' fizzling offense and they never got past the Links' 45-yard line . The Red and Black held Northeast to a total of 49 yards and handed therri their worst defeat in LincolnNortheast history by a score of 20-0.

Favored against the Links, the South High Packers proved no opposition. Nothing could go wrong for the mighty Red and Black and they racked up touchdown after touchdown against the undefeated Packers, adding a little razzle dazzle for a score of 33-7.

The Tech Maroons ran the Links all over the field when, early in the first quarter a Tech pass put over a touchdown to lead 6-0. On

The Links, badly beaten up by Tech's line, came back with a score for 6-6 at the half. One more score gave the Lincoln men the edge in the third frame when they drove 85 yards for a 13-6 count.

Omaha Central failed to give Lincoln ::x scramble and the Red and Black ran wild, scoring whenever they pleased for a 59-6 count.

Then came the only defeat, at Grand Island. The punchless "Islanders" took advantage of the mud and wet cold to outlast the Links 6-0 in very clever football. Grand Island scored early on a jump pass and Lincoln could never get started. The final game proved to be a heart-breaker for the Pfeiff men, but they had turned in another successful season with eight wins and the Missouri Valley Championship title.

"Victory, victory," were the cries heard from Coach Worrall's mighty junior Links as they came through another undefeated season.

The junior Links trampled many strong teams, and -they whipped Boys Town twice. Wymore, the only threat, held the Red and Black scoreless until the last two minutes of play when the reserves marched from their own 20 yard line to a touchdown, stopping Wymore 7-0.

With practically no weak points, this squad should produce fine material for the coming year.

Football fundamentals were the first things Ralph Beechner, new north field coach, taught a fine squad this past year. "Beech" divided the north field group into several teams, switching them around into smooth combinations. "Web" Emery, assistant coach, had charge of the backfield and Beechner, th~line.

Intramural scrimmages were held with the blues and reds pretty evenly matched . They played two games with the second and third team reserves, giving them a rough game both times, winning the first 6-0, but losing the second 13-7.

A string of eight complete victories enabled Coach Lyle Weyand 's cagey cagers to cop another Missouri Valley title. The title game between the Red and Black and Abe Lincoln proved a thriller with numerous surprises thrown at the Links before they came through to win.

The mighty maple pounders came through with nineteen wins and five losses , an intercity title, and runners up in the district and state meets. Lincoln lost the hair raising title fray to Grand Island 40-36 and a very cold game to Northeast in the district finals 25-20

Showing that they could pull through, the Weyand men squeezed a 45-44 decision by stopping Fritz Davis and his Northeast crew m the annual intracity classic.

A. "black sheep" Omaha Tech five sneaked up on the Links and as the gun sounded, the score was tied at 35 all. In the only overtime of the season, Lincoln slapped in two quick bask e ts and a free throw to win 40-35. The · Links were double winners over Hastings, Omaha Central, Omaha Tech and Nebraska City

Undefeated Omaha South met the capital city crew, only to be humiliated 48-28 by the master marksmanship of Pierce a:r:i.d Means Two strong Sioux City squads were visited by the powerful Links, and with a little extra zip, the Links knocked out both dubs to add two more wins to the Missouri Valley ra c e.

It was all Lincoln , as they did a turn-about, defeating the Scottsbluff boys 52-28 The " Bluffers " came to Lincoln for the state contest and the Links again came out on top, 40-22.

The mighty Red and Black had no trouble in the first two rounds of the district and state meets. They bounced past Fairbury and Nebraska City in the district games, Scottsbluff and Hastings in the state fray , but lost in the finals of each meet.

The Lincoln high mermen after several defeats came back in a thrilling climax to win over their bitter rivals, Omaha Tech, 68-62 to become state champs.

Before this meet the Links lost to Tech twice, 37-29 and 38-28. However the splashers defeated Boys Town three times, once 68-12 in the state meet and twice in dual meets, 37-28 and 49-16 . The other Lincoln opponent was the Omaha Legion club who dunked the Links 36-30 and 44-20.

These tireless tanksters under coach " 1N eb" Emery came through with four losses and three wins and annexed a state championship.

Fine prospects were again on hand for the Lincoln high tennis team this year. Although Dick Means was the only returning letterman to help defend the state and· Missouri Valley titles , qther experienced boys, Mendell Archerd and Donn Davis, who earned distinction last year , stood by ably during the season.

Last year these netters ran off with every title and are on the way to def end Lincoln high school against all rivals as the year doses. Besides those mentioned, Dick Salladin , Bob Fulk and Don Eicher were prospective candidates.

Fairways were again the thing this year. Athletic director Beechner , acting cocch for both golf and tennis, found three letrermen back to defend their state title.

Stan Stroh, Ted O'Shea and Jack Heckenlively are working toward another title. Other leading golfers competing in the elimination tournament were LaVern Gronquist , Ervin Peterson and Joe Gifford, the last a transfer who has shown plenty of golfing a~ility.

Lincoln high diamondmen started their much delayed opening game with a bang, by stopping Boys Town 4-1, when after four cancellations, old man weather permitted and gave the Red and Black their win Ray Howell struck out fifteen men and Pete Kortum hit the first home run of the season.

The Links traveled to Omaha Central next, but were given trouble by too many errors and lost 4-1. Gerlach made the only run of the day.

In their initial home encounter the diamondmen staved off a late rally by Creighton Prep and were victorious, winning by a score of 7 to 5.

Bill Kinnamon, new coach, put out a fine team this season with the nine returning lettermen back for more ball including Pete Kortum, Merle Debus, Mel Knopp, Ray Howell, Stan Gerlach, Guy Neilson, Tom Wilson, Bob Hubbell and Don Ruby. Promising men back from last year though not lettering are Virgil Jacobs, Bob Lohrberg and Dick Delaney.

Bill Pfeiff, new head ~oach, and Harold Scott, new assistant coach, started off the track season successfully by winning the Columbus invitational defeating seven strong class A schools.

Eight lettermen answered Pfeiff's call and showed fine possibilities for future meets. The twenty-man squad making the trip to Columbus brought back two trophies, the · regular meet trophy and the memorial best miler cup won by Bill Egger, a sophomore miler, in his first race.

The Links capitalized in :1early all events at jhe Columbus meet, by placing in every one except the 220 yard dash. Don Batt and Bob George took first and second respectively in the shotput as did Ed Weir and Dale. Capek in the low hurdle. Bill Egger and Bill Burns won first and second place in the mile.

£est We (;forget

Reaching the clos ing pages of this 194 7 Links , we recognize the help that many individuals have given to the Links board in time of need .

Mr . Mardis , Mr . Hackman and Miss Weatherby were always on hand to aid in questions of policy and the entire office force cooperated to the fullest extent so that late bits of in formation could be added to make the Links more nearly complete

Our apprec iation goes to Miss Helene Schemel , who for three weeks graciously relinquished her home room in 403 so that formal group p i ctures could be taken there

Nanc y Ben jam in wrote the clever ballad at the beg inning of the book and Olive Gettman , Wallace Barnett and Virginia Koch contributed specia l pieces of copy .

Thanks go to Gene Shipps for the fine Links poster, Frances Wallace , who designed the 194 7 Links cover and the Advocate staff for publicity given to Links affairs . The time -consuming task of developing the sophomore and junior pictures was finally finished with the t ireles s help of Jack Loudon , Walter Weaver , Doane P i ckering and Duane Sm ith
