STUDENT COUNCIL REOUIRl:MENT

The Student Council, is the one organizatiou in Lincoln high which is vitally important to every studem here. To provida opportunitie&' for stud ent cooperation in the government of the school, to promote worthy stU· dent activities and the general welfare of the school, though only part of the purvose of the CouncH, clearly shows that it is for the benefit of all, and not a few. Not only for these things does the Student Council aim, but for a strong school spirit, high scholarship and g<;-od attendance. It is for the students, by the &tuden::s, of the stu· dents, and deserves the serious consideration of all.

Who may be a member of this student government )rganization? Twenty representatives of all the studenth, by the school at large and a home room represen.ative body make up the membership of the Student Council.

Certain qualities are necessary before one may be chosen to represent his schoolmates on the Council. A democratic, unselfish spirit is absolutely essential. Nor can a member be without a sense of justice and fair play. A willingness and ability to work and serve and give any amount of time are things that must be taken into cons'ideration.

The first requirement is that they must have bad English VIII or be 1aking it. Then the Advocate board and choses the editor, managing editor, and business maQager. The business department aids ill the selection of the business and circulation manager, by recommending students for these posmons.

The editor, managing editor, and business manager together with the teachers of the advisory board Jneet to vote on the recommendationll of the teachers of the nglish departnient, and in this way the other mernbetts of the staff are chosen.

The Lincoln police, realizing that a serious situation has bee neglected, is taking a new stand on the subject of speeding and is going to do its best to curb this speed mania. Judge Whitmore holds that parents of boys are often to blame for the breaking of the speed law and is of the opinion that a high school boy has no busi.ness with a car. After the serious accident last week, high school students will surely not have to be urged to co-operate with the police and keep within the speed limit.

SOAP AND TOWELS

Everyone is justly proud of the wonderful architecture of this 'lmilding and the way in which the business of the day is managed, but there is a slip in our boasted emctency. All other public institutions, even in the department stores of the city, furnish paper towels and soap in great quantities to their patrons.

Ordinary regard for health, uemands that consideration for the crowds that pas through the st<•res. Students come here to spent! practically the entire day, and although they do have hot water, they do not have soap with which to cleanse the hands, nor paper towels to dry t.hem.

It is but a simple precaution to take to safeguard the health of those students upon whom the nations future rests! We want soap, we want paper towels, and we want them now!

STUDENT COUNCIL

Student council elections are so important that the question, "Whom are you going to vote for?" has been under discussion more in Lincom high this week than any other subject.

Since these elections are so important, each student should t<J.ke it upon himself to see that he votes for the proper student when the time comes. Now the question arises, "Who is the proper person?" The proper student is not "Mr. Facing Both Ways" who is not guided by his own beliefs and ideas, out in-

And it pays every time to be kindly. Although we feel worried and blue; If you smile at the world and look cheerful, The world wm smile back at you.

So try to brace up and look pleas:tnt, No matter how low you are down; Good humor is always contagious, But you banish your friends vrtt!l a frown.

I'm not sitting-not restingin Mr. Pickell's office. He has already told me what he thinks of me, and he is going to call my Dad. Oh, but I'm I hear my bad outside. Yes, he has at last arrived. It seems hours since Mr. Pickell called him. He's just opened the door. Gee, but he looks mad. Now he is telling me what he thinks of me. I fell like a jailbird who has been given a "life sentence." I've been in here for half an hour, and they're still talking strong. But at last I'm told to go. My dad is coming out with me. Look up and down the hall hoping that no friend of mine sees my dad with me.

But there is a. girl I know coming my way. I speak as politely and quickly as possible so that she will keep going and

not see my dad.

These twenty former Lincoln high school students have given their lives in the great· struggle for liberty and democracy in the world war. In commemoration of their sacrifice. the service record ·committee of the stu· dent council, is planning to ereet a handsome memorial tablet in the near future. This is to be of cast bronze. The design selected will be simple and appropriate. The me· morial will ·be placed in the main entrance of the building where it may bt;l easily seen by the students as they enter or leave the building. To the future generations of students it will constantly serve as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the great war.

It has been found that it is a diffi· cult matter for the service record committee to make sure of the complete list of men who should be honored. As it is impossible to alter a bronze tablet once cast, it is absoultely essential that an names be in· eluded at the first. Since the record dates back many years, perhaps there are some former students, long out of school, who have fallen. but whose names 'so far have been overlooked. Any one knowing of others whose names should be included on the memorial should report them to the service record committee. of which Miss Lucy G. Green is chairman. This co-operation will .be deeply appreciated.

BOYS' GLEE CLUB

The Boys' Glee Club, under the supervision of Mr. Ferguson is working on a number of good vocal numbers. It is hoped that a concert may be given in the near future.

GLEE CLUBS

The chorus and glee clubs will begin practice next week for their annual mid-year concert. The Norwegian cantata "Lore from the 8aga of Eric the Red" will be given. This cantata is of the same character as the "Mound Builders" which was given last year. Four hundred mixed voices will be supported by the orchestra.

The glee clubs and the string quartette gave several programs last week at the teachers institute. The string quartette is composed of Mr. Righter, Willard Johnston, Leland Wood and Koby Sirinsky.

And with tomorrow morning's sunrise it will be new, and will continue to stay new as it greets you every morning with the light of each new day. It's one of those happy heart-deep styles that never seem to age-like "Home, Sweet Home," and as full of harmoney to the eye as that old-new song to the ear. It is christened the "The Prep." in the harmonious family.

Designed for men nearing the twenties, it appeals to those of two score who have slowed up the clock of time and resolved to hold to youth yet a long span.

Norfolk Held to 21 to 0 Score by Red and Black Warriors in Grid Game Friday

MOCKETT IS INDIVIDUAL STAR

The Red and Black was again victorious in a hard fought game wtrh Norfolk Friday afternoon, when it piled up a score of 21-0 on the university athletic field

Features of the game were Mockelt's gains, which closely duplicated tne work of Rhody Lamb in the Sioux City mixup, Thomas' defensive fighting and the passes of Norfolk, only .:ine or two of which were incomplete.

On the defensive, the visitors failed to gain more than a yard or two except when they resorted to the aerial route. They resorted to the pass frequently and with great success in the :first half.

The first quarter was not marked by any particular activity on either side. Norfolk made three complete

"DEAD ONES"

There is an old saying that ·•Nobody loves a fat man". That may be true in some cases, but not in all, for we all know some fat men who are very popular. But fliere is no doubt that everybody despises a "dead oPe." By that is meant a person who never takes any interest in what goes on around him, or a person who, the snail, always stays in his own house. Even though Lincoln high is a large school, we have no room for "dead ones." Every one must be a live wire to make a success of things. By being a live, active student you will profit in many ways.

GIRLS IN ADVANCED COOKING ARE SERVING MEALS TO TEACHERS

The serving of meals to teachers by girls taking advanced cooking, a meal serving course, is a new feature of the home economics department. Students who pass by the home l'conomics laboratory during the second lunch period, seeing teachers seated at a daintily appointed table and being served by white-aproned girls who have carefuUy prepared for them the most appetizing of menus , wish fervently that they were of the faculty.

However, even teachers must take "turns" and so it is never the same group that eats in solitary grandeur.

Omaha Central beat South Omaha by a 74 point score in an outburst of brotherly affection. it 'not for the manner in which the, game was played and the substitutions, one would be led to e.xpect that Lincoln was in for a beating November 15 (but nothing of the kind ts eX!pected).

Lamb did not get into the fray until the last quarter and although greatly handicapped by iln1juries, pulled off several of his usual nifty bits of field running. Lewellen stuck through three quarters of the game and besides boot· inv the ball to the goal line on kick· offs, added two Lincoln tallies by open field runs through nearly the entire Packer eleven" Holland made the longest run of the game in a dash of fifty yards in the fimi.l quarter. Thomas was injured early in the ga.me and Mattison replaced him, making a good she>wing during the rest of the clash. The Lincoln line held and showed good organiation as· did the backfield. The Packer line was punctured at will and her runner.s were frequently thrQWD for losses by the Red and Black ends.

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, KOVEMBER 25, 1919.

Published Weekly by the Students of the Lincoln High School

Slow Game in 6 to 0 Victory .for the Warriors of the Red and Black.

MANY SUBSTITUTES USEDI

The Red and Black emerged again victorious from a ragged battle Friday with the State Farm Aggies. The game was played on the Aggie field and the final score st(){)d 6 to 0.

The Aggies greatly outweighed the Lincoln perf0rmers and made nearly all their gains by means of line plunges. The Aggies were at their best on the offensive and although their end runs and passes were largely failures, they bucked the line persistently for substantial gains. The Farmers lost out on defense, being outpointed by the Lincolnites in this respect.

The Red and Black were handica1ped by the absence of several of thei.r best men who were held out on account of injuries. Parker took the place of Captain Pugh who was out on account o fa badly wrenched knee. Wilcox substituted for Lewellen and Deffenbaugh switched to left half in place of Mockett, who held the helm in place of Lamb. Marriner t(){)k Deffenbaugh's place at full.

ASSEMBLY CLOSES WEEK

"There are six kinds of English, good, better, best, bad, beastly and abominable." This was the statement made by Doctor A. L. Bixby in the Better English assembly last Friday. Doctor Bixby has spoken to Lincom high school students many times before and has always been received with enthusiasm. Concerning the American language he salC1 tmH ft" bad a larger voiabulary and more outlandish dialei:ts than he was able to enumerate Dr. Bixby stated that thP best English was to be attained by familiarity with the works of the best writers and speakers. He also said that we did not wish to return to the "bunebeadperiod,'' a time when man had no words with which !o express himself and when all courting was "rough stuff."

The program of the morning was as follows:

The play was written by a committee composed of Thomas Cur:-an, Fern Jackson, Carol Cornell, Mary Roward, Francis Williams and Cathleen Airy. Miss Atkins was the chairman in charge. It was a good one-act comedy and featured a high !iCUool student who had lost the opportunity of playing quarterback in a big football game because he bad failed iu his English work. After dropping out of school he obtained a position with the fa·m of Piller & Maine, but was not to retain it because of his poor Fnglish and discourteous manners. At last, after failing in several attempts to make a successful salesman, he realized the need of good English training and decided to resume his school work.

The activities of &tter English Week began Wednesday morning with Tag Day. In each home room a 1.-0.u..1mittee of about one-fifth of the number in the home room was elected or which bore the legend, "L. H. S., English? B. El W." The members ot this committee were to tag any one whom they heard using incorrect English in the halls or during the lunch hour. Those tagged were allowed to place their tags on any fellow student er teacher guilty of incorrect usage. The following faculty committee were in charge of the plans for the week: Publicity and Publications-Miss Hudson, Miss Miller, Miss Gray, Mr. Betzer. Program for Assembly-Miss Atkins, Mrs. Newlon, Miss Fitzgerald, Mr. Ferguson, Miss Muir. Posters and Placards-Miss Kirk, Miss Duncombe, Miss Fitzgerald, M'iss Wilson.

Dents

Beatrice opened the season this year with the strongest outlay of materi,al it ever had. The Orange and Black were in possession of a complete squad of lettered men. The Beatrice eleven started under a hard but well arranged schedule and proceeded to ruin the ambitions of every team in the state it met. It has won every game so far this season with the exception of a battle with Lawrence, Kas. The Beatrice aggregation has a very heavy line that is not slow by any means. It has a fast, hard-hitting backfield and what is more to be feared, it has organization and a grim determination to win the championship. It has men i 'nthe backfield who are freely acknowledged to be of the best in state high scli.ool circles, players whose per· ception of the enemy's weaknesses and usage of their knowledge has enabled them to score on all of their oppa- l Projects for English Classes-Miss Putney, Miss Foster, Miss Armstrong, IMiss Glass, Miss Green.

DICE THROWING

Dice throwing is getting to be a popular sport among boys, both on the campus and on the Hi-Y grounds. Every day before and after school and during the lunch periods innumerable groups of boys are seen "shooting craps." Persons going past the building surely get a· bad impression of the students, of the institution and of the iclelas of Lincoln high when they see these games of chance going on. They not only get the wrong impression from seeing the "crap shooting" going on, but also from seeing boys matching pennies or smoking. These things throw the wrong impression on us, on the school, and on the Hi-Y. Then why not eliminate them here at school at least? The student council and the members of the Hi-Y are domg their best and the co-operation of every boy is needed.

Have you noticed the new Advocate sign above the door of the Advocate office, and the new bulletin board to the left of the door? Until this time there has been no way by which new students could identify the Advocate office and it is for this reason that the sign has been purchased. The bulletin board will have cartoons, exchanges and other things of general interest to students.

HOW ABOUT MUSIC AT THE BEATRICE GAME?

One characteristic of our home football game is that there are always so few rooters for the visiting teams. To this fact we can probably attribute our victories, since we have had it drilled into us that a victorious team must have the student body back of it. The truth of this statement was proved at the Omaha game, and at York, last month. At York there a liberal turnout of Lincolnites, but at

Hi Y News

Training was emphasized by F. O. Kelly at the discussion held Thursday noon at the Hi-Y.

He stated that a boy who traineu and finished high school and co ege would have at least a hundred positions offered to him. By citing an in· 11tance of how the Carnegie Company looked for three months for a man to flll a $1,000,000 position. He demoustrated that trained men arl\ scarce and in demand. If you advertised for an elevator man at a salary of $100 per month, he said that you have over 100 applicants; but if you I: advertised for a man tb fill a $10,000 I position, your advertisement would not be answered. About sixty boys were present at the discussions at each lunch period. Places were reserved for thirty-five who had previo;1sly made appllcation. Many of the decisfons which are made on the questions discussed will be used by Mr- Kelly in his industrial work.

The Cafeteria Situation Will Soon be Relieved

Mrs. Kinyon Planning Extensive Change in Present Method of Handling Lunch Lines.

Many New Pieces ,of Kitchen Equipment Will Be Added With New Plan in Lunch Room.

In a short time the Lincoln high school cafeteria will undergo a change which will probably be the greatest made in that department and will have a distinct effect on the mnch line situation, long deemed unsatisfactory, according to a statement made by Mrs. Kinyon, the lunch supervisor, a few days ago. Unaer the new system, planned by Mrs. Kinyon, more than three hundred persons can be accommodated in tw enty minutes of the lunch peuou whereby the present system allows less than two hundred and ntcy to be satisfactorily served in the same time. The equipment necessary for the change will arrive in a short time an d the construction of the additions will be made upon the arrival.

1. It links up school 'Wfth that much abused business term "efric1enry." It makes a bond between real life and what so often, for the high school boy, is the unreal but necessary evil.

2. It raises questions as to what makes efficiency. It emphasizes the part that habits play and aims to lead the student to see that each one, good or bad, leads somewhert.

Lee Weeks, Form'« Lf acoln High School Student Jlisked Life

Z.'1nl Canned ••Willie'' Only Act ot Brr.Tery Ba.ya Weeks On :&Mm. ·

Only One Ship a.Dd Eight Men Lost Prom Pleet of Thirty. sis: In Entire Operation.

Lee A. Weeks, a former Lincoln b.llh school student, was a member of the famous "Suicide Fleet" whose duty it was to explode the 70,000 mines that had been laid during the war, and to bottle up the Huns in the North Sea.

Weeks insists that the hardest thing about the Job was that for six :months they Jived on canned "willie." He thinks that was why ea.ch member ot the famous fleet was cited, for it takes a hero to do that, he admits.

First Class Quartermaster Weeks, was on the sweeper "Rail." The ship left the United States last April and did not return untll November. Al though the task was a dangerous one, only thirteen men and one ship of the entire fleet was loet during this time.

Because of the dangers, many precautions were taken. No men could appear on deck without a lite saver &trapped to him. It a man fell overboard while they were sweeping he was thrown a life buoy and left to wait for another boat to pick him up All water tight d<>ors, air ports and hatches were kept tightly clo11ed.

Mines were constantly exploding directly behind the ship a few yards, &Dd sometimes under them. These JI).ines· did not have to have a ship n.n into them to explode them. They were so sensitive that they would ex· plode 1by the hull of the ship at a distance of 1'50 yards. A heavy load of negative electricity was sent through the ship, by a generator, along the Ylre to the bow of the boat to contract the positive current created by the motion of the steel !tow throqh the water.

The mtnes were so powerful th1Lt a submar1ne would be badly at least, it not sent to the bottom by the ei:ploeion. The Dllnes could not be picked -0ut of the water after the armistice was signed but each mine had to be exploded.

For six months the fteet moved among exploding minee. Huge jets of water were sent up by each mine when it exploded, and often the water would fall directly on the ship, which listed heavily to one side and wa.s in danger of sinking. Lookouts were kept for floating mines which had torn loose from their anchors and which would blow up the ship it hit. Fragmants of exploding mines were always falling on the decks.

Josephus Daniele, secretary of the navy, speaks of the work of the "Suicide Fleet" as one that will go down in the annals of naval history as one of the navy's greatest achievements.

When the German fleet bottled up the "Scapa Flow" last June, scuttled their ships, Weeka was within six miles of the harbor. His ship was ordered to hurry to port and stand by ready to give assistance to the British ships on guard if necessary. From the "Rall" be sa.w a number ot ships go under at the band of their own 1allor11.

When the United States lrst suggested that the Germans be bottled up in the North Sea by .placing a mine barrage acro81 the north end of the 11ea, the allies thought it Impossible. Finally GTeat Britain was convinced of lte posalblllty and the two undertook it. Whea completed it proved to be the one dominant factor in bringing the submarine warfare to a close. ;After the chain of mines waa laid German submarines were no loager a men&ce. It waa impossible for a ship to penetrate the wall. The work of laying the mines began June 8, 1918, and was not completed until the twenty-sixth of October of that year. They were laid tn twentytbree systems of atraight lines overlapping each otler, and at a depth of from 45 to 240 feet The mines were laid automatically by eight ships. On the stern of each ship was a chute from which the mines dropped at intervals of thirty seconds as the boat steamed in a straight Jine. After the signing of the armistice It waa necessary to rid the sea of mlnea. To do this thirty-six mil!e sweepers each ca rrying a crew of'

damaged another would rush to its assistance and repair it or buoy it up and tow it into dry dock The "Richard Buckley," a Bri t ish was the only sweeper to go .to the bottom. Eight American -sailors wen with it.

The question for· debate was "Resolved that the League of Nations Shhould be Adopted by the United States." The sophon.ores upheld the affirmative and the seniors the negative side of the question.

There were but three classes rom· peting for the debating honors this year. The freshmen bad no team.

The members of the Senior team were Robert Fling, Herbert Brownell Jr. and Robert F. Craig. Robert Chase, Hugh Cox and David Webster defended the affirmative side for the sophomores. The judge was Guy Chambers.

TEAM IS GIVEN SEND-OFr

The last assembly of the semester was held Tuesday, January 20 In the midst of ftying airplanes the basketball teat. was given a send-oft' for the first home game of the season, which was played with Omaha Cen· tral the following Thursday. After competitive cheering between the lower floor and the balcony, Mr. Culler introduced Lyle Holland, captain of the 1920 basketball squad. Holland told of the University Place game, and said that if Lincoln supported the team the way University Place supported hers, there would be a thousand Lin· coln high rooters at the Omaha game. Coach Mead said that the pril'Ylary reason for having a big crowd a t the game was not for thtt purpose of mak· ing money, but that incidentally the treasury would be nelped out.

CENSUS I SHOWS 53,324 LINES 1

Wiwhington, Jan. 16.-According to the report about to be issued by the Bureau of the Census showing the results of the census of telephones ronvering the year 1917, there are 53,23• separate telephone systems a nd lines. These iines and system operated 28,827,188 miles of wire in the UnUed Sta.tea-enough to girdle the earth, at the equator 1163 times-and connected 11.716,520 telephones and 21,175 public exchanges. The m,essages or 'talks' '1ent over these wites aggregated the stupendous total or nearly billion, or, to be exact, 21,84:5,722,336. Figured on the estimated population _ .of the country in 1917 this gives 211 messages per annum to every man, woman and child.

The industry in 1917 gave employment to 262,629 peraons of whom 171.119, or over 65 per cent, were women. The sum paid out in salaries and wages amounted to $175,670,449. These emplOyes operated plans and equipnwnt valued at $1,492,329,015-, which yielded operating and none-operating revenues of 1391,499,631.

The report discusses the develo!.)· 1 ment of the telephone industry, telephone equipm,ent and traffic; offers interesting comparisons between the Bell and otller system, and between the telephone system as a whole and the telegraph system; and gives important ftancial statistics of the industry. Detailed figures are presented for 1917 by and geographic divisions and comparative stati6t1cs for earlier yeal'I,! The statistics for 1917 are believ0d to be more accurate than for any pteTioUS census, due to the uniform system of accounts provided for telephone coJllll)anles by the Interstate 'Commerce CoDinili!sion, which have •beeD in use since January 1, 1913. The Bell telephone system controlled over four-tlfths of the total wire mileage, employed over three-fourths of the employees of the industry, paid over four-4lfths of the total bill for salaries and wa.ges and received nearly fov-flfths of the total revenue.

A soldier had called and asked for something. Mrs. Va.11derbilt told him to come the next day and shE' would have the article for him. When he inquired as to whom he should ask for, she told him her name was Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt. "Aw: Quit chur kiddin," he replied, "and tell me your real nan1e."

Miss Howell, at one time was stationed only three miles from the home of Joan of Arc. There at Domremy, on the steps of a temple built where Joan tended hPr sheep, they gave the pageant of Joan of Arc, in which Miss Howell took the part of Mother of France.

She also told of the brave way in which our boys fought and how bravely some of them went over the top for the last time, to the Great Be• I

yond. Or how, facing terrible affliction for the rest of their lives they uttered no word of complaint or regret. In closing Miss Howell quot0d General Pershing's saying, "We have paid for our success with the lives of many soldiers," and asked that every one show his gratitude for this sacrifice by paying more attention t.n the worthwhile things in life, ra.mer than the materialistic and selfish ones.

Miss Wilson reported that the Bancroft school selected ten of the best "Better English" which were completed last semester to use in the departmental work of that school. Miss Shugart asked especially for the work of Edith Summers, Alta Looff' and Charles Weidman. They were formerly Bancroft students.

Confetti is indispensable at c:univals. It lends a color and festive air to the corridors and gives pleasure to those who throw it. Those unlucky persons who get it in their eyes are the ones most concerned, however. Confetti that has been thrown, then picked up and re-thrown, carries with it the dust and germs collected on the floors during the evening. Other schools in the United States have rigid rules against its use, for this very reason. Not much attention has been given to the idea in Lincoln high school.

Even the hardy English are in for sports. America, however, has not given much time to it, until within the last few years. Football, ba.8ketball, and baseball are played for pleasure, but they also give physical exercise to the players. · Only a; few C8ll. take part in these games, except as spectators.

There should be some provision made at Lincpln high school for outdoor sports in the form of competltve games that would. permit all students, both boys and girls, to take part. Over-confidence, which iuauy athletes claim to be the most dangerous opponent to the success of a team, must be fought against by the Lincoln high school basketball players if they wish "to bring home the bacon" this week.

The Red and Black squad has had a more successful season than any other team entered in class A. It bas won by decisive scores all of the ten games whrich it has played. It is therefore very a.pt to become too cer· tain of victory in the tournament and lose in the first or second round

Hi Y News

Believing that the high school ·boys do not fully ap.preciate the use which may be made of the H1 Y building, Mr. Brokaw has issued a statement to The Advocate in which be states that although the popularity of the building has increased steadily since it was first built, he does not believe that the boys appreciate what is being done ior them by the organization

I In speaking of the purpose of the Hi Y, Mr. Brokaw stated that the organization is primarijy for the purpose of charaicter building rat-her than for affording privileges of a game room, etc., such as is offered here Lincoln is the only place in the state if not in the world where there is a Hi Y building and many boys are attracted to the organization because of the game room and not because of the fundamental principles for which the Club stands. In other Hi Y clubs throughout the state, boys must be more than freshmen in order to join. This rule is observed because the

that the Hi Y building and service is supported in the same way as the public S'chools. This is not so as the entire work of the organizati<>n is carried on through voluntary donations, including not only what the membership dues bring in, but also that money which Is given •by the local Y. M. C. A. for the work of the Hi Y dub. The membership campaign as stated before will n<>t be as extensive as those which have been put on in the preceding years but it is hoped that every boy in the school will be a member before the end of the week. Mr. Brokaw fee'ls that the boys should show their appreciation of the use of the build1ng and the other privileges allowed them by the organization by becoming members of the club and thus supporting its work.

The Red and Black track squad is \ out to win the state track meet this l year. In order to win the meet, the tEam must keep in training. One of ] the best ways to keep the squad in trim and to see what each individual I is capable of doing, is to schedule I several dual meets with rival schools. Last year the Lincoln track team contested in only one dual prepara· tory to the state meet in May. Other

schools in the state and in other states have several dual meets before attempt to enter such a meet as a state Glassic, where schools from all parts of the state are represented. Financial difficulties have heretofore prevented the school from scheduling track meets here. The same proposition faces the athletic authorities this year. Since track is a sport that invrlves many of the students and depends upon the work of the individual other individuals who are not out for track should help make the sport a success. Beatrice has been negotiating for a return meet to be held on UniYersity Field sometime before the state meet which comes on May 15. Coach I Mead would also like to have a dual l meet with Omaha and posibly some other strong high school track squad in the state. There is a possibility that all these meets might be staged. but it is up to the students to make them a certainty.

We know a man who is possessed with such an overwhelming desire to be popular, that he has lost the confidence of the entire community.

Whatever he is asked to do, no matter how thoroughly he kno\vs it will be impossible for him to comply, he immediately promises to do it, and this, of course, has eomp elled th e general public to register him as a liar.

Whenf'Ver h e is asked to subscribe for this, that or the nther thing, his d esire for popularity induces him t o place after his name an amount twice as large as h e should or can pay, hence the same general public register him onee morP as being dishonest.

Our suggestion to you, son, is that you forget all about that something called popularity.

If you tote fair and play square, if you make few promises and keep them, if you subscribe only what you ean afford and then pay it, if you are courteous to everybody, no ma tter the clothes they wear or the horsepower of the machine they drive, if you stand for things that are good without being a bore and condemn the things that are bad without being a crank; in other words, if you are a gentleman, your popularity will just naturally take care of itself.
