From places outside of Lincoln we have received the following students as indicated To every new student The Advocate, ·speaking for the entire body of old students, extends a most hearty welcome.

C H A N G E S I N TH E F ACU LT Y
The Advocate regrets to find that since school closed l ast June several of our highly efficient and very much liked teachers have accepted calls to higher positions· and we are not to have their presence to cheer us on to victory or reprove our weaknesses. Our m e mories of their kind assistance and beneficient influenc e will not quickly lose their images.
Miss Spafford, who has devoted herse lf so unselfishly to the students of her mathe matics classes during the past eight or more years, has been g iven a leave of absence at her own request.
M1·. R. S. Bailey, who has been with us only one year, is advised by his physician to take a year's rest. Mr Bailey has a permanent place in the hearts of all who have had the privileg e of his acquaintance, in th e business department, in the band and orc hestra , in the evening school or else· where. His influence was most grac ious and that of a pure-minded, manly man. Our best wishes for his spee dy and permanent r ec overy ar e here expressed in the belief that we speak for a large circle of friends among the students and teachers. His address is Monon, Indiana.
Mr. Gail, who has had charge of our botany department the past year, and in that connection established himself as one of the class of excellent teache rs which Lincoln ha s had the good f ortune to have, has gone to the University of Idaho as instructor in botany. Mr. Gail accepted the position offered him by the University of Ohio

'l'HE ADVOCATE
A BELIEVER IN SIGNS.
Harry Westcote had written Jones & Brown Realty company that lie would inspect Lowry farm on the fifteenth , but finding h e could get away on the first decid e d he would visit the plac e without warning.
Wh e n he stepped from the train at the little town he did not suspect that Brown Of Jones & Brown happened to be on the d e pot platform at the time nor that the latt e r personage read with some alarm the name on the stranger ' s handbag.
Westcote had never been in this community before , but the liveryman assured him the place would be easy to find. All he need e d to do was to keep right on th e Wellsville road until he reached a big white house surrounded by tall lombardy poplars. That was th e Lowry farm.
Westcote did not know that Brown had followed him to the livery barn, and had heard announc e d his destination, and then had hast e ned to his 'own rig and wa s th e n some distance in advance and making good time.
Brown, how e ver, was greatly perturbed in mind until, r e aching an abrupt turn in the road where a lane trailed off to the north , a brilliant thought stru c k him. Climbing from his buggy he mounted the fence where th e old signboard solemnly pointed the way " To Wellsville " and with a wrench swung it so it pointed down the lane.
"There!" he announced to himself, "maybe that will hold him until I hav e time to get that Lowry girl out of the way and get the papers signed. Then let him come on.
When Westcote a few minutes later came to the altered signboard, he turned obediently down the lane as indicated .
" That other road looks as if it to Wellsville, but I still believe in signs; and this one points with such a confid e nt, solemn air there is na mistaking it, so h e re goes."
A half mile further on the lane narrowed until two vehicles could pass with difficulty, if at all.
"What kind of a place can Wellsville be if this be the kind of road that leads to it?" he muttered. " I wonder what would happen if I should meet another team ."
He had scarcely finished the thought before he was face to face with that very predicamen t. The lane dipped into a forested hollow, and around a curve came a team attached to a spring wagon.
"Good morning! " he said gaily "W ould you lilte to pass?"
'' I b e li eve I would if it could be arranged ."
'
' Are you a stranger also in this Janel of single track roads?"
" No. I'm a 'native,' as they say down here ."
" Then perhaps you will tell me what tlH> is when oeoole meet like
this. I suppose I should back to th e n e arest switch, should I not?"
"Do you s ee that littl e gap just back of you? I b e lieve you can back into it and by lifting th e buggy around a little can g e t turn e d the other way."
: " Yes , I b e li eve I can do that. If I succeed will I be fa cing the right w ay to r eac h the Lowry farm ?"
1 " The Lowry farm! Why, that ' s our plac e., I am Miss Lowry."
' I am Harry Westcote, here to inspect the Lowry farm. I beli e v e :Jones & Brown R ea lty company own it now? "
"No t yet. Th e y hav e offer e d to buy it and we will probably close the trad e in a day or two ."
" What! So that's the deal, ell? How much are th ey off e ring you for the place?"
The qu e stion surprised h e r , but th e. look showed no imp e rtinenc e was intended.
'
' Tw elve hundred. You s ee it i s not ,very good land and now that father •is dead we are not able to m a ke mu c h out of it and we ' re glad to get th e ir offer."
" Miss Lowry, " said Henry quickly , " I came down her e to buy that farm, for I hav e found that it contains the richest d e posits of iron or e in this 'c ountry I sent an engineer her e to 'investigate and on his report I have ;agreed to pay $2 4, 000 for it ."
" What! " was all Miss Lowry could get voice to say. ·
"Another thing. If you acc e pt this, I want to remain for a while and oversee the d e velopment of the min es. I have no use for the hou se, and you and your mother ma y retain th at ar d some of th e land n ea r it if you will board me while I am her e "
It took some r epeti tion of this proposition b e fore Miss Lowry could grasp the reality of it all, but hi s s inc e rity :could not long be doubted. Quit e as ;difficult a feat was the getting of ;Harry's buggy about, and !Jy the time it was accomplish e d good f e llowship had been firmly established.
When th e y came to the signboard Harry pointed to it triumphantly.
" Now you s e e I was right about that road Read what that says."
" Well , of all things! That should point the other way Some wag has changed that for a trick."
"Perhaps, but it must have been an inspired wag; and I'm a firm e r believer than ever that luck comes from following signs , aren ' t you?"
"Yes, ind ee d!" sh e answered quickry. "If you had not m e t me this morning, we might have sold the plac e to Jones & Brown .'"
Within her heart she knew very well it was something very diff e rent that he had meant; and she aiso knew it was to C4;.t "something different" that her heart r es pond e d "Yes!"

AN OVERWORKED RECITER
Once there was a little boy, whose name was Robert Reece, Ana every Friday afternoon he had to say a piece.
So many poems thus he learned that soon he had a store or recitations in his head, and still kept learning more.
And now this is what happened: He was called upon one week, And totally forgot the piece he was about to speak!
Hi s brain he cudgled; not a word remained within his head!
And so he spoke at random, and this is what he said:
"My beautiful, my beautiful, who standest proudly by, Jt was the schooner Hesperas, the breaking waves dashed bigh. Why· is the forum crowded? Who makes this stir in Rome?
Under a spreading chestnut tree there is no place like home! When Freedom from her mountain height cried twink l e, little star; Shoot if you must this old grey head. King Henry of Navarre. Roll on, thou deep and dark b l ue castled crag of Drachenfels; My name is Norval; on the Grampian hills ring out wild bells!
If you're waking, call me early; to J tl or not to ' be;
The curfew must not ring tonight! Oh, woodman, spare that tree! Charge , Chester, charge! On Stanley, on! And let who will be c l ever! The boy stood on the burning deck, but I go on forever!"
His elocution was superb, his voicl) and gHsture fine; His schoolmates all applauded J.s he finished the l ast line. " I see it doesn't matter," thought Robert, "what words I say, So long as I d·ec l aim with oratori c al disp l ay. "

SO PATHETIC
Tn a noisy silent court room Sat a youth well bent in years , Upon his face there played a smile, And in his eyes were tears
Then flung they wide the op e n door , A small chi l d entered in, She scarcely weighed e i ght hundred pound s, Her face was broad and thin
Then in a manner excited and ca l m, S lowlY she ran down the a i s l e, And spoke to the judge in a h urri ed tone , But ne'er said a wo r d all the while
" 'Twas not my child that stole those grapes,"

ASSEMBLY.
The first assemb l y of the semester was call ed Thursday morning j ust after second period After singing "The Scar l et and the Black," Professor Gru mmann of the University spoke concerning classes in art. These classes will be held in the art galle r y at the State University every Saturday morning from 9 to 12, beginning this week Students taking this subject will r eceive on-ha lf credit.

THE COACH.
Lincoln has been fortunate in securing the services of the best coach in the Missouri Valley, Mr. Mulligan. After attending Beatrice High, where he played football on the team, he attended the University. Besides his footba ll playing, for which he is best known, for he played on the first team during his junior and senior years, Mr. Mulligan was a membe r of the honorary senior soc i ety, the Innocents, a l so a member of the Dramatic Club , for he showed great dramatic ability, was a h ard worker in the Y. M C A , and besides all this, wa s p r es.ident of the Senior c l ass. In truth h e is one of the most popu l ar men that ever graduated from the Un i versity and Lincoln shou l d indeed rejoice that he will be with us
With such a man in charge there will be no doubt as to the success of Lincoln in ath l etics.
She calmly addressed the chief ; " 'Twas the neighbor's boy next door That was the sneaking thief.
"For four l ong years have I pursued him, An d twice did I l ose his t r ail, , \¥hen he changed his socks and took a bath, But , judge , 'twas of no avail."
T he new coach and Westover spoke concerning football. Mr Mu lli gan believes that if the team gets out and does its best it ca n c l ean up any team in t h e Missouri Va ll ey. ·westover , a lthough visibly "fussed," completed the program in fine style.
FOOTBALL.
The footba ll season is opening with a rus h The outlook is bright, as w€ have a fine coach and plenty of mater i al. still we ought to have mo r e with over four hundred boys in school. On the first day of school about twent.r -five boys met in rom 33. The coach ta lked to them about their conduct on the field and the outloo.k for the season. Th e next day twenty-nine appeared at Twenty-second and K streets. Catching punts, falling on thE' ball and forward passing was the program for the day.
With Captain Westove 1·, McClay, Boehm€r , Quick and True from l al!!t yea r and many of the rest showing up in fine form, the pro spects are indeed b r ight.
The first game will be played in l ess than a month If you can't try 'O Ut for the team, attend the games and che€r the best you can for Lincoln.
TENNIS.
It would be a good plan if the students u sed the tennis courts th i s fall. Practice is what is needed and we want to see Lincoln at the head of the list next spr ing,

Numerous complaints 11ad come before a certain public official in regard to the quality of food served to the inmates of one of the public institut io ns, and h e determined to make a personal investigation in order to see if the matter r eall y needed remedying. Making his way just about dinnertime t o the particular building in question. he walked stra i ght over to where the kikhen was loc ated At t he ver y door he enco unt ered two muscular-looking men carrying a huge s t,e aming boiler
" Put that kettle down, " he ordered brusquely, and the men at once obeyed
"Get me a spoon," he next commanded
The man that brought the spoon was about to say something, but he was ordered to keep silent.
"Take off the lid," was t h e next command; " I'm going to taste it."
The two men were utterly cowed by the brusqueness of the official, and wonderingly watched him gu lp down a good mouthfl.ll
" Do you mean to say you call this so up? " the official demanded "Why. it tastes to me like dirty water."
"So it is, sir," replied one of the men respectfully. " We were ju st scrubbing the floors. "
··r don ' t like you r heart action ," the doctor said, app lying the stethoscop-e again. " You have had some tro ubl e with angina pectoris."

VOLUME X I X
THE TR I P TO BEATRICE
L. H. S. students to the number of 011e hundred made the trip to Beatrice last Friday to witness the dedi cat ion of the new athletic field. Among those who went were Coach Mulligan with eighteen football p l ayers; Mr. Greenslit, lead e r of the band , and tw enty of the band boys; Prin. Mays and Vice IJ rin. Marshall, and ?l liss Ri c hard s, wiLh severa l of the High School gir l s.
Th e principal feature of the de d i caLio rt was the football game between Lh e hom e team and A u rora. Both l.eams s how e d up well l'or the first of t.he season. Beatrice won the toss and chose to defend the south goal, while Aurora c hose to ldck Gove rnor Moreh<>ad ldcked ol'f , as a nnounced in the program. During th e first quarter Aurora succeeded in forcing the pigskin over the Beatrice lin e, a nd fa il ed to kick goal; sco re 6 to 0. Successful forward J:!asses, a brea k through the line, and a final 30-yard run accounts for the score_
ln the second quarter, Wright of Aurora p i cked up a fum b led ba ll near the midd le of the fie l d, and by the aid of Hickman's interference made a long run for a touchdown. Fowler kicked goal, making the score 13 to 0 at th e en d of the first half.
In the third quarter Beatrice worked several successful forward passes and fo rc e d the ball to Aurora's one yard line , but lost the ball on a fumble, and Aurora carried the ball back into safe ter ritory , leaving the ball on Aurora's 15-yard li ne at the end of the quarter. In the last quarter Beatrice scored and kicked goa l , making the score 13 to 7.
Beatric e's score was the result of four successfu l forward passes and a penalty of 15 yards on Aurora for tackling a player after signaling for a free catch. The final score was 13 to 7 in favor of Aurora. The tota l penalty on Beatrice was five yards a nd on Aurora was 105 ya r ds. Th e officials were: Referee, St i ehm , U. of N. coach; Umpire, Kline, Nebr. Wesl eyan coac h; Head Lin es man , E. Frank, Doane coach.
The L. H S. team will p lay Aurora October 10 at Aurora and Beatrice wi ll p l ay Linco l n on Unive r sity li'ield November 1 It is safe to say th at there was never a better feeling b etween B eatrice and Linco l n High than at the present time. Beatrice appreciated the prese nce of Linco l n visitors. We shall welcome them on University Field, November 1, when we meet their team on the gridiron.
An intere sti ng fact is that Allan Mulligan, a brother · of our coach, p layed quarter on the Beatrice team, and was the star of the game. LIN CO L N , N

IMPRESSIONS FROM THE BLEACHERS
Au-ro-ra! A u-ro-ra! Aurora! was he cry that was echoed in -tones party )f gl-ee , largel y of surprise , by many Li ncoln High witnesses of the game at
Lincoln, Nebraska
and was exp laining the difference between a common and abstract noun.
"An example of a common noun Is dog," he said, "for you can see it, while you <!annot see anything that is an abstract noun. F'or instance, have any of you see abundance?"
There was s ilence for about a minute. Then a little boy got up and said: , "P lease, sir , I have never seen a bun dance : but I have seen a cake walk."
Beatrice Friday. The defeat of Beatrice by Aurora came with as great a -surprise to Lincoln as to Beatrice, althougt with not so mu<!h grief. Th e element of surprise characterized the game from the time that Aurora in the first few minutes of play swept down the field for a touchdown. The interesting thing from our viewpoint is that the · Lincoln football fellows seemed to be surprised, not that Beatrice was weak, but that Aurora was so st rong Capt. Westover said after the game , "I had no idea Aurora was so strong." Coach Mulligan was Senior to Freshman-" What's that asked if he was satisfied with the Lin- you have on that tiss:ue paper?" coin prospect s. His reply was, "Yes, Freshman-"It's a jok e I wrote." but we have a Jot of hard work ahead Senior-"What did you put it on tisof us. " The trip was a wholesome sue paper for?" thing for t.he Lincoln High fo otball Freshman-"It said to in the Advoprospects. Beatrice was probably de- cate." feated by over-confidence. Friday's "Little boy ," asked the well-meaning E)Xper ienc e shou ld prevent the Lincoln reformer , " is that your mamma over team from falling into that trip when yonder with the beautiful set of furs?" they go to Aurora October 11th . "Yes, sir," answered the bright lad.
" What He Had Seen."
A teacher was taking a cla-ss of small chi ldr en in English grammar,
"Well , do you know what poor animal it is that has had to suffer in order that your mamma might have the furs with whkh she adorns herself so proudly?"
"Yes, sir. My papa."

T HE F I R ST FOOTBALL TRIP.
Last Wednesday afternoon twenty members of the L. H S. football squad, accompanied by Coach Mulligan and Manager Marshall, made their way via trolley, team and tramp to the Nebraska Military Academy to punch the - pigskin on the N. M . A. gridiron. This was a practice game, with both coaches on the field di recting their players.
The N. M. A. took the kick -off and kicked to McC l oy on the thirty-yard line. A good catch, good interference and a fine sprint l anded the oval behind the goal line. Time, one-half minute. Boehmer made another to u chclown during the first quarter; Morris made one in the second quarter; Boehmer another in the third, and Quick and Boehmer each a touchdown in the last, giving Lincoln a score of 36 to 0. The game began late, making it necessary to shorten the quarters to ten minutes each. To further gain time, the L H. S eleven made no tries for goals.
Coach Mulligan used all twent y pl ayers in the game and found to his satisfact i on that he has a fine lot of mater i al from which to choose a team.
The N M. A. team averages lighter than the Lincoln bunch, but contains several p l a'yers who appea r ed to good advantage in the game .
The following players from Linco l n High took part i n the gamt: Cham' bers, Schroeder, 1\'fontgomery , Bennison, Cox, Harman, Quick, Chapin, Al brecht, Young, Morehouse, Westover (captain), McMahon, Colton, McLachlin , Morris , Andrews, McClay, Curtis and Boehmer.
After the game the dressing-room is always a p l ace for ta l king over the game and having a good time in general. It was here that Boehmer discovered that he had lost his l ast scent. Even after the other p l ayers were dressed and out of the room, he was still yelling, "Where are my socks?"
At the sound of the bugle , Company One of the football brigade marched double quick to the dining -room Not being skilled in military tactics, they were somewhat at a Joss to know what to do in a dining-room, b u t be i ng quick in perception, a word or two from Colonel Hayward enab l ed the boys to proceed in miltary order. The meal was greatly appreciated by a ll and the boys l eft for home feeling that the time had bee n p l easantly and profita.bly spent. They are looking forward with pleasureab l e anticipation to the trip to Aurora on Friday, October 1 0. South Omaha will p l ay the first game of the home se r ies on Nebrasli:,a Field, Wednesday, October 15. Buy a season ticket and have ten dollars

After seve r a l books had b een put upon the chair so that Mr. Thomas might see over t h e desk, the meeting was call ed to order. Owing to the fa ct that Miss Simmons, our former president , i s no l onger in schoo l , Frances Botkin was elected to that offic e . Dw i ght Thoma:s, "swelling wis i b l y" at the honor of his tempo r ary office, conducted the business in fine style. Vesta Foxwo r thy, the aforementioned D Thomas, Holliet Knapp, Beatrice Long, Frances Botkin and Cleo Cather took part · in the program, which was very muc h enjoyed. A fine crowd of visitors were present, whom we all expect to see at the next meeting

SPECIAL BULLETIN FOR BOYS.
That is a mighty strong lineup the Y. M. C. A. has given us for the "Bib l e Study and Life Problem Course-s" this year The subjects sure look interesting and something every fellow, whether a Freshman or a Senior, could get a lot out of. They h ave secured a st rong bunch of men to lead these classes. If men like Principal Mays, Registrar Rutledge, Coach Mulligan, and others , can take the time to lead us in the-se studies, there are none of us too busy to " get into the game." The plan is to have .tour different
co ur ses, one for each class. The fol· lo wing is the outline of courses. This course has g iv en many fellows an entirely new idea of Christ and the things He stood for Senior-"Life Problems." A study of the problems that face every young man in his outlook on the future, un· der the leadersh ip of a man of experi· e nce.
The s e courses are to begin next week and la st for about ten weeks. The classes will meet at the "Y" every ViTednesday at 12 m. for lunch in the red room. At 12:20 the c l asses will
separate for the study and c lose promptly at 1 o' c lo ck. Any fellows living ne a r , who prefer to get th e ir lunch at home, cou ld come into the c las s at 12: 20, but all fellows expect· ing to have a plate reserved for them Ehould buy t h eir tickets beforehand. See one of the commi-ttee at once and sign up for a course.

JUNIOR CLASS.
The illustrious class of 1915 h €ld their class meeting of the yea r At t hi s meeting we had the record breaki n g attendance of ov€r one hundr e d The m€eting was called to order b y r esident Ja ckso n in our r€gular meetng place, room 202. After appointfng two of the most important commitees of the y€a r , namely the pin and lay committees, Dr. Knight told us ww much b etter and how far s up erior t h e Junior Cl ass w:as than any other in the schoo l. 1 He said that t h e Gr een r eshies were too meek and lowl y to ,stand up for their own rights, while t h e Sophomores think they know it a ll nd in fact know very littl e. Th e Seniors are supposed to be very dignified, but this dignity is only a cloak for big h eadedness, while t h e illu sf rious Juniors have outgrown the foo lIs h id eas of the Sophomores and Freshies and this Junior Class is never going to assume false dignity. Dr Knight has surely won a place in our hearts and we welcome him again wh enever he can spare time to visit s After all business had been trans· acted the meeting adjourne!l to t h e girl s' gym , which was beautifully decorated in Old Rose and Gray. The ehi ef attraction was a playlet presentng Mother Goose an d many c h aracters pf nursery land Mr and M r s. J ack op rat t star r ed brilliantly.

Of course we know that we can onlY ha ve such a dvan tages by the means of a n ew High School, and it is to our interest, therefore, that W€ are in one by next September . Th ere is bound to be more e nthu siasm in athletics when more students e nroll for gymnasium, as most students ce rtainly wil l as soo n as we ha v€ a new buildi n g.
We cannot help but rejoice that the l1o ys and girls of the grammar schoo ls lta ve such privileges i n athletics, as i t is pe r fectly evident by the "wonderflll" playground laid out at the southeast of the High School. . We might

THE ASHLAND GAME.
It was a jolly bunch of L. H S. players who left on the 10 : 45 Burlington train for Ashland l ast Friday, where the Lincoln second team was schedu l ed to play the Ashland first team. Sixteen unexpected guests were too much for the hotel and it was necessary to wait for dinner, but the hungry bunch did amp l e justice to the meal.
A fin e field and a most delightful day put the team on their mettle. Lincoln won the toss an d chose to de fend the north go al, Ash l and taking the k ickoff.
The bal l hovered about t h e center of th e field for some t ime , when a se ries of s u ccessfu l plays put the pigskin on Lincoln's twenty-yard line A successful fo rw ard pass by Ashland and the ball was be hind Lincoln's goal. As hland kicked goal; sco r e, 7 to 0; time, 25 minutes
Again the ball moved to and fro through the third quarter and on into the fourth, when Bushe made an e nd run for fourteen ya rd s. Wilmeth la y out, and while all were ye llin g "Get that man, " McG l asson went through t h e line for a touchdown; Wilmeth kicked goal. Score , 7 to 7; time, 3 72 minutes after the fo urth quarter had begun.
Ashland kicked off and Lincoln carried t h e ball into Ash l and's territory An intercepted forwa rd pass b y Ashland's f ullback was good for forty yards and an o ther touchdown. Tl;le y failed at kicking for goa l. Scor e, 13 to 7 in favor of Ashland
Lincoln then forced the ba ll to As hland 's five-yard lin e by line bucks and one end run , when an Ashla nd player stole the ball from Schmidt a nd spo ilEd Lincoln's last chance to score anot h er touchdown.
It was a clean game an d the Ash l and boys say it is one of the best games t h ey h ave had in years. Very littl e t ime was taken out, except when a di sp ute a ros e i·egardin g a to u chdown. Th e lin eup was as fo ll ows: Lincoln Ashland Dana, Morehead l e Morris

THE CENTER.
Whe n it comes to football play in g , Roy Tru e is in a class by himself. Breaking t hrou gh the lin e, blocking a punt. picking up the ball and making a touc hdo wn is gett in g to be an everyday oc c urr e nce A l so " Brick " is an acto r.

HOW WE LOST AT AURORA.
A boy attend in g the g rad e sc hool s in Lincoln -says he d efeated Lin co ln High at Auror a. H e says his name is !•' r appia, h e lives in L incoln, and that he sec ur e d the s ignal s of t he L H S. team and sent t h e m to his brotller, who play s f ullba ck on the A ur ora team.
ASSEMBLY.
The regular assemb l y was call e d l ast Tu es day morning. Afte r the n e w s ong books had b ee n dis t ribu te d b y the monitors , man y so n gs,. gran<! operas or oth e rwi se , were sung Afte r announcements c on ce rnin g the l'ootball game which was to have b ee n pla y-e d Wednesday, t h e asse mbly was dism i ssed.
ATHLETICS.
Though th e Lincoln High School was beaten at A uror a, the score d oes not tell a n yt hin g about what it sho uld have been, as Lincoln he ld them tim e after time in the shadow of the goa L Aurora had a much be tter team and outw eig hed L in c oln , so ther e is nothing to b e ashamed ab out for getting beaten
Th e first team goes to York n ex t week t o see what they can do with the York team on the gridiron. As York ha s n eve r beat e n Lin co ln , we ca n not l et them do u ::< up th i s tim e.

They were twa lo vers , sweet and dea r , H e was sae bold and st ron g; " Ob dear, " s h e sighe d and sa id , " T wish I might to him b e lon g.''
She was a maiden wondrous fa ir , H e r looks they m v. d e yo u pin e; A nd in his br eas t there rose the sigh , " I do wish she were min e "
" Oh co m e wi t h m e, m y sweethea r t dea r And t his you ' ll ne' e r r eg r et: We'll take a boat, I'll do my best To keep you dry my pet."
They too k the boat and started 0 11 1 , Half out ac ros s tohe se , She looked b e hind a nd in pur s uit. " Oh father's af ter m e."
Oh now he rowed so manfully, And c lin g in g to his s id e, Th e tea r s asti ea ming down h e r face, His bonny n e w-mad e bride.

Tb e r e was a doubty suffragette; " Women's ri g h ts" was her plea; "I shall rule my c ountry, Or I w ill l ay me do wn and dee ."
Her speech was little doubted As she too k her place before, 13 ut in tbe crowd there cou ld be seen Some that were b eati n g it for th..e door.
She quickly from her bosom dr ew A sco r e of bricks or more; And the rest of her admire r s Quietly murmured "Nevermore."
She was promptly landed in yon j ail, Just a part of tbis role; She rod e not upon a milk-whit e steed , But in the police patrol.
Sl:e ar ri ved at her biding-place; The floor was bai t h hard and cau l d , And in to this plac e she was thrown To d a mpen her a rdor b a ul d.
She sta r ted a lengthy hunger str ike, And nois il y wagged her tongue.
" They may cast me in a dungeon de ep Ere I will eat even one small bun ."
The noisy to n g u e wagged long and loud , But it was to no avail, And behind the stony walls She languished there in jail.
Now a ll of you doubty suffragettes With "women rights" for a pl ea, In stead of ruling y;ou r count r y, You had better Jay do wn and dee.

A most delightful da y brought many hundr eds of spectators ou t to see one of York's best home games. York would prefer to d e feat Lin co ln to any team on t h e schedu le , as t hey h ave never as yet had that honor , though they have several times defeated Omaha. The L. H S. boys had expected an easy victory, but they found a t ea m that ca ll ed for a ll t heir strength.
Throughout the first quarter it was a nybod y's game. The ball traveled the enti r e l ength of th e field several times , only to be r etu rn ed by the othe r team Th e second quarter to ld a di fferent sto ry when Quick pu t the pigskin beyond the cha lk lin e for s i x points Lincoln failed to kick goal. In th e third quarter Colton mad e a place kick on the t hirt y-yard lin e, making t h e sco r e nin e to a goose e gg. Six minutes afte r t he fo urth quarter bega n York by good fortune had the ball on Lin co ln 's twenty-yard lin e when a s u ccessf ul forward pass n etted t h em a tou c hdown a nd a goal; score n in e to seven in favor of Linco ln This score was no t altered when the last w hi s tl e blew. The game was a clean one (except for the dirt), and th e teams acqu i tted themse l ves in a manne r of whic h bo t h schoo ls may justly be p r otM.

Near upon a midnight dreary, w hil e I studie d, tired and weary
Over an unknown answer sought for many hour s b e fore
While I nodded with my gaping, s udden ly there came a tapping
As of some one gently rapping, wave ring at my knowl e dg e door.
" I s it the answer ," the n I murmured , " rapping at this sec r et door ,
All of i t and nothing more ?"
All distinct ly I rem embe r it w as in th e warm Septem ber,
And each wrongly worked out value almost made me walk the floor
Eagerly I wished t h e morrow t hat from my neighbor I might borrow
A value for that horrid root l could not check before ,
But which was written, s ternly wrHten, on my knowledge door,
Nameless her e forever more.
In quadratics l was flo u ndering; l ong I sat there gap ing , wondering , \Vinking, thinking thoughts no student e ver d a r e d t o ·think before
Vainly I did seek to question the meaning of t h e wierd s ugg est ion
Of t he th ough t that now ro se in m e, of the order "Th ink no more ."
\ Vas I pl ease d ? I did not grumbl -e at t h e order "Think no more "
All of this and a g r eat d ea l more.
Still I sat engaged in guessing, but no s yllable expressi ng
Of that root who s e values now burned d eep into m y bosom' s co r e
Thi s and more I sat the r e so lvin g with my head and eyes revo l ving, And the number s fairly dancing as t h e lamp 's li ght fad ed lower; And the number s fairly followe d as t h e l amp ' s li g ht faded lo we r I would st ud y nevermore OLLIE KIRKWOOD.

Th e minutes of the preceding m eeting were read and approved. Miss Kirkpatrick gave a. report of the program committee.
Mr Schro ede r was e le cte d sergea nta t -arms. He gave a short but fatherly s peech to the assembled multitude. Mr. Schro eder is amply large enough to block the door.
Th e quest io n of a committee to select class colors was warmly debated and consisted of a verbal duel b etwee n Mr Trester , Mr Bushnell and Presid ent North. Finally a committee consi:;ti n g of the president and the two s ponsors , as suggested by Mr . Bushnell , was named.
After miscellaneous business and a dis c ussion of futur e parties, t he me etin g adjourned.

SENIOR PARTY.
Th e b est part y this y e ar w as h e ld last Friday evening in the girls' gym. Of c ours e , not eve ry memb e r of the c lass was present, but there w as s uch a crowd that would m a k e oth e r classes turn g r een with envy . (The f reshm en wouldn't have t o do much t urning.) Everyone had a good time. A g r ea t program had b ee n arrang e d b y "Crimson Crest" Thomas, who was the belle of the e vening. You o ught t o ha ve seen him try-! mean , t r y, to change the subject, the eats were s imply great. Popcorn ! Apples! Pumpkin pi e ! Miriam L ittl e is sai d to have taken home a grain of popcorn to her "li t tle" s iste r. (This i s a " littl e " joke ) Then Mr Marshall sta rt e cl poppin g a sack, a nd pr ety soon it s ounded as though someone were sticking pins in Thomas Morgan 's head Th e clock sa id ten t hir ty, yo n know t h e r est.
A MYST E RY
When the se n i or party was in full swing, a bout the hour of e ight, th e high sc hool be ll broke forth into wiid and uproarious c l am or. As a ll know t his b e ll resides in the tow e r of S c i: e nce hall. Upon hearing this melody. our janitors h aste n e d to the fourth floor of t he building and the r e encamped, awaiting the re t urn of the bell ringers.

THE CICERONIAN DEBATIN G SOCIETY.
Ye noble 'G iceronians did not have ye famous meeting last Friday evening· First, because of th e Y M. 'C. A. Hallowe'en party ; second, because the boys had other things to do, amd third, because the witches were out.
The main reason was that Mr. Horace Powers said that he was afraid of the goblins who wandered abroad on Hallowe'en , who stealthily sneaked upon the unwary child and kidnapped him. We agree that it is not best for t ender young chi l dren to wander mid the dangers of darkness
}[r. Williams said that "T. S. " required his presence at a li ttle party and to skip the party wo ul d break her dea r little heart and he cou l d not be so cruel.
Mr. Trester wished to indulge in the m yste ries of the Y. i\f. C. A party, and so decid e d that he agreed with " Horsepower " and " Williams " that it wou l d be unsafe to sally forth to the school bui l ding
And so as the story ends , Williams p r ocured an escort and took her to the party , Horace stayed at home and read "' Ca ptain Kidd" for the fifti et h time and Trester investigated the horrors of the Y. M. C. A. party
All were pleased even down to " Texas", who cut a c l othesline and was satisfied.

T H E OMA H A TRIP.
All aboard! The special train carrying the two football teams, the High School band and a bunch of rooters · left the Burlington station at 8:30 a m. la.st Friday, arriving at Omaha at 10:10. The Omaha H. S. band met the special and headed the procession to the Y. M. C. A., where Vice Principal Marshall had made all arrangements for their entertainment. The second team, accompanied by the band, started for Rourke park at 1:30, just as it began to rain. Promptly· at 2: 00 o'clock as scheduled the whistle blew and the game was on.
In the first quarter the Lincoln team was forced to down the ball behind her own goal, resulting in a score of two points for Omaha from the safety. This was Omaha's only score in this game. In the second period Busche carried the pigskin across the chalk line for Lincoln ' s first six points, score 6 to 2. Again in the third quarter the ball was forced over by McLachlin for Lincoln, McGlasson kicking goal, score 13 to 2. In the fourth quarter Omaha succeeded in getting to the ten yard line, whe r e she lost the ball on downs. This was the closest she carne to Lincoln's goal line during the game, except for tlie punt which might easily have been made a touch· down by Lincoln when the ball would have been carried out to the twenty yard line and given to Lincoln, but the player started to run with the ball and was promptly downed behind ou r goal, scoring the safety for Omaha in the first quarter.
The line-up was as follows:
Lincol n Omah a Kuhn L. E . Withy Albrecht L T Herman

For the first q u arter Lincoln had Omaha at her mercy, gaining almost at will. was during this quarter that Morrts took the ball to Omaha's four ya r d line and Colton planked it down behind the goal line Colton kicked goal.

There was something very mysterious about th a new right tackle. He had come from nowhere to Middleview College. Chance had kept him out of the first games, but he was to play in the big game with Harrisburg on Saturday.
Harrisburg was their most hated rival. Each had won three games that season in the Big Bear valley Not only was this game to determine the · championship, but if Middleview won they become possessor :;; of the beautiful · loving cup. If Hurrisburg won-oh, horror of horrors! they would have to win three more gam e s iu succession to get it.

Don, the big tac kle, had always been a mystery He was tall, broad shouldered and muscular. His black eyes were sunken and they shone as though some hidden secret tried to tell itself He had a far-away look as though yearning for something which he could never have. Nevertheless, he was the most attractive young man in the school. Everyone who passed him gave him a second glance. Girls collected in groups to wonder what his previous life had been They couldn't guess the hidden meaning of his eyes w. w. w. PRESIDENT and expression. Had he been a highway robber? That couldn't be. He

In the second period Omaha made two successful forward passe s , which netted them a touchdown; score 7 to 7_. In the third quarter neither side was able to score, and it was still a nybody's game. Up to this time it was a most interesting game Then happened. Soon after the beginning of the last quarter Lincoln lost the ball on her own twenty yard line Omaha recovering the ball. There had been many fumbles before during the game , owing to the rain and ball but they had not resulted d!saste'rously to either team This time it was different. Omaha was off for a touchdown. Then Morris was hurt and taken to the Y. M. C A., where he was attended by Dr. Wilmeth of Lincoln. The rest of the story is short: "Two more touchdown by Omaha. Score 28 to 7."

"But why should I tell?" she pondered " Don told me in strict confittence. Perhaps I oughtn't to go with him any mor e. But it wasn't his fault; and, oh my! why did he tell me anyway ? I needn't have known, but I wanted to so badly. It was on account of his mother. He did it for her. It was his brother ' s fault. , That wicked brother! He needn ' t have run off in a fit of rage just because Don reprimanded him for treating his mother that way. He might have come back; and he needn't have written that he was about to take his life. It wasn't Don ' s fault that he killed himself, so now!" And she cleared her mind , intending to r e main friends with the big tackle
The score stood 6 to 5 in favor o f ?11iddleview, and was ready for Middleview's touchdown.
Middleview's friends arose from the stands in a mass. They jumped, they

A collection was taken up from among the 'Seniors present to pay off the debt. The sum was raised without difficulty through the dilig ent efforts of the Han. H. Long.
Owing to some lack of arrangement we were unable to secure room 26 for the class meeting, but the sophomores very kindly consented to give us room during the last half of the period for the entertainment. Th e bo ys of the class s h owed their appreciation to the sophomores by giving three cheers for their class. · Miss Burt enterta ined u s with a a story of a fisherman and his wife.

SHAKESPEARE SOCI,ETY.
At the last meeting of the Shakespeare ' s the constit ution was read for t h e benefit of the new girls and Shakespeare ' s drama, "As You Like It ," was c ho sen to r ead this semester.
After class meeting last Wednesday the girls and an equal number of boys and s ponsors went on a picnic to the sand caves. Marshmallows and wienies were included in the menu, and in the a bsence of spoons, the la tter were used to stir coffee. Miss Short got rather lon esome in that awful little dark room , but Thomas and Helen did not seem to mind it at all. We have never since heard of the heroic co upl es who started to walk home MIRIAM HARRIET LITTLE, Editor.

All you Phlogs are back at their old stand Some meeting we had. Instead of a regular debate our time was taken up in a very interesting discussion with Principal Mays on the question of whetb€r debating the the state high schoo l s was lowering the standards of truth among the debaters We agreed with Mr. Mays that it assuredly did not. This discussion was very interesting and brought up many new phases in debating which her€tofor€ we had not consider€d.
Fellow Phlogs we need just a little more .' pep " and we'll be up to our standard. You know what that isjust a little above all the other societies.
Why were Hugh Hutton and Bruce Raymond so gloomy and sad November 1? Ask th€m. Charles Hartman sure felt happy then

LINCOLN 31, IDA GROVE 0
In a brilliant game of the new open · style of football , Lincoln High shut out Ida Grov \3 by a score of 31 to 0.

a small box of cow itch, but it did not last long, for· Miss Richards, in her physician- l ike way, applied witch hazel.
The interperiod classes have organized and intend to play their games in captain-ball as follows :
Wednesday, Nov. 119-Third and fourth periods.
Thursday, tNov 2()-Sixth a n d seventh periods.
Friday, !Nov. 21---'Finals .
Beulah Wagner is the third pe r iod captain; Leta Munson, the fourth period; Bethene Sm i th, the sixth period; Lillian 'Story, the seventh· period.
Miss !Richards , while giving instructions in foot p l acings, asked Meta Fraas where she had her foot? She shyly replied, "On the crack." ·
The question has been asked why we don't see and hear more of Miss Richards ' gir l s this year But wait until Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and all turn out to the games The admission is very small-not much more than the time spent.
;WlARN]NIG! NOT] CE! Do not molest the third and sixth period classes while they are practicing captain ball as t h e managers are very vicious and they do not wish to have their s i gnals or what they call good plays revealed The seventh period class, especially , heed the warning. But t h ey should worry, as they have their good plays so we!l conceal ed that it wou l d take more than a Mutt or .T eff to discover them.

THE SIOU X CITY TRIP
Fifteen m embers of the L. H. S. football squad, Coach Mulligan and Manager Marshall left Lincoln at 1: 40 ' p. m., F'riday vi::L the C B. & Q , arriving in Sioux City at 7 :30. They went to the Martin hot e l where they enjo ye d the best en'ertainment which cou ld b e provided for their comfort. The trip going was not a dry on e- but that is another story to be told at the Football Assemb l y.
A rain Fri da y night made the field somewhat h eavy, but otherwise the weather conditions were ideal. A large crowd gathered at Mizzen Park at 3:30 p. m. , to witness the game .
The game had progresse d but a short time when the Lincoln lads discovered that t he Sioux line was impenetrable The game became an open one, with some of the most s pectacu lar plays seen during the entire season. Th e L H. S. boys we re somewhat outwe i g hed. Boehmer w as bit in the head at the end of the fir:st quarter and reti r ed from the game. Morri s was not ab l e to go with the team. Quick was out on account of tt dis l ocated shoulder. Colton has bee n out for several weeks with a sprained ankle McCloy and Yule were in the game, but both wer e lame , but in spite of all th ese handicaps the team put up one of the pluckiest fights of the season They returned from the Sioux game in the finest of spirits and are ready to meet Topeka on Turk ey Day.
Be the r e and boo st for High. Today is your l ast chance to secure reduced rate tickets.
Siou x City secured on e touchdown in each of the four quarters, kicked goa l twice, an d made a goal from a pla ce kick in the second quart e r , mak111?; a score of 29 to 0.

Did you see Boehmer p lay i n the Ida Grove game? He was magnificent, wond e rfu l , terr i ffic. For the benefit of those who do not know it, he played. on the fi r st team two years, and when he was a small sophomore, played on the second team for one season. Frankie showed that he could play baseball as w e ll as football last year when he was captain of the Junior team To change the s ubject, his soft, b l ond hair makes a great hi t with the gir l s.

THURSDAY ' S GAME.
Thursday is the d ay when school spirit will count. Lincoln has won three gam e s and l ost fout· this la st season. But the whole school ba c k of the team, even though it is in a cripp l ed condition, will bring victo r y. The gir l s are a ll going to s it in one p lace, so there w ill be no exc use for their not ye ll ing The team will do their best for the boys and faculty, but for the girls, they will do almost anything.

\Vho said th e Phlogs were not th e re with the " p e p " ? Our last meeting was certainly a "hum-dinger.' ' vVith a roomful of members and visitors present we did make things hum. Th e debate for the evening was state league question " >Resolved, That the policy of contro lling trusts is preferable to the policy of dissolving trusts ." Messrs. Angle and Woods argued on the affirmative , while Hutton and Raymond opposed them Much f1owery oratory was in evidence and the indications are that the Phlogs will be very conspicuous in the state l eag u e try-outs. However, th e judges ga ve th e d ec ision to the affirmative. After th e usual routin e of business the m eet ing adjourned.

To whom It May Concern:
Before I took up the study of commercial subjects I was undecided as to what school I should attend, hut finally decided upon the Nebraska School of Business. The more I become acquainted with the instructors and their method s. the more I am convince d that my cho ice was an excellent one Its pr in cipal instructors are teachers of long experience in this line of work, and are personally interested in the school. Their methods are thorough and the equipment is up to date.
'It is with pleasure that I recommend this school to any one who is thinking of preparing to teach commercial subjects or doing office work.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HILL.
''List en, father l Do you hear that horse's hoofs ?"
'' Hush your excitem ent, l\Iarion I hop e yol'.. ar e not exp e cting th a t young rebel here again tonight ?'' A slight sigh escaped from the slender, animated young lady, and a creeping pallor r eplac ed th e rosk cheeks and laughing eyes. She stood calmly l eaning against a large whit e pillar, her brown ey es serious, h er hai1; blo wing in soft dark ringlets in contrast with her shimm ery pale blu e gown.
''Yes, I s ee a and rid er turning down our drive from the Milbrook road! '' A sudd en bre eze whisk ed through the leaves of the imm ens e oaks and the Allegheny vines and relieved th e still, breathless air of the .July evenmg.
..Wh en the shiny bay horse arrived at the stone st eps of the Oliver home , th e tall athletic :fignr e of a young Southern soldier dismount ed. He saw the back of Mr. Oliver disappear , as the s cre en door slammed with a ban g , and its old lo ck cli ck ed defiantly. Richard Sulliv an thrust his hands firmly into his pockets and look ed up with an earn est inquisitive expression. ''Good evening, ,Marion; I am fairly stifled with this heat. You are the coolest look ing object I have seen today."
''I am glad to see you, Richard.''
" Hello!" called a che ery voice, whos e owner imm ediately came out on to the veranda '' Or-I mean, how do you do , l\1r. Sullivan?''
Marion ' s father always called her younger sister , Katharine, '' l\1y Little Bunch of Sunshine.'' Her hair fell over her shoulders in short little bunches of loving y ellow curls. At this moment dimples played in h er che eks, and there was a curious smile in h er blue ey es. whi ch were shaded by heavy clark lash es.
" Very w ell, thank you, l\Iiss Katharine. I am indeed surprised to see you at home this ev ening. ' '
'' Oh , I shall not bother you long , for I am on my way to the garden right this minute. But, I must ask how a physi cian's lif e app eals to you ? "
"Yes, I almost forgot I was a practicing physician. In a week I have establish ed my r eputation as 'the lVIilbrook Doctor.' I like it ve ry much-especially vvhen at on e and the sam e time I am called to three or four patients , w1io all live several w eary miles apart.''
A f evv hours later , when Katharine approa ched the door of the drawing-room, she h eard th e voi c es of two men , speaking d ecidedly, as if they were in deep argum ent, and neither one able to persuade the other. "I wish to settle this question at once, and for always,'' she heard her father say. "I tell you finally, l\Ir. Sullivan , I do not like you. You are a Southerner, and were not only a rebel in war, Five
but one at heart. I cannot give you my cons ent to marry my daughter.''
"1 was born a Southerner, and that is not my fault, Mr. Oliver. I swear to you that I lov e Marion. I have always loved her, and I assure you that I would do anything and everything within my utmost power for her. ' '
John Oliver took his resolute eyes from the younger man ' s face, turned, and leaned with one arm on the ancient mant el. He heard nothing more, but gazed with faraway unseeing eyes into the dull glow of the burnirig logs.
The apple orchards were laden with their abundance of luscious red fruit, grapes hung in great purple clusters, and the old stone wall was lin ed with a gorgeous array of richly colored old-fashioned flowers as Doctor Sullivan and his wife drove up the lane, r eturning from their honeymoon. Neither spoke, but each gazed anxiously inthe dir ection of the veranda where the tall, erect figure of a man stood. His dark hair was tinged with gray and his chin was square and firmly set. There w ere lines of care around his clark steel-blue eyes which looked out from bushy black eyebrows. But his eyes were always on the woman, nev er on the man.
Marion's heart thumped madly. "Richard, I don't know of anything that 'I can say to father. I feel as if the bottom had dropp ed out of everything."
''I know, this is a very hard trial, Marion, but I am the one to say whatever should be said.''
"Oh, but what can you It seems impossible for him to forgive us.''
'l'he carriage stopped, and they climbed meekly up th e steps which seemed only to lead to unavoidabl e humiliation. Richard dared to break the silence. ''Mr. Oliver, I--"
''Come in, Marion,'' was the only response.
A few minutes later, Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan drove rapidly along towards their new home in Milbro-ok. Faster and fast er they went.
"Anything to get away from the stinging silenc e of that man,'' said Richard, with a full throat .
''The visit was a failure, a complete failure. I kno w now that he will never become reconciled to our marriage.'' She was almost in tears.
"Yes, it was a failure. But our happiness cannot be a failur e It must b e a success!"
Cold perspiration stood in drops on his for ehead. ''He has refused to ever speak to me again. Are you sure you are not a particle lacking in your faith in me,
"You know that I am not," was all she could utter.
'' 'J1arion, you are an angel. We shall soon
be h ome no>v, and by our own fir esid e, an d t'b er e we shall liv e tog eth er, a lw a ys."
'' Always,' ' she said m ee kly But in h e r thoughts h er h ead eri ed out, '' Oh , fath er d ea r, I lov e you so. Ca n 't you e ver- forgive u s'!"
A few days b ef or e Ch ristlllas, Katharin e, almost hidden by h er hug e whi te furs , ru s h ed into h er sist er's parl o r with a n ex tra amount of p leas ur e showing in h er bright eyes and glowing ch eeks. " H e llo , both of you. How c h ee rf uL · th e fir e l ooks, a nd th e holly decorations. Hav e yo u all of yo ur C hristmas bundl es ready yet, Marion 1 Hi clu tt·d, there i s a knock at yo ur office door.''
" I wonder who else is sick'!" ex postulat ed the physician. '' lt seems as if, since 1 hav e bee n the l\filbrook <1o eto r· , e v nr·y hofl y i s ge ttin g siek. ''
" 'vV e ll, it is easy enou g h to see why," KatlHlrin e responded wi t h a lau g h "Yo ur goon look s h elp you a great deal, of c ours e.''
'' I guess I am not so handsome this tim e, for it is only a l e tt er ," Richard declared. """W hy , what is this ? It looks like an invitation. Yes, it i s."
"\¥hat to? " inquir ed Marion eage rly.
"Why, it's to a r ece ption to be given by Governor Douglass in honor of Judge Evans and his daughter of Philad elphia.''
'' Oh , yes,'' K atharine h astene d to ex plain '' 'l'h ey are only to be h er e a few days. I hav e h eard that H el en E va n s is very popul ar in Phila d elphia society. Vi,Te received an invitation this morning, and father said that h e was quite a nxious to go, because he had always want ed to meet Judg e Evans.'' Marion and Richard gave eac h other a very curious glance. "It is to b e on N e w Year's eve You both must b e sure to go , b eca use it r eally will be a d e lightful party, and everybody will b e there ''
'' Oh, of cours e w e sha ll go,'' Marion ans w er ed.
At the r ece ption t h e spac ious rooms were hr-i g ht with holly and evergree n. Th ey fill ,ed with a ceasel ess buzz a nd c hatt er , which so nnd c cl as if eve r ybody was talking at onc e Th e li g hts , which shon e through l a rge cry stal e hande li er s, glitter ed down on the gayly d eesse d c rown in eve nin g cost um e. 'l'here was a profusion of satin gowns with trains, and th en' were strings of pearls and the flash of diamonds.
Katharine kn ew that h er fat h e r and brotherin-law did not speak to eac h other, but she h ad hopes that tonight t h ey would do so for society 's sake. But to h er bitter disappointm e nt th ey pass ed eac h other in co ld non-r ec ognition. H e r h ea rt l eaped fQrward a nd came down with a thump! " How awful that su c h a thing co uld go on in our fam il y ! '' s h e t hought. '' vVhy shouldn't they b e friends 'I 'l'h ey are both so stubborn, but there is no real reason. 'l'h ey mu s t b e friends.!' '
THE A DVOCATE
Wh en th e littl e schem er was in a secluded corner with h er fath er, she said confidingly to him, ' '.Father, d ear, I kn o w this is it tender lrject wi t h you, but it is a s ham e that yon aml ltic hanl ean 't be fri ends J{ ea lly, I think Ri chard lik es yo u ve ry much , fo r t h e other day I overheard him say h ow proud b e was to be t h e son-in-l aw of a man who was so well known and lik ed in his vi cinity, and who had done so mu ch for it You see , the hill b e tween you and Ri c hard seems to very steep. But why do n ' t yo u tr y ha rd to climb to the top, so yo u can sec the oth er side of it-his
::\I r. Oliver b etray ed a s light look of conf usion at t h e id ea, but ha ste n ed to say, " l think yo u do n ot entirely understand, K at harin e.''
" P er h aps not," she admitt ed . But she lm n\Y tl111t what had said h a d fo nntl a tiuy patltlray to lr er father's h eal't.
A few minut es l a t er Katharine had a chance to speak to Ri chard alone. '' Do you know ' ' J L " I ' s t e Jegan, t tat 1t would be ve ry ni ce inde ed if yo u a nd father were " I a m afraid that can n eve r b e, Katharin e. "
"Oh, I don 't know. The other day I overheard him say that h e was very proud to hav e so_n-in-law who was so successful in his prof es siOn, and one who w as co nsid er ed by e very one to b e such a skill fu l surgeon.'' lti c harcl lo o!ce cl up at h er dubiously , but s aw only seriO us reassurance m h er face.
It was four o 'c lo c k in the gray, thr ea t e ning afternoo n of the thirteenth of February when .Mr. Oliver hi s book shut, suddenly sto od up b es1de his desk, and then began to pace the floo r again. H e had in vain tried to but it was i mpossibl e: "Yes," h e thought, I h ave done th1s same tlnng over and o v er for a week, and it is b ecom ing unb ea rabl e som ething must be clone!'' Katharine was much wo r se. S h e lay in an upp er c h amber in a clanburning fever. "Kat harin e, if anyt lun g should happ e n -to you--'' 'l'h e t h ou g ht revolved madl y again a nd again in his n:tincl. "It seems ve ry strang e that, with these s1x prominent ph ys i ci a n s, nothin g can b e clon e for h er. Oh, she can not " but h e co uldn ' t t hink of it. '' Do ctor Samu e lson said it might be a very good plan to ca ll in Richard Sullivan. It 's the only thing l eft to do; I will do it.' '
.A fe w hours lat er, John Oliver was again in his study, but in a very different state of mind Relief had co me at last. ''She is mu ch bett e r no>v," h e thought, "yes, mu c h b ette r. She will get well, they say! She w ill get well!''
H e turned and looked out of the window. Outdoors eve rything was in confu sion . Th e piercin g north wind bl ew treacherously around the house and rattl ed the window panes. It carr i ed with it the fast th i cken in g snow and blew tha t which had already fallen in great whit e clouds, which look ed ghostly in the bla c kn ess of the night. '' \:Vhat a night!' ' h e
shivered. "Sullivan cannot go hom e now , the storm is too bad. li e would los e his way ! I shall hav e the nurs e tell him to stay here tonight."
The n ext morning Richard stepped out on to the slippery porch. His father-in-law had come out and was on the steps severa l feet al1ead of him. Suddenly Ri ch ard saw him slip ,- aJHl fall ! H e picked him up quickly and l'aLTied the JinlJ), unconseious body into t he
ho us e. Still holding th e man 's h ead in his arms, he brought him hack to consciousness. Oliver open ed his eyes slowly, and the two men look ed at eac h other face to face Then the tense, drawn expression on each one melted into a submissv e look of understanding. They had climb ed with all their stre ngth , and had at la st the top. 'l'hcy looked,-and eac h th e other sid e of the hill.

''Say, you guy in the red sw e ater! Limber np th ere! \\'hat do you t hink this is '! ilfaking a bow at your partner 'I Get clown on the lin e!'' 'file \·oicc of Coach Larrigan cracked out on the frosty air lik e a tightly-drawn whip end .
Cal "t h e gny in the red sweater," felt the slow angry c rimson h eat up into his face. He snapr)ed his jaws togeth er and crouched lower in his place on the lin e. ''Guy in th e r e d sweater! '' I;arrigan, th e new coac h , didn ' t know that that red sweater and it s precious hhick " D" h ad been \\·on the year before by that very sam e "g uy " in tack ling the line just as he was doing it now Bitter indignation at being "called down" befor e new rec ruits burned within him.
''You bonehead! G et down on that lin e or I ' ll put you ou:t," th e voice of the thoroughly exasperated coach again stung him.
Cal straightened up with flush ed face. ''I am down on the lin e as far as I can get,'' h e retorted hotly. "I did this way last y e ae and-- ' '
"That'll be about enough from you. Beat it! '' Larrigan was never the man to brook hack talk from a player , ne>v m· old. "You stand over there on the side until you ca n keep a civ il tongue in your l1e ad! All ready, fellow s! lJ-16-44-2! Signals , th er e! Hold 'e rn Don 't l e t 'e m through that way! Signals! ''
As Ca l moved slowly away he heard the cr isply-giv en signals , h ear d the rush of fe et and the impact of hard boy hodies aga inst on e anotlwr. His feet dragg e d a cross the field to the gy m Once h e look ed ha ck. 'J'h c g-ame 1 as going on just as \Y ell withou t him. Last vear th ey co uldn't have done without him. No one c"ould tackle or hold th e lin e lik e Cal Mal er. No one could ginger up the way h e co uld. And now- - Pnt out of a mere practice game for something last year's c oach had painstakingly taught him.
As he took his shower and slowly donned his dothes , his anger gecw and Larrigan became a slave-dri\'e e to him , with no \\ ' Ord of praise, only condemnation. By the time h e reached his room h e was an abused star, with no chance to show what was really in him.

As he op e ned his door a rnsh of cigar ette smolre gre e ted him . Stretched full l ength on his couch, his silk -clad ankles el evated toward th e ceiling , lay Victor Newbury.

''Hello!'' l1e growled, tossing his books into the corner. "\Vhat you want?"
"G·ee, whiz, Cal! Aren't you the co rdial guy! Say 'please' and I'll ease that huming curiosity.'' Victor raised hiinself on his elbow and assumed a grin supposed to be one of jovial good fellowship · · ·
''Cut it out! I don't f ee l lik e jimmying with yo n. If you want to tou c h me for five bones you can chase yourself; I haven't got it and won't hav e for three we eks. ''
''O h, g e t :hn'ffy now ;" returned th e evergood natur ed Victor Th en h e suddenly straightened up. "I don't want to touch you for a fiv e Fa c t is I 'm in a position to giv e yon a five or two myself if y e n '11 take it. "
' ' \Vhat you g iving s coffed Cal. '' Any time I see you handing out fiv e s, I don't. it, you liv e off the rest of us fe l l ows."
Victor overlooked th e latter remark and came over where Cal was l eaning against the window fram e
'' 8ec h er e , l\Ialcr, '' h e Eai d in a l ow tone , " llon "t let's quarrel. You c an b e of sen- i cc to m e and I can help you to a good thing if yon 'll only he de ce nt."

Even at that mom ent a s ens e of lrumor twist ed Cal's lips. Victor's word of honor ?

A wimpus grows about as big as a pooglebug, but it h a s a long tail lik e a collywop and has wings like a b earcat. It lives in th e tops of high tre es, ·whence it flies down to attack def ens el ess travelers. However, no harm is to be feared from a vvimpus if you know what to do wh en you se e him coming. It is folly to shoot at th em , for a wimpus cat ches bullets in its t ee t!l and eats th e m . 'l'h e only way to do when a w1mpus comes at you is· to tak e a s.mall pi ece of chees e , eith er Edam or Swiss, and tack it> s ec urely on a waterfall. Th e w i mpus makes a swoop at th e chees e and g ets mix ed up with the wat erfall and gets its f ee t wet. It makes wimpus as mad as all-g et-out wh en he g ets Ius fe et w e t, and so he hunts around for a nic e pi ece of grass to dry them on. Th e minut e· th e wimpus lights on the grass th e hunt er rushes at him and tics h is tail ip a doubl e bow-knot. Wh en the wimpus has his tail tied in a bowknot he is gone , b ecause when h e :fli es he always ducks his h ead under his body to· see who is following him, and in doing this h e gets his h ead caught in th e a rid chokes hims elf to death: • · ' , , • 0 : ..

To whom It "!\'lay Concern:
Before I took up t he study of commercial subjects I was und e cided as to what school I should attend, but finally decided upon the !Nebraska School of Business. The more I become acquainted with the instructors and the il: method·s, the more I am convinced that my choice wa s an excell e nt one. Its principa l inst r uctors are teachers of l ong experience in this line of wo r k, and are personally int e rested in the school. The i r methods are thorough and the equipment is up to date. 1t is with p l easure that I r e commend this s c hool to any on e who is thinking of pr e p a ring to t eac h commercial s u bjects or doing ofl'ice work.

JUNIOR PLAY
FRIDAY, DEC. 12
THE
VO L UME X I X
JUNIOR PLA Y
The junior play was certainly a success, and the class should be proud of the cast. The play is the one b i g event of a class during its junior year, and the members of 1915 made the most of it. A large crowd gathered in the auditorium at the high schoo l l ast Friday evening, and enjoyed every minute of the i r stay.
.Junior girls acted as ushers, each one wearing rosettes and ribbons in the class co l ors. The colors also appeared in other decorations.
The first two acts of the play are laid in England, the l ast two in India. Christopher .Jedbury, .Jr., has been extravagant, and knowing that his father is to visit him, moves into less fashionable quarters. Many amusing experiences arise from this Ted Lyman took the part of Christopher, .Jr., and better acting could not be found since the junior play of l ast year. It comes to pass that Christopher, .Jr got into a scrape in Trinidad, and was married to a person he neve r saw . He did not gi ve his own name, but that of Tom Bella.by, h i s friend. Many inc i dents occur following this Be ll aby, pl ayed by Cable .Jackson, falls in love with Christopher's sister, Ne lli e. Chri stopher falls· in love with Dora Headway, the niece of a rich u n c l e. Mary Helen All ensworth, as Nellie, and the leading l ady, Helen Humpe, as Miss Headway, cou l d make the audience laugh or cry at will. Everything ends happily, Christopher finds out that ·. Dora is the woman he married in Trinidad, and they live 'happily ever after.
The servants, ·whi mper an d .Job, were p l ayed by Louis Shostak and Floyd Oldt, and both were excellent. Frank Fow l er as M r. Glibb and Faith Harr i s as Mrs. Glibb, were an interesting pair. Fowler managed his speeches very well. Leon Williams and Georgian Adams, as Mr. and 1\'Irs . .Jedbury , would never speak to each other except through the servants. Mr Headway, the unc l e of Dora, was very comica l with his eyeglass and his manner of saying "chess " Last of a ll , the v illain, Simpson, was played by a person whom some said was Evei·ett Angle . · On the whole , it was a fine p l ay and much credit is due to . Coach Davis .
ATHLETICS
The large number of basketball clemons are getting in great form to be in line for the state champions hip. There are only two of l ast ye-ar's men t.o p l ay on the team , but there is pl enty of material to fi ll up t h e gaps left in our team.

A THOUGHT
B e ing a Se rm o n of the Mount a nd of th e Wooded Valley
A certain family for many generations ha s had eac h member plant an e lm tree near a s prin g wher e the first land w as broke n by the plow of the ha r dy pioneer who had migrated to t h e frontier and founded this family two s ons ca me to the age when it was customary t o plant the tree, one chose a spot shielded from the winds of t h e prairi e and protect e d by the hills on all sides The oth er son planted his elm on the hill top; s ubject t o the rattling wind and the driving gale. In the course of time they grew, tall and stalwart, each s hading the ground with its leave s.
One night a storm of unu s ua l fiercen ess swept ov e r the country The hills offered no protec tion, t h e wind swept e v e ry nook , and practically at the first blow the e lm in the valley was broke n, but. tbe e l m on the hilltop withstood the storm
So it is with men lik e Lincoln But s h elt e r t hem from hardships and at t h e first blast they di e. Have them on the hilltop and they stand unscathed until they fina ll y fa ll undermined by age-not trouble-or are shattered by t h e li g htning.

SCHOOL SPIRIT
"School Spirit" is a term that we often use and often hear used on many occasions. Did you ever stop to think just what it really means to you? It is c losely related to class spirit, for !YOU generally notice that the fellow iWho is a strong supporter of his c l ass, is a strong supporter of his school. A fellow doesn't have school spirit only at basketball or football seas'on but e should have it all the time · The ain idea is to have the right feeling towards the school, its teachers, and your mates If you want to make something of yourself, now is the time to begin. If you belong to a club, get out and be a worker. If you aren't a great football player, go 'to the games and root. But most of all, don't be a grouch and if things go wrong, keep a stiff upper lip . I think that there is some school spirit in every fellow here but some of them have not found an outlet for it. The great idea is to find an outlet for your school spirit this semester C X.

REG'ULATJONS.
Some of t he Rule s Wh ich Govern i n t he L i ncoln H i gh School
New students· will need to keep in mind the following regu l ati-ons:
The auditorium is your place when not otherwise assigned If tardy go to your class as if on time. Student s found in the halls are suspected of being responsib l e for the disappear· ance .of things lost.
No one is excused for ·tardiness. You are required to study one period afte r 2: 4•5.
1
If absent from any class or study period you should go early as poS'sible to the office in the morning or at noon and file your reason and receive permission to return to c l ass If your excuse is sufficient, the permit will excuse you on the teacher's record; if insufficient, it will say that you are not excused If excused you will begiven credit for work missed when you make it up and report it to the teache r; if n o t excused you may need to make it up in order to understand the next higher work, but no credit is allowed in the daily record . If unexcused from the study room absence you will be required to study two periods after the Tegu lar dismissal. A los s of one day usually handicaps for two days Let us help you by giving you our experience for it, it never pays to lose the connection in this school.
You should never drop any or all of your subjects without first obtaining pe rmission of the principal.
Students who have the privileges of commencing their day at a period after the first, should go to the offi-ce if they arrive before time for their classes All loiterers in the halls are under suspicion of be-ing light-fingered. Do not l et yourself fall into that class e ven by appearance.
"Thomas ," said his mother severely , "some one has taken a big piece of ginger cake out of the pantry ."
Tommy blushed guiltily.
"0, Thomas, " she exclaimed, "I didn' t think it was in you."
"It ain't all," replied Thomas "part of it' s in Elsie."

THE YORK GAME.
In a -close and hard fought battle, the York high school basketball tossers scored a victory of 29 to 25 from the Lincoln high school team at t h e Y. M C .A. last Saturday nigh t. Bo th teams were always in sight of victory and the score stood near l y even throughout the game. If the Lincoln boys made a point, the ' York boys wou l d make one and vise versa. Cox was easily the star of the visit ors, he making nineteen of the twenty-nine points. He was true in his throws and a wave of confidence swept over the p layers when he was ready to make the throws
The next game will be with Omaha on Saturday of this week. T his will be one of the big games o r the season. Be there and boost for Linco l n H igh, 25c.

" That wint e r at Va ll ey Forge was a tu r rible , turrib l e winter, " said o l d Bob l' ah·in to his com rad e of those days when the Yank ee s were having the t ime of t h e ir liv es trying to save th e-ir live s.
" Th ey sure was," r e join e d Big Ben , patting his short stump of an arm which confirmed his pal's words.
" C'al , do you remember the morning rou got huffy at Cap Rin n er?"
Calvin nodded his grizz l ed heacl with a sad smile and said, "Yes, and do you r ememb er how it ended?' '
" .Ben, boy , I will n eve r forget that day, and es peciall y th e l ook General Washington gave m e Yo u remember how we were fixed that week. The coffe e was hardly to be call ed by that specific name and eve n the hardtack was only something to a g gravate our pa l ates. why , I could have eaten a ('hinaman's meal with a better appet i te. And t h at bitter cold, with all o.f our boys almost at a po i nt of deserting- if it was not for their p lu ckiness. "
" You came mighty n e ar it, didn ' t you , Ca l ?" Ben interrupted him
" Yes, and h ow I wish that the C'ap bad given m e a little of what we ga vc that old tramp the other day "
And her e t h e t wo old men stopped t o chuckle over the hug e jok e of Olci Ca l.
"And Ben ," resumed Ca l " when the boys twitted me of b e ing a quitter, it was about all T could stand. I went to m)' te n t and inst ead of cooling off , I got a ll th e worse. [ could see the boys sitting around th e meagre fire. trying to keep warm , the ir boots worn and their c l othes all tattered and to r n; and all bloody. not from wounds of battle , bu t from wounds of co l d and privation \:Vhy , boy, I co uld not k ee p my anger down. I went to the captain's tent prepar e d to give him a piece of m y mind I found C aptain Rinner sta ndin g in front of his tent his arm s b e hind his back , his fixed on a distant hill. His face wore an e xpre ssion that made me wish for a minute that I had not come. But those bitter pictur es sent. me forward and I stalked up to him and , sa l uting him stiffly , blu r ted out:
"Ca ptain , if r e lief does not com e pretty awful quick, yo ur company is going to lo se some m e n .··
" Th e w ay h e turned hi s deep brown e yes upon m e mad e m e recoil a step or two. His face , too showed signs of hung er and cold and his uniform had seen b ette r days.

LINCOLN HIGH BEAT OMAHA.
l•'ighting desperate l y from start to finish as if each field goa l meant a v ictor y , the Lincoln high school basketball quintet won over the Omaha high school five in a fast, hard fought and well p layed game Saturday night at t he city Y M. C. A. gymnasium by a 23 to 16 score. The seating capacity on both floors was filled to tne utmo st by the Lincoln suppo rt ers and t h e Lincoln high school band.
'l'he work of Morris and Hager a t g uard, the manner in which Morris scored hi s field goals, and the bask et shooting of Gardiner were f e atures of the contest. The game started fast, Lincoln scoring first. The enti r e first ha lf was a see-saw affa ir in the sco ring, the figures at the end of t h e first half sta ndin g 10 to 8 in fa vo r of incoin. Th e work of the Omaha g u ards, which was the only hope the metropolis team h e ld out for victory over the Red and B lack five , was satisfactory, a l though t he inability of the Purple and W -hit e tosse rs to cage the ball after many exce ll ent chances, was partly responsible for the defeat. Thurston Morris m ade a spectacu lar fie l d goal from t h e center of the floor <luring the first half. He was the individual star of t he victors.
The conflict was not rou g h on Linco ln's part, Rtferee Waugh calling but five fouls on t h e Red and Black r epresentatives, while their opponents were charg-ed with twe l ve. The incoin toss e rs wou l d have roll ed up a much la r ge r score had Morris be en more competent in his free t hrows
Th e scoring i n the second half came steadily by both teams, with the victors the aggressors in this department. The capita l city lad s outc l assed their in floor work as well as basket shooting. The Omaha r ep r ese ntativ es were only ab l e to scor-e t hree field goa l s during th e second half, which is explaine d by the good work of Hager and Morris at g uard
Linco ln 's victory was t h eir sec ond this season Th e Red and Black flippers will make a return trip to the Gate City March 7. Mulligan has now developed one of th e best teams in th e state, and should be ab l e to sta nd a fa ir chance with any five in the sta-te, es p ec iall y with the Beatrice high quinte t, which they meet next Saturday night.

ENROLLMENT.
Our enrollment to date is above that of the four previous We have now 1 ,062. The number enrolled in the first semester of each of the past four years is as follows :
As I expected , ev erything went off' 0. K. the firs t day at school. Everybody was kind, especially one fellow, who saved me half a: dollar. I was standing in the upper hall when a boy who looked like he might be a senior came up to me and said : "Hello, what have you got the sixth period today?" I puHed out my card and told him that I would probably be in the auditorium "You d'on '.t say so," he yelled; "you 're just the guy I'm looking for!" He then told me that in order to buy seats for the new high school the school board was making everybody pay a dollar for a seat in the auditorium. He said that he · bought one for the first and sixth periods, and that he wouldn't need the one for the sixth so I could have it for In Qrder to prevent loss so far as fifty cents. While he was talking a possible, a c ommittee of the faculty boy came along and said: "Say, Bill , has been ap,Pointed by · the principal, have you got that ticket for the audi- those who · have •volunteered to tor!um yet?

During the six of winter whiah will therefore ensue we strongly recom. mend one of our KENSINGTON OR KUPPENHEIMER OVERCOATS AT Vt;, Y4 & Ys OFF.
The faliing of;f. of the second year was due in a very large measure to the advance in tuition. Of our present enrollment, 528, or 49.71 per cent, are boys. Of the loss from our total enrollmeJ;J.t this y ear, a part is due to the second ' increase of tuition , which was not known to the stud-ep.ts when they enrolled; a number of others have moved to other cities.

MUSIC NOTES.
The new song books purchased for the use of the assembly have made possible regular practice of the whole high school in cho ru s singing. In addition to that a chorus of nearly 100 has met twice a week, and are preparing to render the opera "Martha" in February, and repeat it at the festival in March. There are thi rty-two students taking the course in Music Appreciation and Harmony •
Of these, twenty- on e took exami nation s in private lessons on the piano, one on the violin, one on the 'cello , one on cornet, and one on the alto horn The band has had a mem hers hip of about forty-five. Their abil i ty secured for them a place in the German Day parade, for which they were paid This money will be used to provide necessary music for it and the orchestra. This latter organization has also be en very successful, and will appear later in concert. The examination of the piano pupils was given last week by Professor Lansberg of Omaha, and the examination for band and orchestra instruments will be given by Professor Loeb of Lincoln The students pay for these examinations t'heir share of the whole cos t. We have urged stu dents interested in art to avail themselves of the co urses offered in drawing in the University on Saturday.

A VISIT TO THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
By Emma Givens, En Route to the Philippines.
After abo u t three days at sea. I began to r ealiz e that the ocean was an immense expa n se of water. After
seven days of steaming from San Francis co, we reached Honolulu, F r iday morning, the seventh of February. I motored with some steamer friends for nearl y five hours and saw most of t he places of interest, such as the queen's old home (which is now used for government offices), Diamond Head, 'Dhe Punch Bowl, Pacific Heights, The Pali, Cocoanut Drive, the Military Post, an d many others. It was there at Honolulu that I tasted the best •casaba me l ons and pineap·Pl es. I had lun ch at the Moana Hotel, which is a most beautiful place with its tropical gardens; the dining h all extends out over t h e water, which comes rolling and tumbling as it b r eaks on t he long sandy beach when the tide comes in; the sea breeze a l one is sufficient to give one an appetite. I visited the Aquarium, wh i ch is said to be one of t he finest in the world ; when looking at the va.rious kinds · and co lored fis h, on e could hardly b elieve that their d elicate tints were real and not painted. The \Vykaiki beach is the famous pleasure r esort of Honolulu. We again set sai l in the afternoon at five o'c lock on the longest lap of our voyage. Both going out and coming into the harbor at Honolu l u, Hawaiian boys were swimming beside the steamer and begging for money; w h en it was th rown over to them they wou l d dive for it and w:hen they came up the mone y 1vo uld be in their mouth or ea r s , and they we r e {!alling for more.

Th e long expected band assembly was held Friday morning The band was there in f ull force In spite of a sore throat , Mr Herman Sc"hroder played his solo part " all by himself" in the finale. Fat plays the drums Under the direction of Mr Greenslit the band played exceptiona ll y well , and the continuous app lause by the school showe d how we ll the student appreciate th e labor that has been expended to make the band such an organization . The following selections were given : Living Picture s Dalbey :\Ielodies from Bohemian Gir'l Dalbey 'l'he Old Church Organ Chambers Apple Blossoms . . ........ . .. Roberts Southern Breezes Atherton
The basketball players and Coach Mulligan was ca ll ed to the stage and each gave a short talk full of encouragement concerning t h e Beatrice game. " Lincoln Will Shine Tonight " was then sung
SOCIETY FEDERATION.
A new soc ie ty for boys has been proposed , that will include the Cice ronian , Phlogiston and Ptolemy societies The idea is to have the three societies · meet in joint session once a month as an organization to be known as the Lincoln Model Senate.
The "Senate " will f ollo w carefully the routine of our national senate. · This will be an excellent way to train fut ur e law makers and to familiarize the general student body with the legislative department of the federal government
Th e "Senate" will have its own officers, committees, etc Each society will represent a politica:J party and naturally some close d ebates are expected The three soc ieties will meet as usual on their regular nigh ts, save onc e a month, when they will assemble in the auditorium. Th e president will call the meeting to order and the senators will expound their doctrin es a nd opinions on currency, tariff and other questions.
The three societies have shown their approval of the idea by a_p pointing committees to devise a constitution. It is to be hoped that the plan will soo n be in active operation.

The market va lu e of the me dal is placed at twenty-liv e dollars-its real

E DITORIAL.
The credit for this issue goes to t h e English class mentioned above. Especial attent ion should be given the fact that it has had less t han a week's preparation. Notice was given the members Thursday, and as a ll COP Y must be in on Friday one cannot readi ly understand how they have gotten up this issue in so short a time.
The students nobly responded to t h e · appeal in the last issue asking for material to make a better paper. Now we come seeking suggestions so that we ma y improve the paper Of. course all suggestions will not be followed. Many have been given, but for the most part they are impractical. We cannot cut down the advertising space and we can't conduct exchange and half a dozen other columns, for our space is limited. If we can utilize you r ideas we will be glad to. Your co -operation will make this not only the largest but the best high school weekly in the United States.

This game was won by Stat e Farm , on account of thr e-e things. L. H S played rings a round th e m , but the ball would jump right in and out of th e ba s ket; but at that th e score ended 13 to 14. An other reason for defea t was the loss of McCloy, who was out with a bad knee, bu t it will be 0 K. for the Beatric e game. Morris and Le-ese said they never s hot a t so many goals in their liv e s without making them, and said they never came so c lo s e without making them That is about all tha t can be said about this game , as it was reall y not a game , more of a comedy about th e c lass of " Unc le Tom's Ca'bin."

Our big s crap has finally come to an end. A t our meeting Friday Walt Schoeder wa s elected president over Leon William by a majo ri ty of five votes. The fact t hat over one hundred were preB!6nt at the meeting shows the interest that was taken in this election .

I had lun c h at t h e Grand hot€! , wher e they se rv e d F;u rop ea n food , and in the afternoon we visited many stores where they had beautiful silks and embroid e ri es, all that the he art could wish. You never lind chairs in a store unless they are catering to tourists. The Japanese are very clean about the ir J;ers ons and homes, 'but the st r eets for the most part are narrow and dirty and t h e smell of fish and gar li c penneat es the air in practically all of th e m. Many of the Japane s e gir ls ar e very pr·etty and their c lothes are quaint. and dainty However, if an European girl would try to wear such co lor combinations the result would resemble a crazy quilt. On e thing I noticed among t lH! majority of the Japanes e is that they u s ualf!•y have pearly white teeth, and they seem to b e very proud of them, except the married women , whose c ustom it i s to blacken theirs.
The tea hous es are v e ry frequent bo t h in the towns and on the pretty little drives which lead out from them but not all of them look very inviting Some. however, are very cosy , and it is certainly refreshing to sit down and enjoy a cup of good tea, and the Japanese surely know how to make it, as it is such a frequent beverage with tli em. I ,·isited some of the ir temp les, which l ooked very odd to m e; many things on the inside which I presum e are pretty to th-em, looked very to me. There seemed to b e someone at the temp les praying all of the time , and the incense and candles were burning continually. Th e r e are many image s which are e nough to frighten one. I enjoyed the visit at Yokohama v e r_v much, and the Japanese seem such a very industrious people. W e sai l ed from there very much socmer than any one cared to, wh i ch wa s J?riday, the 20th.

hoidt All of these teams are fast and have good records so far this season There are many other good teams to be here but these are among the best These games are to be played at the Uni Armory, and at the City Y M C A., thus relieving to some extent the icongestion; which was evident last year at the Uni Armory.

UNI. PLAC E GAME.
Last Wednesday for the second time this year the Scarlet and Black went down to defeat before the Uni. Place high school five.
It was the current opinion held by the home team and school that they could easily wipe out the defeat the Alethodists gave us the first of the season Both teams were in fine shape and Uni Place had a hard fight for every basket thi-own In no way did the visiting quintet outclass us entirely. The teams were evenly matched and the game was both exciting and fast
L H S was in good form and displayed its usual fine ball playing abilities and team work hut Uni Place was just the trifle faster that.is required to make the victorious team
The game was well attended and enthusiasm was high From the first basket thrown the interest was high and the game was fast. Lincoln was defeated while fighting gamely
The second half opened witli swift playing and Mulligan's squad contested each basket gained Uni Place gradually pulled into the lead farther and farther
Lineup: Lincoln Uni Place Mc'Cloy rf Magee Leese if Eichherg (c) Albrecht (c) c , . Grubh iiorris ig Baney Hager rg Cole
Referee: Waugh, Lincoln
The Lincoln five still plays Omaha at Omaha and we have not lost our confidence in them We believe that they can easily send Omaha down to defeat again

Mr Goodrich, to whom we owe so ranch, directs the whole club over these minor directors Prom now on those who sin,g in public are to be known as the real workers and credit, deservers, while those who make themselves ineligible had not ouglit to let themselves be seen around school at all Only a feware now ineligible, and they are soon to get down to business

EDITORIAL
The mania for speed in L H S came to a climax last week, when a certain well known junior essayed to take the Science Hall stairs in a single step
The junior class has a reputation tor speed, but never before has anyone attempted such a feat
T L shot, step after step, do-ivnward Midway in his course he tripped a girl, who fell in his lap When they reached the bottom she was a little dazed and did not rise immediately Thereupon Ted politely remarked: "Madam, this is as far as I go."
So you see the spirit of speed predominates in a certain class, and to a portion of that class we owe this issue
NAGASAKI HARBOR
By Emma Glvens
I thought it the prettiest place we had visited in Japan, for here, too, the entrance to the bay is very narrow and tortuous, and the sides are steep mountains covered with ])ine and other trees There are many little nooks or inlets leading off the main channel, and in these are tncked awaycosy little villages The city of Nagasaki is built all around the edge of the inside bay and away up on the sides of the mountains, so it looks rather picturesque as one enters the bay
Here, as at Kobe, we had to land and go ashore In small launches, as they have no wharves A party of lis took rickashas and went over to Megi, a tishing village which is about four hours distant "We had to cross over a divide in the mountains, and so each dickasha required two men, one to pull and another to push as we went up the mountain, and to pull back or act as a brake when we went down the steep places The ride was a very pleasant one for there are so many places of interest along the way; many beautiful liltle mountain streaims, and the sides of he hills are terraced for rice ami garden truck We took lunch al the Jiogi hotel, which is run by a Japanese, but one can get European cooking there We returned to the vessel

shortly before sailing time. This place Is where so many of the vessels coal, and the work of the human hands are almost like machinery, they work with such precision The coal is brought alongside in large barges and men, women and children are employed in passing the coal on deck A series of bamboo ladders are built" from the various barges uyi the sides of the vessels and the men and women stand on the various rungS' and pass up the coal in small baskets made of woven .straw which hold about a peck of coal These baskets are passed with such rapidity that it is like steady streams of coal pouring into the ship Some of the older children help pass the coal while the smaller ones gather nj) the empty baskets at the top and throw them to the barges below to be again refilled I am sure if some of the American children had to work so hard they would think they were being killed, and anyway our laws would not permit such labor for children
MUSIC
We hear that the first year musical appreciation class is most interesting to those scheduled for it, but it is especially so to those in the auditorium first period
During the first half of the period smoothly on, occasionally interrupted by a g-g-g-glggle, nothing more For the last half of the period we hear various sound.s issuing from behind the curtain, some of which make us rejoice or imagine ourselves to be floating peacefully down some pleasant stream (Salt creek) O, they are so mournful that every other person in the front of the auditorium is seen to wipe his eyes, while the odd number blow their noses.
But we are really much pleased by this arrangement, and hope It will continue as now during the first period of the day. •Some weary idlers are kept awake, as they never before could be coaxed to do

JUNIOR CIVIC LEAGUE.
Th e who l e of Thur sday morning was given to the cause of the n ew ly organized " Junior Civi c Indu str ial League." The school was assembled in c h apel until 9:30 o'c l ock, when the students we r e divided into groups, the girls going to the Y w. C. A and the bo ys to t he Commercial Club. The g roup of boys were ad dr esse d in the Comme r cial Club dinin g room by \V. E. Hardy H i s speech was mainly on the value of actual l ea rnin g and knowledge without a scien tific educat ion. He said, "That the ability to master any one thing was the a bilit y to master a l l."

vvVe hear that at last Chet Webb has used his co l ossal b r ain to some purpose. He informs us that he has got the most wonderful idea ever thought of , and he is going to patent it. Below is one of his circulars : Dear Friend:
Knowing that you have been interested in the fur business , I take the liberty of pr ese nting you with what seems to be a most wonderful business proposition, and in which, no doubt you will take a live l y interest, and perhaps wire us the amount of stock you wish to subscribe towards formation of this compan y.
The object of this company is to operate a large cat ranch, in or near Oakl and, w·here land can be purchased cheap for this purpose
To start with, we will collect about, say one million (1,000,000) cats . Each cat will average twelve (12) kittens a year The skins run from ten (10) cents each for the white ones, to seventy-five (75) cents .each for the pure black ones. This will give us twelve million (12,000,000) skins a year, to sell at an average of 30 cents apiece, making ou r r e venue about ten thousand ($10,000) a d ay gross
Eats and D rin k s

A man can s kin fifty (50) cats a day for two ($2.00) dollars It will take one hundred (100) men to operate the ranch, and therefore the net profit of about nine thousand eight hundr e d ($9,800) dollars per day
vVe will feed the cats on rats and will start a rat ranch nex t door T h e rats multiply four times as fast as cats. If we start with one million (1,000,000) rates , we will have therefore fo u r rats per day day for each cat, which is plenty.
Now, then, we will feed the rats on th e c arcasses of the cats, from which the skins hav e been taken, giving each rat a fourth of a cat.
It will thus be seen that the business will be se lf-acting and automatic all the way through. The cats will eat the rat s and the rats will .eat the cats; and we get the skins
Awaiting your prompt reply and trusting that you appreciate the opportunity that I give you and which will get you rich quick, I remain , Very tru ly yours ,

L ONG BRANCH HIGH SCHOOL
After reading the "Cae rula," the annual publ ication pnt out by the students of Long Beach, Calif., one can rea liz e the difference between their high schoo l and ours. The girl s the r e, as a ru le, take a more active part in act ivities-debating, music, tennis, yells, etc. The -school has almost as good an orchestra a nd band as we, and in addition has a mandolin club, a gir ls' glee c l ub, a n honor roll, water polo league and pretty good c l ass s pirit. We might add that there is an excellent pictu re of Superintendent Stevens, who i s in Long Beach High School now , and a clever cartoon concern in g Mi ss Jane Fox, former L. H. S. teacher.
"MARTHA" ASSEMBLY.
Friday morning an ancient custom of calling the school together was reviv ed. The asse mbly was in the interest of the opera "Martha," wh ich is to be given Friday in the auditor i um. Professor Miller took charge, and after he had given a history and synopsis of the opera, he called upon various members of the cast to sing.

The duet by Dahl berg and Grove was appreciated. Pau l Williams sang one of hi s so lo s in an excellent manner.
1 \ l r Prince, who is coaching the actors, then spoke and told of the ab ility of the singers. He sai d that Miss Scott was acting her roll the best of any whom he had seen in that part. Miss Scott and M r Grove have been chosen to ass ist in the rendition of the Shakespeare plays to be g i ven •by the Commercial Club. H e cam mented very highly on Miss Spencer's acting.

VOLUME X I X
"MA RTHA. "
This grand opera of fiv·e acts was given by the students· of Lincoln high school Friday night, March 5, at H. S auditorium.
The play was written by Flotow, and the Lincoln high scool was the first school west of the New England states to attempt this opera, with entire stu· dent talent.
The main c haracters were: Lady Harriet, maid of honor to Queen Anne Natalie Spencer Nancy, her friend Josephine Scott Sir Tristan Mickleford Paul Williams Lionel Jose•ph Dahlb erg Plunket, a wealthy farmer
Curtis Grove Sheriff of Richmond Guy Ludi
The chorus, consisting of about sixty of the most faithful of the L H. S. students, in this production displayed unusual talent. Although more were entered in the chorus, the stage could only accommodate about sixty.
As individuals they were very carefuel in picking their cues from the musical directors.
Their costumes were gorgeous and well selected for the time of the origination of the play. The sce nery also was well arranged and helped the s p l endor of the production
In Act II Lionel and Plunket showed their skill ii1 s inging a duet. Th ey were good and were well received by the audience
I Act III Martha sang "The Last Ros e of Summer ," which was superb, and displayed Miss Spencer's ability very well. She r ece iv ed a loud applau se from the audience in apprec i ation of her talent.
The quartet consisting of :\Tartha. Plunket, Nancy and Lion e l sa ng the " Midnight Chimes " very well, and re<:e ived much applause. Thi s ac t could hardly b e beaten, even by professional actors, a nd wa s to the c r e dit of the actors and to t h e sc hool. At the end or t his song shows the escape of Ma rtha and Nancy from their mast e r. P l unket.
The most i nte re sti ng of this act i s Lionel's attempt to mak e Lad y Harriet g o with him, as h is runaway servant. In this act Lione l is arrested and his arrest unbalanc es hi s mind , for which Martha and Nancy ar·e truly sorry, and do all they can to re s tore his mind in the next act.
The same scene as in Act II is shown and the Richmond Fair scene was imitated in Act V so as to restore Lionel 's mind if possible
His mind is restored and by his ring h e is found to be Earl of Derby , and very much in love with Martha He t ells her of his love, and she of hers Mea nwhile Pltmket and Nancy a re following s uit.
Taken as a whole the play was very well p l anned and acted and was a

DEBATE . March brings the open se ason for debating. Linco l n is well equipped to deal with a ll comers, and has begun the practice with evidence of great possibi'lities for the future. The fo rmation of two teams working on the question has made possib l e much mutual imp r ovement by cooperat ion and f r equent arguments. The -ca u se for the two teams is the fact that the question chosen by Omaha in the contest for the .Amherst cup is the same as the state league question, "Reso l ved, That the policy of regulating the tr u sts is preferable to the policy of dissolving them."
Beatrice Wins , 2 t o 1.
March 2, Beatrice came with a purpose and a hope, and took the realization of both back with them. The y h ave a strong team, of which one member is a girl, who spoke second. The others debated in the following ord-e r: 'Gail -cummins and Paul Cl ark.

well. The Lincoln high gir ls learned that debating was not wholly meant for the boys.
Such is defeat, but " hop e springs eternal in the human breast," and the actua l results in the Omaha contest will be improved r ather than otherwise by the decision of jud ges in this debate.
South Om a ha Un ani mously Defeated. ·wednesday saw a grander spectacle, from the viewpoint of the Lincolnites South Omaha, to shake hands with whom the Linco'ln debaters c ro ssed the stage in the "beef packers' " town s ome weeks ag o, came down to h ave the score squared by unanimous defea:t. Lincoln l eft them no room for di ssati sfa<:!tion. Orzo Woods, Aaron Speier and Ea rl Jeffrey drove home a case and held it there. The South Omaha men are exce llent debaters. Car l Bea l could not do otherwise than co nvin ce us as he wished to and also make us r ealize that he is a "coming" man. Frank Faux held our attent ion, and the third speaker, Karl Lee, is wo rth y of his place.
The judges, however, r ende r ed a unanimous decision for the capita l c it y.

ON SNOWBALLS
Snowba ll s are a curse o r a blessing, according to circumstances. Let a r i ch man get lost in a desert, thirsty and far from water. Imagine him !lying from thirst. He wou l d stake his millions for one little snowball. Rescue h i m; place him in one of our cities on a wintry day, and let him receive these same snowballs gratis, and watch him resent the kindly donation. Such , is human nature
We all admire the man who could face a cannon without flinching. Strange that such a man will tremble in his shoes as he passes some urchins an!l a snow pile, expecting every minute to stop the progress or a hann l ess bit of f r ozen H20. To see the hat that h i s wife gave him for Christmas rolling into a mud-filled gutter. Not that he cared for the hat - he never liked it anyway -but it does grate on a person's nerves to be baffled by a two- l egged anima l that has not reached the stage of civilization when he becomes human an!l is supposed to have b.rains. It is all right to snowball at the right time in the right place, but it seems that when a boy reaches high school he shou l d exercise a l ittle discrimination

The s un set of last Friday night Presents to us a piteous sight. One without •regard for art Broke the arm that drew the dart.
Someone broke Diana's arm , Someone wrought such vandalous harm, Her pet deer's horns were also smashed, vVhen thereon some scenery cras11ed.
What can she do with just one arm?
Ala s, she's l ost most all her charm. No more she'll draw her silver arrow To smite some measley English spa rrow.
No more she'll l ead t h e festive chase, Instead in shame she' ll turn her face To t hink will not be reveared B e ca n se her arm has disappeared.
A h ! Diana, m y heart is sad , When I thln lc that some care l ess l ad vVho seemed to have naught else to do
But l et some scenery fall on you .
But never mind, Diana dear, You'll get a new arm, never fear. The civic l eague, you must remember , vVill ;;<>t a new one next December.
'fhe gir l s w ill hav., "" sal e · And make in money •by the v ;>. il : ' Not to buy a new piano, But an arm for poor Diana .
B rin g out you r nickels and your dimes And make them ring like midnight ehimes; Lay the eag l e on its back, And say, I'll take another sack. It's hard to part with them , I know; How you do hate to see them go. But chee r up, old top, it might be worse, They're safe in A lma Maryott's purse.
P lease don't h esHate and pause, Remember this is for a <:ause; Eat the junk that they call candy, Make folks thi nk it's fine and dandy
Though the bonbons may be hard , And the taffy smea red with lard , Be a martyr w i t h the rest, Let your so ul be duly blessed
A lthough the sugar was half sand, Join that brave an d fearless band; Do not l et your co ur age fa il , Do not stop to weep or wail.
The dop e t'hey put in each marshmellow vVo uld surely kill the average fe llow , They shoo t it in with an injector, So it may pass the food in spedor.

t hat the team h a s done for the school. Leese must be r ecognized as the star on the Lincoln team His fighting ability through the entire tournament showed that he had been training. He was feared by many of the teams so much that they even shifted their team around to put the best man on him.
Thursty Morris went through the battles just as h-e wen t through football games, fighting every minute and taking pride in slipping something over his opponent.
Albrecht worked on t he nerve s of the Omaha boy s by overrea:c hing them and by rid ing them to the floor. The lar ge r per cent of the fouls were called on him, bnt he wore the boy s out so bad they could not shoot baskets.
Very few of the students knew that prev i ous to the tournament McC loy was sick and did not take part until Saturday afternoon He did such exce llent work in the afternoon game that the coach dec i ded to use him in Wallace Herrick, a well known the Omaha game.

" Well, l\Iariar ," said the old man, as h e got down from the wagon seat , where he had been patiently waiting, " did you see all the animals?"
' All but two," he •said , with a sigh "I couldn't seem to find th e carnivora a nd the egress I expect they was the best part of the ·show, too."
" So you're from Buffalo? Do you !mow the 'l'impletons? I think they li ve on Delaware Avenue."
" 0 , ye•s. Our youngest boy was run ov e r by their automobile last sum· mer. "
SURE FO R " BREAKING DIANA 'S ARM. "
The one who wrote that l ast week ' s poem, Never worked a stag e, and does not know 'em.
If they had , I'm h ere to tell She would have broken all' to-pieces.
We worked the stage just for the school , It's sure no job for any fool.
The one who made the little holler, \'Vou l d have cost the sc hool full many a dollar
Next time the High School has a show, Just work the stage and then you'll know
To ho l d those old top heavy scenes Is not so easy as it seems.
There were just s ixty in the play, All running round right in the way ; Laughed and giggled i n a silly way, And what we thought won 't do to cay.
I want to say before I close, Just take this from one who knows ; You'd not only broken the arms off Diana,
But knocked the side out of the piano.
A word about the old deer's horn, Which from its head was cruelly torn, \Vas done a thousand years ago, And was not done during the last week's show. ·
I'll give you a little a dvice. Before you answer. just think twice. And when you have yo ur candy sale, I hope you sell a sing l e pail.
The boy who writes this little Verse , With Mr. Mays, h e did c onverse. He was told to nev e r mind, It wou l d be paid for - in time.
T carri·ed the scene in on my back, All the s udden I heard a crack. On looking up to my a l arm, I got hit on the h ead with Diana's arm.
I am poor· on poetr y, as eve r y one will know , If you an s wer this. please mak e it pro se.
writing poetry , J nearly can't s ir, In prose I can give a fai rl y good answer.
Harold L dn!!; e ith e r think s f aster tha n most peopk or e l se he says a lot of things he doesn't think about. Aft e r hearing him we would think that the latter was true.
"Saunders and Harris are close friends, aren't t hey ?"
" Yes ; n e ither can borrow a cent from the other "
Thi s is a good one :
" Isolate th e 11atient."
"Yes. doctor shall we put t he ice?"
J<'air Customer-! tell you that I wear a number two C- lerk -But, n1adam. t.his s ho e that you .iwi t to o k off is a uumb e r four.

" It C a n ' t B e Done "
Th e man who misses all the fun
ls h e who says " It can't be done!"
Tn .so lemn prid e he stands a l oof
And greets each venture with r e proof .
Had he .the power, he ' d efface
The history of .the human rac e;
We'd hav e no steam nor trolley cars, No streets lit by electric stars; ::-;co teleg r a ph nor te l ephone.
We'd ling e r in the age of stone, Wher e when some keen barbaric brain
Of life 's conditions dared complain, And plann ed a wheel on which to roll
Th e load his arms could not control.
Sneers rose from all the might y crew
That eve r scoffs at what is new
Th e world would sleep if things were run
By men who say, " It can ' t be done!" -Ex
An e lder l y woman , short and pud gy and of important mien. rec e ntly drove in state to one of the book stores where the rush of the Easter trade is alr eady beginning. ·
"W hat do you wi•sh madam ?" ask e d a clerk , r ec ognizing with inward mis· givings what is known as a bad cus· .tamer
"Have you got Fresh Air in Jeru· sal em?" t he woman demanded.
"W•ho · wrote it?"
" I don't know. You ought to know. Everybody is reading it."
The salesman retired to search through all the various catalogues and came back with the report that no such book had been published within a year.
" That's not true ," the old lady r etorted ' 'I'll go to •So.-andSo's where they keep up with the new books and where they have intelligent clerks ."
The customer was handed into h er carriage and the coachman wa s start· in g the hors es when she opened th e door , popped out h e r h e ad, and said :
" I know who wrote that' bookHenry v an Dyke."
" But Henry van Dyke's n ew book i s called Out of Doors in t h e Holy and, m adam."
" I don 't ca r e. It ' s th e same thing. " and on she drove.
President wilson has a fund of good stories. One that he tells i s of a little boy whom h e e ncountered at S.tault.on , Va. , the President' s birthplac e. :'lfr Wilson was spea king to a good-siz e d c rowd f rom the steps of 'the Baldwin Seminary fo r Girls, when he clis· covered a littl e •seven-year-old lad pushing a nd shoving h i s way through the crowd. The boy finally land ed in front of :'I I r. Wilson , and he shout e d excited ly:
" Wliere is it? Where is it?"
Mr Wilson stopped his speech an(\. with a broad s mil e. said good-natur e d · l y : " Well , m y boy , I guess I'm it ."

Prof. Ostwald's Talks.
L ast wee k a g reat many students of the Lincoln high school missed one of the great opportunities of their school life when they did not attend the lectures on calloids given by Professor Ostwald of Ge rmany He is certainly a good talker, for, although he was talking chiefly t o university s tudent s and professors , he explained everything so carefully ll!l!i clearly that the fe w •high schoql students who did att end had no difficulty in understanding perfectly what h e was expl aining.
The few who took advantage of the opportunity will never regret it, for they learned a great deal in a very s hort time and greatly enjoyed Dr. Os tw a ld 's amusing ex pression s and gest ur e s. If the high school st udents e ver hav e another c hance to her Dr. Ostwald it is certainly to be hoped tha t they will not let the opportunity pass.

Mi'S s Gere read a long li s t of. du t i es to be perform e d Th e re was a good supply of s oap , Bon Ami and Sapolio lying on the table, with pl e nt y of nic e clean rags, and even new sc rub brushes in the sink
After a few demiled instruction s, each student was allowed to choose s ome duty. Each student wa s so on e mplo ye d vigorousl y in cleaning up the laboratory A number of boys we r e perched on the racks wiping t hem off with wet rags, others were vigorously using the new brushes on the hood s and sinks. All the bottles on the shelves were removed and wip e d off. Others were distributed about the room washing apparatus , cleaning c upboards , polishing tools , deaning drawe rs, or liberally applying Bon Ami to the windows. (Notice the two cl ea n bright northwest windows.) The students worked bus il y with much talk! ng and many je s ts Mi ss Ge re s up e rintended the work, keeping all busy and appointing new jobs to those that finish e d some other work
B es ides cleaning the laboratory a number of students were deta il e d to c lea n the fing e r marks off t h e woodwork in room 33. A l s o the zinc an d ap paratus u se d for class expe riments.

Why, oh! why do W€ h ave to adv-ertise uun;e l ve-s? The gym is the great€st place in this schoo l. Tber€'s more hair raising, nerv e ra c king st upe ndous stunts performed up there than anyone, except those in room A, co uld e ver imagine
Math and library ar€ not the only p l aces wher€ seve nth s are dealt out. If anyone swipes your shoe you get a seventh for tardiness; if you ch€w gum-well, you get an unlimit e d number.

BASKETBALL
Basket b all i s a who l esa l€ boxing match in disguise. It is played with a l eat h er b a ll inflated with ai r , which fee l s lik e a ton of bricks when it hits one in th€ face. Th e object o f the game is to knock as many men over as poss ible and get th€ ball to go down thru the rin g. Each team has five men on a sid€ and generally one side h as a referee to h€ l p them out The ce nt er of th€ team in most cas€s cannot be see n if he turns sideway&. Basketball takes th€ place of foot-ball in the winter, and do€s its full s hare of the work

Each morning when we come to sc hool the question on our lip s is " 'Vb:at is going to happen today? Is Lhere chapel? Or is the civic league g oing on a trip? Or is there a de bate s ixth period? "
As the events which take u s from sc hool grow more numerous , the students ' faces grow brighter and t he f ace s of the fa:culty grow longer. They feel the re s ponsibility, while the students, who are really the losers, on l y sa y "We should worry. "

The third game of the inter"soci ety tournament was played at the Y. 1\1 c: A Saturday morning be tween the Ciceronian and Phlogiston societies. It was, the fastest and most exciting game that has been p layed in the tournament. Each team was backed by a loyal bunch of rooters
The first half ended with the Cicer· on ians one point in the lead At the end of the regulation time the score stood 9 to 9. It was decided to play five minutes longer, and a foul gave th e Ph l ogs an extra point which they retained until the end of the game Fanton made four field goals for the Circeroniaus and North made two field goals for the Ph l ogs.

Tennis.
Tennis i s a nice game; everybody plays it. It is excee dingly simple, which is probably the reason.
The maneuvers consist of hitting a little white round object that bounces when you don 't expect it. When the other fellow misses you win, and when you miss-you lose all your dignity and self-possession.
It is surprising what a popular game it is , since it would 'b e c la ssed a " fast game," and such things are not approved of in Lincoln high.
But it is very instructive, some even make it their chosen profession. One of our richest young men won the world's championship, and so we must play out of civic pride Follow the leader.
Tennis was invented by King Henry. He had eight wives. Perhaps that is why it is called a courting game.
A man may be an amateur at the game and yet be an expe rt at keeping score. It a lso gives or teaches the bashful man to say lo ve. We deduct that tennis is necessary to society and wonder if that is why courts flourish.

"Oz" is a freshman, ·but in the few short months that he has be€11 in L. H. S. he has managed to so conduct himself in re schoo l affa irs that many senio rs hav€ just cause to feel ashamed.
For the past se m este r the cartoons which ha ve d ecorat€d the Adv.ocate, signed by "Oz," have been drawn by Black. W€ need say nothing concerning his ability as an artist, for that i s apparent, and that he ma y become as gr€at a cartoonist as Johnson of the Saturday Evening Post i s-one of our alumni-is by no means improb ab l e Ozwald is now an officer of th·e freshman class and with the other activities he has acquired so st udiou s a look that he can easily pass as one of the facu l ty.
The Tyrolean folk dance was a repres entation in dress and cha r acter of the Tyrol peasants. Eighteen girls, with full gay -colored skirts, black velv e t bodices , wh ite neckerchiefs, full white s l eeves, a nd gay co lor ed silk hats with jaunty feath€rs, were peasants for a day. 'fhey danced in celebration of ga l a day in peasant town. Sixteen girls took part in the wand drill. Th€y were uniformly dressed in their gym suits of black. They were of exact h eight. Their movements were gracefu l and their handling of the wands would have cause d the e nvy of a squad of so ldi e r s on dr€ ss parade.

SOME MORE "MARTHA."
Friday night the much render€d a uc.l much more praised " Martha" was given in the T€mple before the Soulheast€rn Teachers' Association. Tlw first cast, with the exc€ption of the substitution of Knapp for Ludi as the sheriff, produc ed the opera.
Those who saw t h€ first performanc€ need no assurance of the quality of the performance. The r€ndition was better than ever. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Miller, under whose direction the opera was produced. Not only is h€ re spons ible for the music, but for the acting as well. L H. S has· just cause to f ee l proud of the principal acto r s, chorus, and ?.Ir. MiHer.
FIRST STATE LEAGUE DEBATE
Lincoln High unanimou sly def ea t€d Nebraska iViilitary Aca demy, taking th€ affirmative side of the qu es tion: "R€soived, That the policy of regulating the trusts is preferable to dissolving them." The debat e was he ld in th€ High School audi:torium and a fair-sized crowd was in atendance. The Lincoln team was: Aaron Speier, Ozro ·woods and Earl Jeffrey.
THE " LOYAL " BAND.
The Lin co ln High •School band is one of which the school can b e ju stly proud. During the March Festival they appeared at nearly every performan ce. Th€ ability of this group of boys and their abl€ l€ader has been much commented u pon by people, both from the school and by those outside the schoo l.
The boys have been faithful at all practices and hav e sacrificed t heir own pleasure for the g l ory of Lincoln High. It has b ee n s aic.l that the Liucoln High School band is on e of the b es t of its kind in the West This is a statement with which all Lincoln High st ud ents agree.
VIe mu st not close without saying a word of praise for th€ leader of this group, Mr. Greenslit , whose abilit y is to b e greatly commended .
Latin Department.
The La t in playlet, " :\I edicus," stag€d under t!Je direction of Miss Olivia Pound, head of the Latin department, was a fare€ that was in danger of interruption from on several occasions. Titus , a schoo l boy , was a.fraid of a thr€shing, so the story goes. His twin brothers persuad·e d him to play sic k a nd thus be permit ted to stay home from school. He rolled in agony until his unsuspicious parents summoned old Doc Medicus. Titus was th€ recipient of the bitterest drugs in th€ medic's category ,

SENIOR CLASS.
after a week of g l orious vacation, during which you have made up all your lessons , which alas, were sadly neglected during the Spring Festival, you are ready to go back to work. As everyone knows. it is sometimes necessary to remind Seniors to come to class m eetings, not because they do not enjoy them or are not loyal to their class. but simply because they are so absorbed in their studies that they can scarce l y be enticed away. Therefore a ll Seniors are urged to come out to the next class meeting and he l p a glorious cause . 'What is the cause? It is to set the Juniors an exce llent examp l e arid 'to help make Lincoln High famous!
The try-outs hav e been held and preparations for the p l ay, the best, without exception that has ever been, or ever will be given in Lincoln High , are being rapidly carried out Come out and find out what we are doing. Room 21 , Friday. seventh period RUTH SINCLAIR Editor.

THE ADVOCATE
VOLUME XI X
GREAT TRAC K BUNCH
A bunch of life fellows whom Coach ''M ully " will guarantee to hnve real red blood and lots of pep met in room 33 Tuesday evening.
A number of them signed up for the meets and the events in which the y desire to try out.
Guy Re e d , the peppery little coach from N. U., gave the fellows a talk on track training, the like of which, it is quite likely, no other Lincoln team has ever had the advantage. The only thing to regret is that the fellows who most needed such a talk were conspicuous by their absence.
Coach Mulligan is very fortunate in having so evenly a matched crowd. Every fellow is out to learn, and then to put all he has into his work
But few of last year's men are out for training, and while this is to be regretted, the school should congratulate itself on the kind of men now working. There are no s l uffers, steal· ing the time of real workers Some men of known worth are not turning out, either because they are not being coaxed, or that they fear they will lose their laurels on a Lincoln track.
Even though we have no all around stars, the old e r members of the team are jubilant over tbe outlook. At pre sent it looks like we shall have t wo or three firsts in the M. V ., and everybody is pulling for the new timber to "show up " strong. Our goal in the State Meet is a championship, and with the wonderful coaching machine we expect to make 'em all go.
Speaking of the coaches, we might lay claim to the best set of high school coaches in the entire country, a nd make the claim stick. We h ave both "M ully" and Guy Reed to pump the science and form into us, as well as the help of Reed ' s U N. squad of m en, who are princes on the aid stunt.
Remember when thinking of track as being a snap, that no spor-t in the world requires such careful training. Remember that it is the only game which has been universally adopted, and for which eve r y country in the world of any size or importance is proud to strive once in four years for international suprema cy.
GEORGE BUSHNELL.
The president of the sophomores greets you. The president has p laced the class of 1916 on a firm basis. The p l ay rendered in chapel before the school is a partial criterion of what Bushnell is doing
Outside of class club he has been a very aot i ve Ciceronian, being editor twice and sergeant·at-arms now. He ha s been editor of the freshman and sophomor·e classes. Everybody has a high regard for George, and here is to the class of one nine one s i x.

THE LINCOLN " L."
'Perhaps the greatest honor that can come to a L. H. S. student is the ability to wear an " L " and wear it w e ll. Each " L " granted by the athletic board has its own significance. An " L" within a circle signifies that the wearer has been upon the basketball team Such a n " L" has been g r anted Bas il McC l oy, Harold Hager, Thurston Morr i s, Fred Metheney, Stewart L eese, Edward Albrecht, Herman Schroeder and Howard Vandivere. As a special award the board granted each one of the squad a s wea ter , the quality of which is the same as that of the football sweaters.
The football " L " is a b l ock "L" six inches in height. The baseball "L" is the same s hape, but only three-fourths as large
It is an honor to wear the "L" of one's alma m a ter, whatever may be its shape or size, but one may rest assured that no wo r thier team ever wore the "L" than the present champion team of Nebraska.

Last Friday night came one of the biggest meetings we have had. A big buch of members were there, and what with the jokes and l oving remarks pas se d a r ound it was something worth being in.
Claris Morey gave a ta l k on "The Ultra-V i olet Ray " We found out the marvelou s information that the human eye could see light waves at only thirty-seven-trillionths of a second (or something like that).
Next in order came the sub j ect of a clance, and-well, never mind You'll find out later One of our alumni. D a ve Stonecypher or cypherstone, it doe s n ' t make any sense either way, came out to the meeting. Then, while we were ca l mly taking in huge slices of juicy pie we decided on the stunt we are going to give After giving thr e e ch eers for Miss Lockwood and our new sponsor, Mr. N i chols , and letting off a little surp l us steam, we scattered , going to our downy beds (?) to dream of our great meeting.

One day in a fit of abstraction the juvenile George cut down his father's favorite cherry tree with a hatchet. His purpose was to cut and run
But the old gentleman came sailing around the corner of the barn just as the future father of his co u ntry had started on the ret.reat
"Look here ·sonny," thundered the stern ol d Virginian, "who cut that tree down?"
George reflected a moment. There wasn't anothe-r boy or another hatchet within fifteen miles Besides it occm,red to him that to be virtuo u s is to be happy.

Monday Prin. Mays called the school together to boost for the plays to be given by the commercial club in celebration of the birth of Shakespeare The proceeds are to go to purchase a tablet to be erected in the city library to the world ' s greatest playwrig-ht.
Snpt. Hunter spoke upon the advisability of Lincoln High boosting. "Whate ver L i nco l n High gets back of it does and does it well. "
Mr. Prince then for some time told ol' the pl a y ::; and urged all the school lo c ome out to s ee the play. Speaking of the members of the cast taken from the L. H. S., he said : "\N·e took the bes t , but not all bile bes t. Nowhere , in no high school i s there manifested ::; u c h talen t as in your high school."
Mr. Bushn e ll, illustrious father of an illu::;trionH son, told us " why" we s hould boost and attend the play. l<' rom s tart to finish Mr. Bushnell held the attention of the school and made us r e aliz e the advantages that could b e gained from seing the pla y Mr. Bushnell c e rtainly has a comprehens iv e knowledg-e of the works of the world ' s master mind

At th e same time a majorit y of students begin to feel the effects of spring fev e r , but nevertheless the aspirants to the track team have donned their brief -costum e s and sharpened up the spikes on their running shoe s and have sta rted the hardening cours e of tJ pring training.
Every indication points to a succ e ssful season in track ath let.ics. The loyal fe ll ows of L. H.

THURSDA Y A GR E AT DAY
Upward of two thousands of people thronged our class rooms last Thursday night to view the exhibits prepared by the teachers. All o u r work from maps to math. papers, from English I to Latin VIII, were shown It gave the parents a spl€ndid opportunity to see our daily work, and th e large number who attended showed their interest by visiting until nin ethirty, when all assembl€d in the auditor i um to h€ar tl1e program.
The band, the best in the state, p l ayed several selections: · Billboard March Carousal.
War Songs of the Boys in Blue. Mr. Thomas Cat.
The music was e xcellent and th e band is very much appreciate d. Too much cannot be s aid for the band It is a " lulu" alright.
G E NE V I EVE RO SE.
The Kilkennys, who had charge of chapel not long ago, and who presented representations of wor l d ' s masterpiec€s last nig-ht, have selected Miss Rose for their president.
Miss Rose has had great success with the society. Bes i des being a talented musician and authoress , having written the short story "On the Other Side of the Hill ," whi c h appear e d in the Christmas number of the Advocate, S'ile has th e happ y facility of winning friends. It is due to this t hat s he secured her position as pr€sident by a unanimous vote.
track work, and although it is too early to know just " who ' s who ," there is indication that several 'have the qualifying speed for the sprints As for the dist-anc€ men, we have no fear in that direction as to th e ir ability, although their condition will not permit them to take the full grind.
With the help of Guy E. Reed and the c oaching of " l\1ully," there is no reason why Lincoln -cannot carry off the track honors of the M. V. To do this ev€r y body should get behind t he track team from the fir s t crack of the pisto l to the finish.
As to the men who contemplat e g e tting out for the team , don't be backward; the more the merrier Even if you don ' t cinch a place, it will do you good and not co s t you anything either.
The curtain ro s e di·scl osing a scene of great dignity Assembled the1·e were all the nob l e debater s, with Earl J€ffrey as chairman After tbe chairman read a letter from President 'Wilson, asking for our valuable aid , he nominated Mr. Frank Dictionary Daniel vVebster Fowler for chairman Ther-eupon Mr Williams, with grave dignity, proceeded to nominate Mr. L e onard vV. Trester. Mr. Bushnell, with a "mild and modest" speech , objected to Mr. Trester's nomination, but was overru l ed. The €lection resulted in favor of Trester, Frank D. D. IV. alone voting for himself. This mad e Mr Tr€ster's election unanimous. 1\tr Fowler then moved that tile Ciceronians stand by Mr \Vilson on the tollR rep e al question until the last. "Cutie" Upton , thinking it was his bedtime, moved to adjourn. Mr. Fanton amended it to be for one we € k. Then Mr. Johnston amended it to be that we s hould adjourn and meet immediately. After the ballot by voice, Thomas called for division, and on standing vote the amendm€nt carried The mo-tion concern i ng President Wilson was amended by Mr. Had l ey that we should stand by Mr. Wi l son until the last hour Following this much speaking (hot a i r) was indulged in by Mr. Speier , Mr. Schaberg and Mr. Fowler. Ludi , late of Martha fame, amended it to read until the twelfth hour. Mr. Schroeder objected because it was against high schoo l rules to stay after ten-thirty. As the curtain went down ' ' Da l a Bora" was given.
A play entitled "Bride Roses" was given b y the Girls Dramatic society The act was very successful, the acto r s rath e r actresses--fitting the characters:

Moral Pe rsuasion.
'Twas 1\fartimas time and all was co ld , As nup spak a young man bold: " Let's gang and get for us a drank
An ' a free lun ch past yon door ."
The thre swaggered in and linetl up close, 0 wow but tlley were tough; And called for one and many more , 'Til they got more than enough.
Then out they went and up the street., Three lo ya l fellow men, Till came they to a great copper, A husky big and strong.
One of them lan ghted, a loud Jond lau ghed he , Till the tear blinded his ee "What be ye !aching at? Surely not at me? "
"Ye 'tis thee I Jauch at , Ye are so very funny, Fain wou ld I paste ye one, But you loog too big for me "
The big man grabbed him round the middle, Then s l ammed him in the head; Now the three lo yal fe llo wmen Live on water and dry bread.
TODAY.
Oh! yesterday's pleasures are fled, And yesterday's joys all are dead, And we cannot recall One slip or one fall, Or one hasty word that was said
Tomorrow may dawn still more fair, Or it may arrive burdened with care, For we never may know
Who may come , who may go , What of good or ill it may bear.
But today for a brief time will stay, Tn which we may work or may play ; It' s the g loriou s "Now"
To whi-ch we must bow, And we must account for today. FRANCIS J GABLE. Call Dietze Orchestra for dances

WELL ROARED , LION!
Last Friday morning at 11 o 'clock the Shaltespeares held a chapel. Mr. Mays, in makhlg announcements, revealed that there was a "four hundred" in Lincoln High School. After announcements were made, h e turned the chapel over to Miss Nichols, president o.f the Shakespeares. The first number was a harp solo by Miss Shanafe lt , which was so applauded that she answered the encore by another beautiful selection. Next on the program was Miss Lu-cile Robbins, of the Univers it y School of Music, a woman of great talent and natural ability. She sang a se l ection f rom Shakes peare. She too was vigorous l y encored, and agai n s he rendered a beautiful se l ection from Shakespeare. She was accompanied by Mi ss Concello, whose light touch and easy grace was the envy of all. Next came a string quartet, who rendered the "March by Shubert, with much talent. Next came the great event of the chapel. It was the first scene of the fifth act from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." It represents a band of peasants giving a pl"ay in cou rt. The acting was fine , and when Elinore Fogg, a junior, condescended to play t h e part of the lion and crawl aro und on her hands and knees, the audience gasped, and the "freshies" looked astounded. There has been no chapel which has called forth any more app lau se and lau ghter as the Shakespeare chape l. The Shakespeares demonstrated the ir ability to "tread the boards" in this c h apel.

A thunde rbolt fell out of the c l ea r blue sky upon Miss Muir's c l ass Friuay morning! Of cou r se the whole c lass was perfectly c l a m and cool at being inform ed that all the material for the next i ssue of the Ad vocate must be ready at the close of day
Wasn't it strange that everybody had to go home immediately after sixth period and therefore co uld not accept nomination s? You would su r ely read this iss u e with a softened heart if you cou ld but see the sweating brows a nd sc ratching pens of those industrious eu itor s who vowed to put out an is s ue of the Advocate not to be a source of shame and humiliation to the c l ass. Nevertheless, " We wish to express heartfelt thanks to those who have g laddened our hearts in time of need."
The Pinn a cle
The kingdoms of the world beneath me lie:
Long ranges, valleys lyin g filled with li ght, Or swimm ing with b l ue shades, that s lip from off
The great red bastions of the mountain crags
To linger long beside the summer meads.
So far! so far! The hills Jil{e ripples seem; The mountains, rising higher toward the west, Like some great billows of enchanted sea
Whose waves lie fixed forever. Yet they live, They glow with royal red of primal rock,
With blue of far dark forests, and the rich Rare co lor of the shadows on the hills.
So far! so far! I cannot see m y home;
The river lies a ribbon at my feet, Th e azure sky above i s nea 1· to me,
0 God! I cannot breathe this purer air!
0 hide my soul from this infinity!
R e member, Father, I am mortalmade -
I m ay not look upon Thy face and li ve. - ELEANOR HINMAN.
'l'HE ADVOCATE
All in the Conductor's D ay's Work The fiv e o'clo ck whistle blew. 'l'h e p eo ple in the motor du e out of Linco ln at 5: 05 took hope The little g irl squeezed into a seat with two twohundred-pound ladi es, r esolved to liv e through it 'or die in the attempt. The men in the ais le of suitcases looked at their watc hes to see if the whistle was right , and inwardly cursed the owners of the suitcases and the builders of such a sized motor The stove , which was justified neither by the calendar nor the temperature, grew red hot, and the poor people who had once cons id ered themse lv es fortunate to get seats there wished heartily for a vacant in ch s omewher e else in which to stand.
The conductor started down the steps toward the door Then he backed in again to admit anothe r passenge r This newcomer puff e d up the steps , and setting down a large drum to which he was clinging tightly , he drew out a lar ge whi-te, blue-bordered handkerchief with which he awkward ly dabb ed at his wilted collar. He too lr off his st r aw hat and ad ju sted in the band the ticket he had bought, and then replaced his hat upon his head . He removed it again at once, however , and fanned himself with jerky little flaps while he anxious ly looked over the car for a seat. But there was nothing for him but to stand where he was , b y the stove.
"Hot, i sn ' t it?" he asked pleasantl y of everybody in general, and picked up hi s dr um
The conductor addressed him : "You can ' t take that drum ."
Th e passenger seemed to wilt. Hi s jaw dropped .and he stared at the drum, :;ts if asking it to present it s credentia ls.
" There isn't room enough ," went on the conductor, "a nd it ' s against the- " "Why, this drum isn ' t any larg e r than a suitcase," its owner ret urned in an aggrieved tone, partially recovering his composure, but eyeing the conductor beseechingly.
"You can' t take it, " and the conductor r eached for the drum.
"But it isn't any l arger t han a suitcase, and - why I've got to have it ," waving the train official off. "vVhy, i t. isn't any bigger than a suitcase."
" You can't take it on this train. You ' ll have to check it in there, " and h e pointed vaguely s k ywa rd
" But, " the passenger protested again as the cond uctor this tim e took hold of the drum and was determinedly carrying it out. "It's i s n ' t any larger than a suitcase." On the platform h e continued, "It don ' t take up hardl y a ny room. "
The c onductor g lanced at his wa tc h "A ll aboard ," he ca ll ed , and signaled to the enginee r. The motor chugged and the cond uctor swung into the car
" But it isn't any larg e r than a suitcase, " cal1ed the would-be passenger, a nd he beckoned wildly to the fast departing back of the tra in officia l. -ELIZABETH BROWN

M. V. MEET.
One of the greatest field m ee ts of Nebraska , although interstate in character, took place last Saturday. It is evident the students regard this as a matter of small importance, but in fact f r ori1 an ath l etic standpoint i t equal s the Uni. events. In seven of the contests bett er records were made in th-e M. V. than in the Ames -N ebraska meet, and th e high jump was a tie. Remember, Nebraska beat Ames, and Ames beat Missouri. So the standing of the M. V. is very high.

SENIOR PLAY.
L ike a rock et the senio r play soared fa r above all expectati ons and burst in a showe r of glory Th e junior play was excellent , and the opinion of a senio r i s biased , so no comparison can be made. Ever y actor was a star, from Carveth, who placed more time and work upon his part than any leading man has -done in the past, to the less e r cha r acte r s. The play was one the senior class may well be proud of. Th e scenes were provocative of l a ugh· ter; in fact. , there was sca rce ly a per· s on in the house who did not say i t was one of the most humorous of pla y-s Th e -cues were well taken Much c r edit is due to :'11r. Stuart a nd Miss Pillsbury, whose untiring efforts made this a success.

Other societies than the Shake· s peare soc i ety rece iv ed a jolt when they awoke to the fact that practically every one of the "leading lad ie s" of the senio r play were Shakespeare members.

The Los Angeles Tribune offered a w lid s ilver c up , fiv e feet hi gh, to the track team winning the a nnu al Southern Californ ia Interscholastic Track and I<' i e ld :Meet, which was held at Tournament park, Los Ange les, Oil Ma r ch 21. The successf ul team was t hat of the Lon g Beach polytechnic high, which I was atte nding The Monday following the meet the school ce lebrated. Th e st udents h ad planned to l eave school right after their as£emb l y and advertise t h e ir victory, llnt news of the plot reached t he ears of t he principal, who withheld the assemb ly un til after the last period in t he afternoon. 'l'he curta in went up on a darkened stage, with the Tribune cup in t h e middle in a spot li ght. The st ud e nts started cheering with • what seemed all possible s p irit , but as th e stage was g radu a ll y lighted, disclo sing th e team and their coac h , it ros e to a perfect tumult. Amid t h e a p· plause our old friend, Superintendent Stephens, ste pped to the front of t he stage, but as he began to speak the chee rin g stop p e d "St ud e nt s," he ·began, "h ad I k no w n before how great your e nthu siasm i s you sho uld h •ave had a holiday ." H e co ntinu e d with a review of the m eet, following with the introduction of each man on the team in turn for his speech. The last spe ake r was the manager, who told what a fine condition th e team was in to win t he Pacific Coast championship which was to be held at Stanford university two weeks late r , and how th i s co u l d only he possible if the st udents would s uppor t a n entertainme nt for t h e benefit of the team
"How m a n y will support them?" he c ri ed. "Stand up." Not a st udent r em a in e d seate d. And it was finally made po ss ibl e for the sc hool to send the team up to Stanford.
After t h e assembly the stude nt s formed for a parade , t:he band first, followed by a n aut omobile co ntaining the team and the ir t roph y. After them, the students, some in a utomobiles, but the la r ger number on foot, carry ing banners with the mottoes, "On to Stanford ," "B i g Benefit Admiss ion T e n Cents," and the lik e.' These lo yal st ud e nt s paraded for an hour a nd a h a lf up and down the main st r eets. It wag. a great s uc cess.

What i s a high sc hool function? P i c ture the wild, co ld wastes of a girls' gym n asium. Two arc light s cast th€ ir fli cke rin g light over the too s li ck floor.

WAKE UP.
The spirit of s upporting athletics see ms to be falling off in Lincoln High, as was pointed out by the s mall attendance at the inter-class track and field meet.
The students sho uld boost for e verything in athletics as well as in othe1· lin es The fellows on a team sometimes feel that the support of the st ud ents is not what it should be , so t\}ey wo rk all the harder to make Lincoln "s hine." If every student would work hard and boos-t for c l ean sports in the High School and get out to make the team, or boost it a lon g, Lin· <:oln High might never go to defeat
Let's all pull together , get a crowd for the state meet, and have a larger delegation of s upporters than Omaha with a host backing her.
ATHLETICS
To those who think track work is a dream :
This is all you have to do: Go to the Y. M C. A. every afternoon, don your running togs, then get out and run over to the tracks, at least two miles if y our muscles are stiff. By lhe time you get there , your wind is all gone. Ah! there is the smiling coach. He never seems to think that you have run from the "Y.," but carel ess ly says: "Be at it around the track six or seven times to get limbered up :1 little bit."
when this is done, one thinks to himself: "Maybe I will get a lit t le rest now." But no such luck. "Here you! You-and you"-inc ludin g all-"t ry a few starts."
After we have started a dozen times or two (nearer two) "Mully " says: "Come down on the hundred; I want to time you ." Then by the time we get our wind again: " \Ve will try the two twenty. Everybody!"
Now the heavy part is over, and we t.al\e it easy until time to go in-just have to run the four forty or take the hurd l es , or try the high jumping or pole vaulting. Those who have tried to shirk a little he makes car ry the s hot, hammer and discus back to Mr. Young, who breaks the r ecord every th row
Gee' we ' re a happy bunch. Yep!

GIRLS ' ATHLETICS.
The "gym" classes have been having a baseball tournament. Each c l ass is divided into two sides, which play three games for the championship The winning sides of the morning classes will then play each oth e r , as will also tho se of the afternoon divisions. In the third period class Flor· ence Hockett's team won with the sco r e of 27 to 4 rrom Elizabeth, Brown's. In the fourth period Helen Humpe ' s team defeated Nellie McKesson's, 23 to 5. Sixth period Beth in e Smith 's side bea:t Helen Gold' s 33 to 13, and in the seventh period class Lillian Story ' s team won over Flor·ence Brown ' s with the sc ore of 29 to 23 . Now for the fina l s, which will be played so on They wi ll be good barne s watch out! The girls will soon equa l the boys in baseball.
GIRLS' ATHLETICS.
l"lhen are the basketball girls going t o get the ir sweaters?
You ought to watch Lillian S. coach her team· in baseball. Some class.
W·ben asked what position she prefer!·ed to play on the gi rl s ' baseball team, Althea 'l\Iyers promptly replied , " Bat. "
Miss R. (playing tennis): "What is the score?"
Dorris N .: "I don ' t know -b ut we ' re ?. head ."
Some girls are some ball players. Yes? In a game played by sixth period class, Mary Sheppard, playing sec ond base, ran for third on h er opponent's first hit and was put out by her own side, allowing the runner to take second Federal lea g ue, please take notice.
We wonder if there will be interclass baseball this year.
The gir l s are diligently practicing for their track meet, which will be held soon.

ATHLETICS.
This isn ' t the athletic number of the Advocate, but any way this is the time for ath leti cs , so Jet ' s boost. Talk of speeders, the senior tennis team sure have the sophies going some for honors. The juniors haven't been noticed , but by diligent use of a tele· ,scope one may spot .a bit of green on the horizon. Even the girls are boosting'-they say. If a few more had been present the juniors migh t hav e come up But let's boost through and through because it will soon be football time, and we must donate our "pep" to the y oungsters

HIGH SCHOOL FUNCTIONS
Th ere h as been s ome regarding high school functions. There are so many who think anyt hin g or a social nature w ill do for a high sc hool f unction. The high schoo l holds a · in the community , and it is j l:! ged by its attit.utte on ev e r y su bj ect; hence care inu st be taken in providing for •hi g h sc hool soc i a l a ffairs
Lincoln High Schoo l h as c lo se at h a nd a di sadvantage , t he State Univ e rs ity, to whom it na turall y looks , as a n:od e l fo r every form of sc h oo l lif e.

Thi s is ·the decision t ha t Lincoln High struggles with, while other hig-h are f r ee f'rom these influ e n ces. The r e i s a c l ass of st ud ents, or rather attendants, of high schoo l who can scarce l y liv e unl ess ther e i s so m et hin ' doin'. Nothing ordina r y will s uit them.

For examp l e, the dance. Not eve ryon e dances, or can

SENIOR PICNIC
On e of the s-enior functions wh'ch has changed its name was lleld l as t Monday in the antarctic regions near Epworth Lake park It us ed to be known as "skip day " bu t s ince we have lost our terrestial aspect and become ce l estial it is known as the senior picnic Our esteemed s ponsor , Miss Pillsbury, participated in the races and tried to keep warm . Ball games were held , and those with courage ex plor-e d the pond, with one man standing in bow to keep away the icebergs. Refreshments were served to 1.,.,ost. neonle once and to several people two and three times See Dean Palmer ; he has appeared bloated ever since. Several seniors ought to amount to something in this world, as they have such ::t great capacity In fact many have the dilating powers of an anaconda. A grand time was enjoyed in spite of the weather.

AN X - RAY TRIP.
Last Thursday morning Mr. Marshall 's physics- class deserted the civic league and took a trip of their own.
First we went to the U . S. w ea th e r bureau station at the university, where we carefu ll y examined all of the weather recording instrument s and also the government code. Following our inspection Mr Loveland gave us an excellent ta lk , illustrated with slides, on the different instrument s used by the bureau
Following this we journ ey ed to the office of Doctor Buchanan (near the undertaking establishment), where we were allowed to study the X-ray machine. Mr . Lyman and Mr . Speier conse nted to take off their coats, collars and ties for a long enough time to allow the mysterious rays to pa ss thru their stomachs and hearts. The class all agreed that the gentleme n's digestive and respiratory organs wer e in fine form
Miss Sampson was also induced to permit Doctor Buch a nan to take an X-ray picture of her broken ( ?) ankle.
Altogether the trip was a great success and was profitable to all concerned. But its success was marred by two catastrophes-first, the pictures outside the Lyric, and second, Haze l Smith's sudden illness , which we all thought was going to be fatal! !
BASE B AL L EXTRA
The senior class displayed its superiority by defeating ignominiously the junior and faculty teams. The seniors were " there" and would have succeeded still better had the score keeper not been the man who he was . He felt sc> sorry for the jun i ors that he gave them a score that a non-high school student made The faculty was also left far in the background
JUNIOR -SENIOR.
At Capital Beach the class of nineteen and fifteen tennered their respects to the graduating class b y giving them one i f not the most successful junior-senior functions ever held by Lincoln High The committee under charge of Miss Green and Miss Carson made such arrangement that every on e present had something to do and a pleasant time was enjoyed by all. The lake was dotted with boat s and seven were seen in one string at a time The dances were conducted in an admirable way, with Mr. warner acting as a chaperone. The lunch was served early in the eve ning with sufficient to go around and S€veral extra repasts to eac h greedy senior present. The ' 15 class showed their respect b y se rving ice cream in the colors of the se nior class, brown and gold

JUNIOR -SENIOR.
The junior-senior picnic was he l d Friday, May 15, at Capital Beach, with ideal weather for the occas i on. The majority of the guests left Lincoln from lOth and 0 at 3: 30 They found · the beach all pre-pared, the figure eight, circle swing and frolic open, the tenn i s court ready for immediate use, and the boats a l ready being filled.
During the afternoon the seniors had the pleasure of demolishing, firs t the junior and then the faculty teams at basebal l.
About three hundred and fifty junio r s, seniors and chaperones Eat down to an extensive picnic lunch se r ved in the J apanese gardens. The senior co l ors, gold and tan, were carr i ed out in the ice cream. ·
After the supper, boating and dancing were the chief features. The dance hall was decorated in the senor colors , too.
Louis Shostack, the chairman , and t h e 1:est of the committee, as well as many others, worked hard to make this a success. Holliett Knapp gave most all of his time in tending to the boating. A l so, a very great deal of the responsibility as well as actual l abor was p l aced upon the junior spansore, Miss Green and Miss Carson, to whom m u ch c r edit is due
The upper classes appreciate the courtesy of the pharmacists, who gave up their contract at the beach in favor of us. The conflict of arrangements was through no fault of theirs , and it was very kind of them to be so generous.
Many of the faculty aided us very much, and we wish espe<:ially to thank Miss Humpe and Miss Zumwinkel, who helped us so greatly in preparing the lunch; Mr Starrett and Mr. Dona l dson for their suyervision and he l p in the boating, and Miss Jackson , who spent much of her time at the gate.
T he Y W. C. A. kindly allowed us th-e use of their build i ng for preparing for the picnic, and we thank them.
The chaperones, besides the faculty , were Mr. and Mrs. J. C. S McKesson and Dr and Mrs E. · J. Angle. M W., '15

Th e Class of 1914, since the da y of its orgnnization has br.r.n a boo ste r 's cla ss. 'vVe ha ve not ahv nys mad e th e mo st noise but we hnve done our work in a quiet w ay an d have prov ed ourse l ves capa bl e upon all occasions Although, as a cla ss, we nev er a dopt ed a motto w e ha ve by our aetions that w e stand and hav e stood for the best i.n sc holarship, athleti es and for th e promotion of a ll organi,;ations whi ch foste r and impr ove schoo l spir it
After having spe nt a "little ov er a month in b eco ming accustomed to th e halls .af Lineolu High Schoo l and th e mann ers of the upp er-c l ass:nen, we thr e w our surp lus energy in to our class m ee tings. Th e first officers of our class w er e effi ci ent in every way, more th a n fulfilling th ei r duti.cs, from th e president , Jesse Davis, to Ch ong Lee, the humbl e ser geant-at -ar m s Mu ch credit i s due to l\Iiss Pillsbury and :Miss Kingsl ey (now Mrs. Kin g ) for the car eful instru ction th ey gave us as raw r ec ruits in the art of schoo l activities Alt hough feeds >vcre l avish l y distributed throughout the history of our first y ea r, still we w ere sowing seeds f or f uture greatness. Th e Junior party, held in th e seco nd semes t er of t:he Junior year, is an ev ent to h e re memb ere d. On this night Dwight Thomas distinguish ed himself in th e playlet call ed " Th e Co -ed." Th e r emainder of the evening was g iven ove r to dan cing and refr es hments The on e disaster of the night was the burning of the cocoa, but a ne>v supply was soon made and all enjoy ed th e warm r efreshments l\Ir. l\'Iays start ed th e dancing of th e Virginia Reel and n earl y all who were present agr ee d that they pr efer red it to any other dan cing.
Our Junior play was a pronoun ce d su cce ss \'V e 'brok e away f r om th e b eat en path of light farc e and pr ese nted "S h e Stoops to Conquer. " Mary Kneeshaw, the l en ding l ady fill ed the part of a d emure maid of a ce ntury ago, with becoming mod est y. Helen :Mors e was h er ab l e assistant. Dwight Thomas, in the part of "'l'ony," was the bigges t par t of the p l ay. It has :b een said that Dwight did not act, h e was just made for that p a rt. H er m a n Yost , Gotthilf Ca st and Herald: Cordner, each a star of the first magnitude played the diffi eult men's parts All of th e ac'tors deserved great credit in th e mann er in whi ch they stood by t he play , an d th e cl ass may well be proud of its :fir st eff ort in a play of r eal lit erary worth
On June 14, 1913, th e Class of 1914 enterta in e d the Class -of ] 913 by a new and nov el Junior-S enior rec eption. It was h eld at Capital Bea ch, from nin e in the m or ning till thr ee o'clock in the aft ernoon Harold Bryant was the ch a irman of the committee which carr i ed this affai r to a su ccessfu l close. The boats were fre e, the dancin g wa s free, th e moving pictur es w ere free, many stud ents r ec eived a hb era l coat of tan at the swimming pool, but the cl im ax of the d a y was the fine dinner provid e d. Th e refreshments w ere in charg e of Stella Benway, nnd she had everyth ing :figured out, down to the sugar for th e l emonade. Ev eryon e had ju st enough a nd ther e was no waste Although it had b ee n prophesied that if such a Junior-Senio r w ere giv en, ther e wou ld be certain peopl e w ho would n ot co m e, it w a s noti ce d t hat th ese very people w ere pr esent in large numb ers.
As we ap pro ached th e Senior year our eve nts in cr eased. The :first Senior party wa s g iven on Hallow e 'en night . The Gymnasium was d eco ra;t ed very eff ectiv ely with fall flowers and foliage and di s tin ct iv el y HaUowe 'en r efreshm ents of hot pop coi n and app l es vver e se r ved. Everything had gone off ve ry ni ce ly, d espit e th e f ac t that it w a s th e night w h en wit ch es w er e abroad , when suddenly the old b ell in th e Science Hall tower p eal e d fo rth its dismal notes. F aces gr ew pale and much wi se dis cussion as to th e so ur ce of th e disturbance, took place. But Mr. Mars hall a nd l\Ir Kinn ey , l)raving a ll old wit ch es' brooms a nd bla ck eats, waited patiently at the foot of th e tow er l a dder. No on e appeared and, com p l ete l y baffled, th ey return ed to the party , just as Harold Long , who had not been ·s ee n for some tim e, put in his appearance . The n ext day Harold told how he did it with his li ttl e wire from the McKinl ey roof and Miss Pill sbury wa s heard to remark: " And I a l ways tho u ght that H aro l d was s u ch iL nice ·boy, too!" 'l'h e next event was th e annu a l Slou ch Day . Pi ct ur e th e cons t ernati on a nd am u seme nt on th e faces of th e und er -clas smen as th e dign ifi ed Seniors , wearing th e ancient r egal i a from th e atti c, fil ed a cros s th e A uditorium stage Farmers, littl e · g irls , darh:i es, even th e facu lt y w ere portl·ayed by t he co mi cal get-ups. We were no mor e than n i c ely settled, a ll ready to watch th e int eresting p lay whi ch had· b ee n prepared for the occasion. wh en th e fir e nla rm sound ed an d w e wer e for ce d to march d oubl e-qui ck .· tim e from th e huildi ng s. After onr re turn we were ent ertained by a a tak e,off on a co untr y store. Tlu on g h the l 0ng rl ay. we f urnished a mus em ent for our cl asses, and the Mas qu er ade thfl festivities. Th e l\Iasqnerade par ty was the so ur ce of mu ch go od wholesome m errim ent 1.\I any ladi es of qunlity were nrcsent. who sat d emurely in th e corner while th e rowdy clowns. g ips ies an d bellboy s r eve l ed in th e midst of the "Gym." A .so l emn Sister of M ercy was seen in ea r ne<>t conve rs ation w i th a ro lli cking clo wn girl. Much exc item ent w as cau sed 'by the appearance of a militar y man with br ass lmtton s and an eld erly gent l eman. All reverence was shown to th e fatherly man wi t h his l on g whit e h a ir and b €,a rd and his co urtly mann er. On unmask i n g m an y of n s found we had no t discovth e identity of our partners for the grand mar ch. Shirley T ex t er ' '·'a s presented with iL small woolly dog i:hat squ eaked, for being best disguised girl. " 'l'h e JJady of Mystery" ( Dixi e
Kief er) , was given a littl e tin drum for b ei ng the best disguised boy. The evening was spent in stunts, a program and dancing and at ten-thirty we dispersed, a tir ed but happy crowd.
On the Friday afternoon before Christmas vacation, we held a party in Botany L8iboratory. Floy Dunham, Thomas Morgan a nd Clarence Brown presented a play, ''Courtship Under Difficulti es," which was much appreciated by all. The boys purchased s everal balloons, which , a long with the produ c e from the grab bag , fmnished no end of fun. We enj -oyed a lib eral f ee d of peanuts with i ce cream a nd wafers, and dan ce d, to the feeble notes of the Victrola.
On Mar ch 21, another enjoya ble party was held. On this o-ccasion a very good opera, '' Loh engrin ," was presented in the Auditorium. Edith Yungblut was the prima donna and made a decided ''hit '' Ha r old Long as '' Lohengrin'' simply added another l eaf to ' his imp eris-habl e wreath of glory. Claris Morey, in a very "t ouching " scene, was killed by Loh engrin. Clarence Brown develop ed into a very dignified minister and performed the ceremony ,with rar e skill. B ecause of the frigidity of the ''Gym,'' all were co mp elled to dance to keep warm. Something novel in the way of refreshments was given on this occasion. Our class colors being brown and gold, the bri ck i ce cream was made half of brown and half of yellow and th e yellow cake with chocolate frosting carr i ed out the sa me idea.
On th e night of May 8, the Seniors again blazed forth in glory in "The Woman Hater. " Mr. Stewart, the coach, was he ard to say after the tryouts , that he had never been better satisfi e d with any cast which h e had ever s el ec ted Although they had less than five w ee ks of actual practice , the play was pr es-ented, a finish ed product. The actors represented th e very cream of scholarship of the Senior class and few amateurs ever put as much time and effort into a part as \Valt er Carveth put into the leading p :trt of the woman hater. ·
Monday, lVIay 11, the Seniors, 185 strong, m et at the Capitol grounds, ignoring school laws and well armed with lunch baskets. Although the clouds hung low and a chiUy breeze blew out of the north, a happy crowd bo-arded a State Hospital car and started for our "Senior" a lias ''Skip Day'' picnic at Epworth Parle But our joy was short -lived for soon a cold mist began to fall and w e huddled around warm fires - •In spite of the inclement weather , all declared they had the tim e of their lives. Ozro Woods had all made in such a systematic mann er that eve rything ca m e out except ionally w ell . Refreshments wer e served from the P. E . 0. booth . We n ever found out just how much ice cream Don M-orris or Art Siren consumed, but they finished up a gallon, alright. The three tennis courts were kept busy aU day and a very interestin g ball game was played. The difference in people's tastes is always brought out very strongly on an occasion of this sort. Mr. Marshall very kindly roasted the girls' weiners by a blazing fire, while Mr Mays spent all his time rowingon the lake with six or eight other girls. W e left for hom e a ·bout two-thirty in a c old drizzling rain.
On Friday, May 15, the mass of 1915 entertained the Class of 1914 by a picnic and party at Capital Beach from three-thirty to t en-thirty About three hundr-ed people were invited a nd all en joyed themselves greatly. The d'ay was perfect and th e seventy-five boats were in constant us e Th e refreshments wer e delicious and it was r emarkable how the Juniors and Seniors froli cked.
The Class of 1914 has never gained ' exce ptional prominenc e because of athletics. W e have not been narrow , but we have seldom g-ained first plac.e. Last year we took part in a fast nineinning base'ball game with the Class of 1913 but unfortunately were defeated. The boy's basketball team, while not exceptionally strong, defeated the .Juniors; but we hate to tell th e score of the Senior-Freshman game. We had some fine representatives in track athletics and won second place this year. The· girls of the Class o£1914 have always stood high in athletics. In 1913 they very nearly def eated the star Class of 1913 in basektball. This year the Senior girls literally cleaned the board. vVe defeated the Juniors and Fres hmen and were awarded "L" sweaters, whi ch is the first time in the history of the High School that girls have re ceived "L's."
The Cliass of 1914 stands for the highest scholarship. It is often difficult for a class to gain prominence in society, athletics and school spirit and yet keep the scholarship of the class up. The average of the class as a whole is far a:bove the ordinary and individually and collectively we have won prominence for ourselves in this line. The essay of Miriam Little which won th e D. A. R. prize, called forth much praise from the ladies who decided which · was the best. The chairman of this co mmitte e also made many complimentary remarks concerning the oth er essays.
'They say, history repeats its elf. We shall see. '\Ve have worked through our four years of high school with the unwritt en motto of "Let's be Different" in mind. Wheth er we have be en successful or not you, our f riends are the judges. With some reluctanc e we emerge from the halls of th e old High School yet with all prosp ects for a bright future. W e have appreciated the kindness and assistance of the members of the faculty and return our gratitude for the sam e. To those who remain in old L. H . S. we would say:
'' Qualitas non quantit-as cupita -es t.''

sunset in th e Grand Canyon. "Brick" is her city name; her nam e in the co untry is "'fad." She has had gr eat advantages in her life, being reared on the farm and educated in town. 'lhe father is not a model farmer, but the proprietor of a model farm. H e does not vvear stubby whiskers nor sit b ef ore the fire on a winter's day discussing corn crops. Rather, he plans future improvem ents for the :farm, or reads Eteratur e, from Shakesp ea re to 0. H enry or the statutes of Nebraska He was formerly a lawyer in town, but the doctor said, "Heaven or th e cou ntry ," and he answered, ''The country for mine .'' H e was twice a state senator; his picture might be in the paper with the title, "From Farm to L egislature, " or "From Plow to Senate-house," except that he had almost rea ched the l egislatur e befor e he w ent to t h e co untry.
The animals on this farm are numerous, especially the pigs. A car load! of these is sent to Omaha twice a year, where they probably meet with a sad fate. There is also a great number of white chickens. I nev er liked chickens. "Brick" stands and laughs at me while I approa ch a setting hen cautiously, stretch out a hand to grasp its tail as though it were a red-hot poker , and fling the surprised. creature, cackling, as fa r from me as possibl e. 'fhe chickens ar e k ept from entering the yard by "Cop" the fox-terrier, who barks at them •through the fence, always keeping a safe distance, for an unusually courageous one onc e pe ck ed. his nose. And. then the cats! Everyone who has visited this farm r eme m:bers those eats ancl inquires for them. Th e inquiry has become quite a Bromidiom. The cats ar e very num erous, the supply ranging from seven to twenty. I r eally think that, n ex t to two flies in a dark ened room on a hot day , ca ts can be the most numerous for their actual number of any animal I have ever seen. When we go to th e barn door with scraps of meat, and call "kitty," cats Tace in from every point of the compass. Five kittens alone can fairly swarm. Our imaginations hav e been quite taxed in thinking up nam es for these cats. We once called a family of five black kittens "Thetas" and a family of three ''Tri Delts. '' Th ere was only one survivor in eac h family, so the one nam e was sufficient. When milking -time comes and the cows are brought in, the cats gather around and make one great, dissatisfied howl, with ris[ng and falling pulsations, until their milk is poured out in the pan It always makes me sad to see the milk wasted in this manner : it calls to my mind the poor children in New York City starving for want of it. I do not know why it is that the cats do not annoy the cows, 'but so it is. Vvhen I once tried to milk one of th e creatures, she switched her tail in my face and made my eye sore for the r es t of the day. Th e three calves, Cavaleria Rustieana, Sembrich, and ilia (short for Oxide ), suck up their milk with a very impolite noise, like a country p erson drinking soup.
I must not forget the horses. There are eleven of them,- three stallions, not wholly broken to harness , and principally used as subjects of admiration for visitors, six work horses, and two Shetlands. The latt er may be counted as fuH horses in stubbornness, but are greatly d efi cient in usefulness. "Brick" and I put on some bloomers and ride them 1bar e'ba ck-our feet do not quite touch the ground. These ponies are very entertaining and amusing; that is, th ey are entertaining at any time, and "Brick" is amus ed when I fall off, and I am amused when ''Brick'' falls off.
Altogether, I have had more pleasur e on th at farm than I can tell of. Not that it has b ee n all play, for I have worked harder there than 1 ever did in town, even though I accomplish nothing by it "Brick" and I do a great deal of reading. We have found that 0. H enry's stories are th e b es t to read aloud to each other, and they aTe fin e at driving away the blues. She has a bird book, from which she has tried to give me some -of h er knowledge of birds , but l am no naturalist.
Visitors in the daytime are taken to see th e horses and pigs. The farmer once showed a group of his friends a picture of me standing at th e end of a larg e pig p en with numerous pigs in the foreground, and said: ''This is Mary and the pigs-Mary has a hat.'' When visitors come in the evening, they are taken out to see the planets, for this farmer, instead of always tramping early to bed, often stays up lat er than the rest of the family, turning his four-inch telescope toward diff erent heavenly bodies. I like to visit on this farm because it is fun. I enjoy every minute of :it. I love to work or play so hard all day that I climb into bed thoroughly tired., rbut with no worry for lessons to get in the morning. I love to lie in heel until long after sunrise, for I am lazy and enjoy the opportunity of staying there until I am actually tired of it . At this point 'l have to lean over and wake "Brick" forcibly. This task is often rather hard, 'but by the time it is accomplished, I myself am thoroughly awake. When I am welcomed: home at the end of my vacation on th e farm, my family says: " \Vhy , 11-Iary, you're getting fat! And see how brown your arms are '! " And I tell them how absurd the first statement is , and. for th e se c ond., I proudly hold my tanned, army against my sister's white ones. How I look forward to my next summ er on th e farm ! Being nearly a y ea r older and wiser, I will have to b e much more dignified. in town, but I will be correspondingly less so on th e farm. I will work hard er, I will read more, I will look oftener through the telescope. Best of all, I will get more- 0, a great deal more - tan on my arms
"UNTO CAESAR WHAT IS CAESAR 'S"
Life hath it s glories. 'Ihe teacher's life may seem to the uninitiated one endless s er ies of efforts to overcome timid faults of thought as expressed through written and oral speech and gene ral deportment. But to one who has an eye for the awe-inspiring there i s no position that can surpass th e teachers for inspiration and real d elight
Four years ago th ere entered the l1in coln high school a group of young animals, number.ing approximately 300,-some with bodi es and minds very alert, others just beginning to awaken, -a ll quite immature Like the action of a dissolving view machine, the four years pass in a moment and reveal th ese animals changed to a group of somewhat smaller size but now composed of young m en of fin e, manly p ro portions , an d young women of beautiful features,-both with brows o 'ercast with the halo of victory gained through inteUectual, moral and physi cal conquest, and with ev ident determination to mak e good in th e struggles yet before them.
To you 'l appeal with certainty of desired re spo nse , that as you take our farewell you go not as those vvho h ave inh er it e d by right all that has be en yours of health, of ta l ent and of favored opportunity in the home, in t he school and in thfl ci ty ge n era lly , but as those who ar e aware of t h e obligation to parents, to teachers, to the taxpayers and all who have co ntributed so ge n erously to your welfare.
That obligation can be discharged and your right to th e aid given you established only by your striving always to improv e yourselves and the community in which you liv e.
1'eachers, parents and friends look to you without fear of disappointment to take into the l a rg er world one hundr ed and eig hty-two dynamic units for the world's social and intellectual b ett erm ent.
Yours is the largest class that has r ece ived the diploma of the Lincoln High School. May it be second to none in its chara cter and influ enc e for good !
May I speak for the entire faculty and r emaining student body ? Th en we bid you God speed.
To th e student body-th e largest yet housed by our 'buildings,-! desire to express my appreciation of their exce llent spirit, and earnest en d eav ors for your own improvement and that of the school. I do not expect ever to have the privileg e of working with 1,200 better boys and girls.
1'o the teachers who have labored so faithfully to h elp you to attain high rank and n ece ssary progress, and who have worked together so harmoniously for that purpose , we should all be grateful.
To our estimable and efficient superintend ent, Mr. Hunt er , whose enthusiasm has aided us to accomplish many difficult tasks; to the Board of Edu cat ion, who have given fre ely their time and serious thought to providing for our ne eds; to patrons who hav e co-operated so fully, we exten d our sincere thanks.
For the unequaHed success of the Advocat e, thanks are due to the student body who have furnished the larg es t list of subscribers the paper has ever had, and es p ec ially to Messrs. Harold Long '14, Earl Jeffrey '14, who have edited it in turn this year, to Messrs.

EDITORIAL
Th e drama entitled "High School Life of the Glass of Ninet ee n Fourteen" is now nearing t he time of the final drop of the curtain. Th e scene throughout the play is the good old High School building, sheltering the greater part of ·our joys and wo es. W e entered as fearsome Fr eshmen, and w e l eave as fearless Seniors. All through our first three years we lo oked forward with longing to our Senior year; it has quite equaled our expectations We look b ack eontent, upon our energetic toil of our systematic sluffing (as the case may 'be). We l ea ve the school f{)ur years wiser, we hop e, than we were when w e enter ed, and our la'bors are not vain, for we leave it four years old,er than it was wh en we came, which w e hope is duly appreciated. We do not 'begrudge the lmv er classes the wonder and awe they will show in wandering through th e lofty corrid,ors of the new Hi g h School. It would but be a s eco ndwe might say-Freshiehood, which it were beneath our dignity to display Amid its humbl e surroundings the C'lass of Nineteen Fourteen scintillates like a rare jewel in an antique setting. We will feel that its absence in future years will be a noticeable draw'back to the advaneement of the school Yet, lower classmen, we hope that the class ha s l eft upon you a lasting impression 'by its good works Follow with your less firm footsteps the nohle path it has l eft, and you will win, as it has done, everlasting glory Page twenty-s even
Above are the pictures of two successful aspirants to class office-C able Jackson, pr es ident during th e first semester. 'VV alter Schroed-er with Theodore Lyman, vi ce president; Georgian Adams, secretary, and Caro lin e Reed, tr eas urer, has proved an efficient h ea d of an exce ll ent administrative force. 'Ih ey have carried the cl ass through the busy second s emester with special credit.
Th e third y ear in high school brings two large social events. The first of these is the Junior party. No party was ever more carefully plann ed for high school students than was the one held lVIay the se c ond in the Gymnasium. The d ecoratnig committee did excell ent work; the refreshments -vver e delicious, and those in charge of the program put forth endl ess effor t in arrangi ng entertainment for those not wishing to dance N ever th el ess, the attendance was small , but thos e pre se nt expressed their enjoyment and appreciated what those in charge accomp lish ed.
'l'he Junior-Senior reception is perhaps the most comprehensive social "stunt" undertaken by the school class organizations. The success of the Junior Play made possible a more extensive expenditu re of funds than has been made for several years. 'Th e result was an afternoon and even ing party at Capital Bea ch. Though many besides the three hundred who w ere there know about it, l et us set down in this memorable book the l eading facts for post erity. A slight afternoon br eeze m ade boating int er es ting. The shallowness of the lake caused swimming to be impossible, wading was undesira'ble, yet the honoralble upper-class pr es idents b el i eve that amateur rowing made su-bmersion unnecessary for damp clothing. It is fitting that the class express appr ec iation of the pleasant attitude of those not eligible to participation in the festivities. Th e work of the committee with Louis Shosta:k as chairman, d ese rves very great praise. A picnic lunch was served in the Japan ese Garden, lights b ega n to illumine the dark ening park, the whir of the rollercoast er rose and fell, and dancing began in the pavilion. Thus passed the remainder of th e eve ning.
Our class is at pr ese nt the smallest in the schoo l. 'Ihat the Juniors should number only a hundr ed and thirty with the Seniors fifty ahead is unusual. Yet, the passag e of Juniors to S eniors by the recovering of a credit may enlarge our class n ext year as it has the Class of ]914 this year. It is vvorth while to be a S enior a full year. Be sure to have twenty-four cre dits n ex t fal l.
'In every und ertak ing of the class there are two who are pe-rsonally an d unselfi shly int ereste d in the welfare -of the cl ass . Th ey are our sponsors, Miss Carson and Miss Green, who will never be forgotte n by those who have assumed r es ponsibility who, as mem"bers of the faculty, hav e made our aims worthy a nd the achievement of our aims possible.
The third volume· -of our high school record is about to be taken from memory's pr ess Another y ear remains. A year h ence our estimate of this year's achievements will diff er wid ely from today's appraisal, but let us remember th e position we hold and what w e have done; let us rejoice over the many triumphs, carry home to considerat i on the many mistakes, and prepare for another greater, and last, year. Long l ive the Class of 1915!
On September 1, 1912, th ere was a gr een hu e about L. H . S . This was so promin ent t ha t Mr Mays censured Bob Kinn ey for not mowing the lawn. But it did not s eem to b e grass. It was "Freshies." Thus b e gins th e history of an unusu a lly wide -awake cl ass.
The shock ·cam e when the class of 1916 b e gan to exhitbit its gr eat political a bility. Aft er a stirring campaign the class el ec ted H erm a n Shroed er as gub ern a tor for th e first sem est er . Mr. Shro eder imm ediately b e gan to l a y th e firm foundation for th e cl a ss.

Th e programs w er e simply grea t, and , to expr ess the matt er v ery mod estly, Orpheus, the gr eat dramati c god , fairly gasped to se e his works so surpass ed. Whil e th e oth er class es wer e soundly sle epin g in the thought that th e Freshmen w ere th e same as ordinary "gr eeni es , " th ey w ere rud ely a waken ed by th e chapel. A bevy of beautiful maidens attired in mod est and b ec oming g owns, wav ed cornstalks aloft and w ent through many diffi cult motions.
Then came the intercla ss tr ac k me et. The Fr eshi es , with athlet es who had n ever comp ete d in high s chool athletics 'befor e, won by a larg e ni a jority. Th e Freshies had gain ed 'both n ame and fame, and on th e siLv er cup was placed this inscription : "\¥on in 191 3 by Cl a ss 1916. " In this year cam e the Freshman picnic. The se cond sm est er ca mpaign result ed in the el ection of th e non-partisan candidate , Charl es L. Hartman.

FOOTBALL
The Football Squad .
First row. left to right: Mr. Marshall (Mgr.), Mr. Mulligan (Coac h ). .
Second row: McCloy, M cMahon, Chapin, B oe hme-r, M cLachlin , Young, Colton
From a non-pa rtisan standpoint the football season was not as great a success as it has be en in times previous . Even the school itself was n>ot well pleased, yet the men who 'battled for Linc-oln need n o littl e praise Vve lost fighting and by a hair 's breadth. _ V\Te played games and any defeat was a defea t by superiority from our opponents and not through our infer ior playing .
'fhe season opened at Aurora, and Lincoln Hi gh suffered her first defeat by the score of seven to nothing. Th e game was well played and extreme ly interesting and clos e. Th e second game •of the y ea r was to have been with South Omaha, but they broke faith, being unwilling to go down to certain defeat, so the game was g iven to Lincoln as a forfeit.
Lincoln scored her first victOTy from York at York on the twenty-fourth of October, defeating them to th e tun e of nine to seven. Beatri ce, t h e following Friday, sent L. H S. down to def eat by three points-s·co re nineteen to sixteen. Ida Grove crossed the state line with colors flying, but went home with h er pennants drooping, having been defeated to the tune of thirty -on e t o a goose egg.
Another Iowa team evened the score at the next trial, Sioux City defeating us by twentynine po in ts. Top eka finished! the season (and us ) be defeating the home team seven to nine.
P ersonally too much cannot be said about the fellows who kicked the pigskin around Of th ese, three hold the honor of 'being seniors, McCloy, Colit on and Wilmeth. All worked hard and with Roy True as captain the next year's team is assured success. Mr. Mulligan's first year as coach has convinced all who come in contact with him that he is the man needed and will h elp make a winning football team next year.
Support the team as has been done in times past and we will be ab l e to d efea t Omaha with ease. year we lo st only in the l ast quarter and t h en by a n unexplainable streak of lu ck

BasketbaH is our hobby this year We dun 't like to talk about the first of the season, but when we ha ve a chance to speak of the team which defeated the winners in the largest basketball tournament in the world we have a right to boast . In the meet Lincoln first d efeated Papillion by eight points , score nineteen to el eve n. Th e second round Holdrege felt the sting of defeat, Lincoln H igh winning 'by a score of seve nteen to five. David City, in the fourth round, was defeated by the Scarlet and Black, score sixt een to four. L. H. S. defeated Sidney in the fourth round with ease, sending them home beaten 'by five points, Lincoln fourteen, Sidney nine In the semi-finals Crete showed their inferior playing, being defeated by the capital city five by the score of twenty-two to seven.
l]n the finals we nearly met our equals, but Omaha · was defeated by the clos e score of twenty-one to eighte en Omaha had said we would meet our Waterloo at this point and we did, 'but we were Wellingtons and they Napoleons. 'This is by far the greatest basketlball meet in the world and we are proud of the team.

The happy faces whi ch appear in the picture above are those of th e Senior girl's basket. ball team which won the championship in the interclass tournament this year. Four of these g irls, Grace Ni chols, Beulah Wagner, Nellie McKesson and Ruth Shively, were on th e t eam which gave the girls of the Class of 1913 one of the hardest battles which had eve r b ee n seen on the Gym. floor, last year. 'This season the team was filled out by the addition of B ethin e Smith and Mildred· Holts, two invin cible guards. Grace Nichols made mor e scores than any other individuel player in 1both the Junior -Senior and Freshman-S enior games. This is the first girl's team to be awarded "L" sweaters for athleti cs. The awarding of "L 's" to the athletic girls is just on e addition to the many customs whi ch distinguish L. H. S. among schools. All hopes that this custom may b e perpetuat ed.

The Kilkenny Klub has ror its aim t h e impro veme nt of soc i a l and lit era ry g1·aces, a nd t h eir success 1s already cl ea r when one looks at t h e pres ent memlb er ship and their illus tr iou s alumna e
To begin th e proof they were among the very first to offer to take part in the program on Patron's N i ght, a nd t h eir produ ction then is st ill rememb ered a nd often spoken ·of. It was agreed t h at up on that occasio n the Kilk enni es far surpassed all others, in the easy, graceful fl uency of speech shown in the masterful delive r y of their line s. No one, however, lik ed the Kilkenny chapel very we ll b ecaus e it was one o.f that kind that makes yo u so sor ry to hav e to leave an d go to work .

The Shakespeare Society of 1914 will l ong be remembered for three reasons: Literary work, dramatic ability, and for the 'boosting of schoo l spirit . The lit erary work was shown on stunt night when the society presetned before the patrons a dever stunt written by the members Again the literary genius of the society was proved when another one of the members won the D . A. R. gold meda l this spring, for the best essay on "How N ebraska Became a Stat e."
The society, at the second semester of each y ear, numbers eighteen girls. The object is the mor e diligent study of Shakespeare's plays and a more int ellig ent und erstanding of his works.
Proof of our dramatic ab ilit y is not wanting, for three of the leading l adies of th e Senior Play were Shakespeare girls
We might speak of the social life of our club. Guests of our danc es, picni cs , and feeds say there are ''none such'' for a joll.y good time.
Our Shakespeare Society now includes:

This society aims to take up in its study the relation of the school to the child. During the past semester the work has been an intensi ve study of busy work, dramati zat ion, playground work, etc Th e r esp onsive attitude of each mem 'b er has done much to further the su cce ssful accomplishments of th e vvork und ertak en.

ORCHESTRA
For the first time m the history of the Lin co ln High School, a real orchestra und er the direction of ·Mr. Greenslit, was organiz ed. Aft er the tryout and the selection of players, everybody settled down t<a work, and for a month of ceaseless grinding, nothing was h ea rd fro m this bunch of busy workers.
But on a bright and cr isp Nov emb er morning , just after the football season was ov er and when every'ho dy was downhearted ov er the sho·wing of the gridiron, th e newly mad e orchestra was call ed upon to d eliv er t he solemnities at the sea son's foot1Htll chapel. Th e program vvas well re nd er ed , it was well r ece iv ed and the or ch est r a est ablish ed its first su ccess.
From this on successes follow e d eac h oth er in rapid succession. Encourag e d over t heir tir8t en d eavor, they d ete rmined to make th e next eve n b ette r. How well th ey succeeded all know f rom their n eve r to b e forgotten Junior Play appearance.
'l'he difficult part taken by the or ch est r a in the opera :Martha was aga in well r end ere d, notwithstanding the fact that this production was without a doubt as difficult a piece as any high sc hool orchestra has ever attempted · Th eir greatest event came at the sc hool festival where, alter mu ch hard work, th e celebrated "Hungarian Dance" was very well rendered.
For this series of successes too mu ch credit cannot be given to our director, 1\Ir . Greenslit, who, by his patience and willingness, mad e them possible. L et us as m e mb ers of the first and only high schoo1 orchestra extend him a vote of thanks.
''MARTHA.''
"lHartha," Fl otow 's weU known op era, has again stirred the musica l world of the United States On :March 6, 1914, a cast composed entir ely of Lincoln High students presented the opera ''Martha. '' This was the first time this grand opera has ever 'been given , with chor us and enti re cast of high school students, west of the Allegheny mountains. Patrons of this first appearance were so delighted that the publi c demand ed a second production which was given at the Auditorium before an ent husi astic audience of three thousand. Again the successful opera was pr esented before the Southeastern Association of 'l'eachers. The unusu a l talent display ed by the case caused much favorable comment since.
Th e first and third productions were given by the fo llowing cast:

Tom Ripley, Bundy 's troul)lesome nephew, marries Alice Lane, the sweet you ng daughter of Dr . Lan e. vVe think that those who questioned ·will agree that Clark's acting eompared favora'bly with that of his broth er in the Junior ··Play.
Th e last act surpassed the thr ee preceding. Th e scene was laid in the cons u ltation room of Dr Lane's private lunati c asylum in New York. Through a series of mistakes, the l ead ing rharad rs are brought there, with the result that eac h thinks the oth er is insane-quit e a comof erro rs. Just before the curtain drops for the last time on this thr illing drama , Bundy an nounc es to the other characters. and the world in general: "Let me tell you something aho ut woman hat ers-t her e are non e.''

"HIS FATHER'S SON."
" His Fath er ' s Son" w a s giv en by t he Juniors so well as to be a lasting credit to th e sc hool. The ·play was English, with th e last scen e in India. When th e curtain rises, Ted Ly man , as Christoph er J edbury, is busily engag ed in {; arrying books and v arious cooking utfmsils into a rath er shabby little atti c room. No, he is not an humbl e and pov e rty-stricken artist. All this is just a graft to ex cite th e sympathy of his parents when t hey return and wonder how h e has squand ered his aUowan ce. His c onsci en c e must hurt him som ewhat how ever, when his d ear littl e sister Nelly ( Mary Hel en All ensworth ) we eps at finding him in such circumstanc es. Th e following is th e noted cast :

Wh en Sir Christopher J edbury ( L eon Williams ) , and his wi fe ( Georgian Adams ) , r eturn , th e plot becom es quit e complicated . Young Christoph er had once b een' maq·ied to a girl whom he had n ever s ee n , and his father , h earing only half of th e story , tells Christopher that his nam e is a bl a nk until he sh a ll m a k e· himself worthy of his f a ther ' s nam e. Thu s it is v ery sad wh en h e must leav e Dora R edway, a charm ing young lady , with whom h e has fall en in lov e, and who a fterwards turns out to 'b e th e girl to who-m h e was marri ed . 'Ihe aff ec tion , by th e way, is mutual. Christoph er informs ·D o ra th at his name is A. Blank, and t ells her " Call m e Ahthuh. " Cabl e Ja ckson, as Tom Bellaby, is in lov e with Ne.lly Jedbury. E:v er ett Angl e, as JVIr Simpson , in th e empl -oy of Sir Christoph er, is a v ery naughty man , and almost spoils young Chtistopher ' s good r eputation Mrs. Glibb and h er husband, Mr Glibb , ar e a wond el'ful pair , Mrs. Glibb doing th e talking for both. This was very cl ev er , a g r e at suc cess , and an honor to th e class.
SOPHOIVIORE PLAY
" SHAKESP E ARE UP TO DATE "
'fhis play is a wonderful mix ture of Shakesp eare and present day life. As the curtain ris es, Elizabeth Brown, as Juliet, is sadly contemplating h er hard lot. Shakespeare has in this cas e be en imp l'ov ed upon. Instead of th e sad death of the ]lov ers in th e tonrb, all has turned out happily, and Rom eo and Juliet are married . Marriage, how ev er, according to the pr esent -day v i ew, is the end of happiness. So now , as Juli et dramatically pro claims in te lling of h er sad life, Rom eo, instead of burning midnight oil to m emori ze tou ching Love phrases and r ec iting them to her as she l eans from her bal cony , stalks in and d emands his m eal•s in st entorian ton es , throws hims elf into a chair and asks her to remov e his ·bo ot s. ( Juli et tearfully illustrat es this by si tti ng and ext ending a small white pump . )
Juli et is soon visit e d hy her friends, Oph elia, Porti a, and Lady :Ma cb eth, r epr es ent ed r esp ec tiv ely hy Ruth Mason, True Jack, and Ruth l<' arnam Ophelia sings a touching ballad concerning h er lif e with h er b eLoved Haml et. She ev id:ently has a v ery hi g h opinion ·of h er husband as s·h e on th e sligh est provocation tells som ething that Ha-a-am says. Tru e Jack, (the s ta tely Portia ) in h er judicial cap and gown, is almo s t s orry th a t sh e sav ed Antonio · from his sad fat e, and also sighs for th e riches of h er form er suitor, th e Duk e <Of Mor occ o Ruth Farnam delighted and thrill ed the audienc e hy her recital of Lady Ma c beth ' s famous sle eping walk sc 'ln e , and still more h y th e dramatic mann er in whi ch sh e rais ed h er l<eft hand and kno ck ed a cloud of powder from her hair.
We will expe ct a wond erful Junior play from th e class of 1916 if th e boys hav e as much tal ent as the girls.
FRESHMAN PLAY
" CHRISTMAS BOXES "
Th e Freshman class pres ented in chap el the week b efor e Christmas a little comedy entitled, " Christmas Boxes . " T he s ce n e was th e room of two girls, Kitty a nd Laura , who w er e pr eparin g , against the rul es of th eir guardian, for a visit from two 'boys, Laura's brother Paul and Kitty's cousin Jimmy. The unlu cky on es who sat in S ection E did not se e th e b eauti f ully de corat ed evergr ee n on th e right of the stage.

The guardian dis c ove rs th e plan, and th e girl s hurry th e boys away. How ev er, the girls little kn ew th e soft heart under the guardian's s ev er e mien. Sh e r ec alls h er own sw eet youth and th e lover who died , and sends a polit e invitation to th e boys to com e ba ck. They gl•adly a cc ept, and when they enter the room , op en th eir Christmas boxes. T h en aris es a diffi culty. Inst ead of the neckties they exp ect ed they find littl e girlish trinkets. Th ey stalk furiousl y hack and forth, thinking themselv es the victims of a practical joke. 'l'h e guardain finds in h er box a pair of larg e rubb e r hoots , and th e g irls dis cover similarly inappropriat e presents At last th e myst ery is solv ed. All this was th e fault of carel es s Nora, w'ho had put the wron g la'h els on th e box es.
This play was one of the best ever giv en by a Fr eshm a n cl a ss in Lin coln High. With su ch a good 'b eginning , what may we not expect by th e tim e th ey ar e Seniors? Th e acting was very good, praise b eing esp ecially du e to Alice Mc Ca uley, th e Irish s ervant girl. The audi en ce laughed all the time that sh e was on th e stag e and show ed their a ppre ciation hy giving a ch eer for the ''Irish maid'' aft er th e curtain had gone down.
