From our commercial department we have lost very capable men. Mr. \V. L. Greenslit, who has served our hi.gh school efficiently for the past year, has become the busine ss manager of the Nebraska School Supply House on Q street. He will be retained as director of our band. Mr. N. I. Cross, who has served us faithfully for two years, has accepted the position of head o.f the commercial department at \Vichita, Kans. Both men receive substantial increases in salary. Our be;,;t wishes go with them into their new fields of endeavor.
Mr. 0 G. Shanafelt, who has grown among us during the past four years and has steadily gained in favor of pupils and associates as his ability became known. As a teacher in the English department throughout the years, as a successful coach of our debating team for three years, and as a teacher of German during last semester, he has favorably impressed himself upon the memories of students and teacllers. ·
Miss Myrle Davis, who for many years has done most efficient work in the Latin department, became Mrs. Woods in June, soon after the close of the school year, and lives in Jeffer· son, Oregon. Miss Davis has served as sponsor of the Latin Cluli for the past year. Mrs. \Voods possesses a refined personality that most effectively influenced the students. Her presence reminded one of the Scriptural statement that power comes not in the noisy wind, but in the "still small voice." It penetrates so quietly and unobtrusively that one is influenced before he knows it and in a way that disarms all antagonism. Many happy years to Mrs. Woods!
Another one of our efficient teachers who left us to become a helpmate to a helpless man is Miss Margaret M Lockwood, who has taught in L. H. S. four years Miss Lockwood also was married in June at her home in Michigan to Mr. Dearing, and will live on a fruit farm at Frankfort, overlooking Lake Michigan. Miss Lockwood was highly esteemed by all who knew her. Her enthusiasm in elementary science and physiology was tru l y "catching,' · and her teaching most effective Miss Lockwpod has been sponsor of the Ptolemy society for the past ::hree years. All who !mew her will long remember her as one whose influence was helpful and wish her abundant happiness in her new relations and throughout life .

" ADVOCATE '' ANOT H E R Y EAR
The twentieth volume of the "Advocate" now comes off the press each week. Since its re-establishment two years ago , the school paper, we believe, has been unexcelled by any other high school publication (periodical) out. Its column s are open to the best efforts of every student in his or her line. H maintains a.s large a proportion of reading space to advertising as is advisable and efficient and its earnings are all returned the student body in publication form.
The "Ad vocate" has always held an important place in L. H. S. student life. Every week the English clll.ss that has assisted in its production hunts quickly the ,results.of its labor; the joke (note the singular) is read with eager interest and proper adverse criticism; the cartoon on the front page is studied over to discover what it may represent; the photograph within is eyed with rational skepticism, and the bulletin is perused with interest. The net result is a better idea o.f what has happened to the student during the week, and an outline of the next seven day's' program
Our Professional Esprit De Corps
The attitude of our teachers toward professional makes an institute a necessity. The teacher of today is not an ac:ademic hermit. She is a vital factor in community progress. She touches intimately almost every home in the community represented by her school unit. She knows the social, industrial and civic life of the community and at first hand studies its demands. She tries to make her school room an essential e lement in this life, and to use ' schoo l room means as a potent agent in promotion of civic growth Each subject of the curriculum and each class room process she interprets in terms of what it can contribute toward a mor e perfect citizenship She seeks to broaden her own horizon by increased training, and a continuous search for the large things in education. She does not hesitate at the responsibility of civic study through the university courses and original research.
To this modenn public servant the professional impetus of an institute is not the fu lfillment of a legal or organizational exactment-it is a professional necessity. It is here that she can touch the spirit of those whose vision of servi c e is that of her CJWlt magnified to a national or even universal dimension The craft spirit for the year's work becomes her<} a uniI'Mlity.-Superintendent Hunter.
This year an attempt is being made io look after the welfare of high school girls who are working their way through ochool. High school girlsl who would like to find places to work for their board and room may get assistance from Miss P-:)Unu, r o om 112 Parties desiring such help are asked also to l e ave their names and addresses with Pound.
The boys ' work will be under the direction of Mr. J. W. Hartzell, room 16. Word may be left at the office for either of these eases .
"The Cue" of the Albany Academy, Albam, N . Y., has the following to £ ay of the Ad vocate:
"The Advoca t e, from Lincoln High Schoo l, Lincoln, Nebr , surprised us considerably upon our hasty glancing over it. From the diminutive size we expected to find it a rather insignificant little paper, but this was not the case Although the paper is breezy and very newsy from begin· ning to end, it leaves one with a rather prejud iced opinion because the departments are so condensed However, we can truthfully say that the paper is one of the neatest that has ever come into our hands.

LOST AND FOUND ARTICLES.
All found articles of every description s hould be turned in at the office , where they will be h e ld for their owners. If a student lo ses anything he s hould inquire at the office to see if it has been found. If it is not there call again after a day or two has passed.
ON RETURN TO BUSINESS.
The blow has fallen! We are here again. To some of us. the summer's vacation 'has passed a ll too quickly; to others it h as been lingering misery before death; but the ultimate r esult ha s been the same for all. Human nature a llo ws the <:atastrophe to find different answers to the question, "Ar en't you glad?" But we a ll mean t he same t hin g, for school days are the best of all, even if they are not appreciated until years afterward.
Som e of us are not here again, or rather, some who were part o f us . Collectively, they have a ll accomplished the sa m e thiug. They have gra duat e d. It is not hard to s.et the exa mple of mere graduation. n can be done in three and a half years, but in the four years they spent in L H. S they were busy with an idea that meant their future.
Some are not here again, but are here for the first t i me. This is the one redeeming teature o.f the who l e situation . The German war brings on · all the seriou s <:onsideration o f Wor ld Peace , but by turning to view the pastoral scene, one finds a ll that inward sadness become youthful joys. In kind assistance to t he new recruits a ll the upper- c l assme n are beatifically engage d. The app r eciation i s probably as we ll distributed as is possible.
It is not hard to believe that we are beginning the last year in the old, o ld quarters. Of a ll years yet, it should be one of the best Ath letics sta nd the same fine chance with an excell ent coach and a hard-working, impartial captain. The final contest in debate for the Am h erst <:up occurs this winter, and sehou l life affords more and more attractions as we boost to make things s u ccessf ul.

A LINCOLN IDEAL
" Schools Wi t h a Perfect Score."
(Taken from the Report of the Pittsburgh Board of Education.)
" The schools of the people shoul d give to the ch il dren:
"Ample provision for exercise and joyous play.
"Bu ildings, simp l e, but state l y; thoughtfully p l anned, skilfu ll y built, gene rou s l y equipped.
"A course of study offering t r ain in g for service and appreciation; presenting in the order of their importance those things whkh contribute to a strong , healthy body, an a lert, s ur e mind, a fine, steadfast spirit
" Those things in art or craft wh i ch develop to the full the l atent abi lit y of each one to serve his fellows w ith dexterous hand, a lofty mind, and a g l ad heart, rich in r esponse to t h e beautiful and noble in life .
"Teachers who love chi ldren with a parent' s love and books with a scho l ar ' s fo undn ess; who find beauty and joy in serv ic e; a r e l arge of vision, l ea rne rs always.
"A training which l eads from l earning and doing on to wisdom, to high ideals, to service as a sac r ed trust, to worthy citizenship, to character.
" And, having given these things to the child r en , the schools of the people sho uld also give to a ll citizens a n exa lt ed, neighborly l ife more abundant, making the Big Red School House a radiatin g center for the fina l good of all Americans, and then for the world."

It is rather hard to write (the editor has to translate it rather carefully) because I am not used to it, but I will tell you some about my classes. First, I have Latin. It is quite easy for we are now learning the alphabet, which is just like ours except for the letters they leave out.

LINCOLN ' S RECORD IN INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATES.
In connection with the presentation of medals for debating it is of inte rest to r eview our record in inters·cholastic debates for the past five years.
Our coach in 1909-10 was Mr. J ames Bednar, who is now a practicing l awyer in South Omaha with a former Lincoln High School student, Mr. Dean Ringer. During the yea r 1909-10 our team was made up of John Farrell, Paul Northrup, Clark Dickinson. They won the first contest with Omaha in which the Amh e rs t Alumni Association cup was at stake This team, with Richard Stout in place of Paul Northrup, won from Beatrice at Beatrice
In the year 1910-11 the team was composed of Arthur Ackerman, Robe rt Albright and Paul Northrup. That yea r Beatrice came to Lincoln and defeated us. Our team made r eady to meet Omaha, but two days before the debate was to have been a disag r eement r egar ding the number of rebuttal speeches and the men se· lected for judges led to a canc e llation of the debate. Frederick Macdonald worked with Robert Albright a nd Arthur Acke rman in place of Paul Northrup for the Omaha de bate. The t eam was coached by Earl Cline, a recent ca ndid ate for the state superintendency Mr. Cline is superintendent of Geneva schools. For the past thr ee

LINCOLN, NEB., SEPT. 22, 1914
In the spring of 1913 there came to L. H. S. a student from Ottumwa, Ia., who , tho he is now g radu ated, we will not soon forget. With the new school year of la st fa ll he started on the accompli shment of a lon g list of highly c r editable achievements of which the number would have be e n greater could Ile have found those to aid him
In Ottumwa, J effrey acqu ir e d much training in debating, ·wj1ic)l 1\e' ll r pugh t into use in favor ol' §cv l' let itiltl the Black. He to(:)k the place of t\vo debaters in hi s Wt> rk in holding a p lace on each of t he two te a ms, on e of which was against Omaha and th e othe r our hop e in the State L e ague He now wears a silver medal not b ecause we won in either se rie;, for w e did not, but because he did hi s best , which was far from t h e thru st of common criticism.
Th e first semester of the yea r 191314 h e was c ritic of the Debating Society The secvnd semestet saw him made pre;c ident It a l so brought to him tlle editorsC.iv of t h e 1\dvocate. vVhen at last he b e , o.. me ·t s trong cand id ate for executive or t h e Senior clas s, h e was considered by the office ine ligible to the place on accoun t A the multiplie:ity of his du ties anu responsibilities.

L. H. S. STUDENT GIVEN HONOR IN WORLD ESSAY CONTEST
In last winter's World 's Contest of the American School Peace League , Jo e Thomas won first honorable me ntion after the three prize places Each year the l eague offers prizes of $75, $50, $25, for the three best essays on a topic furnished by it. Out of s ixtynine essays from America, Europe, and A u st r a li a, Joe Thomas, a wellknown student of the class of 1914, a nd member of the Cice roni ans, was mentioned first of those dese rving honor after the prize winners His essay follows:
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TWO HAGUE PEACE CONFERENCES.
Anyone attempting to expla in the significance of any great movement must have a thorough knowledge · of the e vents leading up to this movem e nt. The re ade r , in order to understand this significance, must a lso have a general underst and in g of th e se events, and in order that this conn e ction may exist betwee n the writer a nd the reader a genera l summa r y of the main events l eadi n g up to this movement will be give n.
In our ea rly history we find that it was a common and frequ e nt practice for one tribe to make war on another. Aft e r these tribes or clans beca m e bett e r educated they cease d to ex is t in the form of tribes and in their place a nation was c r ea ted, which included all the former tr ib es. Th en the nations b ega n to wage war with eac h other, and the se wars were al s o frequent an d conside r ed a very commo n oc currenc e It did not require a very ti.me. for th e nations to draw the t h at war was very ha rm f ul to th e n\ Next we find th e c r eation of conf€l' ences to settl e the different mat te rs jn reg a rd to wa rf are. The se conferen ces may b e div i d e d in to two divisions.
Th e first may be called "C onferences at th e termination of war." These conferences , however , differing i n iJr; portance and in influ ence upon future development, have these points in common : Th at they were preceded by war ; that they owed their very existence to war, and that th ey co uld not from t h e very nature of thin gs hav e met in times of peace . They Jutd power only to settle the immediat e co ntro versy subm i tted to the m
A s a r emarkab l e exampl e of the work of th is type of conferen ces we have the "tr eaty of We s tphalia" in Ge rm a ny.
\V e find we may cons id e r the second division as "conferences in t h e time of peace for the r egu lat ion of war." Differing widely in thei r origin and nature , these co nfer e nces have the se points in common , namely, that they w ere not immediate ly preceded by war, and that they were not as-

In some ways this is nec es sary in the getting of news, but beyond this, such a paper should expres s the sentiments of the entire s chool.

Mr. Ackerman was chosen as the representative of the school in the state debate. He tied for first place with two young men. Lots were drawn, and in that manner he fell to third place. The team of 1913 for the state league was composed of Harry Gayer, Hugh McVicker and Leonard Trester. They met ih trial debate and won from South Omaha.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TW O HAGUE
PEACE CONFERENCES
(Continued from page one)

A s s pl e ndid examples o f this we h ave the " Ge neva conventions" o f 186 4 and 1868, called to humanize w a rfare , a nd the " Brus se ls co nfe r en-ce" of 1874, calle d to codify international law
Now we co m e to the greatest s t e p yet ta k e n , prob a bly the ?f two previous l y mention e d diVI SIOns of co nf e r e n ces " Co_nferences in the time of p eace for th e preservation of peace." Th e " Hague conferences" ?f 1899 a nd 1907 a re exa mple s of tlus ty pe. Studying the first " Hagu e conference" w e find it was called by th e Czar of' Rus sia to discu ss the subject of d isa rm a m e n t. 'l'w e nt y-s ix of t he world's fifty -nine ' powers claiming independ e nt sovereignty in 1 899, r ep r ese nted a t this c onf e r e nc e . Bnef · Jy, the r es ul ts acco mpli s hed by this conference are as follows : (1) the subjec t of di s armament was dropp e d, owing to the inability of the nations to r each a n agreement; (2) the methods of land warfare were restricted from various inhuman p ractices; (3) th e rul es of the Red Cross-formerly covering land w a rfare only- were extended to m ar itime conflicts; (4) a m ea s ur e whi ch made provision for a co urt for the arb i tration of internation a l disputes. wa s adopted ; (5) principle of m e diation, by n e utral powers, was given recognition; (6) an in te rnation a l commission or court of inquiry wa s established to ascertain t he facts of dispute b e tween nation s Th e above, in brief, are the res ults of the "Fir st Hague Conference."
Pa ss in g now to th e s e cond confere nce, in 1907 , we find that this confe r e n ce, though suggested by the Un i ted States, w as a l so called by the Cza r of Ru ss ia. At thi s conference forty-four of the world 's fifty- s even pow e r s claiming independent sove r e i gnty in 1907 were represent e d. The p urpos e of thi s -c onfBren ce was exce ll e n t ly state d in th e op e ning addr ess of M. de N e lidow, president. H e sai d: " This t as k, gentlemen, as outlined in the program of the confe rence and accepted by all the gove rnm e nts , is composed of two parts.
On the one h a nd, we ar e to seek the means o f se ttling, in a friendly mann e r, any diffe rence which may arise among the nations and of thus preventing ruptures and armed confl icts.
On the other hand, we must endeavor, if war has broken out, t o mitigate its burdens , both f or t h e comb a tants themselves and for thos e who may be indirec tly affected ." The results of t hi s conference a re as follow s : (1) The measure passed in 1899 for t h e se t tlement of international differences by arbitration w a s en l arged i n that a second measure was ad o pte d which declare d t hat the intervention of neutrals was desriable in case of a dispute. (2) The u se of force in the colle ction of contract debts was prohibite d until a n offer of arbitration had been r e fused or ignored by t h e d e btor s t a te (3) A provi:sion was made for a court, to be established at Th e Hague , to hea r and settle a ll in-
national court of prize was esta blished (5) A provi sion was mad e that no tax should be l ev ied and n o bombardm e nt should b e made on unfortified towns . The other c onventions passed many m eas ure s d ealin g with the r e gulation of w ar on land a.nd s ea, and the rights of n e ut ra l s.

S. gymnasium After a short business session, in which offi· ce r s wei·e elected, a social even in g was enjoyed An effort will be made t hi s year to secure closer acquaintance between teachers and parents. Principal Mays r ecommends an equipment committee to devise ways and means for acquiring movin·g picture machines in which •to use films of industrial life furnished by a Philadel· phia firm in the daytime and in which in str uction and amusement could be found fo r even in gs. By such a means the High School building would become more of a social center for young people.

Edwin D.

The indirect results of these conferences are a l so important. T he nume rou s treaties s.igned after t h e c lo se of the second conference was an indirect r e sult of that conference. The r e pr ese ntativ es of the different nation s h ea rd each other 's views on s ubj ects of vast Importance to a ll , and co n se qu e ntly caused a better f e eling and und e r sta nding among the nations The very fact that measures were pas se d that prohibite d nations from certain practices , taught t h em that from then on legali ty and cooperation, mutual and differential confe rences , instead of national sel fishn ess, impulse or iso l ation , must rule the world.

DON PERRY.
by Do l e.
He to whom we give publicity this week as a deserving booster is in his own way rather a quiet person. This fact stands , in the law of contrary fates, as ,evidence that he is a " pusher" of "parts." Not choosing to cast in his lot with societies of clannish inclination he has devoted his time to three things:
First of these Is hi s work among those who sing to the direction of Mr. Miller, and who will appear in the Decemb.er 11. To solos he is not i nclined , but to boosting and k ee ping ambition alive he is et e rnally l ending forc i ble aid. Perhaps you saw him in the production of " Martha" last winter, singi ng with th e villagers More p r omin e nt is Perry ' s pr ese nce amon g the smaller crowd who compose the Glee Cl ub. Of this organization he is acting president
Secondly, note that he is a .Senior. Mere mention of the fact suffici. ently que ll s the freshmen , it takes but little to impress it on the juniors and it is of course hopel e ss to with sophomores.
Th i rd, and greatest of a ll , Perry was a very successful advertising manager last semester for the "A dvocate." B u siness Manager Marshall will te ll you that Perry's administration of the adv,ertising soJi.citing department was exce llent. To business men of Linco l n he is known as a man of responsibility and care in coiii)mercial transactions.
Best of a ll , though he prefe r s to do it in a quiet way , he is a lways boosting L H S.

One patron present gav e expression to vigorous protest against pupils' pa r king automobiles about the schoolhou se 'The protest received heart y approva l by those pres e nt. A committee was appointed to investigate and report at the next m ee ting means of prev e nting the- practic e Another protest was made against holding high schoo l danc ing parties in public halls .

Th e football boys have been hard at work during the past week. Every n ight upw ards of forty-five boys hav e e nga ged in spirited practice a nd workouts
Many old ' ' L " men a re out, which greatly helps the coach to show 'the bo ys some of the inside t ricks with a rea sonable ass uran ce that they will und e r s t a nd t h e plays, because eve r y man has played football b efore either here or e l sew h e re , so the rudiments of the game are pretty well understood to begin with.
Tlle bunch includ es many fast and h eatly players an d L. H. S. has r easo n to b e li eve t llat the Scarlet and tlle Black wi ll be represented by a better football team tllan she h as seen for several years.
Th e lin e-men will be fast and aggressiv e, the back field is full of b eef and brawn, probabl y ave ra g in g 140 pound s Following is a li st of men who seem to •b e s ho w ing especia lly promising sig n s of making the team:

Our first game i s with -David City. Thi s team has always been a hard nut to crack. Last year 'David City b eat Osceola. Osceola beat A urora and Aurora beat Linco ln. So it is easy to s ee t ha t we are up agai nst something when our boys face the battl e rs from fair ila vid City, By the way the c hoi ce of m e n to take along to David City is very difficult to make , as t h e r e has on ly b ee n a co upl e of weeks of pra.cti-ce, it is very h ard to pick out th e best fift een or six t e e n men. So if yo u are not tak e n along do no t b eco m e di sco urag ed. It

The next time you ar e down on the ocean bed. diving for sport and hu nti ng sunken treasures, pause a moment to study a specimen of the "Porifera" attached to a so l i d rock . T o yonr great surprise you will •find that you are intense l y int erested in what will some day, if the fisherman has good luck, be a perfectly good and u seful sponge, but i n the meantime it i s on l y a mass of je ll y reinforced with what resembles hemp.
Quite still and in fact moving on l y with an occasiona l invisib l e undercurrent, the anima l is entire l y free from household ca r es, finding both p l easure and p r ofit in soaking up ·an infinite l y sma ll being of -the sea, q u ite as id l e and much less useful than the sponge itself. Thus it lives, u nknown by us, but a thing of commo n know l edge to the fisherman, until death overtakes it. Perhaps it is the fisherman's fault that it c eases i ts submarine existence, but we have either a great rough sponge to scr u b Fido with. or a ve l vet i\Ied iterranean product for making the auto handsome handed over t h e drug-store conute r , and take it hom e or have it sent out according as Fido or the auto need the bath today or tomorrow.
To leave the facts about the materia l sponge, let us take up the consideration of the fiction of the figurative spong e , for it must be fiction or e l se on e or both of two friends of mine mis-states a serious {;Ontention. To b egin again. it i;; something of such a case as fo ll ows:
If ever. through the halls of L. H.

gently w i th laug h ter at an occasional joke of the teacher, and, l acking the cares of a dauby fountai n -pen, i t soaks up an infinitely small idea of equa l id l eness and value Th u s it lives; lives fo r ever, we say, for its death ha s not occurred in our li fetime, and we hop,e it may n ot, for it wo u ld be a n awfu l blow to mamma
This , you w ill say ; is enough, but it is not the l ast word. It is but the opinion of one; !fr iend. The ot h er ho l ds the P . H . S. much more desi rab l e than the VI'. P. D., which, as you already know, i s the water-proof duck. This object, my second friend asserts , e nters class-room in a b l uff and easy manner , takes a front seat, and at every opport u nity offers a q u ackling good recitation on the geenral adopt i on of · web -feet for aviati n g, wit h a thoroughness that is on l y equalled by its abil i ty to s)led the da il y drop of !mow ledge. In ·ch e mistry, an attempt was made to force upon the unwilling anima l education by condensing i t as dew on its fieecy coat It was near l y accomplished and the poo r W P. n sweating with the excess tho u ght of which foot to shake 'first, sudde nl y rem e mbered that himself was warmb l ooded, whereupon everyt hin g evaporated.
Thus. you see, my two friends await with untold anxiety, my decision in the matter. But for the h i gh character and few ex i sting specimens of the objects under cons id eration my task wo u ld be impossible. However, my most careful tho u ght brings out the facts that if the P H S were eq u ipped with a phonograph playing two or possib l y three records, and the W. P. D cou l d be induced to wear a muffler and shoes, a ll mig h t be improve d a little. IN eve r theless, s i nce the uncerta inty of t h e o u tcome of a pro j ect i s in direct ratio with its size, no guarantee can be furnished as to results. One single idea can be gleaned from the epoch-making disc u ssion , wh i ch is we ll worth. we fee l sure, •five sheets of paper and ha l f a page in the Advocate.

IT IS TOO BAD, BUT U Raphael were to hand us his famo u s Madonna drawn on the circuJar top of a barr. el we could not reproduce it in the " Advocate." Perhaps the engravers wou l d make us the cut, but we could not honestly ask the great artist to own our reproduction as true. We woul d g l ad l y hang the origina l up a l ong with the othe r unengravabJ.e masterpieces in our possession , but it wou l d not cheer our subscribers.
In the beg i nn ing, it is all right and proper to draw a p i cture of ordinary size to be reduced. In doing this. however, remember that. ordinary print , when red u c-e d to a half or a third of the original , will be unreadab l e.

teain who I'eturned late Friday night from David City were enthusiastic over th e prosp e cts of thei r team for the com ing year. Th e y said that th e game had b een a hard one, and that the home team had covered its elf with glory in winning a victory About thirty students and players went f rom Lincoln to the game. Manager Marsha ll. who r e t urn ed with the team, brought glow in g reports of the team's prowess. 'The sca rl et a nd black line s tood fast under the repeated attacks of the opposing athletes and the ball was kept in David 'City territory during the most of the play
The vrst quarter of the game started with a rush for the Lincoln team. With e nd runs and plunges th rou gh center the ball was pushed stead il y towards the David Ci ty goal only to be lost on a fumb le In th e second quarter Lincoln made twenty-five yards on a fake play, only to lo se the ball to David City on an intercepted pass The hall wa s returned to Lincoln by a fumb l e and Morris succeeded in making a ser ies of plunges for six, eight and five yards. At the end of the first half both sides had fa il ed to score
David City kicked off at the beginning of the second half Morris made a sixteen yard run and was fo llow ed soon after b y Hager with a fifteen
yard run aro und end Schmidt made twenty more and lost the ball on a fumb le . When David Ci ty attempted a punt the ball was blocked by Lincoln goal. Two DavidV rwentqsdult players , bounding back behind the goal. Two David Cit y players fell on the ball, giving Lin coln a safety and two points. The ball was agai n carried with in a foot of the David City goal and again los t on a fumble. Both teams were sc r amb lin g for the ball out of bound s when the quarter ende d
In the fourth quarter the ball was pushed back an d forth across the field until towards the close of t he game, when the Lincoln players made a se ries of line plunges, followed by a touchdown wit h Morris lu gg ing the ball. True kicked goa l , making the final s core 9 to 0.
On account of a strong side wind the fo rw a rd pass was useless and the players h ad to resort to strai g h t old fashioned footba ll. All sixteen men ta k en to David Cit y were used in the game.

U. cape fluttered in the wind, hardly protecting his thin, newly washed sailor suit, and not at all protecting his bare legs from the frosty November day He did not notice the weight of hi s knapsack filled with books, which wa s strapped to his back, nor was his mind concerned with the dread of school.

He was kicking a small baseball to a comrade Only ten minutes more and the day's kicking would be done, for when he left school it wou l d be dark. He had handed his hoop to th e maid who accompanied him becaus e he preferred his ball on this particular occasion How cramped he wa s for room! The football being tossed about by some of the others continually fell in h is way. When it was not this, be st umbled on the hoops of th e smaller boys.
But it was no use trying to play; 'he was now at the entrance of th e sc hool and the bell was about to ring He hastily gave the baseball to th e maid He sped on to his class room, scarcely glancing at the customary group of parent s .
The se partially filled the small entrance court, bidding their sons goodbye and good luck. One father bent over his boy, kissed first · one · cheek and then the other After this, placing his hands on the boy's shoulders , he said, "Remember Caesar ' s word s on entering our beautiful country! For the sake of your father and mother, and for the sake of your country , make one hundred." Releasing the boy's sholders, "Now, God ble ss you, my son! Aurevoir!"

LINCOLN VS. NORFOLK.
Early Friday morning both football teams boarded the Northwestern train on the special car. The second team stopped at Wahoo, while the first team went on to Norfolk, where they arrived at 1 : 40 p. m. It was a jolly crowd anq a trip lon g to be remembered by the Lincoln team. Manager Marshall had arranged in advance for dinners at I<'remont and they were ready to be served when the train arrived. The team was met at 'South Norfolk by autos and conducted "to the city Y. M C. A., where the boys received the best of service.
At 3:30 the whistle blew and the game was on. Norfolk won the toss, and chose to kick goa l to Lincoln. The Lincoln huskies rushed the ball back on Norfolk ' s territory, where it remained throughout the first quarter. Lincoln's only forward pass was tried at this time and was successful, bring· irig the pigskin to Norfolk's ten yard line. A series of plays advanced the ball to within one yard of the goa l , where it was lost on downs with two minutes to play. Norfolk retained the ball during this time and advanced it to the 45 yard line when time was called; score 0 to 0.
At the opening of the seco.nd quarter, Norfolk kicked to Lincoln on the ten yard line. Here a fluke on the part of Lincoln gave the ball to Norfolk two yards from the goal, and Norfolk succeeded in forcing the ball over, but forfeited the right to kick goal by failure to make a fair catch. F r app ia kicked off to the ten ya r d line , Norfolk returning 20 yards, tried a forward pass and loss the ball on downs. Here McGlasson got loose for a fifty yard run and made a touchdown on the next play. Ti·ue kicked goal; score seven to six. Lincoln kicked off and the balance of the quarte r was played on Norfo lk ' s territory. Neither side was able to score again during the game Lincoln was due for two more touchdowns except for pena lties for holding.
No rfolk tried the forward pass six times and failed in all of them, while Lincoln tried one and succeeded. The line-up was as follows:

LESLIE MANN.
To a successful ath lete we this week pay our respects. They are distant respects, to be sure, but just as earnest as though he were on our stage show i ng us how to boost.
An athlete from the word "Go!" to the Gold Medal, Mann knew no word " If. " Scholarship was not the consideration to him that it is to so many aspi rant s. Four years from his entrance from Whittie r school, in 1907, to his graduation in 1911 were marked by steady progress and brilliant athletic achievement.
The inter-c lass meets, in which men are singled out for participation in greater events, found Mann ·busy collecting medals and ribbons. He did not limit the possibilities to one or two events. A striking example is the meet in his junior year in this winning eight firsts and two seconds, taking honors not only in dashes and hurdles, but as well in vaulting, throwing the discus and putting the shot.
In 1909 be was a state basket-ball champi-on and also won fourth place in the four-forty in the United States · Athletic Meet. held in June of that year. The foliowing year he took first place for the fifty yards in the American Athletic Union, held at Omaha.
This gives but a s li ght conception of Les Mann's prowess The li st of his honors is too lon g to print in full, but you will find him now in the out'tield for the Boston Braves.
Those who knew Mann will remember a sturdy athlete , who does the right thing at the right time

ASSEMBLY.
Last Wednesday the students listened attentive ly to the appreciated discourse of James A Whitmore. He covered many questions of life today in twenty minutes, impressing especially the necessity of self-c;onfidence and readiness when opportunity comes Th e question of cigarettes took on a new aspect in his words that the habit undermines the moral courage of a man . He illustrated clearly his belief that the standard of common honesty in high schools is rising. He brought to us the real value in athletics, and his talk will rema in in our minds a long time
The first appearance of the band for this year opened assembly Wednesday. Liv e talks by Captain True and Co(lch Mulligan were fo ll owed by ye ll s and songs. Superintendent Hunter held our attention while he emphasized the necessity for the good of all that L H S be a democratic institution. He mad e plain the disadvantage of mediocrity in scholarship and the va lu e of character. Recalling to mind the giant, he advised us to keep our feet on Mother Earth , which represents the sound principles of high standards. The new songs, which we print thi-s week, were sung. The team showed extraordinary musical talent until it struck an automatic stop There seemed to be a missing link in the verse of their choice Manager Marsha ll presented the op-· portunity offered in the purchase of a season ticket Principal Mays spoke to remove the idea of many that spirit is lacking to L. H .' S.. He ca l led attention to the fact th&t a new ing school spirit, aG tuated b y- higher principles, nas gro\l;'ll in the last niJC years and is giving reai §l.lpport to athletics. Get that season ticket aiHl get together with the c rowd to root at the games!
Friday morning Miss Muir of tlle English department delivered to tba largest aggregation of High School students assembling at one (im\l in Nebraska, a speech in behalf of. equal suffrage.

A. F P.
At the regular meeting of the Alice Freeman Pa lmer society, held in room 203, the regular work of the year was begun. Each girl pledged herself to the following resolutions:
First-Regular attendance
Second-Careful and prompt preparation of her paper.
Third-Participation in and attention to the reading of the life of Alice Freeman Pal mer.
Fourth-Prompt payment of dues.
Fifth-A successful assembly program or stunt, if there be a stunt night.
During the semester the programs will consist of papers on the lives of famous women and the oral rea d ing of the biography of A li ce Freeman Palmer in the meetings At the next meeting Mary Helen A ll ensworth will give a paper on "Sappho " HELEN STORMS.
THE FORUM
The Forum met in the Auditorium last Friday evening and heard a splendid illustrated lecture by Miss Hrbek of the University on the Slavic countries. This, the first program of the society, must be pronounced a grand success.
The members then took up the business of adopting a constitution. No livelier meeting, we believe, was ever participated in by students in old Lincoln High , at least a meeting of this character presided over by students. The constitution was at l ast adopted
The Forum offers to members of the boys' societ ies and other students something not found e l sewhere. Watch announcements concerning this new boosting factor in the High School.
THE PHYSICS CLUB.
Last Friday the Physics Club met in room 33. After the nominations were made for the various offices, the matter of selecting a suitable wireless set was discussed. After various plans had been submitted, the c l ub finally se l ected the best one . In these times of war, when a ll t h e news is coming through the various wir.eless stations, it pays one well to study this wonderful thing. To do this you must join the Physics Club. During the course of the semester the wireless as a whole and its various parts will be discussed by the · members. By next meeting it is probable that the club will have the instruments and will be ready to decide how they shall be placed. Now is the chance to learn something real and up-to-date, besides being intensely interesting. Come next meeting

EDITORIAL.
Did you miss the editorial last week? Probably not. We did. Editorials eliminate length from the joke column That's what they were invented for. It is very difficult to find a suitable topic for monologue these days There · is so much to choose from that the result last week was none at all. However, the neglect gives us a start this week-something to talk about.
We have our choice here of utilizing this space for the benefit of the world at large, of our High School at home, or of this little paper called the "Advocate." Finding all three in dire need of counsel, we shall divide our space impartially.
School spirit is now rising to the point where it actually boasts . The football game season has begun here at heme. Everyone is offered a season ticket for one dollar to four big games, no one of which any student will wish to miss. This is the spirit - that wins when it gets together in the grandstand and yells for Lincoln High at every game Don't think that you won't go to all four games. Get that ticket and you WILL go.
It has come to be so with the staff that the printability of a joke rests not only upon its moral standards, but as well on its actual legibility in the form in which it is handed in. In English clases jokes, locals and alumni notes should be grouped by themselves, and written LEGIBLY on ONEl side of the paper IN INK.
I haven't time-to join the chorus, read up a special report for history class, get a prose lesson, join the civic league. go to class meeting, cheer the fellows who are ploughing up the ground near Twenty-second and J with their noses. Now you heard from six to half a dozen of the-se laments?
When an author completes a notable work be has it copyrighted. Valuable producti-ons, literary or artistic , especially for amusement, are guarded in this way as to the credit for their composition Orally, a joke is his "who tells it best," but along with the humorous anecdote, it is, when copied from a publication and printed, a thing for which due credit should be given. In contributing such wit, you should name the source. Placing your name at the end means that you declare it original with yourself. If you notice in our columns "c opied" material , it will be because we are ignorant of the source.

At every football game . For the huskies we will root and yell, To cheer them on to fame. Can ' t you hear the whistle blowing To start the game along?

Fredk Macdonald furnished the photo of the football squad on the WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO VICTORY front of last week 's " Advocate." Tune: Chorus, ''I'm on My Way to _ Mandalay "
Now why did you HAVE to talK to -(he shall be nameless )-for half an hour after sixth at the west door of the Ad building? or plod your weary way up and down 0 street until set of sun? or entertain yourself in 103 from two to three periods daily? H'm!

No.1 OH! OMAHA!
Tune: Chorus "Tale of the Kangaroo."
Oh , Omaha, you're beaten, Oh, Omaha, you're blue, VI' e've used you rather roughly, We're feeling sad for you. Go seek the place you came from, And tell the ones who wait That the LINCOLN boys are hustlers, But you found it out too late.
No.2 GOOD -BY E OMAHA
Good-bye, Omaha, you're beaten, Though we hate to use you so; Something tells us you'll be weeping As to Omaha you go. See, the Lincoln boys are coming; They will tear you up, hurrah! You will neve r know what hit you, Good-bye, Omaha.
No.3 LINCOLN BOOLA SONG Third Verse
Well, Omaha is here to play, Just watch them vainly try to score, l'lut we can't think they'll win today, And they'll be very, very sore. We know you have a husky team, We're glad you don't weigh more; You beat us several points. one time, But you can't do it any, any more Then we'll cheel' for Lincoln, for Li,ncoln , for Lincoln, Then we'll cheer for Lincoln , for Lincoln, for Lincoln High
No.4 LINCOLN WILL SHINE
Lincoln will shine tonight, Lincoln will shine; Lincoln will shine tonight, Lincoln will shine; Lincoln will shine tonight , Lincoln will shine; When the sun goes down, And the moon comes up, Lincoln will shine.
We've come today in grand array, We're going to clean up Omaha and be gay. Oh, you'll feel blue when we trim you , We can't think you ' ll win today; So, boys, join with us, In a long, loud chorus, And we'll make all Lincoln ring So then take the hunch, We ' ve got the punch, We're going to win today.

W AHOO WINS FROM SECOND TEA M
Last Friday the second team went to Wahoo. They returned with considerable Wahoo mud and the smal l end of the score of 6 to 9 Superintendent Walton invited the team to assembly, where Assistant Manager Warner, Captain Montgomery, Coach McGurke and seve r al of the fellows made e legant speeches.
A wet field interfered with the work of both sides. In the first quarter Lincoln p laced the ball over Wahoo' s line three times, two of them being disallowed. The result was Lincoln's score of 6, which hung at that point to the end Wahoo kicked a field goal in the second quarter and in the third made ·a touchdown. Lincoln was heavily penalized, probably to the extent of seventy-five yards.

Though tardily. we would yet correct an error in the Advocate for Sept- ember 29 , when'!in the context of our language 1brought it .about that Principal Mays seemed to take a side in the European conflict, which is untrue, and especially a contra-German attitude for which there is likewise no grounds except the r' eporter' s imagination. We extend our apologies to Principal Mays and likewise to the many others we unwittingly misquoted or wronged in some w.ay during the school year.
That reporter (of course w<e do not know his name), promises to neither sleep nor become deeply absOI'bed in books during assemblies heJieafter.
It might be infie-rred that some schools mistake the revJ size of the " Advocate " · They forget that we publish every week, and that large s pecial numbers are· distinctly separate. Oth'ers , on account of using poorer paper , use larger type and wide line spacing, and cannot equal our cuts. 'AS a rule , pages do not carry the whole account in either a school paper or life's album. So might we remark that the man made of "good stuff," with .a correct moral co&e , his principles and his lines straight, advertising only what he •be1ieves best, may not only equal but exce l him who , seemingly most important from size. carries the other qualitiJ e•s in smaller proportion.
No paper, we 1believ1e , offers better opportunity for displaying school literary ability. So that for the world, and that and that,-1and we will keep the Advocate up to its grand old standard

" Yes , Advocate, I haVIe• come to you for much needed advice I find that I must do something to keep up my oratorical and literar y reputation. I have sadly neglected my orations of late because I ha ve used all thle. names that rr have discovered in the La ti n and English languages. The other day I met my .friend Catali ne and he blithely inquired what I was doing and upon hearing my reply that I was !engaged in doing everybody he remarked that a person 's natural traits were tbound to come out. He informed me t hat he had a position on the :staff of the king of the Fiji Islands and that his duty was to overt hrow the Fiji counstei when they did not .sca r e up enough fat mis sionaries. He says· that the position is all right, but , to quote his exa'Ct words , ' The tro ubl e is, Cicero, they are not content to merely peddle hot air as you we!1e: prone to do when I riled you in tllle• ·senate, ·but their method of overcoming t he oppo,sition is to use a s•tout hickory cl ub applied at the po1·tion of the human body called the head. Th eir head, C icero, is not like most people' s, for a protection fo r the brain , but lik e so!llle• of the freshies you see about Lincoln High Sc'hool , their head is just a convenient ent ranc e to their stomach .' Of co urs e I was overcome 'bY the statemen't when bt e1 referred to the freshies· as I always believed that he spoke of things of at least some importance.
"Have you nuide no observations, discoveries, or other of like importance in your trave ls ?
" Well, Advocate, I havte. . while on an exploring expedition , which, by the way, was Jed by Caesar, I landed upon the Scandinavian islands, and there, by chance , I discovered a •s pecies of animal long thoug ht to •be extinct, tllle Latin us sharkus, a most wonderful anima l who exists by devouring prose papers.

VOLUME XX
LI NCOLN VS. COUNCIL BLUFFS
5 2 TOo.
What do you think of that score? Looks remarkab l y like a state championship, doesn ' t it? Council Bluffs ki c ked off, and the ball went over the goa l line. lt was brought back and g iven to Lincoln on the 20 yard line. Council Bluffs was immediately penalized 5 yards for offside. A series of plays brought the ball to within 25 yards of the goal, and a beautifully exec uted forward pass gave McGlasson his chance to car r y the ba ll over tbe goa l lin-e. True kicked goal, making the score 7 to 0 Lincoln kicked off, but Council Bluffs lost the ball on down s. Before the end of the qua r ter Lincoln had brought the ball to the 5 yard line.
The second quarter opened with the bali in Linc.ol n ' s possession on the 5 yard line of her opponent, so it only took one minute and 27 seconds for Albrecht to make a touchdown for us. True again kicked goa l ; score 14 to 0. There was no more scoring during this quarter, although Quick made a sp lendid r un 35 yards for a touchdown, but he was called back be ca use of stepping out of bounds ; and a lthough Council Bluffs worked the fo rward pass w ith considerab l e success, gaining 41 yards in all, the ha lf closed, leaving the ball in Lincoln ' s possession near her own goal.
At the very opening of the third quarter the Lincoln boys began to show the stuff they were made ot , with the results that they gained three touchdowns.

Among these· famous -speakers was -:lliss Jane Addams, who is known and honored throughout this· country and abroad.

ballot, and of the five women who sit in the :state council of China.

LINCOLN DEFEATS AURORA
T he F i na l Score Registe r s 67 to 0
Yfore memories of last year w e re replaced by fresher, brighter ones when Linco l n defeated Aurora last Friday A good erowd enjoyed the game, and the day was ideal.
True won the toss and chos-e to defend the west goal. Aurora's first kickoff was illegal and th€ir second met with long runs that speedily brought Lincoln 's first touchdown Lin c oln kicked off and held Au r ora, who punted. The second touc h down fo llowed Practica ll y the same thiug was repeate d when Lincoln f u mbled aft€r Aurora's kick-off and Aurora punted. For the third t im e the ball went over the visitor's goa l line Linco l n returned the kickoff well and with a c ouple of more runs, took the fonrLt , touchdown. l!'or the first tim€ the ba ll fail€d of the goa l -posts , a nd the score was 27 to 0. The city of the ris ing sun was fighting ha r d in possession of the ball when the quarter ended.
In the second quarter the ball €Xchanged ho l ders several times, a n d but one touchdown resu l ted. Lincoln b lo c k e d a punt and executed a pretty forw_ard pass during th€ peno?, and hu es mashing was a l so a f ea ture The sc ore totaled 34 to 0.
T h e third period somewilat bled the first. L i ncoln kicked off and smother€d Aurora's forward pass. They received the l atter's punt, and afte r passing successf ull y, took another touchdown.

BR Y AN SPEAKS IN ASSEMBL Y
s. S t ud e nts Enj oy Ad dr ess
Last Tuesday, Linco ln High was honored by a t-alk from Hon. W ill iam J. Bryan We choose to call it a "talk ," both because the half hour flew so quickly that it seemed a great m essage d€liV € red in the pause of a moment , and be ca use it came to u s so directly that it will a lways be remembered as an encouragem€nt, a sp-ec:al advice, and the s umva lue of e ducation and an idea l.
Officers of the Ci vic Leagu e sat aro u nd Mr. Bryan on the deco r ated stage, and among them Mr. A. R. Ta l bot, the S€c- . r €ta ry of State's first law partner To Roy Tru e, president of the l eHgue, Mr. Mays t urn e d o ve r r.he assembly, and Althea Meyers , pres i d€nt of th e girl s' leagu€, introdu ced the spea k er. Mr. Bryan recalled his own school days when he had mark ed out his ideal. The dir ec t following of it had m e t with fr€quent interruption, he told us , but when opportunity presents its e lf h e i s going to take up t h is ideal aga in Hi s s peech dwe lt on · the n ecess it y of an idea l to life and -ed u cat ion for life. He adapted hi s a ddr ess to two l(inds of list€ne r s: those who expect to l eave ·school with g radu at ion from hi g h sc hool , or sooner , and those who are anticipating as complete a n ed uca tion as our country offer s. His words to t he first group of st ud e nts were a powerfu l argument for schoo l training. The dull axe will long be a symbol to us of hi s belief in a s harp mind To the second group Mr. Bryan emphasized the fact that the h ea r t wa s e v e n more important t han the h ea rl. A goo d heart and a d u ll mind i s far preferable to a bri g ht mind actuated by a bad heart. He contrasted t h e high-flying, lowli vin g buzzard with the hon ey-see kin g industrious be e. " Th e buzza r d cannot help b e ing a buzzard , and the bee cannot help bein g a bee , but you can make of yourself wh at you will." Will w e fo r get this, or no t?
Beatrice and York: 0 to 0. Jt looks as though Lincoln had two exciting gam€s l eft.

The baseball season is over, but it is still possible to play the game on a somewhat different diamond. It is meant for eight i nn ings, but ten or twelve can be had You can fan out in one. two, three order, too, just by " U " slip, " U" slip, ''y ou flunk." Bases aren 't given away, however, and it' s pretty hard to stea l them. Some get along with weak , one-base h its, and some have a way of specializing in home runs. A few pla y marbles at the bases while they get their breath. In the end, however , of course , we have to admit that it's all lucie
Perhaps you infer that some attach rather a humorous attitude to the mention of "Forum. " Such a state of affairs need discourage no one who is earnestly working to found a worthy institution. It is the case dur i ng the organization period of many such movements.
In speak i ng of this subject, the writer is no t unwill ing to say that he is in teres ted in one of the recognized soc:eties, but adds that he hopes to see a decided change for the better in that society. It i s for this r eason that a newcomer in the fie l d which bases its success and existence on the already founded soci-eties must give in return all that it demands for its support. \Ve therefore ask, "What will the u l t:mate result of such an organization be?"
The re is much personal connected with the " Forum, " and this has much influence with those opposed. Nevertheless. leaving this out. let us consider the case impartia ll y. A Forum could do great good . However , those who are to be members m u st agree as to its nature and object. A strong affinnative spirit is ne ces sary to see it tbru If it 's to fulfill a purpose, both the purpose and the manner in which it is to be done must bB clear. \Ve hope the work of making something

I think that if the contributors of some of the poems printed in the Advocate would pay more carefu l attention to the "feet " of their poems, so they wou l d j ingl e in t h e right rythm, instead of making one say some words fast and others slow to sound right, the effect wou l d be much bette r

The Freshman meeting was h eld i n room 202, last F riday f'uzz l e: If fives ixths of them were girls, how many boys were there? "Why don't more boys come? Th e Freshman gir l s are as gentle as lambs, and wouldn't hurt you for ANYTHING!

In offering to start a "Letter-box" last week we failed to ·forsee the poss ible outcome of such a system. It has s ucc eeded in the co lumns of other papers , and can in our own if only properly used. Otherwise 'it would r es ult as disastrously as mi sued editoria l space, and wor se if names of writers are to be omitted. In opening the department the question used as a leader wa.s presented with as littl e 'bias as we believed poss.j.bJe. The inference that any other attitude was taken we feel unjust and hope will be corrected in the mind s of readers of the " Letterbox ." the use of which will , we think be ·highly advantageous to a ll conce rned.

Th e nam e "Fo rum ," which has such a humorous eff·ect upon some people, has an entirel y different meaning to others.

With g L" cat r ej oicin g an d many rousing cheers w e at this tim e bid farewell to the 1914 foot ball season , although we still r etain in our excited and efferv escin g minds , m emories of the g rand est seas on that h as ever had the good fortun e to crown old Lincoln High with its many laur els. Countless praises and honors have b ee n generously bestowed upon the noble warriors of the gridiron by en thusiast i c and lo yal supporters , who are anxiously watching every opportunity to show their appreciation of th e exce ll ent mann er in which their r epr esentatives ha ve so gallan t l y defended the dear old scarl et and black durin g th e past season.
Never b efor e in th e hi sto r y of our school ha<; th er e b ee n snch a manif es tation of verifi ed , overflowing , efferv esci ng enthu 'l i asm as has been displayed this year upon eac h and every occasion, when eve r the slight es t provocation for its outburst off er e d itse l f. 'l'h e entire school h as covered itself with g·lory by rising in a bod y in support of its t ea m of teams The unified, on en ess of pirit exe mplifi ed in the stud ent body was a worthy exa mp l e for the team to follow and th e wond erful team work displayed upon the fie l d b y our h eroe s co nvin ce s us beyond doubt that our fir st l esso n in teamwork w a s not. in vain.
Our worthy captain h as told u s on a previous occasion that this year's chamnionship ha d be en p art ial ly won b efor e the call for the first practic e had b e en issued in th r- fa ll 'l'o th e on tsicl c sm:rports nerhaps this do es not have much signific a n ce hut to those who a r e cl ose obse r vers of t ea m p l ay this fact ha::; a great d r-a l of w eight In ord er to get b ac k to t h e beginning of this foot ha l l season we must take oursel ves back to that sPectacn l ar final ba ske t ball ga me with Om a ha at tlw cl os e of the tournament last year A glorious victory it was a nd how we r e joi ce d . But it did mor e than m er el y bring honors to us l ast ye ar. It pav ed tl1 e for this year's honor:;; by its ps yc holo g i c::1 l effec t u pon th e mind s of both p l ::1v ers and R1ll1Porters. Enconrag ecl by th e victory, a det er minat i on to gain fnrther h onors b eca m e th e g-onl of a ll , and the co ncliilat es for thi s vea r 's foot h::11l te,nn. Proo f of thi'l d ete rmination wa'l shown b y th e fa ct that t r::1inin g was b egun in the s nmmPr. Prosp ects fo1· the approaching season were discw;sed amm1 g t.h e team aspirants and each -vvas enconra g ing the oth er to do all in his pow er to pnt l1ims elf in the b es t possibl e nh ys ic al condition for t1le ::; cas on of seasons.

a brilliant season by au cx hibitou of the most brilliant game of the year a ud sent the Top eka team home bewilder ed and perpl exe d with the short end of a 41 to 0 score.
Too much honor and prais e e annot be given the gallant h e roes of this wond erful team , not alone for their performan ce upon the field of play but also for th e ir excell ent team spirit their a.ttitude of uns elfishn e ss towards eac h oth er , and for th e upright and manl y m anner in which they have r e present e d th e i1· school throughout the entire season. The faet that om· foot ball team has played exce ll ent bal l this year has brought great honor to th e school nnd we receive it g laclly and r c joi. c<' tog eth er. But th e fact that the dev elopm ent of th e team has been instrumental in tl1 e d e v elopment of r eal cha.racter justifi es the existence of th e team wh ether successful or not. S ol'n e one h a s that th e play ground is the laboratory of character and foot ball is an activity of th e play ground. If the na,tmal outl e t of the spirits of th e adolesc ent boy is withdrawn , the hoy is bonnd to become a dang erous nnit in th e co mmunity. The type of ma.nhoocl exhibited on th e foot bal l fie l d is th e prevalent typ e in Am erica toda y Intelligent and str e nuous a ctivity in lif e c haracteriz es th e sncce,sfnl man of affnirs. Nowhere does the boy have n b ett e r chance to l ea rn to tneasut e the sk ill of his opponent and to pnt forth nll that is in hin1 t h nn on th e foot ball fi eld.
The g-reatest \ri ct or y thnt has come to th e team this year is the fact that it has d e monstrat ed to th e puh l ic b eyo nd all doubt that fair play and success do g·o hand in hand. Not on l y fair play on th e part of the team but on the part of th e snpportcrs, th e school and all connected with the snccess of onr 1914 foot ba ll team.
The latirels of victory should b e shared equally with the supporten> and rooters who RO loyally sto od behind th e t e ams and demonstrated that spirit of team work whi ch was so efficiently followed by the play ers on th e field .

To g iv e a detailed account of the musical activiti es of the past year would r e quire a great d eal of time and space. It is suffic i ent to say that during the year just cl osin g music in the High School has reac h ed its highest point of s ucc ess in th e hi story of the school. Not on ly h ave the differ ent organizations thrived within th e mselv es but th e whole student body has ta.k "n an int e r est in the success of things musica l which has nev e r b efor e b ee n surpass e d or eve n e qualed. Evid ences of this s pirit are to be seen (or rather h eard) on ev ery hand. The thre e chief contributors to th e cause are th e b and, the chorus, and the hi gh school orchestra. Each of t h ese groups me e ts r egularly twice cve1·y week and in add ition to them there are severa l class and soc i ety orch es tras which deserve honorabl e m e ntion. Th e band speaks for itself, and has b ee n so doing throughont the whole semest er. Th e work of the chorus this

In addition to t h e ser ious work of or ganixnt ion , th er e i s the op portunity for ac qnirin g t he social training t h at i s quite nec essary to the majority of girls nowadays.

Through it s steady progress this society has gained consid('l'a hl (o) prominence .

A STORY.
Onc e t here was a little Fr e shie
He was called so green, so gr e en. Thwt he S<!.i d. " I must do something So my brightness will be seen." So he set to work one And he s tudied hard , so hard, That a Soph'more was astonished , And he said , " Wilst be my pard? "
But th e Freshie shook his " noodle ," And kept plodding toward th e sun; And a Junior , puffing, panting, Said , " I guess I'll hav e to run." But th e Freshi e kept on plodding rAt his studies , one and all. And the Senior ' s pride soon 1•anished
And his dignity did fa ll \Vh e n he saw his green, gre e n brother Perched upon th e highest round Of the ladder of Hard Study , But he only scowled and frowned ':\'ow the moral of this story Is. as you can plainly see, Tha:t the Freshi e s are th e climbers ; They ' re th e only on e s for me.

A Sad Tale
A Freshman was wrecked on an African coast
Where a cannibal king held sway; They served up the Freshman on slices of toast
!And on the eve of the very next day But the vengeance of heaven followed swift on >the act, By cho l era morbus the tribe wa s attacked, For the Freshman was terribly green.
Miss Wort (in Roman history): "What were the apes used for that were brought back from Africa?"
Helen W.: " For the manufacture of tapestries.''
Miss Roth: " Vi/hat is the most perfect vacuum? "
James (rising): "Irvin Lynn's head ."
On the train, an old farmer unsophisticated to •the ways of modern trave l , bot1gh t several bananas from the newsie. who afterward asked how he liked them. "Oh, , pretty good," rep l ied the rustic. "onl y there ' s too derned muoh Cob."
"What's the matter with He len? thought she was studying to be a stenographer.''
" Yes, but she couldn't run the typewr i ter. She used to be a servant girl , and every t ime the bell rings she goe s to the door."
We take pleasure in pleasing you.

Every time they made a touchdown we broke th e ty p e write ;·, and wh e n th e high hopes of our honorable opponents were s uddenly da s hed to the ground in the approved style , only the touching pathos of the incident appealed to us and we bit the wrong key s Then again, sometime s we may have sent the wrong player across the v-isitors ' line for the final touchdown of the period, which is, on the whole, considered by sporting editor s to be d e ucedly bad form.

" TRELAWNY OF THE WELLS" SCORES GRAND SUCCESS.
Junior Class Presents Play to Large and Appreciative Audience.
F r iday even; ng saw the Clas s of 1916 pre se nt a play of excellent int eres ting qualiti es and distinctive of gre<cl.t dramatic talent-"Trelawny of the We ll s " The hous e was well filled w hen the orchestra began the evening 's entertainment , and the c urt ai n ro se. r evea li ng th e lo dgings of Mr. and :VIn; Telfer, they who had taken the parental part in behal'f of Rose Tr elawny , sta r ac tres s of the Wells theater.

ANNUAL SENIOR SLOUCH EARNS MORE THAN USUAL APPLAUSE.
Class of 1915 Affords Amusement to Entire Lincoln High.
In th e ce lebration of their slouch day, as in the carry in g out or all their privilegPs , the Seniors enjoyed signal success. Numerous walking a<lverlisemen ts gathered at the school early Friday mornin g, and before the class bells rang , the co iTi dors were filled with the lame and the dilapidated, gazed upon with wonder and envy by the under c l ass men. Costumes were varied and no two of the unre cog nizable were so alike but what the unique eccentricities of each ca ll ed forth admiration. Every warring nation of the old world, as well as eve r y peaceful industry of o ur country, found an able representative wandering through the halls with aimless abandon.
The official schoo l day began with assembly under the direction of the senior class. The program went in action with the music by the senior orchestra, which aggregation fumished sel ections several times. A play written by a talented inember of t h e class brought forth ext r aordinary approva l. with the rise of the curtain the c rowd ed auditorium gazed upon a count r y store holding among tile mul· itude of its salable stuffs, life-size advertisements of many wares. The o ld German storekeeper was imm ediate l y busy in his duties and disclosed great secrets from his position as postmaster. Upon his falling as leep. the doll. hitherto only seeming to be a me<!hanical one, came to life, and her exa mpl e was followed by the nin e advertisements. Forthwith , there was a contest a.mong the elig ible adve rti sing gro up to win her hand, while the gir ls engaged in the play vied with one another in furnish ing part of the good t im e that was the object of the awakening. Th e plot was well worked out but the enjoyment. of the action came from the take-offs on the students an<l faculty. ·w,ho was the black cat? Th e cast assumed their tab leau positions once more to sing the class so n g. Scarcely had the laugh te r died away when Ro se Scott stepped out before the audience, and, dres sed in the garb of a boy of the west related her confidences from a friend to the end less e njo yment of the hear€rs. Charles Right€ r rendered a violin so lo with the ta l ent that never faiis to win the appreciation of the students, and the costumed fiddler immediately following him might be confused with himself.
A beautiful dance in the costume of the Fa1· East was given n€xt. Their work was excelle nt nad their s in g in g fine. \Veil begun and well finished is l h e verdict on th€ program of a ll.

THE BOHEMIAN GIRL
(Continued from page 1.)
So before the end of the semester you must all turn orut :to see the " Bohemian Girl." You will mis•s a big thing if you don't The "Bohemian Girl" lis one of the best-loved grand oplell'as -ever written. The sto ry is· romantic , the action lively and ra;pid (especially along about lthe time that da ring s lave appears), and has been made even more so by cutting out for this :production the few tedious parts. The .music is the same as that the profi Es s iona1s s ing, but it has been transposed in some cases, so that, with the exception of thrut high B-fiat there i s hardly a note that even your.s t ruly cannot re ach-in th€ choruses• , at least. T :he music i.s very attractive, and much of it is well known :w lovers of music in band piecles or songs like " I Dr-ewmt That I Dwelt in Marble Hans." The ·chorus lis warming up to it, and H you should hear anyone tunefully inform you that " In the Gypgie'S' life you read The life that a;11 would Iik e to le ad," you will know what to make of it. The " Bohemian Girl," will be given twioE', with costumes, stage effects, and (jrchestre. The orchestra will have plenty of work in ' the next few days!

YE PTOLEMIES.
The Ptoleni.ies not only held their last, but also their best, meeting of the year on the 18th of December, and in looking bae)!: over the year, we cannot remember any meet;ng in whic h we had so much "pep" displayed. Most of the members got rid of their surplus 1914 steam, saving only enough for Xmas dinner. Mr Hearn gave a detailed account of the shocks which he experienced in a street car, and Mr. .Johnson almost gave a.n oration on "Books ." Another very serious, and educational, lecture· was given by : Mr Kenneth Mortlock on a certain species of graft. We hav-e planned for several skating parties in the near f utur e, since ' it is· too co ld for aerial cruising. Ray Gere was e lected captain, manager, coach, doctor and water carrier for the inter-s ociety championship basketball team , to be. The committee on society caps ga,ve thei r report, and we expect to . have the caps by ' the time s c hool com· mences. Remember the colors-Blue and gold. For the benefit of the freshi-es, we · wish t o state that Ptolemy is pronounced like T-o-1-m-y, with a short o. An interesting prog r am is planned for next time, and we would like to have a good bunch of feiiows turn out. The Ptolemies are not mummies like their namesake, a nd we intend to prove it this year.

As the Opera cast were having their picture taken , a small bo.y, seemingly from the winds, stepped in front of the g roup and posed for his photo.
" Get out from in front!" someone from the side commanded. But sturdier than "Stanewall Jackson" did he stand.
" You will have to get out of the way , sonny," the photographer later iilformed him.
At this ' he one hand in his coat-or shirt, as it . happened to beand posed with the same dignity that Napoleon did when he was looking at the mummy of Pharoah If you don't know and want to get the exact picture of the lad, l ook in some history and find the pictur€ of "Napoleon and the Mummy of Pharoah."
Miss Alexander, who was standing at the side, called him, b.ut he moved not; so she took him away by ma in force The only plea he had and gave was, "I hain't had my picture taken for a long time yet. "
There were no papers signed, nor any legal declaration made , but it was merely agreed that this· lad should be the "Soloists' Mascot." This meeting with the lad's hearty approval, he was henceforth made mascot, and his picture was taken. Rath€r fool i sh, eh? No, not a bit Wha t ? '
; After having his picture taken , he answered numerous (s:Jly and otherwise) questions. These are some which I remembered:
"\Vhat is your name?" someone a s ked
"My dad's name is Mr. 'B., and my , 11ame is Fenton B." (That's queer, i s n ' t it?)

" I anl s even in .June and am in the first ;\ class, Pnd I know a boy what's nine and just in the first B," th€ qnes,tioner was informed (That's peculiar, i s it n o t.)

"How much ·does it cost?"
(Short intermission here for you to catch your breath .)
"It costs twenty-five cents per head," someone informed him. (That's nice for those who are said to have no bead isn ' t it?) '
"Gee! I just got fourt€en cents in my bank now, but reckon I can savelet's see-Ah, thirty-six cents more, ain't it?" (This is a gentle hint for you to start saving , too.)
"What do you want thirty-s ix cents for? Didn't you say you had fourteen cents in your bank already?"
'·Yes, but you see I ne€d thirty-six cents to add to fourteen cents to make fifty cents . See!"
"Why fifty? Didn't I tell you it cost but twenty-fiv e cents?"
"Yes, but I"m goin ' to take Mary. She's six years old, and is th€ little girl what lives next door to us."
(Doesn't this make you ashamed of yourself?)

Th e high school students are ind e bted to the Y. W. C. 1A. girls for an excellent program, the object of which was to advertise the Foreign Pageant presented last Saturday n i ght in the auditorium. Beatrice Long presided. The first number was a piano solo by Donna Gustin, after which Gie applaus e would not cease until an encore IYas forthcoming. Beatrice Long stated that the object of the girls in undertaking the pageant was to begin the founding .of a Y. \_w. C. A. in Rio de Janeiro , S. A. A subscription method will be followed · to defray expenses R e presentatives of each of the four acts in the pageant were in evidence and spoke on their respective departments. China and India were both found eloquent in descriptions, making plain the fact that the acts show present foreign Y. W. C. A.\ work. George Lessenhop added to his fame as a vocalist in the rendition of a song in Hindustan.
Announcements concerning the production of the affai!' were completed by Eleanor Hinman, chairman of the pageant committee.
LINCOLN HIGH TAKES THE OPENER, SCORE 26 TO 11
The Lincoln H i gh Schoo l basketbail team, accompanied by a number of rooters, visited University Place l ast Friday evening for the opening game of the season. It was a hard fought battle from the first whistle to the last . In fact, the anxiety of the playe rs caused them to play ahead of the ball much of the time.
The Uni. team made the first basket. score 2 to 0. (Much yelling from the Uni boosters.) The second basket was won by the Uni. team, score 4 to 0. (Much continued yelling from Uni. boosters ) '!.'hen, sad to relate, Uni. fouled and Thirsty threw squarely into the basket, score 4 to 1. (No yells rrom Uni.) One foul by Lincoln and two baskets made the score 5 to 5 at the end of twelve minutes. T he Lineoln quintet then took the lead and by the end of the first half the score was 15 to 6. (Funereal silence from the Uni. side.)
The second half was hard played by both teams , but the team work of the capital city lads was too good to give any chance for the Uni. team to win, and the game ended with a score of 26 to 11 in favor of L inco l n High,
The second of the series will be on our own floor with York this week Saturday at 8 p. m.

Few attempts to advertise a coming event have •shown as much or more effort to impres.s on the students the fact that •something of unusual merit is scheduled for appearance in the near future. None, certain l y, has been more successful. The work of the chorus last year resulted in the production of an opera pre s ented in so excellent a manner that the one to be given this year promises to be unsurpassable as a masterpiece.
S H AK ES P EA R E PR E SIDENT.
As president of the Shakespeare Society, Reila Eigenbroadt has proved herself most capable, working with girls .in their attempt 'to learn more Shakespeare. Not only has she sue· ceeded in this, but has also kept things nioving in an unusual manner. Heila has been in L. H. S., only a year and a half, coming to us from Temple High, but in this time has made many friends . She wa;s a member of the Chemistry Club year and was also taken into the Shakespeare Sp.. ciety She has always had many helpful suggestions to offer to this c l ub , and is always very much awake exce pt when she is losing her pocket book.
AND THE CIVIC
Mr. 1Mays outl ined last Friday in assembly a new plan of the Civic Club to make efficiency a thing sought for and especially valuable. The idea is to maintain an effi ciency li'st, for the consultation of business men of the city when employing students or selecting men to fill positions. The qualifi cation of a student to be placed on this list would be a mark of efficiency and worth, so that although he might not be in need of work at the time he wou l d nevertheless be equipped when necessity called.
'Mr Mays read letters from business men endorsing the plan and also read the conditions of qualification.
:1\fr. Marshall spoke concerning the basketball s chedule for the season The same appears in this issue of the Advocate.
The director of the chorus , :M.r. ler, was in charge of the program. :VIiss •A.lexander spoke on the action or the opera and the work of the chorus in undertaking the presentation of the "Bohemian Girl." Several of the singers are taking private lessons at present. All but one of the •so loists have had special instruction. The labors of Mr. 1Miller and his band of vocalists have been endless and unselfish to make this production the greatest success of the year Miss Alexander's comparison betweert the drama and the opera left the latter supreme in the field of stage attractions.
''l.'he soloists were seated upon the stage, and next contributed to the program in rather a silent way, 'l'wo cast s have been chosen in order that one may pre sent one night and the other the next. Josephine Scott and Bernice Reed take the part of "Arline"; Joseph Dahlberg is "Thaddeus " In >both Casts on account of the lack of another high voice for the tenor part; Doris Cole and iWargaret Perry sing the queen's part; charles Righter and Paul Williams are known as " Devilshoof"; the counts are· Curtis Grove and August Dietze; and Flarestein is acted by Lessenhop and Holliet Knapp. The silent contribution of these aforementioned consisted in their representation by :J\Hss Rose Scott who, with a passage from the lines of each made us realize what. we would miss in not seeing them in the finished production, wearing the costumes ordered from New York.
It has been the pleasure of th e school to hear many singers on the assemb l y platform, but few hav e pleased as much as members of the soloist cast in showing the high quality of their work .Joseph Dahlberg sang "Then You'll Remember Me"; Margaret Perry sang "Bli-ss Forever Pas t"; Curtis· Grove gave us "A Soldier's Life"; these being from those singers' respective parts in the opera.

W C T U LECTURE R I S APPRECIATED
The speech of Mrs Adelaide Rood of the W C T U last Wednesday i n assembly was highly appreciated by the students The work of the organization which she represents became clear in the mind of her hearers and her explanation of the charts which -she showed was of the greatest interest Among those facts which will remain with us are her assertion that beer contains about ninety-one per cent water and two or -three per cent food, with a marketable value of twenty five dollars a barrel The percentage of inmates of penitentiaries from the cause of intoxication united with crime is seventy, and rises to seventy-five i n Nebraska The effects of intoxication on the body, things taught in the grades, were made more plain by the speaker
Not less important was her information regarding the tobacco habit Most striking is the effect of this stimulant on the studying abilities and inclinations of the student The physical effect she illustrated by the chart of heart action tests

EVERYON E I S COIN C T O TH E OPERA
Everybody's doing it
Doing what?
Getting ready to go to the opera
The opera is the talk of the school, city and state, and as yet no advertising has been done But every person you ask says, "Yes, indeed, I am going No onewants to miss such a fine opportunity."
The managers of this wonderful all star cast have received letters and interviews with influential people i n our school and city I'he various societies of the school are boosting it, and expect to attend; the different classes are urging i n class meetings that everyone attend, as nearly all of them have representatlve.s among the stars, and i f not there, surely in the marvelous big chorus
The University Conservatory of Music is going to send a crowd, as most of the cast have studied or are studying under one of its teachers Owing to the fact that our couldn't he beat director, Mr Miller, is from Wesleyan School of Music, they are expecting to send a good many representatives Various teachers from Wesleyan have agreed to tell their pupils about i t and urge tbat they attend
All the teachers of L H S are coming, and since some of our best boosters are found among them, wo naturally expect a crowd through their effort At a meeting held a month or so ago of all the city teachers, the cast gave several selections from the opera which very much delighted the audience A great many afterwards said they were going to attend
Then comes the biggest part of all —at least we hope so—the student body Every member of "The Bohemian Girl" is urging her friends to attend Mr Hunter is advertising i t among his friends, and all of you know that Mr Mays and Mr Miller arc boosting for it , both i n school and out If you haven't planned to go, yo\ better arrange to now Keep either .January 15 or 16 open, or both i f possible Bring all your friends with you and seeif we can't boost music as well as athletics i n our school

With no a rd ent play cast anxious to utiliz e as much space as possible for the advertising of · their world-famous production, 1t again becomes desirable to use as many columns as can be well so used for the customary purpose of printing editorials . The war in Europe seems 'to be getting along as nicely as could be expected; our honorable and highly amusing state legislature is once more drawing a crowd at the capitol building; Congress is keeping busy; and EXAMS ARE COM[NG! What more could you want?
There 'Seems to be a general impression that no one is to get any credits this semester. Of course not. Is that what we come to school for? It is, however, at least a consolation · that the earning of these little marks has not entirely gone out of style and probably will not at once. Some of us even anticipate the acquiring of · four merits, and more than one ardent

We may even mueh serious consideration not only surmi'se that with the coming of a new by those who will seek employment semester the wor:k of making study immediate.Jy after graduation but as both a means and an object in life will well by those· who are in the habit of be a most powerful fad. The wise will spending their otherwise vacant time be farther in the l ead than ever, and in profitable employment. Perhaps it the foolish, though wiser than before, will more deeply interest this latter will be trailing some additional ties class , •since the choice of a man for a temp'orary position is of necessity behind their leader::;. more dependent on his record.
As to the efficiency qualifications, there is of course no doubt as to the demand of bu13iness men for truthfulness, industry, courtesy, etc , in employees, and the gravity with which the assembly received these words shows a respect for what they mean in an applicant. More or less discussion. however, has been and can be heard concerning the knowledge tests which called forth more or less merriment when read. It would seem a simp l e process to memorize the answers to this eatechism and produce the same upon request. This is not, certainly, meant as a test for industry or memory. As seventh grade civics, a good many of us will have to go back to the grades to qualify. Some mathematics tea-chers have long advised thi·s.

'The passing of cold weather will no doubt be hailed with delight by speakers on the platform. It is a new addition to the art of public speaking to have the audience carefully and with painstaking audibility punctuate each phrase and sentence with a well modulated cough. If one person could be e l ected to perform this duty alone the beginning of a custom might meet with failure. It is well, therefore that in some cases as the old saying is (allowing that numbers make might) "might makes right."

Last summer a typical downeaster furnished a New Work author who had a cottage in a Maine village, with farm produce.
One day when the man called with a wagon load of vegetables the author wishing to make himself agreeable, asked how much he kept on his farm.
'' Five cows and a bull," enumerated the farmer. " An, two yoke of oxen, a calf, a hoss an' thre e shares of Maine Central."
Years ago a former United tStates senator from one of our we·stern states was foreman -of a gang of lumberjacks, mos tlY Swedes. One day he had three or four with him on a raft.
" You better got someone to take Ole's place," one -of the men addressed him.
"What' s the matter with Ole?"
"Hae yust went under the raft and I tank hae 's not coming back "
As papa was about to apply the s trap Willie said firmly : " Father, unless that instrument has been properly steriliz ed, I desire to protest." This made the old man pause. "Moreover ;" continued Willie "The germs that might be released by the violent im· pact of leather upon a pprous 'textile fabric , but lateiy exposed to the dtist of the streets would be apt to effect you deletriously ." The strap fell from a nerveless hand

The opera•tic season of 1914-15 exJ; e r ie nced another thrill last Friday and Saturday nights_. and the history of L. H. S. Grand Op e ra contains an· other volume, as the result of t h e · ' Bohemian Girl." The production of tlri•s beautiful work was successful in the ex•t r e me , due to the fact that the had something good to attend, and everyone appreciated H. The auditorium was well filled each or t h e two nights of the p e rf-ormance
The production o'f th e " Bohemian Girl" is in every sense a triumph. Las t winter grand op e ra was introduced by Flo t ow's ':i\Iartha, but it remain e d for Mr. Miller and his chorus to show patrons of the dramatic art that Lincoln High could stage this high order of attraction in a permanent form. It is only once a year that a professional company offers Lincoln people an opportunity to see these masterpieces. 1Such opportunities, moreover, come at a high price The chorus, by reason of holding among its members such artists as ca n take principal parts in a praisewo rth y 1nauner. is presenting thes e masterpieces with enviable applause; and the great distinction of being the only high school in which students, a nd no-t profe ssionals, have sung these leading parts.
In making a grand opera compan y !'rom high school stud ents the work of train i n:; the fell on Mr. Charl e s H Miller, music supervisor in t he public •schools. Through his wide ex perience in such work came a handling of the new mat e rial under his c harge that finish e d in being a harmonious aggregation of singers.
There were two casts for the pl'oduction of this opera such an arrangement makes provision for the possibilit y of a principal's being unabl e to play :"\!o inability inconvenienced til e singers last week. Th ey have been \\ o rking fo r months on their p a rts , (Co ntiiUI-ed on page two ) ,,.'

This might b e attributed to the constant pronun-ciation o t her name , but for the fact that ch arg in g the same to "Avonia Bunr: ' in t he Junior P l ay had no effect. ·
L I NCOLN DEFEATS YORK , 28 TO 18
Second Game a n E x c i t i n g Fi g ht; Omah a N ext.
Th e S t ate Championship record o f the Scarl e t and Black quin t ette in 191 4 bids fair to be repea:ted this season , judging from the prese nt stat e of a.Ulletic affairs. The spirit of winnin g i s strong in Lincoln High this year Coach Mulligan's basket shooters working into fin e form under the leadership of Ca p ta in Morris. Th e work of Saturday night is both an indication and a r es ult of it.
Lincoln outclassed the v isitors in eve ry co r n e r of the floor durin g the first half at center, th e man who travels three yards b y m e r el Y falling down , took the ball wit h first whistle of the contest and sp ee d· ily dropp e d it through th e l.m s lr et. Eighteen points were won dnring this first period th1·ough the brilliant work o f ':\1 Smirth , who , at guard. t hr e w four field goals, th e consistent sc orin g of T. Morris, and th e additions b\· each of the other team-mates. O f the same class was Linco ln ' s d efe nsive work, which held York to a bar e three points.
With the -second hal f, York pu l forth an energeti c egort that :_: r c£se d the Scarlet and Black play e rs to greate r e xertion Cox, th e York captain , became th e star of the floor , scoring fiv e baskets in rapid succession, and ju. creasing his contribution to thirteen points. Th e lead of t he Capital C it y players was t oo gr-eat, how eve r , and the gu a rding abilities o f the hom e t e am , coupled wit h more bask et s hoting, closed the- se cond game of th e season with the sco r e of 28 to l S.

Ou r thanks a r e clue to the members o [ Miss Mu i r's senior classes for their nob l e assistance. Without such literary ability our paper wou l d be vacant indeed.
NE X T SEMESTER-
Let us boost fo r a bigger than ever paper. Experience shows that the s ystem i n the hand J:ng of t h e Ad voc ate is corre c t. In those high schools where the work of o b ta i n i ng all the material is l eft to a s.taff, the r es ult is that a large staff l acks responsibility and judgment, wh il e a sma ll one finds the work hard an d unsatisfactory The assistance of the Eng li sh c lasses in rotation a llows cred i t for work done. gives an u n li mited source from which to gathe r mater i al, and makes possible a paper of quality and quantity sel d o m met with THEN -
Subscr ibe ea r ly. T h e number of free issues will probably not be so great this time, since near l y everyone will be fatniliar with the p u btcat ion. The subscript ion list shou l d be even larger next term s i nce fewer will leave us th1.n come in. Hemember that special numbers, such as the Christmas number, come f r ee to s u bscribers.

T h is is just to show yon t h at we can fi ll the editorial page and to impress upon the new editor this re· s ponsibility. T h ere has a l ways been a ques•tion in our mi n d as to whether anyon e besides the editor can produce what is technica ll y ca ll ed an " ed i torial. " We are now convince d that this is possib le. On l y turn to the misc e llany on p ages six and seve n The reason you did not recog n ize them be · fore i s that they have headlines. Headlines cover a mu ltitude of sins.
THE ADVOCATE
THE LAST STAB A N D WHY
W i th this issue. the p r esent staff reti r es from the top of page 4 and aga : n find it necessary to become me r e subscribers to the paper. No longer have they the pleasure of reading everything in a half-baked state, such a numbe r of times that when fina lly in fo r m for the p r ess they no longer tempt perusal.
ALTOGETHER-
lt has been an un u sua ll y s emester. The Advocate has maintained the place to wh ich forme r workers elevate d it. Comp l aints have been few and given in good faith. The paper has been supported by the student body better than eve r befo r e. Over seven hundred subscribers receive the paper in cur ' ow n c l assrooms. ·with those cop:es which are maile d each week and d i stributed from the offic e the c ircu lation is raised well over eight hund r ed, wh i ch in a schoo l of e l even or twelve h undred can not be criticised. Such student su p po r t makes an advert i ser feel that he is going to get all he pays f o r , for a st udent body who w ill support the:r paper in so strong a fash i on will undoubtedly show an equal patronage to their friends.
OF COURSE- -
In the cou r se of the term we have ma d e many mistakes. If possib l e we wil] cor r ect all of them that we ca n now. In various presentatio n s of d r amat ic art ce r tain of the dese r ving h ave been overl ooke d in the dist ri but ion of c r ed:t earned. This has been d u e to both lack of space and to i gnorance of lhe facts
ESPECIALL Y -
vVe would thank those who have aided us i n procuring mater i a l fo r ou r co l umns. w·e are deep l y i nde b ted to all the teac h ers of the English depa r tment for their untir i ng efforts in their unselfish attempts to put before our r eaders the best of St u dent pro · duction in th e way of a h i gh school paper.
AND FINALL Y -
•As we ret u rn the printing foreman's paste bottle (bad ly messed up) to his desk ; slip the compos itor's shears (borrowed " just for a day") into h is drawer; throw all the dead copy i nto the waste basket, and make up f ri e n ds w i th the !type -setter at the same t i me you lmow we shou l d li ke to thank a ll o ur specia l contributors fo r those things they have put in our reac h . The Ad I' OCate never refuses a clever ca r toon. U you can dra w , draw for us on suitab l e paper with su itable ink. But we were going to thank yo u for whart you h ave done. We d o, a nd we t h ank all those who express thei r w it in the Engl i sh language fo r the benefit of our readers
The p l aylette presented by the se· n io r s l ast slouch day was due to the excellent work of Hazel Smith in the writing of t h e p l ay and the efforts of the sponsors, Miss Carson and Miss Wo r t , in the coaching of i t.

\ Ve ack n owledge the kindness of Frederick MacDonal d in furnishing for t h e Advocate pictures of the football boys taken on the fie l d and the photo of the chor u s' mascot. The k i nd d i gposition of such people has been a great help to the paper.

For long we thought not of this word Examinations.

But now we hear it every day, Vve study all we can or may, And faces lengthen when they say , "Examinations! '

LINCOLN HIGH THE WINNER
Omaha Beaten by Score of 25 to 16 in T!1rilling Game.
Before an audience that packed the "Y" gym to the doors, Lincoln 'High again s pilled the hopes of their rivals from Omaha. The final count of a game that was fHled with surprises, was 25 to 16, :the 16 being "the total achievement of the visitors Lincoln scored first before Omaha could get their hands on the ball but things soon evened up and until the very close of the game i t was anybody's victory Linco ln 's briHiant -start gave them a slight advantage, however, which helped them at the end. The first half ended 16 to 14 , with the Scarlet leading.
The "stars" for Lincoln were: Morris, Albrecht, Smith, •Schroeder, Hager and Schmidt, while for Omaha: Patty and Flowthow as forwards played a consistent game.

Referee: !Athletic Director Stiehm, of Nebraska University, 1914 CHAMPIONS AWARDED MEDALS.
The last assembly before "exams'' was under the direction of :the athletic department. Stage decorations consisted of Lincoln High's " All-Star ' basketball squad and the silver cup which was won last year in the State Tournament.
The program opened with a vocal so lo by Curtis Grove who was accompanied on the piano by Bernice Reed. The excellence of Grove's singing need s no comment. A short talk by Mr. •Marshall, in which he predicted another State Champ ion ship, was followed by a prolonged rendition of "Linco ln Will Shine Tonight," by the "e leven hundred " Gold medals, given by the State University, were awarded to six members of last year's team. They were: Lease, Schroeder, McCloy , Hager, Morris and A lbrecht. The program closed with speeches by Captain
ords. He was once known to make a grade of ninety-eight in a Virgil test, and he holds the international record fo the use of long words. His middle name is "Dictionary.'' As a member of the Coceronian Debating Society, Frank "Dictionary" Fowler has ac· quired considerab l e skill as an orator. During the :three years of his membership in this worthy organization he has held numerous offices, .among which were the presidency and vicepresidency Two years ago Fowler was Associate Editor of the Advocate and last year he was again before the public eye as a member of the Junior Play Cast. He will graduate in June. It is expected that all Freshmen will tip their hats .to this gent leman in passing.

By defeatir'g St Joseph 32 to 20 , Lincoln High registered their fourth successive vi,:tory of the season and strengthened their claims on another all-victorious ' season. · The game Sat· urday, lik e the others so far played, was fast and we ll-pl ayed. With their characteristic start, Lin coln scored in t he first minute of play and soon after tallyed another basket. St. Joseph then came to the front with three successive goals and continued their spurt until the score stood 13 to 8 in their favor. Right here Lincoln so l ved the play of thei r opponents and before the end of the half had reversed the score untii it read 24 to 13 Lincoln. The playing of E. Schroeder, St. Joseph's left forward, during the first half was nothing short uf spectacu lar He is fast on his feet a nd he shoots and passes with unusual accuracy. Throughout the second half the playing was more even, Lincoln scoring only eight points to St Joseph's seven

PHLOGISTON DEBATING S-QCIETY
The Phlogs met on Friday evening in Room 201. After preliminarys, we settled down to a mock trial, to give the Phlogs practi-ce for their fut u re work, as attorneys, judges , etc The outline for the trial was as follows
Charge: "Attempting to influence Den Ehrlichen Herr Deutschen Kaiser to dec'lare war "
As the :trial pro gresed, the first witness, Mr Hutton, alleged ex"convict of L-eavenworth and cashier of the N. Y National Bank, was severe l y attacked , and only Judge Raymond's great confidence sustained him
Society
The next witness , 'Mr Wynkoop, was a l so severely a tacked, b u t his purety of c h aracter and his winning smile saved him Mr Estes, Head Bass Chancellor of the German Empire, a lso gave his case , as a witness against the charged. Attorney T ex made a long speech but d-id n ot say anything. lVIr O'Neil, of New York City gave a very long speech, but he contradicated himself so much that he had to be thrown out.
Somewhat later, the jurors, Mr. Beaman, Mr Mo r gan, and Mr. Chapman , rendered the verdict of guilty. T he criminal was sentenced to life imprisonment under the care of the L. H. S

The Ptolemy society is the o ldest f:cientific society i n Lincoln High School. It was organized by C. Leroy Meisinger in che first part of the year 1909, and as charter members were Miss Lockwood's students in e lementary science of that year. The p r imary purpose of the society was to study ast r onomy, but in the past year it has included in its studies all l.Jranches of sc ience. The society was named a'fter Claudius Ptolemy, a noted mathematician and astronomer of the second century A D., who was related to the Royal Ptolemies of an earlier date. 'The first sponsors of the society were Miss Lockwood and Miss Jackson, whose works in the interest of the society have not been forgotten Our present sponsor is Mr. Hartzel , · and if you don't think that he is of the right sort, just get into one of hi s c lasses at the first of the semester.

SINGING IN THE HIGH SCHOOL.
During th e last year and a half w e hav e worked t o s·how what can b e accomplish e d in singing in Lincoln Hi g h The r es ults have excee ded our expectations. Th e only di sappointm e n t has been th e lac k of e nou g h bo ys w make the ba lan ce of parts p e rf ect It tak es some time to create traditions, and because very littl e attention h as bee n g ive n to s in g ing during th e las t t e n years, man y boys w ho sing well and would like to take worl,, have b ee n waiting to see how it all turns out. On e object is to d e v e lop as man y good voices as possible, giving th e m an opportunit y t o sin g so lo parts as soon as their voic e s are pro ve n adequate. Besides t his , every on e is g iven a chanc e to l earn good musi c and to get us e d to singing with a n orch es tr-a There is no good r eas on why two or th r ee separate choruses and as man y orc hestras should not b e working on diff ere nt. productions eac h semester. \V e hope to find several n ew voices• this semester to depend upo :J fo r solo work. In fact , we must find th e m , b e cause several of our leadin g singers will graduate this year and ne w on es must be ready to take their plac es.
'During the first two weeks of the se m este r an opportunity will b e given for a ll to sing a lon e and , while it is no t compulsory, we shall insist that eac h one si ng a ve rs e of some familiar song.
There is a g r e at nee d t o get the tenors out Scores of g ood tenor s c om e into the high Sc hol 'from the e ight h g rade , but. in some myste rious manner, th ey disappear as soon as t h e e ight h grade graduation songs are sung. If a 'boy 's voice is changin g, t h en is t h e ve r y tim e when h e can si n g tenor the easiest, espec ia lly if h is vo i ce c han ges slowly.
It is greatly d es ire d that a fin e c horu s b e in practice for nex t yea r when we ar e t o be in t h e• new build · ing. Some li gh ter work will b e given b y th e c horus this semster-something goo d- probab'ly a comic op e ra

shoulder and took up his pikestaff, and, as he started to climb that first lon g hill, he was heard to mutter, "!-think - !-'CAN ! " Just then the te l ep hone rang and-Mullie woke up!
But that dream-he cou ldn't forget it. The three hills and the far off light haunted him. What did it all mean and why cou ld h e not forget the visio n s of a fretful night? At last, in hope of relief, he explained his mysterious dr ea m to a friend ' and this is what the friend told him :

We of the Lincoln High School both Faculty and students, take th is opportunity of we l coming you into what we think is the finest High in the land We hope you will not waste a day in acquiring the big "Lincoln High Spirit " that will make your four years here so valuable. It is a spirit of democracy and fellowship that yo u have never experienced before and probably never will again. Get it!
" The lon g path to :the distant light stood for the coming year in the· Linco ln High Schoo l. The t·hree grea t ranges that he had seen signified the three ath l etic seasons , football, basket-
ball and track-a nd the th e light upon is the summit was the reward that comes to the school, the teams , and the .coach th rou gh a successfu l athletic year."
And so , knowing what his strange dream mean:t , i\iiullie started out to make it come true. You know the res·t. He has crossed the first range, is halfway up the second, and is making a running start for the third and last. We THINK HE CAN r eac h the top.

HOW ABOUT IT?
Plans· a r e on foot to publish a specia l Advocate of sixteen or twenty pages the first week of every month. This co uld not be done however, without considerab l e student interest and support and so the question is submitted to you. It is "Suggested that each of the • four numbers (there would b e four s p ecia ls during th e sem-este r) be sponsored and edi:ted by one of the four classes. This would give them an opportunity to compete along literary lines as well as in ath leti cs and , if contin u e d , would soon develope a large number of journalists. The staff would greatly appreciate comments upon this proposition.
"MULLI'S DREAM. "
Freshmen! If you don't know get acq u ainted with him He's the "wo nder-man" of Linc oln High . His real name is Mister Harold Mulligan, but he is called "M uHi'' for short.

once u pon a time 1i\Iulli had a dream and t he sto ry of that dream h as been adopted by the students of Lincoln High as the concrete expression of what is known as " L H. s. Spirit. "

PTOLEMYS WIN 16-0
The thir d annual intersociety basketball tournament was held Saturday afte rno on at th e "Y" gym and resulted in a victory for th e Pto l emys. Because of t he· inability of the Cict::ronian s to present a team, the tournament this year reso l ved it self into a contest b etween the Ptolemys and the Phlogisto ns. It was a h ar d fou ght battle on both sides , but t he s up e riority of the winning team was apparent from start to fin ish. The first h a lf ended w it h the Ptolemys lea din g by 10 to 1, and ·in this part of the game the Phlogs were clearly outclassed. In the second half t he debaters came back with b etter teamwork and the leaders were held down to three goa l s. This i s the s e cond time the Ptolemy s have won th e champ ionship. The lineup:

He Spoke to Him
Willie, accompanied 'by Fa t her and Mother, was crossing the o cean. Father and Mother were both very seasick, but Willie was immune Throughout the trip he had been annoying the passengers.

Father, turning a sea-green face toward the 'nampant youngster, spo k e in a languid v.oice: "How-de-do , Wilt:e?' '

He called. The bo y t urned around look e d and ran. ''He is,'' thought Ezra , ' ·he is a runaway." He started in pursuit o-f the flee ing boy.
Closer and closer h e came. At las t, the boy stopped and t urn e d on his p ersuer with blood in his eye. " Can ' t you stop?

A teach e r trying to impress on her children the rightness of kindness toward all animals, took them for a walk to bring the l esso n home to them Hearing a scream from little Johnny , she asked: "What's the manner, Johnny?"
"I've been s itting on a hornet ," was t he tearful r 'ls ponse , "and I'm afraid I've hurt the poor thing.''
Minister: ' ' John , you use profanity , do yo u not? "
John: "But, sir, I- I-"
Minis fer: "Go down and settle this plumber's bill for m e, and pretend it' s your own.' '

An old ne gr o parson in a Southern church was denouncing theft to hi s congregation, when he said : "If there is any member of th is congregation who is guilty of theft he had better repent at once and be saved."
"On his way home he was stopped by old Rastus , who had listened to the sermon intently
"Don ' t you think , parson, that n ext Sunday will de ju st as well as toni g ht to repent? " as ked Ra st u s .
"But, Rastus , why not rep e nt tonight and b e saved , man? ' '
"Well, parson , it's this way ,'' explained Rastus. " I want just one mo ' c hi c k e n fo' tomorrow ' s dinner and i know wha ' I can get dat chicken widout b e' n ' caught tonight."
"We ll, " said t he parson , h esi t a tin g, "I don't kno w what to say, s o I think I will take dinner with you tomorrow and then ta l k the matter ov er with you.''

'Country constables and the auto game were being di s cus se d , and Mayor-e lect J c hn P. Mitc hell of New York said h e was reminded of a r ece nt New Jersey incident.
Some time ago a Gotham man was driving an amomobile o ve r one of Jersey's smooth , hard roads , when a man &udden l y appeared in the highway a nrl he l d up a warning hand
"Halt!" he explaimed in a voice that had the ring of authority. "You are excee ding th e speed limit "
"What are you talking about?" indignantly cried the autoist, bringing h is machine to a stop. " I wasn't going fifteen mile s an hour."
" That' s what they all say. You can tell your story to the justic e of the peace It' s just seven miles beyond Drive on , please."
The r e was no help for it, and s even miles for th.:. autoist were slowly trav e rsed. Finally the town came in s ight.
" Much obli ge d to you, pard,'' said the m an. jumping from the car and s ta rting away. "I hated like blazes to take advanta ge of you, but I was so durned tired I couldn't walk another s t ep "

THE ADVOCA T E
BAND
So far this year there has been very little said about the Band. There has been no band editor and the student body has not been aware of the a cti'Vities of this organization. There are ;;everal reasons for this The band does not need publicity in order to do the work that it has been doing, and thev have been saving up a surprise for · the sc-hool. Now they are ready to Rpring it.
Sometime within the n e xt three weeks the band will give a concert of the pieces they have been working on since early ·in the fall. Among theEe pieces are "March Militaire," "Medley of Church Songs" and "Songs from the Old Folks," which was played for the Stunt Nig ht program. When a little Tipperary is mixed 'in with these heavier pieces the program is one that will be enjoyed by all. The exact date of the concert has not yet been decided upon. but it will be announ c ed with ' n the next week or two
Besides the band, the newly organized High School Quartet and the Orchestra will contribute s everal numbers. When this big musical entertainment is given it is hoped that the students and their friends will pack the Auditor : um to its capacity. Watch for further announcements.

For the Fourth Monthly Supper an unusually good program has been arranged Realizing that they must 1 maintain the high standard that has been set for these suppers. the committee has tried to secure the best speak-
ers possible for this occasion. The principal talk of the evening will be given by Chancellor Fulmer of the vVesleyan University. 'He is a man of wide exp e rience among students and there is no doubt but that his talk upon "Our Problems'' will 'be both valuable and interesting. 'Music will ,be furnished by George Lessenhop whom
nom- you all know as an excellent singer
Th e The supper will be served at 6
o ' clock on Thursday evening in the Red Room of the " Y." Tickets may be purchased from the committee or at the Y. M. C •A. before Wednesday night.

THE ADVOCATE
of rev enging their defeat of a month ago . Th e score of 28 to 11 by which we beat them before is an unreliable basis fo r comparing the two teams now , as Uni. .Place has been g reatl y strengthened by the return to school of one of last year's stars. The game will surely be a b attle and one worth see ing
After Uni. .Place comes B e atrice The "thir teenth ," you know, i s our lucky d ay. Beatr ice has two reasons for wanting to b est Lincoln . They a l so are after revenge. Their defeat in that famous champion ship football game last is still to be accounted for and they intend to c l ear up matters Saturday night. Their star forward, who was out of that football game with a turned ankle, will be right on the job in Saturday's bask etball game. But Herman of Beatrice will have to go some to throw many goa l s thru Herman (S.) of Lincoln The other reason why Beatrice will try especially hard to run up a high score is that by, a comparison of sco re s they might partly rever se their defeat at the hands of Uni. Place two weeks ago.
TEMPORARY STAFF ?
This is the space that is usually re se rved for the names of the temporary staff, but " there 's a reason" why their names cannot be published th is week There is no temporary s taff To you who read the paper, that is a small matter, but to the one whose duty it is to fill up the space with readable matter, it is quite another thing. It is almost impossible for one or two persons to collect locals, alumni notes , and original jokes that will be of interest to the whole sc hool, and so we ask that you b e lenient in your criticism of this and last week's edition With some of our brilliant and witty English "sharks " to assist, you can look for better things in the future. Did you read that funny joke on the l ast page? It's guaranteed to make you laugh. Look for it.
THE CRISIS.
Th is week i s the crisis in the ba sketball record of Lincoln High. Ever y game previously played ha s been hard fought, but has re s ulted favorably for the warriors of the scarl et and black Now is the time to make the final spurt for the fini s h , and now is the time when defeat will weaken our c hances for more and bigger victories. L. H. S. ha s met and beaten five of the strongest teams of the Missouri va ll ey, but this fact does not make defeat impossib le. Let us keep up our confidence, but at the same time be mighty careful not to let it grow into over-confidence, for that i s the spirit t hat will weaken the strongest of teams. Let us stay behind the team as we have before, and with the unlimited supply of "pep" which eleven hundred· can give to five, let u s push the basket tossers of Lincoln High over this tiny obstacle before and us on up to the top of the hill where the flag i s waiting fo r us to come and carry home.
Tomorrow night the team and a good l y number of rooter s will c ome from Uni. .Place with the one Intention

On Saturday night or this week Lincoln will entertain the basketball team and rooters from Beatrice The game will be played in the Y. M. C.

ment teams by the University accounts to a large degree for this general feeling, but the high school comes in for a large share of the pra i se for handling such a big event with such smoothness and enjoyment. And this reputation we must mainta i n in the future. Let us begin by showing the Beatrice delegation a rousing good time when they come to Lincoln the last of this week.
The idea of a reception party after the game, with dancing and refreshments, has never been fully developed nor bas it met mith any large degree of success , but this is probably due to

the fact that the organizations of the high school have failed to unite their forces. But backed by the bigger democracy and the united action which has been apparent in Linco l n High during the last year, it is almost a certainty that an event of this kind wou l d prove a huge success. At any rate. the Advocate will glad l y undertake the sponsorship of such a "Get-together" to be he ld after the Beatrice game Saturday. The only available place to hold the ev€:nt seems to be the girls' gym , but the heartiness and good will of the reception could easily overbal· ance the unattractiveness of our "par-

UNI PLACE TAKES SECOND DEFEAT AT THE HANDS OF L H. S.-SCORE 24 TO 7
Game Slow and Uninteresting-Mulligan Works Out Substitute Lineup
The game \Vednesday night between Lincoln and University Place was of a far different variety than any that has been played before during this season. The dash and fight that has characterized pre v ious games was not evident in this contest and both teams played below their usual standard. The final score was 24 to 7. Near the end of the first half Uni Place spurted and for a time threatened to overcome Lincoln's lead. but the threat was soon forgotten and the game settled back into a succession of slow passes and poor shots. The half ended 13 to 5 for L. H. S. -
This game was particul arly opportune for Lincoln in that it gave our hitherto untried substitute squad a chance to get into the game and show their wares. During the second half the entire first team was removed from the line of action and the second team sent in to take their places. The men who appeared for - the first time in a regularly schedu l ed game were Bright, Silsbee and Bril;m. These players show a great deal of promise and if at any time the occasion demanded, an entire team could be picked from the sub squad that would do full justice to themselves and to the school. In the state tournament that is to be played early in March these men will be counted upon for Lincoln High's second line of defense. and you can be sure that it will be a strong one. The other substitutes who have played before, were Hager and R. Smith. Of. them little need be sa'd as a ·secondary defense. They are dependable
The regulars who showed up strong iu the game Wednesday night w ere M. Sinith arid Schroeder. Smith threw a total of four goals and played an impassab l e guard position. while Schroeder's stonewall guarding was supplemented by his tossing two field goals from difficult ang l es. A careful (Continued on page six.)
A company of Brit·ish recruits in the trenches· were being tested on their ability to pass orders orally from trian to man. The original order was, "Enemy approaching on the right flank; send reinforcements." At the other end of the trench the officer heard, "Enemy approaching with a ham shank; send three and four pence ." The wag was not discovered.
The Advocate staff wishes to e xpress its appreciation of the excellent respons e that was given to the "Gettogether" suggestion.

LINCOLN HIGH BASKET TOSSERS SCORE HEAVY VICTORY OVER BEATRICE.
"Lucky Day " Brings Seventh Successive Win to Fast L. H. S. Team.
By ·defeating Beatrice 39 to 17 the Lincoln High basketball t€am regis· tered its seventh successive v i ctory of the season. The game was one of the best that has been played on the local floor sin-ce the season opened. Although the Beatrice team was made up of l ess experienced players than t he L. H. S. team , they put up a hard fight throughout the game. At t im es they we able to work dis t ressingly near to the Lincoln goal. and only the e xcellent guard i ng of Hager and 1\1. Smith kept their total as low as it was. Beatrice played their best game during the first half, which closed w i th a score of 17 to 6 in Lincoln ' s favor.
Both teams came back in the second half with a determination to win but the superiority of the Lincoln team was clearly demonstrated when they increased their l ead from e l even points to twenty-two. Fer the superstitious person it might be noted that Beatrice was unable to raise the:r s(}ore from the "13" point until after Lincoln had increased their .lead by fourteen points This peculiar coincident , coupled with the fact that Saturday was the "13th" of the month , is a strong argument that 13 is cur lu cky number.

On Friday , February 12, was held the best meeting of the year , in which
all members were present. The evening proved the most enjoyable of <J.ny held this semester, in spite of the ' drizzling rain that would have kept other s away except Ptolemies.
Raymond Gere spent his last evening as president of the society. We are more than fortunate in having for h:s successor a man who is capable of carrying on the affairs of the society , Mr Kenneth Mortlock. Here ' s hoping that he will prove as good a leader as his predecessor.
An interesting talk by Floyd Oldt on "Edison's New Invention of Submarine Batteries" showed how the new submarines for the United States will be constructed in the future.
Vve also have the pleasure of adding Charles Perkins' name to the honorary roll of the great sc'entist , Claudius Pto lemy.
Plans for the biggest and best banquet ever given by any high school society were completed, the date being set for Friday , February26, at the Lindell Hotel Roseroom. After the banquet the floor will be cleared and a dance put in motion . Representatives of the Phlogiston and Ciceronian societies will be pre s ent along with a strong body of Ptolemy a l umni.
After the discussion of the banquet. election of officers was carried out. The newly elected officers for this semester are as follows: Mortlock.
Beware of the captain! He ' s some strong man. Sam promises that hereafter patrons' meetings will not be disturbed.
Last but not least came the pie feed. Pies of all kinds went to fill the empty lunch-baskets of hungry voters. Frank Adkins says he loves pumpkin pfe. while Roy Johnson devoured the last cocoanut pie
After fifteen rousing cheers for our new pre:;iaent , the society adjourned.

H IGH S CHOOL " Y" CLUB
The ''monthly supper," which was held last Thursday evening, drew the largest crowd of any held this year. The popularity with which these big monthly events are r eceived by the fellows in High is a surprise to the committee in charge, and thei r probiern before long will ·be how to accommodate the crowd The fellows from the three upper c lasses who crowdEd the Red Room of the "Y" · and who more than filled the two large tables set for them, were thoroughly pleased with the talk of Chancellor Fulmer of Wesleyan University. His ' talk on "What to Do?" hit squarely the question that is engaging every fellow in high school. He is a convincing speaker.
The regular Wednesday "feed" will be he ld next week as usual. The fellow who is not in the habit of attending these l).ffairs should get wise to the opportun i ty he is losing. Unlike the "month l y suppers," the weekly "feeds" are open to Freshmen as well as the upper classes and the first -year fellows are especially welcomed.
The discussion in the Senior class last week was the social and dance question and the verbal scrap became so hot that it was decided to continue the argument until the next meeting. If you are interested in this question , come around and get into the argument.

The girls of the W : W. W society were entertained at the home of Alice and Doris Striplin on January 29. T he house was beautifully deco r ated in the society colors, silver and old rose.

SOME GOOD ADVICE
The following note was received via the Hot-Aerial Express last week. We thank the writer and will endeavor to follow his ad vice in the future:
Knowit, All-land , Feb. 15, 1915.
Bditor of Advocate, Linco l n, Neb r .:
My Dear Mr. Righter-Without any unjust reflection on the past editorialship of the Advocate, and believing firmly in the perogative of lat i tudinarianism, I w i sh to present to you , not a volumnous thesis of hypocondrical reminiscence or hypothetical conjectures, and irrational suppositions relative to the editing of the Advocate, but a few inambiguous and luminous suggestions.
First, do not tincture and saturate the verdant minds of the freshmen with polynomial and comniferous phraseology, which cannot be assimilated, digested or incorporated advantageously
Omit all mawkish and hectic exp;ressions intended to be jocular, because sententious and seigneurial sophomores might become sensiferous
Hackle , at l east hebdomadally _ all paramount, peccant and doleful requests to avoid the scandal surreptitious of a few parsimonious upperclassmen who think they are magniloquent, but may be a little noncompos· mentis. The seniors will not be pandemonius if you are ludicrous and not lugubrious. Accept, dear editor , this unocillatory and fabian advice, and have the knowledge that your staffmen at least know their alphabet.
I am, hypercondrically yours, Semper Laboravi, Ph D., Litt.D. Nota bene-Often consu l t Noah webster, or myself.
THE OTHER SPOR T
The ·success that Lincoln High has achieved this year in every line of sport has demonstrated more clearly than anything e lse the value of the school's getting behind the team and urging them forward to victory . The success of anY school in ANY line of activity can be traced directly to this one thing and , as long as L. H. S. has the to maintain this practice, we can be assured of unlimited success At times, however, this is not an easy thing to do There are occasions, when the team is playing poorly , or when the odds are strongly against them, that rooting and encouragement from the sidelines is a distinct effort. But the students must extend themselves as well as the teams if victory is to crown their efforts
This same princip le m u st be applied to another line of sport which is , as a rule, a little less popular than the larger sports such as · footba ll and basketball. The accepted reason that debating is less popular than the physical sports is that i t in cludes fewer students in the actual performance of the work , and that the questions under discussion require some previous know l edge before they can be understood and the merits of the argument appreciated. But this obstacle can be easily overcome, and debating can be made to demand the attention that it shoul d, and that it does demand in schools even smaller than ours. If every student would spend a half hour in reading an exp lanation of the question to be debated this winter it would no t be long before that old "football" spirit would be pushing the two debating teams to the front Let's do it!
The first debate in which Linco l n High will take part will be in W il ber on February 25. This is the initial contest of the Nebraska High School Debating League, and, as the members of the team mean to be heard from in the final contests. they will put up a hot fight in th i s first debate. Wilber always has a strong team. The next debate will be with Beatrice a week later
L:ncoln has not lost a contest of any kind so far this year, and the athletic crowd is pulling hard for an allvictorious year It cannot boa all-victorious if you allow the debating team to lose out for l ack of student support. The members of the negative team are Trester , Speier and Estes. Give them your encouragement and we ' ll win SURE.
The Gir l' s F r ie n d Everybody loo'i!:s at me. Because I am so bright, I show them in a catchy way If they look wrong or right.
The girls will stand for hours To admire their pretty features, Their hair-they put it here, then there; These ladies are funny creatures.
They powder puff and paint, I laugh until I break, Their god. their saint, i s beauty, Tlleir thought, " I s my hair on straight?"

These names hav e not been published in the interests of any class or any cand id ate, •but have b ee n put before the st ud e nt body in the hope that more enth u siasm can be stir r ed up over the present class elections and a more lasting interest in cla ss affairs made evident. It is the privilege, and the duty, of eve ry student in the high schoo l to take an active interest in those things whi c h s o large ly affect the success of the school as a whole. Cl ass activity is on e of th ese im portant factors in our schoo l lif e. Th e student who starts as a freshman to attend c lass meetings an d to make himself generally useful to that or. ganization, will find that the school holds more of joy and l ess of grief for him than if he does nothing more than is demand ed of him by the facult y. A large and active class organization make s · the schoo l more of a place in which to profit and at the same time enjoy ourselves, and less of a mere factory where we g rind out knowledge in the form of lines, angles, and phrases. Think this over, it's true. Begin this w eek to put more "push" into class acti vities. Look up the candidates in your class, make your choice, and then vote.

The program opened with a violin solo by Ruth Kirchstein. She was accompanied by Ruth Bobbitt, who sang to a violin obligato for the encore number . Following the playlet a very unique duet was sung by Eunice and Ruth Hilton. The tune was "My Country ' Tis of Thee," and the words were Latin The program c losed with some announcements by Miss Pound concerning an entertainment to be given by the Latin and histo r y departments and a few words by Mr. Mays in regard to schoo l regulations.

L H S LO SES ITS FIRST GAME
Win s f r om Ames , but Los es F a st Game at I owa C i t y Du rin g E xt r a P la y.
The h e r et ofore undefeated Lincoln High baske t ball t e am came to gri e f on Saturday night at Iowa Ci ty. The game was hotly contested from start to finish, and during the gr ea ter part of t he game Lincoln was in the lead. but in the las t few minut es of pl ay Iowa 'City pu t on a burst of speed and tied up the score. It was at this stage of the contest that time was call e d and t h e teams ret ired for a five minute intermission with the score standing 14 to 14. Iowa City resumed the contest with a substitute pla y ing in the forw a rd position, and with this fresh str e ngth in the ga me t hey put up a hard fight. After seven minut es of play the Iowa team pu t the ball through the rin g and finish e d the contest. It is not the habit of Linco l n High to " crab" about a defea t, but it is a fact that we have several good r ea sons for excusing this accident. The t ea m had been traveling for two d ays , had played a h a rd gam e the night before , and were minus th e se rvic e s of a stonewall regular whose average count is from three to fiv e g oal s p e r ga m e. It is hard to t ak e e ven this small d e f eat after so many victories, bu t we would hate to think of what the score would be if w e were to play Iowa City on a Lincoln fl oo r Th e Friday night g ame re s ult e d in a big victory for Lincoln. The final count was 20 to 6 and the score shows ve ry weir the diff e rence in t he pla ying o f the two teams. The superior team work of the L . H. S . boys was too much for the l ess sp ee d y and accurate Am es team. H av ing split even on th e Iowa trip , it r e mains for the Linc oln High t ea m to l ead Sioux City t o a thorough def e at wh e n they come to Linco l n in two weeks.

The freshmen can certainl y not b e outdone in cl a ss spirit. It i s doubtful whether even the h o tly contested se n ior class meeting c an rival the lively e nthusi a sm of this f a vored class. Th e freshman class meeting was held la st Fr :day in room 26 , and the following officer s were elected: President Vernon Askine Vice-president. Fred Campbell. Secretary, William Wright. Editor Ruth Oberlies. Sergeant-at-Arm s, Elvin Waugh. A splendid program was given George Keith g a ve a solo. and the class i s g lad to welcome this talented freshman into their midst Marian Riss e r gave a sele-ction on the pianu. Freshies don't let your class spirit lag! Keep up your enthusiasm! Wouldn't it be splendid for this whole continent to acknowledge that yours was the model freshman class?

ANNUAL PTOLEMY BANQUET.
One of the biggest events in the history of the Ptolemy Society t ook place last Friday even in g, F€bruary 26 . It was in the form of the " Annual Ptolemy Banquet," in the Roseroom of the Lindell hotel. In all r€spects the banquet was one of the most successful ever held by any society of the 1:.-incoln High Sc hool. Regardless o f t. he snowstorm which raged throughout the e vening, th e event was well atte nded , twenty-eight coup les being present Th e Phlogiston Society was represented by Eugene Rouse, Robert Starrett and Bruce Raymond , while the other debating society. the Ciceronians, was represent e d by Howard S mith, walter Schroeder and Leonard Trest er. Th e a lumni of the Society was repres e nt€d by the "old time !Jigh sc hool sha rks ," as follows: Edwin Gardner, c. LeRoy :Nieis inger , Roy Richards, Roger Jenkins, Thomas Morgan, Herold C ordner and Dwight Thomas Also one of our honorable past sponsors : Miss Jackson, and the present sponsor, JVI r .J. Vv. Hartz e ll.
The room was decorated in the society colors, yellow and blue . The same color effect was carried out in the ta bl e decorations, daffffodils and voilets , while -Dwight Thomas 's hair brought in a Yery pleasin g crimson hu€.
Mr Claire T y ler introduced th e toastmaster of the evening , Mr. C. Le Roy Mei singer. As he was th e founder of th e society , his subject of speech was " Origin and Purpose." He told of the fo rmation of t he society five
years ago and r elated in bri ef the mos t i mpol'tant facts of the society from fi ve years ago to the pr ese nt time_
•i.V[r. Raymond Gere gav e a very interesting talk on the " Pres€nt Ptol e my Societ y.''
Mr. Kenne t h -Mortlock, our president, spoke on " The Futurity of the Society ," in slang. Our next sp ea ker , Edwin Gardner, spoke on "N otes on A lumni. " He r e lat€d how the soc i ety has ta l{ en the leadin g parts in all high school affairs in past years, and hoped to see it always in the front.
Th e famous debater , l\-Jr. L Trester , gave us a · splendid piece of "oratory'' on "The Relation of th e Ciceronians to the Ptolmies."
Mr. E Rouse , the pr es ident of -t h e Phlogistons, also brott g h t forth his debating skill and s pok e on " The Friendship Between Societies."
The last speech of the evening w as by M r . H Cordn e r on "Good F e llowship.' '
•After almost an hour of this said "oratory' ' the floor w a s cleared and dancing was the final number on the program . By request I insert the nam e of Miss Gladys Henderson, as sh e said she w a nt e d h e r nam e in the " Advo c at e "

TAR AND FEATHERS !
Thi,;; combination remedy has been se lected as the only fitting treatment tor those who fail to attend the stat e basketball tournament next w ee k. •And even this wou ld b e l ess than those p e rso ns rightly deserve T h ey should be made to do three weeks extra m at h. in addition. Bu t ignoring the tar and feather idea and this mo u rnful attempt at wit, :\Iulli and the member s of th e team have a right to expect that every member of Linco l n High come out to at l east o ne of th e tourn am e nt games. Th e y hav e worl;: e d the ent ire season w ith the end in view o.f winning this tournament, and unless the school do es its part in giving the team support, they can expect nothing better than defeat. Supp01't do es n' t m ea n to bu y a ticket and then sta.v a way-it means to buy two tickets , go to the game, and root until the other tea m is green in the face. That kind of support will put the winning spirit into the team and will spe ll d e feat fo r t he strong e st teams in the state. \V e ' ve got th e cup, l e t's keep it!

The ocean of High School was ju st his feet,

Wi t h beckon ing arm t h e bold Sop h omo r e waved , Those chi ll in g waves h e had recently braved;

And near the horizon a lum inous speck

The S e nior it was , persevering and brave,
To r each the bright goa l h e did longingly crave!
The goal was the land on the opposite s ide , So far, far a way that the Freshi e ' most cried;
But he shut his eyes tight , and h e drew a long b r e ath,

0 ye class basket ball tournament, with a ll your shin;ng players, as our friend Farley Young. Farley says that be ' s going to play a guard po s ition for the Juniors, for with Ca ptain Oakley Cox as his mat e in the other guard position, the Senior t ea m will have to hustle to get by these human mountains. Cab l e Jackson, that renowned track ath l ete, is to captain th e Seniors who expect to beat their inferiors, the Juniors and then win the final battle fo r the ' c l ass cup. Prospects for the Seniors are not very bright, but here ' s hoping that they succeed in their expectations.
'The Sophomor es of the yea r will try to repeat for th e third time the winning of the silver cu p. Th ey stand a good chance to do th i s for they will ha-ve a good team to ba ck up the class.
We must not think that the final resu l ts rests between the three upper classes, for the Freshmen must be considered.
Thursday night they will show their wares and mayb e a few surprises

" HOW TO S TUD Y ; H OW DO N E B '( FRESHMEN , SOPH OMORES , JUNIORS AND SENIOR S."
1 sha ll not attempt to give any set rules on how to st u dy You bave been told time and time again by y our teachers, some rules alil,e, others different, depending upon the origina li ty of the teachers. One of the most effective ru l es is " Come to room 202 tonight, and I will show you how to study."
But, in spite of ru l es , the majori ty of the students usua ll y studies in t he fo ll owing ways:
T h e Freshman , still somewhat in awe of tbeir teachers and classmates , read th e lesson over thre e or four times until they practica ll y know it by heart, when they go to class. It is almost a c lass in elocution.
Th e Sophomores read a paragraph on each page, leaving out the unintel li g i b l e words, and are fairly ab l e to giv e a br i ef survey of it i n class.
The Junior g l ances over the headings, or the first few lines , g oes to someone and says , " Say , old fe llow , what's the lesson about, anyway? " and between th e m t h ey can usua ll y make a fair bluff , eve n b efor e their English teachers .
The Senior goes to class, picl's ou t a certain sente nce in th e Jesson a nd says t o his conscientious teacher , ' I don't ex a ctl y under;,taud this. I don ' t quite see the relation to this statement. ·wm you p l ease exp l ain it ro me? " and soon the bell rings.

The small crowd of loyal classmen who braved the raging e l ements to witness the annual interclass basketball tournament were amply rewarded for their courage. · The Sophomores, with a burst of speed and figl1t which was quite wonderful (in the eyes of the Seniors) , carried off the high honors for the second time in as many years. In both last year's tournament and the cue held Thursday night, a Senior team has been the "goat."
The first game. played between the l•'reshies and the Sophs, was a big battle .from start to finish, and until the very end the result was in doubt. The line-up for the Freshmen was as follows: Seifert, · rf.; I<'rappia, If.; Curtis, c.; Cypreansen, rg.; Smith, lg., and for the Sophomores, Neal, rf.; Albrecht, If.; And r ews. c . ; Brian. rg.; Bowers , lg. The close guarding that was done by both teams is shown by the 6 to 5 score. At the end of the first half the Freshies were in the lead by 3 to 1, but in the second half the Sophs gave them the same exhibition of revived spirit that was later accorded the Seniors, and registered enough to win . Curtis and Neal played the star rolls for their respective teams
The Junior-Sen i or game was featured by · the presence of Misters Young and Cox, of football fame. This pair of all-state guards made the .Junior team look VERY formidab l ebut you can't always tell by l ooks (No s lam on your playing, gents; it was fine while it lasted.

"Smith" is a wonderful name, and "Smiths ' • are wonderfu l people. From the dar that the famous Captain .Toh1• first set foot upon this land of ours unt il the day that the illustrious " Hod '' first set foot upo n the steps of Lincoln High. the gigantic family of " Smiths'' has been doing great things. " Hod" is a 'Senior , and one of the best. He is always on hand when there is work to be done and he always does his part well. Fo r three yea r s Hod has been a member of the Ciceronian Debating Society and in that organization he has held numerous important offices. This year he was elected to the presidency and it is a certainty that the society will not regret its choice. Among his other achievements, M1· Smith is something of an athlete , having played for two years on the famo u s Ciceronian basketball team Heretofore he has not shone very brightly in this capacity, but if he were so inclined. it is a good guess the " Happy Hod" could help materially when Mulli begins to climb his third big hill.

He does not get as many knocks and bumps as the first team or regular in the games, but h e makes up for it in practice.

Does everybody know that the famous Sophomore team really and truly pushed the Freshies and Juniors into the background in tlH' girls' toumament? I dare say there was no doubt in the minds of the spectators that the Sophomores deserved to win And how unfortunate it was that there are some t hat failed to attend the finals, wh€n these same So phs rolled up a sco r e of 21 points to their opponents' 10 . These girls did not think of running away with victory, and their captain had wa rn ed them of over-confidence. When the r eferee ' s whistle announced the opening of th e finals Sophs we r e as shaky as the Freshmen were in the first game of the tournament. (Hunt up last week's paper for the l ine-up.)
In t he first few minutes of play the Sophomores rushed the ball down thefloor and in a surprisingl y short time had their first bask e t This gave th e Sophs confidence, and they kept the l ead throughout the ganie. The Sophonioreb no means !'a.d a walk-away, the Juniors keeping them busy every minute of p lay. Th fl Sophomore defense at times was brilliant and the activity of the guar<J.g was an im po rtant factor in the game. The Juniors did not l ack in fightin g- spirit , as they played their best game at the end of the second half. The game ended with the score 21- 10 in favor of the Sophomo r es.

TRAV E LOGUES No. 1-Scienc e Hall.
As we approach the Lincoln High School, Ladies and Gentlemen, we are a pproaching on e of the relics of former ages. The most notable of the building is Science Hall. It ha s been ascerta ' ned that this · h a ll was probably erected about 70 B. C. , by the Romans It is probable that room 11 was at one time Curo's st udy and it is certain that th e orations against Cataline were first delivered to newspaper reporters in room 21. The stairways of Science Hall at the time of Caesa r's rule were
used as a favorite means of execution . The manner was ve ry simple The criminal was told to get from room 40 t o room 26 in two minutes and while hurrying down the stairs , around the curve which yo u see on your right, he invariably fell and broke his neck. i\Iany years after Caesar's time Attila, the Hun stabled his hor::;es in the basement of this wonderful old building. It has also be e n discovered that Napoleon was exiled not to St. Helena as the histories give it, but to Science Hall. This cruel deed aroused much feeling aga in st England. Coming nearer to present times, we find that Th e odore Roosev e lt made his fir::;t declaration not to run for the presidency in 1912 within the walls of Science Hall. So you see, Ladies and Gentlemen, what a grand and unique history this old edifice possesses. Drive on, Cabbie.

CITY BEATEN IN HARDEST GAME OF THE SEASON THE RECORD-BEAT SENIORS IN FINALS.
(•Continued f rom page one.)
iug was done by North. The Senior line-up was as fo ll ows: McGlassonHerman, r f.; Jackson , lf.; Silsbee, c ; Ad kin s, rg.; Majors , Jg For the .Juniors: Wate r s , rf.; Bri ght, If. ; Young-Grear. c.; No rth -Co lton , r g.; Cox -Chapin, !g.
The final game , between the Seniors and the Sophomores, was the big game of the even in g and the w i nne r s certainly ea rn ed their virto r y. Throughout the first part of the game the Seniors had things a ll their own way as fa r as the sco ri ng was concerned, a n d it lo oked lik e a clea n Senior victo r y. B ut this was ilnother time when lo cks were deceiving. Alon g toward t he middle of the last half the Sophomores came to life and from th en on t hings were extremel y interesting for everybody concerned. Nobody knows just how it happened , but, somehow or other, the ball s lip ped through th e Sophomore goal. This rather s urprised them and they tr i ed it aga in ,and succeeded. A b out this time their s urprise changed into hope, an d away they went , taking with them the basketball, scores, Re ni ors, a nd evt rything e ls e in sight. The Seniors fo u ght all the w hil e. but they were unable to stop the rush until i t. was too late. when the whistle blew the score stood 10 to 8 in favor of the Sou hmnor es The line-up : Seniors Sophomores.

One of the special features of th e e vening was the reading in public of the "ty pewritt en letter from Mr. C. B.

A ll out to the band concert to be given on Frid ay evening of this week. lt is th e duty of every stu d e nt of L. H. S. to see that this event i s a great success. The band has worked hard and is ready to give a progr a m worth while. Lincoln High School spirit has not lacked in s upporting plays. operas basketball and football games, and certainly should not lack in supporttbis concei-t.
The band, although m e rely a group cf amateur players. has develop e d into a surprisingly efficient music a l organization. You have undoubtedly heard us on previous and can · judge for yourself the · eEellence of our work. · We are going to present a program which will be of. such character that you cannot afford to mis s it, and after all the bills are paid the money remaining will be used for the purpose of increasing our instrumentation. But why say more ·concerning th e concert since you know what i s coming and that you MUST b e there. The tickets are twenty-five ce nts (25c) each; a very nomina l sum for such a stun€ndous production. EVERYBODY OUT!

• Several Lincoln high school graduates came to us after g raduation , and prepared for teaching Commercial and Shorthand in high schools, and are getting salaries from $75 to $100 a month. Graduates of other high schools have done the same.
Even University Graduates find it worth their w hile to prepare with us for Commercial teaching. We placed two during the month of .January, and others are getting ready for Septem b er. · If others have profited by this course , is it not worth your while to investigate what we offer in our Normal Course for Commercial Teachers?

l\Iounting the p l atform as if it were a scaffo l d, the speaker stands staring at his audience with eyes glar in g lil•e the noonday sun, his emotion apparently as unmovable as a pyramid, and his face giving no more expression than a sphinx, but slowly as the hour hand of a midnight -clock he raises and stretches forth his great arm, lik e the bough of a g reat oak tree, and with a sudden but slight motion of hi s lips, a sound begins to flow as gentle as the r i pple of a spring ec hoing on its own mossy banks.
His face co l ors as does the western sky at sunset; his long, s haggy hair begins to shake as the boughs of a little pine standing on the hilltop during a r aging storm, and his words b eg in to gush forth as the water of the old faithful Geiser, flowing over the precipice of hi s lips 1like t'he rushing N i agara., and with tongu e sweepi ng like Halley 's comet, h e resumes his tactics with renewed e nergy, beating the air with his great brawny arms with the force of the German K ru pp gun, stamping the floor with the effect of a pile driver, and with chest expanded , as though filled w ith the air of a coupl e of Zephellains, with the velocity of a Kansas cyclone , he finally ex pectorates the bst w ord of his Water lo oic statement (Votes for w omen), and takes his seat.

TO THE TEAM
basketball team. The members of the team have brought honor to old Lincoln High, and we are proud of them The schedule this year was unusually hard and long, and wa s topped off by the heavy strain of the t ournament, yet , with that same old fight that won for them la st year, and that same " pep " that lit erally "made" our football team , the fellows drove their way th rou gh the opposition and , in the end, came out the undisputed c hampions of the state This does not mean that the feat was an easy one- it was not. Every game on th e schedule was hard fought to the finish and Lincoln came out ahead only beca us e of their Ruper ior playing ability.
To y ou , Team , this is s ue is dedicated.

\Vork wi ll soon begin on the Senior Number of the Advocate. This is a big undertaking and re · SEN lOR quires a great deal of PICTURES preparation long before the Special is to be published One of the things that must b e tak e n care of early is that of having the Senior pictures tal,en and the plateR made If this year's Special is to be the record-breaker that we intend it to be, in both size and quality. the bulk of thi s work must be done b efor·e the la s t weeks of school. So you . Seniors , send in your pictures <>a rly so that we Can get a head start 011 our job. Dole is the offi.cial class photographer. Go early and avoid the rus h.
You h a ve read of "story contests" in every kind of a sheet from a "Cornshucks .Journal" to a Sunday "K E IN E sc hool paper, but in spite of NAME" the commonness of the idea , we cannot resist the t e mptation of introducin g one of th ese "s tor y contests" into the L. H S. Advocate. But, of -course, THIS on e will be unusually " unique and inte restin g." (Old stuff .)
This is how it will be don e: Th e complete story will conta in s ix chapters , to be published throughout six s uccessiv e weeks The contest will s tart next week and from the chapters submitted, the on e which is considered -best in poin £ of popular interest will be printed in next week's paper as Chapter I of " Keine Name ." (Ask the German student what thi s name means . ) A single chapter must not exceed two written pages of history pap e r and m u st deal with the same main characte r s as the preceding chapters. In order to keep up th e int e rest from week to week, each chap · te r should have rapid action and a very stron g climax. The chapters considered second best will be sa ved for future publication
Contributions for one week must b e in the Advocate box by Friday evening of the we e k before. Let's ha v e some hot competition for Chapter I. whos e nam e will head the li st?

TO THE DRAGGERS
You have all had an opportunity to subscr ibe to the Advocate. To thos e who accepted the opportunity we have nothing to say; we're g lad you did and we hope that you feel the same way about it. But to t hose who threw away that first chance to boost the school , and who are now borrowing their n e ighbor's pap e r every Tuesd ay , we ask you once more to come ac ross with a guarantee that you a re still a rea.l student of L H S. You are NOT a real student if you do not do the things that are expected of yuu. It will cost you twenty-five c e nt s to put yourself right with your fellow students and with th e Advocate staff. We don ' t NEED your subscript!onwe have ov e r nine hundred now-but we would like to prove to ourselves that the r e are a fewer number of " quitters'' in th e sc hool than the present fi gures show there t o be.

ELEG Y
W ritt en i n t he Audi tori u m, ni n th p eriod.
The gong is struck which e nd s another day , Belated footsteps ec ho in the halls . The offic e f or ce mak es haste to get away, But I must stay witbin, for duty call s.
The building i s deserted for the night , Unbroken s il ence reigns without, within,
Save wh en the sound of song and laughter light Is faint l y wafted downward f rom the gym.
Save where in yonder wall. a saf e r et r eat , Fat Mr. :Mou se does to his wife complain
Of foolish youths who. overfond of s weet , Bring lunch to school which g iv es him dreadful pajn.
Each ni c he and corner of the ancient hall
I s fill e d with memories of student lore--
Diana's mended arm, the storied wall. The platform stained with artificial gore.
Th e c rackin g plaster brav e l y papered o'er,
A nd every broken seat a s tor y tells
Of Lincoln spirit, which, in times of yore, Essayed to rais e the roof with high school yells.
Th e time will come at no far distant day,
\Vhen Lincoln will a fitter temple find;
Lea ve the old home to moulder and d ecay, " Nor cast one longin g, lingering· look ·behind ."
Perhaps when marching out in glad array,
Th e students bid fa rew e ll with jest and limgh ,
Some on e mor e thoughtful than th e r est will stay
To sc ribbl e on the wall this e p ita ph :
"Wha t eve r d e stin y this room befalls , \Vhat us e or misuse co m es to be h e r lot,
Th e very air within these c hap e l walls
Echoes with m e mori es n e'er to b e fo rgot
" It sheltered Lincoln's youth fo r m a n y a year, Until the sc hool board, s low to co mpr e b e nd -
Although the cost of m aso nry was d ea r, Gave all t h ey had , and all that folks would l e nd.
" Son of old Lincolu High , if such you be , \Vho have beheld her new-built tem· p le shine, Enter, and let your fan cy, roamiug free , R ecall the good o ld d ays of Auld Lang Syn e:" --Ge n ev ie Freeman.

ON " THE IDLER ' S CHANT "
Of all refrains that greet the ea r There's one that "ge ts your goat"; It a lways seems to reoccur
In a certai n c lass's throat s.
It 's h ea rd at morning, noon and night: , I think, in eve ry clime-
The bu sy -body's song of woe.
"Ca n 't do it, hav e n't t ime. "
Bnt then, he talk s to you on war And other kindred ills; He tells you of his kith and ldn, Their sickness and the i r pills. He "s piel s" a pretty line of ta l k , Opinions. thoughts. and views;
But when he 's a s k e d to help a bit H e's som e thing e l se to do
He knows what ' s wrong with High School rules.
'With student management , But always he's be hind the tim es In r e ndering his c omp l aint.
Or if the Advocate ne e ds his help , Cartoons, or prose , o r rhym e.
He ' d "s ur e b e glad to help you out," But " hasn ' t got the time."
T'Jl g rant it's often v e ry true
That one can't do it a l l.
But then, so me how it seems lo m e,
The most hav e missed the call
To big id eas , and broader views, And read y open minds
Through what a narrow life w e " s luff! And attribute it to " Tim e' " --Exc hang e.

This wa s no t a hard game, although the Wilber team played a scrappy game The y were far outclassed and Linco l n were not forced to extend themse l ves to any great extent. Morris, Smith. Albrecht and Schmidt divided the honors by throwing one field goal each. In the second half Bright an d R. Smith were sent in to relieve the first team men Milo Beck played the best game for the Wilber team , scorin g all of th e ir f our points.

Expectant we r e we in th e Gym that d ay , As we l onged fo r the ga me to b eg in, While we paced to and f ro, and g lan ce d a t the f o e , Y.le hop ed that th e Freshies would win.
The Freshman team wo r e ribbon s green
Upo n each brilliant head.
" A pl e asa nt s ight in the Gy m t h at night
For a c ro wd so s m a ll ," 'tis said
The whistle blew, an d then we knew That t h e longed for time had co me ; " Ah! Here i s our c h ance , j ust see u s pra n ce!"
And we drea m ed that the ga m e was won
\V e dream e d but a mo m e nt, but a ll too long; The ba ll in t h e basket flew , And , 'ro us ed by the cheers , lhat bea t our e ars , We kn ew that th e Sophs scored two.
Th e half wore on , the Sophomores stron g
Had r egi ste r ed many a score; While t ho se of the green , w ith luck , most ext r e m e , Had fumbled o'er and o ' er.
The whist l e blew, the half was thru.
And w h en it blew aga i n , Our captain brave , w ith fa c e most g rave , Sa id , " Acquit you r se l ve s like men "
Determined were we in the Gym that day
As we awaited th e coming foe. Dreams belonged to the past. Oh, the ball comes at l ast! \V e've scored! "Fif teen rah s f or Jo !"
The Sophie team had sco r es sixteen , A valiant s ix were th ey; The Freshie team h ad sco r es fifteen; Ah , 'twas an exc itin g f r a y .
The game we nt on, the Sophomo r es strong , Had tallied three points more \Vhen th e whistle b l ew , and the game wa s thru , The Sophs had the leading score.
Sad hea r te d were we i n the Gym that night,
And we s h e d f ull many a tear while we bandaged the bruised , conso l e d the misused, \Ve resolved to co nqu er next year

ODE TO THE SOPHOMORES
Who a r e those folks with minds s o keen , Who forward look, with hope se r e ne , To Nineteen Hundred Seventeen? Th ey' re Sophomores!
Who are t hos e te a ms that never fall , But w hom a ll m e n that know must call Th e champions at b as ketball ? They're Sophomores!
Who are those ac tiv e, sturdy girls, Whose b anne r H e l e n Hilt unfurl s, And at t h e world defiance hurls? They 're Sophomores!
Who a r e those boys s o trim and ne at, who n eve r yet ha ve met def ea t, That Brian l eads to triumph s sweet? Th ey're Sophomores!
An d who are they , o ' er all the r est, T h at L H S. must call th e b es t?
I see the answer you have guessed : They ' re Sophomores!

THE SUBS
One branc h of the baske tball team that is little heard of is the sub squadron. Their duty is to sail in and play in case some one on the first squaa obtains a chipped elbow or a "charleyhorse." Like firemen, they must always be ready to act. They do not have the opportunities, however, of recreation, such as playing checkers, that the firemen have, but their time in waiting is spent anxiously. On ve r y few occasions have they been used in the games this year. Their good work was done in practice, where at times they mussed things up considerably for the first team. At the rate they have improved of late this bunch ought to be in fine fettle for next season, which is very encoiu·aging for the supporters of the Linco l n High basketball team. The flowery language in which these men should be praised for the i r p-e rseverance and antagonism could onl y be used by a h i gh-class botanist (A high-c l ass Sophomore might do it.) HAGER.

EVERYBODY DID IT
Johnny made a pledge,
A little pledge made he-
To quit his pesky sluffing
A mode l student be-
Instead of acting foo li sh, He ' d waste his time no more In visiting the Orpheum
Or in the Hambu r g store.
John ' s mother cheered him on
His father shook his hand-
To see his son a student
Aga i n wou ld sure be grand
Back he came to co ll ege, With every good in t ent-
A l as! We need must weep, So sad astray he went.
First it was the girl, \Vith whom he had a dateNext it was the footlights
Which kept him out so l ate. The U -slips pledge was smashed
All into smithereens,
A l ong with Johnny's promiseAnd father's fondest dreamsToo bad:_too bad - we did the same
In many years gone past.
Beyond one wee short week
No U-slips p l edge can last

Kaiser Schmidt - and Blondy Hager wer€ just thinking of waking up Tea Morris and "Ikain't" Smith came in · about fifteen minutes before the game, both threatening to harm the next coach that compelled them to rise so early Oakdal€ had already dressed and was waiting to take Lincoln on for a beating. One look at the Oakdal e players was sufficient to see that they had at least two men who were equal in age to Grandpa Lutes of Omaha fame.
This didn't seem to aff€ct Lincoln any ,for they were out for big game. F irs t Ha lf
Nothing in particular; just plain keep-away Morris and E. Adams for Oakda l e each succeeded in throwing three free goals. M Smith had not awakened from his peaceful slumber.

IMPORTANT LETTE R TO ' LINCOLN HIGH STUDENTS
St i rring Miss i ve from " Track Summit"
Outlines the Duties of L. H S " C l imbers "
During the past week the ma il s have b r ought to the office of the Advocate a letter of u nusua l interest and i mportance to the stu.dents of the L i ncoln High School. The message co m es f r om a place that has not been exp lored by L. H. S scouts since the year 190ii. However, p lans are already on foot to make the j ourney again this year, and this letter may lend some encouragement. It is as follows:
Burea u of Observation, Track Summit, Mulli Range. Marc h 25, 1915. To the Students of L H. S.: Track Summ it is the highest of all t h e high points in Mu lli Range . From our position here we can see all that happens for m il es and miles a r ound; we can see down into the va ll eys and over the other peaks and summits as far as the eye can reac h. One day last fa ll we chanced t o b e l ooking over in the direction of th e Football footh ill s and we observed someth i ng t h at immediately aroused our cu r iosity. It was a tiny speck , so far away that we could ha r d ly distinguish it from the trees and rocks of the mountain side. Still, we cou ld se e that the object moved, and we began to watch it more ciQse l y. Day after day the being-for we had found it to be a li v i ng creature-trudged on , and every day it -climbed c l oser and c loser to the s u mmit of Football Peak. Finally one day as we l ooked, we saw a strange sight. From the other sid e of the peak there came a sing le man. He had red hair. On his sweater h e wo r e a huge "L" and in his hand he car r ied a great penant tvhich bore the emblem of your school. That night we watc h ed him as he jogged eas il y dow n i nto the valley, bu r the next morn i ng w hen we awok e we were s u rprisod to see. not the climber we harl see n the night before , b ut a diffe r ent one This one was short and stocki l y built, and climbed with a slight l imp. \Ve il we watch ed him, too. He had a r ather hard t i me of it the first part of the climb, but at no time d i d he receive any very serioUF- set-back.

A most successful impromptu meeting was held in room 26 la st Wednesday afternoon at seventh. The room was packed , about 63 people being pre sent , and it was with diffi culty that the vice pr eside nt (I don't know how to spell her name), wended her way to the desk. 0ur revered and respected pr e sident, Farris Atkinson , took his suit case and Latin grammar and went to -New York l ast week.

ASSEMBLY
(Written in the style of Addison.)
1 had the greatest of p l easure to b e able to be present at o ne of those morning assemblies of Lincoln High SchooL As I entered the Auditorium - I was a trifle late-! was amazed yet delighted at the view before me All the students were in th e ir s eat s li s te ning respectfully and attentivel y to a speaker who was addressing them on t he subject "Ga rdening. " Not a sound , other than those of approval and appreciation , could be heard in the audience. The students wer e le a ning forward in their seats, eager to catch ea ch idea expressed by the speaker. To me the - sight was most pleasing ; chiefly, pe r haps , becaus e I could rea lize that th e pupils did not possess

THOSE GIRLS
(B :y a Boy.)
It' s just a new stunt that "C hick " is putt i ng over this tim e- t hi s having a boy write up the gir l s ' notes. (And it isn't going to wo r k either , "Chick. " I fee l it in my bones right now.)
I went up ther e to the Gym one afternoon last week right after sixth to ask Miss Richards if anything speci a l had been happening, and, believe me I never would have had the courage to go in if one of the brave boys hadn ' t been a l ong Anyway, it seems that they have a seventh period c l ass and there are a bout fifty, more or l ess, in it It was on l y with the utmost danger that I made my way to M i ss Richards ' office. One gir l (sbe was mak i ng a diving tackle after a ball) collided with me and to l d me to "Get out of t he way." I would g l ad l y have faded immediately from the very fac e of the earth. But I'm supposed to tell what's been happening up there. Oh! I l earned l ots of th i ngs. but will some kind pe r son p l ease exp l a in i t all to me. Now I l earned that Abie had "another one "; that the pianist , Mi ss Loughridge , had l eft ; that th e eighth period dancing c l ass had not bad a meeting for some time; that in t he new building the gym will have mirrors all around it ; that somebody had the meas l es; that "punch ball " was the game of the hour (1 wasn't able to comprehend i ts int r icacies) ; that the sixth period class had "pep" to loan; that no middies would be worn this sp r ing. I l earned a heap more, but what caught my a ttention the minute I entered Miss Richards' office (there ' s an awfully nice couch in there), were the pictures of the girls' basketball teams. Say, they ' ru g re at ! , I advise every member ol' the schoo l to go and take a l ook at them , but NOT RIGHT AFTER SIXTH

Although fur hats, overcoats , " nonsldds." and numerous other cumbersome articles of wearing TEN N 1s apparel, are still in vogue, TALK it is none to soon to begin a little " tenni s talk. " At t.he present time it would be ne cessary for the tennis player to pl a y very close to the net in order that he migh t be safe from d r owning, but "e ' er ntan y weeks have flitted o'er onr heaC.S," the courts east of the "Ad" will be ready for tillage and THEN" My serve!

There has been some talk of reorganizing the L. H S. Tennis Club this year and of having several dual m ee ts-probably with Omaha and Beatrice This wou l d be a very fitting display of L. H. S "pep" and we can s ee no reason why, a,fter a free -for-all J>reliminary t ournament, and the inter- · c lass tournament , a team cou l d not be selected that wou l d put up a stiff argument against any school in the s tate. It's ea r ly yet, but hegin to talk a little tennis on the side. Mulli says he's strong for the idea of having a r eg ular team.

Now other repres entatives of Lincoln High perform before meagre audiences of indifferent · students, who s e presence has been bought by an excuse for sixth pe r iod.
Now, fellows , is this a square dea l '? These debatet s have labored long a n d faithf ull y at their dreary task, and the support of the school is due them.
They represent the school just as tru l y as the red-sweatered huskies of the gridiroll and gym floor.
A victory on the debating platform brings full y as much honor to a school a:< any other triumph
Now, you fellows that take pride in boosting the school, get out and boost for the debaters If you lead, tile rest will follow. It's up to you. What are you g oing to do about it?

Dear Mr. Editor :
Some time ago I wrote y ou. a personal letter relative to the editing of the Advocate. You followed my worthy advice so c l osely that I am {)aused to believe that truly great minds do run in the same channel.
Dear Editor, this evening my occasion of writing you is not in any way connected with your editoria l sh i p, but I wr i te to you as a friend, on a subject that has long been on my mind and w h ich is so pressing that I am utter l y unab l e to longer withhold it from you.
It is a subject I could only in extreme circumstances tell to m y be st friend , as friends are sometimes untrue, and because of the nature of the subject It has for many hours and days troubled me exceedingly; yes, many sleepless nights have I s pent because of the uncertainty of it. Th i s has been a subject that has broken rnany hearts; yes , torn and rent happy homes; blood has been shed, and even today , dear Editor, the greater part of the world is at war over a question of like nature, so I implore tl.at you weigh well the question befOie you decide, as it i s my ultimate purpose to abide by your wise judgment Remember the nation's we lthink of my fat e , and, l as tly , r euember how your own future is to b e €ffected by your answer
With deathlike anxiety, I first imphre your secrec y, and then I ventur e to <1sk your honest and frank op inion on •his subj e ct-whi c ll is the greatest, " you or I? "
Mo, t sincerely y ours , SEMPER LA B ORAVI.

Chapter I. The Inheritance
l t was .the d ay after the Hon. Amos J. Hardtack. vice p r esident of the United Ce lluloid Co ll ar Factory, had been laid away in the rich loam of Pepper Hill cemetery that a certain young man· in a worn blue su it and a particular pointed nos e presented himself at numb e r thirteen \Vumpus avenue
Numbe r thirteen was a dirty, co ld hous e with four damp wall::; a nd two great chimneys; a few divided windows were scattered across its grim visage, which helped the house to present a far from pleasing appearance. Th e young man knocked at a vau l tlik e door and was adm itted by a stern servant in r ed livery, who ushered him into a la rge, dull room.
"M r. William Snltz , I suppose? " asked the servant.
" Yes, s i r And this is the hm1se of the Amos Hard tack?" the Yo ung man inquired It was. He was Nephew \Villi e "Well, willie," said the se rva nt. "you can read the w ill for yourse lf. He leaves his fortune to his wa r d ,
Anna , and to you, his only re lation , the contents of an old chest."
· Will ie read the will twice and was convinced. He demanded the chest. Th e servant retired to bring the inheritan ce, while Willie sat before a small fire, thinking of pretty Ann. The servant entered with the chest.
After finding the key, the chest was opened and its contents taken out one by one and inSJJec ted. At las t they came to the bottom. The servant pressed a con·cea]ed spring and a l i d opened, showing a false bottom a nd a greasy, yellow package laying within.
But a third person, unknown to the occupants of the room stood peering in at the French window It was a myste riou s ;i ndivid u al with a yellow goatee, and he w atched every move. \Villi e grahbect up the package and within discovered a ru de map. H i s quick eye saw in a second that it was--
