The outstanding work of the High School also deserves special mention. La.st {)ecember more than 1,000 pupils « the Lincoln High School enrolled as members of the American Red Cross. A senior Red Cross unit has been maintained in the High · School throughout the year and has done a large amount of work. On account of their showing in senior Red Cross work the Red Cross authorities directed that the High School be not organized as a junior Red Cross auxiliaryan unusual exception. The civics and botany classes carried on a successful campaign in Lincoln for the ication of those species of the barberry bush that are dangerous to the wheat industry.

In this cam· paign the pupils of the schools were asked to tag the bushes and distribute an explanatory bulletin from the de· partment of botany of the State University.

Even this extended account cannot give an adequate conception of the innumerable ways in which the war has affected the life of tbe schools
It has touched every class room and the instruction in every subject A large part of the instruction in English, civics, geography, history, physiology, and hygiene, art, household arts and manual training, the sciences, mathefatics and many 'other subjects, centers in the war problems. There has been a wonderful quickening of the interest of the children in their work
The result has been better work in the regular school subpects than ever before, · notwithstanding the frequent loss of time from the so-called regular work on account of war activities. These far experiences will leave a permanent impress on the curriculums and methods of the schools.

MANY QUARTS IN SUMMER
During the past summer the regular kitchen help, in the High School cafeteria, consisting of eight women, and under the supervision of Mrs. Kinyon and Mrs Minderfer, canned 1;600 quarts o f fruit and vegetables. The surprising thing about this, however, is that the entire 1,600 -quarts was put up with only seventy-five pounds of sugar and eighteen gallon s of syrup. The different fruits and vegetables which were canned, are: Beets, cherries, apricots, peaches, red raspberries, plackberries, pears, tomatoes, and tomato puree, which is used in making tomato soup
The cafeteria is 'without a proper storeroom at the present time, but the Board of Education is expecting to build one in the near future.

"I am held responsible for all the 'calls' during the day and for the conduct of my ten 'sub-buglers.'

These two calls are given as the flag is lowered; cannon is fired just on the com11 of the first of the two calls.
of keeping all the calls timed correctly. Even the majors set their wrist watches by mine and all the rookies are confident that if their watches register 12 o'clock just when 'mess' call is blown they are running correctly.

I receive the correct time from the Telegraph Company three times every day and keep my 'clocks' accordingly."

"Oi'm not sure, , but I think it was the twinty-seventh."
"He was lucky. Many a man would have wint to the bottom on his first v'yage instead of waiting till the last."
"Right ye are. More people are drowned by water than by railroad wrecks."

950 ADVOCATE SUBSCRIPTIONS THIS SEMESTER ""
Tw9 hundred and fifty-Eix dollars and ten cents in In0ney for The Advocate has been taken in so far this semester.
This is better than has been done for the past three semesters. In the first semester of 1916-1917, $231.15 was taken in for subscriptions. In the second semester 1916-1917, $169.15 was taken in for subscriptions. A year ago $236.75 was subscribed. This clearly shows that The Advocate has established a new record which will doubtlessly increase a little more, ' due to the fact that there are some other rooms yet to be heard from.
1t is not too late to subscribe for the Advocate. Give your money either to your fourth period teacher or to Evar Anderson at the Advocate office.

THE FORUM
Mr. Adrian Newens, head of the University School of Music, spoke at the open meeting of the Forum Friday night. Mr. Newens is remembered as one of the most interesting speakers on last year's assembly programs. His topic at the Forum meeting was, "Public Speaking in General." "Public speaking," he said, "is important and is not a gift but is•·gained only by experience. The good speaker finds joy in addressing an audience. He is brief and definite. If his speech is only a sentence, he says it tersely and makes it to the point. To be able to get up, hit the nail on the head, and sit down is the great art of speakittig in public."
Mr. Newens pointed out that speaking ability is essential to every man whether he be a professional or business man. Every man is at some time called upon ·to speak in public. At that time he will be glad to have had a little experience. The average I man, however, should be glad to share his knowledge or opinions. To be a successful speaker one i should be able to adapt his address to the occasion. What is fitting. for an after-dinner speech may be entirely inappropriate for a public gathering. One way of gaining experience is to wrtte the speech first, even tho it is not memorized. This helps the student to think ac.curateiy and dearly so that at ·call he may be a:ble to stand on his feet and think to conclusions and speak without hesitation. Regarding the manner of address, Mr. Newens emphasized that one sho.uld be natural, to be himself and not try to imitate others' and remem· ber that any mannerism that calls attention to itself detracts from the speech. Mr. Newens gave many other good points in his talk.
offered a position as assistant chemist in the oil wells at Bartlesville, Oklahoma. He immediately took up the work and was soon moved from Bartlesville" to Arkansas City, Kansas, where he had charge. of a new plant just opened. Whtie thelre he was drafted into the service of Uncle Sam, and after several weeks in Fort Logan, Colorado, he was sent to the Edgewood Arsenals at Edgewood, Maryland. Here his work consists in making chlc rine for the chlorine shells. Carroll Mapes who was a student in L. H. S. for two years and who finished a course at ·the State Farm in 1914, is now chief engineer on a boat at Corre.gedor, Philippine islands. A:fiter his speech Marie Crownley gave several whistling solos which were greatly enjoyed.

Farm Craft Series in Schools
An important project of the Boys' Working Reserve is the introduction of a series of lessons in elementary farm practice in all the high schools of the country This series is being modeled after a series worked out by Dean Davenport of the University of Illinois and which has been tried ·out in many places during the past year

This will probably continue to be true on account of the supreme importance Of food production, the healthfulness of farm life and the fact that the busy season OD the farm is the S€aSon when school is not in session
The Reserve as other representatives of the State Government has insisted always that a boy serves his country better by attending school than by leaving school to work in any industry no matter how essential. While it isprobable that if the war continues more attention will be given to the Industrial Unit than in the past, it will be rather along the line of p'roviding for the education of boys already in

The Dramatic club will present "The Chinese Lantern," a comedy .in three acts by Laurence Housemann, in the high school auditorium on Friday evening, pecember 6.
This play was staged with marked success at the U. of C. and by the Arts and Crafts theater of Detroit. It tells a charming story, varied in appeal, and contains good bits of characterization. tI is well spiced with humor and is Clever thruout.
The scene is laid in the art shop of Mr. and Mrs. Olangtsi, whose son , · Yunglangtsi, a mountain of indoier.t fat, will become a great artist, t:he oracle says, if he marries Mee -Me-e, a little slave girl, belonging to Mrs. Olangtsi.

ENGLISH XV CLASS CALLS ATTENTION TO MAGAZINES
The members of the class in Eng· lish XV, who are making a study of newspapers and magazines, wish to direct the attention of the students of the Lincoln High School during "Better English Week" to some of the magazines that published the most distinctive stories in 1917, during the first ten months of 1918, and that have held· the highest average for distinctive stories for four years. They also wish to mention some of the writers of the most distinctive stories published in magazines during the last two years. Best Stories for 1917 No. of Per Cent Stories

As the Saturday Evening Post and Co1lier's are weekly publications, the average for Scribner's and the Century would be higher than fcir the other two.

THAT ROCK ISLAND TRAIN
Chug, Chug, goes the old Rock

cars, automobiles, and pedest1ians have to stop and wait until it passes.

DANCING AS AN ELECTIVE
Dancing should be an elective in the Lin<:oln High School curriculum, that is a class in which the common steps of dancing are taught. There are many students who do not dance, but who wish to learn and have no opportuni'ty to dn so. They wouldeagerly seize this opportunity were it · possible It has been successfully tried out in other schools and coula be made so here Our afternoon parties, class and organization a:ffafrs would be more success'fu I if more of .·1q11d dance and thf· \· ,,;1 -
NEW SIDEWALKS
The Lincoln High School has been finished for about four or five years and i<t is about time that the board sidewatks were replaced by cement ones. The board sidewalks giv e the high school grounds an unkept appear· ance. The boards in the present side; walks are very slippery, full of nails and dangerous.
'I'hos-e energe1tic high schoql students· who complain of having to lie : a bed mo ming for fear, in stirring about, of disturbing othe r p e rsons, wHl be permitted to rise an hour earlier in about seven weeks, when the daylight saving plan goe•s into effect for the summer.
The freshmen are adapting them,selves to the crowded condition in the cafeteria with the same graceful ease wiJth which a cat can be pulled by the tail backwards.
The next reform to be put through in this high school mus t be to es'tablisih on a solid foundation the right of every student to mind his own bll!Sliness. Too much unsolicited help is given amund this building by a few misguided individualsi who do not know •how to value another student's time.
'l'he Sweet Young Thing
Fur.coated
And be-gaitered
She airily hobbles along
Upon her stilrt-like heels. By art and fashion
She is defended from the cold
Except at one conspicuous
And vulnerable 'Spot, Where not less than three inches
Of reticulated silken hose
Expose her to the searching gaze or all the winds that blow.
Yet she is a sweet young thing, And walks in all the pride
Of joyous youth,
And cares not
For that bare
And inconsistent gap
Between her shoe-tops
And her skirt.

No student in Lincoln High School hereafter ea::i hold two "major" offices at the s ame time, according to a ruling of the student affairs committee. The offic es of class president, student council piresident, and high posi1tions on the Advocate and Links staffs are now considered "major offices."

QUINTET
BADLY DEFEATED
54 TO 22 SCORE REGISTERED AGAINST THE GAGE COUNTY BASKET TOSSERS.
GOODSON FLIPS NINE GOALS
Lincoln High defeated the Beatrice baslrntball quintet on the Beatrice floor last Friday night by a score or 54 to !:2. The game w a s a rough struggle throughout and the team reports many a bump from the contest.
The Beatrice boys had no look-in during the entire match, and the n ca and Black handled the ball most of the time. The Beatrice floor meas · ured smaller than the Lincoln cage and the home team had some trouble in getting accustomed to it Gcodson was in his old form and registered nine of the baskets for the Red and Black. Schapers came next with six tallies, and nearly all the t eam took their turn at the hoop. Th€ first half ended with the score 36 to 10 in Lincoln's favor.
The starting of the gam e was held up until 9: 15 o'clock waiting for the referee. Mr. Jackson. \Vhen h• <iid not arrive. both scho'.Jls decided to al low each coach to referee for if:l e h a lf Coach B. H. Beek refereed th e iirs ;

The idea of The Nebraska High school basketball tournament was conceived nine years ago in 1911, by E. 0. Eager, then manager of athletics in the state university. The first tournament co::isisted of twenty-one entries and was continued the next year, and year by year it has expanded until the tournament now ranks as the largest and best of its kind b the world.
The first cage carnival was dominated by the Beatrice quintet, Omaha aU:ct Geneva 'took the next two respectively. Lincoln ha1s been victor in half the tournaments already played.
All the teams played in one class before they were divided into three classes in 1915 a::Jd in 1918 the cla1sses were ,expanded to eight divisions. The classification is made dependent on the ability of each team and their standing for the season.
The winners of the previous tournaments are as follows:
1911-Beatrice
1912-0maha Central
1913-Geneva
1914-Lincoln
Class E, Scribner
Class F, Gretna
Class G, Boelus
Class H Osmond
1919-???????
Tomorrow we play the winner of the match between the Aggies and
Ben H. Beck, coach of athletics and director of physical education of the Lincoln High school, who has bee:i. elected head coach and director of athletics f.or the Nesbraska Wesleyan University for 1920.
The election of Mr. Beck to Wesleyan is going to be a bitter pill for the Lincoln High Students to swallow after the briUiant season through which our coach ha's piloted the teams. Mr. Beck is one of the most highly successful coaches of the high school circles.

Several of his shots were so close to dropping through that the crowd took a long breath while watching which way the ball would overbalance.
Shelton was the winner of the Clas s B games last year, but it was the black horse team in Class A this year. The first game it took from Stanton and in the seeond eliminated the Norfolk five. Friday evening it received the biggest boost when it took the measure of Omaha Central in a close game of 7 to 5 and then won in the finals.
The trophy of Class A was presented in the form of a large silver basbetball on a standard instead of the usual trophy of a In Class B Sutton completely :werwhelmed Arlington in the final by a score of 39 to 12. At the beginning of the match Arlington showed some fire and promised to make it hard for Sutton but soon slowed up and Sutton had the game clinched.

One of the biggest surprises of the first round was the elimination of the Red and Black at the hands of the , Omaha Commercial high quintet. It was the first victory of the Omaha lads on their march through to the finals. The Commercial lads were $168 37 small and fast and since it was the first game of the tourney they were $706.72 fresh from practice. ..The final score was 12 to 6 in the Commercial quintet's favor.

First Long Pant ·Suit
There are plenty of boys in High School who are ready to buy their first long pants suit. And it is a problem with them as to how they are going to get · clothes with all of the smart style features of Young Men's Clothe$ of the day, and at the same time get clothes that will fit their youthful figure.
LANGHAM HIGH CLOTHES
Are expressly made for the Younger Young Men. Boys who want style and fit of their older brothers; but who know that ordinary Young Men's Clothes will hang on them like a sack. High clothes fit youthful forms, which accounts for their immense popularity.
Let your first Long Pant Suit be a Langham High. You will have more confidence in your clothes and yourself ever after.

INTEREST IS AROUSED IN BROI\.EN BOW DEBATE.
NEXT DEBATE WITH WILBER
The debating schedule for 1919 has been announced, subject to change with notice. It has been a hard task to mabe a schedule because so many of the larger Nebraska high schools do not have debating teams this year. However a good schedule has been made. and a good start toward winning the state championship. Elmwood was defeated in a practice debate and University Place went down to defeat in the first round of the state league debate. The schedule is as follows: March 31-League, Wilber at Wilber. cause there is a decided lack of ex- Lhat a dau"e in a certain write-up. council will send letters to all Ne- No date-Regular, Fairbury at Fairperienced material.

"Nick," who holds the state title for the one-mile, is also excellent material for the half-mile stretch.
Kelsy MacMeekin is the only other veteran from last year's squabble in which he took third place on the quarter-mile stretch. He is also rated as a first-rate man ott the 100 and 200yard cinder path.
Among the other boys who have already been warming up for the different events before the formal call wa "' issued are several who show some promise.

PARK YOUR GUM Have Been Received From Our Waist Buyer Now In New York City.Every one is interested in the new blouse modes--and a delightful collection of the later season models are now on display.
Gum-chewing appears to be one of the most highly-developed arts of the I modern age in Lincoln High. Of 'j course it is not limited to our school I for everywhere you go, to church, to the theatre or even to an informal party you will see some jaws con; stantly in motion. From the way some persons ehew gum while studying you would think they consider gtim·chewing an aid to 'brain power.
$If a person really enjoys this exercise, it hardly seems fair to deny him the pleasure yet all of the teachers and most of the non·chewing students prefer not to see it in the classroom.

When a Boy Passes Into High School
We are frank enough to say that the young ladies have much to do with this sudden acquisition of pride.
You will notice the happy look on the young lady's face, in the above illustration, whose escort is properly attired; and you will also notice that the other young lady's evening is being entirely spoiled by the careless, shiftless, dont-care appearance of her male companion.
Boys, it makes a difference.

younger young men, who must have style, fit and fabric equal to older young men; but have always experienced trouble in finding a fit for your youthful shoulders and waist.

As Lincoln has been quoted widely throughout the country as leading in the movement against these tight skirts, high school girls are asked to aid and not to hinder.
There are many reasons why the high school should work for this movement.
The Woman's Club originated it.
Two hundred ninety-seven cluhs throughout the state are following the lead of the Woman's Club.
Chicago took up the movement and quoted Lincoln as the leader.
From Chicago the movement spread.

With the new building came the better equipment. There came the swimming pool, the print shop, the manual training and domestic science departments. A cafeteria has been established and every student is doing his share in operating it by his cooperation.
There are many other changes which have taken place in school within the last few years and there are many improvements which we are working for. We are still improving the looks of our campus. Better equipment for each department is being established. Along the line of student government and school pride there is still much to

Our gratitude is due e3pecially -to the following:
To the students who ha,.re supported U3 and subscribed for the paper.
To -the advertisers, without whom we could not have issued- the paper.
To the Star, for the generous me of their cuts.
To Miss Hudson, advisor and sponsor for the Advocate, who has the admiration and appreciation of the staff. There have been difficulties to surmount in the issuance of the paper and it is largely due to Miss Hudson that we hwe overcome those which we have enc"Juntered. Because of her efforts the office has been equipped and numerous books and records have been made which are of great value t"J new staffs. She re:ids the copy and we seek her advice concerning assignments; in fact tli-is is the article we have published without her knowledge.
And finally we wish to thank everyone who has assisted us in any way <luring this semester.
