body behind the paper. We are all busy, just as every one of you are, perhaps more so, and furthermore , we are not running the ADv oCATE. The students of the L . H. S. must support this paper o r else it cannot be carried on. It i8 a High School paper, and not a paper published by a few individuals Whel} every individual member of the L. H. S. realizes this , then the Anvo CATE will be a typical High School paper and not until then.
There are numberl ess other small things which any one can do to support this paper , and if tP,e paper shows any merit, the school will receive all the praise.

Th e re is always :t first time Ill any underlaking , wh e n the unskilled takes the helm from the skilled. That this time has arrived may be well proved by these pages. If this paper i s comparable with the issues of the past, it is not the fault of the staff. \V e a1·e unskilled, as yet, in these lite1·ary pursuits, bnt [ IR time goes o n, we will too , grow old in liter a •·y activities, and perhaps , sta l e . But we hop e that the ADvO CATE will nev e r be !"tale; t hat every memb e r of the L H. S., will give it hiR mo s t l oya l s upport.

\Ve had a dr ea m the other night when everything was still; vVe dreamed that every subscribet· Uame right up and ]Jaid his bill.
The ADVO CA TE this yeat· will be carrierl on by strictly business methods. The subscription rate will probably be twenty-five cents a. year, to be paid within 8ixty (60) days from date of subscription, aud if uot paid within that time the paper will be discontinued
Tee Aovo cATE \Yill b e published we e kly as h e retofore and in a similat· manner. We will try to ke e p up the s tandard of the paper thi 8 year as high as it ever was, but we are als o making the subscription mteas Low as possiabl e so that e very student o{ the Lincoln High school may be enabled to take the paper.
Any time any one has any t() offer for t-he improvement of the paper we will be only to glad too rec e ive them. It is to be a high sc hool paper sv l e t every s tudent stanfl and push with might ancl main , @0 that n e ve t· will th e ir be a time wh en o ur shall fail from la c k of support, or its staff can justl y c laim that they are alone in their endeavo1·s t o pnbli. h a high Rchool paper.

THE ADVOOA'I'E
There has been sever·al meetings of the clali!s at which there has been good attendances. The class is a very large one and probably onethird of its members attend the class meetings. If you are not attending the meetings, you shon!J do so if yon are a Freshman.
TI--e chief aim of the organization is t.o increase Lhe amount of literary work and to get the members of Lhe class better acquainted.
Meetings of the Class of 1907 will be held every Friday after the seventh period, from now on. If there is a foot ball game or any other interference it will be announced in chapel or through the columns of the AnvoC ATE.
The otbet· day a Seniot· said , "0b! those I ittle F r esh ies Lake up too m ncb room." Well, that is all 0. K. They are the largest class in the L. H. S., and they need more room than the Seniors.
The Freshman clasA turned out to the foot ball game with W. Des Moines very welL
The Class of 1907 believes in foot ball in the Lincoln High School. It must be kept up, an 1 next year they hope to contribute players for the L H. S. foot ball team.
All Freshmen boys who would like to play on the Freshman foot-ball team will meet in room 2u after the seventh period. next Monday.

Class of '05
The .Tuni orR have commenced school with the determination of making this a banner year in their school life. On t.he whole, the behavior of the Juniors tJllls far haR been above cntwrsm. In the fore part of the year. before we have had time to settle down to business, it iE h:ndly fair to exp ect too much of us. However, on r elrapel behavior has l•een more or less seve rely cr·itisir.erl by !'ome of the mor·e conservative c lement. of tbe faculty. this crit icism coming frorn such a source, uertaiuly is not cntir·ely unwarranted, arul we as must take iL on ourselves as inclivi<luals, to se<' that our c hapel behavior is ahnve rriti<"i m. The Junior 0l:HlR at heart is
a self-respecting elass and our behavior at all times must be commendable at least. We cannot afford to have it otherwise.
The class meetings thus fat· have been a success in every way. They have been oharaeterir.ed by excellent attendanec, and it is noticeable that the class is very orderly anrl attentive when good behavior is in order·.
It is often the rule in class organir.ations that only a part of the members of the class attend the class meeti gs. This is entirely the wrong view to take of the matter. Every Junior should take it as a duty and moral obligation to always be out to the class meetings. If the .Junior class is to be a great if iL is to have good behavior, ii it is to be a living part and an active force in the school. you Juniors, will have to encourage the class by your attendance aud active interest. Therefore, come out and make your own class a force in the school aR as a model of dignified behavior.
The class hop at Walsh Hall was a financial aud social success . Every one present had a jolly good time. The JuniorE will have several social attractions this year and all Juniors should turn out and give the class their loyal support.
Senior Class Notes
The class of 1 !)04 bave held their r·egular meetings on "F rid ays after the 7th in room 20.J.. At the first meeting the election of officers was held with the following results: Herbert Avery, president. Kimmel, vice preaideuL. Myrtle Keegan, Secretary and treasurer. Clifford Bigelow, Sergeant-at-arms . Florence Bain, clasH paper editor. Laura Stombaugh, al"!sistant class paper editor.
Telfer Reynolds, bouncer.
'l'hc attendance at class meetings has been very small and composed mostly of girls on account of so many senior boys practing foot ball. We kr.ow how necessary this practice and are proud of the number of seniors on the team o the rest of the boys should show their appreciation by taking an interest in the clas" I i fe and make the c la8s meetin gs a snccPs><

well as the foot ball team.
Onr next meeting will be held in the auditorium and we urge a large number to be present to fill up a few of the seats at least. A committee has been appointed to arrange a program for that time ami we expect a good elass paper al l loyal seniors turn out and enjoy it.
The seniors have enjoyed one party, a h e p M the Farmers and 'Me r chants Hall 0d 2nd, and if you want another soon yo11 must come to class meeting and let your wishes be known.
Our elass enrollment bas enlarged somewhat since last year. The names of Helen Laws, Silence Stuart, Georgia Campbell and Helen Stoneciphes were proposed and accepted to membership in the ela"" of 1904 at our las 't meeting.
The senim· clas will have charge of chapel some Tuesday or Thursday morning soon, a l special chapel called for tb.1t purpose, and if mem hers of the class are called upon to assist : in the prog• arne, do not refuse.

Birkne r This is the resu l t in figures of the game
Un Uetoher 3rd, Uolumbus high Rohool was Friday with West Des Moines high school. Jefea.ted by a Sl'orc of :n-5. T.inco l n team But figures do not always tell the work was s l ow, aDd a good deal of time was Our boys, l ike the Uni. at Denver, had a wasted wrang l ing nver d i v is ions. Co l umbus streak of bad l uck. They fumbled, at c r itical secured a touchdowu while the Linco l n boys whic h coAt them dear. But th is is were taking a u ap. They fa i led to kick goal. someth i ng that somet i mes happens to the best For Lincoln, Buness made th ree touchdowns, of p layers.
THE ADVOOATE
Individually , our boys were far the superior of the Iowa boys, though they beat us on organized work. Their end runs were 80 well formed that it almost impossible to stop them, yet every one was stopped. Their lin e was weak in places, ou r boys getting through it many times.
Perhaps the most noticabl e features of the game were the gronnd gaining ability of Barwick. the hurdling of Birkn e r, the blocking of plays by Munn, the tackling of Avery and the persiste n ce of Cos n e 1· and Saults in breaking up end run s.
The work of Fields and Meyers was j nst as effective but is not the kind that is easily seen. These are all old men, to whom foot ball has become second natur e and who are able to take advantage of a n opportunity when it co me s. The rest of the team are new men who had a harder battle to fight than the old members.
A good player does a larg e per cent of his playing through and until one has acquned this, it i s vet·y lar ge ly up hill work for them, and whil e most of the brilliant work of Friday's ga•ne clone by old men, we predict that before the season is over, the new men, ButTe s, Ilartl ey, McLaughlin and C t·onin, will make their presenc e felt as well as the others.
The crowd at tbe game was vet·y encouraging, ove r a thousand being in attendance. Every body l':eemed anxions to the game, and anxious to yrll.
This seemed qnite like old times. Tbe girls especially very in th e game, thnR having a big influence upon the playing . Lincoln kicked off to Moines. wh o r eturned it quite a ways before the man downed. crheir bloeking at each kick-ofi' was very well formed.
Durin g the whole of the first half , the ball went up and down the mitlclle of the field, neith e r side 1>ee ming ahle to something."
Barwick made a number of good gains I around the end and through the line. Birkner never failed to gain wh e n given the ball. His line hurdling was one of the featnres of the game. Reve ral times the ball was lost on I a fumbl e, but few times on downs. At the end of the first half our boys bad the
ball down on Des Moines' three ya rd lin e. when time was ca ll ed. S co r e at the end of the first half, 0 to 0, but the ball being on Iowa 1'y. m ost of the time .
The first few miuutes of the secou(l half were a r epetit ion of th e first, Barwick's injured kn ee bothering him quite a littl e In this half, Avery playing back with his usual sure tackling, kept an Iowa man from 8coring, who had broken through liue. It is an ol-.:1 proverb, that Avery never misses a man on a tackle.
Along toward the middl e of the second half, Barwick was given the ball, but slipping on th e grass, was downed several yards b e hind the line . Bnt with his usual determination, be took th1:: ball at the n ext clown, a nd break · ing through the line. ran thirty yards for a touch dowu. He later kicked the gaol.
Lat e r, throt1gh a fumbled punt , D es Moines got the ball on ou•· twenfy-five yard lin e, and after a hard stmggle pushed thP. ball over foi· a tonchdowu. They failed to ki c k goal. Score, Lincoln G, Des Moines 5.

T!Je Senior girls, formerly the M . M. M. society, were so full of life and vigor this fall that they resolved to 1·eorganize under the name of H. E. K's. The meetings have been full of inter stand au effort is being made to tlt·aw in tbe girls who we1·e f"onnerly inactive aud get them acquainted. A uumber of new u:Lme were propoRed at our last meeting and sotue evening . oou we Pxpect to have a lively initiation party for our pledglings ancl for those who were never initiated into the .M. M. l\i's.
The tirst H. E. N. pa1·ty will be given Friday evening at the home of Stella Clark, 27th aud Q streets, and all Senior gil"ls are earnestly invited to come, whether they a1·e st r ictly H . E. N's. or not. It is to be an H. E. X. party in both senses of the word and is to get the girl· better acqnainted with each other before wP attempted to give our first 1·eal p':l.rty.
A pin committee is at work and in a few Jays the H. E. X. g i rls h ope to distilwuish themselveR from the "common throng" by a neat little piu.
We expect to have a good program in cbapc 1 some morning and the schoo l will have cause \.0 feel the presence of the 1:-T. E. N. ·ociety iu a good many inRtaoceR before ma n y weeks have passed.

Alas! what sorrow sometimes causes. In their exuberant spirits the other night some of the High School boys destroyed other people' s property in a large bon-fire which was mad e for tbei1· ce l e bration. Cau we as High School t!tudents use up other people's property without paying f01· it and still keep np the moral standard of the High School as it has been in the past? And can we allow our moral standard and reputation to be lowered? These are serious matters which each one of · u;: should cai·efnlly consider. From the facts stated by a large number of s tudents, there were enough boys who participated in that bon-fire to have more than paid the bill (which amounted to between four and five dollars) if they had only contributed five cents apiece.
Dr Wolfe asked in chapel that the boys who were there should pay this amount, and
only a very. very few responded. Shall we say that the others did not Lave the manliness and courage to undo what th ey had done, when they knew it was right tbat the material used should be paid for, or that they were interested more iu their own gratification and p leasure than they were iu the welfare aud interests of the High School? ean only answer for them se lves. At any rate, they have not answered for and the bill bas not been fully paid. Some of the classes have taken the matter up, and part of the money has been collected in this way. How is the balance of the money to be raised?
Th e re are mauy more questions, aud much more to say on this subject, but let it suffice to say that we hope, If this bill is settled by th e High School, that the participants will never again indu l gP. in anything which will affect the honor of the L. H. S
Th e High School b e ll has bee n broken, and, as a result, we can 110 more hear its dtep tonel'l pealing forth through the still morning air, awakening us to a realization of the fact that it is time to u e t.a ke ourselves to school and r esume the duties left from the day before. No1· can we now hear its me r ry chimes wafted on the breez e!l of a bright sunny aftemoon, or on the gentle zephyrs of the evemng, wh en w e may know our foot ball team has won a victory over some apparently ind e fatigable opponent, or our debaters h ave ac hieved some great victory.
Whether the bell was broken uninteutionally or by pure carelessness, w e do not know, but as all of us know, it was damaged by the High Schoo l stude n t or studt-nts; it will hav e to ue paid for by the L. H. S . . if we eve1· want it for our own us e again There arc many iu w h ich we might pay for the repairing of the bell and if the classes take th e matter up as t h ey should, ther·e is no doubt but that the b e ll would soon be ready for use again.
If anything has ever o0curred in the High School which was it was the throwing of match heads about the auditorium before chapel exercises the other morning. The results might have been very disastrous if
most of the matches had not be e n picked up by some of the students and the faculty. Some clothing might have caught on fire and the person burned alive before auy one could have relieved them. \'\T e all know this was the case in Denver, Col., some few mouths ago wheu a young lady stepped on a match iu the street and r.e r clothing caught fire and death resulted. If the matches had remained ou the floor until time for chape l , as over a thou•aud students gathered in a room where matches wer e strewed all over the floor, fire in one way or another would have surely been the reshlt, and the building might have been d est royed and some lives lost.
How can the studeut body of the L. H. S. tolerate such actio us? We all talk about our self government, but wheu auy thing serious occurs we do uot even show a tendency toward self government. We have never had self government! It "caunot" exist without or _ ganizat ion, aud the studeut. body of the L. H. S. has "never" been organized to take care of its disorderly members.
The time has now arrived when we can do omething as a l'chool, and establish self government in the L. H. S. as it bas never been before . "Te have talked of self governmeut to outsiders and told them it existed in the L. H. S., but it was hypocrisy on our part. Se lf goverumeut in the L. H. S. is a fallacy, and does not t.his throwing of matches about the auditorium plainly show it? We simply have more fr·eedom here than elsewhere, possibly more freeilom than they have Ill any other High Schools of tht> state. It is a tendency towa1·d self government.
We have never beeu able, as a school, to settle the among us, and as yet we have don e absolutely nothing to find ont the guilty party ot· parties who threw the matches a r ound, and punish them accordingly. We cau all very readily see that this is because of lack of organization. W e ar·e all afraid to do anything individually, although we Fhonld not be.
Therefore now is the time to take the mat- ' . . ter up and that right away, before Iti Is too late, and show the public that we have the power to govern ourselves. If these matters are taken up · in the next regular class-meeting
of each class, t.her e is no doubt but that we can devise some way or means of establishing pm·ely self-government in the L. H. S., wnich will meet with the hearty approval of Dr. Wolfe and the fa c ulty, and which w:ll not only have a beneficial effect upon the High School, but upon each individual of the school as well.

Lincoln 16 Kamms City 0
In au exciting forty minute contest, Lincoln High Scnool defeated Kansas City Central High School by a score of 16 to 0. The feature of the game was the splendid team work of the Nebraskans.
At exactly 2:45 Manu kicked off to Centr·al's five yard line. Hill returned thirty-five yards before Avery stopped him. Central made five yards around end, and then found a bole in the line for two more. Again they tried the line, but it held like a stonewall. Central was forced to punt. Saunders sent the ball up the field seventy yards to Avery , who was down before be could return it. Barwick hit the line three time s in successiou for six yards at a down. Avery then turned his machine loose, and without relinquishing possessiou of the ball, carried it clea r across the field for a touch down, Fields ca rryin g the ball over the goal line.
Lincoln kicked off to central fifty-five yard lin e and Scan·it returned ten yards. The ball see-sawed back and forth across the field for the r est of the half. Central kicked off to Birkner, who returned fifteen yards. Again Avery turned his machine loose and the ball was taken clear across the field and Barwiek made a touch down.
On the kick-off the ball went to Hill, who · r etumed ten yards. Scan·it tried an end run, but a Lincoln man tore through the line and downed him for a loss of ten yards. Central was foreed to punt. Saunders sent the oval down the field fifty yards. Barwick secured it. and aided by the splendid interference , Fields, Avery and Myers returned it fift.y-five ya rds On the next play, Saults made twenty yards around central's end. Once more the machine began to w&rk, and Myers registered the third touch down. Avery kicked the goal.

Dea r Tom:
You know all about t,he breakiug out of war between the great uemocracy (Lincoln) and num ero us 1wtLy kingdorn that join Lineo ln o u different :< id le's. But it. will probably be n e ws to yon to tb:l.L 1 have been assigned to accompa ny Ge u c r a l Oliver Herbert Army, as war co rre spo nd eu t. N evertbeless, such is the truth, and I aru h avi ug a rather good time.
The real bat t le ot' the war was witb the Aksa.rben s , uutler B e nd e r. That mat c hl ess co mmand e r drove General Field's army fr m the field, but nu t until be had suffe red severe losses. Uolo11el Bell's brigade was complete ly de m o r a liz ed during th e first part of the battle. Colonel Cosner swooping dowu up o n him with his caval ry at a n unexpected momen t, n.nd comp l ett ly ove rpow ered him. Bell was so badly wounded tbat he bad to relinquish the co mm and of his brigade to Li eutenant Co l one l E:<ger. Bender ref o rm eJ his ·1rmy and s l ow ly drove FielJs from tbe field. Fields suLfered a loss (J f twe 11 ty -th r ce g um, l.Jut Ir e eompetel_v destroyed six of c r aek r egime nt s

The president, thinking of re-election, of course, did not u ncleceive Crooks.
<Oh, yes', he said, 'I remember you perfect· ly. You were the fellow with the straw bat on.'" And this is why Crooks shakes bauds only with his left.

We cannot publish a ten page paper and get it out every week if the studEnt-body do not support us. So far this year , material has been coming in v e ry slow, until the last mom e nt, when everybody wonlfl want their e opy "to be sure and go in.''
It causes us a great deal of trouble and labor to go around the sc hool and ask every on e , who is the editor for some organization, if their copy i s ready. It is usually not ready and the result gene1·ally is, when it is ready, it is too late to put it in the paper for that week, and c onsequently it would be too old to put it in, the following week and so it nrver gets published. Is thiR ou r fault? We do every thing we can do to get the paper· out promptly every Wednesday afternoon, and still the do not support us as they should , in our efforts. The Advertising Manager and the Business Department work hard all week, adver·tisements and s ubscriptions , and
the Ed i torial Staff work bard all we e k to mak e the literary part of th e paper a sucess: yet the school, as a whole, do not takr enough interest in the paper to seP that it i;; made a greater succes .
All we ask is that each student do whatever he or can do to help us in publishing this paper.
We would esp e cial ly request that, as far a s the Pditors for va r ious band in their copy on Saturday or as early as posRible on Monday, iu ord e r that we may know as soon as possib le, jnst what we have to do to complete the paper for each week, and not have to have so much trouble the last monient., and then not have the paper come out promptly besides.
If enough copy is not band ed in f o r a teu page paper, we will have to reduce it to erght pages, and is the last thing we wish to do. If the school does their part iu suppo r ting the paper, we will try and do our best to to make the paper a success in every possible way

Lincoln, Omaha and York are the Ya le, Harvard and Princeton of Nebraska. Games between these big high schools are always interesting, and each and every one of the three trams, would gladly los e all their o ther gamP!'4 if they could only defeat the others. Licolu bas uot been beaten this year , and ha;; played some of the fastest high school reams iu the middle w est. Outside the game with the University of Nebraska, her record rs as follows:

Lincoln and York have played nothing except purely higl·. school team8, wbilt• Omaha has played only two high school Yo1:k a nd South Omaha. Harlan, (Iowa,) is a professional team, including three graduate playfrom the University of Iowa. Omaha
Uoll{'gc included men in tbeir line up who hav e eoached college teams at different times. Creighton college play ed two men who played base ball in the Western l eague last season. Consideri11g everything, Or:-,aha has made a remarkable showing. Co unting ont the professional teams, she has :sco red, in two games, 26 points to her oppon· <> nt s 0.
I expect to see win on November 14th, for she plays a stroug defP.nsive game, with a crippled team holding the heavy York hoy:; ou her own ten yard line, aud holding City o n Lin co ln's six yard line. Her offgnse is good aud Coach Mickle is working hard to perfect it. Back of all this her players are imbued with that to do or die which bas been characteristic of every team the Lincoln high school ha8 ever turned ()Ut
Since Linooln has gotten out of the foot ball kindergarten, no high school team ever defeated her by n1ore tban 11 points.
Lincoln has a hard schedule this year, also ;l. fast team, which all the suppol·t yo n can give them.
Let Us Decorate
Our sthool is now"f;,tirly well supplied with material conveniences. Om· intellectual needs :are ministered to by as able teachers as othe1· high schools pu8sess. Our social organization is in the line of natural development. Our
school r11lations with one another are. perhaps, in a more satisfactory condition than they have Leen fo1· many months. We Me working out some radical and imp o rtant proLlems in high school life right here at home. Our moral attainments have been increa sed by all th ese factor s.
From lack of exerc ise ou1· esthetic nature does not unfold. Few high schools with e v e n 200 pupils have as bare walls as t,he Lincoln h1gh school has with more than five times as many pupils. Is it not time to begin impi'Ovement here?
The Faculty, assisted by the Woman's Club and the Nebraska Art Association, have deeided to help the pupils secure pictures for our walls. They have engagP.d some three or four hundred of the world's best art and will hold an exhibitio11 on the first floor of the city library during the latter part of next week. These photographs are worth in the aggregate about $3,000, and it is hoped that many of them may be placed permanently on the walls of the Lincoln High School.

I'm going to take a trip some day into the country land
To see the things in natural state. I think they must be grand.
I'll tlee the milk-wagon at home, in the pasture where it feeds;
How funny to see the littl e pigs growing on pig weeds.
Out there you see the origin of things-boxes on bux elder trees,
And ashes drop from the ash tree boughs when shaken by the breeze.
All nature's alive to the help of man: the cut worm cuts his hay;
All is beauty and unsurpassed, and the nightingal e sings all day.
The canned tomatoes grow on tomato vines, as lucious as heart can wish,
And where the things in a natural state, the eggs grow on the egg plant bush; The geese grow on the goose bearing trees, and the pine-apples grow ou the pin{;s;
The wint e rgreen thrives in the winter, and the grape-nuts grow on the vine.
Oh! the farmer is a happy man, and he liveth many years-·
Th e pumps grow on his pumpkin vines, and the corn grows on his ears;
If ever I reach that place, I think I'll always stay there-
Where the people are as green as grass and the hayseed sprouts in their hair.

Another War Stot·y
DEAR ToM: The past two months hav e been so full of stirring events that I hav e been kept busy all day and into the night. Ev e r y evening I would try to sc ribble you a few liues, but would hardly get a pen c il in my fiugers wh e n that bugler (McLaughlin) would sound taps But having reaehed Lincoln again, I have found time to write.
On the 24th of the month Field's ever victo· rious army e ncountered the OurmissionR at Saksantny and completely routed them. Munu's artillery w as moving forward preparatory to takiug up a position 011 Kuhn's hill , when he encountered the enemy. Hastily throwing up iutrenchments npon a little raise and supported by in fan try und e t· Brig. Geu. Hartley, he stood them at bay until Avery anived with his diVISion. Avery then opened tile contest i11 earuest, by sending the brigades of Burre s and Birkner against the e nemy's right wing. Th ey fought bard and determinedly for a couple of hours. It looked as though they wavered so Avery sent word to 1\{unu to turn batteries upon their right wing , and also ordered Saults' brigade of cavalry to execute a flank movement. The enemy was forced to take up a new position. They lost five guns as a r es ult of this fier ce onslaught.
At noon tllere was a lull in the fighting, but at 1 o'clock Fields opened up with a cannonade all along the line. Under cover of this smoke the cavalry under Saultll and Cosner and a brigade of infantry under Myers excuted a flank movement, while Barwick, Burress, Birkner, Avery and Cameron led their brigade in a fierce charge against the e nemy's right wing. :McLaughlin and Hartley's commands supported the artillery and kept the enemy at bay, thus making possible the brilliant flank movement.
By night the enemy was driven from th e field, a routed, demoralized band of fugitives. The cava lry kept thundering at their heels all night long, giving them no rest.
Th e Ourmissians signed a treaty with Linco ln and have gotten int o trouble with the Sedoimsens.

A drir.zling rain had been falliug fo1· fortyeight h o urs, :,omewbat dampening the ardor of the troops. Part of the heavy artillery had been left behind , but in spite of heav y odd s, Fields was s lowly driving them from the tield, when nightfall put an end to the Fields ' slept ou their arms that night :wd [•Wait ed the :trri val of th e two brigades under Barwick :tnd But. wh e n mornino- broke a courirr arrived with th e news that ,... pea(·e had bee n signed.

OuR DuTY
This is a very important week a mong the Lincoln high students. And the students who have been sitting by the wayside and letting tbe other students do the work \Vill have to wak e up. This week every student will have to be awake and be on the alert.
The reason that tbi is an importaut week is because of the Art Exhibit and the Foot Ball o-ame.
Now Students, we must support both of these. Of the two , I think the Art Exhibit is the most important. vVby? Because we have thought of athletic too much and have neglected our building. Look at our walls then look at some other high schools of the same size. It is a shame that we have spent all of these yea rs in a sleep. But now it is time to wake up. Take the .little town of Crete for instance; they have better looking walls thau we hav e. There are picture>< on the wall" and 111
the center of the balls they have crmo cases. Tben look at Kansas City, with their fin e building and fine balls. See those fiue pictures on the walls; with statuary here and there. In the recitation roomB th e y have a i<uffieieut numb e r to make the walls look niee. \VlJen any athletic team come to these towns they take pl eas ure in showing their building and pictures.
Now Stuuents, when we bring any athletic team to our town, do we take ple as ure in showing them our school, with onr pieturelePS aud dirty walls? No! How eau we do it? Now every one of you take this as a personal matter, discuss it with a determination that you are going to Jo something. After yo n have· clone th at take out some if you haveu't already done so, and sell them you1 · friends. Surely yon will n ot allow yotH8elf to take no interest at a ll n-nd lot the walls stay as they are. Shame shall be put upon us if you do. Nevertheless, foot ball ca nnot be neglected. I'V e must hav e a gond c rowd clown to the grouncle, and cheer the boys on to viccory. vVouldn't it be a disgrace to have Omaha l>eitt antl take away from us the• championsbi]J of the state? Now Students, what. doyon think abo ut it? Or do you not tiJink :l.L all? No oue ean make yon go. It will be yonr own free-will aet.. But if )011 have any inter est in t he Lincoln high school aDd w:wt to s how it, turn o ut n ext Satu rd ay to the fo o t ball game and eheer the boys on to victory.

Tbe part that the youth of our city ean play in th e matte1 of the formation of a publi(Jc op1n10n favoring the beautifying of home, a11cl city is tremendous. we, of the high school, fall sbort i.JJ this negnrd, is a matter of conce ru to many.
Alreauy the eifort is betng macle in ou1 · graded schools to develop the right kind of sentiment in art, musi c and d eeo ration. But what is to be the of the result if, betwe e n the g rade s and univer or bu in es life, there is to b e :111 int e rim o r se h oo l lif e,one of the mo ·t infl.,tenti:tl i11 t.be cbi ld 'R development ,-- when the sehool suJTOUJJtling. are almo!'>t e ntirely de17oicl of the nplif t i11g in -
tlueuces of the truly beautiful?
'l'l,ere is no more important period in the sehool life of a city' youth than that of the high school period. Our boys and girls are just getting their tirst real insight into their future possibilit ie , and they are beginning to feel tl1c power of originatiug and developing pl:tns for their own guidance. Their inclination to br e ak away from tbc trammels of conventionality and the restraining influence of home and make it doqbly desirable that they shou l d be surrounded by all that is beautiful, noble and inspiri11g, not only in thfl cha racter of the men aud women who are their instrut:tors, but that they should be given the opportunity to look upon and dream daily of the nwjestic and 1n nsterfu l thought of our g reat artists and ptors, a nd gather the eonception of the really beautiful as it appears to the best men and women of their own community
The boys and girb of high school age are peunliarly susceptible to the influence of beautiful thoughts, because it is just the time when they ar e first the sweets of iudependeut thought and action. Thf'n how n ec essary it is that 111otives to euuobling thought and a etiu11 ;;houlcl uc co nstantly before tbei1J.
All this is w<'ll to say to the fathers aml but, boys and girls, is there not for you to do yourse lv es toward franJing a public sentim e ut that shall tend toward the beantifying of the school room and con, equent ly, toward the beautifying of the city i Did you ever realize that you ean make the public op ini on of the next half century whaL you wiRh iL lo be in your community·? Do you not know that if you make it clear to you r parents that you want these b eautiful thing!> about you, that your most <-heri_shed will be gratified in a large 111easure'? Do not sit dowu to wait for yonr tl-'achers, or the culture clnbs of your city to matt e rs, but push out yo•.1 r se l ves and demand that w!-Jieh is your undoubted right, the of all those factors of edu cation that will make for the development of well-roundeu characters, that will make of you and your successors true men and women. Whatever yon and your parents wish in the matter of school equipment, the ever ready
and willing cbool Board will grant you to the utmost of their ability.
Athletics have been splendidly supporteu and even pushed by this school. No one doubts for a moment the excellent results coming from this enthusiasm for healthful exercise and games that shall give good physique and strong powers of endurance. But if this enthusiasm has been productive of ideal results, and it should be if it is truly uplifting, it should, by this time, have put into us the spirit of progress a l ong intellectual and other cu ltur e lin es.
"Our walls are bri§;ht with bauuers, And with cups and medals gay'' won on the ath letic field. Now let us make them bright with the pictures and sculpture that sha ll testify In no uncertain terms to our intellectual worth, and to our love of - that which beautifies and ennobles the life within.
"Make this pre s ent art exhibit of ours the grmtt ucce s that you have made our athletic eveuts of th e past. It means quite as mueh, 1 think more, to you than any JHevious effort for the improvem e nt of our s chool.
One student expresses himself as thin king it us e less to put bea11tiful pictures on our unl:!ight l y wallA. But do you not think that t.hese beautiful pictures will be one of the sure t way of hastening the day when our high ·choo l will b e provided with a building that it will be a d elight to decorate and beautify and lovingly ca re for?
It a well knowu busiuess principle, that if you appear to be satisfied with what you have, you are 1wt likely to get anything better. On e of the most effective ways of letting it be known that you want a beautiful school home i s to make every eff o rt you can to beautify the o ne yon have. Possibly the pathos of the situation will appeal to the pockets of the public as nothing else could do, and hasten the time when the high school shall be houtlecl in a manner ap]Jrop ri ate to one of t.he most important institutions of onr city.

We desire our high school to be up to, and a b ove t he standard o f other schools in at hletics, debating, etc., so why not in this respect? There is no reason why we should not.

H. E. N. Notes
A special me e ting of the H. E. N. society was held a week ago Monday, to arrange for a theat re pa r ty that evening. Thirty-three girls cuaperonecl by Mit' Long and Miss 'futt l e greatly enjoyed Alexander the Great. Between acts they en j oyed themselves looking at I tb e i r friends be low in the pit and first balcony.
H. E. N. society held their regular meetiug 1 n 204 last Friday aftemoon. The girls have Je c ided on a silve r wif'hbone pin as the embl e m of the soc iety. (They will make fine sca r f vi us.) .Members wanting pius will pleaee band thei r na1nes to Emma Sweezy as soon aR posf<ihle. Fobs were also discussed for the louker keys. They will be ye ll ow backg r ound and blue IE:>tters, the H. E. N. colors.
interest has beeu taken in the society this yea1· than a ny yE>ar s in ue we organized, when we were Sop homor es. We came together in tlH• first place to become bette r auquai n ted a nd , if possib le, estab li sh a better a n d st r onge r c lass spi rit. From the membership and number in attendance at the meetings it seems as though thi h as been accomp li s h ed.
Cicero nian Notes

The debates h ave been very snappy and and t h e questions have bad a due 1 rc o l vi n g. Preparat io n s are be:ng mach: for 1
debates with Omaha and Beatrice, and the school shou ld be well rept·esentecl in these as well as in the iu terscolastic. TherP. is no la ck of material in the societies, to say nothing of the great quantity in the school which is too backward to brace up and come arou nd.

Girls' Atheltic Notes
The work iu the gir l s' gymnasium is now prog r essing nicely, the yea r being quite well advanced. Regu Jar class work is being done by the students a ll hours of the day. When no c lasses a r e ou the fioor, 9th a n d lOth periods, basket ball and base ball practice a r e e ng aged in. As yet, ba e ball is scarce, but teams will soon practice and be ready to achieve class honors in co nt ests. Regular basket ball praetiue, however, has beeu go in g on since the opening of gy mu asium. Besides the differeut c lass teams, at lE>ast two capab l e teams a r e in practice, and the L. H.

Every L. H. S. teacher and student h as occasion to feel proud of the spirit manifested by the student body during the past we e k. We have had 0 11 ha11ds two important high school interests, the art exhibit and the Lincoln vs. Omaha foot ball game. :Now , we wonld ra1her defeat Omaha in any contest we have with her than to win the gaye>:t trophy from any other high school. She is our natural rival and although she outnumbers us by five hundred students, the L. H. S. depends upon the native ability of her stndents to make up for this. And how fairly we did outclass her in foot ball last Satm·d':ty! Neve•· did our boys play a better game. They were in good tnm and pbyed heroically. But it was tl'.e spirit of thei•· high school that helped them to win this victory . The loyalty and joyous enthusiasm of their school fellows on the side lines and ou the bleachers led them on to victory. The perceut of high
school who p:tid admission to the g::une a nd gave their he :1 rty support to the!Jlaycrs p e rhaps th e larg est for some years. past. Friday morning's chapel exercise put them iuto the right mood fo r e nj o ying_ thegam e It wa s br ief, but to t h e poiut, a ud io. t l, is re s pe ct an i111prove meut upou some of former foot ball rallies.
Th e art exhibit a uew featu1·e but it ha & received the ea rne s t support of many
Their interest was shown iu the chee•·fulness w·ith which they took up the task of tick e ts, ne v e r a pleasant ont,. to say the least. In consequence, we havehad a succt'Rsful outcome iu the matter of fiuane e, and wh at is of greater in1p o rtance, t.he who atte11ded h a ve a b e tt e r appreciation of good pictures and a r e now desirous of studying a nd learni n g about art. In a few year!', if there is opportunity given, the student body may b e just eutuusiastic ove 1· anuual art exbibitl:! as over the of thei1· annual contests on the gridiron with ou•· enemy, Omaha.
Anoth e r good result of th e exhibit that the Danghttws of the A1neriean Revolutiou ,. one of the most progressive women ' s o•·ganizations in Lhe state, presents to the high schooL The Spirit of Seventy-Six. a t-welve dolla1· picture, and one much admired by the students at the exhibit. Th ey have volunte e red to frame it also a nd present i t •·eady to be hung on onr walls. Tbe s ud e nt body will b ecertainly grateful for the generosity and appreciation of this society. W e wish numerous other organizationR would helv ns generously to beautify our hom e
When we make an e ffort to b e progressive, and let the community know that we love ours choo l and w1sh to make it ideal, we will tind as we hav e found at this time, that friends areglad to have an opvortunity to show thei•good will and interest in our concel'lls.
Patronize our advertisers. Every iu the ADVOCATE heips support o1ar paper
Then, as this is a High Sebool paper, every student Rhould snppo1·t on1· adve1·tisers in eve ry. way they can,
We solicit oJ!ly the advertisements We ca.n tmt b fully and ;:af6' ly say that the ad
ers 111 this paper are the besl in Liucoln in their line of trade. Then, we see it would be to our own personal adv:::ntage to 1.mt rouize our advertisers, as welt as to the ad vantage of the paper and tlw sehool, uec ::tuse we get th e best of goods at these places, at Le same price that we would hav e to pay to get a cheaper quality at othe1· places.
But, you may ask how they will know that ADYOCA'n; are patronizing them? .Just tell them that you saw · thei1· advertiselllent in the ADvOCATE. Advertisers like to see direct resultR. Many times we patrouize our advertisers after seeing their ad v. in the vaper, bt1t do not tell them we saw it there, and consequently they do not know how much good their advertiseme11t doing them.
If we tell advertise1·s that we saw their adv. iu the pape1·, we will not only be i11suring the success of the paper for the ensuing year, by showing them that they are gettiug the support of the L. H. S., but insuring the success of the paper in the future by letting the advertiser know when he gives us his advertisrment, he will receive our patronage.
Class of 1 906
The regular rneetiug of the Sophomores was held in 33, after the seventh Friday. Although a large part of the clas8 was absent, a few of the faithful were present. 'l'he different committees were asked for their reports, but as usual, they had nothing tO report. As the party committee, which was appointed at the begi11niug of the year, had done nothing, it was discharged aud a n e w one appointed in its place.
Miss Ellis was at the meeting aud gave us a talk that aroused much e nthusiasm ;n the class.
A large nnmber of Sophomores went to the Omaha game, Saturday. We are very proud of the Sophomores ou the foot-ball team. Albert Gebhart is one of the mobt promising players in the L. H. S.
Extracts From Daily Paper·s
It was the same old story, for the !>a me old r easo n, iu the Lincoln-Omaha High School football game at F. & M. Park, 26 to 0 in favo1· uf Lincvlu, and from the time the two teams mixed after the fi1·st kickoff it was just
a questi o n of bow many. N e vel' fo1· a minute was the Lincoln gual menacerl, and even with an injunction the Omaha boys would have failed. For e nd runs, through the line 01· quarterback plays, Lincoln wa invincible. Its formations was made with dazzling rapidity , Omaha offererl goorl resi.,;ta ne e, and played bard, bnt the two teams are not in the same class. -Omaha Daily Bee.
Sensational playE began with the game when Cameron for Lincoln, made a twenty yard run for a touchdown in l ess than five minutes after· the game started. In seven minutes more Avery kicked a field goal from tQe fifteen yard line-Omaha Bee.

Ft·eshmen Party
The Freshmen had a party,
A wouderous thing and fair; The Sophs were not invited , But all the same wer e there.
'l'he Faculty did shine out
Iu gay and bright; And the moon did out-rival
The .,;p l endor of he1 light.
Th ey thought they d be o'er crowded,
But as the saying goes;
Th e re's always room fo1· one more chick, But bow, nobody knows.
They sat vn cha ir s. in windowl'l,
They sat upon the floors; And some of t,he Sophomores, 'vV ere foreed to sit out doors.
Oh, 8ophomores, be ca r eful !
Oh, Sorhomo r es, beware !
Fur when you r party around, Th e Freshmen may be there.

Or to tutor two tutors to toot?

Bnt I'll tell you anyhow
That I'd rath e r see than Le one.

The followiug poem was unavoidably omit- I tl'd last issue:
Thanksgiving
Of all the days of the y<>a r ,
That b rin g to me the most of eheer.
..Aud make tn y hea1·t feel youug and gay The best of all's Thauksgiviug day.
I live onee more those happy
Of childhood's joys aud e ndless plays;
1 long old hill across the stream
Where coa ·tiug t;:eemed a perfect d realll
f i,d how I loved the orchard still ' WhieiJ bordered on the daiJJty rill; And in the sp rin g bow the birds would sing, Aud fairly make the hillside ring.
•- u t though I loved the green fields wide, And the go lden sntt at even-tide l still believe above all t h e rest, 1 love Thanksgiving day the best.
How I watched old Gobbler proud, vVbose horizon held not a si ng le doud, .And thought if he knew h ow he'd feed a host He'd then and there give up the ghost.
.And how I watched my nt other cook 'rhiugs, you cannot find in a book; Puddings and pies and sauces aud The very things that boys appreciate.
.And oh, the expectancy of the whole affair
A ll I cou ld do was to wish and stare, .And long fo r the gt·eat olrl clay to cvme, When I shou ld be filled, and then some.
..An<l bow I fasted for tb r ee days o r more, 'L'bat I might have l ots of room in And be able to eat, and eat, and eat, Till I should be filled hom crown to feet.
Aud when the time at last came round, With the food on the table pound by pound .And al l our friends were seated there to, I fe l t truly thankfu l, uow wouldn't you?
Tlwre lay the turkey so g rand and brown,
AnJ the love ly bread as light as dowri
.A: nd e r aube rry sauce, a nd pudd ing so fine,
My, a king might feel honored to dine!

The Junior g irl s have, afte r much exertion formed an organization. Their purpose is evidently to reform the evils of soeiety, as they have gone t;ack to ti rst principals, and the primitive, unostentatious manner of living. At least they ca ll themselves "The Chic-asaws," o r "C hi c-a-sees," or "Egg-o-Sees;" its not quite ce rtain which, became the president Jeuny Bishop, when asked, didn't know either.

Some way, Big Dav e got tired of the ca rdp la y ing and drinki11g early that night, and left tbe bar-room and the other min e r s by tw e lv e o'c lo c k In spite of t.he carousing below b e went to sleep in a few minutes, so that (as be told me afterwards) he b ad a loug Rpe ll to drealll in. And h e thought he have dreamed from Lhe time lt e turned in until daybreak. He cou ldu 't exp lain , it nnleEs o ld whiskey was particularly bad tbat night., for h e in the habit of seeing fllol thingR in bi s 81ecp, lik e a tenderfoot 0r a w o1natL Maybe it wasu't draaming,-he didn't kuow. Anyway, it was pretty naturaL
He dreamed of the o ld place back in Illinois. He saw the gray old bouse, patched nnd adde d to, but shaded and oftened by hug e elm trees. lie saw tbe b<trns, the pasture and the c r eek, the green fields rw d the ·attle. At it to be S[Jring, for the o r ehan l b::tck or the house was pink with blosO ni S. The trees were covered and beneath were driftiu<r banks of the sweet petals. Then blosSOIIIS fatlecl into snow. A co ld wind swept the trees bare, and the air was filled with dancing The snow cpve r ed the ice of the c r ePk. [t was on tbe roofs of the bouse and the The sheep were c! owded together in t ht' lot,-aud then, the sn n sPe1netl to s hin e agai11, makin g the now g l is tell al to ul i ncl i ng.
D:tve saw him se lf as a boy, coasting down tbP hill behind the barn. His sleti was long e n Dugh for his Polly to s nu gg l e up 1-ac:k of him As they shot down the hill , red ya rn S<;arf floated Rtraight out behind fluttered in the wind and was wrapped by a n<ld e n gnst a r ound Polly's n c ·k. V\Th at fun a nd o h , the joy of motion!
The ;;led seerued to go 0 11 ancl o n , until it reac-hed the c re ek. Then it summer agai 11 and tile s letl was a boat. Pnll v w;ts no longer with him but at the ot h e r e n.d of the skiff, Cousi n Mary traile<l h er haud in the <; le:H water. Dave was now ;t young mau and h • made the boat g lid e a l o n o- with ·tro ng, eve n st r okes. At they had to heneath the over b a nging willows, aud then the lJn:tt o ut into mid -st r eam. 'l'hey paRsec]
the cattle. drinking in the ford. The barn w ent by as in a moving panorama, - ancl the stacks of w beat ready for tbreRhing.
As the bouse appeared between the trees, Dave was a boy oncr> more, and be saw hi mother pulling the rope of the dinner-bell which stood on a post by the back porch. He a n cl brother Tom and Polly ran in from the elm-tree playhouse that was out by tbe ciderpress. Polly tripped ove r a Rtick and Tom helped her up wl1ile Dave flew on to dinner.
When he h ad come to the house he seemed to be in the spa r e bed-room. It was dark and co ld. lu t.be comer b is father groaned in the big four-post heel. His mother, leaning against the c h est of drawers, li stened to the whispered talk of a big, so l emn looking man, while Polly, Ton1 and be were hntldled together at the fuot of the b ed, c ryin g. They cried for a lo ug time until there seemed to be a river of tears to float away in. Dave felt that be floated and floated a l one in tile nio·ht b and the co ld. And all tlw time he was c ryin g, though h e seemed to forget why be cried.
Th en it g r ew warmer and lighter. The young m a n Dave was ouL in the suuny road that led to the town. ll e wore his bedt suit of c loth es and carried the o ld carpet-bag that was so seldom used. His mother leaned agai n l'lt the front gate, h er white hair g l eaming in the s unshin e, and she h e ld her blue gingham apron to h e r eyrs. Over in the pasture he bearcl the she<'lp-bell tinkle, tinkle, tinkle.
Dave w o k e with a start. The insi tent elang of the hotel breakfast bell came from below. Th e h eavy tramp of eowhide boots went down the ball. Big Dave dre sed slowly. Then he took clown the bit of lookiug-glass from the she lf and examined his face thoughtfully.
Suddenly he snatched .up his felt brtt and down to the dining-room. At the door lie stopped, looking a round o n tbe men eating l1a eo n an<l drinking co(fec, and .b e Raid in a r eso lut e tone, "Boys, I'm go in g back east on tbe eight o'cl ock exprc·ss: It's to spend Christm:tH with my mother, and I don't know whether I'm coming back. Goodbye to yon all"
While the other min e r s were l< ,oking a round Big Davp sw nng off clown the treet. .f. L. F.

DR. FREDERICK W . SANDERS
The board! of education elected Dr. Fredrick W . ;mcrers of Potsdam, N. Y., to succeed Dr Wolfe ; principal. We are g l ad to say that as we have eretofore been fortunate in securing first-c l ass princ i pals, our good fortune stays with us in getting Dr. Sanders The Journal has this, in part, to say of Dr Sanders: Dr. Sanders is• said' to be s plendidly equipped for the position. He received t h e degree of doctor of vhilowphy from the Univers i ty of Chi cago in 1895. He began to teach in 1883, and ' since that t i me has done every grade of teaching from primary to_ univ e rsity, meeting with success. In addition to th i s he has spent a great deal of time in vis i ting the most interesting schools of the United States, from Massa c husetts to California, and in studying their m e thods . It is said that few men in the country h a v e so intimate a knowledge of the a ctual wor!{ of A meri can and European secondary schools as Dr. Eander s. He has also had the ad •vantage of >:tudying under some of the lead i ng ed ucators i n America, among them John DEl'W'ey, of the Univers ity of Chi c ago, Ni cholas Murray B u tler of Oo l umuniversity and G Stanl e y Hall of Clark univerIn Germany h e had the privil ege of becomi ng familiar with the work of the famous pedat.,o gi al s e minary of the University of Jena , under the dir ec tion of Prof W Rein. After re ceiving his co<:tor ' s degree at Chi cago , he spent a year at Columbia as university fellow, and a year as extension le c turer in sociology and ed,u cation for the University of Ch i cago. He was then called to West Virginia un i versity as assistant professor of pe d agogy and instr u ctor in history and English in the preparatory school. Two years later , after having b een promoted to a full profeswrship , he became p resident of the New Mexi co college of agri c ulture and m ec hani c Because of the rapid i ty of his pwmotion, and be cause his work was large l y exe c utive and more in the line of se condary than · might be s upposed', in 190Q he determin e d to return to se condary work as soon as he co u ld conven i ently do so, and as the first step to this end resigned the presiden cy of New Mexi co college to study edu ca-
t i ona! cond i tio n s abroad before entering h is chosen field of work. Upon h i s return to America in the fa ll of 19 02 he a cc epted an honorary fellowsh i p at C lark university, spendi n g most of that year upon fl. book on the "Organizati on of Edu c ation ," whi c h is soon to be p u bl is h ed', and i n 1903 became head· of the department of soc i ology, psy c ho l ogy and modern lang u ages in t h e Thomas i::l. Cl arkson Memor i al school of te c hnology at Potsdam, N. Y. , whi c h pos i tion he is now filling
T h e board of re commendatio n s of the U n iversity of Ohicago most highly of his character, energy and ability, in part as follows :
"Mr. Sanders entered L..te univers i ty in October , 1903 , and re ceived h i s Ph. D degree in t h e department s of s oc iology and• philosoph y in 1895 The c hara c ter of h is work while a student in the university was of the highest grade. Prof essor Small , head of th e d e partment of so ciology, says , ' I think he has de cided ex ecut i ve ability and that he will mak e a marked su cces s .' Professor Raymond says:

In writing a scathing arraignment en titled ' High School 'Frats' and Sororities," in the last Saturd•ay Evening Post, Mr. E>. G. Cooley (superintendent of Chicago schools), aft er say ing that these " frats " have no legitimate p la ce in high school life , concludes with this Eta tement : " Parents should clear l y understand that the high sc hool 'frat' means an early and a lib e ral education in snobbishness, in loafing, in mischief and in the manipulation of school politics."
Whateve r the ca se may in th e future, at presnt we feel justified in saying that the atta ck, if co nsid e red as ap p lying to the "frat" in our school, is un provoked

As this semester nears a c lose, many of us find ourselves on the Yerge of despair . Hap py has been our lot up to this time. But now, flun l{! flunk!! FI UNK!!! stares us• in the face at every turn. Midnight oil may save us , but it is doubtful. And why this state of affairs? Simply because we are attend i ng school from for ce of habit. Perhaps because w e find it easier to s-pend our time going to s ch oo l than in doing anything e l se. Or for some other reason we are considering it best" to remain in school. Those of us who ar e doing this have lost sight of the fact that we are in school for a purpo se. We hav e forgotten that wh il e we ar e to enjoy ours el ves we are also to secure something that will provide for future enjoyment. o 'ur plan has been a slipshod sort of one. We have had no aim in view, no earnest desire to accomplish anything and' con se quently we have merely floated along. W'e may have worked for credit s, but if so i t was- for the marl<s and not for the actual knowedge. Now what we ne e d to realize is that our high s·chool life is to serve some purpose ; that in getting lesso ns we benefit oul'selv es far mor e than anybody e lse; and that it is a permanent and not a transient be nefit. The sooner we be come aware of these fa c ts, th e sooner w e become really desirous of pre paring our lessons Stud•ying will then be as interest i ng a s a football game, as r ealisti c as the dinner table and as profitable as a share in the best paying gold mine, while there will be no such word as " flunk " or "fail."
With the outgoing of Dr. Wolfe and the in co ming of Dr. Sanders, our system of se lf-government may re ce iv e its seve rest test Not because Dr. Sanders will b e antagonisti c to our sel}government plan (for we have no intimation that such will be th e case), but because discredit may be cast u po n it by some among our number . W e do not b e lieve there is a student in the school who would', knoWingly, chang e our method of school government for the military system of Omaha, the fa culty s-ystem of Kansas• City (as regards chapels, etc.), or the system of any other high school in th e co untry As far as we lmow , our m ethod is with-

out a parallel in any other high school. But we do fear that there are a few in the school who are liable to a c t thoughtlesdy. Most of these may be older students , ;probably some are Freshmen. None of them would intentionally commit an a ct that would abridge our school liberties · All want to be allowed the greatest possible freed'Om in their actions. N'Ow thi,;; is exactly what our self-government meanS', viz., do as you please so long as you do not interfere with the rights of others. Talking in c hapel is doing as you please, but it is also interfering w'ith your neighbor who is trying to listen to what is going on, and hence it is not a liberty granted by self-government. Running through the halls is d'Oing as you please, but it is also disturbing clas·ses anct hence it is overstepping the of self-government. But , you ask, how much better are these re s tri c tions from those of a school where the principal or fa c ulty exercise full control and set rules of condu c t are established? Just this. Now you can whis per in c hapel during the intermissions of a program or any time it is absolutely ne cessary. With the strict discipline of a principal you would not be allowed' to whis per at all. Now, you can go through the halls at almost any time s o long as you do so with proper de corum. With the discipline system you would not be able to go through the halls at all during class periods, and between classes only in the most reserved' and quiet manner possible. A long catalogue of other advantages our present method of government has over any other, might be named, e. g., the culture and strength of character we get from pra c ticing :self- c ontrol. But are any or all of them worth preserving? If so, it is our duty , first, to exer cise self-restraint, for example is better than precept; and second, to assist others in doing the same Further, we must not e v en be content with this, but must go to the extent o'f rebuking , severely if ne cessary, those who maliciously trample on the privileges ac c ruing from self-government.
We have the assuran c e that Dr. Sanders is a broad-mind e d man, well experien c ed and fully callable of running our school. No doubt but that he wi;J give our system of self-government a chan ce t0 Rt and' or fall by its own virtues or vi ce s If we ;nanif est a deEire to control ourselves and' we are to get the incoming Fres hm e n into line, we shall undoubtedly see no c hange in the governm e nt of · th e s c hool. But 1f, on the other hand ,
wP. fail to act properly ourselves and thus• encour· age the new students to do the same, then we shall Hnc Dr. Sanders favoring a rigid system of school guvernment.
SENIOR NOTES.
The regular meeting of the class of 1905 was held in room 204 Friday night. Dr. Wolfe gave us a p,leasant talk on the prospects of the school and the Senior class.

SOPHOMORE NOTES.
Ali Sophomores who missed the last class meeting before the holidays missed not only a good n:weting , but a most interesting talk by Miss Bridge , one of our sponsors. She told u,;; of her in E 'urop e in a very .pleasing way. However, s he spoke mostly on Italy, its inhabitants and one cf its greatest wonders , Mt Vesuvius. The de-

scription of the trip to the crater was exceedingly well told and enjoyed by all present. From her talk the writer gained the following information : tl) ChildTen in Italy are happy, only 5 per cent cry. (2) Bread is the chief food. (3) There are four deaths (or more) in Italy from starvation each day. (4) Twenty cents a day is good pay for a man. (5) When they dry macaroni they flavor it with dirt. (6) That " See Naples and die" should be revised " Smell Naples and die."
Howard Thompson and Forrest Tebbets have written class papers• lately Who will be next?
The following persons have been elected by the class to help keep order in the school: Grace Salsbury, June Brown, Stanfield Wells, Ira Davis, and Harry Stults.
We had• some distinguished Freshmen in our chapel section l ast Friday. We also sent a delegation to the Freshmen section. We were glad to see that it caused no ill feeling on either s i de This shows how self-government is progressing.
A great many members of our class are expressing sorrow at Dr. Wolfe's approach i ng departure. It certainly will come too quickly. Wherever he goes he may !mow that he will be long remembered in the old' L. H. S., e3pecially by the Sop•homores.

FRESHMEN NOTES
The Freshmen held their regular meeting Friday, December 16, in room 26. A large number were present. We intend to have very enterta i ning and interesting programs for the rest of the school year and hope every Freshman will enjoy them.
At our last meeting we had an impromptu debate on the subject, "Resolved! , That a tall man is more beneficial to common life than a sbort man." The affirmative was argued by ouis F. Meier and the negative by Ethel Bohrer. The question was quite comical and we hope to have another some time in the future.
The Freshmen heldJ their regular meeting Friday, January 6th, in room 26 . A very interesting class paper was read• A report was made by the treasurer A short debate was held concerning the Sophomores who come up in our section in chapel, but it was decided to let a few sit with us that they may thereby be reformed.

The girls of the Lincoln High School defeated the of the Crete High School in a game of basket ball, last Saturday, by the score of 24.
Both teams were ready to play and the game was oalled at three o'clock. The Ct·ete center secured the ball and threw it to the second forward, who succeeded in getting it to the first forward. She very easily made a goal. Ball was again put in play at the center and Anna Watt soon threw a goal for Lincoln, following which, Vet·a Barget· made one. Crete fouled, and Mattie Wood worth made the free throw. Emily Trig made the next goal for Lincoln. Crete fouled and Lincoln's first forward again made a free throw. Mossie Kimmel added two more points to Lincoln's score. Crete made another goal, and Anna Watt balanced this with a goal for Lincoln. Crete made a free throw as a result of Lincoln's fouling During the first half several more fouls were mane, Lincoln gaining three more points through this, and Crete one more. Emily Trig made two mot·e goals, Mattie Woodworth one and Mossie Kimmel one. Score at the eud of the first half was 23-13 in favor of the home team. During the first half a six man team was played according to Crete's custom, and a five man team was played in second half, according to Lincoln's custom.
The second half wae< started with renewed vigor, and the two games played quite well together. Ct·ete made a goal, after which they fouled. Miss Wood worth again proved her ability by making the free throw. Lincoln fonleu and Crete made the free throw. JuRt before Lincoln called for time out, Mattie Wood worth made a field goaL Vera Barger made another goal and then a free throw. Anna Watt then made a splendid field goaL Lincoln's first forward missed the free throw the first time, which was afforded by Crete's fouling, but made it the second time. Crete made anothet· goal. Two double fouls were made, which helped neither side. Lincoln made two more free throws, and Crete one. Mossie Kimmel threw the last goal for Lincoln. Final score 34-24.
Crete had a good team. The guards, particularly, played a quick, snappy game The center and forwards were quite in evidence. Crete was at a disadvantage in playing on a strange field aud using a different style of a screen, and last in being a new team. They

Tbe Lincoln gir i iS, on the other hand, p layed a sp l endid game. The team wo r k, as a resu l t of good coaching and pntctice, \\aR remarkable. Anna W:ttt p l:1.yed with ::t spra i ned ankle, and in spite of th i s p l::tyecl a game worthy of p raise. Mabel llunt guarcleu one of the "tall" gil"ls and kept pace wit h her. eva Barge r , the center, who played tbe other "tall" gi rl , put up a fast game ::tnd proved herself one of the best players the ll igh Subool h::ts bad for some time. Moss ie K i mmel played a quick game and seemed to a l wayl:l be iu the right p lace at the right time. Mat · tie Wood worth, b esides fielc'l goa ls, proved her skill by the numbe t· of free throws she made. Emily Trigg, who played in the fi r st balf, was very efficient and is one of the best goa l throwers.
After the game a 1·eeeption was g i ve u to t h e C re te girls ::tt the hotne of An ua Watt A very friendly feeling p r evailed and the Linco l n girls look fo r wa rd wit h p leasLu e to the game they expect to play at C r ete next Saturday.

'Ve will let X equal Mary 's age now then tive-sixth X equals Ma r ys age when she was as old as she is now. Whe n th e lamb was one third as o l.d as Mary is now it one thii·d of X yea r s.

Freshmen when you begin the study of mathematics make your marks for the fi r st semester come up to a, if not better. If you do that the path to mathmatical k now l edge will be proverbialy broad and easy. If on the other hand you can only register a D , you will probab l y come to school at eight o'clock instead of nine and will mo r e than likely stay until four. At the sta r t you must roll up your sleeves, grasp a lead pencil and compass in one hand, a st r aight edge in the other, !ooeen the fetters of you t· imagination and .dig in. Never turn around to see if anyone else is coming, but keep your eyes st r aight to the ft·ont, and work the imagination ove r-t ime if necessary.

Although registration is vast, yet something might be said in regard to the study of classics in our High School. At the beginning of this semester a class in Greek could not b e orgauized as thenJ were not enough studeuts r egistered for it. It is generally about the in Latin, the claRses are usually small, and o11ly a emall per cent of the pupils registe1· fot· it after takiug it for two years, the required amount of study iu this subj e ct.
Well, you might ask why should we study Latin and Greek? This is a question which has been raised time and time agai 11, discuss ed IJrO and con and argued fully, y e t th e classics still remain in ou1· High Schools and Colleges. Before discussing this que11tiou It-t us d1•-
tenniue what the IJUrpose of an education
We come into the world with uo knowledge, th e refore we must go to work to understand both ourse l ves and our surroundiugs. On this couclitiou cle!Jeuds th e wiuning of succe:ls aud hapvinet>s .
We all rea l ize the fact that there are two things necessary tu become educatl"d, in this seuse of the word; trainiug every cava.city to its highest euergy, and th e eommuuicatiou ol' IUOSL valuable kuowledge. Or, iu a word, th e two processes, disciJ.diue, aud inform a tion.
The total result of these two is eulture. Th eo latter iufor111atiou, is the con1muuicatiou of kuow ledge. Lauguage is the sim vie t, easiest and oue universal tustrumeut for tbiR iuterchange. What e ver w e thiuk is thought, aud the expressiou of thought is laugua.ge, Ou ly at> lauguage and thougbt coineide, ean kuuwledge itself be eommuuieated. Now as we have these two purposell i11 vol ved iu educatiou , let us bear them iu wind, while we cousidet· the value of the classics. The tirst objectio11 comes fr o m thos e who are imbued with th e money makiug spirit. They say tbat th e y have tiwe to spend uvou th a t which will immediately help them to e a m a liviug. There is tiu1e both in thll High Sehoul aud College for cu i ture aud trade. They learu a t rade at the of havpinesfl derived from culture. Money can buy a great deal for anyoue, but eulture aud happiness ar e beyond priee
We will all readily admit that th e studies iu High Schools and College should be suuh that a persou may learu a t rade, a n d yet uot loRe th e know l edge which euables him to eujoy life to its fullest exteut Notiee the h igh ideal or the G reek \HiLer who says, •'The best fruits of life are an houest he<Lrt , aud labor for th e good of fellow men." If we. take this fur our ideal "work of life,'' we sh a l l lose some of the spirit. of :; e ekiug for 011ly the studtes betweeu the liu es of whieh the dol la l· sign cau be reau. The 11ext objection probab ly com es from those wbo tbiuk lauguage a u ecessary stndy for educatiou, bnt who pre fer modern la11guag e. There is time iu school life for both, but it' there must be choiee, the Latiu aDd to be preferred for 111auy reasous, ou ly a few of which we will be able to vru; e 11t. !'h e

GIRLS' ATHLETIC CARNIVAL AUDITORIUM,
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5
THE CARNNAL OF
The fourth girls' athletic carnival will take place next Friday evening at the city auditorium on 13th and M streets.
There will be many attractions presented, the most important of these being the basket ball game between Topeka, J(as., and Lincoln. This, one of the best games of the year, should draw a large crowd: Topeka has games scheduled with the Ira kell Indian girls and many other o-ood teams of Kansas. They play practically the same style of a game as Lincoln. The Kansas girls will come here Thursday or Friday and return on Saturday.
Anyone wishinrr to see a good game of basket ball should see this one. '
The real object of the carnival is to show outsiders what the gymnasium is accomplishing. In order to show this there will be an exhibition of the gymnasium clas work, including the indian club and dumbbell drills.
There will probably be the usual amount of interest in the relay races. Different girls are now practicing so that each class may be well represented.
Carnivals preceding this one of 1904 have been a success from every standpoint and this one must be no exception to the rule. Every
student s h ou ld feel and ex hibit an interest in this approaching event. The girls s upp orted football last fall and h ave and will support the boys' carniva ls, so the boys as well as the girls should be selling tickets.
The expenses of this carnival will be mor e than usual on account of bring·ing Topeka to Lincoln. Thi game, however, sh ou ld be a great enough attraction to more than balance the extra expense.
Gymnasium girls of this and la st year hav e given this carnival their undivided effort for the past month so a to make the carn ival worth your time and m o ney.
The different classes s h ou ld sit together and support the girls w h o uph old the honor of the class a well as that of the school.
Freshme n, you are a part of the High School now. You must prove this by selling tickets for a l:l igh School interest.
Sophomores, li ve up to yo ur reputation gained during the art exhibit contest.
Juniors , again s h ow your old-time loyalty to the L. H. S.
Seniors, this is your la st girls' carnival and you should use your last ticket-selling opportunity to a good advantage. -M.K.

THE GIRLS' CARNIVAL
The carnival of nineteen-four Is coming Friday eve, o come and have your share of fun And stay until you leave.
T h e Lincoln girl will play that night Topeka basket ball ; T h e game will be the best this year, So come ye, one and all.
The relay races, Oh, what fun, For someone's sure to win, And megaphones will be there, sure, To holler is no sin.
Now, don't forget. I'll ee you there 'vVith all your colors on, And get your ticket right away Or they will all be gone.
The Lincoln girls, the best you'll find, o give a hearty cheer.
Topeka girls may think they play, l lut surely not this year.

Although it cau ed an interruption in our debate, nevertheless we were very much pleased to hear once more the Phlogistons give their yell as they started for home. We hope that we will still continue to have our riva l, for it is as Dr. \,Y olfe has often said that t hi s school is large enough to upport at least two boys' debating societies.
The next meeting of our society will be Saturday, February 6, on account of the girls' carnival, to which we hope to see every loyal Ciceronian.

Did you pass in --? This has been said by a great many students this week.
J u t because it's Leap Year is no reason why the boys should be so modest.
CI ERON IANS
The Ciceronians held their regular meeting Friday. Parliamentary drill was taken up first, everybody taking part and all having an enjoyable time during the drill. Next in order after the drill was the debate. Byron Worrall and Mr. Aylsworth upheld the affirmative, while Geo. l\leier and Ben Ke s the negative. By the aid of the critic, w h o has taken debating, the unexperienced deba t e r s are becoming acquainted with the princip les of debating. When the debate wa opened to the house we were glad to hear our visitors express their opinion upon the question. We always like to hear from the visitors and extend a continual invitation to
At the regular meeting of the class in room 26, Friday, January 22, we tried to elect officers. This was not done because when the votes were counted it wa found that none of the candidates hac! a majority. Anot h er election will have to be held soon as the present officers' terms expire February S· Iext class meeting will be held next Friday in room 26.
The Freshman boys had a meeting Monday evening to try to arrange for goi ng back to chapel. t this writing it bas not been learned what was done.
The Freshmen who came to the High School last Monday are not members of the "class of 1907." They should form an organization of their own. They are members of the class of "rgo8," which will be formed later.

The exams. are gone, but alas ! some of our hopes have also vanished . Some have failed and others have succeeded
But what is the reason for our failing? Is it because we had a task too great for us m attempting to do the required amount of work in som e course . we have been engaged in? Or, on the other hand, is it because we did not attempt to do our duty each day , except to get through a recitation?
In the first place, th e re's no study in the High School which a student can not master. "Where there's a will there ' s a way" has often been quoted and it applies here as well as any other place. Wh en we get to work and ST U DY) in the lit e ral sense of the word, we will not only hav e accomplished a great deal by ha:ving mastered some certain subj ect , but we will have co mpleted no mean task in conqu e rino- o ur se lves , and doing, with vig or , what eve r w e start to · cl o, although man y apparent obstacles may stan I in the
way. When we show this perseverance throughout the semester, then when the alloted time has expired, and we see our classmates advancing on and on, gradually climbing the ladd er to success, we not have to ask ourselves the question, VVhy have I failed?
But, many times, we make a bad beginning and then do not try to make up what we have lost, and , at last, fail. That is, we may , at the beginning of the semester, shirk our work somewhat, thinking it does not matter much whether we get the first few lessons or not ; then we get behind in our lessons and keep putting off the extra work of making it up, and thus it goes from bad to worse, until at the end of the semester we have utterly failed.
Many times also we are looking for the so-called "snaps" in the High School. Then if we think we get one when it comes time to study that particular lesson we think it ' s easy and we can just as well put it off until the •last minute,- and get it quickly. But the last minute never comes until class time, and then where is our lesson? We should never aim to take a "snap." we get out of the High School nothing will be a "snap," it doesn't make any difference what line of work we take up. We hav e got to earn what we get, and how better can we prepare ourselv es for this than by earnest, conscientious work in our studies in the High School? There are no courses in the High School that are "snaps," however, if we prepare our lessons in those studies as they shou ld be prepared. But of course some studies are easier than others, and these are the so-called " snaps." If we take as many of these as possible then how much harder it will be for us after we get out of school. Our preparation will amount to very little, and we fall into the habit of putting things off or doing them carelessly, and as a result we never attain success in any line because we can not control ourselves.
We do not want to look at this in a pessimistic way, but we do not either want to consider it in a light and frivolous manner;
THE ADVOCATE:
but think before we act. Let us, then, start in the new semester aright, not spending all our time, to be sure, in merely "grinding" at lessons, but sufficiently enough time to know that we are doing justice to our teachers ourselves, and that we will not have to look back upon even PART of this semester's work as a failure.
All "copy" MUST be handed in by Monday noon in order to be in the issue of that week. If not handed in by Monday noon it will have to wait until the following week for publication.
Contributions are solicited from anyone.
· Make the Advocate YOUR paper and support it as a loyal High School student should.
In handing in "copy" please write on ONE SIDE of the paper only, as that is the way it must go to the printer. If material is handed in written on both sides of the paper it necessitates us to do a great deal of work in rewriting one page of it, and then mistakes are frequently made. Everyone is respectfully requested to bear the above facts in mind, and act accordin o-ly.
A BASKET BALL GAME IN CRETE
One morning in chapel
The announcement was made That a basket ball game
At Crete would be played. So the girls of the first team Made ready for this, And decided that they This game would not miss. Perhaps you remember( I hope that you do) ; The game before played
Which so frightened you.
On Saturday morning
At ten forty-five \lV e came to the depot
All well and alive.
And in this jolly crowd,
Though I'm sorry to say, Only four loyal youths Were ready to gae. We boarded the train
And marched single file Into our private 'car, Which was furnished in style.
As the honored train started
Kind Miss Anna Watt
Tried to call our attention
To each tiny clot. vV e noticed a place
Where they dug out brick-stuff,
But Miss Anna said, "That's only a bluff."
We tried passing the ball, But with every train puff
Anna Watt would exclaim, You'll not see enough.
So the basket ball Was laid by to rest, And then to be quiet
• we all did our best.
Save Vera and Mabel, Who sat all alone, And, but for their noise, We'd not have been known.
Miss Spurk and Miss Cleveland Who sat side by side Were so entranced with scenery They seemed dignified.
The four boys in the crowd
Every once in a while Gave an exclamation Or breathed forth a smile. We were welcomed in Crete
With very much pride, And before we ate dinner
We had a long .ride.
In place of a hack
They had kind of . a . buss, So on the back of each seat
They placed one of us.
With banners raised- high ·
And our colors so gay, With song and yells
We soon made our way.
Our dinner of course · Was something quite great, And to our surprise
Quite a little we ate
But when it was over ·· We found to our fate

Then after it ate When all was made ready
We went to the hall, And waited impatient
For the game-basket ball. When we gave our ye ll s
And then tried a son g They were so filled with anger
That the band went right on. The game was exciting, And when it was done We were taken to the train
And soon we were gone. When we came back to Lincoln, And were asked if we won, Emily sa id sh e would tell them
And they' cl ee h ow 'twas clone. And ·when off the train,
And all had been seen, We answered questions,-Did we?

CRETE VS. LINCOLN
Althoug h Crete had e ig ht een points to Linco ln 's t hirt een at t h e end of the game played at Crete January 23, the Lincoln g irls do not fee l defeated. A game equal to t his one in ro u ghness and fou ls has not been played for some time.
At 2 AO Lincoln's captain won t h e toss and the game wa soon in progress. A lm ost the first thing in the game was a foul on Crete. This did not benefit Lincoln in the least because it was almost impossib le to make the free throw, the goals being so shak y. For twenty minutes the ball was back a n d forth over the field and the only thing which broke the si lence was "foul on Crete " When this grew tire ome Crete's referee called double foul ' a nd he even tried to ca ll interference over the line a foul. Mattie \ i\1 oodwort h ' threw two field goal and one free throw and Vera Ba r ger one field goal during the first half. Lincoln was given one point because of Crete's fouling while Lincoln was trying for goa l. Lola Wr ig ht of Crete s u cceeded in makino- all of Crete' fou ls and Miss Ireland and Miss We ll s threw four field goa ls and were given one point because Lincoln fouled whi le C r ete was trying for goa l. This left t h e score 8-9 in favor of Crete. The g uardin g of Lincoln was excellent, the guard , An n a \i\Tatt and l\Iabel Hunt, playing a hard game.
The econd half was on ly a r epetition of t h e first, fouls being the principal feat ur e. The ball wa knocked away from Massie Kimmel three times while trying for goal. The ca ll-

A lt ogeth er · it was a most un sati facto r y ga m e and it is h oped that Lincoln w ill not h ave to play s u c h a t ea m as this one again.
The C r ete ga m e at was fairly good a nd Lincoln defeated them 35-24, but at C r ete where the c r owd c h eered a f o ul o n the part of their ow n team a nd also ch ee r ed the ca lling of a foul by their r efe r ee who seem d d etermined to ca ll as many f o ul o n Lincoln a were ca ll ed on C r ete, th ey p'layecl footba ll rather than ba s k e t bal l.

ANO THER FACT
Now is the time for every member of the Fligh School to come to the front and uphold the tancl'ard of the school. T h e coming of Topeka next Friday to play basket ball at the carnival is one of the mo t important events of the year. It stand in the ame category of events as the coming of Des · l\I o ines to play football and i equa ll y a important as the coming of that chool in a few • months to hold a field meet. If anything it is more important as this is the first time the girls have tried to bring a team h ere of t h e standing of Topeka and their fi r st attempt to show their skill against a first class team. So for the sake of encouraging t h e girls in their effort to place the High School banner high in the athletic field every member of the school
should be at the carnival Friday night. And certainly no one can say that the girls do not deserve this support, for it h as not been in vain t h at t h e boys h ave appealed to t h em to come out and ·support them in t h eir efforts. The boys h ave often stated that t h e pers istent rooting of the girls has p layed no small part in the winning of victories which the High School is o proud. And take them f r om the grandstand and bleac h ers ne;x:t April when Des Moines come for or from ·the aud itorium when t h e boys h old their carniva l, and we can hard ly imagine a mp.re , dolef ul sig h t. Certain ly t h e girls have ' earned t h e rig h t to ca ll upon every loya l boy i'n the sc h ool to come out next Fr iday n ight and cheer t h em · on to victory in their game with Topeka. It is the only time in the yeat thaf tfi;e gitls ask for retu,rn favor fqr the oft demftnded favors from them. ·
Boys, lend your support! ..

IN T ERSCHOLASTIC DEBATE.
ON SAMPLE SHOES. THIS LINE CONTAINS FIRST-CLASS GOODS.
Perkins & Sheldon Co.
The annual Interscholastic Debate is near at hand . This is a high school event and every high school student should support it.
. It is of the opinion of a great many of the debaters that since the great victory of the girls ' carnival the school will be more willing to help the debaters win the debate.
Next Friday evening is the great event and it is hoped that every high school student will be out to it. The High School orchestra will play. Come and hear it; that alone is worth the admission, which is only I 5 cents.
The debaters know that there is a large sum of money to be raised and fear that it will not be raised. We know that the school does not take the interest in debates as in athletics, but we hope the school does not think the debaters do not work for the interest of athletics.
vVe realize that there are other interests being looked forward to, but the debaters will not feel like supporting these interests as they would if they were well supported in their debates . The debaters think that it is not right for them to support other events and then not be supported. To show what the debaters do for athletics let us take the Ciceronians. If every Ciceronian should stay away from the boys' carnival, a coming event, it would mean $6 less than if they would go. Take the average of each society being $6 it would mean altogether $I8. ,
However, by this we do not want the school . to think that by this we mean that we are not supported, but we do mean we are not supported properly. We do not charge as much to hear a debate as is charged at many other events and for that reason we think that the school should support this interest as they do other events.
Next Friday is the debate in which eight schools will take part. A good debate is an-
ticipated on an up-to-date question. Come and get information on the question and be up to date. A. M.

At the present time we are not sure whether we have any class officers or not. It is hoped that this matter will be sett led at the next meeting.
Class meeting will be held as usaal in room 26 next Friday. v.,re hope to see you there, Mr. Freshman.

Every member of the L. H. S. should he praised for their unc eas ing diligence and perseverance in helping make this o ne of the best school affairs of the yea r.
The High School o rch est ra showed the mus ica l talent of the school last Friday evening. Their part of the program was well rendered, it being their first appearance in public. There were many complimentary remarks mad e concerning the kind of music they furnish ed and in the remarkable way they played it for being amateurs at the work. They added very mat erially to the success of the evening.
The school has again exhibited its old characteristic, namely, to do the thing it attempts to do, and carry it out to a complete success. The same patriotism and enthusiasm for the interests of the old L. H. S. that we used to see former days, the same loya lt y that some
people thought was lying dormant in us has apparently been renewed with overwhelming force and vigor, as marked by this last event.
The same unanimit y, the same patriotism, the same indefatigabl e, indefeasible, enthusiastic featur es which are so characteristic o£ our High School still remain and always ·will remain , although some individuals think they are lacking at tim es, as long as such occasions as these come in our annual High School curriculum of events.
The Intersch olastic Debate will be held in the High School auditorium next Friday evening
The qu es tion for debate is as follows: ··Re·· solved that it i bette r for all interests t hat the United States alone control any isthmian canal than that the United States should share such control with any other power of pcwe rs. "
Everyone is perhaps familiar with some phase of thi question, as it is up for discu ssion before the American people to-clay. If you wish to be well informed on this important subject, you should come out to the debate next Friday. Every phase o'f the questi o n will be discussed pro and con, and from these arguments the audience can get an impartial view of the fact and principles involv ed in this great question, which stands before Con ·· gress to-day as one of the mor e serious prob·· !ems to settle in a satisfactory way.
Quite enough has been said on the goo<.! of debating in high schools, on the beneficial results attained through logical thinking and speaking, and on the uplifting of the educational standard in the school. Enough has also been aid about the benefits which the audience derive from hearing such a d ebate, espec ially when everal high schools are scheduled to take part.
The small amount of tih1e and mone y spent for this will be nothing compard t o the amount of culture derived, so let each one of · us tum out with the same high schnol :; pirit and patriotism as was exhibited in th e girls' carnival and make this another achievement for the school, both victorious and successful.
The Girls' Athletic Association deserve great commendation on the magnificent display they made in their annual carnival held in the auditorium last Friday. It was a success from beginning .to end, and we are able to say, without a doubt, that no other high schoo l could have presented more or better athletic features in a girls' carnival than were displayed last Friday evening.
The teachers who assisted the girls in their efforts deserve an unlimited amount of credit for the invaluable work which they rendered, taking a great deal of time and trouble to make the affair the success that it was.
BROWNING NOTES .
During the last week we have pledged the following girls: Frances hine, Kate Field, Elsie Grainger, Elsie Ackerman, Ruth Munger, Grace Salisbury, Frances MeN ab, Helen Davis, Marie! Jones, Esther ·warner, Lora Smith, Nettie Holcomb, Helen Hammond, Helen teiner, Babbette \!Veil. The initiation will probably be held in a few weeks. The new pins have come at last and can be gotten at Friday's.
GIRLS' ATHLETICS.
The fourth annual girls' ·athletic carnival of Friday evening was successful in every particular. It was witnessed by a crowd of between two and three thousand. Enthusiasm ran high among the classes and the school in , general.
One of the most unique and interesting features of the evening was the "Josiah Allen" circus parade. Among the animals in the parade were a camel, giraffe, two elephat)ts, and a rooster. Each one had its special tricks and exhibited them to the audience This pa. rade was a repetition of the one given a few weeks ago at the girls' gymnasium.
Dumb-bell drills when well clone are always · interesting and this one was no exception. • The second year class gave this dri ll. The systematic and regular work seemed to be : appreciated by the crowd.
The first year class followed this with a wand drill, which was the best in its line and
caused due admiration. This preceded the principal event of the evening.
BASKET BALL SUPPER.
When the Topeka girls decided to stay in our city a whole clay the two teams and some of their friends started out to see the sights. We first visited the High School, especially the gymnasium, of which the girls are so proud, and after lunch the many interests afforded by the State University. After a pleasant car ride out to College View, pointing out the many places of interest, including Bryan's farm and Dr. Wolfe's home at L inco ln Norma l, the two teams, includ ing Miss Schley and Mr. Eldon Tice of Topeka, took supper together at the home of our captain, Miss Anna vVatt. Miss Spurck and Mrs. V'latt, assisted by Miss Winetta Watt, served an elaborate bask t ball conundrum supper.

THE BASKET BALL GAME.
Friday evening the Topeka High School girls lined up against the Lincoln High School girls for a basket ball game. The ball was put in play and by good team work it was carried to Lincoln 's first forward, who made the first goal of the evening. All the playing was rapid, but Lincoln had the better of Topeka in this respect. During the first half Lincoln made twelve points and Topeka six. Anna Watt threw two field goals and Mattie \iVooclworth threw the others. For Topeka, Misses Skinner,· Tuttle, and MeN eal threw the goals. The Topeka girls seemed to realize in the begitming of the second half that the score was 12-6 against them, and started to play with renewed vigor. For a few minutes they played with Lincoln and it was when the Topeka girls were playing good ball when Lincoln started to play thejr best. Never before has such team work been seen. Back and forth across the field until a goal was For a while Lincoln made goals continuously, till the final score was 28-12 m favor of the home team.
was at a slight eli advantage in playmg on a much larger field than accustomed to, but both teams were strangers to the floor. The visiting team was a good one and no nicer game has been seen in Lincoln probably this season. The game was remarkably clean of fouls, only six being made, three by each side. The referee, from Topeka, was strictly impartial and everyone was well satisfied with him. The Topeka girls were pleased with their trip and said: "We feel that Lincoln has the better team ," while Lincoln, on the other hand, said: "It is the best and nicest team we have played · this year." It is hoped that the Lincoln girls will be able
to make a trip in Kansas· some time soon, including Topeka, Haskell Indians, and the Kansas university. The line-up was as follows :
Lincoln.
V c:ra Barger center
Topeka .
Louise Me eal
Mattie Woodworth, Vivian Tuttle
Mossie Kimmel ... forwards ... Mabel Skinner
Anna Watt (C.) Maud Grimes Mabel ·Hunt. . ...... guards ...... Lulu Healy
Referee-Eldon Tice of Kansas.
Umpire-Mr. Coats of Lincoln.
Following the game the second year class appeared in marching calisthenics or fancy steps. This was very pretty and the practice required to do this right was quite evident.
The Indian club drill always attracts attention, particularly if well done. The third year class gave the club drill at the carnival this year.
Relay races are always the most exciting thing in the carnival. The Freshmen and Sophomores ran first, the latter being the victors, although the Freshmen seemed to be the fastest on the floor , but in one of the races they were hindered by the falling of an 'os manner. The Juniors and Seniors ran next and the Seniors won. Then came the final race, in which the Soph. victored, and received a pair of go ld candle sticks, presented by C. A. Tucker.
Altoget h er the carnival was a complete success and it is hoped that the boys' carnival which will soon take place will be as successful as was this.

tant high school debat e to be held this year as the winner in this debate is the champion high school of the state. Eight of the largest high schools in the state will be represented as follows: Omaha, Nebraska City, South Omaha, Beatrice, Crete, York, Ord, and Lincoln. As Lincoln won first place last year in the interscholastic all the schools are coming well prepared with the expectation of crushing Lincoln. The question is, "Resolved, that it is best for all interests that the United States alone should control any isthmian canal than that the United States should share that control with any other nation ." The question was chosen by a committee consisting of Chancellor Andrews, State Inspector of Schools J. M. Crabtree, and Supt. Fowler. If the High School students do not support this debate it will be a lasting disgrace to Lincoln and it will be reported over the state that the students of the L incoln High School do not take part in intellectual activity and are inhospitable to their guests. Omaha especially expects to defeat Lincoln as Omaha people ay "Lincoln can play football, but she can't debate; wa it till you hear Oma h a in the interscholastic." This debate will represent months of preparation and it is · thought that it will be a hot conte t. The price of adri1ision is rs cents, 30 cents for two and a pleasant walk home.

THE INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATE.
This debate, in which eight of the principal high schoo ls of Nebraska will be represented, wi ll take place in the Lincoln High School auditorium Friday evening, February 12.
Everyone in the school who has the least »park of enthusiasm for high schoo ls interests s h ou ld be out and hear it. whether you lik e debating or not, this debate decides the state championship, and, as Lincoln High School students, all of the pupils of the High School • should come out. The admittance will be I 5 cents and all can afford to come and none to miss this debate.
Besides, the question wi ll be s upp orted by such competent speakers that anyone who comes to this debate will become interested in spite of himself.
The question reads: "Resolved, that it is better for all interests that the United States alone shou ld contro l any isthmian canal than that it should share such control with any foreign power or powers."

MATHEMATICAL JOTTINGS.
There has only been one thing of unust;al mterest happening this last week in this c! epartment. That was an announcement made by the head of the department of mathematics that a new logarithmic table had been invented, and would · soon be ready for publication. Who the inventor of the new system is the head of the department did not say, but all students of mathematics named the author as soon as the y heard the announcement.
There is one and only one person who lately has been making investigations along that line. That his efforts would be crowned .with success was conceded by everybody that knew him A lth ough the head of the department did not speak favorably of the new syst em, it has some good points about it. · The principal one being the method of division, doing away with the colog a lt ogether. As yet .none of the members of the present corps of mstructors or members of the class who are conducting investigation in the field of
logarithms have adopted the system. They do not believe in being the first to adop t something new or the la st to discard the old.
There are fifteen stones in a row, each stone three feet from its neighbor. How far will a boy have to walk to carry those stones to the head of the row? He can carry on ly one stone at a time. [Taken from Long's work on mathematics].
Two boys kick a football at the same time. One kicks it at an angle of forty-five degrees from the other. The first boy kicks it with a force of seventy-five pounds and the otfier with a force of fifty pounds. Find how far the ball will go and the direction. [Taken from E. J.

At the last election in the principality known as the class of '07 the unanimous ch oice of the assembly for president fell with a resounding whack upon one Archie Dinsmore. Did he accept this great honor? No! He preferred to remain unspotted by the contaminations of political life. To be able to look all men in the face and say, "I have bamboozled none of them." He would rather milk the cow on a frosty morning than lead such a life. Was not this the spirit of a martyr? Yea verily.
A Senior was seen recently with a card under his coat going stealthily tlirough the alleys and dodging arotmd buildings trying to keep out of everybody's sight. A Junior, seeing his actions, followed, and tried to sec what was on the card.

He has been trying ever since to find out what's going to happen on "March II."

'Twas a lovely night in June, When all nature seemed in tune, And the air was gently ladened With the scent of blooming flowers;
And the moon found many jewels On the shrubs and leafy bowers.
'Twas on such a night as this T hat a warrior, filled with bliss
Had asked a gentle maid
To be his queen
In his heart to be enthroned Forever there to reign supreme.
'Twas on uch a night as this That the maiden, gentle miss, Released her hand, And strove to hide her love
And spake these words
Like a message from above:
"l\1y Cavalier so bold Who repeats t h e story old, If you love me
As you really say you do , Pray li ten till I'm thro'
While I speak these word to you:
"W h en a man would woo a maid, From home and friendships staid, And take her far
From those she holds most clear, He must count the heavy cost, And make up what is lost.
"Ile must shield her hour by hour , As he would a tender flower And let the sunshine of his nature Pour upon her ceaselessly If he would get the wondrbus fragrance That her soul sends out so free."
The knight's heart gave a bound For he knew his joy was found
And he pressed the maiden
To his beating breast, "If that is all you fear I will pass, unscathed, the test."

W. K., ' os
Our school of late has evinced a spirit which is not at all in harmony with our ideas of school government. An action has occurred which, although it may not s ee m serious, nevertheless affects the reputation and standard qf the principles of our school government.
What school, having a standard of self-government, such as we seem to think we have ,
would allow anyone to create such a disturbance as was created at the Interscholastic Debate? What self- respecting school wo ul d allow such a chi ldish trick to pass unnoticed?
Any school having self-government would take all such matters into consideration at once, find the guilty culprit, punish him accordingly , and put an end to all such despicable actions in a high school.
What is the attitude of our High School in regard to this matter?
Can we sit still and look on in silence whep one of our unworthy members, or perhaps two, h as lowered our standard of self-respect?
Any person who , while an Interscholastic Debate is in progress, will maliciously drag a tin can down the stairs , thus making a deafening noise which would confuse and disconcert the already overstrained debaters, especia ll y the one who was speaking, is not fit to be a member of any high school. That person is onl y greatly out o f place when in a schoo l where members have at least enough self-respect to show proper courtesy to visitors, if not any patriotism for the honor of their school.
But the m embers of the L. H. S . ar e patriotic, ar e loyal and ar e self- respecting students It is only occasionally that a " black sheep" gets in among us, but when he does, then we ought to take care of him or put him from our midst. Herein lies the great fau lt of our school. We do not approve of such actions. but we never show to outsiders that we don't , by taking some action in stopping the affair .
Hasn't Blair an unquestionable r ight to declare it was done purposely? The delegate . from Blair was speaking at the time the noise occurred, and Lincoln won second place while B lair won third. Could not B lair have said that the confusion , caused by the noise, and the restlessness and inattention of the aud ience stirred up at a time when everyt hing was going on smoothly, so disconcerted t h eir representative that he could not do his best, and consequently, in not doing justice to himself and to his school, got third place, where he might otherwise have gotten first place?
Is not our pride for the honor of our school aroused? If it is, why don ' t we show it?
'0/ e have had several disgraceful occurrences in our school in the past school year and have done practically nothing to punish lhc instigators. If we as a school intend to uphold our standard as it has been in the past we will have to put a stop to such childish actions that have taken place .
We are glad to see that the Sophomores discussed the matter in their last tlass meeting and we only wish more of the classes would do the same. It shows that the class contains enthusiastic members, interested in the welfare of the entire school, as well as t-he good of their class.
Let us, then, take some action in regard to lhis matter if we never do another thing. The school has been disgraced in the eyes of all the schools representee! at the Interscholastic Debate and we can only redeem ourselves by some decisive action on our part.
There are numerous ways in which we mirrht act. A mass meeting might be called, or committees might be appointed from the various classes to confer together, or we might do a great deal individually. At any rate, let us ACT, not only for our own self-respect, but also for the honor of our school.
JUNIOR NOTES.
The class held its regular meeting in room 203 after the seventh period The main question for discussion was "Class Unity." The class as a whole debated the question very well. Miss Kingsley gave us a very interesting talk upon the subject.
The play committee is hard at work and they think they will have a play soon.
The pens are still a question to be talked about.
A party is soon to be had and an enjoyable time expected.
SOPHOMORE NOTES.
A large number of Sophomores met in room 33 last Friday. Our class meetings are never held very long at a time and people would
have to use very Jiltle time to come to them while the meetings are very beneficial to all who come.
Miss Leota Powell, who had been sick the greater part of last week, came to make h er report regarding the trophy case .
The report was received, but nothing definite was done in the matter It will be decided in a later meeting.
As the Sophomore yell has not been a satisfactory one to the members of the class, it was proposed that steps be taken to select one more satisfactory.
The question of the disturbance at the Interscholastic Debate was taken up and condemned by all present. It is hoped that the guilty ones may be found out and justly punished. The Sophomore class pledges itself to deal with members of its own class if there were any connected with the diso-raceful affair.

En•ered at the postoffice at Lincoln, as secon d class matter, act of Ma.ch 3, 1879.
All reading matter must b< handed in to ADVOCATE office before Noon Mondays.
It was noticed in chapel the other morning that every time Dr. Wolfe would read an announcement, or say anything, a few persons in the back of the auditorium, probably designated better as children, would clap their hands, if they could hide behind some one else so that they wouldn't be seen.
Why do we allow such actions to go on during our chapel exercises?
\Vhy do persons in our Iligh School stoop so low as to carry on such underhanded actions? Is it because they do not approve of somet hin g that has been done in the school, or is it because, not knowino- how to control themselves, they wish to revive the memory of their ch ildh ood days when they didn ' t the distinction between a child and a young man? It is sad to relate that some of them have not found out yet.
If we as High School students appreciated the privileges, the benefits, the innumerable
opportunities for improvement both for ourse lves and for our school in our chapel exercises, we would not tolerate such actions for a moment. We would not allow a few child1'C1t to take up valuable tim e in chapel and cause a genera l disturbance for their own personal gratification, namely, to do something they know is not right.
What if chapel had have been dismissed for about a month on account of that? That was nearly the outcome of it. Then about one thousand and seventy-five high schoo l students would hav e lost a valuable privilege and suffered in consequence thereof for the petty, sma ll actions of about twenty-fivewhat shall we call them-"little boys?" Can we not see why we s hould not allow such · actions to continue?
We often wonder why persons in a Higli School will stoop to a lower plane of lif e, and carry on s uch actions which are not even fit to be seen in the grades . They are, in all probability, persons who do not have any manly qualities in them, and who perhaps never will hav e, unl ess they speedi ly bring about a reformation of their pre e nt character. If they did not approve of something that was clone, why did they not, lik e young men, show their manliness and patriotism for the sc h oo l by goinO" to the principal and discuss the matter over. They would hav e been well satisfied with the result, for their sug' gestions would have gladly been received, and the state of existing conditions would hav e been thoro•1ghly exp lain ed to them. The circumstances would have been brought up and everything sett led satfactori ly to all concerned. How much more strength of character that would have shown-how much more of a 1ib e ral high sc h ool spirit!
Can we realize h ow such actions would look to outsiders? There were several visitors present that · particular morning. Put you r self in their place and imagine the result. It was disgusting, to say the least.
These small actions may not seem to amount to ver y much, but they are the very foundation of our character. If a few in our nu111bers do not have any self- 1'cspect let us
make them realize that as long as they are with us they 1/lllst have respect for our privileges and for the good name of our school. Have we taken any action on the affair of the Interscholastic Debate? If not, why not? Is it your fault? Have you done all you could personally to maintain the h onor of your sc h oo l by trying to discover the guilty persons and see that they receive their just dese rts ? If not, ct•hy not ?
GIRLS A. A.
The university annual basket ball t ournament of la st Friday eve resulted in a victory for t he Sophomores. This reflects credit on the High Scliool team which h ave previously b.een turned out by the High Sc h ool gymnasium for nearly a ll the Sophomores were old L. H. S. stars. The quickest and most sGie ntific players at the tournament were the lincoln girls.
Credit to this year's team was given t hr oug h the victory of the cia s of 1900 because it was practically the Sophomore team which was defeated in the gymnasium a couple of weeks ago. There is n o doubt that the ] Iigh School ha never had a much better team than the one upholding the honor of the sc h oo l this year.
The reputation of the basket ball team continues to m aintain its hi g h stan dard , and added another proof to this fast last Friday afternoon when the A lumna e girls were defeated by a score of 45-22. Not without a good game on the part of the visiting team, however, who arc accu tamed to playing on a much lar ger field and in this point were at a disadvantage. Those who mi sed this game a re just a littl e behind those who saw it and when a team as good as the Alumnae team J1as always been will play o ur first t eam, with no particular advantage to themselves, every loya l high sc ho ol student sh o uld be willing to pay ten cents for an admission ticket eve n if h e can not come. This game, financially, benefitted only our present first team and every cent was clear profit. An effo rt is being made to buy permanent basket hall suits and it seems that this much could be expected of a sc h ool as large as the Lincoln High School. Some
Friday morning another game may be announced in chapel and if the game is not upport ed it will be the last game attempted in the gymnasium this year.
The Alumnae v . L. H. S. game was called at 3 :30. For the first few minutes after the ball was put in play no very definite plays were made. The ball sew-sawed ove r the field until Anna Watt made a goal for Lincoln. This was soon followed by another. The Al umna e team didn't seem to lik e this very well, so Miss Miller made a goal for them. To balance this Vera Berger threw a good field goa l for Lincoln. One of the Lincoln girls fouled while an opponent was trying for goal, so the Alumnae's were given one point. Massie Kimmel then threw a field goal for Lincoln, followed by three more well made goals. A nna vVatt threw four more for Linco ln and Mattie Woodworth two. The goal throwing was one of the remarkable feature of the game. It seemed as though the Lincoln gi rls could not miss a goal. The Alumnae girls made some splendid field goa ls, but two or three times the ball would bounc e ba ck out of the basket. Miss Miller threw three field and two free goa ls in the first haJJ and Mi s Eve r ett threw one field goal, leaving the score 26-u in favor of the present High School team.
The second hal£ was a repetition of the first in good team work and goa l throwing. Miss Pi ll sbury and Miss Everett did some exceptionally fast playing on the field and used their team work to adva ntag e. Miss I immcl and Miss Watt with l\Iiss Barger s u cceeded in doing the excellent Lincoln team work which ha s caused many favorable remarks from basket ball critics. During the second half Lincoln sco red 19 points and the opposing team. II. Miss Woodworth threw three field and one free goal, Miss Barger two field goals, Miss Kimmel three and Miss Watt two field goals. For the Alum n ae Miss Pillsbury made one field goal and Miss Miller the others. Guardi ng was one of the good features of the game. Miss Sc hl esinger played a very quick game and made so m e splend id plays. Mabel Hunt played her usually rrood game.

The girls' first basket ball team, who had scheduled a game with the Haskell Indians of Kansas, has received word that the latter has disbanded and will not be able to give the Lincoln girls a game on their Kansas trip.
Miss Gere: " I'll put this retort in the window and it will be there until some Freshie breaks it." Within a half hour Ed Johnston tried to mop the floor with it, and then sadly and tenderly bore away the remains .

On last Wednesday morning Mr. Huntet made a statement which is worth repeating: "Get something worth going after, and go after it to win." This is a good motto for anybody, and any time.
Dr. Wolfe, in speaking of last Thursday's program for chapel, said: "For our special chapel we will have Supt. Stevens, the orchestra, and Fat Reynolds ." It was probably because of the last mentioned that the chapel was so well attended.
Miss Gere entertained on last Saturday evening at her home in honor of her chemistry students. She was assisted by Miss Ellen Gere arid Miss Tuttle. The forepart of the evening was spent in progressive flinch and panic, and a game new to most of the visitors, called "Up Jinkins." After light refreshments were served the floors were cleared and the remainder of the evening spent in dancing, which was much enjoyed because of the quality of the floors. About fifty ,accepted Miss Gere's kind invitation and thoroughly enjoyed
themselves. The members of the chemistry classes are enthusiastic over Miss Gere's efforts in th eir be half , and cannot say enough in thanks for her kindness.
Mr. Boostrom's speaking of a man 's stomach being of such importance reminds us of one of Shakespeare's sayings: "A man ' s stomach is the god of his physical salvation." This thought is ind eed worthy of that great genius.
" These here schemers think they're pretty smart," said Frank Phillips Friday, " but I fooled 'em. They said a fellow would have to sell ten tickets to get one for nothing, but I fixed 'e m. I just bought ten tickets and nevt;tsaid a word and got my eleventh one for nothing."

Miss Tuttle: "How do you know?"

Have you seen them talking in the hall or on th e stairway? Have you seen him "Lena" up against a locker and smile at her? Does she say good-bye? No, she says, "To-by."
Mr. Munn was seen at the chemistry party up in a corner raving and gnashing his teeth in anguish. A friend asked the trouble , and Ohio repli ed: "The last Uni.

His is a vision of Tntth-dim; hazy; much befogged by Authority, yet somewhat illumined thereby also; now with shadows lifting and again darkening; withal a widening prospect, ever glorious and yet more glorious as detail on detail is penetrated. In the presence of this Vision the Student is ever young; though gray haired and bent, in that eternal Presence truly is his a perpetual youth. He knows no abatement of joy in beholding the b eauties of the Vision, and his last transport of discovery is as happy as a child-time delight.

The Academia should profit by the mistakes of others. We tried a continued story and it is still to be continued.
We do not agree with you when you say a paper is judged by its exchange column. We do say, however, that an exchange column should be found in every paper. A paper sh01,1ld be judged by what it is to the school.
We can not see how a paper jammed full of short stories can keep up the spirit of the school.
If told "to take a back seat" one usually takes affront.

TERMS: Cash in advance, D<l ive red, per year, 25 cents. Single copy 5 cents. By mail, per year, 40 cents. Semester t5 cents. Advertising rates furnished on application to the Advertisi ng Manager.Address all communications and e:rchanges to The Advocate, High School, Lincoln, Nebraska. Entered at the postoffice at Lincoln, as second cfass matter, tm.:ler act of March 3, 1879, All reading matter must bo handed in to ADVOCATE office before Noon Monday s.
The Advocate should be more strongly supported by the L. H. S. than it has been in the past. It ha s been supported by a few individuals, but not by the school in general, consequently making the work much more heavy for the few who do have to bear t h e burdens of the paper. Our local editor, Mr. Bigelow, and our exc hange editor, Mr. Munn, h ave put in valuable time on the paper to help make it what it is. The reporters for the classes and the various organizations in the school have generally been faithful to their duties in handing in their contributions each week to keep the paper up to the standard that it has always h eld . Our business department has done all it could in every way to keep the paper on a paying basis. Our business manager, Mr. Worrall, ha s done eve r yt hing in his power to keep up the financial part of the paper. Mr. Sidney Collins was our advertising- manager la st semester and did excellent
work in o li citing ads. and thereby putting the paper on its feet when we had a debt to pay off at the very start. Mr. Robt. Herpolsh eimer has ably filled the position of advertising manager this semester. Alt hough very busy with other affairs, Mr. Herpolsheimer has done excellent work in soliciting ads. as can be seen by the paper.
Now how can the school support the Advocate as they should? There are numerous small things which might be done by every student, but we haven't space or time to mention them. We would, however; like to suggest the three most important ways in which the main s upp ort of the paper lies.
First, in handing in any contributions for the paper .
Second, in supporting our advertisers.
Third, in soliciting subscriptions for the paper.
One person cannot possibly get all the items of interest about the school every week. Therefore, anyone knowing of anything happening which would be of interest to the school should jot it down on a slip of paper and eit her hand it to some one on the staff or leave it in the Advocate box in the principal's office. Can you not see what a great benefit a small thing like that would be if every student would do it whep we have eleven hundred students in our school? A good short story would come in handy once in a while, as a! o a good poem composed by some member of the student body.
Then what about the advertisers? Look over the Advocate each week and carefully note all our advertisers. Then when you go into any of the stores of these merchants tell the proprietor that you noticed his advertisement in the Advocate and that you wish to trade with him. Show him conclusively that his advertisement pays.
A few of the merchants have intimated that they regard advertising in the Advocate as a matter of charity. But we beg to differ with them. Then let us see why. In the first place the Advocate has a bona fide subscription list of over four hundred. Each subscriber represents a family . Each family will average
at least three readers. Thus it is seen that the Advocate is read each weell by no less than twelve hundred people. Beside, we send out about one hundred papers into various parts of the United States for exchanges and out-of-town subscribers. This gives our advertisers a reputation abroad as well as at home. If this is figured out it will readily be seen that an average of between eighteen hundred and two thousand copies of the Advocate are issued every month. Does it not pay, then, to advertise in the Advocate?
Furthermore, every advertisement in the Advocate is conspicuous. It is observed by every reader. The same sized ad. if placed in the State Joumal, the Star, or in any other of the large papers of the city would never be read ; no one reads an advertisement in of the large papers unless it covers half a page.
We know that advertising in the Advocate pays the merchants. and would request that the students prove it to them by carrying out some of the suggestions offered. We all do believe in reciprocity, in doing the right thing by those merchants who help us, but let us show them that we do by telling them we saw their ad. in the Advocate when we are patronizing them.
What about our subscription list? Is a little over four hundred subscribers enough out of eleven htmdred students? We think you will agree with us when we say decidedly no. We ought to have at least eight hundred subscribers If a student cannot help by handing in some literary contribution he can be patriotic and loyal enough to his school to subscribe for the paper himself at any rate, even if he hasn't enough enthusiasm to get some one else to subscribe. The price of subscription has been very low this year, so it is within · the reach of everyone, only being fifteen cents for the remainder of the year. Surely no one · can complain of the price being too high. The subscribers we get the more advertising we can get because we will be enabled to enlarge the paper in the proportion that it is by the school. Now is the time to hustle subscribers as there is "nothin' doin'"
this week. A banner will be presented to the class getting the most subscribers by Monday, ::\1arch 14. Which class has the most patriotic members? Will not this give some clue to the matter? The class w inning this contest will also have the privilege, if they wish it, of getting out the first issue of the Advocate after the spring vacation. This contest closes Monday, March 14, at 9 a. m. and the result will be announced in chapel at that time. Let us be versatile in our schoo l interests and support the Advocate now, as we have athletics and other affairs in the past.

Ballad-In Indian Metre.
Down the winding Indian trail, Light as a bird on wing, Came a sorrowing Indian Fair as a breath of spring.
Sparkl ing eyes and forest grace, Fair as a dove to behold, Soft as a hare she tripped along Seeking her lover bold.
Faint the curling smoke arose, Curled in a haze from the camp. Keenly list'ning there in the shade he heard her lover's tramp.
'Mong the sighing trees they met And the tall young warrior bold Did the beauteous Indian maid
In his arms riaht softly fold.
Silence reigned a moment there, \Vith the brook's low murmur nig h , Then with note of sadness came An eagle's faraway cry.
Then he whispered words of love, But Wana stood in dismay,
"Why will Wana's lover dreamHer life endangered this day?
"Back in camp my father bold, Mightiest chief of the Plain, Has vowed the brave of most prowess Fair Wana's heart shall gain.
"TI ·c tribes of the Plain are assembled,
SeMEH0W T HEY SEE M T0 DRIVE 1\W1\Y TH1\T TIRED
The strongest and fleetest are there, But you my lover are barred, For you elwell with the tribe of the Bear." Calmly listening Light-foot heard And his tru ty bow he felt, And his strong, lithe muscles hardened As he fixed his buckskin belt. There the pleading maiden stood Bathed in t h e silv'ry moonlight Fondlinrr her wampum trinkets, And ponclerino· her sad plight.
"We'll flee to the faraway Northland, And there we will ever remain.
Just free your heart from this sorrow And depart with me from the Plain."
Wana's sparkling tears answered And thus through the forest vales, Through the sighing, moaning forest They reached the Northern trails. Nettie Thompson, '04.

Rosie : "Yes, all except coal. That goes to the cellar.

CICERONIAN.
The Ciceronians held their regular meeting Saturday and had an unusual interesting meeting. Every member took part in the debate. vVe were especially glad to hear from the visitors who expressed their opinion upon the question.
The members are getting very enthusiastic as shown by the action taken by several before the regular meeting was called. Before the presiding officer came the meeting was called to order by Forrest Tebbetts, acting chairman. Parliamentary drill was taken until VicePresident Whitney came. The meeting was t]1en properly called to order and business taken up.
Before taking up the orders of the day the S.Oc iety considered the challenge made by the Y. M. C. A. debaters and accepted it. The Y M. C. A. team will submit the question and a debate is anticipated in the near future. Next in order was parliamentary drill, which lasted but a short time on account of the appearance of Mr. Hunter, who gave us a very interesting ta lk concerning debating in the high school. He also gave us a little advice which the society appreciates and will take care to follow it hereafter.
Next in order was the debate, which was a hot contest for quite a while. The debate having been finished and the critic having been heard from, the business affairs of the society were taken lip.
The society has come to a definite conclus ion about their annual Ciceronian banquet. This is the most interesting event of the year for the society and it is hoped that every member may be able to be present at the banquet to be at the High School building next Friday evening. Some discussion about chang•ing the society colors then arose, but it was decided to retain the Royal Purple as the color of the society, but to adopt a flower as the 'emblem of th e Ciceronians. After a long and earnest discussion about what flowers to adopt it was decided that in the hereafter the White and Pink Carnations shall represent the Ciceronians. The next thing brought before the members was "When shall we have our pic-
tures taken?" This was settled and the society will hav e their pictures taken Saturday. We hope every member may be able to be there.
The occasion presented itself immediately for the use of the emb lem flower. On account of the sickness of Curtice Collins it was thought proper by the members present to send a bouquet of our newly adopted emblem to Curtice, who is now in the hospital. The society feels the absence of their president and hope that he will be able to be with them Friday, as he thinks he will.
After this the society adjourned and the members departed in all directions, giving their yell as they went.
" Daly Baro Glorianus Unus Ciceronianus."
CLASS OF '06.
The class of 'o6 met in room 33 last Friday . The class had voted to change the class yell, but as no suitable yell was handed to the president th e old yell was kept
In the carniva l the class showed what it · was made of by the .way it acted. Not a Sophomore rushed out when the Junior colors fell, but probably a few would have done so if Ralph Mosley had not helped them to keep their heads.
In regard to the relay race we are proud of our boys for the way they raced over the floor in their haste to win. The boys won the races last year and also the girls won the race this year in their carnival.
The Sophomores as a whole wish to thank Herpo ls h eimer & Co. for the beautiful trophy we won
GIRLS' DEBATING ASSOCIATION.
At the last meeting of the society the question of coeducation was discussed. Dr. Wolfe was present and gave us a very interesting talk on the subject. He said that the Lincoln High Sc h ool would be nowhere without the girls. P lan s were discussed for allowing the Senior girls who are too busy to take active part in the meetings to go on the associate list
Florence Comstock is our new member of whom we are very proud.

COMING HIGH SCHOOL EVENTS.
The football season of our present school year lies in the past and our winter sports c-,re cast aside. Now we must turn our attention to the coming attractions of the spring which will consist of both intellectual and entertainments. The first thing on our program will be th e Senior play The seniors need no introduction to the students of the Lincoln High School, for they have already won a good reputation in amateur theatricals. They will present a good play, one that will be highly appreciated by all. So on Friday evening let us all go to the Senior play and enjoy a fine entertainment, to be poiite to the outgoing class and to show the seniors that there will b e plenty of Hiah School spirit even after they leave us.
Our next attraction will be a comic opera to be given at the Oliver theatre April 4· The chorus will present to us the "Isle of Champagne." Vve all remember what a sue-
cess otir cantata was last year, and they say that this is a great deal better. We cannot afford to miss a performance that is going to refl ec t such great credit on our sc h ool.
Some time in April you' will see some bills f-lying around bearing the words "Junior Play." You will all understand what they mean and that something good is in store for you. The members of this class have never given a play before and therefore have no reputation as actors to back them up, but you all know the Junior class is one of the · most wideawake and influential of the classes in the Lincoln High School. So when the tickets for the Junior play are ready don't · be bashful about bn::ying one or nwre. You will find that your money will have been wisely spent, for the Juniors are going to give the best play yet seen on the High School stage.
When you have added to this list of plea.sure-giving events of the spring the OmahaLincoln debate you will see that the old L. H. S. does not hav e to be ashamed of her intellectual efforts. They show up well beside those of other schools and will bear favorable comparison with our athletic successes .
In an athletic way we shall first be interested in the Missouri Va ll ey Interscholastic Track Meet at Kansas C it y. There will be a considerable number of our stutlents entered for this event and you h ad better make up your mind to go down with them and help them win some g lory . Following the Intersc holastic Track Meet there will be a Track Meet between the L. H. S. East Des Moines High School. We can't afford to miss that. There will also be three or four ball games.
Last of all will be the great social event of our schoo'l year, the Junior-Senior reception, which is one of the most interesting · occasions of the entire year. Then when we have rounded out our year of pleasure and work with the graduat in g exerc i es as a gra nd climax we sha ll feel that the year of 1903-04 in the old L. H. S. has been well spent.

E XC H A N GES.
Owing to a slight mistake our exchange column in last week's paper was mixed with the locals. If you have not noticed it please do so, for there appeared under the head of exchanges a poem which is the work of a Lincoln student and not an exchange.
The exchange column of a paper is only read by a few outside of the schools. The s chool read it only for the jokes copied from other papers. The criticisms and roasts of other papers they do not understand and do not care to read. This material is only read . by the staffs and nothing will make a staff member more disgusted than to read a lot of platitudes. Do not praise-criticise! We would rather read an honest criticism or an unjust one for that matter than all the trash called platitudes that an exchange editor could write in a year's time.
Mrs. Wiggs was a good hearted soul, Whose hands were full of snatches; She mended many a jagged hole
With her famous Cabbage Patches. -Ex.
The following explanation of the movement of a fish worm was handed in a member of the zoology class :
The segments of the worm are compared to a company of oldiers. The movement is then described. The first set of fours take internal to the right. No. r stands fast, and they assemble as they assemble the second set of fours take interna l, and as they assemble the third set take internal and so on.
In kindergarten class.
Teacher: "Now children, I want each one of you to mimic some animal that you have seen."
(After a minute to Johnny, who has remained strangely quiet): "Johnny, what animal are you imitating?"
Johnny : "I am imitating a rooster laying an egg."

riATHEMATICAL JOTTINGS.
Problem-To add and subtract a certain number to a person's age, thus finding out the person' s age and the month they were born in.
(Note.-The questioner or e xaminer only sees the last number.)
Instruct a person to take a pencil and paper and proceed as follows: Put down the number of the month you were born in, multip ly that number by two and add seven to that result. Multip ly by fifty and then add your own age. From this subtract the number of clays in a year and then add one hundred and fifteen. The first digit of the resu lt will be the number of the month you were born in and the remaining digit will be your age T. J. E. , Faculty

THE ADVOCATE
Maude Glover seems to have imbibed the dramatic nature. In reading a simple scene in Lit. she forgot what she was reading and said: "She gave one screech, and stabbed him with a bloody putty knife." The drama sometimes has bad effects.
Barwick tried to bamboozle the innocent public at the play into believing that he was the author of Webster 's Standard Dictionary. Oh, Josephine, my _ J oe!
Why treat your Russel SO?
For if you do h e'll go
Out in the rain, the sleet, the snow
To take you to a Ioc show.
EXCHANGES.
Last week our exchange column presented a rath er ragged appearance, exchanges being sandwiched in between locals and in other places where they should not hav e been.
We are going to change all that. We shall endeavor in the future to have them in one column.
Men, Girls and Dogs
All men are four:
He who is poor ·and honest; h e is unfortunate: help him
He who is poor and dishonest; he is criminal: prosecute him.
He who is rich and dishonest; he is a financier : him.
He who is rich and honest; he is a rarity: court him.
All girls are four:
She who is homely an l good; sh e is sensible: admire her.
She who is h ome ly and bad; she is wretched: avoid h er.
She who is pretty and bad; she is giddy : flirt with her.
She w h o is pretty and good; she is lovable: marry her.
A ll clogs arc four:
He who has no tail but would wag it if he had; he is unhappy; pat him.
He who has no tail and would not wag it if he had; h e is eros : kick him.
He who ha s a tail and will not wag it though he has; he is surly: sell him.
He who has a tail and wags it when he s h ould; he i grateful: buy him.-Radius.
The exchange editor of the Wichita Messenger steals too much space wherein to vent her wrath.--Windmill.
May be she does, but then it adds spice to the paper.
At Ia t the Lincoln High School Advocate bas received a cover. 'N e hope it will keep it, as the appearance of the holiday number was much improved.-Lcver .
Is the appearance all you noticed about that number? Go deeper, Mr. Lever; maybe you will find something else in it.
Teacher-Name two writings of Milton and the time of writing each.
Student-Shortly after Milton's marriage he wrote "Paradise Lost;" short ly after his wife 's death he wrote "P aradise Regained."Badger.
High School Boys-A species so rare that it is impossible to give a definition.
High School Girls-A species impossible to describe, on ac<.>ount of their great variety and numbers.
Sub-Freshmen-The mu se um of antiquity Freshmen-Animals living in artificial heat created by Sophomores.
Sophomores-All-wi e, all dignified, all stucliou , all a gold mine in themselves.
Senors-A scattered people, thought to be a remnant of the ten lost tribes.

THE KANSAS TR I P.
The girls' ba ket ball team has arranged their schedule in Kansas and will leave Lincoln probably Friday night, their first game being with Topeka High School Saturday night, March 26, Lawrence High School Mon-day, 28th, and Kansas City High School Tuesday, 29th, returning home on W ednes-
Topeka was very enthusiastic over our carnival and have arranged an interscholastic basket ball tournament, contests between both the boys' and girls' teams of their school, Kansas City and our team. This carnival is a movement toward the fitting up of a girls' gymnasium so the entire city is interested. Our Lincoln team is sure of a cordial welcome here. The Topeka team has practiced very hard since the game at Linco ln and the visiting team will have to put up a good game in order to win . The Lawrence High School has a very fine team and a good record. Our girls expect a good game and hope to win. ln the Kansas City gan1e the Lincoln girls will play at a disadvantage, using the lines and six-man team. If the girls win this game as well as the other two it will be a climax in basket ball.
The season has been very successful from every standpoint and these three games at Kansa will be looked forward to wit h interest.
In regard to the candy sale of a week ago Tuesday it was almost more than successful. The sum cleared was twenty dollar and this will help very much toward paying for the new basket ball suits.

This Kansas trip is one of the greatest things ever attempted previous to this ti m e and everyone should watch for the outcome of the game , wh ich a ll loya l H ig h Schoo l students hope w ill resu lt in a complete victory for the Lincoln girls.
THE DEB A TE ,
Our old-time riva l, Omaha, will be met next Friday evening at the High School auditorium. This meeting wi ll be in t h e debating field and not the ath letic where so many events have previously taken p lace. Victory for Lincoln in t h e at h letic field seems inevitable and almost so in the debating field, a lthough Omaha carried off first h ono r s at t h e la t e in t erscholastic debate. Lincoln will be well represented at t h e Oma h a-Linco ln debate T h e debaters have very thoroughly studied th e subject and just such names as Whitney, Young, and Miss Hart ley wi ll almost assure success and sh ould assure a c r owd. Everyone should turn out to th is debate. The r e sho ul d not be a boy in the High Schoo l who does not consider it his duty to go and take his mot h er or sister. If a gi rl were to be asked she might go. T h e boys can find t h is out for t h emse lves. Now eve r ybody take this matter in hand and make t h e debate a h owling s u ccess.

During t h e past s ix months the sc h ool ha s been suffe ring from the depredations of some malicious boys. Some time in November these boys scat t ered match h eads over th e floors, thus enda n ger in g the liv es of teacher and scholar s alike. At the time of the intersc h ola stic debate they dragg-ed tin cans clown the stairs ba ck of the stage, thus disturbing the debaters. Last Thursda y they scattered ill-smelling ch em ica ls over the buildings of the sc h ool, discomforting e leve n hundr ed sc h olars and forty teacher
Thursday a ma ss meeting was called by some of the leaders. Nea rl y the en tire sc h ool assembled in the chap e l. Leonard Ba r wick was ch ose n chairman and Ray F l etcher sec r etary. In a few well ch osen words Mr. Barwick exp lain ed the ob j ect of the meeting . Several speec h es were made by different leade r s, some counseling- moderation and some demanding- the immediate exp ul sio n of t h e culprits. Mr. C r onin of the faculty was then
ca ll ed up on, and th e members saw their conf u sed id eas se t forth by a brilliant and skilful o rator.
Mr. Fletc h er then presented the following resolutions, which were adopted unanim o usly: Whereas, In pa t yea r s chemicals hav e been scatte r ed about the halls and rooms of the high sc hool buildings , and, Whereas, Matches were lat e ly scattered over the chap el s tag e, thereby endangering public property and even the lives o f t eac hers and stu d ent s, and,
Whereas, A tin can was maliciously dragged. clown the stage s tairs during the last intersc h o la stic debate, th ereby causing great disturbance of the meeting and bringing disg- rac e up on the Lincoln High in the eye of th e public, and, whereas, The student body has been again insulted by th e scattering of foul-smelling che'micals throughout the buildings , Therefore, b e it res o lved, That we, the students of the Linc oln High School, in mass meeting assembled, do h e reby condemn all suc h actions occ tJrring in or about the Lincoln High School as contrary to the spirit of the sc hoo l, as destructive to self-government, and as harmful to the good name of o ur chool.
Furthermore be it resolved, That we request and eve n demand that any m e mbers of the Lincoln High School known to be connected with any of the above outrages or with any future disgraceful conduct shall be expelled. A lso that a copy of the se proceedings be furnished the daily papers and th e board of e:cl ucati on.

THE SENIOR PLAY.
The Senior Play which was given last Friday night was the most s ucc essf ul and pleasing- eve nt o f the season. It was witnessed b ya larg e and appreciative audience, who showed their approval by many hearty encores and at ot h e r times by intens e silence. Th e people were shown to th eir seats by ten of the most popu lar and best looking girls of the Senior class, who wore white wai st s and clark skirts
THE ADVOCATE
with badges of th e class colors, lavend e r and white, pinned on their left boulder
The systemat ic way in which th e girls u s he r ed, th e way in which the programs were g iven o ut and th e way thin gs were carried on in general was due to th e management of Robert Herpolsheimer.
Music was rend e red b y the High School o r ch estra between act s and during th e act at times. This lent t o the charm of the play .
One of th e cutest features of th e eve nin g was the curtain raiser, A Pair o f Lun a tic s, w hich was g iv en very s ucc essf ull y b y tw o very popular Seniors, Telfer R ey nold s and Lora Stombaugh. M r . R ey n olds as Geo rg e Fie ldin g to ok his part as if an o ld playe r , when it was really his first appearance. Miss Lora Sto mba u g h as Clara Manners executed h er part with a g r eat deal of grace and ease .
The play proper wa s a marvel of ma g nificence The cos tum es of the ladie s w e r e particularly pleasing because of th e ir richn ess and the g rac e wit h which they were worn. The realistic t o uch es such as th e thunder , lightnin g a n d rain were worthy of particular n otice. M iss Keegan's r e ndition of the p oem written by h e r betrothed t o the soft strain s of th e music by the o rchestra caused th e aud ie n ce to li s t en spe llb o und.
M r. Ave r y as Mr. G rayling disp layed hi s rema rkabl e knowledge o f the art s o f a tru e love r adm irabl y. Miss Maud Glover a s Ro sa a lm on was a typ ical " clear little witch with a thousand fa ults ." Her natural grace and coy n ess were onl y height en ed by the skill with which sh e r ender ed her part.
S ig n o r Pescat o r e, sec r etary t o an J talian prince, in eve r y cla y lif e Clifford Bigelow, displayed hi s wonderful gift as a linguist by th e fluency with which h e utt e r ed th e lan g uag e made familiar by th e fruit venders.
The athletic trend of the Benedict family departed from so m ew hat by the appearance of M iller as an A. D . T . who showed hi s ab ilit y to adapt himself to th e circums tanc es by the ease with which h e n ot onl y delivered hi s me ss ag es but by the d exte rit y wit h which he assisted o n e of th e gentler sex in time of need.
O ur foot ball h e r o added new la ur e ls to hi s alr ea d y we ll earned c r own by hi s int e rpr e t ation of the tricky o ld edi t or, Dr. Po ll ock.
The parts of Mr. and Mrs . Turbot were creditably taken by tw o well k n ow n se ni o r s, .Paul Be ll and L ora S t omba ug h . O nl y long and faithful p ra ct ice co ul d ha ve been the ca u se o f the facility with which the more scenes were ca rri ed o ut , fo r Mr. Be ll , lik e all ot h er m o rtal s, wa s completely captivated by the beauty of lVI r s. T ur bot a n d the elega nc e o f h e r costumes.
Mass ie K imm el as the petit e maid displayed h er ver sat ile qualities as well as th e charm and grace of h e r movements.
Tall and s tat ely Mrs. Sa lm o n (My rtl e Keega n ) c harm ed the a udi en ce by the way s h e s h o w ed h ow the 2o th cent ur y woman is in r ea lit y what th e newspaper reporter depicts h e r to be.
Last but not least comes our venerable class pr es id ent , L eo nard Ba r wick, a poet of th e hi g h est type , li fted above the co mm o n leve l of humanit y in hi s desire t o emul a t e hi s c h ose n profession, aid ed by hi s devoted wife's ambition to s h are in the g lo r y which would he hi s.
Much c r ed it is clue to t h e untirin g effo rt s of M iss Ba il ey, a id ed by Miss Tuttle a nd Miss L ong , as well as to Mr. F letc h er and hi s faithful co rp of a s i tants.
The effi cie nt wo rk of those who manipulat ed the s ta ge set tin gs is t o be greatly comm end ed, especiall y of those w h o were n ot m emb e r s of the class of 1904, as Messrs. L ee, K imm e l, Heagy, Hartley and Hedges.
CLASS OF 1907.
The r eg ular meeting of the class was h eld in r oo m 26 last F rida y. A s h o rt program was g iv en which included a d ebate and recitati on s. A committee wa s appointed t o loo k afte r actions in c hap el. A n ot h e r co mmitt ee was appointed to look after our iss u e of th e Advocate, which w ill com e o u t soo n.

Y e , we won the Advocate banner. vVe did not do very much more work than the Sophomores, but we got five· more subscriptions and that meant victory. "A miss is as good as a mile" is an old saying, and it has beer1 proven here. The Sophs beat us (but how) in the relay races. Now we have beaten them in something greater than either race. They beat us in athletics, we beat them in a business affair. This certainly i greater than beating them in athletics. You'll admit that, I know you· wilL
Roma et Carthago.
Oh Rome, you who have held the throne
And sat as mistress of the sea; Have killed thyself by thy own vice
Of more than half a century.
And take it to thyself Oh Rome,"111 fares the land to hastenino: ills a prey,"
And ee how you were such a place;"Where wealth accumulates and men decay."
Oh who, when Greece was rich in all That he lps to make a matc h less art, Who ki ll ed her power, subjected her, To satisfy thy jealous heart?
And who when Carthage with her fleet Bade fair to subjugate thy coast? You fought and yet she conquered thrice, And just one victory you boast.
And yet you out of jealousy
Destroyed and razed her to the earth. 'Twas only then in cruelties
You reigned supreme upon the earth.
Oh Rome, you builded up your power
Upon the coffins of your foes. And yet a dragon like thyself Is praised for what he overthrows. Yet men have sympathized with you
Nearly thirteen centuries and seven. But you deserve a selfish Rome, The curse of earth, revenge of heaven. Forrest Tebbetts, '07.

OPINIONS OF ORATORICAL ORATIONS.
Senior oration are at last being omewhat prepared. The following is the opening sentence of Clifford Bigel o w's th me:
"'The indefatigable 'Aurora Borealis' of Amer ican Republicanism is now circumnavigating as a propitiation for compuncturing the mesepithclium of human progress."
From this opening sentence we infer that l\I r. Philpott is going to h e the unfortunate sp onsor of l\fr. Bigelow's oration.
0. N. Munn's oration begins as · follows:
' "Mr. Pr esi lent, Laclie and Gentlemen: Roll back y o ur heads and protrude and slant forward your ears while I now a cend the mountain peaks of eloquence to snatch down about twenty minutes of platform exhibition or you."
Sinc e the enior Play we all realize th e fact that Mr. l\funn's oration will be a ' 'howling success" if he brings in ''about twenty minutes of platform exhibition."
The following paragraph has been taken from the oration of Walker Lewis:
"Starvation will not pinch this nation. How can such a lack of life's necessities fall up on us when >Ne hav e the attract ions of the ' gentle sex' to inspire us to hop clods? No! fe ll ow citize n s, as long as there are uch opportunities for the American youth the larder will continue to grow with a fulsomeness."
There is no doubt but that Mr. Lewis' o ration is going to be very "sporty" in sty le. He is not quite sure yet but that he will write it in blank verse. At any rate that is the manner in which he is determined to deliver it.
Miss Gere: "How is charcoal used in the commercial world?"
Ray · Rainbolt: "It's used in making candy."
First Senior: "We can't have a party now because o many of our class are 'celebrating' Lent."
Teacher: "What is a boomerang?"
Freshie: "I think it's an 'off-s h oot' of the Orangotang family."
Some one in chap el , before the Omaha del ate, spoke about Lincoln being ' the "P ineears" of debating. This may exp lain why some of us are suc h "sticks" on the platform.
Before the vacation a photograph of the griJI room was taken during meal time. Of course there was lots of noise and confusion. Finally Barwick said: "Be sti ll! The noise won't look good in the picture."
Eva Pollock, '03, now of Denver, . Colo ., visited old classmates and friends before vacation.
A young lady recently intended going to \Vesterfield's for dinner. Speaking to a friend she said: "I guess I'll go clown to the 'wafAe joint' now."
On the mm;ning of the celebrat ion of the basket ball victories Bell spoke about being " homesick." The writer has been out on several trips himself and has seen these "homesick" boys write two or three letters
home every da y \Ve nev e r h eard of th e ir parents receiving any let t e r , though.
It i s with feelings of deep regret and sorrow that the L. H. S. es Dr. Fletcher L. Wharton leav e Lif1coln. He i s the fir s t mini ste r Lincoln eve r had that was a favorite of eve r y member of the L. H. S. It i impr o bab l e that a man w ill ever co m e to Lincoln who wiil even in a sma ll way fill Dr. \t\Th arton's plac e. Though l eaves u s n ow, hi s goocln es and great influ ence will liv e after him. T h e people of hi s f utur e h o m e s h o uld feel proud of their n ew l eader and appreciate th e kind favo r of Providence in g ivin g to th em s uch a man Dr. Wharton r e mind s u s of what l\f ark Antony said of Brutus: "H is lif e was ge ntl e, and the clement o mi xed in him that natur e mi g ht s t a nd up and say, 'He was a man.' "
The best wi s h es of the L. 1 I. S. go with Dr. \IVharton wherever h e ma y go.
This sp rin g weather reminds us of vio lets a nd a littl e piece of poetry by Browning: "Such a tarved b a nk o f m oss, Till that May m o rn , Blue, ran the flash across, Violet were born."
Every one s h o uld go t o the g irl s' gym Frida)• afternoon i f the y wish t o see a good ga m e of basket b a ll. O ur g irl s p lay Ge n eva, and a good game is promised. Thi , in a ll pr obability, will be t h e la st game this yea r Every o n e s h o uld come o ut.

A Freshman, after h earing t h e basket ball gi rl s talk al out playi11g with " lin es' ' went h o m e and told hi s parents that down in Kansas the basket ball g irl s pla ye d ,with " li o n s.' H i s m o th e r promptl.v sa id that if bas k et ball led to that h e r son sho uld ha ve natwht to do ,, -ith t h e barbarous recreation.

BASKET BALL GIRLS' KANSAS TRIP.
Sat·urday morning, March 26, the Lincoln High School gir ls left Lincoln, their first destination bei n g Topeka, Kansas, where a game was for the same evening. T h e occas ion had been honored by new black and red su it s, from which the girls expected to ge t inspirati on , but were rather unfo rtun ately disappointed, for through a mistake the trunk co ntaining the suits failed to get checked and t he visiting team was forced to play in borrowed suit very kindly lent to them by the Topeka Y. W. C. A This wa disheartening, to say the least, and put the gir ls off their mettle.
The Lincolnites were met at the depot and taken to variou h omes, previously arranged, wh r e they might rest before attending the banquet which pre ceded the game. Pour teams attended the banquet-the Topeka girl ' and boy ' team, the Lincoln girls' and t h e Kansas
City Central boys' team. After this banquet they all left for t h e audit rium in which game was played.
The auditorium i built on practically the same p lan a ours, and the basket ball fields are about our size. The first half of the game resulted in a score of ro-r3 in favor of the home team. The final score wa 2r-26 in favor of Topeka.
As might be expected this sent the Topekas wi ld with excitement and enthusiasm. There· were about 3,000 of them there, so noise was in abundance. The victory wa an h onest one, although all agree that b ad Lincoln been in better shape tbe score would hav e been diffen!nt, for it is true that the girl were tired from traveling all day, lisheartened and t h e loss of their suits and the illness of the captain, who, in spite of this, played a splendid game. The real stars for this game were J\iossie Kimmel and Vera Barger, though all the girls played a good game.
Sunday wa spent in Topeka and the girls were shown a fine time. Monday morning the girls went to school. The Topeka sc h oo ls hac! no spring vacation, open at 8 a . m. and close at 12 :30. On this same day the girls went to Lawrence, where they played the high school team at the Lawrence university gymuasmm.
The game here was an easy one for Lincoln, although, again. t custom, they were forced to play with lines and six men. Emily Trigg was the sixth man at Lawrence. T h e Jirst half score was 9 - 3. Final score 21-9. Doth sides p layed a very good game, but the Lincoln girls were swifter and muc h more accurate in goal throwing. Mattie Woodworth did some star work in this line. Mabel Hunt played a good game at guard. The next clay the girls left for Kansas City.
The team they played here held the championship over the Kansas City Central and the Manual schools, so Lincoln's victory here is doubly There was no wrangling such as the Journal stated at one time, but only a misunderstanding of the rules OQ the part of Kansas City: A six-rna n team was used here, the '· extra
playe r. S h e did so me ve ry fin e pl ay in g and d ese rves com m endati on.

THE EVOLUTION OF A SCHOOL.
In tim e of transition the yo un ge r classes of a g r ea t sch oo l furni h m os t in pirat ion ancl t he g r eatest enthu s ias m The o ld e r clas es divid e into factions, and ex hau st th e ir energ ies in e r ec tin g windmills and destroying t h e m ; o r in sav ing wreckage that has already fully se rv ed it purpose. It o ft en see m s to the Senior class of a rapidly grow ing sc h oo l that any chang e must be for th e worse. " Th e good old times hav e fl ee!. " Hence i t is n ot worth while to sac rifi ce p e r so n a l comfort o r soc ia l prejudice for clas , pleasure o r fo r t h e g lo r y of the whole sc h oo l.

A sc h oo l ma y thus grow fas t e r than it s most matur e clas ses, but this growth will appea r chiefly in th e low e r classe They hav e no traditions t o hinder. Th ey hav e n o t yet felt th e s t o rms of po litic s and facti onali sm They are sti ll m o r e than willing to sac rifice p erso n and faction in th e nam e o f the whole school. They are n ot ye t t oo aignified t o "stand up for the High School." They hav e their spurs to win ; th e ir service to r ender , a nd , yo uth -lik e, th e ir enthusiasm is abounding.
Inn ova ti ons are n ot ev il s in the eyes of lo w e r cla ss m en , h e nc e the vitality of their m e mb e rs. It is in this part of the ·o rganism that growth is r ap id and h ea lth y. Their influ e nc e o n a sc h oo l is thu s far greater than appears to the cas ual ob e rv er. The high e r classmen with fin ger s on th e pul e of the sc h oo l feel the influ enc e o f this loya lt y and enthusia s m f o r the school of the present and are mor e willing t o p e rmit the development t o proceed along n o rmal lin e .
As these lowe r clas e approach g raduation they beco m e m o r e and more co n se r vativ e. They loo k with su picion upon a n ew r eg ulati on o r upo n th e removal of an ancient landmark.

The one event in athletics that is taking the c..ttcntion of the high school is the Missouri Valley track meet to take place at Kansas City on May 7· There have been four contests in this association in the past, two of which Lincoln succeeded in winning. Last year she was compelled to accept second p lace, and it remains to be seen where she will find herse l f on May 7 · Much depends upon the work done by the team in t he next two weeks. lt is a sure thing that we have stars, but star mu t get out and practice Vlfe want first place at Kansas City, and want it badly, but our own work will tell how well our wants will be realized.
Other events of the track team are a meet with the Stale University next :Monday, April 26, on F. and M. park, and a meet with Doane Co ll ege on Saturday, April 30, at Crete.
vVhen these two meet are over we can tell pretty well how we arc prepared to distinguish ourselves at Kansas City.
Remember, boys, the team for Kansas City is not yet se lected and yo ur chances are as good as they have ever been. Get o ut and put your elf in shape and win a place on the team.

LINCOLN VS. GENEVA.
The Geneva gir ls and their rooters were m et at the train by a delegation of L. H. S. gir ls Fr iday afternoon, and after lunch were taken to the gir ls' gymn asium, where the game was called at 3 :30 before about rso people.
The Lincoln gi rl s were feeling fine in their new r ed and black suits and b owed it in their p lucky playing.
The first half, played wit h five on a s ide, accordu1g to Lincoln ' s cu tom, was wasted by the Lincoln o-i rl s , who w ere unabl e to place the Geneva players, and as a re ult t he .score at the end of the first half tood 6-----9 in favor of L. H. S.
In the second half a six-ma n team was played, according to Ge n eva's cu tom. ur g irl s played a good game this half, gett in g in good team work and good guardi n g ..
Isabel Wolfe wa put in as second goa l t hi s half. She played a good game, sconng s tx points.
Mattie Woodwort h , as first goa l, played a pretty game and though well guarded, seve r a l times got th e better of h e r opponent.
Vera Ba rger played a fine game as center, h e r guarding and goal throwing was unu ually fin e.
Mabel Htmt as first guard was a lso a tar, as s h e guarded the captain and star goa lthrower from Geneva.
oss ie Kimmel played an exce ll ent. game n the fi ld as well as at the goal.
\nna Watt. played second g uard as u sual.
The team work of th e loca l team, as • the result of good coac hin g, was well ca rri ed o ut and the Lincoln g irl s blocked m any of Ge neva's plays and car ri 1 t h e ba ll swift ly up the fi e ld.
The sco re at the end of t h e second half was p-J4 in favor of the L. II. S.

The foiiowing is a s h ort comment a teacher made upon one of the Senior orations:
'·I have n ot attempted to connect the diction ( hecau e to do so i impos ible). You must " ork your whole thesis over carefully. You are too apt to make ome statement co ncerning your subject and then conclude the paragraph with a surprisi ng statement concerning li fe in general or man in particu lar. You occasionally run into that s train which you use in writing nonsense, and in an oraLion it lacks the ring of incerity You have good material. Just forget that you are writing an oration and try for a good, logical, clean-cut , con si lent essay. It sou nds as though you were just writing a conglomerat ion of a thousand words so as to fulfill the requirements."

Speaking more seriously, this is an imp ortant event. \rVhy should the girls practice hard as they have been doing for some time pa t if they are not to be rewarded with a showing of ent hu siasm on the part of the schoo l ? ·where is the old time class spirit? \ Vhere is the patriotism fot; your class? \rV h ere is your lo yalty to the school?

return game with Geneva-so this is your last opportunity to see a good game.
The Fre hmen hav e a sp lendid team and th ei r results in 1 ractic e have been quite praiseworthy , and t.mder the leadership of their captain, Grace Kimmel, they feel confi lent of a good showing. The Freshmen class i a "dandy" class. Th ey have already shown this. fake it doubly apparent by attending this tournament.
The pre ent Sophomore cia s is not to be despi eel. Far from it. They who upneld their honor of their cla s last year as Fresh- · men are sure to do it this year a Sophomores. The 'o6's seem to be favorites and ought to be supported b y their class
Of the Junior little need be said exceptina- that they carried off the honors of last year' tournament and bid fair to do so again The efficient fir t team men playing on th e Junior team speak for themselves in the numerous victories of the year. Juniors, turn out and prove that you are the "whole thing " and that you are "alive."
The Seniors, too, ar e well represented on the first team, having the two forwards. The girls have b ee n practicing· very faithfully and de erve the support of th ir class. Their chances for winning are good and a lillie support from the class will mean much Think of the honor in winning this tournament and how nice it would be for the old Senior class of '04 to be -remembered in basket-ball by a silver cup.
There i little more to be said and it seems that enthusiasm and attendance is not too much to expect. All turn out, then, Friday to see the girl play their best. Give t liem your support in spirit and make the winning team proud of representing their cia s.

DRESS RIVALRY
C la ss unif orm for the graduates of the Omaha high sc h ool is a question that is agitating the Seniors of I90-J.. In this idea the young men and young women who compose the class hav e an opportunity that they may well improve. There are 185 pupils in the graduating class this year, and every girl and perhaps every boy is now considering the question of clothes for that important occasion. Some belong to families of luxury and wealth, while others, just as bright and intelligent as the rest, belong to families where the appropriation for clothing is just as small a neces .. s ity will permit.
Instances of the sacrifices of members of fam ili es that the daughter might be attired in a beautiful gown on commencement day have been ofte n cited to sh ow the folly of drc:ss rivalry on such an occasion. That the young man and young woman have successfully md the requirements of the schoo ls of
Oma ha , have climbed to the top through the various grades, have, by their conscientious efforts, become entitled to the possession of the diploma-these are the real triumphs of the high school Senior. That the presentation of these diplomas hould be accompanied by rivalry in dress parade for the exu lt at ion of some, and perhap the humiliation of ot hers, is not in harmony with the high sc hool commencement idea.
Principal \Vaterhouse and the members of the class of 1 904 who favor the adoption of a uniform dress f o r commencement are em inently correct, and it is to be hoped that the effort in this direction will be made unanimous by the boys and girls and the father and mothers who are interested. The class of 190-J. h ould seize the opportunity and esUtb li s h precedent in class uniform.
The above was taken from a recent issue of the Omaha ·world-Herald. It appeals to our Senior class as well as to the Omaha Senwrs.
1\1any times commencement exercises are simply made a dress parade for and by some of the more fortunate members of a g raduating class because ome are in suc h a position that they are better enabled to spend more money on finery than others who are perhaps partially or wholly paying their expenses.
This might have a tendency to s h ow class distinction whi ch would defeat the very purpose of the high school to develop a democ rati c government.
Ilo\\'ever the matter stands before our Senior class, it would be well for every individual member to give the affair clue and careful consideration before it is too late.
It wa announced in a recent issue of the Advocate that a new local high sc h ool fraternity had been formed, known as the BetaDella C hi. Thi was just a ruse of ome of the members of the Senior class "to have a little fun," as they expressed it, as there is or was no such an idea or intention on the part of the above mentioned people. 1any things have said of the so-ca ll ed fraternity, both glorious and inglorious, by which tlie disposition of some and the opin-

io ns of others have made many comical situations, so that the "boys., feel we li satisfied wit h the h armless pleasure derived from their little scheme.
Therefore, if any one h as had any ill feelings or trouble whatever over the affair, the
so-called members of t h e so-ca il ed "frat" wish
to beg their most humble pardon for wo rk; ng t h em in to suc h a belief as suc h a t hin g would he against the principles of eac h one.

MATHEMATICAL JOTTINGS.
In another issue of this paper we gave some advice to the Freshmen, in regard to the securing of AI and BI in mathematics. We advised them to stick to their mathematics like a hnugry bulldog to a tramp. VVe told them, in the course of our remarks that if they made excellent grades and got a good understanding of the subject in their Freshman year, the rest of the course in the high school would be proverbially broad and easy. We advised them to never skip a class and to always pay strict attention. We advised them to treat their teacher with the utmost respect. We advised them if they didn't understand a point, to call after school and have it explained, instead of \Yasting the time of the class.
Again we wish to caution them for only one m<;mth of s-chool is left and some of them have to do a lot of work to finish We have noticed that CI and DI are appearing upon the reports of some of them, with monotous regu-
larity. They must grasp their pencil harder and dig in with a determination such as they displayed when they won the banner. They ought to, and some need to work hara for the next month. They will have to pay strict attention, although that is sometthing pretty hard to do, at this time of year when everythingis green and when the boy ' minds wander, and they picture to themselves the old swimming hole. They must needs do these things or they will be Freshmen for still another year. ·
This i the time o£ year when those students who are on the ragged edge are indus;trionsly cultivating the acquaintance of their teacher. Almost every one of the teachers every evening after school has a select company gathered about the desk.
One thing students in this department want to watch for is the application of mathematical laws to life. One of the most notable and most common applications of the law concerning variable approaching their limits, is hardly ever noticed. Yet if you open your eyes you can e it any clay in the halls of the old school.
Since securing a treatise upon Intugal Calcudus which contains some novel problems, the author of this column, has been unable to find any problem novel enough to appeal to the readers of the paper and yet simple enough for the majority of them to tmdersta.nd.

The time has come when you.can show your loyaliy to the grand old L. H. S. again. Als to be a loyal high schoolstudent as Mr. Hunter says you should be. It is our last chance to do it this year and we must support it with 300 stron . Remember on May 14 the Jnior play, the grande t of the year. It will be given twice, once in the afternoon and once in the evening so there is no reason wl-iy you should not attend it and show your patriotism. It will be only next year that we will give a play and we wiii want the support of the junior class then. Now is the time to make our futnre look bright by supporting the play. The tickets are 25 cents and every boy is expected to buy two tickets and bring the rest of th e family.

CLASS OF '06
The class of 'o6 did not win the cup given at the basket ball game but t h ey feel t hat the Juniors beat them fairly and the class, as a whole, are proud of the game their girls p layed. They beat the Fres h men, any way and deserve t h at much credit for their work.
Did you see the Sophomores at the ball • game? They had the biggest crowd of any class. The Juniors h ad on ly a few members of their cia s present and that sl1 owecl that the members care more for their fifteen cents than they did for the class reputation. We all felt sorry for the deserted gir ls and were glad that they beat although we would have liked to see ours win.
Th.e Sop h omores who went to the class meeting Friday paid fifteen cents to get there and everyone of them got their fifteen cents' worth and d id not regret the price.
Every Sophomore i suppo eel to pay his or her class dues w h et h er they went to the party or not.

CLASS OF 1907.
The regular class meeting on April 22 was held in room 22 and was very well attended. There were between seventy-five and one hundred pupils present and good class spirit was s h own. A very interesting program was given, w nic h included a cia. 1 rophecy by Harry Stu lts , a poem by Forrest Tebbets, and a "speal'' by Harold Slater. The cJass prophecy was especially funny, as it concerned the future of certain members of the class. The meetings are getting more interesting all the time, but you s h ould come out and s.ee for yourself.
No meeting was held on April 29 on account of the basket-ball tournament. T h e meet in g will be held next Friday as usual.
Although we did not win in the tournament, our girls have shown that we have the foundation for a very strong team. Our defeat was not as bad for us as the Sophs' defeat was for them because we did not expect to win and they did. "Pride goeth before a fall."

The tournament of last Friday resulted in a victory for the Juniors.
The Freslm1en and Sop h omores played first, the latter winning by a score of 10-3. The Freshmen played the best game of the d:.ty considering their time of practice. Grace Kimmel and Tillie Weber were the stars of this game.
The Juniors and Seniors played next, t h e 'os's winning by- t h e large score of 47--9·
Then came the final contest for t h e beautiful loving cup. The Sophomores did not once let the Juniors feel confident of winning and fought a plucky game to the last. T h ey were fina ll y defeated, however, and the cup went to the winning team of last year.

The M. V. T. A. . track meet i now a thing of the past. Some records were broken and others were equa led. A new school came to the front and won first p la ce, a new member of the association, and our greatest football rival, East De Moines, took se(:ond place. West Des Moines came third and our team rank ed fourth.
But let us pass these t hin gs !Jy and take up ot hers of greater importance. There were o n e hundred and twenty-five conte tants at the meet and every one was a gentleman and standing at the head of the list were the individual members of our team who by their gentlemanly conduct made a deep impression upon the people of Kansas City. \Ve care not whether our teams win or lo e a long as they impress the people by their gent lemanly conduct as did the track team at Kansas City.
A Senior.
A gentleman asked us last week what kind of a faculty our sc h ool h ad. \Ve have endeavored tQ answer that question.
Individually and collectively we have the best faculty that can l·e found among the high schools of the co untr y. The board of education and the · principal are to be commended for having provided the best talent that co uld be secured. Not on ly are they exce ll ent teachers of the ubjects found in the c urriculum , b ut they arc lad ie and gentlemen of strong characte r and of high ideals. Teachers who take an interest in the students and in the students' school interests. They are a lw ays found ready and willing to help the students when they need h elp and every st ud ent respects them, not with a respect s h own to those who are in the position to command, but with that higher respect s h own on ly to those who in every way are entitled to it.

THE JUNIOR PLAY
The clas of 'os pre entecl the regular class play Saturday, May 14, giving a performance both afternoon and evening of the comedy entitled "What Became of Parker?"
To say that the Juniors covered with glory is putting t h e matter mildly. It is common talk that they gave the best performance of the kind ever attempted in our high chool. The play itself is a pure comedy, clean and delightful in its humorous presentation of domestic infelicity. The actors appreciated the spirit of the whole thing most keenly and made clear the telling points of the play. At the same time they developed most exce ll ently the characterizations they at.
·walter \Valsh as Fred Parker, the lead in g man in t h e play, made a great hit as a se ri ousminded young business man, who yet h ad sentiment enough to become insanely jealous of his pretty wife. His conception of the character was especially fine throug h out and his acting won mo t favorable comment. Jessie Haynes as Mrs. Parker quarreled with h e r hu sband in a most realistic manner. S h e did an especia ll y good bit of actino· when h e so relentlessly prodded her hu sband's conscience while h e supposed h e was ta lkin g- to her incognito.

Eugene Sage look the part of Jeremiah Growler so perfectly that iL was said of him. "We thought only of Growl r w h en h e was acting and not of the boy at all." IIe won the sympathy ·and admiration of all.
Neva Hibner played the pa rt of Hebe Worthy, nurse to Grow ler, very acceptably and was indeed a delig ht ful mixture of the trongminded young woman and the winsome maiden.
· Lynn Fo s le r , the gallant Jim Jones from Joplin, 1\Iissouri, was a yoLUlg man quite up lo date in all r espects and ca rri ed off lo perfection bi role of a most persisterit suitor.
B r yant Simpson, otherwise known as Otto, th e Teutonic waiter at the Park h otel in Wanke 1-ia, scored one of t h e great successes of the evening. His hum or was mo t ingenious and infectious. The actor that ca n make hi s au(lience laugh with him ha s the true concept ion of his part.
A lb e rt Dill made a most pompous and dignified loctor who was very sure t h at h e co ul d diagnose co rr ectly either a case of " h ypo'' or a case of "non compos mentis."
Donald Price, as a fat man wo rth hi s millions, bore him self ·with becoming dignity wh en he fe lt h im e lf obl iged to repel the upposed matrimonial designs of :Hiss Worthy.
Aunt Mildred Green, a maiden lady, was mo t delightfully impersonated by Loui e Hoover, whose pre ent ation of the c hara cter was very bright and original. Thi c har acter was one of the hits of the even in g.
Ge rtrud e Kincaide was a ve r y attract ive ' h o u se maid , an(t proved h erself the mainstay of the Pa rk e r h ousehold.
Torrence, 1\Ir. Parker's business partner, and the police se r gea nt were both impersonated by Ca rl B um stead, whose ver atility was we ll xh ibil ed by the successful manner in which h e executed both roles .
The players were all indefatigable in their effo rt s to honor the class which had chosen them as its representatives in t hi s first public

appearance of the Juniors, and it is safe to say that every member of t h e class felt proud and h appy when the curta in fell on the last act Saturday evening, for every o ne of th e ca te had mel their most ent hu siastic expectations.
T h e a u die n ce was lar ge and appreciative. . \lmost never before h as a class or any ot h er high school performance been h onored with such courteo u s and inte r ested attention from start to finis h .
T h e interims between act were filled in with pleasing music, bot h vocal and instrumental.
The "B rid esma id s' C horus'' from "T he Trial by Jur y" was beautifully rendered by seven young ladie , Florence Ant h ony, Marie Barr, Pearl Burr, Ruth Easterday, l\1attie Fan non, Leta Linn, and Et h el Prey.
"Ye Banks and B ra es" was given in Scotch costume by Mattie Fannon, Leta Linn, and Ethe l Prey.

Mis Grace Roper proved a very able director of the play and gave great atisfaction. She was assisted by the class sponsors, Miss Kingsley, Miss T r emaine, and Miss Fox, who were untiring in their devotion to everything necessary to a successful rendition o£ t h e p lay.
In connection with a ll this work of the committee, sponsors and p layers, great credit must be given to our class president, Byron \Vorrall, whose ability as a skillful organizer and a successful business manager made itself felt in all the slighte t details of the general management of t h e play He guarded most carefully a ll class interests. Apparently not a t h ing was left undone t h at s h ou ld be clone, an 1 the systematic arrangement of cv ryt h ing deserves t h e highest commendation.
Taking it all in all, the Juniors can heartily join in the sentiment expres eel among "Stray Thoughts" on the program : "Jolly are we, as you all know, U ually ahead are we; Never a h ead of us any may go, In no class are all so f r ee. Oh! we're t h e finest class alive, Ra r ely are found pupils so like bees in a hive , Scarce are the classes like 1905 ."
Speaker in Auditorium: " I wish to speak a few words concerning the two or three greatest problems of High School life."
