LI NCOLN H IGH SC H O OL'S NE W PALACE OF LEARNI NG
After many long years of waiting, Lincoln High School occupies this beautiful building. It was to have been finished last fall, but the contractor did not know what a task it would be to build such a fine school as Lincoln High.
Lincoln always did have a High School to be proud of, and now ·it has a High School building besides, and very proud it should be.
One does not often see a high school finished in marble, with two gymnasiums, a swimming pool, tile floors and countless other advantages.
In this new building there are more than 100 rooms, if you don't believe it, count them. The auditorium , which many would take for a magnif· icent new theatre, will seat almost 1,500, and is so built that: even the weakest voiced football player may be heard from any seat.
Each student will have his own private locker this year, and there is room enough in each one to stuff a couple of Freshmen.
There are also a couple of lunch rooms, so that those who cannot go home and get their lunch in twenty minutes, will have a convenient place for eating it at school.
The Freshmen should glory in the fact that they are the first Freshies in the new building. The Sophomores will boast of having the honor of making life unpleasant for the first Freshmen in Lincoln High's new home.
The Juniors will doubtless claim the distinction of being the best class to enter our palace, and judging from their former activities, they sh o w a good chance to prove their claim. The Seniors, of course, will never cease telling of the time when they will graduate with honors as the first class to leave the best High School building Lincoln has ever seen.
But all the classes will join in making the niterior of Lincoln High School as good as the exterior, and the opening of the new building will mark the opening of a new era in the histor of our School.
FOOTBALL
A meeting of football candidates was held Monday afternoon. There was a prety good attendance and much hopeful spirit was in evidence for the coming season.
S'peeches were made by our new r;oach, Mr. Greenstreet, Farley Young, our captain, and Mr. Marsha l l.
The boys were instructed as to the care of themselves during the season, and informed of the arrangements for their .suits. ·
Of course, there could have been more fellows · out and we hope to see more of the Freshmen out. Don't be afraid to try, you can try anything at least once. If you can't make the first team, you still have a chance for the second. If you can't make the second team, get out and run around anyway. It will do yo good.
The Lunch Ho ur All students will be obliged to lunch in the building. The periods will be as follows: Section A, about onethird of the students, will begin at 11: 30 o'clock. At 11: 35 o'clock this section will begin their fourth class period. Section B, will lunch at 11: 55 o'clock. This section will have a twenty minute study period before the lunch period and another twenty minute study period following the lunch. Section C, will begin lunch at 12: 20 o'clock, following their fourth period class. All students may purchase a part or the whole of their lunch at the building, or they may bring the entire lunch from home. In any case they will eat in the lunch room. The member.s of the band and orchestra will eat with Section A and report for fourth period for practice.
The lockers will be assigned to students on Thursday by teachers in charge of home rooms. There will be no charge for locker rent, each student will have an independent locker without a lock. Those desiring to do so may purchase a lock of their own place it on the locker assigned.
Students in passing up and down stairs will please observe the following directions: Start up on the right side and continue by the same stairway. Start down on the left side and continue by the same stairway.

Ent e red as second-class matter , January 8, 1913, at the postoffice at Lin c oln, N e braska under the Act of March 3, 1879. '
Well, we have started another year of school and the outlook seems promising. Although we have lost a splendid class since we were last in session, we have a brand new crop of Freshmen to make up for it.
Now it is up to the upper-classmen to show the Freshies what Lincoln High is made of and to teach them the ideals of the school. Also the Freshies must keep their eyes open and get into the game for all they are worth.
It would be a shame to let our studies get behind and our grades low in such a building as we are now in. Its beauty would mock us. Now , let's all get together and push for L. H. S.
The people of Lincoln, who gave us this new building, are expecting great things of us, and let's not disappoint them.

YE SADDE TAYLE OF YE YOUNGE FRESH IE
Once upon a Tyme there dwelt in ye citie of Lincoln a Younge Childe. Ye Childe was scarce tenne yeares of age and in sooth was very beautiful. Hys golden haire was longe and curlie, and hys dympled cheeks were pynk and softe.
One daye ye Younge Ladde approached hys loving Papa.
"Oh, Father," quoth he, "Fayne would I attend ye Beautifulle Hye Skule for ye hye purpose of aquirying more knowledge than thatte whych I now possess."
Ye fond Papa satte in brooding silence for manie minutes. He lyttle cared to have hys sonne, of tender yeares, asociate with ye ruff boyes of ye Hye Skule. He feared lest they shoulde taunt hym and hurt ye poore lyttle fellow's feelings and cause hym to weep, with thare ruff raillerie.
However, he answered in a shaking voice, "Mine sonne, if thou really soe desireth, soe shall it be. But lend me thine ear for an moment."
"At ye Hye Slkule are ruff boyes, who will chide thee and laff at thee and make thee feel foolish as ye Samuel Hill. Butte if thou art an brave ladde thou wilt smyle thare jeers into nothingness.
Harde taskswill be assigned to thee, but thou shalt work diligentlie and thy teachers will praise thee for thy splendid progresse. Then thou shalt laff at ye ruff boys and say, 'Go to ye swine thou sluggards, for I have received one hundred in mine Ancient Hislorie.'"
"Yea, varilie, it shall be soe," saide ye Childe in an boastful tone. "My name shalt become famous, and I shalt stand hye with ye Principal, Professor Mays."
But ye Childe lyttle recked of ye terrors ye nexte day held in store for hym. That night M.e slept ye dreamless sleep whych comes on1ie to ye most innocent.
On ye morning of ye nexte day ye Younge Cbilde arose with ye sunne, and donned hys best suit of pynk linen. Hys mama brushed hys curlie haire and washed hys face till it shone with ye polish. Then having eaten hys Grape-Nuts he took hys papa by ye hand and started gailie for ye New Hye Skule.

" Here what do you mean by throwing those trunks about" like that?"

RAIN INTERFERES WITH THE KITCHEN SHOWER FRIDAY NIGHT.
Only a Few Braved the Storm On account of ;the aqueous substance in the the kitchen showed on Friday night was very poorly attended. Those who did ven· ture out were very · well soaked for their pains. However, a few of the more daring of the ushers, who were blessed with musical ability, gave an impromptu program. This consisted of high class grand opera selections such as "Ch opsticks " and "Dublin Bay."
There were seven or eight tables at the entrance on which were arranged articles which are fior use in the kitchen and cafeteria. These sold for various prices from 25 cents to $2. Quite a number of articles were bought and placed in the cafeteria by the visitors.
Mr. Mays appeared about nine o'clock, and took down the names of the faithful ones, ·and then gave them a treat by taking them into his pri· vate office and explaining the various points of interest therein.
A few folks began to leave about eight thirty, and the "crowd" drifted slowly away, until about ten o'clock, when only the officials were left.
Besid€s ushers, there were perhaps twenty people, who could not over· come their curiosity so far as to stay at home.
A fine program was planned for that evening, but only one of the performers was able to get to the high school, so it was planned to have a combined program Saturday evening.
New Cash Register for Vice-Principal's Room.
The National Cash Register company has placed a sample register in the office of the vice-principal.
T his will enable Mr. Marshall to transact the business of the school quicker and with absolute accuracy.
The machine is a nice large one, and shows up beautifully. It will be quite a novelty to pay fines now.
Practical Economy.
He-"But why don't you come with me and pick out the ring?"
She-"I'm afraid we can't afford to do that."
Little Molly had •been very trying all day. That evening, when her gr-Own-up sister was putting her to bed, she said she hoped the child would be a better girl tomorrow, and not make everybody unhappy with her naughty temper; Molly in silence, thought hard for a few moments, and then said wisely: '
"Yes, when it's me it's temper; when it's you it's nerves."
THE NEW COACH.
The gentleman whose face appears above is .the one who will lead our football team to victory this year.
Mr. Greenstreet took up his residence in Lincoln about a month ago, and is dividing his time between us and the Y. M. C. A., where he is physical director.
Mr. Greenstreet got his football ex· perience following the leather around the campus at DePauw university , where he played righ half. Later he taught mathematics and coached ath· letics for one year in Colorado and two years in Washington state.
With us he will teach two periods of math. and coach our athletics.
Our coach has high hopes for the season. and with the material on hand there are no doubts about his turning out a winning team.
Football Squad Forced to Move.
A traveling show which camped on our athletic field this summer made such ruts and holes that it was positively dangerous to try to have football practice there. The squal is now practicing on the field at enth and A. However, there are '' men plowing up the ruts and holes and practice will probably be resumed on our own grounds this week.
Oue Caution.
"B obby, " inquired the mother, "did you wash your face before the music teacher same?"
"Yes'ni."
"And your hands?"
"Y es'm."
"A nd your ears?"
"Well, ma." said Bobby, judicially "I washed the one that would be next to her."
KITCHEN SHOWER SATURDAY NIGHT QUITE A SUCCESS
Splendid Program Given.
The attendance at the kitchen showed Saturday night quite made up for the night before. There were autos parked along the street for a block, and the traction company's cars also had a hand in conveying Lincoln folks to the festivities.
Kitchen and cafeteria equipment was in evidence on the tables as on the night before, and the visitors bought with a will.
Articles were purchased all the way from pan scrape rs and potato mashers at twenty-five cents, to shares in the patent dish washer at five dollars. A steady stream of people passed from the tables at the entrance to the cafeteria, and by the time the program started the tables were well cleared. A l though the committee took in two hundred and seventy-seven dollars, there were still some things that were not placed upon the tables.
The visitors were shown about the building by numerous ushers, and all showed great satisfaction in the new edifice.
There is still a lot of equipment that is not in place as yet, and some of the rooms seemed quite bare.
About the last of October will be the "grand opening," as by that time all equipment will probably be in place.
The auditorium was well filled when the program started, and those who were late in beginning the rounds of the building were forced to take seats in the upper balcony when they arrived.
The program given was exceptionally good, and L. H. S. talent was again shown up to great advantage.
Besides the Lincoln high students which contributed to the program there were Dr. W. G. Putney, Miss Edith Robbins and Miss Louise Zumwinkel, all who added entertaining features.
On the front page of the programs was a picture of the high school build· ing. On the middle pages was the floor plan, with the numbers of the rooms and the subject taught in each. Then on the back was the program given in the auditorium, which was as follows: Reading-"Where the Flag Is Full of Stars," Dr. W. G. Putney. Contralto Solo-"Because," D. Hardelot; Doris Cole. Violin Solo-"Traume der Scenerin" Labitzky; Louis Snader. ' Tenor Solo-"The Louden Tree," Schubert; George Lessenhop.
"My Love Is Like a Red, Red Rose," Fiesa; "Tea rs -:-I dle Tears," from Tennyson; "O Swallow FlySouth, " Whelpley; Miss Edith LQcile Robbins
"By the Sea," Schubert-Liszt; "Bird· Lings," Grieg; Waltz, Op. 34, Chopin; Miss Louise Zumwinkel.
THE SENIQRS
It surely does seem strange to talk a.bout the "Seniors" when all last year it was "Juniors." The regular meeting was called to order in room 30 6 by Pres. Bjorkman, and after handkerchiefs were loaned to the four outca•sts who are unfortunate to have 28 credits, and so be in the "A " section, nominations followed, and Sec. Burgess had an imposing array of names to take to the office. No more business so the meeting promptly adjourned.
It ' s a perfectly good new year that we have before us now, and a perfe.ctly good new building. The faculty has kindly consented to forget our past reputation so we are going to make a record that will be worth y of the first cla•ss to graduate from this bui1ding. We're going to have lots of fun and im'portant events this year and we all want to be in on it so every one come alone and " hit the sawdust trail."

" What does this mean? " asked the employer " I thought you w e re a man who never got tired? " '
" I don't ," calml y responded t h e tramp. "This doesn ' t tire me. "-'Sacr e d Hear t Review

The attorneys for the prosecution and defonse had been allowed fifteen minutes each to argue the case. The attorney for the defense had commenced his arguments with an allu· sion to the old swimming hole of his boyhood days. He told in flowery oratory of the balmy air, the siri.ging birds , the joy of youth, the delights of the cool water-
And in the midst of it he was interrupted by the drawling voce of the judge.
"Come out, Chauncey," he said, "and put on your clothes. Your fifteen min· utes are up."
Hard Luck.
He was a Canadian and he wore a corporal's stripes. There he sat snugly in as heltered part of his trench in that little corner of Belgium and played poker with a quartet of his comrades. Luck was against him. He bad lost about everything he had to when at the very height of the game-just after the dealer had done his best and worst-a shell came through the roof of the shelter, passed between the Canadian's long, lean legs, (luckily without hitting him,' and bried itself harmlessly in the soft earth. The others of the party leapt up in not inexcusab le haste and fled from the place, but the Canadian did not move.
The disturbance brought the company commander on the run.
"Whats up?" says he.
"Well, sir," says the Canadian, "that there shell drops in on us and when it don't explode at once I judge it is pretty safe not to go off at all. So I just set where I am. The curst luck of it is that I've been playing away here all mornin' drawin' rotten cards and losin' my shirt, and here just as I holds the first four of a kind that's gladdened my two eyes since

Fifty fellows o.ut for football. We sure are going to have a swell tea.m When fifty fellows line up behind a good coach, and half a dozen of the old squad, it spells success. None of the good old , Lincoln men was left in the old building.

MOTT O ES.
Have you a motto? Not particularly a piece of cardboard with something printed on it, •but a resolution printed on your m.ind and heart. 1Something that you try to bring out in all your work, that will make it better.
You may have a motto and not know it, but it might be better if you did. If you haven ' t a motto , get one; it'll help you a lot.
In his speech here this week, " Billy " Sunday dwelt on a phrase that would make a splendid motto. It was " Be a !Man " There is a lot to that phrase
If you take that for a motto, and live up to it ' you ' ll surprise yourself. 'It would :be nice for all of us to have our mottos in our note-books as frequent reminders.

1 WEL COME FRESHIES!
When a student has la'bored sufficiently hard and faithfully to accumulate the sum total of eight credits, he assumes that it is his inalienable right to pick on the freshie •s. But listen , freshie, to a word of hope Every great man was a freshie once. The greats and near-greats of our school were at one remote and forgotten time , humble and inoffensive ( ?) freshies. , Our school needs the new iblood that the freshmen bring in. We all love to tea se them , and draw funny cartoons about them, but we can '•t get along without them. It is the freshmen of this ear who will hold up the honor of Lincoln High in ye&.r.s to come. So here ' s a hearty welcome for the freshies with a fervent hope that the in-coming class will have as much ability as that which has just left us.

Just think, how utterly awful it would be if Omaha, mere Omaha, whom we trimmed last year to the tune of 36 to 0, would take that cheri,shed championship away . We have that championship, so let''s kepe it. We can trim Omaha or any other team if we just think so. "We have done it before, we can do it once more" (and then some).

P'ATR ONIZE OUR , ADVERTISERS patronize our adverti.sers-it means a bigger and better Advocate· for you . The twenty-five cents subscription price, would scarcely pay the expenses of getting out one issue. It is the advertisements which make it pos•sible for us to have the Advocate as it is today. lf we could double the number of .advertisements, it would mean that, with reading material furnished by the students, it would be possible to double the size of the paper; BUT, merchants are not going to advertise, if it does not mean an increose in trade for them They are not going to pay for an ad. which does them no good. Of coul"se, it is not possible for each student to patronize all the advertisers all the time, and it is not asked, but it is to your own interest, if you care a!bout a bigger and better Advocate, to patronize an Advocate advertiser in preference to some other merchant. !At least give our · advertiosers a ch ance to SHOW you what they have; that will cost you nothing. I was talking to a man in Rudge & Guenzel's the other day, and he said, "If I could only get them in our store, to show what I have-that is all I ask." Then let the merchant know that it was his ad in the ADVOCATE that brought h'im a customer, and it will mean that a larger num!be fo merchants will want to take out space, which means , a and better Advocate for YOU.

Ye boyes perdeved ye pair approachin,g and grinned wicked grins. Ye Childe say ye grins and he turned pale for he knew it iboded him ill. Ye fonde Papa noticed ye Childe's fright and picked hym up and carried hym uponne hys shoulder. At thys, ye ruff boyes laffed with ruff !after and quoth in hye glee, "Ho! Ho! Notice yon Childe ' s perambulator."
Ye couple entered ye building and i:ought in vain for ye ofiice of eyp rincipan, Prof. Mays. Finalie after manie minutes and kind 1adie directed them to ye right place.

"Then y e 'Mrs Field will attend to ye registration," quoth ye Professor, as he disappeared into ye Private Sand um.
Ye registration completed , ye Papa left ye Childe and went on hys way.
1Suddenlie around ye corner came an crowd of ye ruff boyes. Ye Childe paled and bys knees shook beneath hym. He turned to run , but behold , h ys retreat was blocked b y an .similar crowd. What was ye poore little fel-

"Ha! Ha! Freshie!" quoth ye rin&· leader , "W'here is thy nurse?"

But behold! Coming down ye hall was an huge giant who seemed to fill yew hole pa1ssageway

T E A VOCATE
SCHOOL PRINT-SHOP TO PRINT THE ADVOG°ATE ---· :_,.
New possible.
The ' High-Sch® lt-Pl int-shop· has received several hundred dollars worth of new equipment, which has enabled it to do its work on a much larger scale. Among the new things are a new press, a new make-up stone and new type. These ha ""ti:;. made it possible to print the Advocate in our own shop, and this issue is an example of L. H. S. talent. '·
Debating for Girls.
Now that school has commenced again we are reflecting on the glory that the boys brol)..ght to school in debate last year and are wondering why the girls do not take part in this subject.
Girls have au equal chance to study in this line of work. English XIII can be taken by anyone, yet very few girls take this Why is it? ls it because they ha!ve not the meulal ability? Or i s· ' ll because they are 'scatter-brained"?
A NOTH ER KITCH EN SHOWER MONDAY NIGHT
M, \)_re Dishes Grace the Cafeteria.
A number of articles w re left over from the kitchen shower "'aturday night and it vrns decided to holrl another shower Monday nig t.
Ief ans\ , er i ng these questions I woufd suggesl that the average of the Mr. King, of the Western Newspaper Union, where our printed, says that there· is no ·-r e ason for this undertaking not being a success. There was some talk last year, of printing the paper in our own shop but the conditions did not seem Yery favorable until lately. Mr. Thomas; our printing instructor, feels that his shop is perfectly capable of'.p turning out just so good a paper &s prof«:>ssional printers.
Publication Date Chan·ge«:n
Of course the L. H. S. Print-shop is . not as fully equipped as that of our vr " Viau<> pr i nter" :rnd it will take n li Ue longer to get the pa H :'r out. Consequently we have changed Jhe date of publication to Thursday. The paper will be circulated the third period instead of fourth. I' Football.
The football squad is still working hard. Ther are not as many out as there were at the beginning of the sPason, but still both the first and r; C'conn squads are comfortably filled.
The second squad is showing- up strong, out still the first has things mostly its own way. The team-work is splendid and our rivals had bett<"r look alive if they expect to show up 1his season.

pupils of any ciass be examined. In practically every subject the girls do just as well as the boys and in many cases much better. As for being "scatter-brained'', look about you and yoq. will see that, gn the vvhole, th€lugh they iik c fun, a large majority of them can "g et down to business"
at th e prop e r t i n:e.
Considering tne physical side we know that girls are not barred from debating as they are in foot ball and track.
Upon 'iJ;J.qu iry I found some other r asons were 5h'1:..:n by- glI'ls. Among these was ib8 t g'rJs c ld n< t h ve timP .Ha , 1, • , · , 1),tt Lhis r nson does not hold, for as a rule girls do not have ,' O!' ·: ou t side school as boys do and their duties at home are not :mch ,that they m e so busy that the-y do noL hare t I.,e to go to shows and other places that Yvaste much time.
Another reason '"as that the girls had no debating club.
An effol't ·" a s i.iade to start a girls' debating club so :me months ago, but this did not come to anything b cause no steps wen-' taken by girls to organize this soci ty. 1
It cannot 1 e denied that debating would profit girl:::; just as much a:::; boys.
It gives them a thorough und rstanding of th e English languag0 and a good cbnrni and 0f it. They stand on their feet and xpress their opinion in such a way that there will be no mistake in their apparent -meaning. It also gives them training in speaking.

Concerning C l as s M e etin gs
Those faithful few who had industry su ffi cient to lead them to the class meeting of the state Juniors were rewarded by gazing on the presence of three! The immortal faithful three.
Last semester, after hard work and many discouragements the class of 1917 succeeded in building up an att e nilancc that mas---&t- leas redital though not in any sense superfluous. A half a dozen loyal students carried the bulk of the class work because there were not enough able and willing Sophomores to divide the work evenly.
This year the classes are split. The regular Juniors have enough members to assume the offices, at least. But pity the poor unfortunate stale Juniors! Those Juniors who entered high school in the middle of the year have, tor the most part, back-slid into the class of the regular Juniors. what few are in the !!!tale Junior division are nearly all Seniors, who have lost a credit. They could not under any circumstances demean themselves by attending class meeting with mere Juniors.
Now you Juniors who really care for the good of your class pull as hard as you can to get the shattered remnants of our class reunited trusting to luck that a room can be found in our beautitul new building sufficiently large to hold the multitudes.

A Perfect Lady.
A New York woman was entertaining in the spacious grounds of her suburban residence, a large number of East-Side children. ()_1 her rounds of hospitaLty she · was impres sed with one strikingly beautiiul little girl. She could not have b€en more than nine years old, but her coalblack eyes flashed with intelligence. '1'he hostess introduced herself and bega <1 a conversation.
"Does what you see here to-day please! "you:('' she asked.
'l'h e child eyed her host in silence.
"Talk away," said the lady. '.'Don't l.Je
'"'l.'ell rue," then said the child, "how many children have you got?"
Astonished at the qu esti on, the lady hesitated for a moment, and then entered into the fun of the situation.
"Ten," she replied.
"Dear me," answered the child, "that is a very large family. I hope you a1 e careful and loolt after them. Do you keep them all clean?"
"Well, I do my best."
"And is your husband at work?"
'"My husuanJ do s not do any kind of work. He never has."
"That is very <;lreadful," replied the Ettle g irl ea1 nestly, "but I hope you keep out of debt." ;
The game had gone too far for Lady Bountiful's enjo'yment of it.
")'. ou a1 e a very rude and impertinent child," she burst out, "to speak like that, and to me."
The child became apologetic. "I'm sure I didn't mean to be, ma'am," she explained. But mother told me before I came that I was to be sure to speak to you like a lady, and when any ladies call on us, they always ask us those questions."

High School Suppers.
It is to be supposed that those fortunate students who attended the high school suppers at the Y. M. C. A. last year will not have to b urged to rpeat the performance.
But there are a large number of the students who have never attended one of these hilarious functions.
About once every month the Y. M. C. A. plans one of these suppers, always obtaining the best speakers to be hadj. Though these speakers furnish entertainment of an incomparable sort it must be admitted that certain irresponsible persons obt.ain more pleasure in observing the methods by which some of our hefty football players stave off starvation.
But there is another · and more serious side to the question. It is obvious that every student in the school desires to meet those students who are formost in every activity of school life. There is no function with the high school where so many prominent and capable students can be found. Any student who wishes to get a good supper, meet a bunch of fine fellows, and have a good time can be looking for a chance to buy a ticket for the first supper on Thursday, Oct. 7.

YE SADQE TAYLE OF YE YOUNGE ' FRESHIE.
Chaptre Ye Third.
Ye Younge Freshie shivered in hys shoes 'as ye pair passed thru ye mob. Safely around ye corner, ye Farlie took ye Freshle out from hys coate and s et hym down on ye floor and left hym.
Ye Freshie then wandred thru ye halles in search of hys first classroom. In one of ye rooms he perceived an large number of green, iron cupboards. Deciding to investigate ye said cupboards he stepped in. He stood on ye tips of hys smalle toes and turned ye handle of one of ye cuvboards. But lo and behold, no sooner hadde he opened ye door than he felt an ruff push from behind and he found hymself in ye cupboard and ye handle was turned with an grating sound.
Suddenlie an loud clamor of bells was heard and footsteps and shouting. An shout came thru ye holes in ye cup hoard. "Fire!" Ye Freshie turned cold and sank to ye floor, voiceless.
After what seemed ages to ye terrified Freshie, ye wild clamor,..came again and then alle was stille. Then ye Freshie found hys voice and screamed with grate loudness: "Would ye tyre-engines never come," thought ye Chylde. "Must I be roasted alive in ye horrible cupboard?"
An wreath of smoke was wafted thru ye holes in ye door and a match smouldered outside. "Mammal Papa!" came ye terirfied cries and ye Freshie fell in an dead .faint.
Up-stairs in ye private sanctum ye Prof. Mays heard cries as of an smalle childe in deep distress. Hastening in ye direction of ye cries ye Professor came upon ye locker in whych he saw thru ye holes ye pynk suit of ye Freshie. He opened ye dorre and litted out ye lymp form.
In ye meantime ye Mamma of ye Freshie became anxious for ye safety of her sonne and journeyed to ye Hyeskule . As she avvroached ye portals she, too, heard ye cries of her childe and rushed in ye direction of them.

Ye Mamma met ye Professor at ye door of ye locker room and took ye chylde from hym tearfully and kissed ye lyttle whyte face and ye golden curles gently Then she called an taxicab and started home with ye Childe.
On ye vray ye Childe came out of hys stupor and murmured: "Oh, mine Mamma I am so · glad ye Hye Skule burned for I hate ye sight of itte and ye ruffe boyes are so cruel." And ye Mamma withe tears in her eyes .Rugged ye lyttle darling close and satte in sylence. ('l'he End.)

LINCOLN HIGH TAKES OPENER.
Nebraska City Far Outclassed.
The Nebraska City team proved to be no match for the Linc:olnites last Saturday. The Lincoln players with their manager and coach and four girls and five boys as rooters left on the Missouri Pacific train at 7: 10 a .' m. Saturday morning, arriving in Nebraska City at 10: 30. The young ladies were former residents of the 1 river ci:ty and spent the day with old friends.
At 2: 15 the team left the gym. of the new high school, packed in a hack, and sang and yelled as they made their way to the driving park where the game was played. They were a jolly bunch and anxious for the whistle which should start the game.
Lincoln kicked off and soon had the ball going our way. Only twice in the game did our opponents make first down while Lincoln made every first down except one. Lincoln was penalized three times for holding and once for offside play, a total of fifty yards. Nebraska City received one for offside and one for interference with a fair catch, a total of twenty yards. The game was clean throughout.
Lincoln succeeded with two forward passes, failed with three and had one intercepted. Nebraska City succeeded with three but failed with seven, and had two intercepted, both of which netted Lincoln touchdowns.
In the first quarter Lincoln made three touchdowns and two in each of the other quarters. Andrew kicked goal six times out of the nine trials making thescore 60 to 0.
The Lineup: Lincoln- -Nebr. City. McMahon, Neal.R. E Hebbard Andrew R. r Neumeister Cox R. G.. Morrow Moore, McGoogan .... C ............ Vmke Young (c) LG Miller '3mith, Copsey LT......... Nelson Chapin L. E. Allen Colton, Schmidt Q. B. Beason Schmidt, Neal R.H ...••..... Smith Busche, Lewellan L. H. • • Anderson Sturm, Brian F. B Kellogg (c) Referee-Coach Earl Johnson of Peru Normal.
Umpire-Captain Jones of Peru Normal.
Field Judge-Holmes of Belleview.
Head Linesman-Porter of Nebraska City.
Time of quarters-12 1-2 minutes.
Score: Lincoln 60, Nebraska City O.
This picture needs no title. We all know captain Young. Farley is a Senior and this is his fourth year of football with Lincoln high school. In his Freshman year he made the foot- · ball team as a reserve and for the two years since he has been one of the mainstays of the team. Watch him this year. Also our illustrious captai 11 is gifted with scholarship, as anyone who has been in any of hjs classes can readily and Farley never has to worry about his eligibility to take part in athletics.
Track is another one of Captain Young's favorite pastimes and the way he handles the "weights" shows him to be an old hand at it.
Farley Young is a man who tries in all that he does. If he didn't he would not now be captain of the footbaU team that intends to be Missouri valley champions this year.
Football Assembly.
Assembly Friday morning was for the purpose of encouraging the football squad for the Nebraska ,City game-in other words a football rallY.
FOOTBALL PROSPECTUS FOR 1915.
Quite a Promising Outlook.
The L. H. S. football team of 1915 has the best chance of any team which Lincoln has turned out in years to clean up and again be Missouri valley and state champions. With Young (captain) playing left guard and playing the game as he never played it before and Sturm, a husky 185-pounder of last year's team, playing alongside of him at tackle, those positions are well cared for Cox, another small boy playing the right guard, makes that place a st.one wall. Andrew, playing tackle, and McMahon and Neal working at end, the right side is looking pretty good.
Chapin, the little wizard of last year's team, is playing a great game at -end with Smith changing off with him occasionally.
Beck is working at center and is a green man at the position, but before the season he will be 0. K.
Another likely candidate for center is a big six-footer by the name of Moore, who has all the natural abil ity to make a great football player for some line positi<lll.
The backfield is working good with Colton and Schmidt at quarter. Cplton is playing the position in class A style with "Pitz" to relieve him.
"Pitz" is playing a half in Brickley style and be sure to keep your eyes on the "Flying Dutchman."
Bowers, the demon "whitehead" end of last year's team, is playing a great game at half and with Pitz as a running mate we have two of the fastest halves in the state.
Curtis at fullback is the regular battering ram and sure plays the game as it should be. Pete got his experience as water boy on last year's team.
With such men as Busche, Lewellan, Moore, McGoogen, Brian and many other promising men L. H. S. will again be champions. WE THINK WE CAN.
The squad was led onto the platform by Mr . Marshall and Coach Greenstreet and the "Stars and Stripes." After parading around the stage a while they were persuaded to sit down and give folks a chance to look at them.
The sight of so many huskies was one to gladden the eyes of football fans. Speeches were made by Coach Greenstreet and Captain Young. The squad sang "Boola" for the benefit of the audience and called forth great applause.
The "rooting" was not as loud as might be but there was team work there, so that after a little practice that auditorium will be made to ring,

GIRLS' ATHLETICS.
As yet the girls have not started class work in the new gymnasium, but are waiting with great impatience. We are more than anxious to use a gym ·which is so much finer than th e old one. The floor has been marked for basketball, base b all and captainball in such bright colors that they will help the girls to stay on the right side of the lines when playing games.
Miss Richards is to have room 120 for her office and she says that she will have the grandest department in th e school when it is completed. A great many have asl:ed about the swimming tank, but there is no water in it. It is hoped that there be soon.
There are two hundred and · twentysix girls in the department. The seventh period classes have alone ninety-two, while the fifth period has five. There is a rumor of an eighth period class for those who have had two semesters before, but that is all we know about it.
Where is that mirror we were promised last year?
The floor of the gym. was oiled last Wednesday. When it is thoroughly dry, classes will go on the floor.
When is the next gym. luncheon due?

"What do you ask for these shoes?'' asked the dashing young lady of the shoe clerk.
"Five dollars," he replied.
"Aren't you a little dear?" inquired the young lady.
"Well," answered the clerk, "that's what all the girls tell me."
Then she giggled and b.e blushed and took her money-also her address.

BOYS' ATHLETICS.
Mr. Cowen, supervisor of the Lincoln public school playground, is director of the boys' gymnasium classes here.
We are looking for a class of expert swimmers from the gymnasium this year.
Supt. Hunter is oft e n seen at football practic e , r e ady to give his own a ss:. stance, whi c h is appreciated by those on the field.
Everybody g e t out and root for our opening game. See how many tickets you ca n plac e
Un de r th e car e ful and efficient instruction of Coach Greenstreet our three years' football team promis e s to be a pennant winner.
It has been rumored that Charles Hartman will probably be able to place as guard or tackle on either the fourth or fifth t e ams.
We have noticed that Carl Wynkoop and Roy Smith are shining examples in gym. work.
The football season of 1915 can be the best ever if the student body gets behind the team, because the team is a crackerjack and now and then they need a little support from you. "Pep" is the word that wants to be heard around the building.
Being in our new building and everything is almost perfect, we have to have a winning team in football in order to ::; tart the season off right. Now everybody buy a season tickeL and stand by our old slogan, "We think we can."
MUSIC.
L. H. S. has a wonderful reputation along a musical line to uphold and we believe that she will do it. Last year we had the best and largest high school band in the state and also a fine orchestra. Then there were the operas and other musical activities which were the talk of the city at the time they were presented. So let us hope that in this year before us we shall come up to and surpass along other lines our efforts of the past.
Everybody ought to rejoice when they hear the band in contrast with the pounding of "those dreadful workmen."
Since Mr. Miller is teaching vocal lessons L. H S. ought to flourish in good voices.
The band is practicing every day in room 4.
We shall expect great things of the music department of the Advocate if all the musical editors are as promis· ing as the present one.
The chorus has a good many more members this semester than it had last semester. The chorus is intending to present part of the program which is to be given at the dedication of our new building. It is also planning io

"My dear," called a wife to her husband who was in the next room, "what are you opening that can with?"
"Why," he said, "with a can opener -what did you think I was doing it with?"

Jones was moving to a house a block a way, and fearing to trust his grandfather's clock to the drayman, be labored down the street, setting it down to rest every time the door banged open and hit him in the shins.
Acros the street a man reeled up against a lamp post and stood looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Shay," he c.:.lled out, "Why doncha carry a watch?"
"I see that Marconi has invented a device by which you can see through brick walls."
"Somebody invented that long ago."
"Who was it, I'd like to know?"
"The man who firs t thouWl,t of putting windows in 'em."
"Why don't you yawn when he stays too long?" inquiredthe mother. "Then he'll take the hint and go."
"I did do that very thing," confessed the daught e r, "and he tolcl me what beautiful teeth I had."
"Wh e re is your new fiat?"
"On 0 street."
"But won't the trolley cars bother you?"
"The landlord says they won't bother us after the first few nights and you know we can spend the firist few nights at mother's."
"And oh, mother, I actually heard his heart throbbing last night when he told me of his love."
"Sure it wasn't his Waterbury watch?" inquired mother. "I got fooled that way with your father."

THEhill, but more are needt>d to help push that train.
Now let all of us who think we could be of any use to the debating team, and have the time to spare from our studies, get out for debating and help hold up our reputation. REMEMBER THAT SECOND HILL.
The taxicab driver was about to receive bis sentence.
"Prisoner'', said the judge, "I am satisfied there is no reasonable doubt of your guilt. The evidence shows that you drove the deceased about the ty in your taxicab for two hours, then took him to a secluded place and strangled him and stole his watch. Have you anything to say. before sentence is pronounced?"
"Yes, your honor."
"What is it?"
"I'd like to know, your honor, who is going to pay the cab hire?"
Pat was over in England working with his coat off. There 'vere two Englishmen laboring on the same railroad, so they decided to have a Joke with the Irishman. They painted a donkey's head on the back of Pat's coat, and watched to see him put it o:i. Pat, of conrse, saw the donkey's head on his coat, and, turning to the Englishmen, said: "Which of yez wiped yer face on my coat?"
DEBATING.
With so much football on our minds not many have much thought for other school activities. Debating however, has now begun and a meeting of candidates for the debating team was held Monday.
Of ·course debating doesn't look as interesting from the outside as athletics, but one cannot judge from appearances. A lot of folks do not know how much fun there is in debating and how much good there is in it. A person gets a great deal of satisfaction in besting thP. other fellow in an argument; it's human nature And then think of all the facts we would gather together in taking up this subject that would help us in future years.
Daniel \Vebster, Patrick Henry, Abraham Lincoln and a great many others were debaters, and although they worked with a handicap, be<'ame great men in history. Not one of them had the advantage we have for collecting facts and of having special instruction in this line.
Lincoln High haB a reputati o ;; to keep up in debating, and she needs assi:>tants to help her.

Before leaving on the 11: 00 a m. Burlington train, the coach, the manager and eighteen players were served most excellent dinner in the cafeteria by Mrs. Pier and her girls of the Domestic Science department. The menu consisted of tomato bouHion with salted wafers, baked potato <>s, roast beef with brown gravy, white and whole wheat bread, pineapple, celery, milk, ice cream and wafers. The ice cream had been molded in tho form of footballs. The tables were laid with snowy white linen and decorated with carnations. Menu in scarlet and black, with a r a football player and the menu written in football terms gave the boys a pleasant souvenir of on of the best dinners of which they have taken part. The Domestic Science department is to be congratulated on the ability to serve so excellent a meal.
As soon as the team arrived in Aurora they immediately went to the Y. M. C. A. and dressed for the game. It was a most delightful day, just cool enough to be comfortable putting both teams in the finest form.
In the first quarter, Lincoln made three touchdowns, score 21-0. In the second quarter, one more touchdown and a safety Taised the score to 30-0. Two more touchdowns in the third period with failure to kick goal once, gave Lincoln 43-0. Two more in the fourth quarter and another failure to kick goal gave Lincoln 56-0 at the close of the game.
Lincoln was penalized once for holding and three times for taking out time, a total of 20 yards.

---Photo hy MacDonald. HENRY ANDREW.
Again the form of one of our mighty football warriors graces the front page.
Henry Andrew, who has played tackle for Lincoln High for two years, is a part of that stonewall which held all the M iss ouri Valley teams out last year.
"Ha!lk" or "Baldy" got out for the team he was a freshman and got the experience that year that won him a place on the first team in his Sophomore year. Henry is a S eni or now and so this is the last season Lincoln High will have his services
Anywhere you see "Hank" you will find a smile on his face. Opposing tackles see that smile and when they see "Hank" coming they get out of the way.
Besi de s being able to play his position at tackle to perfection, he is gifted with the art of punting and does most of the kicking for the team. Track also claims Andrew as onr.> of its supporters but football is where "Hank" shines.

OLD SOLDIERS AT ASSEMBLY FRIDAY.
Patriotic Prog:-am Given.
Two old soldiers visited Lincoln High Fricay mo1 ning and entertained at Assembly with a very interesting patriotic program.
The first gentleman to speak, complimented the students on the fine new building and compared advantages now with those of fifty years ago. His speech was excellent and it was an inspiration to make the best of the advantages at hand.
Dr. Putney, who has visited L . .H S. before, told some v ry interesting war storiei::l which abounded with good humor . He brought his bugle along and gave some of the numerous calls wh:ch ar a part of the soldiers' daily routine.
This program was one of the most entertaining that has been given this y ear a:!ld was thoroughly appreciated. Footboll Squad Also Present. The football squad was also present and was given a h arty sendoff for the Aurora game.
Harold Webb has become quite proficient in the art of cheerleading and he brought forth great enthusiasm from the student body.
A brief speech was given by Coach Gr enstreet and on account of the lack of time other remarks from the team were postponed. The squad adjourned to dinner before assembly was over, as they had to catch an eleven o'clock train.
Hart Back Again.
Charles Hart is back in school again after two weeks of pneumonia. Hart is from Edgar and was trying out for center on the footban team. His illness cut short his endeaYors however, and he was not able to return to school until Monday.
FOOTBALL WITH HASTINGS
FRIDAY.
Friday Lincoln High plays Hastings at Lincoln. Hastings always promises a good game and the L. H. S. squad has been training hard all week so that they can add Basting's scalp to those of Nebraska City and Aurora. Hastings defeated Minden last week by a big score and we may expect somewhat of a contest tomorrow.
This is Lincoln High's fiI st home game and a big crowd is expected.
All students are invited to contribute to the Adv ocate. We are always in need of good cartoons making upto-da te hits. This week we are pdnting a cartoon by a new artist. We hope many more will be received in room 100 after school any day.

ATHLETIC NOTES.
If the football team keeps up the r est of the s e ason as we ll as they did again st Nebraska City we will have no trouble in capt urin g the championship again this year.
Why not have a little baseball or football among the different Home rooms. Th ere are some pretty good players and some good games would be played.
Since workmen have plowed, harrowed and rolled the athletic grounds north of the buildi n g we will goon have a excellent field for either football, basket-ball or baseball.
The new gymnasi um and plunge ought to give many boys a good chance to learn the gym stunts.
The girls went on the floor in their new Gym, Monday, for the first time. A better looking bunch cannot be found in the state of Nebraska or in any other state for that matt er. Every one enjoys the work As she marche s around the room trying to hold her head higher than the girl ahead her face fairly shines with pleasure.
Both the fifth and sixth period clas-
ses in gym are very large. Only ninety-two in the sev enth period c la ss.
'We ·wond er how the girls en joy I.heir constitutional every morning? Fre e dancing l ess ons fourth period. Although swimming on dry land isn't what is is cracked up to be, the gir l s have the consolation of knowing that, they wm have the r ea l thing soon with out going to the B each.

MUSIC.
Now that we are in the new highschool and have better accomodations, we are expecting great things of the music department. It is starting out w e ll because more pupils than ever b e for e registered in this department. Besides the harmony and appreciation classes, there is a new class of musical history.
In music hall some difficulty has been experienced because of the echo. It is almost impossible for the band and orchestra to practice there. It is expected that the draperies, which will soon be up, will deaden the sound.
The chorus is working on two for the opening of the High School to the public the last of this month. About ten more boys could be used in the chorus. The orchestra expects to begin to practice with the chorus in a few weeks. Mr. Greenslit and Mr. Steckelburg would like beginners on instruments to come and get the music and practice, so that later they can take their places in the band and orchestra.
The class in vocal instruction is steadily growing. Possibly others would be interested if they realized that the instruction is as good as any in the city. The class meets sixth period on Tuesday and Thursday.
The orch estra, chorus, harmony, and vocal classes have had no pianos, but are hoping for one soon.

Now that the boot ball season is here, everybody wants to get in the game. Figuratively, not literally. In the autumn when it begins to get cold everybody has a surplus of energy. If each one would use all his surplus energy, the football boys would feel like doing something. No on e c? :1 get along in this world without somP encouragement, and if we are all there with the goods, the boys will do their part. Come to all of the games and yell as loud as you can. Get a little "pep" and bring it and it will work wonders.

"Home Rooms"
Season Tickets.
Now is our chance to show the football team what we think of tr.em They have been working hard every afternoon for over a month while we have been loafing around and attending "jit"-shows and the like.
For their first two games this season they have had no body of loyal students in . the grandstand to cheer them on, as they had out of town games. Tomorrow we have a home game and our boys will expect to see that grandstand crowded full of enthus!a stic students. Are we going to disappoint them? They have given up their time to foot-ball for a long while and as yet we have given up nothing. Arc we going to ::.::tand by and let them do it all? Let us hope not. We must show that football bunch that · we appreciate their efforts by getting out and rooting for them.
Also it takes money to finance a football season. This financial support isn't going to drop from th e air, it is up to us to see that it is provided. The dollar we spend for our season tickets will come back like bread cast on the waters, in th e enjoyment of the games and the faction of knowing that we have b en helping the team.
Imagine how "our boys" would feel if they saw only a few rooters huddled together in one corner of the grand-
What is the good of Home rooms? Many students are asking this question. There are many ideas on this and plans. Tho Home room should be a place for the students to get acouainted. Baseball, football and hasket-ball teams should be organized and every fellow should be encouraged to take part. A prize or trophy would be a nice award to the Home room having the best record in athletics and also other things. Short debates could be prepared and topics of interest rould be discussed by the There are many good things to be gotten out of Home rooms if everyone would be a "booster".

ART
Some five years ago the high school had a small class in art, meeting ly. Among the students of that class two have become artists of aiblity. Although last year there was a normal training class as well as orie in mechanical drawing,. little attention has been paid to art classes in our school, but this year, a more elaborate course in art is obtainable. Already the studio boasts of twenty-five students a day,
beside the mechanical drawing class which has about thfrty-seven.
The new art course includes composition work, free hand lettering, design, and commercial drawing. This art is a doubie period subject and receives one credit a semester, the same as for laboratory work.
Many students have expressed regret at not having known of the new art classes, and from the number in the studio this first semester, very large classes are expected next year.
It is the intention of the art classes, to make the Advocate, if possible, more attractive through their contributions; to decorate posters; and to help whenever possible, wherever artistic talent in our school is needed. Any suggestions from the teachers or from the students of the High School, in solving practical art problems such as those just mentioned will be greatly appreciated by the art division.

A green brakeman on a Colorado rairoad was making his first trip over the Rockies. They were going up a very steep grade, and with unmmal difficulty the engineer succeeded in reaching the top. At the station, looking ,o ut Qf his cab, the engineer saw the new · brakeman and said with a sight of relief, 'I tell you, my lad, we had a job to get up there, didn't we?"
"We certainly did," said the brakeman, "and if I hadn't put on the brakes we'd have slipped back."

THE AD VOCATE
HASTINGS IS DEFE ATE D
PROVED EASY F O R LI N COLN.
Lincoln won its third game this season by defeating Hastings, 44 tu u. Hastings had a plucky team but ·were hoJ e lessly outrr eighed. At times Eastings would spurt and gain several yards but Lincoln's stone wall would stiffen and hold them for downs. ln spite of the one-sided score, the gan1c was a good one and some splendid football was put up by Hast, ings. First half:
The game started at 3 o'rlock with Hasting's kickoff. Ross gave the ball a slight kick to one side, a Hastings L.la.J. f e ll on it and the play started, Lincoln's line held and Hastings was forced to punt. Lincoln then marched steadily up the field and pushecl the ball ov1:;r the goal. All this in the fin;t five minutes. Andrews kicked goal.
Lincoln kicked off and held Hastings and forced them to punt. again started up the field, Andrews making good gains on tackle-around plays. Hastings intercepted a pass fo1· a good gain. Quarter over. Seore 7-0.
Hastings spurted but the red and black line braced and held them for downs. Lincoln then took the ball in hand and carried it right up the field for another touchdown.
Hastings received the ball on the kickoil and ' ere forced to punt. Colton received it and made a pretty return for 30 yards. Lincoln then carried the ball over in spite of Hastings' plucky defense. Andrews kkked goal and the half ended, 20-0.
Second half: The second half started with Lincoln's kick-off. Hastings returned it but were held for do w ns. Hastings was pushed back for another touchdown.

Hastings made another spurt in the third quarter, but whatever hopes they had were shattered when Brian inter c epted a pass and picking his way through the yellow and black field went 10 yards for a touchdown. Hastings received the kickoff and soon after made a beautiful pass which netted them 40 yards. Rener, the Hastings quarter, was in possession of the ball with a clear field before him and had he not stumbled. he would have made goal.
The last quarter Lincoln had thmgs well in hand and forced Hastings back for another touchdown. Lewellen and Busche featured in this quarter with

SENIOR PRESIDENT.
This week we turn from a parade of football pictures to the smiling visage of the Senior President. For the benefit of those who do not recognize the above picture it might be stated that the gentleman represented is For rest Estes.
Forrest has been a booster for the class of 1916 and Lincoln High ever since his entrance in 1912, and with him at the helm the 12-B's will have a rippmg good semester.
The name of Mr. Estes was to be heard last semester in connection with debate as he was a member of the debating squad and - defended Lincoln very nobly. It should also be stated that "Schrimp" is a Pblogblon.
Among the numerous positions which Estes holds is that of _ dvNtising Manager of the Advocate, which is the best high school paper in Nebraska. For an example of his diligence pick up a copy of the Advocat e and notice the number of "ads."
A young man dining in a restaurant one day ordered some noodle s6up and while eating it cam e across a needle. Immediately upon the discovery he called the waiter over and said, "Look here, waiter, I found this here needle in my soup."

A SHIFT IN THE · LINCOLN LINEUP
By "Monty."
It has been a problem for some time to know bow to line up the Lincoln players most effectively. Last Tuesday during the rain some startling information was gained. The ball v..as wet and the following lineup sure pulled some "slick" plays.
Captain Farley, with chains on to keep him from slipping, was playing quarter. They tried to get "Oak" to play fullback, but he tried to explain he had to leave. Andrews and Sturm were playing the halves and were right "in the swim" when it came to lug g ing the ball. On the line ·.vere McMahon and Chapin at ends, Cclton and Curtis at tackle, Bowers and Schmidt at guards, and last but not 1 ast was Moore at center.
The reason for lining up this way was bPcause it was so dark and ,..]rrnihr thPv to :i li!!ht linP.

BOYS' ATHLETICS.
Lincoln's record in football up to date rnakes things look quite promising for a winning team. The team this year averages one hundred ninety-five pounds from tackle to tackle, and the entire first squa d a verages o ne hm1clred seventy pounds. The team not OI'l> has the weight -but it has thtSf'O:-'°d, for in s u ch men as McMahon, Sc ln1idt, ndrews. Colton and Bowen; we have one of the fastest teams in the state. The thi ng that is necessary now is for the e ntir e student body to get behind the team and push it up the same hill it climbed la st yea r and w0'll have another M. V. champlonship for Lincoln high school.
Quoted From An Omai1a Letter. "Coach Mully is sure some coach We had a mass meeting the other day and he painted a vivi d picture as to how we are going to clean up the cham.:;>ions in football, basket ba ll , and track. Watch out. Lincoln!"

His Chief End In Life.
There was once a rich but very mean old lady, says Answers, who paid her servants as little as pos!'lible, and kept very few.
One of her staff was a thin, miserable-looking lad of twelve, who answered the door, did the knives and the windows.waited table, weeded the garden, washed the poodle, and hat the rest of the time to himself.
One visitor asked him:
"Well, my boy, and what do you here?"

THE ADVOCA TE
DEBATING SQUAD HAS STARTED WORK.
The debating team has gathered together e.'.1ougb men to start work E rery Monday and Wednesday night they will be at work in 319, seventh period, collecting facts and comparing notes.
The question for this year is: "Re· solved, That the Interests of Civilization Demand Disarmament Rath er Than Armament." It is a big question and there are a lot of statistics to be gotten together. The seven or eight who are out for debating will be busy men for awhile.
This year there are two men left with us from last year's squad. They are Forrest Estes and Fred Campbell. Both are splendid 'workers and with their . experience from last year ought to "make good." Estes was a member of last year's team and proved to be quite i;;ersuasive with his arguments.
The other five or six men on the equad are out for the first time but they have taken bold of the work with a will. With Mr. Hewitt to coach them they are bound to make a team.
Wheaton Allen, one of the new men, is 13howing up well and his pmk cheeks and winning smile are sure to captivate judges. Charles Hart, the big man from Edgar, and Gerald MatyoU, have joined the team just lately but they will soon catch up with the rest of the squad. Harold Litton an d L awrence Dater comprise the rest of the squad. Both of them have had debating experience in English XIII. This, combined with natural ability, makes a valuable asset of the team.
With these g ood men debating for Lincoln High looks very promising this year. It is high time for other
tPi:im<:: to "look i:ilhri:>"
Colorado Springs, Oct. 11 , 1915."The Advocate," Lincoln High School. D<'a r i\lr. 1::di1•;1·: lJpo!1 1 c'ee1;, Ji1y last is s ue of The Advocate, the iirst thing I lol::.e j for was the lineup of the football team. It's great! When I learn e d several months ago that the invincibl e Mulligan had gone o,r e r to the enemy, my hop es of ano ther .VI. V. C. team fell very slightly, and I suppose that my spirits had something to do vdth the woefully ragged team of comebacks I had "doped out." However, there are more olcl men back than the forE'cast allow ed and to them are added the very best of last. year's string J..:J en. The material looks lik e a combination of a ston e wa ll , a German line of d efense, a steam roller and a batte: ing ram-and the n some. I don't Mr. Greenstreet, but ff he's the man that report has him to be , and if the students of L. H. S. have half the that they had last year ( Lhey sho uld have twice as much) our d eparted friend, Mulli, will have to travel some to maintain his and Omaha' s reputation. Mulli's a friend of mine and I wish him all kinds of success, except when his men and ours meet on the football field, the bask etball fioor, the debating platform, or the · cinder track. Then my good wishe s cease, an d they might as well, for if my premonition holds true Lincoln High will once more reign supreme in the athletics of the state and the Mussouri valley-in spite of Mulli and his Omaha huskies. It's hard to yell on paper, but "Hit that line, and hit it hard!"

PHLOG NOTES.
The Phlogs. held their meeting in room 197 Parliamentary drill was put in practice and the chair was kept for quite a while by the attorney, Rokahr.
Officers were elected as follows: Raymond, president. O'Neill, vice president. Wynkoop, secretary. Richards, sergeant-at-arms. Everts, editor. Estes, critic. Rokahr, attorney. Elbourne, treasurer.
Richard Chapman gave us a lecture on the wireless telephone, which was very interesting.
The debate of the evening was then put in order.
Resolved, That Immigration Should Be Further Restricted By Means of the Illiteracy Test
The debate was won, two to one, by the affirmative.
Mr. Hewitt showed us a chart that be had made of the debate and gave some very interesting criticisms a·>out the speakers of the affirmative and negative. The meeting then adjourned. "SKINNEY."

CICERONIAN DEBATING SOCIETY. At a special meeting last Monday Harold Harris, Malcolm Black, GlenP Brown, Ferle Brookhauser, Fred. Campbell and Stoddard Robinson were .' asked to be members. Some bunch, we claim.
At the regular meeting it was decided to have initiations in three weeks, and Gardner, Jenkins and Maryott were selected to devise the proper punishment.
Thi:::; bunch has a vivid memory of last spring's initiation, and will inject sufficient enthusiasm into the proceedings to mak e the unfortunates know -something has happened. The ques·tion for debate was: "Resolved, ·.i hat the City of Lincoln Should Purchase Capital B e ach for a Public P<trk." Forrest and Mason took the affirmative while Black and Jarman upheld the negative. Largely because of Ron. Forrest's f e rvid description of the joys of apital Beach, the decision was rendered in favor of the affirmative. After a hustling session of parliamentary drill, Mr. Hewitt and Mr. King made short speeches. At the farmer's suggestion it was decided to spend part of next meeting >Yith the Ptolemy;:; h> hear an address on parliamentary law by Guy Chambers.

The time was taken up mainly in the transaction of business, it being necessary to take up the new constitution and election of officers. Funds were voted for the purpose of buying a scrap book to be filled with current cartoons and illustrations, and a club magazine was subscribed for. A highly interesting program was in the hands of Forrest Estes, Gerald Maryott and Walt Gardner. Those who came out on top in the election were: President, Dick O'Neill; vice president, Forrest Estes; secretary and treasurer, Bruce Raymond; sergeantat-arms, Hon. Walter J. Gardner, and Editor, Donald Parry.

Hard Luck.
Look out! Old Man Hard Luck has camped on the trail of the L. H. S. squad. At the present time be is put· ting in some pretty good licks. T.ast Thursday night he hit Verne Moore square on the nose and broke it in two places. Bowers and Coulton have both been laid up with sprained backs. The "Dutchman," Pitzy, has not been able to get into scrimmage and things at present seem to be going against us.
'fhis preceding paragraph is not a bear story, but without a game last Saturday we hope the team will be in the pink of condition by next Saturday when we are going to take Sioux City to a "cleaning". Then the next week is when we are to meet Mully and his crew, so let's chase Mr. Hard Luck out of camp and give the ti:>am a boost.
Stop! Think and Plan.
Let's save the sheckles and get in line to buy a ticket to Omaha
Let's boost for the team.
Let's kill Mully's spirit.

Hurray! We will soon ( ?) be having delicious sensations swimming and diving gracefully like mermaids in our elegant pool. Ah-h ! just to think of it makes us giddy. And you just ought to see the cute bathing suits Miss Richards has selected for us; quite simple in design, texture and price.
However, there's one thing we will miss about this pool. That is the sandy shore and the Freshies with their little spades and tin buckets.
By the way, Betty Brown has recently acquired the responsible position of instructor of the fourth period class. She makes quite an impression shouting the commands in her deep, manly voice. Here's to your success Hetty. We hope you will keep your job.

Music Notes.
Why don't thos e people who are always trying to get up class orchestras come into the school arches tra and try to help the faithful few to make one good orchestra inst e ad of so many little orchestras, which up to this t ime have not amounted to anything. History of music is a subj ct which is being taught by Miss Haywood for the first time in Lincoln High. Thos e in the class will all agree that it i s an interesting subjC'ct to study. U p to this time they have studied con c erning the music of primitive peopl e s in different countries and will gradually bring the subject down to the pr es C'nt time.

This seas o n has p u t forth an abundance of material of g o od q uality. To be a star is n o t o n l y t o sh i ne in the ath l etics line, b u t also un d er the various tut o rs of the L. H. S. institution. So by this definition we llave many of the heaven l y b o dies on the second eleven.
The captain this year is g o ing t o win for himself a fame which w ill never die. This tutor is ta ll and husky He l o o ks the who l e w o rld in the race, for he fears n o t any man.

LINCOLN CARR I ES O F F HONORS.
Once More V ic t o r ious.
In a hard fought game Lincoln defeated Siou , City, 27 to 3. At th o start of th e game the teams rn ::Taed : to be evenly n i atched but the men won, as always. The · firs t quarter was a Lar<l fight and Lin c oln came out with tt e srr:all end of a 3 to 0 score. However, th e Lincoln huskies found themsel7es the quarter and hammered the Sioux City lir:e for repeated gains. This hammering 1 as continued throughout the third and fourth quarters till to Y a1 ds the end of the gam e it rn cmed 1'..ke a runaway.

Th e first touchdown came after about thr e · uinut e s of play. On a fumbl e in th e same quarter a Uni. Place man raced sixty yards for thE' second touchdown. Our f e llows then seemed to lo se all the "ppe" ·.v-itb which th e y began the game and University Place's goal was never once in danger. During the first quarter Captain Lawhorne collided with the goal post and injured his foot. Hutchinson took his position and Brick Richards went in for Hutchinson during the third quarter. In the second quarter Bennison replaced Murray at quarter. In the third quarter Bumstead took Rube Murary's position at right halfback.

Sioux City again kicked off, Colton returning twenty-five yards Bowers received a pass and went over for a touchdown but the ball was ' brought back and Lincoln penalized good looking president.

STALE JUNIORS.
The 11-A and 11-B classes held a joint meeting in the auditorium. The following numbers were enjoyed: Lois Wilson, piano solo; Hazel Bobbitt, vocal solo; Helen Gilbert, reading; Lyla Perkins, piano solo.
The two divisions held respective business meetings. The 11-A division invited Miss Proctor to be sponsor and she was kind enough to accept. The following play committee was announced and immediately got to work:
Rachel Trester, chairman; Hubert Upton. MARYOTT, Editor Pro Tern.
JUNIOR ORCHESTRA.
The 'Junior class has organized an orchestra which we have great hopes of. There is an abundance of material in the class We are going to have the best orchestra that was ever organized in Lincoln, and that means it will have to be mighty fine. It is up to every Junior to ' help this along. The committee for the 11-A division consists of Hubert Upton and Miriam Williams.
If you think you can play, tell them about it. We are going to need a fine orchestra and we need it pretty soon. GERALD MARYOTT.
CICERONIAN DEBATING SOCIETY.
Skinney called the meeting at 7: 45. He is distressingly prompt. The first few minutes were devoted to committee reports and numerous comments on them The Hallowe'en party for Saturday night was fully discussed and many plans made . The features of parliamentary drill were the enthusiasm with which Don Parry addressed the chair, and Litton's numerous jokes ( ?) An impromptu debate was arranged but the victims escaped by an adjournment. Parry's interest and attention was devoted to writing out the constitution .1 of some mysterious, but none the less commendable, organization. MARYOTT , Editor .
THE ADVOCATE
EVERYBODY OUT.
That's the way the felJows turned out to Ptolemy meeting on Friday, the 29th. In spite of the fact that many tempting invitations to parties and such were received, all were turnell down to attend the regular meeting.

OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM.
It may be interesting to the stuc dents of the high school to knO\Y tbc fi'nancial system used in the care of our athletic funds. We have what we believe the best checking system can be devised. If we discover an :_; i mprovement we shall use it
The system works as follows: v\ "b€n tickets are printed the printer renders a bill for a certain number of ticltets, for example: this fall for on e tnousand tickets. Students and teachen:; Lake these tickets and later s ettl0 for them, r turning either tickets or r:10r:.ey and receiving l'eceipts, the car bo ::.1 duplicate remaining in the office. \Vben all settlements are comph:'tc, Mr. Morris, secretary of the Board of Education and also treasurer of our High School Athletic associa tio::i, comes to the hi o-h school office and collects from the Vice Principal a dollar for e ach season ticket whicl1 lacking from the o :w printed.
Tick e ts sold at the gate are of tn c numb e red roll band type. Mr. Hoilman Ee cures from the office a roll of these tickets and is held resryon s ibk for 50c for each ti<;:ket torn -off. H e furnish e s a signed statement to l '." C' Vic e Principal of the number of dollar s turn e d in to the Vice Principal. h Vice Principal in turn gives thi '.; money together with Mr. Hoffman' ;, s igned statement to Secretary Mo!Tir; All oth e r receipts, such as sale of any athletic goods, or towels, arP rrceipted for from a numbered reccin t i·ook furnished by th Board of Education. Mr. Morris collects from th e· Vice Principal the amounts shown on the carbon duplicates. These methods furnish a complete check of all receipts.
All bills are paid by check by Sec-
S"IHl\'P
retary Morris, on orders issued· by the Vlce Principal from order books furnished by the · Board of Education. Th Se orders are consecutively numbered and hav carbon duplicates. This makes a complete check on all expenditures.
The accounts of the Association are open for inspection to any one who may desire to see- them.

The fourth quarter something happened to the visiting team, they will never know what it was. Bowers started the slaughter by a long end run to Sioux City's one-foot line. Colton took · the ball over and Andrew kicked goal.
After Lincoln's l{ickoff long end runs by Bowers and Sturm again placed the ball over Sioux City's goal.
0ioux City received again and were held. They attempted to punt but thP center's pass went wild. Curtis got the ball and raced up the field for the last toucb.down. The whistle blew before further progr ss could be ri1ade. Score 27-3.

Jean stood in the cabin door ing anxiously down the mountain pass. There was a sad, wistful look in her big, brown eyes. She pushed the, tang l ed red hair from her forehead with a rough, work-hardened hano. Her tattered calico skirt drooped down behind and her waist · was worn to s hreds, the s l eeves hanging in a fring r from her shou'lders.
Suddenly she heard a rustle in the· leaves, a step, and through the gathering gloom her quick eye disce!·ned the figure of a man. It was Ben Skinner.
"What you standin' there f..>r?" asked Ben.
"l'm looking fer Dad," was the curt reply. "He ain't been home fer twu days."
"Wall, he ain't never comin' home, either. Dad Howard found him la 7 i11 ' in the gorge with a bullet through h b heart."
Jean's big hands clinched, her ja·w squared and her ilps set in a f;rm, straight line.
"Who done hit?" she asked with :1 tremulous voice, her eyes "I dunno; maybe the revenue officers."
Jean stood for a few seconds, her lif tle body rigid, then with a cr.v !ikv that of a wild thing, she fled into thE: cabin. Ben shuffled off through thr· dead leaves and presently all was still save when the silence was broken Jean's rnoa1 is ;:ind sobs, or the cry of some night-bird.
Suddenly Jean was aroused by tlw cold, sympathetic nose ot Clip, llt-r dog, who was friend and protector. thr u:.:;t against her clH"1."k. She tl1rP\V her arms around him and lold him oi' h e r trouble, while he listened pathetically, now and then giviug a low whine or licking her hand lo\ingly.
The morning broke clear and cold; during the night the world had been covered with a thick, white blanket. All day long Jean and Clip sat and watched for some one who might com ;.· -

to bring them some news of Dad, bUL no one came. Another restless night passed and soon after davbreak Ben came floundering through the decv snow.
"They've tuck your Dad down to tlw settlement."
"What they got him there fer?"
''I dunno; goin' to find out who Jcilled him, I reckon."
"I'm goin' down to sec him," impulsively announced Jean.

"No, you ain't neither, Why, you cou ldn't get no further than the ,..; nJeh in all this snow. It's over vour head in places."

Nevertheless there was a d ·'tf'I" minGd look in Jean's face and as Poor, as Ben \Vas gone she set to work preparing for her journey. She and plunged into the great white driftf; bravely at first, hut soon, wet to tlH· skin and weak from hunger and los s of sleep, she twgan to become fatigued. There was a stretch of Urn e in which she scarcely knew what she was doing. She could remember th(·

''There! She is commg t o, all rirrhi. Now, g ive her another sip of thi::;."
J ean opened her eyes and gazed around in a dazed manner. She was in a warm, c ozy room.

At the s ound of Jean's voice, C li p bounded to the bed and putting hir big paws on the white bed, he lir·J..-ed her hand. She turned and b ehC'ld t'. h0 kind, chee r y faces of a man, wornan and young girl.
·'No, n o t in heaven, little girl, bnf with friends. Do you fee l better?" It was the big doctor who spoke.
"Yes, I'm all right I r eckon, but how'd we get here?"
"We found you in the sn ow Your faithful dog led us to you. Now .''Ot: must eat thi:::; and then go to sleep and when you are stronger you cau talk ."

"Jean," she eried. I have some h·oor1 news for you. Your Daddy's n o t dead; the wound was not fatal and hl i s going to o-et well, and as s oon as yo u a1;e able you can go to see him."

The Lincoln t e am soon had the ball back in the enemies' territory during the iirst quarter, carrying it from the center of the iield to the 10-yard line on straight footnall, only to lose it on downs.
After taking the oval to the Omaha 5-yard line at the opening of the second period, the capital city boys iost the ball on dmvns, the Omaha te am putting up the stiffest defensive s'.-iowing of the game at this stage. Schmidt made a brilliant return of thirty-five yards on Fullaway's punt to the Omaha 15-yard line. Battering the line, Lincoln took the ball to the 4·vard line. On a tackle around play, · Andrew then drove through for the first cou:::iter. He also kicked gal. Tho secand touchdown came in the sa:me period, Colton going over after a twentyyard march on straight football. Andrew kicked goal, making the .score 14 to 0 when the half ended.
'_'_'aking the ball to the Lincoln 30yard line on forward passing at the opening of the third quarter Omaha lost the ball when Chapin intercepted a long flip on his own 5-yard line- An. drew made one of his pretty runs here, taking the ball thirty yards. End runs by McMahon, Andrew and Schmidt brought the ball to the Omaha 15-yard line. -
Moriarity intercepted a forward pass by Schmidt in the center of the field at the beginning of the last quarter and raced to the Lincoln 15yard line before downed. The Lincoln line held its opponents and then the Lincoln backfield rushed the ball to the Omaha 8-yard line. McMahon scooted over on the next down for the third counter. Andrew kicked goal, making the final score 21 to 0.
Beard, the big Omaha center, played a fighting game, remaining in the fracas with a badly injured hip. Coach Mulligan is authortiy for the statement that Beard has been bothered with a bad hip all season and that it is set several times during every ,game. Beard would not retire from
RIGHT GUARD.
This big man is part of that stone wall of Lincoln's which has so successfully held out iive teams so far this season. He will also be a big factor in furthering our claim on the Missouri Valley championship.
Oakley Cox is now playing his second season at right guard and he with Farley Young as running mate, form such a defense as few high school teams are able to duplicate.
"Oak" is an optimist, as are most men of his build, and his cheery voice raay always be heard wherever you find him. Oakley is a Senior and will leave us at Christmas. We will be sorry to lose him_
Next Saturday he will take his place at right guard as usual, and then watch those Beatri.ce boys scatter.

For foe first time Ulis year our esteemed president graced the prcside::itial chair (piano stoo l ) That portion of the program which had to lEa ve ear ly was pe rmitt ed to infEct its measure of torture upon the au:'lien ce so Mary Brownell gave us a beaut:ful piano s olo, wh.ich was enjoyed by alJ. Then the class unaniE1ou ;:; ly dee i.Jed that we Yvou ld like to have Miss Ge re and Mis s Muir for our spo:1Sor s. for future ev nts were discussed, foe most imme'-iate one being a big af:e rnoon party to take place next r:ionth (th:'.s month when you read this) after class meeting. It's going to be in 32 6, so all you Seniors remember this date, Friday, Nov. 12. There's going to be a big time, so every on e come out. REMEMBER THE DA TE! Also remember, Seniors, that you can those nifty little '16 class pins from Myra Stenner. Don't let the other classes jolly yo n about that Spearmint sign because it's just the classist little pin that ever happened! Ain't it, now, Juniors, Myra (find out how to pronounce it, Shrimp) Stenner gave us some real music and some ra gt ime. Then , after rejoicing that Pete Bushnell was not there to carry out the part of the program assigned to him, and mourning the absence of two or three boys to keep Shrimp company, we adjourned, the motion, being ma.de by Lorene Graham. If you prefer any particular sort of ice cream for the next meeting just go around and tell Bjorkie abou t it ('Scuse me, I m e an for the party) and then come around and get some after class meeting.

Hoodoo is just about right. What better or worse combination for a l1oodoo could Beatrice have. The 13th and playing Lincoln, too. However, Beatrice is not a team to be Ci.efeate<J by hoodoos, and Saturday's game is bound to be a battle from start tn finish. Lincoln and Beatrice have 1Jeer. rivals ever since, and will to be for a while.
The Beatrice boys have been at work since two weeks before school began and are coming up here to get our scalp.
Well, Beatrice, we know something ourselves about scalps and may do a litlte on our own hook.

THE SQUARE-ROOT OF FIFTYFOUR.
Once upon a day so sorry, in the .Math 1•·nc; T'LY worry:
Recalling all the hours I had spent there by the score;
While I sat there sorely plexed, for my soul was nearly vexed
At the problem which came next, the square root of fifty-four; For to solve the simple problem with the square root fifty-four, Only this, and nothing more.
So I tried without abstraction, ev'ry number, ev'ry fraction; Ev'ry hidden figure that my memory had in store;
But it sems to be a fact, that my answers always lacked Or it was not quite exact to the square root fifty-four;
That my answer was not quite exact to the square root fifty-four. This I found and nothing more.
But at last my pride broKe down, and I made it humbly known; That to me its solving was as foreign · as the European war; Though somehow I can't quite see, through this tragic myster y, Of so small simplicity, the square root of fifty-four; Of such a simple mystery as the square root of fifty-four, Nameless to me forevermore. HOW ARD ADAMSON, '17.

BEATRICE GAME OFF
NO GAME SATURDAY.
Possibility of a Post-Season Game.
Beatrice cancelled h e r gam e w iC1 L i.,,.co ln on a c c o unt of the Lincoln team having be e n expos e d to smallpox.
Justin Sturm, the Lincoln fullt·ack, came do w n with smallpox · We:ln e sday night. He was not f ee ling w e ll at the t i m e of th e Omaha game, but played for fifty-five minutes.
Mr. Eun t er infm:m e d the B e atrice managem e nt of this and gave th e m the opportunity of cancelling the game. Although no indications or smallpox had developed in the remainder of the t e am, and in spi t e of the fact that there would be iitUe danger of contagion playing in th £! open, Beatrice cancelled the game. This l e ft Lincoln without a game Sa· turday.
Tried Grand Island
Wlien Beatrice cancelled her game Mr. Marshall called the Grand Island coach to se if arrangements could be mad e to play us the 13th. Grand Island, however, had a game scheduled and could not play.
Two Games Left.
Lincoln still has two games to play, One with York and one with Lane T e ch. High of Chicago. Both of tbese have strong teams and both are expected to be hard games.
The1 e are now three undef e ated t e ams in Nebraska. They are Grand J<>land , North Platte and Lincoln. All three will probably have a claim on the championship and there is a poss ibility of a post-season game to decide the question.
CAFETERIA KITCHEN OPENED.
Now in the New Quarters.
The Cafet e ria moved from the domestic science laboratory to their new kitchen last Saturday. This will rnake them able to serve better meals and quick r.
The equipment in the new kitchen is all mdoern and includes many iew labor saving devices. There is a large gas range wnn ten plates and two ovens for the cooking. Two sinks stand in the middle of the room and in one corner are the dish washing machines. A large refrigerator about six feet high holds the food that is to be kept over.
'fhe serving table just outside the folding doors, contains compartments for all kinds of food. These compartments are set in a kind of box which is kept hot by means of steam and hot water.
With all of these new appliances we are assured of a good, hot dinner,

BIG ASSEMBLY FRIDAY
STUDENTS ENTHUSIASTIC.
Band Aids the Singing.
Last Friday morning a dandy ass e mbly \Yas held. Everyone was in high s pirits in spite of the postponement of the Beatrice game.
The two cheer leaders, Harold W e bb and Elmer Kostka, took charge of th e assembly. With the band as a c companip:lent a number of the old songs were sung with great fervor.
Aft e r the songs came a little practic 0 in rooting. The noise was very feeble at first but a little practice improved matters. The Freshmen were very bashful and needed a lot of persuasion before a small volume of noise was for(hcoming. They finally did come forth with their voices and did very well in comparison with the remainder of the school.
Mr. Greenslit gave us a new yell to use at the Chicago game. This is it: Hay! straw! pumpkin, squash! Will we beat Chicago?
Well-by-gosh!
The band made its first appearnnce in chapel Friday and favored the assembly with some of their new pieces. Their efforts were highly appreciated by the students.
L. H. S. MIXER POSTPONED. ·
Thought best on account of smallpox.
The Mixer planned for Saturday night was postponed indefinitely. This course was thought wise on account of the cases of smallpox which have h ee n r e ported lately. The Mixer was intended to be a sort of celebration of beating Beatrice and the game being canceled dampened the enthusiasm.
The postponement of the Mixer was a disappointment to many. This event has been looked forward to ever since school started this fall. The students have been waiting for this jolly "gettogether."
The Patrons' Association was to have charge of the program and had planned for a rousing good time. 'I'he program will be good later, though, so the disappointment will be only temporary.
Possibly the Mixer wil be held some time after Thanksgiving as a celebration of the football season.

THOSE SENIORS.
At their last class meeting the Seniors were honored by having for the first time the newly-elected sponsors, Miss Muir and Miss Gere. The necessary business was finished and the party was in order. There were seven kinds of cake a.nd a program that was-well, that was a wonderful program. There were games, and the floor of 326 was voted fine for dancing. We extend our :-;ympathies to those poor people in 226, however, when the Senior boys moved the chairs to the walls. Some of the boys were afraid to go home in the dark, so the festivities adjourned by 5: 30 o'clock, but Leland Waters and Marion Mackey didn't get away with out much labor , for they swept the floor. Don't let the next class meeting slip by you, for it needs you. It sure does. I'm not jollying you. So long.

THE S H AK ES PEAR E $
The loyal advocates of the noted dramatist, Shakespeare, have been very busy the past few weeks selecting and electing competent officials to carry out the objects in view for •this semester. The following officers were elected:
President, Bonnie McGlas.son; treasurer, Margaret Perry; secretary, Lo is Cordner; editor, Lenore Hutchison.
' Also the stale members have pledged and initiated these honorable recruits:
Alma Tracy, Dorothy Trowbridge, Alice Babcock, Grace Sturr, Josephine Hyatt, Marguerite Linn, Margaret True, Helen Erb, Ruth Farquar, iel Allen, Vera McMullen.
Mrs. Perry very kindly offered her home and services for the jnitiation, giving the girls a lovely dinner afterward, for which they can never thank her enough. But the main part of all was the consent of Miss Alexander to be one of the sponsors for the next three years, and we now have Miss Short and Miss Alexander since Miss Humpe has borne faithfuly her three years of trials with wilful members Much she has done for us, and <J.eep gratitude we extend to her.

The school spirit is not as strong thjs year as H was last year. Th(-' students have gotten the idea that thP team can win every game wheiht-r they cheer or not. It is hard to deSC'ribe the feeling that the chee1 ing and the band gives the team, but it makes them fet-1 like tearing tnings up. The cht>ering at the Omaha ganw was thf' hest so far this sPason ancl W\' hope thP student body will cont inn\-' Uw good "·ork throughout the ;,t>;u;o :i.

The Freshman girls taking gy r: masium are awakening from a dream of Hs being a soft snap, for they find lhat they don't ever have 72 down to their credit in Miss Richards' grad(' hook.
J:'h0 gymnasium girls have not forgot ten that they are going to J>r. Stevens a card at Christmas if hC' gt>ts the apparatus for them that they want. We are certainly fond of dry land swimming, but we hope to l'ave the pool in a short time. A fee of one dollar will be charged for swimming ::vi b s Richards is also to have an assislanl teacher as soon as possib1P. Beware! Seventh and eighth periods are Miss Richards' cure for chewing gum.
Most of the teachers have takµn a great e r interest in football this year Some of them think the game is too rough, but it is not near as rough a s it loolrn. We are glad to see that llw tt>ach e rs are loyal to th0 school and learn.

There are probably a number who do not know what the Forum ifi, or rather, was. It was an organiz ation C'Ornposed of the thre<J boys' socict iefi the Ciceron ian s, Phogistons, and Pto lem i es, and any other boys who c hose to join
The purpose of the Forum was to further common social interests of tb0 sch ool.

Mrs Lillian Helms Polley gave a program of Old English and Shakesperian songs in th<> rn usical h i.s Lo ry class las t Wednesday.
The question of which opera , "Martha" or "T h e. Bohemian Girl" s hall b<> given, is still undecided.
The musical d epartment was greatly disappointed last week in that Mr. C. C. Birchard of Boston was unable lo be with us. Mr. Birchard is a well known music publisher of Boston and Lhe chorus us<>d in his of " fartha" and "The Bohemian Girl."
'rhe musical history class are havin g very interesting reci t ations. At present they are studying about the first or gans known to the rnorl<>rn world.
We are expecting great thing,; of our High School orchestra. Mr. St ckelberg has been doing good work with them and we hope t o hear them in the very near future.
What. has become of the Glee club? We miss it. If w<> can't have a g l e<> ,c lub there are sure l y enough voices Lo make a very good quartet.
There seems to be a sca rcit y of music in chap 1 la te l y So far t hi s year we have only had two or thrN' numbers. vVe ho-pe tl1at in the new building we can keep up the reputation for good programs that we havC' had in the past.
The band made a sp l endid showing at Omaha. We certainl y are prond or lhem.
Much interest is being showu in the peace pageant which wm be prpin the last part of t hi s mont h by the Patrons' Association. Thia is for th purpose of raising money for quipment.

G. D. S. NOTES
After chasing up several janitors to open the music room, the meeting was called to order by the president. Roll call and reading of the minutes of the last meeting followed.
A committee, with Florence Slater as chairman, was appointed to send for several short plays to work on this semester.
The p'ay, which was to have been at this meeting, was postponed till next meeting, as the practice for the Peace Pageant had interfered with rehearsal.
After taking the oath, the new members responded with three-minute speer hes.
After the business had all been transacted, the meeting was turned over to the program committee.
Pies and candies of every kind and description had been prepared, and dancing followed the "eats." Genevieve Detweiler was appointed chairman to arrange for a dancing party in the near future.

PHLOG NOTES
The Phlogistons, after many useless attempts to get into the building in o::-der to have a meeting finally h3.d one which proved to be the best this ye:n. Meeting opened with a lively drill which laste:l several moments and ende:l with a beautiful "duet" ( ! ! ??) sung by "Josephus"
Report of the dan:::e committee was heard from, and appro·ved. Hol Y Knapp disapproved the assessment imposed upon him, on the g:rounds tlia t somebody put ice :n his shoes an1 he had to go home in his dan ::: ing pumps. The debate of the evening, which was intended for the last meeting was r-iven The subie ' t was: "Resolved: That the United States should adopt the honor in state penitentia.ry." Affirmative, Hartman, Dahlberg; negative, Rokahr,
The critic: then gave h:s criti2isms on the debate, which were very good, considering that the critic was an inexperienced one. The decision of the judges was in favor o!' the affirmative It was a fine debate, although Kak Wynkc :::>P made an awful racket tryini?; to obtain order from (we wonder who).
The meeting is to be a "humdoodle" so all Phlogs be sure and be out. Show your loyalty, you "boneless yaps" and come around. Particularls of the meeting may te had by app"ying to the committee of "ten"-Bruce Raymond.
SKINNY, "The Pumys.tifyin:s."
CICERONIAN DEBATING SOCIETY
The meeting of the Ciceronians was honored by the presence of two expresidents-Earl Jeffrey and Howard Smith. As soon as "Skinny" succeeded in gathering the bunch together and persuading certain members to abandon their artistic efforts on the front board, the meeting was called to order. After a parliamentary drill, in which hilarity was much more in evidence than order. the debate was called for. The affirmative of the question, "Resolved, that military training should be instituted in Lincoln High school," was upheld by Gardner and Parry. Harris and Taylor had the negative. The decision was rendered in favor of the affirmative, 2 to 1. Our visitors united in declaring this the best debate of the semester, which speaks highly of the improvement of the fellows, especially of the one who made his maiden effort. After a manifestation of the ancient enmity of Phlogs and Cicies (largely confined to vocal efforts, however,) the bunch started out to patronize a "jit."

This is the third time Lincoln has met a Chicago team. In 1904 Lmcoln defeated North Division High. Supflrin t e nrlent Hunter n'ayed for Lincoln in that game. Then in 1912 Lin · coln defeated Wendell Phillips High. The Lane Technical lineup will b e as fo1lows:

be no snap for them. Lincoln received, and the ball see-sawed up and down the field, until the end of th o quarter At one time, York managed to get as far as the Lincoln twentyyard ·ine. and she tried for a field goal. hut L. H. S. seemed hav e th e advantage, but she was unto Rf ore. She was penalized fifte e n yards for holding
During the second quarter, Lincoln was again penalized fifteen yards Schm i dt broke his shoulder, and had to go out of the game. Brian was substituted for him, and he made good by running sixty-five yards for a touch: down, on his first play. Hank Andrews kicke :l goal making the score 7 to O. During the rest of the quarter, the ball see-s aw e d up and down, as before.
In th e t hird quarter, York kicked off to Lincoln, who fumbled, York rec overing on Lincoln's thirty-five yard line. However, York fumbled and Lincoln recovered, and charged 'steadil y dcwn the field. Just as we seemed 1.o be getting really started, we wer e p e nalized fifteen yards. About that time , Irving Chapin had his eye badly hurt, and had to go out. Neal was put in in his place Before the quarter • los e d , 1h o re wa s another penalty of five yards.
Had the fourth quarter lasted but two minutes more, Lincoln would hav e added to her score. York kicked off, and after the hall had see sawed up and down the field, Brian int e r ce pt e d a pa ss , but hurt his already weak so Bushe was put in his place. L u r oln then started steadi'y down th e fie ld , York offering little resistan c e u ntil th e ir fifteen yard line had rc a r h e d. Then she tightened up and he1d Lincoln from making such' long o-ains. Time wa s now precious and wh e n Lincoln had reached York 's 1.hree-yard l ine , with two downs in whi c h to make goal- the whistle nnd th o game was over. If w e had had but two more minutes to play, th e s core would have been 14 to 0, but the gam e undoubt e dly proved the sup e riority of the Lincoln team.
About two dozen Lincoln rooters on th e side Hues gave an exhibition of ye lling, that mad e the crowd of York roo ter s look like grade-school rooters . Yo rk was at least made aware or th e fa { t that Lin c oln had come to town.

THE DINNER BELL
The chorus has spent somC' of · the time recently, in preparing several <"l1oruses to sing during the dedication. The songs sung, will be better prepared and better rendered than anything the High School chorus has done
Perhaps a a s.tudent body, we do not show enough appreciation of our new surroundings and · all our modern conveniences, but allow these things to become obscure because we do not · like certain regulations or restrictions that happen to interfere with a few pet iHans of our ow11.

COUP.TESY
There are many things which go to;:--ether to make one's school an instii -·iion of which to be proud. Among E:cse perhaps, school spirit is the r:.·0g,test. It is the spirit of pushing 0 ;1 o's ideals forward, and boosting 11' i1gs of common interest to the s ch ool.
S ometimes the big things of school ;: s well as in life, overshadow the things which make the founda1·r n of the larger. One of these smaller 1 ' - ngs is, courtesy, which is one of the prime features in the making of a right kind of spirit. This is shown <F c ry minute of the day in the assembly towards the speaker by not interrupting with irrelevant yells, towards n' '1 questions or 1 queries strangers within our building and towards one's fellow s choolmates in the class rooms.
Whether courtesy is absent or present is more noticeable in school ath· letics. A recent example of this aspect ap eared at the Omaha-Lincoln game, rl' ere the greatest courtesy was shown to the visitors, even though thye represented a rival school. And though Lincoln were the victors, I think they showed courtesy a dignified demonstration of their victory, mstead of a noisy one , punctuated with rude rem a rks about those defeated.
So let us make our school spirit a better and truer one by remembering that genuine courtesy is- the foundation of a finer and broader school spirit.

OUR MR. MILLER
Among the innumerable things on our Thanksgiving list is one to whom we owe unlimited appreciation. Perhaps the most popular director in our midst is Mr. Miller, supervisor of music. His popularity is not only due to his congenial, happy way, but also to the actual creditable results he obtains in all that he attempts. Mr Miller's sincere work is reflected in the success of the operatic productions and in each individual of our school who comes under his direction. Tomorrow, as we count o'er the blessings, let us remember our leader for "Of all the arts, music is the one that lifts the soul above all earthly scrrows."

"THE SCOURGE OF THE MOUNTAINS"
·ThJ;l _ Bandit Jhonez wiped the tobacco j1Jice fro m his shiny black moustache and lit a new stoggy. He was 1 standing before the · mouth of .·. l).is in .the Pappata niplinfains and :betol·e him stood the notor-
ious c lown ; Count Du Boo, in a lo.na'na green riding suit.
"Will you consent to steal her," demanded the Count.
'Phe Bandi-'J- silently moved his opera llat over his bald spot and eyed his compan ion ·
"How-,; much -is in '.it," questioned Jllonez ., · _ • .··
'·Woll ; ,,l :ll say two thousand bones," i epliec1 Count Du Boo, taking out 2,000 tones in postage stamps.
This was all that was needed to r c:1vhce the " scourge of the Pappata ' · mountains," and so catching up half a automatic revolvers, he j\lµl"i1eu , on · his trusty "injun" · pony ;'l'uJ. ·' rushed away in a cloud of dust.
' If ,i," pl;:tgue or a cyclone had struck the little town of Dinkton it could not have caused more excitement t.han the s peedy en trance of Mr. Jhonez. Dash iI).g_ through the main street he reach &i/ the hole!, stopping only once, to choke- the major to death; then he galloped, all hurly and burly, into the court 7ard, shooti11g the cook anj the stable boy with the same bullet.
·Madl y he rushed into the house and. · the beautiful Zabolla from under the kitchen table. In a he \vas back into the saddle, her prone tody recklessly thrown across his shoulder and dashing away, hi s silken hair floating in the wind.
Like the wind he rushed up the c anyons, through the gorges and along many paths till at last he came to the secret '. retreat of his bloody v-ang. of which - he was leader Toi;;sing the girl into their midst, he 1ightnew stoggy.
"S'Death," cried the clown. Count Du Boo, "she i.s mine."
"No!" exclaimed the Bandit Chief, in a terrible voice. "She is mine,"
w. c. L.
and with' no hesitation he shot the Count throu gh tlie riding suit and lit ::t new stoggy.
· ;: A year has passed. The Bandit Chief having been joined to the beautiful Zabolla in sacred matrimony, has ' ,, ir0d fr m the hold-Ul) profession.
We find the "Scourge" of t h e moun'tains now inhabiting an installment plan bungalow, · with two payments due. Now he is known as simple Jones and runs a banana stand on Twenty-third street. After six bells he can be found in the kitchen of Number 19321h Shady Lane, emp loyed in washing the day's dishes, while beautiful 'Zabo lla ,, who has long since lost 'any suggestion of good .looks, sits in the front room reading "The Property Man's Revenge," which will appear next week.

It is remarkable that something comica l is once in a while necessary to provoke an appetite, and Shakespeare says, "A hearty laugh helpeth the digestion," but iu this instance the guests at the feast did more laughing th, n eating.
The blunders of Thanksgiving day r arvcrs are historic. A very amusing instance related to me sometime ago and whic:h I will attempt to te1l, is supposed to be true.
lt occurred some place in Connecti· cut. It chiefly concerns a spruce young lawyer, who led a blushing damsel as a bride from her rural New England home and returned with her to the hospitab le mansion of his father-inla w to enjoy the Thanksgiving day l'estiva 1 •
He was given the post of honor at the table and called upon to carve t ncr ord'ng to the time-honored New England custom). The turkey was overdone and somewhat tough. The spruce young lawyer struggled with it. but the baked bird refused to yield.
An enormous pudding- stood beside tho turkey p:atter and was in tlle l'l wyer's way. Finally he took up the pudding dish and placed it in his . hair. behind him, then renewed his attack on the turkey with double vi _
T-ns fa( o wns red with effort and e mbarrassment, his glasses steamed with perspiration - but still he
At last he made a tremendous effort and succeeded - in launching the bird on the other side of t h table.
"Ther e," h e said in despair, "now f'v done it! " - and sat down in the pudd i ng!
VIOLA
Mary Jan e's master is a slightly cc< cntric bachelor. He has one most irritating habit. Instead of telling her what he wants done by word of mouth he leaves on his desk, or kitchen table , or every vhere else where she is likely to see it, a note curtly directing her to "Dust the dining room," or "Turn out my cupboard," and so on.
The other day he brought some note
paper, with the usual die -sunk address imprinted upon it. from the stationer, a.1111 ordered it to be sent home.
Mary Jane took it in, and the first thing that caught her eye was a note attached to the package She read it open-eyed.
"\Veil," she said, "he's asked me to <lo a few things in his blessed notes, but this is the limit. I won't stand it n o longer." For the note read:
'Tio inside this package!"
Refrigerator Automobiles
Refrigerator automobiles have now ltppeared, for the delivery of milk al).d other foods. A western dairy is using such a car for carrying its products in quantity considerable distance over country roads. The body of the motor truck is of sheet steel in the form of a big ice box.
Three h undrecl pounds of ice is carried in a tank at the top of the box. The drippings from the melting ice go down through pipes, bent in such n way as to form shelves for milk bottles. The inside of the box is zinclined and charcoal packing between the zinc and steel saves ice.

STREET CAR SERVICE FOR L. H. S.
In the near future the Lincoln Traction company will give the Lincoln High School students better car service than at present. When the Antelope bridge is finished, the track will be laid. The completion will insure a seven minute service between Tenth and 0 streets and the High School building. The Traction officials, at present, do not see the need of this track. But they think that the cold weather , of the winter months, will force most of the students to use the cars.

A wise man said "He that ruleth his mvn spirit is better than he that taketh a city." Surely then one who is in control of the biggest influence ever brought to bear upon the development of nearly 10,000 persons within one institution is greater. That which is close to us in time or position is apt to be accepted with less appreciation of its realsize or power than if farther removed. People living near the Niagara falls wonder at the throngs which gather from afar to gaze at the falls. So we behold the person from a distant city with greater awethan a great man whom we meet every day. We see only the strength of his person whose fieid of work and whose person is seen only occasionally by us. This fact ought to make us better able to measure men For more than a score of years we have been associated with educational leaders. Based upon that observation, we thus publicly call attention of pupils and parents in the city of Lincoln to the fact that we have for our leader and superintendent one of the strongest men in the profession.
The Lincoln school system is undoubtedly as gocd as the best and better than the very large majority of city school systems, whether measured by the excellence of instruction in the fundamentals or by its adaptation to the various needs of the in divicluals and of the community. Every worthy idea expressed in the educatoinal world, which can render more efficient our schools in meeting those needs is appropriated, adapted, and incorporated as soon as feasible. The worth of the idea,-not its novelty or its age,-is its measure before being so incorporated.
Lincoln students and patrons, this is possible because we have as our Superintendent a very wide awake, energetic, courageous executive, supported by a Board of Education composed of most able and progressive men and women and aided by a splendidly trained and loyal teaching corps. But only through having as head a man who is politic, tact fol. forceful, wise in dealing with people,--young and old alike,-and above all one who has strength of character of body and of mind, a fine sense of relative values, and withal a clear vision of the best course and an indomitable will to realize the vision,--only because we have in our Superintendent, Mr Freel W. Hunter, a man of this type do we have so excellent a syetem of schools, and the promise of an increasingly better one.
Mr. Hunter's influence in the high school is pronounced. His magnetic personality, his free and easy manner easily give him the esteem and friend ship of students and teachers. His personal example as well as his counsel are recognized as having one motive; namely, the improvement of the school for the sake of giving every boy and girl in Lincoln the best preparation possible for truly successful living.
The enormous tasks of a thorough reorganization of the course of study and the finance system have been inaugurated by Mr Hunter which will be most far reaching and beneficial in results. With the weJl equipped new buildings, the new cou1·se of study and every teacher striving under direction of Superintendent Hunter to vitalize every lesson Lincoln cannot long remain below the first place among efficient school systems.
Surely we all are pleased at his hav.ing- b 0 en re-elected for a term of three years more and look forward with confidence to a remarkable expansion and continued improvement of our school system.

The cornucopia on the cover page of this issue represents the present in Lincoln High School. Never in our history has Lincoln High been standing on a higher plane. The completion of the new building opened for us a new era. Neither time nor money were spared in the erection of this marvel of modern architecture. Only the finest of building materials were used and the marble finished interior has no equal for beauty. Our equipment is as complete as that in any high school in the country, being modern in every respect.
The scholarship in Lincoln High has always been way above the average, and always on the increase until at the present it is "as good as the be st and better than the rest."
In athletics we far surpass all our rivals. Our record in the football season just past, places us on a level with the best. We feel that we have as good a claim as anyone to the National Championship.
In the debating and basketball seasons ahead of us, we hope to keep our past record clean, and keep Lincoln High School up to its present stan <lard.

When the plans for the new High School building were drawn, ample provisions was made for the establishment of a department of Fine Arts, in the big sky-lighted studio and exhibit galleries on the fourth floor.
There had been a demand for the instruction in art offered in the art departments of high schools of other cities, but under the crowded conditions prevailing in the old building, it was impossible to organize such courses. About one hundred students registered in September and some very interesting work has already been accomplished. The course for the first year is a general one covering the fundamental practice in free-hand drawing, necessary as a preparation for more specialized practice later, elementary practice in design and color, and practical problems in lettering. Domestic Art classes are offered a course in design directly related to the sewing room practice. The Normal Art class
course covers the best modern methods of teach .. ing art in public schools. With the practical problems, given the class for solution and devices offered for their use, it is hoped that those who intend to teach, may acquire an understanding of principles and methods sufficient to serve them adequately in the school room.
The classes have been organized and directed by Miss Martha Pierce, Supervisor of Art Instruction in the public schools.
Miss Pierce is assisted in the high school by Miss Freda Stuff.
Miss Pierce has studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Chicago, in the nude life classes, as well as specialized courses in public school meth· ods. Studied color theory at the Art Institution under Louis Wilson. Pupil of John Norton, in painting and out-door sketching.
Miss Stuff has studied at the University of Nebraska under Miss Sara Hayden and Miss Louise Mundy.

MISS CORNELIA FRAZIER, Cad et Miss PRIEST, Cadet
The aim of this department is to teach the High School girls to keep their bodies in the best possible condition in order to be strong enough to do the work that they are called upon to do every day. This is done through corrective, systematic and recreative gymnastics, aesthetic exercises, games and swimming.
The correct standing, sitting and walking positions, stair-climbing with least amount of wasted energy, proper care of skin, teeth and hair in relative use of water, are emphasized.
The girls in our school have the advantage of going "on the floor" five days a week, which is an exception to most large High Schools. In this way each of the two hundred girls now registered for Physical Training may get certain physical exercises every day she is in school.
It is not the same kind of exercise any two days in succession, i. e., perhaps on Monday formal Swedish gymnastics is given. This is the real corrective work given, tending to correct deformities such as spinal curvature, flat chest, etc. Perhaps on Tuesday fancy marching with music and a fo lk dance is given to the classes. Then on Wednesday German free body work, and Thursday aesthetic exercises for the entire body, which we have found is doing a great ' deal towards helping the growing girls overcome awkwardness and the feeling that they do not know what to do with their hands and feet. Friday is generally a day for real recitation, games, such as relay races, circle games with large balls and the more highly organized games of captain ball, basketball and indoor baseball.

Our beautiful swimming pool is used alternately by the girls and boys. Mondays and y\/ ednesdays and every other Friday the girls swim. One instructor takes a small number of girls of the clas into the pool for a swimming lesson, while the remainder take regular work on the gymnasium floor. The first two days of the week and then, on the girls' Friday, everyone may go into the pool du ring her period.
The School Board employs Dr. Inez Philbrick as examiner of' girls, so every girl in the department has the adyantage of a thorough medical and physical examination.
The work in this Department is purely elective, not compulsory for one or more years as in many High Schools throughout the country. One half credit is given for every semester of work satisfactorily completed.
The apparatus for our new gymnasium has not yet been installed, but we hope soon to have some of the light apparatus and as oon as posible the full equipment.

The purpose of this department, as the name implies, is to train our students to teach in the rural schools in Nebraska.
The requirements are such as to make the four years work heavy. In addition to the regular university preparatory work, there are the Senior Reviews, six major and five minors, and a year's work in methods, which each Normal Training student must take in order to graduate from this department.
In order to teach all these subjects teachers in the other departments teach many of the sub· jects such as English, Science and History.

No subject has ever gained a place more rapidly in the high school course of study than has agriculture. A few years ago people were inclined to laugh over the learning of such a subject from a text book or in a laboratory. Even the students at the university who made it a study were subjected to unlimited ridicule from the other students. It was commonly supposed that studying agriculture consisted largely of learning how to milk cows and curry horses.
The past ten years has seen a big change in sentiment. The majority of ebraska High Schools now teach agriculture and city boys and girls who once scoffed at the farm are now learning the fundamental industry of our state.
The Lincoln High School is well prepared to handle the subject, having a large class room and well equipped laboratory. The instruction is made as concrete as possible. Instead of merely reading about wheat and corn, the pupils work with the actual grain in the laboratory, learning the different types and grades. Knowing the different grains, it is easier to learn the methods of culture and the climatic and soil conditions requisite for their successful growth.
Soils are studied in the field, several of the most important types being found near Lincoln. These same soils are used in the laboratory so that the student gets a first hand knowledge of the properties of the soil in the vicinity.
A Babcock tester, for finding the per cent of butter fat in milk and cream, adds interest to the dairy work. After learning to operate the tester, opportunity is given the students to test samples of milk from home cows. As much attention is given to studying types and breeds of farm animals and learning how to balance rations <ts time permits.

Although most of the members of this ment are graduates of the University of Nebraska, they have continued tbeir research work in various colleges and univer itie , including Cornell, Chicago, University of lllinois , Columbia, and Berlin.
The aim of this department is to stimulate the student's fondness for good literature, and enable him to write and speak clearly, correctly, and interestingly himself. The measure of success attained may sometimes be questioned. A Linco l n lady who recently returned from Boston, said that there one never hears slang. She and her niece watching two little boys who, like themselves, were enjoying the sunset from the Esplanade. Finally the elder, a ragged little street urchin, turned to his brother and said: "Brother, should we not be turning our steps homeward?'' The lady turned in amazement and said to her niece, "What would a youngster in Lincoln have said?" But even in the face of the indubitable fact that Lincoln boys and girls do not speak or write irreproachable English and do not even choose for themselves books which shall be good companions for life, the English Department is still optimistic.
There are grounds for thi optimism. Three times in four years, Lincoln High School students have won the International peace prize in a competition open to schools in this and foreign countries. Besides this and other conspicuous honors noted by the whole country, students achieve distinction along English lines in ways that way not travel far beyond the walls of the High School. Students publish a newspaper, "The Advocate," of which the school is justly proud. In a word, there are students in Lincoln High School who write arguments that are really debated; songs that are sung; plays that are nlayed; and stories and poetry that are publ ished.
There are fifty students enrolled in Agriculture. At present the work is for one semester only. It is hoped that before long the interest manifested will be sufficient to warrant the extension of the course to four years. Page Nine

ATHLETIC ASS'N GIVES MIXER (Continued from page 1) their defeat most graciously. Dancing was the most prominent method of entertainment, with singi ng a close second. The Chicagoans favored the convocation with some of their school songs, which were rendered w i th great harmony. The crowd around the piano was so large that the dancing Wf:'S postponed for a while and sing1 ing, in general, took its placA.
Voices were hoarse from the r ooting at the game and, save for a few leather-throated individuals, the si n ging was short-lived and dancing was resumed.
This was the first Mixer of the year and was highly successful. About 300 were , present.

ARE YOU OBSERVING?
Sherlock Holmes once asked of his friend ·watson if he knev>' how many Rteps led up to his front porch. Wats on answered that he bad not observed a trifling thing.
' But. come to think about it, it is -::. b'l things that go to make up th r:' important Do you observe? Do you !rnow how many steps lead up to your rron i door? Do you kno-w how many h•1 tt orn are on your coat? If som e O ll C asked you , could ym.l tell the riay of t he week you wer P born ou: <'.r Hw e n 't y on ever looked over some old c alendars to find out? No, you will all · have to agree that you are not c: bserving:.
r know this is true of at least thr e 1 ' hundred high school students. a s proven to me by a slight incident las t week. Walking to school, I noticed that when I passed 8. certain spot on a walk near the school that the sun shone on a spot so that just for an i nstant in the autumn leaves could b f: seen a bright object. Looking closer I found it to be a dime.
I left it where it lay , an experimeu t. Each day for four days I passed t hat dime , going both ways, but no· body had seen it lying there in plain sight Three hundred students had passed that dime twice daily for four 1lays, making twenty-four hundred c hances towards finding it. At last, on tlw fifth day, I picked up the coin and treated myf:elf royally. God gave all of us good eyes. It is up to us to use t h0m in the best way possible. ObRerving has saved hundreds of lives. Observing be1ps us to learn. Ob:-;erving goes a long ways toward 1'eing Pxact and careful. Use your eyes and observe. NAINO RECICA.

LONG WORDS
Other languages have some pretty l ong words. but when it comes to giv:'.. ng them audibly we have some tongue twisters For instance there are "philoprogenitiveness ," :with twenty letters: ''interconvertibilities," with twoneyone; "disproportionableness," with twenty-three; and "transsubstantiationa.lists," and "contradistinguishability," containing twenty-four letters A.lthough these words are hardly ever H:3€'d, it is a good plan to know or riur longest words and learn how to pronC•lllH'C' them.

The Perpendicular Sort
There is a young man who came to Chicago but a year ago, who delights to "josh" his country relatives about the sights of the city when they come to town.
On one o c casion he was acting as chaperone for one of these relative s when the latter, who was gazing at the summit or th e latest skys<'raper , asked:
"What are those things sticking out from the sides?"
"Those?" Oh, those ar e mile posts. " said the Chicagoan.

LARGE NUMBER AT MIXER
Patron's Association Is Responsible for Success of Friday Night's Affair.
The mixer given last Friday night by the patrons' association proved to be a great success. Under the direction of Mrs. Ladd, Mrs. Chapin and Mrs. Watson, a reception committee was formed, whose duty it was to tag everyone and to mix the crowd.
In the auditorium were games headed by Mrs. Reese and Mrs. Trester. Some people proved themselves very graceful in scrambling for their chairs in "Going to Jerusalem."
The cafeteria proved a very popular place. where refreshments were served. In fact it was too popular, some neonle going there three times.
There was dancing in three-twentysix. The music was furnished by various hie-h school students. N::i one proved themselves graceful enough to fall on the floor, while demonstrating their ability to dance. The former hivh !".<'hool students entered into the activities of the evening with great zeal. At eleven bells everyone had to leave, all voting for another mixer.
JUNIOR PLAY CAST AT WORK

A number of the characters chosen had to drop out on account of their being unable to be in Lincoln during vacation. when the final rehearsals will be held. Others are not sure of being able to be present at rehearsals.
On aerount of this, the cast is still indefinite, but as soon as it is definitely !'l.P.ttlpil a list of the characters will be published.

In the past season. Brian, or "Bully" as most geri A rally known, played in nearly all of the games played by Lincoln. His open field running featured a good many of the games he was in. In the game with York, the hardest of the season. it was Bully's sixty-five yard run through a broken field that gave Lincoln their only touchdown. Brian is a good punter, and handles the forward pass in a sure way, in addition to being a clever runner and back field man. He will no doubt

North Platte had a very strong team this year, and it was expected that a posts a.son game would be necessary to settle the state championship.
Mr. Marshall proposed a post-season game with North Platte, but they de· clined. This leaves Lincoln with an undisputed claim to the championship.
MR. HEWITT QUITE ILL
Contracted Appendicitis
Mr. Hewitt, our instructor of English XIII, and also debating coach, contracted a bad case of appendicitis a couple of weeks ago. He wa.s very ill, and an operation was found necessary. After the operation was over he became a little better and is re· ported to be doing nicely.
' LAURENS MASON
Soph President
When Laurens Mason entered Lincoln High in 1914, little did we think that he would become a great man. However, he at once entered into activities in a way that showed his ability.
When it came time to elect a president this semester, the Sophomores looked back on last year to find the boosters. As Laurens was one of these boosters, they elected him president.
For twelve weeks now he has led the Sophomores with a strong hand, and marvelous things we have ben hearing of them.
One of the things that has helped Mr. Mason along is the splendid bunch of boosters he has in the Sophomores.
Then last, but not least, Laurens is a Ciceronian.
prove himself one of the best backs that Lincoln High has ever turned out. In the early part of last season Bully broke his collar bone, and was out of the game, but won his "R." In Brian we have good material for the basketball team, for he shines in this game. On the track he is a good runner, only a few can throw the disc as he. So judging from what we know about him, and from what we can expect, he is al all around athlete and good fellow. So here is good lnck. and best wishes, for Captain Brian.
Mr. Hewitt's illness will hamper the work of the debating squad somewhat, as their work was just well under wav.
The instructor who is taking Mr. Hewitt's place, has taken hold, however, and the squad is continuing its work.
All of Mr. Hewitt's students wish for his speedy recovery, as he is very popular with them.

SENIOR NOTES
The Seniors met in the librarv eighth period. Our president could not be present, so Vice-President Raymond took the chair. The report from the party commi t tee showed that we came out thirty-five cents on the right side of the hole. The program, which was to consist entirely of boys, could not be given on account of a change in the assignment of the room, so the chairman was alone among the loyal girls until two or three othc::r boys drifted in to keep him company. Mr. Mays also dropped in and dis c ussed a way of getting mor e S e niors out. He wants to know why those t hundred who claim their right to twentyfour credits in the morning manage to forget thorn by eighth period. To assist your memories, therefore, the next meeting will be held seventh pe· riod. Important business will be discussed which concerns everyone.
Now, all you w ho are wearing those classy '16 pins, be sure to turn out for the next meeting. If you don't have a pin, twenty·four credits will admit ·you So come anyway

FRESHMEN
The report of the play committee was not ready at the last meeting, so the hopes of the people who thought 1 hey could act were shattered. But <lon't think that we are not going to have any entertainment, bu t come anyway to the next meeting and find out about it. Our sponsor suggested that we bad better draw up a constitution an<l a committee was appointed for that purpose It seems to me tha t the people who come to meeting don't have very many suggestions. Yo11 clon't have very good class spirit, if you can 't c ome to freshmen meetings, nn<l when you do come sit there with· out sa y ing anything. Come on. all you freshmen, and let us see if you have any grey matter. Just at present it doesn't look much like it. Let's see H we can't have the biggest and best class in high school.

JUNIOR PLAY CAST NOW DECIDED
Selections Now Permanent
The cast of the Jnnior Play has now been fully decided upon. All the Juniors have been working hard on it and the play has begun to take shape. As the play will be given soon after vacation (January 7). it will be necessary to hold rehearsals during the holidays.
There is a great deal of anxiety about the lack of a curtain. The curtain from the class of '02, which hangs in the old high school is of course too old and worn to place in the new auditorium. The production of the play would be seriously hampered by the lack of a curtain.
The class of '15 was intending to purchase a curtain for the auditorium as their class gift, but for some reason decided to furnish an alumni room instead. As all the rooms in the high school are in use and there are two or three furnished rooms that could be turned into an alumni room at short notice, it is hoped that the '15 class will decide upon their original plan.
The cast for the play is given below:
Mr. Wm. Seabury Stoddard Robinson
Mr. Herbert Brownell Laurence Slater
Richard Seabury William Busche
Bob Kendrick Burks Harley
Billy Reynolds ... ..... Winfield El men

SENIORS
The 12 B's and 12 A's met together in Room 320. President Eestes presided and everyone there will tell you the meeting ' was a success. Important business was discussed and then the meeting adjourned. The program which was to be given by the boys was postponed nntil a later time. ·

JUNIOR CLASS MEETING
One of the livest meetings we ever had was held in 326. There was nothing formal or stiff about this class meeting. The regular procedure was abandoned and most of the time was spent playing games, the kind of games you played at your first party. Since Junior play practice was going on across the hall, a number were there rather intermittently, so to speak. Ice c ream and wafers were served and an impromptu dance was held.
Doubtless the unlucky Juniors who were absent will be stricken with re· morse, but there is no he'p for it. The only way to guard against such accident is to be at every meeting.

JUNIOR CLASS PINS
Juniors! This is in the natnre of a warning. Any bright and .Tun:or seen marching about the building' is in great danger of being taken for a Senior. Hearken and find out how to avoid such a tragic fate. Lest everyone starts looking for the spearmint pin on your manly bosom, you must be identified as a Joyal member of the class of 1917. All you have to do is to slip "Cheese" Lienburger sixty-five (65) cents and have your name registered as a real Junior. These orders must be in right away. Do it now. You'll get your pin soon GERALn MARYOTT.

A short business meeting was held in 326. A social time followed consisting of games, dancing and eats. We had a dandy time, and hope there will be another party soon.

SOPHOMORES
The best c·ass in L. H. S. met in I Room 426 last Friday, eighth period, and was called to order by President Mason. The following program was given: Several good numbers on the victrola by Lauder and Caruso; and two numbers on the piano by Katherine Grenke. Then the financial business was breught up, and it was derided to have every Sophomore, 10 B and l 0 A, pay 15 cents dues a semester.
The 10 A's will be oremitted to with the 10 B's, if they elect another sponsor and have their ciarn organized. Ten A's take up arms and hasten to the next class meeting, for class spirit demands it.
The International Olympic games will be held at the next class meeting, having been transferred to the Sophomore class. It's not everyone's privilege to see them, so all Sopho· mores take advantage of this opportunity.

Basket Ball
A certain crepe-hangers have been teLing how we are going to get beaten at basketball this year. But cast on eye on this material and judge for yourself. To begin with we have "Pitz" Schmidt. While he probably will not be with us for the last games, his experience and knowledge of the game will be of vast help in assem· bling a winning team. Folks who are mourning for Ed Albrecht, lc0k at Harry Brian and his record on the gridiron. Since he and Dewey C urti s are out for center that position need ca use no more worry. Two more of our football prodigies, Bowers and "Jap" Neal, are making good ::i.nd can probably be relied on to fill
Then we have an Albrecht. It wou:dn't seem like a Lincoln team unless there was at least on Aibre 2ht in the lineup. "Hank" is about as good as his big brothers, and that's going a few.
From last year's reserves, we have Ray Smith, Cypreansen and George Bright. With a bunch of material like this on hand, the prospects are anything but gloomy. But about Schoeder. Heaken, folks, to thE:: glad tidings.
Herman will be with us to take part in the latter part of the season, which means if he is up to form that we will have one of the best guards in the state. But as I was saying be.fore that happy thought about Schroeder struck me, with that material and the coach that \Ye have we surely are going to have a winning team. The schedule for this year is one of the stiffest we have played yet. The schedule follows:
Jan. 8-York at Lincoln. Jan. 15-Cmaha at Lincoln. Jan. 22-Beatrice at Lincoln. Jan. 29-Lincoln at St. Josep!L Feb. 5-Geneva at Lincoln. Feb. 8-Uuiversity Place at Lincoln.
Feb. 11- Lincoln at Sioux City. Feb. 19-Lincoln at Omaha. Feb. 23-Lincoln at University Place.
F'eb. 26-Lincoln at Beatrice.
March 3-Li11co'n at Nebraska City
March 9-11-State Tournament.
For two years we have come out first in the tournament. It wouldn't do to lose it now. With these prospects for a team it's ridiculous to think about losing. We're going to win if the students help. You may think you don't like basketball as well as football, but you ought to go and see. There's something hanpening·

GIRLS' ATHLETICS
Christmas party for the Gym girls? Let us hope these rumors are not false and we will have on grand gettogether meeting for all the Gym classes. If it's up to last year's Christmas party, it surely will be worth coming to.
The captain ball try-outs will probably come off Thur::iday, December 16 , but nothing definite has been announced.
We are all waiting patiently for the water in the tank to warm up so that we can go in swimming real soon, and we will have nothing more to ask for when \ve get to playing basketball.
'Ve hope they will take pity on "Ye Young Freshie" and let you come to the Christmas party, too.

ARE YOU AN EGOTIST?
Do the students of Lincoln High School think more of themselves than of others?
If we wonld try bossing Johnson fer a while, we would overcome this form of selfishness or conceit to a great extent. lf you try this experiment, th ink nothing, er as little as possible of yourself and more, may I say, most, of others yon will find this to be u 11ovel as well as pleasing experience. A good time to begin this trfal is the Twenty-Fifth of Deceipber. Has any one ever thought cf the reason for giving at the Christmas tide? And are we f·ellow-stud ents so far on our road to perfec tion that we have forgotten tLrn original Christmas 811irit Ne 1 I'm sure all members of cur High School would pronounce this an unjust sentence, although in rrost of us this spirit bas been asleep. But let's awaken this Christmas'. Do a real good and relp some poor fellowrPan to look at Christmas in a happier light.
FTNELY.
DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOP PING EARLY
''Do your Chhstmas shopping early."' This sign stares out at us from every nook and corner, en the freq11entccl bighways and in the stores. 011, the poor people of the twentieth century, signs of ad \'ice seem to confrcnt them at everv turn, but none tti.at we shonlLl c bey to the letter than-''Do vour Christmas shopping early.'" Think how many homes are represented by clerl;:s.
TIIE AD\'OC'ATE
postmen, expressmen, in fact all gdvernn1 ent employees, to say nothing of the shoppers themselves. All of these people are influenced by what we as individuals, do at Christmas time cerning ci1r shopping. Because of the spirit of the seascn, which signifies extra work and shopping, a rush necessarily will be on. Since this is so, how much pleasanter ti would be to go forough the ordeal two weeks before rather than two days?
Having the rush ever. the world can catch a breath or two before tlle day itself arrives, aad have time to collect its scattered senses. This woulll wean comparatively rested and happy husbands. wives 1rnd children ready to pal'take in the Christmas pleasures.
On the other hand, when shoppers, clerks a1id post cffice employees work th2 dawn d Chr:stmas day itself, we find grouchy, tired, unappreciative people dragging their weary feet the Holicay.
Eac11 one of us has our influence with the people 'Ne come i;i contact with either for goccl or bad. Why net throw our rower and in ':luence on the good s'.de which has for its rnctt:'> ·'Oth ers ·· ? '
WHITE GIFTS
As Christmas draws near, our hearts are filled with the s1Jirit of giving. Every year thcusands of the unfortunates are P1ade happy through the thouglitfnlness of others who are bettPl' supplied.
If you have not before joined wit11 these. do >O. and bave the delight oi' knowing that you have made someone happy. the needy are ·not all iu but here in our own city. Family after family know ChristmaR merely as a day of distinction. Find a needy family and see what pleasure you receive in supplying t mm wifo a real Christmas Q.inner.
Every the churches an'.l other organizations supply many unfortunate families for instance: the Elks Club in recent years bas bad a Christmas tree for the poor children which has been gre<itly enjov2c1.
Even if you are not able to supply an individual dinner. contribute some( hing an cl ''join in the spirit of t'hrist1nas.''
WHY IS AN EDITOR?
Doubtless this question haB nccm·r2r1 to rnan;1-· ;1 student cf Lincoln High. Really, what is be good for? Whv. to write the Advocate, of course. lierc the aforenientioned stndents make a vast mistake.
The editor is supposed t-1 arran2e fop. material wbir:h the students tribute. Sc far this semesto 1 • the Advccate box has been anything but swamped. The Advocate, gentle reader,
is· the 1Japer of the students. The stn·· dent bcdy, as a whole is supposed to support it, contribute to it and make it all that a Lincoln High paper should be. This standard is impossible witbcut the be::trty co-cperation of the student body. How many times a week do you come acro·ss a bright •remark or a· witty bit of verse? Send it to the Advocate and help us all along. There are several contributors along this line whose work bas been notably good, but yon can do as well. There

When James A. Garfield was president of Ocerlin College, a man brought for entr,ance as a student his son. for whom he wished a shorter c ourse than the regular one.
"The boy can never take all that in," said the father. "He wants to get through quicker. Can you arrange it for him?"
"Oh, yes," said Mr. Garfield. "He can take a short course; it all depends on what you want to make of him. When God wants to make an oak he takes a hundred years, but he takes only two months to make a squash."

Old Aunt Sally, the highly esteemed cook of a southern family, was frequently praise1 for her culinary skill. On one O'.!casion when guests had dined with the family,a remark was made concerning the beautiful apof Sally'e pie, which showed a very pretty "scallop" around the edge; inquiry being made as to how the old lady managed to get such an even design. Sally was summoned to the dining room and the question was put to her.
The emotions of the guests may be imagined when the lady replied: "Oh. dat's easy; I jest uses mah false teef."

ANNUAL SLOUCH SUCCESS
Seniors in Holiday Attire Give Vaudeville Program-Supper at 6:30, Followed by Dancing
The last Friday before vacation, the Seniors gave the annual Slouch Day program in assembly. This opportunity of giving a "costume" program is given to each Senior class, late in the first semester. On the day, the program is given, all Seniors are permitted to appear in su c h garb as they see fit to acquire.
This year all sorts of original costumes were in evidence. Cannibals, negroes, Indians, farmers, little girls, little boys, "brute men," and other personages were faithfully repres ented. Alarm clocks, ratt 1 es, whiste 1 s and gum appeared in abundance. These, combined with the brilliant hued costumes. made plenty of noise for the assembly.
The program was delayed somewhat the excitement of the occasion, but once started, all went smoothly.
"Pitz" Schmidt and "Oak" Cox, as Romeo and Juliet, sang a very melodious duet in the greatest harmony, as the opening number. Following this was a "Charles Chaplin" movie. featurin g Harold Litton as Charles, and Farley Young and Florence Slater as "Mammy" and "Chile."
After a dance by the three Canniba' s, Earl Colton, Leland Waters and "Pitz" S nhmidt , a bur·esque on "Neal of the Navy" was given. Olive Me::i.ds, Leslie Wiggins and Oakley Cox appeared as heroine, hero and "brute man."
The last number on the program was the "Punkville Band," which rendere l most patb.etic strains and harmonious discords.
In the afternoon and evening, the Seniors continued their festivities with games and dancing.
LINCOLN, NEB., JANUARY 6, 1916
At 6: 30 o'clock supper was served in the Cafeteria to the hundred or more merrymakers that were left. \Vhen the dishes were done, all adjourned to the gymnasium and sewing rooms for games and dancing. 'I'he day had been a strenuous one. so the party broke up about 9: 30 o'clock.
SEMESTER EXAMS APPROACHING
Only One Week of Preparation Left.
The final examinations will start about the twentieth day of this month. They will occupy the remainder of that week and all of the next. That leaves only one week of time during which the students may determine just how much information they have gathered in the semester just ending.
As is usually the case, a large proportion will doubtless discover that
MARJORIE McGH EE
Miss McGhee is the leading lady in the Junior play, which occurs tomorrow night. Marjorie entered Lincoln High last September and immediately became prominent in class affairs. As a part of her duty as a loyal Junior, she took it upon herself to try out for the Junior play. Coach Davis, whom the .Juniors were fortunate enough to se cure to instruct their wou ·d-be actors, recognized budding talent by giving her the lead. In sele c ting a leading lady, good looks are often the prime consideration, but in this case, dramatic ability was also a consileration. Marjorie has been fortunate in having the opportunity to play with a cast of unusual ability. title role is filled by Burkes Harley. This part is very important to the success of the play and is being tilled to the satisfaction of every one concerned. The play gives Doris Cole an opportunity to display her musical talent. Another interesting part is that of Louis Friend, the office boy.
The caste is large, but they have their work well in hand, and if hard work, talent and the best obtainable coach will produce a good play, this one is going to be a glorious success.
the amount is disconcertingly small. Then will ensue a few days of that favorite school occupation, known as "cramming," whereby a frantic effort is made to ward off the direful effect of a low examination grade.
REGISTRATION THIS WEEK
Time for Consultation Given-A Fee Will be Charged for Changes
The registration for next semester took place today. A part of the Home Room period the previous days was devoted to discussing the possible courses to pursue during the last half of this year. At previous registrations no time was set apart for the discussion of the courses until registration day. Thus no time was given for due consideration, or consultation with parents. This time the conditions were much improved and the majority of the students had definitely determined what studies ' they would take, before the registration took place.
At the beginning of each semester the office is beset with from 300 to 500 requests for changes. Some of these are justified and some are not, but the office, being unable to discriminate, must treat all alike.
This semester no changes will be allowed after January · 7, unless good reason is given, and also a fee will te charged for all changes after that This arrangement, it is hoped, will do away with the registration difficulties at the first of next semester.
The registration today went more smoothly and with less confusion than at former times. This improvement speaks well for the administration, as registration is a difficult problem to handle.
CHRISTMAS VACATION OVER
Students Return to Labors.
Monday morning at 8: 30 school again opened after two weeks of vacation. From the looks on many faces it might be surmised that some were loathe to leave their merrymaking. Those who were ambitious enough to take books home, for the sake of keeping up a-ppearances, appeared with their burdens, covered with the dust which had settled upon them during the two weeks they were neatly stacked in the corner. Many spent Christmas out of town, visiting with their relatives or friends, anl consequently failed to get here in time to get their lessons for Monday.
By Tuesday the majority of students had settled down to work, thinking hopefully that it really wouldn't be very long until spring vacation. The vacation which had been looked forward to so long has become a memory. There was no temporary staff for this issue of the Advocate. Mr. Hewitt's English XIII class was to have taken this issue, but Mr. Hewitt was ill and his substitute was not informed of the duty until it was too late. Part of the material was obtainel from Miss Putney's English I class.

BREAKING DISHES
A crash and a sound of tinkling · glass greets o u r ears nearly every day in the Cafeteria. Freq u enUy we hear it two or three times in one lunch period. V\'ho is it that has such butter-fingers. Of course, we had all better "knock on wood" so that we can be on the safe side We realize that those trays are sli p pery things, but we think that by this time those ,, ho buy their lunches should be adepts at balancing a tray. It would prove interesting to know ho\V many pieces have been broken since the Cafeteria was opened.
Here are a few dont's which may help:
Dont' start up in a hurry with a tray full of dishes.
Cont' look all around you . but attend to your own business.
Dant' cause olher people to breal{ pieces by being hasty.
A very important quest i on is: "vVho pays for the broken pieces?" Think this over a n d be more careful in the n ar future.

LINCOLN OUTPLAYS YORK FIRST GAME OF SEASON IN
York Inferior in Every Department of the Game.
Lincoln ' s baske t ball season started Saturday night wi t h a v i ctory over York , by a s c ore of 25 to 12. Though it has ' been fr e el y prophesied that Lincoln would la c k its customary strength this s ea son, nevertheless York was clearly outplayed from the start.
Lincoln's gre at advantage came from team work. Most of their scores came from short thro w s . York failed to work the ball close to the goal often enough to be dangerous. The team showed plent y of aggressiveness and kept t h e floor covered pretty well _
The fea t ure of the game was a basket from the c e nter of the floor by Brian. This pla y brou ght an enthusiastic burst of applause from the stands Henry Albr e cht w as the highest individual S" orer.
Judging from this game and from the amoun t of material on hand we sho11ld have a v e ry successful season With t w o regulars back, both playing in their o l d form, the prosoects are getting mor e promising. The substitutes wbo w ere put in during the close of the game showed up well.

MR. J. J. MARSHALL i ,.... Vice-Principal L. H. S. :j:
Mr . J . J. Marshall is the Vice- i :J: Principal of Lincoln High School. i + He has been with the school for · -t· i five c,r six years. :j:
+ Mr. Marshall studied in Michi- + *if gan, which is famous for its
He holds a Ph. B. from Albion College (Mich i gan) and an A. M. from the University of Michigan After teaching for a number of years in Michigan, Mr Marshall received the appoint+ ment of Vice -Principal at Lin- :i: :t coln High School.
+ Mr. Marshall's duties are ;• :j: many. Besides being an instruc - ; tor in Physics for two periods of
i the day, he manages the finan:t cial affairs of the school. This + + involves a number of dut i es. In + + his office , room 100, are kept all + I
.. the books that are used jn the 1·.· + school. All business connected with the books losses, trans'fers and assigning, is transacted thru his office.
Athletic manager is another position enjoyed by the Vir.ePrincipal, and athletics in Lincoln High have prospered under his management. Nor do Mr . Marshall's duties end with the day, but extend to the night classes. Taken all in all, we owe a great deal to this busy man, who is always working for the success of Lincoln High
JUNIORS SCORE BIG SUCCESS IN "THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY."
First Attempt of the Class of 1917 F resented Friday Night.
The Junior Class presented "The District Attorney" to an appreciative crowd last Friday night. The crowd took kindly to this production, which is the first regular play the class has attempted The topic treated was interesting to the spectators, and the mingling of comeay and melodrama kept the patrons interested thru three acts
The work of Bill Bushe appealed es pe c ially to the audience, doubtless !Je cause it appealed to the troubles, ho1)es and fears of so many.
The title .role was filled by Burks Harley: This was a very difficult part , and Burks deserves a great deal of credit for the efficient manner in which it was handled.
The part of the leading lady was filled by Marjo:de McGhee, and her work was universally recognized to be of the highest class.
Doris Cole played opposite Bushe and carried the part with her wellknown charm. Her part was especially noticeable for the singing in the last act
Stoddard Robinson and Oswald Black as crooked politicians successfully handled some difficult character study
Lawrence Slater made a fine newspaper reporter .
A very amusing part was that of Winfield Elmen, a love·sick Freshman.
The less important parts were very ably filled and contributed no less to the success of the play than the more important ones. In every case the part was well fitted to the person who took it. This was especially true of Louis Friend, who scored a great hit as Jimmy, the officeboy
A great deal of credit is due to the coach, Serle Davis, of the university faculty. Much of the · success was due to his judgment in picking players suited to the parts

FAMOUS READER TO ENTERTAIN L. H. S.
'l'he Katharine Oliver-McCoy entertainments, which are to be given next Monday and Tuesday evenings, are under the auspices of our Patrons' Association. The proceeds will be applied on the pledge to pay for the furnishing of the cafeteria. School tickets will be 25 cents. Adults, 50 cents for one evening or 75 cents for the two The Monday evening program will be the comedy called "Kittie McKay, " which is said to have a la ugh in every line.
SOPHOMORES
We Sophomores are going to amount to some t hing. Proof: take for example a perfect specimen of an American Beauty rose-first a tiny green bud, insignificant among the sp : endour of flowers all about it; then gradually unfolding and revealing its beauty, and growing in importance among the other tlowe.rs, until it bursts open in all its glory, and far excels all th others.
That is like the Sophomore class last year, a GREEN, apparently insignificant organization, but this year gradually unfolding and re.vealing its importance (if not beauty) and soon to "catch up" with, and xcell ail other classes, until its fame. is spread abroad, and marveled at by more. inferior organizations.
Our last class meeting was held in the. music room Friday, eightl1 period. The Olympic games were witnessed and enjoyed by all. Mari Movius gave a vocal solo, and after more games , the class adjourned. All out to the next!
RUTH OBERLIES, Editor.
FRESHMAN CLASS MEETING
The Freshman class meeting was held in room 326, Friday afternoon. The class organization was completeu by adopting the constitution and by · laws, and we are now ready for very enthusiastic meetings next semester. The only way to have good meetin g, ,,, is for all to come and take an i11terest. A reading with musical accompaniment was given by Flore11c•1 Zimmerman, which was followed by a piano solo by Robert Wolf. All present pronounced this meeting the best yet.

The end of the first semester in our new building is near at hand. Soon will come the examination and the end of a semester.
The Advocate has trled and, we hope, has succeeded in giving the students of Lincoln High the best high school weekly that c..ould be turned out. The present staff has enjoyed its work this semester to the fullest extent. Aside from the pleasure gained, che staff has learned many things. First it learned to read proof, then how to kill type-lice, after that how to make up a dummy. It has become especially efficient in the art of making explanations for articles omitted from the pages of our weekly sheet.
The students supported the Advocate sp 1 endidly this last semester, as is shown by the enlargements we have been able to make on frequent issues. We, the staff, wish to thank you for this support as we bid you farewell in our last issue. We hope that you will continue to support the Advocate next qemester fully as well under the new "taff
MUSIC NOTES
The L. H. S. banrl and orchestra have begun work for 1916 whh muf"e 1han ever.
The Junior orchestra under direc1 iou of Pearle Oldt. '17. itf' first appearance in chapel, Tuesday morning, January 4; it appeare:l again ln the Junior Play Friday evening. Why not all classes follow suit? There is 1:rnrely plenty of musical ability.
THE ADVOCATE
The chorus is making fine he::i.d-way and promises a program that will make Lincoln High School famous when the Association of Musical Supervisors meet here in March.
The Victorola which has former:y been exclusively used by the department of music, is now enlivening bo;;t English and German classes. A number of new re - ords are orjered, which will more closely correlate music witu literature.
ART DEPARTMENT
wonder how many of you know that there are thirty-four students t<tK ing regular art work in two periods a day with one credit a semester an 1 that sixty-eight girls are registered i.;1 domestic art with one lesson a week :'he general purpose of the a:-: partment is to discover and tnin the talent of the pupils and to guiie them in matters of taste. The first yeg,r c'asses aim to acquire skill in drawand knowledge of the materials used in artistics expression.
Through the generosity of the artist, pupils of the art classes have acquired an original sketrh in oi 1 by Robert Guilder, an Omaha artist. Mr. Guilder is quite a talente:l man, being besides an artist, the state editor of the World-Berald and a colIPctor of f'J.:isils. He has a very fi11 c: colle-:tion ot fossils whirh is house:l in the city 'ibrarv in Omaha. Arnngemen':s haye been made by the University Art Department to exhibit some of his vorks, in the near future.
Some of the students' work is on exhibi 1 in the studio every day anll the art department always likes vbitors
Alexander
There was a chap who kept a store And though there might be grander: Le so1d his goods nor asker for more, And his n:ime was Alexan:'ler.
He m 'xed his goods with cunning hanli. He was a skillful brander; And since his sugar half was sand They called him Alex Sander.
·He had his dear one; to he; c.;arne. Then lovingly he s-anne:l her· He asked her she change lib' name?
a ring did Alex -h::rnd-her.
"'Oh . yes." she said, with smiling lip, "If l can be commander," And so they framed a partnershii., And ea! ed it Alex-and-her.
"Why do they call 'em 'fountain' pens? I should say 'reservoir' would be a better name, a reservoir contains liquids and a fountain throws 'em around."
"I think fountain pen is the proper name," replied the party of the second pair.
"\\That is the differen - e be'.:.ween a. cat and a comma?"
"A cat has its clause on the end of its paws, a comma has its pause at the end of its clause."
He Was Helping
A man, whose son is a student aL Princeton, has had frequent occassiou to remonstrate with his boy to:iching on his extravagance. In his last letter to his son, the father, after th e usual recital, stated that he was forwarding a for $50, and ende:i with, "My son. yo·1r studies are costing me a great de1.l."
To this the hopeful, in his next letter, repl:ed:
"I know it father, and I don't stu::l.y ...-ery hard either."

He Took I for Leaks
The Amateur Gardener: "My garden is· getting awful dry."
The Humorist: "How do you expect it to hold water when you planted leeks in it?"
The Absent-Minded Great Sydney Smith cites an instance of absence of mind which struck his fancy:
"I heard of a clergyman who went jogging along the road till he came to a turnpike.
"'What's to pay?'
" 'Pay, sir; for what ' asked the turnpike man.
" 'Why, for my horse, to be sure.'
THE ADV:OCATE
"'Your horse, sir? What horse? There is no horse, sir.'
"'No horse? God bless me," said he, suddenly looking between his legs, 'I thought I was on horseback.'"
Settled
Mr. Jones: "I think I'm going to have appendicitis."
Mrs. Jones: "Ob, you are? Well, I think I'm going to have a new hat, and your appendicitis can wait.''
Fire-y Steeds
Adown the frosty course he speeds On wings of wind and ringing steeds , Of ruts ahead quite unaware Until his fiery steeds do rear.
Too late he cries in mortal terror, "Alack, I've made a glaring error."
Kind reader, pause; the moral solemn, Skate slow and save your spinal column.
The Remedy
Dr. Monk: "H'm. No appetitecan't eat a thing, eh? Diet on tacks and small nails and take a magnet before each meal.
The Old Man's Opinion
"I told papa your poems were the children of your brain."
"What did he say?"
"Said they were bad enough to be put in the reform school."
Their Romance
When "Romeo and Juliet" Together they read through, It seemed she was a Capulet And he a Montague. And every new or old, They found themselves withinHe always was the hero bold And she the heroine.
"When Knighthood Was in Flower"she Was Mary Tudor then. And he, with Brandon's chivalry, The hero once again. By turns she was a happy inaid •. Or damsel all forlorn
B yturns he was a dashing blade· Or butt of some one's scorn.
And so it went, their small romanceHe changed from slave to prince. And she from grief to glanceBut that las long, long ago. Today they, married, sit and read Within their inglenookHe to his bank-book gives his heed, And she to "How to Cook."
On Deck
Miss Shadyside: "But why do you go out of your course to stop at the nearest port, captain?"
Captain: "Madam, I want a mate."
Miss Shadyside: "Oh, c-a-p-t-a-i-n, this is so sudden."
Needed Strength
Young Wife: ' "I am surprised to have a strong man like you ask bread of me."
Weary Wanders (with dignity): "Madam, if I were not a strong man I should not ask for your bread."
The First Law of Nature
First Cucumber: "I say, what the deuce are you getting into that pickle for?"
Second Cucumber: "Merely as a matter of self-preservation."
A Proud Mother
Dr. Waydown Jackson: "'Peers to me laik de boy dun got acute indegeshun."
Aunt Lucy (smiling through her
tears): "Dat's it, doctah. Dat boy, sick or well, dun eb'ryt'ing cute."
The Difference
Philanthropist: "Poor fellow, you
say your wife never comes to see you? That makes my blood boil."
Prisoner: "And it would make my blood freeze if she did, lady. I'm in here for wife murder, you know."

Why He Cried
The little boy came out of the room in which his father was tacking down a carpet. He was crying lustily
"Why, Tommy, what's th e matter? " asked his mother
" P-p-papa hit h -h-his finger with the h-h-hammer," answer Tommy
"Well , you should not cry a t a thing like that," said his mother " Why didn't you laugh?"
" I-I did ," sobbed Tommy

The storm was over. The captain for da y s had gone almost without sleep. He asked an old Irishman to take the wheel while he w e nt below to get some rest.
" Steer for that star,' ' he said , poi n ting to a brigh t light ahead
" Aye , aye , sir,' ' said the Irishman
A little later he began to dose and was soon asleep. While asleep the boat turned around , so when the Irishman woke up and saw the star behind him , he ran down to the officer ' s

Patsy in the Tiger Cage
"No,'' said the lion-tamer to Flannigan; "you can't have a job to l()ok after the animals; but our pet lion died last week, and we've kept the skin, so I'll give you two pounds a week to dress up as the lion."
"Two p ounds," echoed Flannigan. "Good gracious, is there so- much gold in the world? Right, sorr."
So Patsy dressed up as the lion and lay down in the cage. The menagerie doors were opened and the performance commenced.
"Ladjes and gentlemen," said the keeper: "to show the won<lerful docility of these animals, we will now place the 1 ion in the cage with the tiger."
"Man, are ye mad?" whispered Patsy. "Think of me woife and children."
· "Get in." reolied the keener: "or I'll run this through you."
Patsy <'rawlei into the tiger's ,.age. a.nd when he saw the animal's biJ.?. feror.ions eyes fixed on him he uttered a ilolefnl wail and cominen<'ed oraying in Irish.
The tiger over to him, and p::i tsy beq ril the from the tig-er's mouth: "Shut up, man, ye needn't be afraid: I'm Oirish meself."

He Knew the Lawyer
The old lawyer had just started in to lick his young brother on the other side, and had been withheld by the sheriff.
The judge leaned over the bench and began, "Although Mr. Smith is an old friend of mine, the dignity of the court must be sustained, and he has been in contempt. I therefore fine him ten dollars."
"Your honor," said the old lawyer, rising, "it grieves me to pay this fine. Your honor and I were boys together; we fished in the same streams; we swam the same pools, and in the old brick school house we together submitted to the teacher's rod. Your honor has been more fortunate than I. Your honor has a high and responsible office, while I am still a poo-r, struggling lawyer, who hasn't even the money to pay this fine. I will therefore have to ask your honor to lend me the ten dollars that I may pay my fine and clear my name."
The court cleared his throat. "The state of Illinois can better afford to lose ten dollars than the court," he said; "the fine is remitted."

BEATRICE VANQUISHE D IN FAST GAME
Twenty-nine to thirt( en :c tory for Lincoln.
A basketball team from the town on the Blue met defeat Saturday ni ght at the h:i.nds -of the Lincoln five with a. :f.nal score of 29 to 13 The game was fast thrcughout but the la st half lool1: €'d a Wtle iop sided. "Hank" Albrecht of t h e famous Albrecht family , of baske t ball tossers, was th3 highest i.ndividu!ll scorEr and did some spectacular work as right forward. "Bully" Brian made the first goal for L:ncoln after a few seconds of play but things we re fairly even f.or t he first fiteen minutes.
Th e first half ended 17 to 9 with Linccln le ading and 'Coach Greenstreet put in several substitutes to start the second half. The ou tc ome was clear when the lad half s tarted and Beatrice -c1ould do nothing to mend her score. When the last whistle blew eleven Lincoln men had participated. The work of most of the substitutes was espec'ally commendable., Albrecht, Brian and Schmidt did most of the scoring but the whole team w orked well together.
Lincoln High's basketball team was defeate d by Central High of St. Joe last Saturd a y evening by a score of 32 to 21. The game was well played and the Lincoln quintet fought desperately all the Spratt, the lengthy center of Central High, played all over the floor and was easily the star of the game. "Hank" Albrecht also pbyed a stellar game and made some sensational goals, especially in the seco n d half. The score at the end of the first half was 21 to 10 in Central's favor . Although both sides made several wild throws in the second half, the game was marked by good floor work on both sides.
Lincoln High has shown how it can stand by a winner and it now remains to be seen how the student body will support a team that has lost two hardfought games. Such support will show a true loyality to the team and the school.

The Class of '17 has just closed another successful semester; this is getting to be a habit. The Junior P i ay "The District Attorney," was one grand success and the school supported the class nobly in the purchasing of tickets.
The first set of p'ns have been distributed an d are being sporte<l around school by several members of the c 1 ans.
The class meetings and the mixer were well attended, in fact at most every meeting the seats were doing double service and some were standing (not the seats)! We hope that the student s will turn out this semester as nobly as they did during the last.

WHY LEXINGTON LOST
He was a sluffer, and worse; an· unkempt fellcw with a roguish, though not unh1ndsome face, and, though his deeds were many and nefarious there was .a something, the very ghost cf innoc e nt boyhood, about h·m tha s m ade judges w e ak and juries lenie:at.
One day while going to the occas i onal asrnmbly of the Oakland High Sch a al, he sat, as usual, in the back s eat. As he l is t ened with curiosity, ', e h 2nd the Sf Eaker say in his add : em:
'I , h'.n1-r we c.an!"
This so interested the lad that he lef.t cff look·ng at the lines of well dresrnd students Ii3tening in decorous c omfort to the young sp 2aker, and Jiste :ied for cn c e hiwself. The boy ac ' m'1:y s i !!hed and his features twEched oddly, until eyes, nose a:id mouth se : med to meet; for someh1w t he sentence carr:ed hi'll back to the time when h e was ambitiom. In joy, at thf' vision cf making the 1earn, he sl"pred awav to class and recited, as bert he could, his unlearned lesson.
Ae- 2 in. came the uncomfortable softnes; That lazy streak. What ailed him? Suprc se. inc•ead of sluffing he had made good? He might some day be like that young speaker. He h:i.d to grin at the picture of himself. b,.t on ton oe the he swallowed hard and told himself sternly. "I thin1r I can."
In h's home our newlv determined friend felt a strang-e 1im'dity. In his i::hort <' areer he had many roles but this was long untried he na lizEd the probabilitres of failing he was scared, but brac·ng up he said, T enw 'ln, I beg you to remember that we can."

THE ADVOCATE
None worked harder for the Lexington game than did he. He had conquered self, and now felt he could lien conquer Le x ing on. None looked forward to the game more than he, but d .Esap r ain t rr.ent sEemed to be his reward, for fa1 a severe with Sir I a Gripre he was so weak( ned th '1t he was · unable to even ness the game.
Bef.ore the game, the coach comin!?,' :o see him, took him by the hand, and said:
"Don't be so down hearted, Baak. We'll beat them all right. You'll get a chance at th em in the next game.,;,"
Shortly afterwards he was reading the Bee when he felt eyes fixed upon him. Glancing up he saw behind the glass of the front door ,a friend's face framed in the oval. The face dodged his but not before he had seen upon it an evpression that left no doubt i n his rn. na as to the outcome of the game. ,He knew they had won.
Once mere, they were back in school. Fxaminations were over, and it was the first assembly of the term. The same Qnealrer was speaking, but this time his appeal was not for support, or enth\lsi asm. but rather he was telling why Lexington lost the game. ni!!'ht after the five had pla yed the rnconds for an hour or more, the coach said:
"Fell ows! unity is the hore of our s uccess. We rrust beat Lex'ngton cigain, but it \\·m be harder on their floor Their fe llows are bigger and hmkier than you and have played more b a sketball and football. so we Jl"'ust p1ay t o<r.ether if we will win. inv.ton has won so much that h 0 r players ar e anvious for individual honors, 'lnd bv our as one man we may b::iat them ag.ain."

A PROPHECY
Although we have never before been so bold as to delve into the future and our prophecies may be even less exact than the ones of those who make a profession of it, we are about to prophecy. We shall not attempt to explain the future condit'.ons of the weather but rather the future condition of the "Advocate." Although the "Advocate" in the past bas, under g ood management, achieved much success we shall try if possible to make it even mor prosperous during the coming semester. To aid in this the staff has bee n enlarged and now bas one member with past experience and several others who maY' (or may not) possess ability. We shall endeavor not only to 11 the "Advocate" with interesting reading matter but to make it a true representative of Lincoln High's famous spirit. So with the co-operat ion of the student body in both subscriptions and literary contr'.butions. we 1ray look forward to a bigger and better Advocate for the future.

Faustus Scribulous, the son of the fabulous and notorious bandit Robin Hood had sold out his pool ball and had started into the newspaper business in good old London town. He had rented the entire Rotten Row anu hired sixteen secretarie s to print the paper.
One day Faustus was sitting in bis offi.ce down a few notes on the Paris styles that passed by the window when in rushed Hugh Peppe·rseed.
"War's declared," he yelled.
'' Odd Zukes, what war? "
''The hundred year ' s w.ar.' '

·
Faustus dashed out into the street, chouted to a sleeping yeoman for his horse and didn't stop till he reached a little stone castle tucked a way in the side streets of London. Faustus jumped off his horse, ran into the castle and after pulling the servant out from under the table demanded that be be presented to Sir Roger Katfitz.
·'Here I am,'' exclaimed Roger ap · pearing from under the bed and adjusting his copper tuxedo, and his chain necktie.
" The war's started and we want you to go over and write it up for us."
"How much is there in it, Faustus. old fellow?" auestioned Roger, who was a true Englishman.
"Ten pounds six ounces, and three pence." · ·
·'Good," exclaimed Sir Katfitz, and the two shook hands till their teeth rattled.

BEANY BROWN-SCRUB.
T h e day for the presentation of basketball letters at Lencon high school had arr iv ed Contrary to custom, the c e r e mo n y was to be' performed during chap e l e xercises The p1ayers, six of them in all, were seated in a row on th e sta ge , w hile the coach, the superin t en de nt of schools , the principal and vi ce- p ri n c ipal w e re grouped around the tabl e o n which the coveted sweaters w e r e t emptingly displayed. The high school band was playing one of the popular school airs.
" B e a n y " Brown, from his position in t h e r o w of players , gazed over the a s sembl e d students, many of them his cla ss mates and all of them his friends, he hoped He could not help but note th ei r ex pectant attitude, how they loo ke d at the players, nudged their neighbors and exchanged remarks "C ur l y " Harris , the captain of the tea m, f rom his position next to him, jabb e d him in the ribs and whispered hoa rs ely, "Say, I guess we're some pumpkins today, eh what?" and " Bean y" smilingly nodded acquies ce n c e
I d o not know whether it was the soo t hing strains of the music or the familiarity of the captain, that caused "B e any' s " thoughts to drift back into th e da y s that were, back to those trying days when he was a despised scrub striving for the approval of the co ac h , his coach he called him.
Cle a r as a picture was the scene of th at fi rst day he reported for practice. Fou r long years ago it had been. He was a freshman then. "Beany" had go t in t o the practice on that first day for a s hort while. He regretfully ad· mitt ed t o himself that he had made an abo mi n a ble showing. The coach had com e u p to him after the first miserabl e practice , and after looking him ov e r h a d said not unkindly, "Kid, you ha v e s hown nothing to lead me to belie ve that you have the makings of a ba s k et ball player, so don't waste your tim e in trying to accomplish the impossibl e." The speech had stung "B e an y' s " pride, and he had mentally re s ol ve d that he would make the team. "I'll s how them," he had confided to himself. He smiled now as he recall ed the earnestness of that speech.
H e lived again those long hours s pe nt in secret in the gym when he had pra c ticed shooting baskets from th e ce nter of the floor. For four long year s h e had kept up that practice until no w eight times out of ten he could cage the ball at that distance. Never· would he forget the coach's express ion o n the morning of the big game when h.e had come upon him unexpectedl y a s he was throwing a basket. The co ach h ad a s ked him if he could do it ::i.g ain a nd, though nervous, long training ha d saved the day and he had m ade t he goal. The coach had asked

LINCOLN MEETS FIRST DEFEAT
17 to 11 the Seo re
The Lincoln High met defeat at the hands of Omaha high, Saturday night. It was a hard defensive game, as the score shows The strong guarding don e by both teams made it almost impossible for any to break away. The firs t half ended 6 to 5 Omaha. In the second half Lincoln spurted, but were unable to break away to any considerable advantage.
The attendance at the game showed how the Omaha team is supported There were over 500 spectators there Eighty dollars was taken in, besides the season tickets. It is hard to beat a t e am with support like this.
Lincoln plays Omaha at Lin c oln Feb· ruary 19. Every loyal student owes it to his school to be at that g ame With the students behind them the L H. S. squad will give Mulli ' s five a good drubbing.
The line-up :

He experienced a tingling feeling as he again watched that struggle for the state supremacy between the Lencon and Omara quintets. The Lencon boys, though greatly outreached , had fought like tigers throughout the grea t er part of the fray, seemingly, by sheer force of keeping up the killing pace set by their long opponents. And that last minute of the game when with the score tied and a chance to break even w ith Omara , the hopes of the Lencon rooters had been shattered w hen the star Lencon guard had been injured Again he saw the coach look over the row of subs and when his glance fell on Beany his eyes had lighted with a desperate hope. "Brown," he called sharply, "take right guard," and in an undertone, " Kid , I'm risking everything on you. Shoot from the c e nter of the floor on any kind of a chance. Now get ." Again that pleasant tingling sensation swept over him as he recalled the coach's words

The W. W. W. society held its initiation party at the home of Esther Van Sickle, Friday evening. The regular business meeting was held. Amid shrieks of anguish the new pledges underwent the tortures of initiation. All things horrible and cruel were used and even the humble ''macaronitius" worm brought the desired results. The "Hall of Horrors" was decorated in the society colors, the same color scheme also being carried out in the refreshments. The following new members were

G.T.C.NOTES
Miss Miller's Home Rule Girls met in room 103, January 7, and organized their new club, which was voted to be named the G. T. C. The aim of this club is to have lots of good times, and as every one knows the Prescott girls to be a lively crowd, we think our club will prosper.
The girls also elected their officers for the year. Ruby Archer was elected president; Muriel Allen, secretar.y, and treasurer, and Thora Rank, editor. Watch the Advocate for G. T. C. notes, and possibly you'll get a hint of the many good times the girls are going to have.

S u dden·y around the door came Gip , pet dog, dragging a large doll by her curly locks.

The finish of that struggle is his· tory now; how with but five seconds to play, Brown grabbed the ball within five yards of his own goal and taken a shooting position. The spectators jeered and his captain, who stood near him, had groaned with despair. For one brief second Brown had stood poised and then the ball left his hands with a spinning motion. Not a soul breathed as the ball described a graceful c ircle through the air, struck the backboard and jumped to the outside him of the basket, where it hung for one breathless moment, and then dropped in for the winning score. one moment the crowd was stunned, and then tore loose with such a burs t of ch r-> ering- as had never before been heard in Lencon.
"Brown." Someone had spoken his name
"Beany" started and looked up. The band had ceased playing and his coach speaking "Beany" liste1rncl. "And now,'' the coach was saying, "let's all give three cheers for the gamest, pluckiest little scrub that ever shot a bas · ket " The whole-hearted cheers that followed the coach's last words left no doubt in "Beany's" mind as to the sincerity of their appreciation.
Again that tingling sensation sw e pt over "Beany, " bringing blinding tears to h i s eyes Of the tumu!t of thoughts that flashed through "Beany's" mind , only one persisted and he chokingly put it into words:

PREPAREDNESS
\Var is being waged upon us now. \\'e have proclaimed ourselves neutral ever i,;ince last September, and now, with very little warning, so it seems, we axe pushed into the midst of the war of examinations." At first we prepared little defense for ourselves, but 110'\\' we hustle and study, wishing we had trained our army sooner. For "hat credit can be gain without knowlfHlge of subjects, especially those of Lincoln High? But at present we arf' busy preparing, hoping that we will win in the great battle of next week. preparedness leads to action, and ;11 tion, if taken in the right way, leads to vi<'tory in credits.

ODE TO OUR TEACHERS
Oh, learned beings, who our steps do guide, Thru the good paths of knowledge both narrow and wide.
Who cram our heads full of that most useful stuff
Called learning, when we think we've had quite enough.
Did your teacher lead you the same weary way? -
Did time seem to you to grow longer each day?
Mayhap you were brilliant and learned lessons well; Mayhap you were workers, none c an e'er tell.
Did your teachers give you those slips of detention, Which made the cold chills shake you? Just their mere mention
Did your heart e'er quake as with lesson unlearned
You sat at your desk and looked unconcerned?
Then pity! oh pity! us children, we pray,
As we foPow behind you the wearisome way.
So give us our credits that we may pass thru,
And teach other children serenely as you! HEN SCRATCHES.

Our First Te am Defeats Havelock
Final Score 33 to 20
Lin coln High beat Havelock by a 33 to 20 score on the Have lock school gym floor last Wednesday. The basket shooting was good but there was a slight lack of fast team work. At t eam work the Have lock team is a finished product but is rather weak at bask et shooting.
Th e main point getter for Havelock was Jacobs, the left forward, who got two field goals and te n foul goals. "Hank" Albrecht showe d his usual fo rm and scored six fie ld goals, several from difficult ang les. Andrew subbing for Brian at center played a fast and consisten t game. Neal also did some good playing and threw two goals, both of them long shots.

Lincoln Conquers
Geneva 's Team
The Lincoln High quintet defeated the strong Geneva team, last Saturday evening, by a 14 to 8 score. The first half was the closest Linclon has yet experienced, and both sides exhi b ited lots of "pep." All Geneva's sco r es in the first half were made by fo u is, and all except one of Lincoln's. Both sides guarded well and neither team c ou ld find the baskets. Between the halves, at the Geneva captain's s u ggestio n, the referee measured the distance of the foul goal lines from the baskets and found that one of them was sev· eral feet too far back. Alth o ugh many games have been played on the Y. M. C. A. :floor this was never noticed before.
The second half started with a rush, and "Bully" Brian scored a field goal and several foul goals in the first few minutes. Except for a sensational goal by Albrecht from the middle of the floor, the rest of Lincoln' scoring was confined to foul goals thrown by "Bully."
Although "Bully" made most of the coin's scores , there was no attempt at individual starring, and the team w
rk was excellent. Martin starred for Geneva.:

HOW'S THIS?
Among the many "newspaper" publicu.ti ons that we receive, the Advocate, fr om Lincoln, Neb., is one of the very best. The reports of the various organizations grouped under the heading "Soc i ety," get away from the stereotyped secretarial reports we usually find. From reading the Advocate we should judge that it came from a fine high s chool, filled with a wideawake, jo'ly and capable set of students. We think that such a school might better publish a magazine form paper instead of the loose sheeted and rather poorly printed newspaper form The subje c t matter is very good, but the form in which it is presented not so commendable.-Bulletin.
Teacher: Some one has been throw " ing paper behind my back. James, do you know who i t is?
James (who is the culprit himself): Yes s ir; but I hardly like to tell you. Teacher: A v e ry honorable feeling, James; you may sit down.

SCHOOL SPIRIT
Although the members of each departing senior class sadly agree that the last remnants of school spirit depart with them, Lincoln High is still possessed of a full share of loyalty and the boosting spirit. The spirit is not the same however, as it was a few years ago and has changed a great deal, for the better in some ways, and for the worse in others. This change may have been caused by the very atmosphere of the new building, or perhaps by the greater interest in smaller units. At any rate it is pres· ent and we must adjust ourselves to it. The future attitude of the student body will depend almost entirely upon Jhose who are at present Freshmen, for we are now in a period when indir id ual policies will decide the policy r f lhA whole school. We can only hope, therefore, that the younger mem· hers of the school will consider the prhool and school loyalty before all nlse and give Lincoln High success that it has never had before.

THE FIRST WAR CORRESPONDENT !N THE HUNDRED YEARS WAR
By R. C
Sir Ro;:-: e r having sign ed an agreement with Scribulus to become a war correspondent for the famed London paper "The Tri -Yearly News," he immediately set off for France where the Hundred Years War was scheduled.
France was a gay but ra!her ruff place in those days and the declaration of war had made it a good deal ruffer. Statistics show that over 10 0 men were killed the first year and numerous times the Frenchmen lost their tempers as well as their heads. Sir Roger had come to lose nei : her; so arrayed in a suit of cast steel an ink bottle in the top of his helmet, a pen stuck over one ear and a French grammar and note book tied to his saddle he boldly rode toward the place where the two sides were in deadly combat. The Fr e nchmen were slinging rocks at the English and the English were pouring boiling pitch on the Frenchmen.
"Rather ruff war?" the question came from a fat bewhiskered person in red tights seated on a daple grey at Sir Hugh's elbow. -
"Yep, can't say it out?" returned Sir Hugh "But exactly who are you?''
"Henry Flivver, · peace advocate." returned the stranger exhibi : ing a banner on was written, "Out of the Trenches by Christmas "
"You've got exactly nine t y-nine years, six months to wait before this war's ended," returned Sir Hugh eJrhibiting a co]Jy of Wort's Modern History.
Mr. Flivver having seen thi s irrimediately erased the words from hh banner and wrote (to be con t inued in our next).

Dear Observa:
I am a very clever boy and have always been bright in all my classes. But many of the fellows I know who are not so smart do not seem to like me. Can you advise me? W. J.
Answer-My boy, you are suffering from an extreme case of "caputis swellitis," or the swell head. The best remedy for this ailment ts to register for Math, under Miss Long.
Dear Observa:
Can you give me some advice as to how to b e come a basket ball player. LOUIS F.
Answer- A good method of home practice is to nail a barrel hoop on your barn door and practice throwing a fiotball through it. You might also try playing bean-bag , after school!
Dear Observa:
I am a fresh Freshman and as I have been told that I must tip my hat to every Senior I meet, I wish you would tell me, please, how I can tell a Senior wh e n I see one?
Answer-If you meet ariy dignified person who nods to acquaintances very stiffly, you may be safe in tipping your hat. If he isn't a s •enior he is a teacher and the result will be beneficial in either case. ·
Dear Observa:
I am a cute Senior boy. I have n1ite a line of funn y tricks but I c an't get a laugh on them like I used 1 o. I am at loss to explain this, maybe can.
G.D. B
Answer- Eith e r your stuff is getting old or you throw it too fast. Give your audi e nce a rest once in a while.
Dear Observa:
I have a teacher in English who is always giving me "bawl outs." Can you suggest a remedy?
W.G.
Answ e r - Although I have made an extensive study of the genus " teacher," I have never yet discovered the why and wherefore of the "bawl out." The b e st thing you can do is to look innocen t when she hands you one and let it go at that.

We are honor e d this week by a photograph of Forrest Estes, the retiring president of the Senior class and recent advertising manager of the Advocate. He has been a decided success in both positions. As class president, he has reviv ed t he class from a period of disinterest and as advertising manag er he has made the Advocate of last semester a financial success and has secured th e good will of the advertiser s, making the work of the present ad manager easier and more effective. Whatever his future ambitions may l ·e, his cha'l"e for rea 1 i 7 ine; th Jm are great, for since his freshman year he has always gone at things with an energy that !:ip e ll"' success.

Th o o nly thing Lincoln High could accomplish in th e first half was a foul goal thrown by "Bully" Brian. The rco re at the end of the first half wa a 8 to 1 in Sioux City's favor.
In the second half the Lincoln five played their hardest but although they made many attempts at the basket, rnm0 of them close ones, only two i hrows fell true. "Hank" Albrecht made a sensational goal in the first nart of the second half after dribbling :J. 1most the entire length of the floor. The final score stood 17 to 6.
All loyal basketball fans will stick by the tPam in spite of <lefeat and help them to "come back" in the state tournament. If they do win out there it will be only with the encouragement of knowing that we are still behind them and rooting for them.

DEBATING
A school the size of Lincoln with the reputation it upholds, should support debating with enthusiasm. An opportunity for showing up your en· thusiasm will soon be given. The twenty-fifth of this month Lincoln meets the Nebraska Military Academy. Since "Preparedness" is the question for debate the Military school will be l'l strong opponent. A large audience would inspire the team to do their best , so as loyal member of Lincoln High, do your part in bringing victory to th e Scarlet and Black, by being one of the large audience.

THE KNOCKER
common and dangerous of evils that Lincoln High has to deal y., hh is the knocker. he does not conhne ·his efforts to the destruction of auy one thing;, but knocks at everytnmg. He criticises the assemb1ies, the basketball team, the lunch hour or his class schedule. If he were runing the school (so he says) everything would be different and he would arrange things to suit everybody (or at · ·• ·1east ·nimse1f). In short, he is "at outs" with everything arnd in harmony with no t hing. The greatest prooiem the school is now confronted with is w L'id it::;elf ol the knocker, or rather to divert his energy to boosting. The part that every student should play in high schol li fe is not to knock, but rather if things are not satisfactory to ,\·ork for better and not attempt to destroy by knocking. If we will all follow this poli cy we will find that th e school will rapidly becom e more effic ient and more enjoya,ble, for th<;i condiLioas of the school do no t depend µrimarily 011 the faculty. but upon the attitude of the student body itself.
Tn th e mat e rial that is contributed eal'h week for the Advocate, good :oeals are noticeably absent. The only »caso11 to be found is that jokes and :- 't•mni notes are eas ier to write and fhal t h e average student may be

trusted to pick the easiest job. Good locals are, however, the life of the pap e r and are very welcome. We would remind the students therefore, that the Adv-ocatP box stands at the entrance to Mr. Marshall ' s office ancl that contributions are always welcome.

Like a cyclone the horse dashed through the terrified English, and galloned on.

The M. T. H. S. Booster of Indianapolis, Indiana, is a newsy little paper, in better form than most of the looseleaf publication s.
The Billiken of Albion High, Ne· braska, is one of the best of the "newspaper" style papers that we receive. We recommend, however, a better grade of pape r for such a live publica· ti on.
For the Budget, Berne, Indiana, we recommend a few mo!"e "news items" and a little more "pep."
From the following, from the Manual Training High, Indianapolis, it seems that o t hers have tried the "Forum." Keep it up M. T., we wish you success.
Forum Will Reorganize.
The M. T. H. S. Forum has disbanded to give place to the new. Thi::: new body w ill have George Henry as its president, and Bernice Clary, vicepresident. Abe Axelrod is the secretary and George Lunsford, reading clerk
A committee composed of Georg e Henry, Ed win Kendall, Russel Reynolds, Mr. Sizer and Mr. McConnell, was apuointed to draw up a new constitution, and submit plans f or the new Forum.

OJna·ha Again Victors In a Fast Game
Omaha again defeated the Lincoln squad last Saturday evening by a 22 to 15 score. The game was close throughout and both sides may be given credit for hard fighting
Neither side displayed a great deal of pep at the start and for the first several minutes very little was accomplished either way. Omaha made the first field goal after about five miutes of playing. The Lincoln team immediately started fighting harder and after a few minutes "Bully" Brian tossed in Lincoln's first field goal. Almost as soon as the ball was in play "Hank" Albrecht followed with another, putting Lincoln one point ahead. From then on to the end of the half the score was see-sawed by foul goals. The score was 9 to 9 at the end of the half.
The second half sarted out with a rush Omaha caging the first goal. "Bully" made a foul goal and after a few minutes Omaha tossed another fie l d goal. "Hank" Albrecht then another one. After several miuutes of playing, sprinkled by a few foul goals. Omaha then dropped another through. Smith shot a sensational fi e ld goal from a difficult angle bringing the score closer again. From , h :: n on the Lincoln squad began to ti re and Omaha rushed in with two fie ld goals and a foul goal. Th e final sc c re stood 22 to 15.
Maxwe 1 1 for Omaha did especially good work, but on the whole Omaha was weak on goals, especially free throws.
The Scarl et and Black squad backed up by a good crowd of rooters fought {h eir hardest and deserve much credit for doing their best. Omaha was represen ' cd by a small band of rooters consisting mainly of alumni.
The work of North, Neal and Andrews , subbing for Lincoln was especially commendable.

MUSIC
Miss Haywood is leading the chorus of the "Trial by Jury" and Mr. Miller is training the chorus of the "Bohemian Girl." Mrs Burgess - is coaching the cast of th e "Bohemian Girl."
The cast of the "Bohemian Girl" had its first rehearsal last Tuesday. The cast is composed of Bernice Reed, Doris Cole, Joseph Dahlberg, George Less e nhop and Curtis Grove.
A number of high school students are going to appear in the operetta , "The Contest of the Nations," given by the junior high school. Olive Meeds has taken one of the leading parts.
The Omaha schools are thinking of following the example of Lincoln High school by taking up that music course for credit. The examiner in that line who came down froin Omaha said the plan was excellent and he would work guard e ty . . tffiesof tht swc for it in Omaha. We should feel fJ.Uite elated in being able to give ideas on Omaha.
The man who arranged the book of songs now being used in chapel, will be here next month to direct the music in assembly.

Y. W. C A. NOTES
The. High School Y. W. C. A. is trying an experiment this semester which promises to be a splendid success The monthly meeting now comes in the form of a supper at the City Y. W. C. A. building on the first Friday of every month. We predict that those suppers are likely to become famous, partly for the food, most for the good fellowship and friendship which is the prevailing atmosphere. After the "eats" · a program and -after that, games for those who are able to stay. The whole thing is ended by half past eight, which gives everyone a Chance to get home in time. Already it is evident that plan is much more satisfactory than the old one of having meetings at the eighth period in the school building. We are indebted to the High School Y. M. C. A. for this idea.

The team, Burgess, Estes and Slater, upheld · the negative, as 1hey shall do when debating for L. H. P. Litton, Raymond and Allen were chosen to stand up against the "regu:·rs," and, for a "green" bunch, they did a good job.

JUST TWO BOYS
They were just two boys. It was at the period of their lives when they w ere between c hildhood and boyhood, wh e n they must soon start to school wh e re all the big boys went.
Gn this day, however, they were free from all such cares They had way to the vacant lot be · h : nd the old Terminal hotel, where th e re was a ways desired treasures t hat little boys wanted, su ch as bits of c olored glass from smashed ,, ine a n j beer bo t tle, pie c es of chains e n l wheels from a bicycle shop, and ' he hundred and one oth e r odds and ends that are dumped into a va c ant lot.
For vacant lots were rare in this e t city. an ::l much to be pre f erred h e P ' b 1 i p a rks an1 squares, as l' lliore exciting an .1 myster :ous T l'i:s was border e d on on e side ' r ge r J d bri - k car barn , where he cc.•:·s in and o:it on by t h e 'fe r minal and a shootn g ga l ery- on a third by the bicycle s 4op a nd a rest,au,rant; and on the fourth b y a an 1 a s a loon

was subsequently thrown out of the chicken house into the sand in the lot. And it was this little chick that our two little friends spied on one of their trips for treasures.
"Oh, Bill, look here what I've found! A poor little chicken all dead!"
"Bill" came running up, and the two looked sorrowfully at the chick. "What'll we do with it?" he asked, his brow wrinkling in thought "If we leave it here the cat might get it."
Bill looked at George and George looked at Bill.
"Let's bury it!" finally said George, with a sudden inspiration. "A'right."
So they set to work. Bill found a cigar box, into which he put the dead chick with all due solemnity. Then they dug a hole, and placed the box gently in it They took a last look, then closed the box, placed a brick on top, and filled the with dirt. They placed a broken shingle at the head of the little mound. They then straightened up and surveyed their work.
"There!" George said, with a thoughtful, half-sober look, "now he's buried and that old cat can't get him , can he?"
So they went about their business, with a warm liWe tingling in their hearts · all that day.
They; had no occasion to go near the vacaµt· lot , tne next day or the next, and so three days passed before they again entered that wondrous strip of sand. · They had forgotten all about the dead chick by this time, but suddenly Bill saw the ''·little mound, untouched as they had ·left it. '
"Say, George, let's ·dook at th e chicken!"
They noti c ed nothing amiss as they careful l y uncovered the box and took the brick away from the cover. They lifted up the lid and looked in. A 1 l they saw was th e bare bottom of the box. Their little chi cken was gone.
They looked at ea c h other for a mo· ment, then they looked at the box; then they looked at each other again
"It's gone!" said Bill, in an awed voice.
"What could have happened to it? " asked George.
"Maybe the cat dug it up " somebody else took it out. "
"But the dirt was just the same , and the gravestone was sticking up , and besides what would anybody wan t with our poor little chicken?"
"Well, what's happened then? " asked Bill, scratching his small head perplexedly.
There was silence for a moment.
"I know,'' said George, soberly after a time. "He's gone to heaven."

,\V 1; are in receipt of a letter from an active alumnus, one who boosted for Lincoln High while a member and is still boosting. . Since his views may be more effective than our own we are giving his letter the customary di t orial spa ye. It 1S reproduced below : Lincoln, Neb.
Dear Mr. Editor:
Our hopes of an all-v ictoriou s oasltetball. team · for 1916 have been shattered. The Scarlet and Black warriors h,ave fallen before two ' oppont nts, though they fought to the very , tr,ench No, not t he v ery last trench_:__there remains one more, and iP this one can be found the necessary mmunitjon for turning the tide of battle.
" With th e e.d\tpr'i? perm:ssion, I b e-; to put in my - pl a, not alone for a successful termination of the basketbal.l seas on, but for the bigger and b et· "ter L. H. S that must necessarily fo'low.
The one remaining trench r e ferred to is that one presid ed ayer by each and every student of Lincoln High, l' e he Freshman or Senior, and the " a mmunition," the spirit (latent or active) that abides within a c h one, not to be scoffed at, by any means, for ence has proved that i t will work won· ders if properly applied-. Wasn't it unbeatabl e spirit of the team and the school behind it, that won the tournament last year, and mor e than ever, that of the year before?
No,'"' we can't have an all-victor ious team, but we can have a third t ourna-
m e nt champions hip -and can beat Om' ha, wh i c h will be vietory enough in itself. But more than all this, we can if we will, quit the season with th feeling that we have done our best to make a winning team- with the knowedge that we have exerted every ounce of energy in trying t o help those five men who are already straining e -; ery towards success.
Athletic history is crowded with vi ctories won at the cnrcial moment wh n only a -fair team has had the um _, served support of the school behind it. I do not mean to hint but only to show what could be done if Lincoln High were to use its very excellent team to t he best possib' e a'vantage.
Now, if L. H. S. is to do th e thing that every wide-awake alumnus ex pects it to do, is time. NOW I say for eac h on e to the lo ad. Go to <>very member of the team, give him a hµndshake a nd t 11 him that yo·1'rc ,..,. _ pee ing him to win for L H. S., and that yo u know he "will. Just im 1 g i ne what confidence arid strength tha • li1tie act will give him !-and then mu 1tiuly it. bv twelve hundred. But your duty doesn't end the re. Buy a ti cke1 and show your face on the side-line rn ' he p 1 ayers will know that YO\l mean t n1e handsha ke ancl the word of confidence.
AnQ. if that is done, what d efe'l t C '1 '1 1here be? · Even if the team · sl, 0· ' d lose out in the tournam ent. v r l i 11 would hardly be poss'b e 1111-:i ; h '" " conditions. we wo u'd still 11"" " · thp vktory of knowiug that we f<' ·p· t - and fought hard. What will it be, a double viC' ' ory o r a double defeat?

Dr. L. D.

The speech was more of a sermon than anything else, but did not seem out of place and was put forth in a way to appeal to a high school audi· ence. Although the program was out bf the ordinary for a high school assembly it was entirely welcome and quite worth while.

Come-Back ·for Lincoln in Uni. Place Game
The Lincoln squad avenged themselves on the Uni. Place team last Wednesday evening in the Wesleyan gym, by defeating them by a 19 to 16 score. The game was fast and the score close throughout. Both sides played well and only a few fouls were called on either team University Place showed the best team work during t he first half, but were very weak at basket shooting. The end of the first b'.1H founcl the suburbanites on the short end of a 9 to 8 score.
In the second half, displayed lots of dash and vim, but the Uni. Place team maintained a good defence. Until the very last p art of the half, Lincoln was never more than one goal ahead and several times the score was tiej. At the end, Uni. Place began to fall down a little, and the final score stood 19 to 16. Brian and Albrecht stnrred. for Lincoln, and Payne for University Place. North , in bis new position as forward , did some good playing.
The Scarlet and BlA.ck has shown that it can refleem itself and overcome a defeat with a vi('tory. and now we are writinP.: for the time when the team will replace some more of its past defeats by playing hard in the tournament. With the proper sunport of the student body they can and will do it.

Lincoln Victorious in Season's First Debate
The Lincoln High debating team won its first victory of the season over Nebraska Military Academy last Friday morning with a unanimous decision of the judges. The question was, "Resolved, That the United States should adopt substantially the recommendations of the secretaries of war and navy for the increase of armament."
'fhe Lincoln team, composed of Francis Burgess, Forrest Estes and Lawrence Slater, upheld the negative. Francis Burgess and Lawrence Slater a.re both new on the team, and their work was especially commendable. Miss Burgess is the first girl to get a place on the debating team for almost twenty years.
A 1 though the "soldiers" had their own side of the question, they could not make a stand, and the negative kno - lrnd down argument after argument. The N. M. A. team did not show the same hard work and careful think ing that has marked the preparation of the Lincoln team's debate. Al' hough the Military team was facing a strange anu hostile audience>, their delivery was not marked with ' he same energy and enthusiasm that ww c force to the Lincoln squad';;; arguments. In rebuttal, the Lincoln t.nim wa;;; esnecially effective, but the cadets found their opponents' arguments o strong that there was but litt 1 e to refute.
\Ve have representing us a debating toim of whi<'h we may be justly proud, and they iteserve the same en1ln1siastic support we have given to 0 1ir athletic contests, for the team has worked h::ird for several months under the direction of oach Huett.

the second victory during the week, having won from Uni. Place on Wednesday.
The team work and goal shooting have improved much of late. This victory puts Lincoln far in the lead of her opponents in the total points won. Our hopes for a championship team again this year are climbing high.

"ASSEMBLY CRAIVlMING"
One day last week a g e ntleman address ing us in the Auditorium, fi guratively "took off his hat" to us as an audien c e that is ab 1 e to c oncentrate its thoughtS' upon the poi n t being made by the speaker. By the applause whkh followed this remark, it would seem that we t he irony of it.
Really, did we deserve anything as harsh as that? Is it true of us? I think most any one of us will have to admit that if it is so, we dort't appear so very attentive. Any morning next week just take a glance around in assembly and see how many of yo 1 ll' neighbors are re11ly paying attention to the speaker. ine out of every ten of us are scribbling frantically on some very important l esson. Is assemb 1 y the pla<.:e for study? How do you suppose a speaker feels as he stanfl.s before a body of studen t s who think more of getting that lust line written than they do of hearing his message?
Of course, there is nothing like being studious, but most any thing can be overdone. So, let's play fair. Let's put ourselves in the speaker's pla c e some morning and see how we should like to talk to rows and rows of books. Let's leave off a "jit show" or two and do our studying some other place than in assembly. One of the Guilty.

LINCOLN HIGH DEFEATS NEBRASKA CITY
The Lincoln High squad defeated Nebraska City in a fast game last Friday evening on the Nebraska City floor by a score of 19 to 11.
The Nebraska City boys put up a better fight than was expected, but although :rnveral Lin c oln r e gulars \Vere out, the game was never in doubt. The Nebraska City floor was built with a very low ceiling, and long shots were impossible, so very little starring was done on either side. Neal, North, Sommers and Cypreansen all did excellent work and "Zip" ;:;hot four of Lincoln's goals. Schroeder was sick and got in for only ten minutes, but shot tw o free goals in that time.
The game means another step toward tournament victory, for Nebraska City is recognized as one of the strongest teams of the stale. The lrneup was:

To many people the orchestra seems of small importance in a musical production, but the work of an orchestra is no small task. For several weeks Mr. Steckleberg and Mr. Miller have been laboring on the manuscript, making t h e proper "cuts" to fit the music of the edition of the opera ·which we are using. Most of the orchestra period is spent in trying to figure out "wh t comes next,'' for the manuscri p t is a perfect jumble of "cuts" made in blue or red or black pencil by those who have previously used thi music. Eventually, however, this will all be adjusted and the orchestra will settled down to more "straight ah e ad sailing."

The village on the Blue upset all prophecies W'hen their team took the championship cup home with them Saturday night, thus proclaiming themse l ves victors of all teams in this state, ·and champions of the largest basketball tournament in the United States. Eighty-eight schools were represented, but the plucky fighters from Beatrice s1howed up strong at all times.
The s howing IP.ade by Beatrice in the regular seasons games has not

LINCOLN WINS SECOND DEBATE
Wednesday evening, March 8, the Lincoln trio escaped in a close call when they won a two to one decis.ion over Wilber. Lincoln succeeded in upholding the negative side of the question, "Resolved, that United States should substantially adopt the recommendations of the secretaries of war and navy departments for an increase in armaments." From the beginning unusual interest was shown not only by the three hundred olde; folks present, but also by the score or Continued on page 7.

SENIORS
Talk about "pep"! Did any of those Juniors take a peep into the library 8th period last Friday? There were 105 Seniors there. Juniors take note. Were the re ever that many at y ou r class meetings? We admit we have a "jewel" in "Betty" Brown, Walter, but according to this class meeting every Senior was full of "pep."
The illustrious Frank Watson, our new president, presided, and barring a few points or order, did nobly The meeting was strictly a business affair. A number of important thingt; pertaining to the seniors were discussed and decided upon. After a very heated discussion of whom the class photographer should be Mr. Townsend the honor. The question o f caps and gowns was c ompletely do wned.
A motion was made to have a party after the next class meeting and invite the Juniors. In the remarks following this was completely downed, especially by Earl Colton, who said "It is beneath our dignity as Seniors to conde s cend to invite the Juniors." Betty Brown sugge sted that "we put one o ver on them and invite them," but it was of no avail. Conseqµently the Seniors will hold a party, possibly in the Music Hall, after next class meeting. Now, fellowsclassmen, all out for a good time and boost for a better and bigger Senior class.

No, Elizabeth, those melodies you heard in room 226, last Friday, were not caused by the fire department or a hail storm on a tin roof, it was m erely the wide-awake nine piece Junior or c hestra under the direction of Mr. Pearl Oldt. This orchestra seems to be the only class orchestra in the s chool (the 1916 orchestra evid en tly has expired).
Besides the six sele ct ions by the or c hestra, Dorothy Roach favored us with two songs, Miriam Williams teased the piano for two "exkwizit" selections and Delma Baughan gave a read'ng about a mouse. The reading soun de d more like a yelling to us, however.
Burkes Harley took charge of the class and, like the Senior Prexy, was caught by no point of order.
Plans for the Junior-Sen i or were dis cussed and several committees were appointed.

PUSH, '3UT DON'T SHOVE
Push your school along, but don't shove it off the map. You may think that your defection is but a single instance and will have no injurious effed, but you are wrong. And you can't kick your school without breaking your toe. Pushing is a good thing, but shoving is not so You can push your school along by encouraging school activities. You can push it along by being of it as well as in it, and centering your push upon the school.
During the state tournament week a number oif outcof-town fellows visited our school, taking special interest in the gymnasium and swimming pool. A great many were astounded by the col· lection of trophies in Mr. Marshall's office. Undoubtedly our fame as atheletes has spread to the bounds of the earth, and we have due reason to be proud of that case of cups.
WHAT LINCOLN HIGH NEEDS
If Hamlin Town ever needed a Pied Piper to put the dent in the rodents, Lincoln High School certainly
THE ADVOCATE
needs a dog catcher to put the can on canine. Lincoln has no dog catcher now, and perhaps this is why our school is infested by dogs of all sizes a nd shades.
In anc i ent times the dog was considered sacred and it was barbarous to kill one. But now, right here in our school, something will have to be done to check the ever-increasing supply of dogs.
They invade the cafeteria and disturb o ur meals. They sneak into our study rooms and sit quietly in a corner absorbing the atmospheric knowledge afloat in the air, and finally go out and impart their le13\"nings to other dogs, who, by foul or fair means, g ain entrance to our school.
W 'ho knows, perhaps we are developin a race of learned canines which will surpass the mortals in knowledge. Surely this is not what we of Lincoln H i g h School want.
Worst of all, t hey break in upon our studying in assembly, becoming so brave that they mount the platform and stalk about as though they owned our school.
These scraggy, small, big, short, long, fat, hairy, and hairless beasts have taken up our time and thoughts l ong enough. If peace can't reign in Europe it must in Lincoln High School. Surely we need a dog catcher.
NAINO RECICA.
Last semester there were ninetyeigh t more girls taking gymnasium than boys. This is a startling announcement boys. We can't figure out how this can be so. All the advantages are now before the would-be gymnast in Lin coln High School and there is no reason why there should not be more boys enrolled earning a half credit. We do not know the ce n s us for this year, but we know that there can not be very many more boys than last semester, because we haven't an all-period instructor, but
if more boys were e nrolled tO' study the gymnasium and the plunge, there would have to be an other instructor to care for the increase d number. We say once more that th ere ought to be more boys taking gym.

Having heard the decision a disappointed groan arose from the audience, which was sufficient to convince the Lincoln boys that they were not dreaming, but really had heard 1the decision correctly.
The arguments of the negative were well tested and the decision was earned by hard work throughout the debate. Judges agreed that the Wilber team excelled in rebuttal, although all points were read and appeared not as impromptu as those of Lincoln.
The remarkable part of the debate was that Lincoln brought up not one point in the main speeches that the opposition had not already touched upon.
Delivery and clearness in foUowing the case saved the day for Lincoln. The coach, Mr. Hewitt, and Mrs. Burgess accompanied the team. Miss Frances Burgess opened the debate for the negative, followed by Forrest Estes and Laurence Slater.

SENIORS, YOU MUST DECIDE
Are you going to wear caps and gowns?
Through mistake, it was thought, at our last class meeting, that it was against tJhe law for higih school students to have caps and gowns, and so the matter was passed over without serious consideration.
At class meeting tomorrow the matter will be thoroughly discussed and settled, once and for all.
Mr Porterfield , representing the College Book Store, will be there to show what these caps and gowns are like, for they are grey, not black as for colleg e s He will tell all about the mat· ter and its advantages, as his experience has found it. So come, Seniors. Don't sit quietly by and let the matte r be settled to your dissatisfaction. Remember, this concerns every senior in school , for you will have to abide by t'he result. It may also concern senior classes yet to come. Think about t•he matter and talk it over today with your friends and your .family. Do you think it wise to take this step and wear caps and gowns? Do you think it would be more democratic, and that there are members of our class whom it would help financially?
Or do you tlhi.nk that to spend a dollar and a •half for these gowns is a use1ess extravagance in that there are few who would not have some new things anyway , or also?
Do you think that our class of 1916 already has democracy and common sense enougih to be free from petty rivalries in the matter of dress? Do you t •bink that to 1adopt caps and gow ns is a progressive movement for the better which many larger high schools such as tJhose of Omaha and Chicago are taking up, or do you think that it is simply aping and thus destroying the dignity of our university and other colleges?

What has happened to the good old game 10.f indoor baseball? We never play it any more.
vV e want to know if Helen Hut has gott e n a great many pointers on how to play basketball as taught by the Juniors?
Miss Frasier, the new coach, is attempting to teach the girls how to make a straight ·throw. It's certainly a pretty big job.
T 1he girls are all busy practicing for the inter-class basketball tournament whi cfa will take place the· end of this month. The following girls 'have been chosen as managers of the different c las s es :
F res1hmen, Belle F 1arman. So p homore, Mary Herzing Juni o r , Cora Miller Senior, Irene Springer.

BOYS 'ATHLETICS
It will not be long before we will have to say good-bye to basketball ' till next year. The state tournament being over, the classes of Lincoln High School will take possession of the floor to see which is the best team Basketball as had a long run this season. The game has been played by most all t'he :home rooms and gym classes, not including the several classes that get out in the evening. In the gymnasium baseball will soon be the order of the day. Lincoln High School :has no baseball team, but if you come down to the gym you will find some ball swatters that would tax the skill of the Lincoln Tigers. Lest we don't get another chance, we will right here give a parting tra-la-la to basketball 'till next year.

He is a graduate of the Chicago Musical College. While at this institution be received a diamond medal for proficiency in violin work. He has studied abroad under prominent instructors. He is now at the head of the violin department of the University School of Music.

Now that gentle spring is upon us, the time when trees, flowers and "U" slips begin to bloom and the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of-English, Math., Latin and money, we are almost inspired to write poetry. However, since this might create a wrong impression, we shall confine ourself to prose.
As we wander about the halls of Lincoln High School building, hearing and seeing things, we have become impressed by the fact that a good many students who may be classed generally as knockers do not really appreciate the advantages offered by the school. Although, like the poor, knockers are always with us, upon reflection it seems to us that a great deal of this knocking is done by those who do so because of misunderstanding, rather than with malicious intent. In other words, the average high school student looks straight through the school's advantages to its faults. So we may confine our advice to several small words, viz.: look around and think before knocking.
The Lincoln High has cause to feel more than proud of itself this week. We are pleased to know that our city v-ias the one chosen for the Musical

(With Apologies to 'Poe)
Once up in a Chem. Lab Dreary, While I worked there tired and weary,
Combining one thing and another
As the chemists oft' of yore, While I sat there,. nearly Suddenly there came a crackling, As of a test-tube gently snapping, And landing swift upon the floor.
" 'Tis the end"--I vainly muttered
" For my long hard work is o'er. My test-tube's in a thousand pieces Only this and nothing more."

" A job! "
"Got to hurry." replied the lad briefly. "Left school yesterday . and haven't struck anything suitable yet. The only place where I can stay long is where they pay me for it."
"How much do you want."
"Four dollars a week for a start."
"And when can you come?"

LATIN CLUB NOTES
Professor Barber's lecture o n "Roman Life in Pompeii," was greatly enjoyed by the Latin Club and its many guests last Friday night. After seeing the homes of these people, their theaters and bakeries and jewels and bric-a-brac, it doesn't seem so hard to realize that they actually lived and went around talking Latin. I think that many of us are really very anxious to spend a day in one of those beautiful Roman villas. at any rate in the one whose charming peristyle we saw. Provided, of course, that we didn't

The costumes and scenery, with the splendid work of Curtice Grove, Paul Williams, Doris Cole and Bernice Reed who went through their parts like professionals instead of amateurs are worthy of special mention. The rest of the cast and the chorus acquitted themselves nobly.

Issued from the Department of Printing of Lincoln High School
THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1916.
This issue of the Advocate is put out by the Department of Printing of Lincoln High School under the direction of the Ben Franklin Club. This club was organized recently for th e d e velopment of its members in typographical affairs and for devising ways and means of assisting in securing efficiency for our printing plant. The B. F. C. is strictly a student organization, open to any member of the department. Oth e r information con · cerning the club appears on another page.
HABITS
Habits are something which all of us possess. Some are good, others are bad. The time to acquire habits is now, while you are still young. How many of you could open your note b\QPk to any certain lesson whic.:h you had prepared? I'll venture to say that at least 75 per cent would have to look through the note book before finding it. What would a business man say if you kept his books in such a slip-shod way? How many of you put tools back in their proper places when you have finished using them? How many of you are doing everything that you do to the best of your ability? How many of you are temperate in all of your habits? How many of you are living a clean life? Now is th e time to think about all of these things . The habits you are now forming will be your making or undoing in later life. Ask the successful business man if he regrets the good habits he formed when young. He will without exception answer in the negative. The habits he formed when young are responsible for much of his success. Get the habit , but be sure that it is a good one, and then keep it. You will nev e r have occasion to regret it.
THE GAME WE LIKE
Do you like to play some game or do something better than anything else? If so, it is a good thing if you do not let it take the time that belongs to something else. Your other duties are just as essential and a great deal better for you. An automobile going over the same road and in the same track will, in make a rut. It will then follow this rut just the same as a train follows the track. Don't get in a rut. Learn all you can upon all subjects while you are specializing in your life's work.
We wish to call the =cial attention of our read e rs to the fa c t that in this issue of J;he Advo c at e we have departed from th e usual custom and placed the entire issue in the hands of the printing department. This department, which has, up to this time, had charge of the printing of the Advo c ate, de-
1sires to show the student body what i t c an do in the way of e diting also They are producin g what they consider an ideal 1· school paper. Since we have given them a free rein we do not know what this ideal is and can not comment on it. Therefore, th e departm ent's suc c ess in this l i ne of endeavor depends entirely upon the judgmen t of our readers, and what that succ ess may be we know not. a
L= wSELLING TIME
Did it ever occur to you that you can your time? Some of you are doing i t now, all must sooner or later. If you hire out for eight hours a day your employer is entitled to the full time, not seven hours, but eight. Some 11c o p le think i t strange that the "boss" dislikes to let them off. It is no t H ' a t all. He pays for your time and in return should receive what he pays for, just the same as if y ou went to a store and bought a cl o zen eggs. You would want twelve, not ten or eleven. Why shouldn't the "boss " ?
PLAYING THE GAME
Did you ever notice that the losing team in football fights to the las t whistle? If the same fight or sti ck-toit-tiveness were displayed in our school work or in the game of lif e we would get along mu ch better. On e reason we like football is because of th e d e termination of the teams to figh t to the end. Why not put this same fight into the game of life and nn ke i t m or e interesting?
WHAT CONNIE THINKS
You all know or have heard of Cornelius Mackgillicudy (Connie Mack) H e ought to know something about toys- e sp e cially athletes. Here is wh a t he has t o say about smoking: "It is my candid opinion, and I have watched very closely the last twelve years or more, that boys at the age of ten to fifteen who have continued sm o1·ing ci g ar ett e s do not as a rule n. mount to anything. They are unfitted in every way for any kind of work wher e brains are ne e ded."
DOGS, BABIES AND STUDENTS
Did you ev e r no t ice that a dog will destroy any object that it can ge t hold of? Giv e a tab y a book or magazin e and it will do the same thing. Its first t hough t is to destroy. The knobs on th e cannisters and other movable obj e c t s have been removed for no conceivable purpose other than to be doing s ome t hing. If you don't want to be classed with dogs and babies, learn to leave things alone that do not con· cern you.

Tennis Prospects
Last year the Lincoln High School Tennis Club was reorganized. A tournament was scheduled but owing to the very rainy weather which set in it failed to materialize. Many around school have expressed themselves as being in favor of the several Home Rooms having a tournament. It will probably be impossible to fix up courts on the campus, but suitable courts may be secured at Antelope Park or elsewhere. Those interested in the matter should plan to get together in the near future.
The Track Team
Quite a num be r of fellows have gotten out but the number is far too small for a school the size of L. H. S'. This year, for the first time, we have better facilities and for that reason a better track team should be the result Anyon e having the least bit of talent in any track or field event should get out.

"That is a cow," John replied. "And what are those things on its head?" "Horns," answered John. They then proceeded a little farther when Willie was startled by a long, low bellowing of the animal. "Which horn did it blow?" he asked excitedly. -American Boy.

The old mother is thus busy in the kitchen with the Japanese help boy. At half pastly eleven she finriish the bak· ing of pies. Taking the pies, she say to the help boy, "How nicely the pies are done! I am a good kooker, isn't I?" Then she and the boy, sweating from the head by the stove are sometimes looking: into the roast turkey of tl}.e oven. Much busy is both. But all 1hings are done at twelve. She calls into the parlor, "Come now, the dinner is now ready.'' But at the parlor the daughters of the mother, one is already married, are playing the music. Elder daughter as if she does not hear the mother call, sings loudly and happly; and her husbana loin with his wife in the rocking chair by the stove, with taking the time by the shaking of the morning paper in his right hand. The little sister lost her senses for the playing. All the three don't mind the dinner. "Come here children, don't you hear me," cried the mother. "Wait mim.ites," cried they. Then from the · uptsairs come down the father :- '"Now," says the mother, "come sit on the table." Then the three come to the table with joyful face. . Then the dinner of the thanksgiving begins. They eat talking and laughing, while the Japanese boy sit at the kitchen window gazing lonely into the outside which is all raining.

THE
Strenuous Season Ahead for Trac!< Team
Lincoln High has ahead of it this season one of the hardest track schedules that it has ever had and one will ne e d the work and support of both the team and the student public.
As before the big spots on th e schedule will be the Missouri Valley and S'tate m e ets. The State me e t is to be held in Lincoln in the early part of May and will probably be one of t h e best ever held as all the larger towns are showing good material. The Missouri Valley meet will be held in Kansas City a little later in May and as usual will be a big event in track history
Beside these meets for the regular team , an Inter-Class meet will b e hel rl to allow thos e w b o are not on th e regular team to show their ability and to h e lp out their respective classes.
Mr. Greens t reet also has hopes o f securing dual me e ts with Omaha, Hastings and several other of the larger towns.
With this strong schedul e and th o strong team the Lincoln High will doubtlessly produce, opportunity is offer e d for everyone to boost either as a member of the team or a rooter. Do your part!

A school girl was required to write an essay of 250 words about a motor c 2. r. She submitted the following: "My uncle bought a motor car. He was riding in the country when it lusted up a hill.

The students of Lincoln High were given a welcome treat Wednesday morning when Miss Jury's Home Room took charge of the program . Let's hope some other rooms accumulat e e nough enthusiasm to furnish equally good programs in the future.
The first number yas a· vocal selection by Marie Movius . This selection was so well given that th e assemblag e called for mor e and were treated to another number.
The next number showed that the tal e nt in Lincoln High is indeed diverse. Martha Krogmann juggled an infinite number of rubber balls with p e rfect ease and grace. She modestly responded to the tempestuous applause of the multitude and did the performance all over.
The star performance of the morning, however, was that of Dr. Bixby. in our humble opinion the genial doctor is one of very few poets whose ideas we are able to comprehend. Evidently the students comprehended Dr. Bixby's remarks and bits of verse, for they surely appreciated them. The students would certainly like to have him come again.
Friday morning Professor Molzer pr e sented several number on the violin. Prof. Molzer is an accomplished musician and his music was much n.ppreciated. The order was excellent Perhaps this was due to the interest in the music, but it certainly was an improvement over the order displayed in some assemblies this year. Apparently the school is coming to appreciate music e nough to refrain from studying in Assembly.
OPPORTUNITY
Did you ever stop to think? Proba bly not, you just think without stopping. Have you visited the Labs. in this building? Have you seen thos e in th e old building? If you are acquainted with both places you undoubtedly note the contrast. The new Labs. are large, well lighted and filled wit h new apparatus. The most int e resting work goes on there. If you negle c t your opportunity and don't take Rei nee now you may take it some tim e in a poor place. Think a little. Act now! When opportunity knocks, open the door, be quick about it too, she may pass on.

PHYSICS CLUB NOTES
The Physics Club assembled in room 216. The minutes being read and accepted the president appointed Sam Brownell chairman of the program committee for the next meeting. Then the business meeting adjourned and all watched eagerly for the eats which we knew were concealed 111omewhere about the room. Soon they were brought forth and all ate. And such a feed! It certainly was grand. We all enjoyed it exceedingly and hope there will be another one soon.

Any one passing room 326 last Wednesday and glancing in would have thought that the State Suffrage Convention was meeting there. It certainly was a suffrage meeting. The only man (pardon me) boy, in evidence, was our distinguished president. But the flower, talent, and "sense" quoting Mr. McConnell, were well represented.
After reports from the picture and party committees an impromptu program followed. Different members of the class contributed. The program
varied from piano and vocal solos to tricks by the president's little dog. Seniors, especially the boys, more of y_ou out next time. There are only a few more meetings and so much business to transact that no Senior can afford to miss a one.
Well, Walter, you are quite eloquent when you want to be. We were simply dazzled over the displaying of suc h knowledge of the Bible, as to quote it.

A vocal solo by Doris Cole and a piano solo by Ashby Stratton were the only numbers on the program at th e last meeting. Meda Eigenbroadt and Thelma Harney, who had charge of the candy sale, made a report of the same . Mr. Brownell announced the box supper, which was held April 1st.

PREPAREDNESS!
At last grim war has reached his gaunt hand even to our peaceful high school and a number of people whose hearts are harder than their upper regions are waging a campaign to incorporate military drill in our midst'. The very thought of. t9t.eing a steenpound rifle around t}1e spacious fields about our fair school makes our heart and bones ache. As we g·aze into the misty stretches of the future we see what was formerly a quiet and peace· - ful football field trodden by the feet of of armed students, each with a deadly purpose in his heart to wipe out something or other. Even the crowds of fair lasses that formerly gathered at athletic contests now min· :ster to the dead and wounded in the battle of Omaha or a skirmish at Beatrice and shout "Hold that trench!" as the enemy advances with flashing bayonets and waving pennants. And as night pulls her dark curtain o'er the dreadful scenes we hear the low cry of the fair damsels, "Oh, Where is My Wandering Boy Tonight," and back over the battle scarred fields comes the answer: "Out learning the goosestep." But we turn in anguish from these dark scenes with a plea that, be it ever so dangerous there's nothing like unpreparedness.
STUDENT OPINIONS
It is our wish as a school to express our appreciation of Mr. Mays' successful efforts in securing such entertaining and beneficial assemblies. It requires good judgment and skill

to determine just what qualities will benefit a group of thirteen hundred people. Mr. Mays has displayed his talent along that line.
We all realize no doubt at times that our attention has not been adequate enough, especially in the case of some of the speakers. But this can be remedies if we all put our minds to the cultivation of attention to that which is bound to help us in the end.

THE TRACK SEASON
This year a member of the track team is more than repaid for the work he does. The usual track season is two months of hard work with two meets, the Missouri Valley and the State. In these meets the competition is always strong, one must be in very good condition in order to place in either meet. Coach Greenstreet is planning on having one month of hard work getting in shape and then a meet every week. Some of the meets he plans on are dual meets with Omaha, Hastings and eastern Nebraska towns. If Lincoln enters in all of these contests we will have the best track schedule in the history of the school.
What Did He Expect?
For nearly an hour the salesman had been dilating on the marvels of foe motor car he was trying to sell.
"And the price of the car is $750," the customer murmured thoughtfully. "Does that include everything?"
"Yes-oh, no, of course, the lamps are extra."
"Lamps extra!" said the customer sharply. "But they are shown in the illustration."
"My dear sir, so is a very beautiful woman," said the salesman smoothly; "but we do not give a lady with every car!"
Evening Up
"Excuse me, suh," said Mr. Erastus Pinkley, "but did you know dat de Quarter you don persented me wif was counterfeit?"
"Certainly not. Let me see it."
"I ain' got it no mo'. What I desired to say is dat if you's got any mo' of 'em to pass out f'um time to time I would te mos' appreciative to be rem e mbered. De men I shoots craps wif has been so lucky dar ain' no sense o' me stayin' in de game unless dey carries some handicap."

"Waiter," said a lone traveler, as he sat himself down at one of the little tables, ".bring me grapefruit, hot toast, coffee, and two poached e ggs." "Kunnel," stated the waiter, bending forward confidentially and speaking under his breath, "scuse me, suh, but offen I wuz you I'd tek somethin' else this mawnin' fur breakfas'.

The story is told of a Georgia editor who was usually mayor. justice o.f the p ea c e, and real estate agent a s well.

" Time ' s money ; want her?1
" Yes." said the youth.
"Want him?" the editor nodded towarCI, the girl.

The Smith family, who resided in an interfor city, had one of those maids of the invariably heavy hand. Not long ago the town experienced a slight shock of earthquake.

"One wife too many!" exclaimed Mrs. Wederly, as she glanced at the headlines of her husband's . paper. "I suppose that is an account of the doings of some bigamist?" "Not necessarily, my dear," replied her husband , without daring to look up.

Reminiscence
Pipe. When I think of the word I am no longer grown up. My thoughts wander back and I see myself an urchi11 again. Not a little Agnes in starched linen but just a real boy with dirty face, tangled hair, an old torn blouse, a pair of Dad's worn out trous· ers, cut off at the knees, displaying a pair of sunburned l egs, not unlike match sticks, and dirty feet that Ivory Soap would not clean in a century. Just a real boy with all of a small boy's savagery. Well do I remember one afternoon when along with the r e st of the gang I tried to s_moke a pipe which one of us had found. Nature certainly did protest against Duke's Mixture more than did the manager of the Basket Stores in his recent "speech." The word pipe brings it back all too vividly .
A remarkable discovery was made the other day by one of the promising young F'reshies, namely ,that in almost ninety-nine and nine-tenths cases out of a hundred, the pupils of Lincoln High School are more eager to leave a class room than to enter it. We can hardly believe it!

Just ask C. Kizer, or any of those nervy seventh period girls about it; also about Mable Z's new method of diving.

Omaha Triumphs in the Preparedness Debate
Last Friday was a day of direful woe for L. H. S. when Mulligan ancl three boys from Omaha came down and carried home the fruits of victory, viz: the new Amherst cup to be kept one year, only. This is the first debate in a series for the permanent possession of the cup, so there is plenty of time to come back in the future.
The Omaha team consisted of Messrs. Miller, Bailey and Rosenblack, while Francis Burgess, Estes and Slater UIJh e ld the honor of Lincoln High. Tho question was, "Resolved, that the United tSates Congress sllould udo11t the recommendations of the Secretaries of War and Navy for increased Armament." The judges rend· o red a unanimous decision in favor of Omaha, who upheld the affirmative side of the question.
Omaha won the d e bate on their JH'O · scntation. Th e judgrn declared that Lincoln did better in argument and re· futation, lrnt Oma ha piled up such a liig load in pr ese n t ation that they were given tbe decision.
While Jhe sc hcol regrets that. Mr. Hewitt's charges got trounced on this occasion, it should be borne in mind that this defeat do c s not impair their chances to win the district championship It is a grand little team aucl 'vo will stick by Li e m through thick and lhin.

THUJ;IBDAY, APRIL 20, 1916.
It has been suggested that we have several tennis courts on the grounds open to all students, all summer. We will have to pay for them if we have any. How much would they be worth to you: How much would you givi:- for them? Let's have your ideas.
ART AND MUSIC
Art is a simple little word with big meaning. Art means everything lovely and beautiful. In the different classes of Art there ·is some beautiful work being done. Mind work is what makes .real art. Our hands are only tools, with which to illustrate to others the picture appearing to the mind. Let us study the wonderful works of masters in Art.
Next to art is music. The chorus has been organized and the following people elected: · President, Exie Burgess; vice president, Richard O'Neil; secre tary and treasurer, Harold Leinburger and editor, Richard Chapman.
Mr. Miller is now going to start work for the May Festival. Our heartiest good wishes of succesJJ should be given Mr. Miller for his good work in drilling' us so faithfully in music.
Art renders quiet retiring and happiness in our lives, while music enlivens and is exhilirating. Both are important factors in social welfare.
THE ADVOCATE
AS USUAL.
The Ptolemies held their meeting Friday night in room 109. As there was no special program prepared, the evening was devoted in discussing several business affairs.
Clair Tyler, Harold Morgan and Ralph Fell were appointed as a com mittee of three to prepare a program for Stunt Night. It was also voted to have a baseball team this semester. For this delicate piece of work John Holahan was elected captain. Watch us skin the Phlogs and Ciccies again.
After business m eeting, a lively parliamentary drill was put into motion. Fat Fell was unanimously elected information bureau, having shown himself well fit for the position.
After the meeting th€1 gang adjourned to the hall and held a lively game of foot polo. If your not acquainted with this game come down and we'll show you how.
Next meeting Dr. Eiche will give an interesting lecture before the society. All out Friday, sure.

(If we showed their insignificance 'twould make an awful scandal!)
And those Seniors think they're perfect, but we chuckle UP' our sleeve,
For we know we're more important, although that they can't believe'. Why the class of 1918 is so brilliantcourse we crow!

BOYHOOD WISHES
When I was a child of four, I often wished to run A great, large, candy store, Oh! wouldn't it be fun! And all the1 candy I would get, And sell it very cheap, That would make our grocer sore you bet, For I'd sell an awful heap. ·
Then when I was a child of five, A cowboy I wanted to be, It would feel good to be alive, With no one there, but me, I wou1d ride along the western plains, And the lnjuns I would fight, I would the many little laj.nes, And not be 'scared at night.
Then when I grew to be ten years old, And had to fight the boys, I wanted to be a policeman bold
To get those naughty boys; I'd take · my great large "billy clt(b," And then I'd dump them in a tub 'Till they took back the words they'd said.
I've often pondered o'er these things, And tried to solve them out, · But it takes as much money as kings Must have to cure their 'gout. So what's the use of wishing now? And sighing all the day? And thinking of the when and how? When things won't come your way. -By Gertrude Fogelson.

On Wednesday, Mr. Quiggle. ex-president of the Commercial club, helped us celebrate Shakespeare's three h undredth anniversary. His talk was interesting and instructive and we v. is that Shakespeare had a "tercentenarv·• every week, just so we could hear Mr. Quiggle. He told us how to read Shakespeare and what to look for j'l. his works; this will be a great help to us all, especially those who are studying "Macbeth," etc.
Thursday was set aside for the ors but as they were unable to appear they were given Monday to adver tise their production "Mrs. Dot." Miss Muir, who has always been a loyal booster for the Class of '16, was on deck again and as much at home as she was touring New York ( ?)

BASEBALL
AND TENNIS
There was a good deal of stir in the old building last spring, the baseball fever had the school and it secme 1 as if every b :m -:!h of boys had a team. The boys' and different classes turn c·1 o-at good taems, whi :·h would come down here 1o practice and D1ay. All the bqseb-:i 11 f'o··er is not dead, for the boys of room ; 21, amon '5 them the celebrated Leslie and Halley Bowers. have challenged the school, their chnllenge bei ng immediately accepted by a pick-up G'.l m captained by Harry Brian. We expect to have another bush league 1his ye-:tr, for we have good grounds en which to play.
And while we are talking about good grounds for baseball, we can talk tennis also. There are ample grounds for both, and tennis is growing more popular because it is good exercise for practice. The school owns tennis nets, so dig up your racket and get out for a .good time.

SENIOR PLAY CAST FURNISHES MONDAY'S PROGRAM
On Monday the Seniors took the op· portunity of advertising their justly famous play, "Mrs. Dot" before the high school audience. The stage was occupied by a number of distinguished dramatic stars varying from Miss Exie Burgess, Billie Burke's rival, to the trio of agugust and dignified butlers The stars refused to get "fussed" by the publicity at at least were good enough actrs to conceal it if they did
Besides the privilege of viewing the cast the audience was treated to brief cpeeches by Coach Scott, Miss Muir and President Watson. The two forme1· orators, succeeded in raising a few modest blushes among the cast.
Af er expatiating upon the merits of 1he cast, Miss Muir spent some time in an anti -suffrage argumen t that a pea:rs in the play which she conside s as the only bad part of the play.
Mr. Scott of the University quic:kly won the audience over by his persona1ity and proved that his ability is not limited to coaching.
If play proves '""" ::in1l enjoyable as did the assembly, it will be well worth while and few students can afford to remain away.

ORGANIZATION
Now that we are all well started on the las t lap of our semester's journey , as we look back upon our past mistakes and resolve to do b e tter from now until credit time, the thought has struck our humble self that a good many of t he failures in scbool , as they are said to be in business, are due to a lack of system. In observing others we find that many of them are slipping along with the same bad habits that we ourself have formed. It seems that a good majority of us have the same plan of letting studies come when they may and studying each as the occasion demands and als o probably of putting off the hard work to the latest possible m ,oment, which moment seems i n· credibly short when it arrives. In other words what is needed is a systematic schedule with a set t ime for studying each subject, leaving the Lyric th e unscheduled time instead of getting Math on t h e run. Let's reduce the 110rcentage of "flunkers ! "
INTERCLASS TRACK MEET
The int ercl ass track meet will be held about May 5th, and everybody is eligible to compete. Get out and defend your class. The class of 1917 has taken the track meet and about every other /cl ass contest for two years, until it is about time for another to put a "kink" in their record

In Princeton one day a girl was dashing statiomvard when a train pulled out.
"Oh, dear!" she cried to a passerby, who happened to be Woodrow Wilson. "Is that the 5 o 'c lo ck train?"
"Yes, afraid it is," h0 answered. "Then," s he exc laimed in despair , "I've missed it!"

THE STUDENT'S SOLILOQUY
To "flunk" or not to "flunk"-that is the question; Whether 'tis nobler in t he mind to suffer
The slu rs a nd insu 1 ts of outrageous U-slips,
Or study o' er a great sea of poor grades
And by that study to escape them? To study-
No more , and by studying to say we end
The mortification and thousand natural shocks
That U-slips make us heir to, 't is a consummation
Devoutly to be wished for

Play given by Class of proves success
The Senior Play given last Friday evening in the High School Auditorium was one which surprised even the most optimistic by its excellence and which show in many respects almost professional excellence. The Class of 1916 was exceedingly fortunate in securing "Mrs Dot," since th e play is ordinarily withheld from amateur custs and was secured only by special permission. The audience was held by the charm of the play from the first to the last, and even such disconcerting accidents as the break · ing down of the curtain, failed to br e ak the spell
Exie Burgess in the title role, handled the heaviest part in the play with remarkabl e ease and filled th e part to perfection, giving the sam e snap and vivacity that made Billi e Burke famous in the same play As e xpr e ss e d by one of her lin e s "Really I think it's my personal fas cination! "
Perry Branch as the dignified an cl philosophical bachelor, made a decided hit. His dialect and dignified manner gave a decided realism to th e part of the man who said that, "A man is never safe from the charms "of woman until he is safe in his grave."
Frank Watson as the and unperturbed butler, gave much anrl "go" to the first act, brought th e audience into the spirit of the i1lay a t once.
Walt e r McGoogen mad e an ideal l oading man , and handl e d th e 11art of Ge r a l d Hals l one with the gr e atest of ease and grace. As a j e alous lov e r he looked exce e dingly dangerous and threatened of commit th e "undue familiarity" of throwing Blenkinsop out of the window.
B e rt Button and Eleanor who were th e young lov e rs of the play, easily captivated th e audi e nc e and held the stage in one of the most charming scenes of the play. Although constantly interrupt e d th ey found it "deuced jolly."
As the dignified and businesslike society matron, Lady S elleng e r. Olive Meeds succe e d e d in e nvelopin g herself in a fine interpr e tation of the part.
The minor parts many of whi ch deserve special mention, were all capably placed and carried through with precision and ability. The stage work was in the hands of Ralph Fe'l as s tage manager and Robert Hhtt, the

"It was a line," he said. "A line with nothing in it. A line as futile and unsa isfying as those lines of heavily advertised breakfast foods that have gone up in smoke.
"I remember when these lines were the rage, how one little girl said to another:
" 'I wonder what they feed dollies on? '

ART NOTES
The Art department of Lincoln High Schoo l is a living reali Ly instead of a vague possibility. We are a decidely important part of the institution and not simp l y "among those present." To illustrate: At Easter time we comple t ed a large number of Easter cards of original design and coloring which were sold to available and int er ested partons . This week we are making large paper folders for our own use and l ater for posterity. Sifted down we admit a few "abnormalists" in the shape of D. Curtis and W. G., who serve t o ke e p th e p 8p and fixatif stirr ed up.
The sew ing {>. la ss is no small part of our department, at l east not in numl' crs. Iuter es1i ng lessons about child Jn.tor and factory conditions co in cide nic ely with caps and pinafores wo hear .
'l'hen a l so in conclus i on, there is the extra priv il ege of j oi n in g the Art club, a recently and democra t i c so r iety, of whi c h we are liable to be proud some day . But the sustain in g power which keeps us united and delighted is Miss Pierce, of who m too mu ch praise ca nnot be sung.

A sponge is a water animal, full of pores, that soaks up large quantities of the water about it On being brought to the surface and placed in th 2 air, it dries up until it weighs almost nothing.
The same thing is true of a "spong e" in the high school. He soaks up t.he knowledge of his fellow students, because he is too lazy to t hink for himself. Then when he graduates, his borrowed knowledge evaporates out of the empty pores of his brain, and he finds that his high schoo l course ha s given him little or nothing for hi s future lif e's work.

The Weeks Assemblies
Fine as Usual
Tuesday morning saw us, as usual, singing from our song books, under the direction of Herr Miller The "assembled multitude" enjoyed the first number especially; it was a solo by Mr. Miller
Next day, Mr. Sanderson, of Rudge & Guenzel Co., addressed us. His topic dealt directly wlth what em· ployers expect of their employees and what the employee should do to hold his "job" and make a "position" of it. The novel way in which Mr. Sanderson dealt with the word "salesmanship" was pleasing and instructive Besides this, he told us the val· ue of "organization. " We were in· deed surprised we found that the firm he represents employs over tv,.o hundred and fifty people.
Thursday morning, Dean Davis, the Dental College, told us all about teeth. We were surprised that he didn't mention the "bicusped molars" or some other funny things, because, from the way some of the students o f dentistry talk, we thought that was all there was to it. Mr. Davis explained the necessity of keeping our teeth clean, by the fact that over ninetenths of the stomach diseases are caused by germs in the mouth. He a ' so impressed upon us the idea of d·oing whatever we did well. "Even if you are only picking u9 potatoeseventually -0wn the wheelbarrow "

Temple High Falls before Linco'n Debaters
Lincoln High wound up her debat· ing season with a victory on Wednesday, when they clashed with Temple High for the District Championship and the right to enter a speake r in the state debate
The question was the regular State League question: Resolved, that the United States Congre ss should adop t substantially the recommendations of the Secretaries of War and Navy for increased armament. The Lincoln team consisted of Francis Burgess , Forrest Estes and Laurence Sllltter The Temple High team consisted of John Roberts and Misses Shutr and Mitchell.
It is greatly to be regretted that this debate could not have been given before the whole high school , for the team has improved remarkably since their last etrort. Two of the speakers ,, Miss Burgess and Slater, are new this year, so every contest shows a big improvement. Most of the faults in presentation, which were criticized in the debate against Omaha, have been eliminated with the result that a very able, polished debate was delivered, a debate so creditable in fact , that the defeat of Temple High was no reflection on their ability, even though the decision was unanimous for Lincoln.
This victory opens the way for Lincoln to make an excellent showing in the state debate Only one speaker from each contesting school speaks in the state debate, but whichever one may be selected to upholfi the honor of Lincoln High may be depended upon to get first pla c e , at least

THURSDAY, MAY 4 1916
LINCOLN HIGH WILL KEEP OPEN HOUSE TONIGHT
'rhe studPnts and patrons are invited to the High School tonight, whf'n the patrons and teachers will entertain. A cafeteria tea will be served from 6 to 7: 30 o'clock, in the same manner as the students are served at noon. Business men are invited to come direct from business and take thefr evening meal in the cafeteria. They will then be conducted about the building to visit the exhibits by the different departments.
There will be various booths about the building, and home-made candies and ice cream cones will be sold, and, of course, a fish pond. Tb e various High School organizations ure preparing for their annual stunt night program, which will be given in the auditorium and probably in Room 426, the Music hall. Moving pictures will also be given in the auditorium.
The proceeds will be used by the Patrons' association to finish paying their pledge of $1,000 for the equipment of the cafeteria.
The program is so arranged that one may spend as mtlch or as little as he desires. You are cordia1Jy invited to be present.
In spite of the track meet, 326 was filled with "peppy" enthusiastic Seniors. Frank Watson presided for the tirst half, and Elizabeth Brown, the vice president, the last. A short report was given from the Play committee and a discussion or how to dispose of the money followed.
There was a much heated discussion as to a certain affair, a secret to all but Seniors. Too bad the Juniors can't know! A couple of class songs have been handed in, and the Class Song will soon be chosen and printed, so all Seniors can learn it. A motion was made and carried to send flowers to Harold Burnett, a member of the class who is very ill.
Say! Walter, get something new, The Seniors are ge ' ting bored with that "kid stuff."

His beard was long and white. It ga' e him the appearance of a patriarch of old. You could tell that he was becoming very feeble, by biR stooped shoulders ::md slow, halting gait.
A 1 though it was ihc old man was well protected against the chill winds of winter. His long brown overcoat and black woolen cap contrasted strangely with the whiteness of his beard and made him appear odd and quaint. He seeme c1 out

Just as he reached the entrance of the Steger building, in Jackson boulevard, he stopped suddenly, felt of his pockets and became very excited. He seemed to be badly scared or dazed.
"I don't know how it could have happened," the man said to him· self. "It's just awful!"
The more he felt of the various pockets of his overcoat, the more nervous and anxious. he became. Turning around quickly, his cheeks flushed and eyes staring, he exclaimed: "I can't understand it. It's too bad."
Several people rushed up to h im, and a banker, by appearance, put his hand on the old man's shoulder and suid: ''Tell me what has happened. Let me help you." The old man was so frightened that he did not answer, but kept fumbling in his over oat, while still a larger crowd gathered around him.
Suddenly he put his hands d"' ep clown in his pockets, and, with a sigh of relief, slowly drew forth lnng-, flaming red' objec1 s. "Oh, ii gasped, as he held them up to view, "I thought I had lost my mittens!"

A man wus brought before a police court, charged with abusing his team and using loud and profan e language on the street. One of the witnesses was a pious old darky who was submitted to a short cr oss examination.
"Did the defendant us e improper langauge while he was beating his hors e s?" asked the lawyer
"We ll, he talk mighty loud, suh."
"Did he indulge in profanity?"
The witness seemed puzzled, and the lawyer put the question in another form: "Uncle Aus, what I want to know is, did he use w ord s that would be proper for your minister to use in a serm on?"
"Oh, yes suh, yes suh," the old man replied with a grin that revealed the full w idth of his immense mouth; "but they'd have io be 'ranged dif· f'runt."

SAMMY, SMUTTY AND THE FLOWER
Sammy wriggled one bare toe in the fresh green grass and wrinkled his black shining forehead till his woolly head was all ridges and bumps The spring fever had caught Sammy, too He drew himself up with a long sigh, and as he reached a sitting posture he caught sight of a brilliant array of posies across the way, in the yard of Mrs. Davis
Sammy's big eyes sparkled. At last he had found a present for Miss Jane , bis teach er 8
Yes-that's the place for your Shoe Repairs and 5 cent Shines.
Sammy was a good trader and ten minutes later he trudged up the cluttered path of his home with the red gertnium in his arms.
He smiled at Mammy Lou, showing two rows of shining white teeth Mammy Lou beamed back at hiJll happily. But as her sharp eyes lit on the ftower he carried, her heavy Ups drooped.
"Say, Samual, wheah yo' git 'at tlouah ?" her hands rested on her hips.
"Oh, Mammy!" Sammy was very excited. " I axed a lady fer it an' she gib it to me."
"Samual, Samual Johnson; does yo' mean to tell me yo' all bin a beggin'? Hain't I tol' you offen 'nouf that hain't the manners of a gemman ?" Her whole being bristled.
"Noow, Mammy Lou," Sammy glanced reproachfully. "Rosie gib Miss Jane a great big rose 'smawnin' all made o' silk, and she had a yaller bow roun ' it, en so I want to gib her sum pin, too; an' when I sees this yeah ftouah Ah walk up an' tell 'at woman Ah trade mah little spotted pig fo' a flouah ! " Sammy glanced at bis mother, then proceeded, "an' she said tuh me that I could have a ftouah an ' keep mah pig, too."
Mammy Lou was somewhat mollified, so she sent her son to water the bright red geranium he had picked out.
Sammy fairly dreamed geraniums and Miss Jane for the next few days.
At last the blessed day came when Mammy Lou gave permission for Sammy to take the "flouah to Miss Jane."
In the e vening he w e nt out to get the plant.
His e yes bulged out, his mouth turned down, and even his ears drooped; his be 1 oved geranium was rooted up and torn to crushed bits.
His astonishment turned to anger and he muttered one word, "Smutty."
A fire seemed to take bold of him; like a tlash he flew to the barn
Smutty was lying blissfully on his back (To be continued )

A large crowd of students, patrons and alumni witnessed last Thursday evening the largest and best "stunt nigllt" ever produced by the High School. The "stunts" were all well chosen and produced with a vim that showed to doubter sthat the old Lincoln High spirit is still in good health.
The first "stunt" on lhe program was a short playlet by the W. W. W., \Vhi h was somewhat out of the ordinary and was we!l received by the a c.lien c e.
The second number was a very _ be::rntiful dancing "stunt" by the Alice Freeman Palmer society. Their act was a small May Festival, with Margaret Harmon as the May Queen, and consisted of several very pretty dances, including a solo dance by Donna Gustin, with the main feature a May Pole dance by a number of ihe girls.
Next, by way of variety, the "Curbstone Quartet" rendered z. few so:1gs. This "stunt" was a short one, but ihe rough-looking four produced some ! 0od harmony with "Roll 'Em Bones" :rncl u couple of other old favorites
Forowing this, the Shakespeare club gave a short playlet, entitle l "Vincinup," which revealed several talented comedians in their midst. rrhe makeups on some of the varionG r..pplicants for a job were especially clever.
The next act was almost a musicai comedy, "O Shah!" written by Dick O'Nei'l, and produced by the Phlogistons. The cast consisted oE the Shah, the Turkish army of two (2), the hero, the exe r: utioner and a chorus of the Shah's beautiful wives, includin of course, Fu ti ma, the favorite. Tlie plot was simple, but the comedy was good in spots.
A this another quartet, from noom 117, strove for harmonica 1 l 1 onors in several Their roi r es blennecl exrellently and the 0nly fault in their "stunt" was its hrevity.
Fol'owing them was a pretty singing and dancing act by the Kilkennvs "'ntitled "The Land of Let's Pre · iend."
The Junior orchestra, led by Pearl E. Oldt. fnrnished the next sPct.ion of the program and rendered several se 1 ections with professional exc ellew e. The orchestra consisted of ten p i 0 <'R. including traps

He + at one time occupied the • position of class sergeant-at- :i: arms.
This was followeJ by uno Lher singing a , t with dancing, by the G. D. S. girls. The "stunt" was called "The avajo Girls" and consisted mainly of lndia.n dances and songs.
The next number, by way of clivers10n. was a chalk talk by Oz Black, cne of our "great" cartoonists. who represented the Ciceronians.

Lincoln Hi9h Meets
Defeat in State Meet
Before a small crowd, in which High School students were conspicuously absent, Lincoln went down to defeat in the State Debating contest.
There were twelve contestants from the twelve districts into which the state is divided. These twelve speakers represented the best debating talent in the state and were chosen by a long process of elimination. The speakers were divided and part put on the negative and part on the affirmative side. They spoke individually rather than as a team, and as a suH the whole was rather disconnected but well worth hearing.
Lincoln was represented by Lawrence Slater, who has been leader of the team during "the past season. He had worked up an excellent speech, but he was a little short on presentation-the only real fault which the team had this year. He was much ham p ered by lack of time, since the Temple High debate came so late that he had less time than is provided for by the conference rules.
B u t we have no excuses to make. Jt is regrettable that Lincoln could not maintain that leadership in debate whi r h she has manifested in other activities. It was a fair, well-conducted, we 11-judged debate, and we have no fault to find with the decision.
rrhere was one regrettable feature connected with the debate. That was the attendance. Outside of a few personal friends and relatives of Lincoln's representative, the school was almost unrepresented. The school seemed to regard it as a personal little contest that Slater had entered, rather than a contest for a state championship in which the school mig ht win las ting honor.

Following this the Home Room 107 gave another comedy playlet called "Mrs : Willis' Will," which showed good dramatic talent and was well produced.
'fhe last "stunt" was a black-face minstrel performan c e by the entire Ptolemy society, which was rather long, but enjoyable The singing was one of its most pleasing features
As a whole the program , although a long one, was enjoyable throughout, and held the interest of everyone. The evening will go down in Lincoln High history as a great event and one which others will have to striv e hard to exceed.
A "Helpful Hint"
Aunt Martha was frequently praised for h e r culinary skill One one occa · s '. on, when a number of guests had dined with the family, remark was made concerning the beautiful appear · ance of Aunt Martha's pie, which had a pretty scallop on the edge.
Discussion arose as to the c ook managed to maintain such an even de sign on every pie, and Martha wa s s ummoned to the dining room and the qt·es i ion duly put to her.
The emotions of the guests may be imagined when she replied:
"Oh, dat's easy Ah jes' uses mah fa'se teeth."

PEP
Last Thursday, the student body had the opportunity of witnessing a performance Lhat illustrated the fact, betler than it has been shown for uome time, that Lincoln High is still b ac kecl by the old spirit and by a student body that does thing:;. Although heretofore heretofore out\vard signs igns have seemed to indicate that a new indifference was replacinP" that <•Jcl time "pep." it has cheered us up to find that the old "life" is still there. At the beginning of next year I his spirit of loyalty and initiative will be put to a greater test than it 0ver h a s been before, for the year will be begun not only with an a 1most new student body, but also with a new and inexperienced leader to replace the man who haR done much to place Lincoln High where she is. Therefore it rests with you, de·-u student, to determine whether Lincoln high shall flourish under the same loyalty as it or become a mere 0ducational machine.
THE ADVOCATE
There is a city within a city in this city of Lincoln, and many a Lincoln citizen does not realize this fact. Why? Because the main source of interest today is directed toward war; war with Germany and war with dandelions and possibly war in the future with mosquitoes. But, this small city in the midst of (not the sea) but of the city, carries on a peaceful war all the time, which is to bring about preparedness, instead of the preparedness for war, of this large continent. This miniature metropolis is governed by a mayor and many councilors, who make the laws and enforce them. These Captains of Order also lead in the battles of Education, and with patience and courage win battle after battle. They are near the close of another steady ronfl.ict, and now they are about to send forth that part of the army which was most successful, into the hardest of all combats. Senior, these so 1diers are called, and ah, how h"'"e-hty ::ind rondescending thev have grown. They have, for nine months, been the rulin<.; party, and have wielded the sceptre of knowledge supremely, but. who are these seconds already stepping on the heels of the leaders in the

Once more we plead on bended knees, with tears in our eyes, for the girls to grant us this one favor, l e t us take off our coats. I speak as one who knows.

The last u-slip has now been returned, and there's a chance to make until exams. Probably some folks will have to work pretty hard to save one final spurt. Only three weeks themselves, but this is ideal weather, and there's lots of time for good hard study.

ART NOTES
The sacredness or Easter is soon forgotten when pencil and instruc t ions are placed into the destructive hands of those who bear Lhe name of "art" students.
All symbols of that particular day, such as eggs, then chickens, or tulips and even Lhe lily, were hacked up into true cubistic designs.
Thanksgiving and Christmas had not passed by unnoticed or unpunished; why should Easter? If school was in session during the month of July, probably Washington would lose all his dignity in the hands of th e amateur cartoonists.
But \Ylly shouldn ' t th e beauty of Eas t er b e compensated? We find Emerson seldom wrong in his Lheories.
The results of the sales of the c ards are not so dis c ouraging, as the expense of the plale will be paiu for by the faithful and too hopeful ins tru c tor.
The Art class fund is not of such capacity as to r e turn Mr. Guilder' s unpaid -for pie c e of colored canvas, as parcels post is not doing a C. 0. D Lusincss, so the situation is rather for the instructor. Mr. Guilder is probably waiting for the rdurn of his picture or money in p b re of it. We would suggest sending him the 500 Easter cards which are now "sweating," ins; ead of th t: mon e y. in our treasury.

If the Advocate was the News probably all the noteworthies of the school would be called on to answer this challenge. Probably the unanimous decision of the teachers would be that the school needs more students and less pupils, the student body doubtless would say, less work and more play. Both of these contentions are true. The former will break out about three nights preceding exams and the' latter is already here. We have under construction tennis courts wherein the pupil may chase around swatting eagerly with an enormous racket at an inoffensive rubber ball. Then we are to have a straight away track for the speedsters of the school 1.o romp on. Besides this we need one more thing-Concentration.
When balmy spring comes, simultaneously twelve hundred and two en · rolled students gaze out the windows and sigh. Their mental process is :->bout as follows, (autoing)

All goes well until the week preexams. when the pupil begilts to wonrler if he hadn't better make a credit or two. Then for about five nights straight he (or she) sits up trying to cr::!m the contents of Bee· man anri. Smith's geometry, Tennyson's "The Princess" and West's Modern History into a small and inroirnable brain. Beine: unsuccessful in this, he undertakes to pass the examination without the knowledge, hoping that some sudden inspirat.iori or some mental message wi11 answer the
questions. Consequently, his grade in Caesar is approximately Z minus.

Handfull of Seniors Stage Battle With Juniors
Last week, Lincoln High witnessed the first "class scrap" that has been fought for several years. The fight started when two kidnapping parties with designs on the presidents of the Junior and Senior classes, mixed in a fracas just east of the school grounds last Thursday afternoon. Other small fights, captures and releases continuied through Thursday and Friday.
The first scrap was between seven Seniors, who were guarding a car belonging to one of their number, and some twenty-five or thirty Juniors, aided by bloodthirsty Freshies and Sophomores, who chose the safe side. Although several other Seniors came to reinforce the small band, the bulk of the Senior class had been 10 2ked in the room where they were holding a c1ass me o1ing and 1h :' re was at no time more than fifteen Seniors in the battle. Although several SenOPJ' !ln e d in n, (':tr, e 1 Pven m "' n re · rnained in tirn fight until truce was declared. The only accident to mar the occasion was the injury of Earl Porter, who was pushed agninst the fender of a car by several Juniors and suffered a badly wrenched back.
When the Seniors had withJrnwn in a car to rPpair the d:.!mage done, the mob dispersed. Later iho small Senior group, reinforced by more fel1ow classmen, who had now been r 'leased from class meeLings, scattered for the purpose of capturing in . autious enemies and succeede::l in gett:ng five within a half hour. The prisoners of war were handcuffed and put m a place of safety for the evening.
On Thursclny evening, a mob ol' some hundred Juniors, Soplrn and. Frosh bravely besieged the home of Frank W:ltson, and dared the nine Seniors inside to come out an:i f;ght. A number of Seniors had previo :rn : y decided upon Frank's house as a meeting place and were captured one by one as they approached.

Senior 'Skip Day' Proves a Decided Success
In spite of bad weather, poor car service, muddy roads and · several other discouraging elements, the Senior "skip day" of the class of 1916 proved a decided success and was supported by practically the entire class.
The program for the day started with an assembly at the usual time. The first number was a number of selections by the Senior orchestra, a superior brand of musicians who produced an excellent brand of music. Although the excitement somewhat disturbed the music at first, the charm of it soon held the audience.
After this number the entire Senior class, who had occupied their usual places in the balcony, marched down and occupied the stage, where they paused to give a few stirring Senior yells and sing the new Senior class song.
After marching out of the building the class took street cars or other vehicles to Capital Beach, where the picnic was scheduled. In spite of the drizzling rain and damp ground, almost every member of the class went to the Beach for the picnic. Here a variety of amusements awaited, including dancing in the pavilion with music by the Senior orchestra. A number of adventurous Seniors also tried boating on the lake, but the atmosphere was at times as damp as the lake, so this pastime was not unusually popular.
Although the program closed early, those who were absent missed a fine time, not to mention some excellent "cats" furnished by the committee.
who had tired of the fighting, unofficinlly agreed to a permanent peace and those once friends were friends again.
Although some Seniors complained of Lrnir harsh treatm r nt while 1ie.l by the Juniors, the "scrap" as a whole was in the friendliest of feelings and few on either side remained "p e eved" about it.
Although the fighting seemed to be a crude return to the primitive, it furnished excellent opportunity for letting out surplus energy as well as surplus class spirit, and did possibly as much or more goorl than harm.

SOPHOMORES
If anyone has heretofore maintained the slightest doubts concerning the size and enthusiasm of the class of 1918, a glance in 426 last Friday would immediately have dispelled all such emotions. All chairs and seating room were filled with occupants who certainly displayed class spirit of the highest type. Our last gathering as S'ophomores was surely a success.
With no important business befor e the house ,the meeting was soon turned over to the program committee and while the Seniors may have felt sorry for us we could have well afforded to have extended our sympathy to all who missed that program.
As first performer, Nathan Moser gave a piano solo, and Gretchen Morse wi.th her reading on the old darky mammy, may well be held responsible for all sounds of laughter issuing from 426, immediately following. Next and last, came a particularly humorous pantomime ,"If," in three acts, anrl. never before had we realized that Dwight Williams was so efficient with his powder puff and talking or that Marie Movius was so assuredly masculine. Leon McGoogan as a clergyman and Ed Gardner as a maid, were also decided surprises, and decidedly funnq. Let us hope that 1920 as depicted in "If" is more than four years distant.

Although the Advocate has been unable to achieve many of its idea 's and realizes that it has room for improvement, it wishes to express i ts hearty thanks to the student body for whatever success it has enjoyed. Especially does it desire to thank those whose literary contributions have helped it in its career an.J those who although not -regularly given such duti es have given their time t o it. And last but not least do es i t expr-ess the houe that the whole student body will in the future give it their support and make it the bigger and better part of a bigger and b ette r school.
THE ADVOCATE
The end of another school year is n e ar. To some i t is the end of a pleasant four years and to others only the fnd of 1he first chapter, with the real .ioys and benefits of Lincoln High School still to be unfolded to their fullest extent. Those who are leaving I am sure look back with pleasure on the tim3 spen t here and regret leaving the school that has meant so much 1o them. Others of us between the innocsnce of frrnhman and the dignity of s -: niors reflect with satisfaction on having done our best or regret vainly that we have lost many a golden opporBut whe""her we ve "stuffed" or whe' her we've "dug" th e re's an0 ' h e r y :- ar roming and we will work fo1• our own good and for rO v·h ,.<1er you be Senior, Junior, E'orhomore or Freshman roo<:;t f0r a ,:_ tetter, Lincoln High School.
Tho plan of not requiring final examinations from students who have averages of 90 per cent or above has been triei by a number of schools in the past few years and has been found practic:11. In order to attain 90 per cent as a final average a student has come up to the standard set by the s - boo' and if his average is 90 this is proof enough.
In one way a final examination is unfair, as a question may be asked upon wbi h the student is not prepared. This does not mean that he has not m<rntere'.l the subject, but that in he may have felt that particular phrase of tho subject unAlso he may fail partly because of the s'1rprlse the question has given him and partly because he does not reason so mu 0h in a test as he tries to remember.
For t}lese reasons it seems that exRmin::it5ons unfair and not a test of scho'rrship. and students whose grar1 es are above 90 should be excused.
A Line of Talk
•rwo telephone girls in different country exchang e s were having a chat over the wires on the subiect of dress. For fifteen or tw 0nty mi nutes they tlie topic, from ruches to furbe 1 ows and 1hey were in the midst of ar-coriion n1:--its when a strident, imnatient, imperative mqsculine hroke llD the symnosium.
"Ten-four-nine-two," the vo'.ce ye 1 led. "Are you there, S::im? Ah, at last! Hello, who is t11 .t speaking?"
"What line do you think you are one?" demanded one of the girls, indi!mant at being interrupted.
"Rea1 ly," c::ime the weary and disgusted reply, "I don't know; but from the gabbUng that is tToim; on I think I must be on the clothes line."
Verna Hyder Boyles, class of '07, was in town for Ivy Day.
Weren't Losing, Anyway
Last summer a party of friends were on a walking tour through the mountains of North Carolina. One day they were anxious to reach Eagle Nest by sunset, but were not certain the distance to be traveled. Meeting a native boy they inquirE:d: "Five miles." was the reply
After wa'king about six miles further they ran across another native and put the same question to him.
"Five miles," he replie<l.
They went on a.bout eight miles, then met still another inhabitant of the mountains.
"How much farther do we have to go to get to Eagle Nest?" inquired one corpu 1 ent member of the party.
"Five miles," came back to him
"Oh. Betty, what makes your hair SO rPd ?"
"Oh, had scarlet fever, and i t se ': tJed in my head."

Decided they would steal The Senior's worthy pr esident, And so allied, to work they went, And savagely their blows were sent, Dut soon they took to heel, As if they feared the pen.

Serious independent study rnluntarily carried on is sure to be producti\'e of real growth. Such is the \York of the Ptolemy Society. Its members are redblooded young men organized for a purpose. Commendable results are certain for the group and for the indiYidual.
PROF. )J, A. BEXGPTOX.
The last grand enca111p111ent on the ri\·er 0Jile marks the seventh year of our birth in existence. During the pa t year we ha Ye a record which we are proud of, and of course, gi\ es ri e to jealously that exists among our rivals . \\'e hm e rallied around our standard, unsheathed our sword, and stood up for our cau e like all Joya]. bra\ ·e. and true adherents should.
N e\ cr shall it be that the gold and blue were trampled in· the dust.
During the past year \\'e ha \·e held good and interesting meetings, meetings that are foll of pep and enthusiasm . As to entertainments, we have had a number of socials, banquets, picnics. etc., \\·here the broil of the meetings were forgotten. So brothers. as the old members go out and the new come in, continue to struggle on with that mighty power, preach loyalty till the words fall on deaf ears. o that in years to come . let it be said that there still exists the ame old "pep" as in the year of 1-9-1-6.
Here\\·ith are a few afficlm ·its of men who have add res ed our society:
An e\·ening with the Ptole111y • cientific Society means one more Yolumn of scientific, practical. and inspiring ideas. facts, and ideals added to the mind's library. Just think \\·hat a membership throughout his student career in this comm o n sen·ice. constructi\·e organization means to a "Lincoln High" student. and we \\·lll all pray that its good work may go on and on.
DALE P. STOt:GH.
I am in thorough sympathy with the Ptolemy Scientific Society and believe it will inspire them to do better and more• efficient work in science.
DR. H. H. \VAITE.
I con-icier the P. S .•. a liYe bunch of boys, putting their time to some good adYantage, other than fooling around fr:iternities.
F. H. HARRISON.
?\ot long ago I \\'as inYited to address a meeting of the Ptolemy Scientific Society which i1witation I accepted. The eyening carried me back fifty years in life to see these young men drilling in Parliamentary and voting upon question with cleli\·erations of older heads. I soon realized they were a body of bright young men, well \rnrthy the name of students.
\Vl\I. GRAY.
The Ptolemies are a wide a\\·ake, intelligent aggregation, and show remarkable ·'pep" in the pursuit of that difficult art, " elf impro\·ement."
DR. L. B. STURDEVANT.
I was very pleasantly surprised to discover the seriousness underlying the deliberations of the Ptolemy Society. The interest of the members in the vitally important things of life, is a compliment of the highest order. It would be gratifying to me to see the society's influence spread throughout the student body.

T hi s yea r, h oweve r , the debates were h e ld in chapel a nd mu ch interest was s ho wn . The late l eag u e d ebates w e re h eld on the question of preparedne s for wa r . Francis Burgess, Forrest Estes a nd Lawrence S late r m a d e up the r eg ul ar team this yea r, a nd they s u ccee d ed in capt uring eve r y state le ag u e debate. The o nl y defeat of th e year was admin iste r ed by O mah a in the first debate of a new series for the A mh erst Cup.
The fi r st d ebate was with ebra ka Military Acade m y. Lincoln won by an un an im u s decision. T h e" n ext debate, at \Vil ber, wa much closer, Lincoln wi nning again by a two to one decision. T h e district c h a mpi o n hip wa s won in the debate with Temp le J ligh , which Lincoln won by a n un an im o u s decision ] n the tale d eba tin g co nt e t, Lincoln was r ep r ese n ted by Law r ence S late r. IIe fai led lo secure a pla ce among th e thr ee high est, but cons id e r ing the fact that a ll save one on th e team were ent ir e ly inexperienced in debating , the r eco rd of the te am is very c r e dit ab le and peaks well for a s uccessful seaso n next year.
