New School Mav Be Bmlt Board Calls Election For Bond Issue And. New Levy Increase To vote for a bond issue and levy increase to build the proposed northeast high school, a special election has been called by thPbva.rd of e Guca lio .n .fo r .Sev t o .'.lL . . . r
27. The board has asked the PW A for a gra nt of $270,000 which is forty-five per cent of the total cost. This $270,000 is a direct grant, it is not a loan and does not have to be repaid. To provide for the r em a ining fiftyfive per cent a bond issue of $330,000 will be required. Northeast Highs Combined. The proposed high s chool will be located between Adams street on the north and Baldwin avenue on the south; between 61st street on the west and 63rd street on the east. Bethany, Havelock and University Place high schools will be combined in this building. An a uditorium, gymnasium, library, rooms and facilities for industrial arts and home economics, rooms for economics, rooms for commercial subjects special provision for art, music, drama and visual education an d a swimming pool will be had, besides the standard rooms and f a cilities. Vocational Agriculture Added. The educational program will be vastly improved through the provisions cited for music, art, commercial subjects, home economics, industrial a r ts, libraries and auditorium. The academic work will also be extended to provide additional courses in English, mathematics, science and languagecourses which cannot now be offered because the enrollments in the separate buildings are too small. Of specia l importance is the work in vocational agriculture which will not be duplicated in any other high school in the city. The board proposes to raise the money to pay the bonds and interest by levying ~ tax of i,~ mill in addition to the present tax of 15 mills for all school purposes.
All pupi~s appearing on the ·honor roll last semester received all l's, all 2's or all l's and 2's, and each one carried from twenty to· twenty-five hours. The eight highest pupils carried twenty-five hours and received all l's.

Clyde Dean Returns From England After a Steady Diet of Fish and Tea After a six weeks diet of fish and tea in Engla nd, Clyde "Diz" D ean is back aga in to his home land and "plenty glad of it," according to the reports he has given in classes. Traveling with the U. S. Baseball Congress, a team in which two former Links, George Binger, and Leo Benson were also featured pl~yers, "Diz" arrived Augu st 3, after a thirteen-day trip, in the British Isl es, ready to play the English All-Stars at Liverpool. With la rge numbers of British enthusiasts wa tching this great American sport, our home lads brought to victory six out of the ten scheduled games, with "Diz" doing his part by pitching one no-hit, no-run game. Touring the cities of England, "Diz" saw such sights as Westminster abbey and Buckingham p a lace in London , where he viewed the ela borate spectacle of the changing of the royal guards in front of the palace gates. He related, "They go through this formal procedure every day w ith the band playing and the guards marching in their tall black fur h a ts." English People Hospitable. While staying at Sheffield, "Diz" and his party w ere entert a ined at the city hall by the lord m a yor of Sh effield. "Diz" rem a rked that it seemed as if everybody had a title attached to his name and no matter what the titles were, the people were al-
w ays extremely hospitable. He remarked on the fine sportsmanship of the British durin g the games, both players and spectator s. When the team r eturned to London they spent ten days in just traveling around. One of their first days was spent in visiting the royal air force, where more than 5,000 young men are being trained in the aviation fi eld. Their next place of interest w as the House of R oths child, so noted ·throughout the country. "It is a sight to see/' described uDiz ," "with miles a nd miles of beautiful garden sur rounding it, and we had the privilege of eating dinner in the Gold room." While "Diz" was on the subject of eating, he continued, "It made no difference at all where we went to eat in Eng land , we were served fish three times a day, every day of the week. Another thing which seem ed strange to us," he added, "was t h eir lack of serving water with meals. We g ot used to it, but it took a little time." When "Diz" was asked if the English were really such tea drinkers as is always said a bout them, he replied, "Yes, they cert a inly are. Every day, at 10 o'clock and 3 o'clock they take time off to drink their cup of tea and eat a sweet roll. " J okingly "Diz" sa id, •'We w at ched the Internationa l cricket match between Australia and England (Continued on Page 3.)

Men Behind the Scene Ready School for Pupils During the summer months, workmen have made many changes in the building of Lincoln high. Newly varnished woodwork and desks should be a delight to everyone. All the tables in the library have been re· finished and look Like new. Since it is a large room, Miss Bmma Snyder and her assistan~s are not able to keep their eyes on every pupil. Therefore, it is up to the pupil to co-operate und keep them unmarred. This holds true on all desks and ta bl es, newly varnisht>d or not. A new lock on many lockers dismayed pupils. A long line stretched out: from the of· fice, full of inquirers as to their new locker combinations. . Kew bindings and' general repairs on l1ooks made it much easier to study. Some classes have brand new books and these must be taken care of with great thoughtfulrnoss. "\Vorkmen have helped both teachers and pupils by painting the 'room nurn ~ers 0!1 the inside of the doom so :is to make it easier .to find the correct room without having to t.~'tSt their neek to see the other side. This is part1cu· larly helpful to the incoming soph?more~ who are not acquainted with the location of the rooms. Another job that these workmen do, .not . only during the summer hut also ev~ry evemn~, is the cleaning of the halls and stairways. This is not an easy job either. Four floors of a goon· sized building must be covered regularly so they will be ''spic-and-span" for e".'eryone ea.ch morning. Stepping into clean halls m ~he morn· ing will a.lways cheer you up and give you a good disposition to start off the day. Every summer, men whom we never see work to make our school a better plac:e for us. This summer they made changes whie~ me~t ·with the approval of the pripils and merit their thanks to the men who work behind our backs.
Overflow of Pupils Shows Need for More Room Each year, more pupils enter Lincoln h!gh school than were graduated the precedn~g semester. All home rooms are filled to their fullest extent and the auditorium is ladened with seniors. T1ast semester, 587 were gradu· ated; this year more new pupils have ~nrolled in the school. At this rate, the school w11l_be_ so full in a few yem·s thfLt the present bmldmg will not possibly be able to ho1d any more pupils. Either another building w~ll have to be built in some other part of the city to accom· modate some of the pupils or the presen_t school site will have to have another annex bmlt on it. Plans are underfoot to build a northeast school to accommodate the pupils in the north· ern part of the <_~ity. This may .also t;ake car~"'of some of the pupils now attendmg J~mcol.n h~,_,h. Lincoln high is centrally located v:luch_ IS. a good asset. It affords a place _fo: pupils w1thm '\ large rndius to attend. Th~s 1s· what makes the large enrollment. Transfers from other schools add to the number.

Summer Vacations Take Faculty To Various Universal Points of Interest Col{"1rado, California. and New York seem to have been the fa· ' .--·' vorite vacationing spots for teach· ers la.st summer. The Colorado floods caught Bernard Nevin on his vacation and marooned Mrs. Alberta B. Anderson a.nd her husband on their farm near St. Vrain Cannon. Guards were kept on duty around their farm to warn them of rising waters.
Bermuda in Quaint Location.
"Burmuda is an island of two cities," Miss Beattie told the Advocate reporter. "These cities are St. Georges, and Hamelton." "Suffrage in Bermuda is dif· ferent from that of the United States in that only property own· ers can vote. Women are barred under all circumstances," stated Miss Beattie. Mr. Hackman spent two weeks in Colorado, but wa.s not there at the time of the floods.
The dumbest girl in school or probably never in school. thinks that: A myth is a· female moth. A brunette is a young bear. A blizzard is the inside of a fowl. An optimist is a man who looks after your eyes. Parasites are inhabitants of Paris. A quack doctor is one who looks after ducks A grnss widow is the wife of a dead veg·etarian. I'arraffin is the next order of angels above seraphins. And her name is Mazie. For more informa· tion conceri1ing this ignorant, unintelligent, illiterate female who is impersonating an imbecile with a never-say-die spirit, just con· suit your static editor and yon will receive full particulars. ' The opening of school found : Dale Strasser having a "Rosy" time ''Krausino·'' around the halls. Then there was Betty J erner walking around with a Favm~r and Bob Gillaspie who we thought had Shirley Binford-otten. After everyone had looked around and renewed nequaiutances. they began to wonder if the?y would ever see: Vic Michel not talking to a girl. Bobby Miller tall and thin. Connie Brumbaugh without George Maser. The Jones twins without twin dresses. Mary Helen Farrar without th~t gold basketball. ''Red'' Hansen without -his perfumed hair oil.

There are many vacancies to be filled . · Try-out material may be had in rooms 141 or 227 on or after Monday, September 26.
Writer,; Cluh Urges Sophomore Try-Outs Try-out m a nuscripts for writers club will be received beginning Monday, September 19, and will . continue to be talt en until Friday, September 30.

Former Links Speak At Art Club Meeting Two former L. H.

Hal showed water colors, and Richard two small statues, one of Clay and the other of walnut, also drawings required by his course in sculpturing. "As there are no credits and perfect freedom for the student," Hal said, "there is no graduation, so the student is th ere only for what he himself learns." "I believe sculpturing should h ave outdoor exhibits as usually most statuary is . eventually put outdoors anyway," Richard stated. H e also th inks that the reason there .are more pa inters than sculptors is that it is harder to move statuary than pictures and also cost of materials in sculpturing is quite high.

Previous Lincoln High Squads Have Won Six Games and Tied One With Central Gridders Lincoln high's 1938 football squad take their first trip of the season, when they journey to St. Joseph, Missouri, where they will meet the Central high gridders this Saturday, September 24. In the last ten years of competition Lincoln has won six out of the seven games and tied one. Past records: 1928-Llncoln 31, St. Joseph O. 1929-Lincoln 20, St. Joseph 6. 1930-Lincoln 6, St. Joseph O. 1931-Llncoln O, St. Joseph 0. 1932-Lincoln 40, St. Joseph 0. 1933-Lincoln 31, St. Joseph 6. 1936-Lincoln 12,St. Joseph O. Coach Beechner will probably take about twenty-five men, who, all decked out in their new uniforms, will be up against such men as little Bobby Stuber and P. J. Deem, both backfield men. Stuber only stands 5 feet 8 inches and weighs 147 pounds, while Deem is a 6 footer and weighs 170 pounds. These two men will most likely be co-captains in the coming game and should be watched closely. Tackles Biggest Men. Weighing 195 pounds and 6 feet 3inches tall, Roger Hicks should cause plenty of trouble breaking through the Links' line from his tackle position. Another one that will cause the Beechnerites constant trouble is Bill Collett, who tips the scales at 165 and marks the stick at 5 feet 10 inches and holds down a guard spot. Coach Arnold Embree's team may cause the Links' squad more trouble than in past years. Links Backfield Strong. Coach "Beechner's backfield is the strongest and most outstanding in years and should boost the score up considerably. With last year's lettermen in the backfield as Metheny, Hansen and Debus and Partington, Jackson, Irick and Bachman on the line the squad should put up a fine showing.
Gridders Travel 1900 Miles This Season In addition to the Reserve game of last Friday, the Red and Black gridders will play ten games, six away and four at home. The tearn will travel about 1,900 miles and will play games in three different states: Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska. The schedule: September 16, Reserves, home. September 24, St. Joseph Central, away. September 30, Crete, home. October 7, Grand Island, away. October 15, Sioux City Central, away. October 21, Beatrice, home. October 28, Omaha South, home. November 4, Omaha Tech, home. November 11, Omaha Central, away. November 18, Falls City, away. November 24, North Platte, away.

The fighting instinct of a small, but very tough, sophomore has put him behind the times so to speak. Before his small but very effective accident, he was to the notion of many, a promising linesman on Coach Cy Yordy's reserve squad. Now with his elbow broken in three places he is but another admirer of the Lincoln high squad. The rugged, but very little fellow, spoken about is Frank "Gunney" Sackrider.

SPORT CHATIER One of the toughest football seasons that the Lincoln high gridders have ever known will start with the St. Joseph Central game this Saturday at St. Joseph. Tnev will struggle to defend the mythical state co-championship title and the Missouri valley co-championship title. With veteran players as Joe Partington, Fred Metheny, Forrest Bachman, Eugene Irick, Don Hansen, Coach Frank Mueller said that the team will put on strong opposition in the ten games they a.re playing. He stated that more scoring will take place this year than last year and there is also one more game than has ever been on one season's schedule. This should be an incentive to all students to come to the games. So buy your activity ticekt today and be in there cheering for Lin· coin high in their first home game. Bill Page, prominent junior candidate for center who was pushing Joe Partington for a starting position, has been pushed out of the line-up by the injury jinx. Last week when Coach Beechner told the boys to go in there and use their hands, Bi II must have used his hand~ a little too hard because he came out of the pile with a broken hand.· Fred Lorenz, serious contender for guard position, wasn't able to report for practice on the opening date due to an infection in his arm. He is in good shape now and is playing second string guard. Fred weighs 170 pounds and was a regular starter during last year's Reserve squad. Torn cartilages in the knee and ankle forced Don Bottorff, last year squadman, to forsake thz gridiron sport this year. He received his injuries during early season drills before school started. Alt though a backfield man last. year, Don was expected to perform capa.bly at a tackle post this fall.

Lincoln Blues Jaunt North Fifteen Lincoln High Lads Travel To Grand Forks During Summer The Lincoln Blues, legion baseball team, went to Grand Forks, North Dakota, last August to compete in the fourth regional and Western divisions of the American Legion baseball tournament. All the players on the team, with the exception of Bob Garey who is from Jackson high, were from Lincoln high school. Those making the trip from Lincoln high are Frank Mueller, coach; Chick Wheeler, catch; Harold Lovell, left field; Jack Leonard, catch; Dean Jackson, third base; Bill Jennings, first base; Bob Kersey, catch; Leonard Floth, short stop; Bob Williams, second base; Claire Miller, right field; Howard Debus, centerfield; FI o yd Wilkinson, pitch; Mark Sheffert, pitch; Fred Metheny and Forest Bachman both utility and Bobby Clough, manager. The Blues won the fourth regional by defeating North and South Dakota and Wyoming, but costly errors caused .them to be defeatea by Oklahoma, 7 to 5, in the semi-finals of the Western division. Harry Johnson, KFAB baseball and sports announcer, broadcast this last game from Grand Forks. While in Grand Forks, the team took a trip to Winnipeg, Canada. The Blues came back via St. Paul and Minneapolis where they stopped off to see the town. Next year the Blues will lose the services of many players, but Harold Lovell, fielder; Bill Jennings, who played field last year and first base this year, Leonard Floth shortstop and Bob Kersey, catch will be back. Had the Blues defeated four more teams they would have been the American Legion baseball champs.

Toman Calls For More North Field Gridders
Reserves Fridav
More than fifty candidates have checked out for Joe Toman's north field aggregation. However, this year it is the intention of Coach Joe Toman, if enough pupils turn out, to divide the squad into smaller squads of about eighteen players and have a league. In this way, after the first three weeks of fundamentals are completed, everybody will have a chance to play football.
*'
Meeting College View here this Friday will be the first task for Cy Yordy's reserves after the first team game. The Creighton Prep B team and Eagle will also be played here. Both games are certain, but the dates remain to be set. A home contest with the Bea trice reserves is tentatively
BUD KING. last year, is working hard to get a first-team backfield spot. He is 5 feet 10 inches and checked out la.tely weighmg 188 pounds. In the first full scrimmage game of the season King accounted for two of the four touchdowns. King's parents moved to Lincoln during the summer. Russ Therien, who transferred from Bethany to Lincoln high, stands up in the air 6 feet 1 inch and weighs 175 pounds. He hel<f down a backfield position at Bethany last year, but is working for an end position now under Coach Beechner. Charles Hoffman, 195 pounder :from Grand Island, had lady luck
against him when he · injured his knee during the summer, whi<;h will keep him out all season. Hoffman is a senior and last year at Grand Island he was only out about three minutes the entire season and was recognized as an allstate tackle. If it had not been for this mishap, some of Coach Beechner's worries about a weak line would have been over.
SUMMARY ON GAME
scheduled and an away game with the Fremont B's is pending. Coach Yordy hopes, however, to schedule further contests. At present the B team roster consists of thirty-six players and on their shoulders falls the job of upholding the enviable record set by last year's great squad, many of wh~m have graduated to first team honors.

Bud King started things roll!ng when he went over for the initial touchdown within the firat minute and a half of play. Bob Weygint fumbled and D~an JacksQn recovered to set up the na.xt touchdown. Howard Debus then broke loose for H yards and Don Hansen went over. Debus made the other score in the first quarter by stepping around en\l for 11 yards and a touchdown. Henry Reichel started the sooond period scoring by galloping around left end 23 yards and a few minutes later "Red" Hans-en slipped through the reser;ies' line to go for 22 yards and a touchdown. The score at the end of the first half was 34 to 0 in favor of the "A" team. Metheny Scores on Long Pass. Don Hansen set up the sixth touchdown by breaking through the line for 9 yards while Debus and Metheny both picked up 2 yards. King let fly with a 31-yard pass to Metheny for the tally. Bachman blocked Weygint's punt on the 7-yard line, where Debm counted up the seventh touchdown with an off tackle play.' In the fourth quarter Jackson intercepted Vaughn's pass on the Reserves' 6-yard line. Hanser picked up 5 yards on the next play, and Debus went over to chalk up his third touchdown of the day and the last one of the game.

Five Band Twirlers, Three Girl~, Tu'o Boys, Will Lead ,,the Lincoln High Band Exactly five baton twirlers, three girls and two boys, namely Connie McCauley, Ghita Hill, Ruth Hatzenbuehler, Jim Brownson and Santa Arrigo will lead a fiftypiece Lincoln high school band during the ensuing term. This is the first time in the school's his· tory that girl twirlers have been used. Connie McCauley while in Santa Monica, California, this summer took specia l lessons for six weeks in baton twirling from Doris Wes· ton, who is one of the drum majors at Santa Monica high. "It hits you every place imaginable," declared Connie. "By the time I got throug h with my lesson I had black and blue spots all over me. "
One of the difficulties Connie had was having the baton hit her mouth, chipping the edges of her upper teeth. Ghita Hill has been getting a

At the home room alternate meeting Tuesday, September 20, Miss Esther Montgomery, stated that the alternates were just as important as the r epresentatives, so therefore they should be given an armband also. Shirley Spalding, circulation manager for the Advocate, gave instructions and helpful hints on how to hand out the papers each Wednesday morning.
Sophomore Cabinet Elects New Officers The sophomore cabinet met Monday at 3:10 to elect officers. Out of the officers elected, two w ere from Irving. The chairman, Gilbert Ryder; treasurer, Betty Hertzler; secretary, Helen Bennett from Whittier, were those chosen. Suede is again good for shoes, jackets worn as blouses, vests worn over bloudes, caps, hats, beanies, purses, gloves, and even skirts. Shirt waist blouses of pastel shades to be worn with suits give that tailored touch.
few pointers on baton twirling from Avery Forke, an ex-drtim major of Lincoln high who is now a drum major at the University of Nebraska. She practices by the hour in her back yard, twirling the baton back and forth. Ghita wishes to continue this work be· cause she would like to be a baton twirler when attending university. Ruth Hatzenbuehler's serious difficulty is in hitting herself on the arm. Ruth has been getting a few pointers from Connie and Ghita and has picked the rest up herself. She would like to continue with t his kind of work in later year s. "I just decided all of a sudden that I wanted to do this," said Ruth, "and I like it very much." These baton L"irlers will make their first appearance Friay at the Lincoln-Crete footb~ ii game at the Lincoln high oval.

Life for September 26 carried .. picture of three Lincoln high school girls with a copy of the letter which they had written the editor, challenging the statement made in an earlier issue that a "sig'' shirt was first worn by Pat Kirwin, a Texas girl. Early last spring Catherine Wells, a junior, conceived the !dea of having her friends sign their names on a shirt and then embroidering the signatures. 'rwo other juniors, Marilyn Friend 'llld Dorothy Clark, as well as several other pupils here, were quick to follow her example. When Life announced that Pat Kirwin had originated ''sig" shirts, Catherine, Marilyn and Dorothy had the picture t a ken, showing them wearmg the shirts, and wrote in, claiming credit where credit was due. As proof of the time they started wearing the shirts they submitted
a quotation published in the "Clothesline" column of the Advo· cate last spring. On September 22, the day before the issue was released, Cath· erine received the following letter from the magazine: Dear Miss Wells, Thank you very much for writing us about the "sig" shirt fashion that you started in your school. We were interested to learn that you and your friE'nds have been wearing these shirts for some time. We are including your letter, with the picture you sent us. in the forthcoming Life. I have mailed you three copies of the September 26 issue, since it. oc· cured to me that your two fri er.ds might like to hav·? copies as well. Sincerely yours,• ANNA GOL )SBOROUGH Editorial Secretary."

Ledwfth-Dles-In Law Office Business Manager on First Advocate Staff Dies of Heart Attack J. J, Ledwith '96, first business manager of the Advocate, died suddenly of a heart atta ck in his law office, September 19. Mr. Ledwith's parents had died before his thirteenth birthda y. He was left a large estate, but it was virtually wiped away by the panic of 1893, about the time he entered high school. He made part of his way through school. He received his bachelor of science degree from the University of Nebraska in 1900 and his L.L.B. degree in 1903. Children L. H. s. Graduates. His son , Charles '32, and daughter, Lucille '27, are gra duates of Lincoln high. Charles was mana gin geditor of the Advocate in '31 and was the first child of a staff member to be on a subsequent staff. In an interview with Mr. Ledwith written by his son in a 1931 Advocate, Mr. Ledwith was quoted as saying, "The Advocate was first named 'Cold Facts'. It contained personals about the students and teachers. At times it would have a news story and generally a few sport write ups ." "I was made business manager whose duty it was to solicit ads," he continued. "The papei; expended more than it took in and at lhe end of the year, it was $36 in the hole. This had to be m a de up out of my own poclrnt and it took me two years to pay it off." Baseball was the major sport in those day's while football was sec· ond. Mr. Ledwith was thirdbaseman and fullback on the school teams.

Red and Black Color Fri<fav . a brilliant ;irray of hlack and red color will · be seen around the corridors. Naturall y, there is a. reason. It has hcen an accepted tradition to set aside one day of the school year for color day. On this day, .all the pi.1pils wear black and red to show their support of the school. . Athletic teams are honored and pep rallies in the auditorium stir up inte rest and enthusiasm for the game which brings the clay to a climax. Significant it is that color day brings out the type of support the football team will re· ceive. Added support to the team gives it the spirit and fight that so · many times turns defeat into victory. The colo r that is seen is in rnclkss combinations. Ski rts, blouses, trousers, shirts and bats; every conceivable Yariety of black and red. The . PeppHs, in their new uniforms , will lead the chP.ering, during the day in school, then out in the oval at the football game with Crete. after school. . The hand will be in uniform to furnish the music. At the ball game it will join in on the songs and entertainment between halv es. An added attraction with the bane! this year will be the three girl baton twirlers. 'l'hey will march along with the two boy twirlers and lead the band in its formations. This feminine touch to the band will loosen up the cheering and incite more interschool interest. · Color day, Friday, will be a convincing point in proving that Lincoln hig·h stands behind the team. With the student body one big mass of red and black, in the class1·oms and then following out the doors into the oval to try to help bring Lincoln to victory over Crete, a strong team that: will provide many thrills for the players and spectators alike, this color day will be added to the annuals as one to be remembered in the days gone by.
Leadership Opportunities Provided Through Clubs ~ow, at the beginning of the year, pupils are being urged to join clubs and participate in outside activities. Once more clubs are open to new· meinbers and try-outs are being held each day. Many pupils see the notices and merely say, "Oh well, I could never make the grade." Even without putting forth a little effort, they take no interest in worthwhile activities. Many of the smaller high schools cannot afford such activities and \1;ould gladly welcome them if the cha.nee ever came. 'l'he value of clubs and social gatherings is unquestionable. Here many new friends are made and pupils become better acquainted throughout the school. Teachers and friencls recognize your ability and when someone is need ed as a ch-airman for a banquet or head of a comm it tee, they may call on you. When elections come up for Class officers or student council, with all your friends behind you. maybe you can become one of the leaders of your high school,

Each year it is necessary to call the. pupils attention to the proper use of loc:kers m high school. 'l'hese ] ockers are provided by the school authorities for the convenience of the student body and for the protection of their personal belongings. Rules of the school as well as the dictates of common prudence require that you keep the lockers locked. Each year much confusion arises because books and personal belongings disappear from lockers. This would be impos· sible if pupils were careful to see that the lockers are never left u11locked. In the event that yon have forg·otten your combination or the lock is out of order, report it immediately to the office.

If you see an open bus with a few extra passengers going along 22nd street before or . after school, you may be sure you are looking at chauffeur Sterling :Mutz' Hl21 Packard.

How 'bout that Ster., you would make lots of cash if you charged all those "students" for the lift.
Why does Mr. l\Iueller always have girls in the front &eats in his classes 7 We have quite a few talented people in Lincoln high. Some are professionals like Bonnie Parsons. hwiclentallv Bonnie will be home this Saturday in case ~ome of you males have been wondering. If you ' re in Om ah a oYer the week end. you may see a littl e faney skating done by Arlene Bradt and Charles Elliott. They will skate at different places in Omaha. A promising ''young singer'' is Miss Ardis Lyman who made her debut a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday evening·. Her song had something to do with a bush, I believe a mulberry bush to be exact.
Have you ever stopped to think what the most used questions are this fall at Lin('oln high school'!

Open Forum.. To the Editor : R. 0. T. C. shoald be put into effect in Lincoln hii;·h, riot only for the advantages it offers, but for the pupils and for the school as a whole. Teaching discipline, good posture, accuracy, and courtesy. A method could be worked out so the members of the R. 0 . T. C. could drill each day or have regular drill periods. Other large schools have them, including several schools in Omaha, and they prove to be of good advantage. This would help the school considerably in its effort to stop the running in the halls and also to hall-guard ? A Junior. To the Editor: Last year there was an article in the Advocate concerning wrest· ling as a school sport. I think that Lincoln high school should support a wrestling team. We have every advantage; a large school, many athletes, and excel· lent coaches. Most of the high schools in Omaha have wrestling t eams so there would be no need to worry for sufficient competition. Give me one good reason why Lincoln high couldn't make a go of it! An Inquisitive Junior.

As soon as he learns English well enough, ho plans to take a civil engineering course in the University of Nebraska, and then return to South America. "The high schools _ in Buenos Aires a.re very similar to those in the United States, and the people live much the same, except for the language and the customs," said Roberto . Because his English vocabulary is rather limited, Miss Elsie Rohahr acted as interperter. Since he is a graduate of a high school in Buenos Aires, he is ready for college.
Between The Covers Books may come and books may go, but once in several years comes a book that has all the human elements and is yet so stirringly beautiful that mere words may not suffice to describe it. Such a book !c"se Stuart brought to the reading public when he comr>i led the story of hie ure, "Beyond Dark Hills." An enthralling, vital narrative, it grips and carries one away by the force of his eloquence. The chapters of his book are happily named, suggestive of the rare

·Stan Allen Enters From lUaryland Swimming, sail boating, aqua planning and horse-back riding are the popular sports in Maryland declared Stanley Allen, senior, in a recent interview. Having lived in a residential subm·b of Washington, D. C. whic'.1 is on the Maryland side of the. Potomac River, Stanley statec! that in his opinion the Potomac is no prettier than the Missouri except that it has parks lining its sides. He studied at BethesctaChevey Chase high school where every Thursday there is an assembly which all of the schools eight hundred pupils attend. On all days except Thursday then• is at 2 :45, also assembly time, a social period in which the school clubs are attended. Stanley was president of the .Footlights cluo, a dramatic organization similar to Mummers. Other offered clubs are subject organizations such as Algebra club and French club. No football is played in the schools there, but basketball, baseball and golf are featured instead. Swimming is taught in the distdct schools. Dances given by the Parent Teachers Association are offered in the way of social life. The hop and shag dance steps are done:
He has a God-given capacity for expressing himself in simple yet beautiful phrases and, fascinated by the strong, rustic pride of his tale, one loses sight of worldly things and only the dark and lonely hills of Kentucky with the black-oaks on their summits seem im'portant. Six tall Scottish H i g h I and brothers left the Firth of Forth for Virginia sometime in the eighteenth century. At the same time another family by the name of Hit ton was pushing into the Kentucky hills. Mitchell Stuart and Martha Hilton Stuart joined the two families four generations later and of them was born Jesse Stuart, with his ears and eyes tuned to the music and poetry of the hills.

No one will say this book is good from the technical standpoint. It is granted that some passages are unnecessa·rily jagged, that everything is not as pleasant as it might be in a -few cases. Nevertheless, it screms to your reviewer that the merits of the book far outweigh any crudities it might contain In form or manner.

For the afternoon and informal evening, velvet and velvetine are .again the most used materials. They are also good for dinner dresses of floor length. A high sheared waist with a full skirt, and puff sleeve,s, and a. square neck line is the popular pattern, also jumpers with yarn flowers, worn with satin blouses are a much used style for the com· ing season. Various shades of the compli• mentary colors are used together, the dress or suit being of one color and the accessories, the other. Tiny pancake hats are the thing for dancing and teas. So clever looking, and you hardly realize they are on your head. Shoes have platform soles this year and the heels are lower. Fancy perforations and camisole tops add to the beauty for the feet. Costume jewelry of heavy pat· terns is worn with either suits or dresses. Antique gold and silver · with flower and leaf designs are used mostly. Pearls are always good. Semi-precious stones, as rose quartz, amethysts, lapis lazuli, crystal and coral. Heavy neck· laces, lockets and cameos are worn a great deal, especially with the new strapless formals. This season's color list includes teal blue, king's red, maroon, florentine pink, mustard and all vineyard shades. Clever initial, and Mexican pins and clips complete the sports cos• tume. Charm bracelets and tur• quoise are never too dre~sy for school.
Interesting Names In Cave-man Days
Hugh T. Rangeler has high hopes for the boys' glee and junior mixed glee clubs. Mr. Rangeler says that both groups are now working on songs to be sung at public performances, which are not yet defi· nite. This is the first time the junior mixed glee has had hopes for performing. Mr. Rangeler also says that he has plans for the two groups, and that he has had calls for performances.

In looking through a '98 edition of the Advocate, Mrs. Hall found some of these topics: "Born, Lived and Died" ; "Be, Do and Have"; "Where Are We At?" A number of clubs existed, perhaps the most prominent was the senior girls dramatic club. The class started their freshman year with 100 members. They decreased and about 50 members re• mained to be graduated in 1898.

1898 Advocates Bring Back Memories Of Senior Tribulations Forty Years Ago "School days, school days, dear old golden rule days"- and so memories of 40 years gone by are r~called by the Advocates of :March and June, 1898, which Mr .

Boys who have taken this course will have a general backgr01md of requirements in the field and also some practical experience, thus he should be a better prospective employee than a person with no such preparation. The actual school time which is spent in the shops during the six semesters may be comparll.ble to the time of an employee who is working forty-eight hours per week for nine months. Head of Lincoln high school's trades preparatory is Glen E . Dor- • sey, with offices at the board of education. Boys who are taking this course and who are now holding down jobs must work out weekly reports telling the amount and type of work done for that week.

Halls Ring Again
(Continued from Page 1.)
As Pupils Begin Everyday Routine Back to school again. To class• rooms that during the summer months craved for companionship but are now overloaded with eager students. Back to halls that once again are ringing with excited voices as they greet their old friends whom they have not seen during the summer. Also baclc to halls that are filled with new and old faces, who are looking here and there for a familiar person. It Is the first day of school. Students are rattling and banging their lockers trying to get them open, when along comes help from a student council member who is on the job from the first. Combi· nations are changed and new onea obtained. During the day some wished they were outside playing football as the sports classes were, or in the old swimming hole with your best friend, or back on the ranch in Colorado with the folks where the summer was spent, instead of in a hot school room. Pupils flocked to Miss Olivia ·pound and Otto Hackman's office to change this subject and want another. Home rooms were being changed and the acquaintance of new teachers being made. New books are received and directions given for taking good care of them. Book and class cards were being made out in every class. But then It all comes in a school day and deep down in their hearts everyone is glad to be back to school.

It was the first game under lights ever played by a Lincoln high school footb.all team.( In the first period after an exchange of punts Central instigated a seventy-four yard march to the Lincoln, six yard line. A series of sharp reverses by Bobby Stuber coupled with a pass and lateral plus the old Statue of L iberty play, good for twelve yards, garnered most of the yardage. The Links braced and the In· clians were thrown back to the ten. They gave up the ball at the end of the quarter as a fourth down pass was incomplete. In rebuttle the Links drove a head on sheer power plays to score ·soon on a twent y -two yard pass from Howard Debus to "Red" Hansen. Ging's attempt placement was low. The Beechnerites then struck again with startling suddenness as they capitalized on a break.

Sports Chatter It may be called the thrill that comes once in a lifetime or the ambition of every backfield· man, well anyhow it happened to Henry Reichel. In the "A" and ''B " team game the week before last, which was "Hanks" first big o-ame 0 the first time he lugged the ball: he galloped around· end for ;::3 yards and into pay territ.c)ry. Henry is a very shifty, speedy back and has shown m uch im· provement so far this season. The Lincoln high school·ova.J had its face lifted last Monday and Tuesday. The field in general was becoming rough and uneven, and the high spots were leveled out w ith a motorized road grader. It is now ready to be chalk lined. Junior Ennen ha s been won.ing at a drug store since he came ba ck frcm Colorado. Junior played football, basketball and a lso pole vaulted while at Lincoln high and h e says he took such a great liking to Lincoln high that he h a s to come back to cheer them home. P hysical examinations are now being given in the gymnasi11m classes. They began Wednesday and will be finished in about a week. Doctor Lynn Shar rar and John Merideth are in charge. Hollis Limprecht, Dean Pohlenz, Gleri. Trump and James Evinger, -·-- ·-· -- --- -·-a re now writing for the Journal. In the Reserve-College View fra cas Jast Friday, many of the pla yers complained about the field being so dusty they couldn't even see. Also when the backs cut q uickly they couldn't get any traction and slipped. It seems that the field could be wet down a day before the game, as last year, before some of the games. Hangers have been furnished to the Lincoln high school's, "A", t eam, to keep their new suits on. In this way, Coach Beechner hopes to keep the equipment in better condition and from being Jos t. St. Joe has a r eputation of being a very hospitable city, but la st Sa turday night at the Links-Indian game she ex ceeded herself. A rooting section was pr ovided for the benefit of the visitors. The r ooters however were not provided by Central, but by St. Joe Benton. Benton and Centr al are bitter rivals, s omething on the order of Lincoln and Jackson. It was on Benton' s field that the g ame was played. Fred M etheny, veteran sig nal ca ller, w as the only casualty of the St. Joseph fray. Metheny sustained a bruised muscle in his leg in the third canto, but returned in the fourth pe riod and will be in top shape for the Crete f r a ca s this week.

Fartin Fisc her went over from the one yard line. A qua rter-back sneak however, failed for tte conversion . A Debus to King pass connected for twenty-five ya rds to put the ball on the Indian six in the fourth p eriod. Bud King smashed over from the our and proceeded to make the kick good for extra point making the score Lincoln 19, Centra l 6. Debus quick-kicked to the Cent ral safety, Stuber, who batted the ball in the end zone and fell on it for a saftey and a gift of two points for Lincoln .to end the games scoring . F utile, desperate p asses by Central and frequent substitutions by Lincoln ended the game . The entir e Links' · backfield stood out with Metheny doing a great defensive job and K ing, Hansen and Debus running the of· f ense. Partington, Jackson and Bachman excelled in the line. Cocaptain's Bobby Stuber and P. J, Deem were the whole show for Central as was expected. The summary: Litton .... . . .. . .. . . I e . . . , . , . . . . Anderson , , • , , , , • , • .

Bob Sauer, '38, has been playing on the first string backfield of the frosh team at Alabama university, where he was given a fouryear scholarship. In recent letters received by friends of Bob, he stated that he liked the school, but it was a rather hot climate for football. The· scholarship given Bob ln· eludes tuition, books, room, board and laundry for four years. He will play football, basketball and baseball for the souther n school. As Alabama is one of the largest schools in the south, in sports they have outstanding athletes from all over the United States. Strict training rules fur the athlet es a r e enforced. Most of them live together, where their daily routine is mapped out for them, including the exact times of eating, studying and sleeping. The school, located at Tuscaloosa, Alabama, started Monday, September 19. Regular games are played between the freshman teams in the Southern confer~nce. Before the beginning of school the tea ms pra cticed t wice a day. The h eat was so intense that several players became sick and dropped out eac h dav. school, Bob w as a member . of the s t ate high school championship footba ll and bask etball teams. He won a Jetter in basketball, two in football and three in baseball, while playing for the Red and Black.

Chamhn of Commerce To Boost Attendance Fred Wiren a nd members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce have done a fine job of s elling 200 Lin· coin high -school f ootball tickets to the Lincoln business men up to date. Added r eason to believe t hat the attendance at the games will be larger than in -pr evious years is that the Lincoln Chamber of Comm erce is selling tickets to the business men, who are again tal{ing a great interest in L . H . S. athletics. You, too, can obtain tick ets to the g ames. Activity tic~ets may be purchased for $1. 75 w hich entitles you to. all football a nd basketball gam es, plays a~sues of the .Advocate, for this semester. These tickets are a true asset to all Lincoln high pupils. Who can resist seeing the sons of the Black and Red, fighting for victory amid the wild cheering of the Peppers, the gay playing of the band, and the g eneral hum of the crowd ? Buy an a ctivity ticket and cheer L. H . S. on to a victory for 1938.
Sports Album Fred Metheny, ~enior. is playing his second great yea r of football h ere at L incoln as a back. When he was a sophomore, he won honors on the reserve squad both in football and basketball and while a junior lettered in football, bask etball and t rack and will again this year undoubtedly ear n three m a jor letters. F-red sta nds u p in the air, 5 feet 11% inehes, and weig hs 165 pounds. H e has also entered in many of the school activities, such a s class officer, Etudent council and ot hers . Forrest Bachman , senior, also in his second year of "A" team footba 11, is so far holding a first string tackle posit ion. Last year he also lettered in reserve basketball and baseball. He will very likely wind up this year with three major letters to his credit.· "Forrie" tips the scales at 187 pounds and hits the bar at 5 f eet· l l1h inches. Don ·"Red" Hansen, shifty backfield letterman, will garner his sha re of yardage this fall for the Links. "Red" is 5 feet 10 inches tall and tips the beam at 169 pounds. He is a capa ble passer and adept at picking his way thru a broken field. As a signal ca ller Don will also see much service.

Coach Yordy's Tricky Plays Catch College View Team Off Guard Through the array of razzledazzle plays, the Lincoln second team won their first greater Lin• coln league conference game last Friday by drubbing a strong College View team by the count of 6 to O. The reserves' lone tally came in the third quarter when Step Jones intercepted Powell's pass on the Viewman's 43 yard line and ran to the 25 yard line. Weygent and Vaughn each picked up a yard apiece while Gillaspie caught W eygint's pass and added 8· more yards. Red Christia nson picked up 4 yards thr ough tackle and Va ughn pa ssed to W es Maser from the 15-yard line for the score. Weygint's kick for extra point was blocked. The reserves threatened to score in the first quarter when Kersey passed to Vaughn for 10 yards, bringing the ball on th.e Viewmen's 4-yard line. Christianson and Va ughn failed to· gain while Jone s ran back to the 21-yard line to throw a pass, but .stumbled. Nolen of College View kicked out of danger. sack shook loos e and picked up 36 yards, putting the ball on the Purple a nd Gold's 27-yard stripe. A pass from Schmidt to Gillaspie picked u p 7 yards while Schmidt plunged twice for 4 yards. Blum's pass was incomplete as was Lebsack's to Schmidt. Two passes from Powell to Ed Nyden brought the ball back to mra-field. Powell, Nolen, Morrow, Hansen and Ed Nyden st ole the show for College View while Weygint, Vaughn, Gillaspie, Lebsa ck, Schmidt, West and Wes Maser did an excellent job for the r eserves .

When the University of Nebraska opens the football season against Minnesota the starting lineup will be composed largely of former Linc oln high school players. As ~he lineup now indicates, the guard positions will be taken care· of by: Bill Pheiff and Adna Dobson, both 200 pounders and members of the 1935 Red and Black · state championship eleven. Bob Mills, who played end on the 1934. state cha mpionship Lincoln team: and Forrest Behm, '37, will hold down the t a ckle position as it now stands, but a change might be made for Sam Schwa rtzkopf, another ..ormer Lincoln high player, is making a strong bid for that position and may t ake the mod over Forrest Behm. The lone backfield star ter who was a product of Lincoln high is the fleetfoot Marvin P lock, who was graduated in 1934.
A nother. athletic year is just in the making. Last year Lincoln high s chool '\V,..,n .... ,,.,.._ ...,,.. , . p1onships and made an en~PJ!in'e record in all branches of sports. This y ear we hope to again maintain the record of past Lincoln high school teams. We will s t rive to uphold the clean sportsm ansh ip and fighting spirit t hat
For the first time in many years, the Lincoln h igh football team will have new football uniforms for game usage only. Coach Beechner s e cu red twenty-five complete new suits a long with fifteen new hel· mets. This serves to make competition keener, for only twenty-five p.layers will get the uniforms and only those with new game suits will make the trips. The helmets are bl ack and m uch lighter than those of last yea r a lthoug h of a very sturdy construction. The pants are b lack except for a red stripe running up the back of the legs and the socks are also black with red stripes. The jerseys have red arms a nd numerals while the rest is black. Most of the playe rs received new shoes. In event of wet weather, however, the new suits will not be worn. The regular practice uniforms Will be U$ed instead.
We open our home s ch edule with Crete high school this Friday, September 30, 1938. Cret e has alwa ys given Lincoln a stubborn battle and h as at various t imes defeated us . The pas t six years, however, Lincoln has been successful and the football team pledges that they will t ry and make it seven in a row. May w e have 100 p,.er· cent loya lty to our team this year whet h er t hey win, lose or tie. They are facing the hardest schedule in the history of Lincoln high school football. We are p laying in new uniforms, the finest that we can obt ain and we ar e expecting la r g er crowds than heretofore t o help defray the expenses of the coming season. Let' s boost the name of Lincoln to the top and her e's hoping th at we have a successful year t og ether. RALPH BEECHNER.

Drill Brings Ridicule To Boys Cooking Class Four boys were preparing mar· guerites in Mrs. Katherine Hen· ninger's first period cooking class when the exit drill bells rung, last Monday. The rule for such a ,circumstance is. to leave orie's apron on . during the drill. When the boys filed out the southeast door there were :inany laughs and com· ments by the other students. However the boys took it like men and laughed it off. But they were quite disheartened when upon returning to the room two of their marguerites were missing.
John Allison, Former Lincoln High Student, Is in Con8ular Service in China ''To prepare for a career in the consular service, it is necessary primarily, to have as good a general background of knowledge as one can get," declared John Alli· son former Lincoln high student, now In the consular service in China. Mr. Allison, while on duty ·tast year, was slapped by a Japanese sentry, the story breaking into papers all over the United States. He further emphasized the :t:act that, in high school, English 8, advertising, and English composi· tion courses are decidedly helpful in consular work, ·because for one reason numerous detailed reports are sent in to the home office in Washington. "There is a good opportunity tor young men who don't mind movi::g from place to place. I've been located at three consulates in threl! years," he said. "You never get rich but on the other hand you never starve." Mr. Allison in his consular work at Nan Kin, China, dealt directly with the problems of American citizens living abroad,. such as arranging their ·passports, or straightening out difficulties itris· ing from their lack of knowledge of the Chinese language and cus· toms. Occasionally there arisi:i misunderstandings between Amer· ican citizens and Chinese officials, such as a tourist · taking photo·
Band and P :ppers .4rouse Schuol Spirit Mounting enthusiasm was climaxed Friday · by a hard fought game between the Lin· coin high football team and the Crete Cardinals. Displaying the most spirit shown in recent years, the student body donned the school ·colors to participate in the traditional color day and show their loyalty to. the team. A well organized "pep" assembly led by the Peppers got the school in the mood to go out to cheer for the team. Special commendation should go to the band who with their snappy twirlers, gave an entertaining performance be· tween halves and kept the crowd enthusastic throughout the game.

According to Mr. Allison, th" embassy in China, .located at •he capital, deal.s chiefly with politi~al and international problems ~hat . may arise, while the numerous consulates (there are eight consul· ates in .1apanY are 'con.cerned chief. ly with problems arising locally, There are approximateiy 100 per· sons employed in the consulate it Shanghai, the . second . largest tn the world, and there are twelve or thirteen consualtes in the whole of China. "Formerly only the children of the wealthier Chinese people rad adequate schooling," he related, "but now they are turning toward general schooling more and more." There is a large American school in Shanghai. Until the· last twenty years Chinese young people have for the most part indulged in games native to China, but in the last ten years they have become intensely interested in such sports familiar to Americans as tennis, swimming, baseball, basketball and Rugby football. "There have been many notable successes made by American businessmen in China in the past." he related, "but it is difficult to tell what the situation will be in the future, in view of the present crisis.''

Lincoln Has Most , Bicycle Accidents Lincoln is . the only city in the United States where the boys ride bicycles with straight handle-bars and a high seat-post, according to William (Bill) Hintz, of Lawlor's Sporting Goods company who ;iaye that Lincoln has the most bicycle accidents in the United States compared with the population. Local police are attempting to change this method because of its encoul.'agement to the boy to ride without handble-bars which is mostly responsible for the numer· ous bicycle accidents. Messengers boys are urged to ride their bicycles with their seat· posts low or even with the handle· bar to avoid accidents caused. by .riding without handle-bars.

Convention To Be Held Dorothy Weirich Will . Be a Representative At Council Meetings Dorothy Weirich will be Lincoln high's official representative at the midwest convention of high school student councils held October 21 and 22 in Coffeeville, Kansas, it was disclosed at the student coun· cil meeting last Wednesday. It was undecided whether any of the other members of the .school's governing body would attend or not. No more than two ·r epresentatives from any school may take part in an official ca-. pacity, but as many students as wish may attend the convention. It was suggested that, if possible, a junior should be sent along with the president so that the benefits derived from attending the educa· tional meeting could be carried over into next year. A discussion then followed on when and where the student coun· cil picnic would be held. ''I ednesday, October 5, was finally decided upon as the date and Roberts park as the place.

Revise Style Card Revision of the Lincoln high school style card was the mafo topic of discussion at Monday's meeting of the English depa rtment. A committee had already revised the style card and it was submitted for the approval of the department. . Some of the main improvements , were the bringing up to date of the club lists and the simplifying of° lists of incorrect uses. J. S. Wallace's printing class received the job Tuesday morning, although the linotyping was done down town. Members of the revising com· mittee were Miss Belle · Farman, chairman; Miss Elsie Cather, Miss Winifred Mayhew, Miss Elizabeth Grone and Miss Sarah T. Muir. Miss Muir appointed the committee.
Community Chest Drive Has Teachers Support Community chest drive will start soon and as always Lincoln city school teachers are among the first to place full support behind it. 0. H. Bimson, assistant, is the division commander for schools and churches. Many Boy Scouts from Lincoln high are helping dis· tribute posters throughout the city. All are urged to contribute to a. worthy cause, no matter how small the donation.
New School Plans Made Students From Three Schools to Attend · New Northeast High With the construction of a north· east Lincoln high guaranteed. it seems more than likely there will be keen competition given L. H. S. sports combinations by the new school in the future. Northeast high will consist of students from Jackson, Havelock and Bethany. Jackson has had some powerful football and more powerful basket· ball teams in past years. Havelock won last year's greater Lincoln league title (a conference which will go out of e~istence this year), and Bethany has been sta te class B basketball champion for the past three years. Just how soon Northeast will be in operation ls not definitely known, but it is generally thought it will begin the .fall of 1939 or 1940.
School ·Council Assigns Places Guards Installed at the Stairwells for Safety Of Lincoln High Pupils For the betterment of the school and the safety of the pupils, fifth · period safety guards have been in· stalled at the various stairwells at L. H. S. Positions were assigned to the eighteen student council members at the last meeting, and they are on duty from 3:10 to 3:15.
The student council is urging all pupils to obey the guards, not to run or take two steps at a time, as it is for the pupils' safety that they are stationed there. The list is as followR: First floor-Barbara Hodgman, Lester Bucldey, Martha Ann Bengtson, Thomas B.ice, Elizabeth Roberts and Gene Bradley. Second floor-Patricia Cole, Dorothy Weirich, Barbara Stew· art, Virginia Ford and Betty Um· berger. Third floor-George Blackstone, Fred Metheny, John Jay Douglass and Patricia Herminghaus. · Fourth floor- Robert Miller and Romula Soldevi!la.

Mary Adelaide Hansen, Former Advocate Editor, Praises Papers' New Make-up "Congratulations on your first issue! I surely like the omission of the column bars-it gives much better balance to the page, I think," writes Mary Adelaide Hansen, last years managing edi· tor of the Advocate who is attend· ing Ward-Belmont, school for girls in Nashville, Tennessee, this year. "I showed the Advocate to Miss Van Deren ,the sponsor of the Ward-Belmont Hyphen, and iiihe was very enthusiastic about the make-up. She remarked particulary about its large size for only a high school paper, and thought it much better than many papers she's seen. Miss Van Deren tells me tlmt the Hyphen is planning to streamline itself some time ~his semester and everyone is most anxious to compare the new style with its present lay-out." Mary Adelaide has been placed
upon the make-up staff of the paper and also does some report· ing. The work on the paper is en· tirely extra-curricular. "You all are surely having an extensive campaign for the ac· tivity ticket sale this year, aren't you? I'm almost convinced that I ought t get one myself, with these reminders popping up all the time," she writes. "Nebraska is surely well represented on the literary staff here at W.-B. A Crete girl is the ...aitor of the annual and an Omaha girl the editor of the newspapPr. "I cannot become used to the teachers here. Most of them "air the pupils 'Honey,' or 'Darlin'-Ws most amazing. "Here's a great big "Hello" for everyone-I miss Lincoln high a lot more than I thought I ever would. Please write me, kids, and I'll be thinking of you all."

New Style of Paper Has Good and Bad Points For three weeks now, the readers of the '.Advocate have beei:i looking at a " n ew " paper. At first it gives the impression that there is not enough news to fill up the page. In reality, however, this white space gives the paper :i new modernistic touch, called "streamlining." ~y dropping the column lines, more 1vhite space is placed between the columns of type and it '.!llakes it easier to keep the columns a-part when reading. If you take car·e to notice, 11-hile comparing the new Advocate with the old one, this paper is wider than the old one. It is eight columns in width, or the same that is used fo:· the city papers, but we use only seven eolmnn .; on it. This extra width gives a better ba l$.nced paper. The old Advocate was criticized by experts because it vrns too long for its wic1th. .All the lines betw een th e hcad li 11rn :111.l the · main story have been omitt ed. 'l'l1e line:< >tt the end of the stories have also been left out. :White space has been put in their place. . .· The lines placed at the sideis of the pietures set them off sufficiently from the .columns.., . There have been many comm en ts on the make-up of the paper, both pro and con. 'l'he defenders of the new lay-out claim that it is much easier to read, on the standpoint that the eyes are not strained when tryin g to separate the columns. On the other hand, th e con members of the coinmentators state that reading is harder because it mixes them up on what comes ne:x;t. Some pupils say that they don't like th1~ paper now, but they may after th ey get used to it. That is the case with most new things that are suddenly put in front of you. You have taken the old way for gTanted and anything new has to be extended gradually in order that it mig·ht get an unprej udiced · opinion. Bach semester the Advoeate enters na· tional and state c-ritical ser1;ices 11· it h nia11 v other high school papers. In these, expe.i.'.t criticism is given by judges 1Yho have graded many other newspapers. When the ratings are returned they are accompanied by suggestions which the judg·es feel will improve the paper, both for the staff memb ers and the readers. There are comments on the good points also. The criticisms received by th e Advocate are discussed and if any imp1·o~·ements can be made to better the paper, they will be made. It is your paper and the staff wants tii make it as nearly perfect as they can and abide by the wishes of the student body.
· Aid of New Dictionaries Helps Enlarge Vocabulary A history teacher explained to her class that the word "dernarche" was used in a late edition of the Omaha World-Herald concerning the Czechoeslovakian sitnatiiin and, not knowing the meaning of the word,· ~he Jookerl in numerous dictionaries only to find the word. listed in the latest 1938 edition of Webster thu t the school has recently purchased. She said that this proves how every one should be ready to use latest sources to find new 'rnl'ds for his vocabulary, especially repoi:ters. Lincoln high has rceived severnl new 19i.!S, beautifully bound dictionaries. ··· Many a. pu:Pil could not €xpl~i1t.the simple meaning of the word "sinew"' without looking it up first. - ···-· , .After these dictionaries are pt1f into pra ctical tise, there will be no excusa..ki· any pupil to misspell or not know the meaiii'fig of some word, although both the professor ~ of the Uni·versity of Nebraska and the business me11 of. I1ineoln occasionally make the sta:Cement that they wish Lincoln high would tea ch its pupils to spell. Jn all kinds of professions, spelling i~ necessary. Many careers depend on correet speUing. The best way to learn: is to g·et acquainted with the dictionary early. Not only spelling is essential, but also the meaning of the words. Now is your chance! The high school is offering you new die, tionaries containing all the possible words.

Whether animals don't talk because they haven't the brains or because th.ey haven't the faciiltie11 was a topic which, though vig-:ir-· ously debated, wasn't settled to everyone's satisfaction in Mrs. Grace G. Hyatt's fifth period mod· ern history 1 class, September 19. The debate was a result of a study . of man's advantage over beasts· in having a spoken language. Mrs. Hyatt, who believed that animals didn't have the facilitie,i for talking, stated that scientists have found that the vocal cords of animals are incapable of inflec• tion. She also reminded the clas11. that on occasions dogs have been frantic to convey· messages to their masters and couldn't except by physical means. Students who believed that 'ini~ mals haven't the brains, claimed that animals didn't speak because their brains hadn't developed as man's had and therefore they couldn't think or absorb the meanings of what they saw or heard. True stories were cited of dogs who saved whole families by wak· ing them. Those dogs didn't rn11 out the danger, yet they did sense the danger and warn their owners.

··victoria Regina," the noted play by Lawrence Hauseman which has more than successfully played oil Broadway and toured the United States with Hele11 Hayes in the leading role, is a lengthy but seldom tedious com· pilation of thirty extremely short plays about the life of Queen Victoria. Although Victoria is essentially the theme of the whole play, many brief, but charming sketches of the then eminent Lord · John Russell, Disraeli and Gladstone are in· serted throughout the whole. The Prfuce Consort is pictured as an admfrable arid lovable character, a gentleman in every respect, who loved and served the Queen with untiring devotion. Victoria is shown us in all her faults and virtues; her nobility, her perseverance, her ambition, her humanity, her innocent bigotry and
Jane Watkins finds a lal'ge coeducation high school very different from Dana hall, the compara-tively small girls school which Rhe attended last fall, but likes Lincoln high the better of the two. She says that periods there were nearly the same length that they are here, but were devoted entirely to recitation.. All studying was done during study l;lall, held for two periods during the day and again in the evening, at which attendance was compulsory. Classes here are much larger, but she likes the larger classes better. .. "You aren't called on ·so often," .she explained. They had no assemblies, but almost always had speakers on Sat· urday night, and since Dana Hall is near Boston, the pupils often went in to plays or concerts. Week-ends ran from Saturday
more likely it is that that ni!.tiOn will be drawn into war. One of the mam purposes of high school education should be to teach pupils to think for themselves. One of the m3.in aiins in niilitat-y train· ing is to make "yes inen." rt seems that we should be able to handle the discipline problem by means other than those .of Mussolini and Hitler. .. Q. W.

Perhaps the most touching playlet is the one entitled, "The Rose and the Thorn," and the most mirth-provoking, rather ironically called, "We Are Not Amused." The reading public, as a rule, is not ready for persuing .plays for pleasure. It has been found, how· ever, that the reading of plays as leisure time activity is becoming increasingly popular. "Victoria Regina," as you will find, is an interesting subject to begin on, particularly for high school students. ··
which she did not like. She did, however, like the . lunch periods which were a full hour. · After classes,. ·t he girls were free to do as they wished, and had clubs which .met much as Lincoln high clubs do~ However, every girl was required to take some gymnasium work after school, Monday through Friday. They really have boarding school parties such as are told of in the "Susie Collins-Junior" type of book.

Here is some true school spirit for you. Five L. H . S. girls, four of them Peppers, in- . eluding Jo Ann Macoy, Betty Kohout, Martha Bengston, Mary Ellen McCracken and a friend, were attending the N. U.-Frosh g·ame. The cheer leaders announced that the next yell wou1d be the ''Ole locomotive.'' Being full of vim, vigor and stuff, they decided to let some of their red and black pep out-for the freshm€n. Were they surprised and, were the cheerleaders disgusted when, just as natural and unrehearsed as could be, all five girls gave a rah, rah, rah, rah followed by a perfect Lin-coln high school.

To the Editor·: I hope "A Junior" never gets his wi.sh that we have military train· Ing .In Lincoln high school. He said that we should have military training to teach "discipline, good posture, accuracy and courtesy," Good posture should be . taught by the physical ed11cation department, and the · othe.r points should .be. taken care of in the classrooms. After all, we must remember that the fundamental .purpose of military train· ing is to teach students how to . carry ori . wholesale murder of people of .other countries! Does this promote intern·a uonal fried· ship?. He also says tha.t some Omaha schools have it; why shouldn't we? Yes, Germany and Ifaly have military training in their schools, too.

Frank O'Connell Favors L.H.S. "I believe I like Lincoln high ·school better," was the opinion of Frank O'Connell, junior, who re· turned to Lincoln high after a three months stay in Washington, D. C., where he attended Eastern high school. An eight-period school day starts at 8 :15 and ends at either 2:00 or 2:50. depending upon whether the pupil has an eighth period class or not. "You recite all period long and must do all your studying at home," . Frank said. Every Monday was an · assembly day and the assemblies usually include the flag salute, the Lords Prayer, a reading ·from the Bible, several songs and finishing with announcements.

There are many ways of describ· ing it; as Larry Cllliton, famous songwriter who wrote such hits as "Dipsey Doodle,'' "Saten Takes a Holiday," "Study in Brown," and many other swing arrangements, would express it, "In a sense all swing is a return to the original purpose of jaZZ-,:...Ca free style of playing jazz tunes-freed from some of the ·. over elaborateness of symphonic jazz. Yet Mre it is the. most popula·t diversion in high s1;hool and college. Not long ago 'a swing concert drew 24,000 peopie out to Randall's Island, near New York City. Swing has even invaded Carnegie hall. lilach age has its dance. In the eighteenth · century it was the · minuet. The waltz took its place in the nineteenth cenutry.

This winter on a Fdday or Sat· urday evening about 8:00, when you are getting ready for a formal party or dance, what style of dress will you be getting out of your closet? The strapless gown will be the rage this year, which along with the hair on top of. the head, takes you back to Civil war days. Most of these dresses are made of black taffeta. However all colors and materials may be used very effectively. No mattei· if a blond, brunette or redhead, you will see them all, whether the style is becoming or not, with their hair pushed up high on the head. The most extreme of these hair dresses are for. evening only, but the less exaggerated may be worn daily. To go with that gorgeous hair dress, are immense flowers of bright colors. They are worn on top or to the front of the head. These gardenias, and fruit are clever looking and give the short girl her much longed-for height. Short angora jackets, usually white, wiil be worn with formal dresses this year. They are very feminine looking and also keep that chill between danciis away. Either high or low heels are worn for evening. Platform soles are featured in formal shoes. Dlf· , ferent colored velvets and satins are being used as well as silver and gold kid.
State Bread was supposed to have played the first jazz in the streets of New Orleans. Since then jazz has grown up and this. intoxicat· ing rhythm called swing ha.a taken the country by storm. Currently the shag is the most popular dance. It's easy to do a.nd it goes with almost any step. It solves the problem of crowded floors for it doesn't take much room. In classical music, all the notes are there while in swing one starts with the melody and arranges around it to make -it exciting. The swing arranger really creates the music. Many wonder what will swing be like in a year or two. Some think it is just a fed while others consider it an art to last for a long time to come. Time will only tell whether this latest craze is here to stay.

Beauty Shop Operator Tells Girls Hon' to Become Attractive, How Stay That lVay Hair is going to be shorter this fall than it has been according to . Miss Agnes Schmitt of the Agnee Beauty Shoppe, at the first meeting of the home economics club Monday.

It will not be worn . by business women either, unless it is for formal. affairs. Suggests Hair Arrangement. Miss Schmitt also stated that the hair would not be worn longer than the chin line.

have nack, tact and person.l;i.lity. Another point touched by Miss Schmitt was the beauty of a ~rl. Advises Girls Not to Frown. "Lines are not caused from age, but from eiasticity and use of certain muscles," said Miss Schmitt. "If a girl is in the habit of frown· ing, naturally there will be lines." She said it wasn't how beautiful a girl is, but whether she is herself that really matters to a girl's appearance. _"Smiles do not cost a thing :md they are so stimulating and lasting," continued Miss Schmitt. A girl that does not use a lot of inake-up will look better in the eyes of the boys, according to Miss Schmitt. "A boy doesn't like to be seen with a girl that has - too much rouge or lipstick on. He feels embarrassed when he is among his friends." Extremely arched eyebrows are also quite out of style. Even Hollywood has found that true. Eyebrows are one of the mai11 features of the face. Having some of the girls present pose as models, Miss Schmitt demonstrated several different ways of hair dres.s for high school girls. Miss Schmitt is president of the Board of Examiners. An election was also held at ihis meeting. Elizabeth Lobdell was elected vice president in place of Helen Leverton who has resigned.

. Ancestrial Trees Are Traced Back Tracing back their family lines as far as possible, Mrs. Grace G. Hyatt's fifth period class discovered that some interesting fruit had grown on these ancestrial trees. Both Marian and Barbara Jones claim William the Conquerer as their ancestor, ·while Ardis Lyman's many-great grandfather was Elthan Alien, of the Green Mountain Boys. Mary Elizabeth Anderson had ancestors in Bohemia, Ireland, Scotland, England, Germany and France, and Mary Helen Farrar traces her family back to the 1500's. Mary Aileen Cochran seems to be a descendant of Edward Doty, who came over on the Mayflower. Origin of their names was told by Robert Sorenson ·a nd Robert Schaufelberger. Robert Sorensen's grandfather, who lived in Penmark, was James the son of Soren Peterson, so, as was the Danish custom, he was named James Sor· ensen. Schaufelberger is true German, schaufel being · ,tlie German word for shovel, and berg, ·their word for mountain. This discussion helped establish the understanding that they all had ancestors who lived at the same time of the history they're studying.

Sports Alhu1n Howard Debus, the best passer on the team, stands 6 feet 1 inch in his socks and weighs 183 pounds. "Howie" lettered last year as a sophomore and also won a reserve letter in basketball as well as a major track _letter. He rrtay be classed as a triple threater for he does most of the punting, throws a majority of the passes and delights in smashing the line. He won all state mention last year and should better that· this year. He has one more year of competition, being a junior now. Joe "whirling dervish" Partington is one who lives up to his nick· name. He may be found in the thick of every scrimmage, being a brilliant defensive man. Joe lettered last year as a guard but was changed to the pivot post last spring and has shown up well at this position. He also has won a baseball letter.

Fred Metheny was elected president of the L club ·at the meeting held last Monday night. Other officers ·selected were Joe Partington vice-president; Forrest Bachman, secretary and Don Lovell, treasurer. Dean Jackson because of too many E. C. A. points, was unable to take an office.
The four form er members are Robert Ludwick, Lynn Myers, Vic· tor Schleich and Edward Schfartzkopf. Charles Carper, '36 was out for football while a senior but broke his arm. He lettered in football at the Culver Military a cademy last year and is playing freshman football this year at university.
Lincoln High Gridders Out to Hold Up _ Invincible Record Set By Previous Teams With convincing ".dories over St. Joe Central and Crete high, the Red and Black· appear to be on their way to another great football season to file in their record bbook which will compare with any high school team in the country. Barring the injury jinks, which is always a big problem in any coach's life, Coach Beechner's powerful 1938 Links should be able to stand more than their ground against any team on their schedule. This invincible record dates back sixteen years to 1922 when Coach W. H. Browne, now University of Nebraska assistant football coach, took over the realm at Lincoln high. During his stay of eight years as mentor of Red and Black elevens, his record is envied by many leading high school coaches. For out of the seventy-two games which his teams played, they chalked up sixty-seven victories, three defeats and two ties, emerged state ·champions in 1922, 1925, 1927, 1928 and shared with Omaha Tech. the 1929 crown. In addition to defeating most of the state high school teams during this time, they also defeated the powerful Waite high school of Toledo, Ohio, Lane Technical team of Chicago and played a scoreless tie with Washington high of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Only three teams were able to defeat the Brownemen during his reign. These teams were .Omaha Central in 1923, Omaha Tech in 1924, and Grand Island in 1926, while only two teams were able to gain ties. Although it would be impossible to name all the outstanding grid· ders of this period, special mention should be given, to a few of the more prominent 'ones. Bernard Masterson, now a member of the Chicago Bears, professional footbaJl team, George Sauer, New Hampshire University co a c h, Henry Bauer and Joe Luchsinger made ·u p ·one of the most formidable backfields ever to trod the Red and Black soil.

Track practice will start this week according to Coach "Cy" Yordy. All prospective cindermen who wish to work out until it gets too cold should see "Cy" . some time this week as to equipment and towel fees. Robert Bruce, regular center on the 1938 football squad, has been showing "Cy" Yordy's reserve centers the fine points of centering. With Bob's help the reserve centers have improved a lot and are doing a firie job. Bob was going to attend the University of Nebraska this fall but he considers ' it bes_t_to wait another year. L,ast week was quite a week for injuries to · the footballers. Da-le Kl_ng dislocated his shoulder but was .out' for. . practice . the next night.

Dean "E;itrs", Jackson, Harvey "Hook" Lauer, · Joe "Bloody" Partington and Bill "Battler" Page are a few of the linemen, while the · backs include Don 'Red" Hansen, Don ."Bonehead" Lovell, · Fred "Lei" (Hawaiian) Metheny, Howard' "'Idol" Debus, Bud "Brains" King . and Bill "Sna ke Hips" Jennings. Last week the oval received its first beauty trea~ment In many years. All the remaining grass was cut and trimmed while the nt:_l.CI was dragged .and watered.

To tne father of Bud King, new find from Wyoming, goes the honor ~f be_ing Lincoln's first rooter. Mr. King has yet to miss a practice session or game. Fair weather or foul he is present and fully intends to make every Lin· coln game this season.
Coach's Corner · Two weeks ago Lincoln met and conquered a team with an expe· rienced and well-trained backfield in St. Joe Central. .Last Friday Lincoln defeated Crete, a team with a powerful line, by a margin of one touchdown. Friday Lincoln meets Grand Island a team having both a strong line and a power· ful backfield. Lincoln's first two victories came as the result of a great amount of hard work on the part of the players, coupled with the determination to win, that is so characteristic of Lincoln high school. All the members of the squad realize the importance of the game this week-end so for the past two days ·the boys have been working doubly hard. One must realize however that the. Lincoln schedule is so arranged that our team cannot "point" for any certain game but must take all of them as they come each week for the ten weeks that our season lasts. Without" too many unforseen injuries, or too much bad luck before game time, Lincoln will play a game at Grand Island that the student body can be proud of. Frank W. Mueller.
Grand Island Fracas One of the Toughest Games on Lincoln's Heaviest Schedule Grand Island will be the site of the rival battle between the Red and Black gridders and the Third City lads this Friday, when the Manderymen will try to offset the 6-0 victory of the Links last year. Although Lincoln high has won twelve of the fifteen games played since 1933, Grand Island is one ot the toughest teams on the Links schedule, and there has been 11 great rivalry between them. Both teams will be all keyed up for the gun to start this traditional game. The past record: 1923 1924 192:) J92 G 1927 19 28 1029 1930 1931 1932 1933 1934 1983 19S6 1937

In last year's game, Debus hurled a pass to Ludwick for the lone toi.;chdown. Only Three Veterans Back. Grand Island's starting line up will undoubtedly see Kelly, a senior, returning to his grid position, where he was a r egular all last year. The backfield has Kirk· patrick and Laughlin, both halfbacks, on the return slate and both men saw service all last season. Three Sophomores to Start. In the game against Superior, in which the Third City lads smothered Superior 25 to 0, Mehring snatched a pass and carried the ball over into the end zone for one of the tallies. Davis and De Pue, the other two sophomores, will take over the tackle position. Three sophomores in the starting lineup is very unusual. Willey, a junior fullback, wiil be a threat to th.e Red a nd Black squad. He also chalked up one of the pointers against Superior a few weeks ago . Beck, a junior quarterback, will also exhibit some fine open field running. Much Reserve Strength. The Islander's have much re. serve strength, and although they are green and young, they have much weight. The first team only put two touchdowns across to make the count 14-0, when they played their strong reserve team. Greatest Backfield Since 1929. They claim this year's Lincoln high backfield is the greatest combination of backs since 1929. They showed some of their power in the St. Joseph Central game when sophomore Bud King came through with two markers and Don Han· sen, shifty, speedy back, chalked up the other tally.

'America Should Always Be First in Your Minds,' Says Speaker Who Was Abroad Dr. W. K. Pfeiler, professor ot Germanic languages at the University of Nebraska, told assemblies Wednesday and Thursday his impressions o-1. the present situation in central , Europe. He was abroad on an. inexpensive vacatiol'!for three· months last summer to renew his information on his subject. "I traveled third or fourth class on the boat and on trains," he stated, "because there is no fifth class." Fourth class is called Bum class. He stayed in small hotels and rooming houses because it was more inexpensive and he could get a more intimate view of the life and thoughts of the people. "Europeans never ask why, because they do not want to be informed. They think they know all that they need to know. Americans ask ·questions constantly, they are curious, and are riot ashamed to have people know it," said Dr.- Pfeiler. "Before I left the United States," he said, "I secured quit e a few let· ters of recommendation, one o:f them f~om the governor of our state, which, by the way, helped me greatly, in a few instances." On the boat going abroad he met three German students who had been studying in America fora year. Dr. Pfeiler, choosing his words carefully, asked them what their impression of America had been. They complained that they were not understood here, that pe6ple laughed at Hitler, that Americans did not realize the German people think, "Adolph Hitler is a god, sent to them in their hour of need." .. "Be slow in judging and condemning_' the German people," war ned Dr. Pfeiler. "Educ,;i.ted people should judge all aspects of the situation."

Books Are Like Humans; Why Not Treat Them So?
Savings on Activities Will Be Readily Welcomed Spending $1~75 :for an act ivity ticket in order to see a few football games may seem useless to some pupils ; if that is the only reason they buy the t icket. Each football game costs fifty cents and the pupils can see the university games for only a quarter on a knothole ticket. Neverthel ess the knothole ticket does not include school plays, the school paper and other school activ· ities that the activity ticket does. The argument that a pupil may not wish to attend all t he .games aft er he obtains the ticket ignores the fact that plays, basketball gaines and the Advocate are included. .Another factor favoring the high school price for football games over the university knothole price is the choice of seats. In Memorial stadium, knotholers must sit in either the north or south ends. In the Lincoln high oval, pupils get t heir own choice of seats. Of course, nobody is compelled to purchase either an. activity ticket or a ticket to the football games. However, if all or most of' t he Mtivities offered are taken up. the saving on an activity ticket is decidedly noticeabl e.
Capitol View From West Windows ls Enchanting The beautiful stat e capitol that looms up :when pupils look out the windows on th e west side o:f the school building should bring to mind t he fact that this tower ing building has few equals in beauty or craftsmanship. The morning sun shines down on its dome to bring out the shadows that fill the corners. In the afternoon, as the sun begins to set , a blue haze enfolds the tall tower to bring out a different beauty of the capitol. · Early in the morning you may not be able to see the dome and you wonder if it has disappeared during the night. Th ere probably has been a fog in the very early mornin g that is still hanging on by the tim e you get to school, however. Sometimes the tower is just barely visible. It is interesting to watch the fog lilt and the tower.slowly emerge. There are probably many of you wli:o do. n ot realize the greatness of the capitol. Kot many pupils know that it is more than 400 feet high and covers four city blocks. While you are adiniring the capitol from the windows you should not let it interfere :with your studies. It is all right to take a glimpse during a few spare moments, but don't let y01;.r thoug·hts wander off so close to re~ort sliD's ·time.
To All students Whom This May Concern;. As members of, the choir we, wish to ask the student!\ who sit in the first few rows of the center section 1n the auditoriui'll during assembly period, to- please deposit their gum some· place elee rather than on the sea.ti. Dutulg the. · past two weeks two gh-18 have ruined their dtt'lsses merely be· cause someone didn't do. thil!l. Let u~ Mld in mind ·· the campaign which was held Jut year. Those waste bae1cets ·ar6 still in each corner of the hall, and they still have their name11 "ftemember Me". These a.re not: only for pa• . pers, but a.lso gtitn. Please, for the sake of those . who have. to sit m these seats, don't put guip on them .. · -THE CHOIR. To the Editor: Putting language clubs into .ef· fect at Lincoln high ·such as a Fre11ch club, Spanish chtb, German club, and Latin ·club wbuld iive the pupils .a better understanding of the particular language he ~r she is interested in. . This would also help to enlarge vocabulary words of the averil.g'e . language speaking pupil. The different· clubs .could have speakers come here from the university to have picture. ·shows for the various language · .clubs. This would be of · a good advantage to those who are not inte-rested in the other clubs that th~ school has to offer. DOROTHY ·REA.

"Hey, Mike ! Toss me down that history ,book;'' is a very popular call heard around the h alls and classrooms of Lincoln high school. Books are the most poorly treated articles of all school property. They are tossed into lockers, thrown on the desks, kicked on the floor and they are left lying around on the ground to be. walked on and becom:e soiled and torn. . Lincoln high school tries to provide books in good condition to all of the pupils. Each year thousands of books are badly in need of repair and many pages are lost from them. This causes the help in the bobkroom to work many hours repairing the pages and hook MVffi'S. .. . - · .. - · ..... -··· ..... . -· .. ... .. ·-- · Pupils should refrain from writing words in books and omit scribbling on the pages and on the sides o:f the books, Artists should. not display their artistic ability by d1'awing silly little figures and faces in · the backs of the books and on the pages. One .of the best methods of protecting the books is to place them in book covers and keep small notes instead of writing in the hooks. Using the books as a ·filing cabinet for surplus papers tears the covers loose :from t he binding. •

Should we. have motion pictures in Lincoln high schOol? According to reports and. discussions of the ' pupils we should. Motion pictures in the school wottld help. pupils in their work; especially,, if it ..Wt!re about that particular subject which they were studying in class. For instance, if the pupils in all English classes were req~ired to read '.'The Tale of Two Cit ies," a movie aoout this would help them very much. It would give the pu~ -~~ 11.~ het ter undent/l}\cl~.~J~__ _ story. A movie woutd tend ·· to make the story more interesting for the reader; thiirt'lfore/ he would gain more knoW!edge froin it. · This cotild apply . to all sports. If we were to have a movie after every football game showing dif~ ferent parts of the game it would "pep" up and bring to light more interest in sports. If the pupil's interests .were aroused jnay more activity tickets could be sold arid by doing so the oval could easily be packed. So, "Bring on those much wanted movies." MERWIN CAMPBELL.

Monroe High Sends Literary Publication
Between 'The Covers
"Island Magic," by Elizabeth Goudge is one of thoae rare books which follow a given line of events and still preserve the individual .note that is necessary for spark- · ling charac.terization. The story is a smoothly woven continuity of occurrences, mingled wit h almost incredibly r eal character studies of persons whose i:nake-up is sympathetic and comprehensible. Miss Goudge knows her locale and she knows the temper and moods of the people of the island. The personality of each character is distinctive in its own way; none are dull, or even commonplace. Andre, the father- browbeaten, and discouraged, is yet so courageous that his fears and doubts strike a resouncting chord in the reader's heart. Rachell, the mother, beautiful, aloof, a capable manager, is at times so intensely human that she too, merits a full amount of sympathy. Michell is the eldest daughter, whose loath· ing for the body and everything physical and love for the Intel· lectual and spiritual makes her a stra nge contrast for lovableness and obstinance. Periionelle, the light -footed fairy, an extreme ex· tro•ert, merry spirit ma.kes friends wherever she goes. Jacqueline's life is blighted by fear of obscurity until her kind uncle solves her weighty problem. Colin wishes to be a . sailor and learns swear . words from fishermen. Chubby, lit-
South American Says Lincoln Is A Friendly City
People in Lincoln s,re "so nice and frfendly" according to Roberto Antonio Cuevas, an exchange student from Venezuela, South America, to Iowa State University. He has been corresponding with Lois Scofield for about a year and they were able to meet .and chat . during a Lincoln sojourn. Roberto is studying engineering at Iowa State after which he will return to Venezuela as a government engineer. Spealtlng and read, · ing English quite well, Roberto is unable to write much English; consequently his · letters begin in English and are concluded in Spanish, his native tongue. He is gr eatly puzzled by expressions such as "skip it," "hi toots,"' and "swing it."

Club Schedule Has Recently Been Revised Suggestions Are Made To Assist Sponsors in Checking on Ahsences The club schedule for 1938-1939 has recently been revised and went in effect the beginning of this week. Effective methods have been put in effect by most clubs to pr~ tect themselves from members who atte~d very irregularly, having a ruling that a certain number of unexcused· absences drops them ·from .membership. To assist sponsors in keeping a fair check on: excused absences, the following suggestions have been made: Club members should not, as a rule be excused from their regular club meetiilgs except by a class.room teacher; to make up work or .for extra !lelp. In such cases, a note from the class teacher, placed in the sponsor's box, would of course excuse the absence. If it is. very necessary that a club member be detaine.d for other reasons than class work, a note iihoUld be ·sent before the meeting to the club sponsor. This would apply to rehearsals for assembly programs, for plays or for operas, none · of which· should usually call for more than two absences, and to class committee meetings in 11pecill.l cases when the meetings cannot be held at times mentioned below. Friday which is practically free from club meetings, the second and fourth Tuesdays, if department meetings are not called, and fifth weeks, will probably be favorable times for committee or special group meetings. The clubs, tirne and place of meetings and sponsors are as follows:

lmpovements. Have Been Made Says Don Lillie·
Hi-Y Club Is · Shown Films
Many improvements have been made in the Lincoln school system according to Don M. Lillie, class of '13, who returned for a visit to Lincoln high school Monday, October 3. This was the second time Mr. Lillie had been in the present building, although he recalls distributing handbills petitioning for the new school when he was a pupil in the old building. He found the present building such an improvement over the old one at sixteenth and N streets that he was uname to compare the two. "I think Lincoln schools are as fine as any I have ever seen," said Mr. Lillie. He attributed this to the influence of the university. So far as he has observed, they are better than. the. schools at Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he now lives. While at Lincoln high he was editor of the Advocate, but it too has changed. He remembered a paper printed more In a pamphlet form than in the style of a regular newspaper. It had eight pages, but each page was about the size of a sheet of notebook paper. The only club which . ~s still functioning, organized before his graduation is the chemistry club. At that time there were. many more departmental clubs, but only one has survived. He found also that Lincoln as a ·City has grown rapidly. Sumner street was fairly well out in the country and South street was t.he edge of the residential district. After his graduation :Mr, Lillie went on to the university here, but found the work easier than that at high schooL He is now an officer in the Michigan T,rust company. Lincoln high is indebted to him for the three pictures of Chaucer's Canterbury pilgrims hanging between rooms 203 and 201. Mr. Lillie gave the money for these pictures in appreciation of the benefits of Lincoln high school and they were selected by Mr. Mays who was then principal.

Object Is to Stir Public Feeling Toward Lincoln City Mission To stir public feeling toward the City Mission was the purpose of moving pictures, portraying the daily life at the Mission shown by the Rev. William Becker, supervisor of the Lincoln City Mission at the weekly Hi-Y meeting, last Tuesdiy. These pictures are being shown all over Lincoln to different organizations during the current Community Chest program. The pictures were taken at the City Mission and showed the dif· ferent phases of its work. Mr. Becker said that there is need for contributions and that many repairs are needed for the building. There were forty-seven boys present at tM banquet and many more came . later for the program. Aldon Eberly: new boy's secretary at the Y. M. C. A. and supervisor of the Hi-Y club, was introduced by Oz Slack. A membership drive began and the present members suggested names of boys who would be prospective members of the club.

Enough ammunition here to keep the United Slates in war for two years. No one is allowed to take pictures of it. The crater is shaped like a bowl and is well vegetated. About half way from the bottom of the bowl is a road all the way around the crater. All along the road, magazines (caves) are drilled into the lava or mountain side.

Only once before since rivalry began was there a bigger score, 46-0. Only twice was Grand Island able to penetrate into Lincoln territory, once . in .the third quarter, when Kirkpatrick took a kick-off and raced forty-five yards to tho Links 44 where he was downed by King, the last man between he and the" goal. The only other threat was in the fourth period when a pass from Beck to Laughlin netted 22 yards, and the only Grand Island first down of the game. With the ball on the 43, another pass failed and then Partington halted the ra.l ly by intercepting another pass on the 39. 49 Yard Pass and Run Scores. From the opening kick-off it was evident that the Links were not to be headed. With the ball on the 49 after Grand Island had kicked from deep in their own territory, the Links started. moving.

"Chick" Gordon kicked off and a short pass by Grand Island ran out the game. Line Vastly Improved. The team looked far different from the team that dilly-dallied with Crete last week. It played excellent ball. The line men were playing their positions, charging faster and· harder, and the down field blocking was vastly improved. Joe Partington and Fred Metheny did ©Ccellent work In backing up the line, while in the line Anderson, Bachman, Irick and King looked best. The entire backfield looked good, with Hansen and Debus being outstanding. The work of the reserves was very encouraging and indicated that they will be ready when needed.

Sports Album Dean Jackson is the lightest man on the starting lineup, weighing 153 pounds and measuring 5 feet 11 inches in height. "Ears" is the best pass catcher on the squad, snagging several already this year in the opening games. Dean has a lready lettered in basketball and baseball and last year won a certificate for his playing on the varsity football team. John "Fat" Anderson, the other wingman on the starting lineup, received his biggest football thrill when he caught a touchdown pass against Crete two weeks ago. John is an excellent defensive man and is rapidly developing into a first class pass catcher. He weighs 170 pounds and stretches into the air 5 feet 11 inches. Last year he won a reserve letter as an end also. Eugene Irick, last year certificate winner on the squad, has rapidly blossomed out this fall into a first class guard. He excells on both offense and defense and is a sure blocker. "Jug" has won a reserve basketball letter and tips the scales at 160 pounds, being 5 feet 6 inches in height.
Sportsmanship Shown at Game Intense rivalry, but a sportsmanlike attitude on the part of both players and rooters was the feature most noted by Ardis Lyman ·and Barbara Jones on the recent jaunt to Minneapolis for the Nebraska-Minnesota game. Both girls agreed that their happiest moment was during Jack Dodd's electrifying touch down sprint. "Although defeated, the team made an excellent showing," said the girls, "and we Nebraskans should be proud of them. " Sunday morning, t ogether with the team, Ardis and Barbara went on a sight -seeing tour w hich they both enjoyed greatly.

Have you ever wondered when a t hletics in the United States began? The advancement of teach· ings state that the first recorded intercollegiate contest took place in 1852, the first national ath letic association, in 1905. H arvard university receives credit for the starting of football in the United States, their firs~ game being p layed in 1827 on " Bloody Monda,y", which is just the same as our annual h igh school olympics in which the juniors and seniors try to wreck each other. Football was the easiest way they could think up of wrecking one another so that Is the reason they started it. Soon to follow up Harvard in the playing of football · were the Universities of Yale, Princeto:1, Amherst and B owdoin. Accounts of these matches indicate that the game resembled modern soccer rather than the college football of the present day. \ Baseball' starts in 1839. B"aseball firs t became an organized game in 1839 under the inst ruction of Major Abner Doubleday. Although the game of baseball was organized in 1839, it had l ittle st anding in colleges before 1852. Other land sports at this period such as track, tennis and golf were showed little attention, but Yale and Harvard took up rowing as a pastime. As early as 1843 Yale . undergraduates purchased their first racing boat a nd formed their first racing club. Nine years. later Harvard succeeded in defeating Yale in a race in eight -oared barges over a twomile course on Lake Winnepesa:ikee. A remark was made by a m ember of the Harvard crew that they had done but little rowing up · to t hen because they were afraid they might get blisters on their hands a nd t hat the only training rule they were t o follow was not to eat any sweets on the actual day of the ra,c e. . Because it began in 1843 rowing a ppears to have been the first' sport in which intercollegiate competition took place in the United St ates.

' Another thrill ·of a life time came t rue at the Grand Island game when Collins McMaster, second string end, snagged a pass for the final touchdown. He was taking, chances of getting caught for he was so deep in the end zone when he caught the pass that he crashed into the fence surrounding the field. H e made the catch however and returned for the conversion, only slightly daze d . More nick-names have been d isclosed as belonging t o the athlet es.

Coach's Corner This Friday afternoon out in the oval we meet the Beatrice reserves, a team we ki1.ow nothing about. Regardlessly we will show the fans a good game for the boys have been working ver y hard. Another game has been added to our s chedule. It is with the Jackson reserves and is s cheduled for November 4. E agle will also be played here, on November 14. Our remaining ga:ines are with Creighton Prep here and with the Fremont reserves at Fremont. The d ates a r e pending however. Track equipment is being issued after school for those who wish to wor k out until the weather gets t oo cold. We were very pleased in the way t he fir s t team delivered in the Grand Island game. The work of t he second string in t hat contest was very commendable as they 11cored the last touchdown in fin e fashion. We feel that with proper s tudent support the team should go far this season. We open the Missouri Valley conference race t his w eek end meeting Sioux Cit y Central a t Sioux City Saturday afternoon. John Yordy.
Reason Given for Few Activity T icket Sales In last week's Advocate under a ctivity ticket sales, 226-B had the lowest number of sales. The reason for this is because almost all of the pupils in 226-B are earring only a part time schedule and can't be here for the football games, which are the main attraction of this semester's ticket.

Student Council Wants New Suggestions Don't sit back on your haunches and let the ot_her fellow _do your thinking for you! .. You have some good ideas too! All of you who have wished and wished and wished that the lights would be brighter in the halls or that the various classes would hold proms or that the point system would be revised, don't be bashful. Write out your suggestions and put them in the student council box in the office. The sentiment, "Oh, well, what's the difference; the council doesn't do anything, anyway!" is wrong. One_ hundred percent wrong. All suggestions by pupils that are WORTHY of consideration are brought up in council meetings. So don't be a "bushel light" (definition: a bushel light is one who ·hides his cute ideas under a bushel). When those bright thoughts pop into your head write them down! The council needs the. aid and co-operation of the student body if it is to function to the greatest advantage.

Tall{s to Clim Ah~ut Lighting Ruth Menoher Explains Correct Lighting at Meeting Correct Lighting in the Home was the topic of the speech given by Miss Ruth Menoher at the Home Economics club meeting, Monday, Oct. 9. Miss Menoher, who is from the Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power company, showed the group how many candle feet of light there were in various places in the room. •It was found to be very low in some places, indicating that the room was insufficiently lighted. "Persons of this generation use the_ir eyes. thirty percent more than those who lived one generation ago," she stated. "This due to the fact that we stay up later into the night nowadays." · "Avoid glare, which is merely light out of place, by having light places shaded. Never have uncovered or colored bulbS," she continued: "have enough . light _in enour;h places.·•

Dr. l"'oderTall(s atP. T.A. Effects of Alcohol, and Narcotics Is Subject "Scientific Findings as to the Use and Effects of Acohol, Narcotics, and Marijuana" is the topic on which Dr. J. Edwin Loder, principal of the Havelock high school, spoke to the Hayward P . T. A. last Tuesday, October 11. Dr. Loder is the first principal in Lincoln to obtain his doctor's de .. · gree according to Miss Annie Cogil, principal of Hayward who introduced him at the meeting. "Fear is the worst motivation we have for teaching the use of narcotics," Dr. Loder said. Narcotics is a substance which if taken into the body in large quantity will kill. All narcotics cause persons to be unintelligible, helpless and _bQi_s_terous. -- - - -- --" Alcohoi is one oi"the bes t s ub-
stances kno"vn to trn:ut, ~ .or. ~ stated. "It is used io about 400 different kinds of medicine. Alcohol will not rot the insides as some people think," he added. "It is classed as a third class food to be used for fuel. Alcohol deadens all sense; slows reaction time, speed and skill; and disconnects the muscles." "Opium, from which morphine, heroin and countless -other drugs are derived has no ·value as medicine,'' he said. There are about 100,000 opium addicts in the United States. "Hashish or marijuana has no value as medicine, its only use is for pleasure and. pr of its," .he stated. It is usually smoked as a cigaret or "reefer." ·A person who uses hashish, first has red, swollen eyelids and later he becomes insane. Dr. Loder said, "There is no federal law to prevent sale of marijuana. A good rule for children to follow is to be careful in accepting food or candy as gifts from strangers. It is everybody's duty to p r omote the welfare or the community."
-Latest Addition to Lincoln School Board Enjoys Work in Helping Educate Y 01tlh Dr. O. V. Calhoun finds his work as a member of the school board intensely interesting. He was chosen .to fill the vacancy left by the death last summer of the Rev. Frank Milis and is the newest member of the board. "I think that work ori the school board is one of the most important civic services. We deal with the education of the young people and it is the youth, not only in this nation but all over the world, who shape the destiny of civilization;" he stated. When asked if he thinks the public is well en·o ugh informed on the . work of the school board he replied that he had not thought so before he became a member, but that he was surprised at the number of persons who were interested in the board's work and how well informed they were. He expressed the opinion that a doctor has particular interest in the .board and that he may do excellent service. The problems of sanitation, cafeteria service and injuries to high school athletes are some that pertain especially to him. "I find the project of adult education very fascinating and feel that it .is one feature on which many people are uninformed. Helping those who did not have a chance to complete their education

Mr. Thomas, who gave a performance in Lincoln il!illt Friday night 8.t the St. Paul church, said, "In Eu~ope people have been raised with opera and can understand .everything being sung and taking place. Americans haven't had the chance which these other peoples have and since most opera is . written in a European language and with a European setting 11.nd story it is just that much more difficult for them to really appreciate a performance."

Major Topic Is Safetv., Student Council Also Discusses First Matinee Party Committee reports featured the student . council meeting . of last Wednesday. With but one or two exceptions, every committee hai; begun toJuncl.ion .:;i.nd.very d"fini t e
- results have already been obtained. The first matinee party of this semester held Friday figured considerably in the open discussions that followed the reports given by the committee chairmen. Virginia Ford assigned each' council member a job to help make this first after-school dance a success. Safety was also a major topic under _c onsideration, not only be· cause this is the first of the year and the committee is as yet not well organized, but also because so many new safety plans have been received. Two new members appointed were Robert Miller and Newman Buckley, who will work with the rest of the committee and Miss Marguerite Gundermann, recently appointed a ssistant sponsor of the council. A special committee on class dues was appointed by the president. John Jay Douglass will serve as chairman and Fred Metheny and Martha Ann Bengtson will assist him.

Bicycle Painting Brings Trouble Several Lincoln h igh school pupils had a strange experience w hen they decided to paint their bicycles. ' The boys worked hard in collecting "odd paint" about the neighborhood trying to find enough white paint for six bicycles. Since the painting took place all at once it aroused the curiosity of a certain ]ady in the same neighborhood, who reported to the police that the boys were painting stolen bikes. The police appeared upon the scene while the hard labor was in process and became inquisitive about the painting and began to take the numbers and names of each. part. After explaining, the. boys finally convinced the police that they were the owners. As a result of the police scattering the parts about some of the boys have stated that they have r~ceived a better bike than they • had before.

L incoln high t ells us tha.t we l!lhould hav e school spirit and come to the gs.mes, yet her spirit is keeping rna.ny away from . these games by its unexcusa.ble price of fifty cents a game. Many pupil!! and even t ownspeople want to go to these games and would except for that price. Any school pupil can see a university game for half the. t price. Also many do not want to get a.n activity ticket because they don't want to see all the games. As I see It, Lincoln high is just crip· piing its cheering section and t aking the advantage of seeing the games away from its own pupils. A JUNIOR. To the Editor:

An echo is the only thing that can beat a woman out of t he last word. Double-jointed describes a fellow who owns two restaurants. Hun garian gonlosh is an imported overshoe. Niece is where a girl should wear her skirts below. Debate is a little ,,·orm on a. hook. Electrocution is learning public speaking. Denial is a riv er in Egypt.

Why shouldn't Lincoln high havt; a letter day :for all the boys and girls who own a lettf'r sweater? There are thirty-seven boys and twenty girls that have sweaters, and the ot her 1tudents would like to know who they are. In North Side High School, Fort Wayne, Indiana, they set aside the first Friday in every month to w ear their sweaters, illstead of any day they take. a notion to. There may be new students in the school who have never heard of our letter s w eaters, and certainly this would be a good way for them to find out. W hy not make our school prou d by honoring a day f~r letter sweaters, as w ell as making the people proud that have earned them! A Junior.

Peacefulness Of Library Offers Place For Refuge As you enter the library from the busy hubbub of the hall, it seems that you have entered into a peaceful shrine filled with a wonderful treasure of dreams which you may select from the shelf and r ead without dis-· turbance. Many new books have been added to the old t r easures of Lincoln high which ought to make the studen:ts want to taste this so-freelyoffered luxury more than they do. All students should be encouraged to read ttt least three books a semester, for it helps nne to broaden his mind and it also helps in 1 tudies.
Put-puts Seize Control of Parking in Driveway "Put-put! put-put! put-put!" This sound is becoming more familiar every day. It is the sound of the small motor scooters rolling along the way to school. The put-put is classified as a vehicle and, therefore, needs to be registered. It also needs a parking place in the driveway on the east side of the building. However, it looks so lonely taking up a whole parking space all by itself. Imagine the spot some pupil would be in, driving up the driveway with three minutes to go before the tardy bell rang. Down t he line aways he sees a place beside two large cars. The pupil thinks, ''I '11 make it after all.'' Then, as he starts to turn in, up looms a put. put parker very neatly, right in the middle of the lane. Bicycles have racks on the south side to rest in during the time owners are in school. They do not take up entire parking spaces in the driving lot. If the size of a put-put was taken in square inches, it would be found that it takes up nry little space. 'l'here are only five or six in school at present and one space would be ample for <ill of them if they would be satisfied to share the same one. Not only are these put-puts a headache to the drivers but they are also an acciden t hazard. Darting in and .out between cars, they bring clanger to themselves .and to the occupants of the cars. So, put-puts: Be reasonable.

G.A.A. Hears Betty Clemens Guest Speaker Attended Aquatic School In Arkansas G. A. A. had a guest speaker, Miss Betty Clemens, who attended an aquatic school in Arkansas this 1ummer. The school had an enrollment of 80 persons. "The purpose of these schools is to teach people who are going to teach examiners and beginners perfection in the art of swimming and life saving. There are now 715,000 people credited with junior, 1enior and examiners emblems in the United States." Miss Clemens went on to say "Tom Blake, champion swimmer and competitor of Johnny Weismuller brought back and introduced the surf board from Hawaii. The surf board can play an important part in life saving and can easily be handled and used like a canoe. Mr. Blake used a surf board against a man who used a canoe in a race and easily won the race.'' It was decided and made a motion that all board members of G. A. A. meet the Wednesday preceding the G. A. A. meeting on Thursday nights. After s_chool sports towel fees were discussed, but no definite plans were made. A motion carried that G. A.

Spelling Tests Haunt Physiology Students If some pupils are seen walking around repeating certain words over and over again, they should be given sympathy. Miss Helen Scheme I, teacher of physiology classes, has taken to giving spelling tests once a week_ to her classes using the old fashioned method. For each misspelled word the pupil must write each word he misspells two hundred times. Consequently words like these must be preying on pupils minds: Diphtheria, pneumonia, pericarduim, epithelical, endothelial, accelerator, cholera, acne, physician, fatigue, muscular, capacity, arteries, parachute, mosquitoes, disease, parallel, alcohol, massage, guinea. These words were correctly . spelled when ~ceived by the reporter. Any mispelling is a typographical error.

District Judge J ohn L . Polk talked on cases concerning juvenile delinquencies a t the Tuesday evening meeting at the Hi-Y , October 11. Judge Polk is head of the social relations department, which has j urisdiction over mother's pensions, divorces and juvenile cases. As the club members w er e apparently un interested in mothers pensions and div orces, the talk was confined to the juven ile court cases. E very Friday afternoon juvenile court is held. Boys a n d girls from the ages of eight to sixteen are tried. T here are six times as many boys, appearing at this court, as girls. This fact was accounted for by Judge Polk remarking that " girls are tied to their mothers apron s trings moreso than boys." Judge Polk s tressed two fundamentals which are necessary for modern society to run smoothly. One is discipline, which every person must learn sooner or later, and the other is to respect · the rights and property of the other fellow. Discipline should be taught by parents to their children when young. This is necessary for the organization of society. It is the duty of every good citizen to see that he respects t he property of others and to see that his property is respected by others. "If these tw o fundamentals were observed by all," concluded Judge Polk, "the penal institutions of the nation would be t otally uninhabited."

Beechnerites Ring Up Their Fifth Consecutive Victor~ Links Trip Sioux City Central by Count of 19-7 Jackson, Metheny and King Hit Pay Territory Against the Maroons At Stockyard Stadium Reverting to aerial tactics after repulsing the enemy three times in a rocky first quarter, the· Red and Black gridders punched out a 19-7 victory to spoil the homecoming plans of the Sioux City Central Maroons last Saturday afternoon at Stock Yards park in Sioux City. Superiority of the Lincoln passing .. attack was the margin between the two teams as figures will clearly show. Central completed three passes out of twenty attempts for a gain of 36 yards while Lincoln completed five out of thirteen tries for a net yardage of 91 pards. Three Central tosses were intercepted by Lincoln, one of which resulted in a score. In a matter of first downs Lincoln chalked up seven, gaining 58 yards overland. Central rolled up nine and garnered 90 yards. Six of the Maroon first downs were made in the first quarter when they made their only sustained effort of the afternoon. Sioux City Makes Three Threats. With Johns, Urback and Day handling the ball, Central took the opening kickoff and marched to the Links six yard line only to be halted when Day fumbled. Debus kicked out only to have the Maroons advance the ball right back to the three yard line on a series of Jong runs and short passes. The Red and Black braced how· ever and took ·over the ball on downs. The final threat came when the Maroons, after being set back. by marvelous kicking by Debus, marched to the Lincoln 12 on a series of passes and plunges only to be halted onc.e more by a· Lincoln stonewall. A quick kick by Howard Debus put the Maroons on their own 11 as the quarter ended. Debus to Jackson Flip Seo.res. Passes from Debus to Hansen, Jackson and Keszler brought the ball from the Lincoln 47 to the Sioux City 20 and a moment later a 20 yard flip to Jackson was good for the initial touchdown. King's attempted placement was no good making the score read Lincoln 6; Central 0. Central then took to the air lanes and came dangerously close to completing some passes, but the threat fizzled when Lorenz intercepted one pass and Day was smeared on another attempt. A punting duel and pass interceptions ended the quarter altho as the half ended a 35 yard pass too .Hansen from Debus was completed. Early in the third period a punt by Debus was blocked and was recovered by Mitchell, Central guard, who galloped to score and put Central back into the runnning. Newton split the uprights with his kick to put Central into the lead. Central 7; Lincoln 6. A Lincoln advance was halted on the Central 36 as a partially blocked pass by Debus was caught by Joe Partington, an illegal receiver. Again attempting to utilize the air lanes Central was unsuccessful except for completion from Adcods to Uimes. Metheny Intercepts Pass to Tally. In the fourth quarter Fred Metheny, alert Red and Black defensive man, intercepted a pass thrown by Lohry from the Central 21 yard line an meandered 25 yards to score placing the Links out in front once more. Because of a poor pass from center the conversion failed. Four minutes remained to play fhen Lincoln scored again to sew up the ball game. Debus punted out of bounds and Central put the ball in play on the 35. Day Jost five but then Lohry broke loose for 17 yards to the 47. Two tries lost 3 yards and then Day attempting to pas was smeared fi>r a 13 yard setback. A lateral forward from aHnsen to Debus to King put the ball on the Central 20. "Buddy" King then smashed over center for twenty yards and the final tally. Hansen placekicked the extra point to make the final score read Lincoln 19; Central 7. Coach Beechner cleared the
bench of all reserves to finish the game. Debus was the outstanding player on the field and received capable support from his mates. Melvin Keszler. who replaced John Anderson who was ihjured in the opening period also played good ball. Mitchell and Lohny were outstanding for Sioux City. Summary: Central-

North Field Team Wins }. . irst Game The Lincoln high school north field team defeated the College View reserves, 13-6, last Thursday afternoon at the College View field. Coach Joe Toman substituted his three teams, letting each team battle for one quarter. The second and first team alternated in the fourth quarter. The College View reserves held the north fielders to no score in the first quarter although they were threatened three times. Just a few seconds before the first qaurter ended northfielders got the ball on the 15 yard line. In the second quarter the second team came in and they put the ball over the goal when Hawkins. took the ball on a reverse from Wisher. Wisner plunged for the extra point. In the third quarter College View scored on a pass against the third . string, although failed on th~ extra point. In the rou ..th quarter the second string was put in. But College View's aerial attack was too strong. When the first string was put in t'he College View was on the 15 yard line with a first and ten although they were held. The first team in return drove the ball all the way back the field for another touchdown. The ball being taken over by Bud Marshall, the kick by Chapin for the extra point was a trifle bit short. That touchdown put the game on in for the north f ielder because there was only a minute and a half to play. In the remaining time a northcfielder got away for about sixty yards and took the ball to the two yard line although the play was called back on account of clipping. The three teams are well balanced except for the third team line being fairly weak. They had a scrimmage among themselves last Monday in preparation for a game Tuesday with the Bethany reserves, which is to be played here. The starting line up for the north field team was: Ridpath, Oden, ends; Crawford, Goeglin, tackles; Lyman, Klein, guards; Deffenbaugh, center; and Miller, Chapin, Marshal, Desch in the backfield The team playing the second quarter was: Hubbard, Todd, ends; Goe, Zipp, tackles; Eivell, Mayhorn, guards; Brown, center; and Wisner, Castile, H aw kins, Schwindt, backs.
Football Team Now Completely Outfitted Four additional new football uniforms were obtained by Coach Beechner and owing to the departure of Strawn and Therien every member of the squad is now completely outfitted in new togs. The new numbers, in additfon to the one of Heriry Reichel, who was left out, are: No.. 10, Henry Reichel, back. No. 11, Curtis Knudson, back. No. 35, Bill Page, center. No. 36, Tom Miller, guard.

Making good on every goalward march, the Lincoln reserves slapped a 25 to 0 victory over in· experienced Beatrice seconds, last Friday in the Red and Black oval. The second string for Lincoln started the fireworks by'· intercepting the Beatrice reserves' pass on the visitors' own 35 yard line and Harry Blum returned it to tne 13 yard line. An Orange and Black guard shot through the line to set Schmidt back 3 ·yards on the next play, but John Fox picked up 6 yards and then flipped the pass to Leonard for.the initial score.

returned a couple of days ago. He is Lincoln high's severest grid criti.c, but one of it s rest supporters and always has a good word to say for the boys. Clyde "Oiz" Dean seems to be well supplied with sweaters and jackets since his trip to Englana. Diz has been wearing one certain sweater which probably everyone has notic:;ed. It is white with an American" on the back. There are an emblem on the arm. Diz has a . sleeveless sweater with .the same insignia on front. He also has a blue jacket with the words, "AllAmerican Insignia on front and a lot of "L" sweaters, but you can find just one All American In Lincoln · high.
Sports Chatter In preparation for their opening Missouri Valley conference tilt with the little · Maroons of Sioux City Central, the Beechnerites poured in four touchdowns in a scrimmage against 9Y Yordy's reserves last , week Tuesday. A Debus-Jackson pass was climaxed by Bud King's plunge from the six yard line for the tally. Hansen accounted for the second counter on a short plunge after he snagged a pass from Debus, which netted. 45 yards. Bill Page blocked a punt and ran seven yards for the next tally; while the final 10core came on. a short plunge· by Henry Reichel, which followed a 70 yard march. Debus plowed across for two of the extra points, whilo· Klngs's .P-~aeement was good.
In the last week ·Coach Beechner has lost two capable players who answered the call to other places. Dean Strawn, backfield man who recently changed to guard, moved to Los .A,.ngeles, California, while Russ Therien, e longated end, transferred back .to Bethany, Whence he came. This leaves the squad with exactly 29 · players, the number which Coach Beechner usually take.s on trips. Dick Hitchcock, former Lincoln grid great, was forced to give up football at. the ·university of Nebraska where he was playin!;I .a tackle position. The heavy de· mands of his engineering course caused this.
Dul\Ile Haas, member of the 1937 football squad, didn't reply to Coach Beechner's call for football candidates this fall_: because of a serious .infection in his leg. Duane . was a substitute halfback last season.
Beatrice high school was evidently intending to have a state championship football team until Jackson came along and knocked it off 12-7. Last summer twentythree .Beatrice. players were at the athletic camp at Crete. · However a win over Lincoln would still put ther.n in the running and average that last second victory Lincoln eked out last year. Ralph Beechner was so elated over his teams showing in Grand Island, that he stopped in York and bought them all candy bars. I t 's a welcome sight to see "Pop" Abbott back on the sidelines once more. "Pop" has been absent for a couple of weeks, but
The (Tnknown Suh We had a date with Southern Cross To meet them on the field; We knew we'd win most any game With a man ·like Snaky Fields. Snaky rari the kickoff bac.k Most 60 :vards or more And while he was doing this The other team got sore. They almost killed our triple threat And would have done it too If our _very brilliant coach Hadn't known the thing to do. He took Fields out of that great game And patched his cuts and bruises; He put in a sub to fight and win And said he'd take no excuses. Snaky's sub really hit them hard; The line looked like a sieve; The team that was on the defense Wished they'd never lived. Oh Snaky's sub was a very great man, A very great man was he, For when the game was in the past The score was ten to three. Now that Snaky's on the bench, The sub's in all his glory; He was made captain of the team, But that's another story. ·Robert Leonard.
Bucking a strong Beatrice high team this Friday in their second home g1!-me of the season, the Beechnerites will be t ryin g to build up a, more substantial score than the · last-second frail 6-0 count of last year's fracas. T he Links have taken quite a lead in the last fifteen years of rivalry between the two schools on the gridiron. From twelve games, Lincoln has managed to come o ut on the top, with two tilt s scoreless ties, for a percentage of .915. The past records: 1923-Lincoln 77, Beatrice 7. 1924-Lincoln 20. Beatrice O. 1925-Lincoln 47, Bea.trice 0. 1926-Lincoln 41, Beatrice O. 1927-Lincoln 45, Beatrice 0. 1928-Lincoln 30, Beatrice 0. 1929-Lincoln 31 , Beatrice 6. 1930-No game. 1931-Lincc:iln 0, Beatrice O. 1932-Lincoln 19, Beatrice 0; 1933-Lincoln 0, Beatrice 0. 1934-No game. 1935-Lincoln 7, Beatrice o. 1936-No game. 1937-Lincoln 6, Beatrice 0. Lincoln has piled up a total of 323 points to a Jone 13 tallies for the Orangemen. Links Have Close One. Last year's fracas saw the game in the last exCiting seconds when Debus was sent in and flipped a short pass to Mussen for three yards. Then Debus passed on to Sid Held, '38. This netted 25 yards and a first down on the Orangem.en's 19 yard line, when with a couple of seconds left, Debus again let fly with one to Held for the lone tally, · Eight Juniors to Start. With six letter men on the return list, five of whom are juniors, the Beatrice men may put up plenty of opposition. Thg:ie returning from last year are: J a ck Sharroch, hefty 212 pound tackle; Merle Ward, center; Alvin Lampe, guard; Art Claussen, other guard, and Edgar Burroughs, big six footer at fullback and Charles Plath, 142 pound speedy safety man. F r ed Shirey, who hails from Pennsylvania, and la st year won an A ll-American rating, while ·holding down a tackle spot on the 1937 Cornhusker football squad, is now head coach at Beat rice. Beatrice Lost Two for Three. In their open tilt, Beatrice lads tripped Tecumseh, 12-0, and w ere knocked down by St. Joseph Central by the count of 13 to 7. Jackson took t hem to the tune of 12-7. They tangled with York last Friday in their second Mid-East game of the current season. Touchdowns in their games this fall have been made by Alvin Lampe, Frank Muttoon, Jjjdgar Burroughs and Ernest Smethers.
The Beatrice team averages 155 pounds, with the line coming to 174 pounds, a nd the backfield 148 pounds, w hile the Red and Black squad aver ages 173 pounds and the line is 171 pounds and the backfield tallies 175 pounds. The probable starting lin e-ups: l .. incoln

He tips the beam at 170 pound s and is 5 feet 8 inches tall. Last year he won a reserve foot b all letter.

To the E ditor: There are a number of new pupils that come from other schools into Lincoln high every year who do not know methods in Lincoln high. So why not have the principal, or some executive, explain to all the new pupils some ways of the school, such as, how credit hours are worked and where important r ooms are, as office, .superintendent's office, lost and found, activity ticket office and book room. There are, most likely, other things that should also be discussed. -JOE WHITEHOUSE. To the Editor: The Open Forum seems to be about the best place to state my opinion to the faculty and members of the s tudent body. A school as large as Lincoln high definitely requL 's m ore social activities. The clu bs which the school offers provide a means and way to acquaint people and familiarize them with different in· formation on sulljects pertaining to book and magazine reading, current events, drama tics, singing, arts, phot og raphy, a irplane building and public spea king. Without these clubs, I · believe our school would be a total failure as to mixing the different groups of students. Once a month (sometimes more seldom) a matinee pa{ty is sponsored by the high school student body, but outsipe of that one party, there are ·no other school social parties. Most schools, · regardless of size, have weekly mixers and dances. l\.t the mixers, plays a nd games and dancing are the usual source of enter ta inment. The pla ys offer th ~ students an opport unity to perform before t heir classmates while otherwise t hey may never get . a n other chance to display their a bility. I, as many of my classmates, firm ly believe Lincoln high should provide for more . informal school get-togethers. I do not see why it would not be possible for the school to experiment with the idea as it would be of no expense to the school if a small admission fee was to be charged, as it is being done a t the matinee parties, and I feel sure tha t the outcome Vlould be a success and it would be very much a.pprecia.ted by the

Lincoln high school pupils like carrots and eat just as sensibly as their teachers, according to observations made by cafeteria workers. In fact , all vegetables are great favorites, even brussels sprouts and cauliflower. This phenomenon is explained by the fact that t he •present generat ion .of pupils has been fed vegetables ever since they can remember, while formerly a child did not embark on a vegetableeating career until · nine or ten years ~Id when he had already formed a dislike for them. The average sale is bet ween nine an<J. ten cents, but this includes all five cent candy sales. The amount spent on hot lunches is between ten and t welve cents. The cafeter ia has had · a steady crowd this year, but pupils are spending less money than last and more are carr"ying sandwiches.
Between The Covers Folk poet ry is the essence of the n ew book , "I Hear America Singing ," compiled by Ruth A . Barnes. It is an anthology of verse from every part of the countr y and from every period of American history. ·T hese are the words t o the songs sung by sailors, trappers and shanty boys at their work, and verses sung by cowboys and word melodies sung by the negro cotton-picker s of the South. Ballads of every type a nd description may be found in t his volume, Ken-• t ucky mountain ballads, covered w a gon balla ds, all t old in the dialect peculia r to their type. This is t he form of p oetry which should be read a loud to r evive the fullest enjoym ent. T he bare words may look thin upori a page~ They need the sound of a voice to give them volume. F olk poetry is not universally enjoyed; t herefore this book will appeal to a limited audience. It is' not for those who like t o spend a quiet evening reading smooth ly coursing phrases drifting in metrical succession. It is r ather aimed .a t those who love the jogging, . uneven rhythm of the wide open spaces. Eleven sections it has, among t hem are: "Hittiri' F 'r t he West ward," "There's Gold in Them ...

Youth of Nation Must Take Stand For Safe Driving Since 50 percent of all accidr,ntal deaths are cause d by motor v ehicle accidents. the youth of the nat ion must take a definite stand for safety in d riving. TO< help t he congested traffic at crwenty-second a nd Randolph st.reet s, Lieutenant Richa rd Bermett of the Lincoln police depar' m ent has s ugg ested t hat cars istead of unloading pupils whil· t hey are s t opping for the stop :n on Twen tysecond street t i the corner either rig ht or le .nd unload t he st udents in one c .e three designated yellow zc Drivers are a gain warned r J pa rk where the curb is pail u red. for by so doing the throu.gh g1>ing traffic ;s impeded. Louisiana i·,i the first st ate t o take steRs in promoting better dr iving amo ng hig h sch ool students and t owards that end has es tablished classes in saf e driving . Bat on Roug e in particula r can be pointed out as a n example of pioneering in this field. Cert ain a utomobile concerns have g iven fifteen white cars wit h rules of · s afety painted on them to t he school's safe driving classes. Each da y four student~ to a ca r g et a ctua l experien ce in practicing safety r ules. While Lincoln h ig h is much t oo la rge for such a scheme, each young driver can practice safety r ules in his own ca r if he is willing to. It has been estimated that before you die one out of every three of your a cquaint ances w ill be either killed or seriously injured in an auto~ mobile accident if th e present reckless driving increa ses. Lincoln high can be one s chool t o disprove this theory. So if not for others sa ke, think of you rself a nct drive saf e.

All dishes in the cafeteria are five cents except a meat plate offered on special days. This is ten cents and includes a piece of meat, a dipper of mashed pota toes and so.m e sort of relish . Sales a verage betw een 60 and 90 a day and baked ham· is a g reat fav orite. More vanilla ice cream is sold than any other flavor, largely because of the popularit y · of sundaes. Meat takes f irst place over peanut butter and cheese in sandwich sales. In the candy field, Snickers and nut Hersheys take t he lead. Aft er school ca ndy sales a,lways increase when a play practice or something else is going on to k eep pupils a t school. The cafeteria, which is under t he supervision of Mrs. Helen P ierce, serves between 900 and 1 ,000 pupils a day and employs 12 women.

Suh Deb Styles No matter how much you pa y f or your clot hes, or how stylish they are, if not worn at t:he proper time a nd place, their g la mour will be completely lost .

F ancy th ings are more often worn for the wrong occasion t han sportswear. The proper p lace for the different types of clothes is det ermined by the pra ct icability of the ga rments.. It is easy to see why a sports outfit, including rubber soled shoes, would n ot be the t hing for a dance, while highheeled shoes would hurt your f eet if worn for school with all th e walk ing of .a ,school day .

Girls Who Intend to Be Boss Should Marry a Man With a Small Head
Hi-Y Hears a Distinguished Evangelist Man Who ·Gave Up Fame and Fortune Speaks to Club At Meeting. A distinguished visitor spoke to the Hi- Y at its last meeting October 18. This man gave up fame and fortune in order to help others, through evangelism. He is Elmer C. Miller, from South B~nd, Indiana, who gave helpful aids. to boys seeking a business executive position. Dr. Miller told of his life story, how he became a successful business man at the age of twentyaeven and later had the opportunity of being the president of a· large corporation. The posn:1on offered would have paid a regufar 11alary .of seventy-five thousand dollars a year plus bonuses in bonds, which would have made Dr. Miller a multi-millionaire. But Dr. Miller sacrificed wealth to become .an eva~gelist. .Dr. Miller's rapid c1imb in business was due to his putting more into his work than was expected of him. "In seeking a position," stated Dr. Miller," try to get in the larg· est firm possible, the bigger the better. There is a larger field for promotion. Be big enough to assume responsibility and learn all you can about men in every walk of life;'' Dr. Miller told the boys never to let success go to their heads and to keep humble. "Don't talk salary to your em· ployer," continued Dr. Miller, ''hut work hard and let the salary take care of itself." Dr. Miller received over thirty-five raises in saiary during his business career without asking for one. .

Tallis to Club On Window Displaying Art Club Hears Richard Ernesti, Directol' of Displays at Miller & Paine. Richard Ernesti, director of iisplays at Miller and Paine, ' taJl{ed to the art club, Thursday. He told the club of the different meanings that different lines· have. For instance, pointed lines, or triangles which were adopted just before the depression, give the feeling ot excitement and indifference W"ich depicted the people during that era. This year the lines are wavy which show happiness. "There are three types of win• dow displays," stated Mr. Ern~su; "the sale windows, pertaining to different sales in the department store, the style window having tu do with style alone, and, lastly, the institutional window having no direct bearing -:m the department l!ltore." He also· said .the weather determined to a great extent the type of display which is used. On a rainy day raincoats and umbr~•las are shown. On snowy days galoshes. · "Sometimes toward the last r·art of the summer you ·Can see fur coats in one window and bath!ng suits in another," laughed Mr. Ernesti. "This," he explained, "is due to· the fact that the dep3.rtment store has bathing suits left over which must be sold because the style will be out by the next year."

Development in Instruments Biggest Advance in Aviation Says H. C. Mardis "I think the biggest advance in aviation since the World war has been the development of the in· struments," stated. H. C. Mardis, principal, in a talk to the Skycrafters,. October 17. Mr. Mardis was in the air service during the World war. He received his training at Kelly field anp Canadian field in Texas. World war planes had only three instruments; a magnetic compass, a tachometer and an altimeter, Mr. Mardis told the Skycrafters. He remarked that modern transports have between 150 to 200 dials. The magnetic compass used during the war was not reliable because the magnetic pull of the motor would throw it off. The tachometer merely registered the revolufions per minute of the motor. The altimeter was a barometer marked off in feet to measure the height of the plane. Mr. Mardis explained that the type of altimeter was very unreHable because it measured only air pressure and it could be affected by even a change of . wind. Operation of the earth induction compass used by Commander Byrd
was explained by means of diagrams by Mr. Mardis. This compass can be set to the earth's lines of force, thus insuring greater accuracy. The robot pilot used by Howard Hughes on his round the world trip is more or less a military secret, disclosed Mr. Mardis. It is operated by two gyroscopes that control the wing and tail controls "rhe flight of a plane under the robot pilot's . control is smoother than when piloted by humans because the automatic pilot is more sensitive to flight irregularities and can counteract them quicker. The development of autogyro type planes for private flying is Mr. Mardis' prediction for the next great advance in aviation. "Unlimited opportunities await the young man who has been properly trained for aviation," stated Mr. Mardis, who compares the aviation industry at this period to the time when Henry , . Ford began making automobiles. He terr.arked that the field will not be crowded bec·ause most people don't care to put out the effort to acquire the necessary . knmvledge .

Marjorie Thomas, of the continuity dep~rtment of K.F.A.B. and K.F.O.R., talked to the wrt.ers club last Wednesday, about writing for the radio. Miss Tho1nas spoke about the different ph<tses of radio writing, stating that no other type of writing was as limited in scope as radio writing. A .playwright may fall back on the costumes and actions, If wurd!I fail him. The newspaper has problems of type, headlines and nt.ws coverage, and "sloppy" · writing may often pass. This is not so with radio writing. The radio writer must depend upon his choice of words alone. Miss Thomas advises those who are interested in radio wilting to listen to the radio often to understand ·the fundamentals of . the thing. Commercial copy and sustaining copy are the two types used. Sincerity Counts in Radio "Sincerity is the biggest thing in radio writing," declared Miss Thomas. One must put over the product to be sold, and sincerity is absolutely necessary for this. Accur'l.;y is next important after sincer•ty. "Radio writing is the most · thanldess part of radio," she ,;aid. "Carlton E. Morse, who wr;tes 'One Man's Family,' is the •mly radio writer I have heard men· tioned on the air.?' The radio writer must follow certain schemes; there are no per.sonalities. in this phase of the radio. His job is to write ewrything that comes to him. B:g Money in Radio Writiny "There is big money in radio and success isn't so far awav it you get the riglH place. ·Radio writing is much newer than newswriting and the field is probably bigger," she concluded. "We ~ay to you who are interested in radio writing, write everyth!11~ ---f'' "'rVthing you can."

Sports Chatter
Lincoln high's football team has been well honored at the different towns in which it has played. At St. Joseph, Missouri, the boys were well greeted by the student council of Central high. The g irls wanted to take the team riding, but Mr. Beechne~ wouldn 't give his consent, so the team stayed in the hotel. Wh en the team journeyed to Grand Island, it was greeted there by a host of Lincoln high students. The Central team had a big rally and parade in tribute to homecomi.ng.

coin tiigh he was an aH-state end and has shown much improvement on the varsity squad. Reason for the Grand I sland boys growing beards was t old by Corinne Scott of Grand I sland when she was visiting Lois Becquet after the Nebraska-Indiana game. Corinne said, " It has been a tradition in the Grand Island high school to stop sh aving thei r beards before the first game, and the boys ca nnot shave them off until winning. Some of the boys, however, could not show ow nership of a beard, no matter how hard they tried." Because of the congestion at the east gate of the oval before tt1e Lincoln high football games three iron railings have been put up leading into the oval . These iron rail in gs are detachable so that they w ill not be in the road when there is no need for them. In this the ticket takers will be able to take care of the spectators as they come thus avo iding that awful congestion. During the Creighton Prep reserves and Lincoln reserve game the pupils were forced to use , the north gate because the east gate was unde r construction. A ccording to Coa ch Beechner Don Lovell is failing to make one of his scholastic hurdles and is thus ineligible for Friday's game with Omaha South. J im Johnson and Mark Allen are two more men, who reported for fall track practice.

Drama, Romance, Joy, All Represented In the Mummers Play 'Gra~tark' Lights dimmed and the curtain rose on ''Graustark," a romantic comedy by Grace · Ha;Yward presented by the Mummers, November 4 and 5.

"We don't know how ' lucky we are, a.li mem.,bers Lincoln high;" was the .c onclusion Dorothy Weirich after her recent .trip to Coffeevme,, Kansas, to attend the annual midwest· convention of student coun.cils .in a report given to the .student .c ouncil last Wednesday. · She explained how the Lincoln high .students had so many more privileges than 'several other scho.o ls pointing out particularly a high school in Oklah<>ma City that was allowed no school parties 'of any kind. Lincoln high's governing body is smaller than that of some otller schools whose councils' size is that of the home foom representatives. No other schools had a definite safety progrlllll · outlined such as that fostered by Lincoln , high and in..this respect too, the student body shouid consider themselves, lucky, continued Dor· t>thy. Various committee reports were given by the chairmen and · th~ two new - sophomore members of the council were. assigned to special ' com:ritittees. lt was ' announced .that . the next matinee dance will be held Thursday, November 10, since Friday is Arm.istice day.

Class Holds Gallup Poll Purpose Is to Help Students .Understand Voting Problems A ,;Gallup's Poll'' was conducted Mrs. Grace Hyatt's modern .. problem Claa8es.. --ThTs poff \Vas on · the siv . am~ndmentlt s1fhtt'l'!ttPd t,:. the voters yesterday, Each pupil voted and took two ballots home for the parents to register their opinion. Eighty per cent of these parents responded. Largest vote for or against any of the amendments was cast against the legalizing of slot machines. Seventy-five per cent voted negative. The next largest vote was seventy~three percent who voted to place the state superintendent of public instruction on the board of education lands and building$ in the place made vacant by the abolishing of the office of land commissioner. The power to recall elective officers was favored by sixty-eight per cent of the voters. The fact that the measures of the short ballot and changing the board of pardons received the same number of votes, which was fifty-seven per cent, showed intelligent voting, as one depends on the oll\er. Changing· from the double liability of stock holders in banks seemed to cause most trouble in the minds of the students and parents alike. Only four more voted to retain the double liability; and a fifth of all those voting were too undecided to vote on the question at all. This was done to help students understand voting and how it is done. in

Exhibit Is Shown At Art Club
Tardinesses Decrease Advisers Believe It Is Due to Warm Weather "Early to bed, early to rise" seems to be the motto that some of the Lincoln high pupils have adopted for this semester. Miss Olivia Pound .and o. V\7. Hackman have both rem=ked that the tardy record for the first five '".:een..s or tn1s s emester nas been
less than last year at this time and that the warm weather has been a great help. Few Tardinesses in Five Weeks. During the first five weeks ot school, 203 students have been tardy out of the enrollment of . 2,799. Only 45 girls and 38 senior boys are responsible from the 203 tardinesses. There have been nine girls tardy for the second time and only one . for her third time. Nineteen boys have failed to arrive promptly for their second· time and six for their third time.
Education Week Being Observed "Education for Tomorrow's America" is the national theme for the eighteenth American Educa• tion week, from November 6 to 12.
Discussion of the exhibit from the Kansas City Art Institute, took place' of the speaker who was to have spoken at the Art club meeting last . Thursday. The group roamed about the room looking at the exhibit before the discussion. Tbere was a short business meeting and the constitution of the club was read.
Many Pupils Pass Through Educational Safety Cruiser Visiting at Lincoln High Approximately 2;642 pHsons went through the Educational Safety cruiser during its visit to Lincoln high school last Wednesday, according to the automatic recorder on the exit of the unit. The cruiser, which ·is a large streamline red, white and blµe trailer some forty feet long, is one of four units by which the United States safety council is promoting safety. The unit consists of one room furnished as a hospital ward with four single beds. In these beds are people ' illustrating results from careless accidents. In one bed is a man showing terrible facial disfigurements caused by a bicycle accident. In the , other beds · are victims of various types of accidents. Also painted on the sides of the trailer are numerous safety slogans some of which are, "Children should· be seen, not hurt, " "Spare a minute and save a life," "Be careful and be courteous." Captain H. C. Berry, directw of
Enough courses are offered in Llncoln high to keep a person busy for eighteen years without repeat• ing, was the statement of H. C. Ma rdis, principal, while explain• · ing registration to the sophomores November 1, at the last lOB meet• ing of this semester, preparatory to registration beginning this week and continuing several weeks. Mr. Mardis told of the curriculums offered, requirements for eacll and electives. He stressed the necessity for building a six-semester plan during the first semester. First Time For Sophomores. Registration starts in the home . room today. It will be necessary for the sophomores to plan their full three years of studies for their remainder time in Lincoln high school. They must completely fill out their card and decide what they wish to major. and minor in, The Sel).iors and juniors will have less work in making out reg• !~tr a ti on cards as they have al· ready m a de out the schedule. This is one of the benefits in filling out the schedules during the sophomore year.
the cruiser, explains its purpose by means of a public ~ddress system. Also caring for patients and assisting Captain Berry in the exposition is Mrs. , Rarreck, trained nurse. The object of the cruiser, explained Captain Berry, was to promote safety precautions by showing the actual results of careless. He explained that accidents. merely radio speeches and written articles do not make deep enoug h impressions on the minds of the people and it is only by showing shockfng examples that they will remember the results of carelessness. The four safety .;ruis ers which are traveling throughtout the United States for sixteen months, plan to visit every school and various other places and promote a campa ign. wide spread safety From Lincoln the cruiser proceeds to Omaha and Sioux City, from where it goes . to the fa.r south for t.he winter months.
The daily topics include: Sunday, "Achieving the Golden Rule"; Monday, "Developing Strong Bodies and Able Minds"; Tuesday, "Mastering Skills and Knowledge"; Wednesday, "Attaining Values and Standards"; Thursday, "Accepting New Civic Responsibilities" ; Friday, "Holding Fast to Our Ideals of Freedom" ; and Saturda y, "Gaining Security for All". Each teacher will try to im• press upon the pupils, the value ot an education in every day life. Some teachers will have special work and illustrations pertaining to this idea.
Miller Speaks . At Hi-Y A . L. Miller, head of the Jeru· salem Y. M. C. A., spoke for the Hi-Y boys last night, giving first hand informa tion on conditions in Jerusalem during these days of tension. Mr. Miller, a native of Iowa, undertook the position in 1935, after 19 years in Y. M. C. A. work in India. Traffic violations should be taken every bit a s se,riously as thievery according to .Lieutenant Bennett of the Lincoln Police department, who spoke to Hi-Y last Tuesday. "Eight of the nine . pedestrians killed last year in Lincoln were killed by boys between the ·ages of 18-22," said Lieutenant Bennett, "and one bicyclist. of high. school ag,e was killed also:•

Courses Forming Correct Thought Habits Essential '
Lat in, geometr y, chemist ry, gr ammar. Why d o we have to be drilled in these complex subjects 1 They w ill never be of direct practical use to most of us. There lies the answer t o th~ question. Not direct use in our future lives perhaps. T he educators have recognized this and h ave mixed with our career training courses these other thought training subjects.. In this way are we, students of today, being educated for tomorrow's America.
Unimportant Details Exert Great Influences on Success Seemingly minor d etails of conduct such as tardine8s to ciass, choice of companions and r espect f or those in authority assu me amazing proportions if once placed on a student citizenship record in the school office. It would be well, then, for pupils under these classifications to mend their ways, formost companies of any great importance, make a detailed check on anyone applying for a job. Just recently a fortner student of Lincoln high applied for a job with t he Fidelit y Casua lty company of New Yor~ City, and this. well known company asked for a report on the student. The questions in· the request ed report were: conduct; punctuality; ability ; use o:f intox icants; bad habits ; choice of associ· ates; dishonorable actions ; trustworthiness; and former employment · If more students knew t he pain.s most concerns go to, in order to find t he best type of employee, they would be more careful of t heir conduct and give ntore attention to routine detail.
Sacrifice of 'Doughboys' Demands Good Citizenship " Make the world safe fot d em ocracy " was the war time slogan of America. Twenty years a go the Allied Powe.rs d emonstrated by main stren gth on the battlefield the superiority of d emocracy: · But a victory of arms is not enough. The blood shed in France adds t r emendously to the value of our heritage, but it is only through inteligent exer cise of our civil rights that t his sacrifice can be justified. Only by making ou r countr y a more nearly perfect example of t he b est form of government can we hope to insure th ~ permanen t safety of individual freed om . Are students, as futtire voters, willing to accept this responsibilit y 7
Mazie says, "Remember , kids, just when you begin having a whale of a time you may be stepping into pretty deep water. '' . " Hey; Mazie!

Hal Bosserman was seen hobbling t o class last week with books 11nder ohe artn and a pil· low under the other. The pillow was ur:!ed to make the desk seats more comfortable. It all happened when Hal was riding iµ an auto· mobile and thought the door was ttot com• pletely closed. When h e h ied to close it, unexpectedly t he door opened and out he went.

Young English . Girl Writes of War Scares From an Engllsh correspondent who lives in Liverpool, England, :Marilyn Fulton rec_eived a letter ' Wr)tten Octo.ber 7, 1938. Her letter reads as follows: "You can't realize what this terrible nightmare of war hanging over our heads has been like. J!lv~rybody has had to do special 11.ir-drill and gas mask-drill. We have to know how to make a room gil.s proof, how to detect gas, what sort of gas it is; and. how to treat gas wound11 a.M blisters. We went as far il.8 · having evacuation orders.

Open Forum To the Editor: A potentially dangerou!! organ of sound transmission has dealt itil first blow upon a people of democracy. The victims were that part of our citizenery who in years past have risen from their beds at the cry in the street of "Extra!'' whether It be one, three or five o'clock in the morp.iJig. The' faith which has been placed in the news flashes carried by screeching newsboys has been established, because we have faith in human na,ture, we are willing to take as facts what others see and tell us and the only human beings immune to these flashes are fools who have no faith in mankind, and idiots who have no comprehension of the world around us. On Sunday night · October 31, listeners of Columbia Broadcasting company were informed that a . regular program was being interrupted to carry a news flash of great importance. It I!! unnecessary to deal upon the actual subject matter whicb. followed the announcement ot news flash ! It was nothing more nor less than a dastardly lie under the guise of a factual story. It is true that the program was interrupted several times to fnform the listening public that what Wall be· ing given was a fantasy, but from my own experience and from the experience of those who have given unprejudiced accounts to the newspapers, the first interruption did not come till the crisis passed. In fact even one of our outstand· ing news organs, a Memphis newspaper, made preparations to pub, lish a printed news flash .(Extra) which shows definitely that our newspapers feel that radio is a reliable source of news. We can see and read about the direct results of fear and havoc which this has caused. However the actual and complete results of that program will never be known. Already Senators and Representatives are asking for more strict control of radfo, and whether this proves at private control is in• capable, government control and high governmental censorship will t ake itil place Is a matter of opinion.

To The Editor : A great number of supposedly intelligent Americans believed with<>ut doubt last week th.at Mar· tian monsters had descended· upon the Earth demolishing ali of New Jersey and part of New York. This demoristrates ably the fact that Americ·ans ar.e not as well educated as we are given to under• stand. Persons 'who could credit such an utterly impractical story, in spite of all scientific materiA.l which puts such a notion to naught,, speak ill for the common sense of Amei:J,ca at large. It is an assured fact that the majority of people who were panicked by the Welles' presentation of "War Be· tween Two World's' were the tµl• educated :tnass who, at such a pro· vocation, must give way to hys• teria. Those who have been in• structed in t he fundamentals which science has discovered for all the wotld to see, cannot be in• timidated by anything so far removed from substantiat.ed facts. '];'he 1,1proar ca.used by this pro• gram ts a tribute to Mr. Welles' genius and sheer artistry in presenting realism in the medium of radio. Individuals have suggested stricter censorship of the radio, but it is not radio that is the of• fender, but the undeveloped minds of the masses. If for no .other rea· son, education should be strongly stressed that further panics may not follow the "panic of 1938." ALTHEA WARE.

Suh Deb Styles Soon it will be time to think seriously about your winter coat, whether it's to be new or la!lt year's slightly altered. If you have very broad shoulders, · raglan sleeves and dressrriaket lines would be just the style. P erhaps height is your problem. For the tall girl loose folds In the skirt or the dirndl will be .a gteat help and of course the newest thing. If you wish to use fur on your coat, fur sleeves are smarter than ever before, or the large fur collar is back in style again, however that huge collar of a few years back is not what is to be worn. Now, wha.t should be worn with it? Of course you have a hat. 'the rollar bri:tn hat is very practica.1 and becoming to almost everyone. Beanies in different prlght colors and materials are popular. Perhaps newest are angora hoods and beanies. These come in_e:itcepUonally pretty colors. Matchinlt mitt ens or gloves of the same material can be b0111ght. · Attractive accessories are essential to a girl's costume today. f'urs.es, for in~tance, are very nec~sary; · !!o. why not have an ii.ltract ive one as long as you must carry it ?

Have you ever finished a tMt paper eatly and looked it over to find that you could not read your own writing in some places. Many f . pupils In both Lincoln high and Universities scribble their writing so badly that they either have to retake the tests or fail in them. Irt grade schools where penmanship is taught to some extent, the pupils take their Writing a little more seriously than they db at high schools or universities where little ls said abOut peni:na.hshlp. It is hard enough for a teachet' or an assistant to correct three or four hundred papers; but when they are poorly written it makes it just twice as hard. Poor penmanship does not just affect one in his school life but wouid if Improved, save the U. S. govermnent millions of dollars yearly. Just to show what poor penman· ship and carelessness does: $55,000 in cash is removed annually from misdlrecteci envelopes. $12,000 in . postage stamps alone Is found ln similar fashion. Three million dol· lars in checks, drafts, and money orders never te&ch intended owners just because of poor penmanship and carelessness. Uncle Sam conects·'· ,J92;oocr m· postage for th~ return of malt sent to the Dead Letter Office, but it costs him more than four million dollars yearly to look up addresses in misdirected mail. Just think of the time ancl money you can save your govern· ment.

Round Table Theme Movies Miss Montgomery Talks To the Club About Good Pictures "The average boy sees approxi· mately fifty-four movies a year and the average girl nearly forty· six," was the statement made by Miss Esther Montgomery, English teacher, at the Round table meeting, November 3. Her ituthority on this subject was . Professor Dale ·o! Ohio university. "The two necessary elements for a movie are that it be lifelike and the play not worn out. The present day movie often has a worn out dialogue," was · the criticism given py Miss Montgomery. She urged pupils when attending a movie to notice other things be· sides the plot-such as the pho· tography and backgrounds. Movies thought to be the best in the past year were nominated by members and at the next meeting the best movie will be voted for, after hearing a review on each by the persons nominating them.

Eac,seal!en five plays are produced by the theater and a re presented !or the public in the Wardman Park theater, Two plays which the group g ave, "Yellow Jack/ ' and "One Third of a Nation," have been made into movies. The last two. plays of the season ·were sellouts and received milch comment in the Washington papers. Assi!lting with props for "One Third of a Nation," Ona Beth was impressed by the elaborate set and · the great detail ' used. "Everyone backstage worl:ted strictly on si:hedule and if you were a minute off it was just too bad." Several acfors in the group .had had a great deal of t6rmer stage experience, having joined iitock companies and focal playhouses during the immmer: That several even .depende4 wholly ·u pon acting bit parts . was a point Ona Bet h brought out.

Herbert Schmidt, '14 and Member of the ·SchoiilOfMusic Yaclilty, Visits Europe Herbert Schmidt; '14, in a r(\cent interview recalled some ~f .h is high 11chool days, When Mr. Schmidt graduated from · Lmcoln. high, musical cl~bs w~re just being introduced'. ,.The oz:cltestra consisted o! a very few members and a great deal of m\isicai theory was t a ught. · Mr. Schtnidt gra\iuated from the University School of :Music in 1915 and then werit to New York where he studied in the Institute of Mu~ sical Art under Rudolph Ganz. Three months ·after. he .had graduated, in 1916, war was declared and Mr. Schmidt enlisted in the n avy. Now a membe.r of the faculty .of the Vniversity Schooi of Music, Mr. Schmidt spent U).e whole sumrp.er this year in·· Europe touring England, Norway, Sweden; Den· mark~ Germany, Italy arid Switzer, land. He attended the premiere of Richard Strauss' new opera, "Peace Day," in Munich; Germany. It was ·a gala occasion because R ichard Strauss himself was there and was called to the platform twelve times. '!I had the wonderful experience of visiting Lizst's house In .Wei~ar, Germany, .and pla:ying .on his piano," Mr. Schmidt said; "We.i mar is one of t he moiit picture11que t owns arid does J\(it re1Iect much of the Nazi iriflu~ce. I also saw the birthplace cit Goethe and Schiller there," At Eisenbach ~" Schmidt vis. ited Bach's house ~nd in · Lucern~, S witzerland, he salv the house µ1 which Wagner co~pleted. some ·of
his greatest works as .. "Meistersinger," <some of the Ring cycle and "Tristan and Isoide." A collection of origins.I harpsichords and clairchords at Nuren,burg, Germany, interested Mr. Schmidt. "They are remarkable instru-'· ments to play .on," Mr. Schmidt declar ed. ''The a ction ii! lighter and ver y expressive." When asked about the transpor• tation in foreign countries, Mr. Schmidt excla imed that it was amazing how many people travel on their railroads. "American people wouldn't squawk if they had the · railroad· travel E:urope has. You. have to be at the station at ieast half an h our .before starting t ime. I toured Germany, riding second class, ·for only t wenty dollars. The railroads are owned by t he government , but t he equipment doesn't co.nipare with our modern streamlined trains." According- to Mr. Schmidt, living is cheaper in Europe, except in England; Scandinavia . and Switzerland. Mr. Schmidt took a tour of rural England wit h eight other people. Starting usually about tert In thti morning and driving until tour in the after11obn they traveled 550 :miles in five days. "I do think," Mr. Schmidt c.on~ duded, "that the E uropeans have the capacity to enjoy themselvel! m a simple way. They enjoy being out qt doors, taking hikes bicyciing. The people a:r!! very sociable and easy to get acquainted with."

Tech boy11 before the game, having seen, literally . seen, everything in the l:!uilding, were heard to comment: Looking at G·raustark poster, "Bet ttiat's German for 'Beat Tech.'" Glancing at "Remember me," "The floor sure looks li.ke it or else the janitors have gone .on a- strike." "Stay off my feet, you have your own~" To every girl in the hall, '!See you after the game." "Sure we'll beat-at least we hope so." Asked what they played football for their answer was, "For fun and for. girls." After our victory and having met with the stronger sex, we wanted · to know their op.inlon of the game. Well'· we found out! - Their answer w~s: "Would you really llke to know?"
Thre!l years a,go saw the Links win 25-0 as ROhrig passed to Miller . and Hitchcock for two scotes as a double lateral from Dobson to Hitchcock to Miller netted anot1!-er. · In 1936 the · stellar work of George Binger garnered all the points, as Lincoln won 13-0. Last year "Howie" Debus plunged over from the 2 yar4 line for a 6 to o· vfotory; after an offside penalty, two cracks at the line and a 14 yard gallop · by Metheny had brought the ball that.far.

Ankle injuries seem to be the hoodoo for the footballers this season. No less thari ·three members· of the .starting team have given up their positio.n s because of this jinx. Bob Ogden was the first to lea.ve when he was hurt In a praetice .tussle. Then John Anderson was hurt in the Slou_x : City Central battle. Fred.

The 1908 basketball team wore heavy stockings that reached ·the knees, trunks that almost reached the knees and ill-fitting jerseys. Mascots in ·the pictures include china pigs, dolls and teddy bears. Boys who have reported to Nick Fraricis for basketball are as follows: Tom Rice, Bob Jordan, Dick Gellatly, Bob Johnson, Bob Younkin, Frank Burke and Joe Wise: Others are expected to _report soon. Coa.c h Beechner, and his grid squad, managers and trainer·s were all treated to a meal at the Lindell hotel, Thursday~ October 27, during the teachers convention, by th.e Optimists club of Lincoln. After the meal Beechner gave a short talk on the games up to date, and games c;oming in the future; then .introdu.c ed the Lincoln squad.

Ringers Disturb A Football Practice Pupils who passed the ·handball courts south i>f the addition one receiit Tuesday after school may have been puzzled to see five students sitting around in a Circle ringing hand bells. Each one had a bell, and they rang them one "i.t a time· with even rhythm, appar-· ently producing no melody at all. What was this myslerious music? The answer was· that they were practtcing "grandsire doubles,'; ·a form of change ringing. In change ringing the object is . to sound all possible combinations of the given number of bells according to certain rules. This group; a committee from the $6ciety of E:igh School Bell-~ingers, was perfecting .its technique in playing the ·one hundI'ed twenty possible combination of five belfs. After they can ring the whole peal without errors, they will ring the large bells at St. Paul church. As to why they were on the handball courts- that's another sfory. At first they were in room 326, and when that room was· locked up they went outside and practiced on one end of the stands iii. the oval. aowever, the football team was also practicing arid Mr. Beechner thought that bells and signals didn't mix, so the changeringers moved to the ha.ndball courts.

Red and Black Power AUac1' Nets Three Scores As Passes Deliver One Tally Reversing the usual procedure, the Red and. Black gridders scored three tiines on the ground to . only one ·aerial thrust in sloshing out a 25-0 . victory over a stubborn bmaha Tech · eleven, Friday afternoon before an "L" man da y crowd of 2·,000 in the oval. The field was muddy, but it didn't hamper the Liriks as tney got their · ground attack rolling to score .three times in the first half; The game was barely a minute old when the first score came. Lincoln kicked off to Jones of Tech who got back '9 yards to the 11 yai:d -line. Nisely immediately quick-kicked 23 yards to Hansen who returned 4 yards to the Maroon 28. King gained nothing at the line arid then on the third play of the game Howard Debus swept off right tackle 28 yards to the promised litnd behind perfect blocking without a hand being laid ·on him. His attempted conversion was fow. Hansen Goes 53 to Score. Debus kicked off again to Jones who rambled back 22 yards to the 28 . .Two li~e bucks gaining no th• ing, Tech kicked tq its own 47 yard line. Lincoln cou.l dn't do anything so kicked back. After Tech had punted back Ha.nsen took ihe ball 011 the fir'st play, dashed through t_h~ right side and then cut away .f rom . his interference to scamper ·53 yards ·again without a hand beirig Iii.id on him. Debus' conversion was a ga in 1ow, ·making the score read ·Lincoln 12, Tech 0. !n the second ·quarter, after a Lincoln march had been halted on the Maroon. 19 . when "E.uddy" King's piunge for afirst do\sfn was inches short, Quarterback Jones of Tech elected to pass. Joe Partington in the. Lincoln seccmdarjr,. however, made .the. catch and romped to the Tecti · 12. Ori ~ first play :Hansen· swung through the middle for the score. He addec! the conversion by dii:shing ..around erid. .T he half ended with the reserves holding Tech even, the score being 19-0. The third quarter · started with T~ch doing .a little aerial work and . it was one of these flips that "Bud" King int ercepted · on the Maroon 29 yard line. Keszler · Scores · on Pass. Metheny· got 6 yardii at the line and then King passed to Debus for a first down on the T.ich 15. Metheny got 2 and King 4 at left guard. Ha nsen squeezed through for 3 at. left tackle and .then King· :made . it a first dow:n on the 4. He lost- 2 yards on the next two tries but on the third down Hansen flipped a basketball ·pass to "Mel" Keszler who scored unmolested. Hansen's pass for the extra point 1was blocked by Mesely ending the scoring, and making it read, pncoln ·25, Tech O. The second stringers took over at the start the fourth period and it was then that Tech made its only offensive advances, rolling up three first downs. The Maroons failed to get into Lincoln territory, however, until the last play of the game when Niseley galloped 32 yards to the Links 29. The gun cracked while he was enroute and that was that. Despite the pool' field conditions, the whole Lincoln team per· formed , brilliantly. The line . play was vastly improved over last week's performance with Irick, Baohman and Partingt on· turning in brilliant play. As usual, Debus and Metheny were top hands in the backfield with Hansen and "Bud" King gainirig plaudit s for their excellent performance~. Gilbert Baker, ·Maroon captain, was easily the outstanding Tech player, while ·Leo Samson and Bob Bussing were also good in the line. Dii::k Nisley was the best Maroon back. The summary:

Mimes To Present Shakespeare The Mimes will pr esent a playlet in four scenes from " A Midsummer Night's Dream," at the assemblies which are to be held November 22 and 23. November 22 and 23. The s ketch is• "The Lamenta ble Comedy of ' pyramus and Thisbe." The scene of the play is in ancient Greece, before the dawn of history._ Theseus is a hero of Gr eek my'thology and a contemporary of Hercules. He is marrying th_e queen of the Amazons, and a play for the revels at his wedding ha~been prepared by the common working men of Athens. Each <if ·the players is inaccu rate, arid rough in memorizing. This contributes a good share to the confusion of the comedy. The play goes throug h amazing adventures. Shakespeare brings together irt a single play such a diverse set of characters from the Greek myths, fairies, cla~ical Grecians, and th~ hard handed men of Athens. This pla ylet h as been a never-ending source of wonde r a nd delight to most critics.

Holidays Have Greater Significance Than Vacation
With the Armistice day celebration just passed, the question arises whether we, as Y.oung people, fully appreciate the true signi· f1cance of thel'!e special days on the calendar• . In the past it has been significant to us be/ cause it meant .vacation from school( extra good things to eat, and various recreational activities. It is time,. however; 'that we recognize the ti'~e significance of these days. They are set aside to commemorate the lives of great men great ideals .9r epoch making events in ou~ national history. We should not stand and watch the parade go by in the spirit of ''I love a pared," but rather, enter into their deeper significance. By so doing, we will gain a greater appreciation of American ideals and increase our patriotism. It is only by a proper appreciation of our traditions of the past that we may develop the quality of citizenship which will enable us to carry them on to a 11:lorious future.

Ask Intelligent Questions About Current World Problems to Prevent War Asking intelligent questions about current world problems is the part for high school students in pre• venting war, declared, Paul Harris, , staff member of the .National Council for the Prevention of War, in an interview recently. Mr. Harris was ·in Lincoln to help bring together many local" ·peace organizations into a state peace council. "T.he high school student learns in his studies about better education, federal housing, adult. education, and other things the govern· ment is doing. They can make mi'stakes in housing or education and correct them, b.ut if they make a mistake in getting peace, it means war, and we won't have a .chance If war comes," com· mented Mr. Harris. . The future of high school students , depends on the i:>revention of war, not only ;~cause they might get killed or injured if war came, but for their job security as well. When asked what high school students cari do to help :prevent war, Mr. Harris said that they should ask questions of adults, which wciuld stimulate thinking on their pa,rt. He should ask his parents, "How are . you going to vote at . , the next election? What is your candidate going to ·!lo about the prevention of war ? He should ask his minister, not if he is op• · posed to war, but what his church did at its last national_convention to .promote · peace." • Hi-Y Works for Peace. He explained what the Hi- Y is doing in New York. He has spoken at several meetings of Hi-Y leaders and they have organized a peace ·action program. Before the election they have had committees write to their con.r;l'.'essional candidates and' said ; L, their letter, , "We aren't voter~ .yet, but, our j'

the book ''On ._.M y Own," by Mary .Lamar Knight. In this book Miss Knight tells of her life and adven· tures as the only woman staff cor· rspondeni: for the United Press. For five years M~ss Knight was a working reporter In Paris, China, Japan, the United States, and dur~ Ing those. years she covered a procession of people and events such . as seldom falls to' the lot of any journalist. She was born a quiet southern girl and was in no way prepared for the life of a "news hound." A gay and exciting tale is told of how :Miss Knight changes herself into an outstandingly successful re- · porter. She was always interested in people and their · ways; She was a very sympathetic and" understanding young lady and therefore she was able to secure interviews with glamorous and powerful fig• ures passing through Paris who were news at , that . moment. She had ,many failures and also many successes. Another new book on journalism that would be of ' special interest to the boys is "Waterfront Beat" by Howard M. Brier. Mr. Brier uses as his main · charaQter Tim Squire; a young .reRorter. Tlm worked 'far the Morning Tribune of Everson, lumber mill city on Puget Sound where he was only a copy boy. His chief desire . was to rise to the positiOn of a reporter. His chance came when he got an exclusive story . .for his newspaper on the_powder plant ex~ pfosion .a nd he was boosted to the rank of a reporter. The city editor assigned him to the waterfront beat. On sever~ occasions he almost failed and there were times when his faith in journalism almost deserted him, but he kept on with his worlt, and with the help of Bill Parker, Everson's only aviator, he ferreted out story after story.

Twenty l"ears Ago Just 20 years ago Lincoln high celebrated the return of peace in an assembly and ·parade.. Never before had there been a parade- of such glamor, for the students sang the "Star Spangled .Banner~" and "Over There," with such zeal that all celebrating stopped until the songs were finished.

If they get no reply, or receive a form letter, they write again and repeat their question. They tell him that his answer will reach many homes through the school ·papers. After election they will write a letter saying, "Congratulations on your election. Now .what are you going ·to do about ,peace action?." They are asking au boys and girls throughout the state to write to their representatives, not to tell him what to do, but to ask him. Schools Should Study Problem. "The students should ask their prinCipal for , assemblies about peace action," Mr. Harris continued: "They should ask him to set asi:Ge one day in which each teacher would use his hour in explaining the connection between · that subject and international peace." Mr. Harris spoke at Llncoln high school .this spring, during th~ period when the war referendum · was being ·discussed. When he was asked about the referendum, he predicted that there would at least be a "big fight" over it the next time it comes up in congress. "The amusing thing about that," · he added, "is that if a congress· man is apposed to the referendum, he is saying that he thinks the people are dumber than he is; and then in the n~xt breath he asks them to vote for him.'' "The thing ·to remember," he . concluded, "Is that Munich prevented a war without creating a peace. It left the situation in such a way. that the· future may be molded either toward war or toward peace. The United States holds a decisive position in this question."

-Students warned Aga·inst Hooking Street Cars "Hooking" rides on street cars is a practice that high school boys , have been guilty of recently. Grade .school children are rarely found risking their lives in this most dangerous fashfon for they realize how unsafe "hopping" a ride can be. · However, high school· ers either because they feel "grown up" or because they sometimes forget the elementary rules of safety "hook" a ride. It need · not be pointed out to boys artd girls of average intelli- . gence why this practice must stop! If not for the hazard. this presents to car drivers the danger of breaking . one's own arm or leg m.u st be taken into consideration by the off enders. 6f course nothing can be said for those who hook rides merely for the sport, to be c~ever or to save a dime. Is it sport to be horribly scarred for life? Is it clever to do\ something not original, not safe and with an unappreciative audience as onlookers? And is your life worth only a dime? Are YOU an offender? If so, hesitate before you hop the next ride to town for you can evade the school safety committee, but you CAN'T EVADE THE LAW. GEORG~ BLACKSTONE, Chairman, Safety. Committee.

To the Editor: A serious problem concerning the .enjoyment of Lincoln high students, faces not only the stu• dents, but also the school faculty. My q'Jfstion is the same one that · many others are asking, "Why doesn't Lincoln, in their produc• tion of plays, either carefully select a suitable play for high school pupils, pr allow the cast. to act its parts with the proper feeling .and gesture?" · It is not a new question, but a. very old one which continue& to arise after each school productfon. It has been proved by th3ae pro• ductions which have been classed as having romantic plots, that the students do not accept the plays in the correct manner, but. instead with scorn, ·and ridicule. ·, I deeply sympathize with those of the cast who must put up with this and in the meantime act .their part wholeheartedly. Certainly, by a more extensive search ·and more cooperation on the part of the teachers and pupils, a play could be . secured which would be enjoyed a great deal more by . both the audience and cast. · For the past two years Dr. Wieman has spoken at Lincoln high. One point which she streslled was that of omitting all actions connected ' with kissing and em· bracing on the part of students in the cast. In my opinion there are many different types ·of plays which would fit this situation better, for instance a comedy. But triust · Lincoln high always remain behind othe~. schools in their productions? Many schools are more advanced, giving ni.uch time and thought to the works of Shakespeare and other notable playwrights. Many of his plays, espe~ally "Macbeth" and "The Twelfth Night," would be enjoyed immen11ely by the audience.
"Kick-Back" Hurls Building into Darkness Dar"knellll, which came, over the school building during open house, . was c~used . by a ,;kick-back" ot the meter, according to Edwio Geistlinger, ·head custodian. Over• loading oh the line , connecting all the lights of the building with each other caused a trigger .on the face of the meter to k ickout. Open House is orie of the few C?ccasions wJ:iich calls for the use of all the lights at one time and the trigger couldn't stand the tr... . mendous force. The meter is automatic and the trigger replaces the ·use of fuses. Mr. Geistlinger had been wa\ch· ing the meter at different foter• vals for such a disturbance and was in the room when the leve.r "kicked." · He was working in darkness trying to put the trigger bacl~ in place and flickers of light occurr ed when the trigger touched the con• neetion. Another custo'dian came to the basement in a few minute• with a flashlight so Mr. Geist• llnger could· hold the trigger down while it was tied in place. The building was in darkness for only a few minutes.. In t he 8wiinming pool, · exhibi· tion~ were going on . and it was feared that someone might fall in the . pool . before all the spectators .could be led away from it. Howeve.r , in the chemistry lab• oratory, experiments were being made that furnished light in them• selves· so it wasn't b.ard to se_e. This was hot the first time that the lights have gone out in the building. In previous occasion• when all the lights were being used at once the load was .too heavy for the trigger to stand and it "kicked."

The coliseum is large enough but the · cost is $300 an evening. . A prom for j)Jniors is entirely up to the initiative. of the Class officers and sponsors and approval of the faculty. Such a prom would have to be informal so that. more students oould come. It could be held any time before or after the formal · season whleh lasts from December to March. All class-sponsored parties are neces· sarily informal to make everyone feel that he can afford to go, A party for the seniors in the fall is also approve~! by Mr. Mardis. It would be informal, which means.having it at the st art ot the football season.

"Comes now the plaintiff; Rob· ert s. Gaddis, and for a cause of action agairut the school district of the city of Lincoln, F. J. Gould & Co., et al; alleges--" What is all t_h is about? It is a part of the legal proceedings which in 1912 almost ptevented ' the building of the \resent Lincoln high school .building at least as . planned in tlie original contract. Many Lincoln taxpayers felt that unwarranted expenditures were being made, that the present building was .planned to accommodate a far greater number of students than would ever . be necessary, and that it was located much too far out on -'Che. edge of town. Robert J. Ga?dis, probably acting for a .group of citizens, says to enjoin (that is, to prevent) .t he board of education froni carrying out a, contract for the erection of this and. twci" other school build· . ings, The schobl board declared that
the buildings were needed for im• mediate use since the schools were so crowded that the store buildings and the basements had to be pressed into service. Half day ses• sions were prevalent in the lower grades and many of the buildings were unsanitary, poorly lighted, and had no system of ventilation. Since they had a t tempted in good faith 'to carry out the purpose for which the bonds were voted, they felt that there was no reason for· their not adopting a "pay as you go" system to fulfill the immediate needs of the city. . The district court of Lancaster county, before whom the case was tried, ruled for the taxpayers and issued the injunction. The board immediately appealed to the Supreme Court of Nebraska, and on December 24, 1912, they . handed down their decision, reversing that of the district court. Lincoln high was their Christmas gift to the pupils then ,and the generation of pupils to come.

Chappell Discusses War to End..Wars In Assembly How American soldiers fought a war to end wars· and to make the world safe for democracy was the point brought out by Judge E. C. Chappell, judge of the dist rict court and member of the American Legion, at ·the "B" assembly, · Armistice day, in relating some of the experiences of· war. When the call came for men, everything was left behind, their jobs, their homes and all they owned. After the war was over, there were widows, orphans and many crippled soldiers, he said, that had to be taken care of, which is one purpose of the American Legion. "As lo_ng as veterans of this war remain there will be need for service. 'fhe Veterans hospital was built to take care of the wounded soldiers when they returned and every one should visit it." Sacrifices Made for Sold'lers. To take care of the many soldiers that enlisted, food and clothing was needed. · The people at home sacrificed their needs in order to give this to the men. "This is just as much a part of war as the ships and ammunition and guns are," he explained. In enlisting no distinction of race or creed was given in the American army. When the sol- • diers came home they appreciated the constitutional rights, free speech and press, the right to petition the government and the right to trial by jury. American citizen• ship is a privilege and not a right, and it belongs to everyone. American Education Bed. · Judge Chappell said . the American system gives greater opportunity than any other cpuntry. "Let it grow and develop and be better than it has ever been before. Ed'ucation, wealth, applied science, and so forth have made the greatest nation of the world ..'' "Set yourseif to the task of ·proving that the heroic sacrifices of the soldiers were n.ot made for an enemy cause," he concluded. Prof. Oscar Bennett, of the Nebraska Wesleyan, opened the assembly, singing three numbers: "The Crucible," "When the ·King 'Went Forth to Wa.r" and "'.['he Drum Major." He was accompa11i etl -lily-Mrs. Bennett.-

Only two games stand . between the Beech. nerites and · an undefeated season · and the state crown. King Plunges Over.
Lincoln struck early in the first period to score ·in the first . six minutes. A poor punt by Weekes was returned to the' Central 44 by Debus. A third down pass from Debus to Jackson netted 21 yards and on ·the . next play Fred Me· theny raced around left end for • a 13 yaz:d gain placing the ball on the 9. Debus split the Central wall for 8 and the!l Bud King waltzed over for the score. The· attempted conversion was blocked by Pomi· · dero. The · only Central threat came · when after the succeeding kickoff, Ernie Weekes broke loose on an off tackle play to gallop 39 yards to · the Lincoln 34. Only a diving tackle from behind by Metheny kept him from the score. · The threat was halted · when three· line plays and an incomplete -pass picked up only 4 yards. ,Near the end of the first half the Beechnerites threatened when a pass from Debus to "Red" Hansen netted :is yards and an end . run · by Metheny gained 19 more to the Central 16.

Bud King. made 5 thrqugh center; followed by Metheny who ,picked up 1. Debus slashed off tackle for 11 yards. and first- down. However a 15 yard penalty forced tl:i.e Links · back, but lindaunted Debus faded . back, took aim and flipped a lo!lg aerial which "Red" Hansen took on the dead run and galloped over for the last score. On a fake place kick, Hansen added the extra point by . squirming thru the ·middle of the line. The score finaliy reading Lincoln 19, Central 0.

Harry Johnson Favors Night Footbal,l Very much in favor of night• football is Harry Johnson, sports commentator for the Central States Broadcasting system and local sports auth]¥'iiy, who said. it would, in his o~juon, bring pros· perity to the L.

Many Lincoln Students, Faculty, -Alumnae· Attend Championship Game in Omaha Around . 700 Lincoln pupils, fa. culty and alumni attended the championship game between· Oma· ha Central and Lincoln in the Tech oval, Friday. The Peppers and band, in all · their glory, were . among those present. The band arriving late caused the Links fans a littlfl wor· ry for fear their bus had been delayed for some reason. The Lincoln musicians made up for their tar.di· ness, howE:ver, at the half when they proudly displayed their music and twirling talent. Cars passing the Pepper bus no doubt noticed the lipstick which had taken the place of chalk to decorate the exterior and remind the Centraliami of our determination to win. The bus driver proved to be a reg,ular fellow when the girls finally won a smile from him when they "game him" a special cheer. At the outskirts of Omaha,

Drinking and smoking have a , direct effect on cr.ime _according to the opinion of D. ·Roy' Clark, . superintendent pf the Bureau of Identification Qf Nebraska.

"In the last. twenty years automobiles have increased juvenile delinquency· more than any other form of misdemeanor," stated M.r . Clark.

Lebsack Runs 55 Yards.
Second and third quarters were mostly a punting and passing du.el between Weygint ·and Murray with no score for either team. Llncoln, started the fireworks · early in the fou.rth quarter, when it took the ball from Fremont's 48 to its rs. Lebsack then skirted the right end for a touchdown. The extra point was good as . Fox passed to Harry Blum. In less than three minutes later, Lebsack again swept the right end on a brilliant 55 yard run for the fourth tally_. After Lincoln kicked off, Mur· - ray brought the l:!all back to his own 10 yard line. On the' next play Keeley intercepted a Fremont pass and after he was downed on the 10 yard lihe, plunges by Fox; and Schmidt put the ball on the 4. The next' play, Fox broke off his' own right tackle to score. Bill Pierson finished up the scoring with a brilliant 65 yard run behind perfect blocking. West, Weiderspan, and Gillespie stood out in the line while Wey· gint, Jones, Lebsack and Vaughan stood out in the backfield. Game Captain Keller, Lowell and Chupp · starr.ed for the losers.

Girls Set Record; None Tardy One Day Girls may be the weaker sex, but certainly they are not the least punctual. Boys were responsible for all tardiness made November 11. According to Miss Olivia Pound, girls set a rather unusual record that day by not having any tardiness. Boys usually manage to arrive several minutes early for "dates" so they can tease the girls because they have to wait on them. Why then, can't they arrive at school a few mrnutes early?

She believes the trend in dealing with the attendance program, is toward handling it as a socia l problem. Therefore the modern truant officer is very likely to be trained in social service. In the morning, Miss Weatherby talks over attendance problems • with the dean of boys and dean of girls. In the afternoons she visits homes wheer the pupil has been absent from school frequently. Miss Weatherby has found that lack of fil)an ces and t rouble in the family, besides the lt<gitimate absences due to illnesses, ar e the , chief r easons for absences.

Like hearts, clocks differ; some tick off life with a steady strong beat, others have a "murmur," and s t ill ot hers skip a beat now and then. Has Exciting Experiences. "I have man y exciting experiences in getting my things," she went on, "such as climbing to t he very top of a grainery through walls of spider webs t o get an old spinning wheel that was there; even though I already had four of them." Exploring in an old house which hadn't been entered for more than thir teen years, Mrs. Bize found carcasses of m eat s t ill strung across' the kitchen and a layer of b utter s till in the old butter dish left on the t able. Thus it is not only her life that is bound up with all these precious things with which she has surrounded herself, but the lives of scores of others who still live iq. and t hrough them, as long as t hey are preserved.

Senior and Class Colors Symbolize Pupils' Ideals Real spirit was shown by the class of '39 in the senior color day. Proudly they dis· played their colors, presented their program and marched from the auditorium. / 1Schoo] and class colors have greater si"'nificance than ordinary colors. They have "'a meaning. The Red and Black of Lincoln high school symbolize all the ideals and purposes of this particular institution. They carry over from year to year because the school tries to impress upon each succeeding generation of students ideals of citizenship and character. The Rose and Blue of the present senior class stai1d for the ideals that the part1eular group of students has formulated. The seniors are to be congratulated for being seniors. The diploma doesn't mean much except that it symbolizes the perseverance of an individual to achieve a goal. So nrnny times it would he ea sier to give up and take ;1 job seemingly more profitable at the time, leaving behind us an unfinished task. · ·1 ue

Bette Hudkins: "My mother always says to come home early." Joe 'Vise : ''As long as you wa.nt to.'' Lucille Obbink: "It all depends on whom you are with. " Bob Marcotte: "As late as you can get a way with.'' Don Desch : ''As long as you can and still have fun." Maryalice Martin: "It depends on where you are going.'' Bob Baker: "It's against my principles to say.' ' Margaret Koupal : ''It's up to every person to deeide that for himself.'' ' Dorothy Rea : ''In time to bring the milk in." Frank Burke was causing lots of commotion the other. day; the commotion· was over Barbara Hodgman. Things have been going "Bradley" for Dorothy Weirich lately. Life is just one beautiful song for Gavin Pemberton, as long as Mildred Claire Frederick is sing ing it. If Jean' Minni ck seems to beam, it's because of a brilliant " Ray" of light surro1tnding her of late. J\faizie: "Have you noticed how girls will sit down and talk it over man to ma n?'

undertaking is completed is hnrd to erase. Some arc forced to leave school and forfeit the opportunities only an education can give. But many fall out because of a lack of will power or realization of the true worth of their chance. So the seniors are to be commended for the progress they have made and their colors are to be respected because th ey stand for attainment of a goal.
T hought~ulness Needed Fora Friendlier School "You 're just . a bunch of snobs." That's how a good many of the newcomers to J,incoln and to Lincoln high school feel to>'rnrd the student body as a whole. False accusation? Maybe, . but at least everyone must '.1dmit that as a rule Lincoln high school pupils are for the most part concerned with their own s~ecial friends and interests, and are exceedmgly . thoughtless in regard to the happiness of strangers. The faculty ·and student governing bodies are becoming aware of this problem and are now beginning to do something about it. Special aetivities have taken place this semester with the idea of making the new pupils more familiar with other students. However the ,faet still remains that .the average Lincoln high school student doesn 't go far out of his way to make things more pleasant for the average new Lincolnite. It is true that the high school is big, that no one gets much special attention, but does everyone realize that there are nearly a h~m dreli pupils new to the city who are att~ndmg Lincoln high sehool. 'l'his means that m the average class th ere is one new person. So, while no single student can meet all new ones, if each one would make himself pe1·sonally responsible for those in his own classes the feeling of being on the outside could be largely eliminated. While helping som e one else to become adjusted to a new environmen~ he • could help himself by widening his own circle of acquaintances.
Stanley (Stan) .Allen who has dancing and thinking up new dance steps as his hobby will present his ideas to the high school public this . week. He likes a girl to be witty, attractive, , but not beautiful, a good dancer, to dress nicely; she must have natural color hair and she mustn't double cross people. He admires boys who have pleasing personalities, are good "mixers, " nice-looking, friendly, and full of vim. Since Stan is new to Lincoln high this -semester he has joined the Hi-Y and Mummers, and played the leading role in the Mummers ;pl ay this semester. He likes the students in Lincoln high school very much but wishes there. were wider stairways and wishes school would start at nine. His favorite sports are riding, golf, and sailing. He has no favorite subject and hopes some clay to be an an;hitect· The song, "My Reverie," played by Tommy Dorsey's orchestra, is most app ealing to him. When he reads he prefers mystery stories by S. S. VanDine.
WHAT J.F. Jack Zimmer were 5 foot 3 inches tall. Agnes Dunbar were a brunette. Pat Miller wasn't seen with Mary Ellen McCraeken. Anne Kinder had a date with any boy other than Willard Mertz. J ack .Anderson sang soprano· Janet Moon wasn't extremely interested in football, or at least a certain "Bus' 'y boy who plays the game. Miss Jane Schaible, to third period class: "Does anyone know why Ireland is never in debt 7" Class looks doubtful. Miss Sehaible : "Beeause its capital is always Dublin.''
Thanksgiving Provides Chance to Get Caught Up .Five days. Are they to be two days to kill, or should they be a chance to get caught up with all the things the press of studies and activities have foreed into postponement ~ Some time, of cours e, should be given to ·having a good time or getting in some of that back sleep, but the release from school needn 't mean that it should be "filled with sound and fury , signifying with nothing. '' . Thanksgiving has after all a deeper meaning than turkey and dressing, and if there is nothing to show for these two days, that is proof of the Jack of ability of students to appreciate their opportunities··

To the Editor: It seems that Lincoln l:!igh's school spirit is like Mark Twain's weather-everybody talks about it, but nobody does anything about it. I've read letters to Open Forum a bout it, and I've heard lots of people .talking about it, without read· ing or hearing a single practical idea advanced. Here are some ac· tions which other high schools have successfully taken. 1. Have night football gameswhen the older people who will come make the ~rowds larger; then the students will also come in larger numbers, if only to see why so many people . come. · 2. With the extra money brought in from such games · with larger attendance, buy new ·uniforms for the band. The ones they have now make them look like a Salvation Army band. 3. Lower the price of Lincoln's football games-no high school game, however good,· is worth fifty cents to a disinterested spectator. 4. Charter a bus to take students to out-of-town games-the cost of chartering the . bus . could be divided among the students Who go; the more students, Jpe lower the price. Many pupils have already expressed their desire to have such a thing done. 5. Hold pep-parades ending with a bonfire and organized cheering just before the . game-the trouble with Lincoln high is, that, in reference to such action:;;, the high school sits back aita says, "Oh, well, that stuff is just for the Uni· versity anyway." Sucl,l a ctiifeatist attitude is not to be tolerated or condoned; there is room in Linroln for both a university and a high school. · 6. Have a large student cheer: ing section, of which the Peppers and a corresponding club among the boys, would be the hono.rary members-such a body could march between the halves, and do card work, and be the mainstay of the cheering. The only membership requirements would be an activity ticket, grades up to the school ae.tivity eligibility standard, an.a an unlimited enthusiasm for the school. 7. Have cheerniii:ders elected by the student ' body~a.!l;er they try outJw, . l)J~ .§t.'!l'Thit iJ:rii:-sv.1li11, g-e.· out and does thlngS: Its students will support it, because they can point with pride artd say "My school did that." Jayne Lynn.
To the Editor: "Graustark" was in a way, an experimeht, a departure from the average run of plays. I am not . writing this to set off the merits of the play, but, nevertheless, in all fairness to the cast, ,.to the sponsors and to the Mummers. themseslves, · I think a word of explanation is proper. Granted th&t this. was a melodrama ,not whole-heartedly received by all of the audience, it still was a welcome change from the typical "family problem" plays of the past. It was this rat'ier worn out pattern that the Mtmmers hoped to avoid. As the drtmatic organization of Lincoln hiih it was willing at the expense : d . its previous reputation, to pioteer in the field of different plays lv·giving "Graustark" which ha!j been. played with much success /l!iewhere. Perhaps those w\o· are the first to criticize are thehtst to realize how few good pla~ there really are. Copy upon co•y is read and turned down by th sponsors because of tritenes; vulgarity, a "Pollyanna" tone, o an Inane plot. On behalf of the ·:Munmers, I ask a fair trial. We wilbe more than glad to receive al! constructive criticisms you mayhave to offer. The Mummers try ,o please .t heir audiences and at th same time put on plays of dramac value . .Only by experiment and,n open minded and helpful attitud on the part of 1:he audience can ~ccessful plays be produced in th• future. Presidenbf Mummers. To the Editor: Why don't we h1e a place in the school where pupi can study after school? Of cou:e there's the library, but that oses up at four o'clock, when :n about half through with mytudying, if I do it there. I used ) study at the library sometime last semester, but soon gave ; up because I . would have to takmy books home anyway, to finish1y .work. Why couldn't ~ room be left open for those wl want to study after four o'clocl It wouldn't need to be su:rvised becii:use those who nee. an overseer wouldn't be there. How about ghg the plan a trial to see how miy pupils are interested? Grge Werner.

Seniors Give An Excellent.Performance At Their Annual, Senior Assembly Five bells to the seniors for their excellent performance given November 16 for the commemoration of the annual senior class color day; The show was opened by Kath· ryn Park, who played a .piano solo, "Alexander's Ragtime Band." Humorous entertainment was provided for by a group of five . boys representing an old time German band. Gene Bradley, after disturbing the auditions three times, was fin· ally disposed of by Charles Elliott, a skater, who swung him around until he was unable to Walk. The girls' octet sang three numbers, "Kiss Me Again", "Sweetheart" and "When a Maid Come!! Knocking at Your Heart." A quartette of boys from the choir sang "Stout Hearted Men." Dorothy Weirich and Jack Anderson made a very becoming couple as they . sang "Come To The Fair." Portraying the role of a dumbdora was Martha Ann Reed, who managed to slip in several clever jokes.

It stated that the first summer of enrollment is "spent in practical instruction · of infantry and sea- · manship with the constant purpose in mind of indoctrinating into us the 'Naval Spirit'." The academy year begins Sep· tem ber 26 and after the first six weeks three-hour examinations in every subject are given bi-montbly.

Suh Deb Styles SUEDE, from heacf to toe, Is one of. the most striking fashion notes. It is chic to wear a suede hat, blouse, skirt, jacket, shoes, purse. and gloves all at once. Suede is featured in many soft warm colors and various color combinations can be made which would be pleasing to anybody's eyes. A few of these colors are made ·so very de· sirable by their enchanting names such as: Spanish Tile, Desert Tan, Redwood Brown, Mission Pink and Cactus Green. This head to toe idea see.ms to predominate this fall. The color in your outfit should not change or e.ven be contrasting if you want to be ultra smart. Your hat, purse, gloves, shoes, dress, lipstick and even nail polish should be perfectly matched. This subject of nailpblish, by the way is most fascinating. Some believe that the brighter shades are. not for school: however, this may · not .be the opinion of all. Anyone will admit that nails which are uncared fcir haven't a fair chance with bright polish. On the other hand, well cared for nails are' just that much more stunning when covered with bright polish. There are so many shades to pick from. The newest have a purple tinge and are rosy which is very convenient because such shades go with practically all new colors. Other colors of nail polish have an orange or brown base. Such shades are more preferable for summer, but are nice with brown and rust. Of course natural and ·c lear polish is always becoming, practical and attractive.
Three Advocates,· from the fall of 1919 were . presented to the school last week by LeRoy Luers. He found them in the attic of his home. The papers are yelloJ.ed with age.

Pet Possessions Have Human Names "Josephine, come here! I'm in mother's room," or "come Oscar, I want to wear you this morning" are samples of what some girls would call as they get ready for school if their pins and hand· kerchief rine-s could hear and walk. They can't hear and they can't walk, ·but the girls name them anyway. "Pete" is Maxine Earley's spider pin. If "Pete" c.o uld use his long legs, he'd get to her in a hurry. "Petunia," no, not a flower, but the name of a . little dog pin, be· longs to Lillian Hegel. The name ' "Johann Joshua Jones," (pronounced Yohann Yoshua Yones,) belongs to a romantic looking African savage with a ring through his nose. "Johann," just a pin, is owned ·by Maxine Laverty. "Allebelle" is the name of a sweet little doll pin from Switzerland of which Margaret Lucile Helms is the owner. One handkerchief ring that res.em bles a cow's head bears the name of "Oscar Arbogast;" Other pins and their names are uRomeo;" a Negro; "Silver," a horse; and "Lone Ranger," the rider. Three ducks on one pin are "Papa," "Donald" and "Donald jr." respectively. Girls, name your pins and when the earth is under some magical power, they will come at yuur command.

Alumni Meet With Forum Club Has Former Links At Special Meeting Wednesday I When the Forum meets again in 1940 at its annU1tl alumni meeting, answers to fifteen questions now unanswerable on politics, foreign affairs and football will be given and a prize is in store for the highest scorer. These questions were given by Robert Alberty, vice president of the Forum at the evening meeting last Wednesday and the forty persons present wrote what they think the answers will be. With one charter member, Dr. Carl Henkleman, and a number of past presidents among the guests, the meeting was opened by the president, Richard Arnold. Minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, Donald Meyer, and formality was dispensed with, as the fun began. A debate of . hilarious nature took place between Paul Bogen, '32, and George Pill~rs, '32, on the question of government control of railroads. Clary Tells of His Gold Mines. Next debate between Ernest Clary, '24, and Jerrold Kohn, '24;, ·on "Why Cats Leave Home." This rebate however, · "fizzled out'' and Mr. Clary spoke on his gold mines in California and his. trip to Alaska. "Learn to cooperate with your fellow men," stated Mr. Clary. ''That's what I had to do." Mr. Clary, who has a job as an engineer, stated that the Forum in his day was the most active in the school. The club then had a period of parliamentary drill; with Miss Eunice Werner and D6nald D; White holding the gavel. Donald was impeached by the work of some young city attorneys had carefully planned a case against him. Mis_s Jean Simmons in accompaniment of her mother played two ·flute solos.

"What does it pay to be honest?" was the topic of the Rev. Edmund F. Miller, pastor of First Presbyterian church, in commemoration of Father and Son week at the banquet held for Hi-Y boys. and their fathers, last Tuesday. "If we can measure up to the ex· pectations of our parents and friends," said the Rev. Mr. Miller, "we won't e'n d up crying for the good heritages that we h ave had and which have got away from
us." A person gets a certain satisfaction if he Jives a clean, wholes ome life.

Platte tomorrow afternoon. The victor will probably be acclaimed mythical state champion as neither team has tasted the tang of de.feat although the Platters were tied by Gothenburg. However, Gothenburg tied Cozad whom the Bull-Dogs walloped last week 50-0. Since 1923 the teams have met four times with the Red and Black gridsters winning every time. In 1923 the score was 54-7, Lincoln's favor, while in 1925 the margin was nearly as great, the count being 47-7. The scores have been lower since then, for in 1932 it was 18-0 Lincoln and in 1933 it was Lincoln 20, North Platte 7. The Bull-Dogs have rolled up an impressive record this fall, winning 8 games, tying one and dropping none. Nort-h P18.tte 0:8, Cambridge. o.

Eagle Downed By 37-0 Count First Half Attack Nets 31 Points as Only One Score Made in Last
On the trip to Falls City last week a near casualty was averted. It was just before the teaf.1 arrived in Nebraska City for lunch when Coach Beechner remembered that the towels had been forgotten. Falls City doesn't supply any. However a quick call from the next town secured the necessary linen as Mr. King brought them with him. It is just a lucky thing that he follows all the games or the gridders would have had just to stand and evaporate. An annual contest in boxing held by the Lincoln and Omaha Y. M. C.

forming ·his own with Doris Humphrey. Both Miss Helen Wilson and Miss Dana remember him as full of enthusiasm, always doing re. search work to help him in his chosen field. He took a great deal of art work and music appreciation, even coming back to take some courses after his graduation. While still a pupil here he gave a program of his own dances, using Victrola records for music. It was predicted that he would be on the New York stage within five years and so· rapid was his rise, this prediction was' fulfilled. . Mr. Weidman praises the modern dance department at the Uni- · versity of ·Nebraska and says that colleges in the east are introducing dancing for men. Such classes are of use not only from the standpoint of athletics but also as a means of furthering the developments of athletics. Mr. Weidman, who is himself six feet tall, and dark and handsoh1e, sums up the value of the dance by saying, "The study o~ modern dancing helps one to understand the forces underlying material, every day movement, and is. very helpful, in the development of athletics."

Interpretive Dancer Declares Modern Dancing Good For Atkletes, 'Charles Weidman, is one of the most famous ex-Links and has gone steadily upward in his .chosen field, interpretive dancer. The New York Times said of his work in the Bimington . Festival of the Dance this fall, ''Mr. Weidman's dance was sheer perfection:" In a letter to a Lincoln high pupil he tells some of the things ·he remembers about Lincoln. He first became interested in dancing when he waltzed his sister. around the Antelope pavillion. The pageants which Dr. R. P. Scott put on for the university also stand out in his memory. . He worked at the Lincoln Telephone company while going to high school and so had little time for outside activities, but his classes he recalls vividly. Ruth St. Denis, the well known dancer, has had a profound influence on his life. It was when he first saw her dance at the Orpheum theater that ·he decided upon dancing as his career. Miss Gladys Dana recalls that he was so sure of gaining admittance backstage that he bought her a large bouquet of flowers. He actually did manage to push his way in and not so many years later he was touring with her company with whieh he was associated before

Links Land on All Star Teams In the first of many "all star" teams to be chosen the Red and Black landed eight play~rs. On the Missouri Valley, honor roll players were named for every position by the Lincoln Sunday Journal and Star selecters. Also one Reserve player was named on the greater Lincoln league selections. Dean Jackson shared honors with three other lads 'at end as did Forrest Bachman at a · tackle spot. Eugene Irick was one of the three guards chosen and Joe Parting:ton shared the center position with Riordan of Sioux City East. However it was . in the backfield that the Links landed heavily, for tbe entire starting backfield of Fred. Metheny, "Bud" King, Don Hansen and Howard Debus were all named. In the greater Lincoln league, Step Jones of the reserves was chosen as one of the seven backs.· With only one conference game, the reserves could hardly expect to land any more positions.
After being held for the first . period, the Red and Black power· house began to roll and soon punched out five touchdowns in . overwhelmiing a light, . but stubborn, Falls City e)even 33-0 at the Falls City field last Friday afternoon. The win forged the tenth link in the chain of victories and now only the Bulldogs of North Platte bar the way for an undefeated season. The only real threat by the Tigers came in the first canto when Doil James, slippery quarterback, dashed 29 yards from his own 49 to the Lincoln 22 where he was run out of bounds. The threat ended wh~n Lincoln took the ball over on its own 36 pushing the Tigers back . that far. Then the march began which ultimately ended in the initial score. Metheny, Hansen and Jennings rolled off large chunks of yardage through the Falls City line and. finally big Howard ,Debus exploded through the middle for the 'lcore. "Red" Hansen's drop-kick was wide. Lincoln kicked off and as soon as the team got the ball the payoff came again. Irick . intercepted a pass on the Tiger 37 and after one line play, Debus faded back and tossed a pass to Hansen good to the 13 yard line. Hansen cracked the line and then Me; theny went over. "Willie" Jennings made good the conversion, the score reading. Lincoln 13, Falls City 0. Hansen Breaks Loose. The score remained 'this way until the fourth quarter when the Links got hotter .than a G Man's pistol and scored three more times. Taking the pall on the. Tiger 49 at the start . of the quarter Don Hansen immediately broke loose off tackle for 31 yards to the Falls City 14 being brought down from behind by Don James, Tiger speed .merchant. "Bud" King and Hansen combined to make it a first <),own on the 2 and then "Bud" cracked over. The extra. point was null and void.· With the insertion of numerous Red and Black reserves the game took on the complexion of a track meet, for ,the bench warmers ran wild. Jennings, who was playing safety, soon snatched a punt and rambled , back to the opponent's 20, Henry .Reichel went through right tackle for a first and ten on the 9, Jennings made five more and then Don Lovell chalked up his first score of the season, going over standing up. Jennings proceeded to kick the point making it read Lincoln 26, Falls City 0. Lebsack Tallies. Miller kicked off for Lincoln and after an . exchange of punts the irrepressible Jennings dashed 50 yards from his . own 38 to the Tiger 12. On the very next play Bob Lebsack marked up his initial touchdown of the currept campaign, ·ploughing over via right guard. The kick was no good, making the final count read Lin· coln 33, Falls City O. After Lincoln was aroused from its lethargy in the second period, the team played excellent ball. It would be impossible to single out any particular backfield star although Hansen and Jennings did some. nice running and Metheny, King and Debus were their usual
capable selves. in the line It was Partington, Bachman, Jackson and Irick with Anderson · and ' Lorenz getting in some good licks. Falls City's whole show was Sophomore Don James who proved to be all he was said to be. Until he was hurt Capt. Femmer was the outstanding Tiger lineman.

Coinedy to Be Given By Cast~ of Eight One Night Only Hai:e Y Oll Reen Hurt In Some Way Lately? Have you been hurt as a result of an. accident recently? Has a bicycle run into you? Have you fallen down your stairs at home? Has someone knocked you down while running In the halls? Questions of this sort if answered honestly and promptly by filling ou.t convenient forms obtainable in the office will be of vital help to the National Safety Council in their search for accurate information regarding accidents in the home, on the playground in the streets, on trips. and in school and other buildings. Lincoln . high started a drive December 1 to enlist student co-operation in report· ing all accidents in which they may be involved. This is purely an im· personal report and under no circumstances will names of students be revealed. Although all school accidents are reported by the faculty the majority of the accidents to pupils es· cape unnoticed because they occur in the homes and in other activities In which a check Is not always made. Only by the willingness of students to aid the school and even the nation in its search for permanent safety can definite results be accomplished.

Forum To the Editor: The following eeven statements' are in response to the letter from Jayne Lynn which stated very well the issues most taiked about in Lincoln high school. 1. Night football is probably on its way. Perhaps next year it everything goes well. "Will it pay its way?" is the main question. 2. The music department has already begun plans for a drive to secure the money for new band uniforms. Next year may also bring them. 3. If a Lincoln hig)l football game la not worth fifty cents when a person pays· one and two dollars for a university game, don't come. 4. The school haf and will con· tinue to charter ·buses for pupils. The school will secure a bus for any 30 or so pupils who pay the fare . 5. PeP. rallies at night have been tried in former year.s and the black eye L. R · S. received for the conduct of some of her pupils and others n.• t students In the down-town district' made night rallies undesirable. • 6. A boy pep club is an exce)lent idea and can be carried out if some group will take over and organize it. 7. This idea of the school electing cheer. leaders is also a good idea, and if the school wishes and someone takes the time and effort it will be done. Perhaps the council or the Peppers can arrange for the try-outs. JOHN PROVOST (For the Student Council)
Lincoln high school can well be proud of
its English department. Some criticism open

and implied, has been heard to the effe~t that . Lincoln high school g-raduates ranked low in their knowledge of English. . The best way to answer these criticisms is to present the percentages of all University of Nebraska freshmen in each of the freshman English courses and the sa.me figures for Lin· coln high sc·hool graduates attending the university. Upon entering the university, each student must take certain standardized tests, one of which is given in English. By the grades made in this test they are divided into three groups: Eng1ish 3, the most advanced; English 1 the middle group, and English 0, which takes those unprepared for college English. Exactly 14.5 percent of all fr.eshmen are taking English 0 this year, but only 6 percent of those from Lincoln high school needed to revrew· En r.!'.ri8h r-,1nda111enta ls . . JLG

from the whole class take English 1 while 37.7 percent of Lincoln high graduates fall into this grot1p. But the figures the school is most proud of are the percentages of the students in English 3. Lincoln high school prepared 56.3 percent of her graduates well enough to merit this course while from the university at large only 28 percent qualified for the advanced work. So while high school English here is difficult, it does give the necessary principles of English and saves graduates from wasting time in needless review. Lincoln high school's English department does deserve a vote of thanks and appreciation from the studen1, body.
Congratulation Due Our Team and Coaching Stal I Here's to the most recent in a long line of outstanding Lincoln high school teams. The 19~18 football squad bettered last year's record by gaining undisputed leadership among the high schools of the state. All the glory and praise due them should go to the team as a group and not to any indi· ' 'iduals. lt was only through close coopera· tion within the team that it became an invin· cible machine. It was by the efficiency and perfect timing of the lin~men ~hat .the backs were able to make slashmg gams mto opponents' territory. More th.an eleven players were necessary to set up such a record. A large squad composed of good players was essential to build up this perfect record. Credit is also due to a fine coaching staff who polished and coordinated the material that reported to them. It was they who welded the members of the squad into the successful organizations which won every possible football honor.
Education Yearly Costs One Hundred Ten Dollars Are you .worth it? Be honest, do you increase your value to Lincoln $110.00 every yead That 's what it costs the taxpayers to give you a year in high school. Besides that expenditure, they have provided for your use a $815,157.80 buildilig and equipped it with $94,756.57 worth of furnishings. What an opportunity! Of course you can take it or leave it. No one can force you to learn. The best the teachers can do is to try to interest you' and, if they suceed, help and encourage you. In Lincoln high school there are 13:1 courses offered. Somewhere among them surely everyone must be able to find some which can arouse his interest. The initiative, though, must come from each individual student. Have you ambition and purpose enough to sort out what vou can best rise and then make the most or" it? If you can, then the city could not have made a better in vestment than financing your education. But if you won't take ?.dvantagc of this chance, then tho city had bettgr never raised the money,
Marion would like to see the grading system changed so that we could only get 1 's. She has enjoyed her senior yeai· the most because she knows more persons and she likes most about Lincoln high, the people. She was secretary of .Mimes and Clef clubs in her sophomore year and is now secretary of Mummers a.nd Orpheons, a member of Peppers and a home room representative.
TO PLEASE HER Be on time for engagements. Corne to the door, don't sit in front of her house blowing your horn. Be sure not to neglect to open all doors for her. Ahvays walk on the outside when you accompany a girl. Don't blame all bad driving on women. Dress properly for the occasion .. Don't wear purple socks.
TO PLEASE HIM Be ready when he calls. Don't ask him to fill his pockets with evening purses or all of your emergency tools. D,a what he'd like to once in a while. Don't slip off your shoes in the movie or under the table. Don't re-arrange your hat every time you . . ' pass a nurror. Don't spend all of his hard earned money. Don't talk about the "dates" you've had with other boys.
WHAT IS YOUR WORST FEAR? Dorothy Freeborn fears she will forget her lines on the opening night of a play. Marjorie Blewfield a 1. ways holds her breath for fear the silverware drawer will fall on her foot when she opens it. Roger Garey is very much afraid that he will be very much broke after Christmas. Ruth Grant hates being the first one to go into a booth when three people sit on the same side. ·
"A very small percent of the a-rrests made for traffic violations are high school pupils," was the statement made by Harry Goeglein, police officer in Lincoln. He explained that law violations are divided into two classes. The first i~ misdemeaners which are punishable by fines and jail sentences of less than ayear and the second felony, a crime punishable by death or imprisonment of more than a year and in many cases large fines are added. Some of the alibies which petlple · give when arrested for speeding are (1) Didn't realize they were going so fast; (2) Late for work; (3) Speeding because they were low on gas and they wanted to get to the gasoline station befo~e they ran out of gas; ( 4) Erner· gencies; (5) Speedometer not working properly; (6) Footfeed was stuck. The two later are usually offered by women. The largest share of people arrested concede they are wrong and plead guilty. He also stated that those arrested do not violate the laws Intentionally, but get their minds on urgent business and duties be· sides traffic and become careless.
Decorations Will Adorn Buildings Yule tide decorations are under the direction of the student coun· cil who next Saturday will be found tacking and tying wreaths 11-nd pine branches to all of the classroom doors and · auditorium light fixtures. This, they hope, will lend a "piney odor" to the building, creating a Christmas atmosphere for the various assemblies. Virginia Ford and Lester Buckley being in charge, estimate the numbe.r · of wreaths needed to be . somewhere between 90 and 100. This greenery will rmain until Christmas vaca• tion, then to be removed and pre· served for next year. Two trees decorated by seniors, will adorn the auditorium stage.

Man.y Queer .Laws on Record Not Enforced If all the laws now In effect were enforced upon you, here's some you would have to abide by: If you took your dog for a walk after dark, the dog would have to have a tail light. It would be against the law for you to ride a mule· down town at the rate of eleven miles an hour. You could not carry an umbrella with you If it was not raining. Your mother could not shake her dust mop out of an upstairs win· dow. Last but not least, you would have to carry a gun to church as protection.

On an honor roll list of 72 star prepsters representing 53 schools, the Red and Black of Lincoln high placed seven men, one for ·mh of the four line positions and three in the backfield. In the list of thoae deserving honorable mention the names of two more Links players appeared, making a tqtal of 9, or just ·two snort of the first team. Dean Jackson, one of the 12 ends, was noted for his pass catching ability and excellent defensive work. Among the ten tackles appeared the name of Forrest Bachman. Going down under punts was "Ferries" specialty. Eugene !rick's name pops out in the guard list. "Jug" was .a hard charger and always delighted in smashing up the interference through his territory. The center list totals seven, but as far as Lincoln fans are concerned, it just says "Joe Partington." Joe was one of the key defensive men. In the backfield the three Lincoln men were a powerful machine. Fred Metheny got his plaudits for his titanic blocking and brainy quarterbacking. Don Hansen was the shifty elusive type and was high point man .of Lincoln steam roller. The triple threat artist was big Howard Debus who rated honorable mention last fall.

Chewirtg Howard Debus to a frazzle, the fighting Bulldogs of North Platte neglected to watch the other Lincoln backs and the result was a thrilling 13-6 victory Thanksgiving day for the Red and Black gridsters which gave them their second consecutive mythical state championship. The first Lincoln score came early in the second period. Taking the ball on the North Platte 40 the Links drove on a series of power plays to the 4 yard line. With a first down to make the score the Lincoln attempt was frustrated when the Platters intercepted a pass on tll.eir own 4. Murphy got off a poor kick which traveled out on the N. P. 15. Two cracks at the line netted 4 yards, then Hansen wriggled off tackle for the initial score. Buddy }{ing -ploughed through the middle for .the all important extra point. The half ended with Lincoln leading 7-0. Opponents Score Once. Early in the third canto, North Platte took advantage of a break when Metheny was put out of the game. A fumble bottled up one drive, but after Debus had punted to the Lincoln 46 the fireworks exploded. James rolled around left end and galloped 40 yards to the Links 6. Three line bucks brought the ball to the one yard line and then · Breen catapulted over. Bob Wilson, star placekicker, was inserted but Iii.a kick was smothered by a horde of Lincoln linemen.
of a long run and a pass to Dean Jackson the ball was advanced to the Bulldog 8. However the threat was stalemated .and North Platte took over on ti1eir 11. Behind, they began to throw the ball around and one of these efforts was intercepted by alert Joe Partington who got 'oack to the Platter's 20. On fourth down Debus lateraled to Hansen for .a first down on the 9. Hansen, Debus and Lebsack got 8 and then Debus crashed over to put the game o.n ice. Hansen's dropkick was no good.

Seniors Annual Production,Entertains Big, 4.ppreciative Audience; 'Duet Sings "Take My Advice," a sparkling comedy by Elliot Lester, was presented with great suc~ss to a most appreciative audience, by the class of '39 last Friday eve· ning in the Lincoln high auditorium. Pra;ise is due all of the players for their :fine portrayal of each character. The scene of the play was the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Weaver, played by Franklin White and Anne McLaughlin, respectively. Franklin presented . a picture of a typical business man who couldn't · resist salesmen, with Anne as his frivolous wife who. aeemed to dote on her latest craze of numerology. Harold Williams, suave, as Professor Bradley Clem: ent, straightened out the domestic strife In the Weaver household, which had been caused by Jim Thayer, a 1111per salesman of stocks and bonds, interpreted by Richard Putney, and meek Kerry
Van Kind, master of the art of acting, a. part admirably portrayed by Thomas Morse. Patricia Green, playing the vamp, Marella Scott, brought grief by jilting young Bud Weaver, alias Jack Van Patten. an irrepressible young fellow, eight years younger than Marena. Cauying the ferilinine lead with much success was Dcirothy Free· born, who finally, af!:er realizing the folly of Kerry Van Kind, falls in love with the Professor who ironed the whole complicated situation out in the end. ' Making the evening even more delightful wex:e tbe duets sung by Dorothy Weirich and Jack :Anderson. The numbers were: "Indian Love Call," "Come to the Fair," and "Ma.ytime." Director Of the play was .Miss Jane Shaible ·and tbe sponaol'l!I are Miss Lillian Monie. and Mrs. Bernice Tebbetts.

Type Oasses Try Conce·ntrati·on To. find out ·if pupils could con· centrate was the object in Mrs. Frances Rein's typewriting classes last Wednesday. The test · lasted fifteen minutes and the one who could type the longest during this time and make no ·errors would be the "Champ." The first one who made an error had to stand. up.

The school's Peepiri' Tom noticed: Don Tucker has a "True" love nowadays. ~Iartha Ann Bengtson has a stro~g ad-Meyer. (Lynn) Norma Westphal is ''Mussen" around with high school grads Mary Louise Simpson doing the Lambeth '!Walt" every week-end. · Larry Wentz "Wood" "Shirley" like to have Christmas vacation hurry up and roll around so one of his girl friends can come home. "Oz" Been Saving Myself for You" seems to be the theme song· of Eugenia Faulkner.
June Pitney, junior, can tell in· teresting stories about her ancestors. Her great grandfather's brother was minister to" the Austrian King. Her great grandfather's ' uncle was the baron of Austria- . Morania. Her mother's great, great uncle played the violin in the Austrian kings (court) orchestra. · Her great aunt's uncle was a pri· vate tailor for the Austrian king. The wedding of her great grandfather and grandmother is quite impressing. It took one year for the cabinet maker to make the .wedding furniture which was selected wood brought from. Italy. The bride's wedding dress was made of the finest white silk damask with accessories to mateh. She wore expensive pearls. There were six trunks of the highest quality hose. The following is the bride's attire during the three days wedding entertainment: For the dinner of the first day she ·changed to a dress that had taken her maids· one year to emb~oider.
The bride's array for the first dance was of pale green, richly
.embroidered in which there were no two de,signs alike. It took the dress maker six weeks to make it, and she could dance only with her husband when she wore it. For the other guests she wore a costly gown of flowered silk. The bride changed at every hour according to the occasion. The groom, June's great grand. father, wore a black Prince Albert suit with diamonds set in gold studs on his vest. At the dance on the wedding day it was the custom for the groom to carry the dowry (gold money) given him by the bride's parents; which was a sign of good luck. · · After each intermission at the ball the dancing partners walked around the ball room and plucked decorations from the pillars. The young lady's partner would have to pay ten dollars each time she plucked a decoration. This was a custom regardless of what was .done. with the money. Tl¥ guests)ook ,_the brid!! and gr.oorp. horn~ after the three days of merriment. .Th,e . wedding pro· cession was three miles long.

Mexico is one of the moat cur· rently popular visiting places and Anne Merriman Peck .gives due credit to the varied and colorful provinces of that storied and romantic country In her book "Young Mexico." With vivid descriptions Miss Merriman tells of the gay Posada or Christmas festivity in Mexico with the Plnata showering gifts to the small and isolated Indian villages. She also gives a splendid de· scription of the thick and danger• ous jungles of Yucatan where Indians live in the shadow of old ruins and the chil.dren use the trees · and vines as their chief source of entertainment. From Yucatan she takes you to beauti· ful Orizaba, a busy Industrial town. The town has many lar'ge factories and modern buildings and automobiles. The boys and girls of the factory workers learn to swim and to play basketball and tennis with as much ability and zest as their North American neighbors. Differing most decidedly from the book, "Young Mexico," is the book, "Ding Goes to Russia," by Jay N. Darling. Surely everybody ' has heard of famous Ding, the cartoonist, whose shrewd and often stinging political cartoons have been prized daily features of more than lOO newspapers for the past fifteen, years and more. He proves himself to be as clever and , skilled writer as he is a cartoonist. He uses tn his 'ti h wr1 ngs t e same keen power of . observation and the same clear analysis ·for which he has become . famoJ.Js tn his cartoons. Mr. ·Darling had heard so much about Russia and the different customs and ways of living that
Jefferson Nickels Are Now Making Their Appearance The new Jefferson nickels hava made their appearance in t owns a ll over the United States. · Five hickels were being issued at a t ime at the Federal Reserve bank in Denver. Collectors are not unanimous in praising · the new coin, says the Chicago Tribune, in fact few have been pleased with the reverse, al· though the obverse is well liked. Souvenir. collectors, who · seldom know how to preserve coins in uncirculated condition are putting them away. Each coin, they in· form collectors, should be sep• arately wrapped or enlosed in a small envelope to prevent rubbing. Whether any of the new 1938 nick• els will be scarc_e depends on tht coinage during November and De· cember. A total of 7,968,000 of which 1,100,000 were in Denver, and 1,700,000 in San Francisco were coined in ·October. The mint mark "D" on this coin is found at the right hand end bf Monticello on the reverse. The 1938 buffalo type nickel• were minted in Denver only. A total of 7,020,000 pieces wera turned loose during J anuary, Feb. ruary, March and April. Based on this figure, the coin is .not nearly so scarce as some dealers would have it appear, Only 5,635,000 five cent pieces were coined in San Francisco in 1937 and t~ere are several years with lesser quantities .from Denver or San Francisco. A very large pro· portion of the 1938 nickels are in the hands of collectors, dealers, and speculators, as the hange m de.sign was ann()unced before the Denver coins were issued.

L.H.S. Mechanic Builds Speedster Using parts from twelve different kinds of automobil~s, Ralph Batty, senior, crack mechanic, has assembled a speedster. Ralph 1ta.rted on his car last September when school opened and he first got it running during Christmas vacation. Because of the high speed gear ratio, this car is capable of great speed. Ralph hasn't really opened it up yet, but he has been clocked at 98 miles per _hour. His speedster has a cut down wheelbase and it doesn't take much gas because of the light weight of the car. A rebuilt engine, from a wrecked Ford V -8 furnishes the power. So far Ralph has put $110 into his car and he expects to spend about $30 more for the body. Parts obtalned from cars ranging from 1939 Mercury to a 1925 Rickenbacker, including 1938 Oldsmobile, . 1935 Ford V-8, 1934 Ford V-8, 1932 Model B Ford, 1929 Model A Ford, 1928 Model A Ford, 1927 Essex, 1932 Chevrolet, 1925 Jewet, and Dayton wheels.

Dr.. Patterson Is Speal{er The Faith T hat Is America Is T opic At Assemblies " Greatness consists pr imarily in our convictions," w as the opening statement made by Dr. Charles P a t terson, when he spoke on the " F aith That is America's," t o Lincoln high school pupils T h ursday and Friday in as.s emblies. "There i s no country in the world in which we would rat her live than in America," continued Dr: P a tterson. "We are beginning to realize the principles which g uide us."

,.c oins. ou r coins "re. the ins cr iptions "Liberty;" " E · P luribus U n um" and "In God W e .T rust." H e explained that America was founded by Liberty loving persons. Most of theiii were lovers of religious freeddm who could not ac. quire that in· their native foreign countries. We still have f r eedom as a part of the great heritage which we possess, according to Dr. P atter son. Education is Good Chara cterist ic. In his opinion, our forefa thers f elt that the phrase "E Pluribus Unum ," out of many one, could be a ttained la rgely through the m a ss education of t he people, which w as a nd is our greatest charact eristics. Even at great effort and expense to the public, t his idea has con· tinued t o be Garried out. We have h a d many interferences, but in sp ite of this, our work has been ca r ried out. We are convinced that we· can be and can have one people an d one n ation. Democr acy is Based on Trust . " Our democr atic society is based on trust," continued Dr. Patterson. "We cannot have this society unless people trust in each ot her and in somet hing else. Most of the time our trust is not be· trayed. Our whole business struct ure is based on trust. We have entrusted our des tiny in our s tate legisla tur e. We can believe in each ot her so long as we believe in God. "I p redict ,'', he continued, "that democracy will last if we can pre· serve our faith ." "To ma intain faith is t he ulti· mat e wor k of humanity~it is that t hin g which m akes our life worth living" he concluded.
Teacher Attends Convention Frank K ane, head of t he com· mercial dejJatt ment, attended the Nationa l F ederation of Commercia l Teachers convention which w as held at Chi~ago during the holiday season. Dur ing his thr ee-day stay at Chicago, Mr, Kane met three former Links. They were Harry Kuklin, who is n ow earning his m asters degree at Nashville, Ten· nessee, George Sa uer who is coach at t he University of New Hampshire, and Ber nie Masterson who is still playillg professional football with the Ch icago . Bears. Mr. Kane also mentioned that he saw W. H . L auritsen who was formerly a physical education teacher here. The theme of the whole cenv en tion seemed t o be developing the students .personality, charact er t ·building and consumer education.
Students Will Spend Part Time in Class; Rest in Acquiring Actual Experience To broaden t he field of . service of the t r a de training in Lincoln high school, a pa rt-time diversified occupations program has been st a rted. Object of the plan is to assist a boy to learn a tr ade or r eceive t raining in an occupation by per• m itting h im t o ·attend school ha lf• t ime and work half-time at the occupation he expects to follow as a life's work. Her etofore, t he t rade t raining a ctivities have been lim· ited t o four t rades in w hich t he practica l training h as been secul'ed in the school shop. Includes Vario us Occupat ions. The new program proposes to place the worker on a job half· t ime where his practica l training will be sec ured under his employer or a for eman. In this m anner a boy secures his training in an ac· t ual production shop or place ot business using th e plant a nd equip· ment of his employer, thus making i t unnecessary for the schools t o provide the equipment for t raining in varied and diverse occupa• t ions. Technical instruction will be secured at school in t wo periods set aside for _that purpose. One period will be with t he co-ordinator in which industrial and employment r elations will be considered with discussions on every day problema coming up for solution. The other period will be with a n inst ructor from a depart ment most nearly related t o the occupat ion selected by the student. T_h e employer must agree to as-
-.~~;'d~fe~t·~·~~-~~;~~~---of the tra de or occu~.....,... . Work in school and on t he job will be closely co-ordinated. The worker m ust be paid. The program is open to juniors and seniors 16 years of age or over. It permits graduation from high s chool with a diploma, though does not pre· pare for college. Parent a l consent is required. The t r ade or occupa · tion selected must contain suffi· dent skill or necessary knowledge t o r equire a t r aining period of t wo y ears. Time spent on t he job will b e half time. Fifteen hours per week exclusive of Saturday is the mini-· m um set up by · t~~ st ate depart· ment for vocationB:i education. The L incoln schools ar e reimbursed to t he extent of three-fourths of the cost of the program by state and federal vocational training money.

Between The Covers The airplane Is one of the most Important things H1 the develop· ing and improvements Qf scientific discovery of modern civi I iz~tion. A fresher picture, of observation of curious tribal customs· and codes of morals and jostice in villages where white women are seldom ever seen, has never been presented than the one Mrs. Grace Crile presents in her African Ad· venture book, "Skyways to a Jungle Laboratory." Mrs. Crile explains their camp name, ...Maji ya moto," as mean· ing "hot water." The huts of the camp had sixteen sides but most of them were oe!tagonal, built on high mud platforms 8.nd having a high pointed roof. · Collecting of animals was both exciting and interesting as de• scribed by Mrs. Crile. As many w ere collected as possible. if they weighed over 600 pounds they were dissected and studied on the field, otherwise they 'l'iere brought into the laboratory where the entire an·imal was weighed, skinned," dis· sected and stud~d. i::ach organ preserved was wr.apped separately, marked and placed in jars, ranging 1-2 pintS to·s gallons and hold· Ing formalin solution. Wax models were to be· made upon return. Among the interesting speci mens was the rhino, hyena, zebra, baboon (steribol!;, dik-dik, r eed· buck, 'wildebeest, Thomson's ga• zelle all different types of ante· lope~), lemur, (allied to monkey,S ), snakes, scorpions, gr.a y monkeys, lions, buffalo, storks, · giraffe, jackals, elephants ·and many birds · of large sizes. Just about all the above named animals are featured in impressive pictures throughout the book. The trail bia:z;ing of the China Clipper from s ~. ·1 Francisco to Manila a ided by complicated de· vices of science; has the same ef· feet to twentieth century as the early navigators had on anothe·r age.

Former Links ls Making Expedition Writing from Ovalle, Chile, John L. Morrison, class of '29, now engaged in a botanical expedition to various pla ces in South America, tells of the purpose of the expedition and just what they hope to find. "We are of couq;e permanently interested in plants of temperate South America,",, Morrison wrote, "because they w ill grow, or may grow in the States. .Whether any of us will see "exotic blooms rarely seen by w hite men, I can't say. It sounds like Hearst pr ess sensat ionalism to me." There are three purposes to the expedition, accor ding to a letter r eceived by Miss Sarah T. Muir from Morrison, (i) to make a critical, systematic,. and particularly cytogenetic study of the genus Nicatiana; (2) to collect h erbariu m specimens in sets of fi ve; and (3) to obtain propagative material, buller, corns, t uben, roots, an d reeds to be gathered and shipped to the United States for ( 1) use in the San Francisco .e xposition, (2 ) distr ibution to California ·Garden club member and tohers who contriputed funds to the expendition, an'd (3) for growing purposed at the Un iversity of California Botanical aGrden."

The lining they already have is swell, but the school needs more if it is going to keep the shrubbery and lawn. The pipe may be a lit· tie conspicuous for a while, but a ft er a while the bushes should grow enough to cover it up. Norman Spur lock. To the Editor : I think that it would be a swell idea to have sweaters that the st udents of L. H. S . could buy with a major "L" on them .and call them "L" sweaters, which could be bought by any st udent so desiring one. Other schools have them so why can't we? It would also help to boost our school. So let's take a vote on it in the home r ooms soon . A Letterman.
Turtle Traveling From Home Returns Blind Oscar , a small but ambitious turtle, in whom the longing for travel is so great t hat he has twice wandered from his watery abode, has agai.n answered the "Call of the Wild." However, this time Oscar m iscalculated and made use of the w rong exit. The first leg of his journey happened to be down, straight d o w n a clothes-chute. Recovering from tihs disaster he made his way toilsomely onward, - but something had happened to Oscar , something d re a d f u I.Oscar, was blind! Whether the shock of the fall , or some other perilous event had· caused the disaster, no one will know, but nevertheless Oscar was blind! Determining to let nothing stop h im, the unconquerable tu rt 1 e contihued his journey. Meanwhile his mistress was going mad w ith anx iety. She hunted high and low, but could find no Oscar. Finally after · several days had elapsed, the daring t urtle was found safe and sound, sleeping in a snug corner of the coat closet. Since this momentous exploi t; Oscar has been contented to stay at home and sleep, much to the ev id en t r e l i e f of his mistress, Louise Babst.
Important News ·Put on Street In Half Hour From Germany to 0 street in less than thirty :ininutes, estimated Philip Johnson of the Star, is the r ecord time it would take an A· number 1 news story, as perhaps big news of Hitler, to be flashed from. Germany, taken t hrough the complicated process of being made into a newspaper, and delivered as an e':tra to the people on the street. "Although the day of extras is almost over, crowded out by the r adio news broadcasts,", Mr. John· son told some of the pupils of Miss Sarah T.' Muir's two newswriting classes, "we still make extras . in case of very important news, and then we do it only as a service to the people, and a cost t o the paper." To learn how a big newspaper gets the non-local news, how t~e news is printed, the two newswn t· ing classes made this trip to the Star the Wednesday before vaca· tion.

Professor Is Club Speak~er R. C. Spencer Chooses Polorization of Light For Topic. Poloroids and polorized light was the topic on which R. c. Spencer, assistant professor of physics at th_e University of. Ne· braska, addressed the chemistry club at i'ts last meeting Friday. · Professor Spencer explained that polarization of light is a process by which vibrations of light rays are made to take a single direc• tion. "Polorized' light has been known of since 1700," explained Prof, Spencer, "'but the public had been unaware o fit until but a few years ago when poloroids were able to be made more cheaply." In future years poloroids may be used extensively, especially in automobile headlights and wind• shields to prevent "headlight glare." Professor Spencer demonstrated the peculiar characteristics of po• loroids by placing two of them in a light projector. BY placing mica, ·cellophane and similar substance9 between them, various color schemes were shown. At the next club meeting, a chemisf from the Harris Labora• tories will take to the club on the application of chemistry to scienti• fie criminology.

Traditional Rivals Are Dropped In Double Win Last Wee Basketeers Victorious .Over Olllaha South 26 to 24 and Grand Islanders 32 to 25 Metheny And Rice With 20 Points Among Them Standout As Mecham, Willits Shine For G. I.
Coaches Corner
Taking advantage of the free throws, the mighty Red and Black basketeers, led by Captain · Fred Metheney, defeated a gallant Grand Island team to score of 32 to 25, last Saturday evening at the Whittier gymnasium. The Third City team sank more field goals, but made only one out of 9 free throws to the Links 10 out of 14. Tom Rice seemed to be abolut the only one of the Beechnerites to hit the bucket the first quarter, but he, with help of Metheny and the rest of squad, put the score up to 11 to 4 in favor of Links. Metheny and Rice alone gathered 5 points in the next quarter while Johnny Mecham gathered 8 out of 14 points in the first half thus making score a.t midpoint, 16 to 14 in favor of the Lincolnites. Sam Mehring, captain of the Mandery outfit, got hot after frist half and evened the score up, but Metheny took aim and swished one and then with Jenning .went on to make the score at end of third quarter, 29 to 19 for the home team. Jennings And Willits Ejected. In the fourth quarter Lincoln lost Willie Jennings while Grand Island lost its sparkplug, . Lynn Will.its, also on fouls. With the help o fthe guards, Dick Gellatly's and Harvey Lauer's, long shots the · Links held on to their lead ·to hand the Third City the defeat. With Jennings', Rice's and Metheny's front courts work and Lauer's and Gellatly's back courit play, the Red and Black quintet will be pr e t t y hard to beat although there were bad shots and passing in the final division. . ·Metheny collected 12 points to be high point man for the Links while Rice copped 8 points for second place. Mecham was high for the Islanders with 8 marks, all got in first half, w hile Willets sank 3 field goals and one · free throw for 7 points to be second high. Coach Mandery's guards, Findley, and Mehring, .were the main stays in the defense. The eligibility hurdle tr i pp e d Bob Weygint, forward, and Bob "Truck" Willia ms, guard, but they will p r obably be ready for n ext w e ek's game. The summary: G.

Sports Album Les Oldfield the .164 pound backstroker for the· Links tank team, who completes his last year of h igh school swimming c ompetition this winter, can boast' of never having been beaten irt two y ears while sw imming the 100 ya rd backstroke for the Red and · Black. Having been state. champion for t wo years, he will not only try for the state championship again, but also for the state r ecord. Les started the year righ,t by beating the Y. M. C. A.'s pool record by .5 of a second. H is favorite hobby besides swimming is just messing around. Another strong factor for the tank team is Don Hilgert another .two year state champion, w ho'll be shooting for a state· record in the 220 yard freestyle. The 15 0 pound free styler would rather swim the 440 yard freestyle tha:n the 220 yard freestyle.
In a hair raising finish, the Red and Bla ck of Lincoln h igh emerged vic torious over a scrappy quintet from Omaha South by a 2S to 24 margin, at South Omaha Friday night.

Hi-Y Members Take Up Archery Archery has taken a · foothold and has gone into full swing at the Hi-Y club during the past two weeks. Duane Jenicek, University freshman from Columbus, has taken charge of the archers. Duane was the president of the Columbus Hi- Y club when a senior in high school, and the year following his graduation acted as secretary of the Columbus Y. M. C .A. About fifteen Hi-Y members are helping to remodel the basement of the local Hi- Y building, so that it can be used for an archery court. Jim Unn, an archer of good 1tanding, has consented to help Duane Janicek with the archers. They expect to turn out some good bowmen in the next few weeks.

Perfect Editor Never Yet Tracked Down A perfect editor, according to a Minneapolis editor, is. one who has never made a mistake, who never has offended anyone, who is always right, who can ride two horses at the same time he is straddling a fence with both ears to the ground, who always say,s the right thing at the right time, who always picks the rig ht horse as well as the right politician to win, who never has to apologize, who has no enemies, and who has worlds of prestige with all Classes, creeds and races. There has never been a perfect editor.
Mardis Proposes New·License Bill H. C. Mardis, safety chairman of the Lincoln Parent Teachers association, is about to propose a bill in the Nebraska state legislature which provides for the establishment of a driver's license for apprentice drivers. That is, beginners may obtain this license free of cost for the purpose of learning to drive properly. The present law provides for the obtainment of the license at the age of 16 but the driver must have driven for six months previous to getting' the license. As it is now they get their _ permits whether they are excellent drivers or not. Under the new system the person would get a license about six months before he becomes of age and in this period he would be permitted to drive only with his or her parents or with some r esponsible person with a legal driver's license. This bill is being introduced with the approval of the Lincoln Safety Council and the Lincoln Council of the Parent-Teacher association:
Qu.e stionnaires Given Seniors Links Board Considers Pupils Recommended For Staff Positions Questionnaires were filled out by the January seniors for the Links Monday. The information will be used in the compilation of senior biographies for the 1939 book. The board considered the names presented as prospective staff members at a meeting held Monday evening.

Student Wears Wooden Shoes The shoes Cathrine Wells has been wearing to school go "clopclop" as she walks along the halls. Perhaps you have noticed them. They have wooden soles and the top part is made of leather. The style is very similar to a Dutch shoe. One of them has a strap on it and the other does not. She explained that they were sent to her father as samples, and one was sent with and the other without the strap. The strap incidentally happens to be made of rubber and looks as if it were cut from the inner tu be of a car. Tuesday when Cathrine wore these· shoes, Miss Ethel Murray had her show them to the hygiene class. She went so far as to have her take them off and pass them around so the girls could get a close look. They make a great deal of noise, but Cathrine says they are comfortable to walk in.

Jose lturbi, Noted Pianist Conductor, Enjoys Flying, Travels Only by Air "Young people of America get every bit as fine a musical education as the young people of Europe," said Jose Iturbi, noted pianist itnd conductor, after his concert here ·January 10 at St. Paul church. Mr. Iturbi is honored to play on any r a dio program today, such as Bing Crosby's or with Rudy Vallee. He believes that public taste in music has developed much in the past two years. As conductor of the Ford Evening Hour symphony orchestra, he is very proud that his program took third place in the national p·o ns for popularity. While the management here in Lincoln was becoming more and more frenzied, Mr. Iturbi was ·blissfully flying a plane in Omaha. He loves planes and flying and never uses any other mode of traveling. He arrived in Omaha and not being willing to catch a train waited for two hours until the next plane. During his wait he took up a plane alone to gain hours of solo flying.

Advocate staff members have again submitted a file of newspapers in the All-American newspaper critical service offered by the National Scholastic Press association every year. Only issues of high school papers from September 1 to December 15 are considered and results are announced in the spring. Last year the Advocate received a Pacemaker award. A board of 15 judges specially trained and headed by Dr. 'Ralph 0. Nafsiger, member of the department of journalism at Minnesota university, Harry E. Atwood, editor for the North western life insurance compa ny, and Mrs: Edwin H. Ford, a graduate in journalism, rates the entrants. Since 1929 the Advocate has missed the All-American rating, given to superior publications, only in 1935. One to one and one-half percent of the All-American papers receive a Pacemaker award. To quote a pamphlet sent out by the N. S. P. A., Pacemaker represents "the cream of the All-American paper~ an9- the . _kad~!:§. _l_n..Jll~h -

Classes to Hear :Voice Recordings
The piano was tuned by a local tuner and set up early in the morning. By evening it was in little parts, having been practically torn apart by Mr. Iturbi's own tuner whom he takes with him on his entire tour. On hearing the Lincoln Cathedral Choir, tears came to Mr. Iturbi's eyes, he was so greatly moved. "I don't usually tell the critics much a bout music but I am going to write about this immediately," he said. From Lincoln he flies to Madison, Wis., and from Rochester he will fly to Beunos Aires.
Upon entering C. 0. Morrison's class room and seeing the radio and phonograph ·there, you might think that his classes are fortunate enough to have this entertainment, but no such luck. They really serve a purpose. Their latest effort is phonographic recording, which, if it works, will be very beneficial to other classes, especially the instrumental, voice and speech classes. They will be able to hear themselves as others hear them by m a king a recording, thus finding their faults and shortcomings.

•Lizzy Tish in her epistle this week. tells us ho\1 to keep the school ''spic and span.'' There's nothing like throwing gum on a :floor to make the owner of the shoe that steps on it mutter sweet nothings under his breath about the original owner of the sticky substance. 'l'he recipient of the gum could have been saved his sweet disposition if the original owner had remembered, ''Remember Me.'' Paper stre>vn around a hall looks very neat. Of course that depends on what one calls neatness. Perhaps that's the reason that the "Remember Me" baskets seem to be standing around doing nothing by the appearance of the floors. One would think they were placed there merely for decoration. Pencil .marks may add to the attractiveness of the school, especially on walls where every· one can see them, but fozzy thinks it's too bad one doesn't do it on paper where no one can see it. Those that ate so artistically inclined that t.hey carv" on desks shonlJ practke on theil' own furniture at home. Tlieir parents would appreciate it as much as the school In fact Lizzy sa~'s to deYelop technique ~md finesse, all of these things should be practiced at home. Your parents will probably get so interested they'll start practicing on you.
Mid-Year Concert Will Be Outstanding Event eoutstanding on the calendar of events this year will be the mid-year concert. Given by the choir, boys glee club, girls glee club, girls octet and several :featured soloists, the concert will be a treat to the · pupils and patrons of Lincoln high. The concert should be supported whole heartedly by the student body as the proceeds will be :for nev..- band uniforms. The band takes a major part in the football games with its parading and music. The new uniforms will make it even more spectacular. A memo1·y of the Christmas assembly with the ageless . carols soaring through the air comes to the mind. An opportunity , is given again to hear music that has survived through the ages, beautifully given by our excellent music groups.
Utterances Dedicated to the Lincoln High Corrigans •This jumble of journalistically inclined ut· terances is dedicated in remembrance to the wrong way Corrigans of Lincoln high school, whom you have seen gliding along at a ter· rific pace on the ~rong side of the stairs. These have been abolished due to the care and the thoughtfulness of the student council hall guards who are stationed by the stairs after school, which 0£ course happens to be our rush · hour. On each :floor and between each floor they direct and help pupils to conduct themselves safely from one floor to another and to abolish the wrong-way Corrig·ans of the terra-firma. The help rendered hy these hall guards is greatly appreciated and has gone a long way toward safety and good conduct in the halls of L. H. S.

'Spic and Span' School Lizzy Tish's Idea
new field of training is now open to Lin. coln high juniors and seniors, 16 years or over. The plan is to allow boys to receive practical training as well as technical instruction. This new plan allows wider opportunities :for a boy to attain practical knowledge in the field he chooses to make his life work. Half of the time will be spent at school securing technical instruction, the other half with his employer. A high school diploma will he granted although the training does not p.repare one for enteting uniYersity. It is a great step toward the gaining of practical knowledge for trades.

In regard to dying hair, Mi!!e Irene Keiborz, . beauty operator, tells us "Don't do it. If you buy the dye at a drug or department store, you are not certain of the cofitents of the dye and if you have a tendency toward the drug in the dye, it may cause you to become sick. If you must change the color of your hair from the original, have it done at a bM.uty pl!.r· lor, by an experienced. operator." "I don't believe the present style of hairdress will last much longer as some people do not like it and it is hard to comb. It is ideal tor eve· ning wear, but not· in the daytime. It is becoming to most persons, es· pecially to thos~ who have a thin face." · advice of Miss Keiborz in 'I'he . choosing. a shade of nail polish is to choose a color which will con· trast With the ·dress and hatmonize with the complexion. "Wear anything but a bright shade for school. and sports. For evening, it . permissible ·to. use a bright shade is if it is in accordance _with the rule f h · . . , or c oosmg your shade of polish.'

We have looked on at the nostal· gic expressions to be seen in the faces of some of the better aged members of the student body as they settle down to read the 20 Years Ago. Today column in tM Advocate. We do so without pity or envy. In fa.ct, it warms our heart to see, for example, two L. H. S. football players and members of the thinning hair brigade replaying that big impor tant game which is mentioned in the column . of memories. Or again, we thrilled to a romantic tlranfa when a gray• !rig sophomore approached the .other day, Advocate clutchM in his feverish hand. "See the 'twenty Years Ago To· day column 1" he. asked, his voice atremble. No, we hadn't. He placed his finger on an item whit:h read, "Fanny Foegeltrap in company with family has migrated north to Oma.ha, Nebraska (a former I ndian reservation ), where she will attend South high. Bet you'll be missed, Fanny-by the. tax collector ." "You see," said the ancient sophomore, "she was my girl. The only thing which has made my $tudent years at Lincoln _high bearable has l;>een her memory in these halls. In fact, I like to stick around the building until 5 o'clock just so I <:an look at the empty halls. They remind me of her face.'' "Very sad," we interposed, with proper · gravity, "but where is she now?" "Still going to Omaha South. I 'Wish Omaha weren't so far away." Well, to break away from this sentimental scene and come t o the point of this epistle, we suggest that the Advocate print a column dedicated. to sonie of us y1:>unger kiddies who have only been }tere at L. H. S. for the past ten years. Call it the eight, nine 8.nd t en years ago column. A l'teader.

Miss Hall Giv·es Warning in Original, Poem
Stanl'!Y Sievers Discusses Television; Explains Probable Effect on Country
"It will be sev.eral years before television is developed to the point of perfection because there are so many great obstacles to over come." This was the statement made by Stanley Sievers, young ass.i stant engineer, at radio stations, KFAB and KFOR. Sievers explained that the main problem is changing light, the principle of television, to an im· pulse and transmitting the impulse to the receiving end where it must be transferred back to light. Also the mechanisms must be in exactly the same position, moving at the same rate of speed, at the identical moment, at both the sending and receiving ends of the set. "In Europe, where radio is con· trolled entirely by the govern_ment," Sievers said, "development t>f television is far in advance of that here in America. They have no :commercial programs and the government, broa.dcasts propa· gand11- or dance music as it sees fit. In .addition to this restriction,
Europeans must pay for the privil· ege of having a radio at the rate of approximately two dollars a year." "I don't believe," he declared, "that television will replac·e the moving pictures. You must remember that when television comes, the performers will be seen by the listeners and the program will have to be acted out. Gigantic stages, costumes and props will be essential and also very expensive. In radio, the hero may be por· trayed as leaping from a speeding train into loose gravel and disappearing into the night by means of a recording of a moving train and a lot of gravel in a small tray, the hero all the while standing quietly before the microphone. This radio· technique would be decidedly disillusioning to the television au. dience. All the actions would actually have to take place." Sievers went on to explain that many new fields would open. Per_formers would necessarily have to be trained in dramatic art, while
technicians, prop men, scenarists, scenario writers, engineers, directors; musicians, and sound men would be a few of the absolute necessities. This presentation on such huge scale would be expensive and therefore it is doubtful whether much variety or quantity could be produced. Sievers said that the main experimental stations had not, as yet, reached the stage whereby television was possible without the aid of wires. Two such stations are located in Minnesota and Ranson, the latter of which he visited. .American demand for the, perfected article is the main reason, . he stated, why television will not be presented t.o the public fol\Some time to come. He added that the present day American wouldn't be willing to accept television. in its different stages of developments as they did with radio in the days when radio was new and a pair of earphones to snatch chance sounds out of space was regarded as mir!!.• culous and ver.}'. up·to-date.

Poetic warning Of what to ex• p'ect in their grades faced pupils itl the poem written on the board recently in room 103. Miss Ruth Hall finally admitted t)lat she was t he author. The poem· follows: Pa.use .and reflect ere you ask why Your mark is not so very high Have you obtained a lot of knowl· edge Enough to malte you fit for college? Or did you hope to bluff it through, To loaf a lot but little do ? If you've a ccomplished all the tasks, Can answer all the teacher asks Why· then, of course, a "one' ~ or ''two"
And nothing li:;ss will do for you. If Math to you is quite a bore Pray be content with "three" or "four"
If you your numbers always mix: Most thankful be for "five" or 4'six.t• 'A few will suffer darker fate
As some men do who start too late; But if they tt•y and try again Perhaps they too will catch the train.

Speed Test Held By Type Class Speed tests in typewriting have an interest of their own. Some tests play up some incident in his· tory such as the landing of the Mayflower, some give discoveries like the discovery of the great Jonker diamond and others give statistics and figures. Many of these have morals in them. For example the test about the little boy who tried to mend his pants. The pants were old and the piece of cloth he was going to mend them with was new. So in· stead of cutting the patch small enough to fit the hole he cut the h ole la rge enough to fit the patch. This boy's sense of values was bad. The typewriter educational research bureau, sends out one kind of test free each month to schools for use in typewriting classes. All of these different tests are kept i11 · a file in the typewriting rooms.

Joe De Claris, a former student of Lincoln high, returned to school from Houston, Texas, to finish his high school course. He was in Houston for one year and a half and attended a new modern school. Joe said that he is. glad to be back. He is now a senior. The exterior of the Houston building is made of white lime stone trimmed in brown. On the left end of the building, there is a huge map of Texas engraved in the stone. The school stands about 150 feet from the street with trees and shrubs on the campus. About halfway from the building there is a flag pole where the American and Texas flags fly. The interior is also very beauti· ful. There are only four clocks in the building, one in the middle of every hall and one in the office. . This shortage is to do away with clock gazing. All windows throughout the building are frosted to keep pupils from looking out. Lighting is indirect but the desks are just chafrs with an arm desk. The school is equipped with a public address system and a cooling system for the auditorium. It also has padded seats with blue leather covering. At lunch time the doors ope·n in the cafeteria and a pupil just lays his tray on a belt and fills it up. After he is through, a colored maid picks up the tray and puts it on another belt and it is taken away. There is a sign that reads, "Enjoy the building. It's yours."

This being the last meeting of the chemistry club for the semes" ter, members are urged to attend. Refreshments will be served after the meeting.
Classes Get Meat For Use in Study William J. Loeffel, professor of ' animal husbandry at thl:! Univer· sity of Nebraska Agrfoulture col· lege, gave a lecture and meat cut· ting demonstration for Mrs. Kath· erine Henningers first and second period boys cooking classes last Wednesday. For the first period, Professor Loeffel carved half of a pig and told what each part was used for. In the second period class, he cut a hind ql(arter of beef and also told the use of each cut. Every part of the animal is used, declared Professor Loeffel. Afterwards the 165 pounds of meat were used in the cafeteria and lasted about four days. A little of the meat was saved and is fr_azen for future use. ¥\Vith the bulletin .boards posted In the cafeteria and by the office, Mrs. Helen Pierce, cafeteria di· rector, hopes to acquaint the stu· dent body with the daily menu.
Cinematography Is Subject of Talk tui:'e 'drvl,;'[0~~--,,~r_ La~-1ors: spok_e_on. that subjecL to the v<1.niera club at their January 16 meeting. Mr. Winger, in compai:ing movies with still pictures, said that movies are easier to take than stills, because blurred pictures due to motion are not ·noticed in projection. The present tendency with amateurs is to take. too many pie· tures; to press the button without stopping to think whether he really wants it. He said that home movies should show more close· ups; that Hollywood movies were from sixty to seventy per cent close-up shots. In taking an out, door scene, such as a waterfall, the cinematographer should take a distant shot, two or three angle shots, and then another long shot. He also touched on the subject of sound. Mr. Winger does not recommend them for amateurs be• cause the sound part is too diffi· cult to manage. However, a narration with music may be -added to regular movie film after it is shot. That film would then have to be shown with a projector equipped for sound. After the talk, the club elected the following officers for next se• mester: President, George Wer~ ner; vice-president, Herbert Nor· man; secretary-treasurer, Robert Sorensen. The group decided to subscribe to Popular Photography for the next six months. Mr. Morrison suggested that the club have an exhibit or demonstration at the Lincoln hobby show next month, and a committee was· . appointed for that purpose.

A three• inch chameleon belonging to Patsy J. Cole attracted more attention last week than would Sam Francis acquire if visiting school. It has been christened "Butch" which is a very appropi'i· ate name because it is about as lively as chameleons come. It usually receiv~s a great deal of attention sitting on Patsy's shoulder as she walks through the halls. In fact it received so much attention last week, that by Tuesday '"Butch" was left at home on a plant to g et enough rest so he could participate in school activities Wednesday. His colors often change to pink, brown or green. He is most beautiful · when green because his eyelids are always green and the rest of his body then corresponds with them. Chameleons have a great control of their eyes. They can ro_. tate them together or one at a time, in a perfect circle. "Butch" too has_ quite a habit of winking.

Dorothy Bumstead, clas.; of ' 33, is Lincoln high's representative in Australia, at least temporarily. She is in Melbourne as a member of the cast of "The Sketch Book,'' a revue which was organized in New York and has been playing in New Zealand and Australia. When she first went to New York it·was as a student, but after a year of graduate work at the Traphagen School of Design she set out to get a job. She worked at . Macy's, at Altman's, modelled for Saks F ifth avenue and taught for the Singer Sewing machine establishment before she got her present position. The troop sailed from Vancouver as the "Hollywood Revue," but h ave switched shows enroute. After stopping at H onolulu · and other cities in mid-Pacific they played at Auckland, New Zealand, then moved to Australia to appear in Sidney, then in Eris· bane and are now in Melbourne. The showy is suffering because the extreme heat (temperature reached 115 degrees las t week) cuts down patronage and as a t e• suit of the Australian summer, they plan to return to the States in about six weeks. A call put through to Dorothy by her family in Lincoln Sunday, January 8, was the first telephone call ever made between Lincoln and Australia. Though she sounded faw awa y he r voice came through clearly and was easily understood. Although it was Sunday afternoon here Dorothy had just get up on Monday morning. It was rather difficult to make the connection because contact by telephol}e between the United States and Australia is only possible between 3 :30 and 6 o'clock in the afternoon. The Bumsteads made three attempts before the call was finally completed.

"The least the teachers can do is learn the names of the pupils in their classes," said a pupil re· cently in a news writing class. It started a discussion in which it was figured up that each tea chd has approximately 210 pupils a clay, <J.nu the most a pupil can h ave is not more than seven t eachers. Testing the augument to see if it was possible for the class to write five of the teacher's names down c o r r e c t 1 y, immediately quieted the argument.

Question Asked When Major' L' Appears in Hall ·Just how hard it is to earn a letter at Lincoln high has been asked many of the "L" men. How long do you have to work and what does it mean after you get, it? Not every person in Lincoln high can earn a letter, but some could if they knew what an honor it · ls to earn a major letter "L." A major letter or any other letter given by Lincoln high is the only letter that can be worn around Lincoln high and that. makes it a great accomplishment. There is a work attached to winning an "L," but it puts you in a club that is known about in every school in the United States because every school has ·its letter club. After you have received your letter, you · are admitted to every athletic game of Lincoln hig·h free, until the time you graduate, ther the L club invites all old me!"'· - 1·s to a certain sport every . ~r and then gives them a b; c ..,anquet to which every man , ... t ever earned an "L" ma br .umitted. · an award Lincoln y.•g h'.s L is that i~ - is won shows to the peoplr A the schor•J that clean sports.1iansh1p, the ability to work together, and respect for the letter and Lincoln high.

Tigers Trim Link.s, 48 to 26 Dunbar and Davies Shine for Hastings As Rice for Lincoln Speed was the watch word as a small but fire-engine type Hastings high basketball team trounced the Red and Biack or Lincoln high 48 to 26 on the Whit tier maJ,>les Friday night. It was the superior team play that was the margin between the teams, but Hastings was "red hot," while the Lincoln basket seemed to have a lid on it. The first quarter started out slowly with an exchange of gratis tosses, but ended in a whirlwind with Hastings sporting a 16 to 3 lead . Lincoln was limited to three free throws as Kramer, Fuller, Lit; tie and Davies dumped in seven buckets and two foul tosses for the Tigers. Metheny Sinks Free Throw. The Links pulled up a little bit in the second as they made seven

three free throws niaa·e-l.t.20 fo -ro at the half. Dunbar got two long b askets to begin the last half as Metheny got a gratis toss. Davies and Little made setups to make it 28 to 11 and then Gellatly and Little traded free throws to give Hastings a 19 point lead. This was narrowed a bit as Weygint sank a long shot and Rice made two under the basket endeavors. Gellatly and Hartman dropped in free tosses to end the third quarter 31 to 20. Tigers Turn Heat On.
In the fourth canto the Mi!lermen turned on the heat to register 17 points to Lincoln's 6 to have a 22 point margin at the finish. Weygint got a foul toss while Rice got momentarily hot to cage a bucket and three free throws to make all the Lincoln scores. For the invaders, Davies rang up two tip-ins while Fuller was caging two baskets and two free throws. Even the substitutes couldn't be stopped, as McCue, · diminutive forward, netted a bucket and foul throw. Van Wie, a very capable guard substitute, dropped in two under the basket shots. In the Hastings team the local fans saw one of the finest and hottest teams to appear here in a long time. Davies, Little and Fuller were the goal sharks while Dunbar and Kramer supplied the air tight defense which nettled the Beech-

The first semester of our school year is practically over and there are many things in the line of athletics that we can be mighty proud of. First of all is our state and Missouri Valley football championship, our undefeated Reserve team, and a strong northfield team. Coach Beechner's basketball team, starting with only· one returning regular, is performing like a group of veterans; Coach Yordy's reserves seem to be the strongest in years, having lost only to Bethany and that by th.i smallest o! margins; Coach Toman's swimming team is improving regularly with every workout. But even more gratifying is the attendance of students at both football and basketball games and of their greatly improved sportsmanship. The percentage of Lin· colR high rooters, who do great harm to the team and to the school by unbentlemanly booing, is growing l~ss and less. Let's all get together and make Lincoln high be known all over the country as the school that produces great athletic teams with followers that are true sportsmen one hundred per· cent. Frank W. Mueller.
Hastings Is in View With the first meet of the· season being January 28 at Omaha Tech's pool, Joe Toman has but two short weeks . to get the Red and Black swimming team in shape and to put the finale touches on it. · Toman will probably use Les Oldfield and Dick Marshall in the backstroke; Don Hilgert and Bill Ammon in the distant freestyle; George Crancer, John Edwa~s and John Saftdrd, three last y~r lettermen, in the shorter distant freestyle, while Bill Lofink and Dick McMahon will take care of the breaststroke department. Most likely George Crancer and Bill Hutton with the assistance of Gerald Henderson will dive for the Links squad, The schedule .complete to date is: January 28, Lincoln at Tech;

Using sixteen men, Cy Yordy's reserve team scored its third victory out of four starts by defeating Cortland, 26 to 11, in a preliminary game before the Omaha Tech mix, last Saturday at the Whittier gymnasium. The reserves started the game off poorly by making one basket and two free throws, while Hile an'd Boller collected five points between them for Cortland to take the lead at the end of the first quarter, 5 to 4. The Yordymen then tightened up on their defense, letting only one score be rung up, and started bearing down offensively, too. In this quarter Campbell made three buckets. as Vaughan, James, Jones and Hyland .all got one basket a piece to ma.k e the score 18 to 6 at the half time. The Cortland quint settled down defensively and allowed only two free throws to be rung up as they themselves .closed the gap only one point to make the score at end of third period 20 to 9 with the subs leading. The final quarter found Stiles ma.king one goal and, Vaughan and Kersey, each making two free throws. Whirli's basket was Cortland's Jone score in this period. Campbell took the scoring honors for the Links with six points, as Vaughan and Stiles tied for second place with four a piece. Hyland was the mainstay in the back court for the subs. Hile, with five points, was high for Cortland, while Huston, Boiler and Whirli each got two. The summary:

Play Again for the Litt]e Maroons; Two Returners for East This week end, Sioux City basketball fans will get a glimpse ot Lincoln high's basketball quintet when it tangles F'riday night With an all veteran Sioux City Central squad. Sioux ·City East will play host to the Links Saturday night. All Veteran Central Five. Lincoln's first tilt in Iowa · is with an all veteran Central squad. The five returning lettermen. are Bob Hine, Leon Urknes, Jack Clifton, forwards; Harry Day, Royal Lohry, guards. This fracas will undoubtedly be the toughest. In 1937 Dick Hine, brother of Bob Hine who is a starter, poured 17 tallies into the basket to lead Coach Stevens' five to victory over the Links by the count of 31 to 24. Starting at forward will be Leon Urknes, who last year dropped in. 11 points to put the Red and Black out of the Missouri valley race by a 27-20 encounter. Although he was not a letterman last year, Gale Stevens has been starting at the center post constantly. The little Maroons opened their season with a 20-17 win over Mapleton and a 28-21 victory over Onaw.a. The tilt will be the Links fourth Missouri Valley clash of the season. Meet East Saturday. The Red and Black basketeers will trespass into the Sioux City East basketball camp Saturday night to try for a Missouri Valley win. Although the East Raiders have only two veterans back they should cause plenty of trouble with their reserve strength. The 1937 battle with East resulted in a 24-18 win for the Beechnerites with Babe Miller collecting eight tallies. John Hay cut loose on a scoring spree and gathered 16 points to lead the Links in· a 37-29 victory over East last year. Graham and Trasovwech, both forwards, are the only two returning veterans, but are baclrnd by

High school baseball is going to be different this year. A state tour, nament will be held, as in track and basketball. The games will be played at the new University of Nebraska field. This is the first Nebraska state high school baseball tournament in the history of Nebraska and it is hoped it will be a success. The tournament will be under the direction of Wilbur Knight, baseball coach at the University of Nebraska. Hampton Williams, who has been a standout in after school basketball·, has reported to Cy Yordy to try for the reserves. Hampton led his "Missouri" team to four victories against one defeat while playing after school basketball and was tied for second in the league, scoring with 35 points. Finishing touches are being put on the new high jumps in process of construction in. the auto shop for use in the oval. It can be used as a combination high jump, pole vault, and with the addition of a net it can be used for outside volley ball. The plans were brought together by "Cy" Yordy and Carl J. Orness, instructor in the auto shop. Later Mr. Yordy plans to have another part made to fit into this for use in playing outside basketball. It is made of galvanized steel pipes welded at the joints. Two auto wheels are used for the bases. George Dent, former member and letterman of the '36 reserve football squad, won all state selec· tion in Iowa this year when he played end fo1• the Red Oak high school.· His brother, Lewis, also won all state hon·ors as a member of the Craig, Colorado, high'school eleven -this year. Coach Neal Gallant announced that the York invitational track meet will be held April 22 at York College track. The meet, sanctioned by the Nebraska high school athletic association, will serve to qualify teams for the state meet. The Links won the class A divi.sio.12 la.st year.
·Players from last years ·. seconds who will see much service · are: McDonald, Mathers, Pepper and Wallen, all guards.

Reserves .Drop Dorchester 27 -9
I

I In what was almost a "Believe It or Not" game the reaerves de· feated a highly touted Dorchester quintet 27 to 9 at Whittier Friday evening. The fact that kept the fans on the hot seat was that Dor· chester failed to register a single point until late in the third quarter and when they did, a loud cheer arose. James and Vaughan sank long swishers which, coupled with Hy• land's free throw, made it 5 to _0 at the first quarter. This was doubled in the second when Camp· bell and Hyland got set-ups and Stiles dropped in a foul shot ta make it read 10 to 0 at the half. · Campbell rang up five . in the third as James' follow and Vaughan's long swisher made it 19 to 0, but then came the point that . everybody hated, but yet wanted to see. Forward Stehlik sank a free throw which broke the ice. Then Dorchester seemed to find its basket eye and showed why it beat a team like Crete. Frahm, Crosscup, Tobiska and Kennedy · all got buckets but the damage was done and the Red and Black seconds were adding eight more to their1 total. Klein got a re• markable tip shot while Stiles got two underneath shots and Miller registered one to end the game 27 · to 9. Campbell's 7 points were high, as four Dorcheste.r lads were high for their team.

Lizzy Tish Gives Advice To Graduating Seniors • Liizzy Tish gives the graduating seniors advice this week. She believes a word to the wise ( 7) is sufficient. How not to win employers and influence them is shown in one easy lesson. ·when· he talks, chew gum, cracking it loudly. lJook everywhere but at him. For goodness sakes don't pay an attention. '' Girlsies, '' pow cl er your noses every two seconds, applying lipstick between times. An especially good moment for this is when he wants to dictate a letter. A lengthy conversation on the telephone helps-put you behind the ei o-ht ball. Don 't let spelling hinder you. Even if you do spell,cat, k-a-t, he won't mit1d -much. After all a cat is a cat no matter how you spell it. Use this principle in all other spelling errors also. Besides these f ew · pointers, there are many more which, if applied, can mean only one thing, you 'II be fired-unless of course he had sense enough to fire you before he hired yon. . For these who are entering tmiversity you '11 probably ·have to study. The best ·way to <lo this is to read the funny papers instead. Perhaps a show would help you get or Jorget your lessons. To learn more in a class watch the clock. You'll learn how to get ont on time. liizzy ends her series by wishing the seniors the best of luck and hoping no one has taken l1er recipes too literally these past few weeks.
Free Apprentice Licenses May Be Issued • Whether or noot a free apprentice license should be issued to a person just six months under six.teen in order that he may learn to drive has been suggested. 'l'he way the law is now stated, young people may obtain a driven: license when .sixteen yearn old, but to obtain it they are required six-months driving expe· rience and must be able to drive a car. 'l'his experience c.a nnot be obtained without breaking the Jaw as it is at present, ·aud in order that persons may learn to drive within the law, an enactment which would allow them a free apprentice license before they are sixteen is being sought. A law of this sort is :ilrea<ly in eftect in several other states and has proved successful. 'I'he proposed enactment h01vever, might prove very uusuccessful. It is trne that some young people this age arc c1ipable of driving a car, I.mt there would be others who would be very unenpable of eutrnsting a car to, an,[ might endanger other i)eople 's lives and property. ::Jome of this age are not as capable of driving as some ten years of age. However th18 provision is approved by the national safety council and on the average would work out very well, although there are always a few who catmot be trusted. If the proposed provision could he altered so as to a llow persons sixteen years of age or over to obtain a free apprentice license for a six-months period, the enactment probably ·would prove more successful.
Gum Chewers Club Has llfany Members as everv one knows, is • Gum chewino· 01 "' (!emonstrated by the better half of the Amel'j~,an p1. blic today. There arc always all kinds rJ-' members of the gum chewe1·s e.Juh, commonly known as the club of the ''Iron J a'vs. '' For instance, there are those who prefer to have their g·um every place but in their mouths and jug·gle it around. These people should belong to one of the juggling acts in Ringling Brothers ci1•cus. how much noise he can make by cracking his Then there is the person who loves to see gum without bothering his fellow gum chewers. This person should probably be placed in a. public zoo to attract everyone's attention. Another type of che'\ver is· the one who chews his gum with his mouth closed and his whole jaw moving in a circular motion like the earth rotating on its axis. Last, but not least, is the gum chewer that keeps his mouth closed and doesn't make any noise while chewing, or in other words, a decent gum chewer if there is such a person. This person in comparison with the other gum chewers would probably be marked as a frenk because of the fe"· persons t hat imitate him. Which one fits you the best?
Howdy again'· children! Well, this is the present Advocate staff's final edition of the school paper. This edition is dedicated to the January seniors although the rest of you students are supposed to read the paper also. I see another vacation period is. rapidly rolling around. Now all of you industrious little boys can get busy shoveling off sidewalks and in your spare time throw snowballs at the girls and go sledding. Here 's h oping you all have a "swell" vacation! Oh, I forgot to me11tion th e fact that you had better not stay out . very late Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings becal1Se y ou must be able to come back to school :Monday morning in "tip-top" condition to start a new semester.

To t he Editor: I am not going to take up much of your space for what I have to say can be said with few words. It seems that some people object to a certain column that has been running in the Advocate for the past semester. The objection sounds as if the writer was a newcomer to L . H . S. for there seems to be a lack of school spirit in the statements made by a reader of last week. Seniors and junior,s alike, after going to high school for a year or so, are interested in things that have happened in the past, but t:1e sophomore who is not yet seasoned, cares for _n othing but news around him or about h.im. I am sorry we can't please everyone, but there are always a f ew that wouldn 't be satisfied if they were given the whole universe. The column of "20 Years Ago" was suggested to the reporter by a well known man who is now serving on the board of education . He said, "Since you are trying to improve your paper, why not run a column of the past happenings, just like some of the larger papers?" I am sure that if t he down town papers give space to it, the Advocate can also donate a space of not less than three inches. A Reporter. To the Editor: Unicameral legislature should be and is of g r eat in terest to most high school student s. For some time now the question "I wish I could attend a meeting of t he Nebraska legislature," has been heard around school. Suggestions for filling this wish should be made to the student · council because: first, the legislature has a direct connection on governing our everyday life; second, the unicameral system of government used in Nebraska is being w atched by the rest of the fortyeight stat es. If this government is successful, many states may change to it . If not it will be remembered as an important step in progressive government. Many students would like to have the chance to attend one of these morning sessions. Why not suggest to your home room representative that students who wish to be excused from school during the morning for one of these sessions have tha.f' privilege·i ·Also 1t would be well to limit the number of. times they may a ttend and the time excused from school.

Soo Yorig, graceful and poised presented five sparkling skits January 17 for the Junior League series. Her vivacious personality, and faultless English delighted t he audience, Miss Yong's Shinese costumes were exquisite. Miss Yong said that the fal·setto voice on the Chinese stage had originated when the women were forbad by an emperor from acting. Consequently the. men used the falsetto voice. Then women coming back on the stage had to imit ate the men's high pitched voice. Falsetto voices became quite an art, Miss Yong's first sketch was presented in Chinese singing after she had translated the story into English. H er gracefulness a nd charm made it ver y entertaining. The second was of a young Chinese mother in China today. The humorous side was presented when she was having her small son write a letter to his American friend. Picking up the imaginary letter from a n imaginary son she read it haltingly to t he audience as if it really were in her hand. The hit of the evening was t h e Celebrity Club act. The four celebrities were played by her. T he first, a Chinese gentleman refused to commit himself on what he thought of America. He recited an old Chin ese proverb, "What one t ongue puts out ten oxen cannot · pull back In." The Japanese gentleman was in· troduced and he with ·a very flow~ry speech praised America with sweet f lattery. He said that

Fashion Flashes Well, since t he boys h ave rather been neglected in .this column and this being ,the last issue, we'll have . to dedicate the column to the m, today. Let's see what the fashions will be for 1939. First, many of the highlights for 1938 will remain through this season also. Foremost of t hese is the semi-sport influence in dress. This manner of casual dressing will probably be stronger this season t han last because of its great coin.fort. Green, maroon arid blight blue leading shades for men's fashions t his spring. A few have worn t hese colors for some time but they will become ver y popular now. Nothing is smarter to wear, t han the sport combination, for example light slacks and a ,dar_k cm1_t, Qr _yJce.~~_rs!i,, In suits the draped effect i~ gTowing in popularity but the sport back is just as popular as ever. A suit of worsted fabric is probfi.bly the most ser viceable anct the smartest. Of these, t he tweeds and herringbone a r e the favorites. A slip-over sweater takes the placci of the vest and suspenders, that of t he belt.
Will be the
Another highlight in fashion will doubtlessly be the variation in bush jacket.r and wind breakers of all kinds. 'l'he vogue of neckerchief will not lose its hold on t he sportman's fancy, it goes nicely with t he sport shirt craze. As for hose, a brown and a black pair a re t he most serviceable fo r both s chool and dat e wear. But brown shoes are far more popular than bla ck for all occasions.

he would give a poem th a t he h.1.d learned coming from Florida t o Kansas as he thought it very roman tic. He recited. "Before I tried the kisses I missed. After I tried. the misses I kissed, Burma Shave. He also wanted to recite a proverb and looking with forced friendliness at the imaginary Chinese he said, "Quiet cats catch the most mice." Mrs. Flutterbosom, the next speaker, gave several book reviews, one of wh ich was on "Men Incur able." A scintillating version of an interview between Sister Amy, the evangelist, and Mae West was given by Miss De Muir, the next celebrity. The Rainbow Mountain Pass was rendered without s cenery in the Chinese way. But by the realistic and lovely acting of Miss Yong, one could actually see the mountain s and snowstorms she described. To change the scene she simply walked a1·ound t he stage once. To change the cha racter she placed a fan in t ront of her face. Her husband having been killed by a g reedy war lord she conceived a method of getting revenge by killing him. Stepping to the edge of the st age she said, "Gentle listener, think not of me as bloodthirsty, I sha_l! decapitate him with one whack." The last act was entitled "Some People I Have Met." Soo Yong furnished a memora ble evening of enjoyment to all that heard her by her faultless English, grace, wit, a nd ch arm.

Mr. Brownell holds the positiorl of general coun sel to the World's Fair corporation a nd a ll legal matters dealing w ith the fair must pass through his hands. He has a s t aff of 18 lawyers working under h im and many and varied are the problems which confront them . For instance, the New York legislat ure granted them the exclus ive rights t o cert ain labels a nd these were copyr ighted. Of cour se a ll the m anufacturers want to sell W or ld's Fair something-toothbrushes, balloons, baby buggies, hamburgers , and Mr . Brownell e!l'timates that they will take in two m illion dollars f rom grants t o use the copyright ed labels. The fair expects ma ny foreign visitors, many of whom will just come over, st ay three or four days and return on the same boat. These foreigners wish t o r emain on t heir boats instead of t ak ing hotel rooms and one of Mr . Brownell's jobs was drawing up a n agreement with; t he New ·Yor k hotels t o g et their permission to this a rr angement. Time is a very importa.nt factor in t he building of the fa ir and before work was begun he wrote olit an agreement between the American Federation of Labor and the World Fair corporation.

Dr. Loder Speaks To Hygiene Pupils Roland H. Loder M. D ., graduate. of Lincoln high school and now director of the Maternal and Child Health in the Nebraska state department of health, spoke to all of the hygiene classes last week. Dr. Loder showed several films on the care of mother and child. He brought out the p oint that every child has the right to be born healthy. The charming pictur es of healthy, playing babies bro~ght "ohis " a,nd " ah's" of delight. He also used slides to show maternal and baby deaths in the state of Nebraska. There are several maternal units for demonstration purposes in Nebraska. However the state rates forty-eighth on the list for public health work. Legislation is needed tor furthering work of this kind. Dr. Loder demonstrated and explained a baby incubator. Art incubator is now in every county of Nebraska. Thirty-seven of 48 premature babies placed in these the past year in .Nebraska ha ve lived. If this saving device hadn't been used none would h ave survived. He said, "Miss Mariell Gere, probably has in · the years she has been here turned out more boys and girls into the professional and scientific fields than any other teacher." He believes that hygiene ought to be compulsory for boys also. Dr. Loder had three years of work at the University of Nebraska, four at the Northwestern University medical school in Chicago, one sear internship at the St. Lot!iS Municipal hospital and ten year's practice in the state of Nebraska, besides his maternal and child health work.

New Designs for Health Cards A new design for the pre-school health cards is the problem put before the art students. A letter stating that the school board would like to have a new design to replace the old photogra phs was received by Miss Helen Wilson. These cards are n~t the regular health ca rds, but the ones that are sent home to the pre-school children who a re about to start their schooling. This design should be done in black and white for printing, so say the specifications, and the subject should be children of the preschool age. The board would like to have two or three designs ente r ed from ea ch junior high and high school in the city.

Character has proved more important than marks, for H. C. Mardis reported t o the facult)' a t thei r meeting la st week Tuesday that he had received a letter from a not ed Los Angeles bank asking, not for the rates in grades, but for the chara ct er of a certa in boy. Pupils are rated on four important points, n a mely: honesty, dep end a bility, initiative and leadership. Mr. Ma rdis ha s found it imp erativ e that the pupils do their best to make a good record in high school, for the t ea chers write out yellow s lips every semester which tell if the person is superior or inferior in cha racter. These slips are put into files and, when the pupil la ter in life applies for a position a nd the employer a sks for references , the rating in the files is used. This Lincoln high s chool boy, applying for a position in the Los Angeles bank, will not receive it, for the files showed that he had done notl:ting superior, but always inferior. He was never dishonest, b ut he wa s not dependable and h a d no initiative which one would expect a boy, working· in a bank, to possess.

Central and South In Return Gallles Beechnerites Journey To Crete for Fracas Week From Friday; Squad at Top Form The next two weeks will see the R ed and Black basketball squad ruaking two trips; to Omaha where the team will meet Omaha Central in a return tilt on January 28 and to Crete February 3. Lincoln will play host to Omaha South in another return fracas on February 4 on the home maples. Purple-Links Battle Again. The Links encounter the strong Purple squad in the opening battle of the season when the home team suffered a 29-26 defeat at the hand of Kriss, the tall Central lad who poured in. 15 points to lead the scoring. In 1937 Lincoln trounced Central 32-22, with Sid H eld boosting 12 tallies. Again in 1938 Central was routed by the Links in the opening tilt 33 to 28, with John H ay dropping in 15 counters. In the second clash last year, Kriss led the attack with 19 points to put th e game on to an extra period, when Mussen and Ennen came through for the Beechnrites to win 36-32. The Purple squad's attack is .built around Kriss, flashy center, and Vecchio, guard. The others who will probably start are Bramson and Pommerenk, forwards, and Bosso, the other guard. Travel to Crete Friday. . One week from this Friday, the Beechnerites will jaunt to Crete for a non-conference tilt. Crete is in the mid-east conference and at present in a three way tie for first place, . having defeated Beatrice 33-32. Two seasons ago Sid Held collected nine tallies to lead the Red and. Black squad to a lone point victory, 25-24. Last year Lincoln soundly thrashed Crete to the tune of 45-11 with Al Mussen claiming 11 counters. Packer-Links Scrap Saturday. · - ·-·-· ··---- -CIOSe 26~24fi'·acaSf1-=-om the fire earlier in the season from Omaha South, the Packers a re coming to Lincoln a week from this Saturday. They will ·meet the Red and Black squad on the Whittier gymnasium maples at 8:00. In 1937 Mahacek p aced the South. squad as it handed Lincoln a 22-14 defeat. In last year's clash, the game was carried into an extra period. Again Mahacek dropped 16 points in to put the Collinsmen ahead 33-27. Perry Harris, who showed the football fans what speed and spirit he had, now is doing likewise on the maples. He holds down a forward post along with Bob Kramolish. His brother, Lew Kramolish, plays guard. Both turned in excellent performances on the gridiron this year. Montello, guard, collected 11 points when Lincoln squeezed past South earlier in the season. He has a remarkable ability to hit the hoops. The center post is held down by Sandstedt.
This weekend is a busy one for t.he sports people although the Lincoln fans will have to do some traveling to see the Red and Black boys in action. Friday night the reserves play Havelock at the engineer's maples while on Saturday night the s:ibs travel to Ulysses. Also Saturday night the first stringers travel to Omaha Central while the tanksters were to sewim Omaha Tech at their pool, but the meet has been postponed.

Eighteen Gallons Non~Skid Wax Protect Floors Eighteen galions of non-skid wax have been used on the first and second corridors. The first floor corridors have 11,784 square feet and second, 10,632 square feet. Nine gallons were used on each floor. "The wax has proved quite satisfactory and no complaints ha ve been received" stated Edwin Geistlinger, heacl custodian. It is, also, easy to sweep. If no complaints are received, the matter will be taken up with the board of education to wax all the corridors. Water will break down the surface finish of the wax and this causes the only trouble that has arisen from using the wax.

Sports Chatter In about two weeks the Lincoln high school basketball team will be sporting new basketball suits. The trunks will be black, trimmed in red and white; the jerseys will be black trimmed in red. Beechner hopes the suits will be here in time for the Omaha South game. Paul Hyland, star guard for ·the reserves, has been asked by Coach Beechner to report to the first team. Paul has helped Cy Yordy's team to win four games out of the first five starts. Tom Hyland, brother to Paul, and Charles Yule have reported to Cy Yordy for the reserves. Both are sophomores and Cy Yordy would like them to get an early start for next year. The reserves now have a squad of eighteen reporting daily for practice. Defeat by Oma ha Tech gave Lincoln high students. the blues. But worse than that, it gave Tom Rice a broken nose. According to a bird's eye view from the top row of the bleachers, one of Omaha Tech's players raised an elbow too fast in a clinch, making the Rice proboscis fairly crackle under the impact. The last five meetings of Joe Toman's indoor gymnasium c.lasses will be spent in all kinds of final tournaments. The first will be a volley ball elimination contest, with the next one · or two periods being spent in a basketball tournament. With one defeat the team is disqualified.

Helen Pierce, sophomore, corresponds with two pen pals in foreign lands. One dwells in New Zealand in a town called Riverton which was founded one hundred years ago. Irene Cloughley, a native New Zealander, was quite puzzled with our system of education, which is not surprising, for the New Zealand system is as follows: One starts to school at the age of five and spends two years in the primers, then seven years in the primaries, after which he takes an examination called Proficiency, ;Matriculation on a small scale. The passage of this examination entitles one to go to secondary school. Irene passed the test at thirteen, spent one year in high school, and then advanced to the Southland Technical college_ The enrollment of this school is 650. School begins at ten o'clock with assembly for prayers, notices for the day, and drill until the country pupils arrive at eleven ·o'clock. Holidays include a week at Easter, a fortnight in May, fortnight in August and six weeks at Christmas. Incidentally school adjourns at 4:30 o'clock. Christmas in New Zealand is quite different from that of the Uriited States. Inasmuch as their Christmas holiday comes at the beginning of summer, the people do not sing Christmas carols, and very few people have a Christmas tree. Christmas eve is usually spent buying presents or walking in the streets until twelve o'clock. Everyone spends Christmas day quietly by going on a picnic or for a drive . in the country_ The . sports indulged In . during the winter are: Basketball, golf, badminton and football. The water supply of Riverton is dependent upon rainfall which was slight, consequently creating a ·s hortage of water. Lake . Monowai, the source o.f Riverton's electricity, is low and the electricity is given out

in rational quantities . A celebration in honor of Captain Howell, founder of Riverton was given by two Maori chiefs, in the way .of a feast. A bullock and a deer were skinned while a number of large rocks were heated red hot and placed in a hole dug in the ground. Then the bullock and the deer, accompanied by potatoes covered with cabbage leaves, are rolled in a caver of wire netting placed on the hot stones and then covered by gunny sacks which in turn are covered with earth and clay. This mixture under this condition is allowed to cook tor twelve .hours, which is passed by the Maori tribe entertaining with native songs. Helen's second pen pal is a British girl who lives in Transcaal, South Africa. In the school which Pat Ennis attends, both English and Africans ar~ taught. Miss Ennis can shoot with both rifle and pistol and often goes on hunting trips in the winter months. She also holds the senior diving championship for her district. The Ennis family is served by black servants who work for five dollars a month. Jackals may be heard at night in Transcaal and out on the farm Which is near the Marica river it is necessary to carry a gun because of the danger of leopards. Pat attended a wedding of a Paramount chief who, Incidentally, wore a· top hat and tails and is a graduate of Oxford. A large majority of the people of the Mechuhanal and Protectorate are cattle thieves and even with a large number of police officers, the country is so wild that it is hard to check this thievery. Pat possesses a pet monkey. She .expressed her profound desire to see · snow, for she never in her life has seen snow. The new Ford costs 1,325 dollar,s in Transvaal, South Africa.

Reserves Upset Purple and ,Gold Playing a fast and furious game, the Lincoln Reserves upset the dope-bucket and ran over Col· lege View, 34 to 19, on the Viewmen's floor last Saturday night. Bob Chase's quintet went into the game as favorites after beating the last year Class B champions, Bethany, last week and have also boasted a winning streak of four games. This was the reserves fifth win in six games. At the opening Of the game each team felt each other out so the scoring was low, being 3 to 2 in favor of south siders at end of first period. When the second quarter started, each team played a close defensive game, but the Reserves went ahead 10 to 7 with a minute left in the first half. Keith Powell got his one-handed shots working and sank a couple of buckets to make the score 11 to 10 in favor of the Purple and Gold when the gun went off. In the third canto Stiles, Campbell and Vaughan got hot and boosted the Links score to 20, while Morrow and Powell raised the opponents' to 16 by end of quarter. Yordy's quint poured on the heat in the final period and sank seven baskets, while the Viewmen collected only three points to end the game 34 to 19. The summary: fg ft f :fg ft f l Lin . Res. Coll.

)enningl!l Sinks Five Baskets as Metheny Rice Make Six Points Apiece for the Links Edging out the Black Raiders of Sioux City East 23 to 19, gave the Red and Black of Lincoln high school the second Missouri valley win of the current conference cam· paign in the Morningside gym• nasium last Saturday night. The team broke even in a week end stand against its Sioux City con• ference rivals. It. was the first loss to a conference opponent for the Black Raiders and the defeat dropped them a notch behind their intercity rival, Sioux City Central, who dropped the Links the night before, in the league standings . The first quarter was a see-saw battle back and forth with neither team showing any particular advantage to speak of. As the quarter ended, the Links tied the count at 6 apiece. Only five points were scored in the second period as the teams jockeyed back and forth, tlie score at the end of the first half rea:d. ing, Lincoln 9, East 8. Early . in the third canto the home town boys went into the lead on a nice bucket by Hewitt Gra~ ham, but this was soon topped by one of Fred Metheny's favorite hook shots which gave the Beechnerites the lead, with which they never parted.

Bimson Completes Doctor's Thesis "Participation of School P ersonnel in Administration" is t he titie of the recently completed D octor's Dissertation of O. H . Bimson, assistant superintendent ot schools. The degree of doctor of philosophy was awarded by the University of Nebraska at the mid-yea r graduation. This is a philosophical study of the principles underlying participation on the part of all employees of boards of education in the process of school management. The fundamental thesis is that all w ho a re affected by school policies should have an opportunity to assist in determining what these p olicies are to be. Act ual participation in the building of policy will depend very largely upon the interest and ability of. the different members concerned.

Varied are the many positions in which the six honor stude nts place themselves to study their lessons. The honor students receiving all ones are: Jane Watkins, Patricia P eterson, Mildred Claire Freadrich, Dorothy Weirich, David Good and Billy Bouwsma. Jane finds she can study better while curled up in a chair. Patricia says that for her it is eas ier to lie on the floor. As for Mildred Claire it suits he r best to plump down on the davenport. Dorothy considers her favorite position curled up on the couch. David likes a half reclining and half sitting straight up for his best concentration position and Billy chooses to be comfortable only when he is leaning ba,ck in a chair to its limit. Arts and science is the course chosen by all the honor students
as the most p r ofitable of t he high school courses. Foreign languages are liked best by five of the p upils, Jane, · Billy, Dorothy, Mildred Claire and P atty , while David Good is the only one of the group to show his partiality to mathematics. An interesting feature is noted in that all 'the g roup do not put off their lessons unt il the end of the week-end so the work won't pile up on them . " Cramming" t o this group means nothing more than a good review of the highlight s of the course. The University of Nebraska will see most of these students for two years; then they all are aiming to g o to some eastern s chool if p ossible.

Team Spirit Strengthened With Organized Cheering Cooperation with cheerleaders is very essential to the spirit of both the Mam and spectators during a game. During games with schools that sen,d a small cheering section, th.e ir cheering surpasses that of Lincoln be~ cause they cooperate 1yith their cheerleaders a)ld . show their team that they are right be~ hind them.. · Lincoln high b.oasts of nearly 3,000 enrollment and turns out state champions in several sports, but at games not very many of that 3;.ooo turn out t o strengthen the team. Of the ones that do turn out, some either do not cheer or break up cheers. To students from other 11ch0ols, that lack of cooperation impresses on their minds that .Lincoln high ·lacks interest in her teams. · · There are four cheerleaders, a ll with n ew suits, and the Pepper section al ong with the band trying to rouse spirit. It is the duty oi every Lincoln spectator to cooperate with them, yell with them and not try to make them look ridiculous. If the cheerleaders tell the crowd to be quiet while a player is tryin g a freethrow, or if they tell them not to throw things on th:e fielq or pla.ying floor, such as the case may: be, or not to boo somebody, they should cooperate in these -\vays, as it adds to the spirit if they do. Linco.Jn high has the best cheering section in the state if they wi:ll cheer and cooperat e with the leaders. ·
Way,s to Discourage the Disillusioned Sophomore With the coh1ing of .the new semester it becomes quite a necessity for the juniors and seniors to cultivat.e friendships with the new 11ophomores. First, beeause sophomor es are easily . per1uaded and can be led to the wrong class by ·w ords of an always loving junior or senior. This wrong class busiliess cultivat es a kind of feeling between upper and lower classmen and is encouraged by the upperclassmen tspecially. Secondly, it is the duty of adults to look out for the "kiddies " and this deed mav b·e accomplished mor e easily when children" are new to a place. It fa always advisable to try the hostess spirit on the ''kiddies '' and since they are ne'v here; why not treat the~1 like house guests 1 A few -ivays o± doing this include; never epeak to. them if yo·.1 can help -it.; don't t ell them the. truth (they' re too y oung yet ); aliva.ys be too ~usy <loin~ something ·when you eee them commg and a1Jove all push 'em all over the pface and they '! l learn to love your court.esy. Keep this up for several weeks a.rid then 9uit. No, don't quit, became you aren \ havlng fun, but remember you 'll have tO do t hl:l same thing next September, so why noot plan your program now.
America Changes Trend Of Greeting to "Hi ·Ya, Kid" Courtesy! Webster defines it as "graceful and considerate beh~vior towards others. '' Courtesy has changed considerably in the last few yea'i's throughout the enti re countr y. In the gay 90 's a person was vet'y impolite unless he addressed a i:nan or worllan bv saying . " ~nci' " mad am '., or. "how do you • .do." ." sir Today m the fast nnd hrious streamlined America, a person is greeteC. ·by t he following: "Hi,' ' or ';Hi ya Kid! " It seems as though peop',e arc in such a big hurry that they do not ha>e time to think about what they consider small matters, such as "r courtesy." . : As for high school pupils, it must be lo-oked at in another <)fay. Many of them think it's smart to be disco1uteous, but on~ wonders what kind of position th ey will holi'., if any, in later years. Du'ring the years in high school it is a very good tim·e to hegin training on ese~f for problems to be. met in' later years and s1.relv courtesy is the one th ing th11t at som e time 0~ other will }lelp with th e high ideals a person is aiming to it.Hain. .'l'alk about courtesy allrnys hring·s up th e sub,Ject. of courtt>sy in assemblies.

Open Forum To The Editor: Should Lincoln high sch ool do a wa y with the presen t syst em of grading in favor of anot her? My answer shall be in t he affirmative and I shall strive to prove m y point. I believe the present system of grading is unfair , beca use it en- , courages t wo of the most drastic results possible-cheating and apple polishing. Some of the ex.ponents of the n egative side of m y question a re of t he opinion that the present system of g rading establishes a goal for t he pupils t o attain , but in reality it discoura ges the poor st udent and in d uces the pupil to work for a grade instead of k nowledge. This s ystem is unfair in tha t at the ·end of the semester all gra des a r e averaged together. Ta ke for exam ple t he pupil w ho does 6 w ork a t the end of the first six weeks · ap.d also .makes a 6 for the t welve w eeks grades-now in the final six w eeks t his pupil really g et s down t o work and aver ages a 1. Does this student r eceive a 1 for a f inal grade? No! He would be lucky if he was presented with al5 and the chances are that he would receive another 6. My opposition's would probably be, " If they didn't h ave grades, then t her e would · be no goal t o st rive :!'ft:, but in r eality there is much to work for. All of th e year s that are ahead of you after your graduation, your s uccess or your failur e, depend entirely. upon your education. I believe that if you go to school more or less to work for excellent grades your knowledge would n ot be retain ed as well as t he person who goes to school with an eye on t he fut ur e. Chea ting is encour aged in the upper brackets, beca use if a stµ dent is not prepa red for a lesson he is. going to attempt t o .cheat , so that a low grade won' t pull him down a point or two. Another type of grading, however, will not entirely do away wit h cheating, because there a1·e a lways those students who are nea r the failing .line who attempt t o pass the· course by illegal · methods. Apple polishing, e ven t ho it m ay be an a rt, plays an important part in some of the. pupils' grades. These pupils usually go In after school and talk about anything that pops int o their minds.

t he .s tudents and this helps to cut down their number. With the type of gr ading that I shall suggest lat er on there would be no point in apple polishing. Do grades tend to discourage the poor studen t ? · I say yes, beca use the intelligence quotient of an y t wo student s is n ever the same. The person w ith a high I. Q. does his work with little effort a nd in turn receives for hi ~ slight efforts a 1 or :l, but take for inst ance t he case 9f a nother pupil who i s not quite io fortunate. He puts all he ·has into h is st udies and still receives a 6. The latt er becomes discouraged . His parents . may not realize that h.is. learning capa city is low, and ·they wonder why he shouldn't g et as good grades a s the former . When t hey tell him about it he be· ·comes dis couraged· and t hinks, "Oh w ell, What's t he use? " Since t he pupils t ake their g rades home to t heir pa rent s for their approval, they work t o please theii par ents arid not for grades. Suming up th.ls epistle , I believe that the following system of gra ding would succeed. I believe t hat a grade termed "satisfactory" could ably t ake place of our 1, 2, 3, and 4, and that " unsatisfact or y" w ould replace t he 5 and 6, and "f ailing" would correspon d to . our 7. T his s ystem would probably please the parents, because they would still have an idea a s to wha t their chi!· d ren were doing. It would cut down the cheating in the upper bracket; pupils would study for knowledge instead <Yf. the gr ades and the re would be no <ibject in apple polish. ing. The least we could do is try it and see if it works. A Junior. To The E ditor: The ba nd n eeds new uniforms. Everyone knows that by now, but there still isri't enough money . Th e ·s uggestion has been made to have a "penny box" put up s omewhere in the school. Why ·n ot? P u pils usually have a stra y penny or two, t hat they would be glad to part with es• pecially when they k now it's go· in g for such a worthy purpose. This box could h ave a definit e p lace, say beside the office, and . every now and t hen have wha t is called "penny day" on which day pupils may contribut e. A chart placed beside the box to show the a mpunt of money collected would help draw interes t. T he success of any organization depends upon cooperat ion. T he ba nd is a wor thy one and cert ainly deserves the f ull-hearted · support of every individual i>;:..-r incoln high s chool. A "penny box',· · would definitely be of great value. A Junior.

Gazing around the halls of Lin· colri high school, Saturday, Janu• ary 28, one could notice a decided . difference In t he attir ement of the various pupils. You can alwa ys see a difference in t he way· they are dr essed, but t his d ifference was-well different. Some were wearing the u sual swea ters a nd shirts, or skirts, <Yf. t he conventional navy blue or other sombre colors, but here a nd there you would see a bright spring print, or some cool spring gar· ment that was never meant for January. Winter coats w ere su r• prisingly few a nd gloves were en · tirely for gotten. When the shock of r eceiving the semester's grade re.suits was over, pupils' though ts turned dreamily to the possibility of a sprightly game of tennis, a bike r ide, or even a q uick swim in some nice deep pool. Yes, and in J anuary, too ! ! The cause of a ll this winter madness? Old Man W inter evidently had decided to tak.e a little v.a cation, and when he wen~. away the result was as fine a spring aft ernoon as one could ask for. If you noticed someone getting hot under t he collar, the reason was not necessarily because o! grade-slip anticipation; it was be· cau_se spring had pounced upon him without giving tilne t o change gradua lly into spring attire. As the clock rolled 'round to one o'c1ock many students hat! t o blink -their ·e yes and rouse · themselves from t heir sunbaths out in the back y ard, or briefly postpone their tenn is game. · .Of course, this one glimpse ot spring might \tave broug ht on several colds when it t urned so sud· denly cold Sunday, but rieve:the· less it was a. w.e lcome change and m akes wint er more bearabl!. So we say, "Let the weat her m1n go cra:ty i f he wants to !"

Gallup Quiz Given Class Mrs. '. Bize Interviews Hist~ry Class for Polls on Farm Problems An interviewer from . the Gallup poll staff, Mrs. David Bize, made a long-awaited Visit to interview Mrs. Ruth Dodge's second period :American history 2 class, on the last day of school, last semester. The result of this interview plus Jnany more, will be published in the Successful Farming magazine next month. The Gallup poll is published weekly in 56 newspapers, all over the country. The organiza• tion also conducts polls for maga· zines or private individuals when eo commissioned. Questions on Farming. The questions of this interview were on the big industry of Ne• braska; namely, farming. While ruost of the class could not answer all of the questions, they saw how the Gallup poll takes the nation's temperature on questions of the rnoment. The r;uestions asked were not enly on farming problems, but also on religion, divorce and international affairs from the standpoint of the farmer. Some of the questions asked were: Do you beli!ive in co-operatives? Do you think the present divorce laws are about right, too strict, or too lenient? Do you think the protestant churches in your. neighborhood should be combined? Would more friendly relations with South Amerka hurt, or help you as a farmer? The class, after a discussion, felt that they would help the farmer. If you vere 65, and retired, what woul'.I you want to do; stay on the farm, move to a small city or move to a large city? The class felt that the ·farmer should go to a small city. Many Types Interviewed. As for the plXlple who are interviewed, Mrs. Bize declared that she must interv~w a designated number of average citizens and of those on relief, cne who did not vote in the last >,lection, and on this question, one negro fal'mer. The number of each type differs according to the qmstion. She does not ask the names ~f those quizzed, but is required to g(t their approxi· mate age and addnss. Mrs. Bize usuall~ gets ten bal• lots which must bt filled in and sent back in four days, but this time she received :fifteen ballots and had a longer titne to get the questions answered. She added that she usually getB one every two weeks, but during the 1936 election she received as many as four a week. When a'ked how ruany interviewers there are in Nebraska, she said she thought there were two others, one in Omaha and another in Lincoln, but she did not know them, or how many others there might be, as that information is not given out. Last Election, "How did the general populace 11tand in the last election,?" was one of the questions asked. She responded that most of those on relief voted for Roosevelt· and those in the average and wealthy classes were for the Republicans. Mri:;. Bize said that if anyone wished to give her any questions she would send them in. She had had eight published so far. Two were submitted from Mrs. Dodge's class.· 1'It usually takes me five.· hours to get my blanks. completed, and I enjoy the work very much," concluded Mrs. Bize.

Present Day Valentine -Customs Are Far Cry From !hose of the Past February 14 is rolling around again and all the love-sick young swains are debating between violets a~d a box of candy which they could help enjoy. The clever but cruel young lads and lasses are searching for comic valentines that will poke their victims in the most i susceptible spots. ·. What is Valentine's day, any..\ way? Here is one group of people ' who use it as an excuse. for tender advances and opposed to them are those who make it an occasion to take the wind out of everyone's sails. Everybody manages to get together on observing July 4 or •· December 25, but February 14 is open to nearly any interpretation. Perhaps it is because of its jumbled origin. February 14 was set as a holiday because on that day a Christian named Valentine (later sainted) was beheaded by the Roman emperor Cla udius II. Such an occasion hardly seems cause for lovemaking. February 15, however, was celebrated by the pagan Romans as the feast of Lupercalia. On this day the Ro· man boys were accustomed to draw from a large stone urn the name of the maiden to whom they were to be true for t he ensuing year. How many American boys are faithful to their Valentine for a whole y ear?' In fact, how many confine themselves to one Valen• tine?
Visitors and Pupils Cause Traffic Jam Because of the many sophomores visiting Lincoln high school, and the pupils who came to get their grade slips, traffic was a t a standstill between Twenty-first and Twenty-third on J street · Saturday afternoon. Cars parked pa rallel on obth sides of the street, a streetcar, and moving cars behind and ahead of the streetcar caused a traffic jain. One window in the streetcar was broken and there were ma ny dented fenders. The conductor tried to direct the cars out of the jam but the streetcar schedule was de· layed twenty minutes,
Representatives Postpone Sale Home l'oom representatives 0 ':1sembled for their first meeting ·.>f the semester Tuesday to receiv e instructions on selling activity tickets. At this special short meeting, Miss Esther Montgomery, sponsor, explained that since a movie was being shown at the Stuart theater during home r oom periods both Wednesday and Thursday, it was necessary to postpone initial sale of tickets until Friday~ Some representatives were assigned by Miss Montgomery to sell tickets to the sophomore home rooms which had not yet chosen their representatives. The committee in charge of the home room representatives contribution to Joy Nights met after the meeting to discuss plans further.
Hobbies Disp~ayed in Annual Show The annual city wide hobby show, to be held February 11 and · 12 is open to all students of Lincoln high school that have a hobby. The show; conducted in co-operation with the various hobby organizations, high school clubs and the Y. M. c. A. is to be held in the Y. M. C. A. building. A demonstration of the actual working ·of a n amateur radio station will be given by members of the Radiolinks. The camera club will show how to make prints from miniature camera film and the Skycrafters will have an· exhibit of model airplanes. Since groups which have mixed membership are co-operating to make the hobby show a success, girls may compete on equal terms with boys in all departmen ts. Hobbies of special interest to girls will not be opened to competition however, until some organization will sponsor that division.
it wa s the same as giving h er an engagement rin g. This was the shy person's chance to p ropose. Wh en. m ails w ere n ot yet es tab· Iis hed, t he deliverance of these love messages had a ver y inter esting line, because it showed t hat a suitor had fine class if he h a d a special m esseng er on horseback t o deliver the note with all t he pom p a nd cer emony. On t h is day, the girls stayed near h ome all day watching for t he messengers to com e. Coming closer to the present time, we see that the young f olks used t o save money all year, f or Christ mas a nd Valentine's day, to buy p resent s a nd candy h earts. The size of the heart mea nt t he great ness of the iov e it repr e· sented. Also, bouquets of flow ers in th e for m of heart s w ere sent as t he symbol of everlas ting love. Boys Receive Ribbons From Girls. Perhaps the most in teresting custom, was one in w hich the boys brought large valentines , w ith verses of their own writing, to a hall, where the girls of the comm unity ga t hered for the night. When the boy came in, h e went right to his girl, and sh e .t ied a r ibbon, t he color of her apron, around his neck, that signified no one was to br ea k in on them. A f unny backbone h as Saint Valentine's Day!
The pagan custom gradually merged with the Christian holiday and was celebrated as St. Valen· tine 's day. This Va len t ine w as not the only St. Valentine, however. Accordin g to a Germa n authority there w ere 52. One of these wa s said to be a kindly old m a n who, when confined to h is bed, sent cheering anonymous letters t o h is friends, thus originating the anonymous note now ca lled a Valentine. To him the German peasants prayed for the cure of epilepsy. In England, St. Valentine's da y was believed to begin the m ating season for birds, a fact to which both Chaucer and Sha kespea re make refer ence. Another old Eng · lish proverb st ates: "If she be a good goose, her dame well to pay, "She will lay t wo eggs on Va l· entine's day." With such a diverse origin and . so many old observances, perhaps the moon-struck and the m alicious one is justified in int erpreting the day as h e may ch oose. Cu$tl>ms of Few Years Past. In the age of our grandfathers, there were many int er esting customs in prac;tice, which are v ery unusual to us . In the seven teenth c en t ury, Valentine's day was a da y regarded as an engagement day to the colonists. It meant that if a gir l receiv ed a token on that da y,

A:bility to convert free throws Was the large factor in Lincoln's 1Jensa tional victory over Omaha South at Whittier, Saturday. The Links players were successful in 18 . of their 24 attempts fr<im the free throw line, giving them a 78 per cent average. With only a five point lead at the half, 20-15, the Links came back to stretch that margin to the convincing score of 36-21 in the 11econd . half. The team that went against South, that night, showed the promise of making its school proud of its achievements in the coming state champion's defense. Game. Marred By Fouls. The game, as it started out in the first few minutes of play, brought along with it 29 fouls, 17 of which were called on Cornie Collin's ' Packers. The Packers could come throught with only five of their attempts, giving them. a 31 per cent average. The first few minutes saw Lincoln off to a flying start with Tommy Rice coming through with all his four free throw tries, and Floyd Wilkinson's arches to give the Red and Black cagers a sub11tantial lead which was cut down quickly by Perry Harris, B. KraJnolish, and Sandstedt to a narrow 10-6 margin at the quarter. The beginning of the second quarter saw Lincoln forging ahead by virtue of free throws by Metheny, Wilkinson and Gellatly. The second period was off with a bang as Jennings, Metheny and Wilkinson potted · success.ive buckets to give the Links a 26-17 lead. The Packers scored only four times in the second half, netting them 6 points. The lead gathP.r<>d by the Links WM never threatened and the Red and Black proteges showed increasing skill in the different funda mentals of ·basketball.

Group of · Rooters Encourages Team It bas been proved by a small group of Lincoln high pupils that most Llncolnites are loyal to Coach Beechner and his quintet. Last Saturday, January 28, at the Lincoln-Omaha Central game, played at Omaha, the Lincoln group rooted for the team all the way through. The small but radiant cheering sectiott, led by Bettylee Cronn, cheered with a great deal of zest. It would be for the best \f our out-of-town cheering sections were built up, for. the boys on the t.am say that their fighting spirit is at t.he best when they are backed up. Coach Beec~er is proud of th~ spirit antl hopes it will continue.

Girls Sports Well gals, gather 'round and let's see what's going on in the Lincoln high girls sports world today. Physical ·examinations, which are being given by Dr. Ruth Warner and Dr. Grace Loveland, seem to . be the first Item on .t he program and will be continued through Wednesday. Perhaps we ought to pause here to explain to the new pupils what the three letters P . E. R. on the Program Cards stand for. It seems to be causing them .no end of worry. They represent your physical education rating. After these letters are usually found an A, B, C, D or E. A physical examination determines into which group you fall. If an A or B is received, another examination may not be needed during your residence in high school. If a C or D is received, you must be examined each semester you take work in the department. C people take restricted physical education and D people are assigned rest. E people are droped from the department for a. semester. We have been told that girls basketball starts this week. We'll have more on that in our next column. Social dancing, a class start.!d . last semester, will continue this semester: Thirty-five pupils registered last semester, which was more than were expected. Miss Grace Morgan, will teach again and she hopes more boys and girls will join. Notice of when the class will begin and where it will meet will appear in the bulletin. What we consider most amusing In the gymnasium classes, is watching Ardis Lyman poi.s e gracefully on her toes, shoot for the basket, and then tear her hair out, waiting for the ball, which calmly rolls · round and round the edge, to decide whether or not it should go in. There is a new safety course for both men and women in the Lincoln high pool, with life saving instructions given by Harold Baker, The class started Monday Janu• ary 30 and lasts till February 3, 'J.nd is being sponsored by the Red <::ross organization. That's all for now, but we'll be see;u• you next week.

Mooberry, Loetterle, And Kempkes Lead Game Crete Defense; Go Down Gallantly. Ralph Beechner's quintet came out on the long end of a 39-15 courit against Crete Friday with no member of Bob Gibb's smaller team able to connect for more than two field goals. The Red and Black team was in control of the game from start to finish. The game opened with lanky Floyd Wilkinson an.d Bill Jennings leading their tea m to a 11-4 lead at the quarter. Bob Weygint was put into the game and in him, Coach Beechner found a valuable substitute. Bob connected for three quick field goals. Tom Rice and Dick Gellatly each hit for a free throw and Fred Metheny potted two. Bill Jennings, who has hit a "hot streak" for the past four games, led the scoring parade, with three fielders, in the first h alf along with Weygint, who also potted six points. The half ended in a 21-6 rout .with Lincoln leading. Bob Williams Hits in Second. Bob "Truck" Williams was inserted into the game after the start of the second half, and hit for four points. Bob broke his glasses earlier in the evening and was hampered by his poor eyesight without them. Bob made a. credible showing for himself, "glasses or no glasses." Williams and Wilkinson led the second half scoring with eight points between them. Jennings continued cm his hot streak garnering two more points. Here Vern Loetterle of Crete personally took command of the Crete part of the scoring w·ith two successive buckets. Albert F ~empkes and Donald Redman e<cch connected for a field er whiJ,, Harold "Razz" Mooberry hit fo r a free throw. Harvey Lauer, Torr t Rice and Ditk Gellatly each p otted a field goal while. Rice a dded a free throw. It was for .the moS', '. part a cleanly fought battle with twenty-four fouls ·being called. Beechner l lses Squad of 11 . Men. The game was played in the new Butler gyhl' nasium at Crete. The Red and P ;lack ·team was a reminder of the team of 1937-1938 at Lincoln, that won the state bas· ketball cha mpionship. If they con· tinue for th ,e remainder of the season as the: '{ played at Crete, they will certai1 1ly make it "hot" for several clp ·,ss 'A' teams. Coach B· ~ echner used his entire squad cons 'isting of eleven men while Coac ;h Bobb Gibb used only seven of · his ten men. Lincoln's Fred Me.t h eny was "cold" during the whole game, collecting only three out c ,f eight free throws. Albert l ' {empkes .and Fred Metheny were , ejected from the game, each havir. •g his full quota of fouls. Donald R~ ·dman and "Razz" Mooberry eact 1 had three fouls called on them. · Mooberry, Loetterle and Kempkes · were the whole show for Bob Gibb'1 3 scrappy bunch. Several members of the Peppers were at t .he game, along with a host of L incoln fans. Jennings, Weygint, Wilkinson and Williams looked bei it for Lincoln. Wilkinson led the BC· oring with nine points. Lincoln Methen y f Williams f J ennings f Weygint f

When the bus pulled out, one player wasn't there when the basketball team was heading for a return engagement with Omaha Central. Dick Gellatly, regular guard on the Red and Black cagers, was home taking it easy, thinking that the team was to leave at 3:15 instead of 2:30 as was the case. The bus had already gone nearly ten or twelve blocks until someone wondered where Dick was. The Lincoln high school basketball squad has five loyal supporters. These five boys have made every trip the basketball team has made. They made the round trip b_y car, bus, or "on their thumbs.'' They plan to see all the games that Lincoln plays this year. They have now traveled about 550 miles and plan to travel an additional 250 miles. This loyal troupe of rooters is Forrest Bachman, Jim Critchfield, Dean Jackson, Don Lovell, and Joe Wise. Coach Beechner's basketball team was somewhat disabled for the Omaha Central ga me though few knew it. Fred Metheny was still a bit wobbly after being very , ill prior to the game and Tom Rice was hampered by a "charley horse" in his leg. Both boys played horse" in his leg. ·

Rob· ert Campbell's sterling play at forward was cine of the bright spots in the game.

Lincoln ·was ahead 22 to 14 after four events and it was not until an upset saw . Tech taking the 150 yard-medley relay, next . to last event, that the victory was safe. Tilley went nearly a second under the state record to give · Tech the 100 yard breastst~oke. Tilley was also a winner ip. a three-way diving contest. The best race was the 50 yard dash.

European·· Politics Affect Enrollment For Languages
3 Additions To Linlis Staff Guenzel, McClary and '} Lillian Wind Added • 1
,
Political developments in Europe, decreased trade with foreign countries and shifts in enrollment are altering high school demands for foreign language C'lurses, according to a compilation which appeared in the Chicago Tribune, is· sued recently by William H. John· son, superintendent Of schools in Chicago. The report showed a decrease of 17.08 per cent in ~nrollment ·in classes in German, •27.89 per cent decrease in Polish classes, 18.69 per cent decrease h Spanish, 9.81 per cent decreas" .n ~talian and 8.53 per cent decre? .<e in French. "Enrollment in fo:·eign language c~urses has been dropping off for •ral years," Mr. Johnson commented. "Before the depression pupils were told they must study foreign languages to enter commercial fields. · Since then, foreign rade has decreaserl because of a neral decrease in trade and because of developments in European countries."
Three more Lincoln high have been se cted for Links staff for this y, ar's publication. In addition to iles Philip, Billy rthella Peterson, Martin and Mary Helen Bus · illian Wind, Elwyn McClary, Robert Guenzel will comprise additions the new Links staff. They were chosen by the Links board. Lillian Wind, "Who will have charge of publications, is a former Advocate staff member, member of chemistry club, G. A. A. and the Girl Reserves.
The report shov:~d an increase of .27 per cent in the study of English, which is in accordance with school attendance. The 18.63 per cent of increase in the study of Bohemian is large, but the number remains small. Only 381 pupils were enrolled last l<'ebruary. The increase in the study of Hebrew is a reflection of the attitude of many Jewish families. Jewish children in elementary schools are required, by their parents, in many instances, to study Hebrew two or three days a week after school hours. This is gradually being reflected in a cemand for high school courses. In September, 1936, there were no courses in Hebrew.

Open Forum To the Editor: Last week there appeared in the Forum a ietter signed "A Junior," criti~izing the method Of grading Which is now used in Lincoln high school. I il.g.i't.e) that this system is not a perfect ' cine and has many disadvantag~s, both to teacher and to students. Yet this method has so many advar1fag.es that its shortcomings are completely outnurn· be red. It h.as been said that the present method encourages students to work for gractes rat~han know.· ledge. . What~· a gr , anyway, if it is not a e t of at is n huknowledge? I sa manly possibl o obtain good tly without acwledge the
Placed it in a chair he did,'. ·Then laughed with devilish glee, Placed it in the old arm chair Under the trysting tree. Nor thought of Mary's lover Who came each night to woo, Nor thought they'd take .a walk . As lovers often do. Tlie even drew on. The lover came; They sought the trysting tree; Where has the cactus gone? 'the lover, where is he?
ecom future mere! ate goal has been r oved. As for cheat~g~o matter what the method or \li'w fine the students ate, there will always he those among them who will obtain their grades dishonestly. Th.e system of grading will not eliminate this evil. The opportunities are in no way lessened after the removal of the seven point scale, because thOse who had to cheat .before will not stop now. The statement was also made .. that the present method does not take mental ability into consideration. The work in the classe's has been planned for the average students, riot the seven percent above normal nor the seven percent be. low. The large majority are considered able to do the work and the class is graded in relation to them. The fact still remains that, even though they were graded as sii.tisfactory, unsatisfactory or failing, the quality of the work 'would be in no way changed. If tliere are any changes that can be made which will benefit Lincoln high, then these should certainly be effected. But I ca!! see no reason for bringing about changes which cannot b<.i of any P()Sitlve vali:e _ .tX;i.ine .Rosenblum. To The Editor: Since the shoiving of the making of a constitution at the Stuart theater in the form of a movie; the pupils of Lincoln high have been seeing their histOry in a different light and a bit more interesting. I think these presentations of education or othei'Wise in the form of movie ~rii very good because pupils will remerr\ ber what they see far more than they will with reading something.

Thrills, romance and adventure! Here are two fascinating books no' one could resist liking. Nothing is more thrilling yet terrifying than the life of a spy. Such is the tale of the spy who danced her way to death. "The Spy who Danced Her Way to D~~th," is the true story of Mata'"'Hari found in the book, "Spies," by Joseph Gollomb. Mata Hari was of Dutch birth and a spy for Germany. With her bewitch· Jpg beauty and sinister powers shl• caused the downfall and deatil of whole armies. She danced 'and used her fan in giving signs to a fellow spy. Thus by moving her fan a certain way she caused a French transport of troops tQ. sink to the bottom of the ocean near the coast of Morocco . One of the sLrangeat tales and the most fascinating figurEl_s in ~~' ~ gallery of spies who made histry is Chevalier d' Eon. •• For many years Europe agreed as to the fact wheth Chevalier was a man 014 when he was small. blond with blue eyes complexion. \ D' Eon first became · a lawyer but this life was to uiet for him. At length he beca a spy for pa: ed d' Eou Louis XV. As ti luable to

D' ~on_ ~Nll ucd t.o._kee;p UP t~e mystery oy appcarmg m public dressed as ,; woman. At eighty he died in poverty, a slight old gentleman with a red nose. Thus ends the story of "The Spy who Blackmailed a King." 4mong this collection is the sad story·- of Volney Becker. Volr,tey, an Irish sailorboy, was on a ship bOund for a city in San Domingo. l:iis father was also on board. A lfttle girl, daughter of a rich American on board, slipped away from her nurse one day. The child /NaS thrown over the side of the vessel into the sea by a sudden heaving of the ship. Volney's -" father, the first to see the accident, leaped into the l rough waters to , save the girl. Jus.t as he caught the child by her dress and was swimming in the direction of the . ship, a large shark came swiftly toward him. Everyone on deck became confused and excitedly shouted advice. The monstrous animal, lashing the S'3 with his t ail, opened his frightfuF jaws to seize h}s prey. •. At this terrible instant, what strong rnen fearefi to do , a small boy did. Little Volney armed with a sharp sword threw himself into the water. He dived under the animal and stabbed the sword into its body. The boy's father and the little American girl were saved but the combat was tOo unequal, Jtt least one life must be sacrificed. So this young sailor, who so well deserved a better fate, perished at the age of twelve years.

After nine straight wins, the Cathedral Bluebirds met defeat at the hands of the Lincoln Reserves, on Tuesday, February 7, at the C. Y. 0. gymnasium. The reserves win was to the tune of 2316. The Red and Black, led 15-11 at halftime.
Lincoln reserves kept on the rampage by trimming Bennett high school 28 to 18 at the Ben· nett gymnasium -Friday. The reserves were hampered by the small playing court and the low ceiling of the gymnasium. They led at the half 18 to 5. Joe O'Connor and Bob Camp were the chief factors in the and Black · offense
Cam1>bell, Vauglian Connect ..
Coach Kermit Yetter's quintet fought gallantly but were outclassed by the flashy reserve team. Forwards Bob Campbell and Lawrence Vaughan collected fiftee1i points between them. Willie was the only Cathedral mainstay. Although Paul Hyland could garner only two points, he held Reese, the Bluebirds' scoring wizard, to three points. The Cathedral team had the edge in free throws over John 'Cy' Yordy's gang, by sinking six out of eleven chances. The reserves camped on the Bluebird's tail~ from the start to finish, allowing them only fi".e five field goals. The Red and Black hit just twiCe as many, Hyland's work of guarding Reese was the bright spot of the game. Sal Lacoco, exponent of the long shot, missed all of his chances from the playing court but hjt seventy-five percent of his free throws. Willie collected six points during the game, and he, along with Reese and. Lacoco, was about all Cathedral had to offer in the way of opposition to the reserves. James "Step" Jones, has. three fouls. called on him in the first. half and didn't have much of a chance in the second half. Hyland, Campbell and Vaughan were the best for the invaders from Lincoln high. Summary: Lincoln

Sophomoref, junior and senior boys are having pleasure in swimming after school in the Lil1lcoln high school tank. Classes are conducted by Joe Toman. The boys learn how to swim correctly, how to dive, make turns ·and how to participate in swimming meets. Most of the boys know how to swim before they enter the class, but their style is cramped. Joe gives them personal advice, and they soon learn how to glide through the water. Four teams have emerged from the twenty-eight beginners now splashing in Joe Toman's after school swiming class. The captains of the teams will arrange meets in which water polo and push ball will be the main events. There will be some diving. Ralph Beechner has foun~ a new game for the "_;,.." team basketball players which has · won every player's o. k. It is called basketball golf.

Fred Metheny, captain of the Red and Black cagers this season, and leader of the scorers, appears to be a great factor in Lincoln's string of wins. Fred weighs around o n e hundred and sixty-eight pounds and is 5 feet 11 inches tall. He has the record of being able to outjump anyone on the squad up to date despite the fact that Floyd Wilkinson a teammate soars 6·feet 4 inches in the air. • Bill Jennings, another fo~~ lnd second leading score~!-)ld~ most of his points in the-last three or four games. BHI has the idea that the new sJJit, which happens to have th~/number ''13" on it, is the maiJYfactor. Bill, who is just a juniorr;'has one more year of ba.sketbaU along with two of baseball and one of football. Lissen my cbilluns, an' you will hear, The loudest yell throughout the year.

Havelock Reserves Trim Link Sophs
Corner
A hot Havelock Reserve team trimmed the Lincoln sophomores Friday night, 22 to 13. The Shoptowners were led by N~ and McKinney who gained (2,A>oints apiece, displaying the better basket eyes and repeatedly taking the ball away from the taller Lincoln boys. Schreiner and Dworak were all Lincoln · had to offer. The sophomores have won four and lost four games. After a week's lay off, Frank Mueller has started the after-school basketball league for the second semester. Mr. Mueller is also rounding out his sophomore team which was a very good team last year. This team is picked by him from the after-school quintets that play at least three times a week. Hampton Williams, sophomore, and Bob McCracken, junior, have given the squad more confidence which they will need in their coming .games.
A few more weeks will see the fltate basketball championship tournament get under way and with the crowning of the winni>r, whom we hope will be the same as last year, the basketball season will b<i at an end and spring sports Will be upon us. SE!'Veral boys interested in track have already reported to Coach John 'Cy' Yordy and are working out at the University of Nebraska stadium. Unfortunately, the baseball prospects must wait until after-school basketball is over bP,fore starting indoor workouts in the boys gymnasium. The team of two years ago set Up an impressive record for future Lincoln teams to shoot at. The incentive to surpass that record plus the announcement that. the University of Nebraska will this year sponsor a state championship baseball tournament, should bring out many more candidates than in the past. With all positions wide open, we should have candidates three deep at every position. Frank Mueller.

Speed and accuarte shooting was York's main advantage. Ted Green the hottest basket shooter and ballhandler the Links have ever seen, was the mainstay of the York team. Green was an excellent ball handler and gave the crowd a real thrill with his excel· lent floor play. He, besiqes collecting 19 points for himself, held Lincoln's big Floyd Wilkinson to eight points which was the high for the Lincoln scorers. Game.
Diminutive Abbie Klein and Warren Mi!l~r were the leading scorers for Lmcoln. Between them, they collected twelve points. Goble was the Bluebirds' whole show, garnering seven points. The main feature of the game was the shooting and pasing of the Lincoln team. Klein and Miller had their "basket eye" aithey both gave an exhibition o ·. ancy dribbling and shooting. Go · potted three fielders from m -court and collected one free throw. The Cathedral seconds got off to an "early two-point lead, but after Robert True hit a set-up, the Red and Black were never on the tail end of the score.

Girls Sports Greetings "Sportettes." Br-r-r. We are coming to you between shivers, with a castinet accompaniment of clicking teeth. Old man weather is so fickle. Right now, it's perfect for sleighing and yet again, when you read this, it may be warm enough to go without coats. (That's a bit far-fetched, but it serves as a good illustration of the extremes.) 'Snuff about the weather, let's turn to sports. (This is another example of extremes.) We wish to congratulate Betty Jane Kohout, Miss Lillian Story's assistant in first period physical education classes, Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays, for her cool alertness in aiding an advanced swimmer to the edge of the pool, when the latter attempted to swallow it up. Incidents like these make us realize what reliable and able assistants we have! Last week we promised more about after school basketball. The girls have been playing some interclass tournaments. You know, juni~rs against seniors. Frances Neuenschwander is the student assistant and Merriam Mann is the G. A. A. basketball sport leader. Beith are active and excellent players. This group plays every Monday and Wednesday. A new system of checking valuables has been put to use in tha girls gymnasium classes. When ·a girl checks her purse or valuablt!s in, they are plac~· a smal dividual cubby-Jy>l , nd the rl i presented with a g on . hich appears a nu t or onding to the number in ich h r things are, put. be worn on the arm or a ming and playing. girl wishes to redee tier belongings, she must show her check. If this is lost, she must wait until everyone has claimed her thing~ and then she must identify her owri. This system insures the safety of valuables and prevents mix-ups. It seems to be working very well.

"I think t he city of Lincoln is an excellent place to live, although I do miss the mountains of my former · home in Missoula, Mon· tana," said Harold Swan, former editor of the Konah, Missoula county high school paper, and new arrival at Lincoln high school. recently, .in an interview. "I also find Lincoln high school excellent, although it is quite a bit larger than my former school which h ad an enrollment of 1,500 pupils, " continued Harold. The one criticism he did make of Lin· coln high was the scarcity of dances. " In Missoula high school there are six periods a day, and if il. student wants to have a ..seventh he may. Chemist ry in this high school is taught differently and there are also sociology courses in that school," Harold said. He modestly declined to admit that he is considered an A-1 j our· nalism student in Northwestern university where he took a sum· mer school course in that subject, working with Kathryn Park, 'of Lincoln . Harold was not eligible for the Advocate staff because he already has two s emesters of journalism to his credit.

Dance of Indians To Enter White Men's Ballrooms The Muckleshoot Stomp, an original dance from the Muckleshoot Indians of the White River reser va tion, adapted by Robert H ager, physical education super· visor, has been introduced in Tacoma's p ublic schools. It can be used on the white man's dance floor. There are eight different dance steps and it m ight, in his opinion, displace the Lambeth Walk. " One couple can clo the dance as in the Lambeth Walk but the more the merrier, " says Hager. "It is the first Indian dance adapted to social use. It has a simple but fascinating rhythm, danced to 4-4 time. If the dance is done cor· rectly it will take the Jitterbugs like a storm." The eight different dance steps include: wounded eagle stomp, rabbit a nd squaw sidesteps, lame d uck turn, black foot buck, rat tlesnake glide and war dance break. So, all of you jitterbugs of L. H . S. wishing to learn this dance, send a .letter t o the Tacoma News Tribune. They are running pict ures in their newspaper of ·t he dance steps with R. Hager himself, in full Indian dress.

Washington an example To American Youth George Washington, the hero of American independence and the " father of his country. " as he has long been called, was born at Bridge Creek, Virginia, February 22, 1732, exactly 207 years ag·o. Little is known of his childhood, though various stories have gathered about his name, some of them possibly based upon fact. He appears to have been a strong, healthy boy, quiet apd thoughtful beyond his age, not brilliant as a student, but with the qualities of a man of action. He was a man of great destiny. History presents us with few eharacters so worthy of our admiration and esteem as George Washington. His mental gifts wHe not of dazzling kind nor were his talenti, of the brilliant order, yet he possessed the e~'sen tials of wisdom in a hig·h degree, his po,vers and traits of character being so finely pro.por'0ned and adjusted and so firmly controlled ~. heroic \vill and high moral faculty·, as ''" hh11 to withstand disaster, to r 1eject ·. ;ngs of ambition, and to rw ~ the 0 his way moved b.. · ·~ as•mote the hapni• rity . --

Fair Standards .Act Unfair To High School Pupils
"Haste makes waste" is an old prove~·b preached by conservative parents to sons that acted without thinking. In Lincoln high many accidents have occurred on the stairwells because somebody wanted to get someplace else without any scruples about his speed and that somebody finds himself with a cracked arm or rib as a result. Student council members have been posted on stairwells to preserve safety but many of the pupils disregard their efforts. When going to athletic contests out of town, students have a tendency to speed and consider it an insult to their pride if asked by the principal or· a law enforcement officer to consider the rights of others. Remember something· (lone with precision equals many things done haphazardly.

Lincoln High Students Have Tendency to Hurry
Why, just why, should the llAs rule over the 12Bs in t he matter of class officers. Even t hough they do domina.te us in numbers, the i2Bs should get a little ac· knowledgment that they are seniors. The 12Bs actually aren't seniors as they aren't admitted int o any senior activities. In the Olympics the 12Bs can't fight for t he seniors, no they must be juniors while the January graduates may come back and enter into the fight alt hough t hey no longer take par t in school activities. The 12B class has many pupils worthy of recognition both in athletics and scholarship so why not give them a cham:e to show themselves and not just to be lorded over by a bunch ·of HA juniors. Why not keep them in their r espective grades, such as llBs and 11As a s jur: lors, and 12Bs and 12As as seniors and give the 12Bs some acknowledgment that they have been here a semester longer and have worked hard to achiev e the place of a senior. A so called 12B senior. 12B Senior : As editor .of t his column the only answer I can see is for the class officers and sponsors of the class of '40 to get together and work out a solution. A plan will be of· fered by th·' .~ dvocat e in the next issue. The E d itor. Advocate: Will it be possible for Lincoln high school students to go to any of the state basketball to urnamen t games? A Student. Lincoln high does not play any of its tournament games during the day and no pupils will be excused to attend games played by other schools during school hours. When Lincoln high school r eceives t he tournament tickets, they will be sold in t he corridors. Last year they sold for $1.00, as yet the prices for this year have not been received'. To the Editor: In a bulletin from the office last week, there was an announcement of the accident of a street car win· dow being shattered by the thro w · ing of snowballs.

App:reciation Concert Given For Junior High Pupils The Lincoln Symphony Orchestra r ecently presented an appreciation concert for the junior high and members of the orchestras of the high schools. They played some of the better known works of t he more modern composers. The Stuart theater at which it was presented was filled to capacity by the young people from the various schools. It seems that the younger pupils of our school system observe and enjoy the concerts more than many of the older ones. The older pupils seem to feel t hat an orchestra such as the Lincoln Symphony will play the kind of music that they can not understand and therefore they do not try to appreciate it to the ir individual capacity. Tt seems that if more attention were given to this sort of thing in our schools that all of the people going· tn concerts would en.ioy them mol'e hecaul'e nf less anfl leRs r] istur-hance from the unappreciat iYe p eople in the audience.
Revival of t he George Washing· t on peruke is becoming a very :fashionable hairdress for feminine America. Curls, long or short, are tied at the nape of the neck with bows of ribbon. Small bows are suggested for daytime wear, while large bows, with or without long streamers, are parucularly alluring for evening wear. Many new sailor and bonnet-type hats for spring have ribbons OT veil stream· e rs which can be tied into a ttr ac· tive bows around the hair suggesting this style. Not only have hair styles gone back to the olden days, but also styles in dresses. This season m a n y young debs are wearing f ormal dresses w ith hoop skirts similar t o those worn by Martha Washing· ton. There seems to be ·a little trouble where transportation is concerned. The trouble is getting in and out of the car. Long agq t he ladies rode in carriages that were large and roomy but today automobiles aren't quite large enough for t he hoop skirts. What is to be done? Are car doors go· ing to be made bigger 6r are girls going to give up Martha Wash· ington and her hoop skirts? Spring was supposed t o be just around the corner, but it seems old man winter just had to· stick out his face once more and leave behind him a blanket of snow. This always means skating, bob sled parties, sleigh rides and skiing. The question is "what to wear on these .occasions." Ski pants and a jacket make an ideal outfit. If it is not too cold, a full s wing skirt looks exceptionally well on the skating rink. The mittens are very gay and bright. The soft furry ones are very much in style and keep the hands nice and warm. Brightly colored ha ndkerchiefs worn on the head are seen everywhere. A stocking cap wit h a scarf to match is a very pleasing combination. And have you noticed the little bells that t he gir ls are wearing? T hey can be worn on the mittens, skating stockings or even in your hair if you like. They jingle with every move you make, and add much to the spirit of the season.
Senior Escort Gives Good Advice To Girls on How to Act on a' Date' Girls, read this carefully a n d take heed. There have been innumerable articles written to boys on h ow to g!Ct dates and how to keep them, but the girls have bee!'l sadly neglected. Why, I don't know, because ther e are plenty of them that could take some advice and put it to s ome good use. R easons why one girl's phone is always ringing and she goes every place and other g irls go no plac':l are so simple that most girls overlook them. A boy likes to hav':l others envy his choice of girls, and he feels that if he spends money on an even ing's fun, his date should be attractive for the occasion. Men are qu ick to resent laxity on the part of a girl, often treat carelessness as a slap in the f ace. Charm is a girl 's most valuable asset; it can be express ed by careful attention to app earance and appearances. The girl who lookii like her escort t hinks she should and acts in a way to make h im proud of her, n ever lacks an es· corf!_ Do your dressing in your boudoir to keep your allure. Ee ready t o go when your date arrives; don't keep him waiting. Greet him with a smile. B oys don't like a gir l who borrows their handkerchief s and smudges them with lipstick. Make-up in privacy, not where he can see you. Don't sit in awkward positions and never look bored, even if you are. Be alert, and if you must chew g u m (not advised ) , do it s ilently, mouth closed. Careless girls never appeal to g entlemen. Don't talk while danc· ing, for when a boy dances he wents to d a nce. Don't be s entimental or t ry t o get h im to say
something he doesn't want to by working on h is emotions. Boys. don't like tears, especially in public. Don 't be familiar with other fellows, talking about the fun you had with someone else another time. Boys deserve and desire · your entire a t t ention. Don't talk about clothes or try to describe your new gown to a boy. .,Please f latter your date by tal king about the things h e wan ts to t alk about. Most girls make it a practice to collect t hings such as t ie clasps, r ings, pins, watch charms.

Pupils of the Isaac C. E lston senior high school in Michigan City, Indiana, a ccording to the Crimson Comet, are being fingerprinted by the state p olice. Each pupil fingerprinted will be given a small identification card to carry w ith h im. The Spotligh t of Central high school, Fort Wayne, Indiana, tells that while a quiz w as in t he offing i n a journalism class, the teacher courteously turned the radio on at the request of a pupil. A swing music program formed the back· ground for the unusual exper iment which followed. The results : the grades were two per cent better (as a result of the swing m usic? ). In the Cent ral high school of Evansville, I ndiana , t he grade r e• ceiving sys tem was changed.

To t he explorer or traveler w ith a love of primitive nature j ust as God made it, the veldts· and jungles of Afirca extend an a llure that ever beckons a speedy return. Africa-the land of dark jungles, filled with t he haunting cries of wild a nima ls, the. fragrance of tropical f lowers, teeming with colorful insect s and birds . No one with a liking for animals, adven ture, or a good tale should m iss this book, "Jung le P ortra its", by Delia L. Akeley. Mrs. Akeley, without w hite com· panions, goes into the jungles in the heart of t he Congo and lives a m ong those strange, shy little people, the Pigmies, the least known of all African tribes. The following is only one of the inter· est ing and amusing incidents in her book. One evening t he Sultan of the Pigmy v illage became very angry a t his wife because she dropped into the fire the piece of m eat she was toast ing for h im. He knocked her on the ground. Just as he was about to pounce upon the poor thing again, Mrs. Akeley, without thinking, shouted at the ragi ng m an. He lea ped over his fallen wife and w ith r a ge-filled eyes faced her. Tensely the whole vil· lage crowded about, with spea rs and k n ives held tightly. Suddenly Mrs. Akeley's sense of h u mor came to her aid. Sh e be· gan to laugh. The Su ltan r elaxed and after staring at her for few s econds he t urned and sat dow11. In a few minutes Mrs. Akeley of· fer ed him a cigarette. His m ot>d became as p leasant as sunshine after· a spring show er.

Magic Draws
BoystoHi-Y Memory Tricks Used To Amuse Audience; Party Plans Made Magic was the word that gathered many new and old members of the Hi-Y at the annual membership banquet last Tuesday. Al Ashworth, Pontiac salesman, played Houdini for the meeting and kept the members attentive throughout. Mr. Ashworth performed many unusual tricks, both cards and those of the general type, which aroused the speculations of all, trying to catch the magician on his own grounds. Has Good Memory .. He is probably most noted in magician circles for his retaining memory. Given names of commonplace things by different spectators, he remembers them in order, either backward or forward an.d he can tell, when given a certain name, what came before ancl after the specified word . Says Pants for Trousers. Mr. Ashworth was given 35 or 4'0 names to remember and his only near mistake was saying pants instead of trousers. He holds a record as he has remembered 865 names at one time. Accordionists Entertain. Harold Pierson and Ray Harriaon took turns playing the accordion and accompanying each other on .the piano. They played several popular numbers and the Nebraska fighting song, ending with an old Lincoln high song during which the members lent their lusty voices. Party in Near Future.

Home Room 326A Turns Wanderer Students of home room 326 A are looking a bit confused lately. This is explained by the fact that they are moved from their own home room , 326, to t he a uditorium toward the end of the s econd week of the semester, only to go to the library for morning roll call the next week. However, they were assigned seats in the chemistry laboratory for the Tuesday following.

During the last three years that the Lincoln high swimming teams has swum ·against Omaha Tech in duel meets, Tech has won two and Lin.c oin has won three. Before Tech ·was beaten by Lincoin in 1.936 they had compiled a winning streak of twenty-six consecutive wins. Tech swimmer s In all their history had been beaten only twice before their lone defeat in 1937. At the Maroon pool every night after schol 75 boys worked out for the Tech team as compared wit h twenty to twenty-five boys which work out regularly as the Red and Black squad. The state meet is always the most important meet of the year and always t he hardest meet to win. Lincoln hig h has in previous state meets won five out of the eight event~ a.n d still lost the .meet. Joe Toma n, Lincoln high's swimming coach, hopes tha t the reserve power on this year's squad may lead to a victory.
Bob "Truck" Williams, basketball and baseball sportsman, will not participate in baseball this spring. Bad eyes is the reason for "Truck's" not reporting. "Truck" is a good second basem an and an exceptionally good hitter. He has played with the Lincoln Blues the past two seasons.

Swimmers Find Fellow Sufferer Following Loss Lincoln high swimmers are not alone in mourning their defeat by T ech high F ebruary 4. They have a fellow.sufferer, Robert P hipps o! the World Herald sports staff. According to an article in the Omaha World H erald, Phipps wrote some time ago, that "certain members of the Tech splash corps were loafing on the job, withholding talents t hat could be developed for the greater glory of the s ch ool." The offended proteges of Cal Hubbard prot~sted t hat he was wrong and demanded an apology. Phipps casually dismissed the complaint saying he would have to be shown ·· and that h e would eat his words if in error. The Tech mermen decided they would defeat Lincoln high in t he ineet Saturday and prove that they h a d what it · :akes. In the Tech dressing room after the victory, Phipps was h anded a dipping of his story by the irate defendants. Phipps, realizing h is precarious position, promptly took the offending clipping and started to chew. The Unbelieving boys r a n after a flashlight. After due inspection of Phlpp 's mouth, they decided he had r eally eaten the clipping.

Former Advocate Writers Return To Find Lincoln a Changed City "Lincoln has changed g reatly,'' comment ed both Carolyn Reed. class of 1915, and Merrill Reed, class of 1911, in th eir recent vi::iit to Lincoln. "Wh en I wa s in the universit y. it was small enough t o .have an iron fence enclosing it and you felt t hat it was just a big back yard," Carolyn added. As a h igh school pupil, Misr; R eed was interested mainly in music anu jour n alism, working as a reporter on the Advocate. She is now p ursuing her musical ambitions, as super intendent of m usic in the Los A ngeles public schools. I n unive rsity, both Carolyn and Mer r il .R eed served as editors of the Daily Nebraskan , the onl y brother a nd s ister ever t o be edit ors. While in Lincoln high s chool, Merrill was also inclined t o jour·
nalism , a nd served· as editor of the Advocate for one s em es ter. He is new employed by a larg e advertising fi rm in New York . Mr . Reed rel ated a humorous incident wh ich occurred to them as he a nd Carolyn made a t our through t he newspa per files at the university. He was walking through the room and looking up different issues of the Nebraskan , and some students standing by , asked him who he was and w hat he wanted. He mentioned t he fact that bot h he and Carolyn were editors of the Daily Nebras kan in their da ys, but it made no impres· sion on the minds of those green report ers. "Evidently t hey couldn't see fl story in it," he said laug hing. N either Carolyn nor Merrill had been back for many years . They came beca use of t he deat h of t he ir m other, Mrs . A. A . Reed.

Nebraska Celebrates SeventyySecond Birthday • • On March 1, 1867, President Johnson's proclamation a state. Todav we ohscn·e the seventy-second anniversary .. of .l\ebra::;ka's statehoocl. Some of the difficulties encountered in organizing the state are a part of the early l'ecorcls. In 1864 Congress passed the enabling net which meant that the J\ebraslrnns might have a state as ·soon as they desired. WllPn the meml:>ers met that vital day the anti-state party triurnphed over the dclegatrs of the pro-staters by a Yote of ili:i to 7. In 18;)4 the territory 'of .Nebraska was fo·c times the present size. By 1864 it had been reduced to the· general proportions of today. Another election was held two years after the first failure , the majority in favor of statehood being a lnere one hundred. January 17, a special dispatch cheered th.e hearts of those who \Yere anticipating Xebraska 's becoming a stn te. Lincoln, the capital city of the state, is the home of the Nebraska state universitv which claims the highest per cent of student's from its own state. and Nehl'aska has long st0od fir-st i11 the Union ris lh e ]nwest in net· C' qt. ,,.~ i.l!ihTan• . .

Pupil Sug,qests Cleaning Of Snow-Bound Streets • • Dnring· the recent winter we~ther them have been -some very bad traffic jams on J s1Teet, because of heavy snow on both sides of the street near the c11rh. It is quite reasonable to see that cars stopping to load and unload passengers 011 both sides of the street, and a strert e;ir in the middle, are going to hinder traffic from moving considerably. J street is a very busy Rtreet, especially when pupils are going to and from sc.:hool. It seems no mor-e than right that th e city should clean off this street, so that traffic jams may be avoided. According to the law the cars are not to park on both sicl"es of the stl'eet. hut nre to keep traffic moving. This is utterly impossible when the streets are in the condition J street has been in during the winter. It is quite evident that sooner or later this problem will have to he faced, and there is no time like the present. It should certainly be taken care of when another snO"w storm r·nmes along, or a serious accident may be caused.
Readers Digest Says Denver School Is I deal • • For Those Wl10 'Vish To Ije11rn ~. On the front of a shabby old building in Denver is the inscription, ":F;or All Who Wish To Learn.'' One of the most amazing schools in the world is Denver 's Opportunity School, according to an article in the Reade1· 's Dig·est. This school has no rules, no grades, no admis. sion requirements. and no diplomas. The Opportuni.ty School is a part of the Denver public school system. There are no re· quired subjects, no specified length of course; Ji.ere anyone may come to study the one thing they wish to learn. There was the old woman who wished to learn millincrv. She entered the millinery class and now is" making her living at that work. Here came the little old lady who had been practical all her life and 110w wanted to leal'n something useless. The subject that she took up . was algebra.. To this school came the unruly boy who said he wouldn't go to school; he saw the interesting machines and asked to stay. There is a class for girls who are about to be married; one beginner's Englisl1, in pub!ic speaking; and scores of other useful and mteresting subjects. If this school is a good thing for Denver ,wl1y wonldn 't it h e a goo(l tl1ing for enry large eity in the rnited States?
We wish to announce that in the future, this colyumm will be written in the fil·st per· son plural-in other words, the 'editorial we'. This is because peopk have asked for it, and it's easier to write. (Besides, it looks a lot more important.) Betty MacMillan had a piece of blue cloth the other day about ten inches square. She said it was her new dress, neglecting to mention the fact that it was merely the part she had cut for a sleeve. Masterpiece of under statement: Curtis Knudson, coming back from luneh just ten minutes late, "Oh, I must have miscalculated the time a little.'' Virginia (Dinnie) Selby, being- the timid type, and finding she had to walk home at one-thirty in the morning, started bravely out, walking down the middle of the street, with a baseball bat over her shoulder! Miss Sprung could get a position in radio imitating an Italian immigrant any time she wanted to, judging by the article she read in ]1 et' :F'rcnch classes the other day (George Washington's birthday). It was an immigrant's version of the Cherry Tree story. It ended, ''and a george 's pappa, he wasa so happ' he tooka leetlea Georgea downa to Walla Street.a, an' madea heem president of the United Statesa. '' The acme of something or other was reached when Art Rangeler, a star member o:f. Hie "'Vear 'Em Shorter" club, the membership of which consists of Rangeler, Booty Heehm, Elmer Maser, Ralph Pitzen, showed up with a tie only four inches long (knot included). Don Tucker waR heard to ~.ay, ''A street car is something that if you miss you don't get there as soon as if.'' '' J ecpcrs Creepers,'' I know ''This Can't Be Love" because "I Have Eyes" and I can see tliat you 're just "A Sweet Little Head· ache,'' but ''Between a Kiss and a Sig·h '' let's take .time out for "'l'ea for Two" and "Stop and H.econsider" before I must. "Get Out of Town." I know that "Annabelle" and "Jos· ephine" conlC! never compare with yon h.e· cause vou will always be ''The Only Star m 1\Jv Biue Heaven" but before I go I would like to say "Thanks for Everything'." . The other day during lunch period a certain foot.ball letterman said to a certain swimming lcttcr1ilan "You guys are a hunch. of sissies. You don't nm any chance of gcttrn g hurt swimming.'' Bobbie Gillaspie popped up, "Xo. but you can drown". Why d~esn 't somebody tell the geniuses in chemistry lab' to lay off the stenching chem· icals? Fmmv si:.rht :.

Ferdinand Introducing "Ferdinand", just a bully little eolumn. First thing I '11 do so you won't get me wro1w is to !!'.ive You a definition of this col· mnn ( 110 Fer~lina1~d). $(<andal: Something you've !>uspeeted all the time about somebody of whom you'd never 1iaYf' thought it. Roaming around the halls, I foundConnie Rathburn thinking dreamily of those Jackson high haskethall players. . Patsy Cole getting up that after 'school bridge foursome . . . Norma Westphal hoping for n date with the university boys. . . . Larry Wentz talking about the good points of Helen Speier ... , Gene Bradley selling T1inlrn to all his girl friends (now Gene) and Hal Bosse:man stu<'lying his Spanish (I hope you know it Hal. but I doubt it). Ambition: A boy's future; a man's past. We refer this to Mifre Poteet, so don't start slipping Mike. Ancestors: The folks who live in the fam· ily tree. \Ve give this oni> to Ardis Lyman .not hccause she is a monkey, hut because she hkes to swing- (wow). This next one is too hard to refer to anyone. hut you can have it providing you have a F'ord sedan becam;e. Sofa: An article of furniture that lasts tluee times as long- as it did before the Ford sed:rn was invented. Th en of course there always has to be somebody like this. Advi~e: What we give away b ecause it is of no use to ourselves. \Vell we give this one to Mary House providing she makes good use of it. Tennis: The nosiest game-all racquets, and just to show you that. I like tennis I '11 loan ·this to three girls, not because they 're noisy hut because they know what a tem1is racquet looks like. They are Jo Ann Macoy, Betty Jane Kohout and Betty Bintz. The next three definitions I j1J.st t hrew in for good measure. Airplane: A vehicle that costs less than a wife, lrnt is harder to keep up. Air Brake: What every broadcasting station needs. Airship: One of those things that are of no earthly use.

To the Editor: The other day as I was prepar· ing my history lesson, I came upon the startling- fact that .I didn't know what . I was reading. The greatest trouble with most of us is that we are mentally asleep. We read · heavily, without stopping to absorb, without cogitating upon it and without re· lating it in any way to our pre· vious experiences, and observa· lions upon our knowledge of the subject. We do no): pause often or long enough in our reading to fix impressions upon our minds and never do we try to match it with an idea of our own, but maybe to associate it with ideas that have interested us in the past. The most effective means of im· pressing an idea upon my mental life is the habit of taking notes. If I read only casually, the notes will help make an impression that will not leave quickly. Genius does not ·come from the habit of taking notes but it is no secret that all great men of science, electricity, mathematics and in any wide field do take notes for future as well as present references. So in the future, why don't you try taking notes during class discussion and in you!' textbook reading to see if it wm help you as it has many others ? A Student. To the Editor: Was just thinking the other day how little I do know about this place. I am just a "freshie" around here yet. (Actually I'm a sort of combination junior and senior, having hopes of graduating at next year's winter commencement.) I feel like a "freshie" at any rate although· I've been here nearly a month. Reason? May I answer with another question or rather a group of them? Here they are: What does Joy Night mean and what's it all about ? What are Mummers, any relation to Mummies? What is the art club.. Mimes, Round Table, camera club, Forum, L club, Hi-Y, and Girl Reserves for, what d.o they do, where do they meet, and when, how and why? What does G. A. A. stand for? Who are and what do home room representatives do? How many .stuclentR are there in this achoo!? How rnany room,; and t·:ac::hoxsl . r'!.a..~ t 11J;.;, s.Q!J.(1QL got >1. gooa fat, \.,,;ul tc- n . 'Why the hall guides? Wl,at do you mean, how many credit hours have I got? I could go , on with this for pages and . pages, and pages, and pages, etc. What I'm getting at is-Why not publish a booklet at the beginning of , each semester containing answers to every ques· tion one can imagine. If you· can't imagine any, just sea me. Why even right now I'd like to ask the questions, will this sug· gestion of mine get any thought? and will anyone take any action? Lloyd Helgeson. The abov~ questions are reasonable considering that Lloyd is a newcomer to Lincoln high. He will find practically all of them answered in the Advocate or the Red and Black handbook which he may obtain from most teachers. The handbook is at present out of print, but there are a number of them about the building. The Editor. To the Editor: I propose at least ene assembly a ~emester for the purpose of introducing, to the student. body, the members and officers of the vari· ous school governing groups, in· eluding the student council, class officers and officers of the home room representative body. True, directly or indirectly we elected most of these people who fill our school executive offices, but do we ever s· , them to know who they are a!l.d do we know those who help make the regulations by which all Lincoln l)igh students abide? No, not for the most part. Personal introduction to the student body, of these officers would help to stimulate our s.chool to that much-talke<\·of ideal of active school spirit, because by knowing our school officials a little more personally than just by name we would feel more inclined to get behind the school and cooperate with these leaders in any project they propose. The United States government spends much time and money yearly to acquaint the general public with its governing offices and elected officials for much the same reasons tnat I have mentioned, so why don't we get behind the idea, for a more personal co-operation between students, principal, student body officers and for more school spirit ? Virginia Selby. Editor's Note: The writer, who is new to the school this year, may not know that all student council candidates are introduced in an assembly,
Boys Should Heed These Behavior Tips To Appear at an Adpantage on 'Dates' According to a "senior escort's" article which appeared in a recent issue of this paper, articles con· cerning a girl's appearance and actions when with a boy are much more infreqlient than those ad· dressed to boys. That statement brings a wave of protest that the situation is precisely the opposite. A boy should never forget his color scheme. If anything creates a bad first impression ,it is clothes in riotous colors and unsuitable to the occasion. Don't look as though you had just come in from a rough and tumble free-for-all. Boys often complain about their girl friends being late. Girls often wonder if it ever occurred to them that they had come too early? Don't begin with "what shall WI! do?" but make definite suggestions, giving her an opporh.inity to make a choice. If you have your own car, help her in and out. This isn't being overly polite, but a demonstration which she will appreciate. If you take a street car or bus, never forget to precede her in getting off and to give her assistance in descending. Remember that to talk. continu· ously during a movie is particularly annoying. Counting out loud while dancing is equally irritating. Two of the quickest ways to be· come unpopular are either to shout out loudly at a magic show that you know how all the tricks are done 9r complain about being un-
able to get ideal seats at the game. On those nights out, never for· get that most girls have parents who worry, 'and getting her in after the prescribed time makes a bad impression on them, and her too. On those quiet evenings at home where the main pastime is casual conversation, there are several im· portant "nevers": First, never talk about the qualities of other girls. This creates an atmosphere of dis· satisfaction. Second, never allow a silence to become too uncomfortable. This is closely parallekd by its rival, talking too much. Third, never talk about involved mechanics; this only bores her or makes her feel that you are dolng it to show your own knowledge on the matter and her comparative ignorance. Ta'1k on topics of mutual interest and avoid talking about yourself because it inevitably brings about an impression of conceit. What ever you do, re· member when to go home! Some fellows take trinkets, snch as pins and rings, from girlll against· their will, refusing to return them. Nothing is more de· testable. Don't do it. This has been a rather severej article. It wasn't meant as !! sermon but as a few kind suggestioi:ts to all boys who want to be popular, intending, not to make them over, but to improve and add to thP, good qualities already in their possessions.
Value of Science Of Broadcast Study Is Theme
chemists who are alumni of Lincoln high. Musical entertainment was furnished by the boys glee club, und~r the direction of Hugh R,ange· !er, which sang Jubilate, Big Corral, The Three Musketeers, and Humpty Dumpty. News of the week from the various Lincoln schools was given at the end of the program by Dick Putney, The cast of the sketch was Jim· my Rice, Robert Alberty, Dorothy Weirich, James Wheeler, John Kuhlman, Lee Pelton, Marjorie Blewfield, Jack Zimmer, and Dick Putney, announcer.
Claiming that science is a valuable study because it makes students understand the things which surround them better, eight stu· dents from a senior English class gave a sketch by Robert Alberty Saturday morning over KFOR, thus carrying out Lincoln high's contribution to the ether waves. The theme was a visitor to Lincoln high, who decided he wanted to inspect the science department. He and his guide and interpreter stopped first at the biology class, where the visitor learned that an· nually 1,000 students study science in Lincoln high. After biology came botany. and its relation to planls nnd grnwing them chemkally, physiology, and it~ current · ~l.ruy··-07:·- AJX1'\.C---u--t~v-r~- -n;,rcr-p ri:y-
sics and its delving into' simple machines, electricity, sound and engineering. Their final stop was the ehemistry laboratory where the inquis· itive visitor interviewed a pupil and was given an example of what is studied there, the example be· ing the study of air and its contents. One student who was going further than necessary by study· ing advanced chemistry spoke of the chemistry i::lub, and several
B.e tween The Covers Far more thrilling than any mystery story is "Lion," by Martin Johnson. This is a story of the many months Martin Johnson and· his wife, Osa Johnson, spent camping· in a valley in boroff Africa taking lion pictures. Among the exciting things that happened to the Johnsons: On top of their car, in the middle 0f a flooded river, in a tropical rain, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson spend a horrible afternoon; Mrs. Johnson finds a five foot black cobra in the dining tent; one day while photographing a lioness, they get within two feet of her; she pays no attention and sh_ows no alarm beyond blinking her large brown eyes and yawning once or twice. This is only one of the books by A f rican explorer-writers. Others to be found in our· library are: "Skyways to a Jungle Lab· oratory," by Crile, "Over African Jungles," by Johnson, "JungleJ Preferred," by Miller, "Jungle Mania," by Forrance and "In Brightest Africa," by Akeley.

To the Editor: Aviation, the country's largest expanding industry, has a small footing here in Lincoln high school in the forI\l of the . Skycrafters club. But even this small footing is slipping and the club will be discontinued unless a good tur:n-out is shown at .the next meeting March 6. Come on, boys, get that good (})d red sporting blood boiling, crank up your props and let's get fly· ing with the Skycrafters at their next meeting. It won't take much of your time and model flying in the spring is lots of fun and good entertainm,ent. Let's not let this small club fizzle out. Bill Hall.

Are you a sunior? Have you ever been to the Sunset Club? Did you ever read the Spinal Col• umn? If you had attended West End high school in Nashville, Ten· nessee, you would know the an• swers to these odd quf;!stioils. For there, the January graduates are known as suniors-a combination of the.. words junior and senior. The Sunset Club is the official title for the students who have to stay after school for misbe· havior or tardiness. And the Spinal Col~mn is not a part ol the anatomy, but a part of the school paper. "The Spinal Column -the Backbone of the Paper," is the way it appears in print; however, it's the humor column in ca.!le you don't understand. The school paper is nan1ecl ''The .West \Vind" an•1 in .ii rnay Ile :f<mr.i.d tl1a,
Spi·iii"i:· is ·;:;znning. ThiH fact was revealed to<lay when Dopey, blinking his eyes and stretching, crawled out of the mud in the box of an umbrella plant. Dopey is the pet turtle of Lois Ailes. It seems that last November, he was taken from his regular home and put in: the flower pot to bask in •the sunlight which the flower was receiving. Later when she went to get him and return him to his home, she couldn't find hide ·nor shell of him. Immediately the house was turned inside out looking for him. The family thought he might. have fallen out of the flower pot and had crawled into a closet or corner. For many days everyone of the household kept a sharp lookout for him, but as time passed, Dopey was forgotten. Imagine Lois's surprise, then, when watering the plant, to see Dopey emerging from the mud. Immediately there was great rejoicing over Dopey's re· turn. Dopey, un(listurbed over all the excitement he had created, merely crawled upon a stone, stretched and blinked his eyes to prepare himself for 'the food which he was sure he deserved.

.J11stice Paine Gives Speech Noted Judge Speaks On Life of Washington Before Hi-Y Meeting George Was_hlngton and Abraham Lincoln were two great men as opposite as possible said Ju~ tice Bayard H. Paine, assistant chief justice of the Nebraska supreme court, in his address com· memorating Washington's birth· day at the meeting for February 21.
George Washington was an outdoor man at heart and chose an occupation where he could honestly work, instead of relying on his par· e_nts' influence.
Griswold and Goe English 8 Winners In the biggest news story of the week contest, four different topics were chosen, a11 four being of al· most equal importance. From Miss Belle Farman's classes, Thomas Griswold, period 4, took first place, chosing as his topic, "France's Reoognition of the New Govern· ment Outright." Roy Erickson, period 3 was second place winner, his topic being the unicameral legislature. In Miss Sarah T. Muir's classes, first place winner was John Goe from period 1, writing on "Italy to Double Libuan Troops," while Marion Priest, period 2, cam<? through second, with the . topic, "Eighty Four Said Killed in Africa."
Surveying Work Accurately Done.
It was shown that the surveying work that Washington did on the huge estate of Lord Fairfax was so accurate that only several of his lines will have to be changed. "At all times," continued the Judge, "Washington was very level headed and he did every genuine thing in his power to keep his lit· tie armies from being annihilated in the French and Indian wa~." Compares Lincoln With Washington.
"In comparing Abraham Lincoln with Washington we find that they were both large outdoor men," he said, "and that they both accomplished the same objective, the presidency of the United States. Lincoln started out from a little cabin without a floor and Washington from a large mansion on the Potomac." Contest Held With Candy.
A candy eating contest was i;taged by · Richard Gellatly and Howard Shirley with the latL r qui-ckly stowing away the necessary amount to win. Grace was given by Robert Alberty and devo· tions by Robert Dewey. Members were reminded of the party February 24.

He also told how the amateur should act on .the air and at the end of his talk the boys asl<ed him questions dealing with radio prob. lems. The proposal of a DX (distant station) contest, to be held between the various members of the club was discussed and Francis Medley was appointed to take care of the details. Since quite a number of the boys do not have licenses, but do have receivers, they thought it a good idea to start a listening contest to see who can hear the most amateurs from distant points ih thi_s country and in other countries. The club is now building up a small transmitter which will operate in the 160 meter band when completed. It will be demonetrated and the me.mbers having licenses wiJI op_erate it at the next reg·ular meeting.

The cast included Marian Patton as Emma, Louise Tem,ile as Mary, Dorothy Dworak in the role of Mrs. Oakley and Priscilla Moseley as Constance.

French Students Watch for Movie Many French students of Lin· coin high school are looking for· · ward to the coming French talking picture, "Mademoiselle Mozart," with the famous French actress, Danie11e Darrieux.

The three students who have the highest average for the week are to · elp the rest of the pupils. The "helpers" for this week are Charlotte HiJI. Mary Lous Holtz and Jean Louise Enslin. With two Dick Bakers in the same home room_ the teachers and students are having a hard time telling them apart. Since they both have a brother named Bob they can't be distinguished that way, but some students call them Dick Baker from Irving and· Dick from Whittier. The mother of th" Dick from Whittier was annoyerl the other day when the Dick from Irving was abs~nt the school called her and wanted ta know why her son was not in school.

Lincoln high has and has had some boys that must have a slogan. Their slogan is, "Like big brother, like little brother," motto of the Mills brothers who have at· tended or are attending Lincoln high. The brothers, Robert, Lloyd, Keith and Kenneth are all athletes of some sort. The oldest, Bob, won letters in football and track at the alma mater. He was also an all state man while here. Bob is now attending the Nebraska university and has lettered in football. Bob is the number one shot-putter at tl:e university and showed his laurels last week by winning the shot put :for ·his team. Next comes Lloyd "Buck" Mills who earned letters in track during his time at Lincoln. His specialties were the half-mile and mile on the cinder paths. Lloyd was also runner up in the class "A" checker tournament this winter. Keith, next in line, earned his letter in running the 440 and the 880 last year. His sideline is boxing. Last but not least, is Kenneth "Killer" Mills who specializes in boxing and is city champion in the one hundred forty-six pound class. "Killer" has boxed throughout the state and is )mown for his reputa- _ tion for never having turned away · a challenge in his weight class. May Linc::oln high have more boys and families like the Mills,

Council Passes Lynx Constitution; Considers Advocate's Proposal Approving the new boys· "pep" club constitution and voting on a new measure presented to the stu· dent affairs committee by the Advocate, constituted the main issues that confronted the student council at their meeting last Wednesday. The constitution of the Lynx, boys "pep" club, which has recently been approved by the student affairs committee, was read before the council and was accepted. A proposal drafted by the Advocate and approved at ·the recent meeting of the student affairs committee was discussed. The proposal states that the election of class officers will be held not later than the fourth Monday of every semester. The previous ruling was that the election should be held not later than th.e thi7d Friday. 'l'he change, as proposed, would aJlow the Advocate a better chance to ·obtain a relea5€ on the various elections. Tardiness and Absences Stressed.
It was announced by the president that two tardinesses in com• ing to the weekly meetings would constitute one absence and two unexcused absences in one semester would be enough to be dropped from the council. Joy Night advertising was discussed and 400 bumper signs are to be distributed in the near future. John Provost announced that there might be a matinee roller skating party soon after Joy Night.

DePutron Talks On Color Films
Although you may not be aware of it, there is an unheralded comedienne among us. If any stu· · dent, teacher or any other inhabi· tant of this school was frightened by the gales of lapghter emerging from room 212 last Wednesday, you con now relax. Miss Annetta Sprung, known to most of you as a teacher of French, kept her class in stitches with an Italian version of that old traditional story, "The Death of the Cherry Tree," in which our national hero, George Washington, played so great a part. Miss Sprung's rendition of this great epic was done in dialect and it is believed that her French 3 class will never be the same.

Pupil Enrolled in Twenty Schools During Education Bert Pease should be a studious fellow after all of the schooling he has. been through. Bert has attended twenty schools sinC;e he enrolled in . kindergarten. He said, "Of all these schools, I beHeve that Lincoln high has the best all around · school , except perhaps for Excelsior Union high school. Excelsior is run by the students on the honor system. I believe Lincoln high ·has the best faculty staff of tMm all." He has attended schools at Ro5eland., Hershey, Shelton and Wood River in Nebraska; Grant Park; Illinois; Norwalk, California ; · two schools a t Bell Flower, California; Grand Island, Gothenburg, Schuyler and Bennett, Ne" braska. He has been a pupil at Whittier, Irving and Elliott of Lincoln; a Chicago high school; Excelsior Union high school; a school at Los Angeles , California, and Wil~ son high at Long Beach, California. At the present, he is a senior in Lincoln high school.
Sports Chatter Leading the Class B church leag ue tournament, in which a number of Lincoln high boys play, is First Plymouth church, which has won 11 straight games. The team has a perfect record and has cinched the title. The mainstays are· John Koenig, Don Weiderspan, Tom Griswold, Gene Sengstake, and Howard Hawley. Also playing with the team are Max Wil·son, Marvin Sohl, Charles Rakestraw, Max Ebeling, Don Campbell and Arthur Stueber. Forrest Bachman, L. H. S. footballer, credits his life to the "horse ,sense" of a horse. While visiting a farm at the age of six he asked to . ride a pony. After being ridden for a few minutes, the horse bucked and Forrest felf underneath him. Forrest believes the horse possessed good "horse sense" because the pony stepped over his body and went on his way. Afterwards it was discovered that he. had ridden a pony that was not completely "broken in." Now that the basketball season is about over, Coach Joe Toman will start thinking about tennis. He hait two returning lettermen, Warren Goldstein ·and Dick Gellatly. The rest of the team will be picked from the boys who try out for it.

Now that the basketball season is drawing to a close many boys are turning their attention to track. With but four lettermen returning, Howard Debus, Bob Francisco, l3ob Jordan and Fred Metheny, hopes are none too high for a successful season. Lincoln . will be defending champion at all ·of the meets on its schedule except the state meet. But with the number . of boys interested and the spirit already shown by the squad, it will be hard to keep the team from going places. There will also be a series of meets held this season for boys who are unfortunate enough to gain a berth on the first squad. So all boys interested in track, espe~ cially underclassmen, should make an effort to get out for track and take advantage of the training and competition offered by this . type of program. J. R. YORDY,

team because he was the only member of ·last years championship team. Fred .is. a letterman in football and track .also. Coach Beechner Is confident that the team is going to hit during the following tournaments and everybody that comes to the games will be supporting the team. A fine squad will be out for the team next year with Bob Weygint, Henry Reichel, Howard Debus, Floy<! Wilkenson, Bud King, Ha~vey Lauer and Bill Jennings. Lincoln won seven and lost eight this season. Bob Campbell, shifty reserve forward, was named .on the all greater ·Lincoln league honor roll. Campbell was the high scorer for the reserves this season. "Cy" Yordy looks for a good sea.son next year.
Five of Frank Mueller's sophomore basketball players have earn~d a promotion after nearly two semesters on the sophomore team. These boys, Bob Schriener, Bill Cummings, Jim Deffenbaugh, Dean White and Wilber Wiedman, have been given a chance on Coach "Cy" Yordy's reserve team for the remainder of the season. In the final game of the season, the reserve sophomores played the reserve juniors in preliminary to the Lincoln-Kearney game.

Wilkinson, O'Coniler White and Klein Are High Scorers in Game With every player except one scoring at least once, the Lincoln reserves defeated the Lincoln sophomore second team by a score of 36-30 Saturday at Whittier gymnasium. The scoring was evenly divided between the two teams, with Joe O'Connor, Ray Wilkinson, Lawrence Vaughan, "Step" Jones, Dean ''Corrigan" White and Abbie Kein getting the biggest share of the total' number of points. The game was a prelimina ry to . the Lincoln high-Kearney game. O'Connor, Vaughan and Wilkinson started the game out by making it look as if it was going to be a long · .evening for the sophomores. The sophomores didn't quite like the idea of being stepped on and ttiey rallied to be led at the ehd of the first quarter by a_ meager two points. The reserves, Jed by the one-handed hook shot artists, Joe O'Connor, increased the reserves' lead at half time to 19 to 15. The reserves neved led the sophomores · by more than six points, _ and . that .was the final s·core: · The Scoring . was eyen for ·the . third quarter, . with .the re~ serves claiming a 27-23 adva ntage final quarter. The ·fact that the spohomores held the reserves ~o evenly, made Coach "Cy" Yordy ·· happy because . all of the sophomores .will be back next fall for a stab at Mr. Yordy's res~tve five. Eight of the ten reserve men are juniors and will .not be eligible for the reserve team next year .. O'Connor, Wilkinson, Vaughan and Jones looked best for the reserves, while .Abbie Klein, Wilber Weidman and Dean White were the best for the sophomores. Summary: Reserve~ Campbell f · Fox f

Girls Sports An air of expectancy has been felt around the girls gymnasium. The girls have been anxiously a waiting the . results <;>f try-outs for the tournament .teams, Which · take· place March 1-8 after. school. We'll have the outcome for you · soon. The reason the girls after school .b asketball was put off, as you probably· k .n ow, ·was because of the sophomore party.. A bug in the girls' shower last week was the cause for a great many screams and a general commotion. I can assure you, that shower was not used! It's remarkable what a change takes place on the faces _of the girls by the time · they come out of swimming, but as they are all deft artists, w·i th the help of a little makeup, no orie would ever know that they had .b e.e n swimming. Of course the . hair may be slightly damp; but that is remedied either by youthful pigtails, originated for that pmpose · by Arids Lyman, or a gay color ed kerchief. This is practical and still · in style.

Chicago School Worker Believes Jitter-Bug Dancing Is On Way Out Jitter-bug dancing is on its way out, according to Miss Ernestine Badt, coordinator of social activities for the .Chicago public school system. She based her opinion on the t~rpsichorean attitudes of some 7 ,500 high sc.hool .boys and girls attending Friday night dances irt 14 schools .as a part of a socialization program of Dr. William H . Johnson, superintendent of schoo1s there. "When evening dancing was inaugurated in our high schools a few months ago," said Miss Badt, "there was .some demand for jitterbug dancing, but now there is rione. We neithet offered nor encouraged the jitter-bug type of dancing beca.u se it is merely a fad which catches the public fancy tor a time · and then dies of its own accord. Then, too, it requires an acrobat to become a successful jitter-bug." They have, however, Miss Badt stated, substituted such dances · as the collegiate shag, the rhumba, and tango, but · the trend is back

Tech to Lose Swimmers Omaha .Tech may .have a diffi. cult time getting. its first team lineups. Recently the "first team" swam for the Omaha athletic club against l{.CAC (Kansas) after its own schedule ·started. Through the new state-wide rule that no swimmers on scholas tic teams may swim for other teams and still swim for that school, after their schedules have started, this makes eleven of their first team ineligible.

With 22 seco.n ds left to go, Floyd Wilkinson broke up a nice stall by intercepting the ball and taking it down the floor but missed a bucket. The gallant ·Links wer<' not daunted and Fred Metheny took the ball on a follow shot, neatly dropping it irt as the gun went off. The Bearcats made three points in the last stanza. Their composed attitude was shattered by imperfect dribbling and wild shooting and fouling out of Bernie Coon. Journey and Corrigan were constantly under the spotlight for the Kearney team.

Professor Makes Models of Geometry Problems to Help Baffl~d Students Geom etry s tudents of the f ulut"e who are baffled by a p r oblem may find its solution by h andling !I. model of t he g eom etry problem, according to the Ch ristia n Science M onitor. Th is is wh at Prof. Ge')rge H . Nicholson of the mathematic.:i d epartment at t he Universit y of Veri:nont believes, a nd h e has work ed out models for a numbe r of mathemat ical puzzlers. These m odels include pr oblems from a lgebra , t rigonome try a nd ~olid g eometry. They are m ade principally of wood, but string, lead fis h sinkers, chalk and ordinary k itchen hooks are used a lso.
believes P r ofessor Nicholson that t he models could be built m m anua l training classes or as part of t he regular ma thematics study. Lumber from pa cking boxes is excellent for the models . A mechanism consisting of >1. bar fastened to a vertical pos t, w ith six hooks fastened to the ba r at either side, and a pulley arr angement operated by a st r ing and weight demonstra tes t he rule that two negative n umbers multip lied t ogether give a positive answ er .

Sophomores Debate First Round Today In Class C Tourney
High School Students Present Programs At National Convention H. C. Mardis attended the National Education association con· vention at Cleveland, Ohio, last week. "High school pupils were given considerable prominence in the session," said Mr. Mardis, "and some very interesting programs, including music were presented by high school pupils." A group of pupils from a small school in Ohio gave a dramatization of the work of their school and a panel discussion was given by some Cleveland high school pu· pils on extra-curricular work . Spea kers at the convention included Jan Masaryk of Czecho· &lovakia, some important newspa· per editors of America, and the warden of Alcatraz, who spoke on the "Challenge of Crime." In his talk the warden stressed the fact that many criminals who claim to be college graduates ha d actually withdrawn when they were in elementary or junior high school and habitual criminals start when they are young. Mr. Mardis visited two high schools while gone, t he New Trier high school in Illinois and the .Shaw high school at Cleveland. On returning Mr . Mar dis rem a rked, "The student body of Lincoln high compares very favorably wit h pupils of these high schools."

Cartooning Not New; Class Finds Sir Roger De Caverly, whom Miss Esther Montgomery's fift h period English 6 class is now s tudying, was t he orig inal com~c strip charact er. Sir R oger appeared in Joseph Addison's paper, The Spectator, in t he "'" rly eighteenth cen tury. H e was the cent ral figur e of a group of frien ds who m et at a coffee house in London a nd discussed every kind of p roblem imag inable. Instead of drawing pict ures, Addison wrote essays on what Sir Roger and his friends discussed and did. The essay on t he ghost at Sir Roger's house would fur n ish mn.· terial for a week or more of "The Nebbs" or "The Gu mps." Th e m eeting of t he friends might be material for "Our Boarding House" or "Ma jor Hoople."

Greetings All!!! Let's Clean the Hall •
Many of the battling basketeers who journey from every corner of Nebraska to compete in the state basket ball tournam ent will visit Lincoln high. With observing ey rs they will compare the halls of this school with their own. \Vadded candy wrappers and old assignlnents which, for some reason forgot that their home was in the "Remember Me," may lead to the downfall of Lincoln high 's reputation for cleanliness.
Honesty and Ambition Are· Essential for Success •
Scales of justice :ternally swi_ng fr?m side to side and then· master cries with outraged bi-eaths for the return of honest,Y an•1 ambition. Time is :not the ordinary provoker of man's determination, but it docs try t o be his judge and adviser. Honesty will ever occupy its post of primary importance in the wol'ld, and its disciple will continue to preach for its acceptance in even' quarter: you howevcl', must l1eln. Ex.eluding· spiritual honesty, this qnestion needs be asked of American youth, ''Are you 11 onest with yourself" ') In your classes, do yon att empt to fool your instructor and make him think t hat yon are absorbing poiilts that you really are not 1 But a question more vital than ever comes to mind, "Are you fooling yoursel~ b_Y the suhject which you are taking 1" Thi~ 1s most s~ rious, because if you do you w1ll regret it later. What you are planning to d o should determine your courses, not ·what you can get the best grades in. Snap courses represent the gravest da1~gers which now menace the modern· educat10nal system. Do not fool yourself int o thinking that you are putting something over on your t eachers or your parents. . · Be honest with yourself even if you can· not be with anyone ·else; realize that you will have to work in life on what you have gained in school. Resolve to avoid snap-courses.
Exit Drills Important To School Safety •
Fire inspectors consider .an exit dr!ll of the greatest importance, if one may Judge by an a1;ticle in the Readers' Digest. Have you ever given serious thought to the system of exit drills or the way y ou respond when you hear the exit drill bell ? Sometimes there might be a fire inspector watching the drill to give his opinion, What wotild you want him to think of the Lincoln high school drill 7 There may not ever be a fire in this building, but who knows1 Schools . all over the T;nited States think the same thmg, but there is an average of five school fires a day in the United States. In some schools it is quite a general practice to leave crippled boys and girls sitting in their seats during fire drills, but in this school it is different. No one is excused from a fire drill. Also in some schools if a. class is having a test or something of the sort the class may . be excused from a fire drill. No class can be excused in I1incoln high under any condition. It should not take more than two minutes to empty a school completely. It it t akes longer, the situation calls for an investigation. Every pupil in Lincoln high is told where to go, what exit to use and what to .do when t1ie fire drill bell is l'lll1g . So there 1s no reason why the building cannot be emptied in two minutes.
Modern Schools Compare Well With Older Ones •
Despite larger classes, crowded buildings and ''a more heterogeneous school population,'' academic high school students today learn just as much as those of a decade ago, according to a stat ement made .by D:r:. Philip A. Boyer, director of the Philadelphia board of education's division of research. Checking the results of tests given in languages, natural science and history t en yea1·s ago with results of similar tests given to 12B academic pupils, Dr. Boyer found the latter equally well informed as the former,

Pupils took over the press, radio and town council, acc~rding to the A dvertiser, a Cana dian paper from Ken t ville, Nova Scotia, during Ed· ucation W eek, February 6th t o t he 10th. The paper received by the Ad· vocate was the city paper put out by high school pupils. The Adver• tiser was the first news paper in Canada to place the local sch ool in c harge of one issue of its w eekly p ublication. A second activity was the elec· tion of a m ayor and six council• lors from high school p upils. The p upils chosen h ad a voice in ·aU m atters concerning the town dur· ing the mon th of Febr uary, The pupils wer e elect ed due to theit energetic campaigning before hand dur ing whic h they promised such things as a rink with arti• ficial ice to the At hletic club, handsome coaches to t he girl's a th letic club, and to out-of-town pupils, full course dinners and aeroplane service so they would not have to get up until twenty m inut es till s chool time, breakfast t o be served on the plane en route, Other things they prom ised were a zoo, sof t gongs to replace buzzers t o wake pupils up at the end of each period, a free soda foun· tain, a swing orchestra, a radio in the libr ary, scholarships to the eight best dancer s, tickets to the World's Fair to the ten making the lowest total in s chool with t he hope that t hey ma y become edu• cat ed in t hat way and a holiday t he Friday after the candida tes were elected, Third, the pupils broadcasted over CKIC, Wolfville radio sta · t ion. T he school sessions were also opened to the public du ring the week so that the parent s could get an insight int o what is being done and how it is being done in the school.
It was stated in t he edit orial .that Nebraska had t he lowest per cent of illiteracy, a stat ement that w as t rue du ring the years 1890 to 1910, but now it is no longer true, although it should be since so much has been done for education in Nebraska by the na.tional governmept.
Iowa has t he lowest percent of illiteracy of a ny state in the union. Washington, Oregon and Idaho are next and Nebra ska, South Dakota and K ansas follow with the percentage of 1.2. The edit orial shoul.d have m en· tioned t hat on March 1, 1867, t he Government of the U nited States helped educa tion in Nebr aska by making cert ain g rants of land. It gave t he public r: hc ')ls 1-18 of all t he la nd of Nebraska, sections · 16 and 36 out of every township, a total of three million acres. For the building of an agricultural college it gave 90,000 a cres a nd for the building of a state university it gave 46,000 acres. The state in t urn gave for the building of normal schools 12,800 acres: The constitution however, stated that the principal should be kep t forever without loss a nd t hat only the interest be us ed. About 1,300,00 a cres of the public schools' best land and all but 12,000 acres of t he otli.er was sold at $5 or $7 !i.n acr e. If it were to be sold now, it would pu t about t en times more funds in the school treasur y. A defaulting st ate t reasur er t ook $300,000 from the funds and t he loss has never been made up.

in m y opin ion than those men t ioned in th e editorial. GENE LAWRENCE. To t he Editor: Why is it not p ossible, in t he near futu re, t o p lace sm all deposit boxes in the g irls g ymna • sium so that a sum of money may .be collected to purchase large!:' mirrors for the girls dressing room? At the present time, large sports classes of girls have to c rowd a round two small mirror s to "try" t o beautify themselves. There is already a large group of girls in Lincoln h igh t hat are will· ing to giv e their full support if it were at all possible and I know that there are scores of otner girls t hat would part with a little money for this needy ca use. P erhaps even the 'boys would help out. What chan•! es a re t here of securing larger mirrors ? A J UNIOR. To the Editor: A plan has been proposed t o cha ng e the . olympics from the spring semester until t he fall semester, and in several conversa tions with pupils of all grades I have found t ha t ther e is much dissatisfaction over this chan ge. P upils look forward to t heir s pring activities which include the olympics , and I think th ey should be maintained as they are at present due t o the weat her cor1o ditions and t h e feelings of the p upils t oward th.f;\se aetivi ties. Another reason why the olympics should be held in the sprin g i s that in the fall there are always so many new students ent erin g from some other school wh o would feel too much out of place a mong so many strang·ers t o e njoy i t very much. Because of the a bove reasons I t hink t hat before any cha ng e is m a de, there should be an open vote on t he s ubject for the student body. If a decision of this kind is made, then everyone will feel better about the situation. A JUNIOR. To the E ditor: Lincoln high needs more new yells and songs. It seems a:s if the opposing schools always come out with new yells, while our poor cheerleaders have t o lead us with the same old yells. About the only yell we had on our side besides our regular yells w as "One, Two, Three, F our- Powder River !" The yells we have now are fine, but we need some new ones. Students, you must help keep u p the pep of ou r school, by sending in some yells or songs, never heard before. It sounds like a mighty task, but . someone must k now some new y ells. Don Schmidt,

Radio Writer Addresses Mimes
When boy writes girl today, he usually fills his letter with current gossip, what he has been domg, and ends it with a row of "x's.'' "The American Fashionable L etter Writer, original and selected, containing a variety of letters on Business, Love, Courtship, Marriage Relationship, Friendsnip, etc.," published in 1863, set down a different form. This book, now in the possession of Joanna Radke, a junior, was first owned by a ser, geant of cavalry in the. Civil w:ir. The inscription on the title pag·c reads: Henry .Soeett Sergeant Henry Soeett Co. t 6th ·Rem't. Iowa Calvery Henry Soeett. The book, which ·is five inche!'I by three inches, and one inch thick, is bound in dull bottle green. The cloth binding is .frayed, from much carrying, and is liberally sprinkled with inkstains. It is a very small book to carry so heavy a title. The pages inside do not show so much wear, but they are freckled and yellowed with age. This book told Sergeant Henry, when he wrote to the girl he left behin.d him, just how to express himself. Instead of star ting with a "Dear Gracie," he started witn, "Madam." "Those only who have suffered them, can tell the unhappy moments of hesitating uncertainty which attend the forma tion of a resolution to declare the sentiments of affection; who have felt their greatest and most acute torments, could not, previous to my experience, have formed the re· mo test idea of their severity." He ended his letter, "I am, madam, your affectionate admirer

Miss Thomas explained that there are three kinds of radio dramatics; serious, humorous and an· nouncing. "A dramatic quality in the voice is necessary for all interested in radio dramatics," Miss Thomas stressed. "Some people call it punch but it is that certain dramatic quality in the voice and any personality that can be put into it that makes radio stars successful." Miss Thomas' advice to those interested in the phase of .radio dramatics is to study English, many foreign languages and history. The rest of the p~ogram con· 11isted of several selections sung by Janice Marx. Ghita Hill announced that an original play, written by James Chappell and Elmer Sprague, will be presented at the next meeting.

The words given were taken from the list used on the Spelling Bee program, Sunday, February 19, in the match between the staff members of Esquire and Harpers Bazaar. In a report given to Mi;;is Jessie B. Jury's Latin 7 class, Joanna Radke told the pupils that Venus, the goddesl:! of love and beauty, sprang from the foam of the sea and was then taken to Moun t Olympus, the home of the gods. The class is studying the "Aeneid," an epic written by Virgil; in which Aeneas is the hero. Aeneas is Venus' son. With two Normans, two Elinors and two Elizabeths, Mrs. Bernice Tebbetts has a hard time keeping them apart in her third period French 3 class. She seats one of each name on each side of the room. Both of the Elizabeths have red hair In an effort to keep records of fifteen minute runs, Mrs. Frances Rein's typewriting 2 classes have made a list of possible errors, containing such things as inser.t ions, transpositions, omissions, spacing, piling and letter errors. In this way pupils see where they made most of their errors and practice sentences containing them. Jack Donovan, who had the lead in the opera last year, visited Miss Helen Stowell's third period · chorus class last week. While there he sang "Mother Machree" for the .class. He is now attending .the ·univeristy of Nebraska. During the past few weeks modern problems classes have been studying about legislation. To carry out their study, many pupils, during their study or free periods, have had the opportunity of going down to the capitol and watching the leg~lature at work.

and Sincere friend." The little book a lso gave Henry some "Rules for Polite Behavior; with Hints on Dress." One hint worth .noticing says, "'On no account wear gilt buttons, except on a blue coat. Many pretenders to fash ion sport them on brown and green, but · this is equally vulgar and repu lsive." Another hint says, "The coat ought to fit close to the shoulders, and the front should be fashioned so as t o display the chest to the greatest ad· vantage." Henry was warned about wearing velvet collars on a vest: "When you see a flashy young· man with a collar of bla.c k o.r blue velvet to a silk vest, you 'will be seldom wrong in guessing him to be a resurrectionist or strolling player." Henry was further advised: " P antaloons may be divided into two great classes, the loose and the tight. Where the shape of the person admits of i~, I would al• ways recommend t he tight." Finally, the little green book admonished its readers: ·~Bet.ore going to. a ball or Pl!-r.ty, it is not sufficient that you consult your m irror yourself. You must be personally inspected by your servant or friend. Through defect of .this, a gentleman once entered a ballroom, attired with scrupulous elegance, but with one of his suspenders curling in graceful festoons about his feet. His glass could not show what was behind." Perhaps Sergeant Henr y Soeett was not guided too literally by the little green book after all, t he il.1side of the book does not show a great deal of wear. Perhaps he did begin his letter to the girl back home "P ear Gracie," and· perhaps he did end it with a row of "x's.''

A perfect oval face, however, can be distorted by the wron-g hairdress. Using girls who volunteered a~ mannequin s, he demonst r a ted the effects of the right and the wrong hairdresses.

After making the speech Mr. Storer manufactured on a small scale, nitric and s ulphuric acid, for the benefit of .the group assembled there . These acids are, accorr!ing to Mr. Storer, the most used adds in the world because of the ir importance in the petroleum industry. After the meeting refreshments of cocoa and sandwiches were served.

Lincoln; Moohery Hits University Coliseum Maples Scene of AH Tournament Games For Championship. Lincoln high drew Coach Virg Yelkin's cagers from Norfolk for its first game of the state tourna• nient. The game is to be played at the University of Nebraska coliseum at 3 p. m. The Links qualified for the state meet by conquering Crete and teachers and then losing the final _game to Jackson in the regional. Norfolk won its way to the state tournament by beating Ainsworth, last years runner-up to Lincoln tor state honors. Should Lincoln high win this game, the team will play the winner of the HastingsCreighton Prep game the following evening. Strong Teams E11tered. The Hastings-Creighton Prep game seems to be the main attraction for the opening days. The other important games are YorkOmaha South, Jackson-Beatrice and Lincoln-Norfolk clashes. Coach Beechner has picked his squad of ten men, for whom he has high hopes. Coach Beechner claims that if the team hits a good percentage of their shots they will be hard to beat. Last years team went along with a mediocre season, the same as this years teams, and went on to win the state tournament in fine style. Ten Players on Team. Coach Beechner_ has cut Henry Riechel for the state tournament 11.s he cut Bud King for the re• gional. Besides Bud King, he will enter Fred Metheny, high scorer; Tome Rice, Bill Jennings and Bob Williams, Bob Weygint, Floyd Wilkinson, Howard Debus, Dick Ga.llatly and Harvey Lauer. The tournament begins Wednesday at 1 o'clock.

Spring Sports Begin Soon Spring Football and Golf Teams Will Start Practicing March I 4 With basketball almost over, Ra.lph Beechner is turning his thoughts toward spring football practice, which will start March 14. Coach Beechner has ten lettermen back this season. In the backfield he. will have Howard Debus, Bud King, William Jennings and Henry Reichel. In the line he has only one returning end in Melvin Keszler. There will be a pair of tackles returning, Harvey Lauer 11.nd Elmer Kehm, with Lester Buckley and Melvin Johnson at guards and Charles Gordon at center. He will also have a pretty fair team coming up from the reserves whose schedule shows that they were not scored upon. Now that the swimming season is almost over Joe Toman can devote his time to spring sports. Toman's golf team should be well represented with four lettermen returning. The lettermen are Bob Johnson, Don Albin, Don Tucker and Bernard Mortenson. Heading the other players who are battling for a position are John Betz and Richard Spomer. In the Junior City Golf tourament, John Betz defeated Richard Spomer and Bob Johnson defeated Bernie Mortenson · to go the fina ls; then Betz disposed Johnson in the finals. This puts Betz at the top of the list. Others out trying will be Paul Hyland, Tom Hyland, Herman Barthely and ·Robert Younkin.
George Binger, '36, is · now attending school at the Arkansas university. George lettered _in football, basketball ano basE>ball at Lincoln high.

Sports Chatter With the basketball season drawing to a close, most coaches have worries as to next year's team, since their' seniors · will not be able to play, but not Coach Beechner. Of course a squad losing such men as Metheny, Rice, Gellatly and Williams will be crippled for a time, but then look at those excellent reserves from Cy Yordy's squad. These boys won 12 of their games and lost 3, · only by a narrow margin. The consistent work of Paul Hyland, Lawrence Vaughan, Step Jones and Bob Campbell all go to lighten Beechner's worries. For each of these boys there is one that runs him a close second. ·so with the splendid reserves plus the juniors already on the team, Beechner should have a crack Lincoln high team. Fred Metheny who starred in track last year will give it up and try the baseball diamond. Freddy starred for the Lincoln Blues last year and played two years of Legion ball. He has won letters in football, basketball and track. Should he letter in baseball, he will have lettered in every sport except tennis and swimming. William Jennings, a junior, is one of many Lincoln high athletes who has letteted in baseball, foot• ball and basketball. He has one more year of competition in each sport. The City Recreation- basketball t.ournament which began at Ev· erett school February 2'\, will include the. names of many players familiar to capital city fans. In the line-up are: Paul Amen, Nie.Ii Francis, .Art Frost, Merlin Mason, Leland Hale, Bruce Duncan. Jack Fate and Harold Shreeve. Because only ten players may enter a tournament the Lincoln high school basketball team had to drop one player. It was de· cided Reichel would go to the re• gional tournament and "Bud" King to the state tournament. Coach Beechner will be assisted in spring football practice this year by Bill Pfeiff of the University of Nebraska, Forrest Bachman and Fred Metheny. Pfeift and Bachman will help coach the line while Metheny -Will give the backfield a few pointers. University men come out to t~e Lincoln high gridiron every season to help coach. However it has been some time since players still in high· school. have added their bit to the training of the .Red and Black.
Bob Younkin again leads the afterschool basketballers in individual scoring, the closest competitor being Dick Chapin. He trails Younkin by 3 points, as he did last week. Bud Irick lost out by dropping down to 12 points below Younkin. Kansas Aggies leads the teams in the league along with Oklahoma, bot h teams having a .715 percent. Younkin leads the scorers with 102 points. Chapin comes in fo1· a close second with a total of 99 points. The following point-getters are: Bad Irick 90, Cliff Wilson 67, Dale Wismer 47, Oren Fredrick 38. Bud Maser 36, Craig Hubbard 35. Tommy Dworak 34, George Howard 34. The free throw_ column reads as follows: Irick 18 out of 38, Younkin 12 out of 34, Chapin 11 out of 28, Schreiner 8 out 21, Whitney McCormick 5 out o! 11 and Dean White 8 out of 22. Last weeks results are: Oklahoma 28, Iowa 26; K-Aggies 20, Nebraska 17; Iowa 44, K-Aggies 12; Oklahoma 26, Nebraska 25. Standings:

Third base position is going to be a problem for Ralph Mueller, coach. Joe O'Connor, a junior from Columbus high, pla.red third base for Columbus and : will probably be the leading candidate for t he position. The outfielder will be Charles Weeler, Harold Lovell and Claire Miller. Jack Leonard who played on the St ate Legion base· ball champion teaom will be another catcher. Floyd Wilkinson, who starred in legion baseball, will be of great value to t he team judg ing from his fine pitching on the Lincoln Blues. With these veterans back, Lincoln high should have a big season.
Girls Sports A double round robin tourna· m ent will last until the end of March in the girls after-school basketball class. The five judging try-out s for the teams will be Miss Lillian Story, sponsor; Merriam Mann, G. A. A . basketball leader, and Betty Nye, Billie Barrett .",nd Juanita Lambert, captains of the sophomore, junior, and senior teams respectively. .Tryouts are being held March 1-8 in the gymnasium. The final teams will be posted on the bulletin board in the girls gymnasium March 9. Each girl must _ b e lhere, dressed in her gymnasium clothes, reaay to play when her team is called to be able to ea rn an emblem or letter. Heard dm;ing foot inspection in girls gymnasium classes. Miss Story, in horror, "I don't · understand how so many people can take baths and leave their feet hang out!" Many faces turned a dull pink. (You know, the n ew fuschia shade! l The after school girl swimmers are rather disgusted with Beatrice. "Why don't they make up t heir m inds we want to know !" are some of the demands. The reason is that every time the girls get ready to swim, they a re kept out of the pool in hopes that the Beatrice swimming meet may be h eld that night, The G. A. A. and P eppers have got us all aroused and curious about the clever acts t hey've up their sleeves, for Joy Night. They are so silent and m ysterious ; the only thing we can do, is go see the show and find out what it's all about! Just to show you that gymnastics are not all play and no work, we point out the fact t hat last Friday, some classes were given a written tel!t on Standards of Practice in girls physical education classes.

Seconds Tak_e Beatrice Meet
Taking five first s out of eight events, the Lincoln second team swam undisputed down the pool to capture a very close ilWimming meet from the Beatrice '·A ," Thursday evening, by a score of 36 to 29. The meet was postponed Tuesday because of the heavy snow . Coach J oe Toman's splashers were never really pushed and t h eir feat was of n ote since Bea trice is one of the l eading swimming teams in the s t ate. Lincoln high second team t urned in a very neat triumph. Links Start Right Off. The splashers were off at t he shot of t he gun and Don Stewart a nd Jim Stoddart tied for first in t he 40 yard freestyle with Moolich of Beat rice third. This set the Link s ahead 8 to 1. In t he next event, Rems Heiny pulled up to t he fin ish line well ahead of his team mate R obert Albrecht, who took second and Beat rice's Crittendon in the 100 yar d breaststroke. Beatrice Takes First. McKown, speedy Beat rice freeRt vler. took UP the Beatricf< standards a n d carr ied them to a first in the 220 yard freestyle. Dedr ick Kimball, only Lincoln entry in the event, came in second, with Kilpatrick of Beatrice, third. Lincoln gathered a f irst in t he 100 yard backstroke by virtue of Jack Martin's overtaking and going far ahead of Sherrock of t he Orange and Black in the last length. Fiedler, Beatrice, took third. The running score was n ow 24 t o 12. Then Tommy Davis personally took over t he 100 yard freestyle and won with feet t o spare. Bowhay was a decided threat in this event and took second. Baker t ook a _hairbreath's win over Dunn for third place. ' Gerald Henderson, diver, w on that event with sweeping grace. Relays Taken By Beatrice. The last two relays of the meet, namely the 189 yard medley al'ld the 160 yard relay, were taken by Beat r ice. The 180 yard medley had Sharrock, swimming backstroke, Crittendon, breast and Chamber la in; freestyle. The members of the 160 r elay qu artet were Dunn, Moolich, Bowhay and Nevitt. The summary:
Bill .'Jennings a nd Howard Debus each garnered a bucket to help out the Lincoln cause. For the second straight night, Debus proved that he was invaluable under the baskets. H is floor play was one of the bright spots of the game. Team Has "Basket-Eyes." Although the Beech ner gang's passing was erratic, they had their "basket-eyes." This was shown by the fact that they hit 16 field goals to Teacher's 6. Harold Danley got the only field goal that T eachers ,.. n.1 ~lrl'
The tournaments t his week will mar k the close of the winter sports for this season. Records made dur ing the season may indicate t o some ex t ent t he ·s trength of teams, but however there are several factors which determine a st a te champion. The mental state of . mind is a leading factor in a state tournament.

Owen Best for Cards; Followers Crowd Ag College Gymnasium Oh, thos e boys from Universit y Place. They have done it again! Friday night the Jackson Cardinals showed their superiority over the Red and Black quintet fro m L incoln high for t he second time in the 1938-39 basketball season. It was the finals in the regional tournament at the agricultural college, with the score, at th e sound of the final gun, be ing -3 to 25 in favor of Jackson. T h e g ame was held before 1,700 cheering fans and the bands f r om both s chools. Rice Fou ls Owen 3 Times. Tommy R ice guarded t he Cardinal mainstay , J immy Owen, a. little too well, having t hree personal fouls chalked up against him before t h e first quarter wa 3 over. In t he opening cant o, the Links fouled f our times, aU against Owen . The only points that the Red and B lack could garner during t he first period was a .free throw by tall Floyd W ilkinson. Owen potted four, Wa ldo W inter hit a field goal and Jim Souder s made a free throw to give the Merrit Robson five a first quarter !-?ad. Fighting Fred Metheny went to work in the second period and r;ollected two buckets and three fres · throws. Bill Jennings swished a near mid-court shot and Howard Debus and H a rvey Lauer a dded a gift toss apiece to bring the Lincoln total up to 12. Darrell Gunn, the speedy little forward for Jack son, connected f or two successivP. field goals and "Slats" W lnters 'lid likewise, to lead Jackson to a 15 t o 12 halftime advant age. Portsche Entertains at Half. T he -fans wer e enter tained a t the ha lf by Lincoln high j uaior cheer-leader , Dickie Port sche, lea ding t he host of Peppers in severa l cheers. Coach Ralph Beech• ner's five scored 11. out of their 1 2 point s, for the half, in t he second quart er. It was a f erocious first half with the boys t ending to fight lhe ball a little too m uch , inst ead of g u arding their men.
The second half opened with Fred -Metheny, B ill Jennings, Darr ell Gunn, Marshall "Red" Nei· hart, Winters and Owen t ossing the sphere through the hoop as if it we re h ot. The Beechnerites increased t h eir score from 12 pomts to 20. The R obsonmen increase<l their score 13 points, from rn to 28 points. It w a s · a torrid t hird period, keeping t he fans on t heir feet for the major part of the quarter. The third canto score wae 28 to 20 in favor of t he Cardinals from Jackson.
Links Fail to Keep Pace. Once, the Links ca~e within 2 points of Jackson, b ut they could not keep up the p ace and Jackson gradually pulled away. The L inks ta.med down during the fourth quarter, scoring only five points. Robson inserted his reserves in the final period and they d id about as well as the first team. Henry Reichel made a bucket for the few minutes that he was in. Wintet led the Jackson scm·ing with 11 points. Metheny took scoring honors with 12 p oints. When he was ejected from the game 011 four personals, Lincoln was pract ically finished, Tom Rice also went out of the game on his full number of fou ls. S ummary: L incoln Metheny ! R ice f

Crete had an equally good per cent on their free throws, col· lecting 3 out of 5 chances. Lincoln made 7 of their 13 fie ld goals in the first half.

T he game was played at t he agricultural college. In the last quarter, Metheny, Debus and "Hook" Lauer scored all of the Lincoln points. Metheny, Jennings, Williams and Debus were best for Lincoln.

Dauntless Fred Met heny kept Ra lph Beechner's Lincoln high basketballers in the reginal tournament by collecting eleven points to lead the Red and Black crew to a well earned 32-19 victory over Bob Gibbs' Crete five Wednesday. The win enabled the Beechnerites ~o move into a semi-final game with Teachers high, also of Lincoln. The Red and Black led at the half by a score of 17-8. Harold "Razz" Mooberry, the Crete southpaw one-handed ace, was the whole show for the Gibbsmen. The portsider hit fo r ten poin ts to take ·s econd place in the scoring column for the evening. Although :Metheny and Mooberry were guarding each other, they took with first and secand piace for the scoring honors, respec· tively. Debus Stands Out. Howard Debus started his first game of the season and together with making four points, played a sterling game unde r both baskets. Every player, with the exception of two, hit for at least one field goal. Met heny had five chances at t he free t hrow mark and hit all of t hem. Bill Jennings gave a credible showing for himself by taking second place· for the Lincoln scorers with six points. The Red and Black five outscored the Ca rdinals in t he field goal division by collecting 13 to their 8. The Links hit 6 out of their 9 chances from the gratis toss line. Lincoln Leads at Half. Metheny, Tom Rice and Debus gave Beechner's gang a 7 to 3 first quarter lead. Fred made 3 and Tom and Howard potted 2 apiece. The second period, the subs took over and "Truck" Williams and J ennings led Lincoln to a 17 to 8 advantage at the half time intermission.
Lincoln high school's baseball t eam will check out the thirteenth of this month, with many let termen returning. Don "Red" Hansen a letterman for two years will return. Pit chers Lefty Glass and Andy Aguilar will be back. Willie Jennings will probably play .first base because of t he graduation of Bob Sauer. Bob Williams, who starred in Legion baseball, will n ot par ticipate because of his weak eyes. Don Lovell who will be at shortst op has lettered two years.

How fast can you drive your cal" at night with safety? A recent survey by W. C. Giess· !er, mechanical engineer for the state of Illinois, revealed that thirty-one miles per hour was the average p ermissable speed, allowing three seconds time for the driver to put his brakes on. The 1937 cars allowed an average visibility of 264 feet, and an actual braking efficiency of 75 per cent of their designed ability. Cal· culations of these brake and light conditions allowed an a verage speed of thirty-eight miles per hour for the 1937 model cars and only nineteen miles per hour for cars 7 years old.

a.nu juniors who pay · class due" be split into two groups, namely one group that pays a nickel for the class dues alone and the other group that pays 10 cents, the extra nickel for their pictures in the .

If this recommendat on passes the student affairs corhmittee, it is very likely that it wi!f become an actual practice in Lincoln high. Will Relieve Some of Payin9 Extra The mot ion w,a s presented in the hopes tha t it"' might a ct as an equalizer betwe en the seniors and other classes and also there are some who cannot obtain t en cen ts and who especially don't care if their pictures a r e in the Links with their home room. John Douglass, president, outlined the posters that are seen in a ll the home r.ooms to advertise J oy Night and at the same time reminded the council of their duty in calling all former graduates whose n a mes ha ve been assigned them. A list of business men's clubs was read and a plan to ha ve the council members speak at these clubs was stressed. Time Sheets Important The value of keeping the council time sheets_wa s emphasized by Miss Helen Dunlap. The Joy Night committee worked Thursday and Friday to prepare for the Joy Night assembly and radio program last Saturday. The plan to have a parade w as discontinued due to the in advisability of such an event for any advertising gains.

Advocate Has . Anniversarv "
Paper Celebrates Its Forty-fourth Birthday As School Publication March 13, the Advocate celebr ated its forty-fourth birthday. The p ap er was first published in Ma rch, 1895, and has successfully withstood many setbacks. The idea was conceived by H enry Tucker and Maurice Berkson from a · magazine published by. a school in California. The first Advocate was an eight-page monthly. In the second year the Advocate was handicapped by indifference of some pupils and friends were n eeded badly. Finally the staff asked the aid of the athletic department. A minstrel show was given and netted $40 of which the Advocate got $5. At the beginning of the third year, the athletic . board furnished the . necessary funds at the request of the staff. The athletic department got its reward years later when the Advocate gave hundreds of dollars from its profit s to help in the building of the oval. In 1915, the paper was cha nged from a monthly to a weekly publication.

New Member .loins Monkey Colony At Lincoln's Antelope Park Zoo·· Who ever heard_ of a mother sitting a ll day · picking fleas off her child?!! Well , there is such a parent. She resides in the winter quarters building of the Lincoln zoo. The baby was born March 4 and offers its mother quite a · problem in keeping him from biting his twenty finger nails. The proud parent is a vervet monkey whose natural habitat is in Africa. She has been in the keeping of the zoo for three years and from all appearances, is quite contented to stay there and tend her new offspring. The baby will remain wi t h its mother for about a year. In that time it is weaned and will begin
feeding on leafy vegetables. This newest addition to the zoo · has bright blue .eyes which will later turn to a dark brown. He turns his head from his mother's shoulder and his wry little body can be seen clearly. The infant's pink skin is tufted with fine hairs which make him look as though it had just been drenched in a pail of water, even down to the tip of his tail, which is already about twice as long as the little fellow himself. e The baby, about six inches high, · Is held tenderly in his mother's . · ·a rms, just as a human baby is ' held, and he too looks contented and happy, regardless of the multitude of "funny faces" peering through the bars at him.

fascinating theme of the exotic Latin quarter of Paris, holds in store for -its audience one of the most exciting and enjoyable arr a ys of acts that have ever been dis played at Lincoln high according to the judges who viewed t he dress. rehearsal la st night. A considerable amount of difficulty was encountered by the Advocate in securing the names of these a cts as an air of mystery and secrecy surrounds this important highlight in the school year. When the curtain r ises, the audience sees En Route to Joy Night presented by the Mummers. Among other a cts are : "In the La tin Quarter of Paris" by boys glee club, "An Artist's Dream" by Orpheons, fancy baton twirling , " The W edding of the Painted Doll" by the Clef club, the G. A. A. Gendarmes, the latest Paris Fashions by the L club,· a n accordian sex tette, the Peppers in P a ris, the American Embassy Kids by the commercia l club. An a ct which is a dark secret by the faculty, the Petite Prancer and Rolling Rock ets, constitute three va rieties of fun . Legerdemain is to be shown by the debate squad and El Toro Ferocio is the sketch by home room representatives. A twin tap is on the program and the last of the seventeen big acts will be given by the girls glee. · Hundreds Take Part. - - - ---· -_:-;::;---- - -- - - - . -

Shamrock Time in Ireland Is St. Patrick's Day Not ma\].y of the persons that celebrate St. P atrick's day k now anything about eit her St. Patr ick or the shamrock. Each year mil· lions celebrate St. Patrick 's clay on March 17, but re ally do not know why. When still a boy St. Patri ck was carried off to Ireland by raiders. He spent six years in bondag·e, then escaped to Eng-land where he was ordained a priest. He studied for years in Gaul. Returning agai n to Ireland, he was not a slave, but a man to bring th e blessings of Chr istianity. St. Patrick taught the great Christian doctrine of the T rinity by plucking a leaf of shamrock and pointing to the three perfee.t leaves gr owing from one stem. From that day t o this the sharnl'ock has been used as the emblem of Ireland. Before St. Patrick 's day, there were Christians in Ireland, but he really started the progress of Christianity in Ireland. It is said he established more t han 360 churches in that country.

Between The Covers·
Open Forum The students of Lincoln high have recently witnessed the elec· tion of the respective class offi· cers. These represent the popular choice of the major~ty of the school, and it is undo~btedly, a good one. But now the time has come to inquire just what it is these officers were elected to do. For- and you remember that Lin· coln high supposedly has repre· sentative self- government- as far as an appalling number of students know, the class officers, and the student council are merely names. It can safely be said that the majority of the s chool neither knows of the spe· cific duties of these two bodies nor takes the ortuble to find out. It may b e true that these organi· zations perform many services which improve the school, mean· while keeping its members extremely busy. But there is abso• lutely no reason why these duties are not made public for the entire school to know of .and discuss. The original idea of self-government has been completely lost in the jumble of confusion and misdi· r eeled ideas which have resulted. Lincoln high's system of government should not be so compli· cated that its students are un· able to understa:na it. Tha t the student body does not understand, is of irreparl).ble damage to the public morale and an insult to every pupil's intelligence. Such a sit uation must not preva il at Lincoln high school. · Y et what else can you ex pect, students, w hen you yourselves have a ssumed such a n attitude of indifference! Noth· ing can sooner bring about the r uination of a country than to have its people taking no active pa rt in their government and to have not the slightest desire to. Do you think a school will fare better tpan a country in this mat· ter? Indifference ·is the deadli· est enemy of democracy and selfgovernment, whether it be in a country, a city, or in a s chool. - Elaine Rosenblum. Editor's note : The.

wa s the first time i. 'had ever heard a debate and I wa s thor oughly im· pressed. There are always those w ho don't care to understand these . things , but for the mos t part I think I'm safe in saying that there a re quite a few who really do want to ·know more about t hese vital questions ; anyway t hey s hould because they are the gen· eration coming up a nd will have · t o face these things more se· r iously tha n they think. I put in my vote enthusiastic• ally for more debate assemblies. ~_:_A Junior. To t he Editor : 'i-1 I wish to offer the real solu• t ion why the r ats died in your recent s tory in the Advocat e called " Rats Instructo.rs in Utah School." I used t o make it a business to raise rats as pe ts and I do know a little a bout their diet and a student's lunch or anybody's lunch is poison as far as a rat is con· cerned. A rat cannot eat fresh or sta le bread because it will cu rdle in his stoma ch. A rat must eat hard bread or bread that is dried out, or corn, wheat, anything that is h ard in or der to survive. A rat cannot eit soft foods without en· da ngering his health. No wonder these rats died. Those that s ur· vived were just lucky. - E rich Henry · Hartmann. To the E ditor: A few weeks ago an article appeared in this paper about hopping street· cars . A l· though a lot of p eople do11't know it, this is a ver y dangerous h abit. During the winter months t he boys hop the car s so that they will not have to walk in t he cold, but t hey are not satisfied w ith this, so in t he summer months they hop the cars for the fun of riding. This h abit must be stopp_ed. It no t only endan gers the lives of t he boys who do this , but. when they p ull a t rolley at n ight the lig hts are out a nd cars might run into the trolley. Persons of hig h s ch ool age should have more sense and set an example for younger boys and girls . So, let's a ll t ry t o s ta mp out t his dan gerous habit.· Dick Ch apin.-

Well I'll be dizelled! there goes one of those concen trated, black, narrow waistband tricks w ith the big fla re. N ot bad, I rather like 'em in fact, but why not put some more color in them.

In 1774, on a hot July noon, a bridge in Peru broke and there fe ll with it into the deep gulf be· low, five people. Brother Juniper, a Francisca n priest, was one of those to witness the !all of the Bridge of San Luis Rey. A s he looked into the depths of the val• ley below, where somewhere lie those bodies, he wondered: "Why did that happen t o THOSE five? Would this not be a chance to justify the ways of God to man?" If there was any patern at all to God's plan of life and death it might be discovered in the inti· mate lives of those five persons. H e resolved . then, to attempt to trace the course of the innermost lives of those people from birth to the day they were hurled to sudden death. The five victims of the Bridge were: Marquesta de Monte· m ayor, disillusioned and despised old woman who learned the true m eaning of love through a · poor orphan g irl; Pepita; Esteban, one of t he foundling twins, w hose life and devotion to one another form an interesting chapter of this book; Uncie Pio, whose. life had three a ims, independence, r ever• ence for beauty and charm, desire to be near those who loved Span· ish literature and the thea ter. He longed t o write poetry. He n ever knew tha t m any of the songs he ha d written became folk song1:1 ye ars la ter. He made famous a little girl. He aided her in he· coming one of the greatest of ac· tresses. On that fat eful noon he and .her small son, Don Jaime, were on their w a y across the bridge w hen it broke and pr·ecipi· tated the five t ravelers into the gulf below . Thus the tale of these five_lives, their fortunes and their misfor· tunes, some in more and some in less years of their daily comings a nd goings, form the main chap· ters of the book "Bridge of San Luis Rey," by Thornton Wilder.

Debaters Talk: At Assemblies Speakers Discuss Need Of an Anglo-American Alliance for Peace Non-decision, cross examination debates between variOus members of the Lincoln high school debate teams were features of the "A" and "B" assemblies, Tuesday and Thursday of last week. Con testants in the "A" assembly debating the feasibility of an alliance between Great Britain and the United States, were George Blackstone and Robert Weil on the affirmative, and Romulo Soldevilla and John Jay Douglass on the negative. Speakers in the "B" assembly were Romulo Soldevilla and Robert Guenzel on the affirmative and George Blackstone and Robert Weil upholding the negath e. A cross examinatbn debate dif· fers from that of a formal one, in that the opposition may ask questions of the speaker. All debaters In this case, apparently took a great advantage of this opportunity. Main issue of the affirmative a t the "A" assembly, was based on the fact that the United States h as much trade with foreign nations and "only by cooperation with Great Britain can we hope t o insure the greatest degree of protection to our commerce." In retaliation t he negative asserted that America's trade at the present , time is as secure as . it would be if the nation weJe to be allied with Engla nd. "Our trade can and must be maintained through neutral intern ational cooperation and not through intangling alliances," claimed the negative speaker. Chairma n of the "A" assembly w as Robert Guenzel and the timekeeper of the debate was Gene Bradley. John Jay Douglass was the chairman on Thursday.
Conduct in Lunch Room Discussed Conduct in the cafeteria was discussed at the regular meeting of the· home room representatives Wednesday. It was ·a nnounced that the representatives will be stationed in the lunch room as monitors , very soon. Two n ew a m endments which are before the house, were read by the p resident, Robert Schlater, and are to be voted on at the next meeting. They are: Article 5-Election of officers. Section 1. Class officers shall be nominated by the end of the second week of each semester, and elected not later than the fourth Monday (instead of end of third week). Section 2. Wher e participation in contest With other schools might b e checked by the (E. C. A. ) limitations, the pupil may appeal ·in writing to the student affairs committee, or to the principal, showing cause why he should be allowed to carry more than the statutory limit. This request should be consid· ered in view of the pupil's working load in and out of school. His :;chola rship, his. citizenship, and whether or not such a ctivity would in a ny sense limit or prevent the participation of others capable of c arrying the activity. No minutes were read, because the secretary, Mary House, was doing her s ha re of the "yellin" at the tournament g a,me between Lincoln and Norfolk. Emma Seifert wrote the minutes to be presented at the next meeting. Joy Nig ht was stressed. Every home room r epresentative .is to call or get in contact with a t least ten people and personally adver· tise Joy Night.
Students Prove Sportsmanship Peppers, il1, fact. the whole school, tried to show a certain local sports writer that he is not quite right in his accusation of Lin coln high school's school spirit toward J ack son by being out in full force to root ·for J ackson. "Please!" say the Peppers, "it's a little la t e now , but w hy not cooperate with the club?" This h as been asked for time a nd time again a nd yet in the last sta te t ournament, some Lincoln high pupils sat in the place r eserved for Peppe rs. These, and other points on sportsmanship wer e discussed in the meeting Friday.

Senior Picture Deadline Called
Educators Stress Value of Democracy At Convention Attended by Mardis
Senior pictures for the Links are deadlined at March 20. The engraving fee of the seniors will be due March 17. Clos'! to 300 copies of the '39 Links have been sold by Frank Kane's salesmanship classes and · the Links staff. Gene Bradley and Larry Wentz are tying for top honors in copies sold; Gene having sold 40 and Larry, 35. The period 2 salesmanship class is far ahead of the period 1 class, having sold more than twice as many. As the goal for Links copies sold this year is 1,500, the. students who are selling itre really going to make ·an a ttempt to set a school record, but as yet they have been selling copies at the rate of last year.
Democracy in the schools was the biggest thing in the National E ducat ion association convention, according to a review of the assembly by H. C. Mardis. The most impor tant conciusion reached was that if we practice sane consistent democracy in our schools, we need
In The Classes The first period German 3 class heard phonograph records Of famous German songs by Goethe and Heine. The songs played on the Victrola we; ;e "Heidenroslein" by Goethe, "The Lorelei,'· and "The Two Grenadiers" by Schiller n.nd "The Earlkonig" by Heine. In the past week the students memorized the songs and sang them in class. "The Lorelei" .is the famed song which was banned from Germany because Heine, the composer, was a Jew. The first three issues of "Le Petit Journal" were received by the students of Miss Annetta Sprung's French classes. They are writen in . French w ith a few English sidehotes and have not only news stories, but songs, jokes and crossword puzzles. One article writen by a French chef declared the American ha mburger to be the best dish introduced into France by the United States. When Miss Valeria BonneU's fifth period French class could not remember whether the word bot· tie in French was feminine or mas· culine, she remarked that the way one of her pupils of a previous year remembered, was that a bottle was curved; therefore, it is feminine. Mrs. Ruby .Farr was substitute f .-;, ,.

120 last week. Miss Murray was not able to attend because of a death in t he family. The electrical tra des class re· cently made a visit to West Lin· coln where the power lines for the Tri-county electrification project a re · being er ected. Three cars were taken and _when the pu pils return ed to school, the cars were somewhat dirty ; therefore, about ten boys were seen in the auto shop industriously washing them after school. The new club schedule, appearing n ear the main bulletin board just outside the office, was built through the co-oper ation of Mr. Johnson, Norman Herdt and Mr. Evan's classes. Mr. Johnson d esigned it and Norman H erdt drew the plans f or it. Having been completed, the plans were turned over to Mr. E van's classes . for the a ctual construction. Study and experi.,m.ents on bacteria ha ve shown Miss Mary Bardwell's bota ny cla sses that there are 2,000 different species of bact eria. They usu ally occur in masses upon whatever furnishes them with .food. Some are tiny, measuring only 1-25,000 square inch in diameter and 1-10,000 square inch in length. Some forms are even smaller. T hey have no color and are n ot visible except with a microscope. Their form is a s hape of minute sphe re and rod s haped. Miss Gladys Dana 's and Miss Helen Wilson's a rt classes visit ed the art gallery at Morrill ha ll Thurs day, during their regula r class periods . Miss Jean Holt z, graduate of Lincoln high and art student at the university, told a little about the pictures. Miss Daria and Miss Wilson also called attention to certain pictures. Sev· eral students voted for their favorite pictures.
not fear outside subversive influ· ences. "The chief difficulty with democracy in our schools," Mr. Mardis stated, "is that we have so little of it." There is a definite cycle of th is non-democratic spirit. The teachers are n ot democratic toward the pupils; the pupils are not democratic toward other pupils; and the pupils are not democratic toward teachers. "The general trend of t he meeting indicated,'' he continued, "that we need not fear propaganda if we take pains to explain our own democracy." We sometimes show the good points of other countries and in so doing make them look better than our own. If we would continue to show, in all fairness, the g ood points of foreign nations, but at the same time let it be known that we are proud of our own country
Book Presented L. If. S. Librarv .. A new book entitled "Our Ba tt le" by Hendrik Willem van Loon has been presented to the library by Miss Olivia P ound. It is considered a one man's answer to "My Battle" by Adolf Hitler. Concerning German government and politics, it tells of Hitler's ambitions and accomplishment s. According to the cover, "Our Battle" is a call to action a nd a ringing defense of d emocracy faced by the threat of fascism everywhere.
Assemblv .. Shows Joy Night Sample Personalities appearing in Joy Night appeared in double assembly Monday morning. The curtain opened on a music ,.t11 d in in t.h<> IiR.t.in Qii,.rt.er in Paris in w hich t he professor, played by Romulo Soldeyilla, was await ing the arrival of two Ameri~ can students. Dorothy Weirich and J ack Anderson entered. and, after many apologies for their tardiness, sang "Donkey Serenade" and de· parted. The professor was next interrupted by a girl who wanted his studio as a place to rehearse. The tap dance was given by Norma Patter son accompanied at the piano by Margaret Shrader. Then followed a n accordion sext et composed of Betty Lou Hodg· son , Marjorie Estes, Dorothy .s tar• er. Robert Sexton, Frederic Tunberg and John Coulter. The departure was punctu ated by sobs and loud wails of a ballet dancer, Ardis Lyman, ca used by the fact tha t she couldn't a tten d J oy Nig ht. He in turn offered her a m agic broom to transport her, and the comic ballet dance w hich followed show ed t he success of the proffered device.

insidious propaganda will be def eated. Despite the numerous rumors, articles and stories about "smart" crooks, James A. Johnston, f or six years · the warden of Alcatraz prison, states, "It is a myth about criminals being educated persons. ' H. C. Mardis heard the speech given by the Warden at the National education ·association convention at Clevela.nd, Ohio, last week. Only two men under his chat'ge ever claimed to be college graduates, the Warden .is quoted as declaring. But after the men had been quizzed about their college years, one admitted his education consisted of a college correspendence course taken while he was in prison. The other. finally said that he had quit school while in the sixth grade and .he had only stated that he . was a college graduate in the hope of a better job in the prison yards. The warden went on by saying that a h igh per cent of criminals had quit school during the s1xth grade. "If you want to stop criminality watch the withdrawals from school," said t h e warden. "The schools," he declared, "are being supported by tax money; Courses should be offered so that everybody would want to go t o school."

Fred Metheny got the ball and took it down the floor and took a one-handed loop shot from the side that connected. The Links, playing a grand defensive game, took the l;>all again before the Blue Jays had a chance to shoot. The spectators saw Metheny's feat duplicated again and Metheny made it 4-2 for Lincoln. Duffy again took over the controlling interests in the game by capitalizing on the foul called against him, McGinn getting two points out of a follow in shot. Then Jennings came back for the Links and made the most of his free shot. Roach and McGinn Hit.

Linl{s Mern1en Tal{e Y, 40-26 Five Firsts Taken as Oldfield Breaks Two Records in Backstroke Seeing the pool record and the state record broken in the 100 yard backstroke and garnering five firsts out of the possible eight, the Lincoln high mermen took a closely disputed meet out of the coveting hands of the Lincoln Y, M. C. A., 40-26, Wednesday. Oldfield Cracks Record. Les Oldfied, crack backstroker, took a well fought race and record from Dick Marshall in the 100 back. Marshall grabbed the record two weeks ago from Oldfield and held it successfully until Les outswan; him by one-tenth of a sec- · ond. This record, 1 :08.5, was better than the pool record of 1 :08 .6 and it broke the state mark of 1 :08.6, but as it was not in a state meet, the record wasn't officially changed. There is to be no state m eet this year due to the scarcity of teams to be entered. George Cr.a ncer: started out in the 40 yard freestyle and brought back a first in that· event. He was closely followed by Snyder of the Y , who took second, and Mitchell, third. The score was Lincoln 5-Y. M. 4. The 100 yard breaststroke was easily cinched by Fred Swihart, former member of the Links squad, who was graduated last June, but the real battle was between Lofink and Heiny, both ot Lincoln, with Heiny outdistancing Lofink in the last length. The winner was clocked at 1:16.5. Snyder Captures 220. Snyder, Y., took the 220 in his stride and came out with nearly a .l.ength's lead over Bill Ammon of Lincoln who touched second and Tom Davis, Lincoln, who took third. This put the lead in the hands of the Y., 1'-13, but this lead was shortlived because of Oldfield's smashing victory in the 100 yard backstroke and Marshall's garnering of second. Pendleton of the Y. trailed the leaders and got third. The running score was 21-15 and this was the lead that the Links did not release their hold Hilgert Takes 100 Free. Don Hilgert came through in his pet event, the 100 yard freestyle in a fine manner by virtue of a good lea d and came within four-tenths of a second of breaking the state record, 57.6. Bob Holman, Y., · gathered in second and Kimball, Lincoln, got third. The score now read Lincoln, 27-Y., 18. Diving Won by Hutton. Bill Hutton won first place in the diving event. He received 197.9 points in his eight dives and repeated his defeating of Coffin, Y. diver, who scored 192.8. Gerald Henderson, Lincoln, came up with 148.8 to give him third place. · The 180 yard medley went in favor of the Y. swimmers who had Dutton, backstroke; Swihart, breaststroke; Mitchell, freestyle; taking the event in 1 :53.7. The score now read 33-26 and a victory in the last canto would have spelled a win for the Y. 180 Relay Brought Home. The 180 relay ended the events and it was easily taken by Lincoln, who had Hilgert, Crancer, Edwards and Marshall all swimming freestyle. The meet was nip and tuck till the final touching the side in the la.st event. The summary: 40 yai-d freestyle: Won by Crancer L.; se cond, Snyder, Y.; third, Mitchell, Y.

Lincoln high's swimming team won its last meet of the season Saturday "afternoon at the YMCA by a score of 49-17. George Crancer won his 40 yard freestyle event in a flashy sprint ahead of Snyder of the Y. Swihar t, Y, outdistanced Lincoln high's Bill Lofink to take first in the breast stroke event. Snyder Gets Cramp In the 220 freestyle Ammon, Lincoln, and Snyder, Y, were "neck and neck" till Snyder developed a cramp in. his leg and then it was all Amman's race. Lincoln high 's up and coming backstroket, Dick Marshall, won that event with ease. Don Hilgert, freestyler, failed an attempt at a. new 100 yard freestyle record but finished far ahead of his opponents. · Win Diving and Relays In the diving event Bill Hutton, Lincoln, outclassed Coffin, Y, to win his event 8.6 points ahead of his rival. Then in the 180 yard relay, . won by Lincoln, Marshall gained the lead and after McMahon took over it was cinched with Kimball doing the final touch. The last event, also won by Lin· coin, was the 160 yard relay, Saf• ford, Ammon, Edwards kept a close race and then Hilgert took over and won with yards to spare, making the final score L. H.

manual work for the Lincoln high this year. With a·whirl of fight until the final gun sounded, the Lincoln sophomore basketball team bowed to the Havelock reserves Wednes• day, 19-18. The shoptown boys Were led by Nelson, Hulbert and McKinney while Deffenbaugh und Wiedman look best for Lincoln. Bob McCracken showed a fine display of free throws, getting 3 for 3. Irvin Marshall has been working out at the stadium and has good possibilities of being one of the best 440 a nd 880 men for the team. Irvin played on the sophomore football team and hopes to Jeter on the varsity this year. Gayland "Lefty" Glass, a junior, looks like the best ·left handed pitcher Lincoln will have this year. Lefty led the pitchers last year and won two and lost three. Lefty played on .the Lincoln Blues in '37 and pitched a little in the city league last year. Lefty has gained considerable weight which will help him very much in pitching. Robert "Truck" Williams will again participate in baseball. His parents reconsidered the ma tter and gave their cunsent. Bad eyes was the cause of the controversy. Bob will be a candidate for second base, the position he played for the state championship Blues. Harold Lovell, junior, is ineligible for high school b-,tseball this y ear. He was being counted on to play the outfield _,a position he ·played for the Blues. Ray Zimmerman, '36, will play profesional baseball on a .St. Louis Cardinal farm in Alabama this summer. Ray played in the Texas league for two months last ~um mer, · but · becarrie .sick and was sent to Alabama: - Ray was asked to report to Alabama to see if he had recovered enough to report back to the Texas league . Harvey Lauer, a junior, who lettered· in football, and basketball will report for baseball this year. Harvey played Legfon ball for two years and looks like a good candidate for third base. The most improved basketball player, according to the coaches, is Bob Weygint, a junior. Last year Bob tried out for the reserves but • couldn't make the grade. This year Bob came back and made first team, and is improving rapidly. Bob is one of the smallest men on the team and should go great guns next yea r. The Deans, basketball t eam composed of former Lincoln high L men, claimed the city class A b asketball title at Everett school March 7, by defeating their opponents with a final score of 4427. Sharing high point honors, were Nick Francis and Junior Ennen, who sank fourteen points each. Harvey Lauer was so excited for the last game of the regional tournament that he reported to the shower rooms without his suit. While the boys on the team tore their hair and did a little praying on the side, "Hook" "barreled" home for his forgoten "duds," .returning just two minutes · before the team went out on the floor. Two to one he won't forget them again.

Lincoln State Contenders. Besides winning the District Champioµship, Lincoln previously this semester bas won championships at the Midland, Peru and Hastings invitational meets. Because of its impressive record this year in the art of forensics, the powerful Lincoln debate team will be considered as a very important factor in deciding the outcome of the state meet.

Postman's Mistake Determines Name Of L.H.S. Pupil How would you pronounce Rae? So did the postmaster, and the pronounciation caused Mr. Rae to change the spelling of his name. Annajean Ray's · great grandfather, who came to the United States from Ireland in 1857, didn't get his mail when he asked, "Is there any mail for Mr. Rae?" Several months passed with no word from his former home. He finally decided the postmaster might have made a mistake in the pronouriciation. since others had.

Link,s Board States Ideas Board Chairman Issues Statement Concerning Pictures for Classes Because a proposal pending before the student council concerning sophomore and · junior class dues, as reported in thlO Advocate of March 15, involves the Links, the Links board has issued a state- . ment on a phase of the matter which was not reported in the account of the. council resolution, with a request that it be taken into consideration. "A section containing sophomore and junior pictures was add~d to the Links as the result .of request from our own student body and suggestion from national judging associations," writes Miss Sarah T. Muir, chairman of the board. "If any coniderable number of underclassmen indicated that they did not wish their pictures in the Links, that section would of necessity be dropped out. There would be rio justification for including a selected group. "The Links board stands ready to follow the will of the council as expressed in the recent motion , but .wishert me to supply this
Advocate Staff Again Shifted Don Wilson, Jeanne Schroede~ Are Heads For Next Six Weeks During the second six weeks of the semester, the Advocate will be published under a new staff. It is the custom f<lr the staff to change positions every six weeks. Managing editor is Donald Wilson and news editor, Jeanne Schroeder. Other position are as follows: associate editor, Mary Louise Babst; page two editor, Jeannette Eichorn; page three editor, Ona Beth O'Connell; sports · editor, Arthur Rangeler; girls sports. editor, Hope Kurtzer; columnist, Richard Heinz; librarian, Marjorie Clark; exchange editor, Robert Peterson; literary editor, Patricia Peterson; editorial editor, Shirley Kushner; copy editors, Merlin An· derson, Llilian Horn, Jayne Lynn, Robert Miller, Dorothy Rae and Norman Spurlock; reporters, Hal Bosserman, Harold Goldblatt, Lillian Hegel, William Jennings, Alan Jordan, Mary Kay Marshall, Lucille Obbink, Wallace Provost, Arthur Stover and George Wer" ner; circulation manager, Betty Lou Tracy.

Safety, Joy Night Council Topics Student Council Debates Question of a Third Night for Joy Night Discussing the possibilities of extending Joy Night through three nights as was done in Joy Night of la.st year was the main course of events at the student council meeting last Wednesday. Joy Night, last year, was extended and t)Je extra night was held on Tuesday along with the customary Friday and Saturday. Miss Helen Dunlap pointed out that the board of education .has a policy against scheduling school affairs on sclfuol nights. Part of the proceeds were announced as going for new band uniforms. Safety Topics Discussed. Bicycle racks for the north rield to prevent congestion and to preserve safety to ·the bicyclists, were another subject of suggestions. The present system does not utilize all the available space and on rainy days · many of the bicycles are strewn over the sidewalks. A plan to put sand around these racks was also brought up. P.arking lots behind the school received attention and the saving of space was emphasized.

M. K. Kristoffersen Tells of Plans For Rearranging the City Library "The main reason for rearr.a nging the city library is to provide more room, thus making the library less congested," said Magnus K. Kristoffersen, associate librarian. The stairs which led from the outside to the children's department have been removed and · patrons will descend to the children's department directly from the main door. The removal of the previously used stairs will provide more floor space for the departments. "The reference section . will especially benefit by the change. Books that are now in store rooms· can be put out for use since there will be more space," added Mr. Kristoffersen. There will be a larger seating capacity and more workers will help the pupils. Also there will be
a new rack for encyclopedias. The new "World Book," just received a month or so ago, will he with this group. "People get so pink in their faces when looking on the lower shelves that we are removing the books from these shelves," commented Mr. Kristoffersen. The lighting in the library is poor. The visibility in some places is as low. as two candle-power. The library hopes to better these conditions. Special attention is being paid to the interests of young people and their books. A special corner of the juvenile room is being devoted to books for the high school age. "We think that by these changes we will be able to serve the public better. The improvement of the building and conveniences will tend to increase civic pride, concluded Mr. Kristoffersen.
Senior Debate Kings Chosen
Soulful Soliloquy of Succumbing Survivor Looking around I see that most of us survived the mad race, or · maybe I should say free-for-all, to be first In line · for our Joy Night tickets. After thinking the situation over I decided that I'm a very fortunate person to nave had the opportunity to secure my ticket Friday at 3:10 rather than wait till last Monday and join in the mad race by maybe killing a friend. But when the whole thing is scrutinized see that this interception is caused by all of us having a lot of spirit for our dear old alma mater . and a lot of faith in Joy Night. I myself, hav~ never been quite so proud "" the t i me ·' was first in line · to get my Joy Night ticket. All I had to do was knock down about four · or· five of my friends, slug two or three, and give another a good push ·down the stairs. Oh yes, it's quite an honor to be able to boast about being first in line to get your ticket. "The Big Shot."

Finds Fault With Schc.ol,~·That. the American schools are over-organized is the opinion of Lionel C. Robson, headmaster of the Sidney Church of England Grammar School, one of the leading private secondary schools in Sidney,, the Christian Monitor recently decided. Mr. Robson w)Jo recently returned from a tour of the United Kingdom, the United States, Sweden and Finland declared that American Schools are · very well equipped, but they try to do consciously many things which in England and Australia are accompanied by the. environment of the schools. He expressed opmion that American schools are too conscious of the effort to produce character, in· itiative and. leadership. The result is that the Work Jacks spontaneity and has the appearance of sophistication. Mr. Robson attributed this deficiency to the unemployment situation which he says throws a heavy strain on educational systems. He said that English schools were doing better work than any school he visited.

Swan and Heiser won defending the negative on the question, resolved that the railroads · in the United States · should be govern· mentally owned and operated. Class Champions Will Meet. Later, the senior victors will meet champions from the other classes to decide which is to be the Lincoln high school intramural forensics champions of 1939. Harold, who is a newcomer from the state of Montana, has had little experience in debating, whereas his collegue ·has taken a. perequisite course in argumentation. To his experience in journalism, which gave him a certain degree of poise and the ability to express his thoughts concisely and clearly, Harold gives a great deal of the credit for aiding him in the tournament.

Cornhusker Boys Will Form State Boys Run Mock State Sponsored hy Legion For One Week in June Cornhusker boys will again form a mythical forty-ninth state from June 10 to 17 this year when the American Legion sponsors for the second time a boy's state. All boys who are juniors in high school are eligible, though only five representatives will be accepted from any one senatorial district. Boys must be sponsored by some local organization which will pay their fees of $12.50 each and will provide their transportation to and from Lincoln. The American Legion suzgests that any organization wishl.ng to sponsor a boy have a .local committee composed of local school and church authorities and Boy Scout officials choose the most outstanding junior. The aim of the American Legion in sponsoring this Cornhusker Boys' State is to bring to Ne,braska boys a knowledge of American government through actual practice and to show them that a representative democracy is fundamentally right. For eight days the. boys will have and run their own city, county and state governments and will elect all their own officials. Laws will be passed and courts will function. .T .a=i- . ;1,•...o..n.:.i: ±M l"n rn h.;,_1c;;;:kf-':r B0-vs•
State was first tried in Nebra;lrn and 252 high school juniors participated in the experiment. This year Nebraska will be one of 25 states to try such a plan. The idea originated in Illinois in 1935. While attending the Boys' State, members · will have many facilities for recreation but the American Legion stresses the fact that it is not a recreational project, but one designe to give boys a practical working knowledge of the structure of government.
Senior Speakership Candidates Confer Senior speakership candidates received official notice of a conference called for Wednesday, March 22, in room 203 at 3:15. Attend· ance is not compulsory, but this is the only meeting that will be called. Candidates are to bring qutlstions.

Junior Must Attend Night Driving Class Four weeks attending driving school is the p enalty for Vernon Heckman ,a junior, for crossing the street before coming to the intersection. He was. riding his bicycle turning north on Twentyseventh and 0 streets when Officer Campbell made his arrest. He attends driving school on each Wednesday night from 7:30 till 8:30 o'clock.
'Sleepy' Wins Turtle Race by a Shell With 'Clark Gable' Coming in Second "Come · on there," "Hurry up Clark," and "The Winner," were some of the expressions shouted at the five brave turtles that were brought out {or the turtle race, Tuesday, March 14. In preparation for the race a large circle was drawn with chalk on the floor. A very small circle was drawn in the middle of the first one. Then all the turtles were placed in the small circle and Jet loose at the. same time. · Some of them had to have a little coaxing before they would
move. The last one to cross the chalk line was eliminated and the rest were started over again. This race eliminated another turtle and in that way the winner, "Sleepy," a turtle belonging to Erich Hartmann, was determined. Coming in second was Clark Gable;" belonging to Mary Kay Marshall. Another turtle belonging to Erich B:artmann claimed third place. This race. was ' a . feature of the pet club . and the turtles participating in it will be placed in the cases across from the office,
Junior Class Will Present British Play . Mysterious Comedy, 'Laburnum Grove,' Is Selected for Annual Dramatic Endeavor Mystery and comedy will combine in "Lauburnum Grove," the play which the juniors put into rehearsal last week. A tentative cast of three girls and six boys has been selected, but parts have not definitely been assigned. Paul Toren heads the advertising committee. Working under him making posters are Rachael Ann Lock, Turney Sharrar, Shirley Spaulding and Barbara Ernesti. Mary Jo Latsch and Virginia F(>rd are in charge of properties. Jane Watkins has been chosen prompter and Catherine Wells will be call girl. In charge of costumes is Merriam Mann and Margaret Rosborough will help in the girl's dressing room. Robert Schaufel• berger is stage manager. Modern Melodrama. The play was written by J. B. Priestley and was first produced in London by Cedric Bardwicke during the 1933 season. The scene is laid in Laburnum Grove, Shoot· ers Green, a suburb of North London. George Radfern, about whom the play revolves, is seemingly a respectable business man engaged in the wholesale paper trade whose only other interest lies in growing tomatoes in his green house. His daughter Elsie, a discontented girl of 20, finds him much too stodgy. Elsie's opinion is shared by her uncle, Bernard Baxley, who is all for adventure, particularly the kind that doesn't involve any hard work. He and his wife, Lucy, have been paying the Radferns a visit of indefinite length. A younger edition of Uncle Bernard is Harold Russ, who has conveniently fallen in love with the wellto-do Elsie. Mrs. Radfern sides with her husband as does Mr. Radfern's to· ma to-growing companion, Joe Fletten. How ins pector Stack of Scotland Yard and Sergeant Morris of the local police force became involved with this typical suburban family leads to a complex but thoroughly amusing mystery. A hint of the forth coming junior play is given by the various poster ti ties suggested by Miss Olivia Pound. B esides the original name: "Laburnum Grove," the names Fool's Gold, Easy Money, Counterfeit, Excess Baggage and many other titles have been suggested to use on the various posters.
Legion Auxiliary Plans Girl's Stat~ Counterpart of the Boy's State, inaugurated in Lincoln a year ago, a Girl's State has been planned to be sponsored by the Nebraska American Legion auxiliary. Organization is rapidly nearing completion, according to the announce· ment made at the state headquarters recently. Heading the activity is a committee of which Mrs. R. GI Simmons is chairman. Assisting her as vice chairman is Mrs. W. J. Mcvicker, Girl's State secretary, and Mrs. 0. W. Webb. To be eligible for Girl's State the applicants must be at least sixteen years old, not more than eighteen, and juniors in high school this year. One and maybe two will be chosen from unicameral districts, civic clubs, women's group and other organizations sponsoring girls who show outstanding qualities for leadership.
Concert Series Being Prepared The orchestra is busy preparing for a series of appreciation con·
certs to be given this semester. These concerts, arranged every semester for . all the grade schools, will be given at Everett. Irving and Whittier junior high schools. The orchestra will also give a vesper concert April 16, at which time James Price, concert meister, accompanied by the orchestra, will play "The Concerto in G minor" by Bruch. Some of the numbers to be heard on the coming concerts are, "Traum Pantomine" from the suite of "Hansel and Gretel," "March of the Tin Soldier" by Pieine, "Procession of the Sardai." and "In the Mosque" from the "Caucasian Sketches."

Spring Inspires Pupils To Dust Off Brains Spring not only brings longer sunny days and more time for outdoor activities, but also spring cleaning. At home , mother is found taking advantage of these glorious warm days, busily dusting and airing everything thorough· ly after a long winter of nse. Spring cleaning not only pertains to homes, but minds too. }; ow is the time to dust the cobwebs out of that old brain. Shake it good and air it or expos e it to new subjects, new ideas and new school activities. Get out of that old rut , start anew. Those who have been working hard studying will find themselves growing· mummyfi Nl and lonesome unless they change and go in more for sports and enter into things which ·will bring them into ~ontact with people .•Just the opposite applies to those who lrnve been stuffing in studies. In other words, the lm1 in should be treated as a house whieh is bound to get dusty after constant use. lt is up to each individual to open all its windows and let the pure air of the new, interesting· and different world refresh it.
High School Experiments i'Vith New System In a high school at )forth Bend, ·wa:-;l1i11gton, an experiment. is being carried out. Thel'e are only one hundred students in th e sch ool and only two days a week are there formal classes. On Tues day only does tbe teacher giYe instruction. 'rhursda v the class instruet s the teacher by dis cussing current problems of the day or what they han learn e d. Friday is c;illcd "Achievement Day " when the students lune mass assemblies. Ko grades are giYen, for the purpose of the school is to stimulate interests i n various things and the students are admitted i nto the colleges. It is doubtful whether this would succeed in Lincoln high sc hool because of the vast number of pupils. But ·wouldn't it be fun- and interesting 7
Slang Old as Speech, Not to Be Overworked When
passing· through
the
halls,
these
were only a few of the phl'ases that. greeted our ear s, "Greetings Gate , " "Hya Ki d, " "C:o fly a kite" and "Jeepers creep ers!" These are exam11les of the slang expressions that daily pass through the lips of pupils in informal talk between classes. In commenting on this subject befor e the Symposium club -at Fairbury, Nebraska, ve· cently, Prof. Louise Pound of the "C11ive1·sity of Nebraska English department and sister of Miss Olivia Pound, assistnnt principal at Lincoln high, stat ed, ''Slang is as old as speech itself." She pointed out that the Greeks, Romans, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dickens and others made use of slang. A hundred years ago, it was consid ered "the lowest and most disgusting branch of language," however the general attitude toward it today is one of ''ge nial tolerance." It is used more by the yonng thnn the old, for several reasons, one of which is, the desire to get away from formality a nd the pretentious. The use of slang is a par t of the langrnq?e and should not be dismissed with a sneer, but ·when it is used so much inforrnally, that from force of habit it enters into cla ss recitation. a great deal of care shonld be taken so tlrnt it is not overworked until it means nothing at all.
Art Exhibition Teaches Appreciation of Subjed The pleasure and profit of an art ex11ibition wer e privileges of high school elective art classes, as well as pupils of grade school last week. Through special arrangements mad e hy the Nebraska Art association, the annual showing of modern American and French art and s culpture is on display. Marked interest has hcen shown in these tours by the pupils attending them. These exhibits instill in pupils a genuine appreciation of art and a love of beauty, while the lectures 16 ven by the g·uides educate pupils to the lives and works of these pai11ters. It is this type of learning· that appenls to most pupils ~nd it is this t ype of modern education that is being put to more use in schools.

Blair Girl Keeps Peacock as Pet
Open Forum
Just to be different, Betty Compton of Blair, Nebraska, has a peacock for a pet. This unusual pet was received when it was but a baby and has grown to ma turity on the Compton farm. It flies up into a tree whenever strangers come to the farm but it always comes down in time to eat. It is very large and several years old. When it is pleased, it spreads its tail and struts around the yard. This peacock acts as a watch dog and gives a cry when strangers appear. It sleeps in the large trees about the farm.
To the Editor: I was standing on the walk in front of our house the other day and noticed two cars filled with high school "kids," some of whom I knew, coming down the street so fast I didn't think they could possibly make the next curve. The first car succeeded in skidding around, but the second car not having as much luck plunged across the curb going through some rose bushes and finally com· ing to rest against the base of a .large elm tree . seemingly put there for just such a day. Behind this tree, two inoffensive children, three or four years old, were playing with their dolls. None of the high school pupils were hurt and came tumbling out of the car with cries of laughter and joshing the boy who was driving because he didn't make the corner. I wondered at the time if they happened to think of the serious consequences they would ha ve had to take if that elm tree hadn't been there and the two small children had been killed, I believe that a good idea to solve this proble.m of reckless driving would be to start a course in Lincoln high school on driving. Teaching the students the results of reckless and bad driving, helping them with -trafic signals and various rates of speeds, capable under our city laws. I am sure such a course would help safe and sane driving.

To the Editor: With almost 3,000 students in Lincoln high school using pencils, pencil sharpeners are a vi ta! part of the school, yet some of the class rooms do not have one which will function efficiently, Some are so old and battered that they will break more pencils than they sharpen. Have you ever watched. a student race to the sharpener in the middle of a test and after fh-~ minutes or so of grincF:ig come back with a stub, and end by bor• rowing from a neighbor? Teach· ers say that pupils must have a sharp pencil when they come to class; yet what happens to the student who breaks i..; pencil in 0

cause it can be worn down too. The teachers also complain of the noise, although a new sharpener would function with little or no noise. Why can't the school board furnish a good pencil sharpener for ea.ch room? This would save an unaccounted amount of time and also the cost of pencils. The a. verage life of a pencil sharpener is around two years. Why couldn't the shops do the repairing that is necessary to keep them in order? If the school board would appropriate a small sum for this cause, it would be greatly appreci· ated by the student body. JOHN GOE.
Day Dreaming H ere I sit with lessons to do, But I can't study the day's too blue. My thoughts keep wandering, away from my books, so out of the window_s, I sit and look. They seem to wonder to lands far away, to Hawaii where tall palms sway. To Africa, in the dark of night when the sound of drums beats a weird delight. To the sunny south with darkies gay, shifting along in a lazy way. To far off China, in the great east, where there are fears of the dragon beast. To Scotland, land of the bonnie lads dressed in their pleats and plaids. To Switzerland To climb the Alps and St. Bernards are sent out for help . T(l the South Sea Isles. the guitars to strum, and natives dance, to beat of drums, To Mexico where the rumba's danced, the land of love and romance. To Turkey where the Sultan sits and smokes his pipe bit by bit. To India, the land of sand, where Jives .the Hindu man, and with his pipes the snakes he charms, by the swaying of his arms.

L. H. S. Students Become Gay Parisians In This Year's Presentation of Joy Night Lincoln high's Latin quarter was even gayer than gay Paree's March 17 and 18 when more than 200 pupils put on the long-awaited 17 acts of Joy Night. A pit band put the audience in the mood for the entertainment. The first act, presented by the Mummers in front of the curtain, showed a family going to Joy Nig·ht in their automobile (two benches, a steering wheel and sound effects). The curtain rose for the second act, showing the boys glee club, in an exterior scene in the Latin quarter in Paris. Two of the boy~ had lost their way, and in song -made inquiries concerning the La tin quarter. The scenery alternated between a street scene on a shallow stage, and an interior set. "An Artist's Dream" was the name of the Orpheons' act, in which Dorothy Weirich appeared with Jack Anderson as a singing phantom, Santo Arrigo, Beverly Leake and Connie McCauley twirled their batons through the next act. Act 5 was "The Wedding of the Painted Doll" by the Clef club, in whioi!. all the dolls in the shop came to life and melodiously celebrated the wedding of one of their numb<'r. "Prince Zenda, the Mystic" \alias Gene Bradley J, performed many feats of magic with the aid of Mary Aileen Cochran and Jack Zimmer. On Friday night Governor Cochran was the victim of one of the magician's jokes and Link Lyman took his turn Saturday. For the L club, Lovell's sere· naders presented "A Paris Opening." The brawny members of the club modeled dresses, bathing suits, and other very feminine apparel. The next act was the accordian

sextette that played in the Joy Night assembly. The peppy Peppers in "Pepper Prattle" found gay Parie a dull place and sent out a call for amusement which was nobly pro· vided by their own members. "American Embassy Kids" was put on by the commercial club. In the course of a game of "spin the milk bottle" they presented a recitation, . a trio and a dance. The Lincoln high faculty men, long famous for their Joy Night a cts, kept their reputation when th"ey presented the "First Continental Appearance of the Georgia Minstrels." Several of the teachers could be distinguished in spi te of their makeup, but some pupils are still discussing who played certain parts, especially the characters in the Apache dance. The next act was the only solo performance in the program, a tap dance by Mary Helen Farrar. Th e thirteenth act was a breath taking roller skating performance by Arlene Bradt and Charles Elliott. "Gendarmes" by the G. A. A. was the next act. It was a dance by four of their members. "El Toro Feraco" the home room representatives' act, was the story of the now famous bull, Ferdinand. After that came some synchronized tap dancing by the Clark twins, Dorothy Helen and Marjorie Ellen. The last act was by the girls glee club. They were directed by Marian Jones and accompanied by P a ul W. LeBar who put in a few solos. Their last songs, "Rhapsody in Blue," made a grand finale to
Between The Covers This week we have a colleC• tion of fourteen stories, "The Man Who Caught the Weather," by one of Nebraska's most beloved authors, Bess Streeter Aldrich. These stories of plain, simple, every-day people. There is the story of Alma, the poor little girl who lived with her grandparents in their small cottage. Beside their small home was the large rich home of Mr. Withers, the banker, his wife, and son, Rex. Grandpa Drew took care of Mr. Wither'11 yard. Paradise itself could contain nothing more lovely than that which lay beyond the private hedge, thought Alma. Then came the depression, the bank failed, Mrs. Withers died, Mr. Withers killed himself. Rex went away to New York. Grandpa Drew continued to care for the lawn and Grandma and Alma cl eaned the house, although they no longer received money for the care of it. One afternoon some girls from the city were coming to visit Alma. She, unknown to her grandparents, decided to entertain the fri ends in the luxurious Wither home. The girls were just having tea when the door opened and in walked Res. What happened then? The answer may be found by reading "Alma, Mean1ng to Cher· ish," one of the stories in this book. "Welcome Home Hal," is the story of Judith, a girl who teaches in her home town. Judith looks · forward to and makes plans for the homecoming of her childhood sweetheart, Hal. Then she hears that he is not coming home alone, but is bringing his girl home with him. When she hears this news she is already deep in plans for a supper at the church in honor of his homecoming. She realizes she must attend and carry on . When Hal walked in the church that night .Judith received the biggest surprise of her life! What? The conclusion can be. found by read· ing the story, "Welcome Home, Hal!"
The titles of some of the other stories are: "Another Brought Gifts," "How Far it is to Holly· wood? " and "Low Lies His Bed."
a grand pl'ogram.
Acl,nowledgement should also be given for the cooperation of others who didn't actually perform. The act and carpentry classes made the scenery. Other cooperating groups included the auto, typing and printing classes, and, most important of all, the faculty and the student council, which was the official sponsoring g-roup of the whole show.

Writers Club Hears Bentlev .., Sports Columnist Says News Writing Hard, But Enjoyable Work John Bentley, Journal sports columnist, was the guest speaker at the regular meeting of the Writers club, Wednesday. Mr. Bentley opened his talk by reading a few words of Mary Roberts Rinehart's "Writing is Wor k" from the Saturday Evening Post. "Newspaper writing is hard work but it is enjoyable," re• marked Mr. Bentley. Words Must Fit Story. One of the troubles with new reporters is that they find a new word which they want to use in a story, and try to make the story fit the word instead of making the word fit the story. There is not so much competition among the two different papers, n a mely the Journa l and Star, in Lincoln, as there used to be before their uni· fication. Approximately 60 p ercent of the newspa per firms throughout the United States have closed within the past ten years. Mr. Bentley related that a p erson who has g raduated from a j ournalistic school or taken a journa listic course in university, would get along much better if he gets away from the univers it y town when seeking a job in the n ewspaper business because there is t oo much competition among students who w ill w ork very cheaply for a little pocket m oney. War Increases Circulation. Wars s eem to be the most important news to readers, because the circuclation is greatly increased during this period. Football, f ights, floods a nd el ec~ions a.Isa incr ease the circulation. No business w·as discussed, as this was purely a social meeting. Jim Stoddart, president, adjourned the meeting.
Commercial Club Hears Speaker Miss Norm a Carpenter of t he Miller an d Paine per sonnel department was the guest spea ker at t he last regular m eeting of the commercial club Wednesda y after noon. Subject of Miss Carpenter's talk w as "Charm." In it, s he stressed the importan ce of charm in busi:n.~~" a nd in mcia.l life. "If y ou possess charm nothing else matt ers," she q uoted from an eminent authority. Miss Carpenter also showed the importa nce of a n eat , pleasing personal appea rance as a major s t ep toward gaining ch arm. "In a censu s of the opinions of employers, it was shown that a l arge percent of America n girls was lacking in proper s p eech and posture," s h e pointed out. Proper approach t o a client or e m loye r is fifty per cent of one's sale a ccording to Miss Carpenter . Musical entertainme nt w as p r ov ided by various m ember s of the club. Elaine Lebsack. accompa ni ed b y Carol Ann Robbins . san g "Do You Know M y Garden ?" Accordian music was p rovided by W arren Bur khalt er who p la yed " Notre Dame's Victory March," "In the Shade of the N ew A p ple T r ee " and the " Son g of the F ield Artillery."
Spring Styles Topic of Home Economics Club " Color is v ery impor tant," said Miss I da Yeck who spoke on spring styles at th e home econ om ic club m ee ting Monday. This y ea r v arious contrasting colors are bein g u sed. One u :.n match and mix colors as on e p leases accord in g to Miss Yeck. Eighty per cent of th is 5pring 's dresses h ave full sk ir ts.

Lotte Steinokel, a German girl, who has studied English four years, has trouble w ith her grammar too. A recent letter received by her American correspondent proves the fact.

Before above all my heartly thanks for your delightful Christmas greeting. In Germany one not know so many card to Christmas, but to New-Year's Day.

Banana Crop Will Soon Be Ripe Says Jensen at Wyuka Greenhouse
Prof. Clarence J. Frankforter of the University of Nebraska: facult y spoke to the chemistry club, Fri· day on the use of explosives in in· dustry and war.
One of the f ew banana t rees in t h is part of the count r y may be found at t he Wyuka cemetny greenhouses. Hans J, J ensen , m1perintendent of the g reenhouse, received the trees f rom the Univ er sity of Nebra ska greenhouse. The plants g row from sprouts and grow for abou t 18 mont hs without bearing fr uit. "The thr ee bearing fru it , at the p r esent t ime is 18 months old and the bananas will be ripe in about t hree or four mont hs," s tated Mr. Jensen. "They usually grow from e/ght to t en feet high ," he added. "Each stock has from 50 t o 300 b ananas on it. " The t rees a re planted in r ich black loa m an d must be g L·en plenty of water. After t he stock has produced f ruit, it is cut down and a new stock is started. " The lemon tree, " Mr. J ensen continued, "produces usually J,ut one fruit a year. The last one weighed one pound and contained cine cup of juice." T he orchid plant s a t the greenh ouse bloom in fall and spring. They a r e around ten to twenty y ears old, The t ime of blooming
varies according to the variet y. Some p lant s t a ke t en yea rs an d others t wenty -fiv e years aft er the seed is sown. They com e in nearly all colors and most a r e spotted , or var iegated. " They a re very difficult to grow and need m u ch special car e," he continued. " Very few are g r own in this part of the country. We have eight p lants and t hey generally ·b ear from two t o four flowers at a tim e. " The p lants v ary in price, a nywhe r e fro m f ive dolla rs to fif t y dollars a p iece. T he flowers sell from two d ollars each on up . "G ardenias are not grown very extensiv ely in t his par t of the count ry. T h ey r equire m u ch care and m us t b e kept in a room w ith s pecial temperatur es, " he added. The plant s are raised from cut· t ings and t a ke a bout six to t welve m onths before they b loom . A g ood f lower g enerally sells f or a bout fifty cents to one dollar each. B oth orchids and gardenias are used m os t ly fo r corsa ges. Ros es and sweet peas are best s ellers , although oth er flowe rs sell b est in their seas ons.

" The finest chemistry known in the world, is involved in the man ufacture of explosives," Professor Frankforter said, "and explosives are improving with the indust ry. "In the manufactur·e of glycerine, the substance is put into a large ket tle and, in spite of the many precautions t aken by the operator working the heating ap• parat us, and although the kettle is surrounded by cooling coils, never · the less, if t he temperature get s slightly high, the operator p u lls level allowing the glycerine to drop into a large tank of water just below, and literally leaps for the door," Professor Fra.n kforter e xplained. "Even with this great danger there are very few deaths in the industr y." The professor then exposed TNT to an open flame, and nothing happened. Other explosives were also b urned but no explosion oc· cured. The s u bst ances must be p ut in a more compressed place before they are useful, he explained. Then P rofessor Fran kforter expla ined how much less expensive automobiles, for example, can be m a de when t hey are · able to use explosives. This was the industry h e pick ed, but a a he sa id, it applies to others also. Aft er the meeting, refreshment s w ere served.

L.1-1.S. Will Play Football at Night Lincoln high's football t eam will go into regular sessions of night football next fall. All games will be played at night up to mid-seas on or later when the nights are too cold to draw good crowds to the g a mes. The night event s wer e assured by the board of education last fall shortly after football season at a Lincoln high banquet. The lights used will be from the muny ball park, which will cut clown expenses considerably. Full capacity is expected at all games. Some m embers of the board of education think it may be necessary to make more seating room. This will tie decided after the first game. If more seating is needed bleachers will be set up on the north and south sides. The west bleachers may be extended also.

This would shorten the lapse of time between election and announcement, and at the same time lengthen the period between nominations and the election, giving the students, more time, in the words of the protagonists, "to becom.e better acquainted with the candidates, "or as the antagonists see it, 'to forget about the whole affair." The second amendment was for a special perm1ss1on, allowing students to car.ry more than the present limit oJ: 14 extra-curricular activities, where inter-school competition is involved. Arguing for · this amendment, it would make it possible for the school to be represented by the . best in the different competitive fields. On the other hand, if the present system is continued, the work and honor can be more evenly divided. Reporting for the cafeteria committee, Charles Drake asked tha.tthe representatives discuss in home room the following suggestions for cafeteria conduc.t: _ __ _L..F-l'.eL ..j'r£il-l:n...;pJ!.SlLiil-iine_3.nY who are ;;,ailing for special orders. 2. Keep tables free · from books and other materials which take spac.e and do not contribute to the meal. 3. Keep chairs close to the table in order that the aisles may be as wide as possible. 4. Leave table as clean as you would like to find it. 5. Use the diriinr room for eating purposes only. Leave if you are through eating if anyone is wll.iting for your place. 6. Place all refuse in the waste basket. Dorothy Carnahan reported for the 'visitors committee, Louise Temple for the Joy Night commit· tee, Delores Carter social committee and Jean Os.born for clean-up committee. Turney Sharrar and John Bay· lor read the following suggestions for the behavior of locker mates. Things which a good locker mate does: 1. Keeps the locker clean. 2. Refrains from throwing over· shoes ·or clothing on lunches or books. 3. Locks locker securely. 4. Uses only one-half of the 1pace. 5. Keeps combination secret. Things which a bad locker mate does: 1.

Leaves locker open. 7. Sets the lock.
Many Pupils Ride To High School Of the 3,000 pupils in Lincoln high school, about one-third of them ride to and from school in or on -some type of vehicle. There . ls an average of 200 cars which bring students to school and a few less that transport them home again. The average ·number is three to a car, but the range is from one to ·seven . .The cars range from. old · models which can hardly run under their own power to new 19.39 styles. Of the first ·one-third, there are 350 pupils who ride bicycles and a few who ride motorbikes. The latest and probably smallest addition to this contingent are those who rollerskate to school.

Council Discusses Driving Classes
After continuing a dis.c ussion Wednesday on the bicycle racks that are needed in the parking lots and a plan to present a driving school for future drivers, the student council delegated Dorothy Weirich, chairman. of the safety committee, to find tlie number of bicycles that are not placed in racks and to present an average to H. C. Mardis. An Idea to present a beginning and intermediate drlvfng class to teach some students the intricacies of driving and to stress· safety in driving to others that know the main points, . was brought to a vote. A committee is to be ap. pointed to see if a plan can be worked out. Such classes could increase the safety in driving and could teach the driver the laws and how to observe them. Miss Helen Dunlap complimented the council members on their "fine work in managing Joy Nigh[ this year."

Not even Chamberlain wants to arbitrate. Even the League of Nations has taken a firm stand agaiiist this crime of the century.

By piecing together the available scraps of information the police have decided that he is a middle-aged man, dark . and handsome. He has no former police record. Scotland Yard's Inspector Stach is working on the case at the present time and he predicts that he will be able to crack the .case by April 21. He estimates that the leader of the gang may be found hiding out in Lincoln high school. Walking the corridors, attending classes and even associating comparatively closely with · school

Previously, the plan was to have the doors of the blue and silver c<1bin plane opened and for the two photographers to lean out and snap the pictures.

·Uniformity in Examinations Is Very Vital Que~tion One of th v very vital questions among .;ns today is the uniformity 'of final exam· mations. Should all teachers be requested to give final examinations 1 In larger schools of the east a priated_ ex· amination of 250 questions is given to every pupil and the grade is determined thus: If the test is considered fairly hard and a majority of the pupils miss a great deal of the questions the grade at> an average is considered low, and if the test is fairly easy, determined by the number of questions answered correctly the grade as an aver11ge is high. This has p1·0ved to hi:> a very successful plan and seems to be well liked by all the pupils who take it.. One good argument against this question is that in one hour of time you cannot find out all a pupil knows about that certain subject. In other words. it should not be used as a measure. Many pupils write better than they can re· cite and final examinations a.re certainly a good way for a teacher to learn whether or not a pupil has achieved any knowledge on this certain subject during the semester. In the present situation there are many pupils that get by without taking any final examinations. Is it fair to make most of the pupils take them and not the entire group 1 In university, final examinations are made out for everyone to take and surely there is no better time than when you are in high school to learn how to take them.

School Problems Compared To Those of Outer World In our school as in all schools we have the ~ame problems as· they have in our counti·y and all the countries of Blll'ope. We have as 111uch of a caste svstem as India in the fact that pupils of mod~rately comfortable parents are not let into the higher societies. We ha Ye our dictators in certain individuals who must have the ruling hand in clnbs, groups and all school activities. Our wars consist·of the continual strife be· tween classes, pupils and teachers, and athletics for team positions, although ours is a more peaceful strife. Onr criminals are much worse than the world's, as ours steal from themselves and cheat themselves by copying answers from which they receive no benefit except a good mark. We also have leaders who lead us on the right path, and workers who \Vork for all instead of themselves. Our Czechoslovakia is ourselves, we are .divided into studying for oursehes and working for others. In all we have the 1'ahle chanee as the rest of the wol'ld and it is interesting to nore how both compare.

To the Editor: Students of Lincoln high school h ave lately been getting in the habit of whistling instead of a.p· plauding at the assemblies and school performances. This is probably a result of the "pep" assemblies held lately . . A whistle is probably · much louder than clapping, but surely Mr. Mardis, the speakers at assembli.es a nd performers in school pro· grams would rather have hac a little less volume and more re· spect, rather than boisterous whistling. A JUNIOR. Dear Editor: I have a problem, or rather , a question; and since there are no other authorities on etiquette, what is, and is not,. respectively, the proper thing to do, I write to you. I don't know whether you have brought up the subject of running in the halls, but the school offi· cials (and semi-officials ) say that it's a dreadful thing to do, a menace to society, a · S(lfety hazar d, etc. I have seen some of these runners-in-the-htll-ers and often I have had the temptation to put out my foot to trip me of these crea· tures and see it go sprawling on the floor. Howev€r, the same offi. dais, that are op)osed to running are, I believe, opi;bsed to tripping. My question is:Is it proper and permissable to try someone run· ning in the ha.lls,i(especlally run· ning to lunch) ?

"Helen Hunt Jackson, H. H." written by Miss Ruth Odell o f the Universit y of Nebraska, is the first full biography to be writt en about the famous author of such books as ''Ramona" and "A Cen· tury of Dishonor ." Mrs. J ackson stated in her w ill that she didn't want her biography written by anyone except Hamilton W . May· bie because she so opposed ,pub· Jicity. "I began the book nine years ago and recently the final revised edition was accept ed by the D. Appleton Century Publishers," Miss Odell said. "The book, which has from 350 to 400 pages will appear on the first day of March and from 1,500 to 2,000 copies will be prin t ed of the fir st edition." The book is not a t ext book tiut could be used for a reference . The material was t ak en from the letters of Mrs. Jackson, those of her contemporaries and brief articles that have appeared in magazines and newspapers. Miss Odell travc eled extensively along both the eastern and western coasts and Colorado doing research work, talking to old timers who kn ew Mrs. Jackson and vis iting Mrs. Jackson's home. "I have had the lovliest cont acts while writing my book, most ly through correspondence," Miss Odell remarked. "Ann Parish, who wrote 'The P erennial Bachelor' and is related to Maxfield Parish wrote me in• formation on Mrs. Jackson since her parents had lived in Colorado Springs whe.n Helen Hunt Jackson was a 'bride. I have also corre· sponded with Mabel Bingham .. Toad, -widow ot ·thomas "\.Yent· worth Higgens." Mary Heaton Vorse, Agnes Repplier, Laur a Richatds, Josephine Pollit, who wrote "The Life of E mily Dickenson," and Mr. Pale, who wr ote t he play, "Brittle Heaven ," are some of Miss Odell's acquaint ances iii the literary world. " I love to write," declared Miss Odell. " I seriously considered writing before I began to teach. I find it all very fascinating except the verifying of details a nd foot· n otes. I wrote my book in long hand because I can't compose on t he typewriter. I happened to choose Helen Hunt Jackson to w rite about for two reasons. The m aterial was available and American literat ure is not so overwork ed. In the second place Amer· ican literature has always attracted me and I think it is high time that it is i·escued from oblivion." A curious thing h a ppened when Miss Odell was looking through the records in the Huntington Ii· b rary in California. Sh e came across a letter of Mrs. Jackson's calling all government officia ls thieves, robbers and crook s. Miss Odell wrote t his let ter in h er book a nd promptly received a letter from her publishers saying that they are libelous even for reprinted matter. "I also was interested to learn,'' Miss Odell commented, "that George Farley, who coached t he Wesleyan football team for some time, is the grand n eph ew of Brig ht E yes, one of two India ns that interested Mrs. Jackson. " Mrs. J ackson was a very pro· gressive type of woman. She seemed to belong to the twentieth century instead of the nineteenth. She was very beautiful and feminine to her fingertips, dressed in exquisite taste and was a n excel· lent ho usekeeper. Why she was interested in righting the Indians' wrongs was always a mystery.

When she wrote "A Cent ury of Dishon· or," a history of seven tribes, she m ailed, at her expense, a copy to each member of congress who m erely ignored it. It was th rough Mrs. Jackson's efforts t hat the Subobda Indian r eservation exists t oday.

When aske.d if university students had cha nged much and if they took their studies as seri· ously as when Miss Odell was a student she replied t hat t he only change disernible was the increase in numbers. On the whole the students are wholesome and serious about their studies. Miss Odell came from F uller ton, Nebraska, t o the Univer sit y of Nebraska where she took h er A. B. degree in 1914. Her second de· gree w as t aken at Columbia uni· ver sity under Dr. R. L, R usk. In 1937 she took her Ph. D. from the University of Nebraska . Miss Odell has been teaching freshman composition and sophom ore liter· a ture since 1914. In 1925 she went to Europe.

Between The Covers "The Sword in the Stone" by T. H. Whit e is a queer book. It is not so fantastic as "Alice in W onder land," nor as juvenile. It is not :>C> whimsical as "Winn ie the Podh'• nor as satirical as much of t oday's literary sophistication. It is fantasy, whimsy, satire and realism r olled into one in a story of Kirtg Arthur's· boyhood. Merlin, the magician who is living life from t il e -rutun h1to- tlr&· p~;--rs~~ character who shows u p modern education with sardonic humor. King P e!inor e, who spends his life looking for t he Questin g Beast, is a whimsical st udy. F ant astic are Art hur's adven• tures, but he h imself is an entire• Iy real person. Tragic is Colonel Cully, the mad goshawk whorn Arthur learns t o know. This is a book that may be· come in time a children's classic.

Signs of Spring Prevail In Lincoln High School
In a joint meeting of the sophomore chapter and junior-senior chapter of the Lincoln Hi-Y .last Tuesday, Tom Davis, president ol' the upperclass chapter, and Don Labowitz, president of sophomore chapter, talked over the radio on a Hi-Y broadcast over KFOR. To corner a girl by asking · her if she is golrtg to be busy, before asking for a date is exceedingly bad manners according to Mrs. C. C. Minteer, who addressed the meeting. Explaining the procedure of cutting in at a dance, Mrs. Minteer said that no boy should refuse to let another boy cut in. "It is still polite for a boy to remove his hat when greeting a girl," explained Mrs. Minteer. John .Provost gave grace and Robert Alberty spoke on the Girl Reserves; Hi-Y conference, and read the names of Hi-Y members who had already 'registered.
Men at the Veterans hospital are very busy at the present time making the poppies which the rest of us will buy in May, according to Mrs. Gene MCGiasson, state poppy chairman of the America n Legion Auxilia ry, in an interview. About 240,000 poppies are made at the hospital in Lincoln for all o~ Nebraska. Lincoln high pupils planning tcs ell poppies are Frances Gunder• son, Isabelle Storch, Bernice Jensen, Mary Stout and Elizabeth Schnell. · "The number of poppies the men can make a week· depends on the compensation they are receiving and the number in their family," said Mrs. McGlasson. "No one can ma.ke more than 1,000 a week." About 150 men make poppies during the year. Poppy making begins the first part of the year and continues until the last of April. Veterans are given one cent for each Poppy made and one-fourth cent for attaching the label. .There is a limit of $12.50 per week for
each man. Poppies are bought from the state department by the different units of the America n Legion Auxiliary in the state for two\ and onehalf cents apiece. They are then sold to the public sometime in May for any amount people are willing to give. One day each week Mrs. McGlasson and her helper distribute the materials for the poppies. The men who are able come down to the poppy room, but the ones who are unable to come are taken materials to their beds. "The purpose of the poppies is to provide works for the disabled and funds to aid famailies of needy x-service men," said Mrs. McGiasson. "One man Ia.st year made enough money to buy his wife 1,000 baby chicks." Many times men who are crippled or who are flat on their backs have the help of their buddies. During the poppy making time anyone who visits the hospital may see beds full of poppies.

Interjected between trips to 326 to have pictures taken for the Links, the Mummers managed to hold a meeting, decide to have a picnic sometime in the near future, and to put on an impromptu and interesting program. Talmadge Miller, president, stated that many requests for a picnic had been received, and asked for a motion to that effect. After Jack Zimmer had so moved, and the motion had been discussed, it was decided that a committee be appointed before the next meeting to plan for such a function. The program, under the direction of Martha Ann Reed, consisted of impromptu pantomimes, and afforded much amusement. Some of the words, phrases, and actions depicted were, "Trying to open an umbrella that won't open," 'by Polly Parmele; "At a rummage s.a le" by Martha An.n Pickering and Dorothy Freeborn; "Having a Links picture taken" by six other members of the club. The participants in the Mummers' Joy Night act were given a vote of appreciation by the club. The meeting was adjourned to 326 and Links pictures were taken for the club in two groupl!I.

The large lily in Miss Olivia Pound's office is from the Lincoln high school green house. It ;s seven inches across, has four blossoms and is pink and white. It is called the Amarillus lily. Spelling bees were the order of the day for Miss Valeria Bonnell's French 2 classes last · Thursday. Her fourth period class divided up with half on one side of the room and the other half on the opposite side. The noticeable thing about this quiz was not only, that the winner was a girl, but that the last five runnersup were girls. Max Polsky, a pupH in one of Miss Margaret Davis' history classes, brougl].t for the class a double page spread containing pic· tures of all the Popes since St. Peter, Who reigned from 42 to 67 A. D. ,to Pope Pius XI, whose reign was from 1922 to 1939. There have been 261 Popes, but they have assumed only 81 names. The pages were taken from the Sunday Mirror. How are your powers of observation? Some of the pupils in Miss Belle Farman's English 8 classes found .theirs to be sadly lacking when tests were held to determine how well the pupils observed and then remembered what they had seen. Two students were sent out of the room and the rest of the class attempted to write down a complete description of them. Howard Schmidt, student in Misa Vaelr ia Bonnell's first period German class is the first to receive his loreign correspondence letter. His letter came from a student in Nurmberg, Germany.

pertaining to their questions by any member of the class. It proved to be a good method of r.eview, but its chief fault was that the same question was repeated too many times.
Sit down strikes are a thing of the past according to Mrs. Ruth Dodge 's third period modern history 1 class. In the fourth century B. C., the people of Rome were in two groups, patricians and plebians, the former rich and the latter poor. The patricians ran a.1most everything and when the plebes wanted a certain man in an office or a law passed, they Would go · sit upon the top of a mountain until they had their way. The reason the patricians gave in so easily is because they were dependent on the plebians. Smarting under the knowledge that he let carrots burn a week ago last Wednesday in Mrs. Katherine Henninger's first period of home .economics 8 class, Clyde "Dlz" Dean fixed a meal of Spanish rice without a hitch the other day and let it be known that now he was an A-1 chef. Mrs. Irma Coombs brought a small radio to school so students in her history class could keep up with the foreign affairs in the European crisis by listening to the news broadcast every day. Discussions take place on the problems of today compared with those of the period in history the class is studying. A magazine is being made containing the best paper of each daily assignment in Miss Sarah T. Muir's fourth period English lI class. Lee Pelton, James Price and Robert Guenzel were elected editors. It was originally intended to have one typewritten magazine for the room, but as the idea developed each student wanted a private copy. The student stated that school begins at 8 o'clock and ends at 1 o'clock. On Wednesdays and Fridays they haven't any school, but the students go to Hitler's "Youth Or· ganization."

Members of the student council attended the night traffic school at the City hall,- Wednesday, March 29. Instead of ~aring a matter of fact lecture on "Don't Do· This or That," they reported that they were entertained by ·three sound movies and some illustrated slides. Lieutenant Bennett explained the causes of some of the more serious Lincoln automobile accidents and showed the results on the screen. He pointed out that frequent1y ·accidents are caused by coincidence. He used as an illustration of coincidence a little story about how grandpa broke his leg. Grandpa was reading the. newspaper in the living room. A narrow hall separated the room from the room where the telephone was located. The phone rang. Going across the hall he fell and broke hi!'! leg. If grandpa hadn't been left alone that evening (a thing which rarely happened). if the telephone hadn't rung, if grandpa had been in the same room. as the. telephone, if the telephone ha:d' b.<Cen in the same room as grandpa, !.r l lf( 'L -,'<·~ ~Tr c: -"-~ ~ " c~ u

Mardis Attends Chicago Meeting H. C. Mardis attended the annual meeting of the North Central Association at Chicago, Illinois, last week. "The association is comprised of the leading colleges, universities, and high schools in this section of the country," according to Mr. Mardis. "Twenty states with 2,8 60 high ~chools belong, the only ones meeting certain sta ndards are eligible." The most interesting thing at the meeting was the discussion of "What Makes a Good High School?" In answer to this question, the faculty, the library, ex• tra-curricular activities, guidance and the attitude of pupils after leaving school were discussed.

9 Pupils Chosen For Roles in Junior Play ,British C oinedy British Movie Producer Endorses Junior Play "'La~urnum Grove' gives a true picture of British suburban life," said Cecil Graham, British movie producer connected with Dufay-Chromex Ltd., color film process manufacturers. Mr. Graham, formerly a Nebraskan, returned to visit his Nebraska relatives and was interviewed by Miss Jane Schaible, director of the forthcoming junior play. He remem· bered "Laburnum Grove" well and sai:l that it had delighted London audiences for many weeks. "The plot is most interesting because the audience can compare themselves to the characters depicted," he declared. He was formerly connected with Paramount interests _in London but left them to join with Dufay-Chromex Ltd., a $3,000,000 corporation. He believes their technicolor precess rnay revolutionize the film industry. They are planning to open an A.nerican branch soon.

Higlily Prized Documents Saved By New Method As our country has grown, so have our offir.ial records. And up till now they have been. scattered over Washington in mote than 200 depositories, gathering mold and dust and destructive insects. Now the National Archives building, completed at a cost of $10,000,000 has been made permanently to store hundreds. of tons of records. It is one of the most beautiful and best planned buildings in Washington. Before books are placed in the stacks, they; are completely fumigated-'-run on book trucks into a sterilizing vault, thus all worms and germs are killed; then the dust and mold is removed with a special vacuum cleaner. Temperature, humidity and chemical content of the air are . regulated to prevent deterioration of stored papers. This would be a wonderful process to use on school books. For the number of destructive germs left by the users are innumerable. ])ust and dirt add also to the shortness of a birnk 's life. Perhaps someday this process will become common. However until then every precaution is tnk en to keep · our books cl P.an and in ths best of condition.

In a letter from .Miss Belle In· gles who has been traveling in the Scandinavian countries was the remark, "The Swedish are all so friendly; they dash out of their homes or stop whatever they are doing to wave at us.

The Covers Mari Sandoz, brilliant Ne• braskan, who wrote "Old Jules," has had published in the March issue of Scribner's a short novel entitled "Bone Joe and the Smokin ~ Woman." Bone Joe is a bone picker in the ranch country who becomes a. great power when he gains wealth at the expense of the ranchmen during the depression. Th~ smokin' woman is Hortense Bill's, daughter of one of the in· fluential ranchmen. The struggle between Bone Joe and the smokin' woman as he gradually takes over all her land forms a sorrdid story of the power of money and of greed which is beautifully written. Another Nebraska writer whose books are good reading if not great is Maude. Delevan Smith, an Omaha woman. In "The Rummelhearts of Ramphler A venue" she portrays an American family gipsying along the higbways. By a stroke of fate. this group of vagabonds become the ownen or "' lot. in the swankiest section of a small Iowa. town. Their difticulties and struggles with their neighbors make a very human tale. In a sequel, "A Rumelheart . Must Roam," Papa succumbs to the call of the road and deserts his family. He returns, however, when Mrs. Rumelheart acquires some capital by winning a ketchup recipe Contest. Tl........

"Boys usually have s-ome ·comeback when asked not to run or take two steps at a time, but they usually comply with the request," the guide explained. Their favorite retort is, "Why don't you make the steps farther apart?'" "The end of the week is the hardest time of all," continued Vir• ginia. "Friday is worst of all · be· cause everybody is in such a hurry to ·go home." Another one of Virginia's duties ls to check lockers. Some persons are very careless about leaving their lockers open.

Kansas Teacher Develops Social, English Course What young men should say to the girl friend's mother when they are introduced and ,how to con· .tinue the conversation are two of the .many things studied in a new c~urse, "Social English," develop~ ed by Miss Elizabeth Hodgson, head of the English department in North high school in Wichita, Kansas, according to a recent ar· ticle in the Christian Science Mon• itor. In this class, which has sixty students this semester, the tech· nique .of introductions, dinners and teas is taught. The boys learn how properly to draw out a lady's chair at a table while the girls practice sinking gracefully into the proffered chair. Both learn to pick up their nap• kins and spread them easily with· out waving them in the air. They differentiate forks and o.ther pieces of silver which are laid down with various courses and avoid leaning on the table. Besides easy conver· sation at the table business and phone are practiced. Tea parties and dinners are giver occasionally, so that the stu· dents may have an. opportunity to overcome their timidity and a ·chance to practice the etiquette and "sacial English" they have lear.ned.

Listening to, discussing and ap• preciating good music and also acting as the chai_rman of organ• ization of instrumental music kept Mr. Nevin busy. · Mr. Nevin said that he heard a mass group of children .from all Detroit schools forming an orches• tra:. The Detroit schools also put on a· pageant with a Negro chorus that he said was exceptionally good. "The most complete group I heard was the Wayne university symphonic band," and going on he said, "'the Hamtramch all Polish orche.s tra of Detroit was good."

Thurlow Lieurance Tells of His Life; Composer of Many Indian Melodies
Arnold Tall(s On Pictures Camera Club Hears Journal Photographer Speak on Press Shots Fred c. Arnold, Journal photographer, spoke · to the camera club at its April 3 meeting. He set up his camera and attached the photoflash gun to show how the press camera worked. "The camera that is almost universally used in news work is the Speed-Graphic," he stated. Mr . .Arnold told of the difficulties in getting sports pictures, saying that there were no new or different poses. Ee coo.Riders baseball one of the dullest to pho- · tograph because t.h ere are few shots that can represent a whole play, a home run, for example. With basketball, all there is to get is a picture of a ball being put into a b11.sket. In . football, it seemed to him that every important play happened on the other 11ide of the field, where he couldn't get it. Telephoto Uses. When he shoots from on top of the press box, Mr. Arnold uses a Graflex camera . with a nineteeninch focal length, and a lens about four inches in diameter. After some experience in this work, the camera men know just about what to expect when they see the formation. Mr. Arnold has an assistant to write down the positions of the players, to be written in later by the art department on the photograph. On the !!,verage, a sports picture costs about onefifth cent per subscriber. · Pictures From Air. He told of an experience when he was bringing in some photos by airplane with a twenty-five mile headwind. When they went over Ashland the gas guage registered zer o, but they decided to take a chance on the gas that was left. Over Havelock, the motor died but they glided far enough to reach the landing field. He also told of the trials in getting society pictures. Most of the pictures, unless they are staff photos, must be returned, so they make a copy for touching up. Tinted photographs don't photograph right, so they usually use a red filter when copying, since they use no panchromatic film in press work.

"The Indian song is a distinct type of composition and not a folk song at all, as some people believe it to be," stated Thurlow Lieurance, Nebraska cci·mposer, who conducted all ·his own compositions at the Lincoln Symphony orchestra's last concert of the season, Monday night. Mr. Lieurance, born at Oskaloosa, Iowa, March 21, 1880, was educated at the College of Music at Cincinnati, Ohio. He studied trumpet under Herman Beilsteadt, piano under Albino Garno and composition under Frank Vern Deu Stucken. During the Spanish American war he was a band master. From 1913 to 1918 Mr. and Mrs. Lieurance toured the country with Red, path Homer's chautauqua, giving, in costume, concerts of Indian melodies. He was an instructor in the Lincoln School of Music from 1918 until 1924, when he went to Minneapolis, . Minnesota. From 1927 to the present time he has been Dean of Art of the University of Wichita, Kansas. Mr. Lieurance is best known for his composition "By the Waters of Minnetonka," which he wrote in 1912. He become interested in the Indians when he did some research work for the government. Minnetonka is a Jove song and the accompaniment is descriptive of the phases of the legend. This . composition reached its climax in 1918 when Madame Schumann-
Heink sang it in Lincoln. It has traveled aroun<;J the world. ln 1931 the "Rosary" was the largf'st selling song in the world but the popularity of Minnetonka has isur· passed it To date it is recorded on 41 different records by every type of organization. "I have been to practically all the Indian tribes in the north and middle west," stated Mr. Lieurance, "and I have made thousands of friends." Numerous tribes have given him Indian names and several have initiated him into their tribes as a chief. When asked how the Indian melodies are passed down from generation to generation he ex· plained that It was only by mouth. The men do all the singing except in the pleasure songs. "The general tendency of the Indian melody is to start high and end low in pitch. The rhythmic songs are heroic songs. The love songs and flute songs are iitdivid.ual," he explained. .In France, in 1931, Mr. Lieur• ance won first prize with his Paris Exposition Sketches. His latest composition is a song cycle, con· sisting of six numbers. He has 500 compositions in catalogue at Theodore Presser company. He has written every type of , song, having harmonized 100 Indian songs, written five · major symphonic works and numerous transscriptions for violin and flute.

It was decided that the club is not sufficiently organized to sponsor a pet show on the night of Open House but all members agreed that the. club should give something.

Many Spectacular experiments w e r e shown to the audience, including a miniature volcano, which, like 11 real eruption shot forth smoke and flame, not to mention the fact that It spread a fine layer of ,sand upon the "front row spectators. "Chemical magic is not really magic, but merely the reaction ot certain chemicals on others when they are mixed," Robert said. Many of the experiments he told of were dangerous, and therefore were not performed at the meeting.. Among those y.rhich were given were the growing of a chemical garden, the making of smoke rings from I} colorless ga! which explodes without the aid of fire and an exhibit of invisible ink. Refreshments were served at the end of the meeting.

"Most of my pupils are girls, due to the stenograpi:lic course, only one-third are boys be· cause of bookkeeping courses," Mrs. Rein concluded.

Teacher Explains Twofold Values Of Making Clothes Miss Marjorie Tye, new clothing class teacher at · Lincoln high, stated that girls could save half their allowance by making their own clothes providing they didn't count their time too valuable. "The value of sewing", she declared, "is two-fold. If one lik!lS to sew one will get not only the pleasure and the economical part out of it, but be a better buyer when it comes to buying clothes. If one doesn't enjoy it, one will be better able to judge fabrics and workmanship and thus be a more intelligent consumer." Miss Tye added that her classes · are learning at the present how to dress according to their individual personalities and that any girl to )le well dressed should analyze her good points and then use color schemes that will bring them out to the best advantage. When asked what she thought of the sewing equipment of Lincoln high, she said it is very good and she hopes it will be possible In the future to have more electric sewing machines in place of the ones now in use. "There is a growing field in home economics", concluded Miss Tye, "not only in the teaching phase but In the commercial field as wel.1."
FiQ.ance Topic of A. L. Brow11 Speaks on Saving; Lecture Illustrated By Colored Slides
•
A. Lawren Brown, educational director of Investors' Syndicate, gave "The Blind· Spot of Science," a pictorial presentation, before the assemtiy• Wednesday, March 29. Colored pictures, depicting the Panorama of Progress were shown and discussed by Mr. Brown. Lecture Given 6,000 Times. This internationally known lecturer, author and educator has traveled more than 200,000 miles in 48 states and provinces· of the United States, Canada and Mexico. The lecturE! that was given has been" 9tlivl!red more than 6.000 times •\fy Mr. Brown. He maintained that in spite of the fact that the human race had made more material progress in the past century than in all preceding centuries put together, that even though it has progressed in transportation, communication, Industry, disease, and even death; we have just experienced the worst depression of a century. The blind. spot in science is financial ignorance. He asserted that depression is too expensive a luxury for any American to indulge in. Financial Education Necessary. "The only solution," h'e sa ys, "is financial education." Depressions can be prevented, according to Mr. Brown, by following this recipe, work, save and have. "Save lOc out of every dollar," and he says, "if you want money to grow, leave it alone."
T.wo Speakers Heard . by Club Miss Myrtle. Dean, superintendent of Bryan Memorial hospital, and Mias Ida Sommers, principal of the school of nursing, spoke before the home economics club at the regular ·meeting Monday. Miss pean spoke briefly on her . overseas . experiences during the World war as a Red Cross nurse. After the war, she was among a group of nurses who did rehabili-, tation wm:k in the Balkan states.

where they worked for eight months. Each nurse was given one month of each year as a vacation •. On one of these vacations Miss Dean visited Italy. On another, she traveled from Serbia · to Atheris a~d returnedl Were it not for her nurses' training, Miss Dean said that she would have been unable to see so much of the world and to assist in caring for the sick and wounded during and 8.fter the war. Miss Ida Sommers spoke on the requirements for entering the nursing field . Before entering a school of nursing, a girl must be graduated from high school with an average grade of 85 per cent. A general aca;demic course is preferable to others in preparing a girl for nurses' training. A one year pre-nursing course in university is also required. An arithmetic course in high school is very beneficial. A girl should be in good physical condition, and should be at least eighteen years of age.

A letter written
by Henry K. Bentley, a second year high school boy of Putney, Vermont, stated that Henry would like to correspond with another. second year Lincoln high boy who is interested in building model airplanes. "You have probably heard of Vermont maple syrup but you most likely have never tasted any," wrote Henry. "Well, every year at this time, many of the farmers go into their maple orchard and tap the maple trees. They drill a hole through the bark" of the tree and then insert a spout which has a hook that they hang the bucket on. The sap from the tree flows in to the bucket and then they gather up the sap in a la rge barreL Then they boil the sap till it becomes a thick, sweet syrup. When the syrup is cool they pour it on some pan-cakes and then they have a good meal." "I have a hobby which many persons do out in your part of the country. It is building model airplanes. I have read of many builders who live out there, but here in the east it isn't progressing very fast. I have two models powered with gasoline motors and many other rubber powered models." Henry is sixteen and although he lives in Putney, attends a scl).ool at Brattleboro, Vermont which has a population of about eight thousand. At the time this letter was writ· t en Vermont was covered with snow and hundreds of people were going there to ski. Every ·year Brattleboro has a ski-jump and the · record is 218 feet.

Students .Act As Guides Parents, Pupils Aided By 30 Polite Guides At Spring Open House Approximately thirty home room representatives served as guides for open house April 13. Nearly all the representatives served last semester but it was concluded that thirty guides would be sufficient. At the meeting April 12, the delegates were asked to announce in their home rooms that the chief motive for open house is to afford an opportunity for teachers and parents to become better acquainted. Representatives were requested to see that each pupil had the op· portunity to sign, if he is wished, the registration sheet for the traffic school to be carried on for six weeks at Lincoln high. Charles Drake reported that the posters advising proper conduct in the cafeteria would be placed in all home rooms Thursday. .
Annual Clean-Up About to Begin The annual ' clean-up campaign . is about to begin and this semester the home room representatives and student council are combining to sponsor a slogan contest. There is to be one winning slogan P.ach week to be picked -by a committee composed of Patricia H~rming haus, Romulo Soldvilla, James Baylor, Turney Sharrar, Jean Q,,, born and Barbara Stewart. This slogan will be mounted, together with the winner's name, on the library and office bulletin beards. The announcement will a-ppear in the Advocate each week. The slogans are to be in the student council box in the office each Friday in order to be judged and announced the following week. Another project planned by the committee is the placing of waste baskets at the two entrances of the oval ~d by the walk, bordering on Radolph street. It is hoped that the students of Lincoln high will appreciate the work done by the clean-up committee, school custodians· and the N. Y. A. and do their share toward making Lincoln high school cleaner.

Violinist Believes High School Musical Training Aided in Shaping His Career Edward Preadore, violinist, found time to answer a few questions for the interviewer at hia elbow after the crowds of en· thusiastic music lovers had co1~ gratulated him on his fine c.oncert given in the ball room of the Cornhusker hotel. "I believe that my early high school · training has proved the most valuable to me in shaping my career," tue 23 year old artist said. He was brought to Lincoln by the Mi Phi Epsilon musical sorority as one of the most outstandingly promising young artists of the season who deserves to become better known to the concern going public. Mr. Pdeadore stated that it had all begun when he was chosen from his high school orchestra to be a soloist in Walter Damrosch's orchestra. He studied in the Eastman school of music in Rochester, New York and was one of the only three students in the history of that school to receive the honor-
ary "young art ist" diploma. "There is no particular reason why I happened to take up the study of the violin," this musician remarked. "I played the piano for a while and then my taking up the violin-just hapuened." He had been in Hollywood for some time with the M. G. M. studio orchestra. "Altha the pay is good for this work, it ts too monot,mous and there is too much repetition for it to be at all interesting to me," he admitted. The young artist's ambition for the future is the concert stage, leading to New York and Chicago. When asked if he had an ideal or someone to pattern himself after he said that Enesco was the most wonderful conductor, composer, violinist and all around good fellow that he knows of. With the traininf and experience that this artist possesses and the extraordinary tal,ent that he has, he is destined to become one of the more famous violinists of the century.

It also gives an oppo1·tunity for the parents to meet and talk to Sonny's teacher, and plenty of talking w as done last Thursday night. Some 1,105 persons came to see exhibits of pupils' skill in all r ooms. The art exhibit in rooms 128 a nd 129 showed sketclles of pupils by drawing classes and poetry by the same, as well as tapestries, m ostly unfinished, made by U1e elementary design classes. Explosions brought the attention of many visitors to the chemistry laboratory. These were caused, quite purposely, by pupils
who mL'l:ed hydrogen and oxygen and lit it. The shops were going full blast, but a show of special interest was in the electricity shop wher e there was a lighting exhibit. There was an indirect lighting show, including comparisons of ordinary bulbs and a new mercury vapor lamp and polaroid lamp. Anot her popular spot was the cooking rooms where peanut butt er cookies were m a de a nd given to visitors. There was also a health exhibit in rooms 120 and 1 08. On the wa'n of the north hall on the second floor were . placards showing t he new safety rules on the streets at the south of the school; also pictures of t he shop safety measures and health department records. The library was open for public inspection, show~ ing new books and wall relief. The guides were home room representatives and the doors were guarlied by members of the student council.

Every One Should Plant A Tree on Arbor Day Tree planting festivals are ptobably aii old as civilization. Arbor day is of purely American origin and grew out of conditions peculiar to the Great Plains of the West,. a country practically treeless over much of its area but supporting a floul'ishing agriculture and 'soil and climate well able to nourish tree growth. Arbory day was originated by .J. Sterling Morton, in 1872. He was then a member of the Nebraska state board of agriculture and later United States Secretary of Agrieulture. Tree planting •\·as no new thing here, when the Arbor day plan was submitted by 1:LT. [Morton, for the first settlers had found that the lack of trees was a serious drawback and some attempt had been made to supply the deficienc-:r, but until that time, planting had been haphazard. This plan organized the work. Tt :iin.~ been set aside as a semi-holiday. to ~reci1k1.ge ili e voli.ii1fary jllantiiig- or ti~e.s fly ~- - the people. ln general, Arbor day ceremonies consist t:>f planting shade or ornamental trees on the grounds of public and•school buildings. Private yards are not excluded. Because of the seasonal and climatic variations, the day of observing this annual custom varies. In northe:i·n states Arbor day is observed late in April or early in May; m southern states, in December, January or February. April 22 is the date in Nebraska. We, of Nebraska have originated this day · and we should be proud, proud enough to encourage the thing we have started. A wider interest should be .aroused in this day, so that the once barren prairie will neve.r again be what is was. Everyone should help make up for the immense loss of trees suffered during the drought years,'not only for beauty's sake, but to break the force of the winds, avert erosion and retain moisture as well. Every effort should be ma.de to plant at least one tree.
Great Brita·in Follows u. s. School Example Britain is following the Cnited States example. According to the new plan, every boy and girl in Great Britain will b.e given an opportunity to have a ''secondary'' education suited to his or her capacity. The Government.,s "consultative committee on secondary education" has been working on this scheme for five years. It will become elfe.ctive as soon as it can be implemented. A new type of technical school may be founded for pupils of ages 11 and 16. As soon as finances permit, grammar schools like modern school should cease to charge fees. According to the Christian Science Mo_nitor the curriculum depends µpon the location of the school. One that is located in an agri· cultural district for example would pay particular attention to farming. School records (might be taken in consideration i~ the award 'of certificates. The committee pomts out also that these reforms are very important, since the future of the democracv must depend upon the education which the· citizens receive.
Loud Voices Unattractive To Taxed, Tired Ears How often do parents hint, sugg·est or frankly tell their children to talk softer or to "shut up." No doubt the proverb, "A loud voice bespeaks a vacant mind." has been used often and with emphasis on the loud voice. A loud voice indicates to bystanders a person who is trying to attract attention to himself but doesn't know any other .way than .that. If an inteHigent person stopped to think obnoxious his loud ·vofoe is and the :undesirable attention· it' brings, fewer loud voices woulci be heard. · A · :plea.Sant, well modulated voice is mu~h kinder tO the ears and inay even help one wm something much desired. The voice is like a phonograph record, if played too often, it wears on one's nerves.

To the Editor: Spring is hE!re. With spring comes warmer weather, arid because the weather· is w.a.rm, girls' gymnastic classes play out-ofdoors. Girls, better known as the weaker sex ( ? ) , may be weak in many ways, but when it comes to screaming they're the best (yell· ing. and shrieking included). I'm in hopes that after this little letter is read, tllese girls will use their strength to better advantage, and not disturb all the nearby classes with their uncouth noises. HAROLD GROSSMAN. To the Editor: Repeatedly the student council safety committee has warned the student body of the dangers of "hooking" rides on the back of street cars-_ However the students have shrugged their shoulders and been indifferent to the whole matter, saying, "Oh well, it can't be so dangerous, nobody's ever been hurt." But now things are different. Last week a Lincoln high student was injured by a passing car when he jumped from the back of a street car. Maybe now the students will realize that there is danger in "hooking" rides and will refrain from it. In the future also it would be good if the students take the safety committee's suggestion to heart and not have to learn their lessons in aafety the "hard way", as they hil.ve learned this one. A Junior. To the Editor: It is a question whether our hall guards are not becoming the subject of many severe and true re· marks by pupils who have been observing their actions. There is a question as to what good the school derives from the hall guard force when some of its members are entertaining them· selves and not checking the pupils who are addi.ng to the nbon h6ur confusions with their non-quiet voices. These same students con" tinue to race through the halls shouting, while the hall guard is busy chatting with friends.

Cousins Meet Again After Two Years; One Drove an Ambulance in Spanish War By Lloyd Helgeson.
Walking into a little cafe in my original home town, Vermillion, So. Dakota, fairly late Friday night of spring vacation, I was thinking of nothing in particular, certainly nothing of war and a revolution in Spain. However, as I walked to the far end of a row of booths, I saw a face, not an unusual face, yet I thought that jaw was more set, more in defiance of something, than the average small towner's. Something was familiar about that face, but through the inevitable cloud of smoke that haunts small town cafes, ever ill lighted and shadowy, I thought he actu· ally resembled me, were I to have light brown hair and blµe eyes. That was too much, I simply had to meet him. With that air of ah--of ah- of frank curiosity so characteristic of Americfil\, teenaged youth, I approached him. He recognized me immediately, he spoke, and not until then did realization dawn. He was my cousin. Belmar Helgeson, soldier of fortune. That sounds peculiar, doesn't it? You thought they were just in story books, didn't you ? Yet here is one. He is young yet, about thirty-nine, but he has seen all of the world worth seeing and, he says, "considerable not worth seeing." In rea lity he has carried burdens through hell! burdens that were victims of hell! They were soldiers, wounded and dying soldiers, some cut t o pieces by bayonets, bullets, and bombs, some with shrapnel lodged in their flesh. His latest adventur e was as an ambulance driver for the

I had h eard ·nothing of him for two years since he embarked for Spain until our meeting in this small cafe. He was dressed in plain blue suit, shirt, tie and grey hat, brim turned down all around and slightly tilted. He p resented the true soldier of fortune. A typical Argosy "Man of Daring." W ith Spain I had always associated the mus,ic of the mandolin, violins, and that music typical of Mexico. When I asked of this he agreed, "Yes, t hat is their music. Swing music? Yes, that too, but to a small degree." I wondered about gossip, "Do Spanish women swap choicy bits across the backy ard fence as American housewives?" He replied unexpectedly, "No." I had always thought all women a like; but then I'm young yet, I guess. The Mexican is commonly con· sidered t o be somewhat lazy. I inquired if that were the condition in Spain. H e agreed to t his and added, "They a re inclined to let things slide a nd constantly mumble 'manana,' that 's Spanish for 'tomor.row.' They are inclined to leave t hings 'till t omorrow.'" How about the Spanish language, how was an American to take orders in Spanish? T his he explained a s comparatively easy.

"When There Is No Peace" is an attem_pt to expla in the events _lead· ing up to the Czech-German crisis and the Munich pact, Mr. Fish makes a comprehensive study of t h e general attitude in E ur ope in I'egard to world war and h as included many documents heretofore not presented to the· general public. He disapproves of Chamberlain's a ttitude but finds it very plausible. He does not draw very many of his own conclusions but is content t o state facts. "Our Battle" is an indignant reply to Hitler's "Mein Kampf" and an outburst brought on when Hitler was cheered a t a Columbus day celebration in New York · while New Yor k 's own mayor drew boos. He f eels tha t the threat to the democracies lies not in Mussolini but in Hit ler. Mussolini h e regards as m ild and he suspects the Italian is wavering in his support of Germany. Hitler he compares to R obespierre and declares him to be the victim of a suppressed hysteria. He fea rs most Hitler's "g et even" doctrine and. calls the desire for revenge the lowest of all hurrian emotions. He concludes that de· mocracy will eventually hav e to fight Hitler and ought to prepare for that end. "Address Unknown" by Kr ess• man Taylor, a short story made familiar to many when it was re· p rinted in the Reader's Digest , is now pr inted in book form.

"Well, I learned my Spanish from one fellow and for consider· able time I could understand no other Spaniards. I k now enough of the language to get by, but if what I lea rned is no better than the English I taught my associate, I am afraid it 's not very good." "You were in the middle of the fighting, weren't you? How does it seem?" I asked him. He merely reached to his pocket, drew out a. piece of heavy jagged metal and handed it to me. "How would you feel with hundreds of these fly · ing around you?" That w as an· s wer enough for me. "Did you find so much difference between this and the World war as far as new equipment and its use was concerned ·? " came my next question. "Not so much in new equipment but in the development of old equipment," he replied. "Airplanes were used to far g reater effective• n ess . than before.

One company advertise111 "vitamins" in its cream; although that might be true, how would these vitamins reach the blood vessels? In the history of his experi• ments, Mr. Harris believes alum cream made the largest profit. Tha alum product can be purchased for a few cents a pound, but izr this instance was sold for ten dol.. lars a pound for the purpose Of smoothing out wrinkles.

Nevin, Lincoln high school's orchestra presented the one hundred and third concert in the seventeenth season of the vespers concert series.

Opening number on the program was the "Dream Pan_tomime" by Humperdinck. Following this was the "Concerto No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 2* for Violin and Orchestra written by Bruch and featuring the violin mastery of James Price. Third number of the p_rogram was Tschaikowsky's "Th o r n r o s e Waltz," noticeably popular with the audience. "March of the Little Lead Soldiers" by Pierhe added a military touch to the well varied program. The concert closed with the Ciiucasiian Sketches, "In the Mosque' and the spirited "Procession of the Sardar," composed·. by Ippolitov-Ivanov.

meeting. The program was planned by Dorothy Freeborn.

A solo was also sung by Le Nore Crossley. It was entitled "A Serenade to the Stars" and she was accompanied by Mrs. Wilson. Katherine Rice was ap· pointed program chairman for the next meeting.
Art Department Head Is Speaker Prof. Dwight Kirsch, head of the art department of the University of Nebraska, spoke to the camera club on composition last Monday. In explaining the difference between the procedure of a photog· rapher and that of a painter, he said a painter starts with a blank canvas and builds up his picture•. A photographer has to analyze the material with which he is working and choose the lighting and position of his camera, and then make an exposure. Mr. Kirsch stressed the point that more time should be spent on composition before each exposure. . He suggested that the photographer "frame" scenes which he might consider for taking, and demonstrated how the thumb and forefinger of both hands, or a pair of L-shaped cards could be used to form a rectangular frame through which one could look to separate different portions of the landscape and to analyze their comp.o sition. The fir st point of composition which he mentioned was unity. Every picture should have a ·single purpose or center of interest, and should have no distracting ele· ments in t_he corners. He had several photographs there, some of which had been shown at the Joslyn Memorial at Omaha, and he · p ointed out how lines toward the center of the picture "lead the eye" to the center and a dd to the unity of the picture.
Most Young Criminals Not Graduates Of High School, Says Sheriff Davis Sheriff James W. Davis, who is spoken of as Lancaster county's new sheriff because he was recently elected, is not a new member of the county's law officers. This tall, personable, pleasant voiced man-of-the-law was appointed a deputy to the late Sheriff Hensel in 1927 and served in
-Journal Photo.
that capacity .until 1938, when he succeeded Mr. Hensel, first by ap· pointment and then by election. When asked what percentage of Jaw breakers were high school graduates Sheriff Davis made this reply, "Since the depression many young people out of high schools have embarked upon a career of crime. The difficulty of living with no jobs obtainable and nothing to do has been too much for many youngsters. Under our present school system the average middle western child receives a high school education. Of course that fact must be considered when I state that the majority of younger criminals are not high school graduates. High school gives them a better opportunity to lead an honest life. By far our
In The Classes
greatest majority of criminals and delinquent children come from homes where the envii;onment is bad." Sheriff Davis states that statistics show that children of criminals and persons of low morals are often criminals. Homes where either the father or mother have served terms prove this with few exceptions; especially the vicious criminals, such as thugs, bank robbers and gangsters in various rackets. "The higher type crimnials such as forgers, embezzlers, promoters of fraudulent schemes,. are the· rarer type who have better than average education and frequently are the only taints in otherwise upright and honorable families," states Sheriff Davis. It seems that way back early in the century, Sheriff Davis admired policemen, later all law officers. Finally these boyish dreams crystallized into a i:eal ambition which led him first into the Military Police during the World war. After the war he served as a county patroiman in Gage county. On coming to Lancaster county he received his · appointment under Sheriff Henael. There are a good many phases of the routine work in the sheriff's office that the general public pays little attention to, yet they complise by far the greatest part of the \V1lrk. Serving of summons, sheriff sales, sales of execution and cirders of attachment are some of these duties which it course require the help of deputy sheriffs. The most colorful and interesting part of the work is of course in connection with the detection and capture of criminals. Sheriff Davis spent months gathering data which led to convictions in the famous Lincoln bank robbery.

J ackie Cooper at· tends Beverly Hills high also. · "Most movie s tar s," says Joyce, "are on.Unary looking, but the thing that impressed me most in California was the ge0rgeous scenery." Beverly Hills high difi:ers ·from Lincoln high, in that there is more home work, cuter girls and. the people are harder to get ac· quainted with. "They judge you all on h.ow much money papa has," she ex· plained. Besides many broadcasts, Joyce has seen the San Francisco World's Fair, which to her seemed rather deserted. All in all, Joyce likes Lincoln. and Lincoln high the best and is glad to be back.

Floyd Wilkinson pitched shaky ball for three innings and in this time the home club went to work, scor.ing two runs in the t:rst inning and playing tight ball the other two. Wilkinson settled down for the rest of the game to give a total of . only four hits while striking out 13 batsmen. Links Come From Behind. The game drew around to the seventh inning to find the Links one run behind. and a last chance to win the game.

Track and Baseball Interfere lVith Spring Football Coach Ralph Beechner has discontinued spring football practice till the last two weeks of school because of the number of boys that are out for track and baseball also. Some of the positions are harder to fill than others because there. are some returning lettermen in the line, but there are gaps that will be left open, such as center, which was played last year by on~ of the best centers in the state, Joe Partington. Joe was an excellent defensive man as well as offensive. Bud Irick and Fred Lorenz will also be missed in the guard spots, but there are some fine guards out, such as the two lettermen, Melvin Johnson and Lester Buckley. The other boys are coming along fa:it and appear quite impressive to the coaches. The tackles are again going to be big and rugged this year and Harvey Lauer and Elmer Kehm, two lettermen . last y.e ar, also have a year of experience under their belts. Some of Coach Yordy's last years reserve tackles are making them really step to be in there. One of the biggest holes to fill will be the quarterbacking job held down in such a manner last year by Fred Metheny that the critics show that he was one of the best quarterbacks in the state. Fred was an excellent blocker and pass catcher along with his running of the ball. Many of the boys will be tried out at this position.

Bob Mills Gives His Viewpoint on Insuring Athletes "Every Nebraska high school athletic department should have insurance on its athletes in case of injury," was the statement of Bob Mills, University of Nebraska senior._ He declared that most times when a player is seriously injured while participating in any event, he must pay his own doc· tor and hospital bills and oft times he cannot afford to do so. Bob, an ex-Links, is a football and track star at the university where he played regular· left tackle and participated Sn the shot put and discus throw. He has earned four high school letters and six college letters. During all his athletic career, he has never had a serious injury. When asked if he had any outside activities he remarked, "The whole thing is, I haven't had much time for recreation as I have track workout almost every afternoon until six· o'clock and after dinner I study until about ten and then retire." In his estimation, the toughest team he ever played against was Minnesota in 1938 and the tough· est man he ever trackled was Marshall Goldberg of Pittsburg. He enjoyed the '38 Kansas game most in which he scored a touchdown, and the Crete game where he scored the winning touchdown in his high school football career. The interviewee has a contract with the New York Giants which he does not intend to sign for he wishes to continue with his education which in his own words "is a good one." He is in the arts and sciences college with intent to enter law school.
Girls Sports The beginners swimming classes have now taken over the pool. While they splash away in the pool the advance swimmers are playing, or perhaps we should say learning to play, tennis. Each p layer enthusiastically has high hopes of b-ecoming a feminine Don Budge, or some "big shot" in the tennis world some day. (You may not admit it girls, but "we know!") Tonight after school the Havelock high school girls plan to invade our Lincoln high pool. The baseball, archery and tennis classes are impatiently \vaiting for summer to come around the corner so that they can start swinging their bats, balls, rackets, bows and arrows. Through the courtesy of James Lewis of the city recreation department, our tennis classes can play on the municipal courts at five cents a player. The courts are reserved from 3:30 to 4:30 for high school classes. A stop watch to be used in the swimming meet and the speedball and basketball tournament will be purchased by G. A. A. A quiver holder for arrqws, a target face, puddle tennis balls, some bases for baseball, two bows and strings and a fishpole to be used in the swimming pool are also going to be purchased by G. A. A. Two new sport leaders were elected at the G. A. A. meeting held April 13. Jane Johnson will be the archery leader and Lillian Brown is the golf leader. It was decided that the club give money out of its treasury to purchase
Linl{s Smash Omaha Tecl1 5-1 in Tennis Tech\; Ace, Beu Miller, Wins Lone Match From Warren Goldstein, Red Aud Black No~ 1 Man Coach Joe Toman's tennis team was off to a good start on its 1939 campaign by smashing Omaha Tech 5 to 1 in a dual tennis match. Because of the bad weather, the mat ches were played on the courts inside of the University of Nebraska's .coliseum, last Saturday. The lone Tech victory came when their ace Ben Miller, downed Warren Goldstein, 6-2, 10-8. Dubuque Wins Thriller. Dick Dubuque won a thriller from Robert Lewis, 1-6, 8-6, 6-0. Dick had trouble getting started, but when he did, it was "good-by" for Lewis. Considering that was the first time that the Lincoln boys had played together as doubles, they came out fine. Dick Gellatly and Goldstein teamed up to smash Mi.ll~r and Bennett Kurovsky 6-2, 6-4. Th~ two Dick's, Dubuque and Svoboda, downed Tom Casey and Lewis in a one set match 6-2. Play on Wood Floor. The fact that they played on a wood floor instead of outside' on the clay courts, hampered both teams. The balls lost some of their life when bounced 011 wood. The tournament to see who would complete the Lincoln tennis team was finished just about two days before the match, 'so they didn't have much time to practice. Mr. Toman is· still wo;:king to get more games for his tennis team and has added Havelock and Jackson to his schedule.

Lincoln Beats Madison 6 to I
Sports Chatter
On Wet Field
Truman Clare, senior, 1938 light weight olympics champion and feather weight Nebraska university boxer and 1939 State Y. M. C. A. feather weight champion, put on an exhibition for the Jackson Hi-Y Monday evening in the Jackson high school field h ouse. This was a t une-up bout for Cl.are, since he expects to defend his laurels in this year's olympics at 135 pounds. Charley Hoffman, a senior who has moved J1ere froi;n Gr&,nd Island, is getting along very weli in t rack. He has ab:'eady thrown. the shot 49 feet and has done well in the other field events. He will be a great help to Lincoln's track team. Harlan Culwell, a senior; ha s been working on track all winter and is coming a long very well in the distance runs. He is tight next to Bob Francisco in the mile, is f irst in the 880, and should be a good man on the track team. Lincoln high lost a valuable football candidate when Stanley Cohen recently moved to Norfolk. Weighing 180 pounds and being short stocky type, he would have been a serious contender for a first string berth. St an played tackle on the reserves last year and proved himself a valuable man. Don Loveli, senior, was appointed captain of the baseball team by Coach Mueller. Don plays shortstop and if he letters this year he will be a three year letterman.

3·0 decision in the debate finals, Thursday afternoon. Champions Argue on Affirmative. The champions upheld the af-
firmative a gainst the seniors on the debate question, "Resolved that the railroads of the United States should be governmentally owned and operated." The juniors based their case. on the fact that government ownership would result in doing away with shipping discrimination between the north and south. The case of the seniors resolved upon the definition of the question. Winners Rate High. Meyer and Schaufelberger were rated by the judges as the t wo best speakers in the debate. Judging were Frank W. Ledger, a teacher · a t Jackson high school; Calvin R ollins, former Lincoln high del:>ator and now a student at the University of Nebraska; Donald Myer -Wright photos. and Lavern Pruden, a debater on the Doane college forensics team before her graduation there.

Pencil Sharpener Mystery Unsolved A mere pencil sharpener has shrouded room 316 in mystery since the Friday before Easter vacation. This shiny high grade selffeeder, being one of the best in the whole building, is constantly visited by a string · of pupils who leave their chewed stubs of pencil for the 316 sharpener. Miss Emma Beekmann utterly exhausted by the ever flowing stream of questioners and groans of displeasure over the peculiar disappearance, finally vowed in her· fourth period class that she would not answer any more questions concerning the strange case. The case was thought to be solved once, when the sharpener used during the senior test In the cafeteria was mistaken for the missing self-feeder. But alas, the path was false and the mystery still linger:s on. Lincoln high might discover a crop of Sherlock Holmes' who could clear up the veil of. mystery surrounding 316. All information concerning the case may be brought to the Advocate office.
Lumiline Light Shown In Shops Demonstrations of the new type lumiline light and a lighting display was giyen April 1 T in the electricity shop. . \ Pupils from the various cla sses visited the display which consisted of a new type desk lamp which makes use of polarized glass t.o limit the glare, a lumiline light which makes use of a new type gas and a florencence material to give a light similar to sunlight. It consumes only twenty watts of power while the bulb gives 60 watta of light. A hanging chandelier., a plug which may be locked, ,Jlnd the three light floorlight which permits the use of three, two or one lights of varying intensities were also demonstrated.
44-Year Old Program Found It's interesting to see how a j unior program of 1895 compares with one of today. Then the p1<9.gram was script-mimeographed and began with an instrumental solo followed by a recitation and then a short · farce after which came a song, compo ed by a Lincoln high pupil. Speeches by a freshman, sophomore, junior and senior were given. After a brief recess, came the main play which was entitled: "A Perplexing Situation." The whole program seems to be full of variety and entertainment. The old relic was brought to the Advocate office by Arthur H. F. Beckman, one of the members of the 1893 junior play' cast.

Schedule for the day consisted of an executive committee meeting. luncheon and address, and business meeting." Joseph A. Alexis, chairman of the department of Germanic Ian• guages, ·university of Nebraska, spoke on "Europe Through The Eyes of a Nebraskan."

Miss Montgomery went from Kearney to Superior, to attend the convention of Business and Professional Women.
Hobby of Others, Business of Exper·t In Wood Work, Metal Work and Clay What is Dale R. Van Horn's business is other people's hobby. He is one of the very few persons in the United States who earn their livelihood writing up plans of gadgets and novelties that they invent. He is an expert in wood~ work, metal work ·and with clay. . Sometimes when there is a great demand for an unusual novelty, he is known to have a shift of twenty workers in his basement work-shop. He explained that the occupation is a few different fields merged into one topped, tiy one talent, an inventive mind and the ability to discern the unusual. He told of ·his first piece of writing which was done on his birthplace, a cattle ranch in Sherman county, when but a lad. It was an invention to keep ducks from bathing in thefr drinking water, for which he received the grand total of one dollar. He not only writes up his own Ideas but those of others. Recently. he made a 700 · mile trip in the Middle West accompanied by his camera, seeking the unusual, such as clever mail . boxes, ideas to lighten the farmers• business, etc. The photographs alone sold for about five dollars apiece to the Popular Mechanics Magazine to which Mr: Van Horn claims to be the oldest contributor from tl~e point of service. This magazine carries at I.east eight of his articles monthly. He went back to the camera

angle and explained, "The cam~ra idea is the best, first because the average photograph lends connection, the reade·r actually sees that the idea exists and secondly because it is far more attra ctive. It never has to be done over," he added, "wher eas the drawing is sometimes completely revised. A photograph also brings a higher selling price. Some of his photographs were published in the Look magazine on the subject of the Nebraska university dating_ bureau, recently. In 1928 he was accepted in the "Who's Who" for his book, "Sportscraft," a compilation of so.me of his many magazine articles, all of which, if bound, would make 130 volumes. "Sportscraft" may be found in almost every library in the country. He said, "My work is ideal (if you have an inventive mind ) as • a future career and also it is a good side line.'' He added that it makes a better sideline than a livelihood. He encourages all high school boys who are gifted with originality and an inventive mind, to illustrate their plans by drawing or photograph and to send them into a fitting magazine, such as the Country Gentleman, Popular Mechanic, etc. Pen names are no longer necessary, for editors, who once used them to prevent partialit y to one author, now seldom ask for them. He warned, "Ideas count, not th~ style of writing."
Faculty Committee Selects Two Pupils From Final Entrants Of the six final contestants, Gene Bradley and Robert Weil have been chosen as speakers for the senior commencement exer• clses, June 7. Bradley's speech will be "A Talk With a Roman Soldier" and Weil's, "It's the Law.'' Speakers wer e picked by a com• mittee of faculty judges composed of Miss Jane Schaible, Miss Doris Steeves, Mrs. Bernice Tebbetts, Miss Lillia n Monia, Miss Olivia Pound, E . B. Phillips, and Mrs. Gra ce Hyatt, chairman. Six candidates were chosen for the final t r y-outs from the nineteen entrants whose pieces were read anonymously by a sifting committee of English teachers. Lots were drawn to determine t.he order of the contestant's appear• ance. They were as follows: Romulo Soldevilla , "New Frontiers"; Gene Bradley, "A Talk With a Roman Soldier" ; John Jay Douglass, "Education for What?" ; Robert Weil, "It's the Law"; George Blackstone, "The Pot of Gold 1).gainst Success"; Marjorie Blewfield, "Sharpen Up.'' Contrary to last year, the full speech was r ead instead of excerpts, also the speakers were chosen without consideration as to sex. "It was the hardest contest we have ever judged," said Mrs. Hyatt, chairman, speaking for the whole committee . "No mistake would have been made in choosing any. They were all good· and it was a plea sure as well as a responsibility."

sponsored. by Lieutenant R. O. . . . Bennett, 1s meetmg m the a ud1torium · every Tuesday after school. Lieutenant Bennett has found t hat he can complete the course in four meetings instead of six as originally announced. Therefore the two a dditional meetings will rep eat the work covered in the first t wo meetings. Anyone wishing to enter t he traffic school this w eek may do so, and complete the course in four consecutive meetings. First lesson Tuesday of last w eek was compiled of s everal slides showing accidents and their causes. A movie showing the advance and safety of the modern car from the horse and buggy stage was given and Lieutenant Bennett talked ori the progress of Lincoln in cutting down her auto accidents and the high standa rd of health. Lieutenant Bennett declared that in 1937 there were eighteen persons killed in auto accidents and in 1938, there were only eight killed. Due to this big improvement, Lincoln was awarded a plaque, not for being good, but "for the big improvement. Also it was sta ted tha t Lincoln ranked first in medical knowledge and had an exceptionally good record in health. It is hoped that Lincoln may win a first place health certificate this year. Last year, Lincoln won fourth place.
Physiology Students See Film on Cancer In Miss Helen Schemel's physiology 2 classe!I this past week, the students have seen two different types of films, _one concerning the three systems of our body, circulatory respiratory and nervou~ and the other film on cancer. Dr. Rector who has been traveling about for some time explaining the cancer disease and how it can be cured in early stages was present to g ive first hand information when the cancer film was shown. "Lying in the sun and expos• ing the body to violent sun rays is one of the best ways to pro· mote growth of a cancer and it is well to be more careful," he explained. "Also it has been discovered that smokers are often the persons who have developed cancer. There was found an extreme number of cases among women today which were not found years ago." The students are giving book reports which will conclude the second six-weeks work.
. cat'10ns, and spend.m g Saturda y afternoons, the members of the Hi-Y have n eal'ly completed the refinishing of the large s econd floor room of the Hi-Y building. The whole job has been done by members with ·t he expert advice of Don Littrell, in charge of the Hi-Y building. After nearly two semesters of paint s mea ring, papering, and tak· ing home paint stained clothes, the boys have pa inted the room, papered, and refinished it. The woodwork has been pa inted brown, and cream colored paper has been plastered on the walls. The ceiling was first covered with a sealer, then painted a buff color. The m embers worked in shifts of fr om 4 to 8 on Saturdays and during the holidays. Some perched on scaffolds and clung to the cross beams while others painted the woodwork, the windows, glass and ·all, and g enerally themselves. Think of Robert Alberty, that grave and s erious scholar, smear• ing paint on the rafters; John , Wills, hot man of music, drumming on the woodwork with a paint brush; ·and Gilbert Ryder, the shiek, pla stering strips of wall pa.per. Remaining to be finished is the floor which will be varnished and the w indows which will have new curt'ains. New light fixtures will add a finished touch to the room in which the meetings will be held in the future. So if a Hi-Y member boasts of his new coat of tan it's only the old brown paint, slightly worn. Pupils shook their heads wonderingly when they saw Pi-Y members hurrying around laden with old clothes hangers of all descriptions. In char ge of all this w as Dee DePutron who sold them to help pay for the cost of the redecorating.

The state legislature passed a la w giving the power to the chancellor of the University of Nebraska to limit the enrollment. This should be of great interest to most of the g·raduating seniors of Lincoln high school._ ~he chancellor can lii:nit the enrollment by ra1smg ·t he price of tuition or by an intelligence examination, not admitting a certain undisclosed p er cent of the low graders. This was brought about by the large enroll·· ment of students and the small funds appro· priated to the university by the state.

Why Not BoostLincoln Instead of Finding Fault? We fii1d that n~arly, everyone has his pet complaints against his city and. is more than willing to air them upon the slightest prov"· cat ion, as well as any other idea that may strike him at the moment. Yet when we stop to think about 'it, there's not so much wrong with our town after all, so why not give her the boost that she's entitled to once in a while, instead of almost constant knocks. · 'l'hink for a moment of onr downtown section . 'l'here ar c few «itics t hat can lwast of frss e1;l°:ifi.isfo!1 and t l:itffi l: jams in th eir down· town areas than Lincoln can. Still another thing; our police are helpful and pleasant and they're courteous, too, even wheh the occasion might well provoke a different sort of manner. lt may be true that since Lincoln is comparatively lt small city, we don't have t he traffic problems that larger cities do, but we have our problems nevertheless. and what's · most important is that they've been worked out in admirably efficient fashion.
Color Conditioning .Creates Sensation off.Comfort ·'
You should feel warmer when snow is on the ground, than when it isn 't, temperature beii1g the same, says a n al'ticle in a late Reader 's Digest. 'l'he article goes on to explain that the white spreads the heat around a nd doesn't let it sink into the ground. We 're - learning many new ways to use color for our greater comfort, safety, or even health. "Mood conditioni1ig " is coming in~.o vogue in mom. illumination . Blue-green is now common in hospital operating rooms. It rests the surgeon's eyes and makes him a bit sm·et with the knife. An insane asylum in Illinois uses red to perk up cases of melancholia. Blue has good results on neurotics. Persons with shattered nerves have found comfort in a room bizarrely decorated with gaudy checks and stripes of color. t t gives t heir minds ii. sensory r elease from ''jitters. ' ' Green light has been tried on criminals in a mirrored room to make their guilt seem written on their faces and t herefore obvious to the w'orld. In technicolor n1ovies, blue and red, for emost sensation colors m ake you feel the way the director wants you to f eel. Perhaps this would be a good suggestion for t he school board, whenever it decides to redecorate. It might also aid pupils with theit difficulties in studying.

Hanev's Topic Is Liauid Air University Prof,essor Gives Demonstration Of Liquid Air's Uses Prof J. W. Haney of the University of Nebraska and his assistant, Mr. Booth, gave a demonstration on the- uses, peculiarities and the effect of liquid air on other substances at the chemistry club meeting last Friday. Liquid air is so cold (310 degrees below zero F) that it seems hot when allowed to stay on one's hand. Liquid air is a substance which looks a great deal like water, but there is always evaporation taking place because it is so cold that this normal temperature of the air gives it this effect. It has very strange reactions on various substances, many of which were shown by Prof. Haney. Where liquid air is poured into plain water it d-oes not mix, but it boils due to the great lowness of the water's temperature. A flower was soaked in the liquid and it froze so solidly that it could be crumbled by using the hand. With a banana, the professor drove a nail into a board after, of course, the banana had been applied to this uncommon subst;rnce. A cigarette was saturated with liquid ·air and then lighted. It burned with such rapidity that no smoke was given off, nor were there any ashes left. As this substance costs $2.50 per quart, a fee of lOc was charged for admission.

Comic Cartoom Representing Bills Dis played In Modern Problems Classes
Student Visits Morton Home
Candid Camera Catches Queer Poses Of ljnwary Teacher and Pupils
Commercial Club ·Elects Officers
Displayed in Mrs. Grace Hyatt's modern problems classes are cartoons of the different bills passed by the Unicameral Legislature. One of the most interesting is made by Clyde Dean -.showing a big strong he-man about to swallow a gold-fish. It says, "With all our fishing laws, how can we prevent this?" Another good one by Clyde Dean shows a safecracker breaking into a safe and over it the legend, "How can the Legislature get to intangibles and keep from looking like this?" There were three cartoons made on bill 72, to prevent or prohibit walkathons, maratnons and other similar contests of endurance in the state of Nebraska. ·one of the best was Glen Eppens, showing one person completely "out," and another couple just barely "Going, Going," while a man taps them on the shoulder and says, "I'm sorry but you'll have .to call it a night as there's a law against walka· thons!" Bill 28, revising commercial seine Jaw to conform with Iowa's, was cleverly shown by an Iowa and Nebraska fisherman fishing side by side in a stream and the Iowa man is tapping Nel:raska on
the back saying, in reference to fish Nebraska has just caught, "You've got to throw her back, neighbor, he's over the limit!" Bill, setting the speed limit on highways to 60 miles an hour for passenger cars, and 45 miles an hour for trucks was also cartooned by Glen Eppens showing a cop on a motorcycle chasini[ a car and shouting, "Hey, slow down, you lug!" Bill 139, limiting the number of examinations to be taken by pupils for entrance to high school from 14 to 8 was cartooned by Janet Betty Kenny. It. showed two girls going home from school saying, "Hurrah, we shouldn't have to study late, for instead of 14 examinations to get into high school we are now required to take only 8." Last but not least was a cartoon of a bridge with two fishes in the water under the bridge saying, "Our home is quiet now, the people can go over the bridge for nothing. " This was in reference to bill 100, which was to appropriate $63,000 from the state gasoline fund for purchase of Louisville Platte river bridge, to make it toll free.
Henry Reichel, football player, went to Shenandoah, Iowa, with Mr. and Mrs. Tudor, son, and daughter, Jearine, a nd Betty Evans, Sunday· and on the return trip they stopped at Nebraska City to visit Arbor Lodge. Accompanied by a guide, they visited the stable where a collection of stage coaches and buggies are kept. One buggy was purchased at the price of $750.00 in Chicag-o by J. Sterling Morton; another was purchased at the price of $1,500.00. Leaving the the stable they were guided through the mansion which is composed of 52 rooms. Many interesting collections are on exhibit here, many documents, confederate moJ!eY and most interesting of l!Jl, the paper which told of the assassination of President Lincoln. . There is also a 'collection of furniture. One of the articles is a bed which is now l:>O years old and some of the waUpaper is 50 years old. Arbor Lodge.is an 80 ·acre estate which has been turned over to the state of Nebraska. Arbor Day, which is in honor of J. Sterling Morton, is now a national holiday.
Firllt it was a dog, then Henry Reichel's window ledge walking, but now it is Bill York, a candid camera :fiend, who induces the jittery feeling in the pupils a.nd teacher of home room 207. The dog could be coaxed out of the room, Henry jumped nimbly from the ledge when Miss Stee·1es turned around, but only the end of the roll of film would stop the pictur:e taker. Perched in one corner, Bill snapped the unsuspecting prey as they entered. When home room convened, everyone was fully aware of the hunter's presence and causally tried to a void . the embarrassment which is stirred up when pictures are taken unexpectedly. Bill saved r:either energy nor ·film. He caught the teacher reprimading the class and her amusement when she discovered what he was doing. He recorded on film students' last minute efforts
to translate their Latin, to find another item for their English 8 assignment sheet, the lip-stick dabbing of girls who failed to rise early enough to complete the paint job, a disg·usted looking f_ellow brushing off the hair that fell on his books when the girl ahead of him insisted on recombihg her curls. Within the range of his camera he could reg ister tour types of slackers,. The laziest brand, those w ho vacantly gaze At the ceiling, the type who displays his none too good artistic ability below the Latin sentences on the blackboard, the artistic feil ow, not yet arrived at the blackboard stage, who practices on the desk before making a formal debut, and last but not the least trouble those gossips adding height to the latest unfounded tall tales. With these candid camera men loose, our lives are not our own. Where will we be when telev_ision takes over!
Commercial club held an election of officers and made plans for the organization's annual picnic to be held, Wednesday, May 17, . during its regular meeting las t Wednesday.

Coach Cy Yordy's strong Lincoln high track squad successfully defended its laurels at York last Saturday by scoring 80112 points to the closest opponent's 30~'2 points. Having entered all class A events, the boys of the cinder clan scored in every event to win 21 medals, 10 of gold signifying first place winners, and the York class A trophy. Howard Debus, three-sport letterman, won the discus, pole vault and javelin, and placed second in the shotput to grab highest in.d ividual honors. Two Records Broken. Leonard Bornschlege of .Ohiowa set a new mark in the · class B high jump when he cleared six feet five-eighths of an inch. The ofoer new record was brok~.n by Laverne Clabaugh of Nelson in the 440, who pedaled around the oval in 53.1 seconds, three-tenths of a second faster than the mark by Stuhr of McCool last year. Neligh was second, jusf. 50 points behind the winners. On account of the stiff wind mixed with a dust storm, the. boys didn't get to tumble the records that were expected of them. Bob Sexton was · 1argely responsible for points garnered in the 100 yard dash and the 880 yard relay, starting the relay team to the thrilling finish that Mark Allen completed and winning the 100 yard dash by a hair's breadth. Bob Francisco and Harlan Culrace. Bob wa.s uanimously elected as captain of the track team on the way back to Lincoln. Ervin MarshaU and Max Berquist finished first and third respectively in the 880 yard run. Billy Pierson and Bob Weygint . finished third and fourth in the 200 yard low hurdles, but both boys lost their step on the curve. Field Is Swept by L.incoln. The pole vault was won by Rowand Debus. Jimmy Johnson gar· n ered fourth in the same event, In the high jump qµite a duel was staged between Bob Jordan, of Lincoln high and Slop Findley, the bearded wonder from Grand Island, and they finally tied for first place at 5 feet 101h inches. Jim Nickerson pulled in a third in this event. In the discus, Howard Debus and Charles Hoffman came in one-two; in the shotput things were reversed with Hoffman winning. Lebsack Wins Broad Jump. Wilber Lebsack surprised · him- . . self as he won the broad jump at the distance of 21 feet 5 inches. This is at least a foot farther than Wilber ever jl\ffiped before. Jack Hyatt pulled in a third.

Ben Kohout Starts First Game for Red & Black, Allows Only On~ Hit, Strikes Out Four Tutors Coach Frank Mueller's baseball team has done it again! Last Thursday, April 21, the Red and Black smashed Teac.h er's high to the tune of 13 to 0. Benny · Ko·hout, Mueller's ranking No. 2 southpaw, started his first · game for Lincoln a nd gave credible showing for himself by issuing only one safety. · The lone Teacher's hit was a screaming double by Bob Danley in the opening stanza, although the Links could collect only !!even blows, there was enough wildness on the part of the T utors to allow for the margin. Five errors aided the Lincoln ca.use, H a rvey "Hook" Lauer and substitute first baseman, Charley Gordon, led tJ:ie Muellermen in the slugging department,· each clouting a three base blow while Lauer also had a single. Kohout Whiffs 4, Walks 2. Kohout whiffed four Teachers' batsmen while allowing only two to reach first base via the free• pass route. The blonde portsider had the situation well in hand after the first inning. Harold Dan• ley struck out eleven Lin<:olnites during the four cantos that he worked. Lloyd Danley, Teachers starting chucker, didn't fare so well. He had four wild pitches charged against him before brother Harold relieved him in the third. Jennings Out With Measles. Bill "Little Willis" Jennings 1·egular first baseman, wilt be lost to the Red and Blac k squad for about a week. He came down with measles last week. Charley Gordon, subbing for Jennings had a regular field in the territory arou,nd first base, getting credit for t en outs.

Brother Juniper put his conclusions in a book. He believed he saw in the same accident, the wicked called to th.e ir destruction and the good to their reward. There is one bridge between the living and the dead, that is love and love iri this life may call some from wickedne&s to join the good. But Brother Juniper was condemned for his investigation as being heretical. His body and his book were burned at the stake, but his faith lives on.

"Lefty" Glass, a junior, who lettered last year in baseball, looks as if he · will r epeat this year. :In six innings "Lefty"' has a llowed but two hits, one run and has struck out thirteen. "Lefty" also has one win to his credit while not losing a game. One reason suggested for his fine showing is that he wears a hat this year. Last year "Lefty" pitched all of his ball games without a hat. Hats off to you, "Lefty."· The Wednesday, April 12, issue of the Advocate ,..carried an item naming seven former Lincoln high football .. players ·on the "first" team of the University of Nebraska. In the first place, there is no university "first" team at this time. The spring activity lists a training squad of more than seventy candidates, and from this group no first, second or any other select group has been named by the university coaching staff. The Lincoln players named were Bob Ramey, Herman Rohrig, Ed Schwartzkopf, Sam Scilwartzkopf, Adna Dobson, Bob Ludwig and Willard Bunker. Why overlook Forrest Behm, who started every-game last season at right tackle; Fred Meier, considered one of the best center prospects on the Nebraska squad, Lynn Myers, Vic Schlei.c h and Sam Fuenning, the latt er on the 1935 squad. Also Charles Carper. who broke his arm in h is sophomore year at Lincoln, did not get into the Lincoln lineup on account of his injury, but later lettered at end with Culver Military academy, LeRoy Farmer lettered at halfback on the 1937 Lincoln high team. Bill Pfieff ts eligible for another year, and, while not out for spring football, may join the fall squad for his final year. Unless some more are overlooked, Lincoln high has fifteen formP.r players on the Nebraska squad. A FAN.

Tulip Beds In Bloom On School Grounds Miss Effie Noll has undertaken the landscaping of the patio around which the new addition to the main building is built. Tulips in shades of red and pink are now blooming under the windows of room 125, her home room. She planted more than 100 bulbs last October because of the unslightliness of the wold oats which formerly grew there. The enterprising pupils in her home room have dug many of the dandelions which grew there and intend to mow the grass soon. Miss Noll would like to have a border of iris around the remainder of the court. It would be appreciP.ted if _''tny studen.t.s have irfr .vh1ch c,__ey would be willing to contribute to this cause.

Sport Clothes for
High School Girls "S_oort t;•pes of clothes for high school girls," says Mrs. L. o. Paine, buyer of women's ready-to wear department of Miller and Paine. About three-fourths of the dresses have jackets this year. As for sleeves, Mrs. Paine says, "Sleeves are almost all short and the· necks of dre::;ses are high or low according to what you prefer." According to Mrs. Paine, two Paris authorities say that skirts will be a little longer. However this hasn't been noticed in the United States as yet. When buying the dresses, the buyers sit in booths so that buyers from different ~tores will not be together. The models walk by thein and if the buyers like the dress they write down the number of it. Those they especia lly like they underline. The buying is not doIJE i.;:ntil after all· the styles are seen. The Hollywood styles are not so good for afternoon dresses or evening clothes, but are good for sport clothes. Most of the New York styles are copies of Paris styles. For instance if a New York stylist likes the sleeves of a Paris style, then he will use that sleeve for the sleeve of several of his own dresses and leave the rest of the dress just the same. As for the colors this year, Mrs. Paine comments that there is hardly a color that isn't used. Four colors are u5ad together and clear rather than muted tones are used. Skirts are all quite full, either pleated or flared. Mrs. Paine says to expect to see cottons and spun rayons this year. She added "Almost without exception spun rayon material is used because it iB washable."

Every teacher who gives home work should emphasize the necessity of doing close work in good light." Plans have been made to have films brought here by Dr. M. F. Arnholdt, city health physician, and probably be shown today, to all biology, physiology, hygiene and physical education classes: The second floor corridors will be hung with posters, on the conservation of eyesight, the development of spectacles, colored blindness and scientific color schemes. "This is a broad subject and bound to be of interest to everyone," says Miss Scheme!, ''and we should get 100 per cent cooperation." Mrs. Mary Mapes and her fifth period assistant, Ruth Rupert, are making posters for the home rooms, to show the examination of eyes. V\Then the posters come out to the home rooms little pamphlets will be given to each pupil, on how to protect and care for the eyes.

Of Senior P~rty
Swing had more than 130 sen- • iors in its clutch at their annual party held last Friday at King 's ba llroom. Johnny Cox and his orchestra p rovided the music for the "jitterbugs," and classmates, t he entertainment. Don Lovell proved himself to be the life of the party when, upon the request of the president, Gene Bradley, for some "home talent," he was selected. A regular jam session followed with Don thrilling the crowd as he "slapped" out a few numbers on the bass. Later in the evening, he was again called upon, to sing, and chose for his number "Rock It for Me." Sharing the spotlight with Don, were Lewis Day, Janet Lehr and Josephine Heilman. Lewis played "Star Pust" and Sugar Blues" on his trumpet, Janet gave two snappy tap dances and J osephine sang " Deep P urpl_e ." Punch was served and numerous games were available for those who preferred them rat her than dance. Chaperons included the sponsors, ·Mrs. Bernice Tebbetts and Miss Lillian Mania, as well as, the senior home room teachers, and H. C. Mardis, 0. W. Hack;nan, Miss Oliva Pound, one of the junior sponsors, Miss Ruth Hall, and the following parents: Mr. and Mrs. Walter Gardner, Mr. and R. E. Weirich and Mrs. Paul Bradley.
Teacher Speaks For Convention Miss Florence J enkins, member of the social science department a t Lincoln high, spoke Saturday morning at the Breakfast For um of t he Nebraska History Teachers convention at Student Union on "How Experts Say We Should Do it." Miss J enkins analyzed the various methods of teaching social sciences, as given by experts. She said, "I subscribe to a combination of chronological and topi· cal approach in the unit form of organization. The pupil has been exposed to the chronological un-folding of happening and mcvements all of his life. I have observed that so strong is this notion of chronology, even in high school pupils, t hat many of them think that an event recorded in the middle of a history text necessarily happened after those recorded earlier in the book. It is difficult for them to get the seamless web notion of history. It appears then that any organization of history material will need to be clarified. I would attempt to confine the unit to a period of constant and uninterrupted growth." Miss Car rie Roberts has two Inore years to serve as secretary. treasurer of the organization.
Advocate Sta/f, Trying to Predict Trends In Lincoln High, Follows Gallop's Trail "If Gallop can do it, so can we," decidf'd the staff of the Advocate, a~ set to work to duplicate Gallop's Institute of Public Opinion on a Lincoln high school s cale. The Gallop poll takes into consideration the locality in which a person lives, his age, sex, color, financial standing and political opinions. The Advocate poll con~ siders the grade a person is in, the junior high school from which he came, sex and t he general class of work done by parent or guard-, ian. Percentage of pupils in each of these groups was carefully figured. Then a group of 300 pupils was chosen in which the percentage of pupils in each group corresponded to the percentage o.f pupils in that group from the whole school. Thus if 100 of our 3,000 pupils at Lincoln high school came from E verett, 10 of the selected group of 300 came from Everett. Last Friday questionnafres were distributed thru home room teachers to the selected 'pupils which
they were asked to fill out during home room period. No r ecord of names was made on the questionnaire. If the poll represents an accurate cross section of Lincoln high school the results of t h ese questionnaires represent the t rend of Lincoln high s chool thought. Asked which they feel more accurately measured their knowledge, objective tests (true-false, multiple choice etc.) or the discussion question type of test, 54.8 percent favored objective tests, 43.8 percent discussion questions and 1.7 percent failed to show a preference. Boys split the vote evenly, 48.8 percent to 48.8 percent, with 2.4 percent not marking and girls favored objective tests 60.2 percent to 38.7 percent with only 1.1 p~rcent failing to mark the question. When asked what factor influenced their enjoyment of a subject the most, 10.7 percent replied "teacher's personality," 14.2 percent were swayed by t he teacher's presentation, 27.3 percent. were influenced by the subject matter of
the course, 3.8 percent found that their classmates turned t heir impressions, 26.2 regarded the r ela· tion of the course to a desired vocation the determining factor and 1.7 percent considered the .:ase wit h which they conquered the subject of the most importance. 16.1 percent marked t wo answers. The third question concerned the factor which did the most to shape their reaction to a teacher. The results : Girls .

Road Signs Topic Of Traffic School How to identify and use road markers was t h e theme of the second chapter of the traffic school. Lieutenant Bennett told how to identify signs by their shape and color and emphasized that no matter where one tra~els in this country the road signs are standard. A contest dealing with traffic problems was helrl with six L. H. S. pupils participating. The boys won over the girls by a majority of 10 points. Those participating w ere: Mary Aileen Cochran; Barbara Jones; Martha Ann Reed ; Harry Lemley; Tom Davis and D on Stewart. A movie sponsored by the Chrysler corporation ended the program.

BY_ROSEMARY PROBST. Natrona County High School, Casper, Wyo. Sure I could- drive. Where'd I learn 1 Oh, I just picked it up. Nobody at home wanted to take the time to teach m e, so I just learned by myself. I'd never had an accident before, and I'd been driving for three months. How was I to know you couldn't travel forty miles an hour when it was snowing, and still stay on the road? Nobody ever told me how to drive in bad weather. When I saw that ot her car coming. and I was . still skidding I just jammed on rni, h !.'>ib:>i. L-\ 0 on e e.ver told. me rn::it was the wrong thing to Jo. Yes, I'm still i n high s chool and I'm old enough to drive. Yes, most of my friends learned to drive just as I did. Well, perhaps sorne of them were taught 11ow to drive. Their pi1rents either taught them or had them taught, but most of the kids just taught themselves. Would I like to learn to drive? I '11 say I would. That is, I would if I could, but wh en ·· I hit that car, after skidding all over the hil!·i1way, I broke my back. \X{hy, I won't even be able to walk. It's too late now.

·Pupils Attendance Desired At School Sports Activities The present season has found lrns eball enjoying a welcome revival in many Nebras:;:a high schools. · This awakened interest in onr national pastime h as undoubtedly been encouraged by the first Nebraska state high school baseball t ournament being held l\:Iay !J, 12 and 13 here in Lincoln. Coach :Mueller's present baseball team is up to the u su al tea m standard and so, anticipating a lively season and a possible championship team, Lincoln high students should make 'ill honest effort to support whole heartedly the team at all home ga mes and at the tournamellt, along with the Peppers and the Lynx who have pledged their attendance. Lincoln high 's n ew b a seball uniforms are a credit to the school along with the t eam. Students, let u s a lso be a credit to the school and give the t eam the encouragement it deserves.
Spring Cleaning Produce$ Turmoil in the Home What magic does April hold that greens the • grass, OP.ens the tulips, causes lovers to sigh and lanquish, yet creates in m a ture woman the desire to make her home unfit for living 1 From the first g entle show ers and warm breezes that herald the fair spring month, the debacle begins. Curtains come clown, rugs come up, the smell of paint permeates the air a nd even the food. Speaking of food . . . the meals during this period usually become monotonous affairs out of tin cans; " short cuts" that are usually spurned by women proud of their cooking
skill. Mothers, feveris h from their efforts to achieve new effects with little more than wild shades of pai n t, elbow grease and a desire for self-expression, are persons n o t to - be trifled with. Fathers with the grim enduring look of victims of the inquisition moan loudly upon the injustice of a world that contains movable furniture. · Children move silently and f earfully between wet paint and old furniture in new and unexpected places. Comes May-the strange magic spell has vanished. The house is home again with a \yell-baked loaf of bread, a luscious oozy p ie, an<J the sm ell of mother's famous stew over all. Peace again,.

notic.:. a change in-well, er-oh---w ell n igh vn ever;rthing 'bout this school since that started. T~a1,; certain gleam is gone from the eyes, that k 1ll•3r lW:>t.inct has dwindled to almost noni:xistence. I don't drive a car, and I doubt if even you -.·.-hn rlo drive get close enough to another driver to see if that "gleam" is or is not gone from his eye. But I notice it in the halls and on the vi'alks. The strident ( 's) bo,ly does n't seem to wheel around those corners with a ten ton Mack truck effect any more. And actually just yesterday I observed two (here's where the believe-it-or-not effect corne in) senior football players arguing about which was to pass which first in the hall!! Ho well, is it the outcome of. the traffic school or spring or my imagination-or maybe I've grown and do not become so offended by that contestable, indigestable congestibilitiness so much as before. But then how could I grow tliat much in the past two weeks-it must be the traffic school.

An artist used to be a temperamental in. di\'idual who wore smocks and long hair and starved in a garret. There he painted pictures of flower gardens. But in this modern age, an artist wears red and purple shirts with blue pants, green socks and a pink tie, lives sumptuously in a m odernistic studio-apartment. Here he paints a conglamorati6n of a cogwheel, a shovel, a muscular arm and a waterfall, and calls it "Love in Bloom." What is the world coming to ?

To the Editor: It seems to me that Lincoln high school either hit-s quite a few nervous boys or they're twirling their key chains for amusement. I am not contradicting the boys because ' I am a so-called twirler myself, but I didn't know that it hurt when you got hit with a key chain until a key chain being twirled very fast cormected with my arm, and I can sympathize with any one being hit by a chain whirler. So boys, let's watch where we whirl those key chains and save a few feelings. Paul Pothast. To the Editor: Why is it that the same persons always hold class offices ? Is it be· cause out of some 2,000 pupils there are only twEl've who have the necessary ability capably to carry on this work? Common sense tells us that there are inany who could be just as capable if they were given half a chance. Almost without fail the same persons are nominated and elected again and again until they become ineligible because there are no more positions to hold. The truth of the matter, it seems to me, is that the students themselves are not interested enough to promote new leadership. The names of the same persons appear and reappear in all sorts of ways until they are thoroughly stamped on the minds of the pupils. Therefore the natural, and easy thing to do is to vote for the familiar names. We have an excellent ex· a~ple of this in our state offices. I truly believe it would be well worth while for Lincoln high to bring to light the obscure fellow. Seek out and make known the w01'thwhile qualities of others who are likely to serve the school later. An even better solution would be to allow pupils to hold office dnly once and thus give other capable students a chance. A system of this sort would prove of great benefit to Lincoln high school. A Junior. To the Editor: This iuea that certain pupils have of telling another student at the bee-inning- of the semeester. "I :.urn pity you third per10a. I haa her last semester an<) oh, the tests sl).e gives, and the grades she gives · 11-re twice at bad. Why, I nearly 'flunked' and I usually get 2's in that cour~.'' About the tenth week in the semester I got to thinking of this seJf pity I . had boon administering to n1yself all this time just because of a friend (or is it an enemy by now) making such a statement. I was worried when I entered the class room, and was just about ready to dig a hole, crawl in, and pull the dirt in after me, when time arrived for the six weeks grades, to come out. But I was doing average work so far as the teacher was concerned and I was learning enough to- satisfy myself, so I went back and told the friend just what I thought of her tor giving me such a scare wnen really the teacher had such a grand sense of humor, fair grading s;ystem and conducted her classes 9o well and pleasantly. Now I'm. afraid my friend and I don't agree very well; so we don't try to anymore. A S_E NIOR.
Philippine Islands To Be Nebraska Traveler's Home We have frequently heard of European travelers or of the Ar· kansas traveler but have you ever heard of the Nebraska traveler? Well maybe you think you have done an immense amount of traveling, but wait till you hear of the traveling Bob Horan is to do during this coming 1mmmer. Bob, with his mother and father, intends to go to the New York world's fair and the San Francisco world fair and after that travel to Washington, D. C., Quebec and Montreal, Canada, Niagara Falls, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Baltimore and up and down the eastern coast of the United States. Then on about Sept. 21 they will go through the Panama Canal and to Hawaii. From Hawaii they will go to the Philippine islands. They will arrive there about Oct. 30, 1939, and will stay for two years. When Bop was asked where he thought he would stay in such R wilderness he looked rather bewildered and replied that the city of Manila is a fairly modern city and that water in the city is good drinking water, although the. water oon the outside of the city must be boiled before drinking. Bob's father is in the infantry of the United States army. While Jn the Philippines he will carry on gov· iernment work.

Languages Important for Writing Vocation· Opiniori, of. lVeflraska 's. Poet Laureate John G. Neihardt, poet laureate of Nebraska, stated that his study of Virgil has unquestionably been the most help to his writing, when interviewed by an Advocate reporter after giving the program at convocation of the state university April 25. M'r. Neihardt explained how he received his high sP-hool training. At the time when he finished the eighth grade, there were high schools only in the larger towns, and, as he lived in a small town. he did not attend one. Instead, he attended the Nebraska Normal Col· lege at Wayne, and there finished a three-year high school course in 12 months. He took five heurs of Latin a day. To anyone who reads Mr. Neihardt's epics, the influence
of Virgil is plain. Instead of the fall of Troy and the wanderings of Aeneas, he hag written of the Indians, explorers and trader;:1 in the pioneer west. His "Cycle of the \Vest," now almost completed, covers the period from 1822 to 1890, culminating with the battle of Wounded K..-:iee. He has spent twenty-seven years in writing the cycle, nine of which have been spent in research. :Most of his research has not been spent among books and manuscripts, but in actual contact with people who were in the Indian wars, or who knew those who had taken part in them. In his boyhood, Mr. Neihardt lived in northeastern Kansas, near the Kaw Indian reservation, and among old
"White House Cook Book's" Recipes Show That Women Made Own Cosmetics Thirty-nine years ago, home economics classes (if there had been home economics class then) in Lincoln high school might have been studying "toilet recipes" along with their regular cooking recipes, for then every woman made her own cosmetics. "The White House Cook Book," published then, shows s.ome of the recipes they might have used. _To make her cold cream, the girl of 1899 melted "one ounce oil of almonds, half ounce i;permaceti, one drachm white wax," added "two ounces of rose water," then stirred it "constantly until cold." This may have given her that skin you love to touch, but certainly she wouldn't feel as glamorous as the girl of 1939 who has bought cleansihg' cream .fo' a beautiful jar. Instead of tweezing eyebrows then, they wanted to increase hair in the brows. To do this, "clip them and anoint with a little sweet oil. Should the hair fall out, having been full, use one of the hair invigorators.'' If the girl's eyebows were white or light, a recipe ior eyebrow dye was given. She was to "boil an ounce of walnut bark in a pint of water for an hour. Add a lump of alum the size of a filbert, and when cold, apply with a camel's-hear brush." A recipe for "Phalon's Instanta-
teous Hair Dye" is given, with the strict injunction to keep the finished compound in the dark, -(This is a trifle ambiguous, but probably it was the right thing to do.) "Burnet's celebrated Powder for the Face" was made by mixing five cents' worth of bay rum, five cents' worth of magnesia snow flake, five cents' worth of oil of lemon in a pint bottle. (It was hoped that the amount of the !n· gredients sold for five cents wouldn't change.) "Lip-salve" was made with white wax, spermaceti, sw·e et oil, and "a piece of alkanet root to color it." Worn out with her labors of cosmetic making, the gid of 1899 might refresh herself with an "Inexpensive Drink." This was "a very nice, cheap drink which may take the place of lemonade and be found fully as healthful." It consisted of "one cupful of pure cider vinegar, half a cupful of good tno· lasses, put into a one quart pitcher of ice water. A tablespoonful of ground ginger added makes a healthful .,beverage." No doubt the recipes cosmetic manufacturers use today are ltluch the same as these. There is only one Important ingredient of today's cosmetics is missing from these recipes, say the experts, and that is advertising.

Hygiene Classes Learn Eye Care; Take Temperature
Kirdy, by Harold Lamb. Recommended especially to those whose imaginations run smooti1iy without undue , lubrica• tibn, - iii this' b'ook which even' better than . the author's famous "Genghis Khan." It concerns the life, love and mission of a young Cossack, who is sworn to avenge the betraying of the Cossack brothers by a traitor, Gregory Outrepief, one of the boldest and most successful imposters Asia has ever known. He rode recklessly' over the whole of central Asia. leaving" behind him a trail of blood and fire. -Ever right behind him was the young warrior, Kirdy. How finally his -quest came to an end in a way neither he nor the reader would suspect, is told by Mr. Lamb as ably as he told of the advantures of "Nur :Mahal," "Genghis Khan," "Tammerlane" and many of. his other earlier historical novels,

How ot take temperatures and how to take care of the eyes, are being studied in Miss Ethel Murray's hygiene classes. When one takes a temperature . with a so called one-minute clinical ther· momenter, it is best to leave the thermometer in the mouth from three to fifteen minutes. The reason. for this is that the thermomenter does not begin to register immediately, and therefore, the longer it remains in the mouth, the more accurate the reading will be. One's eyes cannot function properly unless the whole body is acting correctly, for the eyes are a. part of the body. One must have proper light when using the eyes, both for efficiency and comfort. _ To have a glaring light or the sun shining directly in one's face, is as bad for the eyes as not to have enough light for them. Light coming from above and slightly behind the chair cannot annoy the eyes. One must also be sure that the shadow of a body or hand i:e llot on the work. Eyes have to last a life time, so they should always be given proper attention.

The poems of the cyde which are now completed are "The Song of Three Friends," "The Song of Hugh Glass," "The Song of the In• dian Wars," and "The Song of tho Messiah."

to prevent fogging of the picture by sunlight ot a bright s ky. Mr. Morrison suggested that a sunshade could be easily made out of tln or cardboard. Filters are other useful things to have on a vacation trip. He e;{,pla ined the uses of different red a nd yellow filters. Depth of focus and composition nhould be considered in making summer snapshots. A wide arpature is often usefuJ in subduing unimportant elements in the background o( the picture. Although vacation pictures are usually record photographs, the photographer 1;hould try to get good composition. It was decided that the club would have a "photographic clinic" · at its next meeting. Prints will be analyzed and camera will be examined and any defects corrected, if possible. ~hade,

One of the most typical lnsti· tutions of the Third Reich is compulsory labor service according to the last letter received by Robert Schlater from a German student who discussed the Hitler Youth Organization. The correspondent stated that Adolph Hitler said in his speech on May Day, 1933, "We want to teach these German peopie by means of compulsory labor Eervice that Wlusual labor neither disgraces nor dishonors, but like every other human activity, honors him who does it truly and honestly. And it is therefore our unalterable decision that every individual German. whoever he may be, whether he be rich and of high estate ,or poor, Whether the son of a professor or of a factory laborer, shall once in his life do manual labor, in order that he may know what it is, in order that he may be better abb to command because

'Harvard' Wins As Grads Star The University of Nebr aska's final spring football game was played April 22 with the "Harvard" team, composed of many former Links, chalking up a 10 to 7 victory over the "Yale" squad. The game was featured by some fine play by former Links and at the present several of the boys have appeared to clinch a starting berth on the team next fall. The starting lineups contained four Lincoln boys, namely, Bob Ramey, Ed Schwartzlwpf, Willard Bunkre and Forrest Behm. And by the end of the game Sam Schwartzkopf, Bob Ludwig, Adna Dobson, Fred Meier, Vic Schleich, Lynn Myers, Sam Fuenning, and Herman Rohrig, who was not in suit, had seen plenty of action as substitutes. Rohrig came in only to try for the extra point after a touchdown, which he made. All of these boys have at least one and many have two or three years of competition left and Coach "Biff" Jones is expecting great things from many of these former Links.

Describing the Hitler Youth Organization the student stated that at the age of 10 the boys join Pas Deutsche Yungoolk or young people service and at 14 they are moved to the Hitler Youth Organization, that at the end of onehalf year they must do manual labor service with their hands, then after their labor service they are required to have two years of military service. In the Hitler Youth Organization they have no teachers or cf· ficers, but choose a leader from among the many boys in the organization. He says that one of the chief aims of the Hitler movement. is to build comradeship between the students and to educate the German people into national unity.

Success. The thing that ever yone strives, hopes and prays for. How does one achiieve success ? Edward J . Walt, Sr., tells a story that encourages every boy and girl that thinks success will never • come his way. Mr. Walt was born in Louisville, Kentucky, May 23, 177. He has four brothers and one sister. At the age of 7 he st arted his study of the violin and this has been a part of his life ever since. At 10 he was left motherless and his father, unable to be a mother to the six children and work also, sent them to the Aabitha home at Lincoln, Nebraska. But this orphanage was not big enough for this music lover, so h e left and went into the city and worked as a bootblack and a newsboy.
"I saved all the change I could so as to continue my violin lessons," Mr. Walter stated. When he was 13 he got a job as a violinist in the orchestra at t he Lansing theater, which is now the Liberty', and at 15, he became the leader of this orchestra. He also secured a job as an errand boy in a music store. So he worked both day and part of the night. Besides saving for violin lessons he also saved money to help his father educate his brothers and sister who wer e still in the orphanage. At the age of 17 he became a musical merchandise salesman traveling in Nebraska and surroWlding states. A year later he organized t he first E d Walt orchestra which has been continued from t hat time up to a few years ago.

BEECHNE~
On May 11, 12 13 the Nebraska State Championships in golf, ten• nis, baseball, and track will be de· termined here in Lincoln, Nebraska. For the first time, a Nebraska State Champion will be crowned in baseball. From all indications, ther e will be at least thii:ty teams competing · for this high honor. There · a r e many teams that show great promise, and to win the baseball t ournament will take ·an unusually outstanding baseba ll team. Many little towns are sporting ·great teams as they concentrate their spring activity a lmost entirely on baseball. The Lincoln high t eam is fairly well balanced, and s hould be a strong contender for the baseball title. Our track t eam seems to be better balanced than last year , and is being touted a s a possible Class "A" champion. Our golf team and our t ennis t eam a lso seem to be sha ping up pretty well, and w e are a ll wishing them the best of luck in these t ournaments next w eek. · May we ask that everyone who possibly can, attenci these activities and lend their support, thus showing the p eople of Nebraska that our students ar e behind a ll of Lincoln hig h school's activities, athletic, as well as schola stic. Coach Cy Yordy will take 25 promising track athletes to tbe Bee.trice meet, to be held next Friday.
One of the biggest surprises to onlookers of Lincoln high track meets is little Billy P ierson, who, despite his small stature, is one of our best low hurdlers. In theory a hurdler must be tall, but Bill has proved that he is the exception to the rule by skipping over the 200 yard lows to t ake third place in the m eet at York. At the meeting of the N club at the University of Nebraska last week Tuesday, Bob Mills, former Links, was named president. Two other former st udents of Lincoln high received offices. Adna Dob· son is vice president, and Sam S chwa rt zkopf, sergeant-at-arms. R obert H einzelman who was injured in the finals of the state bask etball t ournament, ret urned t o F a lls City, after spending six weeks in a Lincoln Hospital. A fund raised to help pay his hospital bill netted $201 .78. One of the t rack teams most promising pole-vaulters, Jimmy Johnson, badly spiked himself as he was vault ing in a r ecent meet with Jackson. Jimmy tied for fourth place in the York meet and it is h oped that his injuries will ;not k eep him from competing in coming dashes. Fre<l Metheny top hurdler, has been lost to the track team for the r emainder of the season \>ecause of a heart ailment . F t ed is a senior and has lettered in football, baseball and track. His loss will be deeply felt but he will be a bly replaced by Jim Nickerson, a senior and a newc.o mer t o t he track squad this yea r. Jim is a lso a dependable high jumper , having taken thir d place in the York m eet last week. Nickerson has topped the highs in 8: 04 in a practice m eet this spring. The motto "A sport for every student a nd a student for every sport," h as certainly been upheld by Lincoln high students. Ther e are five different sports being played so one or these spor t s shoiild int erest the students. At the present time there are about 40 to 5 0 trackmen, 25 baseball players; 5 t ennis players who a re on t he first t eam and about 30 who h ave gone out for this sport. In golf ther e are 4 golf players on the first t eam and about 25 ·who have t ried out for golf. In softball under the direction of Coach Beechner ther e a te at the present time 30 t o 40 players and many mor e a r e signing up .

Scl1uyler Clips Lincoln 7 to 2 Lincoln Errors, Schuyler Hitting Prove Winning Margin; Glass Whiffs Coach Frank Mueller's Lincoln high baseball team finally tasted defeat after four ;Jtra1ght victories and a draw.

Even though these girls get warm and tired, they keep right ahead in hope of giving H elen Wills Moody some compet ition . Girls are forever asking, "Do I have to take after school sports ? " Most of them seem to dread it. They wonder why t hey must have tha t hour of credit to graduate: In a nswer t o· this, Miss Morgan replies that g irls are not required t o take sports after school as the credit can be earned during scnool hours. Classe.s a fter school are held solely for th~ girls who are interested in taking part in these sports. After school sports are a lot of fun and · they develop skill a nd sportsmanship.

Mark Sheffert hung up another fine showing for himself although the game ended in a draw. During t he nine innings, Mark allowed but two hits, wallrnd none and struck out 12. Norman Nelson, of Fremont, gave almost as good a showing a s he whipped 11. and gave up four h its. Showers inter rupted the game off and on during t he last five or six innings.

Sheffert then took matters into his own hand. He whiffed the next two batters to face him. It was a close shave for the Muellerman.

Lincoln high authorities are tn be con· new arrangement of Lhe 01ympics. The new plan of all twelfth grades partfoipating as seniors will undoubtedly prove more popular than the older system which found graduated January seniors returning to join forces with the 12A 's wh~le the 12B 's were counted as juniors. There surely is a stronger bond between seniors all in school than - in the mixed group already described. Allowing of more extensive participation by sophomores is not welcomed so readily. Olympics in the past nave been a ceremony sacred to the juniors and seniors and some· thing to look forwa:rd to by the underclassmen. However, it is believed that the changes ·are best for the school as a whole and that all classmen will continue to be able to regard the Olympics as a cherished school tradition. · ~ratulated on their
MQre Pupils Should Enroll In Intra-Mural, Activities Intra-mural sports are coming to the top at Lincoln. Several years ago a small beginning on a prC>gram of "inside of school" athletics began in the annual .class basketball tournament. A few years before that during the spring season an interclass track meet was held. A more extensive program has been adopted this spring that will enable more boys to participate in intra-mural sports. One of the best sports is softball. Practically every bof has played softball during his elementary school training, therefore he should enjoy playing in a tournament of this sport. The softball tourney has the needed amount of supervision. As many more teams can be entered as there are players availa~le who will participate in it. A roundrobin tournament is scheduled with the team having the highest percentage of victories at ·the end, receiving the championship. The fields in Muny ball park have been secured for the playing of these games. The only way this can be accomplished is through the cooperation of the pupils intere$ted in sports. At present there are 48 boys out for softball. This number sq.ould be doubled, in order to have enough teams for the tournament.· All boys interested should report to Ralph Beechner after school, the first night possible.
This history of the Olym·
pies from 776 B. C. to 1936 A. D. is a bock that history students, all athletes and coaches should enjoy reading.

Lo~ger Luncheon Period Pin-pricking a map of Lincoln reveals figures erasing all hope of extending the lunch period. This investigation, made by the student council, unveils the fa.ct that more persons live outside a mile radius of the school than live within it. A mile is the longest distance the average student could walk to get home and back to school in a system of 55 minutes for lunch. The basic reason for installing the shorter lunch period is not that the faculty wants you to suffer, but that there are too many students attending this school. Neither the cafe~ teria nor the surrounding eating places could possibly hold all the pupils who would be :free for µmch for 55 minutes. AB it is now, with 35 minutes, we gobble O;ur food and rush back to class, but still there is a crowd in the cafeteria and .the other eating places. Think of me- irteteasing moi:i' 1f everyone -w ere out f or 55 minutes or even 45 minutes! When the weather is favorable you could wander around the campus, but what would you do . for 55 minutes when a blizzard was raging outside or the rain was pouring down 1 There would be no place for recreation in the school, nor in the territory surrounding the school. .So you shall have to console yourself with the happy thought that according to an authoritative statistician the number of pupils going to school 20 years from now will be much less. Or did you think you would graduate before then?

Clock Collector Owns French Relics Dating Back to Very Ancient Times Time seems to go faster in the home of c. A. Tucker, formerly of Tucker-Shean Jewelers, whose display of glasses is an exhibit in the show case in front of the office in connection with eye health week. For Mr. Tucker has in his home more than 200 clocks, many of .Which are 200 years old or over, not to mention watches which are quite as old. Mr. Tucker has never had his collection of clocks, spectacles, vases and busts assesaed ·and therefore does not know its value, One of his vases was .rescued from the Emperor's palace in Tientsen during the Bo:icer Rebellion of 1900.

To the Editor: Not long ago as I was reading one of the current magazines, I came across an article a.bout a high school course in "masculine poise and gallantry." This course iS called "Everyday Living," and is taught at the Commercial high school in Atlanta, Ga. I think such a course would be wonderful and t hat some special class of this kind should be held here in L incoln high. I feel that such .a class should be held, not only for boys, but also for girls; They do have clubs where they ca.n learn such things, but I think a school course would be good for every boy and girl in high school. -A J unior.

Mr. Tucker's oldest clock has iri place of a spring (w.h ich was not used at that time) a string of cat-gut. It was made in Parle in 17.16, has an alarm, and still keeps time. Tucker came across, at one time, a clock which was rescued from the Chicago Chamber of Com· merce building in the wake of the great Chicago Fire of 1872. The insides of most of t he old clocks were ma.de of wood while the outsides were of elaborately carved gold or Italian marble, considered the best marble in the world. Among his watches was one which played a tune on the hour and struck one on the quarter hours. He has another watch carved from a piece of gold, a really big tiling made in. England.

To the Editor: The other evening after· •chool I paused in a restroom to put on my coat, placing beside me on on the edge of a wastepaper basket my stack of books and purse. Some five minutes later I was on my way home about a block from the school building. Slid· denly I missed my purse which contailied seventy-five cents and ilome other valuable objects. I :i:e· membered that I had ha.d it last in the restroom. It had probably slipped from my books in there. For a moment I wondered whether it would be of any .u se to return to look for it. I re· called the "Watch Your Purse" signs and decided someone had surely "picked it up" by now. However I did return to the restroom, although very certain the purse would be gone. But it was t here! Some honest girl had picked it up and placed it on the top of a paper towel container. Although I don't and never will know whom to thank, I hope my siticere thanks will reach that · honest girl through this letter. -Hope Kurtzer.

Court Establishes New Method to Cure Young Speedsters, Reckless Drivers The court of common pleas in Akron, Ohio, . heacj.ed by Judge Oscar Hunsicker, has found a way to cure young . speedsters and reckless drivers, according to a recent newspaper: In the judge's opinion a fine is punishing the parents, not the young driver, and . a jail sentence isn't good for the boy. This _little plan of Mr. Hunsicker has tieen used successfully in most cases for the past eight years. After taking the youngster's li· cense from him, the court says that he can have it back immedi~... ately when he raises his grades in school. For the judge has found that most of the speeders are merely driving fut to show-off. They have failed to gain prestige
in school, so they try t o get It In some other way. U the student gets on the honor roli he 11 given ba.ck his driver's license. "And strangely enough, they like this new way of sh0wing off as well as they liked the old way. They come back to me sometimes, a bit shamefaced but smiling, and say they are getting quite a kick out of being star debat ers or -star history students." Not once during the past eight years has one of his charges been jailed. Thel!'e were two youngsters, a boy and a girl, who had each. killed a person in traffic. They are both on. probation and forbidden to drive for five years. Never has a charge of drunken driving been brought in against a boy or girl under ~ighteen.
Prominent Conservationist Stress'es Need For Scientific Snil Conservation Methods Ji the present rate of soil ero· sion was allowed to continue, in 35 to 40 years there would not be enough productive !arid to produce food and essentials for the American people, was the warning of Harold Engstrom, State Soil Conservation Service Co-ordinator for Nebraska. Mr. Engstrom, formerly a civil engineer, took a · post graduate course a.t the University of Nebraska. He. rui.s been connected with the government for about four years. "Erosion has already t aken over 200,000,000 acres of land arid is now ta.king land at the rate of 200 forty acre farms a day," said Mr. Engstrom, adc).ing, "the rate of erosion increases with time. Wat er erosion is the chief problem of Nebraska at the present time." There is also much wind erosion in the western half of the state. Erosion is overcome by planting certain crops in strips, cultivating around hills instead of up and down, terracing, planting crops to hold the soil, and planting shelter belts. The shelt.er belt,. under the supe9'ision of the forest service, in North Central Nebraska aven1.ges about seven r ows in width and in about 300 miles in total length. Is purpose is to a.et a.s a wind break and stop heavy wind ex-
plained Mr. Engstrom. Trees, usually conifers, are planted in the center with shrubs on either side. "There is always an opportunity for trained men to qualify for· position in the service," declated Mr. Engstrom. "The CCC is co-operating with t he Soil Conservation Service to put _on demonstration projects. Some of the larger projects are in Boone, Ott, and Doi.tglas counties. There are over 21 c8.m.p demonstration projects .in all. University of Nebraska juniors or seniors who ate majoring in agriculture may apply for work in these camp to give them experi· ence." "Farmers who are .troubled with .e rosion should solicit the aid of the Soil Conservation Service to obtain expert advice so thl!y can revise their farm · methods," declared Mr. E ngstrom. Erosion can be cured, but the cure must come before the erosion dest roys all the ,Ia.rid by depositing sand and gravel on the good soil and washing away the rest. Governmnt-built dams a.re soon filled up with gravel if precautiona 11-l'e not taken. Soil conservation service has now been e11t$blished pel.'Illa.nently 8.nd knowledge Of it is spreading among the farmers. Many rural schools are now taking up courses bi conservation.

Round Table Hears Tall~ Luucille Hellmers Tells Of Hawaii; Nominations Taken for Officers "Hawaii ls the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored In any ocean," said Mrs. Lucille Hellmers, who lived there .for one year, quoting Marl!: Twain to describe the islands about Which she spoke at the Round Table meeting Thursday. Before startilig her talk, she ah.owed the club a number of articles from Hawaii, a pair of exquisite hand-carved book ends made of Koa wood, candle holders, an oriental costume consisting of a gayly colored kimona of. silk, a fitted jacket also of silk, clattering .stilted shoes, white tabis which looks like mittens for the feet and a dainty parasol used for pr-. tection from the "liquid sunshine," the name given to their slight drizzles so that tourists will not . be discouraged by the thought of rain. A light cover made of fibre painted with dye, a piece of bleached ~oral, a necklace and purse of seeds and several other trinkets were passed around for the members to see. Mrs. Hellmers told how the barren islands, formed · by volcanoes rising out of the sea, became settled. Natives from Samoa traveled thousands of iniles over the ocean in fragile canoes, guided by the stars. She told of the many legends circulated about Pele, their Goddess of Fire and the Volcanoes. She traced the history of the islands through the unification under K~mehameha and their• years as ·a monarchy, the time when they became United States territory. :Nominations were made for next years officers. .T he Roi.Ind Table picnic will be held Thursday, May 18, at Antelope park and the nominees will be voted on.

The speaker eaid that a perlOll should find out first if he can. do a job and not go into a field just becati'se someone else was successful in it. Due to the busiriess con• ditions, good men are much more in den:iand than ever before. "A good man gets results," he said by way of explanation.

Track, Tennis And Golf In State Meets
Coach John 'CY' Yordy's Track SPORTS Team Judged Strongest Squad CHATTER In State; U. Of N. Is Host .Howard Debus Strong Point on Track Team; Yordy's Gang Has Not Lost a Complete Meet One of the biggest sports events on the calendar and attracting a great number of schools .is the state track meet to be held at Memorial stadium . this Friday and Saturday. The competition will be very keen this year,· Lincoln high holding the spotlight as class A favorite. Not too much may be banked on, however as Scottsbluff, Omaha Central and Omaha Tech are all first class teams and will · be making a very determined· bid for the state crown. Perhaps the top .attraction of a meet full of ,stars is Howard Debus, who is expected to crack the standing discus record. Debus is also entered in the shot, javelin and· pole-vault and should place near the top in each of these events. Another record expected to fall is the state high-jump mark, · ;i.nd this time the one to be watched is a class B athlete from Gothenburg, McAfferty. The state meet is an annual affair and open to any school in the atate. Competition is in three classes, A, B, C.· Lincoln and Jackson are both in class A. To be in class A, the school must have a registration of more than 300 pupils. Other schools in.thiii group are Omaha Central, South, North and Tech; Ord, Scottsbluff and Hastings. Lincoln high placed fifth in the state meet last year but had not enjoyed as successful a season. The semi-finals of the meet are to be held ~iday afternoon and the finals on Saturday.
Lincoln Slides Past Plattsmouth Lincoln high's hltt!ng pitcher, Floyd Wilkinson, played- and won his·'Own ball game against Plattsmouth 3 to 2 last Wednesday. The giant moundsman, as against Creighton, had just one shaky inning. Ably surviving the second inning merry go-round of Plattsmouth, Floyd finished the game· in his usual dependable manner. Rival pitcher, John Jacobs, turned in a similar performance for Coach Byron Hoffman's. visitors. Both pitchers looked _better than their team mates, whose support was anything but air tight. Joe "cat walk" O'Connor and Floyd "winsome" Wilkinson saved Lincoln's cause with their hitting. Joe O'Connor, making his second appearance in "Truck" William's position at second, handled his territory in a well liked manner.

Lincoln will meet Gretna in the first round of the state baseball tournament at the university diamond at 2 p. m. tomorrow. Play begins at 9:00 o'clock Thursday morning and will continue through Friday and Saturday. There are twenty-six teams entered in the tourney which will necessitate the use of the Muny diamonds on Jfriday as well as the new university diamonds. Gretna is one of the strongest small town teams in the state of Nebraska. It competes against some of the best teaillf in the state and has an impressi-'e record for the season. Their feature player is a fast ball pitcher that among other achievements has a no-hit no-run game to his credit this season. Although Coach Mueller has an unusually impressive pitching staff the Red and Black is not considered a pre-tourney favorite because of the teams hitt).ng weakness. Lincoln has a record of six wins, three losses and one tie for the season thus far. Mark Sheffert, who has a most impressive record for the season, will be on the mound for the Links, with Charles Wheeler behind the plate. If Lincoln is victorious Thursday, it will play again Friday morning. The· finals will be held Saturday afternoon on the university field. Ten teams will be eliminated Thursday and the remaining sixteen teams will be placed on a bracket to determine who will play Friday.

a_nd Thursday classes. About , 30 girls from Havelock use the ·pool Wednesdays after school, while 15 from College View use the pool on Mondays. Archery club girls shot exceptionally well Wednesday night. Annajean Ray has the high score for bull's eye. Girls chosen to accompany Miss Grace Morgan and Miss Lillian Story to Nebraska City for the School of the Blind Play Day were Elizabeth Daniels, Mary Jane Trumble and Evangeline Kubik. Little fishies, not the itty bitty fithies but the blue fish tags worn but the girls last week were in observance · of health week. Only girls that could pass the deep water test received them, On the tags were printed "I swim for health." The deep water test consists of jumping off the diving board feet first, leveling off and swimming to the pool's edge and jumping off the edge of the pool at the deep end feet first, leveling off and swimming the length of the pool. Because fish swallowing is the fad now, the girls were warned not to swallow the fish but to ·wear them as tags. All interested in playing in the girls tournament see Miss Story at once.

William Jennings, a junior, ancl one of the sparkplugs of the Links baseball team, will probably get a ahot_ at pitching for the Lincoln Blues this summer. ''Willy" played outfield in 1937 and was chosen an all state at this particular position. Last· year he played first base and made all state. If Willy makes all state at pitching it will be the first time in history for three positions. to be covered so well by one player.
The golf team, while playing with -Grand Island a week ago Tuesday, was compelled to cut a few snakes in two. Don Tucker saw a snake coming from a hole, so with a nice smooth swing, he cut it in .two with a- club. About that time, Bernie Mortensen also took a swing at another and made a hit. The golfers.. were surely wasting strokes on snakes in the rough. A sporting enthusiast sends in a comment, saying: "Some are wondering .if the boast, 'a sport for every student,' isn't a bit exaggerated. It has been stated that there are 25 baseballers, about 50 trackmen, around 35 tennis aspirants, about· 40 soft ball contestants, and 29 golfers, making a total of about 180. Since there are abou,t 1,500 boys in school, the ratio of those competing in extra curricular sports is small. Perhaps the statement could be amended to say, "a sport for one out of ev~ry eight students." The writer evidently forgets. the after sChool sports will take. in everyone who wishes to enter and that the statement applies to the year's program, not just spring sports. -Sports Editor. · Our boys lost the track meet last Tuesday to Havelock because of the twci girls that were there. The mile was won by a Havelock boy whose girl was · there rooting for him all the way. Now if some of our Lincoln girls (or boys) would turn out to the meet, it would give the boys in the meet a little better support. Like the old proverb, ~·A rolling stone gathers no moss." Let's let the stone be the boys on the track team and the moss the crowd, but let's .not stick up to the old proverb, let's give the boy(! a .little better support and change it to this, "The rolling stone of L. H_ S. gathers the boys and girls . of Lincoln high."

In recognition of its outstanding work, Lincoln h igh's debate team has a special invitation to enter the national tournament sponsored by the National Forensic league at H ollywood; California in June.

If any of the eight students are una ble to take a dvantag e of this opportunity, John Jay will go to the Deep Springs s chool. John Jay was questioned by Dean Typton, who questioned hundreds of boys, on what course he was interested in, wha t his poli· tical opinions were; a nd then gave him an application to fill out. John chose law. The scholars hip includes three years at Deep Springs, which is a sort of prep school, three more years in any eastern college, (John J ay chose Harvard) and fina lly some post -graduate w ork in any colleg e in t he world.
Capitol Beach Receives Olympic Victors; Gay, Huge Crowd Attends Senior Picnic Ar rayed in gayly colored culottes slacks, shirts and what-not 260 seniors presented a br ight con· tra st to the dreary clouded sky at Ca pital Beach, Frida y- the occa· sion being the senior picnic. Remn ants of t he "war paint" applied in the morning for the Olympics still remained on many a school girl's complex ion. A few t orn pants were silent evidence to a victorious- bu t hectic- morning of proviJ!g their s uperior ity over the rest of the school. But if the m orning ritual was a more· or-less serious affair, certainly the senior picnic in the afternoon was in lighter vein. Arriving by bus, in cars or on " bikes," piCnickers were not slow t o take advanta ge of the ha lf· p rices on all r ides a nd funhouses. For a few hours . t he seniors re· v erted t o childhood a nd shouts of g lee and feminin e screa ms of frig ht echoed and r e· echoed - now from the huge slide in "Dinty Moore," now from t he whirling

Many graduates of the Tuesd ay nigh t traf fic school tried in vain to prove their s afe-driving skill w hile driving the "Dodgem" cars. The Ferris wheel a nd mer ry-goround, standbyes of any amuse· ment park, were kept continually busy. The s hooting gallery found not only many sport-minded sen · iors a t ha nd, but also the principal himself. The featur e of the day was the box lunch and lemonade. The long line that formed, eagerly awaiting the tasty s and~ wiches, potato s alad, cookies, ice cream and apple, r eminded one ·of a hungry breadline in a m etropoli· t a n city. It was indeed a propos that the senior class president surreptitiously ended the festivities of the day by taking with him the last remaining lunch box- just fo r old time's sak e.

Guinea Pigs Are · Used To Demonstrate Law Darrell Devoe effectively demonstrated the coat-colors inherited by g uinea pigs when he broug ht a pair to Miss Lucy Geiger's third period zoology class. The animals gain their reces· sive white and dominate black coats by inheritance according to Mendel's law. . The Class is studying h eredity · and ·• many characteristics such a s colorblindness and baldness are known t o be inherited in a set pattern. The offspring of 'the r ecessive white and dominate black g uinea pigs are pure black. These anim als are called hybrid black · as the r ecessive white is a lso inherited. Hybrid black offspring may often have traces of recessive white in the same ·ma nner. White guinea pigs m ay be born of black p arents. and one out of every fou r · animals us ually is white.

It Is Privilege and Duty Of All Pupils.to Vote Days have rolled by until it is again time to elect new me:m bers to the student council. The nominating· of the candidates has already begun, . and perhaps many of you have se~ lected your candidate. · Voting is much more serious than manypeople take it, because those who don't v?te are never represented. This is the prepani.t10n for being a good citizen, because a good citizen always takes part in voting. Some just go to vote without hardly knowing who the candidates are, others vote for a . candidate be· cause they know him (or think they know him) personally and there are the few "."h_o do know for whom and why they are votmg. Knowing a candidate is not merely having an acquaintance with him, but understand-· ing his ·ideas and learning ·his background. There are several <JU-'stJ<?.llS to ask y()urself. ... ;.;.,; ; e gomg .fo ·vote. ls he prepared to hold t.he office 1 What is his poliey? Is he honest? Above all, does he represent you 1 It is entirely up to you to find these things out fo1· yourself. The voter is the only one that takes the advantages given to him by democracy. The only one that knows !or whom and why he's voting is a true citizen. The failure to vote properly is the best of all ways ·to cheat yourself.

~'Beware
of Big Bad Men,'' Is Advice To Girls of ·Yore in Ancient Article "Advfoe to young ladies" has · been the subject of many, well~ meaning. authors for a good ma ny years. Girls of t oday are ·un· doubtedly familiar wit~ the ·pres· eht day. articles, but 'what were they ·like a few decades ago? Recently an article. appeared in a current magazine which gave sever al pointed . (and amusing,, t o us ) hints concer nhlg the conduct of a young lady. The "advice" ran something like this: Young ladles of breedjng a re strongly a dVi.!led against f orming acquaint· ances. w itl;l the other sex without extreme caution. Beware of the wolves in sheep's clothing tha t appear at even the most g enteel ,!lo· cial gatherings. Second, entertain no !ea rs a bout da ncing with t he other young man when your beau is in the rooni. Dancing perpetually with 'only yout chosen may excite criticism.
Third, we cannot lend a ny count enance t o such glaring impro· pr iety as try ing to "catch the gentlema n's a ttention !" It is his duty to catch ,yours; so preser ve your dignity' and the decor um due your sex, position S:nd the customar y usages of t he social code. Fourth, put a bridle on your· impetuous disposition ·and t hink as well as a ct with maidenly discretion. Remember that t he race not a lways to. the swift, and fast girls· are as liable to ruin as fast boys. F ifth, drinking vinegar ·to sub· due a tendency t o embon point is not a dvised. It p rovokes an im• paired digestion, a · g eneral de· bility and a n unpleasantly sus· picious red nose. Six, the habit of blushing is na• tural to young la dies and a very g'rli.Ceful habit it is, too. Tme g en· tle~en are moved to chivalr ic deeds by its charm and. mC;3t men regret t hat is passes so suddenly after young womeri. have been ac•

Dr. F. B. Spieler Feels Medicine Is Field Only for Those Who Place It First "If a person is not interested .in. medi.cine to the extent tha t all else, work, pJay, and even sleep and food, is secondar y, the11 he s hould never attemp t t o follow this profession," Dr. F . R Spieler, '29, youngest physician on the Lin coln ' clinic's staff, recently stated in a n inter view. He decided upon his life's wor k as a result of studies t aken here in Lincolri high . school, na mely· zoolo/n', p hysiologY., botany, .and chemistry and h,e entered t he sc.hool o_f medici~e a t the Univer· sity of Nebraska upon his gra duation. Aft er four years here, he went t o. Omaha· t o finish his training. . During h,is school days there he washed dishes to belp with expenses, sometimes not eating untH late. Upon h is g raduation from the university he interned for a year in· Wich.lta, Kas., at the Wesley hospital.. He ·r eturned to Lincoln 'to practice upon the completion of hi~

When asked what t O' him had be~ h il! rirost interest ing ex perience be r.ei>lied 'that he could riot na m:e the most t hrilling , but t hat one of 'the th ings he will alwa ys ha:ye ple.a:mnt mem orii::s ot is the Boy Scout ja mbor ee ·in Washington, D~ C., in the. summer of 1937
where he attended the scouts in the Cornhusker council group. He a nd two other. doctors had the medical care of 1,300 boys in the mid-sta.tes district. As t he doctor finiShed telling of his 11couting days, the phone's sharp ri.n ging was heard again. The doctor was wanted. His voice could be ·heard in short, clipped sentences speaking into the mout hpiece. In a few minutes he was back, smiling apologetically, murmuring something about a call he had t o make. As he reached f or h is hat, he SJ>Qke . again. "A doctor's life is -fun of int err uptions, · during rrieitls, a t·-parties, even in theaters. It is a life .that unless you are willing t o be constantly on call, you should never ·a ttempt. That is my advice t o all high school students with medicaJ a!!pirations. If you want a sa fe, s;iJle· life, you had· better look toward · other fields." With t hese words, Dr. .~~elEl)r was out of the door a nd i~~.o . his' car. almost before t he screen door sla mmed shut. The house settled once more into its a ccustomed stillness, except f~r the occa~ional tinkle .of t he 'phone with the same endless inqui ries, "Is Dr . Spieler there?"

Eighth, should a gentleman approach when you and a Young a c· quainta nce have selected a qiuel s pot for an afternoon of poetry, reading .or , other delightfu,l pm.~iut, be warned of acknowledging his presence ! It is very likely that he is only in search of prey.

And so the "advice to young ladies" goes, but in spite of the·. arnusenient .it affords, there can be sorrie advice detected which is still as good in this modern day as it was 1n g randma's time.

Italians Care for La·wns; Why Can't We Do So? If anyo1ie told you that the ·Italian fas· cists have accomplished anything more .t han we have here in .America you would probably laugh in his face. Yet such a situation is said itctually t.o exist ! The Italians liave acquired the strange '(to us) habit of keeping the lawns and walks . of their municipal buildings free from trash, papers; etc. Of course it took some time . for them to understand the new idea and also a little "persuasi-On" in the manner of strict laws and fines. Yet the fact remains that they have this habit and the fact also stands that we in Lincoln high don't seem to· catch on. Of course we have no heavy fines or laws imposed on us, but that shouldn't be necessary. We say that we are proud of our school and that we can be far more proud of our buildings than the people of other cotmtries. Yet too often we don't show this pride at all. With a little cooperation and thought we can make our school one of the real·" Clean Spots" of Lincoln. .After &.11, It isn 't any rn.ore work to drop a candy wrapper in a waste 'basket than on the ground and just think of improvement of the appearance of onr school that will result.

After witnessing a talented Lincoln high track team sweep hs way to a state track team sweep its way to a state track championship one ponders on the· support · given· the team by our schoQl. It seems that many pupils have the mistaken idea that since there is no entry charge to track meets, they are not worth attending. .Any track fan that has thrilled to the sight of a school mate skim·ming over the high or low hurdles, burning up the track in dashes, soaring over the bar in the pole.vault or high jump, or the courage and grit displayed in the gruelling distance runs will swear to the validity of the assumption. . The fact that this is a great sport is re· alized when one stops to think and realizes that it is actually the oldest sport in existence, dating 'way back to the Greeks and their Olympics.. Here in .Amer.iea: we have the .A. A. U. meets, Drake relays and many others. This may not seem to have a lot of connection with us, but the Debuses, I<'ranciscos, and other promising stars performing under our very noses. may someday be ga.ining :world-wide recognition in their various events.

Education Is Hard to. Obtain in Japan Emphatically States Bryan Yamashita
G.A.A. Backs First
To obtain an education in Japan is a very difficult task, according to Bryan Yamashita, wbo visited Lincoln high last week. Mr. Yamashita has been visiting the United States for about ten months, and, if possible, he ~lans to live in this country. Mr. Yamashita lived in Linc0 ln, Nebraska, ·f orty yeart:1 ago where he stayed at the William Jennings Bryan h6me for five and one-half· years while attending university. Since that timt. he has visited this . country several times. In an interview, Mr. Yamashita told of the differences in schools in this country and the schools of Japan. In Japan, children are started to school at .the age of seven and attend grammar school until the age of thirteen. At thirteeh they .start to what they call their high school. During the remainder of their school career the boys and girls are separated. From high school th.e boys' go to preparatory school .for two and one-half years, while the girls simply go· to college or university. While the schools in our country are supported by taxation; pupils in Japan . are compelled to pay a tuition $2.50 per month. Their school year runs 11 months, then there is two months vacation, and the school year reconvenes. "Studies are so hard in Japan that one' may see how well educated the Japanese people are," remarked.. Mr. Yamashita. A school day in Japan is from six to eight hours long and a great share of the time is spent studying English. On this recent return to the
United States, Mr. Yamashita brought his daughter, Miss Fusha Yamashita, who was educated in a missionary school in C~ada. "I enjoy Lincoln very much and if my father finds it possible_ to stay in this country I shall be taking school work jn your high school and university,." explained Fusha. Mr. Yamashita's purpol!ei for bringing his da.ughter back to t~is country was tha.t people might learn to know her because she is one who will carry on the Bryan tradition handed down by her father. These visitors made a tour of the school. In the course of the tour Mr. Yamashita visit ed Miss Emma Beekman's fifth period history class and gave a very short talk on how he came to know William Jennings Bryan. Miss Fusha was very much interested in the home economies department ·and a.l so the hygiene cla!!ses. While visiting Miss Murray's.fifth period hygiene class Fusha was silown several demonstrations. She also answered qu.e stions asked by the girls about her native dress; She ga;ve a demonstration on how s.he handles the enormous but beautiful sash, she wears about her waist. Having toured the s.c hool Mr. Yamashita remarked with gre·a t enthusiasm, "It is indeed an honor and an undying pleasure to be able to go to such a school as this, or to live in a country . Where such schools exist. Young people Of the United Sta,i:es should feel proud of the educational system in this_ country."

Playday in Years At Lincoln High First P lay day held in several years opened Saturday afternoon !it 2 o'Clock in the Lincoln high school auditorium where g irls from seven Lincoln sehior and . junior high .schols gathered with their physical education instructors to participate in an afternoon of sports under the direction of the .G. A. A; which sponsored the event. Preceeding the active sports was a demonstration of modern dancing given by the. Orchesis dance club of the University of Nebraska. Startin~ first with the fundamentals of modern dancing, the club demonstrated -these is rhythm, body movements, and focus and direction, later · combining these into darices representing everyday dramas. "Classroom" . anl "Chocolate" were two which proved such dancing need not be serious. Advanced pupils presented a suit e of Neg_ro dances, one girl singing· her own accompaniment to ·her dance based on 'Deep River.'' Miss Shirley Bennett was in charge of the program and four former Lincoln high school students, Betty Groth, Betty Mueller, Lucille Bears and Bessie Grossman, participated. After a word of welcome from the president of the · G.

Bryce Alberty Displays Use ofPolaroid In.Physics With .Homem(lde Slides Bryce Alberty, j\mior, gave demonstrations on the uses .of Polaroid in Miss Edna Bryan's physics 1 and 2 classes Wednesday; May 10. Bryce made his own slides and has shown them before the Junior Nebraska Tcademy of Science. Polaroid is a thin transparent film that combs.out and re-ar· ranges the vibrations of the light that passes through it, it ls a flexible cellulosic sheet in which are. embodied some thousand bU· lion crystals per squ11-re inch, all lying parallel. "Over 800 uses of Polaroid are now known and the surface has just been scratched. One of the most important uses in the future will be the eliminatiol'l. of auto headlight glare. It has been found that ·any car driven over 35 miles an hour at night ls unsafe. About twenty thousand of the lives lost each year are due entirely or in part to headlight ·glares. The use of Polaroid make it possible to increase the power of headlights without glare," state Bryce. Sunglasses making use of Polaroid are already in use. They reduce the over-all brightness of the view. They also absorb a. part of cer tain colors and some of them also block the invisible ultra-violet. Polaroid is also used in store window-glass, lamps and

cameras a~e beginning to employ this newcomer. Polaroid . COl?rS are striking by different · from any c~iors now in · ccintmercial use. They are like c.o lors that appear in .soap bubbles and wings of b~tterflies-brillian·t but harmonious in all combinations. Their beauty, simplicity, permanence, and above all their startling q~ality ·of change indi~ cate that they will · find an im.p ortant place in advertising display. The firial step tO the third dimension or the impression of depth, roundness and realness of things fooked at is made possible by Polaroid. This .will make movies seem more real. The one thing that has been lacking ls the abliity to reproduce on U1e sere~ wtiat the human eye picks up during every minute of normal life outside tlie theater: This is another important use of Polaroid. Alberty showed. slides o_f t.h e natural crystals and fibres ,in brilliant colors against a dark back~ ground ,also the different thit:kneSl!es of cellophane that show the striking interference of colors between Polaroid discs. "Polarojd now costs $25,00 per square foot. The future ot it is unpredictable," concluded Bryce.

English 8 Classes Have News Test Current affairs tests replaced the biggest news story of the w eek contest in the English 8 classes last week. The questions, compiled by Dr. Alvin C. Eurich, and printed by Time, the weekly newsmagazine, concerned irorld af· fairs. Bernice Allen, Roy Erickson, Betty Westberg and Howard Shirley had highest scores in period three. -Top scores in fourth period were Torn Griswold, Edith Schuchman, Betty MacMillan and Wayne Ringstmeyer. Because t he weekly contest was held to keep student s reading t h e papers, this test check!!d how JHUCh of it was. retained in .the memory of the students.
Working Cameras Discussion Topic How · to operate cameras was the m3.in discussion· at the cam.era club's fast meeting for t)le semester, Monday. Many pupils who were n ot camera cltib , mem~ bers came to find out )low to im~ prove their phot ographic technique. R obert Marcotte explained the use of portrait lenses and showed how some cameras work with an extra lense. in front ;.vhi.ch is pushed aside for photographing subjects from . five to ten feet. C. o.

George Werner explained how to · make time exposu res, and the group. discussed t he length , of ex.posure under vario.u s conditions. A discussion o,f the relative speed a n d quality of · different k inds of films followed. Early in th.e school yea~ next fall the camera club plans to spcmsor a picture contest <:if some sort, and the . pres ident s uggEJl!!ted to the group that they take it into consider ation during the summer vacation.

Plans for the summer are being made by football lettermen in order that they may keep in shape. William Jennings has decided to play Legion baseball and work on lawns. Howard Debus will go on a bread route with his uncle. Henry Riechel and Melvyn Johnson plan to work at a dairy. Harvey Lauer will play Legion ball and wor.k on a farm. Lester Buckley plans on playing Legion ball. The basketball players returning next season are also hoping to keep in trim this summer. These include Bob Weigent and "Step" Jones w ho will play Legion baseball and Neuman Buckley and Bill Robinson who have decided to do odd jobbing around Lincoln a nd vicinity. · The Creighton Prep high school baseball team that defeated Lincoln high three times this season is made up a lmost entirely of the Mc~ Divit's legion t~am . Two years ago they were ranked as the third best legion t eam in the nation. "Bud" Blessir, star pitcher, however, is playing B a n Johnson with Fairbur y. It is very likely if Bud ha d not broken h is arm wrestling on the train to N ew Orleans they might have been world champions in legion ball. Keith F easter, '37, will play with the Fairbury Ban Johnson le:ague ball club this summer. Keit h was a catcher last y ear for Marysville, K a nsas, a nd Bob _Robinson's. He was one of the best hitters in the cit y league last year, a nd was a. three y ear letterman in baseball in L incoln high.

Norma Carpenter Speaks to Class "Anyone wishing a job badly enough can secure one," said Miss Norma Carpenter, assistant in the personnel department of Miller and Paine, to Mrs. Alberta Anderson's period three girls personality class. Miss Carpenter spoke to the class on May 16 on securing a position. Miss Carpenter went on to say that if finding a position seems impossible one should organize or create a job for one's self. She gave as an illustration the costume jewelry made of wood which is so popular at the present time. A Kansas woman, married and with children to support, could find no job. From wood found in her own yard she began carving jewelry-jewelry which today is for sale in many of the larger depart~ .ment stores. Miss Carpenter cautioned the girls about being backward when applying for work. An employer, she said, likes force, character and poise and is usually glad to see a second time one possessing these traits.

Miss Bonnell Exhibits Iris Instructor Shows 120 From 268 Varieties Of Own Flowers In the annual Flower show held at' the agricultural college, Saturday and Sunday Miss Valeria Bonnell, exhibited 120 of the 268 varieties of iris in her garden. Miss Bonnell did not enter the show for competition, but had a table of her own. One iris, which she produced herself and is very proud of, is the "Jonathan," which she named after the Jonathan apple because of its rich red color. "You never can tell what you're going to . get," says Miss Bonnell. "You can cross two flowers of pink color and their off-spring may be white, pink or even other colors, depending on the ancestry of the variety used. The specie I am most interested in this year is the Ormohr, off-spring of the William. Mohr, which is not a purely bearded iris, a nd which seldom produces seed. There are only a few places in the United States where they may be secured." "Raising flowers is one of the nicest hobbies a person who is confined indoors most of the day can have," declared Miss Bonnell.

Morrison \o End Picture Taking C, 0. Morrison is now taking, in the electricity shop, the last of t he identification pictures for Lincoln high newcomers. Since so many pictures are taken, some are spoiled or lost. Consequently many juniors w ho have had .their pictures taken must repeat the process. Sufficient light for picture taking is secured by the use of a voltage regulation transformer, similar to the type used in rural electrification projects, which de· livers 190 volts to a 115 volt light bulb.

Math Classes Enter Debate Pupils Argue Question Of Installment Buying As Sound Practice Mathematicians entered t he field of debate a nd argumentation, Friday, abttling p or and con the quest ion, "Resolved: taht installment buying should be abolished. These balances of figures who becam e exponents of f9rensics for a time, were members of Miss R uth N . H alls' first and third period secondary mathematics 1 classes. These debates were the final events in the unit of study on interest rates, and were, according to Miss Hall, given so that pupils could be made to see easier and know better the good and bad points of installmen t buying. One pupils found that his bicycle bought on the installment plan cost him 185 percent instead of 100 percent . Many other examp les were taken from true experiences. The first period was entirely given. JlY!U:. t.o the. _QJ1&in£" debat e in which the afftrn:iati;e 11peak-ers, Marian McCracken, Dolores Christensen a nd ' Leo Rooney, convinced the judges, Alice Burnett, Saul Rosenfeld and E ugene Capley, that installment buying should be abolished, by outspeaking t he negative debaters, Stella Specht, Bill Smith and John Schabauer. However the question remains unsolved because in the third period deba te the negative speak ers triumphed. They were Clay Hanners, Marilyn Hoyt and Alice Burnett, opposing Eugene Capley, Robert Rar din, and . Saul Rosenfeld. Judges were Leo Rooney, Stella Specht and John Schwabauer.

Statistics Prove L.H.S. Graduates Are Scholarly Seniors at U. of~ A partial survey of the recognition received by Lincoln high school graduates at the University of Nebraska honors convocation this spring shows that 15 of 57 universily seniors recognized for superior scholarship are Lincoln high school graduates. This is 115 percent of the number Lin· coin high should expect on the basis of proportional membership in the class. Including both high and superior scholarship, 35 of the 162 re· ceiving honors are Lincoln high school graduates, which number is 108 percent of normal expectation. Six of the 27 new Sigma Xi's belonged to Lincoln high school, and 11 of the 36 P. B. K.'s are Lincoln high school graduates. In both cases the number from Lincoln high far exceeds the percentage of our membership in the university, Lin co 1 n high sch ool P. B. K. exceeding expectation by over 92 percent. In other w ords, Lincoln high school received approximately t w i c e as many P. B. K .'s , as graduates from other 1chools.
More than 15 percent of this year's freshmen from Lincoln high school placed in the top 10 percent list for all colleges a t the university. The number of regents' s~holar ships and alternates was materially reduced t his year by fixing an arbitrary number which limited schools the size of Lincoln high school to 7 alternates. These 7 all ranked in the top 16 of the more than 200 honorable mention certificates given in the .state. Thirty-seven pupils would have qualified for alternates under the system used previous to this year. A previous study made of the classification of Lincoln high school students in freshman English at the university shows that only 5 percent of Lincoln high school pupils were placed in English zero, and that without exception these people were very inferior pupils in thefr high school English. More than half of the p upils were in regular freshman English, and only one failure was recorded where the pupi.I had done average high school work in Eng-
lish. ·More than one-third of all freshmen were put in advanced English courses, and over 97 percent of these people passed the advanced courses successfully. The record of Lincoln high school gradua tes in higher institu· tions ot her than the Universit y of Nebraska shows the same trend. Records have been r eceived on the standings of 33 graduates who are now in other institutions from Stanford on the west coast t o Amherst, Wellesley, Dartmouth, on the east, including records made in West Point and Annapolis. These reports show that 22 of the 33 have superior ratin gs in the -college t hey are attending. Fifteen percent are doing st andard, satisfactory work, and 18 percent work below that of the average student in the college concerned. It is interesting to note t h at, with one exception, all students who rated superior in college also rated superior in high school, the one exception rating average in high school, and that no pupil who infe rior in college work rated :superior in high school.

Work Harder to Overcome Summer·Heat Restlessness About this time every year there is a noticeable let-up in student concentration and seriousness. It is due mostly to the anythingbut-stimulating weather and the nearness of vacation. This relaxation makes it difficult fol' teachers to teach their lessons successfully and unduly tries their patience. The situation adversely affects the pupils since their full attention and industry is needed to pass through the final week oE examinations. It. seems unfortunate that the semester examinations should come either with the dreamily comfortable or the boilingly hot uncomfortable weather. Nevertheless if stu· dents .will work hard and not let this relaxatiOn set in, time will pass quicker, the. examinations will be over, the semester will end and everyone will be happy, inCluding the teachers.
Future University Students Should Have Definite Goal
'
" WEDNESDAY,. MAY ·2~, "1939
THE ADVOCATE.
"Should I attend university? ' ' This is probably one of the foremost questions in the minds of senior students at this time of the year. If a student expects to profit bi attending university he must have in mind exactly what he expects to take and do there. He mu~t not approach university with the idea that it is an institution that will pave for him the way toward social success. One who is unable to blame himself for his own failures and to take cl'itici8m ever hope to make a success of university. One who plans to attend college or university must have before him a worthwhile . goal to work toward-a goal that will inspire and bring forth his best spiritual, mental, and physical powers.

Within the past year, the L club of Lincoln high has taken upon itself to wage an unrelenting war against any letter sweater other than the L sweater being worn about the halls or grounds of the school. Strangest of all is their objection to Y. M. 0. A. athletic letters. An announcement to the student body of the basis of this "Lincoln only policy" would be appreciated by many students. To the common scholar it seems that the school is big enough for ali sweaters, no more outsider's than there llre.

Since final exams are lurking behind the next few numbers on the calendar, this column in the interest of higher education, will end~avor to assist the students in passing · these tests. For grammar students ·: If the teacher asks you to name a collective noun-write "fly pape.e" on the test sheet. (Catch on 1 The flies all do ). For exams in math this question is probable-" What is the difference between a bum and a millionaire 1'' ~ The answer is simply, "One million dollars." These. questions, as wdl as the .answers, are guaranteed to be of no value whatsoever. Any teacher using the aforementioned ques- . tions is certainly lacking in gray matter (brains to you) . Any student using these answers is guarant eed a final grade of "seven," or lower. (Column editor knows from experience).

Dear .E ditor: I hate to bother you with the' same old story about what's wrong with how . this school il!I: run, but after an incident l o.b served from my first period · American history class seat I must surely protest. I had just looked up from the depths of t.he policies of the Whig ·party to peer straight into the in· telligent, Wistful brown .eyes of a magnificent .b lack and · white ter· rier.. He too was _interested in the political parties of 1848. Yet, alas, he became. frightened upon my dis. covering his presence and bounded thru the open door and down the hall. · Soon, hardly a minute later, that same dog came back to peek in at me. He wanted to know more of these Democrats and Whig& of 1848. Another minute and some monstrous bully of a boy had snared and ousted my friend from the building. Yet another minute and I could heai: the determined yapping of his disapproval from beneath the window. There in but five minutes I had witnessed a drama that made ~e burn. with disgust. In walks a perfectly presentable knowledge-hungry dog and what happens? They ostracize him. He's a taxpayer, isn't ·he ? Tax• payers are entitled to an education aren't they? W,hy must he be denied one because his name is "dog," not. "man." I protest in the name of equality, of right eousness, and of God's Will that all living things grow, not only in body but in ·mind. I pl'otest! ! LLOYD HELGESON.

Friml's 'Firefly' . Written on Advice Of Pu.pil's Father August 0 . Molzer, musician, and father . of Clarence Molzer, who last week won a "1" rating in the regional music contest, wa!i very well acquainted with .Rudolph Friml, in fact he. gave Friml the idea of incorporating his song11 in a light opera, that opera being "The Firefly" which was presented by the ,choir last week-end. In 1911 Friml and Molzer were two struggling musicians, Friml on piano and Molzer on the violin. They played recitals in and around Chicago and were very close•. rooming and Jiving with one an· other. Friml had written a group of songs which he wanted to use; but he could not get the money he thought they were worth. · About -1913 Molzer suggested he con• solidate them into a light opera. He did .thi~ had a story written for his songs and came forth with '.'The Firefly,'' which has proved to be a hit. · However, had it not been for Mr. Molzer, perhaps "The Firefly" would not have been given last week-end in the auditorium. Furthermore the hit songs might never have become famous, and the name of R.udolph Frlmi might never have been generally known.

Senior Girls Receive Hints On Vocations Miss Goldie Carter, Personnel Director For G.R. at Omaha, Is Assembly Speaker "What do you want to be doing ten years from now?" was the question Mias Goldie Carter, peraonnel director of .-the Girl Re•erves, answered, in ,h er discussion of how to get and keep a job, at .the senior girls· assembly Wednesday. Six points were given to take into consideration after leaving school and. when seeking a job. Know yourself. By this Is meant that each girl should know her mental capacity, the things she does best, her emotional character• -!sties and her relationship with other people. Know occupations. There are at le.ast 85,000 ways a person can make a living, so surely one of these jobs will fit. Study your chosen vocation. Give· yourself time to grow mentally and physically. Learn the different qualifications needed for the occupation you wish to hold. Secure training. After leaving high s·chool, your career is just atarting. Make certain, preparation for the job is not too expen··sive. There is plenty of domestic work in waiting. Get t _h e job. Be sure in your own inirid whether or not it is your . proper field. Grow on your job. Be alert, give all you have to your job, so that you cannot help but enjoy the 'work. "Always,"· advised Miss Carter, ...be awake from your· neck up.". lmpOTtant tips both in applying for ' and keeping a job, once you have gotten it, are neat dress, good posture, a_ pleasant voice, personality and poise. Approxi~ mately 400 girls attended the assembly. Girl Reserve·s from four other schools were seated on the - stage. Miss Olivia Pound presided at the assembly, first introducing Miss Louise Lomax, secretary of Lincoln Girl Reserves, who in turn introduced the guest speaker.

"Styles ' started in many different ways," stated Mr. Magee. "For instance, the well known cuff on your pants was started in London. A fashionable dresser was caught in a rainstorm and turned up the bootom of his pants. People who were copying him thought it was a new style and dressed accordingly." In the absence of Don Labovitz Robert Ada~s took charge of the meeting. Tom Smith gave devotions.

Miss French was a member of the junior glee club, the advanced glee club, Orpheons, Mummers, and in the cast of "The Youngest ," "The Chocolate Soldier," and "Robin Hood" as well as "The Firefly." She joined a stock company when she was in high school and was excused from. school in the morning to attend rehearsals; and then played in the afternoon. She said Pierre Watkin had told her of a school, the American Academy, which was as good a school as possible. He said, how. ever that the best knowledge could be gained thru actual stage experience.

Ario Monroe, senior at the Un!~ versity of Nebraska, spoke on illustrations at the art club's last regular meeting of the semester, Thursday. Among the illustrations shown were some he is doing for a book about Vermont. He has worked on murals in the Student Union building and also helped prepare the huge 80 by 20 foot backdrop used for the military ball. Mr. Monroe came from Vermont. to study in Lincoln. Ario was more than pleased with training he got and stated that pupils are lucky to have such a fine school in their home city. He showed .the different methods that they are using at the university. They were oils, water colors, pen and ink, pencils. His ambition is mural paintings. He gave many interesting suggestions to Miss Wilson who plans to have a special mural painting class next semester. Miss Wilson hopes to have some selected students do murals VVd.11.::!J
French said some managers can tell just by listening to a person in regular conversation whether or not he is the type needed. "An actor must give an appearance of being natural," Miss French said, "but while he must not be too self-conscious he must be conscious of the way he moves and of the effect he wishes to obtain. After all an actor is good when you can't catch him at his job." Miss French wishes to continue her acting career and would like to have a part in a new play which is being written, but has not been sold yet. She believes that the type of parts Lynn Fontaine plays are the type for her. Miss French has no desire to go to Hollywood. "The Women" broke the record for the longest running play at the Forest theater in Philadelphia by playing eleven consecutive weeks. The record had previously been held by the play, "New Moon.''

Miss French said;,r"because there ate so few really good stock companies. A good plan for young aspirants would be to absorb all the good acting they possibly can, to work back stage and watch real actors. Today the acting field is crowded and even the stars have difficulties of one kind or another." All the preliminaries to acting such as voice, walking and stage crosses shC?uld be learned at first according to Miss French, However she thinks that having the director give you a little individual attention on these matters is better than going to _school to get them. Miss French told how she had seen the play "The Women" and spoke to Ben Boyer who was in charge. At the tryouts Miss French read the parts over and over again to allow the director to choose the person he wanted. She was cast in the play as the English governess and understudied the leading lady. Miss

Presenting scenes of "Le Voyage de Monsieuer Perrichon" from memory, in French, will be the task of pupils in Miss Annetta Sprung's French 4 classes during the last week of this semester. The pupils have chosen the scenes and characters they wish to portray and will present them with their own dramatic interpretation. Moving pictures were shown in Miss ·Mary Bardwell's botany class "About Bananas." These pictures showed the various stag-es of the bananas which takes twelve to fourteen months to grow. The The plant grows upside down. When the banana trees are full grown, and the bananas are ready to cut, the whole tree comes down. After the bunches of bananas are cut off, the tree dies and new trees are planted to replace the old. These banana trees are raised in Central America and are shipped to all parts of the world.

"We'll Fight! Poles to Nazis" headlined the story chosen by Betty June Matejka as the biggest and most important news of the past week. "I believe this to be the biggest story of the week," wrote Betty June, "because, for the first time Adolph Hitler has struck a stone wall. For the first time a country has dared to refuse his wishes. His next move in answer to Poland's brave and courageous 'no' will probably soon appear. What will it be? It seems from all reports that Fuehrer Hit ler does not want war just now-but perhaps Poland has played the trump card." John Lackey, who placed second in the weekly contest, won that position on the "tJ:. S. Rejects Japan Demand; Sailors Landed." The infor mal military alliance between Germany and Italy was the subject of t he story deemed outstanding by third place winner Robert Cook.

Coach Frank Mueller who likes the game of baseball so well he helps the pitchers out who can't
last in batting practice gets out on the mound and pitches. In O~aha Tuesday one of the boys who was watching the game remarked that the red headed kid p itching looked pretty old · to be in high school. Jt was Coach Mueller who received the compliment. When Lincoln high played Omaha . South in baseba ll about one week ago, Charles .Wheeler, Coach Frank Mueller's starting catcher, displayed a quality which the sport fans call "sportsmanship." The umpire, calling balls and strikes, had just called a strike on a South player. Charles trotted out to the umpire and told him that the last pitch should not have been called a strike. His glove had accidentally touched the bat and therefore the batter was entitled to a free trip to first base. The bewildered ump' finally called it a •no pitch'.

Lovell led Lincoln hitters at the plate but was outshone t here .by Fremont's Max who slammed three blows in four trips to the batter's box. Both teams looked good on the field and numerous infield plays kept the crowd on it,s feet. Bob "Jersey Kid" Kersey caught a commendable game at the plate and offered an extra attraction of base running the like of which. has not been witnessed in several s easons. All the way around it was definitely the best game for the Links this season.. Earlier in t he week this same Fremont team defeated Creighton Prep, 6 to 3.

Mardis, O. W. Hackman, Miss Olivia Pound and Bill Pfeiff, former Dobbins medal winner. "Lights out" was the theme, a take-off on the famous radio program, with . Gene Bradley as narrator. Bob Weil announced the program. Martha Ann Bengston and Robert Marcotte presented a scene from "Big Hearted Herbert," the junior play of the present senior class. Don Lovell played the bass fiddle. Jack Clark with manager, Miles Philp, guaranteed to get out of a straight jacket in ten seconds, but something went wrong and the count reached 8 million before Clark gave up. Lloyd Montague (junior for a day) demonstrated how the seniors won the olympics by getting between two seniors, Eugene Irick and Dale King, ducking and letting them fight it out by themselves. Robert G•1enzel read the class w1U anct then Tom Rice solemnly presented a monkey's paw, the instrument of greatly switched vocations. Fred Metheny, Forrest Bachman and Talmage Miller, athletes, clad in long flannels and swimming trunks, did a ballet.

There are two different ways of filing within the system, but the basic idea is carried out in both .. that of filing by sound. Each sound, disregarding vowels, is represented by a key letter and key number. The first three key numbers constitute the code number by which the name is then filed. This brings together all names which sound alike but are not necessarily spelled alike such as: MacLennan McLennone MacLehnon• McLeanyn McLloenehn

She explained the theory of evolution and showed the class models of the skulls of. prehistori;.,. man. She started with the orangutan and showed how the skulls improved. She showed some t ools the cavemen used. Miss Shanafelt took the class to the elephant hall and showed them "Arch ie," the largest elephant on record. "Archie" used to be the largest land animal in the world, · hut a. rhinocero:o 5 feet taller was found a f ew years ago. Archie measur es 15 feet from the toes t o the top of his head. A picture show on "The F ly as a Disease Carrier" was shown to Miss. Schemel's physiology 2 classes last Tuesday. Some of the diseases contracted from flies are spinal meningitis, typhoid fever and diptheria. During July, when the flies · are most prevalent~ there are more deaths from typhoid than any other time of year.

L Club Partial,ly Answers ·Question on Letter Policy · 'l'he L club has answered last week's edit orial concernin g t he organization, ahd to a cer tain extent has . satisfactorily explained its action which, members stat~, has been in ef~ feet for three years instead of one. .They explain that an athlet'l who has not wor ked for and won his letter at this school, does not deserve to wear it here along side of JJ sweaters. The club also offers proof that the ' 'home l etter only'' ' rule is in effect in a. number of other schools. Never theless, .it still has not been expl ained to this writer's satisfaction, why they object to Y. M. C. A. letters. If the letter L was forbidden in the "Y," one would certainly think that the organization was drifting from its democratic and Christian principles.
When Examinations Co1ne, Can Rest Be Far Behind? A change has come over L incoln high school! No longer do happy smiles radiate through the classrooms. No longer do cheery whistles echo through the halls. No longer do the laughing v oices of light-hearted students annoy the teachers on duty after school. Yes indeed, a drastic change has taken place within this :four-story brick building. You: see, examinat ion time h as r olled around again. 'l'he serious countenances, the hasty last-m.inute ' ' cramming/ ' arid the chewed-off Ptncils all bear silent testimony of this ne\v era. . Yet examination time in itself is not really a new era. It is only the preludi.- the calm before the storm. For almost befort the casual observer has r ecovered from that frst shock, he mity f ind himself lying f lat in tie mi ddle of a busy .hall intersection while th e ClOwd unseeingly races over his prone body. The happy smiles now stretch from ear to ear, the cheery whistles have reached a1 unheard of crescendo, and t he laughing Vlices . swell to a pitch almost beyond conception. '•'ollowing right on t he heels of examination is Va-cation; Sunun.er vacation t Vacation th.t will last for ·t hree whole months. Why, the1, shouldn 't joy reign supreme ? Why indeed 1
"Do Not Attend University

Hutchins. ' Who should go to college1'' This was the question as.ked of Robert M. Hutchins, presiChicago, in an interd ent of the University vie>V by John R. Tunis which appeared in t he :Ladies Home Journal. Mr. Hutchins' answer was that everyone shottld be educated, t hat is as far as high school, but about one third of the graduates of high school should never go t o 'college. · He classifies this on e-t hir d as boys and girls who do not ltarn easily from books. 'l'h ey should get a job after high school g-raduation, and be saved :from the disappointment of four years of college work for a field beyond their capacity. The other two-thirds, those who are "book-minded,'' should go to a junior college, which is a 1wo-year unit equivalent to the :freshman and sophomore years in most universities. Since we are in the same town with the Nebraska university, it is too easy t o consider college as the natural step after high school graduation. Many pupils go to · college who are not inJerested in getting an education, but are more concerned about fraternities, sororities, part:es and football. It is this group that lowers the standard of the college. C. S. .Boucher, chan cellor of the University of Nebraska, said last fall in an address at the t eachers convention that high school education should prepare students for life, rather than for college. It is the job of the university to take up the work where the high school is finished. So, before you plan to go to college, these points are worth consider.ing. Would you rather go to a vocational center for t echnical, business, or home training, or do you really want t o spend four more years in training your mind 1 4

Mrs. Adna Dobson Recalls Lincoln High At Time of First Graduation Exercises Mrs. Adn a Dobson , class of 1876, is one of the t hree m embers of the second .class ever to be gr.\ldUated from Lincoln high school. The first .graduating cla ss had oniy one member. Five pupils were p repar ed for g r aduation in Mrs. Dobson's class, but one moved a way and one died. On ly one i~remb er ot th e high s ch ool had been born in Lincoln so the first question asked a n ew pupil was, "Where did you come f rom?" Mrs. Dobson came to Lincoln from England in 1872 w hen ·she was 12 years old. Their cross ing from Liverpool to New York was m ade in r ecord time j ust .nine days. H er family had· h eard of Neb r aska through English friends w ho preceded them, so they ca!J1e d irectly to Lincol n f rom N ew York. They took a homestead, but had lived on it for only about three weeks when a prairie fire destroyed all their possessions. T hey held on, however, in this new · country a nd managed to have a g reat deal of fun doing so. When MrSc. Dobson first ent ered
Lincoln · h igh s chool she. had some of her -cla sses in churches, some in private homes or any other place available. What ls now ca lled t he old McKinley school . ,was . about half finished t hen and when it was completed was the show place of the city. After the school was completed, all grades attended there. The kindergarten was housed in the basement and one g radually worked up until h e attained high school a nd the top story. The class she recalls m ost vividly was one in essay writing. Each pupil was required to hand in an essay each Friday and then on Monday the best were read a loud and t he writers 1sometimes . given prizes. She was graduated when sh e w as 16 and went out to teach count r y school. Before so very long her 12 pupils were .deprived of their teacher by yourig A dna Dobson who came to bring h er h o;me on Friday evenings. H er son, Arthur Dobson, who also got his education in the Lincoln schoolll, is now a m em ber of t he school board.
E nclosed in a. cream and brown cover, t he 1939 Links made its bow at the earliest moment for many yea rs wh en it w a s distributed Monday. The padding of the cover lends a touch of luxury to the s trict simplicity which is the keynote of the makeup in this year's book. A topside view of Lincoln high school, t aken by t he L inks daring . aerial photographers first meets the eye when the book is opened and gives an early clue to the theme which is woven through every section. How does being a m ember -0f. the student body · of L incoln h igh school affect a per son's outlook? That is t he question t he book attempfs t o answer. Unique and beautiful views of the building in the in t roduction · set the stage for the presentation of a cross-section of student life in Lincoln high. Sign ifying the co-operation be· t ween the staff and t he p upil, the faculty administ ra tion a nd t he student gove rnment are grouped together. Seniors and their lists' of hig h school achievements com e next and are followed by the und erclassmen. Impressions left by dramatic productions a nd assemblies will be strengthened in years to come by ,a glance a t t he pages where these stage performances a nd recorded in words a nd pictures.
E veryday cla.'!ses are s hown in such a way that a n ew light is thrown on t ha t routine which h as a lways been another school day. One sect ion shows by pictur es the wide va r iety of extra activities which ca ll f or the attention of many pupils when the t ext books .are closed f or another afternoon . Anything from .editing a paper to singing a song ; rrom watching a chemical explosion to writing a poem may a ppeal to an indi· victual, but wha tever it may be the Links has pr esented a recor d of it illust rated with typical scen es. Lin coln h igh school's gifted athletes, both boys and gir ls, a re recog nized. A football team which could be stopped on ly by t he ca mera, is captured in p ictures. Those who compet ed with other schools t o cover, Lincoln h igh with glory and t hose who contended with their own schoolmates can all be seen In characteristic poses in the 1939 year book. It seems to have been the purpose of t hose who helped produce this book t o g ive in as f ew words a nd with as m a ny pictures as possible a clear discription of the events and people w hich m ake up a school year in Lincoln h igh school.

Accomplishment of Herbert Deurmeyer And Robert Lindberg Is Exceptional If t here were, in Lincoln high, awards for the greatest accom·
plishment by students, they would go, it seems, to Herbert Deurmeyer and Robert Lindberg, who, though deaf from very early childhood, have gone thr ough t he public schools, made better t han average mar ks, and are now on thti' point of graduating. Herbert was just beginning to , talk when he was about one and a half years old and had so severe a case of measles menegitis, that he lost his hearing. Robert was younger, three months, when he got the flu and was so ill that he almost died. The two boys became acquainted with each other in Prescott school where there is a special class for the deaf. Herpert had gone for two years to a school for t he deaf in St. Louis before this. Here they became very close friends and have gone to s~hool together since that t ime. Their accomplishments in school have surpassed t he average students' work. Their scholastic rec• ords have been high, to which statement the office files will serve witness. Furthermore they

CLASSES Phyllis Overman in Miss Jennie Piper's second period history class brought a medal in connection with Napoleon, a topic the class is now studying. While her father was in France in the Argonne Forest during the World war he obtained t his medal from a dying German prisoner that his detachment had captured. This man told her father it was the medal Napoleon gave to one of his generals before he left for St. Helena. Pupils in the rest classes have been taking their siestas outside. Instead of the usual procedure of resting in the clinic, they have been spreading their blankets. on the school lawn. Miss Annetta Sprung's French

Fusa Yamashita, Japanese girl, was a visitor in classes May 23. This was her second visit to Lincoln high s chool. Miss Yamashita was dressed in her native costume. Pupils kept the tiny visitor busy signing autographs, as · sht! wrote her name in both English 11.nd Japanese for all of those who desired It. The boys glee club, under the direction of H. T. Rangeler 13ang a number of selections at the r.griculture college, Monday morning. Miss Ethel Murray's third period hygiene class visited. the Lincoln General hospital May 22. English 16 classes of M iss Bessie Fisher discovered that they did not know as much about Lincoln as they thought they did. A list of stores that possess neon signs was given students and in the classes were supposed to give the address of each store. After much pondering, pupils realized that they ought to acquire more knowledge Of their capital city, Playing games in a modern history 1 class? You never heard of it? Well, you must look in on Mrs. Ru t h Dodge's third period class June 2. A review in the form of a game or contest will supplant that "evil and vile" thing they call a final examination. · One hundred questions which review the w ork of modern h istory 2 will be substit uted in Miss Jennie b. Piper's modern h istory 2 classes instead of a final examination. This same type of test w as given last year and the majority of her pupils favored it over an examination. An interesting touch was added to the play "Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon" last Tuesday by Miss Annetta Sprung to her French 4 classes. She showed some post cards of scenes in the story and pictures of the cast which presented the stage play in Paris a year ago last summer when she saw it.

have both t aken active interest in sports. Robert rarely ever misses· a university or high school basketball or football game, having had for several years a season ticket. And t hen too, his golf par is not one to be sneezed a t. Herbert has gone even further in sports, especiaJly golf, being an "L " man on the greens, and city golf champion. The boys a.re able to understand qunte easily anyone who is speaking to them, as long as t he lips of the speaker are visible. They follow a conversation by lip-reading., and therefore have no need of knowing any sign language. Herbert will go to the University of Nebraska , then to take a six-year course in dentistry, after which he will join hi~ father in the mechanical dentistry business. Robert, on the other hand, will Seek apprenticeship with a linotypist, thus to enter this field of work, for which he h as trained himself during his high s chool career.

" A county seat election in the late 1800's was scen e of confusion and often times fighting. Father was only t wenty-seven and was considered a good choice for county 3heriff, although he w as not a good pistol shot," She continued, confiding to h er cla ss t hat he immediat ely chose two f astshooting men for h is dep uties on e of w hom had been with B uffa lo B ill. Word had been sent to M r . Piper t h at a number of horsethieves wer e on their way north from Texas a nd t o keep a sharp lookout f or strange brands. That on e of his deputies, instead of h im, a rrested t he horsethief was a happy occur rence said Miss Piper for if he had had tha t duty he would not be living today . The coroner w ho had a ocompanied the deputy to see how the horse~thief would die ( a forethought on the part of the deputy) was shot through the shoulder and only the quick shooting of the deputy brought t hem out safely.

Lincoln high's 1939 baseball team, a tea m that set a school record for games played in one season, scored ove r twice as ma ny points a s did its oppo· nents. Coach Mueller 's squad brought in a tota l of 97 runs in 15 games as compared to the, 4 6 tallies registered by op· pos ing t eams. Of the 15 g a m es _played, Lincoln won 11. The nine-inning score less ti e wi t h Fremont, as is customary, was not counted as ga me pla yed in figuring the wins and losses . Much of th e s eason's success ma y be credited to t he un usually large and v ersatile pitching staff, whic h featured Sheffert, Glass and Wilkinson. A good crop of catchers, namely Daniels, Wheeler, Kersey, a nc Leona rd, f urnis hed plenty of t a rg ets for the hurlers. T he season's record : J.lneo ln J.t neoln J .incoln J.lnooJn J.1ncoln
