Lightning· Strikes At L. H. S. Girl "I was struck by lightning," remarlced Marilyn Marshall when asked what she did on her vacation. Marilyn was visiting in Mankato, Minnesota, and was sending the night in a. cabin near there. She. continued by saying, "We were sleeping soundly, when rain and a thundering crash woke us up with a start. I was in a comfortable position with my arms around the iron bedopost when I heard the world crashing about me. What I heard next was a lot of voices talking and I was being given artificial respiration by a life guard. The girls told me that I had been unconscious for more than three minutes.

L.H.S.. Tal{es Girls' State By Stor1n

The Lincoln high school band accompany the team to Scottsbluff and play at the football game there on Fri· day night, October 10. This trip will be made possible through the efforts ' of. a committee of members of the Lincoln junior chamber of commerce, headed by Sid Anderson. A plan for obtaining suf· ficient funds was presented to M. C. Lefler, superintendent of schools, and H. C. Mardis, prin· cipal of Lincoln high school. The Jaycees plan to raise t11e money by sponsoring a dance at the Turnpike, to be held Friday night, October 3. Music will be furnished by Clyde Knight from the Trianon in Chicago. The committee hopes that a sufficient number of Chamber of Commerce member.s and patrons of L. H. S. football will buy tickets for the dance to insure the funds necessary to send the band with the team. If their efforts are sufficiently supported by the community, a special train will be scheduled for the. trip. More than 30 members of the chamber of commerce ·have already asked for rese rvation.s for the trip. A special rate has been matl c of will probably

'.l. he new Red and Black handbooks, which 1

the student co~ncil distributed last spring, thi·ough the junior high schools, to every pupil intending to attend Lincoln high, ha,·e contributed much to clear congestion in the halls during these ffrst two weeks of school. There have been less questions ai;;ked concerning where certain rooms are located and how fo · get t•J them mainly because of the fine detailed floor plan contained in the handbook. Complete outlines for every course offered in Lincoln high appeat' in the handbook which affords the pupil a better chance of ch.o osing the comse best suited for his future vocatiou oi: aims in life. In this way the handbook will do away with most of tile students who . go through high school with a rather hit and miss method, and when they graduate find themselves - only partially prepared for the vocation which they choose then; So let's make· the distribution of Red aud Black handbooks to sophomores a regular plari to enable the graduates of Lincoln high to be ·better prepared for life.

V a1·ious Clubs Present ·Many Opportunities to A.ll New sophomores and pupils who have never considered joining clubs before, should ,take advantage of the wide choice offered at Lincoln high. ·These clubs start the new-student s off on a beneficial social life, besides offering a chance to better oneself by learning: more about subjects t hat one is interested in. . Lincoln high offers a number of clubs tha.t do not have a limited number of members, so are able to accommodate members without .necessitating try.outs. Some of theise clubs arc: business girls club, Girls Reserves, a club which is spom1ore1l by the Y. W. C. A. for girls only· Hi-Y, the boys club which is sponsored by the Y. M. C. A., home economics club, pet club, Hadiolinks, Round Table and travel club. Those clubs whiCh are open to junio1•s and seniors by try-outs are: Orpheons, .the musical group which sponsors the opera. and the midyear concert; Mummers, a group of actors and actresses wbo present an annual play and as. sembly; and the Forum, which is based on public speaking, group discussions and parlia· mentary procedure. The girls athletic ac;:sociatiwns membership is earned by riine times of participating in after school sports and participation in class · competition or by other means.· The L club Is an organization for lettermen.

Most OJ SophQmores Find School Pleas.ing

Announced

The majqrity of the sopho· mores l.i ke our schoql as a whole. They would rather have five 1 periods with more length than six short peril!ds. They like the idea of having only one home room peril!d instead of three, as the junior hig'h schools have, because there is so little to do in home rqqm, The new sound system is a hit with all, because of the direct method of announcements from the principal. A little more than half like the lunch period system. They feel that 36 minutes is enqugh for eating .at noon. A5 a whole, they don't miss the home room athletic competition because the schqol s p or ts program furnishes plenty qf athletic entertainment. A few sophomqres don't like having two persons in one locker and not being permitted enough time for study, but the overage sophqmore likes the school and its teachers.

Seniors Placed In .Home Rooms That the seniors are not hav-

ing the auditori.um for their home room this semester. has brought about sotne questioning on how this has i:ome about. "The change," Miss Olivia Pound, rr.ssistant principal, stated, "was brought about mainly by the complaints of the seniors themselves." Ti':!· 'C:umplaints were that when stuuying or writing, the students wete forced to rest themselves in .uncomfortable positions, such as on the small arms of the chairs. When there was an assembly such as the sophomore assembly, which is held every Tuesday, they were sent in all directions, to make enough room for all the :sophomores, and to rid the auditorium of so much commotion during the lecture. Miss Pound also stated that since there are about 200 less students enroiled at Lincoln high this semester, it could be provided for every senior to have a home room.

Bette Bennett Has Solo Flying Time With all the thrills that come with solo flying, Bette Bennett, junior, has been adding hours to her credit toward a private flying license and toward her career as a fifing instructress. She has ·ueell° 'ui~mg ·msi:iucfiofiil :rtnce June of this year at the WhiteJensen airport. Bette has just come to Lincoln high this semester from Brownell Hall in Omaha. She now has 16 hours and 10 minutes in the. air, 10 hours of which are solo. She didn't get scared until. about the fourth time she went up alone, and then she realized that there was nothing between the plane and the ground except her ability to pilot the ship. Going into spins are Bette's most recerit lessons. · The first spin she went into, her head went spu .nin;;- ~no, but she h a H "vercome that now. lviaKing figur'' eights around pylons and practicing landings also take up her time while in the plane. Bette is looking forward to making her cross-country flight in which she has to solo and land at two airports, which are some distance from Lincoln.

Forun1 Try-outs To Be Soon

Student Has Mystifying Trick Up His Sleeve Uncanny abilities may be the answer to how Lloyd Hitchcock, a first semester sophomore, while blindfolded, is able to lead two· persons to a hidden object by holding their pulses. At any rate he did just this to prove .to Carl Manthey; that it could be done. Upon going to Mr. Manthey's room after school, Lloyd was ushered to the hali where a handkerchief was wrapped around his head and eyes. Entering the room, he was requested to· locate a needle which had been placed in the room. Lloyd's first st_ep was to find the pulse of some person with his right hand and then the pulse of another with his left ~ By noticing the rapidity in pulse beat of his assistants as he got nearer the needle, Lloyd was able to locate the exact spot of the object he was seeking.

Malcolm Allen Safest Part 0£ Service' Is Representative Don Mauel '37, President Flight Engineer Don ]4auel, '37, who visited s chool Wednesday, is now a flight engineer with the Headquarters and Headq4arters Squadron of the 30th Bombardment Group at New Orleans, Louisiana. According to Don, the a ir corps is the safest part of the service. Don, a "glorified mechanic," in the air corps is also an emergency machine gunner on Boeing B-17D flying fortress. When anything goes wrong with the ship, it is the flight engineer's worry, as he is the head mechanic. "We get the best food in the world, good va riety and all we want," First 'Class Private Mauel stated, when asked how. the "eats;' · are. "Civilian life seems funny a fter you h a ve been in the army a while. People stare at you as if you were out of place." Don, who enlisted about ten months ago to avoid being drafted, was sent to the Spartan School of Aeronautics in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to take his training. "The mos t foolish thing I ever did happened one day when I was warming up a P12-A pursuit ship, out on a ramp," related Don, "and a little grease on the engine caught fire. The fire extinguisher in the plane was partly empty, so I ran into a hangar after another one. On the way out I came around a corner and ran into someone and knocked him down. I swore at him until I found out he was a second lieutenant. He said nothing about it then, but la ter I hea rd plenty. " Don likes the afr corps so well that he plans to stay in even after the national emergency is over.

!Maybe your ancestors weren't Scotch, but that doesn't mean any normal human doesn't like to save money. A.11 during this week you can save $2.75 by buying an activity ticket. This semester's ticket can be had for $1.75 paid-in-full or by a 75e down payment, 15c on Tuesday; September 30, and lOc each Tuesday thereafter :for a period of 11 weeks. The total amount of the installment ticket adds up to $2.00, hut you 're still saving $2.50, for i£ you went to every single thing offered on the ticket and paid for it each time, it would cost $4.50. Possibly you 're thinking to yourself, "Wjll I get my money's worth?" With this semester's ticket, you will get to see five home, first team football games played under the lights at night and any home reserve football gam~. This year's home schedule includes Curtis, Sioux City East, N orthMst high Omaha Central and Grand Island. Following the football games are two plays, the Mummers and the senior play. Then it's not long till basketball season and again there will be good first team home basketball games such as Omaha South; Sioux City Central, Sioux City East and Omaha Central, coupled with any home reserve basketb~ll games and any home swimming meets. Besides all of these thing·s, there will be all the issues of the Advocate which total fourteen issues the first semester. So, if you buy an activity ticket today, you '11 save money toroorrow.

However, with the present system of lunch periods there should be enough places at tables for all of the students and no need for the pupils to stand and wait for seats. Many groups of students, after finishing their lunches, remain at the tables and talk while other students just coming in for lunch must stand and wait for the seats to be vacated. If the studenbl at the tables would eat their lunches promptly and leave the cafeteria im.: mediately after finishing,_ the problem <lf delayed lunches could be avoided. This would also be a help to the sophomores who are not used to crowded lunch rooms and a thirty minute lunch period. If the student wiU only cooperate with each other in this way the lunch periods will nm more smoothly.

Rounds Draws Life In China

Entered in the eleven th National Model Airplane contest which w as held in Chicago this summer , was Bill P armenter , a senior of Lincoln high. Bill took the t enth place a mong a field of contestants who totaled in the thousands and who came from 42 different stat es and also from Mexico a nd Panama. Enter ing the National meet for the fir st tim~, Bill lost both of his gas model airplanes which he entered, when they floated aw ay on thermals for out of sight flights, but luckily both were found a few weeks late r, one 18 miles away. Bill entered in more than six model a irplane contests this summer and collected more than $50 in winnings. Last summer in contests he won more than $100 worth of prizes and also won the Nebra ska state gas model championship, which he lost this summer to his father, H. 0. P a rmenter. Bill h as been building m odels for m ore than five year s, but his father built a gas model airplane this summer so well it t ook places in thtl!e differ ent contest s a nd made Mr. P arment er stat e gas model champion.

Opponents!! Beechner Has Brewed A New Keg Of Trouble High Spirited Team Ready To Serve ~t Up BY JACK DONOVAN,

Why all the smiles "Beech?'; Could it be the marvelous showing the bOys have been making in practice? Well, what ever it is, they have been showing more hustle than any Lincoln team for many a moon. When big huskies like Gordon Hall, Neil McPherson and Stanley Hamilton hit the dumbies hard enough to double them over, the boys must be out to win the state crown and nothing less. Meanie Jack Beers; Bob Keller and Jack Nebelsick are right up there where the action is at its strongest and -will be making trouble all year for the opposing backfield. At the ends, Jerr y Regelcon is the man to watch. His pass snatching ability is something beyond sheer beauty and he is a demon on the defense. Petit "Micky" Allen makes up for his lack of weight in gameness and should see much action before the year is over. The tackles· will be the toughest part of Beechner's well balanced eleven. Hall and McPherson should rank as the best in the sta te before the season is over. Leo Beck, a converted end, Vallery Stretton and Bill Albrecht .should come in handy if either Neil or Gordon is forced to the sidelines. Ralph has a wealth of material at the guaz:d position with Keller, George, Beers and N ebelsick being the lads that stop the power plays aimed through their places. John . Blumer, Hamilton and Jack Tilton are the centers. Hamilton will probably get the nod to start _the Curtis game as he is a veteran from last year. The Red and Black backfield is not like the joke that says, "The halfs are full of lead and the ., quarters can't pass ." No, Lyle Weyand, the n ew t utor, ha s develoned one of the finest back"f iQ- J!

More and more, a challenge for increased spirit in Lincoln high becomes evident as a new up and coming school called Northeast begins its activities. And what about this Northeast which combines one super-foe with two others which could easily become just as bad? Will they ·smother Lincoln high under, in the first game and following games, with points as well as cheers? All depends upon the spirit of this school and its initiative really to

plug for itself. At the Jackson-Lincoln basketball game last year Jackson was out numbered at least two to one by this school, but their whoops resounded just as much as ours. Again, it will be the students with the most energy who w ill bring home the bacon. So classmates, let this be your last warning . . If you want to have pride in the school to which you belong, r eally pitch in and show others what makes it.

The spectators at the football games will be supplied with plenty of light to watch the players, according to Edwin Geistlinger, school custodian. After nearl y two days work, the men finished installing the lights on the posts la st Friday. The light s are borrowed from the city for the duration of the football season. They were formerly used at the municipal baseball diamond. Mr. Geistlinger said , "There are five posts on each side of the stadium with seven lamps to a post. 10,500 watts of electricity are used every hour for each post so .altogether 1 05,000 watts a re used in only ·one hour." Unless Coach •'Biff" Jones shuffles his Nebraska first string lineup before the Huskers tackle Iowa State in the season's opener, Lincoln high will be the . only school to place more tha n one grad on the starting eleven.

With a t ennis tournament h ere, an archery t ournament there and prospects of a riding contest in the_ center, life goes on as usual. Could it be t ha t the army h as drafted all of the school doctors? For it seems that the girls a r e still having their physical examinations w hich have not been completed due to a limited number of doctors a nd their time. D~. Margery Everett, resident physician at the Linco-ln General hospital, has been . the doctor examining the girls. Dr. Everett was graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1939 and took more medical work in Boston and Chicago. Originally from Scottsbluff, she expressed the hope that Scottsbluff is on top in the future game with Lincoln, but we' ll show them (wo.n't we ?) Although it is a known fact that the bow a nd arrow had been used for centuries as defensiv-~ weapons, it was not until about L11e year 1760 that the possibilities of archery for- a recrea'don al sport w ;u;_ r ediscovered.

Students Aid Mr. Mardis With 'Milie' Classes Hear Sound System Six pupils were chosen · last week to assist H. C. Mardis this semester in the operation of the Lincoln high sound system. Each pupil is in charge of a period and works for credit hours. 'In charge during home room period and first period is Connie McBride. Assisting during second period and 9:40 assemblies is Betty Jane Fagerberg. Third period, Jack Tilton is assistant and fourth period is Mary Jo Gish, while James Peterson helps during fifth petriod. In charge after school, for clubs mostly, is James Johnston. These pupils will themselves do no personal broadcasting, but will be at all times ready to switch a radio or transcribed program to any class room. Follow Last Year's Program. The same course will follow this year as last. Any class wishing a program or radio broadcast will serid a note to Mr. Mardis with the. class room teacher's signature, atating the type program, the date, the period and the time. Two different radio broadcasts can be sent out at the same time due to the systern's double channels. "The . farther in advance you send your note the more sure you are of receiving your program," stated Mr. Mardis, "but no matter how late you ::;end in for a program or broadcast we will try and get it for you.'' Not only can ·all classes have programs over the. sound system, but after school clubs also may have them. Since most public speaking is now done over radios or speaker systems, public Speaking classes now u::ie the ::ichool sound system to practice speech making and to learn· how one must talk thruough a microphone.

LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER I, 1941 Riding Contest Now Reality Not a Dream As the saying goes; "Something New Has Been Added," but in this instance the "Something" is .not a girl's picture in a service man's locker or an extra chevron on his sleeve, but the activity of horseback riding to the list of girls' competitive sports in Lincoln high school Next Saturday, October 4, at two o'clock in the afternoon the first riding contest shall take place at Shreve's Riding Academy. There is to be class competition and also a contest. between the individual riders. The girls will be judged on mounting, dismounting, handling of the reins and proper seating position.

Stylist Speaks on Season? s Fashions To Business Girls Miss Ruthanna Russell, stylist from Miller & Paine, who has just recently returned from New York City, spoke a t the first meeting of the business girls club, Monday, September 22. In relating her visit to New York City, she told the girls the process in which a department store buyer ptlrchases the latest fashions, which. she herself witnessed. She added that she saw Vogue, popular fashion magazine, edited and pl'~;i~~'!. and dined at a luncheon in whicii"sne ir.:.t many notables of Vogue's editing ~tai:i. "Colors brighter and gayer are the latest for fall," said Miss Russell in reference to new fall colors. The overdone military fashions are out definitely, but the cowboy idea in fashion is s till as popular as ever, she added. Th~ latest fashion fad is the " V" for ilicto.ry. trend,. which ia beffi.g dhuvd1 011 dres ses, accc.s::;ur1c~' ano.

Entertai11ed By Bands Band Marches At First Game Resplendent in bright red and black uniforms, the Lincoln high school band made its initial appearance of the year at the football game with the Curtis Aggies, Friday evening, September 26. At the half, after a pertormance by the Aggie band, the Lincoln high band took the field and then divided into four groups. Each . group then formed an airplane and ·marched down the field in formation with a twirler at the front of each. The band then countermarched to the end of the field and re-entered their places in the stand. A near-capacity crowd gave them much applause as they finished their formations. This . group of. 70 young musicians, directed by Bernard Nevin, was led on the field by Gloria Green, a majorette. In front of the band, something new in the form of three red flags with the black letters L. H. S., greeted the spectators. The following is the list of students in the band this year: - Harley Adams Gloria Green Donald Andrews James Griffith Bob R .

Officers Installed As Hi-Y Meets as pre s ident of the Hi-Y club las t Thursday night, as six other offi-

cers were also installed in their various posts. The new vice-pre.sident, in charge of all the program arrangements, is Jack Tilton, Roger Ellis is secretary, Richard Harpham, trea surer, Wayne Kingery publicity agent, and Dale Bab· cock was ·appointed as representative of the club. After a short discussion as to where students who are eating in the oval during warm weather, will eaf when cold weather comes, committee composed of Frank Anderson, Jack Tilton and Roger Ellis was appointed to meet with the student council t o arrange plans. Members of the club may eat in t he club r oom of the Hi-\'.' building at present. The main objection to opening t he Hi-Y to ~he students during lunch hour, is that last semester it was always left in a mess, because the boys apparently didn't appreciate the court· esy enough to refrain from throwing papers, apple cores and such things on the floor instead of into the waste baskets. Before the busines;; of the meeting was started, a Laurel and Hardy comedy about their life in the a rmy was shown. The dues for membership in the club were reduced from the usi.~l forty cents a semester, to twentyfivc cents.

Dr. Pfeiler Is School Guest Speaks In Assembly On World Nazism And Democracy Dr. W. K. Pfeiler, associate professor of Germanic languages at the University of Nebraska, spoke to the students i n assembly Monday, September 29, on the current issues of nazism and democracy. "The United States of America is the nation in which democracy and the rights of the individual have their strongest chance," stated Dr. Pfeiler. "The issues of democracy are at stake now and if we are true A mericans we will be ,h appy to sacrifice our luxuries in this urgent time to retain our free way of life." Adding humor to his speech, Professor Pfeiler, whose doctor's degree is from the University of Cologne, Germany, first asked the pupils to pardon his accent. _Dr. Pfeiler stated that human life constitutes the ability to work, to fight, and to die for an ideal. Concluding his talk, Dr. Pfeiler read "11li:S statement .of an alli".d soldier who h ..ti ;giY~n his life for democracy: "A time <:omes in every man's life when he would prefer death to a life ·i f !'la.very."

Board of Education To Have Office in Former Catholic High School · At last there will no longer be an uncompleted building behind Lincoln high school to spoil the looks of its property. Work on Bonacum Institute started this week, and as it is planned now, it will be completed about December 20 of this year. The name of the building, according to J. G. Ludlam, secretary of the board of education, will be The Public Schools Administration Building, having been changed from its present name of Bonacum Institute, which the Catholics named for the Bishop of Lincoln. It will house the board of education and some adult classes, such as the W. P. A. classes. "The five and ninety-six hundredths acres," says Mr. Ludlam, "around the "building, will be used for Lincoln high sport classei and for a parking lot." The. Catholic school has stood as a brick skeleton for ten years. The school district bought it from the Catholics when they were unable to raise the money to complete the building. An addition will be put on the east side of the building to house all the school ::iupplies. Originally designed by L . A. Duly of Omaha, the completion designs are done by Fritz Craig and N . Bruce Hazen of Lincoln. The school district plans to put about $68,500 into the completion of the building.

The first round will begin Tuesday, October 17, and the second round, October the 24. The question will be the State question, "Resolved: that all able bodied male citizens in the United States should be required to have at least one year of compulsory m ilitary training before the present draft age."

Kvasnicka, debate coach commented as he had in the spring, "The class of '43 was one of the best sophomore classes I've ever seen in my eight years at lincoln high." · He also said that this is the best all around class instead of just a couple good debaters in each class.

Newspaper Week To Be Observed October 1 to 8 Have you ever stopped to think how lucky we are 1 We can speak freely and have freedom of the press. Have you ever thought that in some of the countries over-seas you would only read about what your government had done ~ In wars, only the information which benefited your country would be published. You'd think probably your country was winning huge victories while actually the editors of the paper were under, the strictest censorship and all they could do was to print untrue facta to bolster up the morale of their countr y which in the end would probably only be false morale. Coming under the theme of '' 'l'he ne'NSp aper lights the way to freedom, '' is National Newspaper ·week which will be observed from October 1 to 8. Compared to other countries, hern in America under our codes of ethics for journalism, newspapers have the right to attract and hold readers with nothing restricted except considerations of public welfare. OUL' presses may discuss whatever is not explicitly :forbidden by law. We have no obliga tions to :follow except that the fidelity of the public interest is vital. Our papers use sincerity, truthfulness, accuracy and are partial to no one. Newspapers here do not publish untruthful charges affecting a person's r eputation or moral character without giving the defendant a chance to be heard. Also, decency is held in the highest respect by all our papers, none printing material which is not demonstrably for the public's general good. If we all will support our newspapers much more beginning today, with National Newspaper Week, they will continue to " light the '\'lay to freedom.''

Cooperation of Americas Helps Bf!th Progress Che·e l'ing from the bleachers at the foot-. ball games shows our team that we are boost· ing them. Our spirit and enthusi11sm encourages the team to accomplish its goal. Thus we should show our spirit and · enthusiasm towards South America. By showing our willingness to cooperate- w ith our neighbors, we will get the proper attitude. Romantic South America is no longer just another continent on this world. Besides the deep jungles with lurking wild animals and snakes in its depths, it has beautiful and modern cities. In the smaller cities transportation ·is by llamas and burros, but Buenos Aires and Rio de Janerio are much like American cities. Although the continent is different from ours in many ways, those people are Americans as we are. and they have many of the same ideals, thoughts and characters as ours. Miss Helen Hosp, former dean of womeTu at the University of Nebtaska, has visite_d South America and knows many of then· customs. Since we are making an honest effort to be friendly with South America be~ause .of ~ronbled ti.r:,:.·; and n'..11· D~!'d of then· social an<i ccoP~ "'·>lort: she suggests we t 1·:; ' "

The

Covers Interest is sure to run high, especially for prospective journalists, on "AP, The Story of the News," by Oliver Gramling. It is one of the new books in the Lincoln high school library, released Wednesday', September 24. It is the life story of the Associated Press, internationally known newsga thering organization. The principle of the press started in the reading room of the Boston coffee house, when the proprietor got a new idea and began recording marine news, as soon as it oould be got, for the interest of his patrons. Soon many papers up and down the coast were using the rowboat method that the coffee house used for collecting marine news, When telegraph came into use this method with the pony express increased circulation. Then a group of New York newspapers banded togeth,er to form a better ·news· gathering agency. It was called Associated Press and has lasted through the years,. "scooping" the other news organizations, covering wars and other great international affairs, increasing in size as well as efficiency. The book tells some of the hardships and thrills of news-gathering from 1811 to 1940. Here is another list of new books in the Lincoln high library. They are a part of the 200 acquired at the beginning of this semester. More will be listed next week, as these go into circulation on Wednesday, October 1.

Musician Believes Classical Music Is Appreciated By More Youth of Today

Lincoln ls Dancing Old-Fashioned Way

Willard Robb, well known Lincoln musician, music career all be· gan when as a young .boy in junior high. At the time a cornet player was needed in the band, and he seeking the opportunity, took his grandfather's cornet, which he had had since the Spanish American war and tried out, even if it was about a whole tone flat. But he decided he would take up the flute instead because flutists were more in demand and his instrument was at least in tune. "Then," remarked Mr. Robb, "in university, I definitely wanted to write music, because I had written music in high school and liked to do it." Mr. Robb hag since taken piano, violin, flute, organ and composition lessons from many of the well known musicians both in and outside of Lincoin. He himself a writer of classical music feels that soi:ne ofithe "popular music" is good music. He explained, "from the times past there has been music which was good, it survived, it got by and has lasted. That which was judged harsh · and radical has naturally not survived."

"Swing your pardner" echos through the air as couples whirl and spin to the music. Square dancing again finds a place in the hearts of fun loving folks. Catching on with the high school set, but with married persons showing more interest, it continues to grow in popularity. During the summer a group of men and women decked in colorful costumes arranged square dances at various playgrounds which set the ball rolling in Lincoln. A large number turned out, from grandma and grandpa trying to recapture thrills of their courting days to young jitterbugs, just there out of curiosity. Within a few minutes the dancers were in their groups tapping their toes in anticipation. Then the calls began, "All join hands and circle to the left!" Through the evening the dancers whirled and swung with newfound energy. Probably many parents of high school students remember when they went to the neighbor's house and rolled· back ,the rugs and waited for the fiddler and caller to begin. Now both parents and kids are off with the gang to an old-fashioned, boisterous square dance.

Homebound Pupils Offered Complete Education System

In his belief it is still true today.

The pieces of "popular music" which are not thought as radical or harsh will live on and long be well liked, He does ·claim however that the musicians today are writing more from an intellectual standpoint instead of writing with true feeling and inspiration. When asked if the younger generation is forgetting to appreciate the "finer music," he very optimistically replied, "no, more youth is appreciating the finer music today because they . have the opportunity of hearing the radio, and more finer music is being broadcasted today. Our finer dance bands are turning· out more classical music than ever before, although it is in swingtime." Concluding M_r. Robb put in that his favorite musician is Kenny Baker, because he puts so much personality into his singing, Other favorites are John Charles Thomas, as a singer; Jose Ilurlie, as a pianist; Albert Spalding, as a violinist and John Barbaroli as a conductor. A graduate of Lincoln high of the class of '32, he was a member of. orchestra, band, boy's glee, acapella choir, orpheons member and was elected to the National Honor Society.

Bill Pfeiff and Fred Egley, both former Lincoln high students and football players, are now coaching and teaching a Norfolk high school. Pfeiff is coach of the first string, while Egley is reserve coach. Egley also has physical education classes and teaches history. Sergeant Robert Beghtol, a former Lincoln high student and ~ cousin of Roger Ellis, is teaching at the quartermasters replacement center in Cheyenne, Wyoming. In a letter to Miss Sarah T. Muir he tells of his experiences. "I'm teaching supply and salvage. We teachers are required to take an 18 weeks course in teaching methods, and are then eligible for teaching in the army," he stated. He believes that essay type questions in examinations for adults are more successful than the true or false type advocated by the local junior high principal, who prepared him for teaching. Reinholdt Murray, '41, ex-football player, will enter the Lincoln Flying school this fall. He is taking a 26 week course in airplane mechanics. David Ronne, class of '31 is a manufacturer's representative for a firm in California, which makes trophies for schools. His territory covers Arizona, New Mexico and California.

Mrs. Albin told of seeing Mohammedan women wearing their queer veils, and of the marvelous inlaid doors of the East, and showed pictures of most of the beauty spots which she visited. "Whenever we wen.t into a shop in China," she said as her Chinese things were shown, "we were served tea and rice cakes." From China she displayed jade ornaments, long ornamental finger nail guards, prayer scrolls that they would twirl. 11.s they go !lawn. the street, and Chinese statuettes of fishermen, fruit venders and peasants in gerenal.

Dr. Arthur L. Smith talked before physiology 2 classes Monday, during third period. This talk was given originally at the American Heart association and has since been revised for high school students and P. T. A. meetings. Illustrating his talk, Dr. Smith has records of many ,heart cases and a machine which reproduces recording of beats of normal and diseased hearts. The appearance of Doctor Smith at Lincoln high was arranged by a physiology 2 student, Betty Jane Steele.

Ellis M. Jeffrey's physiology 1 classes have two white rats to care for every day. They feed them the special food they need, and then weigh them three times a week to .watch their growth. Officers were elected Monday in the fourth period chorus class, which meets three times a week. As the routine voice-testing and seating came to an end, the students elected Homer Thompson as president, Marie Kramer as vicepresident and Dorothy Johns as secretary. Head librarian will be Roland Petersen, assisted by Herman Roh and LeRoy Haar, and Aileen Donavan will take the duties of editor. Accompanists for the class are Adele Loder and Grace Heins. Gerald A.

The first public debate will be held at the Wesleyan tournament at which the students will debate among themselves for the position of best debate team. This tournamel'lt is made up of Lincoln high school debate stludents,alone. Mrs. Katherine Henninger's fifth period foods class seems to- be very interesting to the three boys in that class since there are only 25 girls. The lucky boys are George Lyberis, Max Egley and Charles Umberger. Miss Ellen Anderson's first period geometry 1 class is studying the use of geometric design in cathedral windows. Miss Anderson has many pictures of cathedral windows, which she obtained when she was in France. "What weave is cotton" and "how do we know a plain weave from a twill" are two of the many questions asked by students . in Miss Delores Young's fifth period merchandise information class.

This last week they have been practicing racing, dives, turns and have been showing great improvement in the crawl. As a result of elections held September 23, James White will be president of Miss Helen Stowell's second period chorus class which meets on Tuesday and Thursday.

Don't be alarmed, fellow students, at the groans and yells heard in Miss· Jury's fourth period Latin class last Tuesday, September 23. it all turned out for the good. The cheers started when Miss Jury announced that a test assigned for that day would not be held, because of the absence of Peggy Kurshman. Just at that moment Peggy walked in, and then the groans started. Peg is loved by all, but her presence was not welcomed at. that time. But with the kind heart of Miss Jury, the test was not )1eld.

Good Spealls To Double Assembly Anniversary of U. S. Constitution With the strains of the Star Spangled Banner floating o'er the auditorium, the first assembly of the school year was opened Sep· tember 25. Paul Good, former attorneygeneral of Nebra.ska" former member and president of the school board and now practicing attorney in Lincoln spoke on the Constitu· tion of the United States. The occasion being that September 28th was the 154th anniversary since the constitution was submitted to the 13 states for ratification. "The constitution was the fruit of endless years of labor and experiment," he said. "In the preamble is stated the purpose of the constitution 'In order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote general .welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our pos.terity.' The constitution is not merely a legal 'document for lawyers and government officials, but should enter into our lives," Mr. Good continued. "The constitution is very amaz· ing in t.h;,e fact that people with a limited outlook and industry and who had a more primitive way of living could write a document that could survive and meet with the demands and needs of the modern world," added Mr. Good. He also said that the Bill of Rights- was demanded by Rhode Island and North Carolina who would not ratify the constitution until these rights were decreed by congress. In conclusion he said, "The con• stitution should enter into· our lives and it is not merely a legal document."

Pat Prewitt Presides Over Chorus Class Results of the election of offi. cers for Miss Helen Stowell's fourth period chorus class are as follows: Pat Prewitt, president; Jack Wells, vice-president; Bar· bara Beard, secr1>tary; Dick Bo· gan, librarian; Joan Damewood, .._.... :.:i}f_,....r ____ ':._ _ ~:....£...:U.

Before these freshmen of the University of Nebraska can be on the paid staff, they must have twenty-seven university credit hours. At present the managing editors and the news editors are attempting to find out which kind of stories each of these reporters can handle best before certain beats are assigned. Mary Kierstead, Marion Priest, Marjorie Mengsho~, Myra Colberg, Adelaide Klaepper, Barbara True and Charlotts Hill are freshmen reporters.

Do ·you think Rodger Ellis and Floyd Pothast look anything alike? Well, it's a long story but I'll tell you. Once upon a time (about two weeks ago) Rodger had an appointment to see Betty Jo Leadley, but who should come over first but Floyd. Since Mrs. Leadley had not . met either one she said"Cont.: ;n, I've been expecting you." Floyd very puzzled said, "no tha'1k you," and went his way. Only a few minutes later another knock on the door and this time it is Roger. So she invited him in just a little mixed up. Floyd, you should have ac- . cepted the invitation and had a nice little threesome. Are Bobette Wendelin and Bill Fanton on the steady list this year? I haven't heard, but it looks as if California didn't c h an g e their minds. I think since Dale McCracken and.

Football ls Here Again, Use Good ·School Spirit Bright flood lights, new uniforms, Peppers and cheei• leaders bring us to with a bang, telling us that the football season is here again, America's most popular fall outdoor sport ! Once again crowds are going. to be attending the night games and that means people are not only going to be watching the team, but also our own student cheering sectiem. More than ever this semester, Lincoln high rooters will have to know how to conduct themselves because of the greater crowds being able to come to the night games. Because of an incident last football season down at Crete, many older Lincoln people believe L. II. S. students don't know how to eonduct themselves at football games. Let's prove to them that Lincoln high has the best eheering section in the state. 'rhis year's team with the smart new uniform Iooks as if it will be on its Way to the title. The Peppers are appearing in their new red sweaters and black skirts. 'l'he band onc<l agaili is playing the good old Lincoln high cheer and £ig·ht songs and there are new cheer leaders and baton-twirlers. With this perfect combination, all we need is the full suppot·t . of the students and the team will try its hardest once again to be .s tate champions!

Many of the men themselves did not know why they were rejected. Why should we in high school be concerned about the health of our nation? Because health is not necessary solely for war, but for peace, also. Yet peop~e seem t~ forget about mental and physical :fitness until there is a threat of war. When the war is over, they forget about it again. . School examinations in 1907 showed what was "revealed" by the draft in 1917. Parents were informed af. the defects, but they could only be treated, not removed. In 19~7, twothirds 0£ each million of future draftees of 1917 were considered defective.

During the week of October 5 through October 11 fire preven· tion is stressed. Aecording to Francis Donnelly, fire chief, the department will be . busy with various activities. All city departments and businesses are expected to cooperate by removing. all fire hazards. Making inspections on buildings throughout the city, having radio broadcasts and •trailers' run at thl)aters, inspecting schools, and having fire drills a t all schools are some of the main activities fcit the departments throughout ·the week.

Open Forum To the Editor: The stairwells in Lincoln high going to and from the fourth floor are dangerous and methods of improvement should be taken into consideration, . Two way traffic between classes makes the stairs unnecessarily crowded. The metal strip on the edge of the step makes it easy to siip when coming down . Already this semester people have caught their heels and fallen. Their bruises were slight, but painful.• These conditions are especially dangerous at the time of a fire drill. Since there are two stairwells close together, one could be used for upgoing traffic and the other for down. Handrails would also help. If needless accidents are to be prevented, much thought should be given to this problem of the stairwells. JEANNE HARVEY. To the Editor: When I first entered this great institution of learning we had pep assemblies and 1 do mean PEP assemblies. I always thought that the idea of a pep assembly was to blow. off a little steam. To get right down to brass tacks I think (and who am I?) that this new method Qf opening pep assemblies is terrible. You come to school all excited about the game. You go into the auditorium ready tci blow your top. You sit down. Then you stand up and can hardly hold still because you have to watch them tramp in with the flags. By the time the Pq•.•;u~rs are through with their ;::hant you have forgotte.I'. that you ever did want 'l\l' yell and sit down and watch the cheer leaders make fools out of themseives. I t hink \ ·! C should open with some fight song to get into the swing of it. I don't mean to be unpatriotic, but there is a time and place for everything and this new ·deal seems to throw the whole thing out of gear. . ROGER ELLIS.

To the Editor: Why can't Lincoln high have a junior-senior prom such as many other schools all over the country do? I should think it could be put over without any expense whatsoever to the school and if publicized a great deal through the Advocate and posters everyone would be eager to attend. If the dance would be h eld at a downtown hotel or some other· such place, the rental would be. about fifty dollars. An orchestra would cost about eighty dollars and allowing twenty dollars for publicity, advertising and inci· dentals, it would make the total cost around one hundred and forty dollars. There are about 2,000 students ili the junior and senior class. But if only about three hundred couples were planned on and the admission was sixty cents per couple around one hundred · and eighty dollars would be raised. This would be more than suffi· cient to cover the expense. I'm sure if. some of the teachers chaperoned, they would get as much enjoyment out of it as the students. • I have heard a great many students say th ey would like to have a prom and it would be something to look forward to with great anticipation. How about it? BARBAR\. EMERSON. To the Editor: Larry Farnham was mistaken when she said in a letter.last week that Witte's was c.Iosed. Witte's is open and doing a thriving business, taking car e of from 300 to 500 Lincoln high boys. The figure is hased m the plate lunches which are sold, equaling between 75 and 150 plate lunches. There are also about 150 to 200 boys that bring their ovvc' lunches from home. Others bu:r o:i )J h3.mburgers and pop. LESTER P ENTERMA.N.

Occupational Class Has Students Do Research Work In merchandise information, which is a class in. the new distributive occupational course, each student does research in the line of work in which he is interested or employed. One of the boys, working in a local chain store, is studying dif· ferent projects on rubber; another, employed at a local grocery store, is lea rning all he can about foods. Two girls are interested in color, line and design which has t o do with the styles of today. Silk and rayon are being studied by one girl who is interesb!d in being a buyer. Two are studying furs. Co$rhetics are being s tudied by two girls who are interested in the contents, different manufacturers, and purposes of cosmetics. One girl is interested in displays, learning the basic points and setting them to use. Two other student s are studying textiles to learn of what clothing is made. One girl is studying plastics which is a new material. Typew riters are the concern of another student who is interested in the different makes and construction of the typewriter. One boy is employed in a local depart· ment store as assistant to display manager. He is studying sign card writing which is necessary in the displays. Each student does his own prep· aration toward these lessons and projects. In this ciass, every st udent is absolutely on 1!is own. He may study a field as long as .h e desires a nd is learning.

It seems that he knew her father twenty yea rs back when he was employed in Manhattan, Kansas, They had also had contacts when Mr. Hamil was managing editor of the Hastings Tr ibune of H astings, Nebraska. Previous to taking on his newly acquired posit ion, he was a member of the New York Cit y staff of the A ssocia ted P ress.

. Round Table Discusses War Problen1 Active War Is Not Favored "Should the United States actively engage in the war with the allies against the axis powers?" was the topic of the panel _discussion held at the Round Table meeting October 2. There were two speakers, Bill Dickson and Bob Gillan, on the affirmative side. In his talk Bill brought out, "We should maintain our freedom of seas at all costs and convoy our ships if necessary. We have exercised this right for years and it. will not stop now in this war." Bob Gillan believes, " It is to our best advantage that we declare war now on the axis powers; this would inspire our laborers, increase American morality, and preserve our freedom of the seas before it is gone." He added, "It is much b etter to fight Hitler over there instead of him fighting us over here." Don Grant and Bob Hinds spoke on the negative side. Grant declared, "We need not take the aggressive to preserve American· democracy. We have sufficient power in our country to guard against any invader." He continued, "If we spread aggression to Japan, Germany, and Italy our democracy will be a totalitarian gover.itment, so we should stay out of a war which really doesn't concern us ." "Why should Americans pay for European wars?" stated Bob Hinds. "·W hy burden us with more taxes. If the allies can't defeat Hitler there, how could Americans three thousand miles away?"

New Faculty Members Given Entertainment New faculty members in the Lincoln high school, were entertained Wednesday, October 1, after school by the old members. The husbands and wives of the teachers were there. The cafeteria furnished the dinner and at 5:00 it was served at the Bethany Community house. In the evening there were square dances. The WP A orchestra furnished the music and Charley Pine, a custodian, called them.

Is it the beginning of a new romance? Good time was had by all at Sioux City Sunday; and Lois Wright seems to have a new flame. We'll wait and see how it turns out November 22nd. She always seems to pick on · blondes. S h i r l e y Hines seems · to be playing the field while her romance is away. The question is what will happen when he gets back?

He attended the University 9f Nebraska last year. C. 0. Morrison, former electrical trades ·teacher at Lincoln high, is attending a training school in Norton H e i g ht s, Connecticut. There he .will train for about two mon ths before being assigned to ship duty. Mr. Morrison writes that he is enjoying the work very much but that he still thinks a lot of Lincoln high. Margaret Thrailkill, '37, is teaching home economics at a high school in Anthon, Iowa. She was graduated from the University of Nebraska last spring. Victor Steputis, '39, a former Advocate reporter, is now with the Service Company, 110 Quartermaster's Regiment; Camp Joseph T . Robinson, Arkansas, Victor recently wrote the Advocate from "Somewhere in Louisiana on maneuvers.''

Indian Pow Wow In Pep Assembly Cheers were heard Friday as the Peppers put on the second "pep" assembly for the year, following the Sioux (City) Indian theme. A short sketch was given which was written by Miss Dorcas Weatherby and Miss Irene Martin, sponsors. Robed in Sioux tribal outfits, Connie McBride and'/ Peggy Hudson presented an lrtdian dance. Peppers, Betty Abbott, DeMaris · Morton and Nancy Baylor, took part as Sioux Indian squaws who paraded on to the stage and, after reciting rhythmical poems explaining the situation, attempted to cut off "Beech's", alias Marilyn Mardis's', _head. The "Spirit of L. H. S.", played by Donna Todd, pleaded for the life of "Beech" and saved the coach from the murderous intentions of the Sioux. The assembly was concluded with the entire ·group singing "Sons of the Black and Red."

.I Survey Interests Classes . Em.dish ·-·

Shown to the first period newswriting class last week were some field studies analyzing the interest of readers from various parts of the country in the different items in a newspaper. These surveys were brought by Sarah White, whose father is advertising _manager of the Lincoln Star. The surveys were made with four of the outstanding newspapers of the country. When it came to war news, about 32 percent of the m en and 10 percent of the women read it; but when a woman's name was mentioned in local events about 47 percent of the women and only 39 percent of the men. Women's advertisements, about 25 percent of the men read and 83 percent of the women. With men's clothing it was different, for about 26 percent of the men and 15 percent of the women read the advjlrtising. Sports interest about 73 percent of the men and only 13 percent of the women. It seems that about 66 percent of the readers read the comics. Ella Cinders, for instance, is r ead by 68 percent of the men and 78 percent of the women, and The Guf11.ps have a following of about 58 percent of the men and 65 percent of the women.

Sophomores Ahead In Prompt Banner Race Sophomores are leading in the :prompt banner race, with 40 home rooms receiving banners in four weeks of school. The· juniors and seniors are running second, each with 28. Home rooms receiving pennants for the week ending October 3, are 101, 102, 105, 112, 116, 121, 126A, 128, 129, 130, 131A, 131B, 132B, 133, 134, 135, 136, 142B, 144B, 145B, 203, 205, 207, 209, 213, 215, 216, 217, 221, 225, 227, 226A, 300A, 300B 30Z, 304, 309, 310, 313, 327, and 401. -At the end of three weeks of school, the battle for prompt banner supremacy found the sophomores, juniors and seniors running neck and neck, with the sophomores and seniors tied for first place with 21 each, and the juniors running a very close second with 20. 212, 215, 132B, 314, 316, 317, 303, 312, H4B, 126A, 135, 226A, 226B, 203, 205, 207, and 209 had received a bam:.er for two weeks straight, while ~'13, 132, 140, 128, 400, 100, 313, ,,,._, . 141, 101, 120, 131A, 33, 134; 142B, 145B, 20, 204, 214, 216, 217, 220, 221, 225, 300A, 300B, 317, 318, 321 and 402 had received one banner since school began.

Jack and Bob Schriener, former Lincoln high students, are employed in Denver. Jack works at the Reese Company and Bob at the Rock Montana. Envelope company. Bob is attending school twice weekly. He is taking a course in a dvance printing. Harold Gies, '41, ex-editor for the Static column, is now employed at The Lincoln Journal as a cub reporter. Hutton Webester, '29, had an exhibit of his etchings in the Paul Eldor book shop in San Francisco. He also had this same exhibit at the Joslyn Museum in Omaha, last summer. Some of his sketches which were on display were made while he was traveling in Spain. After he was graduated from Lincoln high he won a Bok scholarship in art for study in Florida. He attended the National Academy of Design for four years. He then won a Pulitzer prize which gave him money for travel in Europe. His plans now are to have an art studio of his own in Palm Springs, California, to sell his work. Shirley Helzer, former member of the sophomore cabinet, is now attending the Hoover . high school at Glendale, California. "There are eight different buildings and on t he whole it looks very much like . the University of Nebraska campus," she writes. "The cafeteria is one building, but hardly anyone uses it because we all eat outside. Everyone has the same lunch period." Bill Mack, '41, is now employed in the government civil service at B remerton, Washington.

Candidates Named By Scientists At an organization meeting of the chemistry club held Friday, October 3, seven candidates were nominated for the offices of president, vice-president and secretary.

New Pipes Installed In Chemistry Laboratory For about 15 years, pupils in the chemistry laboratory have been pouring their strange concoctions down the pipes of the laboratory. Last spring the pipes were so corroded that they just couldn't take it any longer, so it was decided that they should be replaced. The new p ipes were to be installed during the summer, but due to demands of national defense, the pipes did not arrive till the end of September. The pipes were installed and the chemistry classes have had their first labora lory work. A no ther ad cl ition to the chemistry course this year is a new textbook

.Jn The Classes

When a teacher teaches the pupil, that's not news; but when a student teaches the teacher, that's news. That was the case the other day when Jack Grainger was showing Mrs. Ruth Dodge how to oper· ate the new motion picture projector in room 306, the v~sual education room, "Pull these two levers down and push this one in," Jack would say, "before you put the film on the projector. Then warm. the machine up before turning on the light." "Let me try it now,'' Mrs. Dodge said very excitedly, as she went through the whole procedure. "Is this right, Jack ?", she would say every now and then. After running off one reel of film and then rewinding it, Mrs. Dodge assured Jack that she understood how to operate the machine and thanked him for his time and effort.

Lincoln· Tomahawks Sioux East, 21 to 1-3 BY JACK DONOVAN. Bob Smith, reserve footballer, is having one of the har dest times trying to find a sizeable headgear to fit his head· and he has about come to the point of giving up. The reason for this is that the size he is looking for is 8. Over on Northfield, Coach Marvyn Francis is running his charges through new plays, getting ready for a scrimmage with the reserves that is sure to come within a few days. Notes scribbled on the back of a crumpled and tom LincolnSioux City program: ·Elm'1" Maser was the only casualty of the evening. When he was tackling a Raider he broke a bone in his wrist or hand; it was not determined at the time in which place. One of the rarest of sport oddities occurred in the second quarter when Bob Hasbrook attempted to pass, found the ball coming right back at him as a big, burly lineman had batted the ball back at him. Bob was dazed for a moment but collected his wits enough to get back to the line of scrimmage before being rudely tossed to the ground. Coach Ralph Beechner will und<111btedly need a new hat after the game last Friday. Why! When Coach Davis rushed in his kicking specialist Kenny Jones to boot the extra point after the Raiders had scored their second touchdown, Beech was trying his hardest to pull his hat down over his eyes, but it just wouldn't go. The cheer ing at the Friday game had improved over the Curtis fray, but during the second half there wasn't a squeak coming out of the east stands. The handful of East fans seated over in the west bleachers kept that part of the stands awake as far as yelling goes. They tried their hardest to cheer their la ds on, but Lincoln was not to be denied its victory. Eddie Hall trying his first punt in a game m et with little success. A whole horde of orange colored jerseys broke through to block it.

Another w eek, another game. So it is for some schools but not for Lincoln high who will invade the land of the Bearcats Friday in hopes of bringing home another pelt for the rapidly filling trophy room. The Lincoln-Scottsbluff mix will undoubtedly be the most teeming game of the season as far as enthusiasm is concerned. The h aughty Lincoln band and a good share of the school plan to journey to the far end of the state to see the two teams tangle in their third consecutive fray. Coach Ralph Beechner's T formation users should be at full tilt with the exception of Elmer Maser. The Red and Black are str ong favorites to knock off the yet victorious Bearcats. The Links ·with two games already on the win side of the column will probably march onto the fiel(l with Jerry Regelean and Malcolm Allen at the ends; the two mainstays of the line, Gordon Hall a nd Neil McPherson, at the tackles; George Howard, Bob Keller or Ervin Starke! will open at g uard ; the 204 pound red head, Stanley Hamilton or Johnny Blumer will start at the pivot post. The backfield will again have those w iza rds of the T, Eddie Hall, Bobby Glenn, Les West and Ray Boehmer. This lineup is uncerta in, but one thing is certain that the Bea rca ts are at their lowest ebp for a number of years. The lads who caused Howard Debus and his mates all the trouble two seasons back and who f ell befor e sheer power la st year, 48 to 0, are all missing from this year's edition of the Scottsbluff eleven.

Donna Todd Sets Harriet Turner Down For Girls Links Title BY MARY JO GISH. Donna Todd's new title is now "Golf Champ," having defeated Harriet Turner, runner-up, in the stick swinging tourney last Thurs day. June Skiles and Blanche Duckworth tied for third and fourth position. The other contestants, Marilyn Behm and Gertrude Nye, were very close to pla cing reported Miss Lillian Story. Speaking of golf, how many know that this sport is of Dutch origin. but is usually identified with Scotland, where it was once forbidden to be played on · Sunday and the offenders were severly punished? Tennis, theoretically known as lawn tennis, originated in England and is often known as the royal game, the sport of kings. It was the cause of the death of Louis X of France for he died from a chill contracted while playing this game of nobility. Girls in Miss Lillian Story's gymnasium classes are learning the different ways to kick and throw a soccer ball. In a few days they will start playing speed-ball in which the different kicks and passes will be used. Beginning swimmers in Miss Helen Jo Miller's swimming classes are learning the fundamental points on swimming. Advanced swimmers will swim the last nine weeks of the semester.

First Round of Tennis Tournament Finished

To the majority of girls who don't know the first thing about the umpire's signals at a football game, this is directed. Of course, a · touchdown is signified by both arms straight up in the air (everyone knows that.) Not trying to imitate a dictator, but trying to signal that one of the sides wants time out, the umpire folds his arms. When he swings his arm back and forth, he means that a player was illegally in motion. When one or both of the teams were offside, he places his hands on his hips and when he puts his left hand on his hip and raises his right hand in salute, it means one of the players has exhibited unnecessary roughness. Holding is signified by the umpire placing his right hand on his left wrist. If each of you learn these signals, you ca.n act very w ell informed and intelligent and :surprise a lot of persons by knowing what's going on out there, instead of sounding like a regular quiz program. Many girls went out for the first speedball game Tuesday, September 30. Every Tuesday and Thursday nights these girls will participate in this sport to earn an emblem or a letter. If one att ends nine times, she will receive have an hour of credit. Because of wet grounds, the Red and Black football players were on the speedball court instead of the oval.

All Greek To Me But I Love It Just the Same W ell, here I am at my first football game. I've always wanted to see one, but never have before. It surely was funny, when I first got here some man grabbed my a ctivity ticket (I thought he w a s trying to steal it so I tried to grab it back but it was useless) , and punched a hole in it. Silly thing to do ! "Then I rushed and grabbed a seat accidentally (on · purpose) right next to the cutest blond. Af t er a few minutes had passed everyone stood up and began cheering. There, running out on the field were some boys with bright suits and big head coverings. They must have been awful cold. Then they all began doing exercises just like those I do when I get up in the morning. The game proceeded as well as I could expect, that is, all I could see w ere boys running in opposite directions and bumping into each oth e r. All of <'· sudden I i;a w something flit through the air which I thought was a bird. When the crowd screamed, the boy sit- · ting next to me infor med me it was the ball. The thing which puzzled me the most was the two big H . figured things at both ends of the field. I don' t see what they are needed for and with the defense program g oing on, meta l like the posts are m ade of is very much needed. The players must really rate. Anyway, some boy every once in a while dashes out to the players with a big bucket of something. The boy sitting next to me (the s ame one as I previously mentioned), told me it was lemonade. I wonder why they don't get sandwiches, they surely would be hungry. · All of a sudden a gun fired and all the people near me began shouting. It's the end of the game and our t eam won. Hurrah! Gee, I love to go to football games.

Thompson Only Returning Manager With but one veteran returning, the football manager situation at Lincoln high is dar k and desperate. Graduation played havoc with last year's foursome and Ed. Thompson is the only man coming back. The lifeline of any football team is the lads who lug around tJie heavy tacklink and blocking dummies besides cheqking all the equipment. This year's eleven has only three managers and one tra iner. The . managers are, Thompson , Sammy Scolaro. and Bud Ruhl. The t rainer is none other than Don Abbott, but just call him "Doc."

From there the Red and Black ·began to roll, but a pass interception blocked the first attempt for the promised land. West Romps Across on Pass. Again Coach Beechner's lads got the ball after an exchange of punts. After Ray Boehmer and Glenn carried the load, Eddie Hall s tepped back to East's 21 yard line and pitched a pass to Les West for the first touchdown. Harold Hawkins and his educated toe entered the game and booted the seventh point. From there on to U1e end of tl1e quarte1· both teams were bottled up. With the second period about half over, big Neil "Slippery" McPherson slipped through the East forward wall and blocked Bobby Hasbrook's punt on the Sioux- City 24 yard line. It was just a matter of time before Ray Boehmer drove, crashed and butted his w ay nine yards to the second touchdown. Again Harold and his toe came into the ball game and when he left the game it was, 14 to 0. Raiders Block ·Punt, Then Score. The tide soon changed. Lincoln, its back against · the wall, had to kick. With Eddie back to do the work, Howard Peterson knifed through to block the ball and fell on it on the Red and Black 17. Five plays later Dick McLaughlin rammed through the middle from the four to score the Raiders' first touchdo.wn. Ken Jones was rushed into the game to split the uprights with the extra point which he did. Second half opened with a dull and listless air and n o action t ook place until the fourth and -final stanza. The losers had worked the ball dow n to the Lincoln 25 yard line and on t he old Statue of Liberty play Bob Lee swept end a nd cut back in to go over with the second East touchdown. Again Mr. Jones entered the game and soon left sad and dejected. For Mickey Allen raced to partly block the kick and the ball rolled under the goal posts.

T lianks, Jaycees; We Had A. Gl'eat Time Deserving due credit for its work in sponsoring the Scottsbluff trip, is the Junio·r Chamber of Commerce of Lincoln. Besides paying fo1· the band's trip and arranging for the special train, . they furnished candy, megaphones and feathers for the entire group of students while enroute and also to the differen-t towns at which the train stopped. The "Jaycees'" frie-ndliness and good sportsmanship among the travelers was a great factor in promoting such a fine trip.

School Safety Survey ~de Council Committee Studies Safety Needs, Problems Of School The safety committee of the student coun cil, H. C. Mardis, principal, and E. M. Geistlinger, head custodian, made a survey of all safety problems which might endanger the students of Lincoln high, on Tuesday, October 7. Among things discussed was the possibility of painting pedestrian Jines at all important street crossings around the school. Another consideration was the elimination of bicycle riding on the sidewalk:::, which endangers everybody who is near the bicycle racks right after school. This would be made possible by the removal of a section of the curbs at each bicycle rack, south of the building. Placing of a stop sign, which cars cannot continually · knock down, will prevent cars, the drivers of which cannot see the sign, from ~ng through with out stopping and thus causing a safety hazard. This will require the painting of a curb, and may be done with the permission of the school board, and of Captain P . J. Shively, head of the traffic division of the Lincoln police departm.,nt The safety committee is composed of Len ore Beck, chairman ; Donald McArthur, Ray Simmons and Winifred Nelson.

Students Joi11 In Faculty Comn1ittees Make Changes And Additions Many additions have been made to Lincoln high standing committees.

'You Can't Take It With You' Now In Production Newspaper Greenhands Hear Editor Risks of News Gathering Told In celebration of newsweek, J ohn Erickson, assistant city editor for the Star, spolrn on newsgat hering in t hese t imes t o t wo newswriting classes Tuesday, Sept ember 7. He was introduced by Sally White, a member of the cla ss. "Americans owe a ·great debt to the war correspondents · in Europe and elsewhere," he said, "because they are constantly risking their lives to bring us news so that we can be w ell informed." Summa r zing the gradpal development of t he indust ry, Mr. Erick son stated that modern newspapers have grown up since 1900. Increased amount of advertising brought on expansion of t he newsp aper , and during World War 1, staffs were greatly enla rged. Other improvements during the past four ciecades include sports pages, photographs, tabloid papers, health, etiquette and beauty f eat ur es, comics, better science, la bor and crime reporting. "Washingt on, D. C., as a news center has r isen since 1930 when the people looked to the government to pull them out of the depression," he continued, "and I would estimate that ther e are four times as ··friany ·1'epor tei·s in t he city as then." In closing, Mr. Erickson emphasized the difference between newsgat hering now a nd in the days of the Spanish-American war. Before, the corr espondent moved with the army, w riting what h e chose. Now, in the days of censorship, information is limited, being controlled by two main types of censorship. In England everything is read before being issued, and in Germany a report er is t old what he may not say, and if he doesn't follow or ders he is first warned, and t he second t ime expelled from th e country;

THE ADVOCATE ·~·

Scottsbluff's Hospitality, It Really Can't Be Beat A challenge to promote increased sportsmanship and friendliness towards visiting teams and students should be a motive of all Lincoln high students after the fine display of these talents by Scottsbluff fans to the rooters from Lincoln on their recent trip to the west. Instead of the · "beat Lincoln" posters which were expected, iihere were ''welcome'' signs posted everywhere, one being strung up clear across main street and lit up with lights atyight. 'rhe Scottsbluff high school students also were very predominant with their courtesy. Besides having entertainment planned for this school's rooters, they furnished cars for the band, and in some instances took g·roups of Lincoln high students around through the bluffs outside of town. These fine impressions will not be quickly forgotten for they left a marked influence on the returning· students. If Lincoln high were able to produce such excellent displays of manners to visiting . schools, we would be recognized and remembered by them:

L.H.S. Pupils Honored With Fine Assemblies Pupils of Lincoln high school are very fortunate in having so many fine assemblies. To hear such speakers as J. E. Lawrence and Dr. W. K. Pieiler is a great privilege. A few of the students don't show their appreciation when they read papers and magazines or study during the assembly. Rustling of papers is disturbing to the students that are interested in what the speaker is saying. Not only is this disturbing to the pupils, but they can be clearly seen · by the speaker. If we all will give ~ore app1:eciation and attention in assemblies, we will get many more bigger and better assemblies.

Competition Starts Between L.H.S. and Northeast More than ever this year is there going to be i.nter-city competition between the larg·e high schools since the building of Nor th east high school. Northeast, which combi.nes pupil::; from Jackson, Bethany and Havelock, will be trying very hard to be city king in the different high school sports. As we all know, Jack· son always gave L. H. S. the toughest of competition in whatever sport it was playing. Coming on October 17 is the openh~g game 'ivith Northeast high and ~ve~yone will be watching to see how the begmmng of the sports between J.;. H. S. and Northeast "'.'ill be handled. It will be completely up to Lmc?ln high to get off to a good start. Not countmg the team. it~ will he up to the student body to ·help f<t.art a friendly rivafry instead of a hatred between the two schools. A good start will mean far bigger and better g·ames aml contests in the future. Of course, Lincoln high has usually hee1~ on the top of the· city sport ring beeause of having so many inore · students th~n the smaller senior high schools. If we all will st3:Y behind our team and give North~ast a ~ng show for their money, we'll keep Lmcoln high the dominating high school in the city.

._N_e_i_vs_p_a_pe_r_L_i_·g_h_ts_W_ay_to_·_F_r_ee_d_o_m___.I By Florence Wilkinson. TJ:irough the ages the press has been a great stepping stone in man's never ceasing struggle for freedom. Far back into history famous men have fought and won freedom for their people through the newspaper. We find a living example of this in two patriotic Italians who strove through their newspapers to free arid unite the people of that great country. These men, Mazzini and Cavour, each published a widely read newspaper which was responsible for the molding of the trend· of men's thoughts at that time. Cavour's newspaper, "The Awakening," served to disclose the unsatisfactory governmental and civil status of that time. In 1733 was enacted a powerful drama in the newspapers' fight for freedom against scheming politicians who, headed by 9overnor Cosby, controlled the election machinery and government of New York. A libel suit for · llfinting slander brought against John Zenger resulted in a trial which lasted for many bitter weeks, but in the . end freed Zenger and r easonably

Mr. Christopher Columbus Was Very Brave Man ' Did you know that last Sunday, October 12, was Columbus day? Yes, 449 years ago, Columbus an d his fellow adventurers discovered America, that is, if Columbus discovered America in 1492. But now let's see! Was it 1492 or 1458 that he discovered America ? Someone discovered something in 1458.; it must have been the Indian gate or America. Oh, I know! It was in 1492. My proof: In 1458, Da Gama knocked at India's gate, and in 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Well, anyhow, Columbus did discover America in 1,492. Now that that point is settled, let's continue. Columbus, for many years, had a certain goal in mind which shows us, I mean it's supposed to show us, that if we have set a certain goal, it would h elp us to be a success, like Columbus. Gee, wouldn't that be fun to sail away and find a new land with Indians waiting to greet you?

Maybe This Will Throw Some Light On The Subject "Where are t he lights? Why is it so dark?" asked many of the students entering Lincoln high, Wednesday morning. The f act was there was no electricity throughout the entire building because lightning had struck the power cable leading from the boiler to the main building, causing a short in the circuit. Because of this, lights in all the rooms and halls were· not working, and it was not possible to use the sound system for either announcing the morning bulletins cr for the speaker during the assembly. However, during second period, the circuit was completed, the lights flashed on and · H. C. Mardis then made the morning ann ouncements.

To the Editor: We P eppers realize that a long trip to Scottsbluff could not be furnished to us. Although we are supposed to have one trip a year, we haven't had one for three years, and we all feel that it 's about time ! So why not go to the Omaha South game on October 22?

Deck tennis is one of the games which the girls in Miss Lillian Story's first period physical education class are learning how to play. Before the girls started, Miss Story explained that deck tennis used to be played on ocean liners, where the motion of the ship made it impossibfo to play tennis. At first many girls found that it wasn't so easy to catch that wriggly rubber ring as it looks. Election held during the speedball class Tuesday evening resulted· in the choice of Bertha Schneider and Donna Todd for this season's captains. The two girls will choose teams which will participate in a speedball tournament. Quite a few of the girls receiving emblems for speedball last year are working ~?or· letters this year.

The A squad was again sparked by "the Keystone combination" Bob Jacobsen and Dick Bogan, quarterback and left end respectively. The A squad battled mostly on the defense the first quarter, but suddenly found themselves in the second and came within the 1 yard line no less than six times before Jacobsen dropped back and tossed the ball. into the waiting arms of Bogan unmolested in the end zone. Bogan missed the attempt for the extra point. The C squad's counter came when Ernie Lee scampered 35 yards around end. Pos. A Band C L.E. Bogan Nuss L.T. Dutter Strasheim Watson L.G. Liekam Morey c.

Congrat·ulations~ ..

BY JACK DONOVAN. John Bentley, sports editor of The Lincoln Journal, started something when he stated that the best possible way to have a better schedule for the Lincoln reserves was to change their name into something more dignified. The reason for this was, that the teams they play don't seem to like the idea of being beaten by a 11Squad Y!I., ich is referred tc:> as a

which almost shooK the people out of their seats. The Peppers enj.oyed it anct unanimously agreed :Fred could lead them in a cheer 'any time he feels like it. Jerry Regelean, Lincoln high end, believes in dreams. The night before the Curtis-Lin~oln game, Jerry dreamed that he :made a touchdown, and on the night of the game, he not only made a single touchdown, but made two of them. Dream some more like that one, Jerry. A vote of thank.s has been earned by the Lincoln high school athletic and printing departments. It is due to them that programs have been printed for the football games this year. These programs are a great help in identifying both Lincoln high players and those of the opposing team. It is probable that much extra work is done by the department for the printing of these programs and the appreciation of Lincoln high students is great. Neil McPherson seems to be allergic to publicity, for just the other day, when the. Advocate came out, he was seen in the hall viciously beating an Advocate reporter. Sports classes of Lincoln high will not have to brave the' cold winds and snow this winter as they h:i.ve been doing for many a year. Mr. Beechner has secured many films on various sports to be shown to the sport classes on cold ar!d wintry days.

BY JACK DONOVAN. Beginning of a great inter-city rivalry is in the making when Cy Yordy's Northeast clan comes across town to battle Ralph Beech· ner's Lincoln high eleven Friday evening. It will truly be the greatest game of the season although not the hardest for the Red and Black. Both teams will go undefeated into the fray with Lincoln having lopsided victories over Curtis and Scottsbluff and a triumphal win over Sioux City East, while the Black and White have scored wins over Hastings, Beatrice and Falls City. Coach Beechner is uncertain on the opening .eleven because of the :mstle and spirit the boys have :ieerl showing in practice. Jerry 1 Regelean and. Mickey Allen are sure starters at the ends and Neil IdcPherson and Gordon Hall at the tackles, but from there on the lineup is as baffling as the T Lin· coln employs. Erv. Starkel and Bob Keller have been staging one g~and war over one of the guard positions while George Howard wlll play the other one. At the pivot spot another battle is taking place between Johnny Blaomer, Jack Tilton and Stanley Hamilton. So far Bloomer has .had the nod to start, while Jack is usually placed on the second string. Ray "The Hoss" Boehmer, Bobby Glenn, Les West and Eddie Hall will probably be Lyle Weyand's backfield choice. Following is each team's record to date:

To the Editor: I am sending you a copy of the letter which I wrote to John Bentley, sports columnist for the Lincoln State Journal. "Dear Mr. Bentley : "Why do you want to change Lincoln high's name? Why don't you change Northeast's name? "Lincoln hig·h was not riamed for . the city, but for one of the United States' greatest presidents. To me that does not make Lih· coin high seein the main high school in Lincoln. Why couldn't Northeast higli be named for ii. great president also? "Although many of the la.r11;er cities are naming their school, according to their location in the city, they ate all such common or ordinih-y names. Lincolri doesn't have to follow what other cities db. "If among our· junior highs thin·e was a Lincoln junior high, you would not think . it was the only junior high in Lincoln just beca.use of its name. The other names mean just a s much to us. "Don't you think that Washi'rigton high, Jefferson high, or any nll.n'le of a president Would sound much better than Northeast high? "And too, why shouldn't the new school be named to go well with the old school instead of changing the name of the old school after so many years ? "I am . a. junior in Lincoln high and I am proud of its name and what it stands for, so please don't refer to Lincoln high as Central high." "NANCY BAYLOR."

Glendale, Calif., Student Enters Lincoln High Phyllis Patterson, former ' student of Glenda le high school, Glendale, California, is now enrolled in Lincoln high. Glenda.le high, with around 1,800 s tudents, consists of five main building·s and two s hop buildings, the · main buildings being two stoties high and the shops, one. These buiidings and the campus cover two square blocks. Phyllis likes Lincoln high's big halls and the sound system. She doesn't like our short lunch periods but enjoys having · only five cla.sses a day, as Glendale high had six period11 each 4'~ minutes long. Slot machines are placed in the halls from which apples may be obtained for fiv e cents. The gids of Glendale hig·h are r equired to wear skirts with ii sweater or blouse. Hoover high school and Glendale high, the two rivals of Glendale, play their annual football game in the Rose Bowl. Glendale's head majorette wai; the national high school baton twirlu champion a nd also st~te champion last year. "I like your paper, the Advocate," stated Phyllis. "It is larger than our paper which ii! called the Explosion. <;>ur football team is called the Dynamiters." Glen.dale high is the only high school in southern California where students are offered a course in cosmetology, a cour~e in make-up and beauty operating. Students may take the state board examination to qualify for a beauty opera.tor'!! license after completing th_i.S course.

'T' Intricacies Told Hi-Y Club 'A good definition of the "T" is ''Here it is and then it isn't," according to Coach Ralph Beechner, who spoke to the Hi-Y last Thursday night. The "T" formation is run off a balanced line with the offensive team trying to attract the other's attentiop. away from the ball carrier.' "People out Northeast way are really fo0tball minded; they eat it, sleep it, and drink it; I know because I coached out there for six: years," was Beech's reminiscence. He stated that football isn't for boys who . don't like it One has to give and one has to take. Blocldng and tackling are .t he main 'parts of football and simplicity will win the game. Ohio State used only 12 plays against Missouri while using only 15 against tl.S.C.; this gives you an idea how tl.e simpler type of football will win. Out of town trips are both char· acter building and educational. On these trips, the whole city of Lincoln is judged by the team's actions. The trip to Scottsbluff was the second longest ever taken by & L.H.S. football team. "Northeast high is· really going to have a team next year," Coach Beechner reminded. "They are going to have 14 of the 25 men suited up Friday night returning." At the business meeting of the Hi-Y, Wayne Kingery gave devotions on building a life. Friday night at 7 :30 there will be a hayrack ride which costs 35 cents a ,couple and no stags allowed. Chairmen of committees were also appointed. The chairmen are as follows: Devotional c.o mmittee, Frank Watson; finance, Dick Harpham; social, Jim Hawkins; membership, Robert Ellis; publicity, Wayne Kingery; and program, Jack Tilton. There won't be a meeting tomorrow because of teachers' convention.

Cheerleaders After many hours of figuring, the feminine cheerleaders finally decided what their new outfits should be. They are wearing the usual black skirts lined in red and ·1ong sleeved blouses made of red jersey; over which are tight fitting jerkins, with an open throat collar. These blouses zip up the side and have the L. H. S. emblem on the front. Black shoes and red anklets with L. H. S. monogramed on them complete the outfit. The boys are wearing red trousers with red and black jackets and red shoes.

Federal Taxes Claim 1001.. Of All Admissions Has anyone realized how much federal taxes mean to Lincoln high school since Oct. 1? This question was answered by Miss Effie Noll in a recent interview when she said that from the date formerly mentioned, 10 percent of all admissions are taken by the law. "This means that prices on all admissions must be boosted a cent' or fraction of a cent on each dime,". she related. "And where activity tickets formerly cost $1.75 up to Sept. 30, the price rose to $1.93 on the first day of October." .· Football games are fi5 cepts n ow and as ma ny have noticed matinee party tickets have risen a cent in price. ~ Miss Noll said that . a report must .be made at the end of each month of all taxes, and that her first figures will have reached into the $300 mark for the month of October.

Armistice Day Has New Interpretation For Vs All By LOUISE PUTNEY.

As November 1l returns once more, we al'C conscious not only of the dull feeling of so1Tow for those who fell in the last war, but a sharper feeling for those whom death has claimed in this war and those who will fall before the war is over. While once wc celebrated Armistice day as the day on which a lasting peace took form, now we can only hope that the Armistice day of the next war will truly lead to a new peace and one that will endure. 'l'he new generation understood little of the unhappiness of World war years, for the war was over before we ever knew this world and although we felt vaguely sorry, still not until now have we really been able to understand the dull, heavy cloud which our parents felt and the fortitud.e it took to stand defeat after defeat and still hope. We. hope now, as they did then, and time after time we have seen our hopes smashed, but if we can hold out as they did, then surely our hopes will be realized in the end.

Pupils Urged to Cooperate In Clean-Up Campaign By GEORGE SHAW.

''When pupils throw paper and rubbish on the floor," stated H. C. Mardis. principal of Lincoln high, to a recent meeting of the home i·oom representatives, "they are acting· like pigs, as only pig·s clutter up their own homes.'' Upon entering our building a visitor will get a bad impression of our school if the halls are cluttered up with paper and such. This is a disadvantage to us because visitors will judge us from the ffrst impressions of the building and not from our best activities. Students have cut across the grass between the oval and the building so much that a beaten path has been formed, killing .the new grass that was put in last spring. Steps are being taken by the campus committee to prevent further damage to t he grass in those particular spots. lf all the. students will cooperate by not cutting across the grass anywhere and by not throwing paper and rubbish 1n halls om school will have a :finer appearance, and a much better reputation.

This theater has the honor of being the first and only high school group and the only group outside of continental United States to be listed in the National Little Theater directory. Lincoln high girls aren't the only " drips" in the country. The fad for making your own novelty jewelry has spread, not only candle drippings are used, but according to the Franklin Talo of Franklin high, Seattle, Washington, necklaces have been made out of peach seeds, colored straws, walnut sheels, buttons, dried corn, raisins, jacks, jelly beans and squash ' seeds. One girl even went so far as to make a necklace out of kleenex, red berries and shoe strings. What will they think of next? Hershey, Pennsylvania, high has seventeen baton twirlers marching with the band this year. They all wear novelblue corduroy uniforms With white boots. East high school of Des Moines, Iowa, has a dance band. The members were chosen from schoolwide try-outs. The band plays at leisure hours and at all school parties. From the Ilongo school newspaper comes news of the school sports. activities. Basketball is played in August due to the variation in weather conditions between United States and Philippines. Bowling is another school activity, pennants being awarded to winning teams and medals to the highest scorers. Softball, track and field are p<trticipated in by both boys and girls. Soccer football is also played. Beverly Hills high school of Beverly Hills, California has a unique way of raising money to finance the Girls league activities.

·Ernest Weir , sophomore, who formerly Jived at Pratt , Kansas, only 80 miles from the famous Boot Hill cemetery, h as photographed the grave stones which bear unusual inscriptions. This cemetery, where 48 outlaws are buried with their boots on , is located in Dodge City. One grave stone bears the following epitaph : "Toothless Ne 11, shot and killed in a dance hall in 1874. Her last w ords: 'Circumstances pushed me to this end. But I nad a good mother.'" Every outlaw buried in t.his cemetery was killed with his. boots on and buried without a coffin. A sculptured head is placed on most graves to resemble the dead person. T hey are placed in such a w ay that it looks as though the head is attached to the body of the dead outlaw . Slim Pete was the first man buried in this cemetery. He was killed in 1872 and buried in the same gra'\\e with his oxen. Horse Thief Pete has as a ·head stone the tree from which he was hanged. He is remembered by

foot and another color on another foot. As a rule, the wearer matches one stocking to her sweater and the other stocking to her skirt. Each claims she has a nother pair just like it at home. Instead of using meta llic jewelry rummage around and get a lot of glass beads. String these up and make necklaces to adorn the new bright colored blouses and sweaters. Get a little Dutch girl bonnet to complete your dress-up ensemble. They come in assorted colors. A corduroy suit is very suitable to wear to scnool. Brighten it up with different colored blouses.

The story deals with the lives of the family and their boarders and the effect of the wal' on these lives. It is an outstanding ·story that will linger long in the memory because it is tragic and gay and so timeless. Nina Fedorova, herself a White Russian, has written a rare story for her first novel.

British Army Lieutenant Says English Think 1 hey're Going To Win The War 1

Lieutenant

Philip

Marshall,

physician in the Royal Army Medical Corps in London, in a · letter to Shirley Grossman's parents says the English think they are going to win this war with America's help. Dr. Marshall enlisted in the English army through the American Red Cross, and left the United States in August of this year. He was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Royal Army Medical corps and transferred to the Royal Army Medical College for one week, and was then trans· ferred to Leeds-for a training course in soldiering. "I have been at this place one week now, and believe me they surely work us," he writes. "From 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. they do their utmost trying to make a soldier out of me. I shall have two more weeks of that and then I shall be transferred to some other placeI do not know where. "As to my· impressions of the voyage and England, I probably have mentioned before that the voyag.e was uneventful. Our convoy was the largest to cross the

Atlantic in this war. · But I guess the Jerrys just couldn't get close enough to try and do any damage. However, we went far up nor th and the weather was very c0ldin mid-August. The (censo.r ed) of the voyage we . were ordered to sleep with our clothes on, and to wear out life belts at all times. "I found England, especiaily London, to carry on very normally. People seem well nourished, and fairly well clothed. There are shortages Of some articles such as sugar, butter, etc., but when you dine at a restaurant, you usually get enough, even of these items. The damage done by bombing is generally very little, except in a few spots of London, where it shows up more. "The people, though, are not at all disheartened, and ridicule the idea that bombings will tend to break their morale. Many in LDndon to.Id me that they became so used to the bombs that they used to sleep right through and wouldn't even get out of bed. There isn't a single man or woman in England who isn't sut·e that England is going to win this war-with America's help.

Total Titteration Result of Play .. Bringing the eccentric life

the Sycamore family into L. H. S• for two performances, the Mummers presented "You Can't Take It With You" for their annual play Friday afternoon, October 31, and Saturday evening, November 1. Jack Wenstrand as Grandpa Vanderhof, the creaking, lovable old man, held the major part. Dorothy James as Essie, had one sole interest in life, ballet dancing. Taking the romantic roles were Marjorie Dillman portraying Alice, who falls in love with Tony Kirby, the vice president of Kirby & Co., where she works. Kirby is played by Bill Holbrook. Grandpa's snakes and his sonin-law's, John Conkling's, fireworks livened up the entire household, and caused the whole family to be put l:n jail.. The part of the mother of the family who spent her time writing plays and painting was . carried by Mary Ann Greenwood. Taking the part of Essie's musician husband was Robert Jones. Tony's parents, the haughty Wall street broker and hLi equally Im.ugh ty wife, · were portrayed by .Donald Brewer and Betty Lou

Kemp, while Stuart Goldberg as Boris Kolenkhov, Essie's dancing teacher, provided laughs throughout the performance with his Russian accent and views on life. An old friend of Kolenkhov's, the Grand Duchess Olga Katr ina, was nicely enacted by Maurine Evenen. The parts of Rheba a.n d Donald, the colored couple, were carried by Dorothy Reilly and Robert Bush who increased the humor with their black face antics, and Mr. DePinna, the man who delivered the ice one day to the Sycamore family and never went home, was well played by Dale Wisser. The exasperated internal revenue collector, called Henderson, was Harris Barber while Robert Lesher, Willis Taylor and Charles Williams were the three "G" men. Setting in the production V,.as exceptionally fine. The outstand:ing producticn of the play was due to the di~ection of Miss Winifred Lockhart and her student director, Mny Jtan Wagner.

One of the most famous middle west outlaws, Shoot-Em-Up-Jake, is buried in this cemetery. Stone head and stone feet make it appear that he is lying with only his body below ground. His grave stone reads: "Shoot-Em-Up-Jake. Run for Sherriff 1872, run from Sherriff 1876. Buried 1876." Some of the not-so-well known but just as notorious outlaws buried there are Angelface Kid and Two Gun Jim. T wo ·Gun Heiney, a nother famous outlaw, was buried w ith his horse, In charge of this cemetery is W. B. Rhodes, 86 year old pioneer of the frontier. He had known and seen many of th.e se outlaws and there is not a question that he cannot answer. When digging to build a foundation for 1a new building, near the cemetery, a gerat many bones and skeletons were found. These were all buried in one big grave. -

Southern Tour ls Subject - Of Discussion Jack Wells told of a two month trip in 1938 thru the south, mainly Texas, Mexico and Florida, at the travel club meeting Monday, Oct. 27. He was introduced by M.. ?,r garet Hayes, president of the club. "I was v ery disappointed about Oklahoma," he said, "because oil wells were a ll over the place, on the capitol lawn, around schools, and just about everywhere. It was smelly a nd seemed very dirty all the time." At Austin, Tex., they were taken to see the university, which Jack said was the most beautiful university he had ~er seen. "The whole town was clean and attractive and looked very peaceful," he said, "and all the people I saw looked very well dressed." The next stop of interest was San Antonio, Tex., and w hile there they stayed at .a tourist camp with a swimming pool. It was too early to fill the pool, but since it w ould open soon, ·the man who owned the tourist camp filled it for Jack to Jet him swim. The water was about 40 degrees above zero and he caught a severe cold. Also at San Antonio he sa,w the national i;olf t ourna.rr..cnt .

Forum To the Editor: Why isn't it possible for Linc oln h \g·h t u have more student activiti~s ? I .can't t hink of .u.y activ· ity in our scaool which brings the classes together with t he exception of olympics. Thel'e is no such thing as a junior-senior prom or banquet or anything else between the classes. O~her schools have many such activities. For instance, at Fremont high they have what they call a Hare and Hound hunt between juniors and seniors. They go in trucks fo the country for the hunt, after which they return to town for re· f r eshments and a dance. I don't mean that we should have exactly the same things as other schools, because I am sure some of the students in our own s chool have grand ideas for such activities. Can something be done about this? Maxine Miller. Ed. Note: The Fremont high school is much smaller than Lincoln high. It would be a much harder j'o b to put over such an affair.

Honors Given To· Graduates Webb, Weil, Wilson, Good, Tops in Classes At Their Universities Distinguished honors have been bestowed on former Lincoln high school students in eastern colleges. The John Sumner Runnells memorial has been awarded to David M. Good, now in the junior class at Amherst college in Massachusetts. This prize scholarship is awarded only to one member of the sophomore class at Amherst. This member, selected by the trustees of the college, ~ust be, in their opinion, the most preeminent in his zeal for knowledge and industry to attain it. Robert Weil was rep~rted to be . in the upper five per cent of his junior class at Yale university. Herschel Webb, '41, who is attending the University of Chicago, placed the highest in· his advisory group in the freshman English test. "I think this university is a marvelous place," said Herschel in a letter to .Miss Sarah T. Muir'. "On the whole there aren't as many hours spent in classes as in' most schools, but they expect you to do most of the heavy work outl!lide." In addition to attending univer· l!ity, Herschel is working at Mar1hall Field's department store. A letter from the dean of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at Cambridge, Massachusetts, says that a former Lincoln high student, Richard D~dley Wilson, is in the upper fifth scholastically, of .the sophomore class.

Miss Farman told of the publicity bureaus in New York City and their relationship to t he press. She said that the British News service is one of the .best informed. When the A. P. office ctlled it for any detail about the ,British it could s upply it. "The publicity bureau s are al·ways glad to help the A. P. with pictures and models," said Miss Farman. "The bureaus send representatives around once or twice a week with news material but if the A. P. doesn't feel it wants it, the publicity people don't force it. Thus, they are always welcome and very often the material is used. "

In. celebration of National Book Week, Nov. 2 thru 8, the Lincoln high library has in the display cases, books of interest to everyone, w hich cover a wide range such as dog stories, spor ts, democracy, vocations, etiquette and reading just for fun.

That year when the American Booksellers association met, this sco.ut librarian spoke to them about this condit.ion. A national campaign was started, interest grew and book week became a regular part of the school y ear. This · year's slogan is "Forward With Books."

Duplication of South Game. The game was almost a duplication of last week's game with Omaha South as far as the scoring is considered. It was nearing the end of the first half when Gene Kirkendall flipped his first pass to Jerry Regelean on the 17 from the Tech 32 yard line where the drive started. On the next play Kirkendall passed again to Regelean on the 5. A penalty of 5 yards then put the Red and Black back to the 10, but not for long, as Gene let go with his third pass and Regelean grabbed it off in the end zone. It was also three passes from Kirkendall to Regelean with only a minute and a quarter to go that · provided the tally against South. After the touchdown, Harold Hawkins was rushed into the game and his try for the point split the uprights. Tech First to Threaten. Tech was the first to threaten ill the first period and had forced its way to the Lincoln 2 yard line before being stalemated. The threat resulted when Les West's punt, deep in his own territory was blocked by Tech's Don Gilbreath, and Tech took over the ball on Lincolil's 11 yard line. Not until Bud Freeman had picked up 4 yards and George Howard had stopped two thrusts at his guard positic:i was the threat stopped, when Boehmer and Hall shoved Rutledge out ·of __ . _b~, ul"l.cl;; o.n tho') t ,in.1{.q ' 2 ya.rd li nP.

serves invaded the north field realm Thursday, October 30, and emerged victorious by a count of 12 to O. Altho victorious, the Northeast c.l an suffered the loss of its talented .t riple threat tailback, Roland Delaney. After. setting up the pins for the first touchdown, with several successful line thrusts, Delaney was carried from the game several plays later with a leg injury. No scoring was done in the second half. However, north field threatened more than once, but did not have the finai push to score against its larger opponents. North field will play the College View reserves next. They previously defeated them by a score of 7 to 6. The Lincoln reserves will entertain the Northeast reserves in the near future, and Joe Toman, mentor, expect's his proteges to furnish more than stiff opposition for the Northeasterners.

Designs Wanted For Horseback Emblems BY HELEN DEITRICH. Last night the girls gymnasium held open house. During the evening there were demonstrations of badminton, shuffle board, and paddle tennis. Other games and equipment were i>n display. Also post" ers of the modified groups were shown; The pool and dr essing rooms were open for inspection. WANTED! Girls that will draw designs for a horseback riding emblem. Any girl , with artistic ability should submit her designs to Miss Lillian Story. Candy, peanuts and popcorn a re the, cries of ten G. A. A. girls at each football game. The girls selling candy are Marie Bowma,n, Lucille Cota, Luella Cota, Eileen Debus, Marilyn Mixson, Betty Poter, Doris Quinn, Evelyn Schneider, June Skiles and Pat Holm. If you want a way to mark chalk boundaries on the floor w ithout breaking your back, just try this method. The only equip· ment you need is a piece of chalk a nd two girls. One girl lies on the floor with the chalk in her hand, the other girl takes hold of the girls' feet and pulls her across the floor. The only trouble w ith this is to try to keep from dusting the floor at the same t ime. The Speedways came out victorious· in the :first period Tuesday and Thursday, speedball tournament.

Captains of t he second period Tuesday and Thursday class teams are, Marcella Sehnert ; Huskerettes ; P atty Coulter, Hornets; and Marie Weidenkeller, the Jumping Jives. The teams have each won three games, so the winner was decided by the team with the highest total score. Winning by twelve points, Margery Coulter's Coulterites defeated Shirley Osborn's Osbornites. The score was 48 points for the Coulterites and 36 points for the Osbornites. The Coulterites consist of Betty Bach, Loretta Edstrand, Dorothy Ekbald, Alice Gabel, Dixie Lowder, Florence Pachman, Mary Smith and Doris Vryheid. Talking about speedball, t he a fter-school speedball tournament started last night, November 4. Attention! All table tennis fans. Better start practicing up for the tournament· which will start towards the end o~ November. Five events will be scheduled, singles, doubles and mixed doubles. This is the last warning for those girls that leave their purses ca relessly lying around the gymnasium. There is a place to check them, so why not use it? You and you alone will be the only loser if your 'purse is ever missing. Last week several girls found that their purses and been t aken care of, a few appreciated this, the others will have to learn, "It's better to be safe than sorry."

Uncle Sam Gets Another Links Fred Tunberg, class of '39, who has been in Camp Robinson for ten months, visited Lincoln high Monday, Oct. 13, during a 15 day furlough. He had been with the national guards since May, before . he entered camp with them on Dec. 23, of last year. :fv.Ir. Tunberg, as well as most of the Nebraska guards, is in the medical corps. His work is giving medicine prescribed by the doctors and taking reports and general care of the patients. "There are three tents," he added, " that house the patients." ' I n three months there were 1600 patients, most of whom were accident cases. Most of the accidents were caused by night driv_ing without lights during blackout maneuvers. He stated that he gets up at 5:45 every morning and he is off duty .at 5:30 in the evening. During that time, besides his medical work, he does the regular duty, the drill work and guard duty. In camp, he said that they had plenty of exceptionally good food and recreation. H e added that he himself went in for football and often contests were held between the different companies. When he leaves camp, Mr. Tunberg hopes to enter university to prepare tor pre-medical school. His brother, Lee, class of '36, who is also doing medical work at Camp Robinson, has .already complete<;! three years in pre-medical schocl.

Players Mired Down In South High Game extr-emcly ·ha;:,.r-:lous. undertaking was attempted by the respective football squads of Lincoln high and Omaha South. This was the courageous navigation of a lake·like field with a ball which after three plays fail ed tq arise for air. The game was interesting from the spectators' standpoint only when the participants were. counted after every series of plays. After a player had fallen in the muck he was extricated only through t he combined efforts of his team mates. It was amazing to . witness, · however, that the ferry on the South 30-yard line lake was la:te but once the entire afternoon. Passengers on this excursion boat were ordered to wear life preservers for fear of striking an island of inundated footballs. They had waddled to the middle of the lake refusing all efforts to be dislodged. It was intarestlng to note that nothing of importance was washed .upon the beach. Many spectators claimed as high as three participants had been sucked beneath the waves · on one play alone. Only the undying efforts of the Coast Guard, local 431, saved panic and calamity from bursting forth. A note of thanks should be sent this reliable organization. An

Chall{ Up 33-0 Score Beatrice Fails To Threaten Sparked by a 98 yard run by Bob J acobsen, the Lincoln h igh reserves swamped the Beatrice r eserves, 33-0, on the Beatrice f ield Oct. 21. From the mid-point of the first quarter, to t he end of the game, t he Lincoin r eserves had the g ame well in hand, not only on offense but also on defense. The scoring started in the closing of t he first period when Ra lph Leikam, sophomore fullback, took a fumble out of the air arid r an 15 yards for a marker. The ext ra point was scored by Donald Heidenreich on a blast t hr u center. Beatrice Kicks to Coffin Corner. The second counter came when Beatrice t ried a k ick from the L inks' 35 t o the offin corner. Rabbitba ck 'Bob' Jacobsen took the ball on his own two and under fine blocking ran t he rest of t he way for a t ouchdown. The try f or extra point failed, when Jacobsen fumbled the pass from cent er . The t hird tally was also put over the double stripes by J acobsen, who, t his . t ime, car ried it around end from t he 20 yard line. D avey Krcmarik made the extra . marker good, by going thru the middle of t he line. Third Stringers Add No. 3. By t his time t her e were only a few minutes left in the s econd quarter, and t he second stringers had the ball .n estled deeply down in Beatrice's own. territory, so Coach Joe Toman sent in his "C" string, who, with haste, made an-

other tally.

Play, Sleep And Come To School Establishing good study habits was the topic of H. C. Ma rdis, principal, at the orientation assembly Tuesda y, October 21. Mr, Mardis st ressed the fact that good food and r ecreation, other than listening t o the r adio or reading a book, and also plenty of sleep, are essential factors in doing good classwork. "Wri~e out your a ssignment," Mr. Mardis s tat ed, "and be sure you undt:·;:;~and it before you leave the classroom." At the assembly October 28, Mr. Mardis discussed t he laws that govern school attendance. He stressed the fact that it is really up to .the school to excuse an ab~ sence, not up to the parents. Mr. Mardis also stated that if a pupil is a bsent from school for other r ea sons than illness in t he family, and h as not been excused by the school, but his parents know he is absent, he and his parents . are violating the l aw. Bill Anton, who joined the navy, has completed h is training at the Great La kes and is now stationed in Corpus Ch risti, T exas, where he is training t o t ake a position as a gunner's mat e.

BY PERRY BRA NCH. Joe Toman's reserves h ad some new faces in t heir midst recently. "Due t o t heir fine showing of speed arid blocking Saturday morning against reser ves, I have g iven the following boys another chance for reserve ball," st ated Toman. "The boys are R obert H oadley, Donald Frickel and Rober t Smit h." I t won't be long now until the s wimming team will be splashing up and down the pool under t he guidance of its n ew coach, Ma r vyn Francis. Under the leader ship of th e for· mer coach, H arr y Kuklin, w\10 is now teaching at a government school in the P a nama Canal Zone, the Red and Black won two state championships in the t wo yea rs he was here. Incidentally, Mr. Kuklin coached the t eam t o the first championship ever won by Lincoln high .since t he - beginning of t he spor t here ..

It will be a strong Lincoln team r isking a s potless record aga inst Omaha Central Nov. 2 in the L in• coin high oval. If t he Red and Black emerges victor ious it will m ean the Missouri valley championsh ip. Other· wise the school will share it with Sioux City Central. Central battled to a 0-0 dead· lock with. Omaha Nor th last week on a snow covered field, but the previous week it routed t he highly tooted Abe Lincoln h ig h school of Council Bluffs all over the field, even tho it won by only the thin ma rgin of 7-0. Last yea r the Lincoln high eleven sneaked by Central w ith a lone touchdown in a r ather unimpr essive game, as both t eams lacked that all importa nt offensive spark when they n eared scoring territory. · I n six previous s tarts Cent ral ha s t ied two, lost one, and won three, as t he Links r ecord is flawless. Starting the game Friday will probably be Jerry Regelean and Mickey Allen at the end position, if that leg of Allen's ill still in good shape. · McP herson and Gordon H all a re apparently sure st arters at the tackle positions, and a fter the fine showing of the two · guards, I rv Starke! a nd George Howa r d, in Omaha last week, it look.s as if t hey will be slated to start with Johnny Blumer betw een them at center. The same power house backfield of Glenn, West, Boehmer and H all, will probably be employed. Comparative r ecor ds to date: L incoln 4 6 Curtis

Education For A Strong America Is Necessity BY BARBARA BASYE

"Education for a strong Amcl'ic~t! ·" 1'hat js the slogan of the American Educatio11 w~ck for 1941. 'l'his import:rnt week began N ovember 9 and continues through November 15. If one would stop and think about t his topic for a while; he would realize that one of the main necessities to build a great Ameri ca sttong is education. "Gee whiz, I don't want to study. J sure wish I could quit school." Thi(ol may he heard often in every school' but most pupils don't really mean it. Education, the American way, is one of the greatest benefits given any perso:n dminghis life and full advantage should be taken of it. Therefore this Amerh~ari Education week should not be taken as ;just an ordinary week, hut as a special week everyone should observe. In the November 5 Advocate, Ralph Batty, now in the army air corp, advised all pi.lpils to complete their high schol ed,ucation. B;e said he had never appreciated anything so much as his education when he became a niemher of the air corps.

Old Quotation Illustrate~ Present Health Conditions BY B ARBARA HOEVET

In time of w!>.r ld crisis like today the prob· lem of building physical fitness is ·, very important. If we are going to be able to get tbe p roper education that is needed to be of use · in running the government tomorrow, we must see that we are physically fit nQw. auilding physical fitness means not just taking good h~alth for granted but having physical examinations regularly. Som~times minor defects which are ove,rlooked can become much more serious. If persons are warned o! these minor defects, they should take t hem setiously and do som'ething about them, in11tead . of letting them go. Many invaluable discoverie11 have been made which have not only made the, human race healthier, but foCl'eased the span of life. If these discoveries had not been made, quite possibly we would .not be a.ble to live long enough to take advantage of th~ great opportunitie!I offered us. So, instead .o f tal;cing our phy~ical fltness for granted, why don't we heed the old saying "An 6unce of prevention is worth a pound of cure1"

Is You~Lunch Period Spent Hurrying Abo11:t? By JANICE CAMPBELL.

Ill the daily half-hom ~et aside fol' lunch in Lincoln high 's cafeteria an enjoyabie time to you? Most people would answer this in the negative, with good reason. Generally students race madlv from ·their third p eriod classes t o the 1!afet~ria. in order to be certain of ha.vin~ .ll. good seat, or simpJy a sea.L After hvrriedly gulping their food they find they still have 10 to 15 minute!! left, $.nd, thi!! the average student spends roaming the halls which simply adds to the general" eonft\sion of the lunch perfod. This is not a good situation from the stand point of health or safety. Let's all try to make our lunch period more enjoyable either . by leaving the buildiu g after eating or going· to a, room which is set aside for games in order to lessen the confusion in the halls. With your cooperation a happier atmosphere can 'be created at lunch time... .

Has Rubber Studying the importance of ruhber to the United States national d.e fense has been the topic of discu~ion in Mias Doris Kluver's third periQ,d distributive trades class. Also how rubber and synthetic rubber materials are made, have been studied. They fo11nd out that the factories of the United States don't have to worry for quite awhile, because this country has a sufficfent supply of rubber r aw material!! to last our manufacturers llnd Great Britain for her needs for the war for at ieast one year without importing any more. The pupils of the class brought in articles showing the production of synthetic rubber materials is now emerging from the experimental ·stage and commercial production is getting under way. So now the manufacturers will use synthetic rubber whenever they can and save the pure rubber. Synthetic rubber is made out of limestone, coal and salt.

"Many common problems have to do with routine in the home," continued Mrs. Putney, "some examples are getting up, getting in at night, money and clothes. Another problem in the home is the difterences in per.!lonality." "Very often members of the family do not understand what a.nother member does or says," related Mri8, Putney. Questions such as, "What should one do when a little brother keeps teasing you ? " or "Do you think parentl!I should wait up when a girl gets in late?" were discussed by Mrs. Putney and the g·roup.

Board Building

Nears Completion

The new board of education building at Twenty-Second and G streets Is rapidly being completed. All of the old ventilators have been replaced and plastered shut and practically a ll of the windowr; installed. There are now two scaffolds, one on the north end of the building, elevated by manpower, with the aid of pulleys, and the one on the east side powered by steam.

The basement is a source of much labor as it is excavated only a small part of the distance from the south end to the north end of the building. There are a switchboard and two furnaces installed so far, and all the lifts for the book rooms are being completed.

The .Lincoln team, having copped the Missouri Valley championship last week in taking Omaha Central 25-0, will be fighting for mythical state champion11hip honors along with an undefeated, witied season. On the other hand, Grand Island will be trying for its first victory in eight starts, having dropped the first · seven games . by decisive 11cores this season. Grand Island has chalked up a total of only 12 points, while its opponents have racked up an average 6f 13 points per game, or a total of 91 points. Last weeks trouncing of 25·0 which was -given to Grand Island at the hands of Creighton Prep, who had recently been trimmed by Northeast of Lincoln, 20-6, makes the Red and Black's chances for the state championship very bright.

Journey To 01nal1a To Play 01naha Tech Reserves Defending their record of being undefeated in their one game this season against the Beatrice reserves, the Links reserves travel to Omaha to battle the Omaha Tech reserves in their final classic of the season on November 14. Last year the reserves came out on · top of the Tech reserves by a 19-0 score on the Red and Black's field. That reserve squad now composes about half of the first string starting lineup ·Which has helped chalk up a great record for Lincoln high this . year. After a short scrimmage with the Colle.g e View team last Monday, Coach Toman has a better idea as to what boys will start the game at Omaha. The lineup will probably have Harry Fox and Dick Bogan at the erids while Marvin Epp and Harold Becker will probably hold down the tackle positions. The guarrls may be Frank Watson and another as yet undecided, with Tom Morey at center. In the backfield will probably be Donald Heidenreich, Ralph Leikom, Don Pickerill and Bob Jacobson.

Northeast Has A Huge Ta~){ Leadership~lass WHI Frame Com;titution And By-Laws For School To frarne a school constitution and by-laws is one of the huge tasks confronting the leadership class as found out by Winifred Nelson when she visited Northeast high school. The leadership class.. one of the few in the country, is composed of elected home roorn presidents and students who have 1u1 active interest in it. Each president carries reports of projects to his home room, where he takes. a poll of opinion. This vote is brought back to the leadership class where final consideration is given a project before it is submitted to the faculty senate committee for approval. The safety committee is recommending certain through-str eets and placement of stop signs to the city traffic division. Besides these, there are eleven other special committees. A vote has been taken on whether' to form a pep club and establish a year book. The nick· name Rockets was approved by the boa:td of education over the other suggestions, Pirates and Raiders, for the school's nickname.

Lincoln High Lad With Some Luck Wins The Prizes Don't call him Bob Avner, just call him "Lucky." He can't enter a contest without walking away with ·a prize. Both he and his lit tle brother won bicycles in a contest at a local theater some time ago. Last year just to see if he still had that certain touch, he entered a football picking contest and came away with sixth place and a flashlight. Very disgusted he tried to redeem himself this year and picked 9 out of 10 winning teams and seldom missed a score by more than one point. He received an $11 car battery for this amazing feat. Never enter a contest that Bob Avner has entered, you can't get better than second.

Upperclassmen Victo1·s In Girls Speedball Tourney Orcliesis To Perform For G. A. A. Nov. 20

Lyle Weyand, Lincoln high's new basketball coach from Bethany high school, announced recently that as he knew only a few of the prospective players. including three returning lettermen, he would not comment on Lincoln high's basketball prospects this early in the season. "I will say one thing," added Coach Weyand to an Advocate reporter, "Lincoln high has one thing, and that is height." The first night of practice, which w ill be called · as soon as the inter-school basketball tournament, which begins November 20, is over, will find about 25 or 30 prospects showing their ability be· fore Coach Weyand. This squad will be composed of the three returning lettermen, Eddie Hall, Allan Bloom and Dem McArthur; the 13 members of last years reserves; a few recommended players from the sophomore team; and a few picked at large from the interschool tournament. "Then comes the job of cutting this squ ad," admitted Coach Weyand, "but it is necessary as I will only carry about a 12-man squad." The team will practice at Whittier junior h igh, the same as last year. "There is · some v~ry good materiai in last year's reserve squad," continued Coach Weyand," as I found out when my Bethany team played against. them." The schedule for 1941-42 is as follows:

Despite the cold weather, the first round of the speedball tour· nament was played last Thursday. 'l'he upperclassmen defeated the sophomore team 4 to 2. This was the first game of a three game series. Because of the cold weather many of the girls had warm pajamas under their slacks. Members of the sophomore teams are : Ermajean Blado, Maxine Campbell, Dorothy Ekbald, Doris Feth, Bernice Freeauf, Maxine Kennedy, Evelyn Schneider, Mary Smith, Lois Bailey, Betty Jergens, and Mildred Heston.

Due to bad weather, t he Lincoln high tennis champion is yet to be decided. Of the or iginal twelve bays that started in the contest, only four remain. These are Don McArthur, Bob Klinert , Charles Raw son and Phil Oxley. After the recent bad weather it is now doubtful w h e t h e r the tournament will be continued. This is because with the coming of cold . weather, the courts will prabably not be marked for play.

In e ithe r case he surely made it uncomfortably cold for t he crowd and p raye rs at the Lincoln high-Omaha Central game last Friday.

Few of us realize how important water is in our lives. Have you ever stopped to think what you would do without water to drink? Here are a few facts that are not generally known about the pumping station on A s treet. The first building was built in 1904 and was rebuilt in 1923. There are t hree main lines goin g out into the city, and the size of these are 24-inch, 16-inch and 12-inch. In norma l weath er between six and seven million gallons of water p er da y are pumped; in the summer months, about 15 million gallons per day. The most w ater that has ·been pumped in one day is between 21 and 22 million gallons. There are kept on hand about 20 million gallons. In the . winter it would take Lincoln three or four days to use this up, but in the summer it t ak es . only 24 hours. Ashland and the Lincoln cit y health department s test the water several times a week. It is tested mainly for typhoid and other bacteria. ·There a re three turbines with the total horse power of S,900. Each one of these turbines cost s around $150,000. The supply pipes f r om Ashland are 36 inch es and hold eig ht million gallons of water.

Portraying some of the burly players of Lincoln · high's football squad, the Peppers presented a pep assembly Friday, November 14. The lineup for the backfield was Alice Abel as Ray Boehmer, Ruth Heidrich as Bob Glenn, Elain Spomer as signal caller Ed Hall, and Coleen Kahok as Les West. A sturdy line of Barbara Emerson for Mick Allen, Mary Clare Philliips as Gordon Hall, Ann Abel as Irvin Starkel, Jane Spomer as John Blumer, Leslie Metheny for George Howard, Ann Phillips as Neil McPherson and Joan Forney as Jerry Regelean furnished the forward wall of the team. The powerful backfield showed how the "T" fonnation should be played and four of the players then did a chorus girl dance after which "T" was served in milk bottles by Dorothy James to the team. Nancy Baylor, as the villian, Grand Island, sneaked on to the stage determined to have her way in the evening's fray but was quickly overpowered and for.c ed onto crutches. The script for the assembly was written and prepared by a committee of Alice Abel, Mary Clare Phillips, Kay Kahok and Sally White, Jeanne Inhelder is the accompanist for the ·•pep" assemblies this year. Peggy Shelley has assisted ehr in some assemblies.

The cast is: Mr. Hardcastle, Robert Eaton; Mrs. Hardcastle, Jean Marie Zehrung; Kate Hardcastle, Bette Heckenlively; Young Marlow, Eugene Tedd; and Tony Lumpkin, James Hackman. Miss Ethel Bryant and Mrs. Erma Coombs, sponsors, are directors. "She Stoops to Conquor," by Oliver Goldsmith, shows the difference in customs of today and· yes• teryear, particularly in marriages. As shown in the play, Mr. Hardcastle arranges for Young Ma rlow to marry his daughter, Kate, Young Marlow strats on his way to meet Kate, only he is intercepted by Tony Lumpkin, cunning and mischevious, who gives the impression that the Hardcastle home is a wayside inn. This leads to a mixup with a ll the characters misunderstanding each other. This play was !irst produced in 1773 and is said to have been founded on an incident in the author's life.

New Student. Finds Good Illustration of De1nocracy By

Louise

Arm5t1·on:-

Kot so long ago, we discussed in class whether or not Lincoln high school 1vas democratic. Of course we all have a right to our own opinions, but thoug'l1 I am new here and might be inclined to be prejudiced, [ believe it is highly democratic. There are many good illustrations of its democracy. The students all wear clothes of uniform styles and price. I don ' t mean that it is required, but most of the students wear clothes that are moderately priced, regardless of their financial standing. Along with this money situation comes the common practiee of bring·ing one's sand·wich or lunch to school. In many plaC:es a student who carried his lunch to school would be looked down on, but here everyone honestly admits that it helps to conserve one 's allowance. Many of the students are fortunate in that they have their own cars to bring to school. But thev don't. stress that fact to the point that it m~kes them appear conceited; rather, they confess how fortunate they feel to be able to bring a car. Dates for football g·ames, matinee parties and plays are always a nice thing to have, but the students here seem to maintain the attitude that it's certainly no disgrace to attend one of these functions with a group of girls. All in all I believe Lincoln high is democratic and I 'm proud to be a student h er e.

CLA$S Clowns, Dancers and Plenty of Fun Change Auditorium Into Circus Tent For Color Day Clowns, dancers, snake charmers and elephants plus a cascade of color transformed the auditorium into a circus tent this morning when the Class of 1942 presented the Senior Circus before the annual senior color day assembly. Against a brilliant backdrop of maroon and gold, sen ior class colors, Jack Wenstrand portrayed the part of master of ceremonies or barker as known in circus lingo, and ably a nnounced the various acts, aided by the band. Yes! A real live circus band which played throughout the program, emphasizing the contortions of W ayne Arnsmeir, Harris Barber, M a di s on Brinkman, Shelly Bulin, Harold Donis, Darwin Fredrickson , Walter Goodbrod, James Griffith, Frank Marsh. Charles Munson, Bili Splichol and Ernest Trumble. First on the program was the Rollicking Rollers, Bob Limpp and Bob Kuehn who perform some darir<g acts on sik:ates. Next was the One Man Barra ge or A Man Sh o t O ut r,f n Cannon co mpo~ e d of Sam and Bob Avner and Jim VanHorn. (How lucky the ticnior clas s is to have a set of twins in its midst.)

Personalities of many young men will show a definite change because of the selective service training , is a belief of Miss S. Adelia Winter, assistant principal at Irving junior high school. She believes that the disciplina ry t raining will do a great deal to straig hten out boys w ho have never had any responsibility or training for good citizenship. Discussing the average junior high school student 's reactions in t his war as compared to a student's reactions in the last war, Miss Winter stated, "In 1917 the pupils were concerned by seeing their brothers and fathers marching off to s ervice. Now , they d iscuss t he news of the war as they h ear it in their homes a nd try t o realize just how it concerns them. "' Miss Winter explained the three general groups of students w h0 have tra its of leadership in junior high sch ool. "In one group," she said, "there are those students who m ay not be top notch leaders in j unior hig h , but they get their sta r t/ \Jere and g'l on to become lcadc\rs in high school and college.

This theme w as carried out at an assembly, the dinner and the dance. The songs were, "And the Band Played On," "There's a Long Long Trail" and "Sweet Jenny Lee.

Best Way To Gi·ve Thanks ls Thanksgrving Question Thanksgiving is here once more, and once more people all over the United States are giving thanks. There a.re many things people are thankful for this year-big things too. nfost people are thankful for a free country , a land that's not at war and above all, plenty of food and clothing. Lots of people will go hungry and cold this year but not many of them will be in our country, that is. if those who have what they need, give t o those who have not, ;just as they have done in the past. 'rhis tradition of helping the more m1fortunate, as a way to express our gratitude for what we have, has been an essential feature of Thanksgiving for years, and yet by our early forebearers who originated the idea of giv ing thanks to God for all he had provided them with, it might not be looked upon with such favor. Our pilgrim fathers strong, just and upr ight, nevertheless did not favor helping those of another religion who had not been as industrious as they. · Many p eople in .America today seem to follow with this narrow view, and yet those same people would he the first to insist that. they believe in Thanksgivin g in the sense . of giving· thanks to God. Yes, t~1ey want to grve. thanks to God. but never rcahze that the most. .;H-'•(·\'i-.·•" ''."·'' "·coulrl he- 1.-. l1dp thcit· h1·othel'

Colorful Mexico Invites Our Good

Miss Agnes Tells That Health Comes First On Road to Beauty

Neighbor Policy Pranks, Music, Painting Are Topics of Clubs "The good neighbor policy means a lot more to me since I took a trip to Mexico and became better acquainted with our southern sister than it did before, and I have more respect for the Mexicans," stated Miss Elizabeth Grone at the November 10 meeting of the travel club, at · which 1he showed colored slides. In the cities, the ancient buildings contructed by the Aztecs are a contrast to the building of extreme. modern structures next to them. The buildings are built up next to the cobblestone street, and houses are made of brightly colored plaster.. To. compensate for their lack of front yard, beautiful patios or courtyards are placed in the center of the houses. When the Mexican goes to town, he walks or takes his donkey. The women walk very gracefully. Miss Grone attributed this to the carrying of heavy objects on their h~ads.

The open market in the city is always colorful with its blankets and tablecloths hung side by side and the baskets spread on the streets.

and his pupils' work. "Threes are the most difficult to paint," was the opinion expressed by Mr. Sorby, "as you must see the mass or volume of leaves." Mr. Sorby stressed the necessity of leaving parts of the white pigment Of the paper showing thru on a painting as it gives freshness and sr.arkle to the picture. The fact that a true water color artist cannot afford not to make quick sketches when he sees a scene which gives him the urge to paint was a lso stressed.

School of Air Discuss "Housing for Defense" "Housing for Defense," was the topic of discussion on the American School of the Air, Friday, November 14. The pupils participating for Lincoln high were Eleanor Edison, acting chairman, David McShane, Jean Schlesselmann and Marylouise Kennedy. During their discussion many facts were brought out about hous· ing for defense in the state of Nebraska, at the present, the sites of Omaha and Wahoo. Cost, upkeep and livability of their houses were discussed.

College pranks and class-consciousness were among subjects discussed' at the Forum meeting Monday, November 10. Betty French talked about college pranks and Jim McEachen tackled the problem of class-consciousness. After a talk by Charles Bouwsma, · Phyllis Johnson reviewed the booklet, "Here Today -Gone Tomorrow."

Early Music Is Topic Early American music was the theme of the clef club meeting, Thursday, November 13. Mary Ann Lofink. vic<'>-president" and chairman of the meeting, introduced Marjorie· Waggener w ho played a piano solo, "Swinging the Biues."

BARBARA SCHLATER

Christopher Columbus had the first head of bobbed hair, according to Miss Agnes Schmitt of t he Cornhusker Beauty .shop when she spoke at the joint meeting of the home economics and business girls clubs Monday, November 10, on hair styles and good grooming. She t hought that short h air has always been the favorite hair style. "Beauty and the foundation of beauty is health," continued Miss Schmitt. "No matter h ow much make-up one applies, it cannot be attractive if there is not health behind it ." Miss Schmitt told the girls that p ersons of this generation wash their hair too much. .She advises girls to wash their hair about every · two or three weeks. Some of the beauty hints Miss Schmitt gave were t o apply l ipstick exactly the shape of one 's lips, to sleep without pillow to help avoid a double chin and to brush one's hair very often, brushiig from the scalp out. "Bangs are npt ideal for children as they cause them to blink, and sometimes to wear glasses," continued Miss Schmitt. Miss Schmitt, a local beauty operator, demonstrated attractive hair styles on several of the g irls. She concluded by telling the girls not to try to imitate someone else but be themselves, that is to be natural.

Department Head Submits Protest Miss J essie B. Jury, head of the Latin department, wishes to register protest to the limerick in last week's Advocate in which Robert Jones has nothing good to say of Caesar. She offers a similar limerick written by Louise Putney when she was a member of the Caesar class. This seems a little more generous. Long ago when Rome was new .. "Dear" Caesar wrote a book or two Which, throwing votes in his direction Saved the day for his election. Now those days are gone and past Since Caesar's power did not last, His books which then did sway the masses Now fascinate our Latin classes.

Buying Christmas Seals Builds Health Lighthouse If y ou should receive a letter in t h e mail tomorrow with a lighthouse design in a wintry setting on the envel ope, don't throw it away for an advertisements. Look again and yon will see the tuberculosis cross in the corner of the picture. The contents of t he letter ·will probably b e the request for the buying of Christmas seals, a campaign which is carried on annually. Don't let t he request go unheeded. These seals are special and the money may cure some p erson of tuberculosis so that he may go out into the world with out being t rail ed by death. 'rhe lighthouse on t h e seal is a symbol of safety and serves as a guide for s hips coming into port. The earliest lighthouses were those m aintained by priests in lower Egy p t . .As navigation increased, lig hts were kept burning all night throughout t h e then known world to guide ships away from dangerous points. 'l'he lighthouse keepers were often dependent for the bringing of food and clothing to desolate points on t h e outsi d e world, ther efore the posts were d anger ous. When the United States became a nati on, ther e w ere 12 lighthouses scatt ered along the Atlant ic coast. Now we mainta in several thou sand lighthouses, ships, buoys, radio beacon s a nd signals. Science h as also constru cted many "lighthouses" to a id in its discov er ies. 'l'he tuberculosis seals are important means of killing disease, so help construct a lighthouse of health to g uide man y sick pe ople back to the right course.

Gregory Elias, Member of St<lte Archeological Field Unit, Helped Dig To FintJ, ,.4ncient Nebraska Indian Home Life An archeological field unit un der the direction of A. T. Hill went to a site about 16 miles north of Columbus, Nebr., to dig in June, 1941. Included in its members was Gregory Elias, a sophomore in Lincoln high school. "Many people wonder why a per. son as young as I was permitted ·to go on a n expedition of t his sort, but it was really very simple," said Gregory. "One day I went to the laboratory at the s tate capitol where they assembled for the museum things which have been found on these trips. I was inter ested so they gave me some pottery to work on. Af ter that I pester ed them so much that they fina lly asked me to go with them on a n expedition last sum mer." "All the ma t erial we found was either of the Woodland or Upper Republican culture of Indians," he1 stated. "The type of civilization found is determined by kinds of pott ery, houses , arro~heads, and

If there is riot alr eady such a t hing , I think an open meetin g should be held, or pr eferably a special meet ing j or those who a re not members, but who would like t o be. It could be conducted by several G. A. A. member s, who could explain and a nswer a ll quest ions that anyone might wish to ask. At the present time, of all of the girls in Lincoin high ther e are approximately 100 who are members of the G. A. A . I am · sure this attendan ce could be increased considerably if something was done t o promot e the interest of more girls, in the G. A . A. organiz ation.- Bevere ty Secord. To t he Editor : The pianos in r ooms 131 and 326 are a n insult t o music. Why ca n't they be tuned ? In a school that does as much fo r other t ypes of 1-µusic as Lincoln high does, it seems a shame not t o g ive the pianists a break. The pianos are used a good deal during the day and after school for Orpheons and Clef club. Members of those clubs dislike g iving g ood numbers for programs because they a re r uined by the pianb. This is a sad stat e of affairs for a tra ditionally cultura l town such as Lincoln. Please, can't something be don e about it ? Gretchen Bu r nham.

Cicero Has Us Beat; We Only Copied Him Did you know t hat Neb~as ka's motto can be found in Cicer o's philosophical sayings? The m embers . t if Miss J essie B . J ury's Cicero class at once recog·nized it in the or iginal sa ying, 'If an equal distribution of wealth is unpopula r , if equality of intelligence is an impossibility at least there should be 'EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW' among all thos.e who are citizens of the same s tat e." As a matter of fact many of the sentim ents of Cicero and other ancient writ ers bear a sim ilarity to the sentiments of a later period. Dr. Hartley Alexander , wh.1 was most familia r with the classics, selected several such sayings to appear on til e st ate capitol as hein g· t ypical :lf the purpose of sentiments l)f the pioncern.

Gregory rema rked, "while cache pits, used by the Indians fo r stor -· age or refuse, are found by a discoloration in the ground." "Up until last summer it was beieved that the Woodland culture lived only by hunting ," he explained, "but the discovery of corn

Military Rejection Caused Mainly By Bad Teeth

on one of our sites proved that horticulture has been practiced in this a rea for at least 800 years. "Some ancient burial places were found; t wo bodies had been bur ied in the flesh and one was cremated. It wa s apparent that tthe Indians were somewhat lazy as they doubled up their dead bodies so they wouldn't have to dig such a large hole to put them in."

Almost ever ything found by broken or archeologists is crumbled bits and t o a person who doesn't know anyth ing about the subject these t hings would mean nothing. But Gregory, who is familiar with this, found pot tery, Indian pipes, bone beads,· gun flint,

pieces of muskets, arrowheads, silver ornaments, bones and a squaw's hoe. The expedition found an Indian house, which, from t he evidence discovered, seemed to have been squa re, built of wood stacked up, and covered with grass mats and clay. It was apparent that the house had been burned as cha r red wood was found there. "Believe me it was no easy life," remarked Gregory. "We rose at 5:30 and went t o bed soon a fter the sun went down. We cooked our own meals and washed our own dishes. Our biggest r ecr eation was a trip into Columbus every Saturday . night. This is t he time when all the farmers come to town for their groceries and a little fun a fter a hard week's work." Even though Gregor y is quite young to be doing archeologica l work, he is looking forwa rd to going on another expedition next year.

Baske'tball and Swimming Start Under New Mentors Tankers Prepare Footballers To Defend Their Recognized In Assen1bly State Crown Champs Given 28 Major L's

5ix Veterans Return; Francis Nen- Coach

Table Tennis Players; Here's Your Chance If a pupil possesses- a table

As 37 hopefuls turned out at Coach Marvyn Francis' first call, the 1941-'42 Lincoln high swimming season is under way. Having won the state championship the last two years under the guid.; ance of Harry Kuklin, the boys are out to defend that crown and make it three in a row. The outlook seems rather favorable with six lettermen and eight others returning frorri last year's team. Lettermen include state 100 yard freestyle champion, Perry Branch, who a).so specializes in the 40 yard freestyle; 220 men, Don Meyers and Roger Ellis and Bill Schlaebitz, who swims the 40 yard freestyle. In addition, there will be L-man Jim Waters splashing it out ·with t he breaststroker and backstroker Bill Fenton. Others returning from last year's squad are: Al Mulder, Sid Albrecht and Loring Gunderson, 40 yard freestyle; Eugene Totten and Bob Luchsinger in the 100 and 220 yard freestyle, respectively; Bob Miller in the breaststroke event and Gene Roland and Burton Fol5om, backstrokers. To Have Inter-Class Meet. Taking the r esponsibility of swimming tutor for the first ti'me, Coach Francis is planning an inter-class meet and stated that the first cut would come in a week or two. "The swimming t eam will work out every day after school, starting at 4:00," said Mr. Francis to a group of inquisitive tankers. A shortage of experienced diver.:; . bothers the new mentor somewhat, one of the problems confronted by Mr. Kuklin last year.

The tournament will be played in room 131 on Monday and Wednesday nights after school at which time only tournament games may be played in the room. To put the contest on an .equal basis for those who are . experienced and to those who are less experienced in table tennis, the tournament will be divided into two groups which will compete against each other similar to the major and minor leagues in baseba ll. Girls' singles, boys' singles, girls' doubles, boys' doubles and mixed doubles will be the events. All participants must furnish their own equ ipment. All games must be played on the day · sched.uled.

Russell Explains Art of Announcing Football Games To be a football announcer it is better if you have had some football experience such as playing football, officiating, or coaching, according to Bob Russell,. former Nebraska football player, and pres. ent football a nnouncer of all Nebraska games. If an announcer has had some football experience, he will understand hmv the coaches. and players f eel during a game. "In a ll the games I have announced I believe this year's game with Minnesota was one of the bes t. At Minnesota they have one of the b est fie lds in the country. Jt is w ell markl>d, n=king t~ game easy t J announce, and t he announce1 ·s booth is up high, making it 1~asy to describe the plays." 'Lo distinguish the players, Russell stated that Nebraska t a k es along a man to help spot the plays and pla yers. He added that the other schools furnish a man to help spot t he opposing p layers. ,;The first ga me I announced was a t Oklahoma in 1934," stated Russell. He said that he has been announcing all the Nebraska games for the last four years. When asked if he thought the announcer's voice was exaggerated in describing games he said that some announcers are good a t making dull games interesting, but most of the time the announcer's voice is naturally a ffected.

In a room at Lincoln General hospital, piled high with flowers, books, fruit, candy, magazines and ·many other gifts, was Ted Jamson, injured Grand Island football player, recovering f rom three broken v ertebrae. Many Lincoln high student s have, been practicing on "how to cheer a hospital patient." Not only have students visited him, but also friends of his family, relatives, and Lincoln h igh coaches. T ed's · cast was as covered with autographs as is a five-year-old's face after h e has been into jam. From his Spanish class, he r eceived a Spanish letter in the form of a jig-saw puzzle. H e sa id he enjoyed it immen sely but he went on to expla in tha t it t ook quite a while to put together and to read. Ted was taken home last Saturday . by the Grand Island fire department.

Ice Hockey May Come to L .. H. S. What to dci about the wants of pupils i n the line of clubs, was the · topic under discussion of the committee on leisure, composed of both faculty and students, at the meeting Tuesday, · November 25. Prospects of ice hockey as a sport at ·Lincoln high school came up following a report of the results of the survey to find how Lincoln high school pupils spend their leisure time. A problem to be taken up by this committee is what way a club can be haridled so that those who take part in northfield football may also join a club during the winter months and not be left out altogether. Ideas for this may be given to Gilbert Rogers, chairman of the committee.

With resounding ch eers in their ears whenever they dropped in a long one, Coaches Beechner and Weyand showed that t h ey had a little of the old zip left in 'em by shooting baskets just before the opening game of the fall basketball tournament in the boys gym• nasium. Coach Beechne·r's shooting eye seemed just a little bit sharper . than Coach Weyand' s. "Beech" dropped .several long ones to have calls of " Lucky shot ," "Looking better there, coach," "Two-bits on the next one," reach his ears. The programs at football games were so successful and well administer ed that a lot of spectators couldn't see how they could get along without t hem at the game. A lot of credit should be g ive,n · the hard and patient labor of wiree · booys, Harry Pappas, 1'I eil McPherson and Sam Scolaro. All boys w orked fifth :periods and overtime many a day before game time, so as to p rint enough programs to su:qply every spectator attending the game.

Citizenship Biggest Aim. Of School •

One of the biggest aims of Lincoln high school this year is to improve the citizenship of the pupils in the school. The body that bears the task of informing pupils of proper conduct and good sportsmanship is the citizenship com.,.,itte.e. .11.r.r.ordinir to Mrs. Ruth Dodge in a recent interview. The committee is composed of seven students and seven faculty members. The faculty is chosen by H. C. Mardis and the seven students come from the co~mittee of 100, student· council and the .home room representatives. "The main fault in the citizenship of Lincoln high students," Mrs. Dodge :i'ee1s, "is that they do not truly understand the definition Of democracy." "Most of the students in this school .assume that democracy means privileges and forget it means the responsibility of being careful of their neighbor's rights," said Mrs. Dodge. In comparing Lincoln high citizenship with that of other schools Mrs. Dodge said, "We have to bear in mind that Lincoln h~gh is a very large school." Mrs. Dodge feels · that conduct at the Northeast-Lincoln high game was exceptionally good. An appeal had been sent to the students to be on their best behavior at_thi11 game. In concluding her interview Mrs. Dodge remarked, "The only way to improve Lincoln high sportsmanship is to educate the pupils to the responsibilities of a democracy. Perhaps then they would not be so thoughtless, but would then think more of other people's rights."

Links Board Has Vacancy ., Marilyn Brown, Copy Editor, Must Move To California Soon

With the eerie wailing of the wind and the moaning of an auto accident victim blended together to form a suspicious background, the final dress rehearsal will be staged tonight, in preparation of the coming presentation by ·the seniors of "Midnight," November 12 and 13. The late Grarnlpa Greenwood has left to his family and friends a hidden treasure. A treasure which has to be discovered before 12 :00 o'clock of the old year. Mr. Hardman, the somewhat shady lawyer of Miss Julia Greenwood, is one of these visitors. Mr. Hardman is played by Bob Romberg and Barbara Smiley takes the part .of Julia Greenwood. Julia Greenwood has come to spend the night in the house; with her is Mary Helen Alexis as her companion and David McShane ·as the colored chauffeur.

What's Happening?

University Chancellor Says to Seniors, 'Settle Your Goal, Then Go After It' -~Whether you expect to attend college or not, settle on a goal and , go after it hard!" stated C. S. Bmcher, chancellor of the Unive·:sity of Nebraska, in giving his ac;"vice to all graduating seniors. "Go to college only if you have the interest · and ability to underte.Ite the work," he advised. For those such students who do plan to indulge in higher education, ·"Be sure ti} take .a college preparatory course in high school." The chancellor believes graduating. classes of today are ·keener, more inquisitive and possess a greater ability to take · the initiative than in his day. One of the features of the progressive program that he thinks sound is 'the increasing amo'unt of responsibi.lity placed upon the student. "We find that there are three m i in causes for failure at the univ•i!'sity," said he. "They are lack ~ f ability, lack of motivation and t100 much time taken up in outside

400 .Selected Pupils Attend Sixth Annual State Music Clinic More than 400 selected high school musicians, including 22 from Lincoln high, gathered at Fremont for the sixth annual state music clinc last Thursday evening, Friday, and Saturday, and spent most of their time working to perfect music for the concert Saturday night. About 140 high school music educators attended the clinc to study the technique of producing superio,r musical groups, as exhibited by the guest conductors of the orchestra. choir, and band, Thor Johnson, conductor of University of Michigan symphony orchestra, Harold A. Decker of Shurtleff College and L. Bruce Jones, supervisor of music, Little Ro,'.!k, Arkansas. Rehearsals Start Early. The rehearsals began with a two-hour s-:>ssion Thursday night and continued through Friday and Saturday with about six hours of work each day. A . gala public concert in the Fremont municipal auditorium before a · ·.::.:>;i::tcity crowd climaxed the three day::;' work. Twc ~anqucts Held.

It wasn't all work, though. A banquet for students and one for music ed\lcators was held Friday night, and a student dance entertained many after the Friday night rehearsal. The towns which have invited the clinic for next year are Lincoln, Scottsbluff and McCook. It will not be known until later which will be picked.

'Alaska, Here We Corne!' Is Cry Of Eight Boys Alaska is the goal of a trip that a. few ambitious Lincoln high boys are planning for next summer. They hope to earn "big · money" there as carpenters, saving about $200 a month after their board and room and otl1er expenses have been deducted. There are two cars which are expected to go to Seattle, those belonging. to Jerry Ryan, chief .organizer of the trip, and Ramey Beachly. Among those who want to be their traveling companions are Roger Ellis, Jack Wenstrand, Wilbur Weidman, Gaylord Edling, Don Schauffelberger and George Anderson. On the trip they will live out in the open until they get to Seattle, where the company they plan to work for will give free steamship passage to the end of their trip. In Alaska they will live in barracks and 011 the week-ends they will spend their leisure time hunting, fishing and in other sorts of recreation. The last information obtained, said that there was a large recreation hall going up with bowling alleys, swimming pools .and boxing apparatus. Tfo~ work will bf/ hart[ .;md the workfr1g·. Cla:y . is al)out ten ·fiours long, but the climate is cool and very stimulating, so that the working conditions are really enjoyable. Alaska offers unlimited opportunitie.s for education. It is beautiful and colorful as a whole. They believe that in one year · enough money can be saved for all their university education with plenty left over. Ahoy Alaska! A Lincoln high delegation is practically on the way!!

When the offices of the secre· tary to the board of education were completed in the new public schools administration building, on Twenty-Second and R and o 1 p h streets, the staff members packed up all their belongings and trans· ferred them to their new . location. Despite all the noise created by workmen striving to complete the rest of the building, these people began to operate last week as usual, unmindful of the disturb· ance around them. Use Board Room for 'Meetings. Although the remaining departments will not be able to occupy their offices until about February i, .1942, the members of the school board will hold their weekly meetings in the new board i·oom, beginning next Tuesday, December 9. This will be the first meeting that has been held for two weeks, due to the confusion of moving the secretarial staff to the new administration building. Until this building is completed, the executive offices Of the. board of education are widely scattered thruout the city. To find M. C. Lefler, superintendent, or the assistant superintendent, O. H. Bimson, one must go to the Elliott school building, where their temporary offices are located. The ele· mentary supervisors and directo_r s are located at the CapitOl school building, while the vocational and industrial arts directors are at Prescott school. 15th and M Offices Evacuated. All administrative offices were compelled to move out of the three buildings on Fifteenth and M streets December 1, because the city was ready to start destruction of the buildings preparatory to erecting the. new city auditorium. Already windows, . roof and much of the interior woodwork have been removed.

Essay Contest Good Neighbors Won By Albert Policy Furthered Meets Boxer Tunney, Golfer Sarazen After Journey To Chicago Fred Albert, who was judged Nebraska's "healthiest boy" by the 4-H club, recently won another honor for himself by writing a prize-winning essay on the subject of health. This essay entitled him to a trip to Chicago last week with all expenses paid, and enabled him to meet not only the nation's two most healt4iest boys; but also the former boxing king; Gene Tunney, and one of this country's lea.ding golfers, Gene Sarazen. "The trip itself was not the thing that impressed me most," explained Fred. "It was the boys and girls who were at the convention. They came from not only every part of America but from Canada, Puerto Rica, Mexico, Alaska and many other countries. However, the two health co-champions were from Louisiana and Iowa." Fred first went to Omaha where he and Nebraska's other 4-H champions met at a banquet. From there he journeyed straight to Chicago on the Burlington Zephyr. However, his Nebraska friends did not accompany him on this trip; as· his prize-winning essa.y provided him with the privileges of traveiing in luxuries not granted the others, who were chosen for a single achievement alone. Most of the time in Chicago was spent by going on tours and recreational trips, and attending banquets.

Home Rooms Hear Governor Griswold Students in some home rooms heard Governor Dwight Griswold speak on Nebraska's home defense on Tuesday, December !!. He explained that our roads and highways .must be kept free . from sabotage by safety patrolmen so lhat mate1ial may reach the coast.

Associated Press Gathers, Distributes NewsToMembersAndGetsNoProfit Ringing of a bell, r-r-ring, a tense moment, .a flash, and then the announcement of about fifty words comes over the teletype machine. A short while later a lead comes in, and then another lead, keeping the story hot all of the time. This i.s what happens when a big story is coming into a newspaper office from the Associated Press. "The Associated Preiss is a nonprofit association of mahy newspapers that gathers and distributes news among its members," said Harry Gerhard, Sr., who is a maintenance man for the Associated Press. Mr. Ger~d checks over and repairs teletypes in all of the larger towns in Nebraska except Omaha. "The teletypes that ·i::ur; eight hours daily need to be gone over about once every three mor. lhs," he added.

'!'he newspapers may use just a part of the story, or all of it, but they cannot change the thought or wording of the story. Lincoln sends only Lincoln news and state house news ·to the smali· er towns in Nebraska. Outstate . news goes to Omaha by long dis· tance telegraph or the Western Union, where it is edited and then put on the state wire, on which it goes .to .the smaller towns in Nebrl!.ska. "Teletypes are usually bought in pairs," related Mr. Gerhard, "the second one being used when the other is being repaired or in an emergency." A pair of teletypes usually cost around $1,500.

Japan! United States ! War! 'l'hcse words are being spok en all over the nation. Most of us in Lincoln high do not realize what "war" means. Vve are going to have t o suffer, and sacrifice. Our parents have gone throug·h this once, b ut this is om first exper ience, aucl we may not be as prepared as they are. Being located in the heart of onr country, our views ar·e sometimes different from othel' persons. l\Iany of us want to join the army and help all we can. That is fine for the ones c~apable to do so, but the ones unable t o do this, have just as high a job. Those persons must keep om soldiers and sailo1·s suppl iec1, and most of all keep the. morale u p, and let these men kno•I' the nation is 100 p er cent behind them. P erhaps we can't help by running to enlist or begin taking nurse's training.

Safety Before Beauty Insures Longer Life BY Bl\RBARA EM(lRSON

Students, attention! You have mo1;c accidents than any one else! The statistics say so. Here are a few plain words to calm you down. If you need a dash of lipstick, pull over t o .the side of the road and daub it on yourself. Don 't let another person smear you up as you steer your uninterested but pr eoccupied way down the street. Filling up every nook and crany of youi· car with precious cargo and allowing it to spill over on th e running boards is a destraction hard to beat. No matter where your gear-shifting apparatus is, there are just too many arms, legs, feet, and elbows in what should be your private operating department.-And too many other things to think about: Shouted greetings to the boys on the corner ; an arm is draped affectionately across your shoulder. How .can you keep your mind on your work 7 And don't drive so fast. You whizz off, only to crawl when you've caught up with the traffic ahead of you; you cut out of line and zoom by three cars, only to be stuck behind a truck a quarter mile up the road; you leap at a curve, tires screeching, to s>vay to a dead stop at a hidden obstruction around t he bend : you swish up a hill, then jerk into line ahead of another car in the face of an oncoming bus . You go so fast - and most roads and signs can't take you. Signal with your hand to indicate what you are going to do and lef the drive r behind . you, kno>v what to exp ect. Heed the signs ~ l f"l 1·''"'' ~11" 1•0 "!. ·~~

Well it wasn 't so bad being looked dovm upon, as being the important Static E d itor, even though I think I did lose a few friends, but what are a few friends in this world of confusion (and wars ). i suppose I'll get used to it just as th e St atic editors before me have, but I won't say that they were better than I am (even though they were) .

Alunini Will Miss Old lUcKinley School Buildings BY .BOB JONE S

:Many alumni of Lincoln high will be very sad to see their alma mater, McKinley school, torn down. The old Lincoln high school holds many memories for the city's older citizens. The central building is also a good example of Victorian arch,i,iecture. Although the passing of the buildings which have housed the administration offices since 1915 will be mourned by soi:ne, the conveniences brought about by tearing them down will be many. 'l'he board of edu cation will be established in a modern building a nd a new city audit orium will grace the site now occupied by t he institution . Farewell to the old, good luck to the new.

The Year 1870-Tuberculosis ! ! A word shunned, a disease feared by the entire world. "What can we do about it?" asked the doctors of t hat time. They did not k now the cause of the dread disease. How could they find an effective cure? The Year 1941-Tuberculosis! ! Now the world doe~ not shun this word for it has turned about face and looked it straight in the eye and the tuberculosis disease has practically withered a n d died compared t o the manner in which it bullied and beat the world of one century ago. Dr. Robert Kock, in 1882, discovered that t uberculosis is caused by a germ, not by fate, superstition, or heredity, as was once believed. In the till!e of this great discover y there were two major groups of spreaders of tuberculosis-sick dairy cattle and sick huma n beings. By the year 1940 the cleaning u p of "cattle herds" has been succe;;sful, but the "human herd" still needs a better scrubbing. Thirty years ago tuberculosis was at the h ead of the list of the major causes for death . Now it has been shoved to seventh pla ce, but there are many more positions downward where it can be pushed if everyone gets behind and lends moral, mental and physical strength.

.L.H.S. Tramer Says-'Relax' By Bud Ruhl. It must be remer>;abered that a stucient trairi~r· ·.s not a doctor and i.s not ':.r.:ralified to give doctor,'s care, but is to give First-Aid until a doctor comes. The ability of an athlete · to relax before and during a game is one of the most important factors with which trainers have to deal in a ny type of athlet ic activity. Glenn Cunningham had a good faculty of taking a little nap just before a race, but it never lasted more than twent y minutes. The <:ham.pion is alwaysloose, confident, arid J>re.sses only a t the . pro_:IJ,i:r time. Says Roland Loga~ . (trainer at U. S. Military Academy), "I t rained Lefty Grove, the famous Red Sox pitcher, and always be• fore a game he came and slep,t till t~enty minutes before game time. He is now . 42, but he still keeps going on, largely because he <:an relax." A lot of good batters go down swinging because their mental resistances are worn out. .A good suggestion hi that case, is to plant your feet, take your stance, and drop your shoulders. '!'he dropping of the shoulders tends to relax the a rms, shoulders, and upper part of the torso. Also breath deeply and take it easy. An athlete does· riot have to. eat certain foods to knock home runs; · listen to pep talks to make a touchdown; or eat specially advertised foods, he just h as to lead a cle3Jl, normal, simple ·life.

Dimmed Through War

In past years, when the Christmas season rolled around, notices appeared in the newspapers telling just how many days were left until Christmas. Everyone had the so-called "Christmas Spirit." People, scurrying to do their Chr'.stmas shopping early were, to all outward appt;iarances, grudgingly buymg the gifts and spending long-saved funds, but secretly enjoying every minute of it. This year some say Christmas won't be the same. W aT news crowds out all the insignificant items like how many days until Christmas, but in some countries the papers are so completely censored that an item like that could have almost the whole front page to itself. Some people are too busy worrying about their boys on the high seas or in camp to han that Christmas "spirit." At least we haven't been driven from our homes by invading armies. Well, we still have that early Christmas shopper, but this year, he must buy gifts for the boys in camp. , This may not seem like other Christmas holidays but let's count the things to be thank· tul for before becoming too morbid.

Heal,th Campaign Constant Struggle Against Disease Just as the world war means a great deal to all of us, so should the health campaign. This is a constant war on disease that is as old as time. The best places for _disease germs to col• Iect are the ones most used by the general public. The school is a good example of this type of meeting place and, although th.e custodial force at Lincoln high is very effi. cient, it canno.t begin to keep the building clean when the students become careless and unthinking. The cafeteria, hal1"1, washrooms, and fountains are altogether too cluttered to be healthful. . It is disgusting to go to a drinking fountain and find gum, apple cores, candy papers and other unsanitary things in it. The person who stuffs lavatory drains with towels must have a mOl'bid sense of humor. . There are waste baskets ~cattered throughout the building in convenient places, so there is no excuse for dropping re· mainders of lunches, sacks, orange peels, etc., any place a person chooses. It is also a good idea to do target practice at home or in an a-ppr~nriate place. nc1l 't try to hit the basket ~~ --- ~ .,,.-:-~ t1'.~ !,;!U, ~o mro,. to it and dr()p

Open Forum To the Editor:

Since the present war situation has arisen, the news is important 'to everyone. Would it be possible to have the news broadcasted over the sound system every morning, as has been done previ· ously? Most of us are in such a rush in the morning that there isn't time to listen to the latest news. rm sure there would be more attention now that the outcome is so vital to everyone. Joyce Edwards. Editor's Note: If pupil demands are large enough news broadcast might be given, stated H. C. Mardis, but maybe not at 8:20 a. m. as before. To the Editor: Now that our Land of Liberty is struggling against the forces of slavery, greed and terror, every loyal American is determined to pull through-on top! This sort of thing has happened before, but this time we are in the position to be the leaders of all the people fighting for what we believe is right. 'Way back in 1630 a group of .oppressed people landed on Ply. mouth Rock. One thing led to another, and by 1776 a struggling young republic declared that all men are created equal, and are endowed witl;l the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi• ness. .

Anyone Not Get.t ing His Money's Worth At ~Midnight' ls a Sourpuss or a Scotchman By Borton Folsom.

Congratulations to those · thir· teen jewels, Miss Winifred Lockhart, and all the little cogs that made the senior play, "Midnight" a real success last Friday and Saturday nights, December 12 and 13, in the Lincoln high auditorium where seldom a performance of this caliber is presented. This exciting cross between a comedy and mystey had one in suspenders all the way. As the curtain rose it was pitch dark, 'but Leonard, the colored. chauffeur, portrayed by David McShane, who received more than hil! l!lhare of the · laughs, had not made his entrance as yet. Barbara Smiley didn't look a day over fifty as she took the part of Julia Greenwood, the polished possessor of the haunted house, while Maryetta Parchen looked like a million as the stooped suspect, who was the housekeeper before Gramp Greenwood died three months ago.

During these 165 years a mighty country with more than 150,000,000 red blooded citizens has been built upon those fundamental principles declared when that band of freedom loving men made our Constitution. Now that our Stars and Stripes are again in danger every last one of us is ready to go in their fighting! We can't all do it though. Millions of men are in our army, air force and navy. Still other millions are holding government jobs that directly or indirectly take part in the war against the tyrants. That leaves the rest of us to continue the work of building our mother country as we've been doing all our lives. Maybe it isn't exciting' -but, it's important. As students of Lincoln high school our duty is to take advantage of all the opportunities offered us. There are lots of them. Of course, it would certainly furnish a great incentive if we had first aid classes, gave the pledge of allegiance every morning, had a regular Junior Red Cross in. our school, and other patriotic duties.

Besides telling of her own experiences, Miss Wood gi&ve the tequiremen.tl of a nurse. Starting with a near perfect phyllical background, the prospective nurse must spend years of strenuous training before entering the positions offering high salaries. There are many jobs at the top for women who have mastered the art ot nursing. Miss Wood thinks that a wellknown college should be chosen to attend. Then comes actual hospital work and after that, experience in public health nursing. Schooling really ~ never ends for nurses because there is always aomet,hing new to learn. The club voted to change the constitution. Instead of each member paying 15 cents dues evecy semester the 15 cents will be good for the whole year or two aemestera. Nominations for next semester's officers are Allee Abel, Peggy Haase, Doris Johnson, Lois Martin, Betty Nash, Marjorie Nicholas, Maryetta Parchen and Lydia. Pardubsky.

Spanish song recordings were played and the pupils made special study of tha songs. Also Christmas carols were sung in Spanish by the pupils. Patricia Curry, Marilyn Hays and Edward Toohey were iii charge of the presentation. Dramatically dropping "le petit Maurice" from a distance of three feet to the floor, Miss Annetta Sprung launched the play "Vat 'en" in her fifth period French class. Students taking part in the sketch were Robert Johnson, James McEachen and Helen Boehmer. The playlet opens with the words "Je te de'teste. Va-t'en," which means "I detest you. Go away."

New Idea Tried Out at Assembly With visiting guests from Beatrice and Northeast high schools, the good will exchange assembly January 7, was a student discussion . on safety and health.· Harris Barber presided and the question was, "How responsible are we for the safety and health of our fellow students in this national emergency?" Other panel members were D\)· Maris Morton from Lincoln high school, Bill Stuhl and. Lorene Novotny from Beatrice high school . and Bernard Anderson and Betty Huston from Northeast high school. The students gave their views and also told of the plans which their schools are using in carrying . out health and safety ideas. Fire drill practice seems to be popular at all three schools. Northeast high also has plans for a traffic school to teach pupils _that are sixteen years old, how to drive. Another suggestion was that the three schools carry on a "crumple fender contest." The idea of this is to give to one of three schools, having the highest safety record during a certain amount of time, a reward which can be shifted to the highest rating school. The school with the lowest record will be given a crumpled fender which must be displayed publicly. This is thought to have a great effect upon the safety practices of the schools. While this assembly was taking place at Lincoln high school, similar assemblies were going on at Beatrice and Northeast high school. Jo:y-ce Crosbie and Malcolm Allen were the guests at Northeast high school while Shirley Ann Hinds and Robert South• worth were visiting Beatrice high school.

United States in War Has Education Problerrt By Bob Jones,

Now that the United States has plunged into the eonflict, many grave problems must be faced. Hardships never felt before by the younger generation are now being inflicted and will continue to be inflicted. Shortage of many things besides rubber and steel have yet to be experienced. · Food rationing may come into being ; hig·her taxes are assured. Young America is at wits end whether to take chances that might be afforded to go to college or to go into a job in which the future looks golden. Many people either do not have the finances or the mental ability to go to school after high school and for these more jobs than ever are being offered. Welders, machinists of all types make good vocations for those who are mechanically minded. The principal, H. C. Mardis, announced that the government is looking for stenographers for civil service jobs and a telegraph company here in Lincoln is looking for permanent messengern. With people aged 21 and over being inducted into the army, younger people and older people will get their chance in jobs. Another problem for the prospective colleg·e student is the draft. True, you may not be able to complete your college course, but wouldn 't it be just as bad tb be taken, from a good job. Although there are exceptions, people usually acquire knowledge needed for leadership at college. Higher education was needed in almost everything before the war and the same will be true when it's over. When we win, and we will win, a difficult job of reconstruction will be at hand and we are going to need intelligent well balanced people who will be the ones to take over. If you have a chance to g·o to college, think twice before you throw it away.

Some Fancy Facts of Om· Fighting Fleet As Told by Lincoln High Enthusiast Most of us don't know just how strong our navy is and what it's capable of doing, but Bill Krause '44, who has been doing some studying of Popular Mechanics and such, disclose<l in a recent interview that ne knows quite a bit about Uncle Sam's sea strength as · well as some facts on the Japanese. "The majority of naval powers agree that the battleship is the backbone of the fleet," stated Bill, "but due to the present large naval battles, the exact number of battleships of the United States is not known, but is probably somewhere around 13. These battlewagons have the 16 inch guns and cost in the neighborhood of $90,000,000 apiece." · The U. S. has six aircraft carriers, which for all practical purposes are floating airports. These long slim vessels carry from 60

to 90 planes, which serve as the best defense in case of attack. Machine shops are found aboard for repair and overhaul work. The Japanese have several auxiliary carriers, which transport around 15 to 20 planes. The United States Navy has about 18 heavy cruisers of 10,000 tons and about the same number of light cruisers, which are the largest ships that carry torpedoes. Cruisers are fast boats and are capable of going long distances. "The destroyers, commonly known as tin cans," continues Bill, "have more defensive strength per ton than any other type, and are able to attack and destroy every kind of ship known. Uncle Sam has approximately 150 of t hese persuaders." Submarines, of which the U. S. has around 100, range from 100 to 360 feet in length and are armed with guns, torpedoes and mines.

EINSTEIN ANGLEDOME

The Japs, according· to magazine reports, have a pocket sub which carries three men, has a length of 18 feet, and can be built for $5,000 and dive to the amazing depth of 1,800 feet, which is six. times as deep as tile ordinary sub. Twenty-five of the Japanese submarines are capable of going from Tokyo to the Panama canal and back without refueling. "Mosquito torpe<lo boats," concluded Bill, "are a new and valuable asset to the United States navy. Their length is from 59 feet to 81 feet, they carry a crew of 10, from two to four torpedo tubes, machine guns, T. N. T. depth charges, smoke screen apparatus and have been clocked at more than 70 miles per hour. To ride one of these mosquitoes over a 15 foot wave a nd bang into the next one, requires the toughest tars of Uncle Sam's navy."

Links Cartoonist Goes Hollywood Del Jackson, formerly cartoonist for the Links, who since his graduation from Lincoln high in 1932 has had a career in both motion pictures and commercial art; made a visit to the school January 7. Mr. Jackson went t o California to become what Hollywood calls a "ghost singer," under the name of Del Warren. "A ghost singer Is one who substitutes his voice for an actor 's, whose voice cannot fill the part," explained t he guest. While in California, Mr. J ackson did other things besides a cting. He not only continued his a rt work, but also wrote a column In a San Diego paper called " A Lit tle Bit of Anything." In conclusion "Del," who is visiting his parents in Lincoln, said, "I haven't seen this kind of weather in five or six years, because my home is now in northern California.

In a recent news story, that appeared in the Advocate, comment was made that in a school in Kansas City, larger than Lincoln high, no running, yelling, or whistling, 'vas seen 0 1· heard in the halls. 'l'hat surely can't be said of Lincoln high at the present. The confusion in the halls between classes, before and after school, is disgraceful. In a corridor near an exit at 3 :10, if one happens to be going away from the exit, it is a continual battle in walking with chances ten to one of losing. Couldn't this he remedied ~ Why docsn 't the school obey simple traffic rules 1 If _the confusion in the downtown streets were as bad as that of the Lincoln high corridors, the population would be sadly reduced. Follow simple traffic rules, don't run, and reduce the danger of serious accidents in the corridors.

Physical Well Being Helps Insure Success in Life Young people are frequently told by their elders that life is a battle, a fight. And so it is, but the fight is not only a moral one of good against disease. Happiness and success in hfe against evil, but a physical one of health are impossible without health. The fight for health is then worth while. Have you even realized that practically all the Napoleons, Caesars, Washingtons, and Lincolns were men of the out-of-doors ~ Could either Washington or Lincoln have stood up under the terrible years of strain and responsibility that made them famous if they had had puny bodies~ Certainly not, and every young person whose ambition it is to J.irnke his life count for something in the future must first build up a strong healthy body. Every game of tennis, every walk, eve1·y game of ball means help toward a healthy ' body. Every boy and girl should learn tb01:n11ghly at least one form of outdoor sport ,_., ' ".,,._ ation. 'l'here is a long· list to choose fl'em-football, baseball, Lasketball, hockey, . t u rnis, golf, swimming, horseback riding, run'ning and jumping. One feels very proud when he knows that he possesses a vigorous body and a clean pure mind. Both are worth striving for year after year, and the time to begin is in youth.

Lincoln high's yearly publication, the Scribe, received special recognition when Gunnar Horn, adviser at Omaha Benson and book l'eviewer for the Scholastic Editor magazine, reviewed in the Novcmbel' issue, the 1941 edition of the Lincoln high publication. Several articles were singled out for special mention. These were "New Frontires" by Richard Sloan "Assassins on Wings" by Richard Davis, "An Italian Barber on W. P.

Icy Blast Doesn' t Phase Ice-Skates "Hey! Look where you're going, will ye! We're using this to play hockey." This is a familiar scene to those who brave "Old Man Winter's" icy blasts to enjoy a little ice-skating. But this is just one discomfort to those who try to skate in peace. You walk about a mile to get there and get so cold, it takes half an hour to put on your skates (after you ureak your shoestring three times ). You stand up, -very disgusted, and start off. Oh! oh! left your mittens on the bank. Hurrying back you find they've disappeared. No, her e they a re, some little boy buried them in t he snow. Cold, aren't they? You finally get your bearings and you are skating around quite nicely when someone pops up from nowhere a nd sails by tripping you as he goes. This is the last straw, so you go over and take off your skates; you're going home. But what's this? Your shoes are filled · with snow. Well ~at's all the skating for you 'ti! next year you decide; well anyway, 'til tomorrow.

Maneuvers Have Many H-azards Says Sergeant

Open Forum To the Editor: The suggestion that there be no basketball assemblies has been presented to those participating in, and to those sponsoring the assemblies. It is true t hat there a r e many more basketball game.i than foo tball games, :however, anyone who has seen our basketball team in action will realize t hey wor k just as hard for victory. We must also . consider how much time it would t ake out of our school day if we were t o h ave double assemblies every time our team played. I believe it would be agreeable to both sides if we could have a n assembly for the games p la yed on week-ends. Betty F rankforter. To the Editor: A number of times letters have been published in this column requesting such things as bowling alleys to be built in the school for the pleasure of t he students. Now the United States is at w ar, and we should consider only things that are necessary. · Two things t hat will be necessary to the students in the near future are more bicycle r acks a nd a large barn. I have heard at different t imes of students who are planning t o t rade their jalopies for a good used horse or bicycle. Soon the tires will be unable to take one more patch and the t r ansportation of the students to school will be horses an d limited down t o bicycles. What wnI become ot the horses af ter they get to school? We cannot let them run around loose. They will have to be housed some place and a barn or at least hitching-posts should be built on the school grounds. I believe all t his should be considered before the need become too grave. Nancy Baylor. P. S. : By the way, has anyone got a horse for sale cheap?

"Alexander, Louisiana, was t he scene of seven weeks of maneuvers between the Red and Blue armies, " stated Leon Willie, former st udent, now of the 134th infantry, 35th division of the U~ited States Army.

Dr. Thompson Tells Students 'Improve Teeth' Health Director Speaks to Class "What the youth of America can do to improve the present dental conditions," was the topic of Dr. J. R. Thompson's speech to the physiology 1 classes, Tuesday, January 6. Dr. Thompson, who is the director of dental hygiene at the state health department, also brought a film on "How Teeth Grow, " which he showed and explained to the classes. "The things you can do to improve the condition of your teeth," explained Dr. Thompson, "are to detect and correct defects when they are in. their early stages, eat the correct food, and brush the teeth regularly and efficiently." He stated that now more than ever before the American people should be made to realize the important part intelligent mouth hygiene plays in maintaining good health because in the present national emergency everyone should be in the best possible physical shape. In concluding his talk he made this statement: "Ninety per cent of the children in our American schools need dental care. With proper care for baby teeth and permanent first molars, this per cent could be considerably lessened." Dr. Thompson recommended the following food daily: One quart of milk, one egg, one serving of meat or fish, two servings of vegetables and one green leafy vegetable, one orange or tomato, one fruit in addition, six teaspoonsful of butter, one teaspoonful of cod liver oilvitamin B. In addition to, not in place of these foods, the following may b e used : Whole wheat bread, cereal and potato.

Girls Wage War On L. H. S. Mice Lincoln high girls are sending an S. O. S. to the P ied Pipe1• to come and get the mice. If :;;omeday you should happen to walk nonclrn.la ntly into a class room to find all the femmes standing on top of the desks· you'll k now that a mouse is some where about. However, there is one little gal in the school who doesn't h ave to be rescued from those fier ce creatures. In fact, she adopts them as p ets. If you happen to be in the lunchroom at exactly the light time last week you could have seen Cecily Raesor feeding a little gray mouse named Pythagor as, ice cream off a spoon , or letting it munch a piece of lettuce. Y es, the unbelievable can h appen. Cries of "Mice! Ech!" could be h eard echoing from 121 during a shorthand 1 class last week, when a little gray mouse with a short, white string tied to its tail scurried into the classroom a p d darted to the corner booksh elf to hide. The class comp osed of two boys and the rest girls, was in a state of h avoc. After man y pleadings on the part of most of the g irls, one of the boys bravely went to t h e corner, moved the bookcase a,nd g ingerly picked up the mouse by the s tring , swung it a round and carried it from t h e room. This only g oes to prove: Its either the man or the mouse. Eh, Mousie ? ~-~~~~~~

Coach Spealis To Hi-Y Club Lyle Weyand, Lincoln High Cage Mentor, Speaks on Basketball Addressing the\ group on the topic of basketball, Lyle Weyand, head Lincoln high basketball mentor, spoke to the Hi-Y, Thursday, January 8. "I don't like a zone defense," declared Coach Weyand, "and I've tried to find a way to break it up for six or seven years." Speaking of the previous games, h e said that Lincoln has beaten the zone defense so far and he is keeping his fingers crossed a s to the rest of the season. "You don't have a thing to worry about when you're a bas ketball coach," Lyle stated. "If you p lay a g an1e, you either lose or don't lose. If you don't lo8e it' ~ all right. If you do lose you either lose badly or you don't lose badly. If you've lost badly, you may either lose your job or not Jose your job. If you lose your job you · may get a nother job or not get another job. I f you don't get another job, you either go on relief or starve. If you go on relief you don't need to worry a nd if you s ta rve, you can't worry, so why worry at all." Weyand said that there are as many theories on the method to d efeat opponents as there are coaches. Some coaches play def ensive basketball to r each t he win column, others depend on the bas ket eye of their players, while still others depend on speed a s their major factor. Following Weyand's t a lk, Jim H a wkins, socia l chairman of the club, told of a s leigh ride, planned for Sa turday, January 17.

When she was 14 she was sent to a Quaker school in Philadelphia. After attending school there for a year she had to return home. The r anchers decided they needed a school, so she became the teacher when she was only 16. There were 95 members present ; the membership of the club is 189. The n ext meeting will be the last meeting of the semester and new committee chairman will be intr oduced.

Tankers Rated As Underdogs In First Meet Iowa Champs Won 48-18 Last Season With the first swimming meet of the season, which is with Roosevelt of Des Moines, just nine days away, Coach Marvyn Francis' boys have settled down to intensive training. The Links, who have been state champions tb.e last two year!:!, are seeking re• venge for a 48-18 drubbing received at the hands of the Roosevelt clan last year. The coming meet will be Friday, January 23. Fenton and Waters Shine.

Things· look a little brighter for the Red and Black as a result of the time trials held fast Thursday. Bill Fenton, Bob Miller, Bill • Schlaebitz and Jim Waters all turned in their best times yet in their respective events.. Bill Fenton knocked the 100 yard backstroke off in 1 :9.5 which is approximately 2.6 seconds from the state record made by Dick Marshall of Lincoln · high two years past. Jim Waters, taking advantage of the _butterfly style, had a time of 1:11.1 for the 100 yard breaststroke which is ji1st 1.6 seconds from a state high school record. Jim is just a junior and has taken more than four seconds off his time in the last year. Bob Miller, a junior, who . has been pressing Waters for the number one breast-stroke position has whittled his time down to 1:15.8. After an absence of about a week because of a paper route, Bill Schlaebitz turned in his best time for the 40 yard freestyle with a 20.5 seconds. However, Perry Branch, state 100 yard freestyle champion, took the event in 19.9 seconds. Don Myers took the 220 yard freestyle event as Rogers Ellis was vacationing. Last Diver Deserts Team.

Johnny Blumer, who was expected to assume the responsibility of the number one diver after Jim White's graduation this month, has handed in. his resignation due to lack of interest. Coach Francis will probably shift Schlaebitz to a diving post, but even so, Lincoln liigh will mainlain its tradition of being weak at the diving position. Coach Francis announced· two swimming meets between Lincoln and Fremont. Thus far the schedule is as follows: Roosevelt of ·Des Moines, here, January 23. Fremont, here, January 28. Fremont, there, February 18.

Jitters Bother Reserves, Tough Schedule Looms

Toman Men Tal{e Opener Eager Leads \Vay As Reserves Trample College View Cagers Lincoln high's reserves opened their 1942 season with a ragged 18 to .12 win over College View, Friday, January 3, at Whittier, as Coach Joe Toman . cleared the bench · of 14 players. The Viewmen, who upset Crete in their first appearance of the season but had since dropped two successive decisions, held a slim 4 to 3 lead at the end of the first period, then lost the range entirely and scored only four points during the next, two quarters. This cold streak allowed the Red and Black seconds, who themselves could muster only one point in the sluggish third canto, to coast home on a six point splurge during the final eight minutes. Gus Eager, a Teachers' High transfer, Bob Hollis and Merwyn Merryfield collected four points apiece to lead Lincoln's attack, but watched football star Paul Henson hit the bucket for three field goals and a pair of gratis shots for individual scoring honors.

Safely past their first hurdle in the present basketball campaign, the Lincoln reserves will attempt to overcome the "jitters," Reserve Coach Toman stated, Tuesday, January 6. "What we need most is more work on team play and to learn to relax and keep cool. We should be 50 percent better by our next home appearance," stated Toman. Praises Rival Teams.

This year's reserve squad has one of .the toughest schedules ever undertaken by a Lincoln high reserve squad. Grinning, Toman stated, "We usually have a team we can count on beating, but right now there is no such team in sight on our schedule." Guard Stands Out.

Earl "Gus" Eager is the standout player of the reserves. He played the whole game against College View and turned in an outstanding defensive floor performance. "He is one of the best ball hawks and guards that I have had the privilege to coach," Toman said.

Weyand's five was never behind as the Links opened their season with an impressive 35 to 29 vie-. tory over Omaha Central December 20. McArthur was high point m an. He dunked in seven from the floor and made one good from the free throw line to top the players of both t eams with 15 points. The score was L. H. S. all the way to the tune of 7 to 4 at the first quarter, 15 to 11 at the half, and 28 to 18 at the end of the third period. fg ft f l Omaha Cent. fg f t f 1 1 2 4 0 21P otts f 1 O 2 1Hifferman f 1 0 0 O 0 01Barber f 0 0 0 1 2 31 Trigg f 3 1 2 0 0 01 Grove c 3 1 1 O O 01Fry g 3 1 0 0 0 01Gr imes g 0 0 0 0 0 1 1Miller g-c 1 1 0 1 0 01Moore g 0 0 0 7 1 21 1 0 0 1 0 21 - -1 T o tals 16 3 121 To tals 12 ;'5 5 Officials: Harold Huston and Tod Kuntzelman.

As everyone knows, or as everyone should know, this is the one time when all students are given the opportunity to display their talents not only to fellow _ students but also to parents, friends and other persons desiring entertainment In the way in which only Lincoln high can produce. Now, as a warning, don't wait until the last moment to start planning a sketch, dance or what-have-you because the try-outs are February 11 and 12 and the acts which have more and better practices are usuatly the ones "voted most likely to succeed.''

Air Raid Drills 'ro Be Started

In Ute first city-wide drive of salvage materials for national defense, the Lincoln school pupils have been requested to help by gathering together all old newspapers, magazines, scrap metal, worn out rubber tires and tubes and old rags to be collected at each home Friday and Saturday, January 23 and 24. Air raid precautions will be taken by Ute Lincoln schools, even though possibilities Of raids are unexpected, it was revealed at the regular meeting of the school board Tuesday, January 13. The school board members pointed out that the drills should not be one of fear or alarm, but should be of great value to chi!· dren, especially those whose families might move to defense zones where danger is real. M. C. Lefler, superintendent of scho0ls, said he had received many calls from concerned about air raid Mu~mers parents practice in schools.

ians and others designated by the principal would know how and where to turn off electricity, gas and water mains in case of an air raid; also to have plans posted throughout the buildings showing where the fire extinguishers are placed. Emergency exit drills will be perfected and instruction given in first aid, air raid precaution and fire fighting. Defense measures are to be set up gradually in Lincoln high, Mr. Mardis explained, but this work is naturally slow at first for it must be done accordilng to national and local defense instruction. A call may be made by the hospitals for boys to form squads which are to be trained in firstaid and ambulance service. Competent medical. advisors will give regular instructions to the squads, each of which is to be made up of two boys. There are several defense projects in and around Lincoln which in war time can be called strate- ' gic points, one, the bomb loading plant in Wahoo. In case of a major disaster each squad would re, port immediately to the hospital through which he had been trained.

'Popular Music Styles Change Like Those of Clothing'--Stanley Capps "As long as people dance there will be popular music," Stanley M. Capps, teacher of modern piano harmony and radio singing, said in a recent interview. "Styles of popular music continually change, though, like clothes. A few years ago it was known as jazz, then rag time, but today the same thing is called swing." When asked whether he thought popular music would ever take the place of classical music he replied with an emphatic, "No." He be· lieves that there will always be people who prefer classical to the modern type of music. The classics very definitely have a :wecific place in the world. In answer to a question about changing classics to the modern tempo, he said, "By swinging the classics they have educated people to liking this kind of music who never cared for it before. How many had heard of Tscha:ikowsky's Concerto ill B flat Minor before the recenE dance arrangement?" Mr. Capp11 went on by explaining the complicated makings of a recording. J/J:e uses a small aluminum disc, specially coated, for his type of priv~te recordings although a wax disc is used in making commercial recd_rds. A diamond needle

The sound comii-,g through the microphone vibrates th·.' needle which mak_e s small wavy grooves according to sound and pitch. When played back these groovP,S produce the same sound, whe.1t amplified, as the original sounr. made. "Copyrights are secured very simply,;' related Mr. Capps. Manuscripts which are not to be pro· duced for sale may be copyrighted by sending one or two copies to Washington, D. C., witlt one dollar and a blank which must be filled out very carefully. If the manuscript is to be published for sale, two copies and two dollars must be sent with the blank." In conclusion Mr. Capps said that he wished to reassure those interested in popular singing and playing the piano with an orchestra that there is an ever increasing demand for people in the field. Especially there have been calls for pianists now that the draft has taken so many men. Even in and around Lincoln there are a great many opportunities for the up and coming singer or pianist.

Orchestra To Go In his welcome to members of To Music Festival the January senior class, Dr. Ray E. H unt, who gave the senior ser-

mon Sunday, January 18, quoted from one of Paul's letters to Timothy, who, like this graduating class, was just entering into a troubled world. Dr. Hunt stated that Paul in his letter, told Timothy, "there is a gift within you, do not neglect that gift." Using tltis as his title, Dr. Hunt went on by s aying: "The old New Engla11d Town meeting wrts one of the truest forms of democracy. as everyone in the town had a voice in t he government. w hile in the city a,t Lincoln t.here are ·1tl,OUO regis-

tered voters, but only 40 perce11t, or 11,000 voted in the last city election, this is a neglect of the gift of democracy." Telling of some of the ways in which the graduates could live their lives better, Dr. Hunt continued, "You should all do your jobs, and continue your normal way of living without letting the chaos of the world interfer. Stay in school now, because the government does not need you; in China the government asked all the young men to go to school, and get an education, because as soon as there is peace they will be needed." "Concluding Dr. Hunt quoted from Edwin Markham's poem, "Rolls of Road,",_and again reminded the students not to neglect the gift within.

Orchestras from several of eastern Nebraska's large r high schools, including Lincoln high, have been invited to a music festival in Omaha in connection with the national music contest there in April. Howard Hanson, head of the Eastman School of Music, will conduct the mass orchestra in the two-day rehearsal and public concert. The program will consist of "Nordic Symphony" by Howard Hanson, "Finlandia" by Sibelius, the last movement of the "New World Symphony" by Dvorak, and another number which has not been announced yet. Howard Hanson is a native Nebraskan, hav ing been born in Wahoo.

Joy N'ight Board Of 11 Is Selected Selection of this year's J oy Night board is ready proof that the annual all-school show is near. Also the fact that try-outs are to be held February 11 and 12, only three weeks away. Composed of five faculty members and six student council members, this board has charge of judging try-outs, putting the acts together and all-in-all in charge of the production of J oy Night.

'French Language Ranks Second Only To English Throughout World' J ames R. Wa dsworth, professor of French at the University of Nebraska, said in a recent interview that the study of the F rench language is practically essential · in almost all important phases of work. For instance, in the study of art and history he said that without the French background in an extensive study of these subjects, a student would have a rather vague conception of them because of the m a ny contributions given by the French people, With the study of chemistry, it is a requirement tha t the student t alrn either French or German as the basic language for the course. "l<~rencn ranks second to the English language througl10ut the world," said Professor \\la.dswo rth, " and if ever a person was in a place where there was no one who understood Eng lish, h e would be t he most likely to get along by s pea king French." Professor Wadsworth said that in Venezuela and Colombia, besides many other places in South America, French is a required subject and that almost every educated person there· has a knowledge of this language. Having studied for a school term in Strasbourg, France and visited the country a number of other times , i?rofessor Wadsworth told of some of the customs a.id habits of th•:..,;e people. "Unlike the American people, the Fren<''h are very independent,' for if two, Frenchmen get together U1ere is Hound to be an argument.

With three of them, a fight might ensue, while four of them together may start a small revolution," he said. This trait of being so independent is one of the chief reasons for France's fall to Germany iii World War II, believes Professor Wadsworth, beca use the people failed to coordinate when the time came. When asked about French music, Professor Wadsworth replied that the opera is the preferred music in France and that in every town of any size there is an opera house with this sort of musical performance two nights a week and plays the other nights. "Most of the French are of Catholic religion and the cathedrals of France are known throughout the world." said Professor Wadsworth. As for sports in France, P rofessor Wadsworth said that tennis which originated there and is a French na me is played a great deal while bicycle racing and skiing also rank high in popularity. Each year it has been the custom of the French to have a bicycle race with its route all around the border of the whole country. Professor Wadsworth recommends the French language for everyone because he believes it will never die out. To exemplify this, he told of how after more than 150 years of Englis h control in Canada, U1e French people there still speak t his tongue.

Slot Machines Might Replace Service Stations Try hitting the jack-.p ot! In the opinion of Art Davis~ a service station operator for thirteen years, there will be no gas s t ations_in the future. A customer will drive up to a mechanical pump, put in a quarter and wait for his tank to be filled. This bit of prophecy was gathered in a recent interview, in which he said he has been with the same comp any' 1'61' n yeai's:- " ----'- - ---- -

"The oddest incident that ever happened to me," Mr. Davis related, "was once when an old man drove into my station and said to fill it up. I did and he paid me with a ten dollar. bill, telling me to keep the change. About a week later this same old.._m iµi drove in again and asked if I might give him the rest of his ten dollars worth of gasoline, which I gladly did. We started talking and the next thing I knew be brought out an old flintlock revolver and gave it to me for my serviees. Today that gun is worth $200." The gasoline tax is six cents per gallon. Four cents is used for state roads and bridges, one cent is used for state old age assistance, and the remaining one cent goes to the federal government. The gasoline industry has not been affected by the defense program but the const1mption has gone up considerably. Transportation of men, supplies and machin· ery and the training · in the aviation division has greatly increased the consumption of gasoline in the United States. "The modern-driver," added Mr. Davis, "does not know enough about the car he or she is driving. Too many times an accident is the result of the lack of knowledge of the automobile. The average driver doesn't know the difference be· tween a spark plug and an axle." "My most courteous customers," concluded Mr; Davis, "are the. peo· ple who are not in a hurry and .who don't keep' yelling ta hurry up or make it snappy, Women are, by far, my most courteous customers. 0 Mr. Davis likes to fish and hunt very well. Most of his spare time is used in either mending or mak• ing some fishing tackle or shining some of h is guns, of which he has a collection of 19 d ifferent kinds both ancient and modern.

THE ADVOCATE

Red Cross and Defense Stamps Civic Project Bl' BOB JONES,

Several letters have been sent to the Advocate asking why defense stamps are not sold here in Lincoln high school and why dona. tions to the Red Cross are not received here. Someone has suggested that these practices could be carried on during the lunch hour. Others have suggested that races be held to see who can buy the most stamps or make the most contributions. Several would have a poll of the school taken to see who had bou.g'ht and how much. It has been decided that since so many agencies connected with the home are selling bonds and memberships in the Red Cross, it would be better to keep this out of the school. If a competition were staged, many of the poorer students who have a hard enough time going to school would feel left out, and wouhl feel badly because they are unable to do their share.' The same is true of a school-wide poll. J calousies and hard feelings might very easily arise and turn a good cause into a bad weapon. The subject is also better treat ed as a civic affair than as one of school importance alone. It is best that whatever contributions students can make to national defense be connected with the home rather than the school. · There are so many places where one can buy defense stamps. Grocery stores, paper carriers and many other agencies sell them. And contributions to the Red Cross can be mailed or taken to local headquarters.

GEORGE SHAW

Parting is such sweet sorrow-at least that's what they say. As Static editors come, so must they go; much to the relief of the rest of school. But with me, it's different; it's a relief to me too, so there. I think that the fifth column in this country is being very rapidly disposed of because in the last few days I have lost quite a few of my able-bodied spies without a trace of them. But the F .B.I. didn't have to get my spies because they were just common little gossip spies and not international spies.

Arrangements are now being made at the Woodrow Wilson high of Long Beach, California, t o handle and sell defense stamps in the school. The stamps will be brought at the post. office and will be l'esold to students. The Woodrow Wilson junior high school students also recently were given a demonstration of the lie detector. Students acted as human guinea pigs. Sophomores of th e North Cache high school in Richmond, Virginia, may have their own individual pictures in their 1942 yearbook. It was voted unanimously by s tudents and is yet to be a pproved by the faculty. To determine whether or 110t tra ffic signals are needed at Omaha South high, the boys in diversified occupations cla sses are t aking a count of cars that go past during the school day, all jay walkers and anyone walking across in the intersections. Added to the list of lat est neck lace cr azes are these seen at junior-senior high school of Junction City, Ka nsas. Namely they are: glazed cookies, thermometers, pen; cils, nuts a nd barnyard animals strung on a chain.

Open Forum To the Editor: During t he last World war the women knitted socks, sweaters, and scarfs for the soldie rs, made bandages for the Red Cross, and made the soldiers as happy and comfortable as possible. Now maybe we won 't be knitting socks and sweaters, but we can do other important things. One of these is to remember the boys in the Army. Navy, Marines and other branche s of the militar y service.

Nebraska Capitol Has Traffic Problem "CommercialFlying Because of Its 97,000 Visitors Annually Not For Women' Can you imagine that Nebras- are the four columns at the north Joe Ammerman ka's beloved building, the state capital is handicapped by inadequate traffic facilities? No, it doesn't need any four lane highways but it does need more up and down elevator space. Anyway, that's the . word from Roy Dickerson, tourist guide at the capitol. "Only two of the four elevators in the building are used for passengers and that remaining two, transport supplies and changing office equipment;" Mr. Dickerson reports. "The stairways are not used at present and perhaps never will J:?e, because people, spcially children, could gain entrance to the floors on which offices are located. The capitol receives most of its visitors during June, July, August and the early part of September. Home football games and Sunday also bring in many visitors. Mr. Dickerson stated, "97,033 people registered as visitors and 58,002 went on guide tours duripg 1940-41." The latest notable person to tour the capitol was Major Hershey, head of selective service in the United States army. Among the many valuable and rare things found in the capitol

end of the building. These were brought over from Italy and there are only four more in the world today. The columns are several feet in diameter and are a rose colored marble. Others were brought from Spain, Belgium, France and a few from Turkey. The terrace above the center of the second floor is white onyx, while floor marble comes from the same countries as the marble for the columns. The many interesting places tourists are shown, include the rotunda supreme court, senate chamber, four courts, museum, observation tower and the gover· nor's reception room. In the museum are many historical and Indian relics, such as clothing and weapons, coin collections and! odd pieces of antique furniture. Visitors may see the unicameral in session and find out. how the work of an organization of this type is carried on. At the present time, the capitol has approximately 1,560 employes. Many more state offices are be· ing located in the building while federal offices have been moved to the Buick building because of lack of space.

Here's Where Your Waste Paper Goes

'Gain Education First,' Murray

So you've been wondering how the paper shortage is affecting Lincoln high, have you?

"Do you r ealize that one of the great est things you can do rig ht now to help your country is to

from the waste baskets and is then baled. This is sent on to mills to be re -processed. Many teacher& are using old ballots and other old partly used paper for tests. Some are having the pupils use half a sheet of paper daily. Every small saving mounts up when thousands of pupils save a little precious paper. In the office they are running bulletins on both sides of the paper instead of just on one side, as before. All hand cut bills are saved and J. S. Wallace makes pads to be used for notes in the office. The sound sy&tem takes the place of paper ordinarily used for morning bulletins and old cards and locker ca rds are saved and used on the other side.

This was the question Miss Ethel Murray has been asking all h er hygiene classes lately. "We should not ·become panicky," she continued, "but should think clearly be· ca use these are the type of people our country needs most." Girls in Miss Murray's hygiene classes are taking the regular Red Cross course, but there has been more added to it. The gir ls are learning to care for the patients, take tempera tures, pulse rates, and respiration, besides learning indications of sickness. They also are learning the proper care of the sick room, ventilation, heating, lighting, and cleaning. "Since I am a reserve Red Cross nurse," Miss Murray continued in her t alk to the girls, "I may be called at any ti me, but I am willing to leave in a minute's notice, if I am needed.

"Personally I don't think women should .go out for commercial flying; though it is all right for a hobby," was a statement made by Joe Ammerman, an airplane pilot who is now employed at the Union airport here in Lincoln. Mr. Ammerman, whose home is in Kentucky, now has about · 255 flying hours. He plans to continue his flying and become fully prepared for a flight instructor. Thirty-five flying hours are required for a private license, 18 solo hours and 17 dual. A commercial requires 175 flying hours, or 50 · dual, 115 solo and 10 of night fly5ng. A 300-mile cross country flight is also necessary. An instructor's rating requires 200 solo, with a commercial license and a passing mark in a written government test. When asked about the maneuvers, he said, "I like them · very much and some of the most common are ·s• turns, shallow eights, steep eights, climbing turns, lazy eights and spot landings." "At present I think there is the greatest opportunity of all time for airplane pilots," he declared.

Between The Covers BARBARA HOEVET

Student reading capacity is high, according to circulation figures of the Lincoln high library. 3,310 books were checked out dur· ing the month of December, 1941, which was only a 15 day month beca use of Christmas vacation. Popularity of pamphlets and periodicals amounted to 391 released and this excludes all current iss ues on the r acks which w er e read by an uncounted number of students. Last year's circulation alone amounted to 3'3,982. Fiction constitutes the most popular of the library's assets with social ·science and history taking the second place. A new book r ecently received by the library is Hans C. Adamson's "Lands of New World Neigh· bors." Attention swing fans! Here is a book that is just wha t you want.

The book has many full page pictures and a chapter on organizing a ba nd in addition, Wild tales of mystery, mutiny, storms and disaster are found in the book, "Davy Jone's Locker," by Fulton Reed, a story of the Astova n expedition of 1810.

.\.ttendance Of Schools Falls Defense Industries, And Low Birth Rate Cut Total Of Pupils A new trend in high school at· tendance is being noted in the latest reports sent to the city high schools by the board of education. The last school year of 1940-41 had the heaviest decrease in the average daily attendance in the past three years in the public schools of the city of Lincoln . .The highest average . daily attendance was back in 1931-32 when 15,678 were attending the Lincoln public schools. Average daily attendance in the city public schools. 1925-26-11,588. 1926-27-No record. 1927-28-13,232. 1927-29-No record. 1929-30-14,132. 1931-32-14,398.

1933-34-15,678. 1936-36-15,473. 1937-38-14,153. 1938-39-13,939, 1939-40-13, 7f·8. 1940-41-13,013.

"The reason for the drop in the school population is partly due to the removal of families to locations where defense plants and projects are located." This statement was made by 0. H. Hackman boys' adviser for Lincoln high, "While we are facing a drop in school population, schools near defense plants cannot even come near housing the number of pupils desiring to get in." Another interesting factor in the school statistics is the fact that the population in the high schools is going up in percentage while the junior high percentage is staying the same and the grade school's percentage is dropping for the total number of pupils attending these schools, respectively. The greatest single reason for drop in all school attendance is the lower birth rate. This can be followed through all grades, year by year, and has reached senior high schools for the first time noticeably in the school year 1940-41. "More people are staying through high school to complete their course and graduate," Mr. Hackman went on to say. "Also, new and more interesting subjects and curriculums have been added to our school courses. Another reason rs the fact that because of the recent depression there have been fewer jobs for the boys in high school. With the present demand for workers the percentage will in all probability drop considerably."

F a1nous Scientists Drawings Made Pastel drawings of Louis Pasteur, the French scientist, and of William Harvey, the riiscoverer of blood circulation, have been done by students of C. W. Manthey. The replica of Louis Pasteur was done by Joan Overman, that of William Harvey, by Stanley Sohl, entirely outside of school hours. Plans are being made to put them on display as soon as name plates are completed. Others in Mr. Manthey's classes are planning similar paintings. The purpose of the drawings is to give the students a correct idea of what these men of science look like. Joan plans to enter her picture in the Nebraska Regional exhibit of the National Scholastic awards and in the summer at the State Fair.

Four Pupils Are Spelling {:hamps Champion spellers are Willis Taylor, Dorothy Bodenhamer, Charles Williams and Norma Lee Scneder at the spelling bee which was the feature of the Round Table club meeting held Thursday, January 15.

"MBat inspection should be made compulsory in all the states in America," was stated by F. R. Woodring, veterinary surgeon employed by the Lincoln Packing company. Mr. Woodring talked to the first period physiology 1 classes, Monday, January 12, on meat inspection. He defined his subject in the following way, "Meat inspection insures a wholesome supply of meat and meat products and enforces sanitation." "Meat inspection was inaugurated in Germany in 1811," continued Mr. Woodring, "but it was not until 1891 that the first laws were passed by Congress dealing with the sanitation of meat. On June 30, 1906, Congress passed our first meat inspection law." He said that since 1906, the U. S. has gone a long way in improving methods of inspecting meat : there.fore today the United States has the finest system of meat inspection in the world. In concluding his speech he ~aid, "Any meat inspection to be effective must mclude both anti-mortem ::ind post-mortem inspection."

Seniors Fill Out Questionnaires Questionnaires sent out to the five January senior home rooms by the Links board have been returned, and an unusually high number of these students wlil have their pictures in the annual publication. The national honor society pictures were taken in a down town studio, because room 131 which will be used for club and home room photographs was not ready for use. In the Links office last week, a much chagrined young woman came in and asked for a copy of the 1941 Links. It was explained that her brother, a j unior in Lincoln high, had purchased a copy last spring. The sister, who attends the University of Nebraska, wanted some of the pictures for her sorority house. After admiring them for sometime, she finally committed Hari-Kari on the book with a pair of scissors. When the damage was discovered, her brother demanded, and received another copy of the Links, pricefive dollars.

Miss Swanson discussed fashion trends of the season, style in clothing, personal appearance and color combinations. She gave an example of a college girls wardrobe based on a minmum a llowance. "The first impression is the one people take notice of," Miss Swanson said. "A person who has sty!~ has a real appreciation of beauty." Style, according to Miss Swanson, means excellent fabrics, good fit and good workmanship. The fashion trends of the season are to have narrower skirts, peplums, smooth shoulders and large armholes, and simplicity in clothes. The colors are gay and hosie.ry will probably be either cotton or n ylon. Miss Swanson sugg·ested that a wardrobe should have a basic color with other colors which go well with it.

First on Deck The swimming team will be testing its strength for the first time this se ason in an engagement with Roosevelt high school of Des Moines; which h as ca ptured the Iowa s tat e championship for the p ast three years. The meet will be held here Friday, January 23, at 3:00 p. m., and will be the second m eeting of the two schools, L incoln having journeyed to Des Moines last year, where the local t eam was downed by the · Roosevelt mermen 48-18. Breast Stroke Outstanding. Without doubt the most outstanding event of the meet will be the 100 yard breast .stroke. Bill Freeman, Roosevelt's ace breast stroker, will be trying for the nationa l high school shor t-course r ecord. Freeman has chalked up times coming within one second o f that record w hich at present is 1 :03.8. Probable Meets. Coach Marvyn · Francis will · probably have Branch and either . Schlaebitz or Totten s wimming the 40 yar d freestyle, J im W ater s in the breast stroke event, while the 220 yard-freestyle is still far f r om decided. Roger Ellis, holding the number one position, is a t pr es ent suffering from a back and neck spra in a nd may n ot be in condition Friday.

After winning seven in a row , the Links are going to try to stretch the record to ten in a row in the next two weeks. The games are Omaha Central, Saturday, January 24; Crete, Friday, January 30, and Omaha South, Saturday, January 31, the South game being the only one away. The Links team has downed Omaha Central and Sou t h, 35 to 29 and 27 to 25. respectively. The game with Crete should be one of the less strenuous affairs although the game with Crete year in and year out is one of the toughes t. Crete, usually the underdog, makes a whale of a g a me . out of it. T he only returning member of last years squad in Don Redman who is the sparkplug of the Crete team. !rt the Omaha Central line-up, several names stand out. Tw o are , footba llers, Potts and Grove, who caused Lincoln trouble en the g r idiron and a lso in the Lincoln Central game earlier in the year. In the first game, Grove potted seven points to be one of the leaders, while P otts got three points. The Omaha South game is a n yone's game, as indicated by the Lincoln-South game January 3, where one bucket m ade the difference. The spearhead of t h e South of fense is John F ount ain who ha s a marvelous eye for the basket and is cool under fire. Another one of the Sordstedt brothers will also be in there m a k ing it hot for the Links. Coach Weyand will likely open the games w it h H a ll and Bloom at g uards, McArthur at t he pivot part and Dea n and O'Donnell at the forwards.

Two Sioux City Teams Fall Before·Lincoln's Rampaging HoopsterS Seven Wins For L.H.S. Cage Squad Lincoln high 's hoop experts continued their march toward an undefeated season Friday, J anuary 16, by la ying Sioux City East aside 26 to 20. During most of the g ame someone h ad placed a cover on Lin coln's basket. The cover , however, was removed often enough for Weyand's boys t o give E a st the h onor of being the sixth str aight t eam t o fall. This victory is one more h uge step toward the Missouri Valley crown. The Lincoln high cage squad is blowing up the foot ball tea m 's sta t e and Missouri Valley r~putation by defeating the best teams of both conferences in basketball. This game found Lincoln high's offense w orking like a clock , except that they couldn't make t he cloc k ring. Time after ti me a play would t h row a man open under t he basket only to miss an easy shot . This was a game w here difficult shots were made a nd setups bobbled. Lincoln's Lead Small. Lincoln Jed at ever y q uarter , but never by a margin to boast about. The first quart er ended a close 5 to 4, but the second quarter p r oduced Lincoln's biggest lead 15 to 9. Dur ing the t hird quar ter t he invader' s brought t he score within 2 points of a tie, but John Dean put it out of reach at 24 to 16. Sioux City E ast didn't show a n y star, but presented a s crappy five no outstanding player. Pentony was t h eir hig h poin t m an with 6 p oints. Dean had 8 and Hall 7 for Lincoln's scorin g honors. Weyand is on t he sear ch for a forward to s tart oppos ite Dean.

This vict ory gave the Links seven straig ht wins and hopes for a streak of eleven games without a defeat . A second quarter r ally that found ever y Lincoln p layer shooting a nd no Lincoln player m issing totaled 18 point s. After t h is explosive r ally Lincoln seemed to let up and coast in on the lead. They grabbed a 27 to 8 lead at the h alf but wer e outscored 13 to 7 in the second h alf. Th e Sioux City Central five jumped t o an early lead , bu t was unable to hold it. Dean's bucket put the Links a head 8 t o 7 and that wa_s the last t ime Sioux City was in s triking distance.

When asked whether he t hough t weightlifting is all r ight for h igh school s t udents, h is a nswer was that it depends on the age. "Th e best agP. for beginning weigh tlifting is 16 years old and up ," he said. The best diet h e thought in training is t o live a clean life, no smoking and n o d rinking. One should d rink a lot of water and at least a quart of milk a day. Coffee isn't good for one in t raining. H e also said that a good quantity of meat and potat oes is good for one and t hat too m an y sweets is hard on one's training.

Welcon-ie Sophomores! Do You Know Your Cabinet? Mary Dye ls President Mary Dye and Mary Lou Stark el ·were elected president and treasurer, respectively, of the lOB c abinet at its first meeting Thursc:lay, J anua ry 29. Plans for the sophomor~ ,Party were discussed and ·F riday, F ebrua r y 13, was set as a t entative da t e for the party. When ask ed of their first im· pression of Lincoln high , all of the members of the cabinet agreed that the largeness of the building and the friendly att itude of the students were the outst;wding fea-

tur es. Most of them felt that, although they were used to more time for lunch, the present lunch system is very efficient, considering the number of students it serves. In comparing Lincoln high with their former sch ools, the general opinion was tha t the halls were more crowded and "Ever yone seems to be in a hurry." Sponsors of the sophomore clas~ are Miss Ellen Anderson and M iss Josephine Wible.

Mock Football Hinders Students' Safety in Halls Quite evidently the football season is not over. A few changes have been made in the form of the game, but it is still being played. There are no rules and ther-cfore it is rougher, but if one is observant a slight similarity to football may be noticed. The place : The hall in front of the cafeteria. · The time: From appToximatcly 11 :20 until 3 :15. The teams : We-Haven't-Anything-ElseTo-Do All Stars and the Just-Passing-ByChamps. 'l'he game is very simple and anyone may paTticipate. Even spectators are cordially invited to join in. The m...,tltod is first to select a bal.l. A piece of nicely wadded paper, an ice cream wrapper, an apple core, or an orange peel is satisfactory. Kick this swiftly toward the chosen goal. The goal may be eith~r wall or one ei1d of the central hall. I:f a direct course to the end of the hall is chosen, it will be more .fun, ·as the player runs into stiffer competition. If au oppon~nt is met, kick him lightly on the shins or better still, trip him carefullv. The ]Jall may be lost in the ensuing

scrambl~, but when tiie player emerges, battered and slig·htly bent, he may choose a new ball and continue merrily on his way. Sincere enthusiasts of this game pe1'haps will arrange for a fund for providing hospital care for inocent bystanders who may be . caught out of the safety zones. Better yet, eliminate the cost of hospital care and add to the safety and appearance of the school by ridding the halls of the soscalled balls necessary to the game.

"Boy, am I hot tonig·ht. !" he said as he sat down on the bunsen burner.

Open Forum More Co-Operation Asked. To the Editor: La.st night I went to the Court House to buy my father's 1942 car license. About ten feet in front of the door stood a large box labeled "Books for U. S. Soldiers" and in the top of the box was cut a large slit. Being curious as to how the drive was gaining headway, I glued my eye to the top of the box and peered through the slit. Great was my surprise and chagrin to find not a single book staring back at me: . Then I remembered we had been requested to bring books for the soldiers to school and not a person in my home room had bothered to do so. This set me to thinking. If we can't find the time to co-operate in a book drive, how can the American public expect to raise itself to the task of donating the money and services indefinitely in winning this war ?

Rubber Shortage Hits Even Athletes Get out your cards and checkers because you're probably going to see plenty of them in the future. Popular games 15uch as tenni.s, golf, basketball, football, and the like, which take balls, will probably be replaced. For balls are made of rubber and there's a rubber shortage, so -it looks bad for outdoor athletics. Shortage of rubber really affects every sport from the gum the athletes chew to shoes they wear, and how can a fellow go fishing without his rubber boots, or horse racing without rubber bits? A.s Whitney Martin recently wrote, "It will catch the boys going and coming, from the rubber checks they might get fr9m a shady promoter to the rubber bands they put around their bankrolls. Although that won't make so much difference as there won't be many bankrolls, and putting a rubber band that isn't there around the bankroll that isn't there would seem to be a waste of time. Wouldn't it?"

Will War Affect The Length of Madame's Skirt?

''Some teachers certainly haven't any memories. Why, that one can't even remember my name." Ever heal' that before? After all a teacher only has nearly 200 students each semester. Why shouldn't she know all of thern 1 But, stop and think some time. Do you know your teachers'? Oh, of course, you know their names or, at least, you can pronounce a reasonable facsimile. But could you write correctly the complete name of every one of your teachers1 One class in Lincoln high school tried to do this and the shocking result was that few actually could. To many students this does not ·seem necessary. However, since teachers and students must some way find a satisfying common ground, it is a great help if they know each other. Teachers cannot do it all. Much of the responsibility lies on the shoulders of the students. The above mentioned common ground is very possible and often prevents a bottleneck in school progress. So, for a more en;joyahle Rehool life and for fairness to yourself, know your teachers.

Any comment made in this column does not necessarily represent any sane person in this school, but if you see anyone reading this and he starts in changing colors and walking on the ceiling with liis eyes shaking like dice you '11 know it '~ a tremendous success. (Jn the meantime send for the wagon and the men in the white coats. Have 'em pick me up too. I '11 .be hanging from the nearest tr ee, on the end·of a rope.)

. 60 ! What does this number mean to you 1 Most likely it brings to mind the birtht.lay of the President of the Unitet.l States, J!'ranklin D. Roosevelt. Often we pupils in high school, because we are so busy attending to the everyday duties of life, forget that there are other boys and girls our own age, many who can't even walk and get about. Going on constantly is the fight to run down this dreaded disease, infantile paralysis, which strikes so unexpectedly. "'What can we do to help1" we ask ourselves. Since we are only in high school we can't actually go out and help take care of the sick, but we cM help by giving our extra dimes to help promote the fight to cure the disease. We can deny ourselves a show, perhaps, or even some of those extra packages of gum, we really don't need. This is a time of sacrifice, and now is a good time to start. If we help support our president's diamond jubilee birthday, we know our dimes Have you stopped to think what are going to help fight this dread disease, so someday we will know the cause and cure for effect war will have on fashion? this disease called poliomyelitis. So let's give Will skirts get shorter? Will some all the dimes we possibly can! Its a good way one pop up with a new idea for to let the President know we are backing hosiery?

the styles of shoes be changed? Will men's suits be vestless and cuffless? Will they have but one pair of trousers instead of two? According to a saleswoman of women's ready-to-wear, we'll just have to wait and see about the length of skirts. During World war I skirts were made shorter, but now there is the question of stocking styles. The latest in stockings are the long cotton hose which come in all colors. A beauty operatOr from one of the down town shops foresees no drastic change in hair styles. However, for the ·last year or so hair has been getting shorter. The latest in shoes for New Yorkers are blackout shoes. They have small, leather encased flashlights on each side of the tongue, which are invisible by day. Then, as to men's suits, on a recent radio program, "Report to the Nation," a dramatization was given which took place in summer, 1942. A man attempted to buy i. suit with two pair of trousers, and ended with one pair of trousers, without cuffs, and a coat. "

Ahvays Room for Young Journalists Says McConnell There is and always will be an open field for young journalists, for people will never cease want· ing to know what is going on about them, according to Ray McConnell, managing editor of the Lincoln Journal. He said, "A person studying for journalism must have an allaround education. A good background in history, economics, government, arts and science, is most essential. Shorthand is not required in a small newspaper but in time a - reporter develops a "shorthand" of his .o wn. A student preparing for a future journalistic career should be well informed on European and Asiatic affairs," commented Mr. McCon~ nell. When asked if a university .course would be a great deal of help, Mr. McConnell replied, "It would be a very helpful asset and will be increasingly so, because newspapers are growing more complex each day." "Newspaper work is a 'White Collar' job," declared Mr. McConnell. "A newspaperman is one of the first to be hit by inflation because his wages stay the same. However, the newspaperman's wages will go down slower than the laboring man's because he has a standard pay." Mr. McConnell closed the interview by remarking that the better the gTades in school, the better nevv'spaperman tile student will make, but he concluded, "Grades aren't everything."

Lincoln High Sons Rival Annie Laurie Miss Elsie Cather has taken to giving her classes a model by which they .should conduct themselves. In her fourth period class, she was in the midst of reciting the poem, "Sweet Annie Laurie," which describes Annie Laurie as hav· ing "a voice as soft as a babbling spring, and footsteps as dainty and qiuet as those of a fairy," when the classroom door was opened with a flourish, and one of the famed sons of the Red and Black rushed in, sliding his heavy work .boots loudly across the floor. With his mouth full of gum, he announced loudly, "I guess I'm supposed to be in here;• and sat down heavily in the nearest seat. Mfs.s Cather concluded her poem saying, "If only the poem said something about chewing gum, it would be perfect."

Girls, Prepare To Fill Men's Shoes in Future Girls-have you given t he future 'm uch of a thought? If you haven't, you had better start. The war has given the boys a vague· idea of what's ahead of them and some girls have tried to think about it. Many girls will soon be stepping into the shoes. of mechanics, factory workers, bus drivers, shoemen, grocery-men, bakers, and all those empty shoes the draft has left. Some girls will be donning over-alls, "clod-hoppers," and turning into "farmerettes," with hours even worse than a schoolgirl's. We've an awful lot to learn if we're going to keep production running smoothly as before. Can't you just pictu!'e yourself in the driver's seat of a tractor or out in the field husking corn or digging potatoes? (Hmm-think I'll spend my vacation this summer on a farm an·d catch up on some back knowledge. Guess I'd better spend some time in dad's workshop hereafter, too. I don't even know a monkey-wrench from a screw-driver. ) The Scouts have a pretty good motto in "Be Prepared," because you never can tell just what the future holds in store for you and it's a prety good idea to think ahead. I'm taking botany just in case I'm turned into a farmerette and .if I'm ev~r an ambulance driver or Red Cros first aid nurse or assistant, physiology and hygiene will come in mighty handy; Come to think of it, doesn't it really sound like fun? We'll show the "stronger" sex just how weak the "weaker" sex is!

Lincoln Majorette Attends Carnival, Twirling Contest Gloria Green, junior, attended the traditional Winter Carnival in St. Paul, Minnesota, held Januar y 26 to February 1. This is an annual national carniv·a1 which includes almost every sport, bands, parades, and majorette contests. A well known business man presides as k ing, and reigns over h is 30,000 subjects, Tuesday night a "Queen of the Snows" was chosen from a group of 30 princesses. After the coronation ceremonies, the queen led the carnival su.bjects in a coronation ball. Gloria entered the National baton twirling contest and had one lesson from the world's greatest baton twirler. On the way to St. Paul she made a stop at a town where she gave an exhibition of tap dancing and baton twirling between the halves of a basketball game. She also had the honor of sitting with King Boreas VIII. Gloria said ib was a wonderful experience a.nd she brought back many ideas for the band and majorettes.

In .Other Schools Schools throughout the United States have had practice air raid drills the pa.st few weeks. School papers have printed instructions concerning warning sounds, drills, air raid refuge, and what to do about incendiaries. The amount of money already spent for defense stamps by students of the Junior-Senior High Schools in Junction City, Kansas, is $8,389.47. Students in the Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, can tell a week ii1 advance what the cafeteria will be serving. The menu is printed in the school paper each week. A device for testing driver.s' reaction has recently been constructed by a Roosevelt high school student. The device will be calculated to one-hundredth of a second, the period between the first d~nger warning and the application of the brakes. The machine is made up of such things as a clock motor, a· toy transformer and a doorbell buzzer. When the school establishes a safety driving class, the machine will be used. Heavily nickel plated brass tags are now worn by students in South Pasadena high school. The inetat tags bear the name, street address, city, state and telephone number of the owner. These infor mation tags attacheC!I to chains may be worn as bracelets or aronnd the nl'!ck and· cost 25 cents fully lettered. Fremont high has a system for increasing and keeping the library up to date. Each Wednesday in English Classes "the hat is passed around," and students donate a penny or more toward the. book fund. They usually collect enough money to get one or two books a week, and a committee of students selects which to buy.

Farmers Angry, Daylight Saving Arrives Anyivay Roosters are either going to have to learn to crow an hour earlier, sun or no sun, or else give up their traditional occupation. Two o'clock a. m., February 9, "old father time" is going to skip over one hour for the duration of the war. Farmers are still muttering under their breath from 1917, when Congress decided to give the U.S. daylight saving time. The cow, they claim, is a very finical, balanced creature and stubbornly refuses to yield as much milk as before on defense hours. They also insist the dew stays on the grass until 9 a. m. and farmers cannot work their fields until the dew dries. Rising before dawn, they claim they will surely- fall dead from fatigue before the day's end. Despite all the grumbling Congress passed the bill. Clarence Lea in an attempt to explain the bill stated that peak consumption of power is caused by factories and offices be.tween 5 and 7 p. m. By cutting down on this load, the Administration hopes to save 736,282,000 kilowatthours of electricity each yearenough juice to produce more than 70,000,000 pounds of much-needed alumii:um for planes. Another reason is that working people can be home before dark and the blackouts. This change does not mean people m~st be awake and ready at 2 a. m. to set. their clocks and watches an hour ahead, but the best plan is t o do so before jumping into bed, so you won't be an hour lat e to school,

First .Aid Is Demonst1·ated Red Cross emergency methods to be used in case of accidents were presente.d by Llgyd Jenkins of the· Lincoln Telephone company and patient, George Myers, Friday morning before Lincoln high faculty and student body in two as· semblie.'5. . ' Mr. Jenkins, following an introduction to the audience by .Ralph Beechner, began his talk on Red Cross methods by stating that many of the 100,000 people killed in accidents . in 1941, · were killed due to lack of immediate treatment for shock. "At occurence of an accident," Mr. Jenkins .said, "treat the pa· tient by stopping all bleeding, keep him breathing, keep him warm, treat for shock, and do not move hi.in if unnecessary until arrival of a doctor." Mr. Jenkins then performed some Red Cross first aid methods on the patient, Mr. Myers, which consisted of the stopping of bleeding on all parts of the )Jody by administering p1·essure on' certain ve.i ns and arteries by the use of fingers and bandages. He then showed the audience how to bandage a broken hand, or leg. Mr. Jenkins' closing remarks were, "Remember at the scene of an accident to call a doctor immediately, but the most import~nt point to remember ·is never to move the patient unless absolutely necessary."

A~ove are the contestants who competed in the Faulkner Cup oratorical. contest. From left to right are Gerald Ryan, Jack Wenstrand, wmner holding the cup, and William Angle.

C11p Awarded To Wenstrand Angle,· Ryan Also In Competition For Annual Faulkner Cup Award By the unanin1ous decision of the judges, the Faulkner cup was awarded to Jack Wenstrand, senior a t the climax of the annual oratorical contest held in assembly Thursday, February 5. J ack delivered "Commemoration t o a Date," an original oration. "In commemoration to the date of September 18, 1931, I do dedicate the world," he said. "This is the date of the alleged railroad explosion in southern Ma nchuria, first outburst of the present world conflict." William Angle, first orator, presented "Peace," a nd said, "After the successful termination of this war, we must find a peace equivalent to the settlement made after the last war. We will have that U nited States of the \Vo rld about which meH ll>1,ve dreamed and for which men have died." Gerald Ryan, the third speaker, presented a timely oration, en· titled "Plea of the Unknown Soldier. " "Those who die in this war shall not die in vain," Ryan stated. His oration was based on a plea of those boy:> living now who will be the unknown soldiers. . Vice-president of the Forum, ·.Barba ra Griswold, presided over the assembly. • Judges were Val Peterson, sec· retary to Governor Griswold, Miss Vera Harvey, student at Nebraska Wesleyan, who won the sweepstakes at the University of South Dakota and has received many other honors in speech and debate, and Miss Virginia Crawford, also of Wesleyan, winner of the 1941 State College Peace Oratorical contest, winner of the 1942 All· Wesleyan Oratorical contest and of the 1942 South Dakota Oratorical contest. The orations were judged not so much on the content of the speech, but mainly on speaking ability including poise, grammar and delivery. All of the orations were original and written in connection with regula r work ·, in debate classes. While the judges .were making the important decision, Hugh Rangeler led the audience in a few songs.

Dreaded Thirteenth Brings Forth Fears Maybe -superstitions are silly things to believe in or to worry over, but it's a good thing to take care and clo nothing wrong next Friday, for it happens to fall on the thirteenth of February. (Oh, the dreaded th irteenth !) If you see a black cat, it might be safer to walk around the block and avoid the cat, than let it cross you r path, and suffer the consequences. A ladder has always been a useful device, but on this evil day it becomes a fear to the human race. Gi rls, watch out and take special care not to break any mirrors. The follow ing are other items of which to beware on this fatal day : Don't step on cracks In the sidewalks. Don't take the last piece of C'\ ke, or spill any salt. Don't. drop

knife. Don't look at a full moon through an open window. Don't jump the . middle step of the stairs. Don't start out on a journey and then return for a forgotten article. Don't be the thirteenth person at a dinner table. If you take care to avoid the above, you will have a: good chance of surviving the day fairly intact. .

Standards of practice for grant· ing high school diplomas were ap· proved at a m eeting of the board of education February 3. ·Some changes were made to gear the secondary· education program t o war-time conditions. Diplomas are issued t wice each year by the high schools of Lincoln to all pupils who have completed requirements for graduation since diplomas were last .awarded. As a rule all requirements for graduation must be completed in residence. Two Exceptions Made. A .pupils, however, w ho lacks not to exceed ten h ours for graduation may present the necessary credits from t he Teachers . College high school when earned not la ter than the end of the summer · term immediately following his withdrawal from high school. Such program and the acceptance of such credits must be r ecommended by the principal of the school and approved by the superintendent. A pupil may, by similar arrangement , present proper credits from the extension department of t he University of Nebraska of high school credit if the work has been taken on the high school level. Not more than ten hours will be ac· cepted toward · meeting the re· quirements for graduation. Emergency Affects Rules. For the duration of the present emergency a pupil who is in h is last semester of high school and lacks five hours or Jess for graduation may t a ke not to exceed five hours of work in high school while in attendance at the university upon recommendation of the principal and a ppr oval by the superintendent. Such a program will be approved only for the semester immediately following the completion of the pupil's high school work up to that point.

The board of education conducts a modified high school curriculum whereby pupils who have been out of .school for some time, and who are unable to attend day school, may complete high school requirements under the -direction of the board of education. The board rec· ognizes the supervised Study Cent er of t he modified hig h school program as conducted by the WPA as cooperating schools in making this service possible.

section, it was very convenient, as ·the first building to go on the model was her own home. "Windows of the houses took tedious hours to cut, due to the tendency of the tiny pieces of balsa wood to split and the window glass of cellophane wouldn't act as it should," she pointed out. She solved the problem of roofing for the houses when she noticed that sandpaper closely resembled the rough tile surface of roofs. Winifred found di~ficulty in putting the balustrade of her neighbor's porch, because glue on the quarter inch balusters would stick to the underside of her nails. "Mac's Service station proved the greatest enjoyment to build. Not to be stopped by lack of 'a gasoline pump, I constructed one, a little over half an inch high, Skelly trade-mark signs marked the station's driveway," she stated. Winifred used a concoctio)l of salt, flour, and water for both the · brick in chimneys and streets. When this mixture is painted, it can be imagined to re_semble brick; without paint, it is similar to street paving, as was used in Smith's drive-in, and sidewalks. Trees, grass and hedges were not difficult, as "he used cork for trunks anr1 g r<'P.n sponrr<> for folfage. · She collected sawdust from the school workshop, dyed it green, glued it to the surface of boar-ds, ·and she had grass; Winifred concluded, "I acquired a knowledge of architecture· and design in building the model, and certainly learned something about patience."

Northeast Rocks Red and Black Cagers 26-17 Rocl~ets Humble Coaches Lyle Weyand and Ralph Beechner will teach Joe Toman's gymnasium classes. Phil Bordy has taken over after school basketball and Mr. Beechner, the reserve t eam, The new track coach, will have to .conscript an entire team. More than like! y he will call it the football track team. Anyway he should, as it seems that the whole r eserve football t eam is going out for track. Mickey McDermott, who came to Lincoln high from Conception, Mo., wil · try out for Coach Weyand's basketball squad and will be a good end prospect for next year's football squad. After February 14, the end ot the r eserves schedule, Coach Ralph Beechner will begin to gather a track squad in all earnest. Incidentally this date is a month before the state basketball t ournament. This year's regional tournament should be a honey with such teams as Coach Frank Mueller's Nebraska City squad, Clain Sloan's oncedefeated Fairbury quintet, "Jug" Brown's undefeated Falls City five, Cliff Bosley's up and coming Northeast crew, Lyle Weyand's Red and Black squad, and Cliff Ashburn's Beatrice hoopsters. Links sophomo~es seem to be knocking off their oppinents as well as their big brothers are beating theirs, hav ing knocked off College View 44-13 and Northeast sophomores 47-18 and 32-30-. Albert Abbott, former Lincoln high, high jumper, has been working out with the University of Nebraska freshman track team. Future members of the t ennis team seemed to be getting some tips from Fred Perry, Don Budge, and Bobby . Riggs at the tennis mateh the other evening, namely Chick Rawson, Phil Oxley, Don M cArthur, and Bob Klienert. Some former Links s erved as line judges for the matches. They were Norman Rawson, Cadise Humbell, and Harry Acker. Phil Oxley's face is now seen around the reserve bench instead of the sophomore bench as a result of his fin~ basketball playing. Lincoln high is greatly represented in the church team circles at Plymouth church. Darwin Blazek and Cliff Wilson, of last year's basketball squad, are now playing w ith a church team. Bob Martens, J anuary graduate, is now leading the scoring of the city basketball tournament. Bob is a member of Harrington's team. Here's one that is circulating around the basketba ll circles. It seems that a class D player came into a certain Lincoln gymnasium and started shooting baskets from the center of the floor. After potting several, a class A member asked him how he could shoot so well. The reply was, "There isn't any wind in here."

lntra-ci ty Rival In First Battle Wilson, Laub Stars; Bloom, McCrme Hurt In a thrill packed game Tuesday evening the Red and Black cagers dipped their colors to the Rockets from Northeast 26-17 on the coliseum maples. Eddie Hall started the scoring with a b,eautiful long one-handed shot to put the Links in the lead 2-0. Then the Rockets started rocketing and took the lead on a long-shot by Eddie Wilson and setup by Rex Mercer. The first quarter ended ·with Northeast in 5-3. Starting to get faster the second quarter produced more . thrills than scores. While holding their opponents to two points the Red and Black hoopsters were getting but one point themselves and the quarter ended 7-4, Northeast. Al Bloom and Dick McCune were removed from the game having received a blow on the head and cut eye .. All of the scoring in the second canto was done by Johnny Dean and Max Long. Rockets Pull Away. With a barrage · of baskets in the third. quarter the Rockets started pulling away and took a 19-9 third period lead. Cashing in from the ·free throw line was t he only thing that kept the Links ii1 the game during the third eight minutes. Continuing the torrid pace . the Rockets rolled .the score t o 21-10 before the Weyland lads pulled out of it. Sending fresh material into the game the L ii:icoln team began to roll and brought the score to· 16-20 with three minutes left. Then i.t happened the Links allowed Dick Ward to suck unguarded under the Lincoln ba sk et and let Mercer and Laub sift thru ·their defense for t wo buckets. A beautiful side shot and free throw by Ed Sommers ended tl1e scorin1r Wilson, : Laub and Bloom Star. Ed Wilson and Bill Laub were best for Northeast with 9 and 4 poitl1:s respectifully; while Al Bloom, Ed .Hall and Roger O'Donnell, Johnny Dean and Ed Sommers were tops for · Lincoln.

LINCOLN BIG~ SCHOOL, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 194·2

Boys State Will Be Held · This Year

Representatives, Here ls ·Your President!

At Valley Forge when their huts were covered with . snow, and they had hardly clothes enough to keep them warm, or food to keep them from being hungry, it was not easy for the soldiers to see victory ahead. If it had not been for Washington, the American army would have melted away during that dreadful winter at Valley Forge. He kept on marching and fighting, and never gave up, even when things looked worst, and at last, on October 19, in 1781, he captured a whole British army, commanded by Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia. This brought the war to an end. After the Revolution, Washington went back to Mount Vernon, but the people of America would not let him stay there long. The convention met in Philadelphia and formed the Constitution of the United States, and it declared that, instead of a king, the people should choose a man to be the head of the nation for four years at a time. So George Washington became President of the United States and he worked jusl as hard to make the new nation strong, great and peaceful as he had done when he led the army in the Revolution. His second term as President was as successful as his first. He kept the people from getting into trouble with other countries; he kept them from war, danger, quarrels and loses. But it tired him out and made him an old man before his time. He had given almost all his life to America. After Washington's second term, the people wanted him for a third, but he would not accept. Instead he went to Mount Vernon and a quiet life. Then one December day, as he was riding over his farm, he caught cold and on December 12, 1799, he died, More than 200 years have passed since then, but the memory of George Washington is loved as much as he was loved when he was alive.

Bigger And Better Joy Night Forecasted

Links Staff Adds Five Members

Bigger and better than ever this year, Joy Night will contain 17 exceptio·nal acts and each one a headliner. "The try-outs· this year were unusually good," stated Miss Helen Dunlap, "and it took much consideration by the committee to deside on the final 17 acts which would be excepted.'' To all members of Lincoln high school: Do you like Gay Nineties music? If so, come to Joy Night. Are you brave enough to watch a breath taking roller skating act? If so, come to Joy Night. Oo you enjoy super deluxe tap dancing? If so, come to Joy Night. Aren't you wondering what the faculty act will be like this year? If so, come to Joy Night. Do you want to hear that colossal all girl orchestra? If so, come to Joy Night. Do you like to hear hot and smooth piano music? If so, come to Joy Night. Are you curious about what the L club has fixed up for this year? If so, come to Joy Night. Do you want to see some of Lincoln high talented dancers. If so, come to Joy Night. !hese acts and many more will be seen on March 19, 20 and 21 in the Lincoln high auditorium. "Students should start saving their pennies," remarked Tom Green, business manager, "be· cause anyone who is unable to see Joy Night thiS year will be missing a wonderful show."

or rospect1ve Seventy Pieces Air Raid Alarms Of Art Offered

Boys State, for outstanding high school boys in the state of Nebraska, will again be held this year, and probably on its site for the past four years, the agriculture campus, during the last week of May, according to an. announcement of the executive committee of the American Legion at their meeting last Wednesday noon, in the ,Lincoln hotel. For some time it was feared that through the absence of some members in defense jol;ls, Major "Biff" Jones and C. F. Frankforter, the war conditions would mean a halt of Boys State for the duration. Votes compiled by R. C. Patterson, revealed that twothirds of the votes cast from Legion posts throughout the state of Nebraska, w~re in favor of the continuance of Boys State for 1942. The executive committee gave its final decision in favor of the continuance. A subcommittee composed of Vincent Hascall of Omaha, Legion Commander J. Francis McDermott, vice president of Boys State of Omaha, and Justice E. F. Carter of Lincoln, was appointed to work out p lans for the coming convention. Boys State on the agricultural campus has as its purpose promoting good citizenship. Last year some 275 boys attended and this year only 200 are expected, due to the present war conclusions. Boys desiring to become members of Boys State must be sponsored by a civic group.

About 70 pieces of art work will be entered in the National Scholastic art contest by Lincoln high students.

Ag College To Be Site Again

Very many years ·ago, 210 to be exact, on the twenty-second day of February in the year 1732, a little boy was born in an oldfashioned farm-house down in Westmoreland, Virginia. This boy was George Washington, a name never to be forgotten in the minds of the American people, When George was a small boy his father, Augustine Washington, died, and he was brought up by his mother in an old farm-house on the Rappahannock river, just opposite the town of Fredericksburg. At 16, young Washington gave up his school life and became a surveyor.•, This work kept George out-of-doors most of the time and made him healthy, big and strong. He was almost six feet tall, and had light brown hair, blue eyes, a frank face, and a firm and friendly way about him. George was quiet, never talked much, but people always believed ·what he said, and those who worked for him were . always ready and willing to do just as he told them. During the French and Indian war, wh~n France and England were fighting over territory in the United States, Washington was kept busy fighting the Indians, and trying to save the H.ves of poor settlers on the border. In the end, France was defeated, and had to give up all its land in America to the English. Soon after this, George married Martha Custis who brought him a large fortune and good deal of property of his own. They made their home at Mount Vernon on the bank,s of the Potomac river in Virginia. This was Wa,shington's home the rest of his life. On July 3, 1775, Washington took • command of the American forces during the war with England. At this time he was 43 years old, tall, stately, dignified, noble and a soldier all through. This war lasted seven years, and there were many hard and bitter days for General Washington through those years of fighting.

tools. Miss Harder asked that these requirements be complete by June 1, for all the girls who possibly can complete them by then. "This service program is open to all girls whether or not they are in Girl Scouts," she explained.· Sta.rt a service bureau was another of Miss Harder's suggestions. To plan parties, as well as .the services they would participate in, would be among t;heir. duties. A barn dance already is in the air tor them to start on. This dance is to be held February 21, at Leavitt's barn, the Boy Scouts to be guests of the gfrls. The Girls Scouts are to bring box lunches for two. Partners will be drawn. After eat· ing there wil be square dancing. Miss Harder arrived in Lincoln from Denver and then went on to Omaha. She announced that she had been all over the country visiting among the 44,000 senior Girl Scouts,

C. C. Clayton, Former Links, Author of Book Charles C. Clayton, managing editor of the Advocate in 1919, now a. member of the editorial staff of the St. Louis Globe Democrat, has just completed a book, "The Specialist in the News Room," which will be published some time in April. It is hard to keep up to date, he writes to his mother, Mrs. Clara C. Clayton. Once they had to change an editorial between editions because ev~nts had moved so swiftly that the first writing had become out of date. Mr. Clayton has put into his book the results of his own years of experience. The book is in three parts, "The Reporter and His Role," "Mechanics of ·News Writing," and "Specialized Reporting."

With Shirley Grossman as chairman, and Mary Lou Weaver, Frank Emmons, Charles Williams, Ben Pickering and Jean A ndrews as participants, the Columbia School of t he Air will present a discussion on Pan-Americanism on February 20. The national chain · wil.1 p1•eeent

The program is under the direction of Gilbert Rogers. On March 6, several pupils of Miss Elizabeth Grone's class will talk on Mexico and the United States, and Miss Esther Montgom· ery has charge of a student discussion on inter-American cultural ties on March 13.

Spanish Murals Adorn Room 140 Lending a touch of the atmosphere of old Spain to G. Gilbert Rogers' Spanish room, 140, gaily dressed senors and senoritas look down from five murals placed there last Wednesday. Dorette Hoehne, Leta Franks, Rollie Mills, Hoyt Yowell and Hobart Hays made the murals in Miss Helen Wilson's art classes last semester after various sub· jects for the pictures had been suggested by students from the Spanish classes. F rames were made by C. E. Evans' woodwork class. The pictures, done in pastel and the bright colors of Spain, depict typical scenes from that country. Pupils are invited to come in to see the murals before or after school.

Similar awards were given f or oratory and debate also. First place was won by Dyllis Jo Heitkotter in extemporaneous speaking. Jack Wenstrand won second in oratory.

Several teachers, who wish additional training in this field, are attending the Red Cross classes down· town.

'Service For Victory'-The Watchword Of ·Every Camp Fire Girl This Year While Uncle Sam builds battleships and planes, Camp Fire Girls are building for Victory through service, health, know ledge and faith for a bet ter world to come. Through t h irty years, the Camp :B""ire girls have carried a character building program into the lives of three million girls. "Service for Victory" is t he watchword of every Camp Fire girl this year, the thirtieth anniversary of the organization. "This service for Victory program is unique in war work," said Miss Kathryn A ten, Lincoln Camp Fire executive, "because it not only provides an opportunity for the girls to serve their country by doing those things that teen-age girls can do well, but every activity included was selected for its educational and ch aracter t raining value." Lincoln girls are . organized on five fronts to help win the Victory. They have signed up as h ome

volunteers to carry on hom e tasks that will relieve their mothers for war duty. They are cooperating with the Red Cross, civilian defense and the emergency relief center. To help morale, t hey are training themselves to condu ct games. songs .and tell stories tha t may help entertain groups in an emergency. They have learned safety and civilian defense regulations. Lincoln Camp Fire girls assisted in the recent drive for salvage; they have formed knitting clubs; some groups are making wool m ittens for the emergency shop; ot hers are collecting t infoil and s t amps while still other groups are collecting and selling magazines and papers and using the money for defense s tamps. First aid classes are being held at the present time for all ages of groups, from the ten year olds to the Horizon club girls, th e newly organized senior h igh school club for older Camp F ire girls.

Home Rooms Given Definite Places For Drill Air raid drills will soon be held in Lincoln high, as they are in many of the s chools throughout the United States. In preliminary individual· h ome room rehearsals, a ll t he pupils during home room period last Friday, Monday and T uesday t ook assigned places for t heir groups. Every person in the school is allotted a two foot space along a cor ridor or in a room on first, second or third floors unexposed t o w indows. Along the walls of the hall are cards tci indicate what home room is assigned t hat certain marked space.

The home room spaces, marked on the walls by white tape, are ten to sixteen feet w ide, therefore it will be necessary t o make five rows of pupils but leaving enough room for passage in the halls. When the alarm is given all students, teachers, custodians, and cooks and adult defense workers, no m a tter what his place in th e school is to go directly and quietly t o his a ss igned position. He is to remain there until one regular bell r ings to announce the "all clear." If the drill is longer than ten min· utes the pupils may· sit cross legged on the floor. Talking is permitted after positions are t aken just so it is soft enough that one person is able to make announcements to be heard the length of t he corridors. Teachers without home rooms should report to the rear of the a uditorium. S t udents in the swiming pool must go to the dressing rooms. All books are to be left behind and no unnecessa ry delay is to be made. There will be no need for running for four minutes are allowed in returning to the room t h at was just left. The places which ha ve been assigned have been inSpected and approved by the Civilian Protect ion Council of Lincoln. The building commit tee on war emergency is composed of H. C.

Safety in Halls, on Stairs Students' Responsibility Safety is being stressed more now than it has ever been, because of the present crisis, and of course, safety must be everywhere, home, school, on the streets. Since pupils are in school most of the day, they must be careful in every way. Stairways are especially dangerous. Many students wear heel cleats and these, together with the metal stair tips, are especially hazardous. Just one misstep on these stairs when you are in a great hurry and down you come, school books and all, and the first thing you know you have fallen clear down to the landing, feeling all rumpled up. Safety in the halls is important, also. Running ·around corners and sliding in the halls must be avoided as one may very easily collide with someone when sliding around a corner or shooting out of a class room door. Sliding down the banisters is inexcusable. It is fun, but it isn't so much fun if you accidentally fall of£, or run into somebody. School is not the place for antics of this sort. These suggestions may sound rather preachy, but they are something· to keep in mind.

Jokes Told During Drills May Drown 'All Clear' The war has been brought close to Lincoln High school by the shortage of sugar, rubber and paper. It is brought much closer by the preparations for air raid drills. These drills, are not arranged so that Johnny can stop to ' talk to Jean on the stairs. They are not the time to tell Jack that joke from the Static column because his loud guffaws may drown out the "all clear" signal, thus necessitating more tedious minutes of standing in the halls .. It isn't t.he time to try to purchase a candy bar in the cafeteria, or to stop to arrange one's hair. Wait until later to duck down the hall to the locker, as that isn't permissabl~ either. Subdued talking is allowed, but remember that. means · soft, not loud. Lincoln high ·and the United States need support and cooperation in this crisis~ During air raid drills it is important to remember that any hindrance to this drill may result in loss of time or even. a serious accident. Be a good citizen by obeying all rules and keeping ~alm.

World Needs Police Force To Keep Order, Stop War Will civilization do away with wars1 What a variety of answers may be hear~ in answer to this question. Some people believe that the more intelligent and civilized the majority of the people are, the better they are able to get along with each other-this may be true. Centuries ago, in order to carry on a war, one needed only to clout one's enemy over the head with a stone. When night fell;- everyone went home to bed and at daybreak, with a yawn and a stretch, the business of war was taken up. There was a war going on continually somewhere. Nowadays, instead of civilization making the world "safe for democracy," it is possible to carry on a more terrible and destructive war than ever before in man's history. Man's mind has been developed to the stage where he may think deeply on many subjects. Because of this, great and wonderful inventions or discoveries have been made. But,, also civilization has developed the ''master mfod'' to create ingenious methods of killing and destroying. These "master minds," together with PFecision instruments, bombs, millions o:f dollars and men make up a modern war. Any city, no matter how civilized, must have a police force to keep order. It stands to reason that there must be a co-operative international police force between nations in order to keep order. Then let civilization thrive and progress as it will I

In Other· Schools DIU"ing air-raid 'ctrills at Queen Anne high school in Seattle, Washington, part of the school is instructed to go to the girls and boys gymnasiums while the rest of the school takes protection under the seats. Boys of Central high school in St. Joseph, Missouri, have promoted a five-hour course, in which they will study the work of a radio technician. On completion of this course, the boys are prepared to be of valuable help to the United States in her war effort. Defense stamps are now on sale during lunch hours at Peoria, Illinois, high school. Peoria h igh will compete with other schools for leadership in amount of sales made. Several students, acting as clerks, assist a faculty member in the sale. Raising money for the senior eY· cursions was the object of seniors operating for one night, a lunch room in Evanston, Illinois. The proprietor offered them the use of her establishment, at no cost to them. The menu, carefully planned by students as to cost and quantity, consisted of the following: Soup, turkey• and dressing, salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls and butter, stewed tomatoes, coffee or milk, and dessert. Among the patrons were many teachers and pupils with their families, all of .whom paid a dollar a plate. Girl's ski team is the newest type of sports at Spaulding high school in Barre, Vermont. About 15 girls came out for the first call and more are expected to attend practices which will be held several afternoons a week. Several ski meets will be planned with other girls' ski teams. Demands for the annual magazine at Queen Anne high school, Seattle, Washington, have probably jumped considerably. Reason? A kiss from one of the eight lovely co-eds is the reward for a subscription. The article was entit".ied-''For Men Only."

Between The Covers New Book by Adamson

"Lands of New World Neighbors," by Hans Christian Adamson, is a book of facts of American history and geography, but in his treatment of the subject, the author has made the facts read like thrilling fiction. The book is a review of men and events that have made America from its very beginning. A person with the wanderlust or a thirst for knowledge will find this his b.ook. Roy Chapman Andrews, who wrote the introduction, says in his last paragraph. "I can wholeheartedly promise the reader of "Lands of New World Neighbors" that when he has finished the last page of this book, he will be richer for having relived within its pages the stirring and heroic drama of the making of the lands of New World neig-hbors." This book will be used as a basis for a series of coast-to-coast, and international programs, broadcast weekly over C.B.S. Young Dramatists! Take Notice. The High School Thespian is a monthly magazine on high school dramatics. One of the articles of great interest is on plays being produced in high schools all over the country. "Broadway at a Glance," is a page devoted to thumbnail sketches of current Broadway plays. There is usually one article and. a script for radio each month. A series which should be helpful to aspiring stage designers is that of stages in Mexico and South American countries. Another magazine of interest to high school dramatists is devoted entirely to one act plays. The magazine, "One Act Plays," this month contains four one act plays and one radio script.

Universal Force Should Be Established After War, Says F. W. Messmore A plan for "policing the world'' should be set up after this war, F. W. Me~more, judge 0f the Nebraska supreme court, believes. "It is probably idealism to believe it could be done," Judge Mesmore stated. "There is no doubt in my m ind that there should be a universal force similar to the League of Nations. After this war we must not relax our defense again. It is simply the appiication of the old adage', 'An ounce Of prevention is worth a pound of cure.' "While continuing our defense the youth of the nation can help by taking stock of the ' privileges granted individuals under the cons t itution," he added. "By weighing this freedom and responsibility

Merrell Shutt Wins First Prize In Essay Contest Crash!! Bang! "There's been an accident!" "Someone's been hurt !" This is what might have happened, had the small t oy cars on the model of the intersect ion at Twenty-first and G streets been real. The driver of the green car was definitely at fault, first, he passed the yellow car, which had stopped at the stop sign, near an intersection . Second, on passing. the driver fail ed to signa l for the left hand turn, that he was attempting at the time of the approach of the green car, there could have been a head-on collision. Life is too precious to be snuffed out or for the victim to be crippled all his life through the recklessness of a few careless drivers. A person is never too young to learn more traffic laws. Perhaps through this model, depicting accidents which could happen, we pupils in Lincoln high will be more conscious of the dangers caused by carelessness of traffic violators. 0

Seven Minutes Time To Advance 110 Hours It took Edwin Geistlinger about seven minutes to change the 110 clocks in the school February 8, less time than it took the rep orter to count them one by one. He changed all the secondary clocks, those in the rooms, by the master clock in t he office. This . was done by pressing a button 60 times. Each time it was pressed, the hands moved ahead one minute. Another twist of the wrist moved the bell system ahead.

against those things offered by the Totalitarian governmerits we can understand the things we are u pholding." "Americans can /also aid by building ·up the morale of the nation," declared Judge Messmore. "Soldier morale will be high if civilian morale is also high. We must let the boys in camp know we are behind them." Judge Messmore, whose eldest son is in the air corp~ , is interested in keeping the soldiers happy while they are performing their duties. He thinks the United Service Organizations are a great h elp because "an evenly balanced person needs r ecreation as well as work to become strong, healthy and intelligent." "Too much time, however, should not be spent in recreation, as a well balanced . individual must also develop his intellect," asserts the judge. "Our schools must eventually develop into vocational training schools for the best success in our educational system. Students must begin their training early by choosing a vocation and taking courses right down the line that will aid in their chosen work," he alleged. "College work is necessary nowadays because their is no alternative for most occupations. This is especially true for those expecting to follow one of the professions such as medicine and law." "However many of the best lawyers and statesmen had no college or university training, " stated Judge Messmore. According to the judge, some of the qualifications •necessary to someone planning to enter law are: A pleasing personality, a comprehensive knowledge of human nature, a realization t hat law is not a show house or thea ter or the use of one's talent to aid a cheat in the best possible way, and of course, the ability to be impartial in judgment.

Reps Sponsor New Victory Book Drive To all, including the boys in camp, ''A good book is a good friend." Another Victory book campaign is being conducted Thursday and Friday of this week to enable everyone who didn't get an opportunity to contribute a book during the last campaign to do so at this one. Any type book may be given, but modern and educational books are particularly desirable. This campaign is being sponsored by the home room representatives. First campaign more than 600 books were donated. It would be possible to ·collect five times this number if each person in school would contribute· just one book.

Open Forum To the Editor:. As a devout , enthusiastic spectator of all Lincoln high home basketball games (and s ome out-oftown games ) , I would like to exprMs an ardent wish of mine. It seems to me that the student spectators of the games could be just a trifle more co-operative in cheering with t he P eppers and cheer leaders. For an example at the Northeast-Lincoln .high game, Northeast cheers were not only louder but sounded much more enthusiastic. There is no doubt in my mind for one moment whether Lincoln high students want to uphold their school or not, it's the plain idea that to other schools it might not seem that way. Whether we win or lose, friendly school spirit should be the main thought in our minds. Let's uphold all sportsmanship ideals and be fair and square to our alma mater. RAY BOEHMER.

To the Editor : With the horrors of final semester examinations over for another eighteen weeks, I would like to make a suggestion before they roll around again. In many schools, both large and small, a rule is set whereby pupils making grades of ninety or above in their s emester w orl' are €xcused from final examinations. I think that if this were the case in Lincoln high, there would be greater incentive all thr ough the semester, fo keep one's grades high, helping the pupils to become better in their studies. This would help to eliminate "cramming" the night before a test, which is not, after all, really learning a fact a s it should be learned, if it is to become a part of one's personal knowledge. JANICE PAULEY. To the Editor: I recently read in t he Advocate that Fremont high school has a plan to increase its library every week by donating pennies to a fund for new library books. The plan is simple and works very well. The students bring from four to six dollars every Wednesday, which they call "Penny day.'' The books are selected by the Student Readers' Boa rd, which is sponsored by the st udent council and the librarian. Why can't Lincoln high do this also ? It would increase our library and get books which the students themselves would choose from the publishers' lists a11-d the m any book reviews. LEON GAGE,

Lincoln High Student Writes Monthly Page in Horseman's Review Magazine Patricia "Pat" King, junior, is the junior editor of the "Horseman's Review" magazine. Her colul)ln is made up of her· reader's letters and her interpretations. Every day brings letters from her readers, not only youngsters, but people who are older and interested in her column-letters from many states including California, Colorado and the Eastern states. "Pat"· says, "Writing my column is very interesting. It affords a great opportunity to get acquainted with many people throughout the United States. I believe it 'Nill eventually lead to some sort of journalistic work. It really gives me a world of plea.sure to hear from people, and to hear their experiences." She modestly admitted that she always reads the comic page in the magazine before her own column. Although in California last summer, she continued her column, writing up her interpretations of the horses there, and their growing popularity in California. When asked of the values of her favorite sport, she replied,

"The midwest has excellent places to ride, an d there are many able teachers from whom .the novice may learn the fundamentals of the sport. Horseback riding is a good thing to help overcome certain traits in children, such a s timidity a nd fea r. It also gives them an opportunity for social life, as various clubs or groups may be organized. Thus horseback riding helps to promote good sportsmanship and fair-play which are two of the best qualifications for the successful horseman or horsewoman of tomorrow. The "Horseman's Review" which has been published monthly since July, 1940, is edited by Ralph Boomer of Lincoln.

Style .Expert Forecasts '42 Fashions Cabinet Holds Joint Meeting "One of the most important items for your spring wardrobe is a two piece suit," said D. E. Harlan, buyer, who spoke to the Girl Reserves, Monday, Feb. 16, on spring fashions for high school girls. "Pastel shades and plaids with pleated skirts will be proper. Shoes are definitely low heeled and many will be in bright colors with nail-head trim." When asked if skirts would be longer this season he replied that it will probably be two or three seasons before skirts became very much longer. A joint meeting of the Girl Reserve cabinets of the different high schools in Lincoln was held Monday, February 16, at the Y.W.C;A. The main purpose was to acquaint the members of the cabinets and to exchange ideas. Presidents from the various schools were introduced. They are: Norma Clark, from College View; Roberta Collins, Lincoln high; Joyce Harper, Teachers College and Marjorie Reddick, Northeast. Bowling classes sponsored by the Girl Reserves are being held every Thursday at the Y.M.C.A. with Miss Dorothy Lawhead as instructor. Thos ewho signed up for the classes are: Mary Barstler, Barbara Burke, Alice King, Carol Lane, Nona Lane, Charle Sharrick, Marion Splichal and Pat Thomas. On Friday, February 13, the Girl Reserves held a Valentine party at the Y.W.C.A.

Saturday night he had a date with Connie Catheart. Not bad!!!!!! Well, Joan Moyer is all smiles since Mickey McDermott came back to dear old L. H. S. That w ill probably turn into a "steady deal." Could be! Eh, what. Sally White has finally decided from her many boy friends that it is only one. Lucky Buckley is the kidit was a hard struggle but Newnie won out. Good for him. Are Mary Jo Gish and Frank Anderson all broken up? I have seen Leo Beck (an old Flame) walking with her lately and what about Joyce Crosbie and Leo? Quite a mix-up. Eh, what? Jean Moyer has interests up North-could we go as far to say that it is in Faribault, Minnesota, and he goes to a boys school there and his name is B. G. Fullerton, and I hear they are very, very, very interested in each other. Good Enough!

Mun1mcrs Hear Picture Review

Mummers program was divided into t wo parts in their meetings Thursday, February 12. For the first section, Robert Lesher gave a review of the picture, "How Green Was My Valley," w hich is acclaimed by the critics as one of the year's best pictures. The last half of the program was devoted to a make-up demonstration by Stuart Goldberg and Dorothy James. Using two "guinea pigs" (Donald Andrews and Patricia Curry) they showed the process of making up for an ingenue lead. They then told how to age characters and make them look foreign. In conclusion the artists let the club in on the mysterious inwards of a s tage make-up kit. Since Dale Wisser has resigned his post, as secretary, the office is now being filled by Barbara Emerson.

Travelers Hear Of Colorado Trip "My Trip Through Colorado" was the topic on which Elizabeth Estes spoke to the members of the travel club, Monday, February 9. "The most beautiful way to enter the park is from the east," she began. "Most visitors from Lincoln stay at Meeker park. We saw Pike's P eak, Garden of the Gods, Mt. Holy Cross, Mt. Elbert, which is the highest peak in Colorado, and many other sights." Elizabeth showed the members some road maps, post cards, and photographs concerning her trip.

New Office Staff Runs School Competently Humming busily, the new office force is doing its many odd jobs, which help to keep the school running smoothly. The list of assistant s in the office, released by Mrs. Jeannette Kyker, is a.s follows: First period: La Verne Graves, Leta Franks, Jean Inhelder, and Betty Kingdon. Second period: Florence Wilkinson, H elen Detrich, RobeI'ta Collins and Ruth Clark. Third period: Betty Kister, Dorothy Boettcher and Betty Fowler. Fourth period: Dorothy Manifold, Jean Frances Thrailkill, Wauneta Ziegler and Ruth Worster. Fifth period : Helen Knott, Marjorie Neff and Mavis Schiebinger. Miss Dorothy Beever has one assistant, Bill Parmenter. Most of the assistants work out of the main office under the direction of Mrs. Kyker and Miss Dorcas Weatherby.

Bright Colors Spring Fad-Mayde Lucas Rubber, metal and now felt for hats have been added to the list of shortages, according to Miss Mayde Lucas, hat designer and seller, who spoke at an open meeting of the business girls club, Monday, February S. "Fur from which felt is made comes from the central part of Europe, and by fall," Miss Lucas predicted, "the present supply will be exhausted." All hats start out the same, as a plain crown and floppy brim. A designer blocks, cuts, twists and decorates with ribbons, flowers, feathers, veiling and creates that m odern miracle, the woman's hat. Out of a seemingly magic hatbox came endless samples, a hat m a de of snake skin, a hat covered with daisies, a little derby, which she tried on a willing model. Miss Lucas has just returned from a spring buying trip to New York. Girls! A curfew on veils! "Keep veils down until six o'clock. Afterward throw them back, " she said, informing the girls of Emily Post's opinion on the subject. "Bright colors a re the style for spring," she concluded, "in contrast with the navy blues of last y ear." The South American influence in hats is strong, besides brilliant flashes of color are said to h elp morale. Poncho red, K elly green , violet and polished cherry are prevalent sh9:des this year.

Art Club Hears Mrs. l(irschman Pottery, painting, lea therwork and needlework were the crafts shown by Mrs. J. E. Kirshman at the art club meeting Thursday, February 12. She stressed that the art class is the one place wher e the pupil can best co-ordinate thinking, observations and the use of the hands. "There is real joy in creating," she said. This she illustrated by showing her own work in batik, pottery, leatherwork and painting. She stated that art is not confined to painting or to cr aft work. "The 4-H club members, who develop heart, health, head and hand, bein their different come artists lines of work with the real joy of creative experiences." She remarked that no matter w here one learns to draw, he should be taught to draw a sphere, a cube, and cone, and a square, and t o shade them correctly. Her greatest love is peasant art, which she studied at first-hand in Europe. In conclusion she congratulated the students on the splendid work they were doing as shown by the still life drawings and the posters exhibited in Miss Helen Wilson's room. She emphasized that pupils of Lincoln high have a splendid opportunit y for art study.

Home Economists Hear Miss Camilla Corona, Salon Receptionist

Following up last week's lOB assembly on study habits, H. C. Mardis, principal, explained the system of scholarship, marking and weighted credit, Tuesday, February 17. Slides were used to enable the sophomores to understand these systems more clearly. Scholastic honors, tests, examinations, and reports were also discussed. According to a survey taken in several different classes to see what the girls of Lincoln high school would prefer to do if the war situation made it necessary for them to work for the defense of their country, 23 out of 25 girls chose the nursing field. Seven ambitious young ladies would be volunteer ambulance workers, five stated that they would be willing to do whatever was as_ked of them; four would go into direct defense work in factories, while Red Cross workers, defense secreta ries, and farmeretes had three votes each. Other jobs mentioned were flying, teaching, and the ent ertainment field. Several Girl Scouts are already helping.

"We're not all beautiful, but we can try to cover our bad points by emphasizing our good ones," asserted Miss Camilla Corona, recep· t ionist in the beauty salon of a local department store, and guest speaker at the home economics club meeting February 9. She chose one of the members, Bette Anderson, for her model and then she proceeded to demonstrate the art of applying makeup. "Be yourself. You'll be much more charming. The most important thing to remember in the care of the skin is to keep it clean. Washing with soap and water at least once a day before applying cle:;i.nsing cream, should be a regular habit," Miss Corona said. She does not believe school girls should wear heavy cosmetics.

Since there has been a r eduction in the use of wool and a simplifying of styles by the war production board, the sewing classes may be handicapped as to the making of woolen clothing. However, Miss Dolores Young, the sewing instructor, said that rayon-wool and other substitutes, which have been proved to be just a s warm, may be used. She added that new fibers and materials are being invented every day and will be on the market for use. Does war bring prosperity? Students in Ralph Han.sen's fourth period modern history class were so divided on the question, that a panel discussion was h eld Friday, F ebruary 6. Those taking part were Don Andrews, Jack Bates and Grace Hiens on the negative, J ack Donovan, Dorothy Johns and Victor Mccrum on the affirmative. After the discussion a vote was taken and 'the d ecision went to the negative.

Going on to her next topic, nails, she said there is nothing so good as a.n old fashioned buffer to work up n a il stimulation. "'Don't buff until they burn; however," she cautioned. When filing, an emory board rather than a steel file should be used. N a il polish is a wonderful proteciton for the nails, but she admitted a dislike for too-bright a polish for school use. To remove the polish, a remover with an oil base is best. "Split nails are usually due to a lack of calcium. The best source of this is milk, and it is not fatt ening!" she declared. Just as it is important t o have clean skin, it is also true with hair. Miss Corona emphatically stated that hair should have a thorough shampoo a t least once a week, and in some cases oftener. When asked if vinegar is a harmful rinse, she answered in the negative, sta.Jting that it cuts the soap a nd does not bleach the hair, which is not always true in the case of a lemon rinse. "In brushing, w hich is very essential if you want lovely hair, use outward strokes rather than downward strokes," she warned. At the conclusion of the program, the g irls asked questions of the speaker, concerning hair, makeup and nails.

"What is the appearance of blood? " is the subject which Carl W. Manth ey's physiology 2 classes are now studying. By using the microscope in exammmg fresh blood they are finding the answer to their question.

Correction. The name Jean Vance, in the list of new members of Mimes in last week's Advocate, should have been Jean Bentzinger.

Lincoln Clinches Tie In Mo. Valley Championship Linl~s

Annihilate Beatrice Regional Best In; Nebraska1 Gate City Rival AS LINl(S CAPTURED VALLEY CROWN Leading Teams In Crucial Test Lincoln, Falls O'Donnell, Dean Junior Li11l{s Bloom Spark City, Fairbury Late Comeback By outscoring Omaha Tech 14-6 in the last half, the Lincoln high basketball squad gained at least a tie for the Missouri Valley basketball conference honors with Abraham Lincoln of Council Bluffs, last Saturday, February 14, at Whittier gymnasium. The final score of 26-23 is all that it indicates. Tech rambled to a 7-3 first quarter lead with Miller leading the way. At one time in the second quarter the Tech cagesters had a 13-3 lead, but good shooting by Al Bloom and Roger A'Donnell narrowed this to 17-12 at the half. Then the · Links got hot. Dr.opping in buckets from all angles, Johnny Dean, who incidentally didn't make a point the first half, and Roger O'Donnell finally shot Lincoln into the lead. The last quarter was featured by some of the finest guarding exhibited b:y the cagers all year. Forcing Tech to take· long hurried shots and with Al Bloom controlling the bankboards, the Lincoln boys simply couldn't be denied for their seventh win and one los in the Missouri Valley conference. Mickey McDermott is . now on the L. H. S. basketball squad. "Mic" greatly pleased Coach Weyand with his ball handling. John Dean, Allen Bloom, Roger O'Donnell led the scoring parade, while Ed Hall played his usual good backcourt game. Lililcoln

The Red and Black hoopsters and their intra-city rivals, the Northeast Rockets, journey during the initial week of March to Beatrice to compete in one of the four class A regional basketball tournaments Lincoln's cagers have previously met and defeated one of the tourney teams, the Beatrice Orangemen, tutored by Cliff Ashburn, and have yet to tangle with another tourney team, Coach "Jug" Brown's Falls City Tigers.

With Morrie Gaulter and Merwyn "Mooie" Merryfield grabbing the scoring honors and Dick Lodge starring on the defense, the Red and Black seconds tripped "Bugs" Bowmaster's Waverly squad Saturday, February 14, at Whittier. The junior Links started off with a bang, grabbing a first quarter lead, but slowed down and were held to a 9-3 halftime lead. Reserves Pour It On. After dilly-dallying around the first and initial part of the second half, the Reserves found themselves blasting the shattered invaders. With Gaulter and Merryfield red hot leading the attacks, the Link seconds went out in front 25-15 at the end of the third period. Reserves Nip Rally. It was now the Maroon and Gray's turn, with Kenny Kyles, diminutive forward, breaking in to give Coach Beechner and his comrades several worried moments. Then the scene changed an.d again it was Merryfield and Gaulter relieving the pressure. Eager Out cf Battle. Earl "Gus" Eager, one of the best reserves in many a year, was out of the contest due to a trick knee which bothered him during football season. Lodge, Gaulter, Merryfield were tops for the Lincoln five, with Gaulter and Merryfield potting 10 points apiece. Kenny Kyles and Don Westland were best for the Waverly squad with 11 and 7 points respectively. Referee George Farley, Wesleyan coach, called 28 fouls and three Capital city lads and one Maroon and Gray player using full quota.

The other three class A tournaments of the state are situated at Columbus, North Platte and Omaha with the grand total of 25 schools participating in the four meets. Each meet will send its two top teams to the state class A finals in the University · of Nebraska coliseum at Lincoln during the middle of March. If Lincoln high's talented basketball five by some way should fail to qualify for the · state finals; it would be the first time since the years 1931 and '32, that Lincoln high was not represented. However, the capital city still has chances to be represented in the finals through Northeast in class A, Teachers college in class B, and Cathedral and College View in C. '!'he Beatrice meet, under the guidance of L. C. Henderson, will also find Beatrice, Fairbury, Falls City and Nebraska City dueling for that honor.

THE FIELD OF GREATEST REWARD

When Downtown

FOR

The Beatrice and Nebraska City quintets appear to be the weakest of the six schools of this particu· lar meet, with Fairbury and Falls City apt to cause the two. capital city teams the most trouble. Fair· bury is well remembered and not forgiven for the startling upset it handed Lincoln in .the first round of the state finals on the coliseum maples last March. Many of the boys having a hand in that feat are back again and have aided Fairbury in setting the torrid winning pace ended a couple of weeks ago by York. Frank "Red" Mueller's Nebraska City boys have had the well-known "hardluck" season, leaving only one letterman returning and the rest all green sophomores and juniors.

classes) are beginning to feel dis· couraged as they don't get a chance to show their ability at dancing. The other classes are learning the technique of playing basketball. The social dancing class, under the direction of Miss Miller, is now meeting after school on Mondays and Wednesdays in the girls gymnasium. The group is rather large, but more boys are asked to attend. Accompanist for the group is JoAnn Grasmick.

Coach "Jug" Brown's Falls ·City squad was upset last Friday, the 13th, by a line Auburn crew 18.17. Leading the Orange and Black are red-headed Ernie Prosser and Jack Bennett. Falls City had racked up a record of 34 straight loop wins and hadn't been beaten in circuit competition since the 1936-37 season. Second with a record of 12 wins and 2 losses is Coach Lyle Weyand's Lincoln high team. The Red and Black has knocked off seven Missouri Valley teams against one loss to be sure of at least a tie for first place. In spite of the record the Links are as unpredictable as next year's soy bean crop. Leading the Red and Black cagers are Johnny Dean, star forward; Roger O'Donnell, second highest offensive man, another forward; next best defensive player, Don McArthur, leading scorer and star center of the Missouri Valley conference.; Al "Workhorse" ·Bloom, guard and best all around man on the team, and Ed Hall, guard and fourth man in scoring. The yellow and crimson cagers of Fairbury are leaders in the Mideast. conference and were expected to lead the way in the state this season. Bob Korte and Frank Shipman, two frontliners in the last · year's Fairbury squad, are leading the team. Korte's best work came in the Hastings . test when he collected 21 points; Shipman is the defensive ace of the Jeffs. Lincoln Northeast has been beaten in three battles. The Rockets' biggest triumph came when they upset Lincoln's cage squad. Bill. Laub, center and high

point man, leads the team. Next comes Rex Mercer, all state footballer and guard, Eddie Wilson, neat one-handed artist and forward, and Max Long, diminutive forward.

Wh(lt's Doin' Debate Team This Week Wi11s Honors At Hastings

Sweeps school Tournament The team of William Rotton and Jack Wenstrand of Lincoln was the only undefeated team in the Hastings invitational speech tournament held February 20. The team remained undefeated through eight rounds of debate. Lincoln had 17 per cent of the 36 teams in the tournament and 50 per cent of the superior . teams announced. Lincoln also had 33 per cent of the superi.o r speakers announced. These were William Farrey, Harold Luedtke, Roland Luedtke, Harris Barbt;lr, Dale Wis· ser and .J ack Wenstrand.

The team of Gellatly and Evnen, Gillan and Mason were rated excellent and won four out of eight debates. "The outstanding Lincoln team on a quality rating basis," said Gerald A. Kvasnicka, "was Forrey and H. Luedtke with a total of 680 points out of a possible 784." .Roland Luedtke won first place in newscasting with a rating of superior. Jack Wenstrand won first place in original oratory with a rating of superior to complete a record of three firsts and two seconds in original oratory.

English Classes Write for Contest Hal Schwamb won this week's safety essay contest with the essay which will be found on page two. Vernoy Johnson won second place for the second consecutive week, and Jean Marie Zehrung won third place. These c0ntests are held weekly . so that Lincoln high students may study traffic hazards at a better advantage. Pupils of all English classes have been asked to study the new situation on the model in the main hall show case each week, and write a story, essay, poem, editorial or short play that tells the hazard shown and why it is dangerous to safety. Three of the best worl!:s from each teacher are sent on Thursday to Miss Helen Dunlap, student council sponsor, where they are judged by a safety com· mittee.

m•d CQJt.ll 99' Also included in the survey was an opportunity for a pupil to state his ideas on how to improve cafeteria menus and methods. Hot chocolate was the most frequent addition suggested. To make the survey results clear and concise to the public eye, graphs, under the direction of Miss Inez Cook, were made by Stanley Sohl, bringing out the more im· portant and significant · points.

Flag History Demonstrated Eagle Scouts, Choir Participate in Program Narrated hy Conkling Development of the American flag from its initial design to its present form and famous American patriotic songs were presented in A and B assemblies, Thursday and Friday, February 19 and 20. Narrator John Conkling, 10 Eagle scouts, the Lincoln high choir and the boys octet under the direction of Hugh Rangeler, took part in the program prepared by the citizenship committee. Conkling began by stating, "The story of the stars and stripes is the story of the nation itself. The evolution of the flag is symbolic of our free institutions. Its development is a summary of the a.mazing expansion of our bound· eries and the development of our national resources. Its glorious history is the history of the people

whose sov~rcignty it signifies.'' Patriotic songs were sung by the high school choir and boys octet, with the audience joining in the "Star Spangled Banner." As John discussed the origin of each flag, an Eagle Boy Scout would march onto the stage bearing this particular flag and post it.

A total of 91.4 per cent of the pupils canvassed eat breakfast before coming to school, according to a survey by the health committee on the food habits of the average Lincoln high pupil. Most of the pupils answering ''no" to the question, as to whether or not they ate breakfast in the morning, declared their reason to be "not hungry." Contrary to com· mon belief, very few gave the excuse of rising too late.

Joy Night Ticket Sale Starts Soon March 9 to Be First Day Joy Night tickets will go on sale Monday, March 9, at 28 cents including the federal tax. Mail orders may be sent in now to the Lincoln high auditing committee with date and location of seat s p e c i f i ed. A self-addressed, stamped envelope must be enclosed. Thomas Green, business manager is in charge. All money from the show this year goes into the student fund which helps pay for the sound system and other school projects. Since the sound system is not entirely paid for, most of the money will go to complete the payments. Graduates from the past three years wm be called by the student council. Plans are being made for window display signs and signs for bumbers of cars to advertise Joy Night under the direction of Shirley Ann Hinds, advertising manager. These will be placed all over Lincoln. Paper napkins with Joy Night advertising printed by the Lincoln high print shop will be distributed soon in the cafeteria. The art department is busy making posters illustrating the theme which is the recreation center of an army camp. Plans are being made by the Joy Night committee for selling gadgets for advertising. In 1941, felt miniatures of South America were used, and in '40, colorful bandanas were sold. The advertising assembly will be given Monday, March 9. This will be a double assembly includ· ing samples of a few of the acts w_hich will be seen in Joy Night. As in past years, the show is under the sponsorship of the student council, and it promises this year to break all records for Lincoln high entertainment.

Dead-line of the Links cover design contest has been postponed from February 20 to February 26. This is to enable students who have been working on a national art contest to enter suitable designs. The winner will receive a free copy of the Links. All entries must be handed into the Links office by tomorrow noon. January senior pictures are due today. Many of these seniors have returned to Lincoln high to make arrangements for their pictures. At the request of the Links board, many of the June seniors had their pictures taken last week-end. These pictures are to be in the hands of the photographers by March 13. According to Miss Sarah T. Muir, any pupil may submit candid camera pictures, but a time limit for student pictures has not been set. Formal club pictures will be completed February 27, which is a much earlier date than in past years. This is to make way for junior play rehearsals in the room. Two new members were selected by the board to fill the positions of librarians on the staff. They are John Frerichs and Rodney William, sophomores. The complete list of staff to date is: Sally White and James Griffith, Classes. Barbara Hoevet, Clubs. Stuart Goldberg, Administration. John Conkling, Music a nd Drama. Barbara Griswold, Assemblies, Debate and Publications. Perry Branch, Boys Sports. Ardyce Kargo, Girls Sports. Rodney Williams and John Frerichs, Librarians.

Iloys Stale Begins Earlier This Y.ear Cornhusker Boys State, unless there are unpreventable conditions, will be held May 23 through 27 on the Nebraska University College of Agriculture campus. The date is earlier this year due to the closing of the university the week before. To obtain counselors and other help, it must be held earlier. The presidential post vacated by Major "Biff" Jones has been filled by past educational director, Judge E. F. Carter, while Dean F. E. Henzlik took over the education director's job and Van L . Taylor of Lincoln, the position of vicepresident, after a meeting of officers and directors of the American Legion last Wednesday. Legion posts throughout the state of Nebraska are urged to send delegates to Boys State. To be eligible the boys must be juniors in high school, in the upper half of their class scholastically, must stand well in school citizenship, must have leadership qualities, and be in good health.

Crack salesmen from · Frank Kane's salesmanship classes and Links board and staff members began selling the 1942 yearbook Monday, February 23.

The book sells for $2.00 but $1.00 down may be paid before March 16 and the final payment may be paid before April 17. The following salesmen are from Mr. Kane's period one and period two classes respectively. -Elizabeth Grone Photo.

Fred Birkman, senior, shown above with Catherine Sellers, Links business manager, was the first to buy a Links in the sale which began last Monday.

Plane Prints Distributed Blue prints and specifications of model airplanes, to be built by boys willing to aid their country's armed forces in this crucial crisis, will be distributed to Lincoln high and other co-operative high schools in the state this week. The minimum of planes which may be received by one high school, junior or senior, is one set consisting of 50 planes representing every known type of fighting aircraft of the United Nations and the Axis. The materials of which the model planes are produced must be furnished by the schools and the construction by any high school student during any of his spare time. Students eligible for tl1is defense prngram can . belong to · any school group, industrial art classes, or have some manual training. Immediately following comple· tion of planes, they will be sent to the nearest navy recruiting station at expense of the United States government. If the plane is accepted, the constructor will receive a certificate of award from the U. S. navy. Lincoln high school is planning to make several sets of 50 each, under the direction of C. E. Evans. Evans.

Sound System Assistants Chosen Students who are assisting H. C. Mardis with the sound system this semester are: Mary Jo Gish, who is in charge during home room periods and first period; Dorothy James, second period and 9:40 assemblies; Richard Harpham, third period; Constance Mc· Bride, fourth period; Betty Nash, fifth period; James Johnston, after school. These students are trained so they can switch a program or radio broadcast to any class wishing it. However, before a program can be put over the sound system to a room, a note must be sent to Mr. Mardis requesting the broadcast, with the signature of the class room teacher.

Complacency Threatens Defeat Of U.S., Says William Lawrence _ Ten years ago, William H . Lawrence was a student in Miss Emma Beekman's history class and managing editor of the Advocate. To· day, his articles on current his· tory are required reading in her class, as he is the Washington correspondent for the New York Times, covering the White House. "I was flattered . indeed that my articles are now required reading in your classes," he writes, referring to a note she had sent her former pupil. "The complacency," he continues, "which seems to mark the American people, and their gov· ernment, with notable exceptions like Donald M. Nelson, Leon Henderson, Bill Batt and the President, of course, reminds me of the perpetual faith of a Cornhusker, who, when his team trailed by 20 points at the end of the first half, rationalized that, after all ,it only took three touchdowns to win. This, despite the fact that Nebraska hadn't been able to cross the mid-field stripe \in the first half. So far I have not be,e n able to observe that we even had possession of the ball in ·this war. "What they don't seem to realize here (thoug!J.. I hope against hope that they do in Nebraska) is that we can really lose this war unless we are prepared to go all

out; and give up automobiles, radios, washing machines, refrigerators, 'English week-ends,' and a host of other things that make up the American way." Explaining his present work he writes, "I am now covering the White House for the New York Times, an assignment which I enjoy very much although it does not make quite as much spot news as for1perly, since the President's movements now are classified as military secrets, and we can, in general, print only such material as is given us in prepared state· ments or in semi-weekly press conferences with the President. I do not complain against this fact because I consider it wise to keep from the enemy information which might give him aid and comfort." "The Times is a remarkable paper for, while I am, of course, not permitted to editorialize, I am given the utmost latitude in interpretation and few indeed have been the sentences or paragraphs which have been deleted from my copy. Never are they altered. "I haven't meant to pontificate in this letter, although it may read like that; but I have taken this avenue to get some steam off my chest because I think that you too are probably as worried as I about our attitude."

Service Men Given Advocate Complimentary subscriptions of the Advocate will be sent to former Links now in service in this semester on request. Names of persons requesting papers should be sent to the exchange editor, Marietta Sukovaty. Although Lincoln high keeps no record of boys leaving for the service, it is known that a.- number have done so, and a weekly issue of the Advocate will keep them in touch with activities and news in which they will naturally be interested.

Junior Class Colors To Be Chosen Today Juniors will vote on their class colors during home room period today. The colors suggested are green and copper, red and white, American Beauty red and silver, and blue and rose. The chosen colors are used as the decoration motif for class affairs, such as commencement, class day and the senior pari.li..

IEINSTEIN .ANGLEDOME By Hobert Hays

1942 Links Will Prove An Invaluable Record "Do you have a 1941 Links1" "Yes, the price is $5.QO.'' And several bought a Links for $3.00 more than they might have paid if they had subscribed in time. They ''just didh 't get around to buying one" and consequently, because the supply was practically exhausted, had to pay more than double what the book had cost formerly. But just why did they want a yearbook anyway? Of course it's always fun to look back and see all the odd clothes and hair styles and try to recall just who that boy is that sat next to you in the home room picture. Just what else could you use a Links fod Yearbooks of by-gone years have been asked for many times by former students and ·by many people who have never been con~ected with the school. They have provided an ~nvaluable ~·ecord for many things. Boys now m the service of Uncle Sam have found them useful. This year a 1932 and a 1939 Links were bought for former pupils who are in service. Newspapers also have often used them to trace the rec?rd of _former Lincoln· high students for various thmgs. · The year 1942 is an important one and will a~most certainly go down on the pages of history. What better story of this year at Lincoln hig~ t~an a 1.942 Links1 It will represent school hfe m all its aspects. Every phase of ~chool work and play will be presented includmg the patriotic work being done by various classes and organizations. The theme for this year's book is as yet a secret, but you may be sure that it is an excellent one.

Sane Persons, Beware! 8:19 Rlish Not. for Y ozi Warning! ! All pupils in sound mind and body, who wish to remain that way, take heed! If you are one of those fortunate persons who manage to g·et to school before 8 :15 arid sit quietly in home room prepared for whatever the d!IY may. hold, you need pay no attention to this warnmg, unless you feel particularly brave some morning and would like to venture out into the hall at about nineteen minutes after eight. Some of you ~ay ask innocently, "Why should I go out mto the hall at that time? Everyone should be in his home room by t~en." Very true, but just take a peek some time a?d see some of the strange things that ~re g-0mg on. If you actually go into the hall, 1t would be safest for you to cling cautiously to the wall. Otherwise, you are likely to be s'Yept ~ff your feet by an onrushing latecomer. Time, tide, q.nd these menaces wait for no man or woman, unless they happen to crash into someone while ·· dashing around a corner thereby scattering books belongin"' to both 0 them in every direction. Some are hindered by c:iimbersome coats which they have not had time to throw hurriedly into their lockers. It's a mad race with time, but how valuable a few extra seconds may be as the winner the race, rather giddy, out of breath and with knees feeling like water as a result of his overe;x:ertion, staggers into his home room and

emks exhausted into the nearest vacant seat. . If Mr. Beechner should observe the "last-

mmute rush,'' he would undoubtedly make many discoveries of future track stars. A few of these latecomers may break a record if they don't break thefr necks first. '

High School Student Labor Needed for War Efforts High school students will no doubt supply a good deal of the labor needed to keep Nebraska 's war production going forward this summer and already a definite step has been taken in· this direction. In Cherry county, all school children from the eighth to the twelfth grades in town schools, .as well as adults, are being· registered. They will be classified for summer work to ~elp ~lleviate the labor shortage. 'l'his program Is berng sponsored by the schools and the ~ounty exteysion service. The registration card ~n.clu~es such information as availability, qual1ficat10n or desire for summer work. Volunteer teachers are offering training in vocational gro.u~s ai;id classes will be organized for giving tram~ng m mechanical work, farm labor, store clerkmg, house work and gardening. .Although this plan has not taken concrete form yet, it, if applied on a statewide basis would aid materially to meet the labor short~ age problem which is facing the Nebraska farmer at the present time.

Speeches of the Day. Have you ever wished to read the text of some current speech, but not had the energy to tackle the agate print, In which it was print(!d in the newspapers? In the library of Lincoln high is a bimonthly magazine--"Vital Speeches of the Day:" In the February 1 issue is the speech by Sumner Welles, Undersecretary of State of the United States, at the meeting of Foreign Ministers of the American Republics at Rio de Janerio, January 15, 1942. "Lesson Taught to the Nations," tells of the imperative need for unity between allied nations. Other speeches this week include "America at War" by the United States Senator from Ohio, Robert A. Taft, which gives remedies to prevent all-out price increase; "The Price of Victory at Best .W ill be High," by Wendell L. Willkie in which he says, "We need tanks, not talk." Others represented are John W. McCormack, majority leader of the House of Representatives; Joseph W. Martin, Jr., Republican leader of the House of Representatives; H. A. Burgers, recent president of the Insular Sugar Refining Corporation of Manila, and others. "Your Future" Have you ever wondered what your future would be? Of course, no one can tell you exactly, but the little weekly magazine, "Your Future," would help you. plan it, if you would read the magazine. Each issue has an article, "Your Future" and then tells of the requiremenUi, probable openings and opportunities in some field. A few of the articles are, "Your Future at the Switchbord," "Women in War Jobs in Pharmacy, and in Library work," and many others covering all occupations. This magazine also contains articleson etiquette, safety, ways and means of going to college, study helps, tips on lesson reading, and others too numerous to mention. Both of the above mentioned magazines may be found in the library at any time.

Do Your Share Half-way o'er to Singapore, Beneath the water deep Lies the body of many a good sailor, Whose spirit does not sleep . For without these waves there comes a cry To all good Americans free To avenge the death of those who lie With their ships beneath the sea. In many a land, there does arise A plea which we must heed To crush the axis whom we desspise And to fight 'till we succeed. For those who have died have done their share, And nothing more can do, But we who live in this land so fair Must 'm ake sure that we are true. JACK WELLS.

Hal Schwamb Captures First Place In Safety Essay Contest This Week A fire engine came screaming down Twenty-second street with its flashing red body headed south probably on its way to some one's burning home. It was nearing the intersection of Tw.enty-second and G streets when it came in line from the back with two cars also headed south, one behind the other. With its shrieking siren wailing a warning, the driver of the fire truck expected the cars to pull to one side of thP. IJ-arrow street and give room for the truck to pass safely. Instei;.d the insane driver of the second car sped up and clipped around the first car at 30 miles per hour endangering not only himself, but also the crew of the fire truck in a fool-hardy dash that could have easily brought death or at least injury to . all concerned. The fire truck which was traveling at 35 m. p. h., could probably swerve and miss both cars, but why this needless risk of life and property? Why? Because the law of Lincoln, nay the law of living was broken by the drivers of both cars. At the instant these two drivers

heard the siren of the fire-wagon both should have driven their cars to the curb and let the truck pass freely. Were they in such a hurry that they were willing to risk everything? They could not have been. The hey-day dash of the second driver also broke all known speed laws which at the most, are 25 m. p. h. in a residential district, and this driver was rolling along at 30 m. p. h. or better. You can stop worrying about the outcome of this little episode because it's all based on the model in the showcase by the office and isn't real. But are we so sure · it isn't real! More than one truck of the Lincoln fire department has collided with private cars probably in about this same manner and probably for these same reasons: Fool-hardiness and disrespect for the law. All stories such as this have a moral, but we'll let you figure this out for yourself and the next time you are going like the wind ask yourself as the Lincoln Safety council puts it, "Really now, what's your hurry?"

Life WithASchoolChum Music Pastime of Lincoln High Trio; Combine Classical and Popular Songs Music is the important pastime of Joyce Edwards, junior; Lovelle ''Bud" Unger, sophomore, and Robert "Bob" Fensler, junior, a trio, known as "The Three Guesses." Each of them have been musically inclined since they can remember. Since all of them have been in various choruses, glee clubs and advanced groups and all enjoy music, they decided to combine their talents as "The Three Guesses." "I am interested in this sort of thing," declared Joyce, "because I plan to continue music in my college career, not popular, but classical, I think. Popular music is fun. but of course we all continue our classical voice training and are all in classes of this sort, here in school." They practice in each other's homes about once or twice a week. Their first performance was Christmas at the Lincoln hotel, and they have sung for various clubs and private parties since. "In working out the songs," explained Joyce, "our accompanist plays the song over once, humming to the music, then we decide

which is to take the melody according to what type and whose voice fits best. Then whoever carries the melody hums, while the other two pick out their parts. We haven't used any special arrangements but we listen to the r a dio and get ideas from different girl and boy combinations, such as the 'Merry Macs.' "The boys make fun of how I get an arrangement. We'll be right in the middle of a song when an idea strikes me and rather than forget it I ask for a . pencil to mark it on the music. Of course what I write is my own mterpretation and anything can turn out from a jagged line to a pan-caked circle. Bud and Bob both have wonderful voices. Bud is a wizard at finding chords and Bob has a knack for rhythm and breaks."

New Fads Popping Up, Here Are Some, Girls Attention, girls! If you've been racking your brain for some new fads, here are some suggestions. The humble shoestring can be converted into something spectacular if you know how. Color several white strands with nail polish. Then the next thing to do is to braid the different colors together and there you have a necklace, bracelet, or even a belt. Still another idea is to join powder puffs together on a velvet ribbon and quick as a flash you have a clever necklace. Then sew on little buttons for eyes and embroider a nose and mouth. Also one large puff will make a darling lapel pin, while still another brainstorm is to sew a cluster of tiny puffs in the center of each puff.

French Women Using Unrationed Food and Cloth "Take the hearts of cabbage and lettuce and soak them overnight in a liquid containing white wine and spices for an uncooked and inexpensive delicacy, or, if you prefer, cook or fry them until soft and serve with a vinegar dressing." This recipe was taken from an article in Voici, an American magazine printed in French and received by Miss Annetta M. Sprung, telling of what the people in France are substituting for rationed food and clothing. As chickens are 250 francs apiece (about $5.00) and two rabbits cost 300 francs (about $6.00), recipes for use of otherwise wasted materials are welcomed. Many of the French women are making warm dresses and capes from curtains and bedspreads and wearing net or tulle, very thin materials, over worn blouses and dresses to brighten them up. As ribbon is unrationed, they buy long, wide, strips of it and make blouses and dresses by sewing the strips together. The latest vogue is the national colors sewed together in a ribbon blouse. Shoes are .now being made of wood, cork, and, according to the labels, magnesium. Women are told to save every piece of fur because no matter how worn it is, some corner or spot can always be brushed and used.

Just a year ago this week, Lin-

Winning seven of eight contests and the fates being kind, the Lincoln high cagers won the Missouri Valley basketball throne. It was Coach Lyle Weyand's first season as the Lincoln high. basketball coach, and Lincoln's second Missoul'i Valley title in as many seasons. Lincoln has to thank the Sioux City East squad for the title, because of their having trimmed Abe Lincoln of. Council Bluffs, 38-35 Friday, eliminating the only contender able to put up a fight for this honor. The Links whipped Sioux City Central. and Sioux City East early in the year, 34-21 and 26-20, to begin their rampaging conquests. Continuing their winning streak, the. Weyand crew downed Omaha So.uth 27-25, Omaha .Tech 41~22 and 26-23, Omaha Central 35-29 and 28-19, before the South high Packers captured an 18-16 decision to create a troublesome situation. Next, the Red · and Black will be attempting to capture the Beatrice regional title.

Wertz, Finkelstein Win Tournament The table tennis boys doubles tournament finished with $anford Finkelstein and Ferdie Wertz taking top honors. They won from Jim McGrath and Jack $tone, runner--ups. Wertz captured honors in boys singles, winning from Finkelsteill. In the girls doubles, Jackie Gordon and Evangeline Howard · won from Dorothy Eckblad ·and Mary Smith. As the table tennis room, 131, i.s now. being used for taking Links pictures, the· to.urnaments have discontinued. As soon as this room is again available, play will resume. There. will be girls singles and doubles, boys singles and doubles, and mixed doubles. Mis's Lillian Story will be in charge.

In the Classes French magazines, purchased when Miss Annetta Sprung went abroad a few years· ago, were displayed to her French classes. Subscriptions were discontinued when the war broke out so now they are very valuable. The magazines are composed mostly · of colorful advertisements, fashions, and a little fiction. Lunch periods are now only 15 minutes at North high in Omaha, according to Janice Johnson. Three Kearney high school graduates; Warren Jones, Gifford Haley and Neal Radford, all of whom have · been killed in action while serving their country, were h<mored at memorial services held at the high school, February 18.

Lincoln's Gene Roland's timing in the 104-yard backstroke of 1 :22 :3 was the best time turned in for the day. There wa~ no diving because the Y. M. C. A, pool in Fremont has no ..diving facilities.

Gonzales In Tournan1ent OfChampions Takes Golden Gloves Crown After capturing the city crown, diminutive Ascension Gonzales traveled to Omaha to battle out his second state bantam-weight crown last week in the Golden Gloves tournament, Gonzolas and Paul Martinez, 11.2 pound king, were the only defending champions to enter the tournament. Both came thru with flying colors. Bill McNair, Uni.versity of Nebraska freshman, was the only other entry from Lincoln and won his pet event, the 160 pound crown. Gonzoles won his first two bouts on T. K. 0.'s and battered Reuben Arnold, in the most entertaining bout of the tourney, with short jabs in close to take the decision and title. The rnidwest champion went to Chicago stadium for the tournament of champions, Monday night. Gonzoles went to Chicago last year but lost his first bout on a T. K. O., because of a bleeding cut over his eye. Besides Martinez, Gonzales is the only Omaha boy to go very far.

The second half, th.e

Boys, School Is More Vital Than Army for You "Don't quit school to join the army," stated Sergeant J. P. Yocum of the Lincoln army recruiting office in a recent interview with a Lincoln high .school student. "I am not allowed to give out the number of high school students that have joined the army," said Sergeant Yocum, "but many have . asked for information about enlisting. "Ali boys wishing information about enlisting may get it by coming to the army recruiting office." Sergeant Yocum also cautioned pupils to disregard all rumors, whether transmitted by the radio, in the newspaper or by ways of mouth,

Former L·inks If you read in the Ventura, California, sport column that the Ventura City basketball team is going to town, give the credit to the highest scorer, Bill <:;ummings, a former Links cage star. Bill has shown the Californians that we play better basketball than football. Leaving Lincoln last September with ten dollars in his jeans, he arrived in Ventura five days later with $6.50. To save on expenses while hitch-hiking, Bill slept in several city jails. J;Ie enrolled in Ventura junior college with the ho.pe of playing on their basketball team, but Bill was offered an accountan's position in the Bank of America and accepted. He will be in Lincoln in May to spend his vacation. Edward McConnell and Robert Sandberg, who were graduated from Lincoln high school in 1937, are now attending the Harvard graduate business school, where they received the national defense scholarships given jointly by Harvard and the government. The boys are in the R.O. T.C. quartermaster division and in 18 months, when l:hey have finished a special business course, they will receive a commission in the quartermaster corps of the army. While in Lincoln high school, Ed was a member of home room representatives, national honor society, was vice-president of the Hi-Y club, and was managing editor of the Advocate. Robert was a member of student council, orchestra, camera club, national honor society, and.· Mimes, was vice-president of Mummers, vicepresident of the Hi-Y club and treasurer of writers club. Gaylord Glass, former Lincoln high baseball player, is working in a defense factory in California. Victor Glass, his brother, has left California, where he has been for the last year and a half, to join the army. Bill Snyder, '41, is now in Station hospital, Paine Field,. Everette, Washington. He was shot in the foot while on guard duty at a defense spot. While. in high school, Bill was on the swimming team and broke the state record i,n the 100-yard free style with a 56.5 performance. Bill went with the National Guard to Camp Robinson at Little Rock, Ark., immediately after graduation in January. Kenneth H. Miller, '40, is now in the army air corps, stationed at Scott Field, near Bellville, Illinois.

"We can't miss." That fact wal true of the fast and furious game at Kearney last Saturday,

Feb.

21, resulting in a final 53-29 vie~ tory for Lincoln. The first half Kearney used this axiom; then the Links used it the second half with much better re.sul ts. Things looked bad for the Lincolnites when Kearney by· vir• tue of its first few shots rolled to a 8-2 lead in only three minutes of the first quarter; Shots by Dean, O'Donnell and Al Bloom brought the Links to within one point at the quarter. In obtaining an 8-7 lead at the quarter the Bearcats exhibited flawless floor work and almost as good passing. Then the cagers found part of the basket and finally went to the locker rooms at the half with a 22-18 lead. Then it happened! The Links dropped in six out of nine baskets along with two free throws before the Bearcats could .even score a basket. Big Al Bloom personally took care of the scoring by dropping in seven buckets and three free throws for 17 points, which Eddie Hall and Mickey McDermott played good floor games and Rodger O'Donnell coming along with four baskets and 8 points. Coach Lyle Weyand's reserves who took over in the fourth quarter kept up the torrid pace and when the final buzzer rolled up the tremendous score of 53-29. Box score: Lincoln.

Their record up to the present time in Big Ten competition is 10 out of 11 conference games. The Marines in Iceland sure like their basketball, even if it is pretty chilly in their gymnasium. The standard uniforms are heavy red flannel underwear, wrestling socks and the regulation pants, shirts and knee pads. P. S. Also earmuffs. All pole vaulters ought to heed this statement. The best pole vaulting weight is 168 pounds. This is the weight of Cornelius "Dutch" Warmerdom's vaulting poundage. His weight has never varied from this amount for two years. Lincoln's high's track squad ought to be in good shape come time for the first meet. The returning .lettermen and certificate winners have been working out at the stadium for the last month. The Nebraska. coaching. staff isn't superstitious, apparently, as there are 13 men on the roster, three football, one track and field, one baseball, one basketball, one gymnastics and wrestling and one swimming, trainer; equipment manager, intramurals, and director. Incidentally only two of these are non-Nebraskan. West Texas State Teachers basketball squad quit palying to win garne:s and started playing to score points and have done it \.vith a great success. They scored better than 100 points in fiveo games and in every game kept their help· less opponents below the half century mark. P. S. They kept winning too. ..

Since predictions are that un. necessary elaborations of men's and boys' suits are to be eliminated as part of the conservation for defense effort, did you ever wonder why these garments all have buttons .on the sleeves, and lapels on the coats ? Where did the modern bow tie originate? Well, take buttons on the sleeves first. As ·far back as 1364, men had b.uttons up to the elbow on the sleeves of their coats, which made it possible to get their hands into the tight sleeves. Later they were used on cuffs .of jackets so that they could be unfastened to ·allow the wearer to push through his ruffled cuffs. In some in~ stances, the ruffled lace cuffs were buttoned to the sleeve of th.e coat. The lapels on jackets are derived from the early military uniforms. -Soldiers, seeking comfort, often unfastened the upper button of the high-collared uniforms, and rolled back each side. This custom gradually affected civilian fashions, until jackets were finally made with lapels, complete to even the buttonhole of the highnecked jackets, which had been unbuttoned. Bow ties originated a few centuries back, when college boys of the time bought long strips of washable fabrics and wrapped them many times around their necks, making a bow in froat. This neckdress has 'resulted in the single band around the neek, with the ends tied in a bow· knot, which we know as a bow tie. Thus "gay young blades" of the past set the fashions of the present.

L. H. S. Pupils Will Construct Model Airplanes Five Hundred To ·Be Finished By June 30 Five-hundred model scale airplanes are to be turned off the assembly lines by Lincoln high school students by June 30, 1942. J. C. Wright, assistant U. S. commissioner for vocational education and director of the model aircraft project said, "Accurate scale model aircraft have proved the most helpful training device for the · recognition of aircraft, · range estimation, and determination of cones of five. For this reason the navy, the army, and civilian defense groups, and others need thousands of them. This will require the inodeling Of planes of many types : Fighters, sco1,1ts, fighter bombers, bombers, torpedo carriers and commercial planes. They are to represent the planes of the United States, England, Canada, Australia, _Holland, Russia , France, Ger.many, Italy, Japan, and other nations now engag ed In this war." Alvin Miller, industrial a rts supervisor of the Lincoln schools, is in charge of the model building which will be 1,250 models from all the Lincoln schools and c. E. Eva ns is in charge of Lincoln high school building. Checking out of material and pl~ns for these model airplanes which are to be macie on the exact scale of 1 to 72 started Monday. Students wishing to use the woodwork shop can do so after school, but more of the work will be done at home in spare time. After the models are" made they will be sent to tlie navy at its expense and those whose pla nes are accepted will get a certificate of recognition for their service on each model. This program gives the boys and girls of the United States a defin it e responsibility in the- war effort.

'Early to Bed and Early to Rise,' For Boys Town

First Aid Applied To Betty Jo Packard by Virginia Seacrest Part of the members attended a regular faculty meeting Tuesday, February 24, with H. C. Mardis, while the other g roup met in room 306 for fir st aid instruction. The groups changed places' after 30 minutes, so that everyone attended both meetings. The first aid instruction wa s unde r the direction of Mrs. Mary C. Mapes, the school nurse, who was assisted by Virginia Seacrest and- Betty Jo Packard. While Mrs. Mapes expla ined the methods of bandaging, Virginia applied triangular bandagea t o her acting p atient, Betty Jo. Virginia received her t r aining in first aid from the Girl Scout course and has earned a first a id certificate. All the members of the faculty received an outline, which was compiled by Dr. R. B. Adams, school physician. These outlines briefly t old what to do in case of bleeding, shock, burns, fainting, and fractµres. Also included was a list of the supplies for sta ndard school first aid kits or cabinets. These supplies are: one ounce aroma tic spirits . of a mmonia, an ounce m';rcurochrome, one pa ckage cut gauze, toothpick applicators, two two-inch bandages, one pair scissors, one roll one-inch adhesive tape, Tannoid ointment, Amerton or Hexyltan, t riangular bandage and prepared dressings on a dhesive t a pe. There are first aid cabinets in each of the four shops; in the cafeteria kitchen, in the nurse's room, in both gymnasiums, in rooms 224 and 200, in room 325, in tho ouetodia:n's office in the basement, ·and in the · dressing rooms in the stadium. They are t o be used only in cases of unusual emergency; as all first aid in the school is cared for by the school nur se under ordinary conditions.

Handbook To Be Printed Soon

Since the first issue of the Lincoln high school Style Card in 1915, there have been many changes in this annual publication, revision of which was started recently by the English department. In 1915 it was a card with just a long list of words on it, some capitalized, some punctuated, so t hat quite a lot of skill was r equired to understand it. · Today in booklet form the Style Card presents In compact form the accepted pract ice of this high s chool in specific regards with a few examples of correct usage. Issued by the Eng lish departm ent to every student in the school, the nature of the Style Card prevents the inclusion of rules of grammar or rhet oric. The card makes .no pretension of completeness or finality. It is based on a survey of present practice. F rom the old Style Card it may be seen that there were several different organizations in the school than there a r e now, such as the Music Club or the All Girls League. In the 1923 Style Card the "Olympians" were mentioned. This must have been some kind of sports organization. Also in the 1923 style card was mentioned a Student Standard Club.

New Victory Book Drive Gains 175

In closing the second Victory Book campaign, sponsored by the home room representatives, t here were app roximately 175 books collected.

Fa1nily Breakfast Traditions A re No Longer l(ept Did you know that of the Lincoln high students who eat breakfast, 18 percent get their own a nd another 19 percent help, but 65 percent take no part in prepara tion of the morning meal. The health survey, t a ken from r ooms chosen at random through the building, shows these figures. Breakfast as a family tradition with all member s gathered around the t able, is slowly disappearing, for facts assert that a little more than ha lf of pupils canvassed eat their breakfast in the disjointed hand-to-mouth fashion. Perhaps it i" bec ause in the flurry of s t a rt-

ing- out in the ' morning· there sim· ply is no co-ordina tion, but it may just as likely be the fact tha t parents oversleep. A well balanced meal is the aim of most students wh en they purchase their entire lunch at school cafet eria. The amount of money available to spend is the next consideration. Most lunches packed at h ome and broug ht to school are composed of sandwiches, cake or cookies, and fruit, their appearance in the order as stated. To supplement these lunches a drink, a candy bar, milk and a hot dish, also in descending order, are ch osen. Good food sense seems to be the theme carried through by the average student.

Of Yourself Economists Listen to Mrs. Floyd Jones, Defense Worker "To determine what we can do to aid our country in these difficult times, w e should take stock of ourselves and decide just '"'.hat we are capable of doing," stated Mrs. Floyd J ones, Girl Scout executive, at the meeting of the home economics club, F ebruary 23. She explained the office set-up for volunteer defense workers, in · the First N ational bank building. Althoug h everyone might not ·be given something to do now, the, defense office executives would like to have everyone in Lincoln t a bulated as to what he can do in case of an emergency. Boys as young as 12 ha ve registered as airplane spotters. "You can do defense work right a t home, helping mother, and doing household tasks.

Council W 01·l\:s

On Joy Night Makes Preparations For Advertising Annual Event At Last Meeting Preparations for Joy Night were of primary importance a t the student council m eeting ~f F ebrua ry 25. Arrangements w ere made for council m embers to telephone all persons who g raduat ed from Lincoln high w ithin the last three years and notify them of Joy Night. To a dvertise this annual event signs a r e t o be placed in downtown store windows. A f ew signs are available to pupils who definitely k now a nla r<> where they may put t11em. Signs may also be obtained to display on car bumpers. Also paper napkins to be p laced in the cafet eria as advertising were folded by the members of council. The question of a llowing a person t o be on the debate team and be a council member the same semester was al.so discu ssed. This is important because both council and debate have their h eaviest schedule a t the sa me time. No decision concerning this issue was r eached. George H oward, president of the student council, is serving on the national defense sect or of the superintendent's round t able. This is ar. orga,nization of faculty m embers and in some cases, students, who meet to discuss problems of the public schools and advise the superintendent. H . C.

THE ADVOCATE

Write a Letter to ·Camp Help Soldiers' Morale Are you good at writing letters 1 If not, it's time you learned. Surely, you have a brother, friend, or a sweetheart who is in the Army or Navy with whom you can correspond. Put yourself in his place, and try to realize how glad he is when it's a mail call and there's a letter waiting for him to open. It's his only way of hearing about things that are going on at home. Wouldn't you feel $ad if your brother went anxiously up to the post office, thinking the1;e 's a letter waiting for him, then to find to his disappointment there wasn't even so much as a post card 1 He would certainly go away feeling forlorn and unhappy. That's why all of us must do our part and write letters to these boys, letting them know that we haven't forgotten about them. Remember, a letter a day keeps the blues away!

It seems Ann is just as Abel as Alice in Johnny Blumer 's viewpoint. Oh well, sisters will be sisters.

Pupils Late to Meetings May Raise Club's Ire No one enjoys waiting for a friend or standing· on a street corner wishing the bus would hurry. Well, no one likes to wait for students to come to club meetings late, either. When announcements . are given over the sound system sometimes it has been confusing as to whether the club meets in rom 315 at 3 :20 or whether the meeting is in 320 at 3 :15. Now, it should be clear to all clU:b members that all club meetings begin at 3 :20 sharp. Sound announcements of club meetings are much more effective if they are confined to a brief statement of the time and the place and of any 1.musual program instead of the "pep" type of anouncement.

How Does a Garden Grow? ls C1 y of Victory Farmer 4

'.'Is that a tomato pl<£nt or what1" "Hey, hand me that hGe." "Don't you dare put that worm on me!'' These may be familiar phrases in many yards of Lincoln high students this summer. That is, if they decide to co-operate with the Victory Garden plans now underway. Vegetables which contain plenty of vitamins are the main concern of Victory farmers. With all the food being used by the armed forces and being sent to the allies the regular farmers. are going to have a hard time raising enough to supply the needs. Therefore city farmers are taking over the business of raising vegetables for Victory! Inexperienced Americans are not encouraged to try their luck, as ~his will only result in loss of time; land and money. Anyone with the least bit of. :knowledge about this earthy business, however, is definitely advised to raise a Victory Garden. · From now on let's follow the motto: Vege· tables plus Vitamins equal Victory! .

MARGARET STACY. To the Editor: In the "personals" last week I saw the article saying that Mr. Rogers would like suggestions for new clubs. In Central high school, St. Paul, Minn., they have clubs for foreign languages; which are taught in the school. It would help pupils who are studying a language to im· prove, because practice makes perfect. rm sure there are quite a few that would like to have such clubs in Lincoln high, so what do you think, Mr. Rogers? RUTH WAITE. The plumes mentioned in last weeks' Open Forum lett.e r are priced at $2.75 each. To buy new plumes for the band would entail much expense. Mr. Nevin has stated that the plumes are : not supposed to be yellow but should be considered as gold to fit in with other trimmi~g. Some time in the future the band members expect to wear black trousers. When this dream is realized the plumes will be dyed red to make the . uniform fit the Lincoln high school .colors of red and black. Until then the gold plumes will remafu on the hats. EDITOR.

Diary-keepers Fall Into Types, As Do Diaries

Aircrf!,ft Companies Now Taking Extra Care Again Strikes and Sabotage "America is really preparing for · now and the future and n<> one knows better than those who are close to this work," was the comment made by Zellus Zellers, pattern maker at the Consolidated. Aircraft Company in San Diego, California, when interviewed recently in Lincoln. "When you enter the plant you must go in at the gate closest to your work. Aiter . yo'l,I are inside that's where you remain for the rest of the day. None of the em• ployees is permitted to leave the building after he' enters, except in case of emergency. You either bring your lunch or buy a. box lunch on the grounds," Mr. Zellers asserted. "As you enter the gates you are requested to show your identifica· tion, which is a button with your picture and other material," stated Mr. .Zeller. "You then go directly to your department and are forbidden to go to another, except· pattern makers, who are allowed to go from one department to another. "When a person enters he would think he was entering a prison," Mr. Zellers said. "There is a ten foot wall around the plant with observation towers on every corner. Guards patrol this wall both day and night and are also stationed throughout the factory and at ~very gate and entrallQe. "The ground that the plant covers," said Mr. Zellers, "is approximately the area from '0' Street to the C~urt House and from about Seventh to Eleventh street with 15,000 men on the pay· roll." At the question put to him about strikes and sabotage, Mr. Zellers

replied, "People outside of the plant know much more about strikes than those who ·are em· · ployed there, and sabotage is something the employees know nothing .about." ·According to Mr. Zellers; living prices are extremely· high. The houses for rent are few ·and far bet.ween with rents. ranging from $35 to $150. _There are no "for rent" sign!!' put on the houses. When a house is vacated, the next person on a. long waiting list auto· matically moves in.

In Other Schools A mock trial was held at East high school, Wichita, Kansas, by the request of the police department, for those who had violated traffic rules. In place of fines, the violator was penalized to write themes . or essays on th~ subject given to him. If speeding was the violation, a 2000 word essay on ''Speed Zones in Wichita" was the penalty, or for jaywalkfug, 500 words or. "Dangers of Jaywalk· Ing.''

Service· Organization. The girls are also enjoying themselves by going to dances given by the U. S. O. for the soldiers. The students in Franklin high achoo.I in Portland, Oregon, pre· sented a U. S. o. program for the soldiers. The program consisted of various acts put on by the students ii1 .the· high school. Wht.1 asked the serious question of "How low is low," pupils of the South Pasadena-San Marino high school, of South Pasadena, California, gave such replies as: "be· yond my figuring," "low enough," "bottom, I guess," and "twice half way." Some even stated: "when you're broke,'' and "as low 8.8 a centipede with fallen arches." How far down do you thfuk low is?

Band, Boys Glee Club Entertain at Vesper Lincoln high school band and .b oys glee club performed at the one hudred sixteenth vesper concert sponsored by the board of education, Sunday, March 1, at 3:00 o'clock before an audience of 600. The band, under the direction of Bernard F. Nevfu, played eight numbers. The boys glee club, w.i th Hugh T. Rangeler director, sang four. The most outstanding numbers were "Humpty Dumpty" and "Tom Tom the Piper'11 Son'', by Hughes, sung by the boys glee club, these having unexpected end· fugs; and "The Trumpeters": by Leidzen, featuring a trumpet quartet composed of Bob Baker, Walter Goobrod, John Kline and Jim Schrepel.

Red, White and Blue Our ships are riding on the foam, With sailors brave and far from home. They're fighting for our liberty, And all the things that make us free. Our boys at home are working too, To "keep •e·m flying," Red, White, .and Blue. .Our factories hum on into the night, To aid the army In the fight. And as they make each gleaming gun, We see the sinking of the "rising sun." For we'll fight to the finish when we get our cue, To "keep 'em flying," Red, White and Blue. MARIE KRAMER.

Omaha Tech's triumph on the final relay proved to be the deciding points for' the second consecutive time this year, as it administered a 37 to 29 shellacking on the Red and Black tankers in the metropolitan pool Thursday afternoon, February 26. ' Trailing by one point going into the last race of the meet, the 220 yard free style relay, Coach Francis' pupils put on the final touch for victory which resulted in an absolute:ly worthless bid, as Oma ha's cra ck foursome of Batholomew, J. Finnell, West, and L eake cracked the · state record of 1 :47.7 in the time of 1 :41.1. Bartholomew,'Leake and Hermsen copped individual first places to lead Omaha's attack while Branch, who won the 100 yard free style in the blistering time of 58.7, along with Fenton and Wat ers, sparked Lincoln's offense.

Blanche Duckworth was elected basketball leader; Peggy Shelley will be baseball leader and Mildred Johnson and Alice Pierce will be co-leaders in horse back riding. The other sports leaders have already been elected. A ;:;hort discussion on former G. A. A. members, where they are, and what they are doing, was held during the meeting, Thursday.

A. letter will be taken soon after March 10 when the basketball tournament is over. The definite date is undecided. What is it the girls' gymnasium has that attract s so many mice?

School Cafeteria Lunches Increase During January Daily lunches were being served to 62,167 children in 2,613 schools at the end of January, according to .an article in a local newspaper, under the community school lunch program. This is an increase of 4,09i children and 141 schools over December. Carl Johnson, state director of commodity distribution, attributes illcreasirig interest in the lunch program to the activity of Nebraska school authorities, parents; and civic. organizatiOns interested in better health for growing children. "Competent authorities,"· said Mr. Johnson, "have called atten· tion to the fact that selective service examination for miRtafy duty has ·disclosed ·an alarming percentage of physical disability in our nation resulting from insufficient or improper nutrition. It naturally follows that many groups and individuals. \\'.l)Uid wish to see this condition eliminated as much as possible in Nebraska." , To . .acll!iols in which there are w1dernourished children, the article explains, various nutritious farm products are contributed. These are purchased under the :farm .marketing program by the sucylus marketing administration ot the U. S. department of agriculture. T~e program in any school is a community affair, conducted under the direC'l:ion of a. lo9al sponsoring group which assumes responsibility for the proper preparation of the foods and serving of the lunches.

Heavenly Exhibit For Astronomers In March Skies Hear ye! Hear. ye! All who would be astronomers! Three planets and a comet are mobilized inthe March sky. SC) get out your telescopes and delve farther into the mysteries of the heavens. · .Ttipiter, Saturn and Mars make

up the trio of planets to hunt down in the western sky. First look for Jupiter because it is the brightest. Next look for the lesser brilliance of Saturn. If you find those then it will be easy to find Mars which shines between the two and is much fainter. Yet as recently as last October, Mars surpassed Jupiter in brilliance. Then, however, it was a very close distance to the earth, only 38;100,· 000 miles. Now to see it one must look 147,000,000 miles-and it is still speeding. away. Sta,rs are a great distance from the sun and shine by their own glow, while a planet · is any world which revolves about the sun and shines by light reflected from the sun. If you like to look for comets, Whipple's comet will reach its , maximum speed and brightness Maren 10 to 18. However, unless it becomes unexpectedly brighter, it will still be invisible, except with optical aid.

The home nursing course is a plan to aid the volunteers in caring for the sick in their homes, or in the homes of friends and neigh· bdrs.

'The Young People Of Today Will Have To Carry On in The Future'-Mrs. Grainger Youth's part in. the civilian de· fense program was explained- by Mrs. Harry K. Grainger, chairman of the volunteer office of the municiple defense committee, in a recent interview. "This home front is not planned only for older men and women," said Mrs. Grainger, "we need young people to help, too. We cannot overlook high school boys and girls in this service, for the young people of today will have to carry on in the future, and they ·will have plenty to do." Mrs. · Grainger stressed the importance of remaining in school and getting as much edµcation as possible to prepare for the future. "Some high school students have registered at the office, but not nearly so many as we should like to have," she said. In some branches, the volunteer must be over 18. Younger boys and girls, however, are needed to serve and be trained in the first ,a id, hospital and recreation, canteen, service, home nursing, motor, foreign production, and other corps, depending in many cases, of course, on the qualifications of the indi· vidual. A volunteer is interviewed at the office for a worksheet to find out talents or experience, preferences, and training de.sired in any course. He is asked, among other ques-

Inter-Class

civilians with knowledge and experience in auto or radio mechanics. Clerical service requires experience in typing, filing and general office routine. The canteen and food prepartion serviCes provide meals for large groups, and attend foc:>d and nutrition classes to get pracital experience in mass feed" ing. Training courses are being planned for people willing to give various types of. service. By a national agreement between the American Red Cross and the office of civilian defe~se, volunteers in first aid, nurses' aid, home nursing, canteen, nutrition and allied activities are trained by the Red Cross. "Naturally we hope that the t ime will never come when w e shall have to use these instruments of defense," Mrs. Grainger said, "but every day the war front is drawing nearer and defense industries are. being moved inland, so we don't like to take chances. Being prepared can never do us any harm. In fact, various branches of the program, such as first aid, nutrition, and home nursing, are beneficial to civilians at all times, war or no war." The central office at 316 F irst National bank building is open for registration of volunteers from 10 to 4 Monday through Friday, and until 8 o'clock Thursday evening.

War Discussed By Round Table ·Five members took part in the pan,el discussion on "Pos't War Problems in America," at the reg• ular meeting· of Round Table, Thursday, March 6. · Robert Gillan,. Donald Grant, Robert Heins and Charles Williams were the speakers with Roland Luedtke, interlocutor. Harold Luedtke, vice president of Round Table, presented the topic and participants of the d iscussion. "Production is t he· first problem,· going. from war time to peace time,'' explained Robert Heins. "Ca pital ·and labor must participate and peace must be differ· ent ," · he said. Robert Gillan, assuming the al· lies to win the war, told of the need of a peace settlement. "We must police the . world,'' were his words. Charles Williams spoke of the huge debt. ''We f~ce inflation, price control, high taxes and war," he explained. Donald Grant concluded by say• ing the aftermath of this war is what we are all interested in. To summarize the discussion on post war problems these points were g iven: United States will have to go back to peacE) time production; haye peace between capital and labor; have. · a peace policy to police the world; try to change the minds' of men about war; and try to raise the standard of living' throughout the world.

Future Leaders' Education Should Be Started Now .

THE ADVOCATE

By Hobert Hays

Why worry about education now 1 All the girls will only get married after leaving school, an9. the boys will be drafted so why bother about le~rning anything 1 This seems to be the general attitude of college presidents now, according to a recent article in the Journal by' Roger W. Babson, noted writer on financial affairs. Perhaps this also explains the fact that ·many students are leaving school to join the armed forces. It's rather useless to repeat the obvious fact that education is the keynote of the future, but it is the truth ! Men and wo.rnQll with educations are going to be the leaders of tomorrow. Right now, however, they are only students equipping themselves for the job of governing a changed world. The world is changing every day, and students realize that fact. They see the changes of a material world. The fact that they are . giving up to a war machine many things they considered absolute necessities 'proves that they recognize the change. They are learning to face more than mere physical change however. Their very idea,s and minds are being challenged and they are learning to answer this challenge. Youth today wants to be educated and ·wants to learn- new, useful things, things that may offer opportunity in a future world. The adults of today need to recognize this desire to help now and to learn how to help in the future. Educators need to listen to the stud.ents of today because they really have some good ideas. But those ideas must be worked out and their creators must be headed in the right direction. They roust be taught the things now that will make them useful leaders tomorrow. The youth of today's world wants to learn to meet the immediate need and to govern a peaceful world in the wisest way possible. Youth wants to be educated for the future of mankind and civilization.

,Between The Cove.rs Hitler Through Twelve-Year-Old

Eyes. A little twelve-year-oid girl has written a 312-page book on that profound subject, "Hitler." Many will ask what a book by a twelveyear-old is doing in the high school library. Patsy Ziemer's book, "Two Thousand Ten Days of Hitler" is the story of Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany, as it affected her life and that of her family and other American families living in Berlin at that time. The Ziemer family . was American, Mr. Ziemer being founder and headmaster of the American School in Berlin. .Patsy tells of ·her visits to Nazi schools, churches, factories and clubs.

Fight, Fight! Before Robert Mathewson left .for the navy, March 6, he composed the following lyrics to the tune of "Cheer, Cheer": Fight, fight for old Uncle Sam, Help all our allies out of a jam. Send his air force up on high, Knock down the Nippons from the sky. What tho the odds be great or. be small, Old Uncle Sam wili triumph oe'r all, All his loyal sons go forging onward to victory. Fight, fight with spi::it and gun, We will set the Rising SWl, Pay 'em back for their attack, When they stabbed us irt the back. On land and sea and in the air, We will attack them everywhere, Buy your defense bonds and stamps to help win our victory.

Care Must Be Taken To Stop Traffic Deaths During Present Grave Situation Few Lincoln high school students realize the gravity of the' situation now at hand. Few realize that :iow, more than ever, the health arid security of the people at home, the "civilians," are as vital to our defense as that of the men of our armed forces in the camps in this country or those on foreign soil. Today, traffic conditions in the United States present as much of · a problem to this coWttry's defense as threats of air raids or shellings by underseas vessels. There are still reckless drivers and speed demons as of former years and now, they should be considered definitely as un-American as saboteurs, hoarders and those few people in our country who still believe us to be immune from attack. The city of Lincoln, according to the Associated Press, was one ot the three cities of the class with a population between 50,000 and 100,000 people which did no.t have

a single fatal accident in the month of January. That particular AP story· is now a little outmoded due to the fact that February has passed and we are still without a traffic death within the city limits. This record should serve as an example to all students in Lincoln high school and should set a pace for further traffic safety, not just near the school, but wherever any of the students of L. H.

Oh, yes, the hour ·was exactly 6 :45, his usuii.l. time for departing from his war.m bed. As he stretched his arm out into the cold to tum his alarm clock, he remembered his Latin.. translation which he had ignored the night .before in order to listen to a radio · program. He shuddered at the very thought of it. Oh, well, maybe he could ;scrunch down in his seat so the teacher wouldn't see ·him.

Then came the sound of mother's quiet footsteps. Five little white papers went quickly into Junior's pockets and a reddish tint came to his face. Now mother, it seems, had been keeping track pn: a ·calendar to see just when the six weeks period did end. Consequently, she was prepared for almost anything. After a quiet talk, lasting for more than a half-hour, Junior's· whole self seemed· to be living in a different at- · mosphere. A lengthy explanation to mother on "Why My Grades Were Below Average" made a few things clear to both Junior and his mother. Such things as football, basketball, spending too much time wiu;( "my favorite gi.i-1, Suzy," and just. plain lack of concentration were the main factors for such poor grades. But now things were entirely different.

When he got downstairs, he realized that a lot of work was ahead of him, as his first glimpse out of the window revealed about four inches of freshly fallen 11now. The clock said 7:20 as he sat down to breakfast-a whole hour to get to school. He had often wondered why in the world his mother woke him so terribly early. Having consumed his luke-warm breakfast, as it had been ready twenty minutes ago; he saWttered down the basement stairs in the general direction ·of the snow shovel. As Spec was scooping his own front walk, the lady across the street "stuck" her head out of the door, wondering if he would clean her walk off, too. He replied in the affirmative, and afterwards wondered what time it was. Soon he had finished his own walk and started in on the neighbor's walk. Time grew shorter and shorter as Spec scooped and scooped. Just as he was finishing, his' mother informed him of the time and that really made him scurry. Spec ran all the way to school and arrived there at exactly 8:18. He rushed up the stairs to his locker, ·ran down the· hall, and rushed in the door of h!s home room, just as the . bell rang. As he slid into his seat, his teacher smiled and told him that she was glad he wasn't late. Spec was quite relieved, and . wished that he had climbed out of bed when the alarm went off. MOR.AL: If you are inclined To go back to sleep A clock you should find Whose '!arm goes beep, beep, This nois~ should arouse you And keep you awake. Then hurry to school And you won't ·be late. Now don't be like Spec. He's only a warning Be up early and You'll have a good morning. All the lassies and lads in Alli·&11ce high school donned their aprons and overalls for the gala celebration of Nebraska day. Girls wore bright colored ginghams, calicos and pique dresses, and the boys had on loud shirts and jeans.

Schools To save money for the purpose of buying defense stamps and bonds, the seniors in the Pittsburg high school in Pittsburg their graduatioin announcements. printed by their high school printing department. They found tnat in this way the announcements could be made and sold at a much cheaper price. Teachers of North Kansas City high school, assisted by other Kansas City teachers and a i4,000 budget, are planning nearly 15,000 interviews with business, industrial and professional leaders of Kansas City to determine the practical needs of employers. After they have compiled all of the information obtained, they will report to the board of education which may adjust the high school curriculum to meet the practical needs of. the employer.

Check Up-Do You Break Any Rules On Show 'Dating'?

There are a: few fundamentals for show dating that evei;yone who engages in this sort of pastime should know. It would probabiy be wise to check up on yourself and see if you unknowingly violate any of these 'rules. Girls, never hover over your date's shoulder while he is buying the tickets. Engage yourself elsewhere. Either concentrate on the pictures of the movie or retire to the lobby and wait for him. When finding seats, the tisher should precede with the girl following and the boy last. If the usher is not to be seen, the boy should do the trail blazing with the .girl following him. It is the girl's privilege to name where the couple. will sit. , When seated, a gentleman helps his girl take off ,Iler coat. The girl should aid him by drawing out the arm nearest the boy first. With these tips in mind, the evening should go smoothly.

Latest Fashions Include Earrings, Leather, Shawls If you've wondered why the girls

have that slightly oriental look lately, it's probably due to. the many shapes and. sizes of earrings thait have been adopted. Any kind from the cannibal-like brass rings to buttons, acorns, brilliants, clips and the dangling type are to be seen. Leather is new and differens for necklaces made in all sorts of curious designs and shapes, and studded with beads and brass. But that isn't the only thing new in leather. Cirls have gone back to the "wilderness" with purses made of cowhide with belts to match, jackets made "Daniel Boone" style with no sleeves and fringe around the yolk and bottom. Cowboy boots are back again, worn with almost everything, but more attractive with slacks or riding habits. Shawls have proved themselves capable for the young ladies' wardrobe, as well as for. "grandma". Used with play suitS for summer, draped over. the shoulders and tucked under the belt of a. favorite · • shirtwaist for a "date" dress, and of light wool lace over the head for evening.

Original Music For the first time in the history of Joy Night original music will be presented. Ed Toohey will play two of his own piano selections called "Spanish Dance" and "Almost Boogie," and Hugh T. Rangeler has composed the piece, "Hail to the Sons of Freedom," which will be sung by the boys glee club and octet. For the purpose of advertisingthe show to the business men of Lincoln, acts were presented last week to several luncheon c!Ubs. Peggy Hudson and Connie McBride danced for the Rotary club on Tuesday, and on Thursday they visited the Lions club. Peggy and Connie were accompanied by Peggy Shelley. Then on Friday, Marylouise Brodie, Phyllis Patter. son and Fred Langenheim did a tap dance for. the Kiwanis club.. Last Tuesday 375 souvenirs for Joy Night were sold in home rooms ·which brought in $18.75. Wednesday and Thursday 144 souvenirs were bought which makes the total $23.95.

Friday the 13th Brings Prompt Pennant Jinx Nary a home room for the past month has gone without a tardiness, the res u It-no prompt pennants! Superstitious people might claim the witches are on the loose, ·especially since there was a "Friday, the 13th" this month. But. the tardy pupils would probably just yawn and say, "March ls an awfully drowsy month." Another oddity occurred several weeks ago. .When totaling the tardiness, the startling discovery was made that every tardiness during one specific day, had been made by a boy.

Morgue Yields Zinc and Copper Three hundred pounds of old zinc and copper have been disposed of by the Links board. This metal was obtained when the morgue was cleaned out by the librarians. Many old, useless cuts in the morgue were pried off their wooden blo9ks and sold. Only those cuts which will have value in the future, such as exceptional pictures of the building, interior shots, and pictures of some persons, were saved and filed. Frank Kane's second period salesmanship class was leading the first period class. on March 13 in Links sales by a score of 222 to 210. In first place Was Bernard Svoboda with 30 sales. Joan Greenhalgh was in second place with 29. Leatrice Meskil and Malcolm Allen tied for third with 28 each, while Eldon Christopher held · fourth with 27 sales. Monday, March 16, was the 1ast day for part-payment purchase. Beginning Tuesday anyone buying a Links must pay the full price. $2 all at once.

Hazards in Home Cause Many Unnecessary Deaths People are shocked at the horrors of war, but seem to forget that .in five years 167,000 deaths in the United States alone were caused by accidents in the home. Besides the loss of millions of dollars in one year, 33,000 persons were killed and 4,850,000 disabled, 140,000 of which were permanent injuries. We should not overlook this fact in our all-out effort for victory. It has been found that falls account for more deaths and injuries .than any other type. A great deal of this could be eliminated if people wouldn't take foolish chances. Lamp cords shouldn't be left out in the room for someone to trip over, but should be placed agah1st the wall. Poisonous drugs should be kept out of reach of small children an~ labeled cle_ arly. Handrails provided for st~1rs, especially cellar and attic stairways, will prevent falls. All electrical fixtures including wires, should be in good repairs, 'and throw rugs should be provided with pads or mats to prevent slipping. These are just a few of the many things possible to do in preventing home accidents .. Fewer hazards make fewer chances for acc~dents. Right now more than at any other time, strong, healthy American people ire viti:-1 for the n~ti?n 's defense. Everyone must do his part to aid rn keeping Americans whole.

In a writing class Dick Ryman was called on to write an essay on "The Funniest Thing I Ever Saw." He wrote, "The funniest thing I ever· saw was too funny for words."

"Awake ! Awake !" was the cry of the minute men in 1776. To them, patriotism was not just a word in the dictionary, but it meant something that was much deeper. It meant to them, as it should to the American people of today, work; doing and not dreaming. As it was the Revolutionary war, so is it now. Action is the battle cry and vigilance the watchword. Perhaps the boys and girls of high school age sometimes take war a little too lightly. 'l'hrough the years the American citizens have taken for granted what their :forcfathets g·ave them, Ii the minute men were here to tell the :American people what to do, perhaps they would say, "The people in the United States all have a job to do-a 24-hour one. Everyone must work harder, which means longer working hours. But what if everyone does have to work harder? This is but a small sacrifice eompared to the sacrifices of the American ;oldier. Each .one can easily give up convenience ·and privileges in order to help keep America free. The purpose of retaining these heritages is , so the. American people can say what they want, read what they want and study what they want. Perhaps the pupils might apply these words right now in the present crisis. The knowledge which we· as pupils are gaining in high school will surely help prepare for the bigger jobs we will have .to do after graduating from high school. .

" Oh, whose truth book is t hat?" "May I see it when you're through?" These, and similar phrases are heard many t imes lately. For the uninformed, a truth book is a book, or many pieces of paper fastened together in some ingenious way, with a ll your class mates' names in it, and you are free to wr ite any comments, criticisms, or praises under any or all of the names. These truth books are frowned upon by many, but they can be helpful, strange as it may seem. If there is something you really dislike about a person, write it down as constructive criticism. Many people would like to know just what it is about them that doesn't make them click with the others. If you are called upon, or should it be said, get a chance to write ii1 a truth book, it won't hurt you any, and might make some one else happier, to write something complimentary, or constructive criticism that can be followed. However, very often, malicious, and often untrue remarks are viciously scribbled down by someone holding a grudge, or merely · wishing to spread some "good dirt." These remarks can do absolutely no good., and ofiten do seri· ous harm to some innocent stu· dent.

Saint -Patrick's Day Has A Very Proper Meaning

B·etween The Covers Boy's

Book

of Great Detective Stories. It is doubtful that there is a ny

boy who doesn't en joy a good detective story. In fact, there are very few girls who wouldn't enjoy reading about such popular sleuths as Bulldog Drummond, Hercule P oirot, Reginald Fortune, Lord Peter Wimsey; Dr. P riesty, Jim Hanvey and others who are found in "The Boy's Second Book of Detective Stories." It is edited by Howard Haycraft, and is a suc· cessor to his first "Boy's Book of Great Detective Stories." Deduction, rather than crime, is the featured theme in this collection of fourteen stories, written by mod- . em writers from E. C. Bentley .t o Edgar Wallace, cover ing a period of about twenty-five years. Every story is a t h riller and w ill bring exciting reading to everyone. Garden for Victory. Anyone who plans to garden for victory this year should be interested in seeing the March issue of the Consumer's Guide. It offers points for beginning g ardeners and !Yill serve as an excellent guide book. It gives suggestions .for various kinds of veget ables and fruits in a garden and also the equipment and care a garden needs. Besides this, it tells how to make use of extra supplies of fruits and vegetables and suggests reference material which can be obtained for furthe1· information. Gardens . in wartime will need careful planning.

St. Patrick 's day was celebrated yesterday, March 17, in every country of the world where there are Irish people. The origin of this "feast day" dates back more than a thousand y ears, to the t ime when St. Patrick was a missionary in Ireland. He is often referred to as t he one who "found Ireland all heathen and left it all Christian." There are several relics and symbols which accompany the memory of St. Pat rick .. A foursided iron bell in the Museum of Arts and Sciences in Dublin, and an ancient stone chair on the Rock of Cashel are two relics that are held sacred. T he shamrock, which is the nat ional emblem of Ireland, is connected with St. Patrick beca use he is said to have chosen it as a symbol of the Trinity because of its three leaves. Many Americans observe this day by wearing shamrocks, green clothes, etc. This year, more than a ny other, people have taken a more definite int erest in St. Pat rick 's day because many soldiers -in the American expedit ionary forces are stationed in Ireland.

Open Forum To the Editor: I wonder if the boys of Lincoln h igh would enjoy. playing in a gymnasium with banana peelings and empty lunch sa~ks lying all along the edges of the floor. These are the conditions preva iling in the girls gymnasium during fourth and fifth period, and the g irls cer tainly do not a pprove of them. The girls don't mind if the boys eat lunch in their gymnasium but they would r eally appreciate it it the boys who do eat there would put their empty lunch sacks and scraps in the containers provided for that purpose.

As classes in Central high l!chool in St. Joseph, Missouri, take up at 8 :30, they have a flag raising ceremony. Two buglers play "To . the Colors," w hile the p upils stand at a ttention in home rooms. After the ceremony, they have the thought for the day read over the sound s ystem.

·Collecting Dolls I~ Interesting Hobby For Two Lincoln High Junior Girls Collecting unusual dolls from all parts of the world is the hobby of Janice Johnson and Susan Chambers, juniors, who each have a large number of them. An unusua l doll in Janice's collection is one which came from a small island off Cuba, where t he natives Slit the foreheads Of their children in order to make their noses ex tremely long. ·The natives consider a long nose a mark of n obility. The doll from this island has this very funny looking nose and is dressed in the costume of the natives. The Swedish Consul's daughter sent Janice a Swedish doll for Christ mas several years ago. She also has one of the hill-billy dolls which are m ade in the Ozark mountains by children, who sell them, trying to earn enough money to go to school. A doll, representing the Goddess of Happiness, from the Island of Bali, is also one in Janice's collection.

Janice has more than forty dolls. These are from almost all thelarge countries in the world except Germany. She has been collecting them for the past three years. Sue has t wo Hessian dolls in her e:ol· lection and some puppets from Java. Wh en she was visiting in Mex· ico, Susan brought back a Mexican doll. She also bough t English, Canadian and A laskan dolls when she was in. Canada . "The quality and authenticity of a collection of this type," Susan commented, "are really more important than the n umber of dolls." A n umber of dolls in both col· lections are from countries which are no longer in existence, and so have become more valuable. Two other unusual dolls in Sue's collection are a Porto Rican monk a nd a Czechoslovakian doll dressed as a bride. There are 75 dolls in S usan's colleotion which she has gathered since she was three years old.

A11dio-Visual Holds Meeting

Student Guides Conduct Tour To incr!'.ase their knowledge of of the theater, members of the Mummers made a tour of the Temple theater as a guest of Paul Bogan, ciirector of the University Players, Thursday, March 12. Upon entering the auditorium of the theater which contains 580 'aeats, Mr. Bogan introduced Clarence Flick, a senior, who is business manager of the University Theater, the highest position a student can hold. Mr. Flick explained that the University Thea.ter tries to present approximately five shows a year, three which arc usually some of the latest hits off Broadway, one melodrama and one classic. It is an all student organization and is open to most sophomores with certain qualifications. Parts are given after tryouts in · which the student reads a cut from the play. Mummers Tour Department. Members of the Mummers were then divided into six groups with students of the theater as guides to visit the different departments, the costume department, stagecraft department, speech cli11ic, debate, studio theater and the ·radio studio. Designs for the costumes are drawn by students at the university. Scenery for every production is made by the stage-craft class. In the advance classes, the students design most of the sets for the plays. When all the plans are completed, a small complete model cf the stage is made containing in miniature form all that will be in the final set. The speech clinic is for students with defective speech of any sort such as stuttering and lisping. Every student, when he first enters the university, must take a speech test. If there are any bad defects, the work at the speech clinic is recommended. Recordings are made about every three weeks in order that the pupil may watch his progress. In the university, freshmen are not allowed to debate in intercollege debate but can debate against each other for a silver cup on which their name is engraved. This year is the first time girls have been permitted to debate, but it is planned to continue this in the fµture. The studio theater is an exper· imental theater open to everyone in the university in which about 140 are now participating. Cuttings and short one-act plays are presented with a total of about 25 plays a year. The radio studio is composed of two rooms which are connected by microphones. Actual shows are not given over the air, but the rooms are used for practice. Boys are reminded by the student ·council not to hook on to th~ street cars going east and west on J street. This is one of the many safety problems confronting the high school area. Hooking is hazardous and those participating may end up in a serious accident.

Garden Miniature In Healthmohile Perhaps the first Victory garden in the state to be in full bloom this early in the season is the miniature one completed las t week by Betty B arkalow, Patricia King, Betty Lamb, Mildred Breuer, Helen Whitmarsh, Amelia Schwabauer, and other girls in Miss Ethel Murray's hygiene classes, and which is now touring t he state in Lancaster county's Healthmobile. Already, the garden appears t o have yielded a bumper crop of potatoes, beets, turnips, tomatoes, cabbages, pumpkins and m elons, though none of them are more than an inch in length and all are made of clay, paper and wire. Another feature of the mobile traveling health exhibit is the display representing the right and wrong sides of the farm water supply problem constructed by Kenneth Smith, Thomas McEvoy, William Ninneman, Donald Beeman and other students -in the boys hygiene class. C. E. Evans' woodwork class made the boxes to hold the exhibit. A frieze drawn by Hedwig Schultz will symbolize the purpose of the Healthmobile.

Classes A rhythm play in which the actors tap their feet on the floor and talk in rhythm, a backwoods sketch, and a teen age drama are now scheduled for Mrs. Winifred Ayers' dramatic class. E very member of the class must take part either in the casting or in the directing of these plays. A certain inquisitive person while in the gymnasium last week got curious as to why there was a door on the outside of the L. H. S. pool, which opened from the hall, but there was no door at that point opening into the pool. This person was obliged by Miss Lillian Story and was shown where this door led. If you can find out who was the inquisitive gal, she might t ell you what was there, and it surely was exciting, wasn't it, Miss Story? A reunion to take place in 1962 was enacted in Miss Ethel Bryant's period 2, English 4 class. A m1ss10nary , a lawyer and a n aviatrix were some of the persons r epresented. Others turned out to be a music professor, t he wife of a forest ranger and an aeronautical engineer.

Visitor Likes Class And Decides To Stay When a persistant visitor to Miss Dolores Young's first period home economics cla.ss chose to enter through the window last Thursday, he was not entirely unwelcome, the first time. However, he not only refused to leave at Miss Young's request, but had to be forcibly ushered from the building. He wasn't satsified with only one visit either. In a minute a hopeful face reappeared at the window and the furry gray and white kitten bounded in again. Afte.r his .second exit, the curtain -in the window was fastened down securely.

Girl Reserves Told To Seek Contentment At t he first of their meetings symbolizing a four-fold idea, the Girl Reserves heard the Rev. Clifton H. Walcott on March 16. This meeting·followed the spiritual symbol, and the. next three meet· ings will employ physical, m ental and social themes. Following his subject, "The Quest for Cori.tentment," the Rev, Mr. Walcott stated, "Inside of every human being there is the spirit of contentment if it can only be found." Citing an example of philosophy for contentment from "The Landscaped Ga rden" by Edgar Allen P oe, the Rev. Mr. Walcott asked the girls to try a form of life which would supply physical contentment by free exercise in the open air, personal. contentment by a contempt for the type of ambition which causes inordinate de· s ire to get ahead at the expense of others, home contentment by so• cial contact with happy relation• ships, and spiritual contentment by having an object of unceasing pursuit. "Christ as an object of unceasing pursuit," the speaker declared, "because he is always ahead of us, beckoneing us on to higher planes of living." I n closing the Rev. Mr. Walcott quoted the scripture, " Blessed are all they who put their trust in Him.'' "After high s.chool-what ?" "areas of adjustment" and "boy dates girl" are a few · of the t opics planned for . discussion groups at the H-Y Girl Reserves conference, March 27 and 28. R egistra t ion week for the conference is March 18-25: T ickets may be purchased for the whole conference for 50 cents, wh ile the price for the conference excluding the panquet and dance March 28 is 25 cents.

Ethyl alcohol is making history because of its pow er to make habits so quickly, according to Miss Mary E. Grimmett from the state department of education who spoke to third hour physiology 2 .classes, Friday, Mar ch 13, on narcotics. "We should study those things which are going to tie up w ith our life work," Miss Grimmett declared. ''We should have a knowledge of alcohol, so that we will know what we are doing if we intend to indulge in it." Miss Grimmett quoted Dr. R. E. Corradini from his book, "Narcotics and Youth .Today," by saying that the chief narcotic of the w orld of present time is ethyl alcohol. She went on to say that there are three kinds of ethyl alcohol, disguised, diluted, a nd absolute. Disguised ethyl is so called because nothing in the name sugguests that it contains alcohol. . Miss Grimmett then quoted Professor Kilpatrick of Columbus university by saying, "We study so that we may be more intelligent t o make a choice of action a bout · the thing that we are studying." "The human body can dispose of two teaspoonsful of alcohol in one hour," Miss Grimmett continued. "Ninety-five percent is eliminated from the body thru oxidation." Miss Grimmett concluded by saying that when we begin drin king, we are reducing ourselves from the highest form of life to one of the lowest.

Lincoln Deadlocks Tech For State ·Swimming Title Branch Cracks 50 mark; Links Bag Six· Firsts ··'Clutch"· Wins In Relays l{not Issue With the thought of tying · for the state prep swimming championship, the Frances-tutored Lincoln high tank squad won the medley relay and outlasted om·aha Tech's onslaught in the free style relay to accomplish this purpose in the University of Nebraska coliseum pool last Saturday afternoon. Lincoln and Omaha Tech tallied 65 .point.$ each, with Beatrice and Fremont scoring the identical number of 6. and Cz:eighton Prep of. Omaha counting but 2. Perry Branch of Lincoln and Chuck West of Omaha Tech were the individual standouts of the meet by establishing two new state records.

Nutrition, Its Defense Value

Have "You Forgotten?

Dr. Ruth Leverton At All Girl Assembly Wednesday, March 18 "Nutrition, as It Relates to Defense," was the topic of Dr. Ruth Leverton's talk at the all girl's assembly Wednesday, March 18. Betty Nash, president of the business girls club, introduced the speaker. Betty Jo Packiard, president of home economics club, closed the program which was sponsored by the two clubs. "This business of food is mighty interesting, because everyone has to eat," were Dr. Leverton's opening words. "We all need a little bit of knowledge for ourselves." "You still have the growth impulse, so what you eat is import.ant," she continued. "Things you eat in the next ten years can make or break you, but you don't have to take my word for it." Dr. Leverton said she could tell by the texture of the girl's skin, and hair, the way she carried he·rself, and the sparkle of her eyes whether she had coffee and a doughnut or a fruit, vegetable and meat diet. "How many of you eat raw potatoes?" was a question put before the group. She also asked about cauliflower, parsley, rutebega, and carrot tops. - It was found that few had eaten most of them raw. Continulng, she said 0!1~ :;:hould cat the brightly colou>rl vegetables, an at least one raw vegetable daily. "It is just smart business to eat well," _she added. •'Milk is very necessary. Its greatest advantages are that it goes down easily, and helps keep vigor and vitality." She stated that it was the girls' fountain of youth, and that they should drink from three to four cups daily. Touching on the calorie subject, Dr. Leverton explained rthat we always think so much about them and yet have a lot of funny idea,s about them. One surprise to the audience was her statement that Coca Cola has more calories per glass than skimmed milk. She told them to choose their calories by the company they keep, that is for minerals, vitamins, etc. Meat, fish, eggs, and cheese ;ue all necessary, Dr. Leverton explained, and one should have some sea food once each week. Eggs are important too, because they are our only source of the sunshine vitamin, and you should have at least three or four a week, with one a day the ideal.

Next the sophomore sextette, "Six Girl Friends," sang four numbers. Barbara Jo Kelley was quite "Tap-happy," as she danced through the next number. Following her was Ed Toohey, who exhibited more local talent by playing two of his own piano compositions, "Almost Boogie," and "Spanish Dance." Easily the sensation of the evening was the long-awaited faculty act. Appearing from an enormous family album, presumably donated to the Victory Book drive and opened by a soldier, the faculty discarded their class-room dignity and threw the audience into near.hysterics with their "Gay Nine• ties" antics. "Recreation Period," the L club act, followed. It represented rookies from Nebraska just arriving at camp. Among items were a barber-shop quartette, a small symphony orchestra, the first drill of the "awkward squad," a heartrendering tale of an "itty-bitty mousie" and a "great big pussy," narrated by Ed Hall, and an exhibition of tumbling and a trapeze act. · "The Flying Aces," Fay Licht· enberg and Adelbert Tipton, rolled · through some breath-taking stunts

such as striking on the floor, a match held between the teeth while whirling at top speed an skates. Marylouise Brodie, Phyllis Patterson, and Fred Langenheim tappeJ upstairs and down in the next number. "The Minute Maids," Winifred Nelson's all-girl orchestra, sv.ung sweetly through their own arrangements of several pbpular tunes Lenore Beck soloed and W'lS also part of a trio, the others being Martha Davis and Winifred Nelson; Joyce Stuve was featured at the piano in one number. "R11ssian Steppes," an exhibition of gr~ce and skill by Connie McBride and Peggy Hudsc..n, an r,uthe:ntic Russian dance, w~s the next attraction. Filling the time between acts were Jack Wenstrand timing Robr rt Avner as he tried to free himself from a strait-jacket in ten seconds, and Hoyt Yowell attempting to balance a rubber ball on the en of a stick. As a finale the girls glee sang three stirring songs with Willa Steelman appearing as a Red Cross nurse· in one, and the spotlight turned on the waving Stars and Stripes in another. before closing the show with Taps.

Authors of this grand show are Florence Ryerson and Colin Clements, world known authors of such plays as "Ever Since Eve," "Fare-• well to Love" and "Angels Don't Marry." Some of the players in these dram·a s were Don Ameche, Adolph Menjou and Veree Teasdale. "June Mad" has been produced in motion picture form, going under the title of ·~Her First Beau," starring Jane Withers and Jackie Cooper, but it was first produced under a record sales in the Los Palmas theater, Hollywood, California, in 1939.

Past Acts In Showcase Files Complete Except For 1931 Show Record Of Past Joy Nights Past Joy Night programs dating back to 1926 were displayed in the show case in front of the office last week.

In 1927, "Jabberwacky Town" was given by Mummers, "The An· imated Alphabet" by Round Table, and "Argentina Tango" was pre· sented by the art club. "Safety Razors First" was given by the Forum in 1928 and the faculty produced "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere." In 1930, "Wandering Minstrels'" was enacted · by the commercial club whose name was changed a few years ago to the business girls club. Also, the Mu~ers presented "Silence, Please."

Work on Scribe Progressing Well "Work on the Scribe is progressing beautifully," according to Miss Elsie Cather, sponsor of the writers club. "Almost all the copy is down at the print shop and when it comes back all that will be left to do is the proof reading." The Scribe, which is edited annually by the writers club, contains original stories, poems and essays. Although no special theme was chosen, most of the material submitted was of a patriotic nature or pertained to the present war. Miss Cather stressed the fact, however, that the pieces which have been a·ccepted are more patriotic than depressing. The Scribe will be distributed soon after Easter vacation and is obtained either b)'. an activity ticket or 25c.

First Aid Instructions To Be Given To Faculty Because there is not enough time and space available for Red Cross instruction, it has been de· cided that each school will be under the instruction of school nurses. Already half of the number of schools have given their teachen; Instruction, including Lincoln high. Others will complete the instruction before June.

Former Lincoln High Student Tells of Jap Attack on Pearl Harbor, Life in Hawaii "The morale of the people in and around Pearl Harbor is splendid," stated Mrs. J. J. Heirot, the former Anne Bunting of the class of 1930. Her husband, Captain J. J. Heriot, a graduate of West Point, is in the field artillery division of the army. Captain and Mrs. Heriot sailed from New York for Schofield Barracks, 20 miles from Pearl Harbor, in September, 1940. "In the first Japanese attack," said Mrs. Heriot, "the planes flew so low I could at once tell they were not United States planes as I could see the Japanese emblem on the planes. '.l'he machine gun bullets were so many and flew so fast there wasn't a place you could see that they weren't darting." During this first attack Mrs. Heriot stated that she placed her small daughter, Maury, in the closet, placing pillows around the closet and placing a blanket around the baby. She later found out that the baby wasn't in as safe a place as she had thought. A machine gun ·bullet· had pierced one side of a neighboring house, passed -through the kitchen, into the bedroom through a closet into the living room and would have gone out the outside wall of the house if it had not come to rest in a heavy chest. As there were no bomb shelters at that time, the people were evacuated to the barracks just before the second air attack. Mrs. Heriot continued that just as she was entering the barracks a man,

a few steps behind her, was hit by some of the flying bullets and was killed. "We remained at the barracks from about nine o'clock that eventful Sunday morning until four or five o'clock that evening," she continued. "Then the order came to go to Honolulu until further notice. All- the women and children at the barracks were taken there in buses and we spent the night at one of the schools in Honolulu. The next day women with babies were sent to a home in the hills. I later stayed at the home of General B. H. Wells arid his wife." After being asked if the women there had any war time duties Mrs. Heriot said that the Red Cross and Salvation army were doing wonderful work. There weren't any jobs for the other women. The hospitals had enough nurses as some of the women inquired about it and the Salvation army and the Red Cross were well filling all the other duties. Mrs. Heriot and her daughter arrived in San Francisco two and a half weeks ago on the clipper,. having received an hour's notice for departure. She said that she had made her reservation on the plane the tenth of December and had waited almost four months for her call. She added that there were 4,000 people on the list when she left. After being asked some questions on her life at Schofield she went on to say, "Schofield resembles a small community in itself.

Joy Night Army Recreation Center Brings Big Crowds to Three Night Success With a recreation center at an army camp as the theme, Joy Night again , provided three gay evenings of merriment. A considerable block of seats for each night was given to the army air corps with the compli· ments of the Student Council. The boys glee club set the atmosphere by singing, "Sons of Freedom" written by Hugh T. Rangeler. As a "Parisian Refugee" Margaret Munson, exhibited her ar· tistic talent in a series of quick sketches of such varied subjects as pigs, money bags, fish and milk bottles. Assisted by Jack Wenstrand, she finished with a picture of Uncle Sam. "Revolt of the · Morons," the Mummers' contribution to hilarity, starred Erma Tyrell, Richard Lahr, Robert Lesher, and Stuart Goldberg in a drama of ambition, revolution and abdication in the land of Moronia. Bobbette Burke, the "Camp Hostess," imitated Beatrice Kay with two numbers. Don Brewer was her limelight-seeking accompanist. "Clem,". impersonated by Peggy Shelley, did an intricate combination of piano-playing and tapdancing, while waiting for the girl friend, "Daisy June."

One can buy almost anything there that he wishes. There was no food shortage except asparagus. The food prices there were much higher than· they are in the United States because almost all foods have to be imported. Little food is grown there." The island on which they lived was called Oahu and it offered almost any recreation one could ask for. There were football games, a boxing bowl; three movie theaters and tennis courts. There was a club for the officers also. They could go on a picnic or swimming practically any time they wished, the weather was so agreeable. The temperature never got much lower than about 55 degrees F. Most of the natives there are not in the army. They either work on plantations or in pineapple canneries. There is an organization called the Hawaiian Territorial Guard that the natives may join and many do. "The Japanese make up most of the population there," added Mrs. Heriot, "but they caused no trouble. Their conduct was very good. The F . B. I. watches them rather carefully and if any trouble does arise among them the F. B. I. can usually tell who started it. At first the blackouts were held from 6 o'clock in the evening until six next morning. After war time started the black-outs were from 7 p. m. to 7:30 a. m. She concluded by saying, "The morale of all the people there is very g6od, and even the children have learned to keep a level heiYI and keep calm."

Help Beautify Campus; Keep Waste Off Grounds

EINSTEIN ANGLEDOME By Hobert Hays

During the past few years the home room representatives have been trying desperately to clean up our campus. 'l']Jeir effm;ts have been valiant and the results noteworthy, but -it is impossible for them to do it all. With each spring comes the age-old thoughts for the beautiful outdooi's. Everyone then comes out of his shell and proceeds to transform the lovely landscape into a . junk pile. The reasons for this are thoughtlessuess and lack of pride. It is so easy to dispose of papers, string, etc., by merely dropping them to the gTound but it is also very unnecessary. It is only a few, steps to a waste basket and those few steps will save .a lot of work and time for someone else. Pew students seem to realize that the appearance of the campus is as important as that of the building and its interior; 'l'he first things to meet the eye of a visitor are the grounds surrounding tho. school. 'fhe sight of these is firmly planted in .his mind and first impressions are always impol'tant. Another side of this subject is that at the present time materials vital for defense must ·be saved. When a great mrn1ber of papers are left on the campus s~me of them may be retrieved but many blow away and are tlrns wasted. '11he best cure for this loss of material is to not carelessly throw things about. This spring why not see if the cam1ms can really be made 11 thing of beauty. Everyone will feel better and can be even prouder of Lincoln high school.

Yes, it seems to be,but is it 'I This old problem has been stl'essed tiiile and time again, but there are still a few who think it is either fun, or just a nice pastime. In these cases a little common sense wouTd ''fill the bill." Have you ever thought of the serious results that conld ensue if one were to travel directly to a person's eye 7 Some that could easily be mentioned are: Sister Sue, wearing glasses, because little Johnny thought it was' "cute" to shoot a rubber band at an unsuspecting gfrl; 'also Mr. Wigg·ins, hobbling down the sti·eet with a white cane in han(l; of course, we must: mention Billy Smith, who suffers such painful eye afflictions, that lie is unable to attend school three-fourths of the tiine. These may seem exaggerated, but they are not!

caps-of. course not! So why not keep rubber bands for the use for which they were intehcled. Use th.em in wrapping your school lunches, and for binding paekages, ratl1er than for a means by which you may "improve your marksmanship''!

Total Victory Demands Great Sacrifices Fro1n All This year of 1942 lying ahead of the Amer-

ic,an people is going to be one of iuc1·easing sacrifice. Not a d£ty goes by without some government spokesman telling citizens over the radio or thl'Ough the newspapers of new sacrifices they must make to win this war. Already they have learned of the government stopping the manufactl.lre of such thing·s as cars, refrigerators, sewing machines and radios which nearly everyone has come to regard as necessities. People of the United States are urgently i·equested to save every particle of waste paper, string, tin cans, tin foil, rao·s and other materials. They are asked to p~t every cent that can possibly be spared into defense stamps. Stern measures, these. However they are masures whch the American people are only too willing· to carry out to the Ia.st degree, if they will help win this war. Everyone can and must work harder o·et along with less, and waste nothing-. ' "

Dandelions Will Soon Be Showin' Their Gay Color

Very soon now, little yellow flqwers will be showing their tiny faces in millions of yards. Yes, the dandelion, which is the delight of poets, but a nuisance to cultivators of lawn and garden will be coming out in "full glory.". Perhaps we are not all familiar with the dandelion, other than that we know what a pest it can be.

It is found throughout the world and is sometimes used as a vegetcible 01: 1n ec:1ir~i11c. Young dan clclion leaves are oflten used for greens for salads. The dandelion itself was brought to America by early colonists, .1111d got its name from the French woras meaning "tooth of the lion," and was sug_gested by the smootr., coarsely toothed leaves. It will be a very common sight to see some of our fellow-classmates kneeling on the "good earth" and eradicating them. Slicing close under the surface of the ground only encourages the plants to grow. Persistent dandelion growths may be killed by spraying them with iron-sulphate solution, mixed in proportion of one and one-half to tw-0 pounds per gallon of waler. Lowell's lines paint an attractive picture of the dandelion: "Dear common flower that grows beside the way, Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold."

I heard the other night Bal Bowers and Bettv Ed Strain were staudi\g at Betty'~ froni door. In a whisper Bob 1aid: '' w c 've been going togethlr a long time, haven't we'?'' "Why, yes, " Betty said. Bob went on: ''We've cone to know each other, to trust each othed' "Why, certainly," Betty answered quickly. Then Bob. rather reli1ved, said: "Then will yoi1,-wi i'l you please !end me a dime for car fare? I'm broke."

Round Table Show · Hobbies Twenty-three Of Club Prseent Many Different Hobbies Twenty-three of the members present at the R·ound Tabie meeting of Thursday, March 19 had one or more hobbies. The program devoted to hobbies was led by f-obert Lesher. He expiained that here are useful, unuseful, educational and non-eCrncational hobbies, with some being valu.able, others worthless, and some needing a lot of time spent on them, and still others only little. Donna Henrickson, · one of the twirlers of Lincoln high, demonstrated her hobby of twirling. She showed the front hand twirl, table top, and the figure eight. · Due to lack of room she couldn't do some of the "wild ones." Puppets are Dorothy Weiland's hobby. She explained that by only having a clown, a colored boy and a bell hop which is in the making, she had to use a great deal of imaginati,an. She has a stage that her father made her on whjch she presents her shows. Change ringing is the hobby of Robert Gillan. He said that he b e• longed ,to the Lincoln Bell club, and that they had made six changes on three bells. H.e explained his hobby was not useful but very, entertaining, J ean Mikkelson has knitting for her hobby. She has knitted sweaters and purses, and is now working on a twin sweater set. Charles Williams reads plays in his spare time. He has read "The Philaqelphia · Story," "The Devil and Daniel We bster," "Life With Father," "The Man that Came to Dinner" etc. He told the members to read the plays themselves for a good pastime. Roland Luedtke showed two hobbies, one he thought worthless and the other educational. Match covers was his worthless one. He I has a.round 2,000 now, · and still looking -for new and different ones. He has his collection classified as to countr.ies, states, cities, the places in cities. · He showed others classed as dogs, boats, organizations, political ones, movie stars, and baseball players. He had one from Canada with a V for victory on it. For his educational hobby he has a newspaper and magazine collection. He has magazines on file and has kept newspapers from September 1, 193'.J. He has found this collection very useful for reference. Graphology and iris have been Miss Valeria Bonnell's hobbies. She explained that she learned telling characters from handwriting in E,ngland. Her iris collection is exceptionally fine. She· has iris bulbs va lued at $30 and has paid as high as $25 for or.e. She trades with people all over the country. She is a member of the National Iris club. Mrs. Marcia Montgomery reads 100 books a year. She said that she has a file of all her reading and r.~ads this many for practice, speed ant: information to pass on to her students. She also collects small china figures of people, and writes poems. John B. Quinn, <Ieputy secretary of state, will speak to the club April 16, on "What the High School Can do to Help in the War Effort." This will be an open meeting.

Pupils Hail Spring Vacation With Joy, Many Mothers Have Othe1· Ideas

In The Classes

It won't be long now, till March 30 when classes are over and. you slaves of the "Lab" and "Test Tube" will· be out f or a week of spring vacation. There will be no more gulped down breakfasts. No bells will ring for classes for which you are unfortunately unprepared. There will be no sleepy writing of notes on the causes of the Civil war in England (this is baffling; you had· always. though t of ·the Civil war being over here) ; no last minute telephoning to find out how you do the one on page 163. These unnatural bu.rdens forgotten for now, you prepare to go to town by way of a hol iday. For a few brief days you will be free to do what you want and nothing else. That's what you, think! Well, comes the i:evolution, maybe you will spend your holidays' as you like. But not now! You know Mother. Oh, boy! She thin.k s you've been sent home from school fo1· t w o purposes: to serve as a kind of unpaid errand boy and mother's helper, and to stick around home with the middle-aged relatives. There is a third purpose in her mind concerning v a c a ti o n--a c.hcery one! I t is to get to :Oed early. Mother begins in. tl}e morning, subtly desti;oying the feelihg of leisure whi.ch is the essence of vacation. "Now you are awake, dear,

A fifteen minute film on pneumonia was given Tuesday, March 17, to l.ygiene and physiologJ:' classes. The film showed that over 70 percent of deaths in the United States are due to pneumonia, which is more than all other diseases combined. Three out of ten people that have pneumonia die, but one of these deaths could be avoided if the patient had had proper care. Miss Annetta M. Sprung has been ·reading articles by M . G. Duhamel, French writer, to her French 4 classes. Duhamel has done much to boost morale by his. writings. In the m ag azine, "Voice," h e .tells of the new Pa r is and how it is different now from· the gay, noisy city of former days. He says Paris is not dead, but greatly changed. Tardiness for the past week have been cut down and the following home rooms have been awarded pennants: 102, 116, 117, 124, l~B, 133, 144B, 205, 207, 213, 305, 312 and 326B.

Student Speaks 0£ Trip To Coast Mildred Breuer spoke on her trip to California at the meeting of the travel club, Monday, March 23. While in California, Mildred visited Treasure Island where she said she especially enjoyed the robots. She also saw the mission at San Juan. She told of a separate aisle ins ide the mission for the Indians, to keep them separat e from the rest of the congregation. "They try to make their houses look delapidated, " Mildred said. She explained that on a Spanish . house for example, they chip off part of the house to make it look old in a modern way. She also told how the Chinese were continuany trying to keep business from the Japanese stores, and she showed cards which the Chinese distributed for this purpose. The next meeting will be held April f3, when Miss Elsie Rokah r will talk on her trip to Alaska and the Canadian Rockies.

Perfectly capable of running a hovse like clockwork with no help from you, she suddenly abandons all such m pdern equipment as the telephone · and the car, and falls back on the practically obsolete human messenger- you! Apparently she's bittel'\ by an uneasy fear tn~t your mora1 nature . will decay if you don't have regular tasks to do. Or she opens up indirectly on the matter of your 'dates.' "We want you home with us tonight," she announces. "And you must save one evening to go over to see Uncle Ezra; you know he can't get out much , and he count s on seeing you at E aster." (Uncle Ezra always gives you a distinct impression of boredom bordering on a fight.) Or: "Your father 's cousin from the South will be here for dinner T uesday night, and we want .all you youngsters home." (This is the night of the spring formal party you 've been simply dying to go · to.) Ah , yes! Vacat ion is such a wonderful institution !

Bumper Crop Spike Aspirants Await Campaign

Girls Sports

Plentiful Supply Sons of The Of Veterans Red and Black Bolsters Squad Bolstered by 13 returning letterm en, four of whom garnered valuable points in last years state track carnival to enable Lincoln to squeeze home in the runnerup b erth behind Omaha Tech, a bumper crop of 115. cinder aspirants :tias checked out equipment g iving rosy hue to this season's outlook. Since Joe Toman's induction ii1to the army has left the R ed and Black's coaching fraternity shorthanded, Ralph Beechner will take his first crack at handling the reins of a Lincoln high track squad and will find monogram winners returning in all events except the high jump and javelin. Event most heavily fortified, with seasoned material is the.quarter mile where Fred Birkman, w ho copped a third place -award in last year's state meet, holds fort. Birkman, a cinch to be a serious gold medal contender this spring, is ably abetted by . letterman Jack N ebelsick. Due t o Olly M agee's departure for Wentworth Military A cademy, t he outlook in the jumps is glum. Sprinter J a k e Jacobs will aouble in ··the broad jump but B eechner must look entirely t o n ew recruits for high jump points. The hurdles should be Il:)aterially stronger with Frank ,Anderson and Gaylord Edling, who climb over the high obstacles and pigskinner Mickey Allen; who skim s the low b arrifrs, haying a y ear's experience under their belts. Veter a n Elwood Barnes can match strides with any prep miler in the state and t ogether with Wes Cowell, who slips in under the five minute mark on occasion, forms a two man field in the long grind that leaves little to be desired. .The sprints sh ould bring a gleam to Coach B eechner's eyes, with Jacobs, w ho specializes in the century, and Bob. Schuckman tea ming to form a compet ent dash duo that should rank with the state's finest. These two also ·form the nucl eus for a crack 880 yard relay team. Hank M cWilliams was a consistent point m anufactu rer for the Links in the half mile during last y ear's campaign, culminating the season by s t r iding across the finish iine three notches off the pace in the state finals, and will be improved this spring. Capable assistance will come from Bob McCormick. Wally Munro is the lon'e letterman back for an other whir l at the pole vault but also to be con sidered is Jake Bruns, who was the leadin g vaulte r until midseason. Their ability indicates that no drop in talent should be expected h ere. Only ' lettermen returning in the weights is Neil McPherson, but this all state t a ckle can be relied upon to handle the s it uation cap~bly. McPherson's best results corrie in the shot put but he also can be counted on fo.r a steady stream of discus points. Help will come from a pair of promising newcomer s, Lloyd Bomberger and George Laughlin.

Girls! There's a rage for Beige

115 por t s

Neil McPherson, an all state tackle who has earned a brace of gridiron monograms in addition to a track award, is returning for his final campa ign in Red and Black trappings. "Nu ggett" finished a a fine season last year by tossing the shot 45 feet 10 inches in the state meet, good enoug h for third p lace h onors, then lengthened this h eave by four inches a week lat er to capture the Missouri Valley crown. Neil's discu s throwing ability, although overshadowed by h is work w ith the 12 pound sphere, w ill garner valuable p o i n t s throughout the coming campaign. :;:.:.

Winning three g a mes and losing none, the senior girls downed t he juniors, Tuesday, March 17, with a score of 19-9 to become the cha mpions of the inter-class basketball tournament. The 10-A's defeated the 10-B's 15-12. Tying for' first place for the high score in the tournament were Ardyce Kargo, senior, and Janis Pochop, sophomore, with 25 points each in three games. Peggy Shelly, junior, came in second with 14 points, while Phylis Hoke, sophomore, was third with 13 points. Alic e Pierce, Mildr ed Johnson, Jessie Gentry a nd Char lotte West posed on horse back for the Links photographer, "Wednesday, March 18. New badminton queen, third period, is Mary H elen Alexis, having defeated Barbara Schnase and Dorothy Peck to gain the title. J3ut for t he lack of tropical plants, snak es and r eptiles, the girls dressing room may be likened to a steaming Africa n jungleas far as humidity goes. What with the hair-driers going full bl ast from first p eriod through fift h, the temperature becomes rather uncomfortable. Too bad someone can't invent a way to turn<• them on and off each pe. riod. Girls, are you among the members of. the G . A. A .? If not, why not join now? Remember it's n ever too late t o start working for an emblem in some sport. Girls who win emblems prove not on ly their ability to excel in that particu lar sport bl}t also that they have initiative and the desire t o succeed. The next G. A. A . meeting is Maren 26.

Howard Smith Relates Attack

Fred Birkman, veteran of two qua rter mile ca mpaigns, cometed across the finish line third among a fast field in last year's stat e carnival w hich shattered rthe m eet standard, and ranks along side of H a rvey Stroud, the North Pla tte speedst er, as t he cream of this spring's 440 crop. Fred can turn in a speedy century or furlong if the occasion demands, but concentrates on the long·er dash.

Hank McWilliams, one of four returning letter men who broke into the point ledger in last year's stat e m eet, w ill finish high in the pack ever y time h e mounts his st ar t ing b lo cks to n egot iate the 880 rout e. W h en pitted again st a crack field in the state fest , he loped home in the fourth s lot and should finish high th is sea son, barring mishap.

Floating for 46 112 hours in the P acific, ex-Lincoln h igh student , Howard Smith, 21, r elates a subm arin e attack on a U nited States transport ship. A f t er surviving the m erciless Japanese attack on P earl Har bor, Howard was being transferred to the east coast when the tran sp ort was attacked. Without giving a warning t he sub pu t two dub to1·pedoes through the hull .of the ship and slunk a way as sneakingly as it bad come. T h e sailors and officers were forced to jump from the ill-fated craf t. Howard relat ed how he spent 46 1/z hor ri ble h ours before he caught sight of the only cha nce of rescue for his mates a nd h im self, a giant cruiser of Uncle Sam's navy which appeared on t he horizon. "Many things pass throug h your mind while you are floating in dark icy waters w aiting for death to g rasp you up," he said. Aboard t he cruiser the sa ilors were treated for shock and against pneumonia a nd exposure. Howard's transfer came two weeks after the "stab in t he back" attack and he is waiting at Norfolk, Virginia, to go onto one of th e n ewest cruisers, the U. S. S. Atlanta, an experiment ship which is a new t ype anti-afrcraft ship. While p a ssing throu gh Lincoln, Howard r emained fou r days with his f~ily. Howard quit Lincoln h igh in 1937, to join the U n ited for ces of the n avy. H e first attended the naval training s chool in Waukeeg an, Illinois, for s ix weeks t r aining p eriod. Howard h a s h ad many pleasant a nd many terrifying experiences in the navy. H e was s tationed at Pearl Harbor after he received h is training. Howard h as a brother, Gordon Smith, junior, wh o is n ow attending Lincoln h igh.

Net, Linlis llldM M Lincoln Nine Is Squad Have · 11i'~r011rr11f1i Studded With RosyOutlooli Promising New Blood Helps Hoping to uphold t he state championship pace s~t earlier in the year by their football, basketb.a ll and swimming brethern, Lin coln high's tennis and golf s quads, their ranks r id dled by g raduat ion, will soon barge into a campaign that promises much brighter p ickings than the m eager spoils that were gleaned from last year 's efforts. The two outfits will be u nder the tutelage of a n ew m entor, Marvyn Francis, who steps into the shoes vacated by Harry Kuklin. The Links fell back on its doubles t eam for all of last year' s net titles. The tandem of Don M cArthur and Morris Coff su rvived to the final round of the s tate tourney before being thumped in straight sets by Omaha Central's Bob Fomk in and Allen Granfield. A week later- McArthur teamed with Bob Buxton to snare the L inks only Missouri Valley crown. · Meanwhile the golfers swatted out a 252 ag·gr eg ate in the state prep links compet and were for ced to settle for a t hird place s talemate wit h Columbus out of a 10 t eam field. Both Coft' and Buxton h ave been lost to t h e netsters via the gradu ation r oute, but McArthur will return and should be set fo -1 a fine season. Chick Rawson, a squadman. w iJJ also be back. A real boost in stock com es from a pair of first year men, Phil Oxley and B ob Kleinart, who finished onetwo in last year's city boys' fest ival. Sophomore H arry Meginnis, diminutive swimming letter m an, a lready has accumulated a len gthy string of golf la urels and will be a valuable a sset to t h at team. Last su mmer Meg innis captured the boy's city crown, then shot sensational golt to qua lify for second flight play in the state links hostilit~es . Burt F olsom a nd :o'on P egler, a m ong others, h elp make the outlook cheery.

Work, Faith and Discipline l(eynote of Talk On Youth's Responsibilities-H. C. Mardis American youth will have. to learn the meaning of work, discipline and faith was the message given to the two assembly group9 Tuesday by H. C. 1 Mardis who brqught. a story of vita:i importance after hearing Robert Kazmayor, world traveler, in Chicago recently. :Mr. Mardis gave some questions on how we might apply these principles here. His speech was in part: Hitler Youth say American Youth are soft, without respect for work, for discipline, for patriotism or for sacrifice. To them believing in something · big, and training, working and fighting :for that something ''makes sense.'' When American youth puts away its playthings and learns how to work, how to fight, and when it believes sufficiently in that for which we must fight, we will not then fear the outcome. The Army, the Navy, industry, all are calling for young people who know how to work, who have the. physical stamina to operate in .an assembly line. for eight hours without any slow-downs, who have the basic science and math to learn rapidly how to make, as well as how to operate the complicated machinery of modern war.

A f t e r suspending rehearsals during spring ~acation, the cast of the junior · play went back to their make•up and lines to start · production - once again on the.. comedy play, "June Mad," which is to be presented April 24 under the ·direction of Mrs. Winifred Ayers. Committees who help in the production are as follows: P rop· erty committee, · Harriet Eyden, Dorothy Reilly and Peggy Mertz; assembly committee, Shirley Bacon, Shirley Staats, Bob Blu~, D.on ,Kaar, Ed~ai;d Smith and Hobart Hayes;· advertising committee, Bill Dickson and Alma Telecky; make-up committee, Doris McHenry, Rose Mary Cook, Chris-· tine Deines, Shirley Bacon and Joyce Stuve; decoration committee, Mildred Johnson, Erma Tyrrell, Joan Overman, Helen Boeh• mer, Christine Deines a nd Bettie Tobin; sound effect cwnmittee and stage manager, Bob Blum. Among the trials and tribulations of the cast rehearsal have been that one time Gretchen Burnham's voice disappeared and whUe she mechanically went through her speech, the voice of Marjorie Dillman, who is the student direc- · tor, came from off stage making the effect very weird. · Bill Rotton was sent down to the cafeteria one night to get ice cream cones for a certain scene, but by mistake he purchased ice cream bars and when the time came to use them t he bars were floating around in the actors' and actresses' hands. In one scene LeRoy Baughn (all six feet of him) is called to lie down on a couch made up of ~ive chairs. On ·this particular night he happened to move while lying d o w n and immediately jumped up with a ·painful yell, because the chairs decided to move in. Bir thday greetings were sung to Gretchen Burnham at one re· hear3a! hccau~e of the leading lady's becoming sweet sixteen.

·Spring Clean-Up Drive ~o Begin April 17 Spring Gleaning begins in ear nest on the Lincoln high campus Friday. The . clean-up committee, consisting of Frank Andefson, .Jean Bogan, John Hiltner, Walden Lauer, Moyne Miller and Eugene Roland, succeeded in collecting about 150 old broom .sticks which have been spiked on the ends by the custodians. Labels designating the home room in charge will be placed on .each plot on the campus for the sake of identification. Four or five students from each hoine room, under supervision of their representative, will be in charge of their plot. If any of t hese have a study period during the day and wish to work on their plots, they will be allowed to do so. The supply room will be located on first floor, opposite room 116, with the home r oom represerltatives and alternates in charge throughout t he day.

Margaret Davis To Retire, Having Served Lincoln Schools 36 ¥ears sponsor for the classes of 1913 and 1924, president of the Lincoln Teachers' association, Girl Reserves sponsor at the beginning of the club, representative of Lincoln h igh on the teachers' council and Nebraska History Teachers' association. Mrs. Grace Hyatt, head of the social studies department, says, 'The decision of Miss Davis to give up her career of teaching will leave the social science department minus one of the parts of its mechanism which has helped make that0 group one happy family. Aside 'from her a bility as a teacher-even the most refractory students exclaim, "Doer she know her stuff"-Miss Davis is a grand friend, She can always find time in the hurry of achoo~. life to do the pleasant thing. She guided Miss Snyder to h er first lunch in ,the cafeteria 12 years ago and has continued to pilot her to that spot ever since. For a long time she has been responsible for Miss Piper 's arriving at school in the morning and r eturning safely to her home a t night. All of us have sat around her table many times .and eaten her out of house a nd home. "She may think she is stepping out of her responsibility toward us by becoming a lady of leisure but she wili find out something quite different-she can't lose ua.'~

Spreading of Idle Rumors Boosts Enemy to Victory "Ten more ships were sunk yesterday I heard," "A lot more of our ~oldiers are being sent east" and "This is what someone told me." 'l'hese are some examples of what is heahl every day. They may seem harmless enough, but in the present crisis everyone should learn not to spread rumors and false gossip. It is a natural American instinct of wartime to want to know the ''inside information." J ohmty Jones craves to know >vhat tlrn mysterious information is that is going around the school. In almost all the cases ''inside information" turns out to be wrong and the origin is unknown. Propaganda was put out saying that an airplane could drop enough deadly toxins to destroy the entire population of a city. It was dreaded by so many people that the United States army medical officers have made studies of the possibilities of bacterial combat. They found that using bacteria in warfare was 98 per cent fantasy. This is another example of rumor that turned out wrong. After the Greeks failed to break the Trojan resistance after ten years of siege, they hauled a great wooden horse inside the walls. During the night the hidden Greeks opened the city walls for their comrades and achieved the conquest of .Troy. I<'alse rumor is a modern Trojan horse. "Seal your lips and protect our ships." •rhis is the slogan of the n avy mothers. As pupils in high school everyone should learn to prevent the spread of false rumors. This not only will be helping the individual and his friends, but his country ns a whole. Rumors are silly and freedom of speech doesn't mean careless talk !

Custodians Stage Usual Spring House Cleaning Glistening window panes, shining desks, waxed floors, and a general appearance of reconditioning greeted Lincoln high students when they returned to school following spring vacation. The cleaning staff went to work and the reslllt is one of which they might well be proud. _ ''Our goal dming vacation was to wash all windows inside and out, to dust and clean classrooms, remove waste paper, replace broken furniture, and wax all floors which need it,' ' stateQ. Ed win Geistlinger, head custodian. The staff includes 19 men in all, t he head custodian, custodian, and assistants vvho attend to cleaning, waxing, and minor heating and plumbing· problems. They worked eight hours a day for five days and also worked onehalf day on Saturday. Besides ·the interior, the campus of Lincoln high will also take on new beauty, since all home room representatives are continuing the precedent begun last spring by following a program which will keep the campus free of dandelions, weeds and waste paper. Each home room that desires to take part, will have a d r; signatcd plot of lan d ·which 1vill be that home room 's .responsibility during the rest of the semester. Five of six students from each honie room, who are selected and approved by the home room representative and home room teacher, will be allowed to work on the land during home room periods and off-as::>embly periods.

Short Bobbed Hair 1s in Style A.gain Have you noticed the new style of hair dress of many girls lately? The new short bob is quite the rage and considering that girls may have to go without hair pins, they are liable to end with a mild fuzz cut. After viewing pictures of the girls of yester y"\:ars with their short bobs, it was probably thought it couldn't happen again, but here more of the girls are about to fall into the clutches of the barber and have all of their long, uncut for years, hair shorn. The girls shouldn't cry, it will grow back again. Incidentally, some of the hair cuts seen on boys aren't exactly art.

Sophomore Return& From West Coast "I think I learned more out there than I ..Vould have in three weeks of school here," was the opinion of Arnold Austin, sophomore, who returned Saturday, March 21, from a three weeks trip to California, Among the defense industries he saw were the Douglas bomber plant and the Willmington shipyards. "Here in the middle west, we don't realize how close the war really is. The camouflaged antiaircr;aft guns along the coast make it very clear that the war isn't very far away," he revealed. Arnold saw where the submarine shelled the co;:ist at Santa Barbara. He saw more than just war industries, too. He enjoyed .the famed Chinese theater in Hollywood where the movie stars have made imprints in the cement and Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco bay. ' Arnold attended Campbell high school in .

Between The Covers During present conditio11s, h igh school pupils may wonder how they may do their part for nationatl defense; Besides buying all the w ar bonds and stamps poss ible, there are many things one can do toward keeping well informed. A wel! rounded knowledge of current war topics, new scientific discoveries, and other such things grows increasingly valuable as tim e goes on. The best way to keep well informed is to read, but it is important to be certain of reading reliable sources, and accepting only ·information one can be $Uie is true. False information, rumors and propaganda can _b e dertructive when spread. Many magazines may be found in the high school library on current topics, such as-.the following: current History Time News Week United States News American Observe r Vital Speeches The local newspaper, New York Times and the Christian Science Monitor are newspapers that may also be found in the library for reading to keep abreast of the times. The following magazines 'offer modern scientific kt10wledge: Scientific American S_c ience Digest Popular Scie11ce Popular Mechanics Aviation Radio News Make use of the Reader's Guide and the lists on the bulletin board in the library to look up specific topics which may be f ound in various periodicals. Of course, a n ation must first look to its health. Such reading may be found in Hygeia and Health. Learn to defend the health of your body first, and then you will be prepared to look to the defense of your country.

Book Ideas Due Today Today, April 15, is the last day suggestions for magazines and books may be turned in to the library to be considered for the next book order to keep the library up .to date. Requisitions should include suggeetions for changes in periodicals, material on topics on which the library has been found inadequate, references .not found in the library, or any books desirable to have in the library.

Locker Opens And Girl Finds Tyrone Poiver Interior decoration seems to be the hobby of many Lincoln high girls. Lockers instead of houses, however, are the objects of t h eir labors. A student shouldn't be surprised if he comes upon a girl busily sn ipping away in a movie magazine a nd putt ing the pictures of handsome m ovie idols on the inside of her locker door. Tyrone Power, Clark Gable, and Robert T aylor seem to rate tops in the ;:ielection of pictures. · "You would be surprised," say the girls, "at the lift it.gives your whole day, to open your locker in the morning and see one of these handsome men beamin9 down on you." Scotch tape, instead of paste or glue, should be used, so that these pictures may be removed easily withou t harming the appearance of either the picture or the locker. Beside pictures, mirrors and many other ingenious contraptions have their place in many lockers.

Age Limit Raised For Trips To Capitol· Tower Many students of sixteen years and over have found that the privilege of going to the tower of the state capito1 has been denied them until' t hey are twenty-one. Formerly students could not visit the tower until they were sixteen, but now, . because a few have defaced the walls with . lipstick, pencil or crayon, and because the leather se~~ pads have been slashed, the age limit has been raised t o twenty-one. "A few have taken the privilege away from the rest, · just because it doesn't belong to them, and they don't have to pay for it . . ." was the angry statement of one elevator girl, who has had to argue with persistent boys and girls under twenty-one. But they. do have to pay for it. Perhaps not directly, but their parents must pay taxes to buy acid to wash t he walls. If the parents• money goes for taxes, they can't give it to their "children," which is just what. the students are, who purposely deface public property. Fools names and fools faces are always found in public places."

Open Forum To the Editor: Why doesn't Lincoln high have its matinee programs and dances in the ~vening as Northeast does? It would accommoda~e the athletic members who have to work out after school. It would a lso be an accommodation to the pupils who have to practice for plays for the entertainment of the student body and those who have to work after school who would like to enjoy these school activities with their classmates. Other pupils have to hurry home to an early meal or t o help prepare them. I sincerely believe that _the question of chaperons could be solved by appealing to the teachers of Lincoln high. There are many teachers who would be happy to see the · pupils and to share their. evenings with them, which would bring the teacher and pupil to a better spirit of co-operation. The problems of custodian aid could be furnished by the school's connection with the N. Y. A. Although we are supposed to conserve on lights, it would bolster the morale which everyone striving toward in these crucial days. There are m ore persons who would come that don't attend now because of the time of day. Eddie Smi~. Dear Editor: Last SE;mester, during the lunch period, room 326 was opened for dancing. It was used· for about 15 minutes every day and while most pupils enjoyed t he dancing, others liked to listen to their favorite tunes. During the seme~ter the room was closed and the dancing was stopped because the room was not left in proper order for fourth period. Couldn 't 326 be opened for dancing again'? Perhaps a senior would take charge and help keep the room in order. I noticed last se· mester that the pupils who didn't dan~e were the ones who didn't take proper care of the room while the ones who did dance were not destructive. If necessary, just the . dancers could be . admitted into the room. Mary Rumbolz.

Girl Reserves .Hear Speaker Recreation Essential For Physical Fitness States Mrs. Harrison Following the physical theme at the second of the series of meetings on spiritual, physical, mental and social phases of life, Mrs. Robert Harrison, state Y.W.C.A. sectetary, spoke to the Girl Reserves, April 6, on the need of physical well-being and recreation , in the present crisis. . "We're going to have all our food needs emphasized in the present. emergency, but we should not neglect our recreation from the standpoint of health," Mrs. Harrison stated. Group games not only help to · develop physical fitness, but also a.id in establishing fine social and mental habits, Mrs. Harrison believes. "The present emphasis on folk dancing and square dancing will tend to lessen the trend to 'spectatoritis' in which we all watch others play instead of joining in, ourselves," declared Mrs. Harrison. Stressing mental recreation also, Mrs. Harrison suggested recreational dramatics and music for mental activity. "We can' t overlook the imporlance of mentai recreation in the present emergen.c y to release us from this feeling of tenseness which makes us less efficient, less able to meet changing conditions," Mrs. Harrison asserted. The speaker was preceded by a program which consisted of a short article on health read by Bonnie Ricky and the piano selections "Polonaise" by Chopin and "The Eagle" by McDowell played by Peggy Shelley.

Teacher Rides Bike To And From School Miss Dolores Young, home economics instructor, recently purchased the last Engl ish bicycle to be found in Lincoln, and is the first woman teacher to ride a bicycle to school. Since the sale of bicycles has been frozen, she has received offers for sale of her bicycle at a large profit. The Engl ish bicycle is favored over the balloon~tire bike because of its lightness wh ich makes the pumping much easier. The tires carry around sixty pounds of air while balloon tires hold about twentytwo to twenty-three pounds. An air-pump i~ attached right onto the bicycle as the tires must be checked each day. Shortage of rubber has brought about the fad of riding bicycles everywhere, to work, to parties, to school and even on "dates .'"'

·.'Earn W1iile You Learn' ls Distributive Occupational Students' Byword in L. H. S. "Earn while you learn" is the . motto of the distributive occupation students of the retail s ales classes. The comparatively new training course provides part time positions in the retail field as well as class work. Students receive two full years of this course, in eleventh grade salesmanship for one semester, and textiles, nontextiles and job hygiene classes are taken next semester. The twelfth g raders take salesmanship, merchandise mathematics, merchandise information and display besides the regular "academic" subjects. In the twelfth grade, the students go to school from 8 :20 to 12:00 and in the afternoons as well as Saturdays they work in retaii jobs downtown . According to the interviews of eleven pupils from this department, the greatest value of this course is the development of personality and the ability to meet and get along with people. Charles Murphy of home room 140 says that this course in h is estimation is the greatest opportunity for high school students. Charles works a t a local depart-

ment store selling first floor articles. He wants to make buying for some large department store his life job. At present he is an assistant for one of the buyers at that store. "Woz:king in the. receiving room at a clothing store is a great deal of fun as well as work," according to F1orence Schmidt of h ome room 318.

20th Century Gold Rush Brings Fame-Not Fortune Again t.he time has come for the annual gold rush. This gold rush is not for nuggets, but for dandelions. Every year these little pests show their pretty heads above the ground and are repulsed in the same way. · Many students are already at work on the campus and are doing a grand job of making it· more presentable. Even more pupils are planning to help and are doing· their part by not throwing things about and by picking up waste paper. Another phase of the clean-up campaign is that of the interior of the building. Now, especially, the school should be kept in its best condition for several reasons. One is becai1se in the spring many visitors come to Lincoln high. Although the idea is not just to "put on company manners" it is always best to put the best foot forward. Then, too, with everyone conserving ma' terial; it is the job of Lincoln high school students to take good care of their building. When anything is demolished or defaced, now .it will be impossible to replace them. Wastefulness is a bad habit that must leave Lincoln high. Wastefulness of paper, rubber, wood and other materials is not only disloyal to the school, but also unpatriotic to America. Everyone wants the building and the campus as well to be cclean and fresh looking. Why not be careful, put things in their places, dig dandelions and do all those things that will make the school as fine a sight as it is a school?

·.History Repeats Itself; Plant Again for Victory Plant for deferise ! Plant! Plant! We Nebraskans are especially proud to plant trees and celebrate Arbor day because it was originated by a Nebraskan in Nebraska. J. Sterling Morton was the first to succeed in inducing Nebraska; then an almost treeless state, to set .aside a regulaT day for the purpose ()f setting out young trees. The first Arbor day was in 1872 when Morton was commissioner of agriculture and on that day more than a million saplings were set out. This day was the result of many years of work. The movement was first started in colonial period when (he foresighted citizens of Vermont and . New Hampshire found it necessary to check the cutting of trees. All civilized governments have looked toward their woodlands for a supply of timber for the constructing of ships. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the United States bought tracts of wooded areas and authorized the president to make plans for preserving them in order to prevent the rapid and reckless destruction of our forests. These timberlands are now na.tional forests. · · Obviously because of . growing seasons, Ar'Qor day cannot be celebrated on the same day in all' states as Nebraska who celebrates .t he day on April 22 in memory of J. Sterling 'Morton 'i; birthday . 'Vest Virginia even celebrates twice a year, once in the fall and again in the spring. . Two years ago a heavy and severe frost hit Lincoln which killed many of its larg·est trees and apple · orchards. Shouldn't this be the year to replace all dead trees with twice . ·a s many yoiing saplings 1

In Other Sc.h oofs A startling headline appeared in the Evanstonian, school paper of Evanston Township high school, Illinois, saying, "WILL REGISTER ALL BOYS TODAY." A subhead reported a request for 1,000 junior air raid wardens by the Ci, vilian Defense council of Evanston. The boys will fill out a questionnaire · calling for name, age, location of home, and interest or non-interest in serving as a warden. Although registration is required, service is voluntary.. The powdered and light-footed members of the boys' glee club at · Marshall high school, Chicago, are giving the operetta, "The Slip of a Slipper." The story is evidently taken from that of the fairy tale; "Cinderella," as it involves the unhappy life of a young girl that is plagued by a stepmother and two sisters and .is rescued by a philanthropist fairy godmother. The Cue club of Peoria high . school, Peoria, Illinois, is sponsor• ing a play-writing contest in which any member of the student body may participate. They want a one-act piay suitable for Cue club presentation for which a prize of five ·dollars will be given. The Thalian dramatic club of Withrow high school, Cincinnati, Ohio, is presenting the comedy, "George Washington Slept Here," a play recently presented at the Temple theater by the University Players. In a drive for scr~p metal license plates, Janice .Bruekl_ler of Wa:;ihington high school, Milwaukee, Wis., has outshone all other donaters by. turning in a total of 480 license plates. An estimated total of 8,000 is expected at the end of the drive. Technical high school of Omaha has new classes in civilian defense. The first aid classes are open to· adults, senior boys and girls. At the present time, 400 students are taking the course. Home nursing is also being taught to 200 girls. The courses are expected to last nine weeks at the end of Which t ime certificates will be given to all those who pass the examinations; For their spring operetta this year, Irving junior high school is presenting, " J3low Me Down," a piratical absurdity in two acts. Playing the leading roles are Walter Weber and Nancy Pierson while the musical anq dramatic direction is under Miss Ruth Haberly and Miss Fern Hubbard, respectively. The operetta will be given Friday, May 15. Games, dancing and a floor show comprised the evening at the "N" club carnival at Northeast high school April 17. It was an all school party ' which was heli:I in the gymna:sinms. Carnival atmosphere was created with crepe paper and balloons as decorations and a fortune teller, fishpond, dart game and penny pitching as entertainment. The floor show followed the carnival, which started at 7:30, and dancing to a tiickeiodian concluded the program at 11:00.

Saint Elizabeth Hospital's Blood Ban~ . Explained By Pat!iologist, Dr. Blum "St. Elizabeth hospital's blood bank is used locally for any other hospital in .Lincoln, or for any doctor that Wishes to use this bank for a supply," stated Dr. Henry Bltim, pathologist and roentgenlogist at the ho~)ital. The bank was started in January, 1941, and so fa' approximately 300 donors have contributed their blood. When the war emergency arose, St. Elizabeth volunteered to supply blood plasma for civilian defense, which is headed by Dr. A. L. Miller for the state of Nebraska. Under Dr. Miller's supervision the, plasma is · distributed to various defense and railroad centers, where it will most likely be needed in emergency measures. Dr. Blum also added, "The general uses in war emergencies a.re for any condition where . the ·volume .of circulating blood has to be increased to obviate disastrous results. This .is the result of iiisufficient amount of blood · caused from excessive hemorrhage, shock, or extensive burns." In healthy individuals engaged in military or defense activities these . are the most common inI juries. Plasma is the liquid part of blood and after it has been ceritbfuged at 18,000 revolutions per minute the cells are thrown down in a compact mass. The plasma . then contains everything originally in the blood streams except the cells. The blood is :~trifuged

Pupils Instructed In Use of Flag Proper use of our United States flag is being brought home to the minds of Lincoln high pUpils by means of pamphlets \}'hich have been given to all home room teachers. The teachers have different ways of putting these facts before their students. Miss Mary F. Jackson writes three different rules on the blackboard each day. Miss Emma Beek• mann has read the whole pam· phlet to her room, and given them the test · questions already. Miss Margaret Proctor keeps the pam· phlet on her desk, and every student is expected to read it · s,ometime in the near future. Some teachers are passing the . pa_mphlet around each day and asking the studen'1:.s to read a page a day. Others are taliing equally effective measures. I

Kaiulani Mattson, H ai.vaiian Born, Here For Duration of Pacific Warfare Kaiulani Mattson, Hawaiian born, has recently moved to Lincoln and is attending Lincoln high. Kaiulani, better known to her friends as 'Ki," before coming here, attended Punahou school, which was a private school in Honolulu. Although ·its campus was much larger, and consisted of .several buildings, it had a smaller enrollment. Just · recently however, "Ki" explained, the campus had been taken over by U. S. engineers so that the classes were moved up to the university. At Punahou, chapel was held every Wednesday, while on Mondays, assemblies, comparable to ours, were held . "When the w ar broke o._ut, a bomb missed our house by two

blocks, but my father was right in the. midst of action," said "Ki." She then went on to explain that her father is a senior lieutenant in the navy and her mother is a nurse in Hawaii. Therefore she will not be able to see them until after the war. When asked if .the Hawaiian language is still used there, she replied that it 'is almost extinct, and therefore she cannot speak it fluently, but knows only a few words of it. "I can hardly wait for the cold season, and snow, as I've only seen it in the movies," she added with grea t enthusiasm. Kaiulani is residing here in Lincoln with two cousins, Betty and Kathryn Bonde.

One can tell by the title of "Seven Seas on a Shoestring" that it is a . good book. It is written by Dwight Long and is .a story of travel and adventure. Mr. Long tells of his four 'year · rou,n d-theworld cruising trip in :a tiny boat. He left on his trip in 1934 from Seattle in a 32 foot ketch, traveling with a one·man crew and a dog as a ma.scot. Mr. Long · also tells of the Tahitian boy, Timi, who becomes his companion. The book ·: is filled with drama and : adventure. It · you have a drop of salt iri your veins ,or a taste for travelin·g the seas, you will enjoy reading this book. Another book of sea adventures is "Northern Lights" by Desmond · Holdridge. Mr. Holdridge became a sea-going man in his early youth and has made several trips and voyages to many parts of the world, such as Greenland, Hudson Strait, Labrador and South America. "Northern Lights" deals with. voyages . along Nova Scotia, New" foundland and Labrador, and is also rec9mme~ded to · those who love the sea. Both of these books may be found in the high school library.

Chicken Dinner Is Served In Physiology Class "We had chicken sandwiches in physiology class today." Sounds funny doesn't it? ;But this is exactly what students in Miss Helene Schemel's second period were saying April 10. Three · tndustrious girls, Janet Bergquist, Jean Carter and Shirley David, decided that a new chicken skeleton was needed in the science department, the old ones having dried out during the past few summers. So in the interests of science,.. and incidentally their stomachs, the girls got a six pound rooster and Jean's mother boiled it for them. The girls then cleaned the bones and boiled them in boric acid to. bleach them:. A big chicken was used because it is easier to put the bcnes together. Janet, Jean and Shirley then made sandwiche.s for the class from the meat. There were one and one-half chicken sandwiches for every member of the class.

Miss Elsie Rokahr spoke on her trip through the Canadian Rockies and Alaska to the travel club, Monday, April 13. While in Washington state, Miss Rokahr visited Ranier National park. She said that the road. up to Mount Ranier was very beautiful, lined with m:any forests and very high trees, also a few lakes. "It is the . most beautiful spot you can imagine," said Miss Rokahr of a view of the mountain, with at its foot, Fairy Pool, and beyond a pool which gave the re;flection of Mount Ranier. Miss r.okahr went to Alaska by boat and train from Seattle, up along the Inland Passage to Skagway and Sitka. Sitka was the capital of Alaska when Russia owned it, and Miss Rokahr thought of it as one of the most interesting towns in Alaska. Speaking of the Inland Passage, Miss Rokahr said that the trip was mainly for the scenery, and that one was never out of sight of land. She explained that almost all the towns in Alaska are at the foot uf motmtains. While in Alaska, she was interested in the curio shops, where many ivory .articles can be bought.

Dean Charged With Defeat

Jacob, 1\faser Flip 2-Hitter

Although they drove Southpaw Dworak from the box with a three run outburst in the fourth inning, Lincoln dropped a 6 t(> 5 decision to Omaha South Fridav when Relief Hurler Tommy Smith stopped them cold in the final two frames. The Packers squeezed over their winning tally in the seventh. Bob Redden opened the inning by drawing a walk and Coach Lyle Weyand immediately lifted Johnny Dean for Harold Jacob. Redden made a clean theft of second and advanced to thir<i as Alian grounded out. Then, after Jacob had tagged Novak with a pitched ball, Redden scooted across the plate as catcher Rog O'Dom;e!l muffed the pitch on an attempted double steal. Jacob whiffed the next two batters but by that time the damage was done. The loss was Lincoln's first in two starts and marked their first home appearance ·of the young campaign. After two scoreless innings, South opened the scoring in the third when it clipped Dean for two runs. Dworak walked and raced across the plate on Gomez' triple. Later Gomez tallied when R edden dropped a double down the right field line. With one down in the fourth, Dean issued a pass to Bob Anderlik and Redden doubled him home to make it 3-0, but Lincoln wiped this out in its half of the inning. Morris Gaiter's walk, sandwiched between O'Donnell's single and Allen Bloom's two- bager, accounted for the first marker. Bobby Rubino then sliced a double into ieft field to chase over• two more t a llies t o knot the count.

The other two Red and Black runs came in the next inning: Dean and Bob Jacobsen singled in succession, · both advanced on a passed ball and scored when Gaiter caromed a hit oft · Redden's glove. South came back in the sixth to tie it again wher, Anderlik doubled to drive in Rich Di Bielka, who had singled and stolen second, then. scored himself when Gomez drilled a hit into center field.

THE ADVOCATE

Cooperation of Students Needed for Democracy '.At the present time democracy is being stressed more than ever before. Everyone is being asked to sacrifice, not be wasteful and many other things to preserve our democraey. In school too, . a democrati.c govemment is iml>ortant. This is being developed more and more every year. ' The student council is the main govern· fog body at Lincoln high. This group is chosen from the members of the school and thus can Lead the other students more aptly. Last spring a new system was initiated for the ·election of student council members. This system allows more students to run for the council. The first step is for· every pupil, who wishes, to secure a petition and have it signed by at least 100 fellow students. 'l'his is then returned to the present student council and a primary election follows. A certain number of candidates are elected from these and are voted on at a final election. 'l'his is one of the most democratic movements yet to be introduced to Lincoln high school. If the students of this school intend to retain their democracy, they must cooperate, with its progressive moves. Last year this system was very successful. '!'here is no reason it not to succeed again this year. It is such a great opportunity for every student that it should not be passed up. 'l'hose students who realize this and take advantage of it are not. only doing themselves a great favor, but are also helping to preserve democracy at Lincoln high school.

Food Wasted Here Could Keep Many From Starving If some girls are bothered each night by

the problem of putting their hair up for better J.'.esults the next day, they should remember that in olden times, bread crusts were believed to make hair curl. In the cafeteria each day, besides bread crusts, many foods are wasted by pupils. The less well fed students in many countries would appreciate having an equivalent of all the good food thrown away by pupils for some reason each day in the cafeteria. When the United States is going all out for war, a seemingly trivial thing like this, the saving of foods, is in its own small way important. Students don't need to buy foods they, don't intend to eat, thereby wasting . money also, nor do they have to throw away a sandwich or cookie. Most normal boys and girls are "starved'' after school and the saved sandwiche~ will fill in very conveniently. 'l'he army expects every man in the service to take what he needs and wants but never to leave any food on his plate. Can't we do as 'm uch 1 How about a "clean plate" policy at school and at home?

Americanism is an honor that should be worked for. To be a citizen of this country is one of the greatest honors that can be bestowed upon a person, and every year more and more people are being naturalized. Naturalized citizens are proud of the honor which they have acomplished and they, as well as American born citizens, are pro'ud of what they are. What Americanism means to the American people is something that cannot be expressed in words but in loyalty to their country. To her people America has given everything. From the day they are born to the day they die, they are taken care of and protected by the American forces ; therefore it is their duty to keep America as safe and cultured as it can be. The world today is going through a crisis and it is up to the youth of this country to see that America comes through safely and victoriously, and to keep hatred, misunderstanding and intoleran~e out of its thinking. Americans have the privilege of attendin"' public schools, a constitution to live unde1~ and laws to follow, which will make Ameri c~ the country they want it to be. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of press and assembly give them these rights so that they may use their knowledg·e and pass it on to other citizens of the United States that t hey also may learn of Americanism and its importance.

Ross Brehm, Junior ls Member of Band Ross Brehm, junior, is now playing with Dave Haun's orchestra. He masters the set of "white pearl" drums with great skill. He has never had a lesson in his life but as he puts it, "He just picked it up." Opportunity came to Ross when his cousin, who had previously been in the orchestra, left for California. Ross jumped at the chance to fill the vacancy and was accepted. Boyd Brewster and Bill Michell, both students of Lincoln high school, are also with the orchestra. They both ..play tenor saxophones. Boyd has been with the orchestra about one year, but Bill joined recently. Ross has been with the orchestra six months. All three boys are members of the Lincoln Musicians' asso· ciation. Ross enjoys his work very much but the only hardship is trying to play well after traveling 10·0 mi les for a certain en, gagement. They get there just in time to get into their tuxedos and set up their instruments.

"Who ls the Queen of The May?" That Is The Springti"te Question "Who is the Queen of May m other? Who is the Queen of the May?

You may have thought that this day was just a day for tiny tots who love t o hang b askets overhanging with lilacs on their bes t girl's door.

Mother Hubbard Finds Cupboard ls Not So Siveet " Rice-fifteen cents a pound? Why it wasn't so very long ago I only paid nine cents a pound." Yes, conver sation such as this is heard in many a grocery store as prices .climb upward. Tongues clack and housewives shake their h eads in utter despair. But never mind, housewives faced that same 'muddle-budget' problem in t he last World war and survived. That's what wa r is ! It's interest ing to note some Of t he j umps in food -prices. N avy b eans and soap have both skyr ocketed while a second government tax will soon be placed on matches. Cured hams have r aised from fourteen to fifteen cents a pound in r ecent months. Because of the amount of sugar used in Coca-C<'.lla, it will be rationed t o the wholesalers and retailers. Certain candy bars are becoming extinct and it is now impossible for t he retailer to sell either P urex or Clorox without a government permit. The price of bananas, a lso has risen and soon they may not even appear on mark et. Canned goods w ill soon appear " only in glass jars, and there is t o be no more pork and beans canned for t he duration. After present supplies of cinnamon, there will be no more available, so if your "favorite dish" is cinnamon rolls-too bad!

That Talk About Spring Fever Is Back Again "In the spring a young man's fancy turns to" -well, a great many things. Often a great many very strange things. Spring not only brings new sports such as baseball, but a lso that inevitable plague commonly known a s "spring f ever." Spring fever is caused by t he a ctual a r riva l of spring-you k now, balmy days while students are imprisoned in classr ooms. The story :isually goes something like this: The time is anytime after lunch, usualiy fifth period. John ny is slumped in h is seat near the window of h is Latin class. Strains of "Gallia est omnis divisa-" float 'round his nodding head. As Johnny gazes dreamily out the window, he sees that the grass is turning green, the birds a re twitt ering and dipping lazily through t he still blue sky, and t he sun is shining warmly a nd t he general atmosphere is that of laziness, but there is something else-he gets that certain feeling a nd Bingo!-Johnny h as sp ring fever. No one needs to be a doctor to diagnose a case of spring fever. 'l'he common symptoms are: 1 . A dreamy look in the victim's eyes. 2 . Complete disappearance of a ll cares and worries. 3 . Deep sighs. 4. Extreme forgetfulness (especially of school work). 5 . Lack of ambition. 6. The general u rge to lie down somewhere-anywhere. So, if you have many of these symptoms it is necessary that you worry or rush for the nearest M. D. You really haven't a serious disease, it's j ust "the p u rple plague" and there really isn't a t hing you can do about it. The only prescription is: Just wait.

28 and lasted until May 3. Also the Celts had the holiday. But it was more connected with sun worship t han of tulips, narcissus and crocuses. From Ch oucer we learn t h at in Engla nd during the m iddle ages it was customary for all classes, both high and low-even the cou rt itself-to go to into , the woods on the first of May "to fet ch the flowers fresh." The people d ecorated their h omes with hawthorne branches which were brough home a t su ndown , and which came to be the "bringing home of the May."

Noted Authority Gives Views on Diggers BY A DIGGER. Diggers can be divided into two groups, t he diggers at school and the diggers at home. At school you can get off some pretty dirty digs-but enough of that. The ones around school consist of all the girls coming in slacks and with big 'knives and the boys just coming in clothes and with little knives. Well, always willing to do a nyth ing to get out of school , you sign up a nd are immediately d rafted to the front. You go outside and there is your half-acre blan ket in g t he g round. You've, of course, forgotte n to bring a kn ife, so you reach in your pocket and find, among an assortment of various and sundry things, a pen knife . "Well," you groan inwardly to yourse.l f, " here goes"-and you ai n't kiddin'! You industriously tackle a monstrous lion and beg in to hack away. My, my, what a big root-but that's hard · to c ut-well, well, you 've been cutting away at yo ur shoe. This puts you in a rare humor so you begin at another. You are greatly discouraged by the size of your weapon so you shyly approach the girl next to you (who has a m uc h bigger knife ) and w hisper sweet nothings in her ear, and broach the subject of chang ing kni ves, pointing out the advantages of a little knife and pre· sently she accepts. Ah, ha, t he first step is achieved. You commence to cut again and find that it's much more interesting to watch the feeble attempt of some g irl in slacks to cut up a dande lion. Of course all the " glamour girls" are the first to volunteer and the la'!t to dig-,but that is bes ide the po int. About two yards away . a boy . snorts his derision, throws down his knife, and stalks away disgusted w ith the world. Ha! at last-a big knife -you seize a large lion ' and prepare to dismember it when a voice breaks upon your ears. "Come on, it's time to go inyou can clean up," says the t-1. R. Rep. " All rlghF' you snort and dejectedly throwing the few poor flowers into an old basket, drag yourself away - your knees creaking.

Veterinarian Has Opportunity As New Work Opens "This is not an en tirely mechanized war that w e are figh ting ," was the opinion of Dr. E. H . Meyer, assistan~ s t ate veterinarian. The R ussian army has more than a million horses. The German a rmy 'has ap proximately 960,000 horses and they used thousands in the drive into Frarice and P oland. Every Germa n infantry regiment has a scout ing platoon of 30 horsem en. The J aps have· 375,000 horses a nd the United States, 50,000. Hor ses can be used under any condit ions, such as rain or snow, in t he dark an d can swim r ivers w ith packs on their bac ks. Vet erinarians can be u sed in the army for m ore t han just keeping horses in good condition. They also inspect food of animal origin and serve as sanitarians. "During the war, the veterinarians at home hav e t he very im portant job of protecting the health of livestock, espl)cially food animals, because of the increased demand for food," Dr. Meyer added. After the war, veterinarians will t ake up the jobs as inspect ors .of impor ted and exported livestock, general disease control work, city, stat e or federal g overnment sanitarians and meat and milk Inspector s. "The veterinarian profession is the least cr owded of any profess ion a nd there is a good opportu n ity for a n ind us trious young man to g o into a p ractice tha t pays well, or a job with the federal government," he said. E duca tion consists of a one year preparatory course and four years in a veterinary college ending with the degree of doctor of veterinary medicine for the s uccessful s tudent. "Woman have a chance in this work a s well as m~n. They ca n handle sma ll a nimal practices, assist veterinarians or do resea rch work; which is ·a very wide field," he said. · "The veterinary depar t ment has the most trouble with hog cholera, which cause;:; the greatest Joss.

Artists Hear Mrs. Conl{ling History of Coats Of Arms Traced Into Past Mrs. Ronfi.ld Conkling brought some illustvations and talked on Coats of Arms at art club meeting Thursday, April 23. · '.'Heraldy is something new as tomorrow, and old as the eighth century," she claimed. Picture writing is back of a coat of arms. A family coat of arms tells the story of the family's prowess in battle, scholarship, and other things. Coats of arms were first started about · the year 818. "Every little thing on a coat of arms means something," she explained. " It all began with man's love of decoration. At first they were used as a means of identification in the dust of battle and tournaments." The colors used in coats of arms are gold, which means superiority; silver, peace; red, fortitude; blue, truth; green, happiness ; and black which was sometimes awarded to very old families. Some animal is usually used to represent the man's prowess, such as a deer for fleetness. Germany was the first country to use coats of arms. They were brought to England by William the Conqueror. When the coats of arms were first made, they were put in great books. These volumes were kept in large towers, but since the present war began, the books, along with other valuable

Spanish Class Students Bring Clothes And Souvenirs Of Peasant Mexico Souvenirs from Mexico, which were brought in by pupils from the Spanish classes, were shown along with a film on the native arts of old Mexico to G. Gilbert Roger's, Miss Elsie Rokahr's and Miss Marguerite Gundermann's classes, Tuesday, April 21. The souvenirs were exhibited first to give an idea of what was made in Mexico, and then the film explained in detail the method of making these different articles. Clay figures, which portray the peasant of Mexico, a blown glass bottle, pictures made of feathers, woven reed figures, different pieces of money, a plate inlaid with colorful straw, sliver bracelets, Wahaca glazed clay pottery, exquisite pottery vases and lace embroidery were some of the souvenirs brought in. A boy · was dressed in a sarape, which is a blanket with a slit in the middle for the head, a l:)elt and a son:brero to d emonstrate the costume worn by the Mexican peasants. A plain sarape is worn on week days, and a very bright colored one on Sunday. For reed figures, the reed is gathered i!Jto a flat bottomed boat by a man wading hip deep in a river and cutting the reed off articles, have been buried in some countries. At first only land owners could have a coat of arms. "Wealth was not the only reason a coat of arms was awarded to a man," Mrs .. Conkling said, "but achievement in some feat was often the reason for it being granted. If a family had a coat of arms, a person could be sure that the family was honorable because no dishonorable man could hold one." Lately some people have been ·able to claitn property or money thru a fa111ily coat of arms. In describing the coat of arms, Mrs. Conkling said that above the shield is a symbol of the person's standings such as a helmet. A crest was added as decoration only. B elow the shield is the family motto, unless it is a Scotch coat of arms, in which case the motto is above; and the shield is often tilted also.

"I just build 'em and turn 'em in. I don't know how many I've made," was the nonchalant answer to the query, "How many models have you built?" from the boy who ·has made the most airplane models, junior, Howard Alfrey. He made one plane in five days. Alfrey said that the first plane was hard, but the rest were easier. He has had no preparation for this work, has never built model planes before. Eech boy building the models has a number, and he puts his number on the finished plane before it is turned in. As far as he can remember, Alfrey has bui lt three Japanese models; one British model, with another already under construction; and one German plane model. "Most of them are of pursuit ships, but I've made one model of a large bomber," he explained.

Sally White, Leslie Metheny, Betty Ed Strain and B. J. Frankforter played leap year Saturday n!ght and took the boys. out. Great time was had by all and the boys, no doubt, sung-"Why Don't We Do This More Often." There must be a · steady bug in the air or this steady business is catching. Betty Jo LE:adley has even caught it this spring, for the first time, a:nd the lucky boy is Bob Hopkins. Also, I would say she is a very lucky girl. Since the static editor will not put a bout his steady deal in, I will-it is with no other . than Shirley King. Oh, it's a g reat lifeso they tell me. In last week's paper I said Ann Chapman and Stan Smith were seeing a lot of each other, but now they are going to see each other more than ever. Yes, they also are going steady. So now you'll know why Ann can't wipe that great big smile off. Don't forget about the big Senior Party this coming Friday night. We'll all have a rip snorting time. Be sure and be there! !!

The whole family helps in making of the basket s. Some of the strips are colored and make a design. Mollinillos are what we would call a· mixing device, and are made from hard wood. They are rounded and designed by a hand power lathe and then polished. Another craft is that of making furniture. The first step is to make the frame. Leather is then stretched over the frame and tacked in place. A design is burnt in it and sometimes is painted. One of :the greatest ~rts of old Mexico is pottery making. The clay is ground and mixed with water, which makes it of muddy consistency. It is formed on a foot powered wheel and rounded into many differen t shapes. An ename l substance is poured over it and baked. Then pretty designs are painted on it, and polished for !lours until it is as smooth as glass. To con clude the program, Mr. Rogers led the group in s inging rounds in Spanish. ..

Lincoln Amasses 64 Points To Win M-1-N-K Title Linlis Romp To Title At Beatrice-

Linl{.s Go After Missouri Valley Crown Saturday Jacobs Cops Double Crown, Tech Runnerup Lincoln high's und'lfeated tracks squad added a third crown to its unbroken string of championships Saturday, by rolling up 64 points to capture _.the annual M-I-N-K :meet staged at Peru college. While the Links were sweeping firsts in seven of the eight track events, Omaha Tech's defendin.f champion 'team had a terrific battle on its hands for 5econd place honors with a determined Fairbury aggregation. The Maroons, only Gate City teams entered in the carnival, finally squeezed through, but only by a 24 to 23 margin-40 points behind the rampaging Links. Next engagement on Lincoln's docket is the Missouri Valley conference meet scheduled for Tech field Saturday, May 2. On the basis of last Saturday's performance, the Links will be ranking favorites to dethrone the hosts and win its first loop track title since 1940. Only in the 200 yard low hurdles, in which Dick Covington of Bellevue triumphed, was the Red and Black's dominance of trac k events broken Saturday. And only in the discus did it fail to score. Individual star of the meet was Jake Jacobs, who outlasted Harold Sampson, Tech's sprint ace, to win both the century and 220 yard das hes and become the only competitor to capture two undisputed titles. Later, Jacobs ran the opening leg on the Links' livtorious 880 yard relay team. However,_ Jacobs had to share top billing with Hank McWilliams. After running a 2:09, 2 half mile, McWilliams returned to tie Ed Lebsock for broad jump honors. Thel.r leaps were measured at 20 feet 3 inches. Fre.d Birkman, who earlier in the week had spun off a 52 flat quarter mile, won his specialty handily ~s expected, although the adverse weather conditions shot his time up to 54.2. Jack Nebelsick chased him home in second place. Capitol city entries almost slammed the mile grind as Lincoln's distance aces, E 1 wood Barnes and Lee Chapin, and College View's Dick Westbrook finished in that order. Barnes' time was 4:50.5. Gaylord Edling, who scampered over the high hurdles in 16.4, and the baton quartet, composed of Jacobs, Bob Schuckman, Nebelsick and Birkman, contributed the others firsts to the Red and Black's total. The only meet mark_ knocked into the discard was erased on the 145 feet 9 1h inch discus heave of Fairbury's Leonard Hand, which surpassed the old standard by an even three f eet. Track Event!iil.

Lincoln's veteran infield, snapped while talking with their new men tor, Lyl.e Weyand, are main reason for the Red and Black's optimistic outlook. Left to r ight are: Bob Rubin o, second base; Eddie Hall, third base; Allen Bloom, shortstop, and Weyand. Absent is first sacker, Bob J acobsen.

Linl{s Sweep Intercity .Meet Rack Up 76 Points To Northeast's 45; College View Finishes Third With competitors who had previously qualifed for the state meet withheld from action, the remainder of Lincoln high's track squad compiled a 31 point advantage over their closest rival in the annual intercity meet, Tuesday afternoon, and coasted to a decisive victory. Altho it chalked u p points in only six of the program's 14 events, the L inks trimmed runner up Northeast, who garnered five blue ribbons, by a convincing 75 1-5 to 45 2-5 margin. College View, nipping Teachers by only two-fifths of a point, wound up third with 16 2-5. Sta n Sohl and Frank Anderson · took the Red and Black's only vie· tories on the cinders. Anderson Owen -Brainard of defeating Northeast in the h igh sticks w ith a time of 16.4, and Sohl winning the mile in 5:09. However, the Links had everything their own way in the field events, bagging firsts in all but the javelin and · high jump, and placing three men in each of three events.

19 to l , Rockets Held To 2 Safeties ·While their mates unloosed a 14 hit barrage on a pair of Rocket t wirlers, th ree L incoln pit chers made their initial mound appearance of the season Wednesday afternoon by pitching the Links to a two h it, 19 to 1 victory over Noi-theast. Third sacker Eddie Hall open ed on t he hill for Lincoln and held the visitors well in check for three innings. He disposed of the first five Rockets on strike-outs before Charley Ward singled with two down in the second. Southpaw Bud Hamilton replaced Hall on the rubber at the beginning of the fourth, frame and yielded Northeast's only run on two walks, a stolen base, and a wild pitch. Hobert H ays worked the final frame without encountering difficulty. P aced by Les Lantz and Bob Rubino, who punched in four runs between them with a pair of doubles, the Red and Black shelled Carl Klopping from the box under an eight run outburst in the opening inning. However, Darryl Willett, who skidded over the rest of the dis tance after coming to Klopping's rescue during the explosive first, absorbed the brunt of Lincoln's attack, being pounded for 11 runs on as many safeties. The Links were greatly aided by K lopping's wildness in their first inning spree. The }ank y righthander filled the bases on walks with one down , r- ::1 Al Bloom singled in the game's first run. Dave Krcmarik drove in another tally as he grounded out and Lantz f ollowed by poking a two run double into left field. Klopping walked the next three batters to force in another counter and Rubino cashed two of these passes with a two ply wallop to center. This blow proved the la.st of Klopping, who made way for Willett at that point. Gus Eager then popped out to retire the side. Eager, Morris Galter, Bloom, Krcmarik and Lantz hit in succession against Willett in the third as the Red and Black ,piled up six more markers. I n the fifth t he R ed and Black coupled two safe ties, including a two bagger by Ike E va ns, with a brace of p a sses a nd a fi elder's choice to produce their final four runs.

Going Backl Two Lincoln ._J_u_s_t_o_n_e_y_e_ a_r _a_g_ o- th-is_ w_e_e_k . Lincoln high's aggregation of baseballers, after stopping Seward, 14 to 1, and then triumphing over Schuyler through John Dean's and- Harold "Tap " Jacob's no-hit, no-run hurling, m et disaster when opposed to Omaha Tech. Lincoln's st~rting pit cher , Wilkinson, was easily tabbed for h its and the million dollar infield committed _ four misplays which paved the way for defeat though the hands of the Metropolit a n City team, 7 to 3. Coach J oe Toman's cinder artists when mat ched against the combined forces of Bethany, College View, Havelock a nd Jackson, who in the next year w ere to compose the Northeast high track squad, outran and outclassed the four schools with a 96 to 26 w in. Fred Birkman a n d Gordon H all were individual standouts, as each won two firsts and the la tter also a third. L incoln's reserve track and field deu;,chment almost doubled the count on College View's track aspirants as Ed Lebsack · captured two firsts to pace the scoring. York high's t ennis team found it to no avail to tussle with Lincoln swat ters as they were white washed, 5 to 0. Two years ago this week, dur ing a track combat in the oval of which Coach Cy Yordy's track proteges t ook top hon ors, Howard Debus, one of the greatest -allaroun d athletes in the hist ory of sports at Lincoln high, t hrew t he discus 166 feet 5 inches to establish a new national h igh school mark. But a short t ime befor e, Debus received a certificate signifying his selection on the All American Amateur Athletic Union of the United States as t he discus thrower, by virtue of his heave of 159 feet 11 inches, thrown in a previous meet. T he always masterful pitching of Gayland " Lefty" Glass again went to waste in a clash with Creighton Prep, as the Red and Black muffed eight fielding chanees which proved t o be the d eciding tide in the Lin ks defeat, although the opposing pitcher allowed L incoln but two h its. The other baseball encounter of t he week was more successful as the three hit hurling by· Mark Sheffert and Bob Gropp held t he Teachers college nine scoreless, while the bats of Lincoln pounded in i6 runs. Golf enjoyed a grand week of success as the Links held Seward scoreless, 12 to 0 and out played Grand Island, 7 to 5. T h ree years ago this week, the state reformatory n ine plastered defeat on Lincoln high, 10 to 6, but the Red and Black's secorid vent ure of the week was far more impressive, as Southpaw Benny Kohout, in his in itial s tart of t he season, limited the Tutors of Teachers College high to one safety while the batting power of L incoln rang the bell for 30 runs. Lincoln tennisers, although without the presence of ace Warren Goldstein, outswatted Seward, 5 112 to 1h .

Being held well in check by the combined no-hit, n o-run hurling of Harold "Tab" Jacob an d K enny Maser, spelled defeat for Seward high as the visiting Lincoln nine unleashed an 18 run a t tack in a game pla yed last week on t he Sew ard diamond. Lincoln hardballers ignited 1.he fuse of the clash immedia t ely in the initial frame, when S ew a rd pitcher Slonecker was nicked for three runs, followed by one in the second, two in t he third, seven in the fifth. a nd closing the s coring with five runs in the sixth and concluding inning. B. Reiling relieved Slonecker of pitch ing chores midway in the game. Jacob, L incoln's starting twirler, during his stay on the mound, allowed no hit s, no walks, nor runs, in four stanzas when he was then replaced by Maser. For Seward, this change w as no opportunity to hit or score for Ma ser a llowed but one walk during the t wo concluding innings. In . all, Sewa rd could m uster but one walk off Lincoln's pitching w hile 10 went down via the strikeout route. R oger O'Donnell paced the Red and Black hitting power with two hits in three appeara nces a t t he p late while H arold Hawkins was t he only extra base hitter , knocking out a double in t he sixth .

Tardy Bell Rings At 8:40 Next Fall Next fall junior and senior high students can snooze a third of an hour longer in. the morning, with~ out being late. These early twenty minutes will be sliced off of school tii:ne, pushing the tardy bell up to 8 :40, according to an announcement by the .b oard of education. This will end the comments that pupils have to fumble their way to school in the "dead of night" because of war time. School will close at the regular time, 3:10. The tentative plan for making up the 20 minutes is to take one minute off each period and shorten the lunch period five minutes. Home room period and the length of time between classes will remain the same.

'Mademoiselle Modiste'· Practice Started Practice on the music for the opera, "M'lle. Modiste," has been started by the Lincoln high school orchestra under the direction of Berpard Nevin.

Because of the shortage of farm labor, a number of Lincoln high school boys have volunteered to learn ·and to work for the farmers under the direction of the Vocational Education department of the Lincoln public schools with the cooperation of the University of Nebras]{a college of agriculture

apiece are Joan Greenhalgh, Leatrice Meskil and Malcolm Allen;

a·nd Lincoln firms. Myron Rumery, vocational agriculture instructor of Northeast high school, L. H. Alberty, director of vocational education and Harold C. Mardis, principal of Lincoln high school, are responsible . for organizing the work. Programs are to be offered with instructors and speakers on Monday evening-:-:; and Saturday morn-

ings. The Saturday meetings are of a practical nature with farm animals and farm machinery. The Monday meetings are talks on special· farm topics. The state employment service will be the only agency used to bring farmers and prospective employees together. No boy will be employed without a mutual agreement between the farmer, the boy and his parents, on the type of work, safety provisions, living conditions and rate of pay. The ¥ay 2 meeting was held at the college Of agriculture with H. W. Knops, head herdsman of the horses, taking charge of the horses and C. W. J~rnike explaining the care and feeding of beef cattle. The meeting of May 4 at the Lincoln public schools administration building was on "Tractor Farming" with a film entitled "Let's Grow." Next Saturday's meeting will be on the care and use of tractors. This course is open to high school boys who are physically fit and gives an opportunity for patriotic service by working on farms during summer vacation.

With a crowd of nearly 250, the seniors celebrated at their party at King's ballroom Friday, May 1. The party was informal and made even more so by the dress of the students which consisted of flatties, ankle socks and cotton dresses for the girls, and cords and sport shirts for the boys. Hold-up Staged in Floor Show. The party began at 8 :30 with ballroom dancing to the music of Eddie Schefert and his orchestra. This was interrupted by a hold-up which introduced the floor show. The program was bui.lt around a western theme and the cast was herded into the room at the point of a gun. The bold bandits were Harris Barber, John Conkling and Wesley Cowell. Commanded to entertain as best they could, they did more than the cowboys had expected and pleased them and the audience as well. Mistress of ceremonies \Vas Bobbette Burke who,

upon being told to dance, sing or be shot, shifted the challenge to Elizabeth Smaha, who led the group in hearty hand-clapping by singing "Deep in the Heart of Texas " accompanied by Doretta Hoehne. Next Jack Tilton and Bob Keller "gave out" with some strictly painful harmony by s inging "Wait 'Til the Sun Shines, Nellie." Fred Langenheim followed this duet with a flashy tap routine. Deciding that they would not look good with their ears shot off, Betty Jean Kingdon, Martha Davis and Ardyce Kargo obeyed the commands of the men behind the guns and sang "I'm a Lone Cowhand." Margie Munson assisted at, the piano. Another tough hombre, Charley Smith, sauntered in with six girls who had run away, a bevy of beautiful maidens -or reasonable facsimiles-bedecked in sweaters and s kirts and with a "Hcdy-Lamarr·ain'tgot-nuthin'-on-us" look on their

Five E agle Scouts at the last Court of Honor were eligible for this position and Robert won the place by lot. The f ive boys wen t down to t he Cit y Hall and the m ayor's secretary showed them around. "We had to draw from a hat and I got the lucky one," · he sta ted. "To be an Eagle Scout you must have at least 21 merit badges and be a scout for about three or four years. There is a lot of hard work in it all," he ad ded. "Saturday I s at a t the mayor's desk all day answering the telephone a nd look ing through files," he explained. Mayor J ohnson told Bob all about his w ork and duties. B ob had his own secretary who was a Camp Fire Girl. He stated that there were also about 20 or 30 boys and g irls going through the offices Saturday morning,

Future Farmers Needed To Maintain Food Supply To many students, this time of year brings to mind ideas that have been forming for quite some time on the problem, "What shall I do this summer1" For some time it has meant much more leisure time, trips, outings and those hours we have longed for all winter to catch up with ourselves. Others (the majority, by the way) have found employment for the summer months in some way or another. Alarms are being sounded in the North Platte valley for more labor, as there is not enough in sight to handle this year's crop. There have been larger plantings of sugar beets and potatoes, and, in order to meet the demand for more labor, high school surveys are being made to find out how many persons can be supplied for farm work from this source. In what better way could we assist the helpers on the "home front" than to answer this call 1 The health standpoint must be considered also. Fresh air and sunshine will be immense aids in storing up "reserve strength" which we will all need in future war efforts. A wonderful example of strength is beincr set by our fig·hting men, but to keep that strength and endurance we, at home must maintain a steady food supply output. In conteniplating a job when school adjourns for the summer, remember that not to only our advantage, but to our country's some useful farm aid is greatly needed. '

Sugar No Longer Poured In Americas' Drainpipes R,egistration for war ration book number one is on! Who is not aware of it ? Indeed many an open sugar bowl has suddenly vanished from the dinner table because purchase of sug·ar over the counter has not been permitted for the past week and a half. Everyone knows that mothers or fathers have been required to register in the elementary school districts for the sugar that will be consumed in the weeks to come. Did you know, "Enough sugar is poured down America's drainpipes each year to fire the 16-inch guns on the battleship North Carolina 18,515 times or failure to stir your cup of coffee or tea properly wastes enoucrh sugar to fill the normal requirements of 10 000,000 Chinese for a year1" Such facts should be enough to make everyone realize that the defense workers and soldiers in our arme.d forces must have sufficient . sugar to provide the energy they will need in winning the war. For the dmation, Americans will follow the advice of <?· P. M., by eating raisins, figs, dates or prunes mstead of candy. Yes ! America 's eating habits must change but each one will do his part so that our' guns may speak louder, our brothers fight better. because America is buying snga1· by the cou.p on book, rather than the sack! ·

Clothes and Materials Should Be Conserved .With prorities in full swing, ther e is a challenge to us to pla11 our wardrobes carefully, to buy the very best quality possible and to make our own clothes in order to have better and more attractive ones. At present no specific recommendations inform us how far limitation~ OJ?- yardage may be carried, but careful thmkmg for now ~nd the future calls for a deliberate determination to cut down on yardage. There are also necessary skills to aid in clothes economy, and thereby, conservation. Some of these are altering hems refittino· taking care of dangling b.uttons ' and split seams, mending· and darning, before tears and holes have a chance to become large and difficult. Fabrics must be conserved! Buying a dress that one can't, or doesn't, intend to wear ~ore tha:i ~ short time is waste- and waste is unpatr10tic ! The g-irl who sews her own wardrobe is helping on the home front, for she has better clothes that cost less and wear !on~e~; she has clothes that flatter her as an · mdiv1dual and thus keep up her spiri ts.

'Coaches Must Have Lots of Patience And Liking for Boys,'-Glen Presnell "Coaching is pleasant work for those who like to work with boys and have a lot of patience," is the opinion of Glenn Presnell, r ecently appointed head coach at the University of Nebraska. Mr. Presnell has been a coach since 1928 and has been here at Nebraska four years. He believes that, as a rule, boys who lean toward athletics and have competed with other boys make the best coaches, but there are some excellent coaches who never have competed. The Nebraska football team has not been hit by the draft yet, but some of the boys may be taken this summer. Several of the fellows have enlisted in t he air corps, however. So far the boys have been deferred because of their schoolwork and the R. 0. T . C. In this way they remain in school until they graduate. The coach stated that this year the center and fullback positions are the hardest to fill since two veterans in each position have been lost from last year. Ki Eisenhart, Wally Hopp (wl).o by the way, is Harry Hopp's brother), Hewitt, Clark and Wright a re a few of · this year's encouraging discoveries or prospects.

Covers Two new books: "Story Lives of American Composers" and "Unfinished Symphony- the life of Franz Schubert," have been purchased by the Lincoln high libi:ary, The money for these books was sent from St. Olaf College of Minnesota in payment for a practice t each er from that school who did some teaching in Lincoln h igh . This young woman taught in the music department under Hugh T . Rangeler and in the English department under Miss Nancie Jane Wallace. The money was used for something which could be used by both the English and music departments. "Story Lives of American Composers" by Katherine Little Bakeless is the lively story of the g rowth of American music. It tells vividly of the lives of fourteen well-known American composers, from Stephen Foster, beloved writer of "Old Black Joe," "Swanee River" a nd similar songs, John Philip Sousa, the "March King," and Victor Herbert, composer of many light operas, to William C. Handy, writer of "St. L ouis Blues" ar,d oth er famous blues songs, Irving Berlin, and George Ger shwin. The a uthor excites the interest not only of t he music lover, to whom this book will surely appeal, but a lso of those who find people entrancing studies, who will discover the urge to make music which drew many of these composers from . profitable businesses a nd comfort able homes to liv.e the precarious life of musicians. The other book, "Unfinished Symphony- the Life of Franz Schubert" by Madeleine Goss, reads like a novel. It is the story of one of the most beloved of the classical composer s, F ranz Schubert. Among the most appealing incidents are the first. and only time he fell in love, t he good times he h ad wi th his friends in Vienna, and the way he received the inspiration for his lovely "Unfinished Symphony." Both of these books a re r ecommended r eading for a nyone who enjoys listening to beautif ul music, or seeing within t he h earts of people.

Style Show Postponed Because of the s ugar r ationing registration in prog ress this week, the annua l spring style show will be held next Wednes day, May 13, insteacl of today, a s r ecently a nnounced.

"A coach must see that the boys are not only physically equipped but also mentally alert, and of course, most important of all, see that t hey have a sound knowledg·e of the fundamentals of football, such as tackling and blocking. The coach's real problem is getting the team emotionally ready for a game." Coach Presnell explained this by pointing out that if a team is overconfident, it will not play up · to its ability and will slide along too confident of winning, wh.e reas the underdog may come out ·on the field and really work and play its hardest and win the game. As Coach Presnell said, "A Jot of football is mental determinatidn." A coach has to use psychology because it is necessary that he deal with so many different per sonalities and nearly all must be handled differently. Some boys have t o . be encouraged more than others. Some must be prodded along while others need to be "toned down." It certainly is no easy job to find methods of handling each member of the team in order to obtain the best r esults. Lincoln high school proves to be a veritable gold min in pro-

ducing university footb~ll players. Those on Presnell's team at present who are graduates of Lincoln high. school are Fred Metheny, Forrest Bachman, Joe Partington, Chick Thorne, Dale Wismer, Dean Jackson, Howard Debus and Vic Schleich. When asked what his greatest thrill or satisfaction had been in his entire career, the newly appointed coach replied th.at he had experienced a number of thriHs while playing in university, but his greatest thrill during his coaching career was while he was coaching at the University of Kansas. Kansas had only. a mediocre t eam that year and it was playing Oklahoma, which had a very good team and was .favored by a large margin over Kansas. There were 20 seconds left in the game and the score was 3 to O in favor of Oklahoma. Just then a Kansas player threw' a forward pass which an Oklahoma player in turn juggled to another K.U. teamster who ran for a touchdown and crossed the goal-line just as the gun went off. The game was over and the score was 6 to 3 in favor of Kansas! That was certainly enough of a thrill for any coach.

Jen·y Ginsburg, 9-year-old Composer Has Conipleted His First Operetta "Jan and Juliana," is the first operatic music written by a youthful composer, Jerry Ginsburg, nine years old and in the fourth grade. He wrote all of the music and most of the words in the operetta. When asked where he got the idea, he said, "We considered a number of ideas but none of them appealed .until we thought of this one." He played the Overture, which contained a strain from every song or dance. No.ne of them lacked distinction and melody. He sang a particular catchy air, "Ode to the Bells," easily, in a boyish soprano voice. With the selfpossession of an adult, he told briefly the. summary of the work. "Jan and Julian," two little Dutch r efugees of Holland, are being sent to America to stay with an uncle until the war is over. But they long for their parents, friends and Holland. A fairy comes to them and promises that they may go home for a short visit, but eventually t hey must. come back to America. On arriving in Holland t heir mother , father a nd friends welcome them. Soon the fairly reap~ pears a.;1d reminds them that U1ey must return t o New York. However sh e is interrupted by a messenger who bears the good news that the war is over ! The childr en ar e permitted to remain at home. The operetta was woven into their schoolwork. The country,

Holland, was cho~en because that was the country they were studying. Jerry has been writing on the music and words since February, When he got an idea at school he could go into the cloak room and write it down. He does not do one kind of composing alone, but likes to do all types. Jerry dashed off a few m ea.sures of a new caprice and added, "This is the Spanish dance I am workir.g on right now. I don't know what I will call it." His mother, who was present at the interview, said that Jerry's trouble was that he wanted to write music too hard for the average pianist to play. Jerry also likes to make short work of prac-. ticing his lesson, but spends a great deal of time composing. Jerry is working on a new operetta, in which the setting is China. His mother gave advice, good for everyone, when she hoped he would complete the first in all details :Jefore starting the second. The children know the songs, be• cause J erry taught them by ear. His music is written down by his t eacher, Miss Ruth Dreamer. She writes it as he plays, much as a secretary takes dictation. Jerry explained, "Oh, that's easy, she has absolute pitch." Jerry said that he was looking forward to entering Lincoln high school .in the fall of 1947, and we will be looking forward to h earing the opera he will write. John Jay Douglass, '39, is now chairman ot the Student Foundation of the University of Nebraska and Betty Klingel, '38, is district chairman while Priscilla Moseley, '40, is Lancaster county chairman of the same organization which has as its purpose giving information to prospective students on the state university and interesting them in it.

Successful organization of talent at Lincoln high school has been accomplished by Winifred Nelson, organizer and director of the "Sweethearts of Rhythm." This all girl orchestra, formerly called "Minute Maids," got its start in Joy Night and has been going strong ever since. Its first outside appearance was in the all-university amateur show held at the Nebraska theater. Al· though the g irls were a featured attraction and were not actually competing, they received such great audience favor that they were awarded second. Next. they appeared at the State Bankers convention at the Cornhusker hotel on April 20. Their third engagement was before the Bar association ladies' night on April 27 where Father E. J. Flanagan of Boys Town was guest speaker. They are planning to play for the style show assembly. Winifred sings in a t rio with Lenore Beck and Martha Davis. Paul Koenig, graduate of Lincoln ' high, makes the special arrangements for the orchestra since it is impossible to purchase them for such a group.

Two hits, two sacrifices, and four enors could constitute but t w o runs for Plattsmouth high's hardball nine as the visiting Red and Black baseballers of L incoln high ammassed three runs for a mere one point win last Tuesday afternoon. Bob Jacobsen, Lincoln's lead-off man, connected for a one base hit in the initial frame, journeyed to second on Ed Hall'.s sacrifice, a nd completed the remaining distance for the firat score by virtue of Rog O'Donnell's sizzling double. Morris Gaiter crossed the piate in the fourth inning for score number two as a result of receiving a base on balls, advancing to second on O'Donnell's single, and streaking home on Bobby Rubina's double. Les Lantz closed the Links 11coring in the sixth, by getting himself a single, a stolen base, and coming home on Jacobsen's two bagger~

· Nielsen Smacks Homer. Noble tallied the first Plattsmouth marker by poling out a. single in the fourth, striving to second on a sacrifice, stealing third, and venturing home on Bloom's error.

Student Voters Must Use Good Consideration

By Hobert Hays

' ' Governments-De1·iving their just' powers from the consent of t he governed, '' is a phrase in the Dedaration of Independence. Most .Americans are agreed on the principles of democracy, and democracy insists t hat this consent of the governed be freely given. F ree elections ar e not enough t o satisfy democracy ; there must be free discussion before t he election takes place. 'I'oday, votes of Lincoln high pupils will he cast in the student council primaries and on May 21 will be the finals and · election of class officers. How many students will be voting in an intelligent , car eful manner ? It is hoped that t he majority will, 'because the majority rules. Every well-governed organization chooses certain, well-suited persons to act fo r it, t o represent it ancl to supervise in a gener al way, in c11rrying out the organization 's policies. Lincoln high is our organization for our wellbeing. Now, as at no other time, we can put fort h · one of t he biggest fundamental points in democracy and vote. H asty, ill-consider ed votes should not be cast. One of three things causes a voter to sup. port a petitioner. F rst, and perhaps the most common one, is that he is known and liked. He has a pleasing personality and he just seems to fi t in t he office. On the other hand, the person may not be liked so well, but he may b e so qualified that he should be in of.fice anyway. Last, and of course t he poorest t·eason of all, is t hat ~veryon e else is voting for him, so a voter will think he might as well do likewise. Have we tried t o exert ourselves and disMver t he candidate most fit fo r office 1 Look u p his scholastic r ecord ! See what leadership 'he contd buted toward extra-curricular activities! P eople may t hink they know a petitioner to speak and talk wit h him, but t he impor tant matter is what he has done in class and the clubs out side of class. Why does a person wish to put his name on t he ballot for student council 1 For t he honor .of the office 1 To see if he can be elected 1 Or for what he himself can contr ibut e to the school. Evaluate t he candidate's mot ives. People who feel that they are taking part in a government also have more confidence in it. Whether the election goes one way or anot her, the voter is more satisfied than the nonvot er. It may seem a small thing t o put out t he effort t o elect student council members and class officers, but everything done as a citizen of Lincoln high school make students bett er citizens in our country.

It has been pr oved that air plane models are a great help in anti-air gunnery and recognition practice for navy, artillery and civilian wardens. . Our navy has sent out a call to various high schools in t his vast .nation for airplane models. Materials are furnished, and instructors are taking time . to help pupils who will make these models. Making airplane models has formerly been a hobby of American boys and it should now be considered a hobby for all America, in which boys can participate. It is a patr iotic obligation of every youth of America who appreciates the freedom and the opportunities to be enjoyed, to make t hese airplane models for the United States Navy.

Sweet for the Sweet Won't Be So Sweet Many a sweet tooth wi ll have to be "extracted" for the duration. Ice cream sodas won't taste so sweet. eon-bons, choc· olale and other kinds of candy will be less plentiful, and more expensive. Several flavors of soda pop will be hard to get. Sugar, in its artificial state, was a stranger to the Greeks and Romans who used honey in its place. For hundreds of years after it was first produced. in Ind ia, sugar was used only as a. medicine or as a rare delicacy. The people of the United States (used to) consume so · much sugar that they have been ,said to eat their own weight of it. At the close of World war 1 , the con.sumption was 100 pounds per capita. Now, each person will be entitled to only 8 ounces per week, but in Poland the ration is 4Y2 ounces per week. Remember, the sugar that is saved in America will go into explosives to beat the axis!

One of t he most amusing in cidents was the time Senator Saxt on came to dinner. The author's mother did not k now tie wa~ coming. Since what she ha d for supper was far f rom being a "company meal," th e family v as expecting an explosion when the Senator had left. However, things turned out u nexpectedly.

Small Boy 'Cra.shes' Typewriting Class When the boy you a r e taking care of comes to schoo-1 to vis it you durfng you r typing class, it really l eads to complications. T his is exact ly w hat happened Thursday, May 7, in Mrs. Fran: ces R. Rein's fifti, period typing class. A little boy cam.e in to see Carol Lane duri ng the last fifteen m inutes of t he perio<I, much to Carol's dismay. He was in steady competition with Mrs. Rein as he held the class' attention · by drawing pictures on the back blackboard while Mrs. Rein was trying to ex· plai n to t he c lass about their typi ng. T he little boy showed the class t he picture which he had drawn in kindergarten class that morni ng explaining, "This is my mother, t his is me, a nd that is my big ball!" He seemed to enjoy sho·wlng a nd telling the class all about his painting and a lso t rying · to keep Carol's attention at the same time.

Below the s chool in the addition is an activity in adult education about which most . of t he students know very little, acetylene and electric arc welding. William "Bill" Goodwin a nd Stephen Aust in are instructors in a cetylene and elect r ic arc welding respect ively. "In a cet ylene or a ircraft welding course t he men each dra w blueprints of the various parts of the a irplanes such as the fuselage, stabilizers and elevators. They also draw and stwiy the various t yp es of contraction and expansion welds, ... stated ·Mr . Goodwin, " and aft er the blueprints ar e dr a wn the men actually ·weld the p arts of the plan es with hi-test ch rom ium t ubing." E ach table, w hich has been welded by a . former st udent, ha s a top of firebrick and around each one is all the equipment used by the . worker. The equipment in-. eludes t ubes of oxygen a nd acet ylene, t orches, weldin g rods, a vice an d files . F ourteen are enrolled in this course which takes t hree months to com plete. "Most of th e men a fter completion of this course, explained Mr. Goodwin, go directly to work in . the. airplane companies such a s

Lockheed, Douglas an d many others." "Electric arc welding students study the elemen ts of arc welding a nd proper u se of the induction transformer arc welder which is used exclusively ln t his courl!e," said Mr. Austin, while adjusting a machine for a student . . I n th e classroom are eight steel com par tments in w hich the weld· ing is done to eliminat e the danger of fire and flying sparks. The men have about 30 different projects to weld and with each project they make a job sheet an d after this is done they learn to _eut and bur n with acetylene torches. Af ter the men finish the course w hich also takes three mont hs; t hey go to work in the shipyards on the east ern and southern coasts. "Although most p eople think that the eyesight of welders is. affected by the intense lig ht, " 'emphasized Mr. Austin, "there is little t ruth in this because it actually doesn 't affect their eyesight if they wear t he masks which ar e a part of every welder's equipment." "E lectric arc welding is consid· erably cheaper and much more s table than acetylene," added Mr Austin in summing up electric arc welding.

University Extension Service Available For Students_;,Mrs. N. B. Nelson "For st udents who live in isola ted regions or are incapacitated, the U niversity of Nebraska extension division makes it possible to secure an education," related Mrs. N . B. Nelson, a ·secretary from this department. Some of the lessons prepared for the pupils have been written by Lincoln high school t eachers. Miss E lizabeth Grone ha s contributed her services in th e fields of Latin and photography; G. Gilbert Rogers wrote a course in Spanish; C. J. Orness constructed a course in gasoline engines and C. O. Morrison, now an ensign in the U. S. navy, wrote a course in electricit y. Though courses are offered on t he elementary, secondary a n d college levels, a high school pupil would without doubt be inter ested in the secondary field courses offering aca demic, vocational and elective subjects. The work is f ully accredited by the Nor th Centra l Association of Sch ools and Colleges, so .the validity of the credit is unquestionable.

Teachers Act '.As Registrars All Lincoln high teachers and many Lincoln high students spent long afternoons la st week helping with sugar rationing. "It was fun as well as work," was the reply of most who helped. Miss Lillian Story told of one woman who asked for a card for her dog. When she was refused the card, she said, "But m y dog has tea every afternoon and he needs plenty of sugar for it." Mathematics was needed t o figure out one woman's problem. Replying to the question of how much sugar she had on hand at t he present, she said she had a coffee can, sugar can and two sugar bowls full. One story that got a laugh from many was of a university student. When asked the question how much sugar he had on hand, he replied in a rather melancholy voice, " t haven't any sugar any more; she got married." The job of the student pages was to carry supplies direct to the people, carry paj!ers from desk to desk and other odd jobs~ Miss Margaret Proctor, a sponsor of the national honor · society, 8elected membez:s and others to assist.

English classes if you intend to be a lawyer," decfared C. A. Sorensen, Lincoln attorney and former attorney general of Nebraska. While wide reading of newspapers a nd magazines is very import ant, he said, a lawyer who spells badly and uses poor grammar cannot get along. "A lawyer," said Mr. Sorensen, "must keep up with the present day happenings by following the news closely in various periodicals." However, wide r eading of the classics is necessary to get t he proper background for law work. The former attorney general said tha t he thought t he Lincoln schools were doing a very good job of teaching English. Although he emphasized the teaching of grammar, Mr. Sorensen declared that the practice in public s peak ing, such as debating that students get in high school, helps them a great deal later on.

Travel Club Hears Tall{ Kaiulani Mattson, Born In Haw~ii, Discusses Native Industries "Kaiulani Mattson, Hawaiian born girl who recently moved to Lincoln, spoke t o the travel club Monday, May 11. Kaiula ni discu ssed the industries of the Hawaiian islands and des cr ibed some of the islands. The two main industries are sugar raising and pineapple growing . T he sugar plantations are almost entirely owned by one com pany and there a r e t w o rival pinea pple companies. The natives, Hawaiians and Filipinos, are the laborers on t h e plantations. Whenever the boats com e in to the harbors there is always a large crowd a w aiting them, for t he ceremony is so beaut iful. with the band playing and people singing t he .unique native Hawaiian m u sic. "The natives," s t ated Kaiulani, "have many ceremonies and feasts at which they pay tribute to t heir gods." There is a school in the islands which can be attended only by t hose who have Hawaiian blood. T his school has a m useum in which all the old Hawaiian cust oms a r e preserved. But the English language is taught instead of t he Hawaiian. Only a f ew of the old people speak the native language. Kaiulani t h inks t hat Lincoln is somewhat like H onolulu except that t h e buildings in Honolulu are from thr ee to five stories high . White clothing is worn almost entirely by the people over there. The temperature for the year n ever gets below 60 d egrees and the highest is usually around 100 degrees. "There are many sports in the islands," r elated Kaiulani, "some which they don't have here." The m ain ones are s wimming, fishing, horseback riding and surf board riding. One of the more unusual ones is where they paddle long, na rrow Hawaiian canoes out into the big w aves and t hen ride t he breakers into the shore. T his is very strenuous according to "Ki" but a Jot of fun. Another unusual sport is somet hing which t a kes the place of sled riding here. This is where the pa r ticipants take huge leaves of a cetrain tropical plant and make seat s out of them on w hich they slide down little waterfalls. " Spear fishing is something which t he. natives do a lot of an d it is fun t o watch ," says "Ki. " The natives go out on the reefs and spear t h e fish from there. At n ight they use torches and the light attracts t he fish which a r e easily speared t hen. There are only two active volcanoes among t he islands arid on one of t he extinc t ones the re is enough snow to ski on. The · islands according to "Ki" are really beautiful, covered as t h ey are all the year around with tropical plants of all descriptions. Ma rch is usually the r ainy cold (60 degrees) month, while August is h ot and sultry .

No competition as yet. This fact was borne home to the track fans in Nebraska as Lincoln high's Red · and Black speedsters ran thirteen other high schools right into~ the ground at the Omaha University Invitational last Saturday, May 9. This victory in which Lincoln garn ered 43 ~ points to the nearest competitor's, Norfolk's, 17, proved to the state that the speedsters of Lincoln high could also · run under perfect conditions, as before they ran ·in three rain fests and one near snowstorm. Birkman Again

Bespectacled F r e d Birkman again paced the Links as he set a new mark in the quarter mile, also running anchor on the winning, record-setting relay team. As there were two heats in the 440, Freddie was running against time, but how he did run. ·Taking command at the start and running . like Dagwood after his morning bus, Birkman broke the record of :51.6 set by Al Brown of Benson, by two-tenths of a second. Up to Saturday morning, the best time in the state beli>nged to Fred, making him the man to beat in class A quarter-mile dash. In the second heat, teammate Jack Nebelsick clocked a :53.3 running to give him second in the time comparisons. Birkman and Nebelsich came back to run two furlongs in ·obtaining a new 880 relay in the time of 1 :33.4; clipping two-tenths of a second off the record set by Tech in 1941. One-Two in Mile.

Elwood Barnes arid Lee Chapin f inished one-two again in the mile in the fast tinie of 4:49.5, while Gaylord Edling finished third to state champ George Surber in the hurdles who ran it in :15.3, the same time he ran it in .winning the state 120 high hurdles last year. Fairbury's Dick Miller, in trying for Howard Debus' 12 ft. 214 inch vaulting record, had a bad spill and had to be content with an even 12 feet. In his jump h e sprained a muscle which may keep him out of the state and w ent into Fairbury's field unit, which is figured to give Lincoln the most competition in the state.· Jake Jacobs, t he Red and Black's hope in the da shes, evened an old score with Harold Samson. and Marvin Hall of Omaha Tech, but had to take back seat to Ed Jackson of Boys Town. Al Mather of Norfolk led the 21econd place Norfolkers by annexing the 200 yard lows and the broad jump to give them 10 of their second place total of 17 points. Three_ to.. Participate in State.

Betters Tech In 11 Innings l{ingery Makes Deciding Run

After Eddie Hall had stolen home with two out in the seventh to force the game into extra innings, Lincoln capitalized on two ninth inning errors Saturday to push over an unearned run and squeeze out a 5 to 4 victory over Omaha Tech on the Links diamond. With one down in the final frame, Wayne Kingery pumped a solid single into center field. llall then lead down an easy bouncer to Veechio that was labelled for a double play until the T ech short" stop hurriedly threw the ball past second baseman H ighly, permitting Kingery to continu~ to third. Elongated Al Wittmer, who hurled a brilliant eight hit game despite his wobbly support, 'Used six pitches to whiff Rog O'Donnell and then forced Al Bloom to loft an a pparently harmless fly . to center. B ut Angelo Maneameli let the ball slip through his fingers and Kingery jogged home with the clinching marker. The L inks took full advantage of a mental lapse by ' catcher Darrell Everhart to hang up its two counters in the dramatic seventh. llall waited out a pass with one out, sending Kingery, who had run out a scratch single, to second. As Wayne pulled up at the keystone sack, Everhart suddenly rifled the ball into center field and Kingery sped on to third. llall reached second on the . play, advanced as O'Donnell grounded out, bringing in a run, and when the · count reached two and two on the n ext batter, Eddie broke for the plate. The p it ch was very low ·a nd before a surprised ·Everhart could dig the pellet out of the dirt, Hall had scamper ed safely a cross the pl at e and the score was knotted ·at four-all. Coach Lyle W eyand elected to split Lincoln'$ mound assignment between IIarold Jacob and John Dean. For the first four innings, Jacob handcuffed the Maroons with one hit, a fluke Texas league single by Manbeameli which eluded second sacker Bob Rubino in the second sta nza. But Tech greet ed Dean with a three hit, two run flurry in the fifth, and followed this with another two run outburst an inning later.

Although this column was stopped for a while, we will take up where we left off and continue to relate to you the news around the sporting. centers. It seems' Charles Rawson was s u ff e .r i ng from a wretched sprained ankle, so Coach Marvyn Francis was forced to leave him behind on a recent tennis trip. There's a story behind everything that happens and we would like to send this one to you about none other than your ·own track team: The setting: Omaha university; Occasion, Omaha university invitational meet; Time, about 3:30i situation, well Lincoln hadn't grabbed any points in the morning events and Omaha Tech was in the iead by about 9 or 10 points. Everything looked dark for the ·Red and Black, in fact their string of victories might be broken. The boys were ·grouped together chatting, asking the progress of the m eet from their coach, who . remarked, "Boys, t his is going to be the toughest meet before we are finished; iet's go out and grab those points." And with determination in their hearts they trudged down the hill one by one as their. events were called out and, well you know the rest, 43 11.i points, 26 more points, than their nearest competition,. two records and a host of blue, red and many white ribbons. Will they do it tomorrow and Friday? Well; here's one sports writer who says Lincoln in the state meet. The track squad learned a few ·tricks at the Omaha meet Saturday and met some new friends from the Nebraska School for Deaf. This was made. possible by Johnny P a rkin, recruit from St. Paul, who learned how to talk with his hands through an acquaintance at St. Paul. The two teams had quite a conversation, using· Johnny as interpreter. At the Lincoln tennis club, during the Fremont~Lincoln high tennis matches, the tennis team h ad an opportunity to see the Okla· home whiz, Ger~ Tucker, in ac· tion. Experts say the sophomore basketball star will be a second Don Budge. Dick Bogan is the hard luck member of the golf team. Dick was forced to participate in a track m eet on the day the greens trotters were qua lifying for a r e· cent meet, but hoping to qualify, Bogan traveled out to the qualifying course, Pioneers, t he next d ay arid bagged home an 82 score which was four strokes better t han any t he previous day, but because he had not done it the right way, Dick remained at h ome.

Creighton Prep, last year 's runnerup, will be Lincoln high's first round foe in the state prep baseball tournament which will begin Thursday on the Univer sity of Nebraska's diamonds and continue for three days. Since Omaha Tech filed its entry too late to be accepted, only six clubs are left to battle for the cla ss AA crown. As usual there will be three lower divisions with four teams entered in A, five in B and eight ih C. The Links are scheduled to go into action at 1,1:00 o'clock Thursday morning, immediately following the Northeast-Plattsmouth clash. If it clears this hurdle, t he Red and Black will bump into Hastings, who drew a bye, in the semifinals. Omaha North nabbed the upper bracket bye. Omaha South, which won the championship last spring a fter nipping Lincoln, 3 t o 2, in the opening round, will not be on hand to defend its title.

Lincoln high and other Nebraska h igh schools were well represented a t the Crete Play Day, held Saturday, May 9. Thirteen L .H.S. g irls attended the Play Day. Miss Helen Jo Miller was their sponsor.

Plans Made For Slaters Students Correspond With Fellow Citizens About Future State For the past three weeks Girls and Boy Staters have been corre· sponding with their future companions of one week. Data and in· formation concerning the States bad been sent to them about the first of May, and this included a list of the other citizens to be active in their respective "towns," towns known by such names as "Meyerville" and Krause Corners." Future Staters have found attending the States is not all "a bed of roses," for the week of absence must be made up. As States are in session during examination week at Lincoln high, "citizens" must return for the hour of their respective examinations unless previous arrangements have been made with their teachers to take the test upon returning.

The program ends dramatically with students promising to break no more traffic laws if the boy is not sent to prison. The most touching and dramatic scene is where Betty Jo Packard, playing the part of the mother, beautifully pleads with Steve to promise to help keep her husband from hating his son. Other excel· lent portrayals were Don Brewer as the father, and Harris Barber as the companion-Of the boy. Add· ing to the reality, in minor parts; were Robert Heins and Joan Gellatly.

Ex-Links Wins Algebra Contest Elaine ' Norberg, former Links wha left Lincoln last August and is now attending Central high school in Pueblo, Colorado, placed first in all school algebra contest. Only pupils who had an A or an A minus rating (equivalent to one or two) could ·take the test. It covered four semesters of high school algebra, b1it especially algebra three and four. Fifteen students are chosen from the winners of the regional tournament to represent their school in the state contest. Elaine cannot go because she took only one test. To qualify for the state contest, a pupil must have placed in at least two tests. Central high school is a little smaller than Lincoln high school. The activity tickets include the year book and "Pay-assemblies." Individual clubs sponsor assemblies to which students must pay admission, They also have. rifle clubs. The R. O. . t.

Summer Expected to Bring Chance For Young Workers-John A. Coover Although up to the present time, employers have been reluc· tant. to hire young people, there will be a tendency hereafter to hire them, according to John A. Coover, head of United States Employment Service for Nebraska. "Up until last month there was not as great a demand for people to work in the defense plants as many persons believed," . stated Mr. Coover. "Beginning this summer, however, I believe that there will be a real shortage." Mr. Coover mentioned .that there are twenty offices in Ne· braska where people can come and apply for positions. These applications will then be classified according to the type of work they are seeking, and if there is such a position open, they will secure it. "A boy must be at least seven· teen years old before he can secure free training," said Mr. Coover. "There are training centers at Omaha, Kearney and Bellevue, as well as in Lincoln." Free training and twenty-four dollars each month may be se•

cured for boys interested in learning. defense work who live ·a nd re· ceive training in Lincoln, accord· ing to Mr. Coover. If it is necessary to take the training in one of the outsid ~ towns, ten dollars may be cleared each month. This amount is lower because of the living expenses necessary in such a town, which would not be neces• sary if one received his board and room at home. "Most jobs require experience," declared Mr. Coover. "Specialized training is very important. There is, of course, a demand for stenographers and typists. Accounting, filing and bookkeeping are helpful in securing a position." Speed requirements for typists and stenographers are fifty words and eighty words per minute re· spectively, but these ·rates are likely to be lowered, in the ,opinion of Mr. Coover. "Social Security cards m;:.y be secured whether one is workiitg or not," he pointed out. "However, it is not necessary to have one before you apply for a position.

Tomorrow is the day designated for the final election for next year's student council members. Pupils will also vote for class of• ficers on this day. It will mark the third joint student council and class officer election in the history of the school. "' Students will vote in the same rooms as they did for the p'ri• maries. Polls will be open for vot• ing from 7:45 a. m. to 8:10 a . m., during all lunch periods and after school to 4 p. m. . Even numbered rooms on the first floor vote tit room 120, odd numbe "~d rooms on the first floor will cast -votes in 131. Room 210 will be used by evel}. numbered rooms on second 2.'ld 219 will be used by odd numbered rooms on the second floor. _The stage in 326 will be used for even numbered rooms on both the third and Wurth floors.

Self Assurance Is Needed . In This Day And Age· . "'l'he gay nineties were the good old days," --"Folks could have a lot more fun in those times, "-are only a very few of the opinions expressed by the parents and elders of this sometimes too rapidly modernizing world of today. Inventions and science are said to have advanced beyond t he development and civilization of man, and sometimes people are just simply bewildered by it all-so bewildered that their minds are dimmed as to what is really right and what is wrong-what should be done and what shouldn 't. Some take the easiest way out. 1'hey look to see what their neighbor is doing and follow suit, often without any serious thought. Some follow ignorantly-while others follow lazily with the excuse that "peopl e >vill think I 'm queer if I <lon 't and what 's the difference an~way ! " This represents an example of a lackadaisical way of getting out of some reasoning a~d concentration, but the truth of the mat ter is t hai1 a surprising number of persons have forgotten how to concentrate (if t hey ever did know. how). That isn't idle preaching. It's an established fact. . . . Portunately, however, there are still some who dare to be different, and it usually takes plenty of nel've. '!

B.etween The Covers With vacation just around the corner, the wanderlust is likely to seize one about this time of year. However, because of a shortage of tires, gasoline, and cars, and with all extra money being turned into war sta mps and bonds, long trips are "out." One way t o solve that urge for travel is rea ding a good travel book. "Northern Lights" by Desmond Holdridge is just such a book, and is the stirring tale of three men who followed the Labrador coast north in a small boat. There are vivid des criptions of their struggles with storms, · which threatened to end the trip, the disagreements a mong the three when the close confinement of the: little boat got on their nerves, an d of the courage which kept them going in the face of disa st er. "Daughter of t he Euphrates," by Elizabeth Caraman, a lthough it is an autobiography, also gives a vivid picture 'of a for eign land, Kurdistan, in the interior of Turkey. It is a tale of the happy life led by the Armenians before th e Turks began their massacres during the World war. With the war, the author, then an eleven-year-old girl, saw her f ather murdered and he r mother t aken away. She cont rived to escap e with her younger .sist er to America, wh er e h er safety an d security we re assured.

• • • Life With a School Chum

"I started drawing just as soon as I could lif t a pencil," said Hobart Hays, Lincoln high school junior and Advocate cartoonist, whose hobby is art cartooning ·and more art. Hobart, who is the creator of "Einstein Angledome," is more interested in cartooning than art at the m om ent. J. N. Dar ling, w ho has done political cartooning for 30 yea rs, is his favorite a rt ist. t H oba rt ha s h ad no private lessons but studies the t echnique of different artists by comparing them. H e a lso is in a r egula r a rt class under Miss H elen Wilson. Hobart enter ed · four posters in the r ecent art contest and won a second and third p rize a nd a n honorable mention. "I hope to enter some k ind of vocation concerning art , eit her wor king for a paper or w indow decorations," asserted Hobart. H e works at his hobby in a ll his spare t ime. H e, however , is not

the only on e in the H ays family with a talented hand . His young er brother does cartooning almost as well as he does. "I n a little while he'll be bet ter than I, a nd can take over 'Ein ey' when I graduate, if it's still running," stated Hobar t with a grin. Hobart w ith the assistance of Shirley Staats, Bob Blum and Shirley Ba con, m ade the ptof ile silhouettes which w ere used as a background for the a ssem bly advertising the jun ior pla y. The a ctua l profiles of every person in the cast were made by placing light behind the heads a nd t racing the p rofile. Then with t he a id of a pantogr a ph (which enlarges t he drawing into life size) , t he ima ges were put on heavy brown wrapping paper and paint ed with show-card colors. This took i full month of work, mornings, dur ing study p eriod and after school. Aside from this hobby, Hobar t likes baseball, a nd is on t he Lincoln · high school t eam.

This lit tle plane didn't last very long because my younger br other got hold of it an d smashed it all into little pieces. Tha t same day m y mother went to to~n again and bought me a plane that I had t o build my. self. From then on , I didn't pester m y mother because I got so interested in building these small model airplanes. When the fir st on e was finished it didn 't look so good so I kept on mak ing them, one right after the ot her. I continued building these small model planes because I liked to and also because I kept myself out of t rouble by staying home most of the t ime. It is a lot of f un to build these ~"mall models.

State Title ists

Platte Second Relay Tea1n And J acohs Get Firsts When the mid-May sun cast shadows onto the Nebraska university Memorial stadium enclosure at the end of the fortieth annual running of the state h~gh school track and field championship Friday, May 16, Coach Ralph Beechner's proteges from Lincoln high had dethroned Omaha Tech in romping to their third major title in sports this year by amassing 26 points.

the victim of a slight upset as he crossed the finish line in the mile in second place for the first time this year. Lee Chapin, the inter-class discovery, placed as usual directly behind Barnes, which occurred to be third instead of the always present second. Charlie Valencia chugged across the 880 finish in first place in his heat, but as the placings were based on time comparisons, ·he didn't place. Henry McWilliams, Links ace half miler, seemed always to be the lad boxed when going around the curves and also didn't place. • In the weight events, Neil McPherson 1put the 12 pound 'shot 47 feet for second place standing behind Gordon Lucht of Grand Island, two time champion. The jumps proved of no aid in Lincoln's bid for tame as the high jumpers, Bob Bruns, Mickey Allen and Roland Wolfe, mustered no points. Vaulters Bob and Jake &uns also lost, nor could Jake Jacobs, Ed Lebsock and Hank McWilliams mechanize leaps that were far enough for points in t he broad jump.

No~th Platte, who was paced by McCartney and Stroud, compiled 21 points for second place honors, with Alliance, Fairbury and Norfolk, all of whom tallied 11 points, tied for third. Omaha Tech scored 10 points to finish fourth. The Red and Black power machine was pressed by North Platte throughout the meet and, having but the relay to be performec!, possessed a mere three point advantage ov~r the Platters. By triumphing in the relay, North Platte could have won the title.

January '43 president.

Tie in January ·class Officers Glenn, Green, Shirley Hinds Are Presidents A tie for the presidency of the January class of 1943 was the outstanding feature of the class officer election held last Thursday. In a drawing to see whether Robert Glenn or Harry Fox would be the president, fate was with Bob, for his name was drawn. Harry takes the office of vice president. Other officers for the January class of '43 are Reid Devoe, secretary, and Roger O'Donnell, treasurer. Roger, who received the larger number of votes, was class secretary last year, so he had to take the position of treasurer this time. Shirley Hinds is the new president of the June class of 1943. Homer Thompson, highest in votes, was class president last year and could not hold the position again, so he is vice president. Donna Todd is the secretary and Jack Wells, the treasurer. Officers of the class of 1944 include Tom Green, president; Becky Allen, vice president; Frank, Loeffel, secretary, and Gene Sundeen, treasurer.

Dick Joyce, Pilot, Helps Raid Tokyo One of the daring pilots of one of \:.he B-25's that bombed Tokyo and four other Japanese cities, April 18, was First Lieut. Richard 0. Joyce, a former Lincoln high student. Dick Joyce, as one of the 79 fliers taking part in the raid on Japan, now wears the distinguished service cross. Graduating from Lincoln high in 1937, Dick attended Nebraska university and then enlisted in the air corps in 1940 and took his primary flight training at Glendale, California. He graduated from Kelly Field in March, 1941, and before his transfer overseas had been ·assigned to the 89th reconaissance squadron at Pendleton, Oregon, and the "B-25 Project Detachment" in Florida. Four years ago Dick received an autographed picture from General John J. Pershing who pre. dieted a promising fUture for him. General Pershing's best wishes seem to have been fulfilled, as Dick has proved himself a hero.

Eating Place Survey Made A survey of eating places in Lincoln is being carried on by the health committee, whose members are Dorothy Doty, William Forrey, Ingeborg Kunzendorf, Roger Martin, Mrs. Mary C. Mapes, Miss Ethel Murray, Carl W. Manthey and E. Bryant. Phillips. A report may be made some time in the future. Dr. M. F. Arnholt, city physician, is working at the present time to compile the Sanitary Code, w~ich will protect the public health of the citizens of Lincoln, and will abate practices unfavorable to human comfort, health and well being. Every effort is being made toward good sanitation in Lincoln high school's cafeteria, according to Mrs. Helen Pierce, manager of the cafeteria, who reports that all staff members have a common aim to work together to give students wholesome food. "Within the last five years every member of the cafeteria staff has had a complete physical examination and a tuberculin test," said Mrs. Pierce. "All members are required to wear hair nets, and to do everything possible for the betterment of sanitation at Lincoln high school."

Dr. Oggel to Deliver Sermon to Seniors

Rev. Melvin V. Oggel will give the senior sermon at Westminster church for graduating June seniors Sunday, May 31. It will be the regular 11 :00 o'clock morning service.

High schools are factories that manufacture and put a stamp on the finished product which identifies it in the same manner as does a trade mark, according to Geoffrey Morgan, playwright and composer of the ·words of Lincoln high's "Sons of the Black and Red," who addressed the group A assembly, Friday, May 23. The product which a high school man· ufactures is a good citizen and the trade marks are character, courage, courtesy and culture. Freshmen are the raw material and sen· iors, the finished product. Mr. Morgan, a personal friend of H. C. Mardis, principal, who introduced him, is now in public re· lations work for Douglas Aircraft and is returning to the west coast from a thirteeb week's speaking trip through the east. "When you graduate," said Mr. Morgan, "you don't have a trade mark or stamp on you to show that you are educated. You have a diploma. It used to be that if you told people you were born, they would believe you, but now you have to prove it with a birth certificate. If any one, either teacher or student, doesn't have a birth certificate-get one. They are becoming more important every day." Mr. Morgan explained, however, that education shows on persons. Many requests are sent to principals for letters of recommendation on the trade mark qualities of character, courage, courtesy and culture. These come mainly from the armed forces, defense industries and the men themselves. "Courtesy is really a test of education," stated Mr. Morgan. "Refined people are polite, and crude people are rude. The standard of the army, navy and marines is that no man is fit to be an officer· unless he is a gentleman as well. If a man in the armed forces falls short of any of these standards, he is court martialed."

Hedwig Schultz Contest Winner · Hedwig Schultz, who will graduate in January, 1943, was announced by the judges, Miss Elizabeth Grone, Miss Elsie English and Miss Esther Montgomery, to be the winner of the National Society of Colonial Daughters essay contest. The t_itle of the essay was "What We as High School Students Can Do to Aid Our National Defense." She received a bronze medal. Certificates of honorable mention were given to Harold Grasmick, senior, for his essay, "Making Model Airplanes," Winifred Nelson, senior, for "How I Can Help My Country Win This War" and Hal · Schawmb, sophomore, whose essay was "Carrier for Defense."

Last year 248 winners or their alternates used Regent's scholarships during any one year since the grants were established in 1930. Students who ranked in the upper one-fourth of their high school classes took four examinations for the Regents' contest on March 30 and 31. Tests dealt with contemporary affairs, general information, college aptitude, and mental ability. They were mechanically scored under the supervision of H. M. Cox, director of the university bureau of educa· tional research. Dr. G. W. Rosenolf, univ:ersity examiner, stated that the general quality of response and high standards of proficiency in the competition this year compared favorably with performances of previous years.

Lenore Beck, Bill Orr, Cast and Choir Give Fine Performance of ''M'lle Modiste '' Lovely as the gay little hatshop girl, Fifi, charming as the prima donna, Mme. Bellini, Lenore Beck starred May 22 and 23, in Victor Herbert's opera, "Mademoiselle Modiste," singing gloriously the songs, "If I Were On the Stage," "Hats Make the Woman," "The Mascot of the Troop" and "The Nightingale and the Star." As her lover, Capt. Etienne de Bouvray, Bill Orr thrilled the audiences with "The Time, the Place and the Girl," "The Mascot of the Troop'' (Sung with Fifi) and the finales of the first and second acts. The story involved a hatshop girl with a beautiful voice whose two ambitions were to become a great prima donna ana to marry Capt. Etienne de Bouvray. She is aided and abetted in the first by American Hiram Bent (whose business is promoting), who gives her 5,000 francs for voice lessons and is later repaid when she is famous. In her second desire she is discouraged by her employer, Mme. Cecile, who wants her to marry her son, Gaston, a painter, who would consent to the marriage

only because it would net him 1,000 francs from his mother, and De Comte Henri de Bouvray, uncle of Etienne, who disapproves of the match because he thinks Fifi is a "gold-digger." After refusing to marry Gaston and elope with Etienne, because he would be disinherited, Fifi disappears and tul'J!-S up a year later as the famous Mme. Bellini. She has been engaged to sing at a charity fete at the Chauteau De St. Mars, home of the Comte Henri deBouvray, and when she arri.ves she accidentally meets the gout-stricken Cointe, who is gruff only when he is not singing. The Comte recognizes Mme Bellini as the .hatshop girl, Fifi, and orders her from his _house. She doesn't leave, and later turns up in the garden as the fortune teller who arrives just in time to tell the fortune of Etienne, to remove the veil, and greet the surprised Etien~e. She then sings to his troop before leaving to change herself into the famous Mme. Bellini, whom the Comte, frantically in search of a new prima donna, has engaged at 5,000 francs (for charity), After Mme.

It has been given for 31 years by Mr; and Mrs. H. T. Dobbins in memory of their son, Harry Sid· ney Dobbins, a former student in Lincoln high who died at the age of 18. Judge Bayard Paine reviewed the records of pasf recipi• ents before making the announce-

Bellini sings, the Comte relents and the opera ends with a joyous finale. In the comic roles of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Bent, Patricia Curry and Richard Toren amused the audience with their middle west American actions. Mark Guinan also furnish.ed good comedy in the role of Francois, footman for the Bouvrays. Robert E. Jones, as the Comte de Bouvray, enacted his role with true spirit, especially in the scene where he was suffering from the gout. Gaston, played by Ed Toohey, seemed the true French playboy. The duets of Nanette (Marian Coombs) and Fanchette (Mary Helen Alexis) brightened the first act considerably. Other characters were Bebe (Elizabeth Smaha), General le Marquis de Villefranche (Don Grant), Mme. Cecile (Marjorie Weygint), Lieut. Rene La Motto (Glenn Price) and Marie Louise (Hedy Schultz). The choir sang the parts of the milliners, soldiers and customers and the whole, production was ably directed by Hugh T. Rangeler and accompanied by Paul LeBar.

Catherine Sellers ranked first in scholarship and r e c e i v e d the award from H. C. Mardis who announced that she has made only l's in academic _subjects in high school. Catherine has also won by competitive examination a $600 scholarship to Smith college with $100 exemption on living expenses. Eight Regent Scholarships Given. Dyllis Jo Heitkotter received the Regent's scholarship to the University of Nebraska. Alternates awards were given to Patricia Curry, Marilyn Hayes, Louise Putney, Cathernie Sellers, Mary Ann Sherman, Marjorie Simpson and James Whitmer. Each one of them is likely to receive a tuition scholarship to the university as freshmen. Entertainment for the assembly was furnished by Ardyth Kelley who played a violin solo, "Per petual Motion," by Earl Bohn; Ernie Trumble p l a y in g "The Flight of the Bumble Bee" by Rimsky-Korsakov; Connie McBride and Peggy Hudson who did a comic toe dance, and a boys quartet, c o m p o s e d of Frank Anderson, Bob Keller, Bob Soutliworth and Wesley Cowell wlio sang the "Marine's Hymn" and "I Arn An American." Aecom• :panists were Mrs. 0. D. Trombla, Jean Inhelder and Joyce Stuve. . At the close of the assembly the seniors sang their class song composed by Lenore Beck and led by Ed Toohey and filed from the auditorium.

Changes In Educational Program Are to Be Made A serious, highly debated question has been reigning in the minds of high school students for some time now. College! Should I enter college, join the army or navy, get a defense job1 These are only a few of the questions that the gra-duating seniors are asking themselves. Whether we recognize it or not there are going -to llave to be some revolutionary changes made in our educational program to cope with the war effort. Hundreds of speed up plans are featured in the pamphlets pouring· from colleges and universities of the nation. In nearly all of these, the quarter system is replacing the familiar semester plan. Apparently a great majority of the colleges that have never before attempted a summer session are now planning· to operate on a yeal·around bas-is. 'l'he time is not far away when high schools may follow suit. Our present three months summer vacation is just a relic of the agricultural era when students in school were needed at home in late spring, summer, and early fall to help plant, cultivate and harvest the crops. So this vacation is of no real value today. It merely slows down the process of developing the creativ e and productive powers of the students. Many education debaters believe that, for the duration of the war, by following a 6-4-4-3 plan (six years for elementary; four years for what is now seventh through the tenth grade, four years for the eleventh, twelfth, and the first two years of college; arid three years for advanced study leading to a master's deg ree or for professional or other specialized vocational training, it would be possible for the average student under this plan to fulfill all ordinary r equirements for the bachelor's degree, by the time he reaches t he age of 20, Thus a student might easily graduate from college before entering military service.

War Rationing Prevents · Extensive Vacation Trips So you plan to go on a long, pleasant vacation this summer, eh 1 Well, if you h aven't already h eard, the rationing project hasn 't stopped yet. Gasoline is the next in line. Already in the East they have rationed gasoline for pleasure driving to three gallons a week. As for the vaca tions, well, there will be so very few this year that the people who m ake good profits from tourists - will suffer a severe set back. Plans are under way for possible n ationwide gas rationing by July 1. By this it means they plan to save 250,000 pounds of rubber d aily. With the limit of 2 gallons of gasoline per w eek, w e will not be planning t r ips for t he summer, and that three gallons. takes the. joy out of. joy riding. . Many boyis will i'be work mg on farms lrl· stead of in the city this summer. Girls will be filling positions in the department stores and offices, and in defense plants, and those who do not work had better forget the idea about going up t o the cabin in Minnesota or down to the beach in :B'lorida. There are going to be m any t h in gs to clo right h er e in Lincoln in spare tim e this summer. There are summer camps to go to, summer school t o attend, victory gardens to plant , :food to can, many outdoor sports, in fact there is a new tennis court to b e built on the Administration grounds. There are swimming pools h ere at home. 'l'her e is no chance t his year of wearing out tires to go somewhere far off for a cool swim in the g·ood old la ke. In other words one can k eep pre tty busy and happy in Lincoln and st ill be pat riot ic.

To Shoiv Fair Play, Books Should Be Cleaned Soon Clean up your b ooks now ! There is not much time left to do it. The begin n ing of the final examinations will t a k e up m ost of your time. If you carry five books, y our _job wi ll be much harder. But still it must be done or fine slips will be sent to you. Be sure y ou clean up every little mark. m end all torn pages, fix a ll brok en backs and clean the covers. Then your troubles w ill be ended. .

N o other person likes to u se an v 1mch a book, so clean yours up . Give th·~ other fellow a chance to use a clean book.

Betwee·n The Covers Many seniors are casting an eye 'to the future and trying to decide what college to attend. The Lincoln high library has a number of helpful books on this subject and others relating to college. One of these is "Choosing a College" by John R. Tunis. This book describes different kinds of colleges and discusses ways of meeting expenses. "So You're Going to College" by Clarence Lovejoy is another book which gives valuable information about financial problems. "The College Journey" by Ronald Levinson, gives an account of the 'c ourses offered in colleges. It is an aid to getting the most from college classes. An interesting account of girls and colleges is given in "She's Off to College" by Gulielma Alsop and Mary McBride. This book gives valuable information about the types of colleges and what girls should attend each kind. It tells the dangers that · may trap a girl in her first weeks in the unfamiliar atmosphere of a college, and how to avoid them. The library has the catalogues of many colleges. If in doubt as to what college to attend, make use of the library.

Nightmares, Nail Biting To Reign During Exams Jumpy nerves, nail biting and nightmares will reign over Lincoln high from today till Tuesday. For then is the time when one's fate will be decided. To flunk or not to flunk-that is the question. To go thr ough those dreaded final examinations with flying colors or t o end up with a bright red seven which might decide one's fate evermore. Comes Wednesday morning. Breakfast as usual, feeling a little nervous though. Shorthand test first period but not worrying too much. By home room beginning to feel like a bundle of nerves trying to remember what the teacher said about writing the word pathology. W.onder who invented that word anyhow ? Never heard of it. Home room ends. Goes to . class, drops books scattering them all over t he floor. Everyone steps on you 'til finally, getting all assembled, arrives at room just as bell rings. Sits down under disapproving eye of teacher. Pulls out piece of paper, has to borrow pencil because lead is broken a nd pushes neighbor's books on floor in the rush. F inally gets ready to take dictation. Magnanimity, let's see, how is it written. St ruggles with word, finally leaves it out. Bites fingernails, hair falls in eyes, beg ins to perspire, telephone rings scaring one to death and when the final bell rings hands paper in, rushes to next class, collapses in chair and has to be ta ken to nurse for treatment. And to think one has to go through this every day for five days. Oh woe is life!

'Valmy,' An Underground N eivspaper, Published In Paris Despite Nazis " F ree F rance," a fortnightly bulletin published by the free French press and information service, to which Miss Annetta Sprung subscribes, contained in the April 15 issue an article on a n underground paper in Paris. Paul Simon, a Frenchman now in London, risked his life for months to publish the newspaper, "Val!11y," with the voluntary par· ticipation of the people of F rance. The program and tendency of the newspaper organization were summed up in their name of "Valmy," for Valmy was the first important victory of the French revolution, when the French drove out the Prussians and saved the r epublic. And since once more they wanted to put out the German invader, "Valmy" seemed a fitting name for the paper. Mr. Simon wrote that he was in Paris when the capital was oc-

Greenhouse Star Pine Tree Now Outside 103 A star pine tree which has been growing in a flower pot In the greenhouse for about six years, has been planted just outside of 103, Miss Ruth Hall's home room.

"It is now about nine years old and five a nd one half feet tall." tt does not need any special care as many of the trees in Nebraska. But was taken outside because it had grown too large for the greenhouse and some of the branches were burned by the sun hitting the roof. Its chief purpose is for decoration of stages and of homes, but it is seen in many parks in the north.

Winifred Nelson Wins Memorial Day Contest; Jo Ann Neater Places Second Winifred Nelson, senior a nd winner of many awards finished first in Gold's Memorial Day essay contest. H er placem ent was in class five, the age limits of which wer e 16-18 years. J o. Ann Neater, another senior of Lincoln high placed third in this class. Students from L. H. S. awarded honorable mention in class five were: Ronald Beatty, Donald Nelson, Pauline Har ris, Freda Baker, Stuar t Goldberg, Merrell Shut~, Betty Mae Dw1can, and · J ack Wenstrand. Class four included contestants from the age of 14 to 16 years and Lincoln high students placing an honorable mention there were: J anice Sedlacek, Annette Jacobs, Doris Whited, Barbara Bryant and Donna Lea Tatman. Winifred's prize winning essay follows: "That these honored dead shall not have died in vain- " said a homely but beloved president who breathed the purest patriot ism. The words spring t o the for e with a new significance as the dawn of another memoria l day breaks with the bugles sounding a call to new battle. · Tortured phantoms of her oes who fell in the war to end wars assemble to prot est, "We died to make the wor ld safe for democracy.

fortunes. They left behind them their dreams to r ebuild the world, which if realized, would -have justified the price they paid for the world's survival. The chance came and went in 1919 as flftleting a thing· as the life of a windblown poppy in F la nder's Field. Blame doesn't fall on any man's shoulders. We tried and failed. P erhaps America envisioned something for which she and the world were not quite ready. That failure is unimportant beside the dreaming and the trying. Some day, 1919, will be re-born and the dead of a second war will be watching to see if we miss the new opportunity. "It is rather for us, the living, to dedicat e ourselves t o the unfinished work which t hey thus far have so nobly advanced." Even now we need to r eckon with that next opportunity. In those moments of memoriam, when the wr eathes are laid and the bugles are sounding taps, a firm resolution will be on every .American lip-to sift out the selfishness that marred our olden creed, t o be tolerant, more considera t!l and mor e loving of a ll mankind until our better knowledge of a way of peace shall unite us in an eternal brotherhood. Those dead shall not have died in vain if, through their trial and the lessons of 1919, we learned the path t o the greater ends-for then, "The nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and the government of t he people, by the people, for t he people sha ll not perish f rom. the ea rth.

cupied and that no one expected it. As soon as possible he organized, with some friends, a first group of resistance. Printing and posting such slogans as "Only one enemy, the invader" and "Liberte, Egalite, F raternite: Vive de Cualle!" in P aris and its suburbs was the first step they took. They also drew up slogans in German and stuck them on the cars of ·the German army to demoralize their occupants. Some of t hese read: "Who is the handsomest Aryan in Europe? Dr. Goebbels." "Who is t11e fattest plutocrat? Goering." "Who is the first tyrant ln Europe? Hitler." The second step the little group under took was to start a newspaper. The first issues were made with children's t oy printing sets, and later on, when they ran out of pad-ink and they dared not ask for any, the newspaper was typewritten. Mr. Simon explains it this way in his article: "In large private administrations, people were copying them on typewriters and with mult igraphs. Stenogra· phers copied t hem for days at a time." Mr. Simon says, "In occupied France 80 or 90 percent of the people a re for De Gaulle and resistance."

To the Editor: Do you r ide a bicycle t o school? Well if you do, then you know just how hard it is to find a place to park it, after the 8 :15 bell. It's not that there are not plenty of bicycle racks, but the trouble is the fellows that arrive early don't t ake the time to park their bicycles in t he racks properly, t hus taking up the room of two to three parking spaces. With more and more of us riding biycles t o school now, why. can't we take a little more time and save the jamming of the bicycles into the racks? You must remember t hat you can not replace your bicycle as easily now as you could before the war, for the bicycle manufacturers are now making parts for our national defense program. Also if when you remove yours from t he racks, you should accidently knock over t he bicycle next to yours, take t ime to set it back. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'." C. S. Richards.

Betty Heckel' s Pet Skunk Visits Zoology Class "Jer ry" is a skunk, a striped tailed kitty who was called a rabbit by one of the students (evidently not very familiar with t he markings of a skunk ) when he was brought to school last. Thursday by Bet ty Heckel. Betty has zoology fourth period under Miss Lucy Geig er and she brought the skunk, a pet of the · neighbors, to show the pupils. Recently, Betty brought "Dudy" the Doberman Pinscher, to school to point out the different markings inherited by the half developed dog from the breedings of t hree different dogs, the Manchester Terrier, German Shepard, and an old German hunting dog. The points easily observed were the markings, coloring, swiftness, alert ears, the nose, and small boned legs, all characterist ic of the Manchester Terrier, and la rge stature · and brilliant mentalit y, char acter istic of the German Shepard. The Doberman Pinscher is the newest and smartest dog," said Betty. "But many people who · own some other kind will not agree.!' Both the skunk and the dog behaved very well under Betty's capable hands, but n either liked, the slick floors they had to walk, or slide; on.

Pre-Flight

Honolulu Student Junior in L. H. S.

Course Must Be Provided Speakers Talk On Air Travel Schools must provide pre-flight courses to meet today's needs. This is a conclusion of the Interetate Conference on Aviation. At the mathematics department meeting on Tuesday, May 19, Miss Belen Dunlap gave an account on the Interstate Conference o~ Aviation for high school youth which she had attended at the State Bouse on Saturday, May 2. The first main speaker was Bruce Uthus, special assistant to the assistant Secretary of Commerce. Mr. Uthus spoke on "Air <:;onditioning America." He said that soon a 14 year old boy will be able to fly a plane for recreation one half hour after seeing it. Soon people will not be a·s tonished in learning that the shortest distance between two points on the earth is not a straight line, or that school children visited the Arctic by plane tO study the Eskimo. Next, I. V. P.a ckard, secr etary of the Nebraska State Aerona utical commission spoke on "Promoting Aviation for Nebraska High Schools." He stated that the study of aviation in Nebraska was a necessity because of fatalities. Now, however, flying has become safer. Dr. Renner Most Outstanding. The most · outstanding speaker was Dr. George J . Renner, consultant geog rapher for Civil Aeronautics administration, who spoke oil "Geography for Air Age." The airplane, as he pointed out, has made a complete new geography. If no geography is taught in New York and an outworn geography is taught in Nebraska, people will continue to have · the wrong ideas. Maps, however, are not geography. They are merely devices for visual education. Maps are only a diagram of what m an thinks is geography. The airplane is one of the most important single inventions ever made in t erms of what it did to man's ideas. In the beginning, the earth was regarded as flat, thus a safer world. Next, after 1492, it was a cylinder. Islands became important and, for the first time, the shor t est distance between two points was not con8idered a straight line. Dr. R enner t old of wha t he called a quadrilateral of power. One corner is the Panama Canal, it then goes thru San Diego to the Aleutian Islands, down from Dutch Harbor to Guam, w ith a spur west to the Philippines and on to the Samoan Isla nds. He sa id tha t if Guam and the Philippines had been fortified, the attack on Pearl Harbor would probably have been impossible. "E ducation Faces the Air Age" was the talk given by Dr. Dwagne Orton, educational consultant for Civil Aeronautics administration. He said that the world h as shrunk from the size of an apple to the aize of a pea. Be estimates that during the next three years $60,000,000,000 will be spent on aviation. Americans must plans NOW. It is fly or die.

Howard Goss, new member of the junior class, recently arrived in the United States from Honolulu. He was born in the Philippine I slands, Manila to be exact. He attended Punahou, a private school in Honolulu, and is impressed at the size and crowded halls of Lincoln 'high, Puenahou having only 800 students. "It's rather difficult to get used to the length of the classes here, as I had only forty minute periods before," exclaimed Howard, "but I've found the girls and boys very friendly here," he added. He missed the eruption of the volcano in Hawaii by two days. (Though with no regrets.) When asked about sports and recreation in Honolulu, Howard stated that they are very similar to the sports here, football, track and swimming being the most prominent. He lettered in football there. "The land centainly is flat here," he said. "When we look out of a window in Hawaii, all we can see are mountains, mountains and more mountains." "As for future plans," he concluded, "I hope to return to Honolulu when 'this' is all over, the rest of my family still being there. I plan to join the air corps there if possible."

New Orpheons' Officers Elected Orpheons officers for next semester were elected at the "meeting May 21. Results were Gretchen Schroeder as president, Alene Babich as v ice-president, Mary Claire Phillips as secretary, Ann Phillips as treasurer, and Susan Chambers as sergeant-at-arms.

From 68 gir ls in Lincoln high who a nswere" a national Girl Reserves opinion poll at a r ecent m eeting, 63 are purchasing war stamps and bonds and 32 are h ing with a conser vat ion or s alvage p rogram. The quest ionn air e is being given to Girl Reserves all over the count r y to get a n estim at e of what the members a re doing fo r deien se, and to find out some of their opinions on the war. In U.e cit y of Lincoln 117 Girl Reserves answered t hese question:iaires. This question was a sked: "l f, immediately after the fighting stops, you were an official r ep resentative of th e United States at an international conference, which of the following would you vote for?" S ever al suggestions were list ed. A majority of the Lincoln high g irls favored feeding starving people a nd attempting t o r econstruct industry so people could find employment. Impor tance was a lso given to the maintaining of order in war-torn areas and fighting disea se. Least desired were the proposals to tr y to counteract fascist teaching and to establish democr a tic government s in all conquered countries. Assuming t he United Nation:.s win the war, 62 of the 68 Lincoln high girl.; thought that all the n ations should be brought in ' ' help m a ke a peace settlement. Only 4 believed the virt0r nations alone should arr ange terms of peace. N early all are expect ing to at tend college or vocational s chool. Ver y few thought they would leave school now to t a ke a job in a fac · tory, office or farm if it were off ered them. Although 40 Lincoln h igh Girl R eserves said they have friends whose p arents wer e born in Italy, Japan or Germany, only 3 feel less f riendly t oward them becau se of t he war. Mrs. L eo Black, Girl Reserves secretary, who had charge of the questionnaires, sa id tha t another similar opinion poll would probably be conducted next year.

Following are some shorts on the succcess acquired by the different teams: Beginning the sea.son with a revised coaching staff and nine returning m en, not all lettermen, Lincoln high hung up its fourth state football title in five years. Along with the state title, the Links held the Missou ri Valley crown and victories over t eams from all directions. At the start of the season, sports writers voted the Red and Black a mediocre team with less than a 50-50 chance to regain its title, be cause of the strength of defending champions, Omaha Tech. Conquer All Foes. The B eechner-Weya nd boys stampeded their opposing foes with overwhelming power, among them: Curtis Aggies, northern division; Scottsbluff Bearcats, western part; Grand Island, near-west; Sioux City East, eastern and metropolitan teams; Omaha Technical and Omaha South; and their intra-city foe, Northeast. York, Southeastern champion, was the only competitor for the N ebraska title, but on the basis of competition, playing under weath· er conditions and other factors which enter in, the Red and Blacksters were chosen. The "T" formation made famous by Clark Shaunessy, ex-

Twenty-five maple wood aspirants, including three lettermen, answered new cage mentor Lyle Weyand's initial call for basketballers in early December. The squad, made up mainly of rese rve boys, sharpened their shooting eyes and slickened their maneuvers for their opening tilt with Omaha Central. The Omaha Central-Lincoln affair proved to be a tester for both squads, with the Links, whose atta ck was highlighted by Mc Arthur's scoring treat that totaled 15 counters, defeating the Omahar1s, 35 to 29. Success continued as the Red and Black quintet won decisive and close clashes from H a stings, Grand Island, Oma.ha South, Oma.ha T~ch, Sioux City Ea.st, Sioux City Central, Omaha Central, and Crete before receiving a first setback of the season dealt through the hands of the Omaha South Packer five, 18 to 16. The Red and Black hoopsters momentarily regained their stride as they bested both B eatrice and York but were stifled for the second time in the season while play-

Winning again became t he path for Lincoln to tread as it rallied in the second half . to defeat Omaha Tech and tie for the Missouri Valley crown.

Abe Lincoln of Council Bluffs, Iowa , the team tied with the Capital City quintet, was eclipsed from the top position and thus left L incoln t o rule as the Sioux City East squad stumped the fellow Iow ans. After t riumph over Kearney, Lincoln w as involved in its third and final mishap w h en the southeastern champs, F a lls City, mastered Lincoln, 27 to 22. The Red and Black then entered the Beatrice regionals and massacred Falls City, Beatrice, a nd the intra-city rival, Northeast. With s uch prize possessions tucked under its belt, Lincoln was classified as the t eam to beat in the state finals. The cla ssification was correct as Lincoln stifled York in round one, Creighton Prep in round two, and rang up the curtain by again outplaying its rival, Northeast, in the final r ound for its first b asketball champions hip since 1938.

Lincoln high's football team last semester received the most publicity of any mid-western high school grid squad in more than two decades. This honor was paid to the Red and Black because of its ability to operate and alternate from the "T" formation. Minor league t earn.s of semi-pro baseball w ill be denied cha rtered buses after June 1, a ccording to the Office of D ef en se Transpo rt ation . . ...... . , ..•.. . .. . ... Every precaution and care is being given to Lincoln high school equipment and from the old delapidated stock the best pieces are being salvaged to repair the new parts that are worn. Mr. Morr is is treating the footballs and basketballs with chemical solutions to preserve the leather and make the balls last longer. Every piece. of material checked in is double checked for tears, which are mended. Bad parts are removed and better set in place. Coach Ralph Beechner had ordered new material last October and therefore the Links received fresh equipment before the war ration and priorities were enforced. T eams carrying the Lincoln colors won thirteen troph ies this y ear, t hree state, four World H erald placques, Omaha in vitational, MINK team troph y and r elay, T a rkio tri-s ta.te, r egional basketball and the Missouri Val1ey. Our story for t oday is a bout t he track t eam. Occasion: Nebra ska high school trac k m eet. Situation: Lincoln is ahead but only three points with the relay left t o r un. So many things can happen when a st a te title is at st ake, especially in t he relay. The ba ton slips from one's hand, a ba d start, boxed in, et al.

Oth,er Lincoln hig.h boys receiving positions were Tom Noble, one of three supreme court justices of Poteet county; and Bill Forrey, mayor of Fort Armstrong. Lenke Isacson, a member of the "Federalist" party, of Omaha Central high school, for the first time in the history of Cornhusker Girls' State, lifted the governorship from Lincoln and its surrounding territory.

Dr. M. Oggel Gives Sermon 'Hitting Bull's Eye' Theme of Service; Many Seniors Attend In the sollemn atmosphere of Westminster Presbyterian church, the Rev. Melvin V. Oggel, D. D., delivered the annual senior sermon, entitled, "Hitting the Bull's Eye," to the graduating class of Lincoln high school, Sunday, May 30.

The Rev. Mr. Oggel declared that one misses the mark in sin. "One reason we miss the mark," he inserted, "is because our aim is poor. The other, is that we shoot at the wrong target. We aim at the one below instead of the one above." The Rev. Mr. Oggel recalled the day a few years ago, when a disastrous fire broke out in the city where he was Jiving, when the most valuable quarter-block of the city was ruined. One of the merchants, who owned part of the building, with tears streaming down his face, was .pointing to an opening in the ruins. Cradled in this opening was the cross of the Roman Catholic church in the next block. "This shows that altho flames lick our· values, the old rugged cross is the proof of God's redeeming love for man," he stated. Closing his sermon, Dr. Oggel said, "There is nothing so dear I could wish for you of the graduating class as that you might say with the poet and mean it, 'I take 0 cross thy shadow for my abiding place."

Stenography proved to be the most popular vocational choice among the girls, while engineering is the choice of the boys shown in the poll taken of the graduating seniors. There are 83 students who want to be stenographers and 42 who are aimed for an engineering career. To be a teacher, with 27 preparing for that career, is the next in line in the desires of the students. There will be 26 future nurses to assist 20 future .d octors graduating from Lincoln high. Also in this field will be three laboratory technicians, eight dietitians and three pharmacists. Aroused by the war, nine boys plan to be aviators, one to be a sailor and eight future farmers, while three wish to be forecasters. There are two prospective archeologists and one horticulturist, while 11 plan to enter the chemistry field. One boy is going to raise his voice loud and long following the vocation of his father as an auctioneer. Entering the field of fine arts will be 15 artists, one writer, two architects, two dancers, two musicians, two draftsmen and one dramatist. There is one boy who wants to be a printer, while two girls wish to be beauty operators. Law is the vocation laid open 'for ten prospective attorneys, but it's journalism in some way or other for 17 seniors. Five plan to be buyers artd 12 will be salesmen and saleswomen of some sort. There will be one each of the following: Carpenter, religious trainer, wholesale grocer, librarian and telephone operator. Following up their athletic ability will be two boys who plan to be coaches. As for the rest of the seniors who hflve decided w1>at they will become upon finishing school, there will be 12 a,ccountants, four social welfare workers and two advertisers. The rest of the seniors have not as yet made up their minds as to what they will become.

Summer Session Will Commence June 11 Registration for the Teachers college high school summer session will start June 10. The classes will open June 11 and end July 31. School will run on a schedule of 3 periods in the morning until noon, starting at 7:30 A. M. and closing at 12:20 P. M. Subjects offered are algebra 1, 2 and 3, American history 2, English 5, 6 and 8, typing 1, shorthand 1, biology 1 and 2, geometry 2, commercial law, modern history 2, bookkeeping 1, physiology 2 and civics.

Scribe Shoivs Talent of Lincoln High Writers--Expresses Hope for Future The 1942 Scribe, edited. by the writers club, distributed last Friday, contains a collection of student-written articles of timely interest. "I Am America," a poem by Florence Wilkinson, opens the magazine with a patriotic theme. Other works reflecting a love of America are "Suspense" by Frank Killian, a defense stamp sales talk, "American Intersecti~n" by Robert Jones, expressing the things which make America free, "Appreciation" by Betty Duncan, and "Acrostic" by Betty Kingdon. "War's Rival" and "V for Victory" by Mary Chappell, "Hello, Mom" by Richard Phipps, and "Air Raid" by Terry Barton reflect the hate that high school students, brought up in a world of peace, hold for war. Humorous items are not lacking either. "The Great American Game," a baseball story by Burton Folsom, is a take-off on the newspaper sports write-ups. Ruth Franklin's "Beauty Parlor" gives a brief picture of the place where new faces are made, and "My Father and the Salvage Campaign" by Shirley Grossman tells of the trials of ''no tin cans, please." Dedicated to a nonsense anthology is "A Quiet Evening in the Bug House" by Jean Davenport.

Many Seniors Have Made Unusual Records

Junior Highs Promote 860

For the first time in the history of the school, Lincoln high will graduate a girl from the trades preparatory course. At present Jeryne Harral is the only girl taking this course. To follow up this, she has chosen printing for her vocation and is planning on going to Washington, D. C., after graduation. Other seniors also have made interesting records. Jean Bennett and Marylouise Kennedy have a clean slate. Neither has ben absent or tardy during her entire school life. They were knocking o.n wood when this report was given last week so as not to spoil their record. To make it more spectacular, Jean has attended nine different schools. Helen Knott is almost able to come up to this record, for she has never been absnt from school and has been tardy only twice. On June 1 of this year, Don Woolery had served two years with the Colorado National Guard. He had to obtain special enlistment pape1·s to d o thie. Leaving .'. June 3 for California, will be Arlene E. Bradt, where she will become the wife of Aviation Cadet Harry G. Holman. Nellie Abbott has attended three high schools in three years. Tenth grade was spent at Eagle high school, part of eleventh grade at Jackson and now she is graduating from Lincoln h igh. Elwood Barnes, Lincoln high's ace runner, has an unusual hobby, that of a pigeon fancier.

Activities F'actor On Scholarships Scholarship, debate and dramatic activities were the deciding factors in choosing the six juniors who will attend the University of Denver for four weeks this summr on scholarships. Those chosen are Erma Tyrell, Joan Gellatly, Maurine Even, Mark Wittenberg, Robert Gillan and Thomas Sorensen. The students will be required to pay $46 for the whole period, $35 is for board and room; the rest will be used for recreation. The course, including classes in diction, speech correction and practice debates, will also furnish a program of variety for recreational purposes. Included will be plays seen in the Denver theater and trips into the Colorado mountains. "Round Robin" tournaments will be held so that students will have a chance to debate with each other. Don Patterson and Dale Wisser, who won honors for the debate team, attended the school last year.

Then we see the student body itself. Sohpomores first, the "tenderfeet" of the trail, and juniors, definitely "on the march" toward the desirable position as seniors. Seniors at last appear in a new arrangement of panels which give a definite modernizing touch. The summit has been reached, the Links can go no farther, but the seniors step out into the future. Although many students are attempting to secure books now, the Links are sold out and it i!I impossible to get more.

China Born Girl Traveled Farthest To Be Graduated Doris Johnson has traveled the farthest from her birthplace to be graduated from Lincoln high. She was born in Kuling, Kupek, China, where her parents were missionaries. Doris is moving on, though, for as soon as school is out she is moving to Chicago, Illinois. Another student graduate born out of the United States is Ascension Gonzales. He and his sister, Jane, who is a former Lincoln high student, were born in Mexico, while coming farther . from the south is Janet Hutchinson, who was born in Rosario, Argentine. Kansas was the birthplace of thirteen graduates. Aside from Nebraska, it claimed more than any other state in the union, but Iowa and Colorado run a close second and third for there were twelve and eleven born in these states, respectively. Nine students have come here from Missouri, while six have come from South Dakota. Illinois produced five L. H. S. graduates. As for Minnesota and · Oklahoma, three came from each · state. From Wisconsin, California and Ohio are two graduating students each, while North Dakota, New Hampshire, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Washington, Wyoming, Georgia, Utah and New Mexico have offered one each to this class.

THE :ADVOCATE

Editor Highly Appreciates Cooperation of Students With the final issue of the Advocate this semester, the books are officially closed until next September. As managing editor, I should like to express my thanks to all members of the staff for their splendid cooperation. Other contributors deserve a great deal of credit for success of this publication. Since the quality of a high school paper is determined by its r eaders, I also thank the entire student body for its wholehearted support. Barbara Emerson and Gretchen Schroeder, former managing editors, join rne in my appreciation. To all those connected with this semester's Advocate, "Ivfany thanks." Sue Chambers, Managing Editor.

High Initiative Is Shown, By Prompt Club Members ''What 's your excuse?" "Why were you absent from the last club meeting1" These are ·some common questions that arc asked of absent club members. There arc many types of club goers, good and bad. ,Johnny Jones just doesn 't bothl~l' to come to the club meetings. Frank Doe swishes into the meeting about twenty minutes late. The clock ·watchers sit through the meeting staring absent mindedly at the clock, wishing that they were home reading the paper or playing ball in the vacant lot with their neighborhood friends. There are elub members who sav that they will work and then they don't c~ operate, leaving the work to the sponsor or club officers. When students are not interested in clubs, they indirectly lessen the interest for the remaining faithful club members who are striving to make and maintain a good organization. Those not interested should drop out, or when possible be discouraged from joining in the first place. Sometimes some ambitious students try to belong 1to nearly every club and to assume too much responsibility. Consequently, the have so much to do and worry abot'lt that they lose interest in all their clubs.. Perhaps if they belonged to just one or two clubs instead of three or four, they would be rn uch more satisfied with club work. 'fhere is also the chairman or officer who assumes too much responsibility and does all the work. If he would let more of his committee members assume some of this responsibility, perhaps more would be interested in that particular club. Lincoln high offers a large variety of clubs that start new students off on a be1ieficial social life and offer a chance for pupils to learn more of the subject in which they are especially interested. 'l'hey offer students a good time, educational values and a chance for students to make more friends. The club is on hand to fnn1ish the incentive and the program. Every member should strive next year to help by being prompt and active.

Our Service Organizatio1ts

Help In Flood Disaster "It can happen here "-this statement was definitely proved, as we all know, Monday, May 11. Yes, destructive flood waters roared in on a "sleepy Lincoln" people, without warning or consideration for people, homes or businesses. Again the American Red Cross, Salvation Army and the American Legion ''came to the rescue.'' Credit, therefore, should go to these "ready, willing and able" groups, who without asking "why," went about the task of rescuing,. feeding and clothing flood vi ctims. Some of us were, and to this day are, unaware of the real functions of these organizations. Today the American Red Cross is two-fold -service to aid the morale of the armed forces and services to safeguard the life and health of the civilian population. The Red Cross must go with the army into the field and to distant outposts and accompany the navy to outlying naval stations. It must be with the men in hospitals wherever general hospitals are located. Through its field director staffs in military stations, and its welfare and recreation staffs in hospitals, the Red Cross provides the important link of communication between service men and their families at home. 'fhe Red Cross works in all types of disasters, including cloudbursts, cyclones, epidemics, fires, floods and many others.

W hile my better half, M. C., is bu5y taking the position of Shirley Hinds, I shall t ry t o struggle (and I do mean strug·gle ) throu gh this awful semester (as if I don't know ) because it seems there 's no time left , even for romance or joke-t elling. The result! No Static column or the next thing t o it.

Some Teachers Will Go Into Defense Jobs, Others To Take Vacations During Summer Teachers vacations w ill be limited this year on account of the gas rationing and all th€ other war time implications. Some teacher"s who had previously planned to take vacations will stay at home and g et jobs. Bernard N evin will teach the summer school of instrumental music for the next six weeks. H. C. Mardis, principal will teach in the University of Nebraska Teachers college and work in the Lincoln high school office part of the time. Miss Mildred Kemp, home economics teacher, will do defense work, or will attend summer school at the University of Southern California. Miss Helene Scheme! says in order to study the methods of requiring proper moving pictures and equipment for her physiology classes, she is going to take a course in audio and visual education at the University of Nebraska this summer for s ix weeks. In this course they view films and the spectators pass judgment on them, determining the different fields in which they belong. They also help in making films for the different courses. Miss Scheme! feels that Lincoln high school is in great need of more instruction in this field and that by taking this course she might help in the future in acquiring the proper equipment for all the physiology classes. James Wallace, printing instructor, plans to get a defense job or some other kind of job this summer. Carl Orness, head of the trades preparatory department, is going to stay in Lincoln and play all the golf he can. He belongs on Lawlor's g olf team. Other· plans are undecided. Hugh Rangeler plcns to get a job during the summer months. Ralph Beechner, who is manager of the Capital Beach swim-

Lewis Day Is Studying Medicine At John Hopkins Returning to Lincoln high, his old alma mater, last Wednesday, was Lewis Day, a medical student at John Hopkins university. Lewis, a former member of the student council, home room representatives, and Orpheons, was graduated from Lincoln high in 1939, and is now a senior, studying to be a doctor. "After completing my training at John Hopkins university, I hope to enter Harvard medical school,"' were the words of Lewis. He went on to explain that medical students are now attending classes the year round, except for two weeks vacation. This would make the usual four year course at Harvard, last three a nd threequarters years. When Lewis attended Lincoln high, one of his main interests was music-he played trumpet in the band. When asked what sul•jects proved to be the most valuable to him at Lincoln high, he replied, "I believe mathematics did the most for me, since I was 'pretty superior' in this subject when I first entered John Hopkins. Latin was not of such great value." Lewis stated that studying to be doctor, "is not exactly easy," and takes a long time, but would be worth while in the end. He was very much impressed with Lincoln , sinc;e so many new and fine buildings have "sprouted up in the past two or three years." Lewis's vacation will come to an end, June ·15, when he will once more return to John Hopkins university.

Canning Demonstrations Are Given to Girls Mrs. Katherine Henninger has been giving demonstrations of canning by different processes two Saturday · mornings to about 20 girls, with additiona l one-hour classes on Monday and Tuesday after school. Mrs. Henninger said that nona cid vegetables, such as peas and beans, are canned by the hot w a t er bath, or pressure cooking methods. Tomatoes, rhuba rb and s trawberries are done by the open kettle method.

Lettel' 1'o The Editor 'fo the EditCJr : In such times I think it is a very necessary that the student body be well informed on t he day's happenings. One of the best ways to be informed, though, is through the newscasts. In previous years the students of Lincoln high school were fortunate enough to have a newscast over their own sound system, but for the last year it has been discontinued. They were very educational and an interesting service so I thin]{ it would be a very good plan again to have a newscast every morning over our sound sy.s tem next semester. Ed LabOvitz.

Carl Manthey will t ake advanced work in science at the Universit y of Nebraska. Ralph Hansen will serve as a field secretary for the Lincoln School of Commer ce for t he summer. R obert Landegren pla ns to cont inue work in the book room fo r t he entire summer, or at least till he is called to the army. David Sell will be a traveling salesman. Ellis Jeffe ry may work on a farm this summer t o build health for defense work and teaching next year, because he has gone to summer school every other summer. Winifred Lockhart A yers w ants to go to the University of N ebraska this summer and take radio work. She is also going to do defense work. Miss Dolores Young is g oing to spend the sum m er m Los Angeles, California, with friends. She is planning to find a j ob t here. "I would like to work in a studio a s a designer or dressmaker ," s he remarked. Miss Young is having the pride and joy of her life, her English made bicycle, shipped to Cal,ifornia so she will have a means of t ransportation after the gas rationing goes into effect. Miss Emma Snyder is going t o the American Library association national meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the last part of June. Mrs. F ern Housman may go to Denver for a while this summer. If gasoline rationing does not interfere, Mary Bardwell will spend the su mmer at Pelican lake, in Minnesota. At the close of school, Lucy Geiger will leave for Salina, Kansas . Gilbert Rogers again this summer is pla nning to cook for a fossil digging expedition sponsored by t he Univ~rsity of Nebraska.

Links to Go on Fossil Expedition For University Due to the war and shortage of money there w ill be only one field party from the University of Nebraska making an expedition this summer. The expedition is sent out to bring back fossils for the museum in Morrill hall. E. J. Blue, a science teacher at Irving junior h igh, usually heads the expedition, a nd accompanying him are boys from the university, Lincoln h igh and Teachers college high. This summer the boys from L incoln high that are going are Harold Waite and Bill Green. If transportation is m ade . possible Bill Reinhard, Dick Loomis and Joe Arthaud expect to go. Gilbert Rogers. Span ish teacher, better known as "Buck" to the boys, was the cook last year assisted by Harold Waite. They expect to go this year and take t he same positions. The camp is set up on the open p rairie, as it must be near the quarry where they work. The boys work ·eight hours a day digging with a sh ovel, m anage a team of horses or 'tractor. Before the bones are sent back to the museum, t hey are numbered and r ecorded as to w hat t hey are. This makes it easier for the mu seum to match the bones together without opening every cast. A long with fossil huntin g, a bit of t axidermy w ork is accomplished. They have ;i, permit to shoot any bird or mammal in the state. Ther efore they collect quite a few skins. Som e of t he boys were interested in snakes, a nd would go on "snake hunts" on Sundays. Most of the snakes caught can n ow be seen alive in Bessey hall.

Jean Moyer is going to take a big trip up north, shall we say Faribault to see her one and only B. G. Fullerton. What's cooking between Peg Milet> and Daye Andrews 1 It looks to me like a new romance. Alice Abel and Ray Boehmtr· liked the square dancing so much at the Senior party that. they go aroimd to tl1cse little tov1·11s and rc<.l lly show them how to do it. V erncll Hen hinger and Ramey Beachlcy seem to be hitting off pretty good. Nothing like a good old picnic and such. How about this Barbara Breed and Wilber Wiedman deal and also Winnie Nelson and J erry Ryan. Jerry Writ has been debating whether to give Jean Greenburg his picture. Better hurry up Jeny or she '11 be all out of the notion of wanting· it. It has been fun writing about all you in the column and I hope I didn't make too many enemies. Also, hflts off to two swell dass sponsol's Mrs. Babich and 1'1rs. Rein.

Four Lettermen To Grace 1942 Gridiron Aggregation Links Athletes Play Muny Ball • • • Well, here's some news a lot of the boys have bee.n waiting for. The football pl}ysical examinations will begin Saturday, August 22, and will continue on Monday, August 24. The· practice itself will begin Tuesday, August 21>. New equipment has been added to the stock, and there was · an adequate supply unused last year. By the way, everything will begin at 9 :00 all three days. We hear local sporting goods &tores are buying large letter sweater orders. Anyway, they should, becuse the Lincoln coaches warded a total of 112 letters during the season of 1941-42. . Each sport has the following number of lettermen: Football 35, basketball 12, swimming 14, tennis .5, golf 5, baseball 16 and track 25. One student manager lettered in each sport. Howard Debus, one-time Li~ln high crack athlete, will go into the navy some time during the summer under a V-7 classification. Howard received letters · in football and track while in Lincoln and was awarded the Harry Sidney Dobbins medal. While he is only a sophomore in the University of Nebraska, he has received major awards in football and track. Speaking of the Dobbins award, the hand tha t Eddie Hall received when he won the medal was tremendous and also well deserved. Nice going, Eddie. The north field and reserve football squads will demand attention of the coaching staff over the.summer. , Due to Joe Toman's change of scenery from Lincoln high to physical education for the army, there is no present reserve coach.

Seasoned Reserve Pigskin Aces To Fulfill The Plentiful Gaps For the first time in the history of Lincoln hig·h school football teams, there will be no returning linemen. Jim Waters, only junior, is moving to Boston at the end of the school year. The backfield presents a brighter situation with four returning lettermen, one regular.

The lettermen are breaststroker Bob Miller, who finished second in the state meet; Ed Schaumberg, who took fourth in the 50 yard free 'style; Don Miller, third in the 220 yard free style, and Harry Meginnis, who placed fifth in diving.

Especially felt will be loss of Perry Branch, state 5 0 yard free syle record holder, who captured two firsts during last year's state meet; Bill Fenton, who won the 100 yard backstroke , and Jim Waters, winner of t he 100 y a rd breas tstroke.

The last G. A . A . meeting of the semester was h eld Thursday, May 28. in th~ girls' gym. T he new officers were inst alled and for the program the mode rn da ncing group performed. Th e emblems were awarded by the spring sports leaders. The annual G. A. A. picnic followed the m eeting at Antelope park. Approximately 35 attended. The afternoon was spent in eating, having a good active time, and last but not least , the baseball game that usually occupies a good part of the time on a picnic. Visiting in the gymnas ium last Thursday were three former Lincoln high a thletes, Helen Becker, J ean Whedan and F ern Freeman. All three are now majoring in .p hysical educatioi-i at the univer'sity. Emblems were awarded at t he G. A. A . meeting Th ursday, May 28.

There are at least 10 to 12 boys over 1 60 pounds returning or coming up from J oe Toman's reserve squad, and more will come up to or over this weight by August 25, the first day of football practice next fall. "After t he · football team w on, and this is true all over, when a team w ins a championship, the other teams wished to accomplish this. But most importa nt, they did not just wish to do this, but had the qualifications which were formerly mentioned," the coach declared. He went on to say, "In track this season we had more letterm en returning than the usual number for Lincoln teams. These lads worked h ard and long to accomplish their purpose and deser ve a ll the cr edit paid t o them." The teams bearing R ed and Black colors won thirteen trophies and h a d many more titles · including four st ate and three Missouri Va lle y. The World Herald awarded Lincoln with four placques.

A few suggestions by Coach Ralph Beechner to keep fit during the summer are: Take plenty of wind sprints, calisthenics and get out in the open.
