The Tree of Life is an ancient symbol which originated I in the Mid-East and gradually spread to every culture. It I represents the endless cycle of life by the tree's dormancy
in winter and its renewal in the spring. It is often symbolized as a stairway to heaven because of the fact that I
it grows in earth, air and sky.
Life is all around us, but too often we are so busy that we don't take the time to notice. Life is always changing · and always exciting. We hear its echo in the laughter of our friends; we feel it at a football game . when a vital play clinches the victory.
We too often take for granted the gift of life. We live for the moment, with little regard for the future; we somehow forget that we are alive and have something to contribute. And as we grow older, we sometimes regret the time that we've lost, wishing that we would have enjoyed it more.
Our school is alive, too. It has seen thousands of young people come and go; it has both taken and given life to each, and incorporated that life into a vitality of its own. Each experience at Lincoln High School has served to make the school and the individual stronger.
PERSONNEL
"You
will find, as you look back upon your Ii that the moments that stand out are the moments when you have don for others."
REWARD
Sensitive to the world around them, teachers project much of themselves into their work.
Alive to new impressions, they develop a unique way of expanding their ideas into workable classroom material. Expert planning, an essential part in the development of a course of study 1 requires hours of preparation: A single theory must be researched and prepared in such a way that it becomes an intellectual challenge to receptive students.
Individual reactions to those events which make up our world today, help the instructors to mold the basic concept of education into a curriculum that becomes an interesting, up-to-date experience in living.
Administration
The varied activities involved in running a high school require the services of many individuals, but four important individuals have the responsibility of seeing that the school functions effectively as a unit.
When people of diverse backgrounds work and study together, it is essential that they experience some type of unifying source. They must be able to work and feel as one. The person who ties everything together, is Mr. William Bogar, principal. Mr. Bogar spends much of his time working on improving educational opportunities for the good of all students involved.
The vice-principal, Mr. William Pfeiff, is in charge of the internal administration of the building. He is responsible for hearing and following through on matters relating to student behavior. He also _ takes care of many other problems that surface, need to be heard and discussed, and solutions found. Mr. Pfeiff "Another Lincoln High job well done."
Mr. William B. Bogar: principal
Mr. Harry Kuklin: assistant principal for instruction
Being informed of registrations, class schedules, awards and scholarships is very important to the student of Lincoln High. He needs to be informed of the educational opportunities available to him. The administration of these tasks are the responsibility of Mr. Donald Dean, assistant principal for student services, and his staff.
"If I would satisfy teachers my job would be successful." This comment by Mr. Harry Kuklin, assistant principal for instruction, is an indication of what some of his work involves. Mr. Kuklin often works with teachers on instructional improvements so that the students may obtain the best possible education at Lincoln High. Mr. Kuklin and his staff are also responsible for the ordering of equipment, supplies, and other teaching aids.

Fine Arts
To develop a love of music and skill in listening and performing is the goal of the Lincoln High Music Department. The student is exposed to a variety of forms of music and is given many opportunities to present his talent before an audience through Lincoln High's many musical groups.
One of the purposes of Art Education is to lead the student into the discovery of his self-identity through the visual arts. In order to do this, the student is instructed in various art concepts, materials, and technical skills Creative expression is encouraged, as well as open -mindedness and receptiveness.

Science
It is the aim of the Science Department to provide the student with subject matter necessary and beneficial to him, in a way that will stimulate interest and enthusiasm for that material. Subjects for study are often · presented in the form of a problem. This provides the student with the challenging opportunity of pursuing possible answers to the problem through the use of laboratory experiments and research.
Students, both male and female, are given the opportunity to study various occupations in the three-year course, Health Related Occupations. The first year is spent in the study of sanitation, anatomy, and home nursing. Durin g the second year, students are involved in additional study plus trips to various medical and training institutions. The student may receive credit for working in a health related field while still in school.

English
The objectives of the Lincoln High School English Department are centered on the needs of the individual student in regard to his understanding and appreciation of literature, and his self-expression through writing and speaking the English language.
Greater emphasis is being placed on reading improvement and on recognizing that student with particular reading disabilities. Classes are offered to help the individual student improve his reading skills.
Expansion of the English elective program is also being plann~d. The idea behind this is to allow the student greater opportunity to explore literary subjects of interest to him.

Foreign Language
All f(?reign language study is begun by practke in listening and speaking. Dialogues composed of practical vocabulary, commonly used expressions, and basic grammar forms are memorized and applied to the student's everyday life Emphasis on speaking and understanding the spoken word is stressed throughout the course of study.
The language laboratory is used throughout the school year. Tape recordings by native speakers assist the student at each learning level to develop the necessary lingual skills.
A study of the culture and civilizations of the people of the language being studied is also ixorporated into the course
The basic grammar needed to intelligently handle the language is covered in three years. The student may go into a fourth year, which includes a broad grammar review and stresses worthy literary materials. Emphasis is placed on rapid and intensive reading with translation kept at a
minimum.

Counseling
The counselor strives to gain an understanding of a student's problems, his goals, and the possibility of his reaching those goals. This personal knowledge of the student enables the counselor to assist him with college planning and job offerings. Working together, counselor and student plan a schedule that will provide opportunities for the student to explore personal interests and at the same time develop a sound educational background.
College entrance requirements, scholarships, loans, and job training are subjects on which the student must be kept informed. Because of this responsibility, the counselor must himself be prepared on these subjects so that he will be able to recognize those that are relevant to each individual student.

Social Studies
Seekin~ to provide courses that will stimulate student interest, the Lincoln High School Social Studies Department in recent years has developed numerous short courses. Their popularity has led to the development of even more.
One of the first, and still offered, is a study of Black History which tries to increase understanding between cultures. The current nostalgia trend is reflected in short courses based on events o'f the Twenties and Thirties.
Other courses include such diversified titles as Environmental Education; Sports, Games and Recreation; and The Role of Women in the United States.
The large enrollment in Psychology seems to be an indication of the interest of the student with the meaning and development of personality. The student at Lincoln High today is concerned with his inward self as well as his relationship to others
To provide the student with the best possible I earning environment, several methods of instruction are offered: the traditional classroom set-up, used in American and World History, and team teaching. Team teaching is advantageous in that it provides for more personal research, better preparation for college-level instruction, increased use of audio-visuals, and greater classroom flexibility.

The development of accuracy and self-discipline is stressed, as these are essential qualities of business personnel.
The Distributive Education Program is a study of problems in retailing, wholesaling, and service occupations. It is designed for the study of material involved in marketing, merchandising, and management.

Mathematics
Mathematics can be thought of as a language essential to everyone. It prepares the future consumer, scientist, technician, businessman, and homemaker for a life time of economic and scientific decisions.
In the study of mathematics, emphasis is placed on the knowledge of basic concepts and principles, as well as the logical structure of math. The student must know how to perform computations with understanding, accuracy, and efficiency.
Computers have become a very important factor in the society using math as their language. A teletype connected with the IBM 370 computer at the State Capitol Building enables students to participate in courses involving computer programming and Fortran.

Developmental Learning
The Developmental Learning Program is planned for the student who has special educational and emotional needs. A staff of counselors, who work with the student during his years at Lincoln High, gets to know each student personally. The counselor assists each individual in planning a class schedule that will give him an opportunity to grow and develop.
Courses cover all facets of student life and are related to everyday surroundings. Subject material is correlated so that the student will receive a well-rounded education.
The c "unselor's goal is to help each student become a responsible citizen, emotionally and occupationally secure, and self-supporting.
Mrs. Ruby Grell and Miss Judy Montey
Mrs. Harriet Cross: department head
Home Economics
All aspects of home and family living from barbecuing to landscaping are brought out _ in the Home Economics Department.
Development of skills used in everyday living, such as sewing and cooking, is not the only concern of this department. The intercommunication in human relationships is explored in classes dealing with family living. There are also courses in decorating and designing one's own home furnishings. All of these emphasize the development of skills and values which will be of use to the student, both male and female, in the future.

•DRIVER EDUCATION CIR ; , STUDENT DRIVER
Special emphasis is p'laced on the re~ponsibility of safe driving in the Drivers Education program. The student is instructed in traffic rules and regulations, automobile operation and maintenance, and driver courtesy. The study of physical and psychological factors and perception techniques are also part of the curriculum. The student is given the opportunity to put what he has learned into practice through the use of driving simulators and actually "hitting the road."
New this year was a Drivers Education program developed in cooperation with the Developmental Learning Program This curriculum includes learning situations which challenge intellectual growth and ability. This program will provide the D LP student with the opportunity to become aware of various occupations in the field of transportation

Industrial Education
Because too many students leave school unqualified for a job or unprepared for higher education, Lincoln High School offers a variety of subjects related to Industrial Education. Here the student has the opportunity to participate in anything from auto mechanics to graphic arts, from drafting to silkscreen printing, and from electronics to woodwork.
Emphasis is placed on the preparation of the student for his chosen area of work and on the importance and value of his developing an occupational skill. The college-bound student may also benefit from this specialized training. The aim of the course is to provide the means for each student to acquire a saleable skill.

Physical Education
Gone is the hour of push-ups, sit-ups, and running laps. This former concept of physical education has broadened considerably in the last few years. Today, courses set up on the quarter system provide many opportunities for the student to participate in sports that he enjoys and to explore activities in which he might like to become involved outside the classroom. Each student has been able to benefit from this enlarged program.
Today's trend in PE is toward individual sports such as tennis, bowling, archery, and body conditioning. These can be carried over into a student's post high school life.
Classes are held on an informal basis; many are becoming coed. This relaxed atmosphere provides a more enjoyable learning experience for all students.

Life is filled with laughter, disappointment, frustration, and hope. As seniors, we will always have memories of classes, the fun times in school, the way everyone laughed and joked around, friends that were made, and relationships that developed.
There are moments in life for small times and moments for great times We now face a great realization of responsibility. Success depends on us, as individuals.
Our lives have just begun. We can reach our goals by accepting responsibility and facing our futures with confidence. If we can each accomplish this, our lives will be worthwhile.

The underclassm an years bring change in life-a new sense of self-reliance along with greater responsibilities to others which must be assumed.
The underclas~man has climbed high, but there are ever broader horizons to be discovered and explored.
Great opportunities lie ahead, new challenges confront him, but he has learned that overcoming challenges is one of the real joys of life.
Uncertainties and doubts arise, but by the end of the school year he is a pro, ready for the coming year. He has found that only by meeting responsibilities-by adversity and trial-can one grow stronger. He has risen to a new plateau, and in the process, he has learned that growing is essential to a meaningful life.

Miscellanea
Being alive is being active. It is not being content sitting in the background and fading into the scenery; it i~ being a part of what's happening. It is people who , aren't satisfied being idle, who follow their interests, and work together seeking out new frontiers to conquer. They are adventurers: they are involved.
Involvement is usually a worthwhile experience. It takes hard work, but they are willing to put forth the effort, and in doing so, they reap the rewards or suffer the occasional disappointments. Things may not always turn out the way they want, but that's I ife.
Out-of-town council members describe the State Student Council Convention as "a job well done. "

Mun1mers Play
The Crucible, a production of Lincoln High School Mummers, portrays a period of suspicion and alarm aroused by the belief in witchcraft. The play, a creation of Arthur Miller, was staged with Mr. Robert Fey directing, assisted by Jolinda Bergman.
Fear is aroused early in the drama as Reverend Parris discovers some girls dancing in the forest, after which one (Betty, his daughter) is bedridden, ill of unnatural causes. Rumors spread through the town and Reverend Hale, known for curing those with ailing souls, is summoned
The situation mushrooms and many women are taken to trial, charged, and hanged. Husbands of those accused try futilely to prove the innocence of their wives, a cause which sometimes results in their own indictment, as in the case of John Proctor.
John Proctor meets privately with Abigail in a near -by woods to discuss tomorrow's trial of his wife.

South Pacific
TV\O islands somewhere in the Pacific were the setting for this year's musical when Lincoln High presented Rogers and Hammerstein's South Pacific. The production involved the combined efforts of Joseph Skutchan, music director, Mr. Robert Fey, dramatic coach, and the participation of over one hundred students.
The story centers around two love affairs: one between Ensign l'Jellie Forbush (Kim Mutchie) and a rich French planter, Emile de Beque (Greg Sprague); the other, between a handsome young marine, Lt. Joe Cable (Pat Keelan) and a beautiful young Tonkinese girl, Liat (Laura Lehman).
The mood is highlighted with short comical situations that involve Bloody Mary ( Karen Esquivel), a crafty Tonkinese woman who causes an economic revolution on the island by taking the natives from their work on the plantations to produce souvenirs such as grass skirts for her to sell to the G.l.'s. Luther Billis (Jon Roth) is another who livens things up with his accident prone skills.
A young marine, Lt. Joe Cable, flies to the island in hopes of setting up a surveillance station, which would provide a protective watch for the island against Japanese fleets with Emile, who knows the area. Emile, because of his love for Nellie, refuses to assist Lt. Cable. He changes his mind, however, when Nellie learns of his past experience with a polynesian wife, who has since
died, and his two children. She, confused and upset, diverts her attention from him to organizlng the Thanksgiving Day Fol I ies.
Billis takes advantage of Lt. Cable's arrival to the island by using him to get to Bali Hai, an enticing island located near-by, and occupied by beautiful young native women. Aiding Billis in his persuasion of the reluctant Lt. Cable is Bloody Mary who wants to match him up with her daughter, Liat, who resides in a small hut on the island. Upon arrival at Bali Hai, Bloody Mary introduces him to Liat, vvith whom he immediately falls in love. Bill is and Lt. Cable- both leave the island with plans of returning.
Anxious to see Liat wed, Bloody Mary corners Lt. Cable into marrying her daughter. Not fully realizing why, he refuses, causing her to angrily retort that now Liat will marry a wealthy French planter, who Liat despised because of his drinking habits. Joe's disappointment is matched only by Emile's. The two then meet and decide to go on the dangerous mission.
Emile and Lt. Cable successfully broadcast for several days until the surveillance station is spotted and Joe is fatally wounded bringing the mission to an end and causing them to flee. It is at this time that Nellie discovers Emile's disappearance and realizes that her only wish is to have him safely return. She watches Emile's children and is doing so when he comes back and the four are reunited.

Band
One of the most accomplished groups at Lincoln High School is the Band. Before school opens, its members start putting things together. Hours of practice are spent not only learning school songs to play during sports activities but also preparing marching formations to perform during half-time shows at football games.
The Band also plays concerts at junior high schools, Vespers, and presents a double assembly for the school. For the seventh time, the LHS Band has taken first place in the All-City Band Contest, receiving the trophy for the fourth consecutive year
The members of the Band are selected by tryouts. Mr.

Orchestra
Tryouts determine a person's selection as a member of the Orchestra, a 39-piece instrumental group directed by Mr. Orville Voss.
Concerts at junior high schools and the annual All-City Orchestra Festival are among the activities in which its members participate. Selections are also made from this group to make up the pit orchestra for the Musical.
Extra activities offered to these mus1c1ans include the Lincoln Public School Auditions (an optional contest to grade the individual's talent), and the State Music Clinic, attended by those who qualify through tryouts. This year, six LHS students were involved in the Clinic~

Meeting deadlines, scheduling photos, planning layouts, and writing copy blocks are among a few of the worries that rush through the heads of the nine editors who are responsible for the production of the yearbook.
Throughout the year, these individuals devote many hours of time and much energy towards the accomplishment of their separate sections in the completion of the book. Working sometimes leisurely, sometimes frantically, page by page the yearbook takes form and eventually becomes the finished result of their labors.

Sandy and Larry ponder over a lay-out problem.
Mardi Owens, Carol Petersen, Pat Worster, Sandy Dauphin and Kim Graham.
From the early hours of summer mornings to the dusk of spring evenings, young athletes have been living definitions of "dedication" and "expectation."
The dict ion~ry interprets dedication as ''a setting aside of something for a special purpose." This definition is true of Lincoln Hit1h's young men and women as they have -set aside their own time to prepare themselves physically and mentally to represent their school as best they can.
The dictionary defines "expectation 11 as "anticipation of benefits to come or a prospect of 1 the future." ~ertainly LHS athletes can claim this right of hopeful prophecy through long hours of hard work and self-sacrificing devotion.

"Hustle, desire, and an attitude to improve as the season progressed" best described the 1973 Varsity Football Team, according to head mentor Jerry Ball. The desire and attitude to improve was evident even before the actual season started as several of the team members sacrificed their hair. The close-cut look not only served for unity in the squad but also reduced the number of head concussions considerably.
Led by a rugged defensive unit, the Links' Varsity posted a 3-5-1 record. The defense was able to hold the opponents to an average of 176 total yards per game while the offensive unit churned out an average of 191 yards per game.
Coach Ball cited the Northeast game as the highlight of the season. The offense, accused of being sluggish in previous games, proved they could move the ball and did so throughout the game, despite a scoring drought. The game, ·although ending in a scoreless tie, was a moral victory for the squad. The team went on to disprove any doubts in their ability the following week by defeating Southeast in a tough intra-city battle that ended up 5-0.
Mark Grell led the team in total offense with 462 yards, followed by Greg Sprague (432), and Mike Washington (316). The de-fense, heralded as one of the best in the city, was led by Jim Marker (100 total tackles), Washington (73), and Denny Meyer (66).
Po~t-season honors earned by the squad were plentiful. Mike Washington was named to both The Lincoln Journal-Star all-state and all-city teams while junior tackle Roger Foster joined him on the all-city first string. The honorable mention list contained Greg Sprague, Mark Grell, Jim Marker, Mark Frey, Lloyd Dennis and Marc Colley. KFOR Sportscaster's Awards went to Washington, Marker, and Grell. Washington was named "Star of the Week" by The Lincoln Journal-Star while James Brown was nominated for the honor for his performance in Lincoln High's win over Papillion, 30-20.
Ten returning lettermen, all varsity starters, should be the major strength in next year's campaign.

Dedication Pays Off For Reserve Squad
Completing a tough eight-game schedule with a 3-5 record, Lincoln High ' s Reserve Football Squad "deserves the respect of all connected with our football program," according to reserve coach Bill Story.
Handicapped through most of the season by injuries and other adverse conditions, the junior gridders were dedicated to fundamentals and the elimination of mistakes. This dedication paid off as the reserve squad scored 101 total points against out-of-town opponents while it held the same schools to just 44 total points.
Coach Story heralded John Beaver, Ralph Kuwamoto, Allen Massa, Bryan Spa l e and Kent Wurster as standouts, both offensively and defensively.
Wurster contributed eight touchdowns to lead offensive scoring while Kuwamoto was the leading rusher. Massa led defensive efforts with 62 total tackles, followed by Spale (58), and Beaver (45). LHS '12 28_ 0 8 22 7 13 39
Despite finishing third in city competition, Lincoln High's rookies ended the season with the best record since 1957. The 3-3 record was indicative of tough city competition as their only losses came from cross-town rivals Northeast, East, and Pi us X. The sophomore gridders defeated Papil l ion , 6-0, the Seward reserves , 13-6, and downed Southeast's yearlings, 18-0, to lay claim to third place in the city.
Coach Joe Folsom cited many outstanding gridders on this year's team, among them: offensive linemen : Charles Metzgar, Jeff Abbott, and Dan Vontz; offensive backs: Greg Horacek an d Mi k e Smith; defens i ve linemen : Metzgar , Bi l l Lor rai ne, and Randy Haller; defen sive bac k s: J im Sh eets and Dave Abele
Ho ra c ek , Sm it h, an d Bru ce L o ng , sophomore quarterback, accoun~ed for 664 total yards with Long averaging 11 yards per pass completion.
Haller spear- headed the defensive unit with 80 total tack l es, lead i ng Lorraine (68), Sheets {67), Abele and Metzgar ( 64 each).
Harriers Tie For City Runner-Up Spot
Labeled as a team lacking in depth and experience, the Lincoln High Cross Country team finished with a tie for second place in the city and a perfect dual meet season.
Led by senior lettermen Dan Oberheu and John Stafford, the harriers battled back from a dismal eleventh place in the Fremont Invitational to place third in the eleven-team Millard Invitational the following week. "Scotter's Trotters" then went on to down Ralston, Papillion, and York in dual meets and highlighted their season by finishing in a tie for second place with Northeast in the Lincoln Public Schools meet.
Along with Oberheu and Stafford, senior Dave Kitchens and juniors Bob Geisler and Tom Roth added balance to a team that missed a State Meet berth by just a few points. Seniors Jerry Carlson and Dan Lorraine rounded out the varsity team.
Qualifying for the State Meet individually, Oberheu and Stafford placed 8th and 25th, respectively. Oberheu's performance was lauded as
"one of the best from any LHS athlete in a State Meet," according to head coach Harold Scott. Both runners gathered post-season laurels by placing on The Lincoln Journal-Star All-city Cross Country Team.

Gymnasts Capture 2nd In Districts, 5th In State
Led by senior co-captains Tim O'Toole and John Pace, the 1973 Varsity Gymnastics Team recorded a successful 5-1 dual season and a -fifth place in the State Meet.
Jim Hoyt, second-year head coach, credited the gymnasts with the "best depth of any team in the state." Coach Hoyt's claim was evident in the Trans-Nebraska meet where the Link's pommel-horse squad captured 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th places, outscored only by Jim Grant of Southeast. The Links had a total of 118.69 points, enough to earn a third-place berth.
Spotlighted as the season's high point, the State Meet showed the Links' capabilities as several of Coach Hoyt's charges placed in the top ten in their
respective events. Especially pleasing were the performances of underclassmen Bob Rothwell and Rick Traudt, who placed third in the trampoline and pommel horse, respectively.
Team members chosen for The Lincoln Journal-Star All-City Gymnastics Team were Bob Rothwell, Tim O'Toole, Rick Traudt, and George Wassung. Completing this year's list of laurel winners was senior Tim O'Toole, who was presented with Lincoln High's Outstanding Gymnast Award.
For the second consecutive year, Coach Ray Fallstead's reserve squad finished its season undefeated. He credits the team members with good "individual desire to work."

Super Sophs Lead LHS To Winning Season
Led by a sophomore quartet unequalled in the state, the 1973 Varsity Tennis Team compiled an 8-2 dual meet record and tied for first-place honors in the Lincoln Public Schools Meet with Southeast.
The netters, composed of sophomores Garrett Anderson, Max Brandt r Larry Rugg, and Eric Shanks and senior returning lettermen Kevin Grosse and Mark Meyer, had a little trouble finding a coach after '71-'72 coach Charles Friesen stepped down. Sig Garnett, a tennis standout at the University of Nebraska, was hired for the coaching job but had to give it up due to Big Eight eligibility requirements. Leroy Colson, Links tennis coach from 1955 to 1970, resumed the position for the 1973 season.
The season started on a prophetic note as the young Links downed Northeast, 9-0. The netters went on to defeat five straight opponents before cross-town rival Southeast put the damper on their
hopes, 4-1. Southeast, the eventual state runnerup, was the only team to defeat Lincoln High in a dual meet The Knights did it twice, the second score was also 4- ·1.
Southeast contihued it's domination as the Knights took first-place honors in Trans with Lincoln High following close behind in second. The Links finally caught up with Southeast in the Lincoln Public Schools Meet, as the two teams tied for first place. A tie for fourth place in the State Meet completed the best season in many years for Lincoln High.
The State Tennis Championshipr which has eluded Lincoln High hands since 1958, is one of the goals of next year's 'team, which will include four returning lettermen. Larry Rugg, the only Links chosen for The Lincoln Journal-Star All~City Tennis team, is expected to be one of the top contenders for the State Individual Championship.
"The basic fundamentals of tennis all start with the grip."

Eleven-Magic Number For Pool Maids
The Girls Varsity Swimming Team started the 1973 season with high hopes, dependant on eleven returning letterwomen. Eventually those veterans were able to pull out a magic eleventh place in the State Meet, but not without a long, uphill struggle.
Despite the fact of the outcome being less than desirable, the City Relay Meet was the first step in the swimmers trek to success. Of the four Lincoln schools that participated in the meet, Lincoln High finished in a dismal last place.
In the weeks between the first meet and the Lincoln Public Schools Championships, the tankers defeated all out-of-town opponents, with the exception of Omaha Westside, which went on to be the State runner-up team.
The City Championships produced Lincoln High's sole victory over a Lincoln team as the
Links placed third. Lincoln East won the meet, followed by Southeast: Northeast trailed in fourth place.
Led by a quintet of returning letterwomen, the 1973 Girls Varsity Volleyball Team posted an overall seasonal record of 6-8, far ahead of last year's winless season
Varsity Volleyball, in its second year at Lincoln High, was coached by Miss Nadine Sass, a transfer from Everett Junior High. Miss Judy Montey coached the reserve squad.
Team leadership was evident in two early-season matches as Jean Sohl scored seventeen points in a two-game series with Grand Island. Zale Janousek and Judy Johnson were cited by Coach Sass for their fine teamwork against Pius X. The 'Bolts downed Lincoln High 15-0 in the first game of their best-of-three series but the Links, through the efforts of Janousek and Johnson, came back to win the next two, 15-13 and 15-12.

Cagers Compile 5-12 Record
Despite a scrappy defense, the 1973-74 Varsity Basketball Team posted an unimpressive 5-12 record. The defense, heralded by Coach Alden Johnson as "one of the top five or six in the state," gave up an average of only 50 points per game, which is usually good enough to win, according to Coach Johnson. The fact that the Links could produce an average of only 46.9 points per game stymied the defensive effort.
Coach Johnson's crew, anchored by returning lettermen Mick Houlihan, Jerry Kletchka, and Scott Sughroue got off to a good start as it downed Hastings, 63-43. Senior guard Mike Debus led the Links' scoring with 19 points.
Lincoln High dropped the next three games to Westside, East, and Northeast but got back on the winning track by defeating cross-town rival Southeast, 53-40. Houlihan and Sughroue led the scoring with 14 and 10 points, respectively.
In the closing weeks of the season, ·the Links managed only three other victories: Ralston, North Platte, and Papillion. In the North Platte game, guards Houlihan and Bob Metz combined for 32 points, nearly three-fourths of the team's total points. As a whole, the team shot 45 percent, the season's best.

Even Season
Usually, when an average team records an average season, one would think the team would finish in the middle of things. Not so for the 1973- 74 Reserve Basketball Team The dribblers recorded an 8-8 season but finished last place in the city standings, behind Northeast ( 15-1 ), East (13 -3), and Southeast ( 12-4).
Team hustle and unity were cited by Coach Joe Folsom as the team strengths, with the weaknesses being lop-sided individual scoring and rebounding. Ralph Kuwamoto led the scoring with 250 total points, and average of 15.6 points per game. The next highest scorer on the charts was Anthony Edington with 111 total points. Edington and Charles Metzgar led the way in rebounds with 114 and 88 rebounds, respectively.
As far as team statistics went, the Links shot 37 percent on field goals and 57 percent from the charity stripe for the 16-game schedule.

It was a learning season for the 1973-74 Sophomore Basketball Team as all members, players, and coaches, were new to Links' ball. Sophomore coach Tom Mosser started his first year at Lincoln High, taking over the job vacated by Charles Friesen. Assisting Mosser was Bob Nistle, a physical education instructor at Lincoln High.
The team spent most of its season learning fundamentals and styles, familiar to ~the Lincoln High style, in hopes of winning a varsity or reserve spot on next year's team.
Team members who saw action were Jeff Abbott, Max Brandt, Gary Hart, Greg Heckman, Dan Lehman, Steve Mannix, Jeff Rump, Brent Smith, Carl Tesch, Dan Vontz, and Doug Wassung.
Hart and Smith showed particular leadership during the season's final game with Beatrice. At the end of regular playing time, the two teams were tied up bvt through the efforts of Hart and Smith, the Links came out the victors.

Underclassmen Pace Tankers; Take 8th At State
Anchored by a contingent of very promising underclassmen, the 1973-74 Lincoln High School Swim Team recorded another successful season, winding up with an eighth place in the State Meet, held at Lincoln East's pool.
The tankers opened their season with a first place in the LHS Relays, held December 8. In the meet, the Links captured six first places and finished in the runner-up spots in the remaining four events. The relay team of Duane Watermeier, Oa\le McCleery, Tom Houchen, and Tim Mientka set a meet record in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1 :48.0.
Evidence of a talented underclassmen team came later on in the season when the mermen went up against Lineal n Northeast Prior to the meet, one of the Northeast swimmers had managed to break a 13-year old school record in the individual medley so the Rockets vvere confident of a close meet. The final score was 113--58, with the Links coming out on top. In the individual medley, Terry Houchen and Rick Thomassen, both sophomores, placed first and second, respectively.
In the State Meet, the Links ended up with 58 points, enough for eighth place. Dave
McCleery,Kim Pelowski, and Tom Houchen placed third, ninth, and eleventh, respectively, in the 50-yeard free-style. Rick Thomassen placed tvvelfth in the 200-yard individual medley, Pelowski placed fourth in the 100-yard backstroke, and the 400-yard freestyle relay team swam for eighth place.
Junior Dave McCleery places his card at the top of the list, signifying his record-breaking performance.

Grapplers Have Tough-Luck Season
"The shortness of people" and the lack of experience was cited by Coach Mel Simpson as the Links' main problems for the 1973-74 season. These obstacles were further compounded by the number of injuries in the team, but there were some excellent individual efforts.
Leading the team was Bruce Simpson who battled back from an early-season elbow injury to conquer the 138-pound weight division in the District Meet, held at Pershing Auditorium. The Links also recorded a district champion in the 105-pound division as Jerry Petersen decisioned Northeast's Rennie Longoria, the eve~tual state champ at 105 pounds.
In the Trans-Nebraska meet, the wrestlers were able to get three runner-up spots. Petersen in the
105--pound class, Richard Lutz in the 135-pound class, and Jim Marker in the 185-pound class.
Lutz and Simpson were named to The Lincoln Journal-Star All-City Wrestling Team while Petersen was named to the honorable mention list.

Diamondmen
Rely On Youth
Under the first-year guidance of Bill Zuspan , Lincoln High's 1974 Baseball Team had to rely or youth as the diamondmen had only one returnin~ letterman. The reliance was paid back as severa individuals blossomed into key varsity players.
The pitching duties were divided among a tri• of stingers . Brian Pinney, Larry Salinas, and Larr' Weixelman we re the "mound masters." All thre were up from last year's reserve squad.
In the first game of the season, the Lin~ downed Millard, 8-2, with Salinas taking the wi with only six hits. The team went on to defe; Omaha South, last year's state champions, 5-: They beat Northeast 5-2 and lost to Southeast , 7 and 6-1.

Cindermen Have Tough Act To Follow
Labeled as a rebuilding year, the 1974 Track Team has a tough job ahead, trying to improve on last year's state-runnerup finish. The Links lost approximately fifteen lettermen through oraduation, including five state champions.
Senior middle-distance runner Jerry Kletchka headlined a list of eleven returning lettermen that greeted head coach Harold Scott at the opening of the season Joining Kletchka on the list were Jim Marker and Mike Washington, a superior shot-put tandem; Jim Brown and Gary Claypool, sprinters; Jay Ashcraft and Mike Holloway, half-milers; Dan Oberheu and John Stafford, senior distance men; and John Pace and Bruce Simpson, senior pole vaulters.
Coach Scott opened his twenty-first year as head mentor with a convincing win over Pius X and York in the Oval. Despite the fact that the team went without the services of Kletchka and Brown, the cindermen compiled a score of 92 points, compared to York's 55 and Pius' 31.
Outstanding performances in the meet were
turned in by John Beaver (149'2" in the discus), Dan Oberheu (4:36 in the mile), .John Pace 12'6" in the pole vault), and Mike Washington (52'3" in the shot put).
Marvin Mueller, in his first year as sprint coach for the Links, had on hand a corps of promising sprinters and hurdlers. Along with Brown and Claypool, outstanding dashmen are Jeff Abbott, Gary Downs, Fred Duckworth, ~nd Gary Tarrence. Tarrence was the 220-champion in the Pius-York meet with a time of 24.0.
Weight coach Bill Storyrs crew consisted mainly of Beaver, Marker, Washington, Jon Debus, Dave McKinney, and Randy Taft. Beaver, only a sophomore, won the discus in the season's opener. Along with Oberheu and Stafford, 1973 cross country lettermen Jerry Carlson, Bob Geisler, Dave Kitchens, Dan Lorraine, and Tom Roth were the main -stays of the distance division. Junior Rich Geiger and sophomore Bryan Dow Ii ng cracked the upperclassmen hold to take varsity spots, also.

Putters Led By Trio
The 1974 Golf Team had high hopes at the beginning of the season as the group was led by a trio of returning lettermen. One of the returning lettermen, Doug Smith, was one of the top players in the state last year.
Besides Smith, Kerry Severa and Dean Walker made up the list of returning lettermen. Brian Blocher, Steve Christopher and Steve Nixon also gained varsity status.
In the Beatrice Invitational, it was evident that the Links V'.€re a close group. Smith led the way with an 88 for the 18-hole course, followed by Walker (89), Severa (91), and Nixon {99). The team finished i n tenth place 36 strokes behind the winner Columbus.
According to coach Tom McClelland, "with better weather and more time, the team should put together a real good season " McClelland ·will be York bound after the season, headed for football coaching duties at York Senior High

Weight Crew Leads Cinderwomen
Led by a weight crew that boasted the top two discus throwers in the state, Lincoln High's 1974 Girls Track Team showed promise in early season meets.
The coaching staff of Ms. Mary Franssen and Ms. Nadine Sass welcomed fourteen returning varsity tracksters at the beginning of the season. The team also relied on four promising sophomores, Judy Brown, Peggy Nichols, Virginia Paul, and Darci Welchoff . The team displayed depth in a mid-season meet with Fremont, despite losing, 55-51. The Links captured six events, and finished second in four. The cinderwomen swept the discus with Judy Johnson, Pam Koontz, and Paul placing 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Johnson and Koontz ranked first and second in the state charts for the discus.
RIGHT: Judy Johnson shows the style that brought her to the top of the state charts.
Netters Follow Up On '73 Championship
In its second year at Lincoln High as an official sport, the Girls Tennis Team found things a little different from its beginning year , when the Links "netted" a perfect dual meet season and the city championship.
The varsity boasted three returning letterwomen, I Laurie Brandt, Gisele O'Connor, and .Julie Porter. .Junior Annette Wayne and Tracy Gab leman, a 1promising sophomore, completed the varsity 1 roster.
The girls found city compet i tion rougher than last year's but they kept things close. - This showed as Lincoln Northeast bare-ly squeaked by the Links in a mid-season match, 3-2 Gableman was the only singles winner as she downed the Rocket's Sharon Rose, 9-8. The doubles team of Porter and Brandt de featep the Rockets, 8-4, to add to the netters' score.
With only one senior graduating from the varsity and some help from this year's reserve• team, next year's campaign should be a successful one.

lntramurals Improve Physical Fitness
The Lincoln High School Intramural program offers a chance to compete and grow athletically to the student who doesn't have enough time to go out for a regular sport. Off-season athletes may also -use the program to keep in shape.
Basketball, football, and weightlifting are just a few of the sports provided for the after-school athletes. The program is set up to provide competition through equality. The senior and junior teams compete in one league while the sophomores compete in another.
Weightlifting helps juniors Dave McKinney and Scott McMeen prepare for an upcoming athletic season.
