LEADERS IN THE G REAT]
Gilbert S Willey, associate superintendent of schools, will become superintendent of the Lincoln system on July first of this year, upon the retirement of M. C. Lefler.
Dr. Willey comes to Lincoln with twenty years of experience behind him, having served as superintendent in the Trinidad, Denver, and Pueblo , Colorado , school systems. Expressing his enthusiasm for the Lincoln schools, he emphasized the fact that both teachers and patrons have shown unusual interest in improving all phases of the Lincoln schools.
This year, while serving in the capacity of associate superintendent, Dr. Willey became acquainted with the Lincoln school system and had direct responsibility for the instructional program. He felt that he had good opportunities during this year to lay plans for the future. A specific accomplish • ment during this period was the development of the organization for instructional improvement. Thi s plan involves all of the teachers and is designed to permit everyone concerned to make a contribution towards improving our schools.
Mr. Willey has a personal contact with Lincoln high school, for his daughter Miriam is a senior here. He is interested in knowing all of the Lincoln pupils better.
Already plunging into the huge task of Associate Superintendent of Schools is Gilbert S Willey
President of the local department store, Elmer E. Magee is serving his second term on the Board.
Adding charm to the board is Mrs Roscoe Hill, their vice-president , a capab!e woman leader in the city.
George Lemon, president, is owner and proprietor of the Peerless Cleaners
v.1ACHINE OF EDUCATION
Of his twenty-eight years of service as superintendent of schools, Millard C. Lefler stated: "It has been a very great pleasure and opportunity to be associated with the Lincoln school system. I have great faith in the ultimate effectiveness of democratic education. I wish to recommend to the Lincoln pupils the constant pursuit of this kind of education with the view of making their lives count in the greatest possible way in the day ie which they live. The world sorely needs young • men and women of character who are thoroughly prepared and devoted to useful service."
On July 1, 1948, Millard C. Lefler's resignation becomes effective and he will step down from the position of superintendent of the Lincoln schools.
Mr. Lefler has been associated with the Lincoln school system for thirty-one years. He first came to this city in 1917 as assistant principal of Lincoln high school. For the next two years, he was assistant superintendent of the schools and research director for the city. In 1920 he became superintendent and has held that position ever since.
Mr. Lefler observed that the percentage of children who now graduate from high school has grown considerably and there have been great gains in the holding power of the schools. He stressed the importance of adult education and made it clear that the graduation from high school should truly be a commencement in the field of learning.
Millard C. Lefler, Superintendent of Schools , answers a telephone call during a busy day, typical of the many he has experienced during his thirty years of distinguished s!?rvice.
Vice-president of the First Trust Company is john Whitten
The most recent addit:on to this · group is Professor john P. Senning of the University of Nebraska.
Robert C. Venner serves his community in addition to being St.ate Manager for Farmers' Insurance Group
Willing to assist pupils at any time, Mr. Mardis checks the records with Bob Burbach, Beverly Staley, and Sally Messer.
HAROLD C. MARDIS
This is to introduce Harold C. Mardis, principal of Lincoln high school. You were expecting, maybe, "the walking man?" Mr. Mardis is kept busy with the managing of Lincoln high school. A familiar figure around school, he also serves on many committees outside school, which deal with the school affairs or welfare. Typical of this service is his membership on the Lincoln safety council. Mr. Mardis has also been very active in promoting driver education in the schools , and Lincoln high school now has the benefits of this recent innovation.
INTERPRET
Never seeming to tire of his responsibilities as principal, H. C. Mardis guides the destiny of nearly two thousand students .
DORCAS WEATHERBY
The Links just wouldn't be complete without a Weather (by) prediction. The forecast is lair and agreeable, a description that suits Dorcas Weatherby to perfection. This occupant of room 210 serves as girls adviser and handles all college scholarship material. She aids girls with their registrations, and helps them out of any difficulties confronting them. She also fills our reports for jobs from old records. Your troubles will always be cleared up after a Weather (by) report.
OTTO W. HACKMAN
Yes, he's tall, dark and Hackman. His official title is assistant principal, but Otto W. Hackman also serves as boys adviser, handles student-teacher problems , helps students with registration, makes adjustments in students' programs, and holds con~ ferences with parents. He also helps with the supervision of the halls and makes recommendations for jobs from the records here. Sure, he has homework. (Wonder if he has too many E. C. A. points.)
Assistant principal and boys adviser, Otto W Hackman, has helped many boys through his wise counseling and generous use of time
Mrs. Ruth Boucher and Mabel Neuman, office assistants, and Dorothy Seever , secretary to the principal, perform varied duties.
Seldom seen without her cheerful smile, Miss Dorcas Weatherby is an inspi ration to students as girls adviser.
STU D ENT co.a
Student council, which represents all grades , is one of Lincoln highs legislative bodies. One of the many accomplishments of the council this year was the editing and selling of the Red and Black handbook co all pupils. Not only sophomores, but juniors and seniors realized they still had things co learn about the school. Another tremendous success, as in ocher years, was the annual Joy Night production. With twenty-one big acts, it proved its success not only to the school but to the general public.
Beverly Jo Powell, Jo Ann O'Brien, and Mary Sidner perform the regular council duty of checking E. C. A. records
Completing work on the Red and Black handbook are Jack Loudon, Jeanne Vierk, Dick Resseguie and Dick Irwin

THROUGH THEI REPRESENT1
Y-teens, reps and alternates cooperate in packing Red Cross boxes. Engaged in this project are Betty Gieseke, Pat Crowl, Robert Deems, Kathryn Schneider, Doris Kendle and Harlan Wiederspan.
"Absence makes the reps work harder" as is demonstrated by Yvonne Shrader, JoAnn Ruehle, Sue Kimball, Daffkney Easterday, Donna Schafer and Margaret Korn.
The home room representatives and alternates duties are not secrets to anyone. You're all familiar with Franklin 's, Napoleon's, Schmoe's or other note-worthy persons quotations upon the blackboard each week. It 's a rep or alt who writes those promtpness reminders That hero who scrapes up class dues, sells activity tickets and takes absence slips to the office all at the same time--these are, yep you guessed it.
One representative and one alternate are elected from each home room. Being a rep is certainly a decided advantage. You miss half of fourth period every two weeks.
Representaciv~s and alternates work together on many committees The planning for Hi-spot is done by one of these committees. The repre- sentatives accomplished the opening of a study room for early-birds and the setting up of a code of standards for assembly conduct. (It 's now legal to whistle in pep assemblies.)
All in all, the representatives and alternates are busy little bees, dealing with and helping solve the schools problems.

AND INTERPRETATION
drivers. The students learn to drive by actual experience in dual control cars which are provided especially for this educational program, and no previous knowledge is required before enrolling in the class. This is the first year that drivers education has been offered at Lincoln high, and the enthusiasm ·with which the course has been accepted proves that it will become a regular part of our curriculum.
The average teen-ager has many personal problems, and the course designed to study them is called modern problems. Personality, family relations, marriage preparation, and other subjects of vital fncerest are discussed, and through these discussions many pupils derive valuable aid in molding the patterns of their daily living. This class deals with world, national and civic situations that affect everyone, and is a great step toward preparation for the future.

The colorful football season every fall is made complete by the presence of the Lincoln high band in their brilli~.nt uniforms. Many do not realize the time and effort spent by the band in order that they may perform with such precision and skill." As they march down the field in perfect formation, it is very evident to all that the band is superior. Besides the great moral support they provide sporting events, the band gives a concert of symphonic music in the spring.
The orchestra entertains many times during the school year. Their part in the opera as well as the music provided for the plays, is thoroughly enjoyed. Training a student receives iB these two organizations is invaluable, for the experience gained under capable leadership is an incentive to continue in his own particular field.
The BOYS GLEE this year has continued the fine reputation established in previous years by its excellent performances.

An organization gaining more recognition each year is the SOPHOMORE GIRLS GLEE. The opportunity for knowledge in group singing is instrumental in building capable advanced groups. Preparation for future membership in public performing groups was aided by their program presented at open house. -91-
The GIRLS GLEE gave many commendable performances throughout the year, and perhaps one of the most outstanding of these was their beautiful antiphonal singing for the Christmas assembly. This popular organization also provided an effective assembly and gave their time to appearances at civic clubs, junior high schools, and Joy Night.
THESE ADVANCED GROUPS
The choir of a hundred voices highlighted their season in the performance of "Patience", a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. The beautiful sacred numbers given both in the Christmas and Easter assemblies did much to create the atmosphere of solemnity and reverence desired. In addition, the choir has maintained its traditional high standards m numerous public performances.

Whether French, Spanish or German is chosen, the road to better world cooperation has begun. By the study of these one learns to appreciate the literature and culture of other nations as well as to gain practical knowledge in the speaking of the language. - Fifty-two percent of all English words are derived directly from Latin, and this is only one of the many important effects Latin hrts had on our language.

WEEKLY EVENTS
Advocate distribution each Wednesday produces a scene of peace and quiet in each home room. Everyone is busily engaged reading the sport page, the static, or many other interesting and informative articles, because the policy of this newspaper is to please the readers, and not merely to strive for an award or high rating.
The staff also endeavors to reflect world situations through editorials, special interviews, and articles pertaining to current events of special interest to the students. Many contests and campaigns have credited a large amount of their success to the support and cooper~tion received from the Advocate.
Lincoln high students are not the only ones who realize that the Advocate is outstanding This year it received recognition from the Scholastic Editor, a national magazine devoted to high school journalism, and the eighteenth All-American Rating was again awarded by the National Scholastic Press association.

There is much competition for the students completing one semester of journalism who wish to secure positions of the staff of the Advocat e, as the number is limited to thirty. This newspaper business isn ' t quite as glamorous as it appears to be , because behind the printed page are many hours of hard work.

The combined effort and collective brainwork of the board and staff members under the excellent guidance of Mrs Winifred Walker, Miss Elizabeth Grone and Frank Kane , have finally resulted in the 1948 Links. Because of the numerous layouts , pictures , copy and the ever-presenr deadline , room 3 19 has been the scene of much confusion as well as industry. The many hours spent from morning until night in the making of the Links have produced a book which is a true representation of the varied activities of this high school.

Science today presents some of the most interesting and important problems facing us in modern times. In order that the various sciet)ces may be represented, the club is divided into LOmmittees on definite fields.
The members work on their favorite subject as much as possible and make reports to the club at large. This plan offers excellent opportunity and incentive for the members t0 work individually. Dick Holze demonstrated the Ouden coil. This is an electrical induction coil <'perating on a neon sign transformer which produces about a million volts. The extremely high voltage produced by the coil makes it possible to create a two-inch spark and to light an electric bu]b across the room.
Motion pictures are secured from various sources. Mr. W. D. Frankfurter, professor of paleontology at the University of Nebraska, spoke to the dub and showed colored films of the rich finds recently excavated in our own state.
Miss Valeria Bonnell and J. D. Young sponsor the club.
Duane Ainlay and Ralph Neller put on a color demonstration for the science club.
Some things have to be done in the dark. The school has a darkroom for the use of the members of the camera club.
One of the major undertakings of the club this year, under the guidance of Miss Elizabeth Grone and 0. H. Hedrick, is a fifteen minute color film interpreting the work of the school. Class activities, the sports program and even new driver education will all appear in the picture which will be shown as a part of ~he schools public relations program.
The Picture of the Month contest is another of the organizations projects. The winning snapshot is printed in the Advocate and posted on the main bulletin board.
Some useful tips on color photographs have been given to the club by Mr. Earl Bates and Mr. Ken Amon. Mr. Jimmy Roth spoke on newspaper photography and photo engraving and Mr. Bill De Vriendt entertained the members with a talk and demonstration on posing for annuals

Y-Teens is open to any girl in school. The clubs activities include everything that the girls are interested in. Each girl takes active part in the club and is a member of one of the six committees. The committees are social, public affairs, program, finance, publicity, and music.
Parties of all types are planned and given by the social committee at school, at the Y. W. C. A. or, in the case of outside parties, almost anywhere. The members go on an occasional picnic and sometimes treat the fellows to a hayrack ride. One of the biggest parties is the annual snowball dance. It is sponsored by all four of the Lincoln high schools and it is hoped that it will become a tradition.
The program committee does an excellent job of providing worthwhile entertainment for the meeting. Doctor Palmer, the school doctor, gave an address on preparation for marriage. Nancy Glynn, alumna of Lincoln high and head of the college board at Ben Simon's department store was asked in to give the club a preview of the spring fashions. In collaboration with the music committee George Randol sang and gave a brief talk on his career. It is hoped that Mrs. Fleda Ziegenbein will be able to appear for one of the meetings this spring. The members also present programs of their own talent which is considerable since the club is the largest in school.

PLANNING FOR HOME~ WORK AND PLAY
Hi-Spot committee members, Donna Grueber, Mitzie Moyle, Bill Eddy, Richard Lauer and Rex Walker plan the schools favorite Friday night entertainments.
Educational lectures are the order of the day in the art club and it's very encouraging to note that some of the lecturers are former members, quite successful in their fields.
Among the ~any who have returned are Keith Martin, former president of the· club, who recently had a one-man exhibit in the Miller and Paine galleries, and Phillip Yost, professor in the arc department at the University of Syracuse. - Mr. Yost spoke on commercial design. Hal Wilmeth is scheduled co give a talk on the art he saw in Italy during the war. He is also an alumnus of Lincoln high and is now on the University of Nebraska faculty.
One of the annual events which the club always attends in a body is the Nebraska art association exhibits.
The sponsors are Miss Helen Wilson and Miss Gladys Dana.

The big turnout for HOME EC CLUB is usually directly due to the clever invitations the officers get out every other Monday by working like mad. Their subjects range from baking to basting with field trips and lectures both interesting and educational.
At the end of the year, having learned everything there is to know from their sponsors, Miss Etmund and Mrs. Henninger, the club puts on a style show in a special assembly for all the girls in Lincoln high. The fashions and models are by courtesy of the members, who enjoy it almost at much as the audience.
The DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION ASSOCIATION sponsored by Mrs. Jane Fox, also climaxed its years activities with an assembly, this one depicting the hazards and joys of life in a department store plus the do's and don't's of selling the members learned in retail salesmanship. All students of this course are eligible to belong to the club, and they are certainly the only people energetic enough to meet before school.
The local association is currently considering expanding into a state organization which would in turn join the Future Retailers of America, a flational organization. Both 'the club and the school hope it comes through.

TO EXCEL IN ATHLETIC ABILIT'Y
Outstanding sportswoman, Ruth Ann R ichmond, was chosen as recipient of the 1948 Cup Girl award.
The G. A. A. member chosen for this annu::i l honor must excel in sportsmanship, leadership, citizenship and scholarship. She then passes th,~ vote of her colleagues and the final choice is that of a faculty board. In athletics, Ruth Ann participated in nearly everything with the possible exception of playing fullback with the varsity football team. She lettered in three sports: speedball, softball and horseback riding, earning emblems in tennis, salesmanship and hiking. Twice elected an officer in G. A. A., Ruth Ann served in the capacity of president and vice-president of the organization.
Proof of her ability in leadership, citizenship and scholarship can be shown by her membership in national honor society. Other prominent activities include orchestra, band, state music clinic and participation in t11c G A. A. act in Joy Night.

Caught between battles of wits are the debaters, Ruth Sorensen, Barbara Mann, Vernon Davidson, Chester Adams, Richard Irwin, Maxine Degenfelder, Sharon Worth and Rita Schindel.
AND EXPRESSION OF THOUGHT
The debate team, under the direction of Miss Florence Jenkins, spent most of the year arguing about compulsory arbitration and the Taft-Hartley Law. The study of this labor law helped in their history and modern problems classes, and most of them are regarded as geniuses for being able to understand its provisions. They are at least talented, for Ruth Sorensen and Barbara Mann won second place at the Missouri Valley tournament in competition with the best girls teams of Council Bluffs and Omaha high schools, and received a superior rating at the Fine Arts Festival , to show that girls as well as boys can argue.
The Faulkner Cup is dead! It'5 full and used up Long live the Forum Cup! The first one to have his name engraved on it is Dick Irwin, who won over Charles Thompson and Maxine Degenfelder, the other finalists in assembly. There were two other contestants.

THERE ARE SOME TO CHEER FOR
Peppers is a group created to promote school spirit and to boost all athletic teams. Eligibility is based on scholarship, citizenship, and results of tryouts, consisting of a song and a yell. These are judged by the sponsors, Mrs. Virginia Butt and Mrs. Emogene Moor and a group of students and faculty members. Membership is limited to sixty members.
Peppers meet on alternating Fridays to discuss procedures and problems concerning their many duties. The club is divided into small squads through whom the members are reminded that their presence is required at pep assemblies or games.
PEPPERS: Fifth Row: Bowers, Fulton, Sidner, Sinner, Newman, A. Mockett, Powell, Marshall, Pecha, Van Pelt, Jewett,Osterman, House.

First Row: Letman, Finney, J. Smith, Becker, treasurer; Barger, secretary; Russell, secretary; Trimble, vice-president and treasurer; Sorensen, vice-president; Elias, Thomsen, president; Sidles, president.
The group makes an attempt to attend at least a few of the out-of-town games. Last fall they followed the football team to a victory over Omaha Central and this spring journeyed to Falls City. The Falls City event was the district basketball tournament in which Lincoln high suffered defeat to Nor th east.
The organization often prepares skits for the pep assemblies. The precision-like work they do in these assemb lies and in supporting all Lincoln high sporting events illustrates the efficiency of their organization.
Appearing in everything from perspiration soaked football uniforms to Hawaiian hula-hula skirts, the Peppers inspired the teams and provided a few laughs for the audience. Much excellent comment is received from out state schools on the smart appearance and remarkable cheering ability shown by the Peppers at all games.
Pepsodent smiles flash on the faces of these Falls City bound Peppers: Devoe, · Fulton, Pecha, Thomsen, Russell, Barger, Sidles, Reinhard, Kimball, Jewett and Sorensen.
THOSE WHO CARRY 1; HE B.it\LL
Any boy who wins an L in any sport at Lincoln high is eligible to join the L club. The club is an honorary group sponsored by the coaches of the school.
The motto of the club is "The L club stands for scholarship, championship and citizenship."
The L's are given in the award assemblies, which usually present some speaker noted in athletics. Among the speakers the past year have been Hollis Lepley, university swimming coach, and Harry Good, Cornhusker basketball mentor.
The coveted Harry Sidney Dobbins medal is given to the most outstanding boy in athletics and scholarship during his high school career The 1947 winner was 6 ' 7" Bob Pierce, who received all-tourney honors two years and all-state honors
one year in basketball. In track "Shorty" smashed the football throw record in the Missouri Valley meet and threw the discus consistently during the track season. Bob proved a valuable end to the football team as his height enabled him to snatch the high passes.
The first Dobbins award was given in 1913 in memory of Harry Sidney Dobbins by his parents , Mr. and Mrs. Harry T Dobbins , The money had been earned by young Dobbins during school vacations. They suggested that it be given to "some pupil in the Lincoln high school who excels in some branch of work or play there."
Since that time 39 young men have received the award, among them Lincoln high's present football and track coach, Bill Pfeiff.
All aboard for the Falls City district tournament.
Good music is as plentiful as the musicians in Orpheons, and the club has a very large membership. The group was originally organized for the appreciation of classical music, but the members play other types of music equally well.
Admi~ion to the organization is by try-out. The try-outs consist of a classical or semi-classical
selection and are judged by the sponsors Hugh Rangeler and Mrs. Roberta Johnson, and the Lincoln high music teachers.
The club prepares and presents its own programs under the direction of the vice-president who is also program chairman. The entertainment is so arranged that the members rotate, each taking his turn as soloist.
Ea.ch spring the club members bring their talents before the school in an assembly. The assembly always shows a variety of talent in a number of fields.

AND DRAMA ·THE EYE
CLEF
Clef club celebrated its second rebirthday this year under the· excellent auspices of Miss Dorthea Gore and Bernard Nevin, and the musical sophomores who compose its membership gave it many happy returns in dues and increased talent.
While the Clefs busily appreciate music, everyone else appreciates the meetings they put on: two instrumentalists ( Bach to boogie, of course) and two vocalists ( Carmichael to Carmen) each time, so that everyone gets in his two cents worth during the year. And next year the Orpheons get all this talent!
MIMES
Lucky, lucky sophomores are the only people eligible to join Mimes, the club which studies and practices the fundamentals of dramatic entertainment. Not that it is all work and no play, as those who attended their Christmas party with its hilarious interpretation of a country school program can testify.
Throughout the year their ingenuity comes to the fore in the programs they write and produce, from radio scripts a la Mr. Anthony and choral renditions of Casey at the Bat to the most melodramatic of pantomime. Mimes' sponsors, Miss Irene Martin and Miss Mary Rumbolz, have every reason to be proud.

SOME PUT INTO WORDS WHAT
The outcoming Scribe is the big thing in WRITERS CLUB this year. The sixty-five page booklet will be the first published since 1943. It is a publication containing original writing of any type by the students. In the absence of an English 13 class this semester, the magazine is staffed and will be published entirely by the club. All work is being done after school. Despite a late start, excellent results are expected , and it is hoped that the club will make the Scribe an annual project.
While the Scribe is being put out, the regular work of the club goes on. The members vote on the try-outs of would-be authors and increase their own talent and knowledge through literature quizzes and lectures by such fascinating people as ghost writers and librarians.
Their recreational needs were satisfied by the club picnic on May 7, when the members and their guests assembled at Pioneer Park. The faculty members responsible for all this activity are Mrs. Bernice Tebbetts and Mrs. Mary Brand.
The Scribe board, Janie::e Weil, Betty Hall , Bruce Emmons, Sarah Fulton, Jack Lange and Anne Barger, make plans for the 1948 Scribe.

OTHERS PUT IN TO ACTIO N
The high point of the season for members of the Mummers is their annual play, presented in the fall of each year. The students do as much of the work as is possible in this and all undertakings of the club. Mrs. Lou Mclean, the director, and Miss Mildred Waide and Mrs. Irm a Coombs , the sponsors , are always ready to assist the members with their problems.
George Randol, a member of the original cast of G r een Pastures, is scheduled to speak to the club this spring. His wide experience in dramatics will be of great value.
The stage in 326 is being rejuvenated as one of the projects of this year 's organization. Curtains have been cleaned and dyed a royal purple and props are being lined up. For some meetings the students put on one-act plays, among which have been A Day With Uncle Fr ed by P. G. Wodehouse , and The Night Before Chri stm as.
Ardath Wilcox and Thomas Graham show the club how a shoe salesman helps a lady with big feet.

A PLAY IS MOR E THAN JUST ACTORS
Among the cogs in the wheels of making a play go are the usherettes, doormen and make-up committee.
The usherettes, under the direction of Miss Emma Snyder and Miss Carrie Roberts, guide people to their seats and hand out the programs.
Taking the tickets and standing at the doors to direct the audience to their correct seats is the job of the doormen sponsored by 0. H. Hedrick.
Working behind the scenes the make-up committee under Mrs. Lou McLean transforms students into everyone from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde and from grandpa to baby. They spend hours learning the technique.
The property and costume committees are also important parts of any school production in that they add realism to the plays.
Other unsung heroes are the student directors 1 who sit behind stage, prompting the actors and giving example, if need be.
The doormen: first row, Mclaird , McDov;ell , Kendle, Fields, Jennings; second row , Sapp , Touzalin, Kalal, Doole, Cast; th ir d row, Row, Lange, Hale , Bade, Whiteman , help people at school performar.ces.
Make-up artists Bettie Davis, Ardath Wilco x , Elinor Worden, Sue Kimball, Anne Barge r and Janet Yos put the finishing touche ~ on John Hall for the opera.
LAVISH COSTUMES IN "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE"
Some of the girls in the senior play: Eastman, Brewster, Sorensen, Kimball, Sidner, Sidles, Herminghaus, Hendee, and Barger, show off their, costumes.
Discreetly turning her head is Mary Sidner, Mrs. Bennett, when Bob Lundberg, Mr. Collins, decides to prove to Shirley Sidles, Elizabeth, the violence of his affections.
Sally Herminghaus, Lady de Bourgh, explains to Tom Rische, Mr. Dar.;:y, how impossible his marriage would be.
Splendid comedy was presented to Lincoln high play enthusiasts in Pride and Prejudice October 17 and 18, 194 7 under the direction of Mrs. Lou McLean.
Picture a family of five lovely daughters, a mother whose primary concern is to become a mother-in-law to five handsome, rich young men and the stage is set. The play begins.
Rich and handsome Mr. Bingley moves into the neighborhood. Because of, or despite, Mrs. Bennet's interference he falls in love with Jane , the loveliest, and eldest daughter. Next to succumb, unwillingly, to the situation is his friend, the aristocratic Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet being the object of his adoration. Lydia Bennet elopes with a disreputable character and all Mr. Darcy's efforts are required to rectify this situation.
True love, true to form, doesn't run smoothly but the many obstacles are successfully and humorously overcome.
All one big happy family are Mary Sidner, Mrs. Bennett; Jim Tomasek, Mr. Bin gley; Anne Barger, Jane; Shirley Sidles, Elizabeth; Tom Rische, Mr. Darcy; Chesmond Bade, Mr. Bennett
Enjoying a game of cards are Rosanne Hedke, Sue Lamb; Jo Ann Finney, Midge Saunders; and Marilyn McDonald, Connie Bickwell.
Gene Brennan, Bill Jones and Sondra Lotman, Lucky Parker , look over the script in play rehearsals.
SKY ROAD
For setting and atmosphere, Sky Road was superior. Fast action and " on the edge of your seat" suspense gave the aviation theme rich and appropriate support in the Mummers play, given on November 21 and 22, 1947.
Stewardess Lucky Parker returns to TransAmerican Airlines with a pilots license. Despite her inexperience she offers to take the Pittsburgh flight.
Bill Jones, whose past is a complete mystery, walks in and offers to take the flight in her place. He gets the assignment.
While he is gone, Ann Rogers, a stewardess, is unjustly fired and attempts suicide. Lucky is about to leave in quest of the specialist needed to save Ann's life when Bill returns and goes instead.
Fog forces him to use untried instrument flying. On the perilous return flight it seems a certainty that he will crash. Constant radio contact is maintained and Lucky admits her love vi:i the air waves. When Bill lands safely with the specialist, he receives the much coveted Coast Clipper assignment as a wedding gift.

FAMILY FUN
The hundred tryouts for the junior play, Th e Great American Family, provided an accurate forecast of its successful performance. Everyone laughed at and loved the Seymour family for one very enjoyable evening, May 21.
Greg Seymour settles in Ourville with his wife Sylvie, seeking an idea for a novel, but for twelve years does just enough writing to pay for five visits from the stork. At one time he almost takes a steady job, but Sylvie keeps him at the typewriter till a publisher shows up.
The publisher, Tully Fry, offers to buy the longawaited novel, but it turns out to be a flop and Greg is once more seeking permanent employment. But of course all ends happily when Tully finds Greg ' s stories about his hilarious family and wants to buy a book of them.

The thirty-fifth Dragoon Guards come to see their sweethearts of the previous year and find them listening to Bunthorne read poetry. They plead with the ladies but are scorned and so leave in disgust.
Bunthorne renounces his position and proclaims his love for Patience. When Patience will not have him he offers himself to be raffled to the maidens.

Extra! Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Lincoln high school presents annual variety show April 15, 16 and 17. With the first down beat of the boys glee club, the Joy Night Journal opened its presentation of the schools top entertainment.
From high class hill billy harmony to the ever favored song styling and soft shoe routines of Elbert Starks, an assorted medley of entertainment was presented. Funny paper characters came to life in the form of the faculty. Favorite Victor Herbert strains were the object of the girls octets beautiful blending, while a tap line interpreted the minstrel days of the old south.
Popping in and out were big time gangster s, followed of course, by energetic detectives and press reporters, alias members of the home room representatives.

ANYTHING BOYS
Figure-trimmmg and fun are the aims of those energetic Misses seen almost every day this year practicing up on their favorite indoor or outdoor sport. The range of choice in these after-school activities includes tennis, archery , swimming speedball, basketball, softball and tap-dancing. To help the gym teachers and get some on-the-job training at the same time, senior girls from the University of Nebraska who are majoring in phys. ed. act as umpires and directors. Tennis and archery classes, held both in spring and fall , include demonstrations on the handling of the equipment, and plenty of practice, rounded out by tournaments at which the budding Alice Marbles and Robin Hoods win their laurels.

GIRLS CA
For the poor folk shivering through football games, the G. A. A., under the supervision of Miss Lillian Story and Miss Helen Jo Miller , sells the essentials of a balanced diet, but for a price. Its stock-in-trade consists of candy, apples, peanuts and popcorn, all appreciated as much by the purchasers as by the club, which reaps the profits.
Bowling is strictly speaking an extra-extra-curricular sport since Lincoln high has no bowling alley and the oval is not exactly a green most of the year. Nevertheless the school sponsors tournaments in spring and fall for which the pupils turn out in increasing numbers and with increasing skills.
The instructor of the tap-dancing class ev idently believes in preaching what she practices, for she herself is a pupil. The students work diligently two nights a week all fall and at the

Short of fox hunting , all the branches of horseback riding are offered ( and much in demand) during spring and fall. Though its devotees ne,?d little encouragement, contests in English and western style riding are held so they can show t?eir speed, form and skill.
Neither pull nor box tops are needed to get into G. A. A. Any girl who is interested in developing or discovering a special athletic talent is welcome. Nor is skill the only quality developed, for all the activities stress leadership and sportsmanship in the belief that citizenship and fun are not incompatible.
