AN UNAVOID ABLE INTERRUPTION

The students and patrons of the Lincoln High School sho uld know that thru no fault of the Board of Education or any of its emp loy es was the heating plant not installed and the suspension of school caused.

ln June a boiler inspector pronounced the old boilers uns afe for further use. Steps were taken immediately to replace them; or rather to obtain some that would render better service than they had This was to be accomplished by putting in two high pressure boilers. After considering bids the contract was let to a local concern. They in turn bought them of a Burlington , Iowa, firm who promised shipment not later than Aug ust 20. They waited for a supply of tubes from another firm farther east. Letters and telegrams by the s uperintendent of buildings and g rounds to hurry them up h ave been seen by the writer No blame can justly be attached to any official of the school. Finally the company constructing the boiler were authorized to use steel t ubes instead of the " charcoal tubes" specified and ship at - once. One boiler had been received in August , but none of the cas in g or front was shipped with it. A request for this brot the rep l y that the freight charges would be at least 60 dollars more than with the new boiler and that at the price charged for the boilers the company could not afford to pay it

The second boiler came Frida y, Sept. 27, and the work of installation is being rushed night and d ay by using three shifts of men , each working eight hours.

The interruption of the school work is greatly regretted by all connected with the administration of the school. The time lost will be made up by extension of the semester ' s work a corresponding time

By the way, when one thinks of the busy men and women who serve the city on the Board of Education without a cent's pay, and meet two and often more tim es each month for s ix years to legis late and carry into effect policies for the good of the children primarily and for the city and state ultimately, is there one who has any grounds for complaint? On the other hand, if one has not shown his appreciation for such service , should he not feel quite small and who ll y unworthy of its b e nefits?

Probably few show their ignorance of school affairs and policies so much as he who finds fault w ith what is done, but never finds it possible to commend.

THE CAPTAIN _

A man of great prowess is " Lum" Doyle, the captain of the team "Lum" is known as Ray Doyle among the teachers and in the office r ecor ds He knows football as few do, and shows his ability in marvelous runs and pla ys which make the gra ndst and move into the field with ent husi asm. Doyle played on the first team in 1910· , bu t showed the g r eatest brilliancy last year. It was usually •Doyl e who would get hold of the ball, mak e one great rush ; and before the enemy knew what had happened , would have the ball between their goa l-posts. "Lum " usua ll y plays left half This is where he will play this year to a lar ge extent. It is said that Doyle developed great muscu lar powers working in an iron foundry this summer. Pete and Bill w e stover were worldng in the same place. The three came earl y each morning and played football before beginning work. By t h e end of the summer the boys were not alone. All their fe llo w workers we r e playing football. And now Doyle is putting the same enthusiasm and spirit into the team with great success. " The team is getting into fine shape and can beat them all," Doyle tells u s.

WHY "AD VOCATE " ?

Every worthy cause or movement that makes any c laim upon the people needs its advocate, one w ho , as the etymo lo gy of the word indicates. "calls others to his aid" or publicly recommends i t A person may have splendid ideas which if app li ed would be of great va lu e to the community, but, if he is unabl e to advocate them sufficiently, will not be adopted.

Every schoo l has its good ideas and its id eas which need to be advocated until adopted. The character of the sGhool depends very larg e ly on what is advocated by the faculty , and even more on what i s advocated by its students. Oftentimes misunderstandings cause misrepresentations to be circulated. Patrons and pupils often are influenced by rumors and are ne ed lessly wrought up thru some rumor that has no foundation in fact

The people who support our hav e a right to know the facts co ncerning the activities of our school and of the student organizations conn ected with it.

In order that the facts may be publish ed and the co-o per atio n of students, teachers a nd patrons be secured in fostering the best things for th e schools and the community, the publication of "The Advocate" has be e n undertaken again after a laps e of one year. This time the principals of the two high schools in Linco l n, with the aid of V ice-Principal ':\Jarsha ll of the Lincoln high school, und ertake to see that th e paper truly r eprese nts the better sentiments of the high schools and that the business management is all that it sho uld be

We b elieve that the young men who are appointed to the more responsible positions connected with its publication are thoroly reliable and we ll qualified. They with their assistants and reporters will make all possibl e effort to furnish the high school students of Linco l n and t heir friends with a paper worthy of the support of every student and patron

Surely eve ry family represented in the high schools sho uld have one paper. You pass thru school but once, make the most of your opportunities Subscribe for The Advocate. Keep it on file. Some day you will enjoy reviewing school experiences · by turning thru its pages and being reminded of that which had s lipped from your thought.

Our merchant friends wh os e help thru advertising makes possible the publication of t h e paper are greatly appreciated. Students sho uld reciprocate this kindness when possible

With t h e high school work started better than ever before , with the authorities of the two high schools pull, ing together for the best sort of school s, with a splendid ath letic schedule, with excellent coaches for sports, for debating and for music , and with " The Advocate " to boost, the banner year in Lincoln's high schools has dawned Attention , Stu d ents , Faculty , Patrons! Everybody together . Forward, march .

SENIOR CLASS

Seniors , whether you have ever been to a c lass meeting or not-read this. Do you realize that t h e death knell of our high school l ife will be sounded i n a few months? We must begin now to make our c lass the greatest class that ever graduated from Lincoln high schoo l. \Vhat can you do to accomplish this? You can bri n g your friends to c lass meeting and you can do a big thing right away by helping e lect a new s e t of officers. This is not only a privilege, but a duty, the responsibility of which you should feel. The nominees are p lentiful, so y ou may choose from a variety.

The first meeting was fairly we ll attended, but we hope and believe that the ones in the future will be true representation of the c lass of '13. F i nally, our plea is this : Will you do your part to make the c lass leave d ee p "footprints in the sands of time"?

JUNIOR CLASS

Th e Junior class h e l d its first mee ting of the semester on Friday, Sept. 20, in room 204. Harold Long was appo inted temporary chairman and Edith Yungblut temporary secretary.

other week its members meet to discuss weighty matters of the day or have some jolly time together.

The consti tution says that each member shall pay the sum of twentyfive cents per semester. All other expenses are kept up by donation. In this matter the girls follow Rockefel· ler and Carnegie, hence the bonus is l arge and bountiful.

For sponsors the girls have the privi l ege of claiming L. H. S .'s most capable teachers, Miss Bryan and Miss Burt.

Though our name indicates a studious, book-wormy crowd, we are by no means that. But since we are a ll bright, intelligent gir l s when we d ebate! At such times the room is filled with an antagonism never felt anywhere except at th e Lincoln-Dougl as debates . One meeting a month is given over to d e bating and one to social times.

In social times we are all that anyone cou l d wish. Our first socia l time generally begins with initiation or a f ee d This year , owing to the fact that the L. H. S. building is being used as a r e frigerator, our first social time was a candy and popcorn feed at Lillian \Vurt ' s home, given last Friday.

As soon as possible a lega l meeting will b e held , officers elected and a few more jo ll y gi rl s added to our circ l e.

Then the fun will begin. Initiation , theater parties , " hikes," feeds , sleighrides and last though not l east, the dance (Continued in the next issue.)

MILLER AND PAI:NE

SHAKESP EARE SOCIETY

The Shakespeare society, having lost twelve of its senior members last June, has at present six members As soon as a meeting is permitted we will pledge six more seniors and the second semester we will add six juniors to our membership , which is limited to eighteen.

Our meetings are devoted to the study of a Shakespearian play each semester. Several social events are indulged in along with study.

With the help of the efficient and enthusiastic sponsors, }!iss Tremain and :\fiss Jury, w e hope to make this one of the best and live liest years in the history of the society.

THE KILKENNY SOC IET Y.

The Kilkennys have not met yet this year. At the meeting Friday officers will be elected and the society will be in full swing again.

THE A. F P S OCIETY.

The A F. P. Society will meet for the first time this year Friday, the eighth period , in room 22 By electing officers then, the society will be ready to begin activities.

THE PTOLEMY SOCIETY

Do you know that the greatest and best organization of the L. H. S. is the Ptolemy Society? At least it is

THE ADVOCATE

in our opinion and wou ld be in you r s, too, if you wou ld join us. No meetings have been held yet this semester , but we hope to have one about next spring when the weather gets above freezing, un l ess the heating p lant should by some accident be put in working order

Now , to get down to tacks , as the saying goes. How many students. and freshmen also, are reading this now who do not belong to any society? If you are interested in any forrn of science it is time for you to get in this ' society and show us what you can do.

Some people have an idea that we study astronomy only, but this is not the fact; all sciences are considered, such as wireless telegraphy and aviation, so if you are interested in any science at all we want you as a member. Please don ' t start to think that we are a stiff, high·brow set of fellows , because we are not; we are in for just as good a time, socially, as any other club in the school, as well as for the scientific part of it. Last semester many enjoyable evenings were spent by the Ptolemy members in discussing the different sciences , in star gazing, oyster suppers and picnics , but this year will be even better, so hurry up and join before it is too late.

PHLOGISTON SOCIETY.

The Phlogiston Debating Society is one whose aim and purpose is to pro· mote debate and public speaking in the High Scltool. The knowledege of parliamentary law is something which every student should acquire, and upon this we also lay great emphasis.

Our membership is composed of the picked students of the High School and is limited. However, each year r,!any old members graduate and thus Is the opportunity offered for more students to fill their ranks. On the class of 1912 seven of our members graduated and accordingly seven new members will be voted in to fill the vacancies. On picking these seven we will select men who show interest in the above accomplishment.

Our meetings are held on Friday evenings at 7:45, in room 201. We extend to each student a personal invitation to attend our meetings. If you are energetic and progressive you will attend our meetings . This is not a forced attendance It is a p l easure to hear our debates. Don't forget :

THE LATIN CLUB.

The Latin Club (Legio Decima) has not elected officers as yet. and until that is done the plans of the club for the semester will not be completed. The club meets every othe r week, during the seventh period, in room 204. A program is given usua ll y, followed by Roman games or a Roman "feed." The purpose of the club is to increase interest in the study of Latin and to encourage friendships among the pupils of the Latin department. Among the tentat i ve p lans of the club are a stereopticon lecture on Italy and Sicily, and an open program for one of the regular school assemblies. During the semester the

C I CERONIAN DEBATING SOCIETY. The Ciceronian Debating Society is the pioneer society of the High School. It has been established over twenty years and has flourished all of this time above any other society in the Lincoln High School. The Ciceronians have always been well represented on the High School debating team, last year having every p lace on the team filled by Ciceronians Some of the greatest debaters who have graduated from Linco l n High have been Ciceronians This society has its regular meetings every Friday evening at 7: 45 in room 204 The first meeting of the semester will be held next Friday evening, October 4th All new students are urged to pay us a visit and enjoy our meetings _ _

EDITORIAL

One year has passed without the Lincoln High School Advocate bring · ing to you students that without which no group of Amer i cans are American- news. This silence in regard to a High .School paper was necessary, and perhaps helpful. The lack of a school paper has been fe l t during the past year and so now, refreshed and with renewed vigor "The Advocate" appears again. '

"The Advocate" has been published in Lincoln High Schoo l for eighteen in different forms and according to different p la n s, but always as ''The Advocate," our own pa per. It has carefull y chronicled Lincoln High Schoo l 's joys and its sorrows, its victories and defeats No better or more accurate means have we of calling to mind o ld L. H. S. heroes or learning how our predecessors tho u ght and acted Not only is it the pulse of the high school at present, but it registers the pu lses of the years gone by. Thus, re-dedicated to all the journali stic duties in the Linco l n High School , and w i th full confidence in your co-operation. is presented this first issue of the year 1912-1913.

We appreciate the good will and feeling which exists between the Teachers Co ll ege H i gh School (popular l y known as The Temple) and The Lincoln High School. We glad ly unite with them in providing a school paper which shall represent the ent ire High School population of Lin · co ln.

"Come on, Gingah ' We uns mus' be movin ' a long. " With a quick jump the gir l was on the mare's back. "Fastah, Gingah , fastah," she cried. The wind · bit her cheeks t ill they were like roses.

"Oh, Daddy, if on l y you are safe and well!" the child murmured to herse lf.

For three long years he had been gone. No word had they received from him. At last , in desperat ion, Dixie Carr had dressed like a boy and was going to carry messages in the war

Here Dixi e straightened up.

" I know , sir, but I want to do something to help. "

"We ll , my boy , if you feel that way about it, it will be an honor to let you. Now, I am go in g to start you right in Take this message to General Wallingford. He is in th e tent where that little re d light burns ."

" Thank you, General ," and Di xie stepped out into the keen wind. While on her way she wondered how she could find out where "Daddy" was. How well she remembered the morning he had gone away to the war! How young and handsome he had lo oked! She could almost hear him saying: " Now, Dixie. girl take care of--''

" Halt! " came a voice so near her that she jumped for fright. "Who are you? What are you doing here? "

"I'm taking a message to General Wallingford from General Lee "

"All right, go along."

As Dixie entered the tent, she saw General Wallingford seated at a table Handing her message to the General, she waited for an answer.

After reading it, the General turned to her and said : "My son, are you willing to take this message to Jackson at Cartersville?"

Now Cartersville was a good three hours' ride and on a cold winter night Dixie realized it would probably be longer than that. However, she said: "I'll take the message, General."

"You are a brave boy. Go quickly as possible. On you depends the life of every man in the camp at Cartersville This must be delivered before midnight."

How these words rang in her head! She could hear nothing else. Here it was nine o 'clock already.

The road Dixie had to travel was a gloomy one. As she was riding through the woods she heard the word "Halt!" Not heeding, she kept right on Soon a bullet whizzed past. U rging Gingah forward, she flew over the ground. They were yelling, " Spy !" to her and gaining on her every minute Would she ne ver reach the Conf e d e rate lines? Still h e r pursuer 's horse kept coming nearer and near er. Now she could see the C onfederate camp fires. Would Ginger hold out?

" Hurry, Gingah!" she cried "You know you can make it Just get me to that tall pine tree over yonder ."

Tre e s fi ew past Dixie unheeded How much longer could Ginger last? Soon the pine tree was reached. Dixie dismounted and ran as fast as possible towards the General's tent She saw nothing except General Jackson. Running up to him , she thrust the message into his hand Had she reached her goal in time?

After reading the message, the General took her in his arms and said: "M y boy, tonight by that long ride you have saved more people than you know. Here, General, this is the little lad who has this night saved the life of every man in camp."

Looking up, Dixie saw the face of olden times "Daddy, 0 Daddy!" she cried. She fiung herself into his arms and in that safe harbor told them the story of her running away and of her long, wild ride .-Exchange.

THE TEAM.

A large number of husky football players have been at work every afternoon on the practice field, and an excellent team is being formed. A large number of new but able fellows are showing up good. There are only three of last year's first team men on the team tbis year. They are: Ray Doyle, ·Carl Wilke, and Raymond Westover Doyle is playing left halfback. Wilke plays guard in a steady Irish way. R Westover and W Westover are both showing up good at tackle. Ernest Guenzel, captain of la st year's second team, is doing good

work as right half-back. Great things are ex·pected of Guenzel. Russe ll Allen bears the distinction of being the smallest man on the team However he makes up for his weight in a swiftness and agility wl1ich will probably get him the quarter-back's job.

Sprague is playing a cool-headed game and will be used as center

Several others, such as Ralph Doyle, True, Harmon and Richards , will be tried on the team

Th e line average is about 158 pounds.

The team has been hampered by the fact that they hav e no suits. They are still hoping for them.

BIBLE STUDY.

The Bibl e study will be carried on at the Y M. -c. A on much the same plan as it was last year There will be five or more courses offered, and of these the student may take his choice. As these studies cover a peri?d of only five months, the student Wlll not find them burdensome Clas ses will begin in 'Novembe r and close in March or April. A ll High School students are requested to keep this in mind and be ready to enroll for one of these studies. More definite announcement will be given next month.

Mr. John D Walker, the boys' secretary, will have charge of some of these c lasses. H e has spent several years in studying the Bible in both Greek and Hebrew, and will present the historical and religious phrases of it in an interesting manner

The High School gymnasium classes are in full swing at theY. M. C. A. It was necessary last vVednesday to form two classes The first one to meet at 3 o'clock and the second at 4 o'clock on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays While apparatus work will play the greatest part, th e class affords an excellent chance for those who expect to try out for this year's basketball teams to keep in form.

The Junior.

Around our spreading High School

The bloomin ' junior stands.

The J- a feeble man is he ,

With small and warty hands; And the muscles of his tender arms

Are strong as rubber bands

Weak in , weak out, from morn till night

You can h ea r the junior blow; You can hear him run his c lattering tongue

As it ra ttles to and fro,

Like an a larm c lock ringing its l!ttle b e ll

When the evening sun is low.

And freshmen coming in to school

See him through the -open door; They love to see the pesky freak, And hear this junior roar, And catch the feeb l e thoughts which fall

Like chaff on a threshing floor.

He goes on Sunday to the church; Sits not among the boys; He hears the parson pray and preach; He h ears his best girl's voice

Singing in the choir-

She makes an awf ul noise.

It sounds to him like a froggie ' s voice, In water up to his eyes; He needs must think of it once more, Croakin g and catching flies; And with his sma ll pale hand he wipes

Th e sal t brine from his eyes.

Talking , flirting , flunking , Onward through school he goes; Each morning sees no task b eg unEach evening l ess he knows Not hin g attempted, nothing done'Tis thus the who le year goes.

TWO ASSEMBLIES IN ONE WEEK

'Monday morning, l ast week, after an hour 's delay in order to arrange for the seating, all the classes were called together. The business manager and editor of The Advocate launched the first issue. In this they were assisted by Mr. Archibald Dinsmore of the U. of N. Mr. Dinsmore is on e of the few successful editors The Advocate has had During his editorship, in 1906, The Advocate attained a success which has never been equaled since The student body responded very well to the appeal made for subscriptions. The assembly was dismissed after three excellent selections by the famous impersonator, Mr. -Me isner.

Again Tuesday morning assembly was held, this time the program was arranged for the boosting of football. The band played two selections, which were excellent and greatly appreciated by the student body. Harold Mor ga n , the school cheer leader , l e d in the singing of a new football song and some o ld familiar yells. 'Mr. 'Marshall, the football manager, then introduced the captain, Ray Doyle, and after him Mr. Lind ley, the coach, and both spoke concerning the team, the games played and the games to b e played . Th e main speaker was Mr. Hunter, our new superintendent. This is the first time he has appeared before us as superintendent. Mr. Hunter has been connected with L H S. before, notably as coach of the famous ' 04 team. Before five minutes were up he had made himself so well liked that every student is lookin g forward to his next talk to us. The main topic of his talk was an exposition of the possibilities for good school work and good morals among the athletes of the school. Playing on the team is not an excuse for poor work in the class-room, but ought to be an incentive to good work. He dwelt some on the necessity of clean morals among the players With these two things up to the standard in the team the school ought to come out and support and boost them After Mr. Hunter's spirited speech another yell was given, Boola was sung and the assembly was adjourned with the L. H S Band playing. The stage was very atJtractively decorated through the diligence of the G. D '8. girls.

WARNER, L. H. S. '12, PRESIDENT UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN CLASS.

We are glad to learn that L. H. 1S. men have won s u ch prominent places in the university classes C lark Dick-enson, '10, one of the best known of the '1>0 class. was elected president of the -Junior class and Philip Warner, '12, was made president of the Freshmen. The Freshmen have been well divided between three prominent candidates, two of whom were Lincoln men.

OcTOBER 16, 1912

THE LEFT GUARD , Big and strong and steady is our Irish left guard, Ca rl Wilke. He played in this position on the first team last year and is there again this year. Wilke always presents to the opposite side six feet of solid resistance which they find it hard to do anything with. He furnishes an invaluable steadiness to our fast , light team. Last year Wilke made the basket-ball team, where he played center.

In the Y . M. C. A. play, "Erin-goBragh," wh ich was given last spring, Wilke took the part of Bartle Brannigan. His acting was very good. It was generally agreed that he showed the greatest dramatic ability in the cast. L . H . 1S. will lose a good athlete and actor when Wilke graduates this winter.

Warner has been well backed by old L H S. men, such as Cameron, Ankeney, Wells and Hugg. The other Lincoln man was Paul Dennis, a graduate of the Temple High School. It seems that one or two L H S. men deserted the Lincoln High candidate and worked for Dennis , so th e victory was especially gratifying to the loyal ones. Warner received 89 votes, while his nearest competitor received 75. Dennis had 69 votes

Merril Reed , L H. S. , '11, has been appointed managing editor of "The Daily Nebraskan." Reed was closely connected with The. Advocate while in Lincoln High , being editor-in-chief for two semesters

FOOTB.II,LL BOYS RUN IN·

Three auto loads of L. H. 'S. football boys made an unsuccessful attempt to advertise the Hastings game last Wednesday. They had made a large sign advertising the football games to be played this year. They were told by members of the police force to remain at a respectable distance behind the parade. According to the boys, one or two of th e se guardians of the law were afflicted with a vain desire to show their authority , and although the autos kept at the required distance from the rear end of the parade, the uniformed men were not satisfied, but matched their strength with that of the boys. The result of the contest was that one car went free and the other two gave the blue-co'ats a ride to the station. The clerk was ha r d press e d putting down the names of the offenders, Lahr, Sprague, R. westover, Quick, Bushe, R. Doyle , Allen, Guenzel, Harms, Watkins and Wilke. The boys were then shown how much license a chief-ofblue-coats may use when he talks. The chief and only speaker of the occasion was the chief, Hunger. The Advocate reporter, being unfamiliar with certain police terms, and not being a German "shark," was unable to take down this speech However, the boys were well entertained, which speaks well f or the p d It is suggested that the brass-button-men ought to "mooch" auto rides when there is room for them in the car It really is more comfortable inside than standing Oil. the running-board.

HASTINGS,

Team Makes Good Showing.

Lincoln piayed the first game of the season with Hastings last Friday afternoon at the University field and defeated them by a score of 18 to o. The game was well' played, considering the condition of the field, which had water standing on it in many places. The team showed the attention of Coach Lindley and C aptain Doyle and played the best game possible under the circumstances. Captain Doyle hurt his ankle during the first few minutes of play, but was able to finish the first half

Boehmer OJ:Hlned the game by kicking off. After three downs Hast ings lost the ball on a fumble. Lincoln re· turned the ball to Hastings' 30•yard line, when they lost it on a fumble Hastings punted and Lincoln got the ball. Guenzel made a gain of about ten yards. L incoln punted and got the ball from Hastings on downs Wilke carried the ball through the line for a gain of ten yards and Boehmer repeated the performance. Lowe was sent in to right end Lincoln went through Hastings ' line for a touchdown, but failed to kick goal, to page 6

THE Y W C A

The Y. W. C. A . has been enthusiastically launched on another very prosperous year, ·with Grace Morris as president and iVliss Trigg as pilot.

At the noon meeting on Tue sday there were thirty-two girls present. Miss •Marjorie Black sang a solo and Mrs. Sleath told the girls about the chorus work which is to be started All those interested in this work should watch the bulle tin boards for further information. We are sure that there will b e a very large and fine chorus under the competent l ea dership of Mrs. Sleath. ·

Another strong feature of the work for this year which was discussed at the meeting will be the Bible study courses. There will be three classes. Monday noons Miss Trigg will conduct a class on "H igh S c hool Girls' Problems ." This class was very thoroughly enjoyed by the girls who attended it last year. Tuesday noons Miss ;vreredith will give an interesting course on Bible characters. Miss :Vleredith is a fine teacher and in pres e nting this work she will use copies of famous paintings of the characters Those who wish to take a very interesting course in technical Bib le study should join on " The Man of Gallilee," led by .l\-Iiss Rouse These Bib le courses speak for themselves, so get in line and register at once.

The campaign for new members which was started last Thursday is called the " War of the Roses ." The membership committee is divided into two parts, the reds and the whites. For each new member the side by which she has been secured will add a new rose on their bush. Dorothy Adamson is captain of the reds and F lorence Eppens of the whites Nothing less than a membership of 20- (} will satisfy us.

Last, but not least, will be our social good times. The first party of the year will be in honor of the new members. Later there will be musicals , noon socials, the banquet, the reception to the mothers , and many other jolly good times which you will be very anxious to attend, so get your tick e t now by becoming a member.

For the information of -students, parents, and others who are interes te d, we print below the text of the law pertai ning to high schoo l fraternities or other organizations. It is possible that some students do not know such a law exists, and those that may have heard tha t it exists do not know its exact nature.

Special attention is called to section 1183 8, in which it w ill be observed that organizations which are not school orga ni zations are prohibited from soliciting high school students while on high school grounds or in th e buildings , to join a ny outside organizations.

On Both Sides.

A teacher was discussing the subject of political parties at school one day. When he had gotten through he asked:

" How many republicans have we?" Some raised hands. Then he asked: " How many democrats?" Some rais e d hands Among those was Helen, who had just said she was republican.

The teacher said: "Why, Helen, you cannot be both republican and democrat."

Helen said: " Yes, sir. My father is a republican and my mother a democrat "

"On the one hand," said the teache r, pointing a long finger to th e map on the classroom wall, "we have the far· stretching country of Russia. On the other hand-what do we see on the other hand-Tommy? "

EAST DESMOINES , 20 ; LINCOLN , 12

Linco l n met their o l d enemies , East Des Friday at Des Moines , and \vere beaten with a score of 20 to 12. Last year Linco l n beat Des Moine s with a score of 6 to 0. It was a well played game by both teams, but the large number of last year's men on the Des Moines team weighed heavily against Linco l n. The Des :.\Ioines men made great headway by means of end runs Ray Doyle's line plunging was v ery spectacular Boehmer and Guentoo , h i t the li ne with a force which the home eleven could hardly withstand Allen showed up very we l l. His brilliant p l ays made him the star of the game.

' Linco l n fumbled the kick off. East Des :.\Joines , by a series of end runs, made the first touchdown , but missed kicking goal. Lincoln got the ba ll on a fumbled kick off f r om Des •:\loines and rushed it down the field. Then R. A ll en tore thru heavy interference to a touchdown. Lincoln missed l,{icking goal. Again East Des :\ l oines carried the ball down the field on '"nd runs to a touchdown. Goal was kicked. In the second quarter Des :Haines scored a third touchdown and goa l was kicked They were he l d down the last half and G uenzel scored another touchdown in the third quartm: Lincoln failed to kick goa l.

The South Omaha game last Saturday was one of the most exciting of those p l ayed this season.

Line plunges by Wilke , little Allen's cool headwork and Richards ' plunges and tackles were the noteworthy features of the game

In the first quarter, twice within five minute's time, So. Omaha forced her way to Linco l n's 1 yard line.

Once the ball was carried across the line but was fumbled and forced back to the gridiron by Boehmer.

The first touchdown occurred in the 2nd quarter. Wilke p l anted the ball across the line and later kicked the goal, scoring seven points for Lincoln.

N uM BER 4

OMAHA G A ME

In the third quarter Boehmer made the 2nd touchdown, Wilke failing to kick goal. Fake plays by So. Omaha and a 36 yard run by Allen marked t he last quarter. The game closed with Lincoln ' s ball on her opponent 's 12 yard line Lincoln.

WI L S ON PRESIDEN T SE NIO RS.

The offices of president and vicepresident in the senior class hav e been closely contested At the election• no candidate received a majority either for president or vice-president, so a ·special meeting was called for last Tuesday.

Mr ·watkins , one of the leading candidates , withdrew along with Blanche Higgens and Ethel Stone . After two ballots .a majority vote was cast for

Stop! Look ! Listen! Notice! -'Bear in mind! Don't forget! And, above all things, " Turn Out! " Next Saturday, NovemiJer 2, on the Uni field t h ere will be pu ll ed off another one of those games v{ith Omaha. You ' ve all heard about those games. Why, it's the one game in the season which we ::\lUST win! Of course the Seniors will be there, simply because they neve r miss anything good; all Juniors will attend, because they always try to imitate the .Seniors; the Sophomores will be there , " Johnny-on-theSpot ," for the simple reason that they ' re a p r etty clever bunch, and the Freshmen must be there in order to get acquainted with a real game of footba ll. Now to get down to facts. Tf everyone turns out to root for old L. H S we can ' t help winning. It may be i nteresting to some to know the results of the Lincoln, Omaha games before this ye ar The following facts were published by Omaha about the games previous to 1904:

Lincoln 11 Omaha. 0 19·00 Lincoln 0 Omaha 0 1901 Lincoln 0 Omaha 11 19,02 Lincoln 30 Omaha. 5 19-02 Linco l n 18 Omaha 0 1903 Lincoln 21), Omaha 0 1 90 3 Lincoln. 0 Omaha. 0

Q U AR T ERBACK.

"The fastest high school man I have ever seen on the stadium," said Mr. VanLiew , the famous East Des Moines coach of Russel Allen. And Mr. Van Liew has seen a great many good p l ayers both from Lincoln and other schools strong in football. Even to one who has seen the team in action it hard ly seems possi'ble that "Shorty " Allen, who measures only 5 feet, 3 inches, and weighs 120 pounds, should be the big man on the team. He has played quarter-back in every game this year and has made over one-half of the touchdowns. At Des •::\I oines the team was up before the assembly of Des Moines high school students. When they saw Allen and Wilke standing together the whole school laughed to see such a combination on a football team. But it is no laughing matter when "Shorty" grabs the ball and begins to run thru the line.

Allen came to Lincoln in 1911 from Burlington , Iowa. Last year was h is first year of football. He played on the second team. Allen is a lso fast at baske t ball and will probably make tJhe team this year. What his faculty friends like best, tho, i s that he is a good student and has a large capacity for lesson getting.

Howard \Vilson Two ballots were also necessary to decide on the vice-preside n t, Hermine Hatfie l d A good deal of active electioneering before the election took place lent a lively interest a mong the seniors. These two capable offic ers, with the rest of the officers, certain l y will help to make the the class of 1913 "t hat great class."

For the seasons since 190 3 we have the following record: 1904 Lincoln 33 Omaha 0 1'907

In the contests with Omaha, Lincoln has won 7 games, tied 2, and has a total score of 133 to Omaha's 53

Again we urge you to come out one and all to see another great victory added · to o u r list.

All the old members of the school will be pleased to hear that our friend Phil Collins, one of the most brilliant li ghts in the high school, not only in his studies, but also in athletics, returned to school this week. On account of illness in the fam il y he has been forced to remain at home much longer than intended. Phil, as you rememb€r, was elected captain of the basket-ball team for this year, and we expect great things of him this season. Phil is the brother of two of the best known and finest football players that ever helped to put L. H in the place it now holds There are hardly any two players better known to L. H. S. students students than Army and Sidney Collins. Phil has always been one of the most popular boys in H . .S., and many people have been asking when he is expected to return.

DEBATING B;EGINS.

Debating work i n preparation for the contests in the :State Deb a ting League began Wednesday, Octobe r 23, with the first meeting of th e debating squad. Some attitudes concerning work i n debate were discussed , and general suggesti ons considered in r ega rd to the purposes and results of work in argumentation. The question for this years discussion, "Resolved, 'That cities should adopt a commission form of gove r nment," was tak e n up briefly , and reports assigned to the different

m e mb e rs of th e squad , whic h will b e given in succeeding m eet ings

The aim is to have as many m eetings as possible to consider thorough l y our presen t municipa l system of government in order to ga i n an ade· quat e background of knowledge for ana l yzing the advantages and disadvantages of th e new commission form. Jluch hard work, therefore , is ah ea d of the members of the debating squad; wo r k , howeve r, which will fu ll y r e pay a ll those who have time for it. The reward , thou g h not always victory in d ecis ions and not as ostentatious as in other student activities , is none the l ess sure.

It lies with the members of th e Lincoln High School to show the r e presentatives of the other schools in the East Ce ntra l district and the other distr i cts of the state that they are best able to discover the truth and to pr ese nt evidence in support of it.

YORK P LAYS FRIDAY

It w ill be p l ayed on the U ni versity fi e l d at 3 o'c lock Last year York was the first , and with th e exception of Sioux City, th e on ly team to score on Lincoln. However, th ey did not cross Lincoln 's goa l line ; they , scored a goal from the fie l d Lincoln was the victor, w i nning 16 to 3. Everybody must come out and help the l oca l lads plant the " pigskin " behind York's goal. Rememb e r , at th e University fie l d , Friday, November 8, at 3 o'clock.

FOOTBALL RALLIES

Last week a fo otba ll ra ll y was held Friday noon. The ye ll ing was so good that the ra ll y was not adjourned until part of the fifth period had gone, which meant shortened p e riods.

This morning a rally for the York game was successf ul in stir ri ng up inter e st for Friday 's game.

Rehearsal was again held at 2 : 45 Tuesday. Another one (special) was held Thursday at the same time.

Last practice we had five clarinets out. Keep on coming, boys, we need you

Some class to that drum, isn' t there? The fellow back of it is " Fat" Schroeder. He's a strong -arm and has plenty of music in him.

But speaking of bands, we certainly have a dandy. Others have recognized it, as more artists (musical) are turning out to rehearsal. If you are not al r eady in , come on before we close the doors.

Last week I mentioned that Ray •Smith was late of Parks Orchestra That isn't corr e ct, as he is still with the m at all their dances, playing his old corne t. We have another repres e ntative of Park's Orchestra in the band in ' the person of Adrian Scott (head drummer and cymbal smasher)

Lest we forget it , Mr Bailey is some dandy director and he knows how to get the up-to-date music for "that air" band of ours.

Dear Editor:

In your last issue of the Advocate you printe d sev era l of th e Lincoln · High School's songs. It was very nice of you Permit me to suggest that you publish in a future issue the most beautiful of all our songs (and one that shou ld be sung more than any of the oth e rs) , "The •Scarlet and the !Black." It is a sad fact that a large majority of the students do not know this song, when they should know it t he best

.Some people say the Universe is finite and that it is surrounded by a great, n e bu lous bel t called the Milky Way Whether this is true or whether the suns are distributed infinite l y thro u gh space we will not say.

THE INFIN I TUDE OF THE UNIVERSE

When the sunlight streams into a room containing dust-laden air we see in that b e am of light innume rable small partic les floating about. Here is a case somewhat ana logous to t h e infinitely large and endlessly wonderful Universe.

If we can imagine each on e of these particles to be a star or a sun (for o u r sun is a star) , wander i ng about, we ge t some conception of the p lan of the Universe.

A straight line as long as the ea r th ' s circumference would seem to be very long, but what would we think of the line to the sun , which would requ ire 3,72 0 earth-circumferences to measure it? And what a tiny earth we have! Even in comparison wit h Jupiter, our big b rother, we are as a copper cent to thirty-seven si l ver dollars But think of the sun! If all the planets, asteroids, satellites in th e solar system were thrown together, h e wou ld st ill r epresent a mass 7&0 times as large

Th e speed of light is about 18•6,000 m iles per second, but astronomers, in expressing the distance to the stars, use a unit which rep r esents the distance traversed by light in one yea ran inconceivable distance. The nearest star (A l pha Centa u ri) is 4% of these light years away, or 269,0•00 times the distance from the earth to the sun. The most distant star, that

All of the suns are movin g , but they ar e so far away that they apparently move s lowly. I nd ee d , if Ptolemy (150 A D.) wer e a li ve today he wou ld notice no great chan ge in th e heave n s. However , in 4GO· centuries we would not recogni ze any of our well known ( ?) conste llations Our sun moves 3Jbout 1'2 miles per second in an orbit which s ee ms to be a straight line. It is an inte resting picture to imagine our l ittle earth, dra gg ing a moon, moving around the sun at 18 miles per second, while Old Sol, d r agging a ll t h e planets , comets, asteroids and sa t e llites , moves along at a velocity almost as great. Astronomers say that the So lar System is h ea ded toward a point near the star Vega vV e will never know what w ill happen when we get th e r e. We have but bri e fly considered here the magnitude of our great unive r se, but s u rely the ide a has impressed itself on the read e r of not on l y the ma g nific e nc e of th e Building, but of the pow e r , the grande ur , th e care and ,forethought of the Builder.

YORK DEFEATED AGAIN. Lincoln, 21; York , 0.

LINCOLN, NEBR., NovEMBER 13, 1912

The Lincoln e l even was back in its old form and played a vigorous game Friday. York brought its band and about a hundr e d rooters, fu ll y expecting to gain the first victory over Lincoln Their team, much •heavier than Lincoln's, were able several times to come c lose to Lincoln goa l line, but were a l ways r ep ulsed by Lincoln ' s famous stone wall. Lincoln made-three to uchdowns, proving to York t hat they can't beat us- ever.

In the second quarter All e n made a twe n ty yard run , but York retaliat e d with a thirty yar d run. In this qu arter Ray Doyle made the first touchdown an d Wilke kicked goa l.

ln the t hird quarter Ray Doyle was injured but he soon recov ered By a series of gains the ball was agai n pushed over York's goal lin 8 a nd was kicked, making t h e score 14 to 0.

York made a la rge number of atte mp ts at forward passing. Most of these were inte rc epte d , but in the 4th quarter they made an excell e nt pass fo r a gain of thirty yards. They tried the pass once too often. Ralph Doyle intercepted it and made a forty yard run to Lincoln's l ast touchdown Willre again kicks g oal.

STATE CHAMPIONS ?

Beatrice, 13; Omaha , 20.

IJ3eatrice and Omaha met at Omaha, Friday, to decide who should be state champions. At the end of the third quarter Bea tric e had scored 13 points , Omah? 0 It began to get dark and Beatrice seemed unable to see the ball. In the last eight minutes of play Omaha made three touchdowns and kicked two goals. According to the Beatrice squad, Omaha played as dirty a game as Omaha did when in L incoln A team which does not play clean football has no righteous claim to the state title.

students of Lincoln High School , after hearing this, will a ll move to Omaha an d go to school there, leaving certain small individuals t o continue their petty bickering s , concerning our new High School, for e ver and eve r . Th e program was rich wi t h contribution s f rom some of America's greatest educators , such as Claxton, commission e r of educat ion for th·e United S tatee; McCurray , Columbia University; Dean Judd, Chicago University; KilpatJ'ick, Columbia University, and W.

Jos ep hin e Burkett is president of one of the liv e li est c lub s in Lincoln H i gh School-t:he Kilkenny.

Last year was Miss Burkett's first yea r in Lincoln High School. She came to Lincoln from Western High School , w •ashington, D . c.

TEACHERS AT OMAHA.

Last Wednesday 246 teachers left Lincoln for Omaha, where they attended the State Teachers ' Association For three days they were entertained by the metropolis while the in· dustrious students, l eft behind, studied not at a ll. The tota l number of teache rs from the state attending the convention was 5,000.

Wednesday they attended general sessions and visited classes in the Omaha High School. Th e new High School building at Omaha is fairly a palace beside our buildings It easily accommodates 1,500 people, while Lincoln has only 1,056 pupils. The Commercial High School accommodates 800 besides this 1,500. All the buildings of the Omaha High School cover five times as much ground as Lincoln's and they only have fifty per cent more students enrolled. We hesitate some about mentioning these facts There is some danger that the faculty and

AT IDA GROVE SATUROIAY

On Friday the team will leave for Ida Grove, where they will play Saturday afternoon. This is expected to be the hardest game on the schedule this year. Ida Grove always puts out a strong football team and this year they seem to have an exceedingly heavy and fast team. Last year the Linco ln lads defeated the Ida Grove aggregation by a score of 16 to 0 on the Un iv ers ity field. With Harmon probably back in the game and Ca pta in Doyle in prime cond iti on, the L H S. boys will put up a fast game.

EDITORIAL.

A criticism, surprisingly unju st, which has been offered b y some, is that The Advocate contains too much advertising. I t needs a ve ry little explanation to show the fallacy of this <;tatement. T ho money received from subscriptions pays for bu t a very small part of t h e expenses-hardl y more than in cidentals over the cost of printing the r egu l ar issues. Th e Advocate in former years, except for one or two exceptions, failed financially an d relied on entertainments or the at hletic association to pay its d ebts. Thi s year The Advocate IS succeeding· financially and f urth ermore is g iving each subscribe r more actua l reading matter than any Advocate ever has-or any schoo l paper in Lincoln now is giving at comparative subr cription rates. And this success is due to the support of our merchant friends.

The paper wh ich comes nearest to h av in g the same amount of reading matter was the last Advocate in 1910. The pages, however, were smaller, the columns sma ller, and much extra space was taken by large h eadings and by actual measurement this year's Advocate is ahead. Great pains h ave been taken w i th the printing this year. Extra quality of paper is used, good cuts , good type setting and e l imination of as many typographical erro r s as possible. The result is better than was expected, but costly This cost is paid for by advertising , a small er percent of advertising than any of the other school or college papers in and about Linco ln

The advertising spac-e might have been small er if we had admitted the poor er c lass of advertising-q u estionab l e , or useless to a student-and thereby receiving higher rates. The students are patronizing our advertisers. Ant i cipating this , we refused space to individuals or firms who co ul d not be recommended to our subsc rib ers.

Lord Percy is hame to tell his mither "0 mither, 0 mither," says he , " 0 , sal! I wed the Lady Anne And let fair Alice be free?"

"The Lady Anne has gowd and kye; Fair Alice naught but love; And the little love fair Alice has Will go on wings as a dove "

Lincoln , 35; Id a Gr o ve , 10.

The team, accompanied by :\lr. l\1ays , was met at the Ida Grove station by practica ll y the whol e town a nd were treated royally.

\Vithin five m i nutes after the ball had be e n kicked off, Lahr made the first touchdown. Marsh, Ida Grove ' s fast quarterback, kicked a field goal and in the second quarter made a long run on a fake forward pass which soon brought a touchdown for Ida Grov e

In the last quarter Lincoln worked a large number of Coach Lindley's trick plays. These completely baffled Jda Grove , and one man after another was sent over for a touchdown until t he score was the largest Lincoln has made since 190 8.

The line-up was as follows:

Many of the students h eart iy en joyed "Twelfth Night" as given by the C oburn players The play was a true comedy from beginning to end. The ridiculous picture that ;vralvolio (Mr. Coburn) made as h -e entered with his broa d smile and cross garters will b e rememb j;! r e d by all who saw it. Just to recall the rollicking fun of the drunken revelers and their difficulties in mounting the stairs with their lighted can dles makes one smile.

RECEP T ION THURSDAY

Although the attendance at the reception to parents and guardians of first year high school pupils was sma ll er than d esi red, y-et the meeting was a pleasant and profitable one.

The boys and gir l s of th e c lass aided the guests on arrival in finding the teac h e rs of the differ-e nt subjects. A social time in getting acquainted, and in learn ing of some conditions in s c hool, was passed until word came to meet in the auditorium While the aud ie nc e ass e mbled, Mr. Harry Pa rks ' orchestra furnish ed music. A quartette of present and former hi gh school boys sang enjoyably. Later the band surprised the listeners by the number of instruments and the skill with which they wer e played. Ve r y evident and full appreciat ion was shown.

Some changes were made in the program. Dr. Stevens , who had b ee n invited to represent the school board , and Mr. Northrup, the parents, were unable to atte nd, :\1r. Mays spoke of the purpose of the meeting, of the

The foliDwing year he was e l ected captain of the second tea,m in which place h e showed up good. This year he has p laye d on the first team in his usual position, as right half-back. Guenzel has received man y hard knocks but a l ways gets into the game again. This year's team has often been praised as an ideal bunch of fellows. Guenzel is one of the best examples of the good student, the athlete and the booster. He has been ca rrying five studies every semester and be en carryin g th e in we ll- and th at beside s regular, stiff practice wit'h the team. The best of all his attributes, however, is t h at he works for and pushes everything that is for the good of the school. He is a booster of the high es t type.

value of pare nts and teachers working together, how this could be done b es t when there was mutual unders tanding. He then introduced Mr. Hunter, the superintendent His subj ec t was what the public has a right to expect f r om th e schools. He showed the changed conditions the ne e d of a more di ve rsified course of study, and e mphasized the great importance o f surroundings 1that would send from the public schoo ls young people w i th sound bodies and ri g htly directe d characters. :\fr Taylor of the University High School, who has a son in the e nt e ring c lass, talked very plainly f rom the point of v iew of the parent, of the attitude of the pare nts and their responsibility in making lawabiding citizens.

CICERONI A N ASSEMBLY

The assembly last Tu es day was in charge of th e o ldest soci-ety in the school , the Ciceronian society. But a l though th e soc1e-ty is now quite ancient, the pro g ram given was very up-to-date.

1\'lr. Morgan gave two selections on the piano , and :\1iss Bertha E. C a l kins, head of the d e partm e nt of dramatic art and oratory of the Linco l n Musical College, gave two very enjoyab le readings. One of them was one of Mr Doo l ey's dialogu es. It was rendered so we ll that the entire audience was rapt in attention

Mr. :\'lcVicker, the president of the Ciceronians, next introduced Dr Leonhar d t, whose ta l k on the inefficiency of the present city government and the advantage of the commission form of government was very interesting to the students. He emphasized the fact that the success of any government depends upon the men chosen to carry it on

The school was very much honored by the pr e senc e of :\lr. Coburn of the Coburn players His talk on the theater was especially interesting from the fact that be i s an actor himself. He ill u st r ated his points by very apt incidents tal{en from his personal exper iences He spoke of the lack of the present-day American theater as an educational institution and brought out the advantages of theaters owned by the government.

The intrest that •:VIr. Coburn created among Vhe students concerning Shaker spearian plays, -e specially " Twelfth N ight ," induced fifty-one of the High School students and six of the teache r s to a,ttend the Wednesday matinee

To the Editor of t he Advocate:

With what impr ession do you think Mr. Coburn left the high school l ast Tuesday? Doubtless if h e eve r t hink s of this school again , he will think of that pa r t of the schoo l which participated in the demonstt·ation of illmann e rs, while h e spoke. They not on l y injured the finer sensibilities of Mr. Coburn, but, what is worse, they put a stamp of poor quality on the impressio n of Lincoln High in that gentleman's mind.

LINCOLN RUNS AWAY WITH ST. JOSEPH

Lincoln , 53; St. Joseph , 0.

The team went to St. Joseph, Missouri, Saturday , w h ere they met a team which although somewhat li ghter was plucky and fought hard th r ough the en tir·e game.

L in coln kicked off to St. Joseph and St. Joe came b ack with a beautiful forward pass and through a fumble and severa l penalties to Linco ln, r eache d Lincoln 's five yard line. Th en by a series of line plunges Lincoln carried the ba ll up the field. Before the first quarter was over Lincoln made a touchdown.

Gu e n zel made a good forward pass to Allen, which brought a touchdown. Otherwise Lincoln used straight line plunges mostly until the score rea c h ed 53 to 0.

Allen, Guenzel and Ca pt. Doyle did good work. 'Wi l ke in his n ew posis ion as fu ll p l ayed a great game, and Richards p l ayed with the same sty l e that mad·e him as consp i cuous in the game w ith Ida Grove.

PRESIDENT SENIOR CLASS.

Howard \V'ilson , as president , is piloting that g r eat class of 1913 thru its la st year in L. H. S. He is showing exce ll e nt ability , which manifests itself in various ways Wilson has been active in class politics since he was a freshman. H i s ability as a mana ger was first brou ght to the notice of the c las s l ast yea r . when, as c h air · man of th e committ ee , he did much toward making t h e .Junio r ,.Senio r r eC·e ption a g reat success.

Wilson has a lways showed a big interest in school affairs, whether athletics , d e bating or class. Last year

WHY NOT CLEAN THE TURKEY " GOOD" !

In other words, why not see Wendell Phillips High of ·Chicago and L i ncoln play at University field on Tnrkey Day? Wende ll Phillips is said to be one of the strongest schools in the :\'lississippi valley, and ev<1ryone is looking for a hard game. A big crowd is certain to b e th ere, as it is t h e only Turkey Day game in Lincoln, and we want to show them how to yell

Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah , Lincoln High School, (faster)

Rah , Rah, Rah, Rah , Lincoln High Sehoo l , (speedy)

Rah, Rail , Rah, Rah, Lincoln High School, Hooray , Lincoln

At the York game the yelling was very poor, despite the d esperate efforts of " Shorty'• :\'[organ , our valiant c h eer leader, and when the crowd yelled Lincoln , rah , 'Lincoln, rail, Linco ln High School--'?\e-bras-ka, Rah, Rah Rah, Ris, Boom, Boom, L. H S Hoorah , Hoorah, Lincoln High School, Ne,braska, Hoorah, Hoo rah , Linco ln Hig h Sch?ol, Ne-braska , it sounded as thou gh they hadn't an ounce of strength in their bodies. That was not so bad , but n ext Thursday we must show them that Lincoln High has got spirit and "pep ," and Wendell Phillips may go back to Chicago minus some of h er fin e feath·ers

At the assembly tomorrow have these yells l ea rned and bring th e Advocate with you, so we may a ll sing our:

It certainly great pleasur 0 that the students in L. H S. are supporting th e Ad v oc ate so vigorously. Our fondest hopes are being r eali ze d thru the support of the students, and in r et urn we will do everything we can. The stud e nt support is three· fold: the good work of the English classes, the numerous con t ribution s from the school at lar ge, and the patroni zin g of our advertisers.

The materia l from the first two sources is so plentiful and so good that we have added an additional four pages in this issue , which is made po ss ibl e b y the fact that m10rchants are read y and anx•ious to advertise. This shows that the Advocate subscribers ar e patronizing our advertisers. Plans are being laid for b ette r things , how much better you can decide

We quote a portion of a letter from the captain of the South Omaha football team addressed to :\1r. Mays: "We l earned -today that Harmon , a member of your team , had rece ived a serious injury and was dangerous l y ill as a result of t h e LincolnJSouth Omaha game. We were very sorry to hear of this and in behalf of the South Omaha High Schoo l team I wis h to express the truest sympathy and hopes for a speedy recovery.'' The spirit i n this l etter speaks for itself. Harmon has r ecovered, tho he i s not playing. ·

To the Editor of the Advocate: Ca n not someth i ng b e done in order to abate the nerve-wracking, screeching noises, such as the blowing of automobile horns, w h istles and sirens that emanates from the garag.e situated across the street from L inco l n High Schoo l ? Onl y the other day one of the senior English c lasses situated on the north side of the adm in istration building was forced to abando n recitation for fu ll y half a period on account of the unaccountable satisfac · tion somebody received from the continued b lowing of a siren whist le.

The following complaint h as b een r eg iste r ed a ga in st t h e fresh freshman boys by young la die s b e longing to the class of 1915:

On assem bly d ays th e gi rls sitting n ea r the freshman bo ys are very much annoyed by th e odor of poor p e rfum e. The girls do not us e poor p e rfume , and positive l y assert that the boys are guilty

The boys ought to r ea li ze that the g irls h ave delicate tempe r aments, and even thou g h they are fresh, ought to quit using perfume or get a b ette r grade.

"I see it all now, Mary, as it was that bright, beautiful a utumn day so many years ago. Dick and I had taken the littl e one to see th€ new house It was new then, dear, for they were just finishing the new cement steps and the front wa lk. Dick and I were you n g and the house was the home of our dreams.

" I can ' t make you see how beautiful all the wor ld was to me then , but you may know some day.

" We had chosen a lot on the outskirts of th e village and of course 'lS the wo r k progressed we thought that th e most wonderfu l things were happening

'As we walked across the yard, w e adm ir ed the house and Son was l a u glling with g lee from Nen ' s sho uld er, where h e was perched. W e e nter e d the house by the side door and went on a tour of inspection.

" When we came downstairs th e workmen had finished the walk and the three steps leadin g from the porch and had sprink l ed sand over all.

"W hil e Dick and I were admiring the ceiling of the porch, Son wa lk ed off of the porch a nd start e d o n down t h e wa lk , saying, ' See , ma ' ma; se e papa, nico sand.'

"At first we were annoyed because the cement was still wet and unset, but then we h ad to lau gh at t h e queer ca pers h e was cutting. He stood on his feet and bending down to uch e d the walk with both his little hands. and then told us that it was soft just li ke my bread dough.

" Thu s he went down the walk doing something diff e r ent in each of the blocks until he came to the last one, when facing us he cried out, 'Dea d boy. Papa can't wake m e ,' and lay down stretching his tiny body out to its full length.

" Dick went and pick ed him up so as not to spoil the walk, and th e n we

w e nt back to the old house. We were v e ry merry and So n was ha v in g great fun over his antic.

"In two short weeks , Mary, the row of impre ssions in the walk of the n ew home was about a ll we had lef t to remind us of our dar lin g, for we had no pictures. And now , dear , you know w h y, even as o ld as we a r e, we cannot lea v e or give up the home for ever. "

One day whil e the employer was out a g r een lookin g count r y chap came in to buy a new suit. Just as the young Jew was selling him a s uit for $25 whic h was mark e d $15 his emp lo yer came in. After the c us tomer had gone he r ebuked him , and asked him what scriptural reason he could give for his action. to which th e young man replied, "011, that's easy, ' He was a stranger an d I took him in.'

And she ca ll s me down from the attic , And asks me to take off my c lothes , 'With her able-bodied assistance I get myself ready to pose.

He was your gues-t, to be sure. You had been taught to b e polite to visit<Jrs , so you rose and dragged your feet around the house, First Lie ga:mbo l ing before you He le d tile way out of the :yard and up tile long, dusty road. As the gate clicked beh-ind you, your comrade ca ll ed.

"Let's run races."

You on ly plodded along behind with. bent head w h ile he chased butterflies Or sang li ttle songs in a high, shrill voice . At last you sank down on a stone and l eane d you r head on your bands . First Lie sat down beside you and began to torment an ant. A little bird tiew down on the f e nce opposi t e you and cocking his head, burst into a flood of song. Sudden l y you sat erect. His song was a r epeated accusation, "You tol 'd a-! You to l d a-!" but e very time he came to that dreadful word 'he stopped short and fluttered his feaJthers.

A blind rage seized you. Before y ou

kruew what you were doing, you had thrown a. S•tone. The little bird clung to tile fence for a moment and then fell into the grass. In a moment you were be side t he little c r eature. There it lay a bloody heap of feathers. As you gazed in dumb remorse it lifrted its head chirping, "Y ou told a -!" then fell back-dead.

" \.Yell, it deserved to be k ill ed," said a voice Yo u turned It was First Lie.

You had stood as much as you could. \.Yith a bitter wa il you flung yourself down beside the little bird and wept, and wept You had told a lie and killed a bird. Do you remember the agon y of that moment as you l ay th ere in the grass alone with Mr. I• irst Lie.

"I to l d a lie. I to l d a lie! " you sobbed. "Oh, I wish I were dead!"

"Here, now, none of tha.t," said your comrade gruffly." You can't die 'ca use I won't l et you . Besid es if you did, what good would it do? I'd die too and be with you. Then you couldn 't get •into heaven '9ause they don 't let my fami ly in there ."

You sat up and tried in vain to swa ll ow your sobs. "I' m goin' home an'-an' tell Aunt Sarah."

Everybody Knows the L-C-K Fountain

At your words Mr. F i rst Lie began to laugh He l a u g h ed unt il he bad to ho ld his si d es, then he ro led in the grass in an ecstasy of mirth. F ina ll y between gus•ts of merriment he shrilled.

" Going to te ll Aunt Sa r ah! Oh, my word! Say, do you know wha:t will happen? She' ll tell your mother. Yes , si r . Most l ike ly your mother wouldn't fo r give you. Mothers never d o forgive fe ll ows when they k ill bir s s and tell lies My advice is to keep still. Nobod y w ill ever fi nd out."

The wocld went suddenly black and you could only huddle there in the grass. "\VhaJt if mothe r sh'ou ld find out What if she wou l dn't forgive you! What if you couldn't be her little boy a ny longer. Oh, it was terrible , terrible. The r e woul d never be any one to hold you tight when you felt bad. or tie your finger up when your j ack-knife slipp e d . You moaned weak ly at w h ich " F i rst Lie laughed cheerfully.

"Come on and let's go home. I don't propose to stay h e re all nig;ht Bu t say, doru 't you tell for I've to l d you what'll happen if you do!"

You · got to your feet and started home, your compan ion's arm through your's, As you opened your g ate you had decid e d not to tell. Up •to the front w•a l k you ·stumbled and sank down on the steps. You hoped that Aunt Sarah wouldn't see yo u u ntil you f e lt better. As for mother, well, you almost wished she would stay away fo r e ver. Sudden l y you heard a familiar sound in the ha ll , the soft murmur of sHk and the tap of ha:stenin.g steps. It couldn ' t be 'the heav y footed Aunt Sarah. It was only too true--your mother come home. You heard the screen open She had seen you as you huddled there on the step.

LINCOLN, NEBR., DECEMBER 4, 1912

ANOTHER BONEHEAD BY THE POLICE FORCE.

Five policemen had been hired at a <:ost of $2 per man to do police work at the C hicago game. The one supposedly on duty inside of the fence spent his time watching the game. Conseq uently, Mr. Lester, who was not paid anything for helping keep order, had to spank the ur chin who was annoying spectator-s from under the stand. A half drunken fellow interfered and tried to knock Mr Lester down Mr. Lester promptly floored him. Then another trouble-seeker, who had never tasted of Mr. Lester' s pugilistic powers , drew the r egular policeman from the side lines where he was watching the game and demanded that Mr Lester be arrested. This policeman(?) would not listen to the explanation s of Mr. Mays and Mr Lester, but took the word of the other fe llow, who had started the scrap, and arrested Mr. Lester.

LINCOLN DEFEATS WENDELL PHILIPS

Lincoln 10, Chicago o.

In a game featured by rough playing and many disputes and wrangles, Lincoln High won its last game of the season by defeating Wende ll Phillips High of Chicago. The final score was ten to nothing, the result of a place kick , executed from a difficult angle and a touchdown. The visitors were much heavier than the local boys and were also quite speedy They depended chiefly on end runs, which they played from an open formation, while Lincoln was just as successful in breaking through Chicago's heavier line.

Essig, the visitors ' right tackle, was called back time after time and seldom failed to gain around end. Some of his runs were for from fifteen to twenty-five yards.

In the second quarter , after Lincoln had carried the ball to Chicago's twenty-five yard line , Wilke fell back an d kicked the only place kick executed by the hom e team this season. Chicago threatened in the third quarter, but Ray Doyle spoiled their chances by a flying tackle , bringing the runner to earth with a clear field before him. Lincoln's final score came in the latter part of the fourth quarter with only a few minutes to play. Wilke punted to Cummings , the Chicago quarterback, who fumbled, Allen recovering the ball and raced to Chicago ' s fifteen yard line before he was stopped. Lincoln was then held for four downs, but Ch icago was off-side on the fourth and Lincoln was given half the distanc e to the goa l line. Allen then squeezed through center for the touchdown. Time was called immediately after the kick-off.

In the early part of the game Ray Doyle received a painful bruise in his neck and later Will Westover had a large gash cut in his upper lip. o serious injuries r esu lted from the game (Continued to page 7)

CENTER.

·warren Sprague ' s nerve and steady playing has contributed much towards Lincoln ' s success in footba ll this year His position as center calls for a coo l h ead , which he certainly has. He outclassed C hicago's star center thro u gho ut the game last Thursday and intercepted a forward pass for a ga in of fifteen yards. The center has little opportunity for spectacular playing. His job is hard and bears little reward. While we shot!t for those who carry the ball to victory , we must not forget those who with steady playing and coo l heads make it possible for Lincoln to win.

Sprague ' s home is in Denver. He became attached to Lincoln High and came all the way down here to school this year He is a good student and will graduate this year. He has a reputation as being a " good fellow " and somewhat of a humorist.

THANKSGIVING ASSEMBLY.

P. general Thanksgiving assembly was held Wednesday morning at 10 o ' clock. Musical numbers were furnished by Miss Gertrude Palmer and Mrs. Carpenter of Chicago. Miss Palmer entertained the students with several numbers on the xylophone, and Mrs. Ca rpenter sang several solos, Irish songs , which were very much appreciated by the students.

Dr. Stein gave the address of the morning. He emphasized our many reasons for being thankful. the great country in which we live, the t rem endous advances it has made, and the multitude of advantages that we now enjoy; the lu xury and swiftness of

travel, when Japan and the United States are closer together than ad- · joining states were over half a century ago. He made us realize the opportunities offered by our great school system with its public schools, co lleges and universities. In the United States, more than in any other country, t he lack of wealth is no handicap to success In no other country have so many of their great men ri sen from the ranks as in the United States. Dr. Stein closed his address, hoping that we would have an additional cause for thanksgiving by winn in g the game from Chicago.

The football sq uad were seated on the stage during the program , and gave as their part a ve ry interesting song entitled "Linco ln Will Shine Tonight. " The applause was too much for some of the boys, who thought they had better give another selection, which was rendered with great harmony and success.

Tho assembly was adjourned until 1 2: 45, when songs and yells were practiced for the Chicago gam e

BON DS UP FOR HEARING.

This week , beginning December 2, the matter of school bonds for the new High School is before the supreme court. The charge brought against the school board is that the contract which was given to Gould & Son of Omaha was not according to the powers granted the board by law and that the amount of money necessary to pay for the building would be far in excess of the funds available.

The Board was enjoined from proceeding further by the district court. By special request the supreme court advanced the hearing to December 2. Mr. A llen , attorney for the Board, has prepared a brief of over fifty pages which it i s earnestly hop ed will have much influ ence with the jud ges who hold the fate of Lincoln High School in their hands.

B I. G.

Have you heard of the B I. G., And the things we seek to be? How we study education, And the best manipulation Of the school?

We began with old Conf ucius , And his teachings sure confuse us · "Lear n the Sacred Books and ings ,'.' Was the fundamental teaching Of his school.

Then to Socrates we wandered, "Know led ge is virtue ,' ' there we pondered-"Individual inspiration" Is the liberal education Of the G reek school.

Next the Romans of the Middle Ages , And the unromantic sages Studying the dingy pages While shut in deep dark cages Of the Roman school.

VJ'e have pondered why the teachers Are such " everlasting preach ers," But no_w we're students of Rousseau, And Will show you why they do so In·our school.

vVhen you meet us in the hall On your knees politely fall, Try to imitate such maidsFor our aim is "Best in Grades" In this school.

The football season is over and our team has allowed only two teams to score on them The school has shown wonderfu l spirit in supporting this team, in fact, we cannot help but think that the enthusiasm and sup· po rt of the school was a la rge factor in helping th e te am overcome heavier and formidable elevens.

So far Lincoln has been showing up well other than in athletics. This year is a banner yea r as far as grades and good work in the class rooms go. We ha ve only three weeks of school until vacation and then only four weeks before the semester e nds. About sill\ weeks to d ec ide whether your g rad es will be high or low orflunk.

"How well we enjoyed the i.alk given by Ml'. Raymond Robins." This is the substance of t he remarks h ea rd around the halls. Now, why ao tho High School students i n th is mann e r?

The r eason is a ver y simp!._, .:>ne In th o first plac e, Mr. Robins' talk was about something which was of vita l interest to the students. He had something to say, and aaid it in &uch a way as to command the students' attention. To be frank, the ave r age high school student is not yet prepared to ferret out from a tlowery, high-so unding speech the simple m essage w hich the speake r w ishes to convey. To be s ure, su<:h a speech sounds ni ce to the ear, but it is li!;e a lullaby which makes one wa nt to go to sleep. Undoubtedly every speal\e r who addresses the students has something to say and probabl y says it to the best of hi s ability, yet he veils it in such high-sounding phrases that fail to see the point. Half of ns n ever r emember a speaker ' s nam e , and usually the other half do not remember what ho says.

On the other hand, take the speaker who u ses plain En g lish and comes down to our l evel. Nearly a ll of u s w ill remember something of what he says. I have in mind a man who addressed the assembly this time la st year-the secretary of the nationa l Y. M. C. A. He made a great impression upon the body of the students just because he told us of

Men a ll over the country who have a m es sage for young men and women are willing to address u s. Men like Mr. Hunter, Mr. Pinneo , Mr. Cohor n, and others, who know how to ta lk to young peopl e. My plea is for more of such talks.

LINCOLN,

NEBR., DECEMBER 11, 1912

Superintendent Hunter presided at the las t football rally for the yea r. It was the lon gest and best chape l of the season. The stage was beautifully decorated by the Kilkenny Society

Paul Ha lb ers l eben told of the Second teams game wit h wahoo. The othe r members of the Second team spoke as follows: Hager , Andrews, Young, H u s he, Ben nison , vVatkins and Kirkpatrick.

Harold lVIorgan l ed in the "Li ncoln Rail ' ' and other yeUs.

Each of the season ' s games were taken by members of t he first t ea m Car l Wilke spoke on the South Omaha game; Warren Sprague , the York game; Ernest Guenzel told of the Hastings game; Ralph L a hr gave the t rip to Ida Grove; Raymond vVes tover, next year's captain, told about the St. Joseph trip ; the game with Omaha was taken up by Ralph Doyl e; Frank Boehmer told abo ut the game with Des Moines; the greatest game of the year, with C hicago , was taken by Cap tain Ra y Doyle, and then Coac h Lindle y summed up the entire football season.

"Ls" were awarded to the follow· in g men: Guenzel, Ray Doyle, Ralph Doyle , vV. Lahr, Allen , R. Westover , Hawthorne, Wilke, Richards, Sprague, True , Boehmer , Quick, McCloy and Harmon

Halbersleben, Watkins, Young, Andrews, Hager , Kirkpatrick , Bennison and Busche recei ve d " R's. "

Mr Hunter acted as chairman. He seems to be very proud of the boys , especially of their excellent records , concerning which Mr. Mays spoke.

DEBATING.

The meeting for the try-outs for the State Debating League will be held in the auditorium W e dnesday evening, Dec. 11, at 7: 30. The question to be discussed will b e: Resolved , That American cities should adopt a commission form of government.

Up to date only five persons have sent in their names . There should be more boys in the L H. S interested in this subject. We urg e all interested to come and try out whether his speech is well prepared or not. The judges will pick the ones that prove to be the best material.

Thursday , Dec. 12, is the date of the try-outs for the Omaha debate. It is important that we have a strong team for this contest This, as you know, is a debate between the two schools only. A trophy known as the "Amherst C up" is offered to the winners by some alumni of the Amherst college of Massachusetts. The Omaha team has won this cup twice in suesession. Should they win this time it would mean that they would keep the cup permanently. As very few names have been sent in for this debate, there is an opportunity for some good

LEAD'ER OF THE BAND.

Mr. Bailey is the skillful leader of the lar gest and most successfu l band ever organi zed in L. H. S. The band , composed of sume thirty members , has prospered greatly this year. They have helped much toward th e success of the football season Without a doubt th ey outplayed every high high school band that ve ntured near Lincoln this year and looke d b e tter, too, w ith th e ir uniforms and a ll. They are now practicing music more suitable for indoor playing Mr. Bailey is also leader of a very promising orchestra of about ten pieces The band and orche <: tra may give a joint concert at some future dat e. Mr. Bailey comes from Hoopeston, Ill. He is a graduate of Greer College , where he afterwards taught for six years. He has charge of a large share of the business department and of the night school connected with L incoln High. Both as a teacher and as a leader he is very efficient and popular.

unknown men to make a place It is not necessary that they be members of some debating society , if they hav e a good command of the English language and a good, clear thinking brain

The question for this debate will be: Resolved, That the general adoption of the single tax would benefit conditions in the United States.

This is a simple question , one in which we boys who are soon to be voters should be interested. Come out, boys. Can't we bring the Amherst cup back to Lincoln High?

LITERARY NUMBER.

Th e busin es s managemen t of the Advocate has been very successful this year. As a result of the efforts of the business manager the Advocate will b e able to giv e its readers more than wa s• promised at the beg inning of the semester

The Advocate board has decid ed to publish a spec ia l L it e r ary a nd Or ga ni _za tion number , to be distributed before the Christmas vacation This number will be able to accommodate some of the excellent lit er ary material produced by L. H. S students. Furthermore. it will be a booster for all the organizations in Linco ln High School. A capable art staff has been wo rkin g on the issue so that, in its class at least , it will be a work of art

The aim of the management is to make this numb er better than anything ever published in L incoln Hil\'h Sc hool. Photographs of a ll the societies and other organizations will appear in this issue

This number is not a substitution for a regul a r issue , but will be e ntirely se parate. However, no extra charge will be made to regular subscribers. Extra copies may be had by ordering at the office early this week . WESTOVER CAPTAIN.

Tuesday morning , December 3, a meeting of the "L " men of the football squad called to e le ct a captain for 1913. I n a brief speech to the boys, Mr. Hunter emphasized the importance of unity a nd good feeling among the m e mbers of a football team Raymond Westover was unanimously elected captain for next year. Mr. is particularly fitted for the position , since he is a natural leader and has' had experie nce in the past season in acting as captain

RECEPTION FOR PARENTS OF UPPER CLASSMEN.

The reception last Friday night h e ld by the members of the faculty for the parents of the upp e r classmen was a great success About 300 persons were present.

The Y. W. C A. gir ls were havin g a kid party at the Y. W. They · came over to the High school and went up on the stage, where they entertained the assemblage with songs and yells -well rendered , too.

SENIORS SLOUCH.

LINCOLN, NEBR., DECEMBER 18,

1912

Have Very Successful Slouch and Masuerade.

Friday, Dec. 13th, the class of '13 held their annual slouch day. It was in every way a success. Seniors had offered to guard the buildings the night before in order that no one should paint '13's on them. One of the girls' societies, composed of seniors, loyally offered to entertain the boys who went to guard However, Mr. Mays was able to obtain two policemen to do guard work. This they did effectively.

The lively assembly in the morning was opened by a ll the slouching seniors crossing the stage in their costumes. There were some excellent costumes. Mr. Bixby gave an interesting and humorous ta lk. We certain l y enjoyed his little humor verses and others given. Miss Ruth Rush sang excellently. Her singing was appreciated. Mr. C. LeRoy Meisinger played two piano solos. They were well rendered and much enjoyed. After the assembly the slouchy seniors went to their c las ses. The lower classes are · said to have appeared in their classes also.

Friday evening a masquerade party was given. There was a good attendance and some more good costuming. We cannot help but mention the costume of Mr. Mays -a red-headed farm hand. We know now where his boyhood was spent. 'Between the dances different games we're played. Punch was served throughout the evening. Much credit is due to the slouch day committee for the efficient manner in which they managed a most successful slouch

CONFERENCE AT BEATRICE.

You ' ve heard that little ditty entitled "Lincoln Will Shine Tonight?" Well , at the High School Leaders' Conference at Beatrice , Lincoln shone morning, noon and night The Lincoln delegation wa'lil in the spotlight during the whole conference.

At the meeting Saturday afternoon, Harold Hall responded to the address of welcome and Mr. Wa l ker of the Lincoln Y. M C. A. was elected secretary of the conference

Mr Mays gave an address at the Sunday morning meeting of the conference , and altogether , Lincoln High's delegation just about "took the pi e" when it came to doing things.

Maybe it was because Lincoln sent about twice as many delegates as any other school.

There were five regular business sessions of the conference, but i n addition to these, a supper was given for the delegates by the First {' hristian church on Saturday evening and an oratorio by the M. E. church on Sunday afternoon. At the supper entertainment was furnished by an excellent orchestra and by the songs and yells given by the Lincoln High delegates.

CAPTAIN BASKETBALL TEAM.

Phil Collins is captain of the basketball team-a team that is sure to be a winner, according to him. Phil played on the first team last year and is playing left gua.rd this year. Friday this team plays its first schedul ed game of the season with York.

Phil has two brothers, Sidney and Army, who contributed much to Lincoln's football teams. He was born and has lived in M'Ontana and is a true westerner. Every year he comes down to Lincoln high, having spent the summer in "cow punching" or doing other work on the wide Montana plains. He is a valuable asset of the junior class.

The oratorio was also very fine and was greatl y enjoyed by all present. Addresses were given by some of the best speakers in the west, and the general discussions , etc ., were very instructive and interesting.

Any of the delegates will be glad to give more information about what was said and don e at the conference. Ask them

FIRST BASKETBALL GAME.

Oh, you basketball! The first basketball game of the season will be played Friday, December 20 , with York York always has a strong team. They won from us twice last year. Here ' s hoping that Lincoln High will g i ve her basketball representatives as substantial and enthusiastic support as she did the football men. As has been said many times

NuMBER f1

before, every member of the High School is, to a certain extent, responsible for the success of school activities and what we particularly want to boost now is our basketball team. So, when the season tickets are put out, it is up to the student body to come forward and buy them and make this season of basketball a success.

DEBATING TRYOUTS.

Tryouts for the debating team were he ld last Wednesday, December 11. This team is the one which will debate with the state leagu e teams The question was: Resolved, That American cities should adopt a commission form of government. Six men tried out and four made the team. These were Leonard Trester, Harry Gayer, Hugh McVicker and Bruce Raymond. These fo ur are working hard on the question so that they will be fully prepared when the first debate is held in January. The tryouts for the Omaha team will be held on Thursday, December 19, and it is hoped that a large numb er will tr:v out, because we must win from Omaha this year in order to get possession of the Amherst cup.

ANNUAL BANQUET HELD.

Last Saturday evening the fourth annual banquet in honor of the football team was held. This is the first time the footba ll banquet was opened to the school and tickets were sold. There were seventy-six present

The dinner consisted of six courses Mr Mays acted as toastmaster. The following responded to the toasts: Heroes of 1912-Ray Doyle. How It Struck Me-\V E. Warner: The Game from the Inside-Russell Allen. The Reserves-Basil Mc Cloy. The Team-Frank Lind ley. Fair Rooters-Farley Young. Why I Value an "L. " -Vand erbilt Harmon.

E D ITORIAL

Again we are able to give you more of th e Advocate. Two numbers are issued this week The regular Advo· cate and a literary and organization numbe r The reasons for making these two the same week are because the literary number is not a newspaper and then we want to give every subscriber more than he paid for ,- to the extent of our ability.

We want you to know that the Advocate is boosting L. H. S. and that it is t-rying to encourage everything worth while and good for the school. It is for you to get into this movement and boost with the rest.

"You may please de c line 'kiss'," said a teacher one day,

To a miss of sixteen , who was pretty and sweet

"Why, I hardly know how, but I'll try anyway,' '

She replie d with a smile bewitch· ingly sweet.

"It's a noun that's quite common, and when it ' s desired

It may be quite proper , I'm happy to say

It's gender is common, second person required, And it' s plural in form in a singular way

Its case is objective, you plainly can see,

Because it's an object so ardently sought , It agrees in most cases with you and with me.

But according to no rule by school· mast e rs is taught

I've made a mistake, very likely, somewhere-

If I have I assure you it' s no fault of mine , For I think to ask me was not very fair , When you know that a kiss is hard to decline. "

In the other boxes are Annie Sneddon, Zora Northrup, Katherine Meyers and Marie Mick le. The s u bstitutes are Gabelle Siddons and Mildred Neimeier.

Miss Richards has had some diffi culty in getting p layers for the junior and senior captain ball teams Not many of the upper class gir ls are taking physical training and some of those who do are "so busy, " or "can ' t catch a ball to save their lives. "

Miss Marian Sweezy subsittuted Tuesday for Miss Richards, who was ill.

CHRISTMAS GO OD T O THE SCHOOL B O ARD.

This was a decision from the supreme co urt that they h ad not excee d ed t h e ir authority in the matter of l etti n g the contract f or the new high school building. Thus we are again certain of having a new building And f urth e rmore it is said t h a t t here will be no more attempts at opposing the work The contractors have begun work on the inside matel'ial for the building. Nothin g will be done at the g rounds until ea rly in the spri n g when the work will go on li>e rrily without in terru ption . Many of the Freshmen , who al'e expecting to u se the building , in tend to hold a ce l ebration. Be not too demonst!' ative Freshmen! It may prove to be only a dream again. W'ait until it's hatched

Two policemen gua rd ed the build-ings t h e night before s lou ch day and frightened t h e yo un g men who wanted to paint.

Ove r 300 of them will be started with the fall term.

With the opening of the fall school term over 200 open air schools and fresh air classes for tuberculosis and anaemic children , and also for all children in certain rooms and grades, will be in operation in various parts of the United States, according to a statement published by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis

All of these schools, the association says, ha ve b ee n established since January , 1907 , when the first inst i tution of this character was opened in Providence , R. I. On January 1, 1910 , t h e re were only thirteen open air sc hools in t hi s country and a year late r the numb e r h a d b een increased only to twenty-nine. Thus the real g rowth in this movement has been within the l ast two years.

:\lassachusetts now l eads the states with e i g ht y-six fr es h air sc hools and c la sses for tuberculosis , anemic and other ch ildr e n , Bo s ton alone having over eighty. :-<ew York comes next with twenty-nine. Ohio is third with twenty-one. Ope n a ir sc hools have now been estab li shed in nearly fifty citi e s in nin e te e n differ e nt states

Based on figures of population and mortality furnished by Un ited States bureau of the census, i t is estimated that no t l ess than 100 ,000 c hildren n ow in school in the Unite d States will di e of tuberculosis before they are eig h t e en years of age, or that abo ut 7,000 of these children die annually from t his one disease. Estimating that on a n averag e eac h child who dies of tuberculosis has had six years of schooling, the aggregate loss to this country in wasted education eac h year amounts to well over one million dollars.

This loss and much of the incident suffering could be materially de· creased if open air schools or classes for these children and those who are sickly and anemic were provided The national association estimates that there shoul d be one such sch o ol for every 25,000 population , especially in cities

E D ITORIAL.

We wish yo u a Happy New Year and something more-w€ wis h yo u the ability and stre n gth necessary to stick to your New Year's resolutions. Perhaps it is onl y one r€solution, but one resolution whole and soun d i s wo r th a thousand broken ones. One of the b est resolutions yo u ca n mak e i s to do yo ur work in th€ c lassrooms c on scien tiou s l y and to the best of y our ability for the n ext two wee ks . If you make that resolution and stic k to it, yo u wo n 't have to f€ar the exa min ations w hich a r e du e in a bout two weeks.

A mistake was unint e ntionall y mad e in the last issue w hich we h ere wish to correct It was stated t h at York b ea t LincolJl in both games of basketball last year. The r eve rse is trueLincoln beat York both games.

We are sorry to see that t h e storm doors have rec e ived such a nice coat of pai nt It h as too much suggestion of p e rmanen cy. Of co urs e, down in our hearts we reali ze that we will have to ke e p on holding classes in th€se old buildings , but we do lik e to fee l that we will hav e a ne w building some day-. Anything that looks perman e nt dampern; our hopes. We belie ve that this painting of the storm doors was indirectly caused by th e same p e ople who are trying to hold off our new school and doing a ll the y can to impair the eyes ight , h ealth an d mental ability of high school students by keeping them in th e old buildings .

The spirit shown the Advocate by the business men of Lincoln is as warm as could be possibly wished for We wish especially to mention Mr. Dole of the Dole studio. Through his aid we were enab led to secure at a very short notice the pictures of the organi:t:ations publish e d in the last n u mber of the Ad v ocate Although very much rushed by Christmas business he took time to be very careful with the pictures, and thus obtained suc h ex ce ll ent results He did not ask

After a hard fought contest, the Lincoln High basket ball team were declared victors of the S. 0. lads by a score of 25 to 18, last Frida y night. The two teams were c l osely mat ched and each put up a stiff fight , but our boys proved a littl e too hard a proposition for the meat-packe rs to solve.

L€ese, as forward, played a star game for L. H. S., shooting 6 of the 7 goals made by Lincoln. Ed Albrecht, guard, threw the 7th basket.

We do not appreciate as much as we should, the work of Coac h Lindley in building up our athletic teams. Every team we played in football , this season, declared our bo ys to have been "co ll ege coached. " Now it ' s bask et ba l l.

towards the c lo se of t h e semest e r , we find ours e lv es beset with ext ra work on all sides. Neglected work and re v iew s urrounds us. Tim e lost in unexpect e d d e lays must be made up .

Respond to the best of yo ur ability and tr y not to g rumbl e or c omplain

In its columns the Advocate this year has g i ve n s m a ll attention to exchanges It is customary for many hi g h school papers to print comments on the various exchanges. However, special attention has been p ai d to sending c opies in excha)lge , thus resulting in a good list of school pap e rs \liT e are g lad to have received these Many show r e markable a bility in e diting and illustrating

As much as possibl e these papers have been placed where the students may re a d th e m It is our belief that an ex change column is of little interest to the students , but students are int e rest e d in looking through o t her school papers

REG I STRATION.

What a m e mory of former troubles that one word calls up in the minds of the older students. I expect that the teachers are just learning that they need not shudder with dr e ad when registration is announced.

Have none of your old e r fr ie nds told you of the consultation with their favorite teacher and with the principal as to what to register for? I reckon you have heard some of them tell of sleepless nights wondering which of the popularly reputed " hard" topics they should choose instead of the equally hard one given in their course.

LA ST ISSUE OF SEMESTER

With the close of the semester comes the last issue of the Ad vocate for this semester. The next issue will be the first number of nex t semester. The new editor and business manage r for the coming semester have not as yet been elected. The Advocate will be published in much the same form as at present. Some desirable improvements are possible now that the Advocate is firmly started and on a good financial basis.

It will surely merit your support again next semester. Subscribe now and do not miss out on any of it. Hlank pledges will be furnished you Fill one out. Those who paid for the full year in September will need on l y to make known their fourth p e riod class.

L A S T ASSE M BL Y;

Assembly was called Monday for the last time this semester. Th e main purpose was to explain the examinations. Regular classes will be held till Thursday noon. Thursday afternoon at 1:15 o'clock examinations will begin. They will continue the r e st of this week and next Friday , Januar y 31st. all classes will meet at the usual time at th e usual places. Final comments on the semester ' s work will be given and the report cards for the semester will be distributed

A FEW POINTS TO REMEMBE R

Every student in every class is required to take the semester examinations given and at the time schedu l ed The only exceptions allowed are those made necessary by conflict of wto examinations and by ill hea l th certified by a physician to the J\'o examination should be promised or given at any other time than the day schedu l ed for it regu lar l y or for those who have conflicts.

Absence from exam ina Jion witho u t sufficient excuse will cause the student to be marked zero with u ut the privilege of a specia l exami.nation. Absence from examination fer sufficient

LE A DIN G LADY.

Miss Evelyn Black, as Madg e Kederby, is the leading character in ·• what Would a Gentleman Do? '' Th e part is that of a most interesting young l ady, daughter of Sir Br uce Kederby. Her l ove troubl es are complicate d and interesting. Miss Black is most excellently fitted for this part , having considerable skill as an actress With h e r as lead ing lady and with the exce ll e nt staff which supports her , th e p rospects are bright for ari extraordinarily goo d Senior p l ay.

Evelyn is a promin ent member of the Shakespeare society, a society rich in dramatic ability. She was at one time vice president of the High Sc hool Y. W C'. A. Last year she was president of the class of '13. She shows a great interest in class and school affairs and boosts for them.

re aso n should cauEe the student to ' b e conditioned with the privil ege of an examination on the opening clay of the ne x t semester , or at the end of six or t\\'elve weeks.

All books l oaned must be returned before a student may take th e examination , or in case of loss must be paid for.

Report, as soon as you know it tho names of persons who are scheduled for two examinations at the same time, and name the subjects in conflict. The principal will decide and report to the teachers, who w ill give the specia l examination made necessary by the conflict.

The report cards will be given out Friday .January 31. Students who are conditioned will be held responsible for obtaining thei r reports anr! caring for "coRditions.'' if given.

SENIOR PLAY COMING.

The tryouts for the Senior play were held l ast vV ednesday afternoon. About forty Seniors tried out , eleven of whom were boys. The play , " What Would a Gentleman Do?' ' is an exceptiOna ll y fine one and the class is certain l y to be congratulated on the cast that was picked for it. ·

The play is alive and full of inte rest from start to finish The scene is laid in. England among the higher class of peop l e. There is much opportunity for ability as an actor to be shown The part of Hook, the l eading man , is taken by Howard Wilson. This is a hard part to play and Mr Wilson is admirably fitted for it. The leading lady is the part of Madge Kederby Miss E velyn B l ack takes this part , and is we ll suited for i t.

Co lonel Sir Bruce Kederby, B. C., V C., is p l ayed by Hugh McVicker Harold Ha ll takes the part of Hartley Juayne Sir Christopher ·Wynne is taken by Edwin Gardner , Lady Nora Hervey by Lillian Stoll, Dolly Banter by Dorothy Davis, Ronald Kederb y by Leroy Meisinger. Rodd , the servant, the comic part of the p l ay, is taken by Max Kier Miss Agatha Kederby , old maid sister of •Sir Bruce Kederby, is played by Edna Pegler. This part is a laugh from start to finish. Geoffrey Seaton, a man from Australia, is played by Raymond Perry.

Too much praise cannot be given to the sponsors and the coach for selecting such a strong cast. The task of se l ecting the proper persons fo r the proper places is a ha r d one , and many times ill feeling arises from those who have different i deas as to who should be put on the p l ay. While the sponsors help decide who should be put on the cast, still, the coach has the most to say Mr Davis , the coach, has had a great amount of experience along line and is a n expert at it , a nd so those who would criticise s hould remember that Mr. Davis probably knows a little more about the cast than they do.

The date fo r the p lay is rro t definitely set. It is predicted that it will be ready for presentation about the middle of February.

AN APPRECIATION.

As principal and as on e vita ll y interested in the success of everything connected with the L inco l n High School, I desir e to exp r ess my sincere appreciation of the work of those who have made the Advocate for this semester the unsurpassed success which it has been.

In 1909-1910, it was cared for according to traditional custom by students e l ected at a mass meeting of all students. W i thout i ntending any reflection on the two sets of manage r s which it had, it passed thru many unfortunate struggl es as a bi-weekl y and l ater as a week l y, and c l osed the year w i th a defi cit of mo r e than sixty dollars.

EDITORIAL.

This week being the last week of r egu lar schoo l , it follows that this , the fifteenth number of the Advocate, is the last issue of the semester In relinquishing our positions to the new management for the coming semester it is entire l y appropriate that. we show some appreciation of the aid given us in reviving the Advocate and of the interest shown in making the Advocate larger and-we hop-e-b ette r tlnn ever b e for-e. From th e very first, a nd especially for the first issu es , the Advocate received a most e fficient aid from Mr. Mays. We feel that he has promoted the welfare of the Advocate more than any other person. Too much thanks can not b e ex tend ed to the vario us English teachers who helped us in editing the paper. The various editors and staffs, with ve ry few exceptions, have shown a great interest in their work and ha ve shown excellent ability. The society editors h ave been very faithfu l. Some very exce ll ent artists have a l so contributed their abi lity The most grat if ying of all is the fact that the whole school has contributed to and boosted for the Advocate.

We have thrown our best and most earnest work into the Advocate work. Vve have earne stly e ndeavored to please everyone of our subscribers. We have tried to boost eve rything worth wh il e in L. H. S and help make Lincoln High a bette r schoo l. If we have accomplished · anything in these direct ions we fee l amply rewarded fo r our labo r

But r ecently our attention was call ed to the lar ge number of letters received in the office , asking about the records of former students . From various p laces over the entire United States come question blanks· asking about the personal r ecords of forme r students in L.

Continued from. page 1 published in 1910-1•911 as a weekly by students se lected by th e subscribers from an approved li st who had been nominated by friends. In March, stunt night was inaugurated to provide for the d e ficit of the previous year and the increasing deficit of that year. One hnndred thirt y dollars was put into its treasury and a new start made. Thi:s time a member of the faculty in whom we had misplaced confidence was made general manager. It took one full year and the dismissa l of the faculty man from the corps to bring about an accounting for the moneys.

Because of the troubles of pre vious years, no paper was published in 1910-1 9 11.

Before the opening of 1912-191 3, \"ice-Principa l Marshall, who is exofficio financia l manag e r for all high school organizations, and who h as had a lon g and successful experience in managing school activities, agreed with me to add to his already larg e list of responsibilities and serve as business manage r . We selectee! the student whom we believed had the necessary ability and integrity to solicit advertisements and care for the proper circulation of the paper.

We are glad to announce in this last issu e of thi s semester that David Stonecypher has "made good ."

Fo r editor and co-worku with Mr. Stonecy ph e r , I nominated his friend in whom we a ll had confidence. Of him , also, we a r e duly proud and are deli ghted to publish our belief that all must agree that Soren Mathiasen has e dited the most successful Advocate ever published . Possibly some persona l jokes hav e crept in that were better not published, but was no intentional offense. The paper has had thruout a dignified appearance and no issue has had anything to make it otherwise than a credit to the school and worthy of a place in the home of every student.

Vv e appreciate also the work of the English tea c hers , and particularly those whose classes have furnish e d the week l y staff of assistants; viz., ;'1-!iss es Duncombe, Green, Kingsley and Miller. A ll other teachers who have kindly assisted in the distribution of the papers each week are not forgotten.

Mr Shanafelt, who has acted as proofreader, has done goo d work therein.

BE L ATED WASHINGTON ASSEMBLY

The postponement of the assemb l y anno u nced for Friday the 14th was unexpectedly necessitated by the dangerous condition of the south stair,way, which threatened serious l y to break from its moorings in our venerab le Administration ha l l. That state of affairs was not the work of a short time but a change for worse was noticed Thur s day afternoon carpenter,s and architects said the s loping floor was somewhat weakened; and, on the whole, it was decided unwise to risk gathe ring the entire schoo l in the room H e pairs made Saturday rendered coadit io n s safe for calling an ass e rn b• Y Monday morning

The assembly, under , the auspices of the Alice Freeman Pa l mer Society, was taken charge of by their president, Miss Ste ll a Benway. Eight of the society presented the minu e t to an appreciative audiene. Those taking part were: Mary He l en Allensworth, Dorothy Benway, Helen Fleming, Coretta Johnson, Mary Kne es haw, Olive Meeds, Helen Storms and Alic e Warner Patriotic songs and the hi'ghly appreciated address of Dr. Wharton compl e ted the program.

SENIOR ' S ASSEMBLY

The Assembly of Friday, J anuary 31 was conducted by the senior class. After Mr Meisinger's musical talent had been used to create the proper atmostphere, Coah Lindley, whom the c lass had fortunate ly obtained, gave a few of the special points of interest found in the play. The ticket drawing and reservation of' seats was very definitely explained by Carl Wilke who was acting as chairman.

Mr. Mays made a few announcements concerning the second semester's work and a l so the South Omaha game of basketbal l.

Assemb ly Monday was conducted under the auspices of the Girls' Dramatic Society by their pr,esident, Miss Edith Y u ngblut. In accordance with the . st u dy of that which the i r title implies they presented a p lay named "Aunt Matilda's Birthday Party.'' Not a ll the app la u se was i ncited by the fact that thirty-five minutes of valuable time was pleasantly spent, for the cast of eleven showed that they had not taken up the study of their art without ab i lity and industry No assemblies have ever been appreciated as h ave those of this yj'lar, adding color to high school life and introdusing us to other work than bookl earning

A W I NTER EVEN I NG ' S MOOD.

I was, what y ou would say, mournful. No, not about anything in particular, just common every-day mournful.

I was sitting by an op e n , briskly burning fire, for it was a cold eve nin g in mid-winter, and occasionally th e tears would well up in my eyes aud sink back from whence they ca me. I was scarcely conscious of th e m I knew that they came only b eca use th e mournful scenes I was picturing in the blaze of the fire bec a me somewhat blurred.

Presently, b eca us e the fire was crackling too cheerfully to suit m y mood, I arose, wrappe d mys elf up w e ll and went out into the night. I scarce realized what I was doing, but as a person who is mournful will, I was stri ving, all unconsciously, to keep in the mood.

As 1 said, it was co ld. All nature seemed to be in tune with me. Ther e was just a br ea th of air, enough onl y to make · the tree s which lin ed eac h side of the road sigh dismally. Th e moon also seemed to be sorrowing. fo r she kept herself always behind gray, dark clouds , and there was now a -slight mist in my eye s; perha ps ' twas the cold. I think it was my thoughts, though, for in acco rdan 0e with m y mood they were dismally grey _ I walked down th e aisle of sighing trees to the Jane whi s pering grasses, and turning into it, I w e nt mournfull y to the little brook in tile pastur e. 'Cil-. der the ice, which tonight h ad a gr e y tinge, th e water. for I could see it , flowed along like a doomed though it had always befor e gLlr gl e•1 and danced , even unde r th e ice Turnin g about, I r €-e nter e d the ais l e of sorrowing trees I had l eft <;r,me

time before. But strangely enough they were n ow lashed into fury b y a rising wind a nd shrieking with anger. Th e moon was an angry r e d and w:sp;:; of black c louds were chasin g one another f uriou s l y ac ros s h e r face.

Angry, scalding tears w e re coursing unh ee de d , down m y c h ee ks and a burning h eat was c onsumin g m y mournfuln ess. I was ang r y, no w, in a 'ccordaace with eve rything else. For many miu · utes I paced that aisle of tr ees until the whispering of t h e ir nak e d branch es in the fina ll y gentled breeze gave me a b e n e diction and co uns e lled me to seek my own fireside .

·wh en I e ntere d my ga te the win d the trees and the clouds were ca l m : the moon was beautiful and go l d er ; r was calm a nd almost happy. As I s tepp e d into the room I had quitted earli e r in th e e ve ning , the rosy happiness of the fire c h e€ red m e. I l:liwrapped and seated m yse lf wh e r e I had been befor e and gazed inte ntly into th e bla ze. The scenes I now saw were bri g ht ones and I could, in fancy, hear the littl e brook in the pastur e gurgling joyfully.

I was calm and contented No. nol a bou t anything in particular-just be. cause.

HOW THE MORTGAGE WAS PAID

One s umm er day, t h e li tt l e town or Russe ll , in Iowa, was thrown into s uch a state or excitement a:; had never been known since that fearfu l day, when a ba nd of r obbers came in from a ll s id es and destroyed a l most eve r y hous e and bui l ding within reach, l eav in g only a few p eo pl e to look upon the disaster. · On thi;; l ater da y, the town blaz ed out in blacl,, r ed and white. Every ava il ab l e s pace was covered with imm e nse posters announcing the coming of Ri ng ling Bros.' ci r c us and m e nag erie.

Howard Larimer, who liv e d a mile from Russell with hi s wi do wed moth er, had neve r seen a circus, but hi s mother had promi sed him, that if one eve r came he s hould go. He looked at th e pictur es of t h e dilTer e nt parts or t h e s how , until h e had t h e m a ll fixed in h i s mind , and was more than e v e r dete rmin ed t o see t h e m t h e next. day.

On th e morning of t h e great circus day , Howard was seized with a viol e nt c hill. He l ri e d hi s best to ma ste r it, and eve n w e nt to !J e d thinldng t llat he would be a ll right in a few h ours. His moth e r sy mpathized with him. He see med to get bett e r , but s h e would not co n se ut to let him go. About 3 o'clock h e awoko, and founa h e wus oetter, but it was too l ate for him to go to the c ircus.

H e dressed him self and went outs id e thinking a ll t h e w hil e or what. h e had missed, and or hi s di sa ppointment.

In a few moment s J ames Curt i s came up the road. running as fast as h e cou ld. He ex plain e d to Howard t h e trouble , said that Bill Stan ley had

" T H E E T E R NAL FE MI NINE ."

(An ess a y in imitation o r th e Spectator Papers.)

In this, m y essay up on the vani ti es and c onc e it s of " M y Lady, " I wish to giy e to my reader s uch thought s as hav e come to m e f rom sa d expe rle nc e during that "third age of man," "And th en, t h e lov e r, Shining lik e f urna ce, with a woeful ball ad

If one s hould wo nder from wh ence came my knowledge, l et him know that from the great t eache r, ex p e ne nce, hav e I le arned the l esso n

The b e ginning of m y sc hoolin g in this lin e was long ago when, at the tender age of six, l came rompin g hom e from sc hool one fin e day to find mys e lf no longer th e supreme ruler of the household. Some honid wingf'd thing, a st ork, l be li eve the y called it, had sto pped upon it s way a nd l eft a gift, an un soug ht gift in my eyes, a baby, and a g irl baby at that.

Nev er s hall I forget th e utt e r di sgu s t a nd conste rn ati on wit h w h ich I lirst be h e ld th e n ew arrival, the cause of m y d ethro n eme nt. Then was fi r st thru st up on my yo uth fu l mind a g r eat truth that · ha s not yet b een allow e d to d epart, that though woman was created Hecond, s h e ha s, by so m e tricker y of fate, ga in e d fir st pl ace.

As years p asse d b y, this v ie w was mor e a nd more th ru st up on m e, and wit h it ca m e the knowledge that quit e often w h e n My young or old , cou ld no t obtain h er cle s ires b y fair m et hocl s, she often had no qua lm s in obtaining them by foul. Not t h at l then fully r ea li ze d this di st r ess in g trait, bu t look i n g back l see c l e arly how e vid e nt it would ha ve b ee n had not my gallant d evotion to t h e fair sex been, lik e Sam so n, so strong and y et so blind.

Gallant, ind ee d , wa s I on t ho se ha p py High Schol d ays , a tru e champion of t h e Weak ancl Needy Littl e d id I he e d the voic e that criecl: "Rememher the gift of th e Stork!

He e d? Nay, not I. H e re , t h o t T, was a kindr ed s pirit, as I hurri ed ly wrote the hnsw e r on my bl otte r , rejo i cing that I happ ene d t'o lmow it; an d th e r e came to my mind t hat old quotation,

" THE ETERNAL FEMININE."

(Continued from Page o ,

s o d ea r to the h ea rt of the smitten: "Two minds with but a single thought, Two pe ns that write as one."

But , some h ow, looking back, as I have sa id , upon those happy , careless puppy-days , the thought comes to -m e t hat my pr e tt y little neighbor must hav e s pent a great dea l of tim e in curling th e fluffy little ringlets t>e· hind h e r ea r a nd that s omething b es id es na t ur e mu s t hav e aided in holdin g up that e laborat e pompadour Also, n at u re &ee mingly had little to do wit h the pink of h e r cheeks an<l t h e dainty arch of h e r bewi tching eye brow s Th e n thought I little of suc h triflefl, but now, see ing, belil;! vin g, I can culy say: "If 'twere s o , it was a grievous fault. "

Aga in , m et hink s , one tim e as I was r u s hing through the hall on the way to a class, e xp ect ing e very minut e the gong, whose c langing tongue cou ld only Ray , "Seventh P e riod! S e v e nth Period," I came ' upon My Lady, p ee rin g into a funny littl e bright thing while s h e pulled and patte d h e r fluffy h ai r and d a bb e d at h e r cheeks with a pi ece of yellowish cloth on ' v hich was s prinkl e d so m e thing white and du s t-lik e. Upon my advent , with a sta rtl e d glimce, s h e 1\m-rie dly push e d the bright thing and yellow cloth into a gay littl e ribb e n-bedecked bag. Then , recovering h e r old assurance, she sai<l s weetly: "Please wait for m e , I don ' t want to go in late all alone."

I waited!

Oh, the ignorance, the bli ss of thos e day s.

\Vould that I might n e v er hav e lear n e d why her ch ee ks were so pink, h e r hair :so curly, why s he s miled when s he tempted!

Inde e d , I will not now deny that s h e was a most lovable object as she stood ther e , giving so mething in her mouth a funny little chew, patting her hair and asking m e to "P lease wait "

But I waited , and, as I waited, along the ha ll came limping the footba ll hero of the school and I stood alo n e, forgott e n , and there came to me in th e m e ter of our poet, these woi:ds: "Winning, primping, forgotten, on· ward through life she goes ."

And yet, dear reader, is there, has there been or will there ever be, one gr eatr tbm she, the "Etern al Feminine?"

Has anyone accepted the challenge of the 5-6 period Chern basket ball team?

Harry Hawthorne is tearing up the sod in front of his house these days trying to make some sprinting records.

We saw Con wilson shoot a basket from the center of the floor in the Temple High during the Geneva g-ame. We're sorry you quit L. H S., Con.

Omaha is logically entitled to second honors, since she came the nearest to defeating Geneva.

" Ne x t ."

A man entered an eating house and o r dered a steak and f r ied potatoes.

"Yes, sir, . steak and potatoes, sir," said the waiter, "and w ill you have chops and peas a l ong w i th it?"

"No, thank you."

"Roast beef, then, perhaps, sir? The roast beef's fine today."

"No, just a nice lobster and a brace of ribE, sir, with the steak?"

"Nc!"

"Shad, roe, and s u ccotash. perhaps."

"No! I te ll you."

"A nice mess of fried catfish and waf-"

But at this point the proprietor summoned the waiter to him.

"What do you mean, you scoundre l ," h e said "by tormenting t h at patron in s u ch an outrageous manner?"

"0, I wasn't tormenting him, sir," sai d the waiter, " I was just trying to make h i m fee l at home. He's a barber."-Short Story Magazine.

THE ADVOCATE

THE WHOLE TRUTH

\Vhen the Duke of York, now the King of Eng land , was making his tour of the British co lonies there was an Indian pow-wow for him in Briti sh Columbia at which several Indian chiefs appeared. The Indians made speeches The only interpreter was a cowboy who had lived in that count r y and who volunteered his services.

The cowboy told the royal party what an Indian chief was talking about for a few minutes and then stopped, while the Indian conti nued spouting.

"What is he saying?'' asked one of the princesses.

The cowboy made no reply.

"But we must !mow what he is saying," the princess persisted. "Tell u s immediately. I insist.

"Well, ma'am," replied the cowboy, "if you must know, he is ask ing whether it is possible that little r unt with the whiskers ever will be King of England."

WIT AND HUMOR.

"A man who was too economical to subscribe for "Pushing to the Front" sent his little boy to borrow the copy purchased by his neighbor. In h is haste the boy ran over a $4.00 stand of be e s, and in ten minutes loolre d li ke a warty summer squash. His father ran to his assistance and failing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into that, cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy and ruining a $4.00 pair of trousers. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the cornfield, killing herself by eating green corn. Hearing the racket the wife ran out, upsetting a four gallon churn of r ich cream into a basket of little chickens, drowning the entire hatch. In her haste she dropped a $25.00 set of false teeth. The baby, having been left alone, crawled through the cream into the par l or, r ui ning a brand new $20.00 carpet. D u ring the exc i tement the · o ldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the dog broke up eleven setting hens and t h e calves got out and chewed the ta il s off four fine shirts on the clothes line. "

As a word of warn i ng to L. H. S. students, avoid the possibilities of sucjl difficulties by fo ll ow i ng a habit n o w. Subscribe for the " Advocate."

Inv e nt i ve Genius.

"Mother, teacher said I had ta l ents an as inventor.

Mother (pleased)-"Did she? What did she say you could invent?"

"She said I could invent more new ways of spelling words than anybody she ever saw."

PT O LEMY SOCIETY.

At last i.he long longed for party! A goed sized crowd attended this function, hdd on lhe desolate, co ld and draughty, was:es of the gir l s' gymw.;sium. The Fvening wa s spent in playing games and dancing , trying to keep warm and \Ve were highly flattered I.Jy a visit fr om our esteemed brothers. the Ciceronians and Phlog i stons, who fi led in ufter the manr..er oi the inmates of he state institution south or our city. The , ·isit ·.vas short and very enjoyable. Come again, gentlemen!

Saul Arenson has discovered a new const e llation. He calls it "Corona Capitelinae." lt may be seen a l most any night in the year from the longitude of Fifteenth street and other points in and :;round the city. From different of observations the conste ll ation appears differently, but, as Mr. Anmson says , "if it were viewed from a point on a line perpendicu lar to the p lane of its rectilinear :tsyymptotes, it would probably appear as a circle."

Perhaps this distinguished man w ill appear before us in a lecture on this subiect. A movement is on foot to have the Alpha or chief star ca ll ed "Arenson'' out of respect for its discoverer.

Watch the bu l ietin box. Perhaps "Mr. President" will pest a notice Be sure to attend t h e big meeting Friday. The program was announced last week.

CICERONIAN DEBATING SOCIETY

Last Friday evening the· Ciceronians conducted the best meeting for some time, only three active members being absent and school events not interfering. Mr. Sten·et, our new sponsor, is certainly making a p lace already in the minds of the fellows, a n d four promising visitors- Wilson, Cox, Majors and North-were present. The affirmative of the question, Resolved, That the agr icultural course in the high school should be encouraged, was defended by McVicker and Kim, wh ile Fowler and Smith argued the negative Considerable business was transacted and cleared up, and the meeting adjourned wit h a good idea of the real value of a debating society.

PHLOGISTON DEBATING SOCIETY

Last meeting ' was a hummer of a meeting. Trouble started during parliamentary drill but we soon quieted down and even to work. Our debate was, Reso l ved, That the United States sho ul d annex Cuba if two-thirds of the Cuban voters shou l d so desire. Mike

.THE ADVOCATE

Finney and Kokahr upheld the affirmative while Rouse and Dinsmore took the negative . The affirmative won by a two to one decision. Our part of the Stunt Night pragram was decided upon. Our business manager, Cast, to ld us his plans for organizing a baseball team and it was decided to try to schedule a game with the Ptolemys Monday afternoon. The Cicero n ians and Ph logs then joined forces and went over to the girls' gym to see how the Ptolemy's were getting along with ti1eir party.

Y. W. C A. NOTES.

At our last meeting Miss Muir gave us a talk on "Unconscious Influence," illustrating by poems from Browning. We all enjoyed it greatly and would like to hear her again. Two of the girls sang a duet which we appreciated. Seventy gir l s attended, which is not what it shou l d be.

A membership campaign is being started, and all Association members can be sp lendid he l p in persuading friends to join us. Remember tlie ' camival. \Ve want all Linco l n High School to attend ·

SOPHOMORE PIE FEE:D.

Happy sat isfaction reigned in Room 21 last Friday as President Angle rapped the gavel. Pie after pie appeared while we went through a sensation of rising expectations. After discussing a party for w h ich Helen Humpe offered her house, the pies were brought from the cupboard and Frank Fow l er made an attempt to auction them off for stunts. T ime grow i ng p1·ecious, they were quickly distributed and soon proceeded to disappear. None of ·those present were espec ially remarked as being absent the follow i ng Monday, but it was not the fault of the feed, records rriade being too incredib le to be published. You ought to have been there if you were not, and all who were will be there again. All right. Watch for the next event.

THE FRESHMAN CLASS

·The Freshman class met Friday, 7th period , in Room 202 Pres. Hartman called the meeting to order. Miss Little wa s elected chairman of the program. minutes of the last two meetings were read and approved. Parliamentary dril"l was enjoyably he l d. The debating team ,,;as selected and is as follows:

Hugh Hutton, Bruce Raymond, Ruth Farnam, regular; Haro ld Hinkle, alternate

Vanderbilt can write a few words on a sheet of paper and make it worth $5,000,000.

THAT'S CAPITAL.

A mechanic can take material worth $5.00 and make it worth $500.

THAT'S SKILL

A lady cou l d purchase a 75c hatbut prefers one worth $27. T HAT'S NONSENSE.

The editor of this paper can write a check for $50,000, and it would not be worth 1 0 cents.

VOLUME XVIII

JIMMY , ON E OF THE " FOUR MIL· LIO N."

There was nothing very prepossess· ing in Jimmy He was but one of the hundreds of newsboys in the Great City, and , if anything, with his grimy bands and face and his genera ll y ra gge d appearance, he was even more disreputable looking than the others H is parents had died when he was but five or s i x years old, and ever since then he h ad been shifting for h im self , making a living by eithe r blacking boots or sell ing papers. Jimm y had never seen the inside of a public !school; his ed ucation had been gained ,on the street, a crue l , merciless, but nevertheless thorough teacher. So, at the age of thirteen, Jimmy was a worldly-wise little person w ho knew nothing whatever of geography or arithmetic, but knew more about the ways and wiles of the Gr eat City than the average person twice hi s age Beneath this rough exte rior , how· ever, there was a thoughtful and imag· inative littl e soul. How often, as he stood at his post near the entra nc e of the Grand Central D e pot, had he won· dered where the hurrying throng s were go ing' Some were going on t h ei r vaca· tions to the mountains or seas hore or th e farm, but a ll we r e leaving t h e hot, crowded c ity stre ets for the open country. How he hated the city' How he longed for the open co un t ry where one could play baseball witho u t being chased b y the "cops," where there were no " K ee p off the Grass" signs on eve ry bit of coo l, inv iti ng greensward! All this was very childish of Jimmy, but then-he wasn't so very old

JIMMY, ONE OF THE "FOUR MILLION"

(Continued from Page 1.)

"Paper? Latest" Baseball Edition! Carry your grip, Mister? " offered Jimmy, a ll in one breath. The tall young man addresse d look ed first at Jimmy and then at his suit case and smiled, for it was almost bigger than the newsboy himself.

"I'll take a Globe," was the reply"but wait, I have to get my ticket, just wait for me over at Track No. 3."

Following the man through the revolving doors, Jimmy made his way to Track No. 3, and in a few minutes the tall st ranger returned for his paper. Left to his own devices, Jimmy decided to look around a bit before returning to his accustomed place of plying hi s trade, so he sauntered down the long platform by the side of which the train was drawn up What an immense train it seemed to him and what big heavy coaches. And there was the lo comotive, how it puffed and panted and ground as if curbing its impatience to b e off

The last mail bag · had been thrown into th e mail car, the baggage cars were filled and the white-coated porters had drawn their steps back into the Pullmans and a blast from the engine demanded "Off brakes 1 " A thought suddenly flashed into Jimmy's mind. Right there , back of the black iron cowcatcher, was a clear space about three feet in width. H e would tak e a ride on it' Had h e not read only the night before in "A Leap for Life or the Bandits' R e v e nge ," how Daredevil Dick, the boy detective, had foiled his pursuers by l ea ping onto the pilot of the Black Diamond Express as it thundered by?

That settled it Glancing furtive ly about to see that no one was lookin g, the urchin cautiously drew himself up and was soon comfortably seated holding on to two iron cross bars with both hands

Slowly the pistons slid back and the great seven-foot driving wheels commenced to revolve; the "Lim ited " was off on its journey to Chicago, 950 miles to be covere d in eighteen hours. Jimmy soon forgot his first fright and began to take interest in the scenes which g lid ed by. Now, thought he, he would leave the fatal city and no one cou ld eve r make him return To be sure, a s e ction hand caught sight of him, but the wild l y gesticulating hand s meant nothin g to the gray-haired engineer, who se eyes were fixed on the track and the numberless switches c ri ss·crossing the terminal yards. Now they entered a long tunnel and the

yo un gster, holding on tighter, thanked his stars for being where the thick, black smoke blow straight back from the funnel cou!d not reach him After what semed an end l ess wait, a small pin-point of light appeared rapidly growing larger and larger, and soon they were again out in the bright sunshine. The train was moving along at a moderate rate over the arched stone viaduct which carries the railroad 's traffic, without danger to the inhabitants, over the streets of the Great City. But the dull red "bedclothes lined" roofs of the tenements were not pleasant to see, and it was with a feeling of relief that Jimmy saw the hou sE's were thinning out. Presently the High Bridge over the Harlem River was reached and crossed and they were outside of the city limits.

The course now lay a lon g the bank of the Hudson, the "Rhine of America." A glorious summer day view presente d itself to Jimmy's eye. The Palisades, their tops gilded by the rays of the setting sun, rose a sheer hun-

of the river ' s busy shipping, was b e ing warped in to her dock , her deck and rail black with people.

Meanwhile the train sped along through the towns and v illages, over trestles and around curves. Night was fa lling a11d the pleasant breeze began to be tinged with co ld Drawing himself still c los er together Jimmy b egim to wonder if the train would ever stop The wind beat crue ll y into his face, his cap fl ew off and it began to be difficult to catch his breath. Forty, fifty miles an hour they flew over the rails He was sure he could not hold out much lon ger. If he were not thrown under the wheels surely the wind itself would crush the lif e out of him. But Albany was still ninety miles away and ther e was not much time remaining So the engineer opened the throttle yet another notch and the speed indicator in the cab crept up to sixty and s ixty-five miles an hour- a lurch caught poor Jimmy unawar es, his head struck against hard iron and all became black.

Phlog i st o n Deb a tin g S oc ity

S ince the r e was no prepar e fl debat e last Friday on account or the postpon in g of st u nt night we e;ave C urrent Events and partook of Parl i amentary drill. Par l iamentary d r ill was en joyab ly held and many new points w e re brought up.

Many good current event talks were discussed. In the absence of Preident Righter, Attorney Cast presided. Mr. Herscl'ting, a Phlogalnmni, gave an i nteresting talk on an int e re s tin <:!; topic. Much pl easure was got by the perpetual use of "The chair wishes to exp lain," by the Bon. Mr. Rokahr in Par l iment.ary clril l. A small amount of business was taken up and disposed of.

A wake ye Ph logs! 'Why s leepest thou so? We h ave the cream of the schoo l in our society, so get behind and push. See that man Yost as to when your next "debate" is scheduled At o ur last meeting a great amount of interest was shown, but let 's see a full membership present next Friday. Make it a Booster clay, come and bring a visitor.

Now f r iends and schoolmates! It's i mpossible to quote how much good a membersh i p in the Phlogiston will do for you in after life. The Phlogistons ho l d lhe key to success. We have many refe r ences to back up this statement. They may be had on request.

What we want more visitors at our big meeting next Friday Some things are worth "while," others are worth "less."

It's worth while to get acquainted with our jolly bunch of Phlogs. It's worth w h ile to get next to our sponsor, Mr. ·warner. It's worth while to be ab l e to say, "I'm a Phlogiston " It's worth w h ile to learn a l ittle of "Par · liamentary Law." It's worth while to listen to our instructive debates. It's a l so worth wh il e to attend our "big" meeting next Friday, May 9, 7: 30

A good debate i s promi se d.

CHEMISTR Y PARTY.

lVl iss Gere was at home to the students of her chemistry classes, Saturda y evening, Apr i l 26. During the first part of th e evening games were played with cards designed with chemistry apparatus A bur l esque from a MidSummer N i ght's Dream read by Miss Duncombe and acted out by several dramatica ll y inclined members of the c lass gave much amusement. After re1'reshments were served the remaining t ime was spent in dancing. The senior sponsors, Miss Davis and Miss Duncombe, and the chem i stry a ss istant, Mi ss Broady, were present. Th e c11ernistry classes appreciat e the spirit Miss Gere shows toward her students.

Y M. C. A. NOTES

To much stress can not be l aid upon t he fact that the high schoo l Y . M. C. A. boys are workers, hustlers and l eade rs. This is proven by the fact that through th e ir e fforts they have obtain e d one of th e best and most reliabl e companies to put their different features.

The University Gl ee and Mandolin club, on Saturday evening, May 16 in the high school auditorium will put on their great success, "A Riot of Harmony"' or o'ne continuous round of l aughter The money obtained from this goes to def r ay the expenses of the boys who went to conference at Ge neva and various other things such as fixing up om- room etc.

The admiss i on is 25 cents, and the tickets go on sale Monday morn i ng They can be had at the Mier Drug Co., Ho ss P. Curtice Music Co , and at the Y. M. C .A. They can also be obtained from the boys of the high school Y. M. C A. at any time. Show your school s pirit. and come.

AS I SAW NIAGARA

when I arrived at Niagara, I did a s all visitors do, I hurried on to see tb3 ralls, crossing a bridge over Niagara riv e r, through the beauties of Prospect park, on to the beauties of Goat Islan c1 just as Moth e r N a ture plann e d. ·r pas se d throu oo h paths overhung by great trees and sur round ed by s hrubbery anrl flow e r s and a small IJrid ge to tl1 e Niagara Falls on the United Stat eH s ide. Tnming back t.o c ur Great I stood looking down at t hat VOlume Of wat e r l'UHhill!; s o t err ibly on below and I thought of the l egend of the Indian maiden who went over in her canoe and o f t h e horror of h e r terr ibl e fate a s s h e plunged into that seething mass over tll'ci hundred and sixty feet below. She is l{r1qwn as the Maid of the Mist, and th boat that is now us e d to pa ss un -· d e r the falls is named for h er. Looldng down from the island I c ould see the bridge leading to th e Cave of th e Winds and the R ec k of .A ges.

I took t h e e l ev ator to the foot of: t.he falls and this is the best place to really understand their gigantic ;;ize The mist rising two hundred :cle t, prevented me from going v"';oy near As light i s required to bring out the colors of the rainbow, so a trip around the Niagara Felt Line or the Gorge trip is to bring out the true b e auties and grande ur of the g;re11 t Niagara Falls , the great Whirlpool Radips, th e wonderful Gorge and the magnificent scenery that made Niagara wor ld -famous. This trolley took me for a distance of over twenty miles, contin ually presenting an everchanging view of wonderful scenery

After boarding one of the larg e cars, I slowly moved over the great suspensio n bridge, seeing one of the grandest and most perfect views of the falls and nearly a mile up the r iver on the Cauatlian side. I had a magnificent view of both sides of the falls. OJ?posite th e falls on this side the failin g mist keeps th e road muddy most <if the time. From this side also I saw the Canadian Rapids and the wild, plunging waters in the mad rush before l eaping into the chasm which is as deep as the falls themselves

1'-Tere the car goes around a loup and runs down the river for nine miles, always in plain view of the riv er and the gorge. About two miles from here is the wonderful Whirlpool Rapids Th e falling of the · wo.ter into the chasm below forces the water up into a whirlpool, a churning, foaming, tossin g, seeth in g mass which held me spellbound with adm iration, amazement and awe.

Th e return trip up the Gorge is so wonderful in its and grandeur that it defies description. .Alon'g this !.rip I passed th e D ev il 's Hole where a British cavern a nd a company of so ldiers were amhush e cl and massacl'ed by th e Indians in 1763, a nd all driveri over the cliff to d eat h on the ricks be low.

Early i n the afternoon when they had driven h er home and she sat a l one on h EH' porch, rocking back and forth or even pausing as a fa int smile teased her lip s and het eyes twink l ed, she murmured to her se lf, "Not half bad. That's what I'll do."

PTOLEMY NOTES.

Here we are again trying to think of something to say. All we can think of is t h e party that was held at the caves a week ago. Owing to the de :1s e precipitat i o n of moisture durillg the d:l.y, it was feared by some that the tr ip would be unpleasant , and as a re su lt a number r,emained at home wl!o would otherwise have gone However, a good ly number braved the elE•ments and had a very enjoyab le time.

The apparit ion of Stunt Night consta ntly rises in our dreams, but we r e juice to think i t w ill be dispelled nroxt: Friday. All Ptolemaniacs s hould h eed the bu ll etin box th i s week, s i nce the time of a ll rehearsals will be posted therein.

ORIGIN OF MEMORIAL D AY.

Trad ition has i t that about the tim e th e C i vil War broke out, a s old i <-• r o[ · the German army came to this country aud eniisting i n our army , s e r ved through the war About th e tim e t he war closed he casua ll y r e mark e d on e day that it was th e custom in Ge rmany for peopl e to scatter fl ow e r s on 1h e graves of soldiers once a year.

Nothing more was said at the tim e. bur it is supposed that th i s w as th e origin of M€morial day.

John A. Logan of th e Gran tl Army, conl'erred with General N. P. C hipm an in May, 1868, conce i ving th e matt e r cf hav ing that inaugm ate the custom of s preading flow P- r s on the graves of the Union Soldi e r s a ll over the Union at som e specifi e d time. The idea seemed popular HO on May 80, 1 868 for the Jirst. time, flowers and flags wer e l aid on th e grav es of the so l die rs who fought in th e CiYil War

As t i me went on thE) nam e "D e cm·ation" was changed to "Memorial. " the former word fa il ing to ex press thr feelings of t h e comrades. Th e m e1 o whose grav Es were to be d e corat e d on · Memoria l Day were men who vent\. their liv es and in multit.url es of 1'nstances l ost them for th e s alcp of ideas and principl es, and for t'u:se they counted it honor t o d e ny 1hemse l ves and endure all thing s, ev en death itself.

We cannot <lo a wiser thing than to honor tilE: memorie s ol' t h e d e parted defenders o( the flag , and in so doing show, not onl y that we m·e for what t h ey did, bu t that we love the nation whos e banner th ey follow e d and that we wish to do something that will prove that we a r c worthy of the nam e of Am e ri ca n s.

HEN the curtain went up in September of 1909, it found a bunch of exceeding ly gr ee n gat h ered around the north door of th e Administration building, trying their hardest to appear un co n ce rned and familiar with th e surro undi ngs, yet in most cases failing . Even Bob Kinney '0 ? happ ening to saunter thru a group, actually took Geo rg e Cul tri:l for a dandelion stem with a bloomin g yellow top. How e ver, such troub l es soon cease d as th e Fr es hi cs b ec ame acquainted.

At the first me eting, H erald Cordner was chos en to run the ship of J 91 3 until a constitution could b e writt en and passed on by th e class. On l\Ionday , Nov. 8, 1909 , the second election took p la ce . Th er e was not mu ch campaigning. Raymond w es t o-ver was chose n chief PXecntivc witl1 a first assistnnt , otherwis e known as vic e presid ent , in th e person of Ev elyn Blaelc Grover Hobbes was elected to th e position of chi ef r ec order for the class and Jan et Oha s: e was gi ve n th e responsibility of seeing that no mon ey was lost , strayed, or stolen from the class purs e. Th en a man of mi g ht y va lour was pi cked to see t h at all unruly members should hav e a quietus put upon them and that ord er should b e maintain ed for new officers to be el ec t ed. "Pete" was r e-el ec t ed for the offi ce of presid ent , Grover Hobbs was el ec ted v i cepres id ent. F errol \V ade b ec am e offi cial scribe because she r ece iv ed a majority of votes for that offi ce. Reba Clark assum ed th e offi ce of tr easur er for th e same r eason . L eigh Osthoff took th e position form erly h eld by Fr ed M cDonald , as cl ass editor

During this year the class began to distinguish th em s elv es as d ebat ers . A team, whos e mainstays w ere Phil ·watkins and Fred McDonald, upheld th e honor of the class by winning the championship of th e s chool. As they wer e both mod est boys, this great triumph did not go to th eir h eads.

A bout th e last of April , prospectiv e candidat es for offices for tl1 e second year w ere discuss ed. At an ass embly , ce rtai n candidates for offic es w ere announced, an unpr ece dent ed thing in the history of th e schoo l. Th en th e strife b eg an in earnest. Ea ch ·week, th e Advo ca te d evoted at l east a first page column to the doings of this class. Debates, t he equa l of which are to b e f ound only in the \V cbst er-Calhoun sp eec h es, w ere common events. Th e cl ass me etings fair l y seethed with exe it cm cnt. Finally, ho -we ver, the climax ca m e. Such a strain could not la st, and it -vvas brok en finally hy th e el ec tion C. LeRoy :Meisinger w a s found to hav e a few mor e votes and was a cco rdin g l y el ecte d eapta in for th e n ext eighteen we eks ' voyage, comm en cing the n ext Septemb er Evelyn Bla ck was s ele cte d to writ e th e proc ee dings of the trip in the ship 's lo g book. Sor en •:Mathiasen was el ec ted editor

Year 1910-11.

In September, th e h a ws ers were cast off , the gang plank drawn aboard, and with a lusty cheer ,t h e ship of 1913 again sail ed out of h a rbor for another year's voyag e

On September 20 , 1910, Captain C. I1eRoy l\I eising er pip ed all hands on d ec k and things b egan ag ain in earnest. At every m ee ting of passengers and officers, excellent programs w-er e provid ed, and ev eryon e was int er ested in what was go ing on. Again, as t b e year before , the class won th e championship in d ebat e

On F ebruary J , 1911 , n ew officers w er e again el ec t ed: President , Eugene Dinsmor e ; v i ce -pr esident , Bvelyn Bla ck; secre ta.r y, Hon Bug en e Doyl e, Esq ; treasur er, Phil v\Tatkins; attorney, Mari e 1\Ii ck el; s erg ea nt-at-arms, Roy Hildebrand ; editor, Pattie Galusha.

On Ap ril , 191] , the first socia l function was held. It o cm u'l' ed in that b eautiful hall called The Girl 's Cym. Th e night of th e pnrt y it rain ed . It rain ed so hard that th e roof sprung a leak, and a swimming pool was formed in the ce nt er of the ''hall. '' Around the edge of this, cer tain eo upl cs who had th e n erv e and ability, danced. Th e upper classmeu show ed their sp irit by borrowing the i ce for th e ev ening. Eug en e Dinsmore and Phil \ Vatkins ·were put to the painful n ecess it y of buying more · on ve ry short noti ce . How ev er, th er e was plenty to g o around and as th e handi'i of th e elock indi cat ed that 10 :30 was approaching , the affair was for ce d to close . There were no out-of -town g u ests pr esent. Mr. and· Mrs. Mays and lik ewis e the sponsors, Miss Duncomb e, Miss Davis, and Mr. R:einsch were present.

Thus ended the sec ond year of the class of 191 3.

THE ADVOCATE

Year 1911-12.

In the fall of 1911 several things of vital int erest to the class happ ened In the first pla1•e no meetings were h eld until the middl e of Octob er. At this time lvrr. :Mays decreed that ach elass ex <.:ept the Senior should meet as A and B sections in separate classes. Since there t>ms to h!' 110 r eco rd of the business transacted the history of section A remains blank.

Th e officers of section B chosen for the first semester were as follows : Presid ent , Ew•lyn Bla ck ; vice-president, Phil \!If atkins; secretary, Eugene Doyle; treasurer, C. LeRo y lt>iHingcr·; sergeant-at-arms, Ho ·ward \Vilson.

A committee ·with th e responsibility of choo sing a pin was appointed. The pin selected by thi committee has heen retained during our Junior and Senior years 'To ·ward the clo se of lht' semester another party was given by the class. This tim e the librar y was the " Hall " madE' gay with the scarlet and bla ck, and the cream and the blue. J.n spite of the hitter co ld and the• suhstituting of a victrola for an orchestra the party was a success.

On February 9, 1912, it again became necessary for the class to el ect offi cers To George Cultra was given the honor of bein g pr es id ent; Hermine Hatfield was made vice president; Janet 'hase, secretary, and Ethel Stone treasurer. Jan et, though, felt that she was not able to IISstune the manifold responsibilities of this position and resigned at the next meeting Billy Iren e l<,l cck was elected in h er pla ce.

1!)12 sa\\" th e production of the first real class play in the presentation of "A Social Experimr·nt. " We were proud of our east and their work was praised very highly . 'The finan<•illl success was such that we were able to give a Junior-Senior r eception which has n ever hPt>n equalled.

On :\lay 2-t , 1912, th e Junior-Senior was given in 'Walsh Hall. Invitations were issu ed t o 1'\'t'r,Y student having twenty-four or mor e cr edits Hovvard \Vils on was chairm an of t h e co mmit Ire in chaJ·ge and proved his skill in managing affairs. Supt. Stephens and his wife, Mr. and Mrs . l\fays, with the sponsors of the Sen ior class, l\Iiss Wort and Miss Pound, were the lltltlitional guests of the even ing. Gam es, dancing and music formed the program . This event dosed th e social season of the year, and one week l a t er witnessed the closing of the school YNir. Year 1 91 2-13.

Drama tis Personae: H. S. V\Tilson, president; Hermine Hatfi eld , vice-pres id ent; George ('ultra, treasurer; Eugene Doyl e, attorney; Harold H a ll , e ditor; C Meising er, secretary Dec. 13, 1913, the annual Slouch day program of the Senior class was given. Asst·mhly was h eld in the morning to whi ch all of the Seniors marched up the hack of the auditorium , across the stage and down to their seats,-everybody wanted to be seen, of course. A funni er looking crowd cannot be ima gin ed; tramp s and fin e ladies elbow ed eac h other, a dud(' and a co untry girl gossiped, darki es and clowns cracked jokes. All sorts showed themselves in charact er. The program was a grave faculty meeting, ·where serious questions of procedure discussed in silence. In the evening a party was held in th e gym, everyone t•oruing in costume. This was voted the best of the good parties we have had.

On F ebruary 7, 1913 the class th eir last work in dramati c art, ""What Would 11 Orntleman Do ' " Howard wilson made us know perfectly what a gentleman wonld do, und er difficult. cond itions

Again an el ect ion was held , for the last semeste r of our career in high school. Hugh was chosen president; Bth el Stone, vice president; C. LeRoy singer, secretary; Louis \\'o lfang er, treasurer; Edwin Gnrdner, attorney; JJcila Putney, editor, and Paul Halh erhlt>hrn, sergeant-at-arms.

The Senior Prom was h eld on Ap ril 22, in the gir ls' gym, chi efly because no other pla ce ·ould he secured. Tl1 er e were twelve coup l es pr esent and a most en joyabl e evening was spent in dancing. Even though many failed to attend, the affair was a success in every way. And now the wind b egins to blow, and a storm seems sure to come E. Eugene Doyl e, of the picture co mmitt ee, in his report said that the co ntra ct had been awarded to Towns end and that h e had been notified by Mr. Th en the fmy of the imp endin g temp es t , burst with full force on thos e present. Th e ca use of Dol e was espo ns ed by two rery loyal f ri ends of his and debates b etween members were no scarci.ty. Finally the <·lass decided to revert the decision of the com mitt ee, give the contrac t to Dole. But l\Ir. :\larshall and l\Ir. l\Iays ca ll ed nnother class m eeting to r econside r. with this light on the subject, th e class aga in voted to let Towns end tak e the pictures. . l\fay 30th ,,,itnessed one of the mo st de lightful garden parteis ever held. Anna Luclry offered her hom e for the occa.<>ion. A splendid T'rogram was well en jo ye d. Games and refre o;; hments constituted the rest of the urogram. 'Th e refreshments were donated by OU'' spoDsors. On June 6th the annual skip day was l1Pld at Capital Beach. The polite name for this is Senior Picni c. Everyone enjoyed immensely. On -1\Iay 20, 1913, th e career of the illustrious class of 1913 was brought to a close, with a bout on e hundr ed fifty students graduating. HAROLD A. HALL.

HE ''Class of 1913 '' is in a class by itself. Why ? First, that has been great in everyt hing and least in nothing; the n ea r est co nquering unlucky "13 "

because it is the only class second, because it has come

In the fall of 1909 our Freshmen of '' 13'' nearly vvon the class championship in football. But fate, Jo e Mapes and Chancie P. Mann, were too much, though \V eeks, Shephard, Roberts and Richards were to be reckoned with. Th e class of "13" went to d efeat 11 to 0.

Though unabl e to find any records of the basket ball games for 1910, we are pretty sure that the Freshies gave an excellent account of themselves '!'h ere was a diff ere nc e of two points but to which side they b elonged is un certain , so l et us hope that the Freshi es of ' ' 13'' ha ve the credits.

1'h e girls were not quite so fortunate as the boys, but in a hard fought game won wholly by lu ck, they were defeated by the Sophomores 15 to 11.

Di erks for the Freshmen made 11 points, while Barger, Little and Ramey made 4, 8, and 3 respectively for the Sophomores. At the girls' track meet things were greatly chang ed. 'l'he Freshmen made over three -fourths of the points scored

The surprise of the day was sprung when littl e Miss Mildred N eimeier of the Freshmen in the bas e ball throw, hurled the ball for 119 feet 10 inches. H el en Majors was second with a throw of 93 feet. In the individual, Higgins won second place, Neirneier third, and Northrup fourth.

'Thus ended the career of "13" as Freshmen m athletics, a record hard to eqnal by any class.

In 1910 the fates dealt "13 's" another IJlow. Conditions arranged themselves so that nearly all the best players were ineligible to def end " 13 " aga inst the sturdy Seniors and the silver thread was not snapped till the score was 39 to 0.

In basket ball things might have been different had not fate taken the form of eligibility. As it was the Sophomores lost to the Freshmen 16 to 14. How eve r, three of the b est men of the Freshmen, ought to have been Sophomores, and am glad to say wear the " 13 " in public today .

For the Sophomores, Allen, Dinsmore and Collins eac h scored 4 points and Bowman 2. For the Freshmen Albright and Ogl e scored 4 points each, :McC oy 2 and R•ichards 6.

Again in b asket ball the brave girls of "13" ca m e to the rescue a nd defeated th e Freshmen 21 to 20. For the Sophomores Higgins scored 14 points and Neirneier 7. Fate again e onjur ed and the girls went to defeat for the champion s hip befor e the Juniors 20 to 4 .

As there was no Advocate for 1911, the scores for the Junior class seems lost and witl1 them perish the most brilliant record of any class of L. H . S.

In 1912 the championship b ecame so strong in favor of "1913", that Coaeh Lindly thought it not worth while to hav e the Seniors batter up the und erc las smen so their power were never exhibited as a unit in football. Twenty-six

'r IS fitting that our prin cip a l b e r ec ogni ze d in this Senior Annual since he enter ed upon his duti es in Lincoln High School the sam e year as did (most of) th e Class of 1913. Unlike th e r est of Class of 191 3, h e will post gr:aduate work in L. H S Mr. ,Mays cam e h ere m th e fall of 1908 from D1xon, lllmo1s, where he held th e position of superintend ent of th e schools.

He was born in W est Virginia, his family moving from th ere to Mi chigan while he was y et a child. His edu cational c ar ee r began in th e Preparatory to Albion College, :Michigan , from which coll eg e he was graduat ed in 1894, r eceivin g the d egr ee of Bach elor fo Philosophy. He studi ed also in the Univ ersity of Chicago, and obtained his d egre e of Mast er of Arts from th e Univ ersity of Mi chigan. In Columbia Univ ersity of N ew York City h e re ce iv ed a scholarship. From 1894 to 1904 h e was conn ec ted with s chool work in Mi chigan both as a teach er and sup erint endent , some of th e tim e te ac hing a nd att ending coll e g e at the ame tim e . :Mr . .Mays is ·an en t husiast in all e du cational work, h e b eing an a c tiv e memb er of th e National, State and Distri ct Educational Asso ci ations . He i s also int er est ed in any work for moral and social uplift. H e belongs to th e N a tional l\Iunicipal L eagu e allll Ameri can S chool Hygien e Associ a tion. H e has r ec ently b ee n hono re d by an invitation to writ e a pap er on S chool Hygi en e for th e Fourth Int ernational Congr ess to b e h eld in Buffalo, New York, this coming August.

One of lVIr. Mays' most important a chi ev em ents in L. H. S. is his obtaining high er s cholarship for eligihliity in athl eti cs 1'he change has be en mark ed sinc e our athl ete ' s r ec ords stand higher than e ver b efor e H e was r e-e l ect ed last fall as chairman of the Board of Control of State Athl etics for t h r ee mor e y ears , whi ch fa ct prov es a r ec ognition of his ability in this r eg a rd.

He has en courag ed d ebating, and it is mostly through his efforts thnt our school Advo cate has be en so succ essful this y ear. During his prin cipals hip th e cours e of study has b ee n syst ematiz ed to th e advantag e of both pupil and t ea ch er.

Above all of his oth er mm·its, his p ersonal influ en ce ov er th e s cholars predominat es. H e is a man of v ery high mora l s which hav e h ce n r efl ec t ed npon th e s tud ent body :Honesty, hoth in our sc h ool work aud in our o u tsid e lif e, has b ee n emp h asi:-:: ed hy him. 1'he d eportm ent in assembly has improv ed g r eatly t h rough his efforts.

'rhe class of 1913 wish es Mr. Mays suc ce ss and happiness in th e New High Schoo l building for which he has so h eartily boosted; and w e ar e proud to think we have had hirn as our leader during our High School life .
